Having covered Europe, and Germany in particular, since the day Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the continent to mass migration in the autumn of 2015, I often feel like a chronicler of doom.

Germany will ramp up border checks to stop illegal immigrants, German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer announced. The move comes after the country's right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) made big gains in the last month's regional elections.

"The problem has aggravated as more and more Syrian refugees cross over from Turkey into the EU," the newspaper reported on Sunday, "The situation in cramped refugees camps in Greece is dramatic. German government fears that many of the migrants could try to get to Germany."
