Reporter but those words have been heard before and the fact is that little changes for these people apart from the speed of boarding trains like this one, away from people in the cities and towns of macedonia. And so is the political talking goes on in berlin, brussels and other european capitols the reality here is that after the violence on this border there is a primitive Reception Center in operation, refugees quickly moved on and undoubtedly lead to more coming on this route, moving the humanitarian crisis further up the line to another country.

And jonah is there from the port of perez outside of athens, what is happening there at the moment, jonah . Reporter yeah, around half of all refugee arrivals into the European Union come in through greece. Im standing at the key side of athens port and waiting for arrival of the passenger ferry in two hours of 2500 refugees being transported to athens from the island of lesbos and that and other islands on the front line of this massive wave of humanity into the European Union. This will be the fifth boat load in a week since shuttle trips were arranged and that is 12 hours crossing and 12,500 and others come here by passenger ferry on their own or biplane load at some 50,000 arrivals in july alone, august figures look set to be higher.

The eu pledged money to the greeks, hundreds of millions of dollars and has not been dispersed because they have not seen evidence of the proper Management Fund to guaranty these funds will be properly dispersed and no money coming into the greek government and the greek government doesnt have money and little assist ansz assistance given here receiving massive numbers of people. We will leave you there and waiting to tr boat of refugees to arrive. China cut Interest Rates again in a bid to boost the worlds second largest economy and the stock market in shanghai suffered losses on tuesday and a sign that investors are spooked by chinas faltering economy which has until recently been one of the pillars of Global Growth and we have more from beijing. Trading ports across asia pacific opened on tuesday and opened with baited breath for the traders wondering how the market would react considering chinas fall in the shanghai composite was so dramatic on monday. The markets were shaky and most making losses in the early part of trading and regained some of that ground as the day progressed and made up in some cases on those lost markets that were in profit were taiwan, australia and singapore but the shanghai composite perhaps the market and global eyes were focused on ended at 7. 63 down on the day. Hong kong was down by just under 1 . Tokyos market was down by 3. 96. The effects of what we have seen over the past 48 hours will not be felt immediately. We will be seeing those effects possibly in the next few days and weeks and also the reaction to these falls from the Chinese Government will be very important to see how they actually decide to deal with the failing stock market or even how to deal with the currency of how it is felt, whether it is a strong currency or a weak currency globally. All issues have to be debated and examined and i think the analysts will perhaps have their say which could influence the way that government policy proceeds over the next few weeks.

Markets in europe dropped off in china and risen in early trade and in london it was 3. 6 higher, frankfurt was up nearly 4. 7 , so was the one in paris.

However, many protesters felt that wall was a provocative move by the government and says the government of National Unity shouldnt have anything to fear from the people if it is indeed represented to every one.
