now. thank you for joining us. i'm joie chen. a steady wave of refugees desperate to reach europe lead germany and sweden to make an appeal to their neighbours, asking the european nations to migrants. >> sheila macvicar followed the crisis, travelling to sicily to meet new arrivals, and catches us up with one family that found safe haven in austria but now faces new challenges as well the human wave does not stop. today 30,000. 30,000 refugees mainly from syria are stuck on greek islands in. waiting to a ferry to the european mainland in the next step of their journey. a route that winds to macedonia,

where thousands rush to board trains, heading further west. to ibb hospitable -- inhospitable hungary where makeshift camps are ill-equipped and bad-tempered cops chase refugees. there are many kind gestures along the way. it is in vienna where refugees begin, closer to their goal of safety and security. >> mohammed fled syria with his daughter, wife and disabled son, after too many battles and bomb attacks, convinced they had no future there. >> translation: we have reached safety. we are here. it's a safe country. europe is safe. people are kind. they welcomed us. look at my daughter. they have given us food and toys. >> reporter: this person and their family have been on the move for 20 days. >> translation: i decided to

leave because there's not a single hope that syria will go back to what it's used to be. >> reporter: vienna may feel like safety for people on the run. the journey is by no means over. in some ways it has just begun. four months ago we met this man and his family as they boarded a train in sicily. the italian coast guard had left the scene. >> i'll never forget how people were stacked on top of each other. there was no food, water, kids were screaming. waves. we thought we would die. my daughter saw the sea. the sea is now a nightmare for the children. they'll be afraid of it for a long time. >> this man and his family with nothing but the bags on their

backs planned to start a new life. now, with thousands of syrians arriving in vienna, carrying the same dreams, which wanted to know if life in austria lived up to their expectations. we met up with them in their new home outside an austrian city. the family is waiting for permanent residency. that should come. but the waiting is stressful. >> translation: we came because it was most important that the children get a good education, that there's a good health care system. staying in arab countries, there's no hope. it would have exhausted me financially. >> reporter: it doesn't mean it's easy. the family of five have been assigned a single room to sleep, eat and live.

the view is a smemy barn, and the tears of the journey have not eased. four months later, they are still traumatized. this is the youngest, agedate. >> there are this many people. the boat was about to flip. now i'm afraid of having a nightmare of drowning in the sea. >> reporter: his big brother cries talking about the journey. going to school helps, he dreams of being an engineer. >> i love school here, i hate it when there's breaks. his german is the best in the family. a huge help to his parents that are struggling with a new language, and this woman that cried when she saw the sea. she'd like to be an artist. she is frustrated and cannot see her future. >> until now, there is nothing. i cannot be asked to be patient.

i have gone through too much to be patient. >> i tell them we need to be patient. they tell me they hate in word, and never want me to say again. >> frustration and kindness too. a new austrian friend. a businessman volunteering with refugees is looking for a better place for them to live. >> this country is now becoming home. spaking for myself, i will never go back to syria. in all their faces, you can see relief "america tonight" sheila macvicar back with us. the family obviously are among the lucky ones right now. >> they are among the lucky ones, they found a place, a country, they'll get permanent residency. they'll have a place for all their challenges that are safe. there are many hundreds of

thousands of others who do not have that. there is some indication that europe is opening up to the idea of accepting more. >> they are in no way dealing with the reality of the numbers. so today the european union president said okay europe should take 160,000 over the next year, and distribute it through the countries in europe. >> that sounds like progress. the german chancellor should take 500,000, even better. here is the reality. since the begin of august. 120,000 refugees passed through the munich train station. since friday, at the munich train station, 25,000 refugees. it's like a small city. >> it's a small city. it's a massive wave of people moving, continually moving. on the greek islands there are 30,000 people waiting to begin

their journey across mainland europe. where they hope to find a warm reception. so talking about taking 160,000 over the course of the next year in no way does anything - helps with the reality. and where people already are. >> some pointed questions have begun to be raised. what is the role of the gulf refugees. >> it's really interesting question. in listening to refugees, syrians, iraqis, listening to them talk - i mean, they are all saying the europeans have been amazing. we are outside the culture, arabs, europeans, look at the volunteers flooding to the munich train station, to hand out water, clothes, food, bake muffins. offer to drive people who walk

hundreds of miles, and they look at that and see what has happened in the gulf states, the wealth yea gulf states. what i see is they have not been a single people that have found refuge, they are bitter, angry and disappointed. >> and concerned about that. sheila macvicar, thank you next - saving syrians, an update on the effort to help home. >> later, could your snap shots get you in trouble with the law?
