A camerawoman in Hungary has been fired after video emerged apparently showing her kicking and deliberately tripping refugees - including a man running while carrying a child.
The incident took place on the Hungarian border with Serbia. The reporter works for Hungarian station N1TV.

The video was posted online by Stephan Richter, a German reporter for channel RTL.
A statement from the station said:
"An employee of N1TV today showed unacceptable behaviour at the Roszke collection point," the channel said in a statement.
"We have terminated the contract of the camerawoman with immediate effect today."
Editor-in-chief Szabolcs Kisberk said: "I believe we have done what we had to do in this situation. We don't understand how this could happen, it is shocking and unacceptable."
N1TV is a self-described station for "national issues".
Among its programme are a chat show hosted by the leader of the far-right anti-immigration opposition party Jobbik.
Hungary has forcefully opposed the arrival of refugees, building wire fences along its border. It has described the refugees as a threat to EU prosperity, particularly highlighting its concerns over allowing Muslims into the country.
Most refugees arriving in the country are moving on towards Germany or other EU countries.
Hungary's right-wing government has been vocal in its criticism of migrants attempting to reach other parts of Europe.
