the number arriving this year will be well above the estimate of 800,000. unhcr says 30,000 people are stranded in outlying islands including 20,000 in lespos alone. berlin says it can cope with several hundred thousand for a few years. but there should be a fair distribution. >> translator: neither greece nor italy can accommodate the refugees arriving on their borders. we have discussed the crisis and the change in the policy. sweden and germany agree we need mandatory quotas. we must also ensure they are distributed fairly across the e.u. the unhcr says there is a dire need to streamline the

process to relocate refugees. >> we have proposed that there be european union lead mega centers established in greece, established also in italy and also in hungary, whereby the people arriving there, could go to these centers, be received in decent humane conditions, they could apply for ally sum there, but this would only work if european countries come together and agree on a relocation plan. once established that they are refugees to participate in countries in the european union. in turkey at least 14 police officers have been killed and two others wounded in a bomb attack on a mini bus. the government is blaming the pkk for the attack.

it is just the latest deadly attack against security forces. >> translator: those mountains will be cleared of the terrorists. whatever it takes they will be cleared. that's it. i ask your support for the struggle we are engaged in a calm manner. >> brian manner is with an online magazine he says the conflict will be worse before it gets better. >> reporter: you have kurdish militant groups wanting to maintain some autonomy. you have kurds in turkey and you have the end of the truce between the pkk and the government, so you have this massive out break of violence. i don't think the president

under the extent to which the pkk could still make the turkish armed forces hurt when he decided to go after the pkk in iraq and the ypg across the border. i think this would be the return of a low-grade civil war. you have seen the tush kish forces going after strong holds, but at the same time you have turkey's early elections looming on the first of november, which really constrains political calculus and creates incentives to go after the pkk more strongly. iraq's deputy minister has been kidnapped near the capitol. the car he was traveling in was ambushed. the u.n. children's agency says it's alarmed by the levels

of child hunger in yemen. unicef says 96,000 children are star -- starving and close to death. almost 2 million children across the country don't have enough food or water, and fighting escalated in sana'a. alabama -- our correspondent reports. >> reporter: not blast rocks sana'a. they are targeting houthi rebels and their allies in a struggle for control of yemen. but all too often civilians are caught up in the cross fire. this market suburb has been hit, people hurt, and livelihoods destroyed. homes and communities reduced to rubble. and one of the places people relied on for help has been shut

down. the hospital is opposite a special forces camp controlled by the houthis. it is now in the line of fire. >> translator: some people died here during the rocket bombardment. children were killed in the nursery. we are next door to the special forces, but it's against international law to bomb somewhere near a hospital. >> reporter: the hospitals and clinics are already under pressure, overwhelmed by the never-ending stream of the sick and hungry. thousands of children are desperately hungry. more than 20 million people don't have enough water. that's almost the entire population. >> we have seen a doubling and trim of malnutrition levels of children under five. we have 96,000 children who are

event for the thai police. they like to bring suspect back to the scene of the crime. on this occasion, obviously it is a very high profile situation. because the person they brought back to this apartment building is a foreign man picked up on the border last week. reportedly in possession of a chinese passport. he was arrested in connection with the bombing at the shrine in the heart of the city. since then, he has according to police, confessed to being in possession of illegal explosives and also to actually constructing the bomb that was left at the shrine, but the police don't think he was the man who actually placed it inside of the grounds of the shrine. so they brought him here to this apartment block on the outskirts of the capitol city. because they say they have forensic evidence that links him to an apartment here, that had

earlier been raided by the police and another foreign man was also arrested. the net is widening, police say they are looking for at least ten more suspects. abandoned mines around south calf's largest city are making people sick. toxic waste has been left to pile up for years. our correspondent reports from one community meters from a bump site. >> reporter: rosalyn says her lungs are failing her. she relies on a machine or oxygen for 16 hours a day to keep her alive. >> it's very difficult because you didn't go anywhere at all. this is my life, for the rest of my life i have to be on this machine. sometimes i can't even get up out of bed. >> reporter: she says the dust from these neighboring mine dumps have made her and others sick. it was the largest gold and

uranium mine in the world. uranium is toxic and radioactive. >> it's like they are killing us. they must be held accountable. you just hope that somebody can do something for us, because we haven't got anybody to event us. >> reporter: this is a poor community with a high number of unemployed people. the come mine tee is surrounded by mine dumps. the closest just meters there rosalyn's home. many like her have nowhere else to go. this man has been living at a retirement village for years. strong winds are a reminder of the hazard. >> in aupg it's ten times worse. the air is full of dust.

>> reporter: federation for a sustainable environment says 1.6 million people in johannesberg live here or on top of mine deposits. >> it is widely accepted that it causes lung cancer. they are also exposed to the inhalation and ingestion of toxic fallout. >> reporter: studies have not yet been completed on the risk of exposure to the dust, but some action has been taken. >> there are companies that actually reclaim minerals from that dust, and i think that's the best way for it, because then it means the dumps are gone, you know, forever. but should those dumps not be removed you try to minimize the exposure. >> reporter: until the environment improves, rosalyn is worried that many more from her community could get sick. still ahead on the program,

>> translator: while refugees are crossing into the country, civilian citizens are bringing water, which clearly tells governments that we must -- we need to stop hesitating.

we should recognize the current situation as chaotic. syrian refugees are suffering twofolds. traveling from greece, from all over the place, coming through serbia, hungary, obstacle after obstacle. civilians are telling european governments that they are not -- that there must be a humane way of welcoming these refugees. in greece, in hungary, in italy, it useded to be a united front among european leaders to welcome these refugees. so that within these centers

refugees are given the welcome they deserve, the humane welcome that they deserve. all those that need the protection of european help, there must be a european organized welcome, a strategy should be in place. because it is obvious that hungary, greece, all of these individual countries do not have the capabilities to welcome them individually. in my opinion, it must be an obligation that all of these refugees were arriving in

europe, should be given the opportunity to rebuild their lives, but it has to be a european collective effort. all these crimes committed by people traffickers, those who are dying, those who are suffering, drowning in the water, we have to absolutely combat and beat these problems. we need to avoid these problems. we need to increase the opportunity for refugees to arrive into europe legally. if you are in turkey, you will be paying hundreds of euros to

arrive illegally into these countries, whereas if you go on low-cost airlines, you'll be paying 50 euros, at most. but refugees who are forced to take extreme measures to come into europe are sometimes paying thousands of money -- thousands of euros, money that they do not have, so there must be opportunities for refugees to arrive into europe legally. some more opportunities for reestablishing them more flexible laws, funds, given to these refugees to build their future.

we have -- we have opened 58 grants for syrian refugees for university in turkey. we are hoping that european universities also welcome these refugees and give them grants, those refugees who have no future, no chance. and also reunion programs to allow reunions for these families, grants to help refugees reunite. this is not only a right, but something that -- that has humane significance. we are very well aware of past,

previous european opinion, economic security problems with regards to possible fear and doubt with regards to refugees coming over. but what we are seeing today are that these feelings are replaced by the emergence of -- of a feeling of immense solidarity, volunteering, and willingness to see these people trying to come and build a new future.

people are -- now today able and willing to tell the government that it is time to take action, and help these refugees in a humane manner. four to 5,000 people every day take to the seas and cross into europe. i hope the governments are able to listen. i hope that the governments are open and willing to listen to the movement of solidarity among their people.

all right. so you were just listening into the u.n. refugee agency chief. and he was speaking in paris and he was addressing the refugee crisis that has taken place in europe. he described the situation as chaotic, and said there must be a humane way to welcome these refugees. he did speak of streamlining the process when it comes to welcoming the refugees. and that's what i'll pick up

with humidioda abdel hamid. this ideas that he was talking about streamlining the process, this idea has been floating around for the past couple of hours, and it has been put forward by the unhgr. >> reporter: certainly it is something that needs to be done. i think he -- there's two things that need to be done at this moment, certainly increasing the screening teams on the ground here, to make this process go very quickly. and also it costs a lot of money for these refugees who are growing more and more vulnerability the idea. and he touched on a very important part which is the smuggling business. refugees pay a lot of money to make that sometimes deadly

crossing. a family, for example, on the move with four or five people would have paid up to $10,000 to cross. they have to buy the flak jackets and everything along their road is at inflated prices. if they find a taxi, they will give them a ride at hugely inflated prices. many have said we could have arrived and started to pay for things on our own. so certainly the smuggling business is a huge business that really profits a lot of people all along the road and as the refugees move they become more and more vulnerable. that is something many have said why don't they just give us visas and we will travel and we will arrive with our dignity, and we have our savings.

we sold everything, one guy told me we can pay for our language classes on our own, and start showing them that we really need to live in safety and stability. >> and when he said there must be a humane way to welcome these refug refugees, you have been in losbos, from what you have seen what happens to these refugees that continue to arrive on the island every single day? >> reporter: and probably as we speak now, there's some boat that is approaching the coast of this island. it has been really chaotic on this island. if tom our cameraman can show you, people are just sleeping on the street. those who had a little bit more money could buy these small tents. that's 40 euros.

40 euros for refugees on the move is a lot of money. we're seeing children being bathed by their parents with water. it is extremely dirty, a lot of people have complained that there's no toilets in this place. this scene exists all over the town, and you can also find it on the road between here and the coast where they land initially. so it's certainly extremely difficult conditions, it's slightly better in the sense that there are less people, because a little more than 8,000 have already left the island. 2,000 are due to leave very soon this afternoon. that's the ferry that will take them to athens, but as you said more and more are doing all the time, and at the moment there is no real reception center for them. is there is a camp outside of the town, but it is really in very poor living conditions. a couple of days ago, i was

talking to one of the men here on the ground trying to work, and he said unless we have these people leave and deacon guest the island there is no way we could put in place more facilities to the newcomers. that was a priority for the authorities here to really have as much people leave as quick as possible, because they know more and more will continue coming while the weather conditions are good. so you can see more and more efforts to try to put in place facilities. for example, registration, just two days ago this place was packed with people. even yesterday they were fighting among each other. riot police were not able to control them. some were collapsing, exhausted, there are certainly many more scening teams and according to the european border control body

there will be more screening teams arriving here that will be working 24/7, 7 days a week. that will streamline the process of people coming to this island. let's cross over to washington, d.c. and bring in the president of migration policy institute. when antonio says that there's a need to increase ways for refugees to enter europe legally, how likely are these comments to go down in europe? >> well, it is part of what is now, essentially a common line that involves the humanitarian community, the ngo sector, germany, several other countries, and the high commissioner's speech is going

to be repeated tomorrow in the speech to the european parliament tomorrow. they will be touching on the same topics, and of course, you have a narrative and a policy, as it were, which has been developed on the ground by the refugees themselves. they are writing their own chapter in this sorry but hopeful book about what is going to happen in europe in the next couple of months. >> what is the likelihood that this call by not only the u.n. but germany as well in fact, saying each country needs to receive a number of refugees according to its capacity to absorb them. what are prospects of that happening and soon? >> well, i imagine you are not going to be you
