>> hello, welcome to the al jazeera news hour from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes: >> european ministers hold emergency talks on the refugee crisis at germany will continue to impose border controls for weeks to come. >> i'm very humbled by the great on or and responsibility that is being given to me today. >> leadership shakeup, malcolm turn bull defeats tony abbot for the leadership and becomes the

new prime minister of australia. >> 30% of the wall of china has gone missing. >> i'll have all the sport, including djokovic wins his 10th grand slam title after a thrilling u.s. open final. >> first, an emergency meeting is underway in brussels to try to agree a common policy on the refugee crise. on the table, a controversial new plan that could impose binding closures on member states forcing them to take more refugees. eastern european countries oppose it. every day, thousands of refugees are arriving on european shores, most of those seeking refuge are

from syria. they are prepared to risk their lives to escape war, and the hardship of years in refugee camps. >> we are struggling here just to survive. struggling to find work. it's degrading, humiliating, our home is a tiny little room, the conditions terrible and it's still expensive. in syria, i used to go to school. here in lebanon, i can't go to school. you need money. all i'm asking is for help to relocate us. it doesn't matter where, just out of here. we aren't living, this isn't life. >> as the refugees move north through the european union, they are enduring terrible conditions and resistance. hungary and other eastern european countries oppose plans to force them to take in more people. germany, which had opened its doors initially appears now to be closing them. >> it's reintroduced border controls to last for several weeks, saying it's struggling to cope. it says refugees can't choose

where they want asylum, and that's a view set by many in germany. >> we already have taken the most refugees in europe. sure, if we have space, we should take in more, but i would suggest you distribute refugees fairly within the e.u. not all should come to germany. >> we need to change the causes of the country of origin so they have conditions to make life worth living. >> we have massive problems with migrants. people can't cope because of different cultures. sooner or later, there will be a class of cultures. >> let's go live to brussels. our correspondent jacki roland is there for this e.u. meeting. jacki, the views are quite disparate aren't they within europe? it's a major challenge for this 28 member block to come up with a common policy. >> it is certainly, a proposal has been put forward to them by

that the president of the european commission, and that proposal is that refugees should be divided between e.u. member states according to quotas that would be based on the size of the population, the relative pros severity of the country and also how many refugees it's already taken. those proposals have been rejected outright by countries in eastern europe. germany had for a while essentially opened its doors to all comers, but we have to bear in mind the sheer numbers of people who have been taking advantage of that, 63,000 asylum seekers have arrived in germany so far this month, that's more than arrived during the whole of 2014, so you can see that there are logistical reasons why germany has closed its border with austria. it goes beyond the logistics, the whole idea of freedom of movement is at the heart of the european project. germany is a country that sits

at the crossroads of europe. hate border witness nine other countries. if it starts closing borders that effectively shank an agreement, the freedom of movement is falling apart. the germans are sending a message to the eastern europeans, if you want to continue enjoying the benefits of e.u. membership, this ability to move freely throughout europe, you're going to have to assume some of the responsibilities of e.u. membership. i think germany is playing hard ball to an extent here, using the questions of freedom of movement to pressure those concreteern europeans.

>> one can't say we take only those christian and leave out the muslims. well, there may be a security risk, but that cannot be done by selective all the christian that is come to the continent. >> a former prime minister has told al jazeera that the current leader hard line on refugees is purely for political gain. we have a report from the

hungarian capital, budapest. >> referring to this human crise, hungary's prime minister has repeatedly said it's germany's problem, but ask any of the volunteers who try to help the refugees through this chaos what they think and they can't help getting political. >> for many hungarians, it's natural that we help them and we feel really, really angry that our government is giving them this treatment. >> this is a husband and wife team helping take donations and passing them on to those in need. >> we said that they don't want muslim here. i did not understand that, because they are muslim living here with peace. >> we are not sure what's going to happen if they close the borders again, there will be thousands of people sleeping here again. >> political protests are gaining momentum, this demonstration is supporting him. the speaker is attacking a

liberal magazine for portraying him as adolf hitler on its front page. >> it's not the prime minister, but the editors they are to say this about the prime minister. >> there's nothing wrong with the migrants or their region. it's the large numbers, that's all. >> not far away, protestors from the opposition marched on parliament. the prime minister's critics say his main motivation is keeping a grip on parliament. before the refugee crisis, his popularity was waning. his advisors say the further firmer he gets on the issue, the more popular he becomes. >> a socialist believes the prime minister is taking them down a bad road. >> people are worried about the refugees and he is fighting for

the right. >> it is four years from election, but he see as threat from the far right. analysts believe he is playing a smart card. >> he is not just somebody interested in popularity tomorrow or after tomorrow. he thinks much more that there is a challenge for europe and the current european elite is not able to answer this challenge. >> supporters believe in his fire brand approach along with his vision of a christian europe, but he's playing for big political stakes and making enemies in high places. as he does so, the misery of so many here continues with no relief. andrew simmons, al jazeera, budapest. >> many are seeking refuge from war-torn syria, we look at how europe's refugee crisis compares with the overall number of

syrians in need. >> there's a very different picture now after four years of a brutal civil war. 12 million people have been forced from their homes. that's more than half the population. close to 8 million of them have south refuge within syria and of those internally displaced, 3.5 million are children. the rest, 4 million have fled to neighboring countries. turkey has taken in the most, close to 2 million. more than a million are in lebanon while jordan, iraq and egypt all have refugees numbering in the hundreds have thousands. compare that to the number of syrian refugees in europe or trying to get there and it's significantly smaller. the u.n. refugee agency says almost 350,000 syrians have applied for asylum in europe over the last four years. even accounting for the thousands more trying to make it to europe every day, as a percentage, europe is taking just over 3% of the 12 million

syrians in urgent need of help. >> so, as you've heard, many of the refugees coming into europe come originally from syria and those refugees, for many of them, the first point of their journey into europe is turkey. our correspondent stephanie decker joins us now. that's right on the border with syria in the south of turkey, stephanie and behind you, is a camp for syrian refugees, describe it for us, if you will. >> that's right. it's one of about 25 camps here in turkey, around 275,000 refugees are housed in those camps, but most people actually live outside these camps, meaning they are left to fend pretty much on their own. they don't get official work papers here, the government have made it very clear that they have their own unemployment issues, therefore will not be giving legal papers to the syrians. since we've been here today, you can't see it now behind me,

because we have cars parked, people are trying to get protesting to book into syria, telling us they wanting to home, because it's been so difficult for them here. they are saying the treatment they get here has been very difficult. there's no integration, it's hard to work, their children aren't going to school. it is indicative of how difficult it also is for the turkish authorities and people to take in so many people. almost 2 million. we are seeing a reverse flow. people are saying you see so many people arrive in the european union, they are talking about opening doors, are you tempted? to be honest, most people will tell in you, because also here, they are close to home. there is an emotional attachment and hope one of the last things it seems they are not willing to let go of that they will one day be able to go home. they don't want to move all the way to europe. a lot of them say we are going to go back home, we'd rather take the risk to die there than

live a hive of humiliation here or try another whole journey to europe. the neighboring countries are at bursting points, so this flow of people will continue to happen unless the war in syria is stopped. >> live from southern turkey at a syrian refugee sample, thank you. >> britain oh pointed a minister to oversee the resettlement of 20,000 syrian refugees there over the next five years. prime minister david cameron's been visiting a refugee camp in lebanon, hosting syrians, and lebanon has been struggling to cope with the scale of the crisis. mr. cameron promised that the u.k. will speed its resettlement process. >> this morning i was in the valley seeing that hospital at and meeting with some of the syrian refugees that we will resettle in the united kings dom. i recognize that the humanitarian crisis is putting

huge pressure on your country, public services, schools and housing. the united kingdom has provided 300 million pounds to lebanon since the crisis began, including food, medicine and shelter support. we will assure 29 million is spent right here helping further to shoulder the burden. >> of course, money is a big part of the whole story, as well, from those paying to make those very dangerous trips to europe to those who are giving money to the various humanitarian organizations. al jazeera's counting the cost program looks at the numbers. >> europe's refugee crise is undoubtedly a humanitarian one, but there is a financial cost to go with it and numbers of extraordinary at both ends of the spectrum. consider this, there are up wards of 380,000 refugees who have arrived on europe's shores. that is according to the unhci.

on average, the people smugglers are charging them $300 a person to help them reach europe. that number does vary. if you multiply that, we are talking about a staggering $1.1 billion made by the people smugglers in an unofficial market which sadly has huge demand. just as a comparison, just to keep in mind, how much money has the united nations asked for to assess syrians? $1.5 billion, and they have a shortfall of $341 million for the rest of the year. the discrepancy between money made by smugglers and money needed for refugees is incredible and unless more than just the symptoms are addressed, the problem just won't go away. >> we are focusing on not to the migrants or their situation, but on the organized crime behind those people, and targets those who are responsible for putting lives in danger or also abusing

people that are in a very dangerous situation. it's true the border problem will not be solved by law enforcement, but at least i think our task is to make sure that organized crime doesn't make use of this and earns a lot of money by transporting people in terrible circumstances. >> we've got a lot more to come on this al jazeera news hour, including the afghan taliban say they've freed more than 400 inmates after storming a prison. >> the bribery and money laundering scandals surrounding the world of football. prosecutors reveal more details about the investigation. >> a missed opportunity that put this german team turn things around?

>> mr. turn bull resigned from his cabinet position and asked mr. abbott to step aside. here's what the new prime minister designate had to say just a short while ago. >> this has been a very important sobering experience to that. i'm very humbled by it, by the great honor and responsibility that is being given to me today. we need to have in this country and we will have now an economic vision, a leadership that explains the great challenges and opportunities that we face. >> well, andrew tomas is our correspondent in sydney.

>> the result was close, but was enough for turnbull to defeat tony abbott 54 votes to 44 votes. the changing of the prime minister is becoming a habit. the previous labor government did it, to such an extent when tony abbott said his prime minister said his government would be functional and not change leaders in such a chaotic way. clearly that has not proved to be the case. turnbull is from the left of this right of center party, more of a centrist, tony abbott on the right of the party, skeptical about climate change, very much saying terrorism was the major threat to australia. malcolm turnbull will tone that down. he is a softer character, on paper more popular with the public. whether he prove that is as prime minister, of course, we should know from tuesday, when he is formally sworn in.

>> australia's become rather familiar with political leadership changes like this. in 2010, then prime minister kevin rudd was challenged in a labour party vote. two years later, he challenged again for the leadership, but lost out to julia gillard. he got enough support to unseat her. two months later, he lost decisively to tony abbot in the parliamentary elections. things turned around for him when a party no confidence vote was held in february. he managed to cling on, but on monday, his time was up. >> israeli police detained several palestinians at compound in the occupied east jerusalem. tensions are high after israeli forces stormed the compound for the third time in 24 hours.

police said palestinians threw rocks at officers, who then entered the area. on sunday, israeli police threw sun grenades into a mosque at the holy site. >> egyptian security forces say the number of mexicans accidentally killed in a security operation has risen to eight. only two nationals are dead. the shooting happened in the western desert, a total of 12 people were killed. the families of those injured in the incident have been visiting them in hospital. egypt said security forces firing from a helicopter mistook the convoy for what they described as terrorist elements. we have more from mexico. >> government officials will be speaking about this. the mexican president said that he was demanding a thorough investigation from egyptian authorities over what's happened

here, and he also said that he's adding personnel to tend to the people injured in this. of course he has to come out and say those two things. the reality that is there isn't much of a diplomatic relationship we know egypt and mexico. what there is is a positive trading and cultural base, so the repercussions of this, what seems to be a tragic sort of accident than anything, at this stage appear to be something that's going to magnify in the coming weeks. >> the afghan taliban said it's freed more than 430 prisoners. it said it used gunman and bombers to store the prison in the eastern province. four police officers were killed, several others wounded. >> our correspondent in the afghan capital, kabul. >> a coordinated taliban attack on that prison on the outskirts of the city started when the taliban detonated a car bomb and then at least 10 taliban

attackers assaulted the prison, freeing prisoners. security was already bad before this incident. those freed taliban, dozens will not improve the situation at all and highlights how fragile security is across afghanistan that the taliban can carry out such a coordinated attack on a prison. there's been fighting that continues in the north, in the east, it's been a brutal year for afghan security forces. nato puts the number of afghan police and army dead and wounded at 15,000 so far this year. that's an average of 22 afghan soldiers killed a day across afghanistan. numbers that analysts here say are just unsustainable and one of the big challenges for the new government president ashraf

ghani. >> three people arrested in malaysia in conclusion with the bomb of of a shrine in bangkok last month. they are assisting with the investigation. they were picked up after a tip off from the thai authorities. twenty were killed by the bombing in august. >> we are in kuala lampur. >> the malaysian inspector general of police confirmed that they have three suspects in custody, two men and one woman believed to be involved in last months bombing in bangkok. the three suspects include a pakistani national. >> we are not sure whether the suspect, the main suspect is in this country, we are not so sure yet. we don't know. we don't have real evidence to show that he is in this country, so we are investigating it. >> the arrests were made several days ago, and police say they

acted on a tipoff from thai authorities. the bottom blast in bangkok took place at the very popular shrine in downtown bangkok. locals and tourists alike were killed. it is the single worst bomb attack in thailand. thai police have several suspects in their custody but have yet to establish a motive and no one has claimed that responsibility for attack. >> state of emergency's been declared in indonesia due to a thick haze from forest fires. firefighters have been battling to put the blaze out. it is affecting air quality in singapore. large tracts of land have been cleared using illegal slash and burn method to make way for palm oil and paper plantations. >> everton is here now with the weather. what the indonesians need is

rain, isn't it? we have got the possibility of one or two showers into northern as i am metra, not going to help the situation. that is tuesday's picture, maybe creeping a little further southeast as we go on through wednesday. they will be few and far between and it will stay largely dry. here it will stay absolutely bone dry. all of the energy is north of the equator, where things are looking quite active at the moment. we have got a tropical storm making its way towards vietnam. it's a weak one. winds of around 65 kilometers per hour with gusts around 85 kilometers per hour.

it will be flooding here if only we have this over indonesia, 215 millimeters of rain in over 24 hours and those heavy showers are now starting to make their way further west wards, much of vietnam, central vietnam, cambodia seeing very heavy rain. it will drift further westward as we go through thursday with brighter skies coming behind. >> lots more to come here on the al jazeera news hour, including the war in syria has killed thousands, hundreds of thousands of people and forced millions to flee the country. we look at why the international community has failed to stop the fighting. >> too close to call, greece's former prime minister and his conservative rival neck and neck in snap elections. >> find out if high flyers can make a comeback in sport. t.

>> you're with al jazeera, a reminder then of the top stories. european union ministers are in emergency session in brussels to talk about the refugee crise. germany says it will impose border controls for at least several weeks as it can't cope with the record number of asylum seekers. >> austria will also temporarily reinstate border controls with hungary. these are the latest pictures where refugees are waiting to board buses, taking them to vienna.

>> australia is to have a new prime minister after the ruling party voted out tony abbott in favor of his rifle, malcolm turnbull. he resigned from the cabinet and asked abbott to step aside. >> to our make that story, the refugee crisis affecting much of europe. the largest group of people arriving quite clearly from syria. there have been no diplomatic breakthrough there since the conflict began. some believe this could move forward a diplomatic solution. >> even the man who heads the u.n. system, secretary general ban ki-moon admits the organization has failed to tackle the situation in syria, one of the main reasons for a refugee crisis now spreading well beyond the immediate region.

>> the country is a colossal tragedy for syria and a shameful symbol of international indecisions. historic judgment will be harsh. >> after more than four and a half years of conflict, the figures are shocking, as many as 250,000 people dead, 4 million refugees in the region and now thousands more flooding into europe. the u.n. continues to spend billions in its efforts to help syrians, but the fighting will not stop until there's a political solution. that brings us here to the u.n. security council. it has passed resolutions on syria. for example, on removing chemical weapons, and trying to ease the dire humanitarian situation, but if there's to be a political solution, there needs to be agreement on that here, too. >> for four and a half years, the central disagreement has been on the role of president assad and his inner circle. russia backed by china refuse to

support efforts to force him out of power. others maintain he has no place in a new syria. one former british diplomat working as an advisor to the syrian national council, the so-called moderate opposition say it's possible the refugee crisis could break the deadlock. >> you are dealing with these kind of massive policy problems, it's not simple. frequently you can get into a mindset where it's all too complicated and too difficult. where things change is in a situation like this, where suddenly public opinion shifts, suddenly the politics of all of this change ever so slightly and then there's an opening. it's at that point effective diplomats will step in and say here's an opportunity. >> a fresh round of diplomatic activity is underway. u.n. special envoy is again speaking to all sides about a possible political transition. finding a new creative solution to such a divisive issue is going to be extremely difficult, if not impossible. james bays, al jazeera at the united nations.

>> let's talk to director of international relations at the university in the u.k., thanks for joining us here. quite clearly, any kind of political drive to finding a solution to ending the fighting in syria is some distance away. >> yeah, i think so. there are a lot of different moving parts that play, and it's a case of firstly identifying those moving parts, whose agendas are at stake, whose are at play and what level they're at, are they a region alex or nationally, are they stuck in the security council where there seems to be this deadlock as the last report was highlighting or is it on the ground where the regional dynamics are making this seem in tractable. >> do you agree with the diplomatic in james' report that this refugee crisis, so vast is it for the european pours in particular that it could have an

effect of dislodging the long material of actually helping to start some sort of momentum toward some kind of solution? >> potentially, and clearly we've seen that this huge change in public opinion in the west in the past few weeks, but whether that will impact the situation, whether it's actually going to be heard in china, russia, iran, all of these are key assad allies and the strategic calculations of maintaining a tie with assad will outweigh any of this public opinion even if it does get to that point. >> let's move to the situation in europe now, and the subject which of course he is engaging ministers in brussels as we speak. how big a challenge is this for the european union itself to find a common policy of dealing with it?

>> well, i think it's a huge challenge. i think the crisis gets to the heart of the question about europe in itself. it really teases out a lot of the tensions that have been operating within the european union and across europe over the past few years, the financial questions, questions about russia and ukraine, going back to even divisions in europe over the war in iraq. there are a lot of tensions that are really starting to come out and this is a, i think it's a real instance where the east and the west parts of europe are clashing over what they see the role of the european union is and what i had should be in the future. >> thank you very much indeed for coming on and talking to us here at al jazeera. thank you. >> thank you. >> a week before greece's general election, the former prime minister alexis tsipras is neck and neck with his conservative rival. the outcome could depend on

undecided voters in a televised debate. >> looking sadder and wiser, tsipras is still presenting himself as the alternative to the socialist and conservatives he defeated once before. >> we will not allow the old which the people threw out the door in january to come in back now through the window. on september 20, we will do away with it once and for all. >> this was of course january's promise to end austerity, restructure the debt and spend billions on the poor. none of it came to pass. instead, cities are surrendered to an austerity package costing 2% of the economy a year, it's main accusation against the conservatives now is it will do a better implementing it. voters are humbled, exhausted and deeply disappointed. >> there was never an alternative. the europe of solidarity and

partnership doesn't really want solidarity. >> there was an alternative to austerity, but they didn't negotiate right. nobody did. there is still an alternative. >> that alternative, popular unit broke from series does a last month, saying greece's only option is to default and demand a debt write off, all this settled force greece to leave the euro zone. some economists say that's what series does a would have done and was any eave to trust in consensus. >> he tried, he came up against the reality of the european union and came up against a big wall. in the end, he was subjected to blackmail, because that's the nature of the monetary union,

power relations there, he was subject to blackmail and it surrendered completely. >> many greeks agree, but only a trickle of voter supporters ending up on popular unity's doorstep. many styles with the man whose feelings about his own achievements are as mixed at theirs. >> series does a hails his bailout as the only deal that would keep greece in the euro zone but says he was forced into it. some feel he made a sincere effort to negotiate a better deal. others feel he is incompetent. >> tsipras my eke out out victory and save his legacy, but no one is sure who or what will save greece. >> switzerland's attorney general says over 100 banker counts have been brought to the attention of investigators in the fifa corruption scandal.

michael linebackerrer is giving an update about the case with his counterpart in zurich. in may, several football executives were arrested as part of a u.s. investigation. they included fifa vice president jeffery webb. in total, there are 14 defendants charged with running tearing, wire fraud, and money laundering. >> as this is an ongoing process, it is therefore too early to name a specific figure of frozen assets. i prefer also not to share this information at this time for tactical reasons. additional people have been questioned, and obtained information relevant to our investigation. >> it all started may 27 in zurich. swiss executives arrived at a hotel hosting fifa attendees. several officials were arrested

at the request of the u.s. authorities and further seven were arrested in north and south america. later that day, swiss federal prosecutors announced they were opening separate criminal proceedings related to the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 world cups. despite this, seth blatter was reelected at fifa president just two days later, only then to announce his resignation the following week. july 16, the former fifa vice president jeffery webb became the first official extradite to the u.s. from zurich. he's currently under house arrest in atlanta, awaiting trial. a new fifa president replacing blatter will be elected on february 26. we can talk now to simon hill, who is in sydney, australia, a football commentator at fox sports australia. thank you for joining us. from may 27 to now, how far have they actually got? >> well, it's only loretta lynch

and her team and the swiss authorities actually know. we know of course that those figures that you mentioned about the numbers that have been placed under arrest or trying to extradite them to new york, including of course jack warner, the former president of the caribbean football union and a former fifa vice president, somebody who's very, very close to seth blatter, or at least he was until he was thrown out of the governing body some years ago, the interesting thing here is warner has long said ever since he was indict by the americans and they are trying to extradite him to new york to stand trial on one of these charges, warner said all along that he had plenty of information to share, and what has emerged over the last 24 hours is a television report from a swiss broadcaster called s.r.f. television, reporting that fifa signed over media

rights to warner's caribbean football union. this is for the broadcast of the 2010 and 2014 world cups. this happened back in 2005, for the paltry sum of just $600,000. that of course is way below what it would expect to fetch on the open market. warner, of course was the head of the caribbean football union at the time. he has been alleged to have transferred the rights over to his own company, who had then resold the television rights in a deal worth between $15 million and $20 million. now, warner is alleged to have gained around $11 million to his own personal accounts from the sale of those t.v. rights and intriguingly, s.r.f. post'd excerpts of this contract on its website which shows that both blatter and warner signed those documents. now, if that's the case, that's a huge story. >> all right, yes. ok, simon, there's so many allegation of such murky

dealings within fifa. i'm wondering whether the change of one man as it will be when it comes to the elections in february next year for a new president, whether that is going to change anything. is this note systemic, this problem at fifa? >> absolutely. you've hit the nail on the head. that it exactly the word. it is systemic corruption and mismanagement that's been going on for so long. the way that the next fifa presidential campaign is being run by all the candidates, or most of the capped dates at least is exactly the same way as it's been done for the last 20 or 30 years, currying favor and making promises to the regional federations. what is needed is a complete break with this system. it needs an independent governance committee in the interim with people from outside fifa, perhaps even outside football, if necessary to clean up the governing body and restore the faith of the football public right around the

world, because at the moment, all we've got is a different president, but the same old system. >> simon hill, really good to talk to you, thank you very much. >> we've still got a lot to come, including the debate on assisted dying. how ill do you have his to be to earn the right to die? >> we report from china on what's being done to save the great wall. >> in sport, we'll tell you where joke v.i.x. ranks amongst the all time greats following his u.s. open trial.

>> after the defeat have the assisted dying bill, many look toward the netherlands where the practice has been legal for years. we have a report from amsterdam. >> the debate's no longer about if assisted dying should be allowed, it's whether more should be able to end their lives this way in amsterdam. it's been legal since 2002, accounts are one in every 25 deaths and the numbers of growing. this doctor has helped dozens of people end their lives. euthanasia can be requested on the dutch national health service, yet for many doctors, it's a daunting task. >> what do you say to them. >> usually i say for me, it's been a privilege to know you. i find you a very courageous

man, and i'm glad that i can do this for you. >> euthanasia is only allowed under certain conditions, a people suffering unbearable pain, illness in incurable and they make the decision to die in full consciousness. every year here, the boundaries surrounding euthanasia widen further. what began as a means of helping people terminally ill now extends to other people, also suffering from unbearable pain, people suffering from mental ill insists, like depression and dementia, opening up a completely new debate. >> alice lost her husband two months ago. he was one of holland said best loved poets and musicians. he suffered with severe depression. he's the first high profile dutch person with a mental illness to be allowed euthanasia. >> he was really ready to go, and he was full with love and he

didn't have any fear anymore. >> since it was legalized, 40,000 dutch people have been granted euthanasia. holland's catholic churches have long been opposed to it, believe it exposes vulnerable people to abuse. objections are now being voiced by those who helped shape the law. >> the law was designed to be for extreme emergencies. what we see now after 10 or 15 years' experience in the netherlands is euthanasia is becoming a default option for dying. >> most dutch people see it as a fundamental right, a means of giving dignity to the dying, but after opening the doors to euthanasia, the country is testing the boundaries and definition of unbearable suffering and when it's right to end it.

>> to sport now. >> djokovic i guess the u.s. open champion, beat be roger federer to claim his 10t 10th grand slam title. richard parr reports. >> after a three hour rain delay, federer and djokovic took to the courts for the u.s. open final. it's djokovic's fourth grand slam final of the season. the serve early in the match, fortunately, he only suffered some scrapes and bruises. he still managed to win the opening set 6-4 with the first time federer had dropped the set in the tournament. he had beaten federer at the last grand slam final wimbledon in four sets. while at the age of 34, federer credited part of his longevity
