Mustard gas against civilians in syrias Northern Aleppo province. Im in beirut, where a concrete wall is being erected outside the Prime Ministers Office after a night of violence. Lets start with the growing refugee crisis in europe. The u. N. s refugee agency, unhcr said 7,000 refugees have arrived in serbia from macedonia since saturday. Thats when macedonia reopened its southern border with greece after declaring a state of emergency. The country had been struggling to cope with refugees trying to cross into western europe. Its difficult. Its like everest. Its difficult to see anything. Its difficult to stay there and no future for my children, and i lost my job. I lost everything. Im engineering. My wife is a teacher, no income, no everything. I saw actually one camp which is roughly one kilometer behind me, which is guarded by the police, but i havent seen any barbed wire. I havent seen any tensions between roughly around 100 Serbian Police officers and border police, and several hundred migrants. What is happening that those people are being gathered there at that location, and then being taken on foot to the location right behind me and as you can see, there is one u. N. Agency bus and these buss taking and shipping these refugees and Illegal Migrants from this place to a town which is five kilometers north from here. Ive seen a number of relatively happy faces among refugees and among migrants, because apparently, they are happy, because they cross another hurdle on their trip on their way towards the e. U. They feel macedonia is behind them, that the horrible ordeal that happened a couple of days ago is behind them and they feel relatively safe. They also know that until from here to the e. U. , there is only one more border ahead. I think that is very good sign for them and they are happy because of that. The Australian Foreign minister is calling for a new strategy to tackle the crisis, calling it a human disaster. Sebastien visited the border between macedonia and greece, a scene of violent crackdown by police over the weekend. Our correspondent is there where the crackdown occurred. Im not sure if weve got andrea. We havent got our correspondent, Andrea Simmons just now. Hopefully, well get him back later on. Macedonia opened that border with greece. They are only letting three small groups in at a time, trying to prevent a mass russia. The greek border town is where people are still arriving every day. Were here on the greek side of the border. It is busy, but for the moment, there is a system in place and the system seems to be working. New arrivals coming here all the time at this point are able to the least to access basic aid, food, water, medical attention if they need it, sit under the shelter before continuing. On the Railroad Tracks are a group of people waiting, Macedonia Police in front of them, raise door wire across the borderline over there and Macedonia Police lawing people through in groups of a couple of hundred perhaps once an hour to continue their journey to the railway station. This is an absolutely unrelenting flow of people. To give you an idea of the south of the country, a few hundred kilometers away here on the islands of the aegean, there are 900 people sitting, growing by a thousand people every day. There is a capacity of people making shuttle trips to athens. Those people arrive here within hours of being dropped off the at athens port, so an unending flow of people making their way through greece into macedonia and on wards to certain yes. Many refugees arriving in greece have come from africa or the middle east over the water. The International Organization for migration says nearly 10,000 migrants arrived on the island last week alone. A ferry carrying 2,500 mainly Syrian Refugees from the is now docked on the greek mainland. It was chartered to move the refugees closer to the border with macedonia. Its the third such trip in four days. Lets look closer now at some of the numbers involved. Up until july this year, the number of refugees and migrants who crossed into europe either by land or sea had already totaled 340,000. Thats more than double for the same period last year. The majority of people are coming to europe through the mediterranean sea. Greece has seen the greatest number of arrivals, around 150,000 this year alone. Italy is the next biggest arrival Coastal Point with around 104,000 and spain received more than 2,000 refugees. We can go live enough to the island and talk to steven from the International Organization of red cross and red crescent. Youre on one of the ims that the one of the focal points for many of the refugees trying to get into different parts of europe. Im just wondering why so few of these refugees want to stay either there or on any of the other islands or within greece. Why would they want to move further afield . Im sorry, could you repeat the question please . The connection is not very good. Wondering why so many of the refugees do not want to stay in greece, they want to go to different parts of europe. Theyre hoping to find away place to set up their families im afraid youre absolutely right, the line is not terribly good. Were going to try to get you back later on to hear the thoughts of the International Federation of the red cross and red crescent society. For now, hundreds of mainly african may go grants have fought with police in the Italian Police in milan. They briefly blocked a road, protesting their Living Conditions in a temporary holding shelter. They say the Red Cross Center is overcrowded and theyve been waiting there for months in inhumane conditions. The migrants need to be given temporary documentation before they can be allowed to leave the center and move on. An italian navy shim carrying refugees from africa has arrived in the port of messina. The coast guard rescued at least 300 people on sunday from overloaded boats. It said it picked up 4,400 people over the weekend, making it one of the largest rescue operations yet in the mediterranean. Many refugees say they want to end up in germany, which is expecting around 800,000 Asylum Seekers this year, but they may not be welcome. There is been an increase in attack on refugees and Asylum Centers. We have visited one of those refugee shelters targeted by far right protestors over the weekend. German chancellor Angela Merkel condemned the attacks. More than 30 police have been injured since friday, trying to protect the Asylum Center from rioters. We can go back to our correspondent in the border town, right on the border with greece, where you saw so many desperate scenes over the weekend of people trying to get through and stopped by Macedonia Police. Andrew simmons is there and witnessed all of this. We have news that the Austrian Foreign minister has been in town calling for a new strategy. Has he given idea how it is to be formed . The Austrian Foreign minister has been here at this makeshift reception center. He spoke of a new strategy, but he did not describe what that might be. What he did say was that macedonia had been left alone with inadequate situation to cope with the hole influx of refugees coming over the border. As a result, they had effectively closed the border. The interior minister was also here. He was defending his countrys actions, saying they had no option but to protect the border. He said protecting the border was different to closing it down. However, one cant get away from the fact that there were percussion grenades and rounds, rounds fired during this confrontation and there were injuries. Now, what he said was that greece was responsible, and so the foreign minister, saying greece werent controlling in any way the massive number of refugees, enfact encouraging them to come across the border into macedonia. The greek government was responsible, according dew both ministers, so its a blame game. As the blame game goes on, as you can see here, eight umbrellas for shade and a tent there for shade. Right now, weve got a break in between hundreds, thousands coming through here to go on a railway nearby and then get straight on to serbia. Of course now, the massive Pressure Point has been moved up the line effectively to places like serbia, which is where the 48 hours of traffic of people here have moved to now and then places like hungary. I was going to suggest that macedonia seems to have made an abrupt turnaround from stopping people crossing into its territory, then changing its mind, letting them in, in small manageable numbers, and then deciding that that he can make haste and get out of their territory, putting them on trains and buses, making itself effectively a very brief transit point. Effectively whats happening is that macedonia has developed a system here where it is simply a transit point. This is not a human camp. There are some basic needs looked after, but sanitations pretty poor. This is all about moving this vast number of refugees and desperate conditions away from here as quickly as possible. Its pretty clear right now, but because we are in between the arrival of refugees, but you can see they are clearing the ground with diggers. Beside that in the distance, you can see the water cannon in case of trouble. This is all going to be fenced in to protect it from the outside, which is effectively the People Living nearby. They dont want to see these refugees. The government here wants top isolate this problem to this rough piece of ground and a train line to get them out of here. It is rather a vast operation, but as far as the politics go, their pretty stagnant. There may be a meeting in berlin today with the francois hollande, the french president , and Angela Merkel from germany, but the difficulty is that the dublin agreement, which is supposed to coordinate the whole problem of this flow of refugees just isnt working here, and so what theyre looking for is another agreement to try as the Austrian Foreign minister put it, to try and coordinate what the governments are doing about the problem, but coordinate, what does that mean . It means some sort of means of really either blocking the refugees from coming through, giving them proper court checks because little is being done in that reward, they are now being registered, but not in a particularly thorough way and also the human situation, its pretty appalling. Very little is being done, and when you look at this thing, the Biggest Movement of people since the second word war, its diabolical in places. Andrew simmons in macedonia. As andrew was indicating, so many people from where he is have now moved further up the line. Theyve gone across the border into serbia. We can join our correspondent on the serbian side of the border. They are queuing in huge numbers, registering here. They are allowed to freely move toward north of the serbia towards belgrade and further towards hungary. Right next to me is a representative from doctors beyond borders. What are your tigs saying about the number of people actually coming here . We estimate for the last four days between 8,000 to 10,000 people who crossed the border. As you can see, there are some long queues for registration. The days are hot and the nights are cold, and most people, most of them have two weeks of travel with Long Distance walking and they are tired, exhausted. They need shelter, food accommodation and their goal is to get to western europe as fast as possible. Do you think that these governments, particularly government in serbia are doing enough for these people who apparently need water, food, shelter, anything. The serbians are doing great with shelter, we are creating two new camps for people and theyve given care, food, drinking, and there is a number of migrants increasing faster we dont speak about migration anymore. We can speak about the numbers so big. Just a half hour ago at the border, another 400 people just arrived, and we can weve focused arrival like 2,000, 3,000 people a day every day for the next few weeks. Just a short question, according to your knowledge and your information, will we see the reduced number of people crossing this border anytime soon . Anytime soon, no. We foresee an increase and through the winter. The winter will be slowing down the people, because during summer or spring, more movement and people travel. During the winter, the travel will be very difficult, and even if the number of people decrease a bit, the travel will be more difficult for them, and i dont think anybody is yet prepared to thaaccommodate those people in a proper way with the cold. Thank you very much, that was representative from doctors without borders, now back to you. Live there from serbia, thank you. Lets move on.

The stock markets around the world are down after a big selloff across arab osha and it started incline in a. Stocks there plunged to an eight year low. The concern among investors sent global commodity bryces tumbling down. The share selloff began within minutes of the Shanghai Stock Exchange opening. Some of the chinas Biggest Companies means there is a New Invention trying to prop up the market using the state pension fund. It failed to stop the slide. How can the markets drop every day like this . One, two, three, four, five, the market dropped for five days and it never rose back. Many borrowed to buy shares and are now being forced to sell those shares to pay back the loans. The Chinese Market aims to eliminate the middle class. After eliminating the middle class, the middle class will have no purchasing power and the market wont be flourishing. Worse still, the value of their pensions could be at risk if the markets decline continues. I think the government can solve this properly. The government wont spend all the pension money on the stock market. The government is reassuring investors, but everything its tried to rescue the market has failed. Since june, the shanghai index has lost 30 of its value, and analysts warn the decline is likely to continue. Once more, the drop in chinese shares dragged down markets across the asia pacific region. The main reason, a fear that the slowdown in chinas economy is worse than the government is letting on.

South korea closed down by more than 2 , its sixth consecutive loss. Australia suffered its biggest one day fall in four years, down by more than 4 . What all these markets desperately need but dont have is investor confidence. Adrien brown, al jazeera, beijing. A chief economist from london explains wipe the slide in chinese stocks is impacting the rest of the word markets. I think you have to look back at the way cline in a has i understand graded into the word economy in the last seven years. The u. K. , weve seen over the last 10 years, exports increase, germans exports to china up, even japan up fist over the same period. Weve integrated with china more recently, its more the west that has benefited from that versus australia. The way economies in the west of geared towards china does put them in a more vulnerable position than with the case even five or seven ears ago. It can get quite a bit worse if china continues to fall and we dont see corrective measures from the government. The chinese stock market is not like anywhere else in the world. Its more like a casino. A lot of the Companies State control to varying degrees. Theres a lot of retail participation versus predominant participation in the u. S. Its much harder to sort of then offer that on the down side, as many investors have been underwater. Antigovernment protestors in lebanon have called off their rally planned for monday.

They said that they were postponing todays protest as a result of the violence, particularly yesterdays, which peeked late in the evening. However, they are yet to announce exactly what theyre next steps will be. Were expecting a press conference from them in roughly about an hours time. Im going to step aside and allow the camera to pan now to show you were outside the Prime Ministers Office where a concrete wall has been erected by Security Forces. There are very small group of people here who have gathered. There are antigovernment slogans on placards complaining about the governments actions forwards protestors. Why does the government need a concrete wall to protect it. The wall is still being erected as we speak. Whether thats going to be enough to prevent future violence is not quite sure. I want to make a point her
