The leaders of france and germany have called for a unified response to the continents biggest refugee crisis since world war ii, more refugees have started coming into europe from serbia and the crisis is said to top the agenda at a summit of western balkin leaders in vienna and they arrived in hungry and the Prime Minister called for more money from the eu. Meanwhile thousands of refugees are now in macedonia after the country reopened its border with greece. Macedonia declared a state of emergency and closed the crossing points for three days, Andrew Simmons reports. Reporter in the heat of macedon macedonias border with greece the pathway for refugees may be fully open again with a confrontation and occasional minor scuffles but as the journeys may have quickened they are bogged with arguments and came to a makeshift Reception Center to defend the decision to close the border last week and here to foreign minister talking about what the European Union was or wasnt doing about the situation right now. In the brief time they spent with refugees the man who is an oil engineer from serbia wanted to get a word in. To solve this problem for sierran refugees and why this is on syria. Reporter europes youngest foreign minister didnt have an answer to the question. Macedonia blamed greece saying it had no controls or security on its border. Translator our intention was not to close to border but to protect it. This was confrontation with refugees. In humanitarian terms surely it was a disaster. Translator our efforts were motivated by the humanitarian situation. Its also the fault of greece if there is no support for the refugees there. What are you going to do apart from blaming greece . We have a meeting with western countrys and germany and commissioners from the European Union. Reporter those words have been heard before and the fact is that little changes for these people apart from the speed of boarding trains like this one, away from people in the cities and towns of macedonia. And so is the political talking goes on in berlin, brussels and other european places the word is after the violence on this border there is a primitive Reception Center in operation and refugees will quickly move on and lead to more undoubtedly coming on the route leaving the humanitarian crisis further on the line, Andrew Simmons, al jazeera, macedonia. The u. N. s Refugee Agency says it expects up to 3,000 refugees to arrive in macedonia each day. Lets talk now to Alexander Kraus with the unhcr and joins me from skype and thank you for taking the time to talk to us, 3,000 arriving each day, how are you able to cope with it . Yes, im currently at the border area at the new Reception Center where heavy machines deployed by the army and on the ground here which will then will be in preparation for setting up a Reception Center and also the facilities in order to cope with the refugees coming here to the center. And these Refugee Centers we know there has been a call by both france and germany to have more of these Reception Centers as well as a unified response from europe. What sort of difference will this make and what sort of response are you expecting . At the border area what we are doing at the moment is in order to make sure that registration facilities are set up and make sure protection sensitive asylum systems are being put in place and are operational. We have support of the government with equipment. We are supporting them with that to speed up the registration process and we are also providing basic humanitarian assistance here at the border town in this area. Tell us what it is that people need. I know its very hot there at the moment and i believe you are seeing many women with children and pregnant women. Yes, i had the opportunity to speak to another one here the whole day until late at night. We have also some psychology and social workers here and to speak to a lot of them. So a lot of pregnant women. There are babies. I had a mother with twins, two months old. They were out in the sun and walking and of course very exhausted and we were able to provide them with some baby food, with some medical assistance and provide them to be able to eat. Thank you for the work you are doing and talking us through from the unhcr. It has been another day of big swings and heavy losses on chinas stock market, one analyst said the resent turmoil left even the hardened trader gasping for air and falling prices saying they are spooked by faltering economy which has until recently been one of the pillars of Global Growth and we have more from beijing. Trading across asia pacific opened on tuesday and opened with baited breath with traders wondering how markets would react considering the fall in the shanghai composite was so dramatic on monday. The markets were shaky and making losses in the early part of trading and regained some of that ground as the day progressed and made up in some cases on those losses. Markets that were in profit were taiwan, australia, singapore, but the shanghai composite and the market that many global eyes were focused on ended at 7. 63 down on the day. Hong kong was down by just under 1 . Tokyo was down 3. 96. Effects of what we have seen in the past 48 hours will not be felt immediately. We will be seeing those effects possibly in the next few days and weeks and also the reaction to these falls from the Chinese Government will be very important to see how they actually decide to deal with the failing stock market or even how to deal with the currency on how it is felt, whether its a strong currency or a weak currency globally. All these issues have to be debated and examined and i think the analysts will perhaps have their say which could influence the way we perceive in the next few weeks. Joining me is steve who leads the school of politics and history at Kingston University in london, is this as scary as it looks . Yes. This is the signal, beginning of the debt crisis that has been building up in china since it had an exploding level of private debt starting in 2009 as the governments antedote and it has been waiting to happen and not just the stock market and the private market as well. Reporter bad for china but what is it doing about the World Economy and its particularly bad for those providing commonties to china. Reporter falls heavy on australia and canada and south america and who exports Raw Materials to china and Southeast Asia and korea and japan and export demands from china and having a crisis. Reporter what does this say about the policy on the past and what its likely to do now . Well, the china response to the Global Crisis back in 2008 was to stop up domestic demand because of their collapse in their export demand and did that by saying lenders to lend to a pulse in china and had a dramatic chance and drove private debt from the National Bank of settlements in 2008 to 280 this year and under studying the actual level of debt and they cannot be sustained and falling over. Chinas initial response was to react to the Property Market by encouraging people in the share market and that is like encouraging people out of the frying pan into the fire and we are seeing the fire burning and people with margin debt in china which is why it was a dramatic event happening in china right now. Encouraged to go to the markets other than those suffering at the moment. What sort of trickle down impact do you think this is likely to have for the man and women on the streets, can you generalize that . In china severe because it means a down in demand and the mythical figure of unemployment and china has been publishing for the last five years and unemployment has been 4. 09 , anybody who believes that i have a bridge i would like to sell them and increase unemployment in china and increase risk and people seeing their wealth being wiped out by the stock market will demonstrate and really only as chinas nationals can and it will be lively and china has to change direction now, stop doing the impossible and supporting stock prices and try to find a way to let private debt fall and asset crisis fall and they reduce the impact of this downturn but they simply cannot keep asset prices up to give it a try at the moment. Yes, used to say when america sneezed the rest of the world caught a cold, that is the fear now with china and a country looking on nervously is australia as our guest was saying earlier on, last year australia exports to china were worth 65 billion and two thirds of that, 42 billion was iron ore and coal which they needed for construction growth and as it slows down so does demand for price and four years ago at the height of australias mining, boom iron ore was 200 dollars a ton and now its 52 and the price of caal has haveled to under 60 a ton. Andrew thomas reports from singleton in new south whales. Reporter until recently australias economy was known as the wonder down under, that has changed and prices collapsed, hitting australia hard and this is felt in towns like singleton where restaurants have closed, rents and house prices are down and shops are empty. Car dealer is still in business but has seen a 30 drop in sale answer has been laying off staff. Its real belt tightening time for us with 4050 people five years ago and 2530 people to keep the business afloat. Reporter the reason is that singletons economy is tied into the coal industry, mines surround the town and the price of the coal tumbled more than half in four years. This is the Hunter Valley north of sidney, australia the coal mining, region and a few years ago it was booming, no longer and mines cutting back on production, new mines put on hold and thousands seeing cuts to their wages or losing their jobs entirely. Coal is australias second biggest export. The biggest iron ore used to make steel has seen its price collapse even more and other Commodity Prices are down too and robert was being flown to remote copper mines every two weeks where he repaired may sha machinery and he was told he lost his job by text message. We are on a single income and basically start back over and looking at getting resumes and looking for work again on job seek and all tell rest of it very hard. Reporter most economists dont think australia is on the verge of economic collapse but if the downturn starts to effect house prices which in big cities have so far proved resilient australia could be in trouble, a lot of the countrys wealth is bound up in property. If we were to see house prices fall and we were to see ongoing weakness in Commodity Prices then australia would have some real problems and not that i would be forecasting a recession but the risks of recession would increase if the Housing Market weakens and house prices start to fall. Reporter the wonder down under is not looking quite so wonderful. Andrew thomas, al jazeera, sing singleton. Markets in europe shrugged off the stocks in china and risen in early trade and london was 2. 9 higher, frankfurt was up 3. 3 , so was 40 in paris.

Marathon talks north and south korea reached a deal to end a tense military standoff, south korea turned off antipyonyang off with the north and expressed regret for a blast that injured two south korean soldiers and harry faucet is life from seoul. Reporter not the most natural looking group but after sessions of talks totaling 43 hours it had a significant moment and one relayed by state t. V. To its people including a rare expression of regret. Translator north korea expressed regret over resent land mine incident on the south side of the demilitary and demarcation line that wounded the south troops. Reporter they demanded a clear apology for what was an attack and if the language fell little short of that seoul is treating the talks outcome as a vindication of a hard line. Translator our government following the principles of strongly dealing with north koreas provocation and opening the door of dialog to resolve the issue. Reporter south koreas loudspeakers which had been blaring broadcasts and songs and other material deemed harmful to the state was silent at noon, the allotted time but are installed on the border and the front line troops stood down from the quasi state of war. South Defense Ministry said some of the 50 north korean submarines that disappeared from their bases appeared to be returning. Now the immediate crisis has been resolved its switching to the longer implications of the deal and calls for another round of talks as soon as possible in pyonyang or seoul and talk of regular meetings between north and south korea Going Forward to help build trust on the peninsula. The first test of the deal is likely to come next month when it calls for a new round of family reunions allowing those separated since the end of the fighting in the korean war to meet again. The plan is for it to coincide with a harvest holiday at the end of september, harry faucet, al jazeera, seoul. The Turkish Military says 34 members of the Kurdistan Workers Party or the p. K. K. Have been killed, the fighters died in air strikes in northern indias Mountain Region and began a military operation in the region last month after a p. K. K. Attack on turkish troops. Turkish erdiwan has a freshman date for a caretaker environment ahead of snap polls and there is one november first and didnt win for majority in june parliamentary elections and the first time to do so since coming to power in 2002. Talks to form a coalition have been unsuccessful. Lebanons cabinet has held an emergency meeting to discuss antigovernment protests. They began over uncollected rubbish that was piling up on the streets but since has become much broader. Interior ministry say 99 members of the Security Forces and 61 civilians were injured during two nights of violence on saturday and sunday. Translator we are calling for a transparent, serious and independent investigation to be launched, to hold those accountable who were involved in violence in the last two days of protests such as the politicians, the Security Forces and especially the interior minister and for the arrest of security personnel who shoot meetly without any delay. Lets bring in jamal in beirut and im hearing the Prime Minister is calling for Security Forces to remove the concrete wall that was put up outside his office, what does this suggest . Indeed, jane, it is a rather bizarre move and that concrete wall was put up less than 24 hours ago by Security Forces outside the Prime Ministers headquarters and the offices in beirut and the two nights preceding that. The Prime Minister, the Cabinet Meeting is still ongoing as we speak and its an attempt by them to show the government is trying to appease the crowds and its listening to the protesters because that wall was seen as some sort of aggravation or something that was essentially offending the process as if they were trying to hint or trying to storm that building when the vast majority of them were peaceful. More skeptical says tension from the very beginning when the wall was put up is to be taken down like an hallow statement saying they are trying to listen to the crowds. Regardless if its here or there, the protesters demands are much greater than the concrete barricade that was erected on monday and calls for resignation of the government and the problem is not just in garbage or rubbish, there is corruption in the government, there is an inability by the ministers to provide basic Services Like electricity and water which often get cutoff in large parts of country for many hours in the day. It is all of those things that they have been protesting about. However that protest movement because its not linked to any of the Political Parties all of which share or have a huge share in terms of the power structure here in lebanon, its not yet its yet to be seen whether that protest movement is capable of actually achieving those demandss they have been making. Them si this emergency meeting, any word yet . So far what has come out of it is the statement by the Prime Minister asking for the wall to be taken down. Right now officially they are just discussing these timbers the government issued to the private sector in terms of giving businesses the right to sell basically the basic services to the population here, something that had angered a lot of people because they felt those contracts had a lot of corruption behind them. Whether the Prime Minister comes out and makes any other bigger statements it was a few days ago maybe he would resign if the situation continues and we will wait and see but the meeting is still in progress. Thanks for that, jamal. Three saudi soldiers have been killed along the border with yemen. The government says a guard came under artillery fire from Houthi Rebels and people mainly soldiers killed on the border since the conflict began in march.

Volcano erupted in reunion in the indian ocean and hot lava from the volcano since monday evening. People dont live nearby which is fortunate but the area is popular with hikers. Its one of the worlds most active volcanos and this is the fourth eruption this year. Lets get the weather now with rob. Talk us through the typhoon which has left japan. Finally and taken two days to go up the string of islands and down the sea of japan. Lets have a look at the satellite picture, this time yesterday we were just watching it having gone through okinawa and did damage with the amount of rain and left 300 millimeters but wind was strong and it was a category three typhoon by this time. And then, and you can see it behind me, the eye of the storm shows it tracking right up the train and a typhoon all the way and hit as a category two typhoon and downgrade since then and then its gone. Now that means its quite active at time it got here and the winds were quite strong, the rain was quite significant, easily 300 millimeters and of course people are used to it and coped with it. As far as i know there were no fatalities and certainly loss of power admittedly. There you go. And 279 millimeters fell in 21 hours but surprisingly because its such a big area of cloud the heaviest rain was actually to the east and on the main island. 439 millimeters. Now the thing is not called a typhoon any more and probably still going to be active there and for 24 hours, south and north korea and much of honshu has a lot more rain to couch.

Thousands of refugees returning to somalia from the camp in kenya, 400,000 people live in the refugee camp but in 2013 an agreement was made to help people leave, most of those have returned and are living a life of hardship in the port city. And mohamed reports. Reporter built on a strip of the sandy beach, long time has been home to those displaced by conflict and drought in somal somalia, recently the population has ground with refugees returning from neighboring kenya. And she and her daughter returned a few months ago after living in camp for 21 years. Translator all we have here is peace. We have nothing else. We got no help to settle back and got no aid from anyone. Reporter just before the first group of refugees returned a number of charities came together to build these makeshift shelters for them. No one lived here, all these houses have been abandoned and the families who are settling here complained they were too tiny and did not offer protection from the heat. Its the difficulty with shelter and other humanitarian services that is calling on the ability of returning refugees to live in dignity. Most forced to swap one refugee camp for another and local Officials Say there is little they can do for them. It required a huge resources to settle and they have children and a schooling system. They need hospitals, medical care. There are so Many Services they require which they cannot afford. Reporter these young men are not exception though and they have been trained by them to build boats out of fiber glass. Majority of refugees are left on their own and every morning hundreds of them take to the streets looking for work. And he has lived in the kenya refugee camps for 11 years. Translator im facing the same problems i fled from. Im still all refugee. I thought i would be resettled properly and begin farms but here im a laborer. Reporter near the kenya border with somalia is the Worlds Largest refugee camp and is home to nearly 400,000 somalis. It was hot and over a few years they will empty the camps but with the situation in somalia they wont be coming back soon, southern somalia. Reporter it has ground in decades and established in 1991 to host somalia and that number has more than doubled. The kenya government threatened to close it after the attack of a university earlier this year but it has since softened its position. Im joined here in doha by the migration analyst and has reports and worked with the u. N. Refugee agency and good to have you with us. What is your experience of what is happening at the moment and those who are returning in particular in somalia . First we need to interrogate the whole concept of refugees returning back voluntarily. I would say that we do not have enough knowledge to really understand the peoples choice. You are doubting they decide on their own and maybe they were pushed. I think its definitely something worth interrogating. Okay. At the moment we do not have enough studies that are large scale enough and indepth enough to understand that these people know exactly what is lying ahead in somalia, particularly in places like luke and two others, three locations that have been identified as pilot projects locations and cities. But i was looking at what you said a little earlier and you are saying the government does have the capacity to deal with these if they want to. No, i do not or actually think so. Large parts of south and South Central somalia remain insecure, in fact, and there is evidence that militant groups like alshabab actually still have presence in those parts and the government, as much as they are doing their best to combat militant forces along with other forces, its a difficult situation. And i would also say that the resent federalization project that has been pushed by the International Community has created political instability and some conflict actually in large parts of the southern and Central Regions of somalia. What do you suggest and you say you doubt possibly the majority are going there because they want to so where does this leave them, kenya doesnt need them. Its a per perplexing situation and what needs to be done is have a better understanding of whether the refugees themselves in kenya understand the situation in somalia. I think it has to be understood better whether these refugees when they go back to places in southern and central somalia have the social networks in place that would help them sustain livelihoods and protect them and government has presence in the places they are going back so they can Access Protection and there is some International Assistance available to them at least in the first few months when they return back and i dont know. From that point too. Yeah. Thank you very much for your time. Talk very having me. Sierra leone could soon be free of ebola, the last known patient with the virus has been released from hospital and the Ebola Outbreak that began last year killed 11,000 people in west africa, a third of them this sierra leone. And nina reports from the city of kenny in the north. Reporter in the day a celebration for this woman now an ebola survivor and hopefully the last as she came out of the treatment unit staff who worked there sang a celebration song in her local dialect. Sierra leone president handed her the discharge certificate. He congratulated her on beating the deadly virus and on the hard work of all those who contributed to fighting the disease since the outbreak hit the country in may 2014. We recognize the events to see reunions nationally and international ly and provided the support in the field. Reporter celebrations continue for her in her village and most of the Treatment Center where she was cured. And even though there is reason to celebrate officials warn people should not be too relaxed because the country is not ebola free just yet. Has to be 42 days of no new cases to be ebola free, double the time of the normal incubation period and its transmitted through direct contact of bodily fluids could still surface. We should not get complacent and doing the things of stop washing dead bodies and follow burial procedures. Reporter echoes that statement and she caught the virus from her son caring for him and he died in july and the village had to be quarantined and she says she misses her son and will keep sending the message for people to take precautions against the disease now she understands how deadly it is. Translator i want to remind people ebola is still around so if you are sick call 1170 emergency Ebola Response line. I do not want anyone else to get sick. Reporter but for now its about a celebration of life and a new hope that this virus might finally be stamped out for good, the count down for being ebola free officially starts tuesday.

The suspect in fridays attack bordered the train at brussels mid east station with no passport or baggage being checked and on monday france transport minister promised more stop and search checks hinting at the use of profiling. Translator whenever we talk about random stop and search checks people say they could be d discriminatory but i do it effectively to be efficient than to remain a spectator. Reporter eu law trains cross borders without passport control and baggage checks of air travel and Police Forces now face a huge dilemma, how to improve the security on the high speed rail track and track people on the borders and freedom of movement which have become such a crucial part of the european economy and its way of life. No where is that more true than on the t vchl g network, a crucial lifeline for the economy carrying 250,000 people a day from 250 stations across 1500 kilometers of high speed track. Across france but also into neighboring eu states. On monday the head of frances rail network ruled out airport style security but it may be the only way of guarantying safe travel. What needs to be done is the first four International Trains are the ones more likely to be targeted, most probably to have like the euro star, some kinds of metal detector, some kind of Airport Security like would be the first step and obviously trained marshals would be a good step as well. Reporter fridays attack shows how vulnerable the rail system is and it might be awake up call that radically changes the way europeans travel by train, simon mcgreger wood, al jazeera, paris.

Reporter there are many roads that lead to downtown here and come rush hour they all look more or less like this, bumper to bumper traffic in myanmar. Since government regulations were laxed four years ago car ownership has risen and so has traffic congestion. Its a far cry from the days of military rule but only a select few were allowed to import cars. We had about, around 15, 20 increase per year so that means that within two or three years then it just doubled up and then the city itself is not prepared in many aspects.

President barack obama is throwing his weight behind new rules to promote clean energy and wants to reduce the Carbon Emissions by almost a third in the next 15 years but critics say the policy doesnt go far enough and White House Correspondent patty explains. Reporter u. S. President barack obama picked a place where he would be pretty popular to talk about Climate Change, a Clean Energy Summit and guaranty Energy Companies have to use their products and used it to announce an additional 1 billion in loan guarantees for Companies Working to improve clean energy. There is Something Big happening in america right now, for the first time we can actually see what our Clean Energy Future looks like. Reporter that is money the government wont have to spend unless the Companies Fail and critics say the u. S. Is not spending enough of its own money on research, the u. S. Government will spend 3. 7 billion in 2015 and with the research that is just 5 billion and 1. 5 billion of that is spend on clean energy and energy research, far less than most industrialized countries and say they are spending it in the wrong places. The national mining, association and represents Coal Companies are lobbying against the rules and says Climate Change is real but believes coal power plants can be made cleaner if the government would invest in Carbon Capture technology. It is already being done on small scale where that c 02 is then sold to an oil field to drive out tersiary oil and you put it in the ground and pump out oil and you not only get a product you can sell you are storing the bad stuff but that requires a massive investment. Reporter the Obama Administration had pushed a program to look at Carbon Capture technology but cancelled it before it got off the drawing board because of costs and not enough interest from the private sector. At least a dozen states are planning to sue to stop the new carbon rules arguing it will cost jobs and drive up the cost of power and they are saying the exact opposite is true and they are confident they will win in the courts. The Supreme Court held three separate times the Clean Air Act authorizes with greenhouse gasses. Reporter until implemented we will not know what is right, if it will cost us more or less. The president uses this as a major part of his legacy and can only put the plan in place and to be the next president tool to decide if it will be implemented and they say if they win the new rules will simply go away.

Reporter open air racing is a treasured part of the spot with a protected cockpit saying it would effect the aerodymamics of the vehicle and hard to exit in case of danger and the indy car concludes on sunday with six men in for the championship title, that is a fight that will no longer seem important. As challenging as today is and yesterday was, you know, he is doing what he loved to do and what we all love to do and why we will all be back competing in his honor in the near future. Reporter Justin Wilson is survived by his wife and two young daughters. Elise holman, al jazeera. Wilsons death renewed the death on how to protect drivers in cars with open cockpits. Take a look at this, a view of what a driver gets in an indy car or formula one car and at least drivers exposes to debris coming towards them and the dangers have been highlighted in recent years and formula one died in july after spending nine months in a coma following a massive head injury when he crashed into a recovery crane during the japanese grand prix and 500 winner dan weldon was killed when his head hit a pole and fence during a 2011 crash and formula one survived after being hit in the helmet by a loose spring which fractured his skull in 2009 and he returned to racing the following season. And roberta is a former racing driver and motor sport journalist and joins me now, and the simple solution appears to be to put canopies over the cockpits and why is there such opposition to that idea . Well, i guess one of the reasons is tradition, the same goes with the open wheels which also create dangers. Safety has to go and it has been going on. The attrition rate in this sport used to be terrible and its far safer now than it used to be but we must keep on trying to do things and building something, a canopy for a driver cockpit is not an easy thing and what you are saying is to close the racing cars and touring cars and gt cars. Is there anything that can be done to keep the drivers safe and yet still balance the need to have an open cockpit . Well, in the u. S. You are racing between indy racing, concrete walls and the accidents are contained within the circuit and you get this form of pack racing where everyone is running together and one crash involves lots of other cars, doesnt happen so much in formula one or in other series. To build a structure around a cockpit to save a driver would mean a radical redesign and radical rethinking of the cars. Recently we have seen deaths in both indy car and formula one, both open cockpits, both highspeed racing. Is one safer than the other . Formula one is safer than indy car i would say. As i was saying in indy they tends to run close to the wall, the cars run close together. You get a domino effect. And the crash that just happened come back into the path of other cars. In formula one where the circuits are more open, a car goes off and it is gone and out of the way and doesnt involve other cars as much. But the danger is always there of course.
