>> i'm at the venice film festival where juries awarded the golden lion prize to a first-time venezuelan director. >> thousands of refugees continue the desperate journey to europe and the country many are heading to is feeling the strain. the german city of munich said more than 12,000 arrived on saturday alone. local leaders say the region is stretched to capacity and they're asking other german cities to help. the czech republic prime minister said his country will stick to its decision to reject quotas for european union states to take in asylum seekers and hungary continues with criticism of its treatment of refugees. austria has been a transit point for many refugees.

they are expecting 500 people to arrive every hour from hungary. around 7,000 arrived an saturday. members of the red cross gave food, water and medical care to the refugees. people wait to board trains to take them either to the capitol of sienna or other parts of austria or on to germany. >> i can tell you that we have all right seen 600 people on their way with a special train, another 300 to 400 are waiting for the continuation of their journey. >> the thousands of refugees continue to enter europe by crossing the mediterranean sea. jordan hull has a report from the greek island of lesbos. >> the pace of arrivals at the refugee camp in lesbos has not slowed, but something else has changed, the pace at which they are able to leave. under pressure from the u.n.'s

refugee agency and the e.u. police reinforcement the now register up to 2,000 people a day, that's almost the same number as though landing on the island from turkey every day. the chaos and disorder of recent days has turned to calm efficiency. >> do you know that two weeks ago, it was very difficult here? >> your, my friend who was calling me you don't have to come here, because it's really pressure, really, really pressure. >> now it's much better. >> i am surprised what he told me and what i saw now is really a big difference. >> the transformation in this camp is extraordinary. two weeks ago, this was a squall lid, woeful place, thousands sleeping and living for days on end with virtually no assistance. now, there are decent sanitation facilities, there are proper tents, there are medical facilities and there's a feeding

station, freely distributing food. i hate to think how this man would have coped before. he was shot through both legs in an isil attack at the university of raqqa in syria. he was studying biology. >> what does it mean to you to be here in europe, away from syria? >> i've made my way through struggle and hardship taking great risk to seek medical treatment. at germany, there are specialists treating such conditions. >> the greek government is asking ferry companies to provide more boats. >> it was 45, now they are saying it is 20. maybe one hour later, it shall be 80, so what shall we do. >> you have a long journey ahead. >> maybe five or six more

countries, we've got to go to get to germany. >> in just a few days, more than 30,000 refugees and migrants have left lesbos. good news for this island and for them, bad news for the already crowded road ahead that will get even busier. al jazeera, lesbos island, greece. >> 18 bodies have been pulled from the sea off greece after a fishing boat capsized. 100 people are thought to have been onboard. >> it's not just syrians desperate to leave their war-torn country witness iraqis are traveling to turkey and often rely on smugglers who promise to take them to greece. not everyone survives that journey. >> they mourn their children. a 9-year-old and 11-year-old. the family left iraq for turkey. from there, smugglers promised

them they would get them to greece. in a rubber dingy boat meant to hold five, the smugglers packed in 10. a few kilometers off the turkish coast, it capsized. this was the same boat that the 3-year-old who washed up on the turkish coast was on. the image of his body lying on the beach shocked many around the world. these two deaths went unnoticed. their mother described the moment she lost her children. >> the boat capsized on my head and my children's heads, as well. they were wearing their life jacket. they float on the surface, but the sea waves were huge and the boat was on top of their heads preventing them getting out. i was alongside them. i sensed my daughter's hand touching me, then her legs touched my hands. i was not wearing a life jacket. i didn't see them afterwards. the coast guard came after an hour, i don't know, maybe more than an hour.

we started looking for them during nighttime, but we could not find them, the next morning, the tide brought the bodies to shore. >> the family lived in a very well to do neighborhood have baghdad. they could afford to pay smugglers to try to get them to greece. however the vast majority of people fleeing the violence in iraq lived in camps like these and can't afford the money for the smugglers so stay here. if they could afford to pay, they would leave. >> this camp west of baghdad houses those who fled from violence in anbar province. this family left there a year ago. they've been living like this ever since. they say they're losing hope. the oldest son spoke to us. >> i have family in turkey, and too embarrassed to ask for money. if i had money, i would leave iraq today. there's nothing for me here, violence at home, hardship in this camp.

>> this family never reached greece. they are now back in baghdad. according to the international organization of migration, some 6,000 iraqis have fled this year. that figure marks only the ones who registered. many leave camps like these risking their lives and putting them in the hands of smugglers with often tragic results. al jazeera, baghdad. >> israeli police have fought palestinians at the mosque compound in jerusalem. police say they entered the court yard to arrest palestinians throwing stones. the palestinian president abbas has condemned what he said was an attack against worshipers at the holy site. the confrontation comes hours before the start of the jewish new year. we are joined live from west jerusalem. i'm wondering how things have calmed down there, scott. >> they are calm now. it lasted for a couple of hours. this is pretty early in the

morning, just before dozen a.m. on local time when these clashes took place. it went on for a bit and when we saw some of that dramatic footage, tear gas fired, what appeared to be stun grenades, the mosque in the old city of jerusalem. then it carried on to some of the small alleys in the old city. that carried on for a bit. now it appears to be pretty calm. this is a very tense location, obviously, but also a very tense time mainly because of the beginning of the jewish new year at the end of the day sunday. that brings out more of the jewish faithful who also view the compound to be holy, so they go in there probably in bigger numbers than normal, so that elevates the tension, because of those, the muslims who are there at the mosque. during the normal periods during the year, there's tension because of access and things like that.

the israeli's obviously control the gate going into that compound. that's during normal times. during these times when you see many more people coming in, that's why there is tension raised. we saw something like this last year, too, during the jewish new year. it is something that has happened on going, but it got quite dramatic this morning. that lasted for a bit but now, it trick thereled on for a built but now is remaining calm. >> thank you very much. >> the compound is inside the old city, also known as the noble sanctuary. for many muslims, it is the third holiest site in islam after mecca and medina. it's also the most sacred site in judaism, known as the temple mount. israel captured the site in 1967 and annexed it with the rest of east jerusalem in a move that has never been recognized nationally. a spokesman for israeli police

says officers had no choice but to intervene. >> you can see for yourself in the footage that fireworks were fired from within inside the mosque, which is considered to be one of the holy sites were fired from inside and police officers outside. our police officers and that's our policies, only shut the front doors without entering the mosque whatsoever, but our police units patrol the temple mount area is safe, in public order and because it's within such a close area of the western wall, there are hundreds of people operating on the other side, and in the western wall area, it's necessary for us to intervene. the heightened security taking place is a standard measure with the jewish festivals inside jerusalem and thousands of people will be visiting the old city and the different areas in order to celebrate. >> the secretary general of the palestinian national initiative

says what happened was an act of aggression. >> the they are lying. they have lied many times before and they are lying again. i think respectful t.v. stations would not listen to their lies. you should investigate objectively what happened. i believe on objective examination of the situation, as you can see, how can throw tear gas bombs inside a mosque, inside a place people pray peacefully. as you can see from the scenes, the army is using the fire bombs and tear gas and is the one practicing aggression. the other hand what israeli is trying to do is impose a system of racism where jewish israelis are given privileges, not only at the eastern wall be but those who enter the mosque, the islamic site which is very holy to israeli people. will they allow me to go in and pray in the mosque, will they allow me to go and pray near the western wall, any palestinian?

of course not. we are living through a system of apartheid, racial discrimination and when an israeli minister himself an illegal settler in the territories enters the mosques, they are provoking reege feelings and conflict and this is unacceptable. >> coming up on the al jazeera news hour: >> i'm in port-au-prince haiti where the international red cross is accused of misusing half a billion dollars raised after the earthquake. >> a president accused of widening political divisions by making controversial appointments. >> in sport, roger federer bids to become the most successful player in modern u.s. open history. we look ahead to his final with djokovic.

elections are taking operation cruelty russia, the government barring all opposition candidates from the poll. they faced physical and political intimidation. peter sharp joined one of the few opposition candidates on the campaign trail. >> it's almost a clan did he say tine affair, a handful of elderly people as he can included in their amounts gathered to meet the young opposition candidate. he'll have six of these meetings every day. a bodyguard stands close. the level of political, physical intimidation of opposition parties has changed the very face of election campaigns in putin's authoritarian russia. >> you should realize that all the possible methods are used against our campaign. they have dispersed our campaigners, detained me and physically attacked my volunteers. >> proof of that back in the

campaign headquarters, three hours earlier, the party organizer was struck down with a blow from behind as a morning rally. he is still waiting for an ambulance. >> there were no emergency services. the police won't do anything. >> this region alex is taking place amid the worst economic crisis since putin came to power 15 years ago and the timing has the kremlin rattled. >> because of the very difficult economic situation and no improvements, no economic improvement in site, of course the kremlin is concerned. >> under existing election laws, parties have to gather signatures to prove they can attract 3% of the electorate. the authorities have managed to disbar virtually all opposition parties by claiming their signatures were forced. under these conditions, it's little wonder the pro putin factions like these canvassing bears or united russian party are feeling optimistic about

today's vote, the party telling us these are free and fair elections. the opposition would differ. >> there is an overwhelming sense of confidence among the pro kremlin candidates in this election that borders often complacency. many haven't bothered to campaign and some haven't filled in their election manifestos. the argument goes why bother. regional acting governors across the areas have already been validated and endorsed by president putin in an election like this. that's more than enough to secure victory on the day. >> we knew this would not be a walk in the park. they let us participate here, just to get us in a trap. for us to lose this election and for everyone to see it, we expected the challenge and are doing everything possible to get people's support and to win. >> five hours was a he was seattle, the ambulance shows up to take the young party organizer to hospital.

he was diagnosed with a brain injury. peter sharp, al jazeera. >> a russian political analyst joins us live from moscow. good to have you on the show with me. you hear the term over and over again, the phrase, rather, why bother. with that in mind, are these elections important? >> they are probably important to the kremlin to prove once again that it has the ultimate power, that the election has preordained results. this can be seen as a rehearsal of the national election in 2016. otherwise, i don't think so and why boris indeed the perception among the many russian people, who wouldn't turn out for this election, because they know the results. actually fits the kremlin's in rest, because the pro putin voters come and others who don't feel strongly about the

government simply stay home. >> in peter's piece, we saw you there talking about how the kremlin is worried at the moment from an economic point of view, but why should they be worried considering that they've pretty much got this wrapped up? >> well, you know, in order to be confident, you have to get prepared. you don't leave anything to chances. this has been the policy for years, the kremlin has control over the political scene. it makes sure, it has made sure for years that there is no serious political challenge and has achieved what it south. it takes effort, doesn't come by itself. therefore, each time, they make sure there is control, and they can control competition. there is one region in russia where opposition, liberal opposition, a coalition of liberal forces was allowed to run, but this is because the government has been permissive. elsewhere, it was not. >> the opposition has been all but wiped out, if i can put it

that dramatically. the country's also going through a very bad stage, the sanctions, the economic situation, what's happening from a foreign policy point of view and yet putin and his allies seem to be at an all time high considering his popularity. how does it work that way? >> well, actually, putin enjoys an approval rating of over 80%, over way more than a year now and this is because he has proven that he can stand up to the west, that despite the sanctions, russia and putin as its embodiment, as its leaders stand proud. you can describe it as a force tress under siege. you have to trust your leader to defend you. he is the only one who can defend you. you have to be loyal and those who probably are disloyal are seen as suspicious. >> good to talk to you, thank

you. >> less than 24 hours after what is described as the biggest upset in politics for decades, several members of the senior opposition party have resigned their cabinet post, their post to the election leftwinger. many senior labor figures think corbin socialist views will make it impossible for the party to be reelected to office, but many who support him think his views will resonate with voters disillusioned by years of economic austerity. paul dronen is following developments for us in london. >> nearly 60% of the party voted in support. even civil war or plot to out of the him at this early stage i think is fanciful. this is an opposition party looking for its direction, for

where it's going to go next and how it's going to effectively put its arguments forward, given the fact that it's going to be out of power for a minimum of power and a half years. as far as the right wing press or the general media here in the u.k., i can show you some of the newspapers. the left-leaning observer newspaper says corbin hails his huge mandate also he sets out his leftwing agenda. it does warn that principle is nothing without achieves political power at the end of it. the sunday telegraph, which is more right-leaning says the death of new labor as its headline. he wins by a landslide, leftwinger tom watson makes history, his deputy as unions taking control of the party. we're going to hear a lot more about it i think as the months pass. the sunday times, corbin sparks labor civil war is the front

page, picture of corbin there. the male on sunday, the most critical of labor, a very critical right leaning newspaper says red, red of course being the color of the socialist flag that jeremy corbin would ally himself under. >> 16 people are missing after severe floods in japan. 100,000 people have been displaced. our reporter is among the hardest-hit areas. >> moving quickly to try to repair the break along the river, officials are concerned that the typhoon season isn't over in japan and they need to plug that gap as quickly as possible before the we're level prizes. again, there had actually been a plan in place to fortify all the banks along the river so they could withstand the sort of rainfall that might occur once every 10 years. clearly that plan came too late

for this disaster. there are still thousands of people in evacuation centers. clearly areas like this, too devastated or damaged for people to be able to return to just yet. still a lot of water lying around, infrastructure has been destroyed in ployses like this, so people simply can't come back to their homes, and some may not be able to return for quite some time. still a lot of water lying around. officials have brought in more pumps to try to lower the water level as quickly as possible. >> nepal's earthquake in april displaced hundreds of thousands of people, billions of dollars pledged to help the victims. people have received very little aid and are struggling to survive. >> blue tents, some tarps and a handful of branches to hold the sheets, this community forest has been transformed into a temporary shelter. people from surrounding villages walked for days to come here.

more than 300 families displaced by april's earthquake of living here. he walked 13 hours from his village to get here. >> i have a family of nine. my family is back in the village, living under tarps along with my livestock. we don't have food or mattress or blankets. landslides have blocked all roads to my village. >> 19 people died from his village and not one house was left standing. he received $150 from the government, meant for tin sleets for temporary shelters, instead, he has brought wood problem the forest. the money has long since run out. now he has to go back and pick up his family. villagers here say that the last time they got food aid was two months ago, before the monsoon rains made the dirt road treacherous. >> nepal government raised $4 billion for earthquake

victims to rebuild their lives and homes. a special authority was formed to expedite the process, but almost five months on, not a cent of that money has been spent as the authorities term expired before they could start working. >> by the time the new authority is set and work starts, half a year would having by. >> other countries, negotiation handling the political crisis, the bureaucracy is working too slowly. once the reconstruction offer is there from planling commission side, we have all those documents. >> more than 130 students cram in two small tent structures. two teachers here say that students need textbooks and stationery. locals are eager to talk to us. they have terrifying accounts of how they came here. >> we used a rope to repel down to escape our village, but we

have nothing here. those who died are dead, but how will we survive without food and shelter, she asked. there are hardly any toilets here. one person told me how four people had to be taken to the hospital for vomiting and diarrhea. the ambulance came halfway and they carried the parties. >> in the winter, snow falls in these hills. many of the quake survivors came here with just the clothes on their back. without a proper shelter, they say surviving the winter will be a real challenge. al jazeera, nepal. >> let's find out how close winter weather really is. >> thankfully no sign yet, but it will come in suddenly, probably within a month or two. the satellite picture reveals the number of showers still around. the last 24 hours, the biggest

tops of the bangladesh, but obviously, you've got the potential to get huge sums in nepal. the last 24 hours, 20 millimeters. you've seen storms dropping 70-100 within the last month and still kathmandu eastward, there is still a threat of that happening. 27-34 is a good range. by night, most places are still in the teens. it hasn't yet got cold even by night, making it more of a big shock. the majority of the rain is going to be where the brighter top clouds are in the south here. in this next day, the circulation in the bay of bengal will tend to concentrate, but does not stop showers being thrown up in nepal and big thunderstorms are quite possible as a result of that. you come out of the wet season, of course the thing that's been the news and is every time particularly an el niño year,

dry skies, and fires easily start. that's a good part of indonesia and there's no rain to stop that just yet. >> they were given sanctuary in uruguay, but these syrians who fled the war would rather go home. >> bringing out the paint brushes and creative side ahead of a visit by pope francis. >> floyd mayweather pledges to help the next generation of fighters following his retirement from boxing.

>> the u.n. special envoy to syria will submit his peace plan in cairo. the minister spent the past year meeting different sides involved in the conflict. he says there is a general agreement that a political solution is the only way forward. his predecessor resigned in may last year after failed talks in geneva. >> some syrians who fled fighting in their country have found refuge in south america. they say there is no future for them and they need to leave so they can find better jobs.

>> they came from lebanon last year, five syrian families escaping war. the uruguayan government gave them asylum. now some want to leave. >> this widow's husband died in aleppo. she said life here is not what she was expecting. >> they promised us everything, but there's no future here for me or my children. everything is expensive here. i work, but it's not enough. >> uruguay received 42 people from syria. they were given financial assistance for two years, a home and a promise of a better life, but these people say that life is not what they expected. >> even though the government has given these refugees a home, they've been spending time in

this warehouse. they say they want to go from here to the airport. >> the government has provided them with i.d.'s and travel documents. not all countries recognize them and they deny them entry. this man was a farmer in aleppo. he said he is thankful for what he has been given but is afraid of what happens once the government help ends. >> i ask all the countries to help me giving a living to move kids. uruguay is expensive, life is expensive. i can't live here. >> the human rights secretary here says those uncertainties are expected during the process. >> we believe that after two years, people are ready to fly on their own, that's why the state stops supporting them. after that, they can get everything a uruguayen citizen gets, health care and a house.

we can't give them more than other people. >> uruguay is getting ready to receive 72 more refugees, but what is happening with the families already here has raised concerns, another example that escaping conflict is only the beginning of a difficult and long journey ahead. >> the american red cross is accused of squandering money donated to rebuild haiti after the 2010 earthquake. the organization raised half a billion dollars for aid and reconstruction, but critics say there is very little to show for it. we have this report from port-au-prince. >> clinging to the steep ravines of port-au-prince, the neighborhood is slowly rebuilding. like many communities, it was devastated by the earthquake of 2010, but it's here that the american red cross and partners say they are doing some of their best work, new roads and bridges are being constructed by haitian

trained workers and throughout the community, homes are being built and refurbished. she feels everyone here is in and out rich and that life is so much better now that they're no longer living in tents. >> we've had particular attention to the quality, also. >> the american red cross which raised close to half a billion dollars is accused of letting the people of haiti down by squandering money and failing to deliver aid to those most in need. one of the most serious accusations is that they only built six new homes, something the red cross leaders here say is nothing short of a dangerous life. >> in that sense, i feel very sad about that, because those are lives that we will not be able to save in the future, if the population does not have that confidence that they should have, and that's because we are doing a great job. >> the charity tells us they

face serious challenges with land rights but claim every dollar raised has been invested wisely. they did acknowledge that the months after the earthquaking were chaotic and former employees criticizing aid efforts are understandable given the stress they were under. they point to their work here, investments in other parts of the country as examples of real progress. >> i've been coming to haiti since the earthquake and have watched many different communities trying to rebuild, but nothing on this scale or to these standards. if this is the red cross's flagship progress, it certainly seems to be making big strides. >> they are doing good things, better things now, but at the time, it was a mess. >> the prime minister at the time of the earthquake and oversaw reconstruction efforts has been a vocal critic of the american red cross and other n.g.o.'s, claiming most arear grand and ignore the haitian authorities in the crucial details after the quake. >> they have the same global attitude, we have the solution, we are going to do that and you

don't have to tell me what to do with the money that i receive perhaps in your name, but i'm responsible for that money and responsible to give explanation, i don't have to give you explanation. >> the american red cross reputation is under scrutiny. the organization denied all accusations leveled. some feel foreign based charities and n.g.o.'s need to involve haitians more so they can gain the independence they wanted for so long. andy gallagher, al jazeera, port-au-prince, haiti. >> a wildfire in california has forced nearly 2,000 people to leave their homes. the blaze began in lake county north of san francisco. four firefighters suffered burns trying to put out the flames. california has been experiencing a drought and hasn't had rainfall in months. >> nigeria's president is accused of marginalizing people from the southeast. he has made dozens of new

appointments since elected in may, but the majority chosen from his own region in the north. we have this report. >> this is a meeting of activists on the national youth alliance. they represent the ethnic tribe from southeastern nigeria. they're angry in the president hasn't given anyone in their region any of the top jobs. he has given 24 out of 31 jobs to people from his own region, the north. >> the president has all right appointed pointes and none come from the southeast. these appointments are the ones that include the policies of the government. >> among mus pointees are from s

region. >> in the 1960s, people from the southeast tried to break away from nigeria, which led to years of civil war. many here feel that's the reason they are marginalized and excluded from getting top jobs. >> nobody has proven that he ever made anti-government statements or sentiments. there are cabinet positions, according to the constitution, there must be one state. there are ambassador positions, many ambassador positions. then there are board positions,

do you know how many, 601 board positions. nobody should talk about marginalization, it is not real. >> people are demanding the president counsel some of those appointments. the activists say they will call for prosecutor tests if people in the southeast are not represented in government. >> south africa's steel industry is in deep trouble. more than 30,000 jobs are at risk and many blame steel imports from china. >> he is spending his day off from work in his family. he's been a furnace operator at steel manufacture arcelor mittal for years. >> we have affected by imports,

because of the people that are cutting their order from our side of the country. because of that, we don't have orders. >> he is promised to be moved to another plant, but he is worried. >> everyone is depending on me. when i look at the future of my kids, i don't see anything good about it. >> south africa's steel sector employs 200,000 people, but the industry's in big trouble. >> he is just one of thousands of workers who could be laid off in the next few months. the steel sector is struggling to survive in tough market conditions. with more than 70% of this community alone dependent on the industry, businesses and unions are scrambling to save jobs. with a devalued currency and low manufacturing cost, chinese steel is flooding the market and threatens local jobs. steel imports have gone up by 20% in the last year.

unions want government to protect the local industry by hiking tariffs and banning the exportation of scrap. >> we view this as nothing less than a national crisis. we think that for any pant who has got to job -- if you allow this industry to be destroyed, it will take more than 10 years to try and rebuild it. >> there may not be a clear-cut solution. >> the sting in the whole thing is that if you give protection at the beginning of the pipeline, everybody down the line will suffer from it. when you protect your economies, normally, you get price escalation, you get lower growth, et cetera, so there is a danger that if we go too far to the other side with the pendulum that we will run into the same constraints. >> the union said the response from government appears to be positive, but with talks resuming weeks from now, he

faces an anxious wait. al jazeera, johannesburg. >> still ahead, this is the way i would like to say goodbye to tennis. >> new u.s. open champion makes a dramatic announcement following the women's final. all the details coming up in sport.

intractable problems, i want to tell you it is also in the role of innovation and creativity that is going to make a difference. >> transforming public spaces and in doing so, transforming lives. philadelphia, pennsylvania. >> let's get to sport now. >> jane, thank you very much. later on sunday, roger federer will take on djokovic in the final of the u.s. open at flushing head dose. federer, playing in his first final since 2009 will be going for his sixth u.s. open title. if he beats djokovic, he will become the most successful player in the history of the u.s. open. that's in the modern era. the modern era began around 1968. federer and djokovic are undoubtedly the two biggest names in men's tennis now and have had quite a rivalry over the years. djokovic has nine grand slam titles as compared to federer's 17. when it comes to the u.s. open,
