And the time pressure is on, hungary is building a razor wire fence on its border with serbia to prevent people from coming in. Andrew simmons has this report from the Macedonian Border. Reporter there is no end it seems to the suffering, the exhaustion. Its a different place, a railway platform. Waiting for another journey. At one point police and Border Patrol had been blocking it with force, now they are organizing transit for these people to pass through macedonia and then onto serbia. In the crush there is tension. A train has arrived. There is no way everyone can get on board. There doesnt seem to be any system on telling these people whether they have a right to board this train or not. Its hit and miss. People are pleading to soldiers to let them on board. They gain let people through in orderly lines, the anxiety turning in to smiles of relief. Some of the security fors here are helpful and considerate. But any resistence to their orders is seen as provocation. One officer was heard telling a refugees, if you dont like this, then you should go back to syria. And this man was saying that even though he had the right papers, he wasnt being allowed on the train. We are mean beings. Okay, its enough. Its enough. Its enough. Its enough. Its enough.

Reporter some people have gone to extraordinary length to his get this far, parting with their children on the border. So they would be allowed in. They would put their children underneath the razor wire so afterwards they would go and reunited family and extrack the family from there and let them come to the train station, this act of desperation should not be happening anywhere to anybody. Reporter at many more people head from greece to the border, the latest political moves like so many others, right across europe, have failed these people. Andrew simmons, al jazerra, in macedonia. Many of the refugees are trying to make their way to germany which is bracing for at least 800,000 Asylum Seekers this. Its a 1500kilometer journey from the current bottleneck in macedonia. People need to pass through the czech republic, slovakia and hungary which as we mentioned is building a razor wire fence along its border with serbia. The serbia border town is where many refugees arrive. We have this update. Reporter a group about 4,000 refugees arrived during the night by crossing over the border they formed several kilometers long line at the front of the reception center. The south of serbia is faced with a very difficult situation. These people came from macedonia where the police didnt allow them to cross the greekMacedonian Border until yesterday. The refugees enter in serbia without any problems. They are being hemmed, get water, but not food. From this place, the refugees are driven to where they receive asylum and organized transportation to belgrade by rail or the bus. After they are granted asylum they have the right to stay in berzee a for 72 hours, everyones ultimate destination is hungary. Among them ar are mostly syrian, both young and old. He said serbia is struggling to cope with a huge number of pima driving in the country. Its quite difficult in serbia now. There is a massive influx of people. Thousands of them coming every day. This is real difficult and it seems there is no any kin kind a system to respond to the needs of refugees coming to serbia in such numbers. Its quite difficult for the Prime Minister. He needs support, he wants a humana preach to the refugees in comparing with the mad down vinnies and greeks. But where the response . We will wait and see what will happen. Having in mind this lack of accommodation capacities and really difficulties in providing basic humanitarian support to refugees entering serbia. Thousands have arrived italian navy and coast guard responded to several s. O. S. Calls from overcrowded boats carrying refugees off the coast of libya on saturday. At least 22 operations and rescued 4,400 people. The italian navy was called on sunday to rescue more boats they are coming from africa to italy in dangerously overcrowded wooden boats or dingies. Its become the deadly effort crossing points with more than 2,300 people drowning while trying to reach europe by boat this year. Joining us now is the president of the turkish think tank the Research Center on illini lum and migration also all former spokesman from the United Nations commission on refugees. Thank you for being with us. That combined problem of pima driving by boats and these scenes that we have seen in macedonia. The Italian Foreign minister says the scenes we represented this weekend represents a threat of Free Movement across the block. There is a real crisis in europe on this the what do you think needs to happen now to resolve this . The chancellor recently mentioned European Unions currents problem is refugees and asylum problem. We are witnessing one of the deepest humanitarian crisis, syrian crisis, syrian humanitarian crisis is one of the main reasons, and people are moving to started to move from 2011 to the neighboring countries, including turkey, then the numbers who are far beyond the capacity of this country, to host them, then the desperate people are trying to move further west through mediterranean and balkans zone. Legally, what are countries actually required do . Its interesting a lot of the people that our correspondence speak to say they are heading for germany or sweden which is much farther north. In between there are country that his could take them in. What are they legally required to do . All countries, irrespective to whether they are the parties Towns National conventions, refugees conventions or not, are obliged to keep their borders open to Asylum Seekers. People fleeing from war or persecution. As most of these people that are from greece to macedonia is they are they seem obviously genuine refugees and the countries are obliged to receive them to process their asylum claims, to provide the basic needs food, shelter, whatever. Then process their asylum claims and host them to protect them and should not send them back. So this is the obligation of all nations, all countries, and this is the basic principles of international law. In terms of the e. U. s asylum policy, the vice chancellor has said it needs to be overhauled as a result of what we are seeing. There is too much pressure on the initial referring countries and the burden isnt shared out properly between the european countries. How likely are we to see that reform in the near future . Well, i think unfortunately this crisis the volume of this crisis threatens the basics of current modern asylum law and principles. So the basic one of these principle is burden sharing as you put it. Different countries have different cultures, different traditions, different policies of asylum. And they have different economies. So the burden sharing and International Cooperation is a must. Asylum is, by definition, a cross border, transnational eventsevent. So burden sharing is the main element to deal with this. But unfortunately, nowadays we dont see such a Cooperation Among european countries. For example, in turkey, you are now hosting about 2 Million People. Only 250, 60,000 of them are in the camps. The rest are in desperate situations in the big cities. The same things we witness in greek islands have been happening in turkish big cities. People are moving to the west so turkey, jordan, lebanon, these countries should be assisted more and burden sharing should be in different ways, resettlement of more refugees from these countries is one way. Okay. National a a assistance, Technical Assistance are the ways. Thank you very much for nba deed for your thoughts.
