Greece recalls ambassador to Austria over migrant restrictions

Groups of frustrated migrants, including families with small children, trudged along Greek roads on Thursday hoping to reach Macedonia after authorities stopped their buses to ease a bottleneck on the blocked border.

Almost 2,000 migrants per day cross illegally into Greece on their way to a better life in the continent's wealthier north, though restrictions imposed by Austria and Balkan nations have left thousands trapped in the financially broken country - which has seen nearly a million arrivals since January 2015.
