Reporter it might not seem like it but in little places in southern hungary the european vision of unity in dealing with the refugee crisis looks like a nightmare come true and you can see the village from the military land, the government has been investigating whether to set up a semi permanent camp here for a thousand refugees but it is basically a bog and even providing water would cost a fortune.

The logic of the quota plan means refugees already vulnerable placed in cities like slovakia where the far right is strong and easily subject to attack. This resent demonstration featured signs saying hang the refugees. We asked the mayor what his opinion is of the eu and he said he would show us and promptly took down the eu flag from the village hall and stuck it in the cupboard and it could help the far right and hungarys relationship with russia, al jazeera in southern hungary.

Translator to find their family members is not an easy task since we have no idea who these people were, we have to access to the rohinja in myanmar. Reporter the graves discovered in thick jungle, more found across the border in malaysia and seems they fell victim to trackiccers who may have held them for ran some and she has survived a similar journey and born in myanmar and left by boat three years ago hoping for a better life away from the camps and he and more than 100,000 rohinja were forced into and he was bought and sold by fishermen and rubber forms and two years of forced labor with no pay.
