croatia. that country said that it will help the refugees but the route they're take something littered with landmines. police have been picking up people as they arrive. well, much further south in greece many have arrived on the greek shores. this is on the serbian side of the border, with many trying to break through the border to

break into hungary. the border police have used water canons and tear gas, many putting water in their eyes to combat breathing in the tear gas and the affect it has on your vision. we saw women running, carrying children from very distressed, some quite historical. that man has hurt himself o on the barbed wire or has been hit in the face by something. difficult for us to tell from this far away. but clearly suffering some sort of injury. and these scenes of a child and her mother, children and her mother, trying to get rid of the effects of the stinging tear gas. truly very upset.

hungarian authorities said that many are trying to break through some serbia into hungary. young men, saying they were criminals, and that was the reason that they responded in such a way. there are children there who are distressed of what they're seeing and experiencing. we look back at the events in serbia. >> the hungarian authority say that they have taken lawful action before going to the

border. the frustration is growing. the border is a vital crossing between serbia and european union member hungary. many refugee who is have arrived here in serbia have found themselves unable to travel any further. many refugees hoping for a new life europe's doors remain closed. neave barker, al jazeera. >> and on the serbian side of the border with hungary when the violence broke out, they have managed to open the gate. many women and children and

others in the crowd felt that the hungarians were going to let them through. they were walking in, clapping, people lifted up on their shoulders. they were smiling and singing. they felt that they were victorious. they were able to get through serbia into hungary, and then barely two seconds notice we heard a scream from the front of the crowd. people quickly started turning and running in the opposite direction. at one point many in the crowd worried that it could an stampede. kids were making sure that they could stay standing up running with their parents, we were told by eyewitnesses that the front of the crowd that, in fact, hungarian police had rushed them. they started hitting them with batons. these folks had been greeted in tear gas as well. we managed to run back to the crowd into serbia, and at that point, the situation was calmed. we have seen people who have

sustained many injuries a moment ago. i say a man who harass bleeding profusely from the head. he said he was clubbed on the head by one of the hungarian riot policemen. there is anger in the crowd. now there is a bit of a pattern that has emerge ready young men will start going to the front of the crowd trying to get in there, and then running back when they feel that they will be met with force by the hungarian police. also about five minutes ago at one point the crowd got very happy because they saw serbian policemen, about ten of them approaching, walking towards the border gate behind us. we don't know why they were going up there. they are not riot police. they're just regular border patrol, but at one point the refugees thought they were going to be supported by the serbian

police. it is still tense here on the border. it's calmer than it was. but the scene could change on a dime as it has done in the last couple of hours. >> it seems last night on, especially at quarter past 3:00 this afternoon that this is a violent crowd. trying to break through.

these people are not innocent people. they are no way refugees. we've been talking about this over the last days or months. you have to understand one thing, they're not going to end. >> ban ki-moon has urged european countries to show compassion towards refugees. >> i was shocked. to see how these refugees or migrants were treated this way.

i know that there are some domestic problems. we must assure our compassion. >> describe for me the sort of people you met when you were there. you were on the hungarian side of the border of those who managed to make it through before they closed the crossing. >> i was there for two days on sunday and monday.

all the refugees were told to stay there. we spoke to refugees. they are waiting to be moved. a camp would be allotted them and they would have to make their way to a camp within 72 hours. most people did not make their way to the camp. once registered they want to go through budapest and onto austria. >> the fear is that if you're fingerprinted in that country, that is where you're sigh almost is heard, you'r you're your your asylum case is heard.

>> they are very zenophob zenophobic saying they will not allow refugees. >> it sounds like they've cut themselves off from the rest of europe. it does sound like hundred gory

border where we saw the earlier violence where streams of refugees suddenly ran back from the border crossing, a large number of young men were heading towards that border crossing. but there were people's families members who were affected and caught up in the violence. you can see the number of people being treated at the border crossing. still to come, calls on special court investigating war crimes in sri lanka. and the u.s. secretary of state doe discuss talks in syria.

>> the secretary has spoken three times in the last ten days with the russian foreign minister about the situation in syria. and about other crisis hot spots around the world, he said. but what is important to note when kerry suggested that there might an need for military-to-military conversations about dealing with the ongoing civil war inside syria as well as dealing with the ongoing fight against isil, it is interesting that the secretary of state raised it because d.o.d. canceled those contacts about 18 months ago because of russia's perceived aggression inside ukraine and it's take over of crimea. as far as military-to-military

contacts to resume, they would have to be signed off on by president barack obama. there is no indication that the obama administration is willing to go there. they have been saying in recent weeks, felicity, that they see that there might be--i dress the word might--be an opportunity for the russians and for the americans and for or concerned countries to try to find a way forward on resolving the civil war inside syria as well as trying to redouble efforts to fight isil. >> roros jordan with the latest, thanks, ros.

the u.n. but war victims and survivors say that the international investigation is necessary. a lawyer representing many of them told al jazeera that there is disappoint. >> there is disappoint that arises from the fact that in this recommendations there is room for domestic sort of involvement. >> the report is almost 300 pages. some of it includes testimony of victims and families of torture and unlawful killings, sexual violence, child recruitment, and disappearances. in its initial response sri lanka said that it's performance and contents and recommendations will receive due

attention of authorities. >> the u.n. human rights said that specific individuals were not named in the report because it was concentrating on broad appearance of organization and planning in rights violations. that he said was subsequent criminal investigation. but for now the u.n. must work with sri lanka authorities that will create the recommended court. >> now a situation in al aqsa compound has calmed after three days of violence there. the israeli prime minister is facing pressure from jewish right wing groups to change the law. we have more from jerusalem's old city. >> the violence at the al aqsa

i'm against this. >> israeli prime minister spoke about the visit oh al aqsa compound. >> i think because of the intervention of the politicians in israel many saw a chance to visit the temple mount. >> the israeli minister of agriculture was part of a group waiting to enter when the violence began. the international community has expressed concern over the al aqsa compound. they have urged both sides to refrain from provocative action and rhetoric. the worry is that it could ignite violence outside of the walls of the old city.

like last october, violence that began in the al aqsa compound led to fighting on the streets of jerusalem. it only ended after high-level meetings in jordan with the united states involved. palestinians rallies and possible increase in injure visitors during a religious holiday at the end of the month, the tension is likely to continue. >> al jazeera has learned that yemen's prime minister has decided to stay in the city of aden after making a tentative return from exile. he had been in saudi arabia since march. he left yemen after matthew rebels took over the capital of sanaa. >> libya i the u.n. is trying
