>> desperate journeys in serbia. thousands of refugees leave macedonia continuing their search for a new life in europe. >> coming up in this program, stock markets falling, in fears over the chinese slow down and falling commodity prices. anti-government protests say that violence in nepal, eight people have been killed.

>> in kuala lumpur where an ancient river is getting a new lease at life. >> well, as we go on, long lines of refugees are trekking through southern serbia by foot before jumping on trains and buses north to hungary. austria is calling for a new strategy, calling it a humanitarian disaster. al jazeera is on the serbian side of that border with macedonia. >> i saw actually one camp, which is roughly one kilometer mind me. which is being guarded by the police, but i have not seen any bashed wire, i haven't seen any kind of tensions between roughly around 100 serbian police officers and border police. several hundred migrants.

those people are gathered at that location, and then taken on foot to the location behind me. you see a bus coming this way, and these buss are taking and shipping these refugees and illegal migrants from this place to a town five kilometers north from here. i've seen a number of happy faces. they're happy because they crossed another hurdle on their trip towards the e.u. they feel that the macedonia is behind them, that that horrible ordeal which happened a couple of years ago at the macedonian macedonian-greek border is behind them. they feel that between them and the e.u. there is only one more border ahead, that is a very good sign for them, and they're

happy for that. >> on the merchandise downan side of the border with greece i think we can see behind you, andrew, some kind of antiquated reception center, given the numbers that are coming through, it doesn't account for much, does it? >> it doesn't, but it is serving as a fast track way of getting the refugees on board, trains, and, indeed, buses nearby very quickly. there aren't many refugees behind me. in fact, only around something like 100 or so. it has to be said there are a fast number of--a fair number another 200 to 300, and you may see them behind me as they arrive on their way. they will be hoffed on by a train arriving not so far away right about an hour away, and also buses, large numbers of

them. so the macedonian government is moving at a very rapid rate of these refugees out of the country. these are new developments because they're under domestic political pressure to get the refugees out of here. this is not a humanitarian situation, it is a logistical one. in the heat of macedonia's border with greece the pathway for rages may be fully open again. the only confrontation are michael scuffl scuffle--minor scuffles. macedonia's interior minister came to a makeshift reception center to defend the decision to close the border. here too a foreign minister talking about what the european union was or wasn't doing about the situation right now. in the brief time they spent with refugee, an oil engineer

from syria wanted to get a word in. >> to solve this problem for syrian refugee why then make on interior. >> europe's youngest mornin foreign minister did not have an answer. they blamed greece and said that they had no control or security on their border. >> our intention was not to close the border but to protect it. >> this was confrontation with refugees. >> in humanitarian terms surely it was a disaster. >> our efforts were motivated by the humanitarian situation. >> it hopes of default of greece if there is no support for the refugees there. >> what are you going to do apart from blaming greece? >> we have a meeting with all the countries, but also with germany and commissioners from the european union. >> but those words have been heard before, and the fact is that little changes for these people apart from a speed of

bordering trains like this one. away from people in cities and towns of macedonia. and so as the political talking goes on in berlin, brussels, and other european capitals, the reality here is that after the violence on this border there is a primitive reception center. refugees have quickly moved on, and it will unyou doubtedly lead to more coming on the route leaving the crisis further up the line. >> it's pretty rough to see politicians pointing the fingers at one another with seemingly absolutely no idea with what to do next, and no kind of joined up policy here. >> well, you're right, david, it's chaos. look, there is a line here. there are lines coming from all directions right now over here as well, if i just move over

just to show you this is now very ordinarily compared to how it was two or three days ago which resulted in some violence. but really, it is a situation where, as i said earlier, the politicians here are not thinking about the humanitarianism, they're thinking about getting these people out of here. and they're in a terrible state. absolutely awful conditions. there is not a lot here. they have some facilities you can see some water being delivered. it's getting better, but it's still completely inadequate, the scale of the problem. and it doesn't seem to be that--well, you couldn't think that there was a political are to help these people by looking at it. so what up here are politicians really blaming greece for a whole variety of issues, not blaming themselves, defending themselves for using violence against the refugees on the border, and then pushing the problem up the line.

of course, it will go all the way to e.u. states. there is bound to be more political debate and political anger about the lack of security and lack of humanitarian help for these people when they arrive in france, in germany, and in other european states. so it is a situation that desperately needs a re-think, and some real action on the ground, david. >> andrew, thank you very much, indeed, andrew simmons there. we're going to bring that to the unhcr assistant high commissioner for protection. joining us from unhcr headquarters in geneva. a complete rethink. our correspondent said that the message he gives to a lot of people, but what kind ofry think is needed? >> well, obviously we need a very comprehensive approach to address the situation. we need first of all a lot of support for the neighboring countries of syria. we have over 4 million syrian refugees in lebanon, turkey,

jordan, egypt and in iraq and in a number of other countries. it is clear that they require as much support as we can possibly give them. we need to give support to greece. greece over the last couple of months has received over 160,000 refugees that have crossed the mediterranean. we require support for the western balkans for countries like macedonia and serbia in order to voi offer food, water, shelter, all the things that we've seen on these dramatic footage. >> what is happening as andrew simmons said, people just want to get these refugees out of their countries as quickly as possible. nobody has seem to come up with a proper plan, something that as you put it is comprehensive. what do you make of the e.u.

response here? >> well, there is an european migration agenda. agenda migration that was discussed over a couple of months ago. we very much hope that there would be very robust implementation. the agenda brings more relocation from within the european union. this is done on a voluntary basis, and we require much bigger numbers. we hope that in the discussions that are going to take place in the next couple of place that, indeed, there is a much more robust way of implementing this migration agenda for the whole of europe. >> forgive me, you're talking like a diplomat, like a politician, a robust implementation, your hopes about this, your hopes about that, but there is a human being piano. what are your real feelings by the way these people have been let down?

>> well, obviously we're on the ground. our teams are on the ground. we have all talked to refugees who are on the move. we're extremely concerned about their plight. we try as much as we can to provide support and assistance, we provide food, water and shelter, but you have the responsibility of european states first and foremost. we work in the worst crisis situation and the world. we hardly have the funding to even work in the neighboring countries in sire i can't an syria and south sudan. when it comes to bring the sol dare measures for people. >> when it comes to the bigger picture, what are the consequences of those who don't get it right, and what are the personal consequences for those

who march across europe if those countries don't do something positively and quickly. >> to give you one example a lot of people that we talk to tell us that they would like to reunite with family members in different european countries. there are a number of european countries, who unfortunately, have not eased the requirement for family reunification but made them much more rigid. which means that people vote with their feet. they move in order to find their family members in different european countries. it's absolutely clear that what we require is strong action, for instance, and this could take away one of the reasons why we see these movements, that family reunification is facilitated and eased so family members can move legally and don't have to go through difficult and horrible situation as they're going through now. >> we thank you. from the united nations' high commission for refugees. appreciate your time.

>> stock market worldwide have been tumbling as china's economy continues to slow down and it's made index, the shanghai has suffered a major overnight slump, 8.5%, the worst end of trading since 2007. and from june of 2014, that's just over a year ago. to this june, the hang shy composite was on the rise of 140%. since then it has gone down another 38%. now last week beijing tried to put this all right by lying an state owned pension fun to invest billions of dollars in stocks for the first time. it didn't work. china's economic slow down is contributing to the fall of of the price of commodities such as oil, copper, they don't need them any more. and they're the lowest level in seven years.

two major mining firms say that they would axe 12,000 jobs. half of them in south africa. after china crash, other markets did something similar. the u.s. and dow jones dropping 2,000 points, and now gabriel elizondo from the new york stock exchange, bring us the latest on what the position is there, and then we'll talk about the bigger picture gain. >> as you mentioned, david, it was a huge drop this morning when the markets opened with the dow dropping over 1,000 points, a historic drop. the sky was really falling, if you will, at the stock exchange. with a look a the big board it's now down 230, it has made up 80% of the losses from this morning, so some things are calmer here on the trading floor as you might imagine. but clearly this is what most analysts are talking to, telling

us this is a correction, a matter of short-term or longe long long-term correction here. now the chinese economy is much different now than before. >> we have to leave through. other pressing matters. we'll be back later. that is gabriel elizondo in new york. still to come on this program, a father mourning the death of his teenage son who was beaten to death in bangladesh. distressing images, we warn, in our report coming up. plus... >> i'm in northern argentina where farmers protesting hearsay that the government policies are making it impossible for them to grow their crops.

>> watching al jazeera, these are the top stories. the united nations said 7,000 refugees have been streaming into serbia from macedonia since saturday. france and germany said that there must be an unified response to the refugee crisis after a meeting in berlin. a lot of selling on wall street as investors give concerns about chinese investors economy. a video of a disabled boy being beaten to death has gone viral and provoked public anger and protest. ten of the 13 accused of killing the boy is now behind bars in bangladesh. arrest warrants have been issued for the remaining three who are reportedly on the run. we have reports from northeast

bangladesh where the attack took place, and a warning that you may find some of the pictures in his report extremely disturbing. >> the pictures continue to haunt this father as he campaigns for justice. he said his son, who suffered from mental and physical disabilities, would never steal anything. but an angry mob thought otherwise. [ boy sobbing ] >> they killed him and then glowed about it. the for a of the murder was posted online by the culprits themselves. they bragged that they had caught the thief. >> we're poor so, he used to help out family by selling vegetables. that mean his mother called and said my boy had not come home. i panicked straight away. >> this is the roadside market where the attackers caught him and tied him up to this pillar. it was early in the morning, but

there were still people passing by, so they took him to this garage at the back. where they beat him to death. [ sobbing ] >> passersby did nothing to stop the assault. the murder is provoking international outrage because the video has gone viral. bangladeshys usually ignore public lynchings, which are common here. many victims were in the wrong place at the wrong time. >> me and six of my friends were hanging out in the evening near a bridge when men with flashlights came up to us and told us they were looking for robbers. we told them we were students, but they started hitting us. all my friends died. >> mob beatings have a sign of people's lack of faith in the justice system. the police say incidents are rare, and they're working to stop them.

>> such measures will bring little peace to this father. with police presenting charges to suspects this monday, all he wants is to his his son's killers punished for taking away his cherished son. al jazeera, bangladesh. >> eight people have died as protesters clash with police in nepal. it was in a town 400 kilometers west of kathmandu. the government said that it's sending additional security forces to the region. the protesters from the ethnic group want a separate state and a new constitution, which is now being finalized in the constituent assembly. let's go to kathmandu, is this purely and simply about changes in the constitution that small

groups such as what i've mentioned feel that they'll leave them at a disadvantage and trying to get anything changed for the better for their people? >> well, this particular group, they're a very marginalized community. they're an indigenous community, and for a very long time they've felt they've been wronged, and they've been demanding a separate state in the region. but at the same time in the same region the other communities do not want the area to be divided at all. so the conflict has been brewing for a very long time. but other communities across the southern belt have been protesting against what they say is an arrest by tear kind of demarcation, and they're very upset. but this level of violence was unprecedented, and nobody

expected that police would be linked the way they did. and several policemen would die. and there have been reports that more than 40 people are injured in the area. >> what is going to happen if they send in extra forces to quell this. this is 400 kilometers away, are you able to find out on a minute by minute basis what is happening there? >> what we know is that the army has been deployed. it's not very clear what will

happen next. we shall see how it turns out. >> thank you. in iraq 15 isil fighters have apparently been killed by security forces in ramadi, that is in anbar province. three police also died. in a separate attack. three car bombs targeting iraqi soldiers killing 18 people. well, iraqi forces have been placing strong resistence from isil in the battle for ramadi. sunni volunteers and the iraqi army have been leading that fight, but shia fighters have been kept back from the front line. >> a newly formed force made up of thousands of iraqi soldiers and sunni volunteers have been trying to advance into the isil controlled city of ramadi. many of them received u.s. training. the defense minister, hyder al abadi was in a defiant mood, but the reality on the ground

has been different. dozens of his men have been killed in am bushes in recent days. it is proving to be a difficult fight. this battle is an important test for the government, whose army and police units abandoned their positions when isil entered anbar's pro vince capital in may. washington has reportedly asked prime minister haider al-abadi not to use shia militiamen to secure sunni territories to avoid worsening secretary tear worseening secretaryworsen secretarsectarian tensions. >> some embassies should review their positions. we won't allow anyone to interview with our internal affairs. this is a red line. >> an influence man, he has been leading the fight against isil. his brigade is the strongest

militia in the popular mobilization forces. he also belongs to a political party that has a strong presence in parliament. >> he's the number one man in the popular mobilization forces. and prime minister abady and not everyone else can marginalize him. the u.s. is worrying about its strengths, especially in the post isil phase. it wants to contain its power and numbers. >> but the militias have become stronger than the state and the army. the popular mobilization forces is believed to number around 100,000 men. they were given official status by the government, which pays some of their salaries. they have largely replaced the army and the provinces and even here in baghdad, and thousands of it's forces ar forces are in anbar. the newly trained troops are in ramadi, but they continue to

rely on shia forces on other strongholds, the city of fallujah and along the supply route. it is expected to be a long fight. >> powers in argentina are threatening a five-day strike over a controversial export tax. they say they can't forward growing their crops unless their government does something to help them. we're in argentina where the anger is spilling out on the streets. >> back on the road. these farmers in the northern province, their demands have gone unheeded for years. they say that they're in an economic crisis. >> we're here because our production in the northern part of argentina is a terminal disease. it's not viable. the next year there won't be any crops in this part of the

country. >> a farmer here for decades. he took us to his ranch. he said that the situation is so complicated that many in the area are thinking of selling their land. >> this is terrible. not to have this land with crops. the humidity is the right one, but we have to spend a lot of money, and it's not that easy. >> he said that the big problem is the exchange rate with the u.s. dollar. in argentina there is an official rate and a local rate. >> in the case of the soybean we have to pay a 35% export tax. of that value we get paid 60% less than the real dollar, so we pay 5 35% plus another 30%, and it's impossible. >> that is why they have put up roadblocks for a third week. the local government has granted tax exemptions. what makes the situation worse

for them is that the closest port is over 1,000 kilometers away. that's why many have decided not to sell their crops because the freight is so expensive that they cannot afford it. across northern argentina farmers are making similar demands. in since the center left government has imposed an export tax on crops there has been constant tension with the farming sector. the cos crops of soybean has fallen in the last year. >> since 2008 the government has taken the farming sector as an enemy. the former president said that he wanted to put us on our knees, and that message is still in place. >> presidential elections are two months away. the government said that this isn't the right time for a strike. farmers here think differently, and say that they will block the roads until at least some of their demands are met. al jazeera, argentina.
