Speculation has been rife that the country is ushering in thousands of migrants via Cologne Bonn Airport, fuelled by the fact every night numerous planes from Turkey are landing.

Led by Chancellor Angela Merkel, the European country has agreed to take in 28,600 migrants under various agreements.

Of this figure, 27,000 - out of 160,000 - will arrive in the country from Italy and Greece.

In a second agreement between Turkey and EU, 18,000 migrants from Syria will be distributed across the continent, with Germany’s share of the total standing at 1,600.
