>> announcer: this is al jazee jazeera. ♪ hello and a warm welcome to the news hour, i'm laura kyle in doha. angry protests of budapest main rail way station remains closed to refugees and the plea for help from one 13-year-old boy. >> needs help now. you just have the war and don't want to go to europe. just stop the war this year.

>> reporter: the congoleze pleads not guilty in the hague and warns that it could make gaza uninhabitable in less than five years. south africa rugby team going to the world cup after a court case over the racial makeup of their squad is dropped. ♪ thousands of refugees are still being denied access to budapest's main rail way station. in the live shots of a number of refugees, you can see there they are milling around outside that station, hungarian police are preventing anyone without a valid eu visa from entering the building, andrew simmons is at

the train station in budapest and joins us from there now and these refugees have now been for a long time, what is the situation like? >> that is right, it's two days laura and the situation if anything the resolve is firmer than ever, it ebbs and flows, the situation here with demonstrations, very loud and then you the moving other side of the station and then going down to what is known as effectively a transit zone which has been around since this crisis started, now it's fuller than ever. but the situation gets more tense as well. there has been a situation whereby they have been trying to close off and successful in doing so that side of the station over there and riot police came in fully clad in their gear with pepper spray, standing right in front of

demonstrators. in fact, there was only a meter between the two lines. but it passed by peacefully, the riot police are still there, people are reforming and so the situation right now remains tense but without any specific action. but this is how things have been developi developing. [chanting] germany may have been a destination they could reach on monday but not anymore. refugees had feared this would happen and it did. >> tell us a solution, everyone can be in our situation. and it can happen on our own and please make a solution, please find for us a solution. >> reporter: such dramatic contrast on monday, now the police instead of letting people on board the trains are stopping them from getting access to the station and look at the atmosphere, these people just waiting with no word of what might happen, so many of them

who have already bought tickets have been barred from entry into the station. the demonstrations are vocal but not aggressive carried on right through the day but perhaps the dilemma the refugees are in are conveyed more by exhausted families who bought their tickets only to be turned away. they settled in the shade, wherever they could find it refusing to move, once again the issue of free movement in europe and the big esz -- biggest refugee crisis since the second world war are playing out in front of people in the city. >> it's a shame because people don't want it. we just would like to have them so i came here to see and maybe i can have. >> reporter: a german politician on a fact-finding tour says she is appalled. >> complete failure of human rights in europe. this is what i have to say. massive human rights violations

here, people sleeping on the streets for days and days and hardly any water, hardly any food. >> reporter: at the border town last week we met this 13-year-old syrian boy, he escaped with his sister. four days later we spot him in the crowd here trying to get information but he is frustrated. >> the police don't like a decision and serbia and macedonia and greece. >> reporter: so what is your message then? >> my message please help syria, syria needs help now and we don't want to go to europe. just stop the war, just that. >> reporter: a young voice carrying a simple message but words that seem to carry little weight here. the situation is quite critical, certainly in humanitarian terms

in terms of getting food and water to so many people here. with me right now is martha kiss who joined migration aid that is really a group that has been formed by social networking and people volunteers bringing food to people. >> yes. >> reporter: so when did you join? >> i joined on monday with my husband. we came in the morning to volunteer with them. >> reporter: and what motivated you to do that? >> well, my father and my grandfather were refugees in the 1956 revolution in hungry. my husband is an iranian refugee living here. and we saw how desperate the situation was over the weekend and we just decided if we could do anything that we would. >> reporter: and what do you make of this, this situation these refugees are in? >> i just think it's heartbreaking, unbelievably sad but these people are escaping persecution in their own country, getting, you know, their families are being killed and they just want a safe life

for them and their kids and they are coming here and being treated like criminals. >> reporter: what sort of backing are you getting as an organization in terms of donations and things like that from hungarian people? >> from hungarian citizens we are getting donations of you know food and water and clothes, things that people need and i think money as well. but it's just donations from citizens. there is no support from any, you know, government organizations or anything from the state. >> what is your take on the government's line on this, if anything it's getting much harder and want to make it more difficult for refugees to cross the border and want to turn around and send them back. >> yes, this has been going on for a few months actually because there has been billboards, i think almost for a year saying that we don't want my m i grants to take the jobs

and they don't want to stay in hungry and i don't understand what is the problem and they have already started to try to do some kinds of anti-immigration campaign in hungry and i mean it's just awful. >> reporter: many observers say it's for political reasons because it banded to the far right and bring the far right on board and put them in a better position to continue in power. >> yes, i think so too but i don't understand how anyone can support this but unfortunately it seems there are a lot of people. >> reporter: do you think that this will be resolved peacefully? what is your impression when you talk to people here, you are obviously meeting people all the time. >> yes, i hope something can help, someone can help or i heard the problem is you never know what to believe when you hear things so we have heard that germany and austria are welcoming these people and hungry is the one that is holding them back because of the

dublin act but then yesterday i also heard that maybe germany wasn't so welcoming so unfortunately i don't know what is really going on but what i think needs to happen is that the people from the eu need to get together and figure some kind of resolution. i heard that on thursday the prime minister will meet in brussels and maybe they can work something out to help get these people out because they don't want to be here. >> help in the humanitarian struggle here, i can tell you that the government spokesperson has said a few hours back now that this government is committed to the rule of law in the eu, that visas are needed to pass through on to the trains here and he has also said that as far as the people here are concerned they shouldn't be in this position and should not be here, they should be in particular camps that are registered all over the country

and so what will happen here is unclear. it's not a clear situation at all. laura? >> andrew it's not indeed and we will keep a close eye on events going on there in hungry and despite the crack down there many are still attempting to make the dangerous journey to europe. 11 syrians have drown and five missing after their boat sank near the turkish resort town of bodrum and at least three children are among the victims and they ran pictures of their bodies washing up along the shore. pictures we decided not to show and trying to make the short trip to the greek island. 2 1/2 thousand people arrive at the port in athens, the greek government has charted a ferry to transport refugees arriving on an island and most of them have flood the war in syria. other news in former rebel in

uganda is on trial at the hague forward crimes and include rape, murder and recruitment of child soldiers and barnabie is live at the hague and what have you been hearing there? >> well, we heard the prosecution outline the bones of the case that are against him. he had the chance to plead, he pleaded not guilty to all 18 charges of rape, of murder, of crimes against humanity. we did hear some pretty graphic evidence of massacres of civilians, all pertains to the province, a certain part of northeast congo in a certain timeframe, 2002-2003 when he was a malitia leader. now, he -- the focus of the trial is only on that narrow period and this has led to some criticism from human rights groups because of course he was very much at large for many more

years. he only handed himself in to the american embassy in neighboring rwanda in 2013 and icc simply didn't have the resources to carry out an investigation over such a large period, it prepered to focus on the narrow timeframe back 13 years ago and hopes by that means to secure a prosecution. we will hear from the defense and we hope from he himself tomorrow here in the hague. >> reporter: why is this such an important trial for the icc? >> well it's no secret that the icc has had its fair share of critics. i would imagine those criticisms will continue for as long as it focuses narrowly on africa, that attack will come out that it is not looking at human rights abuses in other parts of the world. and even in africa a criticism

you often hear is that it has failed to secure the indictments or the prosecutions of the really big officials, of course for example that the attempted trial of the kenya president fell apart, the indictment of the sudan president has been out there several years but as of yet the icc has failed to bring him to justice, having said all that i think people in the eastern congo that felt so me neglected by the community and suffered for almost two decades now this is an important moment and a moment of accountability, some criticism here in the hague but the trial could not take place in eastern congo, there are people that would prefer but there are threats against witnesses but it is felt the safety is simply not for safety reasons it simply wasn't possible to hold a trial here.

having said all that and there will be many people in the eastern congo who will feel that perhaps they are not living in such a forgotten corner of the world after all and that is to the icc credit. >> it's time before we see the verdict and thanks for much for the update. still ahead on this al jazeera news hour the stink on the streets of lebanon and anger against the stagnant political class, plus. i'm rory in the wide open spaces of far eastern russia, there are not many people who live out here but that doesn't mean that those who do want to share it with the chinese, keep watching and find out why. and joe will be telling you how tennis bad boy let the u.s. open escape from his fingers. ♪

baghdad and taken from ap construction site in the northeastern district earlier on wednesday. after weeks of demonstrations people in lebanon are waiting for both the prime minister and the you stink campaign to announce their next moves and in a moment we will go live to beirut and let's look at some of the big moments so far from the garbage revolution. [gunfire] [chanting] we want to show them they can demand for something new and demand for the rights as a citizen and living in a nation, the basic that you have in most nations agree. >> even a simple issue such as

collecting garbage from the street which is supposed to come as a normal thing but any population on any government is becoming an issue of sectarian question. [chanting] one of the you stink organizers joins me live from beirut. great to have you with us. what is the next move? >> good evening. well yesterday we went to the ministry of environment and we had made an establishment yesterday by keeping the minister in the ministry eight years in iraq and for eight times in a row this is

achievement by itself. what we plan to do is we called for demonstrations in all regions of lebanon to take place and also calling to participate in a bigger demonstration to happen on the 9th of september where all the political leaders will be meeting in the parliament in that fashion. >> this is a temporary accomplishment, isn't it? do you think anyone in government is actually listening and willing to act on your demands? >> definitely not. we have been testing this government at only for a week as i mentioned before, we have been in the streets for more than a month and a half now and we are having demands and calling for resignation of the environment and holding acs for everyone ordered and civilians in the last two weeks after the minister of interior that is holding a press conference and freeing the money of municipalities so they can collect the garbage and calling for parliamentary elections and

the government until now and parliament t shut their eyes and ears and have not listened to the streets and we said this is a civil rights movement and a movement that is peaceful and it's calling the streets and still holding the streets, we urge them to listen to the streets, give the people their demands or else we cannot control the streets for too long. >> as you said it seems the government is not acting on any of your demands from the demands of the streets and have been interests of the protests turning violent, what are your fears there will be more violence as the government fails to act? >> until now the violence is coming from one source, it's coming from the source of the system itself, the system does not appreciate having 100,000 plus people on the streets on last saturday the 29th and do not understand how it was able that without using any sectarianism label 100,000 people run down to the streets

holding one flag. so they are trying to fight this movement and trying to use the media to hijack it and when they failed with it they are trying to use the media to make sectarian comments about the movement and this is something we refuse and they are trying to bash and dishonor the people who are leading these demonstrations and finally they are trying to send some thugs like we have seen in a lot of arab countries before so that they can create violence and deep tour of the demonstrations from their actual goals. we tell these people in charge now regardless of their political orientation and regardless if they support the 14th of march coalition, if they keep playing with the streets it will fire back at you. people will not listen to what you are calling them and where you are holding them in the streets and nobody is a winner. let's go back to democracy and let's go back to the institutions we have, to the parliament, the government and presidency and let's make them work again or else the only people to be blamed for anything that is going to happen on the

streets are the people who are in charge and in power now and not the peaceful demonstrators. >> great to have you with us and thanks for joining with us and we are keeping up with the interior press conference in lebanon and bring you news as we get it, thanks very much. u.n. special on freedom of expression condemned the sentencing of three journalists in egypt and they were given three years in prison after a retrial. mohamed received an extra six months for having a used bullet casing in his pocket, greste who is from australia and supported in february and tried in absent and say they are simply doing their jobs. the press club have held up signs to expression solidarity with the journalists and the club's president says there is one simple message for the

phoenix and probably will prompt another thunderstorm and not just them but new mexico and could be there and the line extends through baja, california as you can see and a long way north, this could be a start of a change, could it not? anyway that is the picture over the next two days. as i say it goes beyond baja, california and goes to developing here which might turn out to be a hurricane and might drift up to baja and it's not known but hurricanes are a bit further into the pacific and a string of three which one says they are all quite strong and are just, just missing hawaii, laura? >> rob, thanks for much, investigators in the u.s. state of texas are examining videos that appear to show police shooting and killing a man with his hands up. a series of fatal police shootings in the last year sparked protests and increased police tactics and we are have the report. >> reporter: u.s. law enforcement has had a very bad

begun outside the court as people gather early on and tom is live from baltimore and we will talk about the protests in just a moment and first of all tell us what is going on inside the courtroom today. >> yes, the six officers actually are not present but their lawyers will be arguing before the judge, first of all that the case should be dismissed, that is improbable and probably won't hear a ruling by the judge today and also want to separate the trials of the six officers and serious charge one of them charged with second-degree murder, others with manslaughter and the rest with more minor charges. but also this is will come at a later hearing to take this case out of the city of baltimore and to put it in another venue where supposedly the atmosphere according to the police at least would be less prejudicial against them. the demonstrators who have been

demonstrating outside here also are arguing against or pleading that the judge not heed the lawyers, the police lawyers appeal to have the prosecutor here removed from the case on a contention that she has filed or has made some prejudicial statements which would alter the outcome unfairly. so the case itself, the trial itself is scheduled to under go and get underway about a month from now. meanwhile the demonstrators here have been rather sparse today, much smaller crowd and maybe 30 or 40 compared to the thousands who were on the streets just a few months ago right after the deaths. >> absolutely. let's talk about the atmosphere there. these protest we can see small numbers gathering today but generally is it still pretty tense in baltimore since the riots? >> well, actually in terms of

organized demonstrations, civil unrest you cannot say that has happened but what has been the case has been a sharp up swings in homicides and in 34 days there have been 34 killings in baltimore, more than one a day and 45 which broke a 43 year record and according to some of the police or those who defend the police actions they say the police have been told to stand down or had been told to stand down which was one of the contributing causes of unrest following the death of freddie gray but right now the question here is whether the calls for more vigilance by the police outweigh especially in the communities that are really crime ridden whether the calls really outway the calls of these people who are calling for justice by the courts and by the justice system against police in

weapons. those same tunnels used to also bring in basic goods in and out of the strip. and without the materials to rebuild people still live in the rubble of the 2014 war. u.n. says gaza is unable to produce for its own market let alone export. people are dependent on international humanitarian aid. unemployment and poverty is at an all-time high. the deputy director of the palestinian center for human rights. >> what is needed for gaza is to list the immediate leader, a blockade of the closure by israel which is the main and root cause behind all sufferings of the gaza population. the as set to gaza is not dumping money, we have petition in gaza for economic development but what hinders economic

development this gaza is merely israeli policy, is merely the closer and the other reflections imposed on gaza. >> reporter: indian workers holding a one-day strike against labor reforms and called for by ten trade unions who say the government and prime minister modi is ignoring worker rights and they have privatization and foreign cutback and objecting to price hikes caused by rising inflation and we have more from new deli. >> thousands of workers walked off the job in india particularly in the banking and transport sectors, unhappy about a number of things but in particular protesting against the government's plan to sell off the company to generate more revenue for the indian economy and don't want the power of trade unions to be diluted in the sector and say the trade unions are integral in protecting the rights of many millions of workers. essentially this strike, this day of national action by the

hectors wouldn't really bother anyone but this issue taps into deeply held russian insecuritys about how long it can hold this sparsely populated territory against the billion or so chinese just south of the border. >> translator: people are afraid that the lands will become a small colony, it will be colonized by the chinese. by russian law anyone born in our territory becomes a russian citizen. can you imagine how many thousands of workers will come here in 50 years it will be a chinese province. >> reporter: the governor's office said they couldn't fit our interview request into their schedule but insist chinese investment will boost the economy of this region and create jobs. indeed since ukraine's crisis poisoned relations with the west a blizzard of contracts, deals

and memoranda have been signed augmenting a russian/chinese partnership. this analyst is not convinced though and think there is little genuine substance to most of it. >> there is not any real development in the economic cooperation. so it's much more politics than economics but at the same time the population has some concern about this. it's more irrational fear because there is not any attempt from any side to make any drastic steps toward russian territory. >> reporter: some chinese are here though and towel in the fields and greenhouses and have places in the markets but you could hardly call it an invasion.
