>> police say that they expect up to 10,000 people in the coming hours. austria has said it will not use force to stop thousands of refugees who are coming into that country. 4,000 people have arrived so far. further east in macedonia, more refugees are making the same journey walking along railway lines hopefully that they'll reach safety and chance of a better life. in greece boats continue to arrive. there are now around 15,00 15,000 refugees on the island of lesbos. let's go to andrew simmons who are on the outskirts of th the

hungarian capital of budapest. tell us what is going on where you are, andrew. >> a very long trail of refugees have just passed this point. the reason why you can't see them any more is that they've veered off. they've been watching their gpss and they're concerned being taken off the motor way. they've been refused access from the motor way. that is where the marchs on friday had been. they went right up to the motor way to the county where the buses arrived and took them to the border. these people believe in their hearts and in their minds that they're going to find buses at some point in this route. but when they were taken--refused access to the motor way they came along this main road. now the police have gone after them, but behind us, this busch over here be they've gone after them. whether they'll strike to bring them back is another matter. there are a few refugees and

helpers here now. helpers, who have given them water, business cuts, energy bars and fruit. there are far fewer in this march than the one on friday. but they hope that they'll get buses across the border. but the border is closed at the moment, and they've been telling me the organizers and the men and women were telling me earlier that they're intent on doing the whole march if they have to because they have no other option. they don't trust the trains. now back at budapest there have been many refugees boarding domestic trains to the border, barbara, but they don't have any option of getting on international trains. there is once again confusion reining. also at that station we're seeing large numbers of refugees settling down in the place where others are taken on buses overnight early saturday morning in convoy of buses towards the

border. there are at least 1,000 there now. you have really the same situation developing all over again just with slightly fewer numbers. >> we were told that some refugees have been taken to reception centers there in hungary. reception centers that journalists have not been able to see. what kind of reception are there for many refugee who is are arriving into hundredry into hungary now. >> those reception centers are part of the process, where the laws will be implemented. refugees go into the reception centers. they're in poor conditions because they're overcrowded. they'll be registered, given a number, given a wristband and

then given proper papers to travel to another refugee camp in central hungary, one of five, actually, and that is really a process for political asylum. but as of september 15th the sentence will be part of the razor wire fence. they will be built within the fence effectively with a very fast track process for asylum placings within a matter of days, sometimes hours. the rejects will be sent back into serbia. economic migrants will be automatically september back to serbia, and the army is likely to be deployed at any time because there are laws allowing them to go to the border to implement what it describes as criminal law. anyone entering can be jailed up to three years or ejected from the country, barbara. >> andrew, thank you. well, some of the refugees

who have been stuck in hungary have now reached germany. we have more on them. >> they made it here. exhausted, but smiling with relief. men, women, and children. hundreds have already arrived in germany, a res spit from what must have seemed like an never-ending journey. but many are waiting to arrive in germany. lines after lines of exhausted people looking for a way out. extra buses have been brought out to cope with the numbers. it has forced europe to reconsider its buckling asylum system. what is going on beyond it's borders can no longer be ignored.

and finding a solution has only caused friction. >> what has been happening in hungary since last night is a consequence of two things. first, the failure of the migration policy of the european union. the second one is the serious irresponsible statements made. >> yet, for these people each step of their journey is a hopeful one. for some to have made it this far is a miracle in itself. >> now we are free. four and five days in hungary. we're in very bad condition. >> back in hungary, those who have fled war and conflict seek escape from another pressing predicament. many more are waiting, sleeping in the station underpass. there are others who are sure to

follow. al jazeera. >> well, one of the main pressure points for the crisis is the greek island of lesbos. we are there with more. >> hundreds, sometimes thousands of refugees land on the shores of lesbos every day. they arrive on overcrowded boats from turkey. often entire families are on the move, distressed and tired. >> i didn't want to leave, but these are my children. they stopped going to school in university. there is no more life. only fear. we had no choice. >> a few meters away another boat on the horizon, and another and one more. this rubber dinghy's engine was broken, so they were adrift. we could hear them scream and thought for help. for a moment there is outburst

of joy. but there is also so much anxiety. in a faint voice this woman said i'm scared. no one cares about us. >> we have no value any more. we are a trading commodity. >> the entire northeast coast of this island looks like this now, pile after pile of life jackets discarded by refugees as soon as they touch land. and it goes on for kilometers on end. there are personal belongings, a tiny little life jacket, one can just imagine the baby on board. and then here is the rubber dinghy they came across. with. the first thing that the refugees do is they puncture it because they're afraid to be september back to turkey when actually there is no one here to assist them. so they walk and walk. the closest camp and registration center is 40 kilometers away.

>> i was secting the police to help us out at least for the first night. we don't have food or water. i never thought that my life would turn out this way. there is no other way to reach europe other than smuggling. we were obliged to take this route to survive. >> it was us exhausting for those brothers. they fled idlib because their parents could not guarantee their safety. >> i tell them that we're traveling to a better life. but i never knew it would be so hard. had i known i would have stayed in syria under the bombs. it's less humiliating, but now it's too late. >> no one knows how much refugees are in lesbo. the mayor's estimate is 20,000 people. the island cannot cope any more and they've been asking for emergency funding. there is a backlog of people waiting at the board. there is a long process. tensions often flair. and for new arrivals the only option is to wait their turn before continuing their journey

across europe. al jazeera, lesbos. >> the european politicians have met to discuss the crisis in luxembourg. the european union remains deeply divided on the issue of quotas of settlement. this comes ahead of a resettlement plan that will be presented by the european commission next week. jacky rowland is in luxembourg, and has filed this update for us. >> a number of foreign ministers meeting here in luxembourg have acknowledged that the events of recent days have made it very clear that the current system for accepting refugees in the european union simply isn't working any more. according to the current system a refugee has to claim asylum in the first e.u. country they arrive in, but as we've seen in greece and italy and in hungary in recent days, there simply isn't practical, and it's not working any more.

as the e.u foreign policy chief stressed, it's time for foreign ministers to come up with a solution that is not going to go away any time soon. >> this is not an emergency, but it is an urgency that we're facing. but it's not something that starts that day and finishes that day. it is here to stay. the sooner we accept it psychologically and politically, the sooner we will be able to respond in an effective way and to manage in an effective way. >> these questions will be studied in more detail in a meeting of european leaders in brussels on the 14th of september. they'll be looking at ways to trying to harmonize the e.u. system for asylum seekers, but also they'll be looking at ways of identifying more quickly people who they say aren't entitled to refugee status. so people who are coming from countries which the e.u. considers not to be in a state of war, not to be in a dangerous

situation, people who the e.u. says have come simply to seek jobs, they will be identified as they will be denied entry. so a whole system to be reviewed by european ministers later in the month. >> still more to come on al jazeera. including with unemployment on the rise and aid money propping up the economy, we ask for the future looks like for afghanistan. and the growing force of conservative politics in morocco. the only way to get better is to challenge yourself,

oon the consumption of foreign aid to one that has investment and job creation and trade. >> but it won't be easy. as the president spoke hundreds of afghans demonstrated to oppose the issuing of electronic i.d. cards. these are meant to simplify tax collection and eliminate electoral fraud. protesters say they want nationality and religion speddify on the card. the political impasse has delayed the resolution for months. >> afghanistan has to reform its system, has to improve governance and has to make sure that the economy works for the people. and that we're delivering services. >> unemployment remains a chronic problem for the government says it's one of its biggest challenges it's working t about the government gives
