offensive in yemen has tas the heurmanitarian crisis gets worse . >> i am charlie angela at the venice film festival while the golden lion prize has been aw d awarded to a first time zenzn director. german authorities have temporarily reintrourtsz border contro controls. a decision puts more pressure on the eu's policy of open borders among its members, 13,000 people arrived in munich on saturday with thousands more expected on sunday. authorities say the city is full to capacity. rob reynolds join you see us on the line now from berlin. rob, what more can you tell us about why germany is enforcing these border controls now and how long they are likely to remain in place?

>> well, it's how long the border controls will remain in place. no one actually knows at this point, marian, but to give you a little bit of the background on this, the people have been flooding in to munich and the state of bavaria has been saying it is really at full capacity. there was a massive trade fair center they fixed up with cots but that's overflowing with so many tens of thousands coming in. in a brief statement earlier today, german interior minister said germ local impose border controls. the main focus being for the time being austria to limit the streams of refugees and return to orderly procedures. it's also meant to address security, he said, without elaborating.

he said germany will observe eu laws but he stressed asylum seekers cannot pick and choose which country to go to even if the eu winds up agreeing to a europe-wide common stem for refugees and asylum seekers. germany's helpfulness, he said, cannot be overstretched. >> we know earlier on, there had been a defendant warning that munich, the entry point for many of these refugees, is at full capacity. a lot of concern from the authorities there. can you give us an idea of the specific problems they are facing in terms of moving the refugees on terms of temporary housing perhaps? >> they haven't got very much temporary housing. there has been talk of setting up tent cities. this has happened quickly over the courts of the week, tens of thousands of people have come in

13,000 on saturday alone. that's a lot of people. all of these refugees are trying to get to places where they have friends and family. when we were in munich a few days ago, we spoke to people, for example, a woman from sudan who said i am going to paris. i have relatives there, another senalgalese many said i am on my way to spain because my brothers and sisters live there. the refugees don't want to stay in temporary places, but there are a certain number. you have no place to go those are winding up sleeping on cots or something else. now, what this means in terms of the flow of refugees: it really seems like it's a stream of water and if it is blocked in one place, it flows to another place. so we could see refugees trying to enter germany now from other places. there are other borders that the

czech republic, excuse me. so these are all possibilities. but at this point we just don't know how long these extraordinary border controls are going to remain in place and how long it will be before the germans feel they have a handle on the situation. >> thank you very much, rob reynolds bringing us all of the latest on the this from the germap capital, berlin while hungary has ed temporary border controls saying it's necessary to protect german and european values. these are live pictures getting from the scene on hungary's oarer where thousands are waiting to make the journey north to germany and possibly beyond. telling us germany is their final destination. while european politicians continue to try to find a solution to the crisis, refugees are continuing to arrive on europe's shores in the thousands. on the greek island, jonah, we

fireworks were fired from inside the mosque, could be to be one of the holy sites. that is our pole shot the front doors' without entering inside the mosque whatsoever. but our police united states do patrol the templeman area to make sure it's safe, public order and also because it's within such a close area of the western wall where there are hundreds of people that are praying on the other side and i am talking about where the western wall area is necessary for our offices to immediately intervene. the heightened security taking place in jerusalem is a standard security measure which is due to the fact that we have the jewishfested values over the next couple of weeks inside jerusalem and thousands will be vicinity, the old city in the different areas in order to celebrate. >> the secretary general of the palestinian national initiative has accused the israel police of being dishonest. >> the israel police is lying. they have lied many times before. they are lying again. i think respectful stv stations
