ABC NewsMail - Morning Edition

Good morning. Here's what's happening now:

  • Hungarian police fired tear gas and water cannon at asylum seekers who pulled down a wire fence at the flashpoint Roszke-Horogs border crossing

  • ABC correspondent Philip Williams: "This is what the whole immigration journey looks like right now. The idea of a cohesive approach to (the) crisis is really a very long way away."

  • In Canberra, deposed prime minister Tony Abbott says he's staying in parliament

  • A 14-year-old Muslim boy in Texas has been arrested the homemade clock he brought to school was mistaken for a bomb

  • And while a coffee with your morning news email is fine (really, it is), a nighttime cuppa could push your body clock into a different time zone.

Coming up: If you're an early opener of this mail, you can catch Bill Shorten on RN at 7.35am AEST. At 8.10am AEST, Philip Ruddock is on AM. At 8.30am AWST (10.30am AEST) Tanya Plibersek campaigns in Canning. At 10.00am AEST, Republican US presidential candidates hold another debate. Later today, the European Commission is due to announce if it will hold a summit to debate the ongoing asylum seeker crisis. And at 4.00am AEST on Friday, we'll hear whether the US will raise interest rates.

And finally: some of you said you'd prefer dot points in these summaries above the headlines. Does everyone else agree? Let us know via our Feedback page.
