faces. but it is not something that starts and finishes that day. it is here to stay. the sooner we accept it, accept it, the sooner we'll be able to respond in an effective way, and manage in an effective way. >> let's bring in jacky rowland, in luxembourg, watching that unfold.

what sort of measures is she talkg about here, jackie. >> well, measures that will be discussed in more detail in 10 days time, when there's a summit on this subject in brussels between european leaders. in particular, i think what a number of foreign ministers have highlighted is the clear failure of existing un policy regarding asylum. the system at the moment is that if someone wishes to claim asylum in an e.u. country, they have to do so at the port of entry. for example, someone arriving on the greek island or someone in hungary would, under the current system, have to claim asylum there, that doesn't work, because places that people are aiming to is places like germany, where there's an offer to take up to 800,000 syrian refugees. so this system at the moment clearly doesn't work, and so ministers will be looking at

ways to have, for example, some kind of european-wide asylum system, whereby, for example, a refugee could be registered at their point of arrival. that wouldn't commit them to stay here, they could be matched with a place elsewhere, where they could be provided with shelter and protection. it's worth pointing out as well that there's two sides to the coin. at the same time the e.u. would be looking at ways to identify which countries they do not consider dangerous places, places where people are facing the risk of war tore persecution. they would set up mechanisms by which to identify a person coming to europe to look for work. in those cases they would not be given asylum, they would be required to leave. these mechanisms that ministers need to look at and, jacky, they talk about the root causes and dealing with those. specifically syria and libya,

that's a claim. how will they do that? that's not something they come up with solutions for. the crisis has been dragging on, and the absence of any easy solution is abundantly clear for anyone to see. the kind of measures that fredder eega mogga reeny suggested or mentioned at the news conference at the end of the meeting here was, for example, in her words, working to support the establishment of a government of national unity in libya. that would be able to bring a country together. easier said than done. on a subject in the syria, she highlighted the recent iran nuclear deal, feeling that this with iraq, with iran, could possibly offer new opportunities, new perspective

of how to tackle the syrian crisis. again, no detail there. these and more subjects will be discussed in brussels on 14 september. clearly no one realistically expects any quick solution, bearing in mind how long and how entractible the crisis have been. >> we look forward to that next meeting. thank you for that, jacky rowland. more ahead on the newshour. >> moving home - residents from a town evacuated after the japan nuclear disaster, gets the green light to move home. japanese comics manga cartoons. and tom brady cleared after the deflate-gate scandal. jo will have more in sports. the united arab emirates declared three days of mourning

for 45 soldiers killed in yemen. the bodies arrived in abu dhabi, they died after a rocket hit a base, storing ammunition. it was a single biggest loss of life for gulf soldiers in decades. let's bring in a security analyst, specialising in gulf affairs. good to have you on the show. what do you believe happened? what went so wrong for the soldiers? >> it's hard to tell at this stage. i am sure there'll be implication, and - but we are in a war zone. this is something expected. i mean, it would have been a surprise if they were killed at the base at home. but they were killed in a war

zone. so any country entering a military conflict is to expect to have casualties in that conflict. >> yet it's a small country, and a terribly big loss of life - sorry for jumping in. >> i know, i know. >> do you think it will impact on public support for their operations there? >> well, also this remains to be seen, but i think from the general consensus we have in the ue and many of the gulf countries, that belief that there is a real credible threat in what is happening in yemen, with iran's help. taking over the country, posing a danger, a security danger, a

threat to the nation of the g.c.c., and that is what prompted them to be part of the coalition that is getting the houthis back, getting them out of the cities of sanaa and of yemen, and restoring the legitimate government to bring back order into the country. >> okay. >> i think, you know, the government, as well as the people, believe in the mission over there. >> other than the air strikes, i mean, what are the soldiers doing there? can you give us a sense of what their mission is on the ground. why they were there? >> apparently from what we have been seeing over the past few weeks, there's land forces from some gulf countries, including the. ae, that provided land systems,

that helped top provide qualitative edge and technology to the yemeni forces forces lal to abd-rabbu mansour hadi, the legitimate president of yemen. they were providing ammunition, logistical support. air support and so forth. the land forces were supporting the land operations. logistically, operationally, as well as with fire power and special operations units. these were the backup forces that are helping the main yemeni armed forces along with the yemeni resistance, that are battling houthis, and driving them back, uprooting them and men cities from the south and moving to the north. >> thank you very much.

we'll leave it there. i want to update the story. we are getting confirmation that 10 saudi soldiers have been killed. we believe it is linked to the same explosion. that takes the figure up to 60 people killed in that attack on friday at least 13 iraqi soldiers have been killed in separate attacks by i.s.i.l. fighters, the assaults happening at military positions north and south of the city of ramadi. 40 other iraqi soldiers were injured. pro-government forces are trying to retake the city which was seized by i.s.i.l. in may. six syrian soldiers were reported to be killed following a car bomb. on friday, 36 people died, including prominent druze leader. his death leading to anti-government protest. the government denying protests

in the killing. >> justice and development party, known as a p.j. d is known as making big gains. the report is likely to be in charge, most of morocco's big cities. >> he's at the height of his career. the leader of the conservative pgd, a small opposition party. now it's one of the country's most popular and well run. >> we run an efficient government. the local councils we leader the best. we are honest with the people. we asked them to help us. this is why the results are good. >> for others, the vote has been a disaster. this is the leader of the independence. he lost his seat, and his party was dealt a humiliating defeat. the vote was rigged.

accusations admitsed by the pgd. in the city. the rival is known for rigging votes. we have always been victims, our rival has a since of responsibility. >> pgd's main rivals have no other option but to reinvent themselves in order to win the trust of the general electorate. >> it has what i would call a symbolic capital. it is a recent party. people do see it for the time being as an alternative. and there is also symbolic capital about the pgd in the sense that a number of leaders are sort of seen as close to the moroccan population, through the popular classes. it says that it's willing to team up with allies to solve morocco's pressing problems. youth unemployment. poverty and corruption.

>> we are ready to get into coalition with allies, making sure that living conditions will be improved. the results are a message that moroccans are fed up with mismanagement. for the time being we'll wait is see if the conservatives deliver on the promises. clamping down on corruption, and improving people's lives. they achieve many parties. it's in the government. it has control of the regions and local councils. its main goal is to win a majority of the parliament. if that happens, the pgd will become the biggest political block let's get the weather with rob. tornado's heading to japan, how many are we looking at here? >> we don't tend to get many in japan, this is not a major one. 15, maybe 20.

caught on camera. >> somewhere. it's a water spout to start with. they are common around the coast of many countries, on land, they are called tornados. this one, luckily, on the scale really, and ripped off a load of plastic. no fatalities, small amount of damage. since it happened, the cloud moves on. you wouldn't forecast it now, a big break in the cloud. more rain on the way. it's a normal occurrence. particularly this year. i wouldn't forecast tornados with that. now, on the subject of rain, of any sort. let's head to hawaii, we've been here a couple of times in the last week or so. lastly because of the surrounding hurricanes. there's one, i'm not talking about hurricanes, but rain induced. mainly to set up the gear in relation to the hurricanes, we are in honolulu, for the second time in 10 days there has been

flooding. more fun than dangers. these are the streets of honolulu. a proximity of the hurricane probably doesn't amount to very much. although it's not very close, it's course might take it a little closer than you like. >> thank you for that the united nations says a drought in northern ethiopia means around 4.5 million people could need food aid. it could be a problem for the economy, as agriculture generates half of the country's income. charles stratford reports. life was difficult enough for this man and his family of nine before the failure. this year, he and millions of farmers like him across ethiopia will face a tougher struggle to survive. >> there's nothing we can do. we don't have enough crops to provide for families. we are having to sell the cows, they are sick, because they don't have enough to eat.

the only chance we have is selling belongings to keep the families alive. >> a foreign aid organization built the well in the 1980s, breaking down, and people saying no one in the village knows how to repair it. ethiopia is heavily dependent on farmers like boucher. agriculture accounts for half the country's g.d.p. arrived three-quarters of the population are farmers. boucher grows corn and wheat. this time last year, he was getting ready to pick his crops. he harvested enough to provide food for his family and pocket around 3,000. this year he'll get virtually nothing. >> a walk through the field shows how devastating the effects and the lack of rains had on the crops. these plants should come up to my shoulder by now. at this time of year. look at the size of this cob.

this, by now, should be around about a foot long. the plants are dying, and experts say it doesn't matter how much it rains between now and the end of the season. there's nothing that can be done to save them. meteorologist are are blaming the drought on a weather phenomenon. el nino. in ethiopia. el nino brought dry trade wins, experts say they warned the government. especially in the temporal provision. it is very low. as korm paired to past black compared to past el nino event. >> they've been allocated money to deal with the crisis. the drought can leave $4.5 million for food aid. >> >> translation: when we were informed about the problem.

the fall government and regional state authorities started a programme for effected people. at this moment. there was enough food at depots, and distributing it. around 20 million people live below the poverty line in ethiopia. surviving on less than $$1.25 a day. many are farmers like boucher, and they need help from foreign donors in order to survive. >> still to come - a window into a lost civilisation. why jordan's tourism industry is it in trouble. and another poll position for lewis hamilton ahead of the italian grand prix. joe jo will have the details in sport.

hello again. here are the headlines. a first train carrying refugees from london arrived in southern germany. the police say they expect up to 10,000 people in the coming hours and in greece, authorities in ley boss say they were overwhelmed by the numbers of refugees arriving every day. there's about 25,000 refugees there, and the mayor says the government declared a state of emergency. meanwhile e.u. foreign ministers are meeting in luxembourg to discuss the refugee crisis. europe urgently needs to agree to a common response to the situation because it is not going to end any time soon. >> hundreds more people left the

capital. walking towards the border with austria. let's cross to andrew simmonds in budapest. looking at the picture behind you. quite amazed to see so many people there. i was given the impression this people leading in their droves. what is it suggested that is going on. >> you are right on both counts. they are moving in the droves, when more than 100 buses are involved in the operation, in the small hours of saturday. the place was cleared. most left here, a handful remained. now, in the time since it was cleared. you see there are more and more arriving. the reason for that is not just because of those crossing the border, people leaving refugee camps. camps where there is free access in and out. they have heard buses are going across the border, and they come here, and are inquiring and

stopped asking which way, which way to the buses. they still think it's going on. it isn't. it's been stopped and the border closed to refugees. not only using more here, but one floor down on a concourse. a makeshift refugee camp, squalid conditions down there, that is filling out as well. people - boarding trains. to the border. they are still rather concerned. they are hearing - because they are hearing that the buses are giving free access, they are trusting the trains more. a lot of people are boarding trains, and not only that. people are also walking. some 3-4, 500 left here, with the same route in mind, as that massive march on friday. however, the hungary government is saying that unlike friday, they will not be cooperating in

the way they did. they will not give them access to the motorways, there is concern about that group, as to whether or not the police will stop them or deter them or persuade them or what. a confused picture. hungary said it was going to solve a crisis with the new laws stopping migration on september the 15th, and now we are in a situation whereby we are getting a gradual move to the same picture we saw at the beginning of the week. >> what about the army, will it go to the border? >> it can go to the border. they have legal right to do so. and there is talk of that happening. no actual orders yet. parliament past a raft of measures on friday. at the same time as all those desperate people were walking 30km towards the west. the parliamentarian were passing really right wing measures that

would make clear to everyone that economic migrants will get turned around right away. refugees will not have the rights they used to, applying for asylum. they'll have a series of camps set up on the razor wire fence which is 3.5 meters high. the camps will be on the no man's land side. with an open door back to serbia. basically what viktor orban, the hungarian prime minister is saying is 99%, possibly 100% will be sent back to serbia. and serbia is concerned with how it will cope with the numbers. it's an appalling picture. hungary, viktor orban taking a solid stance. at the same time after talks in brussels with the european commission. the president has said that he may now agree to a quota of

refugees, unlike other eastern european members of the e.u., he may agree to a quota. he's been against it all along. what persuaded him to go down the line is unclear at the moment. >> thank you at least 10,000 protesters are marching in southern nepal, carrying the bodies of five demonstrators killed during earlier rally members. members are protesting against a new draft constitution. it proposes separating them. representation will be limited it's been 4.5 years since radiation leaks started at the fukushima plant in japan, a nearby town that has evacuated has been reopened to residents. not everyone is convinced it's time to go home. as caroline malone reports.

>> reporter: 4.5 years ago life here changed forever. it was contaminated by radiation from the nearby fukushima plant. more than 7,000 people were evacuated. now some of them are thinking about going back. while there are still uneasy feelings, i feel very strongly about returning back home. >> reporter: the government says the radiation is down to a safe level. >> the real construction starts about now. >> only 100 households have returned. many people say the town is not liveable. >> translation: the situation now is like using the house as a place to camp occupant. you can sleep her with utilities like food and water. how do we buy groceries, and how do we live here for an extended period of time.

>> there's the question of health and safety. greenpeace researched safety in the fukushima region, and says other areas of the government wants to reopen are not safe. >> it cannot be decontaminated. it's practically impossible. what is happening is a tiny percentage is decontaminated, and people who have an outdoor life in that area are pushed back. forced back actually to lift in an area which is heavily contaminated. and that is unacceptable. people returning will be exposed. it is important that the vast majority of the population opportunity want to return. >> reporter: the fukushima plant was hit by a tsunami in 2011. it caused radiation to leak into the surrounding environment. 70,000 had to be evacuated. some are happy to go home, doubts linger. it's no longer life as they knew

it japan is said to start the whaling operation. despite a ban on commercial whaling. japan uses a provision allowing whales to be built for scientific purposes. there are plans to take 51 whales. a whaling expert from macquarie university in sydney joins us. >> the problem we have is that we have killed a lot of whales under the scientific program, but japan has not used the science to improve our understanding of whether or not the fishery is going to be sustainable. and so they have a lot of data which they have not used to quantify why they they've been killing them in the first place. japan is the only country that has this with the rationale that it is for scientific purposes. there's whaling by other

countries, in groups from canada and from alaska, and there's norway does commercial whaling and iceland. whales are killed in korea. but they were under the indigenous traditional harvest option. they just apply a revised management procedure process. japan didn't take the option of doing commercial whaling when the i.c.c. put them in place. they said they would like to do it on a scientific basis. that's where they have fallen flat. >> guatemala's former president appears in court denying accusations of corruption. they were accused of making part of the custom's scans. after congress stripped them of his immunity following months of protest. the attorney-general told al jazeera they have no doubt that

perez molina is guilty. >> i was worried and ge seized. like thousands or millions of guatemalans, we thought we had ta good president that would fight crime in the country. he deceived us, found to be involved in the criminal network. daniel schweimler takes up the store from guatemala city. >> reporter: guatemala lives a turbulent history. for the second day prisoning, former president molina appeared in court on corruption charges. the judge suspended the proceedings on tuesday, remanding him amid fears he may flee the country. the interim president sworn in on thursday is getting to grips with the country that he'll be governing for 133 days. he stands down in the middle of jrn. he took type of out from his busy schedule to talk to al jazeera, and told us he'd try to ensure all members of the

governments were free of the corruption that plagued guatemala in recent years. when you woke up monday, tuesday morning, did you in your wildest dreams end the week thinking you would be president of your country. >> the truth is the president told me about his intention to resign before going to court. it was only a question of hours until that medicine was taken. i was ready. this is not the outcome i wanted. i only agreed to be vice president to smooth the constitutional transition, it was a change i had to take. >> you had 133 days in office. what can you do in that time. what will you do in that time, before you leave office in january? >> translation: many, many things. we have sa task motivating the country. i had a task of choosing a government, made up of tried and trusted matured people who believed in the institutions. but also wanting to incorporate

youngsters. social activists, giving the generations, the opportunity to build the future. >> how can you be sure the new people will be clear of corruption. >> i believe that the risk of corruption turning unlikely. the collapse suffered was deep. it would dissuade others. >> what role did the johnny gaudreau people have to say. >> we have elections in a few hours time. this is an opportunity. as i have said. they cannot rest. they must keep the pressure on the politicians, the media must investigate. and accompany him. if we go back to sleep. the corruption will return. it's a plague trusting everything it is the start of a school year, classes have been closed. tens of thousands of teachers are protesting against the budget cuts.

we have this report. >> students out protesting when they should be studying much hundreds of schoolchildren and parents took to the streets. it's harts of a protest movement. slashing funding for christian schools that have 33,000 students. this man's two sons are at a christian school. the family out protest something. >> there are systematic policies against the schools. the aim is to shut down the schools. they wouldn't have done the cut backs if that was not the case. what should i do with the schoolchildren. this is where he should be, the courtyard in romly. with the fellow students, enjoying the first week of classrooms. like other schools, teachers and the students are on strike. talks between the officials and the ministry of education broke

down. some feel the budget cuts are a way to force the status as u.n. official and recognised as official. if we become an official school. it will change the structure of the school. if we are not in charge of all these things. why are they here? >> administrators say there has been a steady funding. described by one school official. the government restricts how much the schools can charge for tuition. the government says it's not trying to shut the schools. >> christian schools have a similar budget like other jewish schools. they get 65% to 75%. there has not been any change. there's no intention to hurt them. the ministry wants to help the schools with the uniqueness. that has proven to be successful.

one-third of university students in israel came from christian schools. something that will no doubt be affected if the dispute is not dissolved. and the gates of the schools remain shut jordan's government is launching a new campaign to lure tourists. they've been getting fewer visitors than normal, leaving an important archeological site in the world empty. we have more. >> empty information and dick et booths at one of the new seven wonders of the world. horses that should be out pulling carriages are standing idol during the start of the even. they used to be bustling with tourists, walking down to the cities elack rate ruins, because of turmoil around the borders, western tourists have been hesitant to come here. the sharp drop in tourism is based on a missed perception

that jordyn is not safe. we were wary, we did a bit of research, everything on the internet was positive. absolutely no one was saying anything detrimental about the country. since we have been here, we have had nothing but welcoming people >> reporter: nearly 3,000 tourists visited. but the numbers went down during the arab spring. the area in front of the treasurer u was packed with tourists taking pictures, cueing for camel rides. the numbers of tourists dropped by 80% petra residents who rely on tourism say they are suffering. >> i used to make more than $400

a day in camel rides. if i'm lucky i make around $30. that's just enough to feed and look after my camels. >> some go as far as blaming >> some go as far as blaming c western embassies for issuing advisories that they encourage nationals. the government has a budget to promote aboard. and tap into the new markets, in the far east and eastern europe. >> a campaign will be conducted internationally. we'll look at the least sensitive markets for us and the largest for us that we are working on. making sure that traffic is coming back. sooner, rather than later. >> in petra city. 10 hotels have been forced to shut down. more than 1,000 employees have been laid off over the last year. many hope that the beauty and safety will bring the tourists to this ancient town.
