orson welles. that is all of our time. we're live from london next. >> hello, i'm felicity barr. you're watching the news hour live from london. coming up, hungarian police use war canon and use tear gas on refugees at the border. >> the u.n. accuses both government forces and rebels of war crimes in a scathing report. in sri lanka's civil war. and dying oceans a study

finds the world's marine population has declined by 50%. >> we'll have all the sports with the latest from the champions league. it chose that they're looking to over come the group stage match. >> the hello, tensions have boiled over on serbia's border on hungary. well, this was the scene on the border with hungary a little earlier. riot police sprayed tear gas and water canons on those who they say breached the border. hundreds of people are now

stranded at the border after it was closed on monday night. hungary said that they will remai their said that their borders will remain shut for t at least 30 days. refugees are going through croatia. but the route they're use something believed to be littered with landmines. the police are picking people up as they arrive. al jazeera's neave barker has more on the events at the border of hungary. >> angry crowds have gathered at

the board desperate to cross into hungary. the desperation soon turned into violence. special anti-terrorist unites were sent in to push back the crowds. some responded with missiles aimed at the police. families, women and children were among those caught amidst the violence. [ crying ] the checkpoint is a shared crossing between serbia and hungary. the hungarian authorities say they have taken lawful action to protect their border. >> this is an armed mob trying to break into hungarian soil. it is not respecting any international or hungarian rules. >> for those eager to travel north the frustration is growing. hungary is has serbia that it has called on the serbian government to act against certain aggressive migrants.

they're urging serbia to accept for people. many refugee who is have arrived here have found themselves unable to travel any further. many refugees hoping for a new life in europe's doors remain closed. neave barker, al jazeera. >> well, al jazeera's correspondent was on the serbian side when the violence broke out. i talked to him earlier about what he had seen. >> it is calmer now, felicity. 20 minutes ago we were walking with refugees, hundreds of them, as they were going into hungary. they were passing through that gate. they had managed to open the gate, and at that point after they opened it, many women and children and others in the crowd believed that the hungarians were going to let them through. thed into got jubilant. people were clapping. they had their children lifted up on their shoulders. they felt they were sic

victorious. then barely two seconds notice we heard a cream from the front of the crowd. people started turning and running in the opposite direction. at one point many in the crowd worried it could be a stampede. kids were trying to make sure that they were able to stay standing up and running with their parents. we were told by eyewitnesses that, in fact, hungarian police had rushed them, they had started hitting them with batons and that these folks had been greeted with tear gas as well. we managed to run back with the crowd into serbia, at that point the situation, as you mentioned just a moment ago, we've seen people who have sustained many injuries a moment ago i saw a man who was bleeding profusely from the head. i asked what had happened. he said that he was clubbed on the head. there was still anger in this crowd. there was sadness. kids who are getting water poured in their eyes because

they're suffering from the after effects of tear gas. they're crying because of a horrendous experience that they had. it was very traumatic for them. now people in the crowd wondering what is going to happen. there is a pattern where young men will go to the front of the crowd, trying to get in, and then running back when they fell they'll be met with force by the hungarian police. about 5 minutes ago the crowd was very happy because they saw ten serbian policemen walking towards the border gate behind us. we don't know exactly why they were going up there. these were not riot police. they were just regular border patrol. at one point the refugees thought they were going to be supported by the serbian police. they were cheering for those serbian police. it is still tense on the border. calmer than an in the last half hour but it does seem that it could turn on a dime because it has done so many times in the last couple of hours.

>> let's show show you the scene. the tensions have calmed down. there are still dozens if not hundreds of refugees. and waiting along that border. hoping that perhaps the door might open and hungary would allow them in. it mentioned about closing borders with croatia as well state television journalist

concerned that it was interrupted and cabinet members were detained. there are unconfirmed reports that they're demanding the resignation of the president. well, al jazeera joins us live. what is the latest that you're hearing? >> well, they say that the president, prime minister, and some members of the cabinet are asked to be retained by the presidential guard. some people say that it could have something to do with the recommendations made a few days ago that this very elite powerful military unit should be disbanded. some were shot and killed, and they're trying to investigate this. when we were there we spoke to human rights. they kept telling us that they're trying to investigate.

they say that they are so well-connected its hard to touch them. if they're disbanded, it means it could lose some of their power. and it we're also hearing that they are not happy with the interim president. they say he's weak. they say he's been told what to do and what to say. that are factions and rivals who are concerned. >> how much concern is there about the pending election? >> underground officials are seemingly trying to make things work. but there are problems. for example, support of the former president having banned from these elections. that makes some people very angry. some of the people in the presidential guard are known supporters of the former president and the president's family. they're not happy with the outcome of all of these events.

it's still hard to say that it is connected to all the elections but it is a worrying sign. if elections are held, what is the resulting violence? >> now the u.s. secretary of state has spoken about the war in syria. john kerry has told sergei lavrov that moscow's support of the syria's president risk exacerbating conflicts. the meeting between kerry and lavrov is now being appropriate. >> the russians proposed in the conversation that i had today and the last conversations specifically that we have military-to-military conversation and meeting in order to discuss the issue of precisely what will be done to deacon flick with respect to any potential risks that might be

run, and to have a complete and clear understanding as to the road ahead and what the intentions are. you have to have a conversation in order to be able to move forward. we're supposing something, and the supposition is wrong. >> roslind jordan joins us now. what do you know? >> well, it doesn't sound as if the secretary of state ruled out the possibility of

military-to-military contact, but that is something that would have to be signed off by the white house. because at the end of the day the disruption was carried out in march of 2014. that was in response to russian incursion into ukraine and it's taking over of the province of crimea. they're saying in the last 24 hours as long as a person such as the secretary of state have ways of talking to russian officials, they themselves are n not inclined to resume that conversation. this would have to be worked out at the highest levels of the obama administration. but there is this idea within the obama administration that there might be a possibility of trying to find a way out of the civil war and trying to deal

with the problem of i was, which has been trying to claim large parts of territory within that country. >> yes, also there are reports that the u.s. trained for syrian rebels is being altered. what is the government saying about that? >> well, they didn't want to say anything about the reports that came out overnight. that the mission that was supposed to train upwards of 5,000 syrian rebels to fight mainly against isil and one day fight against bashar al-assad. well, they didn't want to talk about that. they have been under pressure, and there have been criticism that the program was not succeeding. after questioning they had to concede that the pentagon is

looking at changing this program from being basically another kind of ground force. there is criticism from senators about the number of those trained under the current program. at one point general lloyd austin, the commander over seeing this air war against isil, basically conceded that there may be four or five trainers actually on the ground who have gone through the program under u.s. military guidance. so there is a lot of skepticism, and there was deriggs coming from the senators about whether the obama administration strategy was word pursuing in the first place.

>> we're sit on one of the most unique hurricane simulators. we show you how it helps to save lives. >> we'll reveal the applicants who want to host the 2024 summer games. >> the u.n. is accusing government forces and the rebels of committing crimes against humanity. >> it took six years but there

is an u.n. report into sri lanka's civil war, accusing all sides of syri human rights violations. >> the report has recommended a special court be set up as an essential step towards justice. the conflict lasted nearly 30 years with the tamil tigers fighting for a separate state in the north. but the u.n. report has sited grave violations of rights between the years 2002 and 2011. which cover the concluding years of the war, the final battle, and the two years after. the u.n. insists that the international involvement is critical. >> we call for international involvement at every stage,

prosecutorial stage, judges, there needs to be a component to all of these. these are violations of an international nature. war crimes and war crimes against humanity. >> the investigation has drawn criticism. a lawyer representing many told al jazeera that there is disappointment. >> the disappointment arises from the fact that there is room for domestic because they have experience going off these

local, domestic involvement mechanisms. they have no confidence at all. >> 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's foreign ministry said that it will make sure that it's report, recommendations will receive attention of the proper authorities. >> the human rights chief said that specific individuals were not named in the report because it was concentrating on broad patterns of organization and human rights violation. that was the subsequent criminal investigation. for now the u.n. must work with sri lankan authorities to create the recommended hybrid court.

>> the situation into al aqsa compound has calmed after three days of violence there. israel's government said that it committed to keeping a law that keeps non-muslims were praying inside the mosque. but in is pressure to change that law. >> the violence at the al aqsa compound might be over for the time being, but the tension remains. there has been an outcry from the palestinian leadership and factions over the thee days of israeli raids. so we spoke to the people on t the streets of occupied east jerusalem to find out what they think. >> i'm very sad about what happened inial al aqs in al aqsa. what should we do?

>> into west jerusalem in israel those we talked to were against visits by right wing jewish groups. >> in judaism it is forbidden for jews to visit the site. there is no point to visit the site. why would we go there, to get stones and firebombs thrown at us? i'm against this. we have the western war, that's enough. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu finished a flash point in the occupied west bank. some observers feel that the increase in tension is because of israeli politicians who use the al aqsa issue for political gain. >> i think it has escalated because of the intervention of the politicians in israel. they saw a chance to promote

themselves by going to the temple mount and giving declarations. >> the ministry of agriculture was part of the group waiting to enter when the group came on sunday. >> the united nations answer soy has urged both sides from to refrain from from comments. like last october, violence that began in the al aqsa compound let led to fighting on the streets. it ended only after high-level meetings in journey with the united states involved.

>> th >> libya's internationally recognized government has recalled from peace talks in morocco afte more rock. the u.n. is trying to broker a deal between the administration in tibr cushion and it's rival administration in tripoli. they played down the dispute but said that time is running out. >> the families of eight mexican tourist who is were killed in egypt on sunday have arrived in cairo. egypt said that the tourists were accidently killed after being mistaken by terrorists.

>> with cameras pointed at them. families leave the government building they have little in the way of thorough explanation of what happened in egyptian on sunday. others have made the long trip to cairo with mexico's foreign minister. >> i will be visiting with the president of egypt later today, and we will see from there what has--what is the next step in terms of taking. >> before leaving she had questions the authorities' version of the events. they insist that the attack in the desert was human error, a car chase gone wrong, but security officers in helicopter and on the ground mistakenly bombed and shot at the tourist

convoy, which is in a restrictioned zone. there were 22 people in that convoy. most were mexicans. some egyptians. the wound ready being treated at this hospital. egypt said that the facts of the case remain confusing, but it will conduct a thorough and impartial investigation. al jazeera. >> tens of thousands of people have rallied in support of the country's prime minister. it is in response to protests calling for resignation over a corruption scandal. >> their message was clear and loud. long live malaysia as thousands march through kuala lumpur. they rally in support of the prime minister, who is facing calls to step down after he was accused of corruption.

>> the government is chosen by the people we must respect them. >> this was organized in response to last month's rally when more than 200,000 people took to the street to demand the prime minister's resignation. accused of embezzling $200 million from a state investment fund, an allegation that he denies. but the so-called red shirt protest is more than just supporting the government. many of these people have traveled from states across malaysia. they say they're here to stand up for the rights of ethnic ma lays, who they believe is being overshadowed by minorities in the community. >> the rights of the ma lays are being threatened by the chinese. we defend islam.

>> critics say that they're working with the divisions. chinese businesses in particular are concerned about attacks. >> they're talking about being anti-chinese. that's why i'm very worried. >> police used water canon to disperse protesters trying to enter pre-dominantly chinese neighborhoods. >> i have here that this is actually snowballing into something more sinister. most of the demonstrators say they're here to support an united malaysia. al jazeera, kuala lumpur. >> we're going to travel to a remote village in back sta

pakistan that is still buried under flooding. and company coming up, more on sports.

>> again a reminder of the top stories here on al jazeera. hungarian police have fired water canons and tear gas at refugees saying they've broken through a border gate in serbia. hungary remains defiant that it will not allow refugees to file through. at least 20 officers have been injured. and violent scenes in lesbos where police clash with refugees as people move forward trying to reach a reception center on the island. thso to what extent do you

believe that hungary is now violating international law or conventions? >> well, we're looking into that. hungary has developed a law that is extremely restrictive for refugees, and we think it is not the right thing to do. we're very concerned. we're trying to find ways to persuade them to find a more humane attitude. people who are fleeing from violence, we think this is very sad. >> hungarian authorities told al jazeera a little earlier that many of the people who were pushing forward trying to get through the border were, quote, criminals. what do you think of the language used there? >> for us they are people who

are very tired. very angry, very frustrated because they've been working for many days, weeks, months trying to find safe security in europe. when they come here and they find a barrier, they're very distressed. so they tend to react in a bit of an angry manner, but in no way would we call them criminals. we think they're people who need support, who need help, and we're here to do so. we encourage all governments, especially the government of hungary is to look at them as victims of violence and not as criminals. >> is there any justification in your mind for the hungarian police to be using tear gas and water canons on these people? >> there is never any justification to use violence against refugees.

we would explain what the situation is and what the options are so they're a bit less angry and less frustrated and that there is a way forward. >> it does not sound like hungary is going to open its border any time soon. it is also talking about closing it's border with romania and croatia. it sounds like hungary wants to cut itself off completely from refugees. >> i think it's very sad. you know, those are people who are fleeing because they're persecuted. they need to be given safe passage. they need to find safety. it is important not just hungary but all of the european union give the effort to give refugees

the safety and support that they need. >> how could you think that europe as a whole has handled this situation? >> certainly not in the best possible way. it is important that the countries come together to try to provide support. it is not just hungary's problem, not one country's problem, but all of europe. they should come together. and give support to all the countries who are hosting many more refugees than europe is doing. we're very concerned. countries like turkey, jordan, lebanon, are not getting the support this need to provide help. they'ring millions of refugees, many more than europe is hosting, and we think it is important to look at the root causes and find a solution to the country. until that happens, friends or no friends people will keep coming to europe and get help and refuge here. >> thank you for joining us in hungary. thank you so much.

now one of the world's biggest weapons and defense players under way in london. >> showing off the latest anti-mine technology, this underwater kit is used by britain's royal navy in places like bahrain. but now they've brought it to a huge arms fair in london on the banks of the thames. before it opened there were demonstrations of another kind. these protesters accused the u.k. of selling weapons to governments on its own list of human rights abusers, something backed up by amnesty international. >> since 2005 visitors have been offered guns, tanks, and horrific killer drones. >> while this time around some countries were deliberately not invited, including russia, subject to western sanctions over its actions in ukraine.

but one nation that is present in large numbers is france. in 2014 france won contracts for arms exports worth $9.1 billion. that was up 18% on the year before. and the french government predicts this year's figure could stop $18 billion. but the impetus for all this are on going conflicts in the middle east. in the last year paris has sold equipment to egypt, the united arab emirates, qatar and saudi arabia, whil while there is a push by russia for assad forces. >> there is no reason to expect that that will change. what will happen more and more

is that the middle east will focus on technology more than equipment sales. >> for some campaigners, an 2 is a dangerous game. >> it has secured large quantities, large stock piles of weapons. there. >> for now countries like britain argue they're arming allies who won't use weapons against civilians. their critics say that is just wishful thinking. >> in pakistan people living in remote mountain villages say that they have received almost no help since the flood destroyed their homes six weeks ago.

>> climate change is transforming the landscape. asiaers are melting and in summer the floods come. it can be rough traveling around here especially when roads have been swept away. it's a two-hour drive to reach the village. but you wouldn't know it was here. it's buried under lawyers of rock. all 9 houses have been spanish smashed to potions by huge boulders that came down into the valley. >> there is a very big glacier. no one has come to help us, no aid, not even a tent. >> people survive by raising cattle and growing apples and walnuts, but all the farms have

been destroyed. the only shelter is a few tents in the shade of a tree. now this house is half buried in the rock. >> we asked the government to recycle us in a safe place. if we rebuild our houses the flood will destroy them again. this place is not suit to believe live any more. >> autumn is coming and with it cold nights. and in a few months this whole area will be covered in snow. families won't be able to survive it in tents. >> all this area was green village, but this is an area of glacier, and every year there will be floods. >> they see the glaciers

retreating and feel the summers getting hotter, and they don't believe there is a future for their children in this valley. nicole johnston, al jazeera, islamabad. >> three beggars in nigeria say that they're prepared to be prosecuted for defying a new ban on begging. the government said that the new law is needed for security reasons. but those who rely on begging to survive say that they have not been given any alter native. >> she said he's unemployed and has seven children to look aft after. >> the reason. >> i'm begging is because i don't have food to eat. that's why i'm begging. i'm praying one day i'll be able to stop. >> this woman is begging, too. she's three months pregnant. she has been abandoned by the

baby's father and said she has no place to listen. >> i need help for money for rent so i can stop begging. >> the ban on begging has been imposed by the state government. all these people are defying it. barack obamboko haram attacked this area, but we spoke to those who say they have nothing to do with the armed group. hundreds who live here, it's called the beggar's colony, said that the government did not create jobs, now they must defy the ban to survive.

>> they will come out to make provisions. i want to assure you that there is not a single person on the street begging. >> the issue has created conflict between the citizen's rights and the freedom of movement and the responsibility to keep them safe. >> the institution gives the state powers to take steps to delegate on certain rights where those rights are--where those actions impacts on public safety, on public security, and on public health. so for the state it will rely on this section of the institution to avoid responsibility. >> back on the streets those fighting for people say they won't let the government get away with t and they will challenge the ban in court. al jazeera, nigeria. >> well, hurricanes are a constant threat, but scientist's

understanding of them is still limited. >> scientists have been studying hurricanes for decades. this state is no strange for deadly storms. now they have a new tool in their arsenal that could change things. this vast taker is the largest hurricane simulator, and within minutes it can generate powerful winds and raging waves and researchers say it's the ability to toy the interaction between the sea and the storm that make it potentially revolutionary. >> we're going to be able to learn some things here that are definitely a leap forward. where we push the technology. we have taken it well above what existed previously. >> it took are a year for engineers to build the tank, and researchers were not sure what results it would yield.

but the ability to mimic not just the hurricane but stormy waters seems to be paying off. this stimulater is now at full power. i can feel this entire tank moving and shaking below my feet. but what makes the simulator below my feet, it gave scientist as greater understanding with the ultimate goal of saving lives. >> forecasting and tracking hurricanes have improved over the past 20 years. the predicting storm intensity is still very difficult. warm waters are what fuel hurricanes in its hope of a new facility and team will improve on vital forecasting for years to come. >> it is your scientific treatment come true because you're able to see these things that you want to see but you can't go out in the field to do it. >> it is loss hoped, and feel

that this could make a great difference. >> a study that shows that sea life like this is dying out. and the all-time greats makes bold predictions in the rugby world cup.

>> hello again. environmentalists are saying

they're hopeful that australia's new prime minister will take the issue of climate change more seriously than his predecessor. andrew thomas reports. >> a wind bomb thomas blames the low frequently noise republican rated by the nearly turbines. australia's government under tony abbott appointed a commissioner to investigate the complaint. but environmentalists said that he was seizing on various health concerns to adjust an attack on wind power, they said that was part of a broader campaign against renewable energy. abbott once describe climate change as absolute crap.

he declared coal good for humanity. as for wind energy and wind bombs, for some it's a sign of beauty, but not for tony abbott. >> he thought they were a blight on the landscape. >> they're ugly, noisy and have other sorts of impact that i will leave to the scientists to study. >> i find those wind turbines around lake george to be utterly offensive. >> abbott's government withdrew financial support and reduced targets for renewable energy production. on monday tony abbott lost his job. australia's new prime minister

malcolm turnbull has a new look on ye renewable energy. they're hopeful that things will clang. >> we feel this economy moving forward in years to come, we're very encouraged and supportive that that will be the case. >> turnbull's first big chest on the environment will be the international talks in paris at the end of year. if turnbull attends it's the first sign of a greener government. >> details in studying marine life have revealed a troubling picture. reduced by half in the last 40 years. the issue populations declined

by 75%. sharks, rays, and sea turtles are among the endangered speci species. it puts the economic output at risk with nearly $3 billion relying on fish as a major source of protein. rising sea temperatures and acidity levels caused by carbon dioxide are making matters worse. global marine director at wws international said that the decline in sea life can be reversed. >> one of the good things about oceans is that they have a level of resiliences in these marine populations if we take the pressure off they can bounce back. there are two key opportunities. we have the sustainable level, and there the united nations,

the leaders of the world come together, and they have an opportunity to build political will around ocean restoration and of course, everyone is starting to focus on the climate change negotiations in paris. so we think that there are two opportunities for world leaders, and communities in civil society to really come together. >> time now to catch up in sports. >> barcelona has just started their defense of the champions league trophy against roma. despite roma beating juventus, 2-1. and to be sitting second in the standings. the champions league has just gotten under way.

a win would take pressure off jose mourinho after the recent poor domestic form. well, to the asian champions league where japan has reached the semifinals after winning a cliff-hanger there were plenty of goals going one down. listed as ply candidated for the 2024 summer olympics.

paris, rome, hamburg and budapest will be battling to bring the games back to europe. los angeles are the only bidders from north america. they are keen to restore the image of the game after the disappointing 2022 campaigns where there were only two candidates. >> we have changed the whole procedure for being candidate for hosting the olympic games. now we're inviting the cities to tell us how their vision for their cities, and how the olympic games would fit best into this vision. >> let's take a closer look at those applicanted. paris had a failed bid for the 2012 games. which was to london. the french capital has been host twice before. the last time being back in

1924. rome, who last hosted in 1960, had staged a bid for the 2020 games but pulled out because of budget concerns. hamburg has never hosted the games before. they beat out berlin's race. budapest is hoping to join russia as the only eastern european country to land a summer olympics. and los angeles is aiming to land a third after 1932 and 1984. l.a. was the united states second choice after boston pulled out at the last minute. well, earlier we spoke to to phil barker, who said that it could make a change in the decision. >> it was introduced by the ioc

following extensive consultation with members of the public, the olympic community, the sporting community to try to reduce the high specification better to renovate facilities and use existing facilities that build new ones. this certainly has attracted budapest to bid. they were slated to host the 1940 olympics. that did not work out for them. and as a small city it could be a new and intriguing development. >> tony parker put in a stand out france are looking good, they had go through to the group unbeated, becoming the highest

coring team. >> not able to deliver recent glory greece going down 73-71. two more games going on with serbia beating the czech republic. italy will take on lit wayne in on lithuania soon. some believe that big upsets could be on the cards. taking part of a haka in london earlier and believes that the likes of western samoa and fiji is a place that they could call shocked. ththey start their campaign against the u.s. on sunday. >> this is the thing. everybody is talking about th who is going to win the

tournaments, the new zealands, the englands, the irelands, the wheals. they forget about the island boys. and those guys have a game or two that they will upset somewhere along the line. >> back to felicity. >> sana, thank you so much. now as any facebook user know liking a post is one of the significant features on the social network. what do you do if he want to acknowledge a post that you don't actually like. fear not coming soon is facebook's new dislike button. it's creator mark ducker mark zuckerberg will allow users to

>> protestors are gathering... >> there's an air of tension right now... >> the crowd chanting for democracy... >> this is another significant development... >> we have an exclusive story tonight, and we go live... >> business man bill browder. >> if my grandfather was the biggest communist in america, i'm gonna go become the biggest capitalist in eastern europe. >> from communist origins to capitalist tycoon. see why he's now set on taking down vladimir putin. >> the russian government remains determined to ruin me in any way they can, including killing me if they can get away with it.

>> the police use waters canons and fire tear gas at the serbian side of the border. >> hungary off limits, desperate refugees use a new route through croatia. hello been, i'm felizties bar. i'm live from london. coming up, in burkina faso, a new cabinet just days after calls for the unit to be diswanted. israel's pme
