this is al jazeera. hello, i'm lauren taylor. coming up, european union prefers agree to relocate 120,000 refugees around the eu. bashed wire around hungary so the main crossing point is closed for thousands of refugees. eight mexican tourists are accidentally killed in security operations. australia has to be a nation

that is agile. >> and the world goes pop. plus all the day's sporting including the bribery and money laundering scandal surrounding the world of futbol and top fifa officials. >> european union manslaughters have -- ministers have agreed to move 120,000 refugees. this comes as barbed wire is set up at the border of hungary. they're also set to set tougher measures which could see

refugees deported. germany, the destination of choice for many reintroduced the checks on sunday. germany's vice chancellor said the move is designed to produce a more orderly flow of people. now brussels, they're redistributing 40,000 people from italy and greece. >> a large majority of member states have committed to this principle of the additional relocation of a further 120,000 people who deserve international protection. as part of these massive flows. the commission proposal will surface a basis for an agreement. the price will then give this -- the presidency will then give this work top priority and we are aiming at adoption on october 8th. we are in brussels.

aiming to get this in. is this a done deal or likely to fall apart? >>reporter: well, they fail to get an agreement it's as clear as that. what we've heard from them, luxembourg, it's an attempt to put a brave face on it. we've heard positive spins on it describing it as a political commitment. we've heard an agreement in principle. they failed to get an agreement. okay, there may be a mon a majoy of countries in favor but other countries such as poland, slovakia and hungary who whether not accept the imposed quotas. so essentially we've had this meeting. no agreement has been reached. and the issue has been kicked into the long grass now until

8th of october. and in the meantime we're seeing these log jams and bottle necks of people stuck between borders. you can argue that the situation is too urgent to wait another three weeks for european politicians to takely make a decision. >> they've actually closed some of the borders which goes against the whole principle of freedom of movement. how are they explaining that particular issue away? >> well, they have not actually closed the borders. what they've done is reintroduced identity card passport and controls at the borders. essentially for the past 20 years, 26 countries that belong to this agreement have not had any checks or controls when you cross the border so it's like being in just one very, very big country. it all started with germany on as you understand reintroducing border checks, border controls.

now, the way that they've justified that in fact brussels has said it's okay because in situationses of crisis or emergency countries are allowed to increase those checks. in the month of september alone in two weeks they've received 63,000 refugees. that is enormous. they can argue and brussels would agree that is a justifiable condition for temporarily reintroducing those border checks. >> thank you very much indeed. >> let's go now to hungary. andrew is there for us. tell us what's going on there with you. >>reporter: yes, lauren, this is the official border post here.

earlier about something like now five, six hours ago, the unofficial point that was the rail line where we've seen tens of thousands of refugees crossing over several weeks. that was closed and in fact first of all by police officers and secondly by a rather odd looking rail carriage with raver wire all over it blocking the way. what's happened since then is that small groups of refugees have been coming through this area here quickly moved onto buses and the buses have been leaving. we counted five in the space of an hour and a half. others going all in the direction of the rail station here. and they've been bussed directly to the rail station and the trains have been going to the austrian border. there's been a very, very fast turn around here of refugees but

that could change because in an hour we're expecting the new laws to be enforced. with me right now is from the unhcl, the u.n. refugee agency is the central europe spokes person. tell me what have you been told about these new laws. >> there have been announce presidents that we have been seeing in the media and our ask on hungary is that the new legislation that they're bringing in should be implemented according to international and european laws. according to those laws, seeking asylum is not an offense. it's not a crime. so these desperate refugees and migrants who have come here seeking international protection, they need to have access to territory. >> so just to clarify for our viewers here. we're hearing some refugees will

be turned around because serbia will be classed as a safe third country and sent back in a short space of time. >> so far what we've seen is that there were around 600 people that came here and that have been processed. i just heard from my colleagues on the serbian side that there are 700 more and they're going through the process. our hope is that according to international and european law, people will have access to asylum. hungary is in the european union. we are standing in europe today and we hope that europe's high standards on human rights and humanitarian and international law will be applied here. >> victor insists he's only implementing eu law and blames germany for all of this saying various members of the european league have got tea all wrong by attracting refugees. what do you say to that? >> this is indeed a refugee

crisis. the people on the move desperate. women and children, the majority of them are from syria. you want to be putting your life and the life of your family at risk if you're not fleeing from a war. and this is what is happening over here.

that's 22 gmt. about exactly what is going to take place here. not only here but right across the 175 kilometer long border which has got razor wire and 400 meter pathss posts ahead of it. that's not implemented fully until october. back to you, lauren, in the studio. for many the journey into the european union has just

begun. >>reporter: while grateful for the food, he knows he's got barely enough time to eat. >> we're afraid they're going to close the border and not let us in. with all the death and destruction we've all seen, families have come so far and we ask hungary to please let us through. >> along serbia's border with hungry, the refugees are running against the clock. even the wounded must find the stallna to continue. he shows me stars he sustained from injuries in iraq. he decided to get his family after that out of basra through any means necessary. >> we're trying any way we know how. we came all this way to get to europe and we'll try any way possible to keep going. to get all the way here from south iraq and then to be stopped, no, we have to keep going.

>> despite the hardships, his wife and children are still hopeful they'll be able to make it over the next border. >> others though aren't as optimistic. crossing from serbia into hungary, the refugees must cross these tracks. most are too afraid to appear on camera. they're worried they can't get into hungary and if they do they won't be able to get out of hungary in the coming days. nonetheless, everybody very aware that the border from serbia into serbia will be closed within a matter of hours. when we get to the other side of the border, it is sealed. construction of the fence is monitored by the police. soldiers guard gaps that just hours earlier refugees walked through. while families barred

from entry decide to make a path forward another possible crossing point, a train carriage is transported here to stop the influx once and for all. just one more road block for these refugees on a road that seems to get longer every day. al jazeera on the serbian border. a lot of the focus has been on the crisis in europe but clearly the largest number are in the area surrounding in the neighboring countries surrounding syria. give us an idea of what it's like for children in those areas. >> i think we have to start with the source of the problem which is of course syria which today internally displaced children. children have been killed and maimed. schools are closed.

water facilities are often cut off deliberately by fighting forces. 2 million kids are out of school in syria and the situation is really one of the worst in the world in humanitarian terms. the majority of them made it across the borders are in turkey, lebanon, and jordon. the total is around 4 million. >> in the past few weeks, unicef have complained of a problem of funding in helping children in those camps. tell us what that means. are you getting an answer to your call for more money? >> they're only around 40% funded this year so there's a gap of about $500,000. it means it's 3 million children out of school across syria and surrounding countries. water programs may not be able

to be continued in some of the major refugee camps such as in jordan. and it means malnourished children may not be treated. it's got extreme ramifications. families are having to make very tough decisions. in jordon, about 50% of families have children as their primary breadwinners. for girls, it's particularly different because they're making the very tough addition to marry them off early for example as a livelyhood strategy. >> what about efforts for those who end up in europe? >> well, i think we have to remind everyone the primary responsibility for looking after the refugees that make it to europe rests with the government's concern. but unicef along with its

partners are also willing and there to support if required and from our point of view at unicef, the critical thing are to keep families unified. more than 10,000 children are reached the european shores without their parents and their families and it's to do everything in terms of a fast and efficient and effective process for asylum seeking that really keeps the best interest of the child at the part of those processes. >> okay. thank you very much indeed for joining us there live from new york. >> thank you. >> still to come, trying to steady troubled waters. sri lanka turns to india for new relations. and in sport, a second u.s. open trophy after beating roger federer in the finals.

it appears russia is continuing to support the president of syria, bashar al assad. but syria's ambassador to moscow has denied reports of russian troops in syria. >>reporter: pentagon officials say they don't know why the russian military is expanding an air base near latakia or why it's sending in the number of troops on the ground around 200. although pentagon officials won't confirm that. however, the pentagon is very concerned for that matter about the possibility of russian forces supporting the syrian

military in its civil war against the moderate opposition and then possibly coming into conflict with the u.s.-led coalition that has been going after isil in the northern part of syria. now, while russia and the u.s. agree that isil is a threat to both of their countries and to their ally's security needs, russia has not been invited to take part in the fight against isil mainly because the u.s. believes that russia would do so only in an attempt to prop up al assad which is u.s. opposes. the u.s. daunt to go into how it knows the russians are building a forward operating air base but says it's watching these developments with concern. >> the french president has outlined the need for his country to target the islamic state of iraq and the levant in

syria. his comments come a week after he announceded that the country has been performing surveillance flights over the war torn country. >> part of the coalition in iraq against isil, we started flights in syria to enable us to consider air strikes if necessary and they will be necessary in syria. opposition forces in syria have stepped up their campaign to take control of the city allepo. aleppo. >>reporter: this part of aleppo has been under rebel control for four years but it's far from safe. governments shell the area constantly. barrel bombs have destroyed entire neighborhoods. life on the ground is tough. oma lost her house during an air

strike and now lives in a community building. each day she walks four miles to a charity that delivers food, aid, and water to the needy. there are shortages everywhere. but alass, a school principle and music tutor wants his children not to lose hope. here, he's making sure that the school girls are ready for the end of year party. >> many people have left because of life. barrel bombs destroy everything. targets are on purpose. i was in a building that collapsed after it was hit by a missile but i'm lucky i'm still alive. this was a neighborhood bustling with activity. many have left. some crossed to turkey. others went to remote villages. there were also those forced to

leave when isil captured some rebel-held areas. isil and assad are the same thing. they have destroyed the country. the atrocities have forced others to go but i will not leave. i was born here. >>reporter: aleppo is decided. the rebels have made a few gains but each time they advance, isil steps in taking more territory. for those that remain, this is a conflict without end. an ongoing cycle of death and destruction. it's the second day of violence at jerusalem's mosque compound. sunday witnesses say police entered the mosque and caused damage. they say they closed doors to lock in rioters. police said that five were arrested in the compound and

visits went ahead as planned. clashes came just hours before the jewish new year. >> egyptian officials say eight mexican tour itselves were accidentally killed in a security operation in egypt. helicopter gun ships mistook them for what they called terrorist elements. here's the latest on mexico's response. >>reporter: mexico's foreign minister said her country was still in shock following the incident that took place on sunday. a dmro mattic note expressing indignation and bafflement was sent to the egyptians. >> this is a deproperable event and has demanded a thorough investigation. >>reporter: mexican officials spoke to some of the survivors. >> it's mexicans that made it to the hospital told us they had been attacked by air with bombs

fired from planes and helicopters. >>reporter: the injured were taken to cairo for treatment. the acting prime minister of egypt arrived at the hospital to visit them. egypt has expressed regret at the incident but has said the tourists were in restrictions areas without permission. >> we are standing with the mexican people in their tragedy. the circumstances surrounding the incident is a painful incident and i give my deepist condolences. a number of egyptians are also said to have been killed or injured. the mexican president said he's demanded a thorough investigation. egyptian troops at the time were

said to have been chasing armed fighters in the desert. the australian prime minister tony abbott has been deposed and replaced by his popular communications player malcomb turnbull. this will be the fifth prime minister in australia in 20 years. >>reporter: the votes went in favor of the challenger. >> in the leadership it was contested and malcomb was successful. >>reporter: he had been elected by his peers to lead his party and country. >> the australia australia of the future has to be a nation

that is agile and innovative. we have to recognize that the disruption that we see driven by technology, the volatility and change is our friend. it's our friend if we have agile and smart enough to take advantage of it. there's never been a more exciting time to be an australian. tony abbott was prime minister for two years. his chief achievement was stopping boats of refugees in reaching australia and scrapping an environmental tax on carbon emissions but he was never personally popular and as the economy slowed, his chances of leading his party to a second election victory next year began to look slim. malcomb turnbull was a long-term

rival. on monday, he seized his moment. tony abbott was elected in 2013 promising to end the dysfunction he claimed characterized the former labor government. his government he promised will be one of stability, one of no surprises. it was not to be. malcomb turnbull will be sworn in formally on thursday. coming up, neck and neck, a former prime minister faces his conservative rival in a battle for his country's leadership. the great wall of china and why 30% of the historic monument has gone missing. i'll also be telling you where it's gone. and why manchester city are not looking for anything beyond its champion's league clash. 's league clash.

>> i've been asked to keep my voice down cause we are so close to the isil position >> who is in charge, and are they going to be held to accout? >> but know we're following the research team into the fire >> they're learning how to practice democracy... >> ...just seen tear gas

being thrown... >> ...glad sombody care about us man... >> several human workers were kidnapped... >> this is what's left of the hospital >> is a crime that's under reported... >> what do you think... >> we're making history right now... >> al jazeera america

the pentagon says russia has positioned tanks in a syrian airfield. and security forces in egypt have -- halted just meters from their goal. german police stop a group of refugees from syria over a bridge that forms the border

between awes tree i can't and germany. now they wait in the falling rain. this man's leg was wounded by a falling bomb in damascus. i came through turkey, greece, vienna to get treatment in germany. none were in sight. a camp for refugees which was full over the weekend now sits empty. the abrupt about face in german policy after earlier throwing

its doors open wide left some confused and irritated. the government no longer has things under control at all. at first they thought they should just come and then suddenly say, oh, we're with overwhelmed. no, i don't think the government has done anything right and what they're doing now is too little too late. >> at the border a separate group of men stood safely on the german side. germany has promised to admit all syrian refugees who tough its soil. after a long wait in the rain, the syrians were led into

germany. now, they too are on secure ground. the border check here which germany says are only temporary are another sign that the european union's policy of open borders between member states may be slipping away. they are also a sign of europe graphing with a refugee crisis that just keeps getting bigger. three people have been arrested in malaysia. the chief of police says two malaysians -- 20 people were killed by the bomb in central bancock in august. the inspector general of police has confirmed that they have three -- the three suspects

include a pakistani national. >> we're not sure whether the suspect, the main suspect is in this country. we're not so sure yet. we don't know. we don't have a real -- thai police also have several suspects in their custody. they have yet to explain a motive.

the dispute has been discussed before by politicians and fishermen with little progress. >> fishermen say here that catch and income have fallen drastically because of large scale poaching by indian fishermen. fed up and frustrated by the lack of action to address the issue, they're hoping the trip of the prime minister will bring some results. the prime minister is visiting deli as his first foreign port of call since taking office.

just during the premier's visit. fishermen here say a more permanent solution to the problem is likely. one of the man-made wonders of the world is slowly falling aparted because of approximate elements or people chipping away at the structure. it's the great wall of china. >>reporter: it's a vegetable garden in her family for decades. the crops have been protected from the elements by the

naturally occurring stone available in this part of northern china. yet, not all the stone here comes from the quarry. some came from the great wall of china. some have taken the stones to build homes and gardens, some more than a hundred years ago. >> you have to remember we were so poor back them. modern cheap bricks were not available like now. she is like hundreds of others in the area whose homes are made from the old and the new. ancient china sits comfortably along side its modern descendant. nature has eroded parts, others have been worn away by 70,000 visitors each day. many visitors say protecting the

wall is important. the great wall isn't just china. it belongs to the whole human race and has to be protected. it's a symbol of china and we have to look after it. the tourists visiting today have themselves a photo opportunity for the local chinese. the wall and in part its disappearance is worrying those fighting to protect it. >> it's closely connected to the origin of our culture. this wall is in line with a lack of respect in protecting our pa addition and culture. the authorities have not been ignoring the situation of the wall. the government's restoration and protection plan began in 1957 and it continues to this day because the greatest enemy of the wall is not just man. it's the elements. they're doing their damage as well because parts of the wall are not just made in stone.

they're made in brick and wood and they're prone to general wear and tear and the weather. while it's understandable while villages would have used the wall as a source of free, cheap building material, the biggest battle is still being fought every day as a fight for survival against the elements. still to come on the al jazeera news hour. >> i'm from the united auto union in detroit where negotiations are underway. and in sport, who else could be under scrutiny with fifa? more on that. shortly. . shortly.

chrysler and general motors. the city rebuilding and selling more cars than in years. union auto workers now negotiating with general motors, fiat, chrysler, and ford want a piece of that process per i did. here are some of those negotiations taking place, some workers have not seen a pay

raise in a decade. the companies have been profitable for the past five years but it's not time for a wage increase. the union's top priority is to eliminate a two-tiered wage system introduced as general motors and chrysler faced bankruptcy. >> we got a guy working on one side of the car making $28 an hour. the guy on the right side of the car is performing the same task as his buddy making half of that. and so, you know, that's something that's unacceptable. union officials acknowledge they have a problem. their numbers have gone down from 1.35 million workers in 1979 to about 400,000 now. there's power in those numbers. ford said it wants a fair and

competitive agreement that knows about it. here in the u.s. a little wage. they wait it out until everyone is -- or they have a long grow in for the entry level to reach the wage at the top tier of workers. how that thorny issue is determined is how they continue to compete with their rivals around the globe or return to past practices that just drove them to the verge of distinction. al jazee al jazeera al jazeera, detroit. theout come could come from

this. >>reporter: looking sadder and wiser, he's 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 back in through the window on september 20th. we'll 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. instead, cities are surrenders to an austerity package costing 2% a year. it will do a better job implementing it. >> there was never an alternative. the europe of solidarity and partnership doesn't really want

solidarity. and in the end, he was subjected to blackmail because that's the nature of the union.

subjected to blackmail and it set in completely. >> many greeks agree. only a trickle of voter support is ending up on popular unity door steps. many still sympathize with the man whose feelings are as mixed as theirs. >> some people feel he made a sincere effort to negotiate a better deal against the odds. others feel he's incompetent. cyrus may manage to eke out another victory. no one is yet sure who or what will save greece. al jazeera athens. here's sanah with sports

now. the 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. the united states attorney general said there will be more

charges coming. here's more. >> with so much, this is a necessary update on what's quite an laborious context. all the teams from switzerland and the united states who will working on it and that's why more details we hear about how many bank accounts are being investigated, assets that are frozen, an important issue around those that have already been charged, already facing extradition to the united states. he's the man standing beside

finally after the presidency and he's going by february. but how much of a case does he have? that's what people want to know. also, don't forget, there's the swiss side of this really concentrating on those 2018 and 2022 world cups awarded to russia. . >> as they host last year's runners up event on tuesday. they have had the perfect start to their domestic season and despite italian champions, they will not be taken for granted.

so i'm sure tomorrow we want to win. we need to do very well. >> we had some futbol action on wednesday. new castle was beaten at home. beforehand, traffic jams in east london meant you had to walk the last kilometer to the stadium. >> well, it feels amazing obviously. the morning after. feels even better. has been the best grand slam season ever in my career.

i'm trying to enjoy every moment. very proud of my team of the achievements that we reached together. these are the tournaments that you always dream of winning and this is the tournament that counts the most in our start. this is how it all happened. >> roger federrer, it was djokovic's third grand slam of the season. only suffering some scrapes and bruises and still managed to win the opening set 6-4. the first time federrer had

dropped a set. wimbledon in four sets. at the age of 34, federrer said part of his longevity was because of increased sleep. as a five-time u.s. open champion, the new york crowd was firmly behind him but it didn't stop dijkovic. and while federrer got a set back, it wasn't enough as djokovic claimed the title. >> i had my chances. very disappointed. i should never have depend down in the score the way i was but he did a great job of fending them off and all of that. so it was a tough ride but still

thrilling. >> this is his sixth final at flushing meadows after only the second time as a u.s. open champion. al jazeera. just days away from the opening game of the 2015 rug by world cub. england have named their strongest side. they play fiji, the group dubbed as the group of death. >> we'll decide after this game where to go in this game. it's very much one game at a time in totality and that's how it should be. it's a big threat. it's friday night. you know, just look at the world rankings alone. scotland and argentina and they're going to be ready to play. >> and that's all sports for me. i'll hand you back to lauren. now, when you think of pop part ab-andy warhol comes to mind. but a new exhibition in

london is looking beyond those few iconic images and exploring political messages. in 1966. artist used highway billboards. artists made famous by andy warhol and his colorful prints. pop art was unearths around the world. we discovered so much that we didn't know about that has been part of history that you can't even find if you google and to us that was the most exciting thing. >> the show is decided by themes

instead of geography. the artists reflected their own troubling times. military times, the cold war, did war in vietnam, racism, civil rights. the red code for 11 gave everyone the same skin. a charged image when racism was rampant. it was taken around europe and was arrested in spain for a political act. >> nhls not a campbell soup can or an american comic strip anywhere in this exhibition. it's all about learning about global artists, women artists, women underrepresented in the history of pop art. it's playful, ironic, but these looks show art at its best bravely embracing political things and questioning what is

happening around us. jessica baldwin, al jazeera, london. the japanese government is assessing the damage after a volcano in the country's south erupted. it spewed out ash and smoke on monday morning and anyone within 2 kilometers of the mountain is at risk. there's more for you on our website, there's a news conference at the border in hungary explaining some of the measures being put in place this evening. we'll have more at more in just a couple of minutes. uple of minutes.
