>> hello, welcome to the al jazeera news hour. i'm in doha with the top world news stories. coming up in the next 60 minutes: >> germany calling for a european summit to tackle the refugee crisis as hungary's government declares a state of emergency in two counties. >> israeli's military storms al aqsa mosque in east jerusalem,

injuring 36 palestinians. >> russia's president said his government will continue to provide military help to the syrian regime. >> just imagine never being see sick again. the doctors attempting to make motion illness a thing of the past. >> first, deep divisions are exposed at the very heart of the european union, as member states impose border controls amid arguing about how to cope with the refugee crisis. germany and austria have called for a special e.u. summit next week to tackle the growing crisis. at a joint news conference in berlin, chancellor merkel called for action. >> how can we better distribute refugees, handle the numbers in greece? it is urgent and we cannot wait until october. we had a very constructive

conversation in austria and cooperated closely. germany, austria and sweden cannot solve the problem alone. >> hungary's declared a state of emergency in two border counties after detaining more than 9,000 refugees who were crossing in from serbia. it's imposed tough new checks, making it much heart tore access the european union without permission. a four-meter high fence is being erected to stop the flow of asylum seekers. >> there is a call for unity in relocating asylum seekers across member states. >> our unity, or lack of unity internally has an impact on our credibility externally and on the effectiveness of our action externally. we've managed to build unity on our external action in the last month in a very complicated but

positive way. i come to what we do, united as europeans or our external action on migration and refugees. we need the same level of unity and action on the internal policies in the european union. otherwise, we are half. >> that in the middle of these chaotic situation, member states try to take their own measures, and borders try to be more or less differently monitored when in a harsh way, otherwise in a softer way, but it is as if europe, each country is a piece in a posesle, but when you put the pieces together, it is discovered that the pieces do not match anymore, so there is not such a space as europe acting together to be able to grant protection to those in need of protection. >> live now to the hungarian border with serbia.

andrew simmons is there. tell us about the impact of the tightening of border controls. >> this area, we have the fence, where there used to be the unofficial crossing point which was closed on monday that and a big carriage with razor wire at the front of it was pushed along the railway to keel things off. now we have another development in the main crossing points, the road crossing points between serbia and hungary is closed. whether this is temporary or not is unclear. serbia is up in arms at every level, governmental and humanitarian-wise, because some refugees which unknown number

are stuck in no man's land. there are very large crowds gathering on the serbian side, and a lot of alerts going, trying to get clarification of what's going on. as far as the hungarian government is concerned, they are saying that they are merely following the new laws they have in place, which means anyone traveling through serbia needs to register there as a refugee. if they don't, then they will have to go back into serbia and as far as other people getting across the border is concerned, if anybody's deemed to be an economic migrant, they will also be sent back and people, an unknown number, at least 100 it seems have been detained for committing the crime of illegally crossing, that is to tamper with this fence is a crime, to actually get through at any point is a crime punishable by at least three

years, possible prison sentences, or deportation. martin. >> andrew, hungary is getting a raft of criticism internationally for its hard line stance on the refugee crise. what about domestically, how is this playing at home? >> well, the heat is rising on that, martin, now. opposition parties of all colors are attacking the government. former socialist prime minister, who spoke out on al jazeera a day ago is now making statements, saying that the government is totally wrong. they've got to reverse their decision to effectively close off the country to refugees. not only that, a number of other opposition parties are saying that these laws are being taken far too seriously, and the state of emergency should never have been declared. even the far right party, which is of concern because it seems to of been gaining ground in

hungary in recent months, criticizing the government for doing too little too late, they should have been far sterner in measures. a news conference was bean up by two hecklers who were shouting out full right to refugees, refugees, a few stuck here were shouting out in broken english, food, water. it was a bit of a chaotic situation. the police had to i understander vein and take the protestors from and yo austria aside. the foreign minister of hungary is now saying that another fence may have to be built on the romania border, which is wide open, in case refugees try to cross there. that is more than twice the length of the fence here. a very disturbing situation for many people. >> andrew simmons live at the border crossing, thank you very

much. >> to the other side of europe, 22 people including four children have drowned off the coast of turkey after the wooden boat they were on sank. it is thought the boat was heading for the greek island of kos. bernard smith joins us from istanbul. just in case we forget, of course, there is a continuing flow of people crossing over for the most part from turkey, the turkish mainland and then trying to get to the greek islands. >> yes, those new borders controls don't seem to have impact. this boat this afternoon we think sank, capsized was 20 meters long. and it is wooden boat, often used for tours outside the

coastal waters and normally don't have more than 100 people or so in them. this seems to have been packed with 233 refugees. 22 of them drowned, amongst them 11 women and four children. the turkish coast guard rescued 211 of them just at dawn this morning. it's quite unusual to have to say that this sort of boat was being used to make that short crossing from turkey to kos. most of the summer, we've seen rubber dingies. these big wooden boats haven't really been used this summer, an indication that there is still a large number of people trying to get across. >> are there growing demands there because of the rising casualty rate crossing the aegean sea, are there growing demands for turkey to do more to open its land border with greece? >> well, it happens to be a coincidence that today there are more than 1,000 or so mainly

syrian refugees who tried to walk to turkey's land border with greece to the turkish town. they're effectively protesting or sitting in around that town and around that border area and want to make the point that if a corridor was opened between turkey to greece, then people could safely cross over land. the only reason that people are taking that dangerous sea route is because the border between greece and turkey and bulgaria and turkey has been so heavily fortified in recent months, more razor wire, higher fences. it's for that reason at a people are going by sea and these syrian refugees are saying open the land border between turkey and greece for us, people won't drown at sea. >> bernard, thank you, bernard smith live from istanbul there. the russian president vladimir putin says moscow will continue to provide military support to the syrian regime and urged

other countries to join in. the u.s. said their involvement will worsen the situation. it's thought moscow has positioned tanks at a syrian air base. it's been sending two cargo flights a day within the past week. peter sharp has more from moscow. >> president putin has confirmed that he'll continue to offer military support to president assad. the fight has been stepped up now. he says the military equipment will be used to fight isil. talk to the kremlin and you'll see there is no willingness for an invasion of syria. they remember what happened in afghanistan, it took them so long to get out. they also say that putin's got no intention of turning his back on president assad. he has real support in the assad government, and his country has several bases there that they

would lose if assad was toppled from power. in the meantime, putin is trying to put together a diplomatic offensive that would encourage the west to support a joint operation by syrian opposition groups and the syrian military against a common enemy. obviously that common enemy is isil and at the upcoming u.n. talks later this month, this will be a hopefully for putin, he'll get an opportunity to sit down with president obama and put out those plans in detail. >> that was our correspondent peter sharp reporting from moscow. territorial control in syria has caused a change many times since the uprising began four years ago. we can look at how things stand currently. isil continues to hold large parts of north and eastern syria, particularly close to the iraqi border. increasingly, its rebel forces

who have been making major gains in the northwest of the country after seizing idlib. kurdish forces are making gains and putting pressure on isil and are now concentrated in areas close to the turkish border. forces loyal to bashar al assad still control some of syria's biggest urban areas, damascus, holmes and the home lands. >> joining us is a retired army general and military analyst. thank you for taking the time to talk to us. the americans think that the russians sending in of equipment and personnel is sinister. would you agree? >> i think of that this move by the russian will change the whole dynamic of the region. it does not at the macro and

micro level. this decision by president putin will change everything. building certain infrastructure for equipment to be delivered to syria means that this is like a political effort will say directly that the regime will stay, as well as president assad. all of this region, i mean this dynamic in the region will be transformed in the coming months, but it depends how the russian will interfere with the -- >> just to get you to clarify, how will that change things? fundamentally, this difference, this distinction between the u.s. wanting to get rid of assad and the russians wanting to preserve his position at the head of a future government, that has been in place for sometime, so how does this change the situation? >> i mean, we have like an american war on isil and they want to get the americans and

arab coalition and they want to get rid of the president on the other hand, the common enemy is isil for r.b.i. and for the united states of america. the point of contention will be the president assad. what would be the future of assad, so this will create like havoc on the region. what about turkey? what about kingdom of saudi arabia? what about israel? this dynamic is changed forever in the coming months. when you build such infrastructure, it means you are permanent in this region, regardless of tanks and weaponry and cannons, you know what i mean. this is the situation. this is the new turning point. >> so you would suggest then that russia is actually playing a longer gave him and is positioned itself in syria for post conflict country, they want to have a firm foot hold in syria for once the conflict is

over. >> yes, for sure they have a permanent base now. they have reserved a place on the negotiating table, when the political solution will come. so now, this is for president putin to stay in syria, and then he is going to talk to president obama and the u.n. general assembly meeting, annual meeting. this is like a coup, diplomatic coupe for him. he is positions him and preserve his role for the coming solution in the region. >> thank you very much indeed for talking to us live from beirut. >> we've got a lot more to come including parts have indonesia have declared a state of emergency after raging fires caused dangerous levels of air

pollution. >> i'm in the capital of chile, one of a handful of countries in the world where abortion under any circumstances is a crime, but there is a chance that that could soon change. >> in sport, the champions lead group gets underway with a showdown between two of europe's big guns. >> 36 palestinians were injured when israeli police stormed al aqsa mosque in occupied jest germ. palestinians now fear israeli wants to change the rules which curveball allows jews to visit but not to pray. scott heidler reports. >> it began early morning tuesday, the police wanted to arrest people that had stayed in the mosque overnight. rocks were thrown, stun grenades

fired, those inside the mosque built a barricade at a door. it later caught fire but was quickly put out. the palestinian red crescent said two dozen palestinians were injured in this latest confrontation. five israeli police were said to have been lightly injured. >> in what has become a pattern, intense fighting in the early morning hours, and now relative calm. beneath that calm is deep, underlying tension. >> hard line israelis want jews to be allowed to pray on the plaza outside the al aqsa mosque itself, banned since the war which saw israel cap

>> it is worse, thinking about the fact that the role of the right wing groups are not just boosting the radical groups, but also thwarting moves towards a negotiated settlement. one of the reasons why these incidents occur is because of that peace process vacuum. >> netanyahu himself, the prime

minister has said that there will be no change to the status quo. what more should he be doing in order to prevent these outbreaks of violence on sacred ground? >> well, unfortunately, on the one hand, he's saying that there will be no change in the status quo, but on the other hand in recent days and weeks, we've seen rhetoric from netanyahu and others in the government with regards to what they see as rioters and brute force they believe should be used against them. we've seen the legislative encouragement of violence by the security forces on the occupation forces in east jerusalem west bank with the so-called stone throwing laws to increase jail time and netanyahu himself frequently referring to the need to show zero tolerance towards palestinians who are throwing stones and demonstrating against occupation in that fashion. on the one hand, you have the political diplomatic angle

assuring there will be no changes in the status quo at the compound, of course, we've got good reason for not necessarily believing netanyahu's assurances on that front anyway, but on the other hand is this repreparation which is being encouraged and incited from the top down. >> thank you very much for talking to us live from cambridge in the u.k. >> indonesia's government has said companies found guilty of deliberately setting huge forest fires will have their licenses revoked. parts of indonesia are declared emergency zones after fires have caused dangerous levels of air pollution. we have this report. >> sumatra on fire, thousands of heck tars of forest and bush are burning, creating thick, choking smoke spreading far beyond indonesia's borders. airports are closed and early on, the economic consequences appear to be huge.

hour. >> the government has announced that companies won't be allowed to operate anymore when their land is found to be on fire, deliberately lit or not. the worst cases will be blacklisted. thousands of soldiers have been sent to sumatra to battle the fire. most of raging several meters deep, making it almost impossible to extinguish the fires. >> many have lost their homes to wildfires in california, many taking refuge in tent living on donations. the areas have been moved from areas too dangerous to go back to. one resident said his house burned in 30 minutes. >> by the time we noticed the smoke, i drove down around the corner to see where it was coming from. i saw the fire jumping trees and i knew that i had to get my wife

kids and animals out of there. that's basically all i got out of there. by the time i left, there was fire on both sides of the road. >> let's find out if there is any relief to the people of california. ever to know. >> i believe we can hope for relief. look at the satellite picture. you can see there is clouds spilling in from the pacific. the good news is we are looking at lower temperatures. it will turn cooler. we've got the moisture coming in from the pacific. we've had heavy rain that did lead to flooding, very, very heavy rain. you can see this weather system here, the blue line, the cold front sinking down to the north of that with the cooler air in place. you can see how the cooler air runs up across canada. just so the south is where we've got the warmth, pulling in very warm air from the south, denver getting up to 30 degrees celsius. the greens and yellows on our chart, sliding further saw the wards and east wards as we go on
