5:02 pm
unless the country they are headed to agrees. the e.u. will provide border guards. speed ep repatriation of those whose refugee applications fail. and is looking at food and water for those making a journey across europe. >> live to david. what is at stake in this meeting. >> so far we've had negotiations on a 16-point access plan. it's looking at two things, looking to tighten the border control, send in the guards to get the processing going faster than it has been, and more important than that is to agrees the humanitarian supplies to those refugees that are caught in no man's land trying to get through the borders of europe.
5:03 pm
that is the most important thing. we have seen the pictures. how it is. winter is now approaching, and those conditions can only get worse. >> every day counts otherwise we will see families in the cold rivers of the balkans perish miserably. chilling words from the president of the european commission as jean-claude juncker welcomed others. >> it's about one goal. able to help people wondering around. we improve the process, and all work together on the task. a 16-point action plan is on the table for approval from the countries on the front line of the crisis. i'm inside and outside the european. the message include cards to speed up the process of refugees, and making sure they
5:04 pm
are not waved across borders before an agreement is reach. the slovenian prime minister scribed the situation in his country as unbearable. and had a stark warning to counterparts. >> if we do not deliver immediate and concrete actions on the ground in the next few days and weeks. i do believe that european union and europe as a whole will start falling apart. >> albania, macedonia and serbia were attending the summit. the question, if the e.u. borders tighten, what happens to the refugees on the other side. >> we are welcome to tame the borders, and the others. even if we are not in the e.u. >> the european union is supposed to be a beacon of humanitarian values, and the idea of open borders, that is
5:05 pm
undermines as the director makes clear to me earlier before the summit begins. >> as we have seen over the last days, months, years, is a tarnishing oft you were een union and the human rights record. who will they be, when they see this unfolding tragedy again. fresh from the creep crisis. tens of thousands of lives could be at take. it's a test she can't afford to fail. >> you touched on this in your report, even if the countries there within the e.u. managed to reach an agreement. there are implications for those outside of the european union in dealing with this. >> it's correct. the german chancellor. they made the point when she came into the building behind
5:06 pm
me, the e.u. commission, it's vital still to keep talks going with turkey. so turkey and the balkan countries outside the e.u. at the moment will be vital if this plan is really going to work. it has to work. so many tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of lives may depend on this being more than the usual fig leaf. this action plan has to work. those lives are at risk. those pictures are under mining the values that the european union is supposed to stand for. >> one refugee camp near slovenia's border with croatia has been overwhelmed with people. a spokesman for the u.n. refugee agencies is coming up with a system to screen newcomers. we go now to the croatian slovenian border. >> this is a point at which the refugees enter slovenia.
5:07 pm
this is the first destination, an enclosure in a field behind me, there's no tents, little in the way of warm clothing, decent food to have here. they have taken to burning what they can find, rubber, plastic in order to keep warm. it's an acrid smell that i'm getting. the night has fallen. it's another cold night for those that entered here. about 1,000 at a time. they must wait for up to 10 hours we have been hearing from some reports of volunteers working inside before they can be moved on to processing camps. that's the humanitarian aspect that needs to be improvement, many tell us. with regard not just to here but other camps in slovenia. eventually if the countries are on a coordination system, things will move. so we don't have back logs and the people like the refugees in
5:08 pm
this camp don't have to wait so long in the cold. they can't move forward until the next camp is cleared of its group of refugees, and the next camp, closer to the border are unable to take on the flow without closer coordination between the country's involved in this transit from western balkans into the european union. >> syrian president bashar al-assad says he's ready to take part in elections, and believes a political solution to end the 4-year war is possible. bashar al-assad made the comments do a delegate of politicians, but said a political deal will work on eliminating opposition. there's no question of bashar al-assad remaining in power as part of a peace process. most of the people fighting are patriots. these are the ones that hand
5:09 pm
over syrians. the problem is dialogue, to begin with, he is now a war criminal, or at least an alleged war criminal, because of the destruction to the contrary. i don't think a foreign power will make as. destruction. there's no possibility for syrians to consult with the kids and destroy the citizens. he's not a serious person. listen to the pronounce s and spechers. he is liver and always manufacturer. he tried to oversmart others. he's not into reckon stillation. this is time for transition, change. the one who had all the protests.
5:10 pm
meanwhile saudi arabia says some progress has been made on talks during the crisis in syria. speaking in cairo after secretary of state john kerry met his egyptian counterpart he reiterated that bashar al-assad should have no future role. >> egypt's stance on syria is similar to saudi arabia. we wish to see a transition on syria. both the countries in the institutions preserve, and above all to see the syrian people determining their fate in the future joining he is a foreign affairs ministers on russia and the middle east. president bashar al-assad's recent visit in moscow, with the kremlin's call for fresh elections. she is trying to seize the
5:11 pm
initiative. could they possibly achieve a break through in the efforts where past attempts have failed. >> they could. >> they hold the cards in their hands. they have massive military backing. they are telling the west the reason for this is they want to persuade him to go to talks, and are arguing probably in all probability that no government will go to talks while it's losing. they want to make sure that bashar al-assad, that he feels confident enough to go to new talks, they also said they are ready to talk to the free syrian army, which is not ready to talk to the russians. >> is that a significant change on their part. essentially putting everyone under one terrorist organization umbrella that they may be open to engaging with opponents. >> it's a smart move. that will wrong-foot the west. the west is saying this is a
5:12 pm
russian attempt to get control. to get a naval base, and make sure russian interests are preserved. we are not saying everything will stay as itself. there are chances for talks. they have been putting the pressure on bashar al-assad, they are in position to do so. he has to rely on russian armour to help him. presumably the intervention gives them leverage. >> indeed, indeed. >> if we get back to a situation we had before, the catalyst for russian intervention was the encroach. on latakia, that strong hold. if you improve the position, the country is in a state of chaos, it doesn't look like elections could be held or a viable option. what might the vision for syria be? >> vladimir putin works strategically and doesn't have
5:13 pm
the end game in site. the considerations of the, are largely domestic. it's to take it off ukraine. sanctions are actually hurting the economy a lot. if he takes the initiative in a different part of the world and invites the west to take part in an effort to boost talks or get them going, it will be give for the west to say i think there'll be a new round on ukraine, where it goes is not clear. the aim would be to get back to something like the geneva conference, all agree that a military solution is not possible. a lot of the western statesman are beginning to realise that reluctantly one side has got to win the conflict, before that there won't be any conflict. >> more to come on the al
