. >> the prime minister alexis tsipras has criticized other member states for their response. >> when it comes to the refugee crisis, greece has taken a disproportionate burden compared to its exhibits. however, our response was immediately and beyond our obligations to the european union, but also, it's our duty to our own values and culture. we may have refugees who are in need of help, our culture dictates we protect those people and not be violent against them. it turns out other e.u. cultures are not the same. >> joining us to tell us what's happening to those refugees, hoe door, they are being blocked there and not allowed to pass through, what is the situation generally like at the camp behind you? >>> certainly it is a very difficult situation and gets worse by the day. this is a makeshift camp, it is already at full capacity. they go to the woods to light a fire in the evening when the temperatures drop dramatically. further up there, there's a crossing point and there is, i would say chaos. there is no other word to describe it. people are frustrated, uncertain with each day

alexis tsipras said he'll press for fairer burden sharing and solidarity as an emergency e.u. summit takes place monday. thousands are tramped at greece's northern border unable to travel on. let's take you live there now on the greek-macedonian border. germany in return has criticized the greek government for not doing enough to prepare for this latest influx of refugees. what's being done there if anything to ease their plight? >> well, the greek government is trying to do as much as possible, but you have to remember that this bottleneck all started when austria and some balkan states took lateral decisions and started imposing these very stiff measures at the border crossing, so that's when this all started and when this camp sort of grew over the past few weeks into a place where living conditions are extremely difficult. >> it has become the symbol of europe's failure and disunity when it comes to refugees. the border that remains more closed than open. the latest selection system to cross into macedonia dependency on the date of arrival in greece. those waiting here lan
