[00:00.16]Hundreds of foreign migrants entered the European Union Wednesday [00:04.52]through the cornfields of Croatia. [00:07.00]The migrants were welcomed in Croatia after Hungary blocked its border with Serbia. [00:12.91]Some Hungarian police used tear gas [00:16.52]and fired water cannon at some people still trying to enter the country. [00:21.80]United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon [00:25.48]denounced Hungary's treatment of the migrants. [00:28.88]"I was shocked to see how these refugees and migrants were treated," [00:33.36]he said. "It is not acceptable." [00:36.36]In Berlin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel [00:39.64]called for a special conference to discuss the migrant crisis. [00:44.24]She also called for European nations to work together. [00:49.12]More than 430,000 non-Europeans have entered the continent this year, [00:55.17]and nearly 3,000 have died trying. [00:59.48]The United States said Wednesday [01:02.04]it is considering an offer from Russia [01:04.26]to hold military-to-military talks about the Syrian conflict. [01:09.52]Secretary of State John Kerry spoke about the offer [01:13.00]a day after talking with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. [01:18.12]He added that the U.S. is considering the talks [01:21.52]because it does not have a clear understanding [01:24.20]of why Russia has increased its military presence in Syria. [01:29.62]Recently, U.S. officials warned Russia that its support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad [01:36.46]threatens to make the conflict worse. [01:40.00]A Yemeni government spokesman says Yemen's cabinet has returned to the country. [01:45.56]The cabinet ministers chose to live in exile [01:48.64]in Saudi Arabia for several months because of fighting with Shi'ite Houthi rebels. [01:54.92]The conflict began one year ago. [01:57.76]Supported by Iran, the rebels surrounded President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi [02:03.72]in the city of Aden earlier this year. [02:07.24]He was also forced to flee to Saudi Arabia. [02:10.92]There was no sign that he was planning to return. [02:14.80]Soldiers with Burkina Faso's presidential guard [02:18.08]detained the country's acting prime minister and president on Wednesday. [02:23.40]The presidential guard were said to be holding the two officials as hostages. [02:28.80]Military spokesmen tell VOA's French-to-Africa Service [02:33.16]that soldiers forced their way into a cabinet meeting. [02:37.28]The soldiers then arrested President Michel Kafando, [02:40.88]Prime Minister Yacouba Isaac Zida [02:43.32]and other government ministers. [02:46.04]At this time, the soldiers have not yet made any demands. [02:51.96]The International Olympic Committee [02:54.48]has announced five finalists under consideration [02:58.05]to hold the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. [03:02.60]Four of the cities are in Europe. [03:04.96]They are Budapest, Hamburg, Paris and Rome. [03:09.96]The fifth candidate is the U.S. city of Los Angeles, California. [03:15.64]IOC President Thomas Bach called the candidates "outstanding cities." [03:21.48]This is the first Olympics planned under reforms that should reduce the cost of the event. [03:28.40]Mr. Bach says the International Olympic Committee [03:32.32]will donate $1.7 billion to the event. [03:36.76]Final decision for which city will host [03:39.92]will be made in 2017.
