Carrying away the remains of the dead, men, women, children, the youngest a mere toddler, all enduring their last hours in barbaric, undignified circumstances. The corpses were so decomposed that their bodily fluids had begun to drip out of the vehicles back door. This is how they ended their hellish journey to escape war. Among the remains, a syrian travel document was recovered. Time and again, there have been cries for solutions to prevent such deaths for those trying to get to western europe. Attempts to prevent from from coming under such desperate circumstances in the first place are not working. I think the condition is not to make more border checks. I think those two solutions to find legal ways to europe, because on the one side, you can protect the refugees and on the other side, its the best Austrian Police say that a bulgarian hungarian trafficking ring was most likely responsible. Based on the findings of the investigation work carried out by the burger land criminal investigation office, together with the hungarian authorities, the Public Prosecutor that i should arrest warrants of four people overnight. In spite of the danger, thousands of people keep coming every day. They embark on dangerous journeys, desperately searching for a better life. Already, the number of refugees and migrants crossing the mediterranean to reach european soil have passed 300,000. They will keep coming while war and strife continue unabated. Al jazeera.

The danger of making that journey doesnt seem to discourage the refugees. Ate two people died when their boat rank off the coast of libya. Over 100 people are still missing from that sess sell. Claudia has the details. The Mediterranean Sea has become a dark reminder of peoples desperation to escape violence, persecution and poverty. Thousands of people have been killed crossing from north africa to europe so far this year. An overcrowded boat sunk shortly after leaving libya in the latest tragedy. We are migrating, our boat sang. It was in bad condition, people died. The libyans saved us. May god bless them. Weve been forced to the route of death. The grave is the Mediterranean Sea. Libya is one of the main transit routes for people fleeing conflict and poverty to make it to europe. International smugglers take advantage of the countries lawlessness and chaos. Libya is struggling to cope, putting those rescued into overcrowded detention facilities. They are forced to leave in poor conditions and lack basic medical care. In another incident, a swedish vessel docked in palermo after rescuing hundreds of people from their boat drifting at sea, but dozens of others werent so lucky. Their bodies were found in the hold of the boat. This is one of the tragedies we have seen a lot in the mediterranean. Its the first time for the swedish crew and the swedish ship. Unfortunately, its one of many. The u. N. Estimates that more than 2,400 people have died trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea so far this year. Hundreds of thousands have made the crossing into europe so far this year in the desperate attempt to improve their lives. Many are families traveling with children. The European Union is trying desperately to find to establish a coordinated strategy to resolve this latest crise. In the meantime, the people keep coming. Al jazeera, rome. There are continued calls for a unified european strategy to deal with the refugee crise. The latest coming from germanys foreign minister. We need to spell out European Solidarity when it comes to refugees. Even if we face reservations on the part of our Eastern European neighbors, we need fairer distribution among the people over europe. We spoke with will turner onboard a boat along with 400 people rescued two days ago off the coast of libya. Hes an emergency coordinator with doctors without borders. Its very powerful, very dramatic scenes. The image of a wooden boat bobbing around in a large ocean, which is cram packed full of people, you cant even sea you can barely see the deck at all, and knowing how Vulnerable People are from one minute to the next, it could be the difference between 500 people being on a boat and the next minute, 500 people drowning in the sea. People go through a huge range of emotions and mental trauma from leaving their home countries, traveling to get to libya, suffering in many instances some terrible abuse and persecution in libya and then when they finally have the opportunity to flee, their only option is to go in these boats through people who profit from their desperation, and then hopefully, they will get rescued and picked up. Its a roller coaster of emotions and when people come onboard the safety of a ship, then people initially are relieved, but theres trauma and distress. Of course were seeing on a continuous basis terrible tragedies happening. Many people died, 52 people died two days ago. Yesterday, yet more people dying, and we ask ourselves when is it going to be that european policy makers actually wake up and address this situation in a responsible and humane way. Enough to iraq. The countrys top shia cleric is voicing support for protests. Security is being tightened in the capitol ahead of the rally. The government must show of theyre serious about fighting corruption. The Prime Minister greatest reform plan is for greater actions to civilians. Lets go live to the capital. Zeina, what are these protests all about and why are so many people determined to take part . People have started to gather at Tahrir Square in baghdad, as well as in other squares across southern iraq. These protests have been going on now for weeks, every friday, people take total streets demanding an end to corruption. They want officials to be held accountable. This really started as a grassroots movement. People were frustrated about the lack of electricity, now it has become an uprising demanding change. They want the Prime Minister abadi to reform the political system in the country. He has promised reforms. We cant call these protests antigovernment at the moment at least for now, because these people are taking to the streets to give abadi support to push ahead with these reforms. Like you mentioned, the highest religious authority in the Shia Community is throwing his weight behind abadi as well. He is a very influential man in iraq, but abadi will need the help he can get. He is up against a lot of challenges. He is facing a challenge from within his ruling alliance, because at the end of the day, if he does carry out these reforms, its going to hurt Political Parties take away their privileges, take away their power. While, you know, when the people take to the streets, what weve seen over the past weeks, they carry the iraqi flag. Its like a sign of unity that they have overcome sectarian divide. In iraq, there is a divide within the majority of Shia Community between the security and political factions in this community, which have gone stronger, really, than the states. What are these reforms that the Prime Minister is proposing, and as he manages to push them through, will it be enough to take the sting out of these protests . Well, this is what they are demanding. They want the Prime Minister to reform the political system, which has been in place in 2003. That political system divides power according to sectarian and ethnic lines. Appointments are made not according to merit, but according to sectarian and party affiliations. People are really growing frustrated. They can no longer cope. Its not just a lack of basic services and what they see as mismanagement by the government, a lot of the youth of iraq are trying to find a way out of the country. Theres still no they dont find any hope. Abadi is under a lot of pressure. For now, they are not calling on him to leave power. Theyre trying to give him that support, but like i mentioned, hes up against powerful factions. Abadi has a weak government. The governments strength, really is from its members, and its members, some of them are some of these politicians actually have paramilitary groups which are stronger than the iraqi army, so a lot of challenges ahead, but undoubtedly a crucial moment in iraqs history, really. Many thanks live from baghdad. Turkeys Prime Minister is forming an interim cabinet to oversee new elections. A vote will be held in november. Two major opposition parties rejected the opportunity to be part of a government but it may have representatives from the kurdish h. D. P. Thats not a finished job. Thats not a full recovery.

We are tired, but we know that now is the time to rise up. Guatemalas never been poor. The government has stolen from us. We want to show the word that the People United can achieve change. The president s televised sunday of any involvement in a multimillion dollars scandal only serve to bring more people to the streets. Many schools and businesses were shut to allow students and staff to take part. They were joined by groups from rural guatemala who have been blocking roads around the country for days. Guatemala might be a country of sharp divisions with rich and poor, urban and rural, seldom coming together. Thats what makes this protest so unique. People from controls the country and from different social backgrounds uniting forces for a common goal. The president watched the demonstrations on security cameras from the safety of a government office. Just days ago, a judge indictmented the former Vice President for fraud, bribery and elicit association. Congress has taken the first step in a protest that could impeach the president for involvement in the same scam. This analyst says the president has few choices available to him. Guatemala might be a country with sharp divisions, rich and poor, rural and urban seldom coming together, but thats what makes this protest unique. People from across the country and from different social backgrounds are uniting forces for a common goal. Guatemalans will have a chance to vote for a new president in just over a week, but with the leading candidate all dogged by controversy, people here say their fight is far from over. David mercer, al jazeera, Guatemala City. In chile, thousands of students have marched in the capital santiago, protesting delays in government plans to introduce free education. Daniel reports from santiago. These student marches have become a regular part of the political landscape, demanding fundamental change to an education system, they say it is unfair and should be free to all. The wealthy are able to send their children to exclusive schools and universities, while the less wealthy are having to send their children to Public Schools for which they say they still have to pay. They are underfunded with poor facilities. Several people in control were appointed in 1973. There are clashes between the police and protestors. Tear gas and Water Cannons are being used and protestors throwing stones. With Commodity Prices falling, the government doesnt have the money to implement the fundamental changes these students are asking for. It does seem with negotiations moving very, very slowly, these marches are likely to continue for some time to come.

These chirp are off fans whose parents are among thousands of People Killed by the armed group in northern nigeria. Their school and home for now offers them a new start, but the transition has not been easy. We are trying gradually to bring them out of the bad experience, let them forget about it. It is a gradual process and they are coming out gradually from the bad situation. Its been six months since they have been here trying to adjust. The children here may be making progress, trying to be kids again, but most live with the trauma they have experienced for the rest of their lives. Some have seen what no child should ever see. Many are still in shock. The youngsters story was particularly sad. Boko haram fighters decapitated his father in front of him. The traumatized boy says very little, and is detached from the rest.

Others we heard just a few moments ago have been recruited by boko haram. The multilateral assessment ordered by indicated that a number of agencies are working closely to ensure the children are taken care of in the communities they live so they are not completely delinked from society. It is a traumatic experience and so in the interests of government, it has concentrated in that direction.

The storm that killed four people i in in dominica. Floods wiped out roads and swamped villages. Its expected to reach hurricane status on monday. U. S. President barack obama has been meeting with residents of new orleans. Its been 10 years since the city of devastated by hurricane katrina. The process of rebuilding has been quite a struggle, as Andy Gallagher reports. This isnt president obamas first time in new orleans. He has marked evidence of hurricanes before, but he talked about the cities rising poverty, particularly months r. Among its africanamerican population, addressing a crowd, he tackled the issue headon. Our work here wont be done when almost 40 of children still live in poverty in this city. Thats not a finished job. Thats not a full recovery. Outside the new community center, residents waited to catch a glimpse of the president. He remains popular in this community, but many here of complaints about what they see as the citys uneven recovery. They should have gave it to the people here, but they didnt, because the majority of these people was black and poor. To rent a home now, one bedroom is at least 900, so the rental issue for housing, the market just is skyrocketing. To compound that, the lower ninth ward still carries highly visible scars of a storm that for many changed everything. To witness firsthand the challenges president obama was talking about, you only have to walk a couple of streets from where he made his street to see things like this. More than half the population of the lower ninthward have returned. The ricing cost of living may be the biggest challenge. The president told resident that is their efforts hadnt gone unnoticed. Im here to say, im here to hold up a mirror and say because of you, the people of new orleans working together, this city is moving in the right direction. I have never been more confident that together we will get to where we need to go. You inspire me. The president s focus on poverty and race will be welcomed by many here.

Lets find out where it is headed and whether its going to become a hurricane. The meteorologist is here with us. Richard. You take the latest track literally, you have to say that the chance of forming a hurricane is less. Theres sun certainty. It interacts with each of those caribbeanized and obviously goes over the island, it weakens as it stays over warmer, open water. Theres still a matted looking feature. It doesnt look like a classic hurricane setup, but has produced vast amounts of rain with the flooding there. The track is expected to go across the northern tip of Dominican Republic and maybe just making landfall towards florida. Floridas governors called a state of emergency for monday when expected land fall will occur. If it hits florida, it will do something as nothing more than a Tropical Storm and heavy rain across the caribbean by that time. If it was a little further into the atlantic, it would pick up very warm water, in which case it would stand a chance of developing into a hurricane. Obviously a lot of potential here. Meanwhile in the pacific, things are looking lively. We have one, not two, but three storm systems. Let me introduce you to the hurricanes and Tropical Storm. The main one is going to be this one, its going to move towards hawaii over the next few days. Could be quite a nasty system. Hopefully, it will pass just by the islands. A thick stream of lava has erupted from hawaiis big island. The fast moving flow has crept into a nearby forest. Scientists say it is not expected to threat that populated areas.

More now on the figures from al jazeeras caroline malone. 350,000 syrians applied for asylum in europe over the last four years, half in germany and sweden.

Iraq despite its troubles has 250,000 refugees from syria, more than 620,000 syrians are in camps in jordan. The People Living in lebanon are now Syrian Refugees, nearly 1. 2 million people. Nearly 2 million syrians have fled turkey, the equivalent of the population of brussels. Many syrians who make it to turkey see the greek island of lesbos as a stepping stone to western europe. With local authorities still waiting assistance from brussels, theres little to welcome new arrivals there. We have a report on an island struggling to cope. This is the letter to the greek Prime Minister, mr. Alexis tsipras, asking, saying that we are dealing with a major humanitarian crisis. In the Mayors Office, the chief of staff explains that Lesbos Island is sinking under the weight of refugees. Theyve promised help. How much help have you actually received . Actually, to be honest, we havent received yet a single euro. With what appeared to be the best of intentions, the ministry is doing what it can to house and process refugee numbers that are now a third of all arrivals anywhere in the e. U. Every month. Are you phoning your family . Yes. He is talking with his family, that he is safe and no problems until now. Dishing out food in the camp is the man, until recently feeding homeless in athens. Its not just the greek government, its the European Union, n. G. O. s, where are they . Here there are only volunteers. When you look around you in this camp, do you wonder whether you made the right decision to leave syria . Its hard, very hard to leave our country, syria. No other choice. Its a war. And here we are safe. There is another camp, harder to find, run by that the police and we dont get inside, but were told the conditions are much worse. They refer to it as the Detention Center. Thats what it was originally designed to be, a Detention Center for Illegal Migrants who have been arriving on lesbos for years, hidden in the hills like a dirty secret. What is happening now is quite different. These are refugees and their numbers growing rapidly. An estimated 3,000 crossed the water from turkey in just the last 24 hours and theres no hiding them, not in the port and public parks where they wait for ferries off the island, not in the local cemetery where they lie in anonymous numbered graves. Lesbos island, greece. Police in australia have called off a random visa check operation following a public outcry. Hundreds protested in the city of melbourne. It was supposed to be a flagship policing mission but instead operation fortitude became operation ineptitude. Police were forced to admit it is going badly. This is not nazi germany and we need to fight it now. The reaction was such that a blunt statement had to be issued. Its been clumsy. Theyve brought the city to a standstill.

This is as close as we can get to the camp, which in the last seven years has become home to 300 people, including dozens of women and children, most of whom attended the local schools. As of right now, are on the move and homeless yet again. A local counselor was on hand to explain why this was happening. The expulsion of this camp follows a court order. A judge decided in february to order the evacuation. The people in the camp had six months to organize a departure. We had earlier visited the camp which provided some stability. A place from where families could begin to integrate. The local council explained it received no help from the government which has little patience for the people. There is one of the 80 families who once called this place home. Well have to sleep on the streets or in front of the town hall. What can we do . Where can we sleep . I have four children. N. G. O. s say closing the camp simply moves the problem somewhere else. Every time they are expelled, these people have to move and start again from zero. We have to find them again when they are spread out. We have to recontact them, get them back in the health system, find the new jobs, new schools. We have to start again from scratch. They want the authorities to let them stay and prove the facilities. This is a time which budget cuts and the government seems ununable to implementing realistic policies. Al jazeera, paris.

The aim, to hammer out details which will make an already existing International Arms trade treaty operational. Those include empowering the secretariat who will police and conduct transparency on handguns, tankers, fighter planes and war ships. The treaty will force the premise of a more peaceful world. I commend those states pro proposing responsible arms transport. The hope is to decrease the violence in syria, iraq and mexico. A plan to track guns into mexico dock fired on the United States.

In sport, an american hurdler goes for gold if the World Championships just days before hes due to undergo a kidney transplant. Pam painers warn of annoyingologyical disaster in the red sea, which they say is shrinking. Its one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region, but environmentalists say the dead sea, which borders israel and the occupied west bank and jordan is shrinking rapidly. The ancient salt lake famous or its water and mud has been losing meters of its water every year. An israeli tour guide said the decline of the dead sea and apparent indifference of neighboring governments has been shocking. I see the dead sea as a international property. Its really one of a kind in the word and it should be an International World heritage, and instead of, we are destroying it, and its being degraded from day to day. The dead sea is shrinking because 70 of its natural water sources are being diverted mainly by israel, jordan and syria for farming and drinking water. The remaining 30 of deterioration is called by pot ash Mining Operations in israel and jordan. Environmentalists are concerned about the hundreds of sink holes that have opened around it. Some are as deep as a two story building. The sinkhole development is because of the drop of the level of the dead sea and associated with that drop is the drop in the ground water level. That causes areas that were previously within salty water to be flushed by fresh water. Some projects have been launched to try and save the dead sea, but environmentalists warn that it could take decades to repair the ecological damage, and that until the neighboring countries stop diverting waters to the ancient lake or put an end to mining practices, its all but certain to dry up. Al jazeera at the dead sea. Time now for sport. Olympic champion hurdler merit has won a bronze medal in the mens 110 meters just four days before he undergoes a kidney transplant.

As much as he could, but i checked to make sure he was ok, because i think he got the worst of it, because he was off balance, he was falling backwards.
