> announcer: this is al jazeera. hello, welcome to the newshour. i'm jane dutton. hungarian police fire tear gas at refugees as they consider using the army to frelent the boarders. >> also coming up, south sudan's president expected to sign a peace deal with rebel forces in juba

a volatile day for the asian stock markets. >> i'm tim glasby -- jennifer class in kabul. wrp they are raising awareness police in hungry fired tear gas to adequately unrift at the main refugee protest center. the government is considering using the army to secure the borders. it said it will send more than 2,000 police to control the situation. thousands of people are crossing into the country from serbia. hungary is part of the europe shiang zone, allowing for passport free travel. each day more than 2,000 refugees arriving in the country, so far this year hungary registered 100,000 migrants. compare that to the whole of 2014, refugees - registering

43,000. in 2012 that number was 2000. the government is building a razor wire fence along the southern border with serbia. so far it has not stopped people coming across. many. refugees arriving in hungary are coming from macedonia and serbia. andrew simmonds joins us. i'm wondering if the refugees heard the news that police are considering, or the government is considering sending in the army. is it going to stop them or make the journey harder. >> that is the right question. they have not heard yet, they are concerned. we have been speak toing some of the refugees -- speaking to some of the refugees from syria. this is a large camp, a park in the center of the serbian capital. and the people here have not

heard yet any word of the latest situation in hungary, and they are very worried. i was speaking to a woman from aleppo a short time ago and she was asking what is happening there, this is before the reports came through about tear gas being fired in roche ka center. now, what the people here are doing is really preparing for what is effectively the last leg of their journey to the european union. as you pointed out, hungary is in the shang agreement, which means there'll be passport free travel. the problem with this outbreak of violence was that people don't want to be fingerprinted, and apparently according to the reports, there was a large group of people told that they have to give their fingerprints. that means that is the point whereby an asylum application is made. so they can't leave that

country. what the people want to do is move on from hungary to more affluent dates such as germany, holland, the u.k., france and what happened is that there was a rump us and the police apparently opened fire with tear gas. what also is the case is that it coincides with the announcement that 2,100 police will join 1,000 already on the border to reearn force it. because the numbers are getting so pig in terms of the bottle neck. we have been following the refugees along the gaol. and we were in the serbian, macedonian border, and you could see the vast numbers, get a feel for the magnitude of the this crisis. >> reporter: by the day numbers are harder to digest.

here in the one-stop center, an entrance to serbia from macedonia, more than 10,000 passed through in less than five days. further up the line at serbia's border with hungary, an e.u. member state, more than 2,000 a day are arriving. the number registered in hungary this year passed 100,000, compared with 43,000 in the whole of last year. the numbers are staggering. so, too, is the inability of the european union to come up with a coherent strategy in sharing the responsibility of helping refugees. >> it's chaotic registration centers such as this that are reakkt worrying european union leaders. little in the way of security checks. 72 hour visas being issued, and we'll look at the numbers, they are extraordinary. it is more complicated.

germany predicts it deals with 800 asylum seekers applications this year, and wants a fairer system of quotas for member states to take in refugees. what is more, the e.u. wants a tougher policy to turn back people that are categorized as economic migrants. in northern serbia on the trail to cross into hungary, most of these people are refugees from syria, and are frightened about what is ahead. my mother is there. we don't know what's happened in hungary. >> we are very worried because we have heard a lot of news that it is in hungary, that they are hitting people. >> hungary is going to become a bigger pressure point in the crisis, and the government is

criticizing the e.u. for not giving it enough money to cope with a record number of people intending to across the boarder with serbia . >> the latest we are hearing at the center, is that the violence has died down, that 300 to 400 people were penned in by the police, and the police were using loud hailers to address them. one of the problems is the language often here, in that the english is used which both sides have problems with, both the security forces and the refugees. but this border, this 175km border has razor wire being put down now, and there's three or four days away before they finish the project. it's been inadequate. partly because of the rail line going right the way through, which they can't wire off, and people are walking down that rail line to get across the

border. >> thank you for that. earlier i speak to the u.n.'s refugee agency in the hungarian capital. i began asking him if the use of armed forces to deal with the refugee crisis would be effective. >> there were different reports from a few days, but what we have seen since last day is that the numbers are coming in. these are refugees, women, children, family. when i talked to my colleagues, monitoring the situation, they were saying that over 1500 have come in. there were some desperate people who came across and begged that others can just cannot come to -- continue the journey, because they are tired and exhausted. we are looking for a human approach from the government in the e.u. okay, you talk about those enormous numbers, and from the u.n.h.c.r., melissa flemming has been quoted that it's vital that

human rights and dignity be respected. surely for a country to do that they need resources, an e.u. policy to protect them. how is it fair on the countries to do that? >> indeed. in the history books, probably europe's treatment of the small proportion of refugees, crossing at the doors, a record displacement will be remembered around the world, at claims of high standards of human rights will be judged based on treatment. as i said, we are looking for a human treatment. no country can deal with this issue collectively. it's clear, this is a refugee population on the move. people i have met on the border come from serbia and hungarian border is coming from syria. there it's iraq and afghanistan.

how they want to treat the people? it's not a single country's issue, and they shouldn't be left dealing with it on their own. >> how will they deal with it. doesn't seem like it will stop soon. numbers will keep arriving. it calls for an e.u. policy, what does it look like, when will it happen? >> it should happen soon. these people, when you talk to them at the border, you want a minute's wait in terms of proper reception, it's too much. it's desperate, tired, exhaustion. they cannot continue. the question they ask is where are the humanity in europe. we keep searching for that. it has to come sooner than later. these are desperate people, refugees on the run. trying to save their lives. south sudan's president salva kiir is under international pressure to sign a

deal. regional leaders are hoping to sign an agreement. they are threatening sanctions if pen is not put to paper. we talk to our correspondent. but this report from gabriel elizonda, who is at the united nations. >> reporter: if south sudan's president backs out of the peace deal the united nations says it will acts, and do so quickly. that's a message from the u.n. security council. >> they need to act immediately if president salva kiir does not sign the agreement some. >> reporter: the u.s. drafted a u.n. security council resolution calls for targeted sanctions and an arms embargo if salva kiir does not sign the deal. there could be disagreements in the council over the initiative, and documents say action on the resolution would require further negotiations which could take days. >> the u.n.'s top official for

humanitarian affairs told council members on tuesday that the situation on the ground is grave, and getting worse. giving horrific examples of crimes against inspent civilians. >> i'm very concerned about the atrocities that are continued to be reported. the scope suggests a deep depth of antipathy. allegations include killing, rape, abduction, looting, arson and forced displacement. and such horrific acts of burning of people inside their own homes. thousands have been killed since september 2013 when fighting began. there are 2.2 million internally displaced people in the country, with 600,000 living in u.n. safety shelters for civilians, and there are 16,000 refugees in neighbouring countries, and

4.6 million people where 36% don't have enough to eat. it's hoped this could be the first step to stop of the violence and get help to those that need it most. >> in the words of u.n. representativ representatives, inking a deal will be the first step. as for the security council, they'll wait and watch closely what's on wednesday, before deciding what, if any, action they'll take. so the deal would create a power-sharing leader with riek machar returning as the vice president, and rebels dehli to be reintegrated into the army, both sign up to the ceasefire, and the cree ailings of a -- ceation of a demail torized zone. the signatories take responsibility, apologising for

the tens of thousands killed. we are joined live from juba. we are waiting on the president to sign the peace deal. has he done that yet? >> not as yet. i do understand that all the people we were waiting to arrive have now arrived. president kenyatta of kenya is here. president of sudan, prime minister of ethiopia is here in the country. i'm standing outside freedom hall. there's a brass band in there or the diplomats of south awaiting. there's no sign of president salva kiir zrks i'm told meself in consultations with his cabinet and i'm under the impression that many are opposed to him signing a peace deal. perhaps he's going through last-minute negotiations ahead of meeting with the dignitaries and signing a peace deal. >> thank you for that. we are joined by harry, a professor of government at

georgetown university, he was involved in the early part of south sudan's peace talks. good to have you with us. >> thank you. >> you know a lot more about this than many of us could possibly know. is he going to sign? >> he'll probably sign. >> right. >> the pressure put on salva kiir by the international community, particularly by the united states, and ethiopia, which has been in the lead of the mediation has been so huge that salva kiir, will probably sign, yes. >> there's a lot of pressure on him to sign. i'm not sure how reluctantly or enthusiastically she'll be signing it. what do they have to take into account to make it work? >> it's not difficult to make the deal work, the question is will it make peace work. the deal calls up sovereignty between the government and former relatives of riek machar. the question is if power sharing

is a problem to begin with, are they going to solve it. power will be decentralized. a lot of tricky details of the deal are to be worked out. there's where we see international pressure will be essential to make sure we don't go back to the situation in 2011, 2012 and 2013. >> so it's appeasing the two characters, once they have signed, if that happens, how is this going to work on the ground. how do you implement something like this. there has been so many people that are affected. they suffered so many abuses from the government and rebel forces. >> this is the tricky part. how do you restore confidence in national army knowing both sides engaged in the most egregious human rights. there's little alternative. ideally we wish away the criminals. these are the only people we

work with them. people with guns, in that sense a veto. if we don't get them to work together, we can't get a longer term solution. hopefully over time we can face out the worst elements of the army, train new divisions, soldiers coming into the ranks, and hopefully that will restore the trust that people have in their leadership, and in the armed forces as a whole. >> it will be a new country deserving a chance. >> thank you for coming in. >> the two workers from pt humanitarian group doctors without borders have been killed in separate attacks on villages in south sudan. they were killed in remote areas in the unity state. officials say they have learnt of violence, exact circumstances are being investigated. civil ahead on the newshour. a top leader makes an unflattering assessment of the united states efforts to fight i.s.i.l. >> egypt's president in moscow.

court russian favour and investments. >> and in sport, smiles as spanish teams make history in the champion's league chinese stock markets closed lower despite engs bank cuts in interest rates. the benchmark shank hoy composite. spruiking investment markets lost trillions of dollars. they are in the chinese capital beijing. they weren't up and down for markets across asia pacific, on the whole, many arrived japan, south korea, taiwan and callum sinclair, they focus on the shanghai composite, fluctuating by making gains and losses of 4%, ending down at 1.27%, and

that will certainly gain heart for those that invest in the market. over the four days of trading, the market lost 20%. even though the central bank cut interest rates, it made it easier for banks to loan money to businesses that have a shortfall in their finances, giving them the ability to have loans, and cutting the opportunity to gain interest. it's the fifth interest rate cut in the last five months since november, and perhaps this might be a trend that may condition. for the moment china is not out of the woods. it's a serious situation as far as the domestic market, the international perception of china's market, and everybody will be watching closely to how china pulls itself out of this, and regains the confidence that it needs to make sure that investors don't pull out the capital from this country and investors are attracted to the

chinese industry, market and stock exchange. >> many in china, those that bought shares are worried about losing everything. adrian brown has more from beijing. >> reporter: this man is struggling to understand what is happening to china's economy. all he knows is that his shares are words 70% less than what they were two months ago. he sells eggs at a markets and he invested all of his saverings, but is hopeful about a recovery. i put my savings into the stock markets. i can wait for the index to dom back. i will not buy or sell at this stage, just keep watching it. >> his story is now being replicated in many places across china. when it comes to making investments, the options for most chinese are pretty limited. property and shares. the problem now, though, is that

the prices of both are falling. falling stock market and an economy that is slowing. the owner of this restaurant says the takings are half of what they were in june when the stock market was falling. the landlord won't reduce the relent so he's closing. "my business will not do well, the stockmarket is falling. many companies in this area have gone bankrupt." >> reporter: it's an anxious time, not everyone wants to talk. many blame foreigners for manipulating the market. >> this training room is full of pensioners encouraged to buy sells. i don't dare do cal plate how much i lost. the market is falling. i lost 10%, today another 10%. i don't know when this could end. >> the stockmarket is a sensitive issue now, and the people know it.

officials demanded to see our pictures, ordering us to delete images before it returned our identity cards. >> when xi jinping became president, he unveiled his vision, calling it the china dream, meaning making china rich and powerful. some believe that will happen. >> the china dream is our goal. that goal would be definitely achieved. if not, our country will go backwards. people's lives are gaining day by day. >> china's leadership engineered and for the people it governs. they have faith it will do so again south korea says it is willing to discuss ending sanctions against the north on tuesday. both sides reaching a deal to end a tense military stand off. sanctions imposed in 2010 cut most ties with the north,

including tourism, trade and private aid. al jazeera spoke to a powerful military leader in iraq. we head the organization. it is a strong shia force fighting the islamic state of iraq and levant. and he criticizes the u.s. role in the fight accusing it of creating a sunni force. zeina khodr reports. [ gun fire ] >> reporter: u.s. military advisors in iraq have been training in equipping sunni tribesman in anbar province as part of their strategy. hundreds are on the front lines. the obama believes the role will be crucial to recapture the region. the programme is backed by the government. there are powerful force are voices raising questions. this is a top commander of the top mobilization forces, which groups shia paramilitary forces that replaced the iraqi army on

the ground. >> translation: if the americans are concerned about the sunnis, they should not violate sovereignty, and give the government capabilities to train them. america should create a sunni force. >> this person heads the organization, the military wing of the supreme council which has a strong presence in parliament. it does not hide good relations with iran. it was founded in the early 1980s. sunni politicians fear that commanders are growing in strength at the expense of the state. for them the u.s. training programme is a step in the right direction, creating the so-called national guard. >> there has been a good start. the u.s. trained 7,000 sunnis in anbar, they didn't give them proper weapons, these men are under the control of defence ministry, but we hope that one day parliament will prove the national guard project. and each province will have its

own force from its own people. >> the people in anbar have a long history of animosity with the shia led government. it seems there are efforts to prevent the mobilisation forces from taking part in a planned offensive. it was denied that there was an agreement with the u.s. to stop forces. without them the battle can't be won. the battle in ramadi is in its sixth week, and if there was cooperation between the army, police and the sons of tribes, it will be easily won, today it is describes as powerful men in iraq. dismissing the role of fighting i.s.i.l. in iraq and is criticizing an integral start of strategy. >> protests in lebanon continue despite a response to the rage

crisis. demonstrators required larger reforms, sparking the movement. tuesday the cabinet approved gl 100 landfill developer in a sunni area. >> in australia, heavy rain forced people from their homes in coastal areas south of sydney. more than 400km of rain has fallen since tuesday, some are a meter deep in water. the national weather service warns that a dam west of sydney could spillover and cause flooding downstream. let's find out from rob about a tornado in a town. >> no, it's active weather, obviously. a meter of rain in some streets. there was one. there was high-top clouds behind it. it made land fall, as you can

see. >> here is a minor dam, the dam which did, indeed breach, but it will be decommissioned. you saw the video. but let's update you on this. the rain has finally stopped falling at such a rate. this is the cloud facts at the moment. we recorded it officially. it's what fell from the sky in this area. it's gone falling to lower rates. i wouldn't like to say it's all gone. the emphasis in the next day will be not so much in new south wales, maybe a little in victoria, a few showers from melbourne. and running down to queensland, and through brisbane. >> that is something we don't normally do. have a look at hawaii, and why would you. frankly, the weather is normally pleasant. recently, there has been a lot of thunder storms circulating around whole island chains. something like 100 metres has been recorded in honolulu. here, too, surprisingly, that caused flooding. minor flooding, but flooding all

the same. i mentioned this because on the way to hawaii, it's a hurricane. >> that's all. stay with us, coming up on the programme israel takes actions from people making money from state subsidized goods. we report from sri lanka, where journalists are wary of promises of a free press. we'll tell you why the weather could scuffer the start of the dakar rally next year. year.

operate. russian policy was never like this in the soviet era or our days. we have strong confidence in the russians as allies, they have proven themselves. for four years they've been sincere and transparent an already different relationship between columbia and venezuela is worse than the president. they have closed the border, hundreds of columbians are being deported. >> reporter: for years venezuela goods have been syphoned out the i will-rich nation, government officials say 40% of all imported goods find their way into column by e and the caribbean islands in. contraband along the borders have been an ongoing problems. heavily subsidised food and petrol means if you drive across the border, you stand to make an

extraordinary profit. in an unprecedented move, the president extended the closure of one of the main crossings. it's parts of an effort to end smuggling in paramilitary. >> we are not going to do it any more. we have reached our limit. i hope we build a new relationship at all levels, so you can see the complexity of the process, which is in just a straight forward border closure. it is a new policy. >> the closure of the border crossing left dozens of families stranded and led to the deportation of more than 1,000 columbians, many living in venezuela for years. >> they kicked us out at five in the morning, kicked us out like dogs, didn't let us take anything or let us bathe. they said "let's go, leave, get out of here."

i lost everything, even my clothes, we left without a thing columbia and human rights group say deportations are unnecessary and authorities used excessive force. they say closing the border is untimely and unlikely to do much to solve venezuela's problems. >> i want not once again reiterate columbia's disapproval of the border closures, and we are convinced that closing the border will not help the two countries fight against contraband. it is creating a difficult situation for the residents who lived on either side of the border. >> reporter: but venezuela's government likes set to maintain or extend restrictions at other border crossings. unless column billa agrees to help build a new boardser the guatemalan supreme court approved a request to impeach the president.

canal, and the zone is to build two new companies. there's military compensation and this is the bridge of friendship exercise, russian warships training in june. russia has armed contracts with egypt worth $3.5 billion. a deal for russia to sell 46 mying dehli, with -- mig dehli. russia, unlike the united states, doesn't use weapon sales to push customers to improve human rights records. >> it's important for russia to show minister that russia is not irs lated and for the -- isolated and for the egyptians to show that egypt can stand

without them. money talks, and the finances are weak. maybe that's a reason why many deals exist on paper right now, unlike in soviet times, russia can no longer give energy or weapons away to allies, other than the odd kalashnikov, of course a senior lecturer in middle east politics and security citiedies joins us -- studies joins us from the show. what do you think is behind the latest trip and frequent trips. >> well, if you count in is his - the fifth meeting with president vladimir putin, and probably the sixth, if you counted the one in november 2015 when he was a defence minister. there are some components for this relationship. part of it is a relationship. the regime in egypt needs the

armed sales, needs the financial assistance, and the foreign direct investments. the trade investments, needs the nuclear reactor, help in building the nuclear reactor, and on the other hand, russia has also some benefits from this relationship, because it lost its - partially lost its ally in the bashar al-assad regime in syria. totally coles appsed, so it -- collapse said so it needs a partner and ally. the question here is who will pay for this relationship, because egypt's offenses, as the report mentions is dismal. internal debt is around $250 million. external debt is around $40 million. and the deficit, the budget deficit is 20%. unless one of the gulf state

sponsors part of the relationship, it will remain mainly on paper. >> what about the relationship with the u.s.? how will they view this? >> well, of course, part of the drive towards russia is that the human rights report, the - some of the leaked reports on human rights in egypt - the regime will not find the issues in russia understand vladimir putin. the regimes are similar in their nature, especially the authoritarian dimension, the idea that the strong man is a patron providing bed and security to the citizens, that is issues like accountability, transparency, human rights and freedoms, and therefore the meetings are very convenient. abdul fatah al-sisi, for example, will not face a legal challenge or an arrest warrant like in south africa or in the u.k., in russia.

so there is a comfort zone in that dimension as well, and ifs more or less the issues that he may face in the west, especially with the united states or within the e.u. okay, thank you sri lanka has been described as one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists, the new president promised changes and allow for greater transparency in reporting, as reported from colombo, some journalists are wary. >> reporter: this person is too familiar with what's when a journalist speaks out of turn in sri lanka. she says on 24 january 2010 her husband, a writer and cartoonist, was abducted by people loyal to the president. >> reporter: for the last five years i've been fighting for justice against sri lankan law. i've been struggling with

protests here and internationally. >> reporter: this journalist has been doing the same. he's the editor of a senna lease newspaper known for publishing stories that the governor would prefer left untold. he's been intimidated, and forced write anonymously. >> translation: to come out and be mo independent, and give out the right information, it's important to eliminate the fear factor. >> during the presidential election in january, a large number of journalists supported the candidate. they did so believing this his vision of politics, and the role of institutions like the press. after coming to power, they relaxed many of sri lanka's restrictive regulations, including opening the region to journalists, an area where separatist tammals fought the government. they allowed access to websites

banned by his predecessor. sri lanka's new president promised a more open government. but the decision to reinstate the press council raised questions about how far he's willing to go when it comes to freedom of the press. >> unlike other monitoring bodies around the world, sri lanka's press council has legal powers, and can send print journalists to gaol for up to two years. new council members were appointed in june. one of them told al jazeera the agency is necessary because sri lanka's media industry is in its infancy. >> just because the press council has the power of the district court doesn't mean it can grab a journalist and put him or her in jam. it's a blatant lie that those opposing the press council are spreading. the freedom groups are against

demanding anything they want. >> the decision to reappoint the press council goes against what he stands for. >> they should not have done that. they came as a people's government. something that they should have thought twice before the appointment. >> reporter: journalists here say they'll continue to speak the truth police in thailand have destroyed more than two tonnes of smuggled ivory. it's trying to avoid sanctions over the failure to tackle the situation. the biggest market. >> to be able to tell the public that it's not entirely, they read it in the market.

there's a majority of illegal groups from africa, that was killed. >> saying it entirely is business as unusual, following the bombing in the capital. there were concerns the violence would be effective. it was an attack like never seen before. killed in a targeted attack. the popular tourist spot. it was a mystery and there was speculation on motive. >> i know that there has been times using the system. if we look from the perspective. this is what we are facing.

>> reporter: the physical scars have been cleaned up or developing. the attack and the full extents will not be known. image and confident in thailand's security is critical to the government. tourism is seen as an economic engine, how the bombing goes, and if there's another attack there could be serious consequences for the economy - now and in the future. >> it will damper things. short-term impact would certainly be for tourism. it can have an impact on foreign investment, confidence well. >> some of the early series blames groups outside thailand, and a muslim separatist movement

in the south. >> this american lives a few kilometres from the site. that not far from a mosque her father founded. >> anyone who has the finger pointing. without evidence, we consider there's accusations, and it is not right for them to do so. >> regardless who is behind the bombings, some feel the key is learning from it. it is going to be a turning point, and it is a type of official preparing for the future. >> future, government and the people hoped they were insulated. one where civilians were target still ahead on the programme, why this keeper's blunder could cost his team a semifinal case.

afghanistan's capital may be short of many things. what it has is plenty of concrete blast walls, and they are the perfect blank canvas. jennifer glasse reports on how artists are transforming the barriers hoping that it will be the world's graffiti capital. >> reporter: on the barriers that symbolize deteriorating security, an effort of stability, a message warning that the people and god are watching. across the street they are painting hearts as a symbol of healing the nation. it's all work of artist and a

group of volunteers, with a few hundred dollars of their own money for paint and supplies, they are working to change the kilometres of blast walls making him geel understand siege in his -- him feel under siege in his city. >> when you put a picture on the wall. the wall disappears. you are in a new space. >> he wants the new space to be about a new afghanistan, that he and fellow painters can greet. >> it's time for afghanistan and for the world to contribute something else other than weapons and war. they have been too much for the past 36 years. it's time to give artists a chance. >> he wants everyone to participate. when a policeman takes an interest, he offers him a brush. he had the same for an old man passing by. >> translation: even people with no education can understand the

message when it's there. >> reporter: that is the idea. he wants to introduce artistic literacy, this is the first of a new series called heros of my city, celebrating its people. these are street sweepers, other murals will be of scale children and an old man on a bicycle, a hero for not adding to pollution and traffic. >> it has been heroes, heros with guns or swords. we want to celebrate the people that we see every day, who are working on the streets. >> while they may have started with an anticorruption painting, they hope there'll be uplifting and bring people together. >> because of the security situation, the city is in fear. we are trying to do something that grabs the attention of our people in a good way. >> those who take part say it's therapeutic, a way to contribute and share with fellow afghans.

they are hoping the project gets bigger. they are planning to invite international graphite aartists to paint here and share designs. the dream to make the city the graffiti capital of the world. there's no guarantee of safety for those that make these walls beautiful. sport. >> absolutely. spain has become the first country to have five teams in the u.e.f.a. champion's league group stage in the same season. that's after 2-time runner-up valencia scrapes through a tie. going through 4-3 on aggregate. >> translation: there was a spontaneous celebration with a collective selfie, we were together. knighted and happy. now there is a new project. and we go one step forward towards this project. this togetherness makes us competitive. the players are all in this together.

dedicated and devoted. >> joining valencia in the group stages is barcelona, real madrid, atletico and sevilla. it is dickated how many places a country gets dependent on success. spanish teams won the last 7, barca the current champion. england had one winner, chelsea, in that period, despite the fact that english premier league tv revenue alone is $197 million more than the entire income of spanish clubs. joining us from london is andrew war she, the chief correspondent for "inside world football." in this case money does not equal success, what makes spanish teams. >> a lot has to do with the way they play. in england we don't put as much

emphasis on possession, defense. if you look at last season, for instance, the technique that the spanish players have is far superior to most of the teams, not all, but most of them. in the premier league. i mean there was this damning statistic last season, not one english team for the first time since 1993, when the premier league was established. not one team reached the last eight of either the champion's league, or the europa league. and that says an awful lot for, if you like, the shifting sands of european football. what is another very significant factor, is that yes, spanish teams have five clubs for the first time in the season's competition, the draw for which is taking place tomorrow. one important element of this is the fact that u.e.f.a. has now

given a blub to the winners of the chaeg g champion's league are, a sister of european club football, giving incentive to win the competition, less incentive to those in england who still view the premier league as if you like the holy grail, and probably on balance give it more prominent than the champion's league. how does that european success at club level translate to the national team in spain and england. >> that is an important question. it's a debate raging in england for months, if not years. statistically the premier league has roughly 30%, 3-0 per cent of players eligible to play for england. the rest are stores or healthy dose, some might say of mercenaries, and, of course, an

inability - this is importance - to develop future stars at grassroots and academy level, which they managed to do in spain successfully. and in england we are playing catch up. that's a huge reason. >> andrew war shaw, the chief correspondent for "inside football', thank you for your analysis. >> in the other result celtic went out to malmo. the tie ending 4-3. through to the group stages for the first time in 11 years as they knocked out basel on away goals. donetsk is through with a 3-2 aggregate win over vienna. the teams aimed for progression in europe, in asia they struggled to make the semis after a quarterfinal encounter with saudi arabia. this keeper was the worst moment for the visitors, waiting too long to clear the ball and it rebounded off the striker.

they went on to lose the first leg 2-1. the champion hurdler revealed he would have a kidney transplant following the athletic championships. he says he's treating each race as if it could be the last. they spent six months in hospital at the end of 2013. after boston's failed bid to host the olympics, los angeles could be about to step in as a candidate. the council put together a proposal to host games that could be voted on on friday. los angeles hosted the 1992 and 1994 olympics. under the plan they'd use many existing penalties, like the staple center. it could cost around $4.1 million. the committee has until september the 15th to enter a

bid. peru has pulled out of hosting an opening stage of the dhaka rally because of fears over bad weather that could put competitors in danger. it's the biggest on the calendar. with cars and bikes racing off road. prolonged warm and wet systems known as el nino expected to be strong, and typical slugs and landslides. the race will have to be re-routed through the hosts. >> translation: the north could be a critical time with losses of infrastructure, and losses of human life, and taking that into account it would be important for the defence ministry and the interior ministry to participate. security should be aimed to the north, not the south for the event. and that is all the sport for now. >> thank you very much. we have another bulletin coming up. more on that refugee situation taking place in hungary. do stay with us.
