movers and shakers. >> we will be able to see change. >> gripping. inspiring. entertaining. "talk to al jazeera". only on al jazeera america. >> this is al jazeera america, live from new york city, i'm tony harris. a defiant county clerk ignores the supreme court. and again refuses to issue same-sex marriage licences. next stop, federal court train stations in hungary shut down - overwhelmed by refugees. one official calls d a crisis of biblical proportions and the pope orders forgiveness for women that have had abortions -

but the change is temporary. and we begin with a legal standoff in a kentucky country clerk's office. the clerk has been summoned to a federal court on thursday, to explain why she is refusing to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples. rowan county clerk kim davis cites god's authority as the region. a judge ordered davis to issue the licences. she will do it. >> and last night the supreme court turned down a request from davis to put the judge's ruling on hold while she continues her legal battle. jonathan martin is in josh kennedy. does kim davis has a lot of support in moore head. >> she has some support. earlier today this place was filled with protesters demonstrators, supporting her. others who are same-sex marriage advocates and couples.

it was unclear how couples would go down after the supreme court decision. essentially they refused to go along with her position that she should not have to issue the marriage licences. couples turned up expecting her to move forward and follow the law. that did not happen, here is what happened early when couples showed up. >> the supreme court denied her stay. >> we are not issuing licences. >> based on what. why are are you not issuing marriage licences. >> because i'm not. >> under whose authority are you not. >> under god's authority. >> so, again, you heard the county clerk kim davis saying she would not issue marriage licences despite the court's order because of god's authority, that is what this situation, this case boils down to. the country clerk says she should not be forced to follow the law. her religious convictions

outweigh that. this all comes after she stops issuing licences for gay and straight couples in june, after the supreme court ruled effectively that gay marriage was legal in the u.s. she has not issued ambulances, she's been sued by several couples, and as you mentioned, a federal suj summoneded her to -- judge summoned her to be in court where she could face federal court charges, fines or go to gaol. at this point it appears she is defiant. we talked to a man that came in to talk to his partner, and he said it's the fourth time he tried to get his licence, and thou that this happened again, he is ready to go to court. >> absolutely time to go to court. it's time to get her out of that office. whether a person are of any other belief, christian - if they can't see the lawlessness of what she's doing, they are blatantly ignoring the truth.

>> it appears at this point the county clerk is not planning to step down. you might ask why can't she be pushed out of office. she's an elected official. the only way she could be removed is if the state legislature intervenes, it is unlikely, they are not set to intervene for a few months. that's the case here, a federal court hearing on thursday jonathan martin. joining me is dan cannon, a lawyer representing a couple suing the county clerk. he's joining us from moore head kentucky. actually, are you in louisville. and april miller and her partner karen roberts are one of the couples suing the rowan county clerk. the argument that ms davis is putting forward is that she's acting on god's authority.

god's authority. what do you make of that as an argument? >> well, you know, listen, obviously we support ms davis's right to believe what she wants to believe or anyone else's right to believe what they want to believe in a religious context the . the problem with that is the government. she's an elected official, and she governs for all when intents and purposes a county in kentucky. it's important for your viewers, and for our friends on the other side in particular to understand what the implications are of what ms davis's arguments have been throughout this thing, which is an elected official can govern a county according to his or her own private religious believes. and the answer on the other side is look, your clients can go to any other county in kentucky, you have 119 other option, you can go down the street and go

30 minutes away and get a licence in any other county. and the obvious problem with that is that the precedent of allowing that sort of thing would set, would be that, you know, you'd have 120 different sets of laws governed by 120 different religious principles, that's not the way we do things in the united states. >> that is not going to stand. >> it seems clear to me, maybe i'm missing something that this is not going to stand. look, bring this home on a personal level for me, describe the experience, if you would. good to see and talk to you. will you describe the experience of heading down to that clerk's office, requesting a marriage licence and told no, that will not happen, not here, not today, and as long as i'm in this position, it's never going to happen. >> actually, my partner and i, karen, had been requesting a marriage licence three files,

june 30th, august 13th and today. each time it makes us feel discriminated against, and marginalized, ostracised, and we feel like she is telling us to go away and we are not worthy of a piece of piper that certifies that we are eligible for a marriage licence. >> right. so, april, what is your reaction... >> it's heart-breaking. >> sure. what is your reaction to the claim. i guess at some point you were in that scrum, that we watched today. and you are standing across, and she is claiming she's tacting on god's authority. >> well, this morning when we went in, actually we were the first couple, and we went in, asked for a marriage licence, we were told that they were not issuing based on impending appeals, and we questioned that.

we questioned again what - would kim davis come out and speak to us. she would not. we said thank you, and turned away. after we left the county clerk's office, the next couple came in, there was a little more connection with other couples that went in today. we were, i guess, hopeful today that we would have the ability for getting our marriage licence, and we were really disappointed again. it stings. it is really hurtful each time it happens, and i think it's compounded each time. >> dan, let me come back to you. contempt. talk to me about contempt. it seems to me she's clearly in contempt of court here. >> sure, and unfortunately, we had to file a motion to hold her in contempt this morning. and the judge has set a hearing

for thursday morning, and, you know, we'll see what he has to say about it. given the number of federal jurists that have spoken already on this issue, and said in no uncertainly term, including the supreme court in the united states, and basically said that she does, in fact, have to comply with the law and live by the rule of law, she continues to choose not to. >> do you see et legislature, i -- see the legislature, i know it's not in session for a while. i guess i'm asking if you have a sense whether there's a lot of people part of the legislature who support davis's view on this. >> yes, the big talk from a legislative standpoint is, you know, what can we do to exempt the clerks in some way. >> really. >> can we just use the - an online system to issue licences, for example, that sort of thing. and that is all well and good. we don't take a position on that. the bottom line is it's not an

option now or for clients who want their marriage licences in the county, that they work and pay taxes and go to school and everything else, right now. >> right, right. >> let me thank you both. >> april miller and her partner, karen roberts, one of six couples sues kim davis, the rowan county clerk. good to see you, thank you for your time. >> dan cannon, a lawyer working on this case, joining us from louisville kentucky president obama almost has the votes he needs to block congress from rejecting the iran nuclear deal. pennsylvania senator bob casey and delaware senator chris coombes became the 32nd and 33rd democrats to back the agreement. they need one more vote to uphold a veto of the resolution of the approval of the iran nuclear deal. mike viqueira joins us life from washington. the momentum appears to be behind the president at this

point. >> it's difficult. difficult to explain in a way the machinations of the isn't amount. -- senate. it's like a bank job. delaware, pennsylvania state and another put the president on the verge of victory. he needs one more, one of 11 undecided democrats remaining in the senate to be assured of the victory, we talk about the difficult procedure. basically what is expected to happen is a majority of senators will vote to disapprove of the deal struck with iran. the president, of course, vowed to veto that, if it were to come to that. it comes down to a third of the house and senate. if the senator can muster that, he can sustain the veto, it will not be overridden by opponents. it's the bar, it's low, but the president is about to meet it. all he needs is a vote. chris coles from delaware, a

surprise. comments that led many to believe he was leaning against the deal. he said as much. he doesn't like it one bit. there are expects that trouble him. iran continues in enrichment. even though a lower grade, able to maintain some of the facilities that iran used in the past to enrich the uranium, if the united states abandons the agreement, it will be standing alone in the international community. >> i will support the agreement because it puts us on a known path of limiting iran's nuclear programme for the next 15 years with the full support of the international community. the alternative to me is a scenario of uncertainty and likely isolation. >> coles has spoken with joe biden, a predecessor. as for bob casey, he made many of the same arguments, similar arguments, troubled as well. the united states can't afford to walk away from the deal,

costing the united states prestige from around the world, and do little to constrain iraq, iran, they have a free hand and revenues. >> i'm curious, congress gets back to work next week, and i suspect that there'll be an entertaining debate on this. do we have an idea when votes will be cast. >> the first are expected around the 17th. the house and senate are expected to act. there are 11 democrats on the fence, one that puts the president over the top. a lot of pressure on the next individual to step forward. >> senior washington correspondent mike viqueira for us. appreciate it. >> there has been utter chaos, outside the eastern terminal in hungary, dozens of hungarian police officers refuse to let refugees board trains headed for germany. this reverses a decision to let the desperate families leave the

country. >> reporter: germany may have been a destination they could reach on monday - not any more. refugees feared this would happen, and it did. >> what is the solution, everyone can be in our situation. make it our solution, find for us a solution. >> such a dramatics contrast to monday. now the police, instead of letting people on board the trains are stopping them getting access to the station. look at the atmosphere. these people just waiting with no word of what might happen. many of them who have bought tickets being barred from entering. the demonstrations vocal but not aggressive carried on through the day. but perhaps the dilemma the refugees are in is conveyed more by the site of exhausted

families who bought their tickets, only to be turned away. settled in the shade, wherever they could find it, refusing to be moved. the issue of free movement in europe, and the biggest refugee crisis since the world war ii is playing out in front of people, in a capital city. >> it's a shame. normal hungarian people don't want it. we would like to have them. i came here to see, and maybe i can have... >> a german politician on a fact-finding tour says she's appalled. >> it is a complete failure of human rights in europe. this is what i have to say - massive human rights violations - people sleeping on the streets for dayses and days and days. hardly any water, food. >> at the border town last week we met this 13-year-old syrian boy. he escaped dara with his sister. four days later we spot him in the crowd trying to get

information. ees frustrated. >> the police don't like the syrian, and serbia, and macedonia. in greece. >> what is your message. >> my message is please help the syrian. they need help now. you say the words. we don't want to go to europe a young voice carrying a simple message, but words that carry little weight here germany is expected to receive the lions share of refugees, 800,000 in year. last week germany eased an e.u. law so syrians could enter the country, that says refugees must apply for asylum in the country where they arrived. german chancellor angela merkel says her nation's decision to waive the rule should not be

blamed for the flood of desperate people. >> translation: quite honestly i see no responsibility on germany's part. that is no surprise and while many refugees in hungary may no longer be able to get do germany on the train. many are trying to across the boarder into neighbouring austria by other means. >> rob reynolds is in vienna for us. rob, look, my understanding is that you spent time at the border today. hungary and austria, what was that like, what do you see? >> down at the little town of nicholls dorfe, we saw austrian police manning sort of impromptu check points. in the european union they are not supposes to be borders. people are supposed to move freely between an e.u. country and another.

borders seem to spring up under the pressure of the waves of refugees, we saw austrian police stopping cars, pulling over vans, trucks, and individual vehicles to check to see if the occupants were refugees, and perhaps the drivers were smuggling human being. we saw one taxi cap coming in from -- taxi cab coming in from hungary. there was a family of six. they were from the middle east. and they were escorted out of the taxi. the taxi driver was detained. everyone was questioned. we are not allowed to talk to them. if the family - it turns out to be coming from a war torn country such as syria. they may be eligible for asylum in austria or an e.u. country, if they are from albania, not

considered an unsafe country, they might be considered economic migrants and sent back home. that is one of the collegas for the european unionists, who is coming from where. which countries are dangerous, which are not. no one is decided on behalf of the union what that is okay, what are europeans - european leaders saying about the crisis today. are there discussions, are there talks going on? what is said today? >> there's more like quarrels going on. the german chancellor - angela merkel - was at a press conference today. the prime minister of spain was visiting her, and she had to defend herself against charges by austria and hungary, that the germany liberal asylum policy is creating a magnet effect.

joining other places, a war torn or oppressive countries. she said that is not the case or the responsibility of germany. meanwhile, other countries like poland, hungary, the czech republic, slovakia, they object to a german idea of everyone in the e.u. taking a quota of the migrants. they'll have their own meeting this week to try to hash out their position in opposition to germany, and, finally, in two weeks time. by which time, of course, there'll be many thousands more refugees, the leaders of the interior ministers and justice ministers of all the e.u. countries are supposed to get together and hammer out a joint policy, plan, a common policy on migration and refugees. but so far that really has not happened yet. and things are just in a very, very unsettled state, with each

country kind of sniping at the other. >> appreciate it. great to see as always. rob reynolds in vienna. >> the pope is taking on same-sex marriage and climate change, now he is forgiving abortion. we will talk with a former nun about changes to the church. plus, the mother's army, meet a woman trying to keep the chicago streets safe from violence. rom violence.

fatherly guy who really cares about women suffering and who understanding that some women who had abortions are looking forward to reconciling about the church, and he is making it a little easier for them. at the same time he is very, very clear that the church position on abortion, which is that abortion is never permissible even to save the life of a woman, stands as it has always stood. >> he wants to be more inclusive or promote inclusiveness. there's a line, saying that the church could make more evident its mission to be a witness of mercy. what is he saying. what is he promoting here? >> well, when he first became pope, he was clear he did not want about bishops and priests

to talk about negatively all the time, all the bad things that people do - whether it's get divorced remarry, abortion. contraing essential. we have to get off the the -- contraception. we have to get off that kick and talk about the big issues that are killing the world. at the same time, i don't think he is a person that wants to hurt anyone. >> what do you expect from the pope's visit to the states later this month. is it all going to be he's a jolly good fellow, which no one can deny, or is he going to say, do some things that might stoke a little controversy on the visit? >> well, definitely, he has already angered the right wing or conservative catholics with his positions on climate, capitalism. >> that's true, yes. >> the economy.

taking care of the poor. they are not going to be happy with what he has to say. i imagine when he talks to congress, that is what hoel concentrate on. at the same time those in the church who are progressive, who would like to see changes on contraception, open to women as priests and openness around abortion. they'll be disappointed, because he's not - he'll say a few platitudes on the issues, but will not show anything that really indicates change. there's going to be something for everyone to be unhappy about. >> i was surprised by the announcement. i didn't think that he was going to inject. that's what he's done, inject the abortion issue into his trip before he gets here. and generally speaking he wants to avoid that t so from a political point of view, it was not the - i don't think it was

the wisest thing to do. from a - the point of view of compassion, i think that, you know, there are - not every catholic woman thinks she has made a mistake or committed a sin when she has an abortion. for those feeling guilty, who would like to reconcile with the church and think confession is essential, this was a kind thing to do. >> thank you for coming on the programme later this month pope francis visits the united states stopping in washington d.c., new york and philadelphia, people are expected to travel from all over to see him. one family is driving across the americas to see the pontiff. jennifer london caught up with them.
