This online news article has been posted on the Guardian. This article is about the European borders are no longer going to be stopping refugees from entering Europe via Austria. The article mentions a few times on how the Refugees have been affected previously, such as a fence was built on Serbia, and military set on Croatia's border to stop refugees. The article also mentions how the Refugees are in danger of drowning by traveling via ocean in the autumn, and that Refugees have already died from this when only "22 of 46 passengers were rescued" from an inflatable Refugee boat. The article trying to show you how the Refugees are badly affected, and that governments are the cause of this affect, is possibly in line that the Guardian is a left wing broadsheet newspaper, meaning it typically supports the people who are lower down in society, and will sympathize with people who would not be in a position of power. Conversely, the article suggests something about the Turkish government from a quote by a single Refugee who says they are being threatened to be deported back to the war zone, and also says that the Turkish Government deny this. This may make the Turkish Government look not only cruel, but also potentially liars, depending on how it's viewed. This again sympathizes with the more everyday people who are not in a powerful position depending on how it is looked.

The Article was written by the Egyptian correspondent of the Guardian, named Patrick Kingsley. This makes the Article look good as he's supposedly from Egypt, it gives him a more neutral position, making this article seem more trust worthy in what it is saying. Within the article it also says how he writes this article in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, this suggests that Kingsley had a more personal and detailed account on some of the facts and events.
