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 nan memty in

brussels, ultimately it's a consens consensus-driven institution. you are not going to have consensus. but you will have a large majority of the e.u. member states accepting to take up to 160,000 refugees to be resettled. this is a tiny number relative to both the need and the numbers of people that have been coming in. so it is going to be left up to places like germany to actually lead the way, a coalition of the willing to actually be able to do things that perhaps not every member of the european union is willing to do. >> yeah, we know not all of the members are willing to do what germany wants, if that were not

to happen, what is at stake for the refugees or until a system is established? >> well, i suspect that what we're going to see is an agreement that we're going to have reception and processing centers in several places in europe, certainly in italy, greece, and possibly hungary. and coming up with an external processing center as a means of relieving some of the pressure on the greek islands, and reducing dramatically the numbers of deaths as a means of taking people from there. thank you very much for giving us your time. thanks for watching al jazeera.

hungary's prime minister is promising to make the attempt to cross difficult for them. he plans to have a fence completed before the end of the year. thousands of refugees have also been arriving in vienna austria this morning. >> reporter: stephanie here another the station, we have seen hundreds of refugees coming into this train station today, arriving. they have been treated so humanely it really is quite a sight to see. in fact behind me, that corridor is for when the refugees first arrive, they are greeted with applause when they step off of the train by aid workers and volunteers. many wearing signs trying to notify the refugees of which language they speak if they need translakes. they are given, supplies they need on this desperate journey these refugees have been on for

so long. every refugee i have spoken to, once they crossed into austria, it is such a contrast to the treatment they were getting in hunga hungary. but the e.u. still doesn't have a unified policy on how they are going to deal with this crisis, despite mounting criticism from aid groups and others. the austrian interior ministry, a spokesperson said one of the problems they are having in dealing with this crisis is that hungary has effectively stopped communicating with them, and that is making it difficult for them. so a lot of questions still remain. and a lot of people have relatives sill in syria, and they don't know when they will see them again. the obama administration says it is actively considering

ways to help, including letting more migrants come to the u.s. democratic presidential candidate martin o'malley, says the u.s. is falling short. o'malley says by the end of next year, the u.s. should take in 65,000 refugees. a representative says the u.s. is handle those numbers. >> reporter: the u.s. resettles about 70,000 refugees from all over the world on an annual basis. the numbers announced by the u.s. was before the crisis, i think now the government is prepared to review these figures. whether they will reach the request of mr. o'malley, i don't know yet, but this country has a capacity to do that.

i would like to make a difference between resettlement, which is taking refugees from turkey, from lebanon, from jordan, where the syrians moved initially from the obligation of the europeans to deal with the people already on their shore. i think that is the absolute priority now, so establish good reception facilities. the resettlement will be key to show syrian refugees in these countries that there is an orderly way to move out of the country without taking all of these risks. the u.s. has said it plans to take in between 5 and 8,000 syrian refugees next year. congress is likely to address the refugee situation in coming weeks, but first on the agenda today is the nuclear deal with iran.

lawmakers are likely to vote this week whether to accept or reject the iran nuclear deal. it does have enough votes to sustain a presidential veto. but the white house needs 71 in total to mount a phil buster. >> reporter: with mansion announcing his opposition, how likely doesn't look that the democrats have the votes they need for a filibuster. >> reporter: well, really, they need those three votes and can only afford to lose one of the four remaining undecided democrats, virtually every republican in the senate, all 54 are going to vote against that. including bloomenthal and a

lawmaker from washington state. to the white house is going to have to keep those three in line to have a filibuster. >> there are still a lot of vocal opponents to the deal. what did dick cheney have to say? >> reporter: well, for the white house they are seizing upon the fact that dick cheney is the spokesman for the anti-deal forces. if their enemy in this is dick cheney, the white house figured that's good news to try to get some of those remaining democrats on board. cheney is speaking to fellow conservatives at the american enterprise institute. lambasting the deal. he said the white house, the obama administration gave away the store before they even sat

down in public with the p5-plus-1. all together dick cheney as you might expect throwing red meat to a conservative crowd. let's listen. >> iran will not be convinced to abandon its program peacefully, unless it knows it will face military action if it refuses to do so. that's how a serious negotiation plays out, that's how a self respecting power asserts its vital interests, insisting on key nonnegotiable points and maintaining a threat of military force are the indispensable elements of serious diplomacy over the iran nuclear program. >> reporter: as you mentioned it is all over except for the

shouting. but that's not going to stop politics from marching forward on this. tomorrow another major speech is billed. ted cruz, joined by donald trump, yes, two conservative and competing republican presidential candidates are going to be having a rally on the west steps of the capitol. >> mike thank you. hillary clinton's campaign is responding to the latest revelations over the use of a personal email account. on monday the clinton campaign disagreed with the reviews conclusion. clinton has insisted she did not send any information marked as classified. kentucky clerk kim davis is waking up in jail again today. and two presidential candidates

her and the courts. the judge sent the rowen county clerk behind bars after she refused to issue licenses to any same-sex couples after the court declined to her case. deputies have been issuing those licenses in her absence. and attorneys on both sides say having davis in jail is not what they wanted. >> we had no idea that that was even on the agenda. >> we did not want to see miss davis in prison. we were hoping a monetary compliance would gain compliance. >> she is incarcerated. she has no bond. there's no written order, and there was no notice that she could be incarcerated. >> reporter: davis's attorneys also say she is at peace with her actions. >> her conscious remains free

and she will not violate her conscious. mike huckabee and ted cruz are expected to meet with davis today at the jail and take part in a rally afterwards. davis's lawyer says she is willing to stay in jail for as long as it takes. and the judge says she is going to have to stay in jail until she changes her ways. the minnesota dentist who killed cecil the lion returned to work today reopening his office.

oregon tend to her life. she was dying of brain cancer, but california did not give her the legal right to commit suicide with a doctor's help. >> the worst thing that could happen to me is that i wait too long, because i'm trying to seize each day, but i somehow have my autonomy taken away from me because of the nature of my cancer. >> reporter: oregon law requires that the patients have capable of making the decision, and that they have to take the medication themselves. a recent poll shows nearly seven in 10 americans support physician assisted suicide. an increase of 20% in the last two years. opponents of the practice say helping people die goes against the values of the medical procession. >> the message of those who

promote suicide and euthanasia is that doctors can do a better job of killing you than taking care of you. >> reporter: the doctor hope out against the bill in california earlier this year. >> people are dying badly, meanwhile if we pass the bill we will simply offer the people who are suffering an option to quickly and cheaply end their lives. this does not feel like social progress from my perspective. >> reporter: the bill was eventually shelved due to a lack of support. the assembly is expected to vote soon on a revised version. we spoke with the executive director of the group that is in support of the dying.

>> we cannot control all suffering. in fact 90% of those in oregon who take the medicines are accepting hospice care but still their suffering cannot be controlled. so matter what we do in terms of improvements, there is simply not enough that we can do for everybody. but it's only a small number of people who actually end their lives this way. in the united states it's less than one in 300. so nobody feels an obligation to do this for in reason in terms of financial or otherwise. people taking advantage of this law do so because they have so much suffering they can't go on living. >> 25 state legislatures are now considering bills to help patients die. california's biggest fire is now forcing residents from their homes. the rough fire has scored more than 95,000 acres.
