5:05 pm
next step european politicians try to come up with a solution, refugees continue to arrive. in greece, the coast guard pulled the bod yours of 34 out of the sea after a boat capsized off the island on sunday. half of those victims are believed to be young children. it's the latest tragedy on the busiest route to europe. thousands arrive on the greek island every day, as jonah hull reports from lesbos. . the pace of arrival in the refugee camp has changed. what has changed is the base at which they are able to leave. under pressure from the agency and the e.u., up to 2,000 a day are registered.
5:06 pm
almost the same number of those landing on the island from turkey every day. chaos and disorder turned to calm efficiency. >> my friend told me not to come, it's pressure. >> reporter: now it's better. >> i'm surprised what he told me and what i saw, it's a big difference. >> the transformation of the camp since i was last here is extraordinary. two weeks ago this was a squalid, woeful place. thousands living rough for days on end, with virtually no assistance. there are decent sanitation facilities, proper sent, medical facilities, and there's a feeding station freely distributing food.
5:07 pm
i hate to think how this man would have coped before. faisal was shot through both legs during an attack in the university of raqqa, he was studying biology. what does it mean to you to be here in europe, away from syria? >> translation: i've made my way through struggle and hardship. take take great risks to seek medical qup assistance. there are specialists treating the conditions. the greek government pushed the government to lay on for. people paid for the tips. -- paid for their tickets, of course. >> they are saying maybe one hour later it would be 80. what should be do. >> reporter: you have a long journey ahead of you and other expenses along the way. >> yes, five, six countries to go. >> reporter: in a few days, more than 30,000 refugees and
5:08 pm
mying rabbits rants left lesbos. good news for this island and for them, bad news for the crowded road ahead that will get busier hungary has praised germany's decision to implement border controls. the right wing hungarian government passed laws to stop refugees crossing the borders. soldiers are at the border waiting for them to begin on tuesday. there's some solidarity with refugees in the country. mohammed jamjoom reports. >> reporter: it's a border that gets more chaotic and sinister by the hour. where the soldiers are imposing and the razor wire is dangerous, and still the refugees arriving. hungary's government couldn't have made its decision clearer. but in a church minutes away, a sunday sermon sends a different message. here, they are urged to open
5:09 pm
their hearts and homeses to refugees. >> translation: what we feel here is that there's an enormous need for humanitarian aid. this is why we try to help them as much as we can, trying to show sympathy this father tells me while the amount of compassion as been enormous, fears are growing. >> they are understandably afraid to some extent. with the waves of refugees they see every day. as they need to help, they are here ready to act. >> the sentiment may be simple, but the issue is anything but in taking the stance, the father is not just justifying the government, he's justifying church leadership. they cannot take in refugees, it would amount to human trafficking. members of the church are
5:10 pm
conflicted. >> to live together with this many people who are coming. >> reporter: this woman and her husband, teachers, coog the refugees need help, but disagree how they are going about seeking refuge. >> if they are real refugees, they can come in the normal way, not this other way, how they are trying. >> reporter: outside the church are other reminders to be charitable to the refugees. these seek donations for the children. this father's faith may be strong, but it does not less on his concern over how the crisis is being handled. >> we see no guidance from the government as to what a wide solution would be. >> reporter: down the road on the border with serbia tensions are rising as fast as this camp is expanding. two days ago there weren't
5:11 pm
nearly this many tents or trash piles. here where hope has been stopped in its tracks, many barely have a prayer to cling to well i'm joined by a member of the european parliament. he'll attend an extraordinary session of the justice and home affairs council to address the migrant crisis. a warm welcome to the programme. you and i have been talking about this over the last few weeks, what do you think about the latest move from germany. >> it's a directed and focused strategy by the interior minister of germany, germany could have done this is the any time. it has nine shangan borders. what it is doing here is sending a signal, a signal to hungary, and all of the reluctant countries who will meet tomorrow, the justice and home affairs meeting. that is the crunch meeting, and
5:12 pm
germany is saying to them is we have had enough. we are taking huge numbers, we could take more, but if you don't share the burden and express solidarity, there's a quid quo pro, that we are not opening shangan for you and your needs if you don't share the burden. what they are saying to eastern europe is not to take the numbers of, but stop the hostility, aggression and humiliation of refugees as it happens in hungary and do minimum. and it's sending a clear message. other things are going on. shangan is a flexible instrument. it is actually a flexible thing, if there's an emergency situation, you can close it temporarily, and germany has the right to do that. they are leading on the issue. >> do you think the move will moection minds to get the -- focus minds enough to get the conversation out.
5:13 pm
until now, to get a consensus is nigh on impossible. >> it's a good phrase you used at the starting blocks. that's all it would do. i'm pessimistic about tomorrow. i don't think the central european countries are politically in the right place. i think they are hostile. there's internal political pressures. germany, sweden - i don't think they do too much. countries are too small to make a huge difference now. france is kind of in the middle. the starting block is right. germany will get everyone to the starting block. they'll do something good, it won't be good enough, and they'll have to meet again. the crisis is not going away. >> the big thing i think is worrying is those in camps, winter is coming.
5:14 pm
we need an answer now. >> we need an answer. winter is coming. things will be worse. lebanon, and the saturation of the camp keeps coming to europe. it needs to be sort out. and taking people from the camp: as you said, the journalies will become more protect airious. i think germany is doing the right thing, taking the lead here, saying we are not going to play ball with you, if you express solidarity. this will be messies, but it has to be messy. until the european union realising that we are not taking the burden. we need to do it. that needs to be sorted out. germany, at least, is taking a
5:15 pm
stand. i hope that succeeds. but only partially succeeds tomorrow. >> we might get out of the starting blocks. thank you for joining us with your thoughts. >> still to come on al jazeera - japan's prime minister visits the areas hit by the worst flooding in 60 years. >> the victims of nepal's earthquake awaiting help to rebuild their lives. and we'll hear from roger federer as he goes for a record sixth title at the us open israeli police fought with palestinians at the al-aqsa mosque, entering the courtyard to arrest palestinians throwing stones. the palestinian president mahmoud abbas condemned the move
5:16 pm
which he said was an attack against worshippers at the holy site. scott heidler reports. >> reporter: they are all too familiar scenes inside the al-aqsa mask complex. people running from tear gas, and ruging from stun grenades. israeli police said they entered to clear the area of mass youths. police officers - our policy is to shut the front doors without entering into the al-aqsa mosque. police units control the temple mount area. public order, and because it's within a closer area of the western wall, where are hundreds of people praying on the other side. it is necessary for the officers to intervene. >> reporter: over the years the
5:17 pm
status has become highly politicized. >> there is a small part of the temple mount it is our duty to preserve. last week the israeli defence minister banned two muslim security groups that controlled the compound. the defenders of islam say they are protecting islam's third holiest site. israel accused them of provoking clashes. in a statement the palestinian president mahmoud abbas condemned what he called an attack by israel. the presidency strongly condemned the attack by the military and the police against the al-aqsa mosque, and aggression against the faithful that were there. >> as you can see from the scene, the army is using the fire bombs and tear gas. they are practicing aggression. on the other hand, israel is imposing a system of racism, where jewish israelis are given
5:18 pm
privileges violence spreads to other parts of the old city. each side blaming the other. al-aqsa is a focal point of distrust and intention egypt's military says it killed 53 loyal to the islam are -- loyal to islamic state of iraq and levant. 53 others are arrested in an operation in the sinai province. a military spokesman said more than 30 hideouts and depots were destroyed, launching a campaign to uproot fighters loyal to i.s.i.l. more than 300 have been killed, including egyptian soldiers. >> the saudi-led coalition launched a ground offensive in yemen. an estimated 10,000 have descended. it's an oil rich area. 170km east of the capital. troops are trying to drive out
5:19 pm
houthi rebels that control the areas along the road. the aim is to retake the capital so the president can return. over 4,000 people have died in the war. as reported, the country is in the grip of a deepening humanitarian crisis. they use any means possible. this include the old way of doing things. for five months supplies of water and electricity have been scarce. where once there was plenty, these are difficult times. >> translation: people have having a hard time finding water. we walked for 50km a day to get supplies to the rural areas. >> tough conditions have not stopped people flocking to the camps. hundreds came hoping to join the military, itself suffering limited resources. >> translation: we are training people in a way making them able
5:20 pm
to secure the city and defend from possible attacks. >> reporter: the fighting ended a few weeks ago. intensity was too clear. it is a city producing three yemeni presidents, and is a city with a history of armed conflict. now it's looking at the past to face the future. >> reporter: activists say russian forces are building a military run way in syria. the british based syrian observatory for human rights said the site in latakia is capable of holding large aircraft and adds that russia has brought hundreds of technicians and military advisors to that site two turkish police officers have been killed in the south of the country. five officers were injured in that class. fighters from the kurdistan workers party have been blamed
5:21 pm
for the attack 16 people are still missing after severe floods in eastern japan. one of the places worst hit had 5,000 residents waiting to return home. wayne hay is there with more. officials moved quickly to try to repair the break in the riverbank along the river. they are concerned, of course, that the typhoon season is not over in japan, and they need to plug the gap as quickly as possible before the water level rises. there was a plan in place to fortify all the banks along the river so they could withstand the rain fall that might occur once every 10 years, clearly that plan came too late for this disaster. there's thousands of people in evacuation centers. areas like this too devastated and damaged for people to be able to return to just yet. still a lot of water lying
5:22 pm
around. infrastructure has been destroyed in places like this. people can't come back to their homes, and some may not be able to return for some time. as i say, a lot of water laying around. officials 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 have been pledged to help the victims and as reported, people have received little aid and are worried about how they'll make it through the coming winter. >> blue tents. tarpaulins and a handful of branches to hold the streets. this community has been transformed into a temporary shelter. people walked for days to come here from surrounding villages. more than 300 families displace said by the april earthquake are living here.
5:23 pm
this person walks 13 hours from his village to get here. >> i have a family of nine. my family is back in the village living under the tarpaulin, along with livestock. we don't have food, mattress or blanket. landslides blocked access to my village. >> 19 died from the village. not one house was left standing. he receives $150 from the government, meant for tin sheets for shelters. there are no shops. instead he bought wood from the forest. the money has long since run out. now he has to go back and pick up his family. villages say that the last time they got food aid was two months although, before the monsoon rains made the dirt road treacherous. >> in july there will 4,000 was made. a social authority was formed to expedite the process. almost five months on, not a
5:24 pm
cent of that money has been spent. as the authorities term expired before it could start working. >> by the time the new authorities worked out, half a year would have gone by. >> there's more focus on the constitution, handling the political crisis. it's working, but too slowly. once the opportunity is there, from the planning commission side, we made the documents work. >> more than 130 students cram in two small tin structures. the two teachers here say students need textbooks and stationary. locals are eegser to talk to us. they have terrifying account of how they came here. we use a rope to scope the village. those that die are dead. how will we survive without food
5:25 pm
and shelter. there are hardly any toilets here. one told me how four made it to the hospital. the ambulance came halfway, and they carried the patients. another. in the winter, snow fall in the hills. many of the survivors came here with just the clothes on their back. without shelter, surviving the winter would be a real challenge, they say. >> reporter: around 20,000 took to the streets of moldova's capital, demanding the resignation of the president and other officials over the disappearance of 1.5 billion from three banks. the money banished before the parliamentary election last year. >> still to come on the al jazeera newshour. campaigning - how physical
5:26 pm
5:29 pm
hello there. welcome back. a reminder of the top stories on al jazeera. german authorities temporarily reintroduced border controls with austria, in a bid to rer introduce thousands trying to get into the country. the greek coast guard threw the body of 307 refugees out the sea, after a boat capsized on sunday israeli police fought with the palestinians at the al-aqsa mosque compound in jerusalem. >> the arrival of refugees in italy lead to broad political division, particularly in the north, where there's growing anti-refugee sentiment,
5:30 pm
following calls for every parish to host a refugee family, some say it's not the right course of action. harry fawcett reports. >> reporter: it's a happy sunlit afternoon, two ski instructors got married. time to celebrate a new onion wish them well. for many, the future -- a new union, wishing them well. for many, they protested asylum seekers using a disused hotel. more than 1,000 signed against the plan. this man is driving the action with the help of an anti-migrant movement. they doubt the new arrivals are genuine refugees, and it's not racist to point out there's no work or chance of integration. >> what happens when they leave the center. you know what is happening elsewhere.
5:31 pm
they killed a couple. they are close to a school here. >> the men that inspire such fears are a few hunt meter up the road. now, under 24 hour police guard, they can't venture beyond the line. they are not bad people. and all we want is for them to help patients for us. when i talked to the opponents. they freely admit since it opened. it brought no real problems, that life went on pretty much as it did before. what they talk about is fear, fear of the future criminality, fear of tourism numbers and a grievance. a sense that the young men had it easy at the expense of the tax payer. young people here struggle to
5:32 pm
make a living. what of the pope's call for every one of 500 parishes to host refugees. even this priest says now is not the right time. >> reporter: first we need to educate people that others are not the enemy. we have to love and welcome them. they are people that respect the idea for the future. that it's the same as ours. >> reporter: for now the men at the refugee center say their idea of a future is peace and a chance to work. unlike others that have settled here, they have no chance to neat others, isolated within an -- chance to meet others, isolated within an isolated town. all they can do is wait the crisis is felt in the refugees home countries, many are fleeing iraq, relying on people smugglers to take them to greece. as imran khan reports, not everyone survives the journey.
5:33 pm
>> reporter: they mourn their children. nine-year-old hyder and 11-year-old zena. the family left iraq for turkey. from there, smugglers promised them they'd get them to greece. in a rubber dingy meant to hold five people, smugglers packed in 10. a few kilometres off the coast, it capsized. this was the same boat that the 3-year-old who watched up on the turkish coast was on. the image of his body laying on the beach shocked many around the world. zena and hoda's death went unnoticed. the mother describing the moment she lost her children. >> the boat capsized on my head and my children's head. they were wearing the life jackets. they floated on the surface. the sea waves were huge. the boat was on top of them. i was beside them.
5:34 pm
i sensed my daughter's hand touching me. i was not wearing a life jacket. i kept going under. the coast guards came to us after an hour. we looked for them during the night. we could not find them. the next morning the tide brought the bodies to shore. >> reporter: this family lived in a well to do area of baghdad. they could afford to pay smugglers to get them to peace. the vast majority live in camps and can't afford the smugglers. if they could afford to pay, they would leave. the camp, west of baghdad houses those who fled. the family left there a year ago. living like this ever since. they say they are losing home. this is the oldest son. >> i have family in turkey, i'm
5:35 pm
embarrassed to ask for money. if i had money, i would leave. violence from home, hardship. >> the family never reached greece, and they are back in baghdad. according to the international organisation of migration, some 6,000 iraqis fled. that marks only the ones that registered. more refused to go the official route. some leaving camps, risking their lives, putting them in the hands of smugglers, with tragic results algeria's president replaced the head of the military intelligence agency. the decision was seen as an attempt to reduce the former spy chief's influence in politics. he has been gown as the kingmaker, and has been replaced by his deputy. for more, i'm joined from tunis by a north african political
5:36 pm
analyst. a warm welcome to the programme. the word is that he resigned. what do you think is the reason behind his departure. >> well, of course, yes, as you say, that is the official reason. it's a possibility that the guy is 76 years old. he's been hitting this department around 25 years now, and has been working since the "50s. that's a possibility. as we know in the arab world, it's not always - it's not always the case that people like this general live by their own will. where we know that for the last, i think, three years, there were a lot of talks and a lot of conflicts between the presidency of the republic, and the plan around the president, and his minister of defence, the
5:37 pm
minister of defence. there is a clear struggle between the presidency and the military from one side, and the security services, the intelligence service from the other side. over the last year, actually, there were a lot of departments taken out of his jurisdiction and given to the head of the army. and of chief of staff. even recently this year, actually, there was several officials close to the general arrested. one of them being the former head of the counterterrorism forces. and it seems that over the last month, there were abbing sell rated attempts -- accelerated attempts to take his powers. and i think now the president, the group around the president took the bold move, actually, to remove the general, something not a single president of
5:38 pm
algeria managed to do or dareded to do. >> is this - is the broader end game here, is it about preparing the ground for after he leaves power. is that part of it? >> so what people around the president say is that by removing him opens the way for a transition towards a civilian presidency in algeria, and civilian politics game in algeria. i don't think this will be the case. now that he has been removed, the army is still there. the army around the generals and others. so i think, yes, perhaps preparing the succession, he is taking his - giving his - putting someone who was a
5:39 pm
permanent opener to his presidency and his group. he's putting him on the side. but he's not - i don't think he's securing anything in the future. the army is still there. and they have a lot of interest that will on the long run be - not agree with the priorities of the group. so i think this is just a move, but in the coming days we'll see, perhaps, more resignations, more like this, more moves like this, and perhaps some action in nigeria. >> joining me live from tunis, thank you. now, it's a controversial issue deciding whether people should be given the right to die in instances where they are terminally ill or in pain. it's an issue going to the core of what it means to be human, and it's been front and center. friday, california approved a bill allowing doctors to prescribe terminally ill but
5:40 pm
competent patients a pill to end their lives, it's waiting a sign off from the government. friday, british m.p.s rejected legislation that would allow the right to die for terminally ill patients in england or wales. earlier france passed legislation allowing patient to be placed in a deep sleep. most french people support the idea of assisted dying well, there's a similar attitude in the netherlands where the practice has been illegal. some are concerned that the practice might be getting out of hand. we have this report from amsterdam. >> reporter: in the nether lands the debate is not whether if assisted dying should be allowed, but how. it's been legal since 2002. to counterone in 25 deaths, and
5:41 pm
the numbers are growing. the doctor helped dozens of people end their lives. youthan asia\can be requested on the dutch health service, for many, it's a daunting task. what do you say to them? >> usually i say, and for me, it's a privilege to know you. you are a courageous man. and i'm glad. >> euthanasia is allowed under certain conditions. if a person is suffering pain, and the illness is incurrable, and they make the decision to die. every year here in the netherlands, the boundaries surrounding youthan asia\widens purght. what begins as a meet of helping those, extent to other people suffering pain, mental illnesses like depression and dimensiona, opening a new debate.
5:42 pm
this woman lost her husband. he was one of holland's best-loved poet. he suffered with severe depression. he suffered with a mental illness to be allowed euthanasia. >> he was ready to go. he was full of love, and he didn't have any fear any more. >> reporter: since it was legalized 40,000 dutch people have been granted euthanasia. holland's churches have been opposed to it. they believe it exposes vulnerable people to excuse. objections are also being voiced by those that help shape the law, such as the dutch. >> the law was designed to be for extreme emergencies. what we see is 10-15 years.
5:43 pm
euthanasia is becoming an option for dying. most see youthan asia\as a fundamental right. a means of giving dignity to the dying. after opening the doors, the country is testing the boundaries and definition of unbearable suffering. and where it's right to end it. >> at least nine people have been killed by pak sedan after an explosion on a busy road. police believe the rickshaw was carrying some kind of explosive material. there's no immediate claim of responsibility. regional actions are taking place across russia on sunday. the government succeeded in bearing opposition candidates. the only region where opposition contenders run is kastroma. we joined one on the campaign trail. >> it's almost a clandestine
5:44 pm
affair. a handful of elderly people secluded in the courtyard of their apartments clatherred to meet the young -- gathered to meet the young opposition candidate. he has six of these meetings every day. a hulking body guard is close. >> translation: the level of physical intimidation on opposition parties changed the face of election campaigns in vladimir putin's authoritarian russia. >> he should realise the methods used against the campaign. police dispersed the campaigners. they are physically detaining. bandits and criminals attacked volunteers and tried to disrupt meetings with the electorate. proof of that at the campaign headquarters. three hours earlier, party organiser was struck down with a blow from behind at a morning rally. he's waiting for an ambulance the emergency services, the police, won't do anything. >> this regional election is taking place amid the worst economic crisis since vladimir
5:45 pm
putin came to power. the timing has the kremlin rattled. >> because of the very difficult economic situation and no improvement, 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 managed to disbar all opposition parties by claiming their signatures were forged. under these conditions, it's little wonder that the pro-putin factions like these canvassing bears in the unit russia party are optimistic about the outcome of the vote. the party telling us that these are fair and fair elections. the opposition would differ. >> there's an almost overwhelming sense of confidence among the pro-kremlin candidates in this election that borders on complacency. many haven't bothered to campaign, and some have not filled in the election manifestos.
5:46 pm
the arguments goes why bother. regional acting governors across the areas have been validated in endorsed by vladimir putin, and in an election like this, that is more than enough to secure victory on the day we knew this would not be a walk in the park. they let us cannot to get us in a trap. for us to lose the election and everyone to see it. we expected the challenge and are doing everything possible to get support and to win. five hours after he was assaulted, an ambulance turns up to take the party organiser to hospital. later he was diagnosed with a brain injury still to come on the al jazeera newshour. >> i'm andy gallagher in the port-au-prince, where the american red cross has been accused of mismanaging half a million raised after the earthquake. we'll meet with the
5:47 pm
5:48 pm
5:49 pm
port-au-prince. clinging to the steep ravines of port-au-prince, the neighbourhood is slowly rebuilding. like many communities, it was devastated by the earthquake in 2010. here the red cross and partners say they are doing best work. new roads and bridges are constructed by haitian roads. -- -- workers, through the region homes are being built and refurbished. antoine tells us she feels everyone is now rich and life is so much better that they are no longer living in tents. >> we had a particular attention to the quality. the american red cross which raised close to a billion has been accused of letting the people of haiti down, failing to deliver aid to those in need. a serious accusation is that they only built six new homes, something that red cross leaders say is nothing short of a lie. >> in that sense i feel sad about that, because those are
5:50 pm
lives that we will not 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 told us they faced serious challenges with land rights, but claimed every dollar raised has been invested wisely. they acknowledged that months after the earthquake were chaotic and leaked emails from others were understandable. they point to the work here, and investments in other parts of the country as examples of progress. i have been coming to haiti since the earthquake and watched different communities trying to rebuild. nothing on this scale or to these scandals. if this is the flagship project, it's making big strides. >> they did osme good things, they are doing better things. at the time it was a mess. >> the prime minister at the time of the earthquake and oversaw reconstruction efforts
5:51 pm
has been a critic of the american red cross and n.g.o.s. most of them ignored the authorities in the crucial days after the quake. >> we have the solution, we'll have the solution we will do that. you don't have to tell me what to do with the money i received. perhaps in your name it was considerable. i don't have to give an explanation. the american red cross is under scrutiny. they denied all accusaitons levelled accusations against it. n.g.o.s need to involve haitians more so they can gain the independence that they wanted for so long. a protest in chile's san diego ended in violence. demonstrators threw stones at police. a march was held to commemorate 42 years since the country's
5:52 pm
