 Austria's chancellor 1 says his country's acceptance of thousands of migrants traveling through Hungary is not open-ended. Werner Faymann says Austria will gradually step away from emergency measures. In the meantime, German chancellor Angle Merkel holds a crisis meeting today amid apparent divisions within her government over the decision to open Germany's boarders as DB reports unprecedented 2 numbers of migrants are arriving at Munich central station. JS arrived in Munich from Nigeria a week ago. He came back to the station last night to join crowds greeting the new arrivals.'We are grateful but it was't ideal for immigrants.' 67000 migrants are estimated to have arrived in Munich on Saturday with 12000 more arriving early Sunday. SH is the spokesperson for the government of * area. She admits it is unlike anything they've dealt with before.'It's quite a challenge and we try our best. We try to care for them. We try to give them food, to drink, to give them clothes.' Only 15 percent are expected to remain in the city. The rest will be sent to other parts of Berberia and Germany. At the Vatican today, Pope Francis called Catholic parishes, convents and monasteries 3 across Europe to take in migrant families. He said the Vatican will take shelter two families. And Republican presidential contender Ohio governor John Kasich tells ABCs this week the US should play a bigger role in Europe's migrant crisis. I think we do have a responsibility in terms of  taking some more folks in, making sure they assimilate and at the same time helping 4 people to actually be safe as they move. That's logistical support but this is fundamentally an issue the Europe has to come to grasp with. Meanwhile another Democrat 5 has jumped into the presidential race. Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig says his crowdsourced exploratory committee has reached his fundraising goal. He says his platform is campaign finance reform. And if he achieves it, he will resign and let his vice 6 president take over. Negotiations 7 over the Trans-Pacific Free-trade Dealer 8 mired 9 in disagreements over auto 10 parts. As NPR's UN reports Japan's auto industry wants to protect its ability to acquire auto parts from non-TPP countries. The manufacturer of cars and auto parts now crosses many borders. Japanese car makers 11 tend to rely on more suppliers outside of countries included in the Trans-Pacific trade deal and want to preserve access to that supply chain.But Mexico is looking to protect its domestic auto industry by advocating that cars traded within the TPP block should be required to use at least half their components 12 from TPP member country. US * also supports such protections. They say it will prevent more car makers from switching to non-American parts suppliers.


Independent investigators 13 are rejecting the Mexican government's investigation 14 into the disappearance 15 of 43 students last year which concluded that the students were incinerated in a garbage dump. The independent report says there is no evidence that happened and investigation needs to be redone. The case triggered an international outcry. The summer movie season officially ends tomorrow night. And as expected, it has been one of the biggest in Hollywood's history. But NPR's Bob Mandela reports that there were still some surprises.Nothing worked out the way Hollywood thought it would except the bottom line.Roughly 4.4 billion dollars were taken into US box offices in three months, just not what the industry has expected. Back on Memorial Day in *'s thought, the summer's biggest hit would be Avengers: Age of Ultron with Jurassic World a distant second. The reality was the other way around. And wanna-be blockbuster sequels like Ted2, Magic Mike and Terminator didn't even crack the hundred million dollar mark. What happened? Industry analysts 16 think social media happened with comments on Twitter and reviews on sites like Rotten Tomatoes affecting audiences more than advertising 17 budgets. That's entertainings.
