A series. In my speech, i quoted several times from the famous address to the u. S. Congress of 1990. In february, 1990. That you willve not mind if i use the same address of the czechoslovakian president as my inspiration today, as well. He spoke about his vision of built onhich should be the foundations of general respect for human rights, pluralism, and freedom of choice. During and which orders will play a lesser and lesser role. Until they become needed no more. His vision saw this comment at the end of his life already. Onlye gains stability, not in the central and eastern countries, but also in the west balkans, which saw a lot of bloodshed in the 90s. The area which makes it possible to travel freely throughout the eu finally spread the total of 26 member states. Unfortunately, as i said once before, none of these achievements is a matter of course. This fact has been revealed quite clearly. Europe today struggles with problems on many fronts. The greek debt crisis, the illegal

From the pope francis of faith one day before he heads to cuba and then on to the united states. This is Aljazeera America. Good morning, live from new york city, im randall pinkston. More difficulty this morning for migrants and refugees trying to make their way across europe. Croatia has closed all but one Border Crossing with serbia. Now the army is on alert and the government threatening to close the last crossing, too. Croatia has been overwhelmed with refugees coming from syria and other place. More than 13,000 have entered in just the last two days after hungary closed its border with serbia. Lawrence lee is along the serbiacroatia border. Everything is relative of course and even hope to the conditions here are frankly inhumane, its 40 degrees here at the moment, there are babies and tiny children all sitting in the dirt, waiting for a bus, for something to take them further north in the direction of the croatian capital.

The question now is are words followed by action he. And we will be watching carefully to make an assessment as to whether progress has been made in this area. President obama says the u. S. W
Let me bring in my colleague from washington, correspondent mike viqueira. In some ways we knew this was coming. Were still not exactly sure what it means, though. Just yesterday actually two days ago now, im losing my days here. At the unga, Vladimir Putin kind of tipped his hand a little bit that he might escalate in syria, but there has been troop build up there and equipment build up of about 30 days. Off to the sidelines barack obama and Vladimir Putin met, speaking about what should happen about this escalation. Pick it up from there. Youre absolutely right. No one is surprised that russia has engaged in these airstrikes. The question is how theyve been about it, why theyve gone about it, and who these airstrikes are targeting. Russia gave the United States one hour notice saying were going to be starting these airstrikes. The second problem, who are they hitting. The u. S. Coalition has flown hundreds of mission but targeting only isil forces. President putin while in new york i
