anchor: france sends reconnaissance lanes over syria. president francois hollande has been announcing the measure but ruling out boots on the ground. >> my responsibility is to make sure that we can be as well informed as possible about the

threats against our country. in order to counter them. that is why i have asked the ministry of france to begin reconnaissance flights over syria starting tomorrow. they will allow us to see if attacks against the islamic state organization can be feasible. anchor: i am joined by the france military mission to the united nations. >> it is a change in the french strategy. france was the first to ask for flights and attacks in syria four years ago. they decided not to do it, but it was against president assad at that time. now france has been involved in the coalition for the last two

years, but decided only to attack in iraq. france decided to go, as well as the rest of the coalition, in syria because the core of daesh's in syria and iraq. anchor: the president is making this clear this is not boots in the ground. can i add be -- can i.s. be defeated that way? >> no. they will be defeated with boots on the ground. whose boots are they is the question? local troops should be sent against daesh. that is happened currently in iraq where there is training. in syria, you have to organize properly with iran. we are fighting with president bashar al-assad. of course, it that is difficult

because you are supporting the current president. victory will come with boots on the ground. it is paradoxical to see there are so many young refugees coming in europe and us sending troops in the country to defend the country. something to do with training and equipping the young people who can be soldiers and defend their country. anchor: we are talking about a sod there. the red line, no deal with him. i was reading in the paper that it was a former general saying that is the lesser of two evils. >> i think president putin is quite clear that a sod is part of a deal of the discussion, but not of the future. then you have to talk to a sod -- assad. of primary importance

is if daesh succeeds i.s., that is a different picture. does that mean bashir al-assad will be the president next year? anchor: general, thank you very much. president along also said -- hollande will say that paris will take and 24,000 refugees over the next few years. they are offering to relocate thousands of people across the european union. >> it's france's duty to respond to the current crisis. france, were offering the right to asylum is a fundamental element to the soul of the country. the very flesh of the republic history reminds us of this responsibility. it is a history that is full of generations of refugees, people

who have arrived over the course of recent decades to create france along with us. anchor: the kingdom will not the subject to any 50's, but david cameron has been under pressure to do more to help. the prime minister going to counter. >> britain should resettle up to 20,000 refugees over the rest of this parliament. in doing so, we will contain to show -- the country is a country of extraordinary compassion. always standing up for our values and helping those in need. this has begun. britain will play its part alongside our other european partners. because we are not part of this eu's borderless agreement or relocation initiative, britain is able to aside its own approach. anchor: a reaction to mr.

hollande's and mr. cameron's reactions, we are joined. >> not everyone was convinced on the opposition benches of that by the relocating a next her 20,000 syrian refugees david cameron insists that britain has done more than any other you county. that is to say humanitarian aid to syrians in need. britain has given more to that effort than several major eu players combined. talks about the royal navy rescue migrants who risked grounding. i think the message is don't get hung up on the individual figures of refugees that will be resettled. look at how the country is helping in different ways. i think that was also a dig at germany, which accused britain of not doing enough.

will today's statement be enough to duplicate -- placate his critics they say, if you show solidarity with migrants, we will have to renegotiate the deal for britain in the eu that you want. the figures announced today by france and britain are roughly the same in terms of refugees that will be settled when it comes to quotas. britain firmly stands up posed to such -- stands opposed to such system. that remains to be seen. they will see if other nations want to give him that european deal. anchor: there has been no sign of the influx in the eu abating. the hungarian prime minister is criticized over his anti-humanitarian

rhetoric. reporter: a harsh welcome to hungary. around 1000 people spent the night in this muddy field on the border with serbia, waiting for a hungarian authorities to allow them to leave. hundreds have continued to arrive. >> the problem is there are too many people coming, the camp is full, and they cannot get people away quick enough. reporter: police allow groups of arrivals onto the bus and take them to nearby camps under construction. hungry's response to the refugee crisis is to discourage people from entering. more police and soldiers are due to be deployed on the border. crossing the hastily constructed fence illegally will carry a three-year prison sentence for the prime minister says his country's are's response -- harsh response says refugees

fling war should not be considered refugees once in the eu. >> they could live in hungary or austria. they want a german life and want to go there. this has nothing to do with people running for their lives. this is why we do not call them refugees but immigrants. reporter: in capital budapest, refugees are finally allowed to board trains to western europe. some have been waiting at the station for more than a week. anchor: other news. the european commission said it is releasing 500 million euros. the emergency aid farmers is off to brussels. there are plunging food prices. agricultural workers were mopping fireworks and hay. >> not your average day in the

european union report. the news lawyers and tourists walking around taking images and we saw 5000 farmers that broke their tractors, 2000 of them. they wanted to create a stir about plunging prices in beef, pork, and no, and they caused a stir. they lit bonfires, they through banners, they flung hay. and one tractor drove into a police barricade, which resulted in policeman reacting by spring water cannons. in general, most of the farmers there were there peacefully protesting to make their voice heard that they want their money back. they were calling on the european union as a last resort asking them to help them financially.
