for many, a perilous trip is over. they have arrived in germany by train and bus. many of them are met with cheers and applause. we have our correspondents along the route that so many of these desperate refugees are taking. mohammed jamjoom is on the austrian-hungary border and rob reynolds in the german city of munich. rob, let's start with you. they are having a welcome change of reception, aren't they. they are being met with a great deal of enthusiasm from germans. >> yes, that's absolutely right. it's quite a contrast with some of the other countries through which the refugees have passed on this long journey that many have made, and behind me you can see the railway station in munich, another train arriving from austria a short while ago

with 80 to 100 refugees on board, spoke to some of them. many people understandably reluctant to appear on camera, but two teenage boys from syria said that - one of them said he'd been imprisoned under president bashar al-assad, and another said that he was afraid for his parents. arrived how they felt to be in germany, they said they felt happy, safe, and one of the teenagers said they felt especially good that there was no bashar al-assad in germany. the pictures - people are clapping and cheering. it's been a hardy welcome from german citizens of all stripes here. in fact, the refugees volunteer organizations that are helping the refugees said they had to turn away volunteers and the donations of toys and clothing and blankets and the like.

i'll show you very quickly here - we'll look at the buses that are lined up. those are the buses that will take refugees to their temporary shelters. on the political front we have the chancellor of austria, verna, saying that an emergency european union summit meeting has to be held quickly. although austria allowed thousands to pass through to germany, it was an emergency measure, not something that could represent a solution. we'll hear more about what poll fairness in europe are going to try to do in the next days at least. i'll leave with you this. i asked a man in broken arabic how it feels to be in germany, and he replies beautiful. >> okay. thank you rob reynolds in the city of munich, on the german

side of the border. let's go to the other side of the border with austria, and further south in austria, close to the border. at this point where you are, things start to improve markedly, isn't it, for the refugees, as they continue their journ journey towards germany. >> every refugee i spoke to. whatever country they are from, they are so much happier, more relieved today in austria than they were in hungary. i heard tales of woes in which they say they were treated so badly in hungary, in which they are treated differently.

they have been received by local officials, charity organizations, n.g.o.s and volunteers, blankets, food, water, shelter. it's a real marked improvement now. earlier i spoke with the local police spokesperson, and he had this to say about the logistics of taking on so many refugees that had come into austria for the past 24 hours. >> they had to face a situation that was a big change for us. yesterday morning, along the whole day, yesterday, we had to face 8,000 people to come into - over the border, and just to give them shelter and bring them, transport them to vienna and other directions. yesterday we had the road chains, before 14 the whole day. they transported 300 to 400

people. each transportation. they transported 6,000, 5,000 people, for trains and buses. driving in other directions to austria. >> martine, earlier we were at the train station, seeing hundreds of refugees taken and put on trains and taken to places like vienna, and we were at the border crossing, saying there' be a convoy. activist, concerned citizen in austria, protesting the treatment of refugees in hungary, many planning to drive into hungary, trying to find refugees trapped in hungary and bring them into austria. the desperate journey going on for so many more. one lady i spoke to, a syrian refugee, being in her familiway

about to cross over into austria. she told me that they narrowly escaped the crossing from turkey that greece for a personal story. >> reporter: for this woman, the road is longer and more dangerous than she could have imagined. >> terrible, terrible. a bad situation. >> reporter: never worse, the english teacher from syria, than when she, husband and three children found themselves on a boat that started to sink after they set off from turkey, but before they reached kos. >> when we were in the boat in the sea, i was standing on one leg and raising my son on the other one, in order to get them up from the water. because the water was here. and the service of the sea was up here. >> reporter: rescued by the greek coast guard, the family

set off again. a few days back, they wound up in hungary. >> they took us to one of the camps, as if we were in prison. >> every setback made her determined to reach germany. >> yes, i'll try and i'll do it. we tried three times to get to germany, and we were prevented. >> she tells europeans need not fear refugees like her. >> we want to live in peace. we don't want to take anyone, other than money or any, not at all having made it this far, moral among the travel companions is there. >> there is palpable sigh of relief, as they are a few steps away from the border with austria. they are hoping that they are close to the end of their journey once in austria, they were

greeted by a welcoming aid worker. >> anyone speak english? okay. >> reporter: for this woman, the moment brings a more complicated situation. >> i am happy that i did it. that terrible journey. but i'm also sad and sorry for my family. they are still in homs. i wished they'd be here. i wish they would be safe from the war. >> i hope so. . >> i hope so too well, almost 2,000 more refugees arrived in the mainland greek port. they travelled by ferry from the island of ley boss.

the refugees from syria, iraq and afghanistan. earlier on saturday fighting broke out between refugees and police. on the island, it began when they tried to board a ferry without tickets. thousands are waiting to be taken to the mainland now, thousands of people rallied in paris, in a show of support for refugees. protesters called on the french government to do more to welcome syrian refugees who made it to europe. opinion is divided in france. is poll showed 56 of people didn't want to country to open its doors to people. the finish prime minister said he'll give up his own house to refugees that need accommodation. they do not use their house, and his wife suggested they put it to go use. >> translation: sure, there are suspicions, and we must under

that and lead a matter of fact discussion about what they have about this. still i ask everyone to take care of others in a war zone now, canadian relatives of two toddlers that drowned when they tried to get to greece held a vigil. the 3-year-old, his 5-year-old brother and mother were among 12 who died when the boat capsized off the turkish coast. the aunt said if she hadn't sent the money to pay the smugglers, the boys would be alive don't forget, there's more information on the crisis, surrounding the refugees on the refugee spotlight page on the website. there you'll find articles, opinion pieces and more on aljazeera.com still to come on this al jazeera newshour. residents trapped in the

mobilization forces have been killed in a string of i.s.i.l. attacks. 13 died near ramadi, the i.s.i.l. controlled capital of anbar province, and eight killed after i.s.i.l. showered a camp east of fallujah. i.s.i.l. has been attacking the iraqi city of ha ether for more than 18 months, but tribal fighters and security forces fought back. it is besieged. people that remain there need assistance to survive. zeina khodr reports. >> reporter: this is the only way to reach haditha, roads around the area are too dangerous. both the iraqi military is used. that is why the government needs to airlift supplies into the town. this air base is only life line. haditha is surrounded by i.s.i.l. fighters. many left because the armed group launched offensives to

capture one of the last remaining centers that has not fallen to its forces. those in the town have weakly deliveries of humanitarian aid. >> translation: one sack of flour costs around $900. most of the time we sleep without eating, because we can't afford to by food. they prefer to stay in their homes, joining iraqis. they have not been easy. >> reporter: we are thankful. but there was a lack of electricity. we ask the government to help us. >> reporter: haditha has been a target for i.s.i.l. it is surrounded by desert. but has not been easy to defend the town. in an offensive i.s.i.l. used 39 suicide car bombings. >> translation: the enemy tried

to advance and attack it. i.s.i.l. has not been able to establish an if the heeled on the region. i.s.i.l. links the air base to an important structure. the haditha is the second largest in the country, contributing a third of iraq's electricity. and it can be used as a war, if i.s.i.l. decides to open its gaits. when the area was at risk of falling, the u.s. expanded an air campaign. u.s. assistance has been a main reason i.s.i.l. has not been ability capture haditha. it is important to the u.s. it's close to the air base where the military advisors are training tribal fighters. >> reporter: u.s. air travel allowed forces to hold haditha. the ground troops are in no position to use the area as a staging ground to take on

i.s.i.l. the armed group crawling most of anbar province at least 42 fighters have been killed in battles between i.s.i.l. and syrian rebels. the fighting around the rebel town close to the border. it's in a safe zone suggested in turkey last month. if rebels lose the town, it will make it harder to clear i.s.i.l. from the area now, thailand's military appointed council rejected a constitution, if it had gone through it would have paved the way for a referendum and end to military rule. a referendum will be set up delaying elections to 2017. wayne hay reports. >> a return to any form of democracy is slipping further away from thailand. outside parliament, a few protesters want their voices heard.

it's not allowed under the military government that seized power in a coup last year. inside it was something of a farewell badge for so-called national reform council. handpicked by the army. the last task was to vote on a new constitution, one seen by many as a way for the army to consolidate and legitimize their power. . >> delays and time-buying tactics are par for the course. the people want to remain in power. and call the shots. >> but they are trying to throw them out. the reform council voted against it. the process is back to the beginning. the draft constitution is condemned as undemocratic. the military government has an excuse to delay the election again and stay in power. given those who wrote and voted on the charter were chosen by the army and rejected it, provoked suspicion, the process was a delay in tactics.

the longer the army and its supporters tried to stay in power, the greater the risk of conflict. >> it will not be resolved. relying on the rules of the game. that means it will tend to lead to either violence or maybe another coup détat now a new constitution will need to be written. this will stay in the boxes, and thailand's political uncertainty goes on. now, benjamin is an independent south-east asia expert and is currently writing a book on thailand's geopolitics, saying parts of the rejected constitution are flawed. >> it's difficult to assess the level of popularity, counting on the fact that discussion and

criticism is muscled. people talked about the deficit, whereby the constitution has been drafted. regardless of the content and the provision, the fact that it was drafted, a group of individuals handpicked by the military that overthrew the democratic election government. raises questions as to the constitution. they have been largely kept under wraps. supervisions, i think, have gotten most attention, was that it would allow for an elected president to become the next prime minister. and the constitution makes clear there'll be more selected than elected. one element is you can have a prime minister. not elected by the peep. it certainly is a nationality strategic reform, and wherever again a largely select body of

individuals. i believe 21 of 23 elected would have executive and legislative power. in times of crisis. what makes it unique is unlike thailand's emergency defeat, existing outside the constitution, it needs to be invoked and revoked by parliament, this committee is part of the constitution, making it constitutional, if you will now, breaking news coming out of the vatican. the pope - pope francis - called on every parish, religious community, monastery, sanctuary in europe, to take in one migrant family, and says the vatican will take in two families. the pope is calling on every parish and community to take in one migrant family and preparing

to take in two families. that's the news to come out of the vatican, that is pope francis quoted by the reuters newsagency. let's get the weather with rob. and a monsoon update. >> yes, we have reached the point where the south-west monsoon is coming up and returning. it's sporadic. the heavy yes rain was in islamabad, and it has been in the north of pakistan. that is a rare itty now. obviously, from the satellite, most of the rain in the eastern side of india, maybe in the south, in nepal, five millimetres on top of 40 from yesterday. they are around as well. there appears to be a sharp cut off. it's the north-east that received meters of rain. it's a wet place. the wettest place in the world. we have another along the area,

58mm in the last few hours. this is added. almost the whole. and it's territories. so it's been quite flooded. before you get to the border with bangladesh, it's an army camp. if the army can't keep out of the water, what hope do the rest have. now, the monsoon has gone as far as it will get. it's virtually all of india at the moment. even though it burst forward, there are large areas, 40%, with rain. little more to come thank you very much. from south asia, let's go to central america. guatemala says the polls on sunday, after a week of political turmoil. a businessman, former first lady and a television community are among the leading presidential candidates. the election is to find a leader to replace otto perez molina,

who resigned and was gaoled on thursday following a corruption allegation. if none of the candidates reach 30% of the vote. the top two face off in a second election in late october. guatemalans, none of the candidates offer the change that they say is desperately insteaded. david mercer reports veronica is disillusioned by politics. up until a few weeks ago, the 45-year-old mother decided not to vote in the guatemalan general election. when she saw the changes sweeping the country, she decided that now was the time, even if it meant voting for the least worst candidate. >> if i don't participate in this election, i will not be able to question the future, and also i have to set an example for my daughter. i need to show her the importance of political participation. >> 7.5 million guatemalans are eligible to vote.

many feel the same way as veronica. of the 14 candidates, you'd thing the people are spoilt for choice. many guatemalans said they heard the campaign promises, but they have not heard from the candidates is a national plan on how they will deliver. >> i have a well-structured governance plan. i will not need to improvise, i have the leadership experience to my political advantage. >> translation: i don't belong to the traditional political class. what i'll do is fight the class associated with corruption and immunity. we have a plan to work in all areas of society. >> some select groups are encouraging guatemalans to vote, others are telling people to stay at home, a protest against an election tainted by corruption.

in the past few days, people ctold us they've been pressured to vote for certain parties. others have received money in return for political support. for veronica, what is important is her daughter's future, and that means going to the polls, hoping she makes the right choice eric is the vice president of the council of the americas in washington d.c. there's a great deal of mistrust in the political system. >> i think it will be credible so long as it's relatively free of violence, transparent and open. and the top two vote getters will have a run-off election if no one reaches 20% in october. the issue is not necessarily the vote, but the issue is can you get at the heart of a corrupt system. and whoever acted president. will he or she bring into the presidential palace.

it's no longer able to say yes to corruption. corruption has to be put aside. the people have spoken, the political class is on notice, and the question is how will they respond the coalition forces carried out air strikes on the yemeni capital sanaa. the republican guard and special forces, headquarters were targeted. they were control by the houthi and former president ali abdullah saleh. another building was hit well, a u.n.i.c.e.f. hospital, women and children, have been damaged. general my hopkins joins us from sanaa. jeremy hopkins, can you hear me? >> yes, i can. >> can you describe the kind of damage sustained by this

hospital in particular? >> welling the bombing escalated over the last few hospital has not been hit. what happens is the windows and doors of the structure near any bomb site are damaged. in the hospital, that is serious, there's flying glass and other issues of hygiene and sanitation. what is important, is that the staff in the hospital didn't want to remain in the hospital overnight. that is the hospital for the nation, for maternal and child health. what that meant is that in the middle of, for example, a woman being in labour, the staff from forced o abehindon the opt. women in labour - there were 20 babies incubated. we had to find other hospitals, and some took their newborn

babies home. they felt they had no choice. they were confident about the hospital, a much broader impact on the structure, health services across the country. we estimated that 15 million yemenis need access to the basic health care, and they are not getting it at the moment. >> this is increasing the amount of pressure on the limited resources that remain for the yemenis, when it comes to accesses health care. >> yes, it's one of the big related challenges that exists coming into the country. the trade routes have become hampered by conflict. essential drugs are no longer flying in the public or the private sector, which has a huge

amount in the incorporated center. food and basic its which are no longer flowing into the country jeremy hopkins, head of u.n.i.c.e.f. thank you for talking to al jazeera still to come - witting for a ticket -- waiting for a ticket out of morocco. meet the african refugees desperate to reach europe. >> in sport, australia builds momentum in the final warm-up match. coming up, details with farah.

hello again, let's look at the top stories on al jazeera. thailand's army appoints a national reform council, voting against a draft new constitution. if it has been passed. it could have paved the way for a referendum and an end to military rules. guatemalans head to the polls after months of political turmoil. otto perez molina resigned and was arrested over a customs fraud scheme. thousands of refugees continue the journey across europe. they are being taken in buses, across the border into austria. they are being put on to states, where they can claim asylum. >> we can talk about tim hatton, professor of economics apt the university in the u.k. he joined via skype.

thank you for taking the time to talk to us. we are taken by the fact that germany has been specific saying it's capable of taking 800,000 refugees, but when we get to that point, then what happens? once germany researches the saturation point, what happens next? >> good morning. i'm not sure that germany wants to accepted 800,000 refugees. that was a number forecast to be applying for asylum in germany. not surprisingly, in the face of this unprecedented spirit of applicants for asylum, germany has been trying to persuade other european countries to take a bit more of the strain that germany alone with austria would otherwise be facing. >> how do you account for the very different approach that this refugee crisis that we are

witnessing in austria and, indeed, in germany, visa bee what we have witnessed in hungary, and serbia, obviously is outside the european union, but serbia as well. >> gemany has a strong tradition of accepting refugees. it's been a leading country in the european asylum system. it's been the biggest recipient of applications for asylum over the last 25 years. so germany's certainly got a fine record, of accepting refugees. other countries are not in quite the same position. relatively few position applied to go to hungary. hungary is not been a country of immigration or of refugees in the past. and i think you could say the

same for some other european countries. it's an uneven balance across europe at the moment. >> it has become almost a promise land for so many refugees. i'm thing back to the waves. the thousands of turkish migrants that turkey played attest to. they call them test services. so many privileges, of german citizenships. does germany hold the record of being a welcoming country for outsiders. >> well, we are going back now to the 1950s and '60s. things have changed since then. all countries have a somewhat mixed record on this. germany has been the principal country - for example, after the fall of the berlin wall, and the dissolution of the soviet union,

germany accepted a large number of refugees, more than any other country. i think we developed the refugee system over many years. >> all right. we'll leave it there. unfortunately we don't have enough time. thank you. tim hatton, from the university of essex talking to us from cole chester. >> thank you. >> thousands of african refugees were stranded in morocco, which used to be a major transit point. the government has been taking steps to improve the status. many are complaining that it is not enough. we have more. >> reporter: this is a summer camp for children of refugees and moroccans. they spend this much time together and are rehearsing for a farewell party. the aim is to raise awareness of the flight of africans and tough

conditions to seek a better life in europe. frank arrived in morocco five years ago. his fight for legal rights paid off. he's a legal residents here. his next move is to find a job. >> migrants should have access to health care, find work and take kids school. many refugees here say they face tough times. some live in caves, in the forest, spending the day hiding from the police. they try to climb fences to get into the city, connected by land, but is part of europe. >> i am here for one purpose, to get to europe. we live in the first. each morning you go out looking for something to eat. we have nothing. life there is tough.

>> reporter: we met a group of refugees in tan jeers. they all say they face discrimination every day. so far this is a volunteer, she teaches young migrants english, an experience that has changed her life. >> when i came the first day i was not into it. then we had a close relationship. we had different - like different ideas for the people, and some of the people, but the more i know them and spend time with them, the more i'm interested in it. >> thousands of immigrants are residents in morocco, which means they have permission to stay in the country. there are 1,000 more. betrayed by the nation. >> now that europe set up border patrols, many find themselves

trapped here in morocco. this is the dream. europe on the other side of the mediterranean. but they say they have no other option but to leave at night. and attempt the dangerous crossing by boat now, the australian prime minister tony abbott says he's not committed to taking in any more refugees, saying any increase to take in syrian refugees will be at the expense of people from the other part of the world. >> we are not disposed to take more people from the troubled region under our refugee and humanitarian programme. and we are open to providing more financial assistance to the un h.r. c in the weeks and months ahead two police men have been killed in south-eastern turkey in fighting with the turkish p.k.k. rebels. the p.k.k. fired rocket-propelled grenade at

he dropped out of school because he says his parents couldn't afford the expense. soon he may have to look for another job because the authorities are planning a crackdown on illegal mining. and he is not amused. >> this is my life. i don't know anything else. >> most of the gold prospecting is crude. the turnover for people like him is huge. a good day can produce hundreds of dollars, those are the dollars the government wants. the authorities want him and hundreds like him to pay taxes on their earnings.

>> if the miners are given a tax, the miners coming in, given their own - there should be development in some part. >> the federal government says tight regulations are under way. gold processing units are mostly unlicensed. they hardly pay taxes. the challenge is to get them to pay. >> we can pay more taxes. we want to stop the government coming to nigeria for the mining. and live with nigerians, to and live with nigerians, to enjoy, eat with.

>> reporter: for now, that is not what the government wants to do. it wants to stop illegal mining, and bring investors with the capacity to produce revenue, and jobs in the camp. >> which means more time is ahead. for small-time miners. venezuela has allowed schoolchildren to cross the closed border with columbia. around 1500 columbians attend schools, and have been allowed through. the president nicolas maduro has shut the border crossings and deported almost 1,100 columbians in recent weeks. president nicolas maduro said it was a crackdown on cross-border crime china issued a report saying tibet is in its golden age. 50 years after it set up an autonomous region after annexing the territory. state media is reporting the
