#Austria's Kurz

Austria's conservative Chancellor Sebastian Kurz resigned on Saturday to pull his coalition government back from the brink of collapse after the junior party demanded his head because he has been placed under investigation on suspicion of corruption.

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz will push at a meeting of European leaders this weekend for rapid action on migration, he said on Wednesday, threatening to go it alone on creating asylum centers outside the bloc in the event of months-long paralysis.
