situation. everyone can have it. make it our solution, find for us a solution. >> such dramatic contrast on 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 that have brought tickets, barred from entry into the station. demonstrations, voikal but not aggressive, carried on through the day. perhaps it is conveyed more by exhausted families that brought their tickets on the to be turned away. they settle the in the shade, wherever they could find it, refusing to move. once again the issue of free movement, and the biggest crisis since the world war ii is paying out in front of a capital city.

>> it's a shame. normal people don't want it. we want to have them. i came to see, maybe i could have a german politician on a fact-finding tour is appalled. >> it's a failure of human rights in europe. this is what i have to say. massive human rights here, people on the streets for days and days. hardly any water, hardly any food. at the border town we met a 13-year-old boy, escaping dara with his sister. four days later he spotted him in the crowd here. >> the police don't like the syrian. in serbia, macedonia, greece. >> what is the message then? >> my message. please help syria. they need help now.

you just say the word, and we don't want to the go to europe. we stop the world in syria. >> reporter: a young voice with a simple message, but words that seem to carry little weight here. >> and those are the live images right knew in budapest outside the train station. protests ongoing, and the security presence ongoing in preventing the might rants -- migrants, attempting to stop them going further. we have our correspondents updating us on a fluid situation there, which we'll update you 2,500 arrived in a port in athens, the greeks hire a ferry it to transport many. most fleeing from the war in

statements and a staples himself, he denies the charges against him patrick is a senior project leader at the institute for justice. he is also an expert on the great lakes region, and joins us on skype from cape town. good to have you with us. does this establish accountability for others accused of crimes? that region? >> yes, i think definitely it say - it's a great case showing there's a willingness on behalf of i.c.c. to deal with the atrocities committed in grc. as you know, there are so many atrocities, crimes which have been committed. and i can say that this case is somehow symbolic in that it can have an effect of deterring

crimes for those who feel going on with crimes in that country. there is so much expectations from this case. >> do you think it could help piece and stability in the d.r.c. >> this situation in d.r.c. itself is very complex, and the case of bosco by itself cannot resolve all the problem the congolese people are facing. it's a contribution towards peace and stability. in a way that it may send a message to those who are still willing to help violence to commit crimes in that country. that the world is watching and the international community is

ready to act - to stop the violence that we are observing in that country, and which have been there for a long time. >> does this sort of legal action discourage other states from involvement in the d.r.c. conflict. that's been such a big part of this story. >> it's really hard to say. in a certain way, you can prevent some of the loads to go on with the activities because they - they may think twice before acting. and of course, the good thing, for example, at that date or the about the government which is supporting the groups and the insurgencies, i think it's also a message that there is a need for accountability.

and it can also help in a certain way in stopping the extent to which the crimes can be commit. and they - it's also reducing the support from those actors which are working goodnight the scenes, supporting all people who involved in committing crimes in d.r.c. >> patrick, thank you for your thoughts. >> at least 18 turks are among 20 workers who have been kidnapped by masked men in baghdad. they were taken from a construction site in the north-eastern district early on wednesday. turkey's deputy prime minister says he's in contact with iraqi officials about the investigation gaza could be uninhabitable in less than five years time.
