Venezuela brings down the hammer on undocumented immigrants. Artificial intelligence . The president pays a premium for getting unvarnished intelligence from the community. The art of love. Its time for afghanistan and for the world, to contribute Something Else to the war. Painting with a broad brush to heal a nation. Good evening im antonio mora, this is Al Jazeera America. We begin in europe, where a Desperate Campaign is underway to stem the number of refugees. Southern European Countries including greece italy and macedonia who are bearing the brunt of the immigrant crisis and people are dying. Today rescue ships discovered at least 55 bodies on overcrowded migrant boats on the mediterranean. Hungarian police are manning the border. Andrew simmons is at that border with the latest. Unrest at the European Union border. U. N. Help theyre chanting. It was shortlived but with record numbers now crossing into hungary and the buildup of Security Forces there are fears of violence here. Police are trying to play down the crisis. Translator what happened was that there was a small conflict that erupted and several people tried to approach fence. Then the police tried ostop them and they used tear gas but there wasnt any injuries. A large fence are is put up on the border, but some are getting through where theres only razor wire. Hungarys right wing government is taking a tougher line. 2,000 police are sent to the border to reinforce it. And next week the government will vote on whether to deploy the army here. 3,000 people a day are boarding buses bound for hungarian border. Refugees say theye they are tred better in serbia than in greece or macedonia. Some of the last transit points before the eu border, this woman fled from tremendous violence in aleppo but she is holding off, because she is worried. Were worried about hungary, not in turkey, grease, macedonia, but in hungary, why do that . I cant understand. As politicians prepare for a west balkan summit to discuss the worst refugee crisis since world war ii. Andrew simmons on the hungary serbia border. Angela merkel will meet with other eu leaders to discuss the refugee crisis. Today she called on germany to take a stance against intolerance of immigrants. She visited a refugee center, and this weekend a mob hurt bombs and tear gas. Treatment with humanity and the dignity of every Single Person who comes to us is part of our basic understanding. This is what symbolizes germany. What happened here is shameful and disgusting. Thats what the mayor and the Prime Minister as everybody else i met here today made clear. Together we will show that germany helps where help is needed and help is whats needed in reality now. Germfully expects the number of refugees going to germany this year could reach 800,000. Joining us to talk about the refugee crisis in eump i europes michel godan. More than 50 people action fiction yaitdedpeople actionfic. We have to save lives. We have to strengthen efforts of search and rescue and we have to make sure that the countries where these people arrive are supported financially to set up reception facilities that allow them to be received in a more dignified manner than what we have seen in all the shots of people sleeping on the beaches and in the country side et cetera. So thats the immediate challenge. And we would like to see a much more generous response from europe in general to the to italy and to greece. I want to talk about that in a moment. But we just saw the desperation of refugees trying to get from serbia into hungary which would get them into the eu. Even if hungary secures its border wouldnt refugees just go to neighboring croatia or serbia . Absolutely. This is a defensive response which first shows very little care for the needs of people but also will not stem the movement. People come for reasons that are important and they will find ways to bypass these mechanisms of convention. What i do think contention. If there were a response by european, to Show Solutions for the immediate crisis those countries that are responding defensively would perhaps find it a little bit easier to offer a more correct treatment for people who cross the borders or trying to cross the borders. Right now, three countries are accepting almost all the countries, germany is taking far more than any other country, an estimated 800,000, four times what it received last year. But youre getting an aggressive response, german chancellor Angela Merkel wasyearold was. When you have got countries like france and england whose antiimmigrant sentiment is really growing . I think that you need extremely strong leadership and mrs. Merkel has shown that. I would hope that other european leaders would have the courage to confront Public Opinion when that Public Opinion is negative. And good leaders can transform Public Opinion. The eu is built on principles of human rights and of burdensharing and it is in the times of crisis that you demonstrate these qualities. And the European Union is tested right now. And it should respond better, in accordance with its values. The main cause of this is the Syrian Civil War but is the exodus towards toourp motivate e motivateby, over 1 in 12 are reputedly Syrian Refugees, are those just going to continue . Refugees are mostly dispersed in towns, they are not in camps. They do fight to find jobs when they can. They want to Access Health services. They want their kids going to school. These countries need development support, not humanitarian aid but development support. So they can give refugees who are on their territory, some hope that in the coming years their life will be dignified. It is good to have your insights on this crisis, thank you. As weve just mentioned syrias neighbors have been dealing with the rchg crisis fos for year. More than 9 million syrians live where 1. 9 million live. Iraq has 201,000 and there are currently 132,000 in egypt. The flow of refugees is partly because of a flow of water. Water shortages could cost arab countries between 300 and 400 billion. Al jazeera traveled to jordan to see what is happening. He used to take his steady supply of water for granted up until three years ago. Many refugees from neighboring syria has settled in his home town and now everyone has to share what little water resource they have. The Water Authority impose a water schedule. His rooftop tanks are almost empty. We are living in a constant state of action it a and insomnia. We now have to worry about whether water will come out of our taps. When taps run dry, people purchase water from tanker trucks. The population has risen from 60,000 to 180,000. Towns and cities as opposed to camps. The refugee crisis has also put pressure on facilities that provide water which were built decades ago to serve fewer people. Officials say jordan has to receive aid promised 50 International Community for hosting the refugees. Translator jordans Water Resources are enough for 4 million people. Now, the size of the population has reached around 10 million. This is how acute our water shortage. Our water basin levels have dropped and we are forced to dig into our wells and drain them. Theres still a huge need. Jordan is not able to provide enough water to all its citizens let alone to hundreds of thousands of refugees. Although this station has increased amount of water its pumping by almost 50 , more jordanians are facing more severe water shortages than they did before the refugees arrived. Thats causing fruz traition a. We demand syrian living in mafrack, we never complairched about water or piled up rubbish before. Reporter many people say its only a matter of time before the main source he of water run out. This is why they say long Term Investments are needed to preserve the health and security of one of the most stable countries in the region. Al jazeera, el mafrack. Kurdish Officials SayPeshmerga Forces have killed 25 i. S. I. L. Fighters and killed nine areas near the stiff cuc. City of kirkuk. Pentagons Inspector General is reportedly investigating a claim that intelligence is being skewed to make it appear that things are actually better than they are. Jamie mcintire has more from washington. Antonio, intelligence by its very nature is ambiguous and inconclusive. Now pen pentagons inspector gel is looking into whether some intelligence information was colored so the president s group was told what it wants to hear. The question is when president obama makes upbeat statements like this is he working off the best intelligence . The New York Times reports an internal inquiry is weighing whether the intelligence presented the president was was distorted. Whether the u. S. Central command has been improperly reworking the conclusions of intelligence assessments to provide a more optimistic account of progress. It was flawed intelligence about the existence of weapons of mass destruction that was used to support the u. S. Invasion of iraq in 2003. No such weapons were ever found. During the vietnam war u. S. Military commanders often discounted pessimistic intelligence assessments arguing for the escalation of military force. More recently u. S. Central command briefers have provided optimism assessments of battling i. S. I. L. Which have been quickly proven wrong. A centcom briefer, said the defense against i. S. I. L. Could come in april or may of this year. It now appears a year away or less. The situation in ramadi during the a pentagon teleconference. We truly believe daesh is on the offensive throughout iraq and syria. Occasional complex or high profile attacks in order to feed their propaganda apparatus. Daesh was not on the defensive it turned out in fact at that very moment, ramadi was falling. Iraqi forces holding the city were being routed. Pentagon says intelligence is never perfect and policy makers take that into account as they try to stay clear eyed about the progress in the war. Im confident we will defeat i. S. I. L. It is hard work. Its difficult work. I think we have the right strategy. In arguing i. S. I. L. Is losing, the pent got is quick to document the number of air strikes or the area that i. S. I. L. Is losing. But theres debate about what it all means. One recent u. S. Intelligence assessment concluded that after a year of bombing, i. S. I. L. Was no weaker and the war was basically a stalemate. U. S. Central command says it welcomes the oversight of the pent gone Inspector General and notes that intelligence analysis is a collaborative process that relies on multiple sources. The guard against the possibility that any one opinion or one report will unduly influence decision makers. Antonio. Jamie mcintire, in washington. I. S. I. L. Was on the minds of russias president Vladimir Putin and egyptian president abdel fatah alsisi. The two met in moscow for the second time in three months. The kremlin hopes to have more influence in egypt. Rory challands has more. Reporter according to Vladimir Putin, russia and egypt have agreed on what they call a broad intelligence front, in the region including syria to fight i. S. I. L. Thats an Interesting Development because the saudis have said specifically there can be no future for president assad in syria. And the saudis hold the Purse Strings in a large extent for egypt at the moment. They are giving egypt a lot of financial aid. So if the saudis dont like the sound of this then theres a specific Pressure Point that they have to change egypts mind. Well have to seize what happens on that. And there was talk of the gift of a warship which was donated to egypt by russia, egypt said thank you very, very much for that. Al jazeeras Rory Challands in moscow.

To impose sanctions on his government. Salva kiir says he has questions whether the deal will bring about lasting peace. The fighting has not stopped and kiir is concerned there is no end in sight. There is no fighting today. And that fighting was uncalled for. Fighting in the field. What do they watt want to want r what do they want to show us . The message is very clear. That what we are doing here is not accepted by the other side. The peace deal binds kiir into a power sharing agreement with machar his former deputy turned rival. Machars dismissal as Vice President in july of 2013, sparked the political crisis that turned into the ongoing rebellion. The u. S. Praised president kiirs agreement to sign the agreement. She said quote we must help south sudan implement the agreement to stave on famine and stand steadfast and united against those who block the path to peace and to hold accountable those who have committed atrocities. She went on to say the u. S. Stands in solidarity with the people of south sudan. The u. S. Played a key role in creating the country. In 2005, u. S. Diplomats hemmed, and south sudan voted to secede. In our in context segment, anna cavell filed this report. When the fighting started in 2013, people fled to the safety of u. N. Bases in several towns. Now 20 months later more than 200,000 people are still living under the protection of the u. N. What began as a sight, the violence didnt stop in the capital. It spread from town to town destroying neighborhoods and leaving tens of thousands of dead in its wake. The conflict soon took an ethnic dimension when the tribe pitted against the dinka the tribe of the president. Every area pitted by conflict has a story to tell. Fighting came to her village and she was forced to run. Translator sometimes, my heart tells me hes alive. But sometimes, i get depressed and think negative thoughts but a lot of people told me other people have faced a worse fate than you so i stopped thinking bit and left it up to god. Reporter when the conflict began the army split into two factions with the former Vice President riek machar announcing he was in command of the rebels. For last 20 months war in south sudan has dragged on with towns change hands constantly between government and rebel forces. Even those who said they didnt support either side werent spared the violence and attacked in the streets. They cut me with a type of machete. I fell down. I didnt even know what was happening. After two or three hours i found myself in hospital. Reporter the United Nations has been demanding both sides come to a peaceful resolution and last week, machar signed an agreement in addis ababa and the pressure has been on doir do th kiir to do the sa. Theyve made it very clear that this peace deal means nothing. Unfortunately for the people of south sudan that could mean this war is not over. Anna cavell, al jazeera, south sudan. Machar says hes optimistic that this deal will bring peace to south sudan. South sudan deserve peace. The people themselves they deserve peace. And there were reasons for war. I believe this Peace Agreement has addressed these reasons. If you take it chapter by chapter, the system of governance is addressed, we hope will move to a federal system. There shall also be reforms and there shall be reconstituting the army, the security. Police. And also, the this impunity which has gone on for long. I think has been addressed. And we home nobody again creates war in seundz. South sudan. Five months and counting. The war in yemen shows no sign of ending and peace appears to be off the table.
