>> the crack down on the finlandle construction group. partly blaming the firm for friday's crane collapse in mecca. >> this is al jazeera live from london. also coming up. >> stopped at the border, hundreds of refugees stuck in serbia. as hungary closing the crossing into the european union. dozens injured as israeli forces storm the mosque in jerusalem. and could this be the foundation for a drug free treatment for motion sickness?

the owners of a collapse that craned have been banned from taking part in new forces. they are also been banned from traveling while the investigation takes place. more than 100 people were killed. the saudis blame strong winds for the accident. they also say the crane was wrongly positioned against the recommendations of the manufacturer. bin laden is one of the largest firms in the world. al jazeera is in mecca, and says this is a major move by the saudis against the construction empire. >> while it is a very significant one, because it is the biggest in saudi arabia, it is one of the biggest in the region, in the entire world, and i think this is trying to settle old scores. this is like my speculation,

or my look into this whole incident, because the bin laden group has been operating big massive mega projects throughout the years. and remember, there was a new king coming, a new administration, so this could be an indication on how things will proceed as we go further. the incident killed 107 people at the very wrong time. saudi arabia is preparing for the haj season, that will start in a few days. that crane imbalanced the nation, and put it under the spotlight. however, the government is trying -- the government is adamant to try and root out all the causes and the reasons why that crane -- why the issue of safety wasn't really looking at very seriously. but i think it will lead other nations to look into

projects that the company has implemented. because in saudi arabia, the decree was very clear, that an investigation should take place into previous projects that become -- as carried out. so it is interesting to see what they come up with, and after the investigation ends. the full investigation, for the whole thing, i don't know how long it will take. it's very interesting also that there is a travel ban imposed on the owners of the company. so it is very very hard time for the bin laden group as we move forward. european union have brought forward an merge summit to next tuesday. austria has become the latest country to bring in the boarder checks. hungry has declare add state

the law. we will not forgive this matter to the hungary government. the far right party said they had done too little too late. heckled by two protestors. >> refugees on the other side of the fence, were ael pooing for water and food. >> the prime minister believes he is taking the lead, at a time when e.u. members still can't reach agreement on share quote teas for settling refugees. and the rift between east and west in the european union has never been bigger. it's shaking the union, to it's very foundations. while e.u. leaders are slow in making decisions on the ground, here, the situation once again, is deteriorating quickly.
