>> the hungarian government is defending its action as it strengths it's border control. government spokesman have told al jazeera that hungary is not against asylum seekers. hungary is also under fire for building this fence along the southern border. they have criticized the offense saying it does not respect europe's common values. >> the hungarian government is defending its action saying it's merely complying with e.u. law. it says people without visas can't leave the country. this is what the government spokesperson had to say. >> i think it's not about asylum but illegal border crossing which we're trying to fix.

it's totally unexcepted that over 150,000 people come through your green borders without discipline, order or law. we're trying to establish at the borders of hungar hundred hungary is to put discipline in this influx. >> discipline, order and law from refugee who is are escap ing an absolutely appalling war in syria. is that the right approach? >> it is for those who might be refugees or economic migrants. we don't know. they don't have papers. they don't have any way of proving their identities. it is only through rules that not only hungary but also the european unions will be able to handle-- >> ban ki-moon, the international law of migration are asking for a more

coordinated approach. asking for hungary to be more logical, careful and coordinated rather than building up 175 kilometer fence. aren't you at least considering being more careful with these refugees and wanting to actually give them sanctuary in the east of europe. >> again you use a word that should be corrected. until we establish identify we don't know if they're refugees or if they are not. these people coming through four, five, seven countries and arriving should be put under some kind of discipline to establish their identities. >> the government said that it's actively seeking clarification from german of what it means referring to syrian refugee of being able to seek asylum in germany itself. there are unconfirmed reports to move germany to take in refugees

from hungary directly on trains that they have not been confirmed. it isn't a clear situation as to what is happening next for the refugee who is have been stuck at these railway stations. >> well, austria has stopped a train full of refugees from crossing over its border with hungary. they'll be checking whether those on board have applie iowa plied for asylum. this is offer 71 refugees were found dead in a lorri last week. crossing over to us austria. what security checks are being used on the border and thi the refugees what have you heard on that situation. >> the train was overcrowded. that's why they stopped it.

they wanted to also to allow those people who had valid papers to come in to austria, but those who had applied for asylum in hungary, to stay in hungary, and of course there is a question of people who may or may not be able to claim refugee status if they do not come from one of these war-torn countries. in the wake of that horrifying incident with 71 people who were found dead suffocated inside the truck by the side of the road in austria, the austrian authorities have gun taking action. they're stopping trucks and advance on their way into austria from hungary. the interior minister said that the tougher measures were needed because human traffickers are becoming increasingly brutal. other austrian authorities say

that 200 refugees have been freed as a result of the police auctioneer the hungarian border, and that five five alleged human traffickers were detain: this, however, has caused enormous traffic jams along the main highways leading from budapest to vienna, and it doesn't seem that this could really be a viable long-term solution to this refugee problem. and also, of course, the train incident, that is causing a lot of disruption in the travel flow as well. so the refugee crisis is really effecting all sorts of travel arteries throughout this part of europe. >> all right, thank you for that from vienna. well, the german chancellor said that this refugee crisis is an issue that will not be solved

any time soon. >> we have a humanitarian responsibility. we need to establish registration centers and talk to african nations. talk to countries that are in civil war and insure there is a fair distribution of refugees across europe. not what is happening currently across serbia, macedonia and hungary. >> well, the french prime minister has also been speaking about the refugee crisis where he has visited a camp in calais. here authorities have announced they will give france money to help those who are stuck in the port city. >> our responsibility is to insure that the right to asylum, a fundamental right to which france is attached is respected everywhere. we can't get out of it with barbed wire fences. those who are exposed to torture, oppressed, they must be welcomed in europe. >> an ukrainian national guards

china's devaluing currency as well as the fatal explosions in tianjin. but criticisms over the government's handling of all this have not featured in china state media. instead it's been focusing on thursday's big military parade. commemorating the 70th anniversary of japan's surrender. preparations have coincided with a tightening of already strict internet restrictions. two chinese language social media sites for our sister network al jazeera arabic are now blocked. authorities won't say why. the laws covering media in china are very vague and during troubled times like these those regulations are often used to block news stories that they say expose state secrets or endanger the country. in short many people say that the government fears free media because it would undermine its authority.

this economy relies on the web for growth. but the rising demand for internet freedom is now testing the government's control. adrian brown, al jazeera. beijing. >> still ahead on al jazeera, we meet the syrian refugee who is are hoping for a higher education. plus the problem of a community further divided among sectarian lines. lines.

>> 4,000 students applied for scholarships last year but only 100 opportunities were provided. the refugees in this camp say that they're worried with every passing year they're becoming less able to achieve their dreams or have a say in their future. >> well, isil was cleared from iraq's eastern province last month and would deepen the divide between shia, sunni and kurdish communities. >> these people are demanding to go home. their town was cleared of isil ten months ago. officials from the iraq government tell them to wait for the roads and facilities to be rebuilt but they believe that kurdish forces who recaptured the area can't to make sure that the region they governor in the north. >> the kurds who are destroying our homes and they want to change the demographics so arabs won't be the majority there. >> the representatives of the

town's 90,000 sunni arabs are seeking help. representatives of the sunnies say that they don't have much power. >> they're now in control operate outside of this. >> there has long been an uneasy relationship between the communities. >> the ethnic and sectarian fault lines have run through this province for years. they have worsened since the start of the war against isil. that war has brought a new reality. one that has created a new authority on the ground. >> shia militias let's known as the popular mobilization force has become the real power here. they led the fight against isil but were aused of reprisal

killings between sunnies. many feel that the actions of these groups are a continuation of years of sectarian policies by the shia-led government. >> this is why sunniys move to the areas where the communities live. the aim of the ongoing attacks by isil and the militias are linked to political parties have caused strife. >> the residents feel the same. more than 100 people were killed in a suicide truck bombing in an attack that isil said it carried out has not helped to reconcile communities. >> our community has been targeted. why are they killing us? now we're suspicious of everyone. those responsible want to prevent coexistence. >> the sectarian violence over the years changed. the divide has grown deeper and it is tearing the society apart. al jazeera, de dee di

diyala. >> during president obama's three-day tour he will highlight how alaska's stunning environment has already been damaged by the client change. martin kizer said that developed countries must do more to limit global warming. >> it's clear that the contributions of the united states, china, the european union and other countries don't add up to a joint effort to limit global warming far below 1.5-degree, which is necessary to limit the catastrophi cat catastrophe coming from global warming. the obligation to come up every five years with new climate and

more ambitious targets that would be the way the paris agreement could really come up to a better future. i mean, it's a very double-sided message that president obama gives. he gives his leadership towards agreement towards commitment in paris. on the other hand his permission for oil drilling in the arctic. i think president obama needs to revisit his approach in the arctic. i mean a lot of diplomatic effort is going on at a very high level. president obama from the united states, but also president x xi jinping from china are highly engaged there is going to be an agreement in paris. but whether this agreement will help the ongoing campaigns against coal-fired power plants, coal meaning, oil drilling in

the arctic, that seems to be the open question. >> well, china's latest arm drone has made its first flight. the beijing said that the unmanned airstrike. >> unveiling the new drone won't come as a surprise to the international community, but it will raise eyebrows in military circles. the rainbow 5 can carry one ton and fly five times longer. the drone like this has been seen as one that could potentially be used in the south china sea area. an area that is already seeing tensions between china and it's neighbors over land and sea resources. china is saying that it'sin it's willing to sell it's drone technology to anyone who wants it in international law and international perimeters. we're seeing nigeria take advantage of that cooperation in

its fight against boko haram. something that will certainly please the americans on the ground level, but also in the long term will certainly worry americans of the american administration because they would like to get inroads into the market, but their hands are tied by their own lawmakers who with a fine tooth comb can decide which countries can use american technology, and certainly nigeria is not one of them. in the long term china will be wanting to export its technology, selling to its allies and those countries that will want drone technology will carefully in the next few weeks be making that approach. >> vietnam has begun releasing hundreds of prisoners lady of independence day celebrations. people will be freed in vietnam's biggest-ever amnesty.

ethiopia has one of the fastest growing economies in africa. part of that is down to the expanding mining industry. charles stratford went to the southeast where mining opals is a mining trade. >> it's a rugged and breathtakingly beautiful landscape and a discovery in recent years has precious gem experts around the world very excited. opals. of an exceptionally high quality. we meet a group of miners as they head back to their village. the work is very, very hard, this man tells me. look at the blue in that. he has been mining for two years. he and 12 other men work in this 40-meter long tunnel.

the group earn up to $2,500 a week for the stones they fine. >> he has been digging here for 20 minutes now, and he has just hit into a piece of rock. this is the opal. the guys who work this mine say that on a good week we can pull out around 50 kilos of these stones. there is nothing to support the roof of the tunnel. he says that the last time a miner was killed here was three years ago. >> the landslide happens when it rains. it's frightening when you're inside the tunnel. but i don't want to stop this work until i'm successful. >> the government has supplied the miners with basic tools and says it wants to improve health and safety standards and encouraged them to form cooperatives. they sell most of the opals for processing abroad. >> since we formed the

cooperatives we've been able to save money. some of our friends have bought cars. others are buying houses. >> this is one of only two gem stone workshops. ethiopia's industry generates $25 million a year a long way behind australia, which produces more than 90% of the world's opals. this stone on the left is worth around $5 per carat. increase in value as you move along the line. this last stone is around $150 per car at and is valued over $3,000. all are found in ethiopia. the government plans to establish infrastructure here to sell cut and polished stones. >> we're now inviting investors, mining companies to come to ethiopia. >> the opal is known as the queen of gems. so men continue digging despite

the risks involved. charles stratford, al jazeera, northern ethiopia. >> you can read much more about that story as well as the day's other top stories on our website www.aljazeera.com. >> police call it an unpro poked cold blooded execution. why they say that police targeted a man and shot him from behind. >> why don't we just drop the qualifier and say that lives matter. >> backlash after a sheriff renames a popular protest movement for his rhetoric. there could with an impact
