>> conflicting reports about the number of mexican tourists killed. >> and in detroit negotiates are currently under way between auto workers and the big american car makers. an emergency meeting held on the controversy of migration. there are questions about what to do with asylum seekers, and that means the three-year-old syrian boy whose drowning off the coast of turkey shocked the world. she urged the e.u. to open its doors. >> it is heartbreaking.

and again it's too late to save allen and others, but it is not too late to save millions of them. they need help. >> germany had originally opened its doors now appears to be closing them. it's reintroduced border controls to stay in place for several weeks. it is struggling to cope and could be facing up to a million arrivals each year. those seeking acould i almost may not be able to choose where they want to asylum. the u.n. refugee agency has warned the confusions surrounding border policies could leave refugees in legal limbo. record numbers of people have been crossing from serbia into

hungary. and the authorities there are building a fence. we can now go live to budapest, the hungarian capital, and speak to the government spokesman at the prime minister's office. thank you for talking to us. if it's european union minister's meeting decides that coat a quotas will be held, what will hungary do? >> well, we're not there yet. there are top negotiations as we speak. we have announced back in june by principle we believe that the quota is bad, especially for the past two or three months it is offense that this is not the first tim what the european should be doing. they should be answering the

fundamental questions. if you don't stop the flood of illegal migrants to europe, you will not no how many asylum seekers will be distributed. >> hungarian has a separate version of accepting asylum seekers, why is that? >> i wouldn't formulate what you said in that way. we've been receiving asylum seekers, refugees from all over the world for the past five years as well as before. it is not that we are resisting that. what we're resisting is a completely approach to what we're facing. but what we're facing is not a refugee crisis. it is a mass migration cries, ancrisis. and we're unable to separate that-- >> sorry to interrupt, but a former prime minister accused

the prime minister of playing domestic politics in his hard line of refusing to settle refugees in hungary. he said it's all for domestic political purposes. >> i don't believe that the 180,000 migrants coming through the borders without any discipline can be called a political contribution. honestly, i would not even believe one word of that. they are trying to take a line in europe, a way that is the proper solution and properly raising questions. until we're not able to raise

the proper question, and that is why this is happening, and how we're going to stop it, it is impossible to formulate good answers. first we have to re-establish border control in europe, most of all in greece, which is the entry point to the european union. >> you establish border controls around the european union. what then happens to this wave of humanity that is fleeing desperate situations, particularly in syria wher, where they're facing barrel bombs and the use of chemical weapons in some places. what then happens to these people? >> then we can agree on the very fact that the situation might be miserable in turkey and lebanon. they're not facing immediate danger, and it is unacceptable that refugee refugee would take the illegal way of coming to europe through greece, macedonia and serbia and hungary.

there are no wars going on in that countries, and these people are risking their lives for a reason, we don't know. it is the perspective of humanity that we're calling out that this should be stopped. illegal migrations should be stopped. and instead. if it cannot control the borders. if we're not able to differentiate with the refugees and economic migrants we're not going to be able to give precise answers. that's what is happening in germany at the moment. europe is going to be able to cope with the unregulated influx of illegal mike grants i migrants. >> thank you for talking with us. now rob reynolds is our correspondent and is live for us in germany. it's very close the's very

close to the austrian border. what is the situation where you are? >> well, this is the border. this is a little bridge here over a small river, and as you can see behind me here, in front of the man with his bike and umbrella there is a group of refugees that has walked across on the austrian side there, they are now being questioned by german police. you can see the police there, one wearing a reflective vest, and you can see some of the apparently the refugees there wearing hoodie sweatshirts. so this is ground zero right now for the new operation by the german police, who are doing border checks. it just started 24 hours or so

ago. police are stopping cars, checking them for smuggled human beings or refugees. although this is something of a small side road. on the main motor way, the autobahn just a few kilometers here there is a an enormous traffic jam of several kilometers in a check of cross-border trade and travel. we spoke to a small group of five young men, who said that they were all friends, and they had all come from a syrian refugee camp in jordan. it had taken them 50 days to reach this point, and when they encountered the german police, the police asked them where they were from. they told them, the police said welcome to germany, no problem.

come through. >> sorry, but we're running out of time. i just wondered, now with the new enforcement in place, when these people are stopped it's unlikely they're going to have the right paperwork. what is happening to them then? are they being sent back into austria? >> no, they're not being sent back into austria. the people we spoke to, syrians, said that they were allowed by the police to continue into germany, and they were very happy to be here. they planned to move on to munich from here, and to continue to find their friends and relatives, who were already living in germany. >> okay, rob rentals, thank you very much. of the germany, austria border. australia will have a new prime minister after they ruled out tony abbott in favor of malcolm

turnbull. he had resigned and then asked mr. abbott to step aside. a secret ballot was held. this is what he had to say. >> this has been a very important, sobering experience today. i'm very humbled by it. i'm very humbled by the great honor and responsibility that has been 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. >> our correspondent andrew thomas has more now from sydney. >> the result was close, but it was enough for malcolm turnbull, the challenger to defeat prime minister tony abbott. 54-44 votes. the changing of the prime minister in australian politics

is becoming a habit. when tony abbott became prime minister, he said that his government would be functional and would not change leadership. clearly that has not proved to be the case. malcolm turnbull is from the left of right of center party. tony abbott was very much on the right of the party, skeptical about climate change, very li liberal economics and saying that terrorism was a major threat to australia. malcolm turnbull will tone that down, and we'll know more tuesday when he's formerly sworn. >> a number of mexican terror "o" tourists were killed in egypt. eight mexicans were killed, but the mexican foreign minister said that two nationals are
