see you back here tonight at 7:00. ♪ hello. i'm lauren taylor. this is the news hour live from london. coming up. chaos at the border. thousands of refugees are pushed back as they try to cross from greece into macedonia. two years on from the nuclear attacks that shocked the world. will justice ever come? tsipras has a deeping division. 25 members break away to form a new political group.

and is this property a steal? the $4 million home of leon trotsky with a few surprises. we have all the day's sports including athletico in beijing under the shadow of doping allegations. there have been scenes of chaos on the border between greece and macedonia as thousands of refugees try to make their way further north across europe. many are fleeing war in syria and iraq. they traveled through turkey and into greece. some of them making sure to journey by sea to avoid european borders. other countries have moved to harden their frontiers. in macedonia a state of emergency is in force and thousands of refugee spent last night in no-man's-land.

many moved through war-torn libya to reach the italian island. many more have died in the attempt. some continue their journey deeper into europe. this is the scene at cali at northern france, around 3,000 people have been camping there trying to cross the channel into the u.k. emma heyward has more on the situation in macedonia. >> reporter: they spent a cold night in notice no-man's-land waiting to cross the border between greece and macedonia, but their passage was blocked by riot police. rocks were thrown and then this. smoke filling the area with police using stun grenades to try and keep people out. in the ensuing chaos, there was panic. most refugees here have escaped conflict, and few would have expected this. >> they shoot us today.

i can't tell you. i see it. >> reporter: later, more frustration and fear as numbers build up at the border. it was open for a short time and then quickly closed again. leaving the crowd desperate to be allowed through. but the heat and the crush was too much for some. tens of thousands of people have crossed through macedonia's borders heading north during the last month. too many say the authorities who have declared a state of emergency in two border regions. the local train station is a transit point for many. most want to try to reach serbia, hungary, and then other parts of europe. while the border is still being so closely guarded, many have to stay and wait wherever they can on the greek side. >> there are hundreds of vulnerable persons, children, babies, other persons with extreme vulnerabilities

including medical needs. most of them, if not all of them, stay rough in the open air. we do appeal to the greek authorities to take all necessary measures to address the humanitarian needs of the person on the borderlines. >> reporter: macedonia says it will allow refugees to enter in numbers it can care for. by bolstering the borders it may create a backlog, a backlog of desperate men, women and children unsure where they can go next, knowing they can't go home. emma hayward, al jazeera. >> many of those trying to get into macedonia are from syria and iraq. as they push north, hundreds more arrive in greece prepared to make a similar journey. 200 mostly syrians arrived at the island on friday, and a ferry carrying around 2,000 refugees from syria stopped in

perez. many will try to head north through mass doan wra and seek asiel lum in austria, germany, britain or sweden. the international community is accused of not doing enough to bring it to an end. two years ago there was outrage when 1500 people were killed in a saren gas attack. they're still waiting for justice. you may find some images in her report upsetting. >> reporter: the dead and the dies. there was to blood on their bodies, no visible injuries. the attack was different than what syrians had seen before. rockets carrying chemicals landed in guta in the morning of august 21, 2013. >> translator: it took seconds before i lost my ability to breathe. i wasn't able to scream or breathe to alert my friends, so

i have to pound my chest really hard just to try to take a single breath. i felt like somebody was tearing up my chest with a knife. >> reporter: this 29-year-old survived, hundreds of others did not. two years later he has a you noo life in the united states, but he remembers that day clearly. >> it was a scene from judgment day. dozens of people, men, women, children running and falling on the ground, suffocating. the terror, the confusion. it was something unbearable. i just didn't know what to do. >> reporter: mohammed did. at the time he was a photographer working in syria and wanted to document the evidence of a crime he believed the world should see. >> i asked the doctor about what i need to know. so he showed me. he showed me the dark. the dark blue of the color that was changed. the eyes and that coming out

from the mouth. >> reporter: even though he has covered the war for many years, he can't forget what he saw that day. >> i'm a war photographer. to see a dead body with blood is normal. when you see them, you think like they are -- the first thing you think they were sleeping. then you realize after, like, one or two seconds the reality becomes faces what's going on. >> reporter: reality faced him years before. he was an activist in ghouta where he filmed the people. since the attack he has tried to raise awareness, even at the u.n. and u.s. congress but it's all in vain. >> honestly, i feel like i did nothing. i feel like after all this talking and all the people that i met, not just me but thousands of syrians here, we feel like there's no hope. >> reporter: the u.d. did conclude sarin gas was used and

they didn't have a mandate to blame anyone. there's a new resolution to investigate attacks but the attacks before 2013 won't be included. yet again, denying justice to the people of ghouta. 15 people have been killed in syrian government air-raids eastern eastern aleppo. medical sources say the planes targeted in the town in the countryside currently under isil control and is a regular target for government forces. author of syria neither bread nor freedom. he joins us on skype. so has anything changed, would you say, in the situation in syria? >> well, from the mental sense, no. the conflict rages. normal people suffer more and more caught in the middle. the biggest change, i guess, in the period since those chemical attacks you described is the

rise of islamic state, which has taken much of the eastern part of the country. it's very -- it's arguable that the fate of the west to intervene effectively after the chemical weapons attack actually created a vac coupuuvacuum, whi filled by the islamic state. the outlook is extremely grim. more than 250,000 syrians have died. the pre-conflict population was about 23 million. that's before 2011. of those, about 11 million are now displaced. 6.5 million internally, and the rest have become refugees. many trying to make their way to europe. >> on that point, the international governments are very anxious about the whole issue of refugees or migrants coming into their country. so you would think they would think that there's some foreign policy issue here that needs to be dealt with. for instance, perhaps sorting out the situation in syria. there was a flurry of activity after the iran nuclear deal,

which suggested there might be some movement to improve chances of a solution in syria. do you think anything has been built on that, or has that just gone away? >> well, the most recent development, the u.n. has approved -- the u.n. special envoy to syria has proposed that various factions should meet in september and try to get some common ground, but the reality is that the positions of the players, the armed players within syria are so entrenched. it's very difficult to be optimistic at all. >> in terms of getting help the there. >> as you know in recent days there was a ceasefire agreeced for certain conflict points in western damascus. the idea was there would be a truce that would last a few days

long enough to allow humanitarian aid in. it lasted a matter of hours, and then it collapsed. if even those local truces designed to allow humanitarian aid in failed in that way, again, it's very hard to be optimistic about the wider conflict. >> if you had to give advice and say there's one to make a difference, what would that be? >> honestly, it's impossible to give a short answer. the situation in syria is unbelievably complicated. numerous factions, many of them, the majority perhaps are unyielding in their positions, the islamic state on one side and the government of al assad on the other. it's extremely difficult to see a way through the minefield of the syrian conflicts. >> thank you very much indeed for talking to us.

let's bring you news from france now where a man with knives and firearms was overpowered on a train traveling from amsterdam to paris. the france interior ministry says he opened fire on the train around 1600 gmt. it's not clear what his motive was or how many were injured. the train was diverted to northern france, and the train operator said the passengers are safe and the situation is under control. we'll bring you more on that breaking news as soon as we get it. still ahead on al jazeera, why the u.n. is being forced to cut life-saving health programs for people in iraq. and details on how greece's main opposition party is trying to form a new government. plus in sports, find out if this formula one world title contender can get back on track ahead of the belgian race.

ishgs doctors without borders are reporting at least 65 people including 17 from the same family have been killed in saudi-led air strikes on the yemenese city. they hit civilian areas of the city and survivors are searching through the rubble for their relatives. the city has been under attack for weeks. this footage is from shelling on thursday. it's backed by the sawedly-led coalition and are trying to push houthi fighters out of the region. fighters have destroyed a 1,000--year-old monastery in syria. they demolished it with a large tractor 85 miles from homs. it included a syrian catholic church, once home to molgs who farmed the local countryside until the end of the 17th century. australia is considering a request from the u.s. to do air

strikes against isil in syria. the prime minister says there are legal issues around his country's involvement in syria, but he will consider the request carefully. a decision is expected in a few weeks' time. the iraqi ministry of defense claims it inflicted significant damage on isil in recent air strikes. it released video of iraqi fighter jets targeted isil hideouts in samarra. the strikes caused heavy losses in men and equipment. it's unclear when those air strikes were carried out. united nations has condemned the shutting down of some of iraq's life-saving medical services. last month around 80% of health programs provided by the u.n. and partners were forced to close. the reason? it wasn't able to raise the half a billion dollars required to fund services which it described as devastating and inexpoliceable. among those effects half a

million children that won't be immunized about diseases. we went to a hospital in baghdad to see how doctors are coping. >> reporter: at this hospital, this doctor doles out medical care and dispenses hard truths. >> this is a challenge living in a city with violence, daily violence. a city with -- living in a city with low infrastructure and trying our best to give the best to those patients is not easy. >> reporter: while this government-run facility is cleaner and better stocked than many other hospitals and clinics in iraq's capital, it's certainly not immune to the crisis spreading through a headlight care system here many consider decaying and diseased. the shortage of supplies and well-trained staff is nothing new in iraq, but things are getting worse. even storing medicines at the

right temperature is difficult. the medication stored inside here must be constantly refrigerated. that's why the cooling units have to keep working. during this record heatwave with so many power cuts, this hospital and others are relying on backup generators. back inside patients find that even on a relatively slow day wait times are long. >> translator: if i had a critical condition and needed immediate surgery, i'd have to wait a month to get my turn, and that's not practical at all. >> reporter: going to a private hospital would be far too expensive for this couple. the ministry of health isn't the only institution in the country struggling to deliver medical aid. the united nations recently announced a funding gap forcing 80% of front line health services in iraq to shut down. 1 million people are affected. >> it means all the kids that were going to be immunized won't be. all the pregnant women that

needed help during birth and before birth and after it, they're not going to receive that assistance. >> reporter: 3 million people are displaced inside iraq. >> it's painful. it hurts, and the people who need us the most right now, we're walking away from them. when you're in a clinic that yesterday was providing antibiotics and today is closed because we don't have the funding, you have nothing but shame. you're ashamed. >> reporter: another blow to a country whose people need more help but are receiving less and less. al jazeera, baghdad. returning to our top story now, the situation on the border between macedonia and greece. we're live on the greek side, and he joins us now. i gather things have calmed down a little bit, but tell us a little about the situation for those who are in that place behind you. >> reporter: yeah. people are getting ready for sleep because it's dark here

already. it's definite now that nobody will cross the border with macedonia this evening until 5:00 a.m. as you can see, maybe you can see behind me a lot of people already are prepared for their sleep, if they sleep at all, because many of them are sleeping outside without anything. they just have their backpacks they took with them, and sleeping out -- sleeping on the ground. we counted only a few tents behind me, maybe at least ten tents that people managed to find by themselves, because the greek authorities didn't provide any kind of help for these people. the border will be re-opened tomorrow at 5:00 a.m. the macedonian police announced that, and people -- many of them are hoping that they would get -- that they will press through the border early in the morning and continue their journey to macedonia.

>> and what about the situation -- you mentioned the lack of sleeping accommodations. what about things like food and water? >> reporter: people are managing by themselves. as i said, greek authorities didn't provide anything for them. we saw a lot of volunteers trying to help the people bringing them fruits, food, water, and everything they needed at this moment, but there is a lack of personnel and people. there are more than 3,000 people. it's impossible without the medical organization to help these people. so they're doing it by themselves as much as they can, and another problem showed up just a few minutes ago. we can say they're definitely not born under the lucky star, as they don't have enough of their own problems, the light rain started to arrive now. the forecast for tonight is

scattered rain. so it's going to be a really hard night for them. >> okay, thank you very much indeed. greece's main opposition party is trying to form a new government. after the resignation of prime minister tsipras on thursday after he called for new elections. more than 20 members of the ruling party have announced they're forming a new party. john reports from athens. >> reporter: the notion of a second election in a year apiles to supporters of prime minister alexis tsipras. >> reporter: maybe tsipras will be able to go up alone and do better. we expected a different deal, but he tried very hard. >> reporter: most greeks, however, want more stability. >> translator: it's a bad idea. we're voting every six months. that suggests something deeply wrong with the political system and especially affects those of us who are unemployed.

we believed in tsipras. he did not stick to his promises, and if a politician can't do that, it's better if he doesn't stand. >> reporter: seven months of negotiations resulted in a third bailout loan, accompanied by strict austerity measures. the long period of time of uncertainty allow the economy to slide back into recession dpiet an outlook for growth in year. this antiques dealer felt the brunt of the eight-year recession. he used to count the rich and famous among his 800 clients. he gave up his business and locked his valuables in cellars. >> reporter: tsipras is trying to sdap. they promised much and delivered nothing. did they bring one euro of the embattled millions back? they said they would abolish the property tax and tear up the austerity deal. they did none of it, and then they did as they were told.

>> reporter: tsipras's resignation has been released. they have formed popular unity. the conservatives want to break off those that lie nearly in the center. pro-awe austerity parties control 106 seats far shot of the 151 one they need cover. they plan to invite moderate mps to join them in a coalition to include a prime minister other than mr. tsipras. the venture seems ambitious. cities rose from single digits to rule greece in a few years. those who wanted to return to the leftist routes both now want it to unravel even faster. greek politics are personality orient oriented. while the apeople lasts, they're

unlikely to succeed. tensions are building between north and south korea after an exchange of fire across the border on thursday. north korea's leader kim jong-un order z hi front line troops to be on a war footing as the south refused to top broadcasting the broadcasts. they have until saturday to stop it or face military action. >> reporter: south korea's president visited the military command post on friday flanked by his security advisers, defense minister and senior military commanders. the messages being conveyed with command of the situation as they engage in a sporadic military face-offs. >> translator: the military should be a lead for further provocations. if the situation occurs, take action first and then report later. >> reporter: it followed a late night meeting of the north korean ruling party commission in which kim jong-un ordered

front lines area into a quasi--war state and to have surprise attacks against the south. >> translator: the general staff of the corrinian party send an ultimatum saying the korean people's army would launch action unless they stop broadcasting towards the north in 24 hours. these loud speaker raise are the source of the warfare. they restarted it nearly two weeks ago for the first time in 11 years. it was in response to what happened earlier this month on the southern side of the demilitarized zone. northern forces planted land mines that maimed two soldiers. the village lies just a few kilometers south of the border. it's the closest civilian area where the first north korea projectiled on thursday. at one point thousands were told to leave their homes, and only

here is the advisory still in place. >> translator: north korea's provocation is likely to continue, to we advice residents to stay in shelter. some went out to carry out their daily business, but we will advice them to come back to the shelter this evening. >> inside it's the elderly and young that stayed behind. >> translator: living in this area i've seen many drills and heard explosions. this time the sound was louder, and there was an announcement asking us to evacuate compared to the past i'm more concerned. >> reporter: seeking refuj in this shelter is unability. just last year a shell fell right here. they were firing propoganda-gathering balloons. this team residents have the added preoccupation of a deadline ticking down. south korea says if a military strike follows, it will counterattack strongly. harry fossett, al jazeera, south

new orleans. >> our big take away is new orleans is on a good track, but the job is not done here. >> techknow investigates 10 years after katrina. the top stories here on al jazeera. three people have been injured, two of them seriously after a gunman opened fire on a train from amsterdam to paris. the government was overpowered and it's not clear what the motive for the shooting was. the train was diverted. the train operator says the p j passengers are safe and the situation is under control. hundreds of refugees rushed macedonia border to attempt to enter the country from greece. the u.n. is urging both countrying to tackle a

has been sworn in for a fourth time. they saw the formation of a national coalition that govrnls with the majority informant government's parliament. we have the report. >> reporter: come back on friday and he took the oath of office as sri lanka's prime minister. it's full-time to serve in the position. the highest number of votes of any canadas candidate he sieved. he put together a coalition to bring on the former president, ending his bid for a third term as executive president in january and defeating his alliance in parliamentary elections held earlier in week. but in his first media statement, the prime minister stressed the importance of political cooperation. >> we discussed with the president the need to take this

concept forward where we all build a consensus around national policies. this new approach, the literary approach as we call it, requires all parties to work together either in the garden or ministerially positions or parliament. >> reporter: they say it one 106 of the 225 parliamentary seats, seven short of the majority. but an agreement with the preside president's sir lankian party will give thim authority. they were former bitter rivals. >> sri lanka faces a number of challenges in the future on the economic front with regard to reconciliation, accountability. so in that respect it's important that there is a consensus, and that one builds on that consensus and carrying

the people with one. >> reporter: they promise to continue a modernization process that included changes to the country's constitution in april. with a record fourth term as prime minister of sri lanka, he has his work cut out. the country's emerging from 30 years of conflict and has a host of issues which he says he's confident of dealing with. with the president on his side and a pledge to build consensus on national policies, analysts say the cards for now appear to be stacked in his favor. a new medical study from canada is casting doubt on the effectsiveness of aggressive early interventions to stop breast cancer. the paper says treatments like mastecto mastectomy, removing the entire breast, have no effect on whether the patient is alive a decade later. more than 100,000 women were surveyed, and the stud concluded that a lumpectomy is just as effective. the film starring angelina jolie

is one of many women worldwide had breasts removed as a precaution against breast cancer. we'll speak to the man that led the study, the senior scientist at the women's carnegie institute. he joins us live from canada. tell us how your study seemed to bring up new information about the early stages of breast cancer? >> well, we actually studied stage 0 breast cancer, which has in the past been rare and thought to be a precursor region. with the advent of screening becoming widespread over the past 20 years, we see more and more diagnoses. in fact, about 25% of breast cancers are now at sage zero. so the united states began to collect information on these women. how they treated and how they presented and what was their course of did they live or die.

we were able to process information about 100,000 women, and we found out over the course of the study about 900 of them had died of breast cancer, even though this was considered to be an early lesion or a precursor lesion, information, 3% died of what looked like breast cancer. to some extent that's good news. a 97% curate is really good. it's a laudable goal. on the other hand, some did die, and we believe the ones that di died, the cancer had spread across the breast at the time the surgeon intervened, even though it was half a centimeter in size. we compared three different treatments. about half the women had a lumpectomy, breast cancer remov removed plus radio therapy. about a quarter of the women had the lumpectomy alone and about a quarter had a mastectomy or the

entire breast was removed. so 25% of the women had the most basic treatment, clfs which was just a lumpectomy. they did just as well in terms of survival either with the addition of radio therapy, which is pretty much 25 sessions with the radiation radiotherapist or an entire breast removed. regardless of the treatment, those who had more aggressive treatment in the terms of radio therapy or mastectomy didn't do any better in terms of survival. >> can you extrapolate for this -- >> although the survival was generally good. >> is it partly you find out information about something, and people feel a need to take action on when, in fact, things might evolve in a different way that might keep them safe? it's presumably quite difficult to roll back on treatments because doctors like to prescribe them. patients then want to ask for

them. are you suggesting that sometimes the best way of action is no action? >> no, i didn't say that, but your point is very well taken. i think the question that this raises in terms of treating or not treats is more at the level of screening. these cancers are very small and not felt by the patient or the doctor. the majority are identified through mammogram screening programs. as i say were introduced in the past 20, 30 years. by introducing the screening programs, we've identified all the cancers. whether one wanted to make a decision, i think once a woman has cancer, it's quite clear she needs to be treated and the karn has to be removed surgically. i think one of the questions raised is bloo we should be thinking of rolling back on the age of intensity of mammogram screening in the first place. >> thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us. evacuation orders have been

given for parts of the u.s. the army has been called in to help firefighters battling wildfires in northwestern america. three firefighters died battling a blaze in washington state. four others were injured. crews from canada, australia and new zealand have been called in to help. over in california wildfires continue to ravage parts of the state. fire officials say around 250 firefighters are battling one blaze and contained 45% of the fire. more than 1,000 hectares of land have already been destroyed. ecuador's government has banned journalists from reporting on a volcano that has erupted for the first time in more than 70 years. it's considered to be one of the most dangerous volcanos in the world. as marian that sanchez, journalists say the ban is one of many restrictions on press freedom in ecuador. >> translator: after 31 years in a news program, he says he now

watching every word he says on air afraid his radio station will be fined by the government says his son. >> translator: if the government disagrees with our content, we have to publish a rectification exactly as we send it to us with their view. that includes saying weerp all liars. >> the station could even lose its operating license given by the government if they anger president rafael correa. >> translator: they're shameless, sick clowns, psychopaths and manipulative and dishonest. >> he doesn't trust the private media and constantly lashes out against it. a private tv station has eliminated investigative reports on corruption to avoid the president's criticism and to prevent punishment. >> translator: there's censorship applied through the

law. it's not that you violate the law and are punished. you are punished even if you don't violate the law, and telling the truth doesn't exonerate you from penalties. >> reporter: since its creation, the law has gone after and fined 143 news organizations, only one of them is public, and the rest are private. any information aired or published is subject to scrutiny by a panel named by the government. joanna ta si directs a government sponsored radio station. she says the private media responds to private interests. the end game is to make journallingist responsible. >> translator: there isn't any persecution. obviously the private media dislikes that control over content. the law doesn't prohibit publishing information, but you have to do it well. >> reporter: critics say the americas law doesn't improve the quality of journalism.

instead, they saw community radios and install newspapers are disappearing or being used as propaganda tools by the government. the fines imposed on investigative magazines and newspapers forgsed them to close. journalists say the new regulations mean their outlets can be discredited or immediately punished even if they can prove they're telling the truth. defense lawyers in raasch ya lost an appeal to transfer the trial of a captured ukrainian pilot to moscow. he was captured by separatests in eastern ukraine in june of last year. she's accused of killing two russian television personalities, charges she denies. her lawyers want the trial moved to moscow. they believe it would increase the chances of a fair trail with better access for international observers and journalists, but the court has rejected the move. police in denmark have
