expected to attempt the dangerous crossing over the mediterranean this year alone. the united nations high commission of the refugee says that europe should make more able to arrive legally. all these refugees should be given the opportunity to rebuild their lives. but it has to be a collective european effort to help them do that. refugees are relying on human traffickers are dying and suffering. drowning in the water. we have to absolutely combat and avoided this. >> we need to increase the opportunities to arrive in europe legally. >> the ships continue to arrive on the greek mainland. carrying thousands of refugees take a look at these. two latest pictures we have of a mass of people disembarking heading off the vessels as the port pretty close to athens. and they come from greek islands where many refugees are currently stranded.

greece's migration, says is very close to the turkish mainland on the verge of an explosion. 20,000 there alone. well, it is fair to say that refugees have been getting a mixed reaction across europe. there are people now welcoming them with open arms. there are stories of refugee centers, what is eminent in all of this is how many europeans are actively volunteering to help refugees. rob reynolds is meeting some of them in the southern german city of munich. >> this morning just like every other morning, fingerly is busy. she handing out steaming cups of tea and coffee, at munich's main refugee seeker housing center. serving people who have fled war and repression. >> i really think we are responsible for showing a friendly face.

baghdad. now, as i say, nobody has claimed responsible for this kidnapping so far, but it comes after a spate of kidnappings last wednesday. 18 workers were kidnapped and then in the last few days two sunni sheikhs here in baghdad also kidnapped. but there is another twist, prime minister is coming under tremendous amounts of pressure, there have been regular maz protests here in the capitol. every friday one of the demands of those protests is the reform of the judicial system. now, the deputy minister would have been a key part of any retomorrows that may have been taking place, or may have also lost his job as well. now, we don't know if the two events are linked but there is a lot of anger here on the streets of baghdad, against the prime minister and his government. they say he is not doing enough to be able to bring about the reforms that are required, now, are the two events linked? well, it well may be they are lisked but we don't know. the police have given us very

little details. all of this, is very embarrassing for the government. >> shelling be i the iraqi army reportedly killed at least 11 civilians. medical sources say that four children and five women are among the dead. iraqi forces backed by shia militia launched an offensive to try to eare take the city. which has been controlling since january of last year. now to yemen, the saudi led coalition, has been carrying out a number of air strikes against rebels in the capitol. they targeted an air force base controlled by troops loyal to the former president. he strikes damaged homes as well. nearby including those of prominent houthis leaders. >> the t.v. channel controlled by houthis rebels say. witnesses say a residential building was hit during an

he talked to us from yemen's capitol. >> the recent results is a doubling or in some cases triples of malnutrition under five. which represent the next generation. we have 96,000 children at severe risk of death. and the 8,000 you mentioned. that's just two away. they compare with precrisis levels very badly in the sense that double or tripled and the most recently time we had leveled like this was in the 2011 crisis. so we are seeing a return of the malnutrition curse on yemen and it requires a response. what we are trying to do now is attack the nutrition crisis on a number of fronts. when there's a malnutrition crisis for failure across several sectors. so the health sector,

obviously, the water sector, because dirty water causes diarrhea, and the education sector in the sense that mother, and parents and older sibling need to know how to look after children, to ensure that they stay clean, and eat the right food. we saw there some shots inside the hospitals. we are off to jordan in just a moment. much needed reconstructive summary to the victims of war. and making marriages easier, we will have the latest on pope fran sises reforms of the catholic church. head to sport, and the england contribute are looking for a new start in south africa.

forces at least 90 members have been killed now, and many hundreds of p.k.k. fighters killed at the same time. and all of those deteriorating situations comes as turkey prepares for a second national election. on the first of november. after the elections in june failed to return a majority government, and after the ruling party was unable to form a coalition. >> bernard smith reporting now. where police have ared three people in the capitol. they were found with a home made bomb at a upscale shopping mall. the group arrested in relation to an incident which opened in may, as part of a $250 million project. the bomb was safely detonated in what was described as a controlled explosion. >> abandoned mines are making people sick. toxic waste has been left to pile up these to residential areas for years.

to speak for ourself. we don't have anybody to represent us. >> this is a poor community, with a high number of unemployed people, and limited medical care. the community is surrounded by mine dumps. the closest one just meters away. many like her here, have nowhere else to go. >> allen thompson has been living at a local retirement village for eight years. strong winds are a reminder of the potential hazards. >> in august, it is like ten times worse. and you can carry on sweeping, and wiping, and whatever, and this is -- the air is full of dust. >> the federation for a sustainable environment, says 1.6 million people, live near or on top of mine residue deposits. >> there are also just exposed to the inhalation, and to the ingestion of radio active and toxic gas fall out. >> the governments mine house

and safety counsel is not yet completed the studies on the risk of the exposure to the dust, but some action has been taken. >> there are companies which are reclaim from that dust it means the dutches are gone forever, but should those dumps be not removed. they try to minimize the exposure. >> before the environment improved worried that many more from her community, could get sick. >> the 25-year-old african-american died in april from a neck injury he suffered while in police custody. the protests and rioting in baltimore. the settlement still pending approval from a local government body which

which has been looking for that magic number of 41. because what this means is that it is less likely that the president. a presidential veto. >> if it passes both chambers which is required by u.s. law, then it will go to the president's desk, and he has said that he would veto the legislation, that rejected the iran agreement. this is certainly a very good sign. this is something that many lobbying hard core, because many feel that this is the best hope for limiting iran's nuclear program. >> this is a peace treaty with a gift out of the goodness of our hearts. if we trust iran we wouldn't need the video cameras. and seals and all manner of technology to make sure iran complies. we are demanding iran prove to us it's complying with

every last letter of this agreement. help me with this one, kimberly, because 41 democratic senators say yeah, we will help you here. which means that what, about point five are saying no we won't. so it is hardly a victory for the president. and yet it has been portrayed as such. >> well, because there's a lot of spinner as you will in washington. both sides like to paint a very rosy picture. in favor of the argument they are trying to make. from's still a lot that can happen. when we expect there will likely be votes. there is only the potential, to block a vote, that's not saying lit happen. so as a result, we see a lot of lobbies that is continuing on both sides. we had the former vice president, speaking at a right leaning think tank. a few hours back. saying, in fact, this

threatens the real security, that not only can this be a path way to iran, that it could ask risk trying the ice. the fear tactics aring with employed. but at the end of the day, the arguments that are resonating seem to be the ones that the white house and the democrats are making because the poll numbers show, at least, a majority tip in favor of supporting this. seeing it as the best option. >> it would be extraordinary to see if it happens. kimberly, thank you. >> well, coming up on the news hour, mainland china's economy is hitting hong kong's shoppers. we are off to mexico, where these people are fighting deforest station and the people doing it. and in sport, the smoke screen that brought an early end to this world cup qualifier.

expecting more than 800,000 asylum seekers this year. months of fighting have been taking it's toll. at least 96,000 children in one city alone are starving. >> iraq's deputy justice minister has been kidnapped by a masked gunmen in the capitol of baghdad. we are going to revisit the story that's been occupying so many of us for so many weeks. that is the refugee crisis in europe. from we the refugees have been waiting to board ships pretty close to turkey to mainland greece. all of the people arrive here, because this is where the port is, and this is where the ferry to go to athens.

and continue their journey. this is like five or six that have -- that have been departing from here over the last 24 hours because of the authorities and the u.n. and other agencies. came tot, and decided that you have to decongest the island if you are to make some livable conditions. that everybody agrees will not end any time soon. this long line where those are people that are waiting to buy their tickets. the registering process has sped up, it has moved to a stage of outside of the city, on the outskirts and there are many more screening teams so people are getting their paperwork. we will be watching them, waiting here for hours on end. but these people will not be able to take a ferry until tomorrow. in the meantime, while they will have to live and sleep, wherever they can, you can see some people just behind

me on the floor. this is what you see all over the town. wherever there's an empty space, a sidewalk, you will find those that can't afford it sleeping on the floor. >> so why these people are giving up so much so that they are leaving the refugee camps. joining us on skype in jordan, and so many hundreds of thousands if not millions of refugees are in jordan. last time you went to one of these camps, tell us what you saw? thank you. think whey is very clear, not just in jordan but lebanon, iraq, and turkey, that have really as you say in shoulders the burdening of hosting most. the quality of their asylum and their access to services, in these camps and in the host communities that they are also staying with. is really decreasing.

this crisis began in 2011, and they have been hosting refugees since then. but i can tell you across every sector, in every single one of these countries will that's child protection, education, water, sanitation, health, needs are outstripping resources. and this is increasingly putting a squeeze on refugees. which is why we are seeing this influx. >> in these refugee camps. they are relatively safe, aren't they? it is a difficult life, but they are safe? >> i think in terms of protection for children, we would never want to say they are a good place for people to be. that isn't what i said, i said they are relatively safe, you made it clear that you think the conditions are perble, and that the services are inadequate, but they are relatively safe, yes? >> yes.

>> so why do you think, other countries have to take them? >> i think what we are seeing is that the choice of refugees to go to the e.u., is because they don't see as much future in staying in the region. they can't return to syria, the conflict is getting worse and worse. last month the highest number of civilian deaths. going back isn't an option. staying in these host countries, so the only option they have left is to move across and take that dangerous juneny. >> i remember our report, doing a story probably about 12 months ago, in which she met people who said they were going back because they thought the conditions in the refugee camps just weren't good enough. have they worsened since then? >> in terms of the quality, yes, the conditions in refugee camps are certainly decreasing in the last 12 months. but so too are the conditions in syria as well. returns are very very

difficult, at this time. the increase in mass atrocities committed by all parties to the conflict, attacks on schools and hospitals, all these numbers are increasing. >> they have food in camps, and the authority such as your own organization, and the united nations, they know that they should take the necessities to these catches once these people move out, in a sense they are making life a great deal more difficult for themselves, because nobody knows where they are and what they are doing. i would disagree in terms of food and security. wfp, which has been one of the largest providers has suffered massive funding cuts and is drastically reducing the amount of food aid they can provide. both in refugee camps and in host communities. we need to remember that in the region, not everybody is staying in camps. there aren't any in lebanon. they are only in formal

tented. so in order to respond to refugees based not inside camps, to be registered with host governments. that's very difficult to provide services too. we know that rent and food security have been the biggest concerns in refugee in the program countries and those massive food cuts, have really taking it's toll. >> i understand it will only get colder and nastier for them, thank you very much indeed. the bodies some of indonesian workers are being returned home. 62 died when their overloaded boat sank. >> he had works for over a decade in malaysia, earning enough money to improve the lives oif families back home.

seans choose to work abrad, because of better pay. >> she was four months pregnant when she took the same journey home. she went 12 hours at sea, hiding below deck. >> they called us one by one, and they asked us to sit at the lower part of the boat. we were not allowed to talk, and we couldn't move. we sat really cramped. and we had to keep our heads down. when i took the journey there were many other pregnant women. one was even seven months pregnant. many were throwing up, we were all scared. >> she was lucky enough to survive. >> wanted to travel home to celebrate her youngest son, who hadn't seen his mother for four years, now they are separated forever. >> instead of the long awaiting reunion, the families had to bury the

women, who had worked so hard to help them. they pray malaysia will ease regulations for migrant workers so others won't ever be forced again to take the dangerous illegal rout back home. >> refugees now livin living in basic conditions in lebanon are badly effected in syrian itself, the storm meant planes and helicopters were grounded. people have been told to stay indoors or as far away as cypress. accessing even basic medical care in cypress is difficult. aid groups have been changing

all of this, since opening a hospital in jordan which specializing in reconstructive surgery. in the region's victims of war. there shall more conflicts that daddy need treatment. this is why the charity doctors without borders has set up it's own specialized surgery hospital. 24 with living with a terrible face injury caused by a mortal shell, while government forces were fighting in anbar. >> they moved bones from my pelvis in order to reconstruct my jaw. my next operation will be a new nose and the third will give me teeth. before coming here i had completely lost hope, because doctors said there's no treatment for me, i never expected to improve. >> dock tores without borders has also been treating mohammad for years.

most of the gets here are already occupied. the regions continuing conflict means that the complete war injuries is immense. in syria alone more than 1 million people have been hurt. according to the united nations. >> this old woman was injured at the start of the conflict in syria. she has one more in three weeks. the shell hit our home and the whole wall crumbled on me while i was sweeping the floor. two surgeries failed and i said without treatment for a year and a half before coming here.

>> they will need in the long term this kind of reconstruction of treatment. so we expect this project to last. it is also a heartbreaking testimony, that the toll that the region is having on innocent civilians. al jazeera, amadd. >> pope francis has brought in some pretty radical changes to the way that members of the catholic church who wanted to divorce can now annul their marriages. it makes it much simpler, when a marriage is invade identity card.

they are criticized as being too complicated and costly. for those in poorer countries. some of the public seems to approve. >> and -- time for change. >> i think it is a very positive step, couples change, relationships change, everything changes and i think the pope is bringing the church more up to date. something his predecessors have always resisted. >> chinese export and imports contracted in august, which is just another sign of the weakness for the world's second largest economy, it is hitting the spending path. people aren't taking their money overseas and people in hong kong which is a populace destination, for the mainland travelers are feeling the effects. rob mcgrayed will tell us.

the news is not good. >> we are facing a hard time. the maybe land chinese are not spending as easily as they did before. >> at the airports arrival hall, the shopping promotion sounds more like a plea for visitors with less money to spend. hit hardest are the luxury brands with some stores closing. what we are hearing is really the july performance, the july august performance. widening from 20 something%, in the first half, to also 30%, so that's pretty bad. >> but all shops are suffering. accounting for 95% of it's customers, this book shop is totally reliant on visitors from the mainland.
