♪ hello again, the top stories on al jazeera, julius on trial in south africa for corruption racketeering and money laundering former youth leader and critic of president zuma say the charges are politically motivated. u.s. secretary of state in qatar where they are discussing security issues and john carry

is expected to try to ease arab fears over the nuclear deal with regional rival iran and prayer vigils held in israel for the teenage stabbed to death at a gay pride parade and what prime minister benjamin netanyahu talks about. it is struggling to cope with around 5,000 migrants in the port of kellie and britain's prime minister cameron has security measures but wants eu and france to do more and we report from a migrant camp known as the jungle that has sprung up on the outskirts of cali. >> while they argue how to deal with the crisis the conditions in this camp continue to deteriorate with more and more people coming here all the time. now, everybody we have spoken to

is too afraid to go on camera. they do not want to be identified but when you ask them why this is so important for them to get to the uk they all say similar things and they include this perception that immigration policy in the uk is easier than it is in ureurope and easier for them to find a job and wages better and want to be part of an english language and english culture and also say they will continue despite the risks to try and jump some of these fences get in that tunnel and start what they see as being a better life. >> let's go on expert view who is an expert in live via skypes and they are supposed to claim asylum in the first country they arrive in, in europe. how come so many of them came ashore in southern europe on the

mediterranean and now in cali in the north? >> good question. you are absolutely right. in the eu member states and people who want to go to the right within an eu state that is where the claim should happen and there are problems going on here. i think one of the key issues is that when people are entering the european union there is clearly who are seeking asylum are clearly not making it right there and are waiting until they get to the state they want and in this case going to the uk so a lot of these people would not have started meeting in the uk and allowed to in a sense to go across the eu to get to where they are now. >> why is that? is their situation illegal to the point they claim asylum? why aren't the french for instance picking them up if they

are indeed illegal and why are they being able to pass through france? >> very good question. i think that however the answer to this is it would be very expensive and involve a lot of people and french security personnel going through this place called the jungle where there are a couple thousand people desperately trying to get to the uk on all accounts and trying to leave france. so there is a potential for flare-up and has been flare-ups before when they tried to clear previous camps and don't want to take on that pain and cost but they think it's britain that should be bearing this and they point the figure back at france and say this is not our problem about people trying to come to the uk. these are people who are illegally in france illegally in the european union and it's in a sense france's problem. i think what they should both be doing is stop pointing the finger at each other and start working with the eu counterparts

and think it's more of an eu problem than it is a local problem. >> so i mean, tom, the british prime minister called on the french to put it more fencing which he said he will pay and that is not exactly helpful. how do you tackle this problem? do you start first of all discouraging people from making the journey in the first play? >> possibly, i agree making a fence higher and the prime minister talked about sending some super dogs i don't think that is really going to do anything but maybe inflame the situation much further and also it's too little, too late and probably could be something a bit more done on discouraging people for making the journey so in your report he rightly notes a lot of people have a perception how much easier life might be in the uk but the facts are that they have much better

benefits as asylum seekers and work prospect actually. if he was interested on the continent thing rather than to the uk. so part of it is a perception problem but i think the other underlying factor is very simple it's many of the people we have talked to speak english and i think the english language is a real attraction to the uk. a lot of people you talk about in the camps come from countries that have been or the common wealth and need to go back to britain for that reason. >> good to talk to you and tom brooks from the university of duram, apologies for the intermittent sound on that line. now, soldiers in northern nigeria rescued 178 people held by fighters and most are children and they very south here which is the largest city in borno state, a commander was

not effected by boko haram directly but also contributed truce to fight boko haram insurgency in the north of nigeria and other parts of the neighboring countries because it sees boko haram not only a chad and ruling threat but regional threat and as we discuss there is trying to stop boko haram and collaborations between these two groups is very very much in the play as this is contrary to what was there before during the previous administration. the greek stock market has crashed. i think it's safe to call it that and fallen by over 20 percent after resoaping for the first time in weeks and four shares in the banks were down to a third and the stock market was closed in june when capitol controls were imposed because of the greek debt crisis. now, in london's cross rail runs in 2018 it will carry more than 200 million people a year on one

of the most advanced rail way lines ever built and we have been down the tunnels to take a look. >> reporter: it's taken 10,000 workers more than six years but now london's under ground train tunnels are almost ready for their rails and a depth of 40 meters they weave 21 miles at the heart of the city. >> is the biggest challenge is contracting this in an area of london with dense infrastructure and this is on stage and the alignments have to be decided with vertical alignment to avoid interruption with existing foundations or existing tunnels. eight laser-guided machines removed more than 7 million tons of earth. the walls of the tunnels were then sealed using 200,000
