and new orleans remembers the victims of hurricane katrina, with celebrations bebegin this evening with calls for solidarity in dealing with the growing refugee crisis. today german chancellor angela merkel called on e.u. countries to take a greater role. the european union announced an emergency meeting to address the crisis, set for september 14th. the u.n. will hold its own weeks later. some e.u. countries refused to take on the refugees. meanwhile, three children are recovering in a hospital in austria, part of 26 people who were rescued from the back of a van yesterday. this follows last week's tragedy in austria where more than 70

bodies were discovered in the back of a van. officials arrested the driver of the vehicle containing the young children. >> all 26 people were in a bad condition. gladly the police officers found the three little children. they were in varying conditions. so they immediately called the red cross, and they took over and brought the three with the parents to the nearby hospital. >> and neighbouring hungary the government is tightening laws to prevent human smuggling, activists say it's making the problem worse. we go to the capital budapest where refugees are stranded with nowhere to go. >> reporter: for now, it's shelter for those that reached much shelter. many were not warned to buy international rail tickets. police stopped them boarding

drivens. this syrian mother spent the last of her savings on non-refundable steps. now she regrets not paying smugglers instead. >> translation: i feel angry. all countries helped us except hungary. macedonia let us cross and use the train to serbia. every day we walked hours to reach the border. my feet swollen. i had to carry my baby all the way. i'm exhausted. >> she has little help. there was a few volunteers giving advice to the refugees. >> we cannot only blame the smugglers, we are giving an incentive for the smugglers. giving them better business by not letting the people take a train. >> the government is ignoring criticism about how handling the crisis, standing accused of stripping away the rights of refugees. it's preparing a raft of the new legislation meaning thousands of

refugees are going back to serbia. >> nearly all the refugees crossed from serbia. hungary is defining its neighbour as one of several changes. >> any asylum seekers crossing serbia will have no late claim in hungary, their claim will be rejected at first site without any protection, considering why they left war in syria, afghanistan or iraq. most of the efforts to help refugees. donated produce is here to feed 4,500 people. >> we couldn't say at home with what is going on. all of us feel we are human being and should respect these refugees, so they would not feel that they are treated as animals and terrorists the hungary are grateful for the help. it will get worse for them.

there are plans to clear transit zones like this, and enclose people in fenced off areas away from the public. these people came a long way to end up like this. and it could hardly be described as sanctuary or refuge. the reports referred to it as a general news release, dealing with calls for people to continue their journey in austria. he said as far as he was concerned. if they didn't have visas and passports they couldn't travel within europe. they could only travel to hungry. it would be accompanied by a file application. they go through the process, which will be speeded up, and once the process was over, they would be successful and move on and stay, or leave andrew simmonds reporting from macedonia. hundreds of refugees boarded a train today, trying to make it

to other parts of europe. >> i am from syria. i'm going to germany. >> the train carrying 500 was headed to serbia. many of the refugees on board just arrived in greece. new they have established a makeshift day care for the children of the refugees. child care facilities for syrian refugees passing through the countries. children are given toys donated by u.n.i.c.e.f. and food provided by local businesses. the red cross is giving parents baby food and other supplies to take with them as they continue their journey. a ship filled with 1800 refugees left a port, headed for athens. many of those on board had been camping out in the congested

harbour for days, waiting for papers and a spot on board. passenger space is limited on ferries, because a recent wave of refugees arrived, during tourist season. >> red cross officials say seven bodies washed ashore after a ship went down off the coast of libya. the ship sank near homes east of tripoli. officials do not know how many were on board the ship. coast guard rescue operations are under way. human rights groups are working to stop a group of nigerian women being deported. as reported, there are fears that the women will be at the mercy of human traffickers if forced to return home. >> a cry for help from a refugee center that looks more like a prison. these are some of the 64 nigerian women rescued in july

from the mediterranean sea. like thousands before or after, they were hoping for the best life in europe. but their rescuers became their gaolers. they are held in one of the italy's identification and expulsion center. a one-stop shop.

>> reporter: this is it not officially a prison. it certainly looks like one. refugees are locked behind bars, and the freedom of movement is limited we have been told that we cannot go inside the rooms, but the girls here told me that their room is overcrowded. they sleep on hospital beds, it's overheated, too many mosquitos. there's a flood, and the stench keeps them awake at night. human rights organizations are helping the women apply for asylum. if they are freed they have a risk. of going from prison to slavery. >> we are trying to see if they are trafficked with the threat of sex slavery, moment are trafficked to be forced to prostitution. our main concern is in the absence of protection, the women may be re-victimized in italy by the same networks that

trafficked them to begin with, or back in nigeria, for the reasons that forced them to leave the country. >> the outcome of their asylum request will be known in a couple of weeks. in the meantime, the women will wait anxiously and impatiently for a better future that they risk their lives for bill is the director of the refugee programme for human rights watch, and is in baltimore and joins us. appreciate your time. there are policies or policies in europe that are in place on paper, that are supposed to deal with situations like this. what is not working? >> well, you are right. they have supposedly a common european system which means supposedly harmonized procedures, reception conditions, standards, so that a person arriving in a hungary or a bulgaria should be treated in

the exact same way as someone arriving in sweden. everyone knows that this is not the case. the migrants themselves are trying to move on to get to the germanys and the swedens, where they feel they have a chance for a fair hearing. and by the same token, their countries in the interior have been pushing back. all the responsibility is for the countries on first arrival. in other words, where you set foot the country is supposed to examine your claim and take care of it. german and sweden say the system is wrong, it's not working, we have to start over and have an equitable sharing arrangements. and a lot are dragging their feet saying it's each country for themselves. >> what is going to be different about the meeting compared to

the other, things that are happening over the past few months? >> it's not the first emergency meeting taking place. it's 2 weeks from now. we have an emergency we are faced with now. oftentimes what we see is a fait accompli. where the situation overstretches the bureaucratic slow motion movement of brussels. the example for this is in the last emergency meeting they were supposed to have agreed to locate 40,000 asylum seekers from italy and greece. the other countries in an equitable way. they couldn't get the countries to agree over a 2-year period. the same month when that occurred. 50,000 new arrivals came into greece. if they met that goal, it was

not keeping pace with the problem. they couldn't even meet that boll. it's been a pathetic response, no coordination. the situation is out of hand. >> germany in particular said that this procedure is not working. is the responsibility on germany to take the lead here? >> well, germany is taking the lead. all to the credit of germany. most of the people are going there, projecting they'll have 800,000 asylum seekers applicants this year alone. quadruple the numbers from last year, yet they are not panicked. they are approaching it in a rational way, and are trying to spread the responsibilities out on their states and municipalities, and that works and is rational and allows them to manage the situation. essentially they are saying to their co-members of the european

union, this ought to work for the union as a whole. they have had little cooperation in trying to approach this situation not in crisis mode or panic and not by building higher fences and using stun guns and tear gas, but saying this is something we can handle. it is manageable, and we are willing to do it. >> as you said, the response is not keeping pace, but the number of people making the journeys. thank you very much. >> thank you the issue of undocumented immigration loomed large in the 2016 race for the white house. most of the talk has been about securing the southern u.s. border. republican presidential front runner donald trump advocated a wall. another candidate feels a wall will be needed along the

canadian border. >> people in new hampshire arrived about that, they have legitimate concerns, including a law enforcement person. that is a legitimate issue the canadian border stretches for 5500 miles, the world's longest international border. meanwhile trump's message appears to catch on with voters in the midwest. strong support shown for the billionaire developer in iowa, where the first vote in the 2016 race will be cast in over five months from now. china has 23% support of likely voters, along with a 51% favour ability rating. that is up 34 points since may. louisiana governor is weighing in. the republicans say people that come to the u.s. should speak english and try to fit in. >> we need to insist on a similar way. they have huge problems in europe. immigration without assimilation

is invasion. >> new hamp sir has ted cruz. the tea party favourite had five stops scheduled. santora is attempting to visit 99 locations by the end of the week. bernie sanders cut hillary clinton's lead in the race to the democratic nomination to 7 percentage points. she stuck mostly to domestic issues, today discussing foreign policy with abc news. if he was president he said he would not hesitate to use military force, only if me had no other choice. >> war is the last resort. not the first. you are looking at a guy. there's times you have to use force. no question about it. >> senators voted against going to the war in iraq in 1991 and

2003. despite her shrinking lead, hillary clinton remains the unquestioned democratic front runner. bernie sanders made a point of saying some are not against her. another opponent martin o'mallee accused the race of being rigged in hillary clinton's favour president barack obama prepares to meet saudi arabia's president to discuss the nuclear deal, and getting ready to make history. women candidates on the pallet. voting for the first time. and work on the human brain gets hollywood's attention. we look back at the live of oliver backs. backs.

the countdown is on for historic munize mall elections in saudi arabia later this year. women, for the first time. are registering for the elections. >> so far 200 women showed interest, one spoke with al jazeera today. >> i think this is a stepping stone. women in saudi arabia, we value our tradition, we believe the way of change is evolutionary.

we believe we take our time, and the steps towards the change. >> internet registration will run until september 17th. while voter registration ends on september 14th. the iran nuclear deal will be on the agenda when president obama meets with saudi arabia's king. the visit is in the coming days before congress votes on the iran nuclear deal. they expressed concerns over how the terms will be enforced. the former u.s. am bass door to saudi arabia joins us from massachusetts. we appreciate your time. can you put this visit in some sort of context for us, given the political climate in this country as it pertains to this nuclear deal with iran? >> yes. it's good to be with you this evening.

it's a very opportune time for the king to come back. it's the first visit as king. i came back with him it's not the first visit to the white house, but the first as king of saudi arabia. it's importance not just because of the iran nuclear deal, that is the centre piece. also the global energy markets, and the impact that they are having on the global economy. it's an opportune time for the talks to take place. saudi arabia expressed reservations about the nuclear deal. what should the u.s. do or say about the reservations. >> i can see four questions. the first is is a nuclear deal

enforceable. it's a technical question. the second issue is does the u.s. governments have the will to enforce the agreement. that is a political question. my observation is that the secretary kerrry worked hard to satisfy saudis, and that's why they came forward in support. the third issue has to do with what happened after the agreement, and is the united states willing then to engage in the issues that are important for the region. primarily iran's strategy of instability in the region. the fourth question is one that is the hallmark of the resistance against the agreement, which is what happens after 15 years. and the u.s. government said that they will not allow iran to have nuclear weapons, so has the

government got a hold to that and put a marker down that at the ends of 15 years, it will not be - the united states will hold to the promise to keep iran from developing a nuclear wep jen. >> do you support this agreement? >> absolutely. >> that was a short, easy answer, no hesitation whatsoever. >> let's think about this for a moment. any time you have the opportunity to eliminate a new player in the nuclear ownership, any time you have the opportunity to control nuclear weapons or material, it makes sense to do that. now, there are many other issues about iran, that we have, the saudis have. the region has, as long as the nuclear issue is the centre piece of the concern, you can't deal with the other issues. so my view is get a nuclear

agreement that you can enforce. the government has to have the will to enforce it, and set it to the side. i.a.e.a. is doing its job with our support. and now let's focus on the other issues. support for extremism, instability in the region, prisoners that they have. engaging the iranian diastera with people back home. all of this is possibilitiesies. >> when you talk about instability, we can't not talk about the fact that saudis have been carrying out air strikes in yemen, will that be discussed as well. >> i think possibly. the government is close to the saudis in this operation. the tactical objectives of that operation were to equip the houthi forces gaining in strength since 2009. with the support from iran. i think they have been successful in doing that.

the more strategic objective was for the arab community, which closed the gulf. egypt and sudan, to send a signal that they have had enough, that iran will no longer act with impunity in the region. i think that was important. the change for the saudis is an issue that we've come to realise, very often it's more difficult to start an operation than it is to finish it. the challenge they have is setting conditions for a political settlement, to allow the government to come back into power in sanaa. >> james smith former ambassador. thank you for your time. >> thank you it was another deadly day in yemen as the saudi-led coalition killed dozens of people. officials deny civilians were killed in an air strike at a

bottling plant. a spokesman for the coalition says the plant was used to make bombs. 36 were killed in that bombing. meanwhile, in the southern port city of aden army recruits were training the government in exile. 2,000 fighters were involved. officials say ner preparing for an advance on the capital. which has been under rebel control for a year. 10 years after katrina. a city remembers what it lost in a way only new orleans can. a strong call for reform from the streets of the chicago, where people demand an end to the brutal treatment of minorities by police.

churches throughout new

orleans and the gulf coast held emotional services commemorating the 10th anniversary of katrina. it was an opportunity to mourn 1800 that died in that disaster, and celebrate how far the area has come since storm. andy gallagher reports. >> memorial services across new orleans gathered to remember those lost to the storm. a decade ago the city was submerged. streets and neighbourhoods in ruins, many memories too powerful, losses too great. mourners were told the struggled of the past two years were in vain. >> i'll take a minute to do the best to make sure that the people of new orleans know that the world has not forgotten us, and continues to hold us up as a model for the country, and remember us this week. we want to commemorate the lives

lost, which we are doing today, and say thank you to the world that came to our aid in our darkest hour. >> another part of the city - residents danced and marched through the neighbourhoods in a celebration of death and rebirth. in years after the levies failed, the $14 billion system of flood walls and pumps provides protection from future storms. in the lower ninth ward, one of the worst-hit neighbourhoods, was a celebrations. less than half the residents of this neighbourhoods returned to their homes. those here are determined to restore the community. if there's something to take away from the struggle of the past 10 years, it's this. resilience can't kill the spirit of the city. >> poverty is an issue for new orleans, but the city made a recovery, residents are optimistic about the future.

>> katrina is stronger. once you fall down you learn from the mistakes. we came back bigger and better. >> what happened years ago can never be forgotten. it's a determination to push forward and make things better, no matter how long it takes. kevin is here with the weather. 10 years, wow. >> it's been 10 years, it was one of those - i was working that day, and see it approach land, i knew how bad it would be. we didn't know what would happen to new orleans. it was a flooding issue, to the gold coast we knew it was bad and worse than we thought in that area. take a look at the picture behind me. it's a beautiful picture coming out from the air force reserves. it was as well from hawaii. this is on the inside of the eye of ignacio, as the storm is making its way. we don't think of windfall, but

it will get close to hawaii. here is ignasio here. what you'll notice is over the last six or so hours, the eye of the storm closes up. weakening from a category 3. it's weakening fast as it goes into cooler waters. this storm is a category 4. we'll watch that as well. not so much concerned about it now, it's in the open water. here is the forecast track for the storm. category 3. we think of the next advisory, dropping down quickly, the storm stays to the north of hawaii. there's tropical storm waters here across the eastern part of the islands in, and the northern part of the islands. there'll be a storm surge and there could be flooding rain associated with that. tropical storm system to the

north. >> pretty much gone, we see the areas of cuba. there's a lot of cloud and moisture in the area. take a look at what happened over the last day. all the moisture has been funnelling up over the peninsula. they have been getting a lot of rain, we expect a bit of flooding across the area. >> thank you very much. >> a man in charge of fatally shooting a sheriff's deputy is expected to be arraigned in houston. he is accused of shooting a deputy at a gas station on friday night. he faces capital murder charges. police believe the officer was targeted. they don't have information about a motive. some linked the killings to tensions with the community. deputy was white. miles black. dallas police released video showing the death of a man at a

county gaol. joseph hutchison died after being handcuffed and subdued, where he was behaving recklessly. an officer appears to connect his knee into his neck. talk about minorities. demonstrators gathered in chicago. as ben henderson reports, the city has a long and expensive history of police brutality complaints. >> reporter: chicago's most storied streets, the demonstrate jobs feign death. >> we are not going down. >> a spate of recent deaths with black men in custody focused world attention on places like baltimore and ferguson, missouri. police used unjustified killings to go on for decades.

they march past the chicago theatre, past the tower owned by a presidential candidate to protest the treatment the blacks and poor by the police. shows many people of certain brackets gunned down or beaten or harassed or assaulted by police. you do see that often. >> reporter: the city paid more than $85 million to victims of police torture in the 1990s, and set aside a funds. a commander was set aside to prison for perjury for overseeing electro caution, shocks and other torture. protesters want more, they want change. >> people ask me what got me involved. all i did was listen.

it was literally outrageous, i don't know how anyone can here that. the demonstrators say they are marching for justice. and want a new civilian police oversight bored elected. 120 people have been killed by police in chicago. none of them have been held accountable. >> they have literally done nothing. they have not held police accountable. when they mess up, commit a crime, serious stuff like murder. they never get prosecuted. they never get brought to justice. the police union, said that the demonstrators were right to protest, but declined to address their complaints protests of a different kind in japan. protests over plans to develop the military's role and security

mission. the opposition to the idea staged a major demonstration in tokyo. >> under the constitution, japan is barred from using force to resolve conflict, except to defend itself. protesters outside the parliament want it to stay that way. >> 70 years ago so many lost loved ones and went through such hardships, they wanted to leave a legacy of lessons for the future. that's the passive contribution. the constitution has been violated now, that's why we protested. demonstrations have been taking place across the country. led by students and a lot of people. they want to protect the pacifist constitution. this city has been on hunger strike for 74 hours. >> i want japan to be a nation that promotes peace and be on

example. >> this 75-year-old survived air raids on japan during the second world war, saying the experience held him to join the protesters. >> i came because i must convey the horrors of the war. the legislation will lead us to war again. it change would allow troops to be sent overseas to defend the attack. opinion polls show a majority of voters are opposed to the legislation. it's been passed by the lower house. it's expected to be endorsed, despite protestor's attempts to stop it a ceasefire in south sudan went into effect today, but there are already reports that it has been violated. a rebel official claims government troops attacked three villages in southern unity state. houses were burnt.

millions. as wayne hay reports, government officials are threatening to bring the protests to an end. >> they converged on the center of kuala lumpur in the tens of thousands, calling for the resignation of the prime minister. it has not happened yet. the leaders of the so-called movement, believe their protest can still be called a success. >> it's a member of the parliament. for them to... ..this is a message to the prime minister that he needs to go. >> reporter: they believe the prime minister is anything but clean. as well as electoral and political reform, they want him arrested on corruption charges. last month allegations surfaced that he had taken 700 million from the state investment fund, which he denies. >> we would like him to stand down. most of the public realise that's not in their hands.

consumer. there's an impact on global currency markets. china engineered a dramatic evaluation, training a wave of currency evaluations and markets. if they get weaker, they get stronger, spelling trouble for the experts, because a strong director makes u.s. susceptible to buy outs. raising interest rates could cause more. you have a recipe for low inflation, which is below the fed's 2% factoring for three years. the big question for the fed officials is will the factors persist or ease up. speaking at an annual conference over the weekend, fed vice chair stanley fisher said there's good reason to believe inflation will pick up, leaving the door open to a rate hike in september. in the middle of last week, market madness, the president

kidnapping more people they try to infiltrate the groups. this person has taken on the case in the only human rights center working in the state. even his small office was surrounded by marines last year. with activists silent. and local media silent, government forces in the cartel's fight in a state that is a transit point for drug smugglers. and a route for migrants heading through to the u.s. border. >> the honduras found refuge in the shelter, after being abducted and stripped. he was let go, more have not been so lucky. >> just leaving here makes me scared. i could be kidnapped gain. every weekend the gangs hang around waiting to see if they come out. >> many vanish on the roads, bodies never found. >> this is one of the first protests outside a government office.
