SAVIDGE: Let's go overseas now to that desperate refugee crisis in Europe, where thousands of refugees some fleeing war-torn countries, have finally arrived at the Austrian border. Families walked for up to nine hours on a highway from Budapest Friday. Overnight the Hungarian government deployed a fleet of buses to take them to the border. CNN's Frederik Pleitgen is there where these refugees are exhausted, but they are at least one step closer to asylum. Fred?</s>FREDERIK PLEITGEN, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: There is elation here among the thousands of refugees that have finally made it here to Austria. It was a very difficult, and for many of them, a very frustrating journey. Of course they came through large parts of Eastern Europe. But the most problematic part of their trip was certainly through Hungary. Many of them, of course, had to cross the border fence. Then they had to make a difficult journey into the capital of Budapest where all of a sudden they were stranded on a square in front of the main railway station because the railway company there would not transport them to Austria and to Germany as they wanted. Now, it took a lot of venting of that anger and some standoffs to finally make the Hungarian government budge. Of course, there was that standoff on a train where people refused to get off, where the authorities had cordoned that train off and made the people go into shelters in Hungary. And then there were several thousand people that started walking to the Austrian border, saying if they won't be transported there, then they will just walk. Now, finally, the Hungarian government did relent. They sent out buses, and those buses have now made it here to the Austrian side of the border, and the people were greeted with nothing but smiles. They received food, water, medical attention, and many of them will be bussed now to train stations where they can go on to destinations both in Austria and in Germany.
