K. France and scandinavian countries all telescoped flights have now been grounded 20000 jobs are at risk the u. K. Civil Aviation Authority says its starting the mammoth task of getting 150000 travelers back home and delays are inevitable its not going to be any flights are going to be going to be stuck there the airport to 7 oclock i think element to fly at 10 oclock am it will stop the 79 men they mistrust. Not will want to really hold on hold on to what can you do. Other people have lost their jobs. Im very anxious. Because i have sort laid so i dont know how if im putting on a clean and then happening in glasgow all the teachers to birmingham are some wheels. And so its going to be difficult. And i wont be going to tell you. Well telescope cas apologize for not being able to save the company from going bankrupt 1st i want to apologize to my 21000 colleagues who i know will be heartbroken. You all fall so hard to make thomas koch a success. Secondly i would like to say sorry to all our customers those who are on holiday visit us now and those who have poked with us in the coming months. My colleagues will be working with the c. A. A. To have this repatriation finally i would like to apologize to the many thousands of years and supply years who have stuck by our business in good times and in bad until now faced difficult financial choices of their own. To correspondents on the star who got down in kane in berlin we got rory challenge in london who we will start with so a fairly contrite c oh the rory what went wrong. Well thats what a u. K. Governments investigation is being set up to find out it will be looking specifically at the behavior of thomas cook executives that man that we just heard from there Peter Funkhouser the c. E. O. He will be in the spotlight to deeds these people do enough to save the oldest and one of the Biggest Travel Companies in the world now the u. K. s transport minister grant shapps says that he thinks that it was the shift in the Tourism Industry from booking holidays in shops booking online the has had an impact thomas cook has been saying for months as its been putting out these profit warnings that the bronx is an uncertainty of a brac said was stopping people to take me in the u. K. From booking holidays abroad but regardless of what was the reason behind this the bigger thing now is getting people back home who are overseas the way is launching its biggest peacetime Repatriation Mission when monica airlines went bust in 2017 that cost about 50000000 pounds this is going to cost 100000000 the government things to bring people home there are 150000 brits broads that need to be repatriated many more thousands of foreign nationals who are going to be brought back to their countries as well this is a huge operation. It is also going to send reverberations around the global Tourism Industry as we heard from thomas cook c. E. O. Just then there are hotel years in countries like. Turkey greece except who are going to have big holes in their Balance Sheets at the end of this year because of money that they would have been owed by thomas cook and how many more smaller less. While known Companies Small businesses Family Companies that sort of thing are going to go under because of this we dont know yet or i draw a thanks for that rory chalons live in london lets go to dominic now in berlin and dominic we understand now that theres at least 140000 germans affected by this. Well perhaps martin many more than that the latest suggestion from the airline that operates many of the flights under the thomas cook umbrella here in germany call cond all it says perhaps 240000 people are currently on holiday that have been flown by condor to destinations under the auspices of conduit which obviously is part of the Umbrella Organization of thomas cook but the important thing to stress from the german side of things is that convoy is still operating its flights the interesting thing is this morning whats in a an emergency bridging loan request to the German Government is for the federal government to decide whether it wants to authorize a bridging loan that effectively would allow the north to carry on operating its flight churchills it said it will not take any more thomas cook customers and indeed that decision is being taken by other shops as we were hearing in the introduction there and also the rory was referring to the sort of shops that used to set will sell travel packages will many shops and different types of agencies operating under the umbrella of thomas cook say theyre not sending any more packages and indeed any packages that was sold that would involve flying today or tomorrow will not be honored but the top line to take from this is that from the german side of things the passengers who have flown all they do know right now that the airline that flew them on holiday is still operating and provided it gets this bridging loan it will still be able to fly them back at all vs the further into the future what sort of effect this might have on the german industry we wait to see all right thanks for that dominic cain there live in their live. The u. N. Is warning World Leaders attending its Climate Change summit in new york today thats monday that the effects of Global Warming are speeding up the World MeteorologicalOrganization Says the average global temperature for 2015 to 2019 is now looking likely to be the hottest of any 5 year period on record and thats because Carbon Emissions of hit new highs the amount of Greenhouse Gases going into the atmosphere in this period of time increased by 20 percent compared with the previous 5 years sea levels theyve risen by 5 millimeters a year and thats because of the increased rate of ocean warming in the melting of the greenland and the west antarctica ice sheets is our diplomatic editor james bays. Its the biggest diplomatic gathering in the world with delegations from all the countries that are members of the United Nations in 2 and a half years heading the u. N. Secretary general antonio good terrorists has made great efforts to resolve the worlds most deadly conflicts but with little progress in an interview for aljazeera is planet s. O. S. He told me he wants the focus of this years high level week on an issue he says is even more important climate the sets of each of these conflicts is to a certain extent localized and Climate Change became a global so that for humankind and the global set for the planet and scenes that evolving in such a way that Climate Change became an excellent its out of conflict with tension growing between the u. S. Saudi arabia and iran the situation in the gulf will be high on the agenda and one of the uns most experienced diplomats told me with so many key players in the same place at the same time there could be important developments and things can move very fast and it would be foolish to rule something out on grounds of ideology when its he said youve got all these World Leaders and Foreign Ministers together it does mean that we actions can be very swift and initiatives can be taken privately without having to have the full perplexity of a leader fly in or go somewhere every year the General Assembly week gets busier and busier today the count is 90 once heads of state 6 Vice President s 45 heads of government 5 deputy prime ministers the number of meetings requested has now climbed to 630. 00 this part of the u. N. The visitors lobby is normally open to the public bridging the high level week its one of the most secure places on earth all around the u. N. Temporary rooms are being set up these are what are known as bilateral booth so you can see the leather chairs the table theres room here for 2 or more delegations to meet a short notice if necessary. In some privacy. Organizing this event is a mammoth operation insiders have told me just getting the motorcades of president s prime ministers and Foreign Ministers here so they can speak back to back on the podium is an operation akin to Traffic Control jamesburg out of the United Nations and in an historic move the uns announced the ball will become the 1st african nation to receive International Funds to preserve its forests norway and gamble signed the accord on sunday under the deal the Central African nation will receive a maximum of 150000000. 00 over a 10 year period in order to fight the forestation the governments foreigns forestry minister says the rain forest is critical to protecting biodiversity and containing Carbon Emissions lets speak now to solution idea hes a researcher for the institute of Global Dialogue thats a South African think tank and hes joining us from cape town what do you think of this deal is this a model that could be rolled out involving other countries. Good afternoon no im not it it definitely does seem like an important framework that other of them in countries who face similar challenges with regard to the rain forest and im thinking about the d r c democratic republic of congo where they could have a 10 year period in which they can start to preserve adapt and try and ensure that not only are the rain forest protected but the Carbon Emissions are reduced but also try to deal with the challenges particularly in the west african region where it seems to be much more cute when it comes to how Climate Change accelerates the impact around development and also in terms of the increase in temperature as well as disappear cation right but the thing is sin asia what 10. 00 paid per tonne of carbon that is not emitted its a maximum power of 150000000. 00 over a period of 10 years is that enough. I dont think theres ever going to be a number or even any kind of amount that can be able to be determined as enoughs in order to mitigate the risks of what is happening in the region but it think what is important is how government actually uses that money in a more pragmatic way adaptable way in terms of preserving the rain forest and i think one of the challenges for most african countries is trying to balance out the Development Agenda the resources that they have and how those resources are used and the kinds of challenges and structural damage it does to the environment that we sit in a in a continent where theres very acute Development Challenges around poverty inequality questions of livelihood material circumstances where people are fighting for survival and i think this is becoming a serious dilemma not just in the context of god barn or other countries where we see these inequities play itself out but rather in terms of preserving the environment people become desperate and so suddenly the environment is not just about him and thats a great scrum human desperation but also in terms of the acceleration that we see with Climate Change and the accelerated conflicts that they can bring so for me i think the money is a good starting point however i think the challenge would be how much of that money gets really used and re adapted to the kinds of policies you want to see that would be able to address those mitigating issues around in the inequalities and human survival yes of course because i mean by and large african countries as as with many other developing countries i mean they complain that theyve been put on exactly the same power as those industrial countries or the doing most of the polluting and theyre saying that actually what they need is a substantial sum to come from the polices industrial countries in order for them to a debt at tasia and methods and techniques are going to have to be invested upon it. Too and that fund these to be a Multilateral Fund that all of the police is need to pay into not on this bilateral level that were seeing that we know when theyre born because thats simply not enough. Absolutely i think the challenge here is how do we integrate a more Multilateral Fund now obviously you know norway has not been one of those countries that has a historical colonial relationship with the bar and so it raises a different dynamic in that context as well in terms of what kind of repatriation of funds and the kinds of funds that need to be included in this Multilateral Fund on climate issues that compensate and even address the issues with countries in africa now obviously for me the challenge is not only a volved whether there should be a global contact whether we look at. The Sustainable Development goals 17 which talks about a deepening Global Partnership around development but rather its also about internal governance questions and responsibility as well within the kinds of policies that are used and adapted at the domestic level so you know for example if you think about the sea and you think about trying to pursue a hydroelectric dam which is going to cause serious environmental challenges and degradation in the region it needs to be looked at in a much more systematic way how this actually has the kinds of adaptation strategies but we simply have very precarious situation in africa with human desperation human survival People Living on the margins of of exclusion may but you know circumstances are compromised and how does this then dovetail with the kind of adaptation that needs to be done so i think were sitting on a pot of keg as the secretary general of the un had mentioned in the insert its an accelerated conflict which knows no boundaries but its also the fact that we cant ignore it because of the systematic and Systemic Risk it poses solution i do thank you very much indeed for talking to us live from cape town. Were going to kenya now were going to the kenyan capital nairobi because 7 children have been killed after this School Collapse at least 64 of the students are in hospital family members are outside the school as rescue workers the children who may be trapped under the rubble live now Catherine Sawyer correspondent who joins us on the line what happened catherine well martin let me just 9 start by 1st saying that the Education Minister was here just about 45 minutes ago and basically he said that a government has started investigations in what could have happened he said he doesnt want to speculate but he also say from the onset that he believes that effect particular building was not 2 stories and he says that he doesnt believe that the 2nd story was approved so he says that building was not 2 story that perhaps we would not have lost the children the way we did so what happened is that this 2 story construction collapsed just observe classes started. For g. M. And it was 5 it was constructed this school suction was made of. Iron sheets and separated by a concrete slab which according to people weve talked to say who told us that this concrete 5 was very thinly very poorly rainfall so a lot of people left saying that the quality of that building was not good you mentioned the 64 children who are hospital weve also heard from doctors were saying that most of them are in Good Condition theyre being treated for minor injuries to them are in Critical Condition that we did see 9 parents here over some of the children who died and the pain martin is just unimaginable can imagine thank you very much indeed for now Catherine Sawyer live from nairobi. And just a couple of moments well have the weather with rob also coming up on this. Flooding wipes out farmland in nigeria raising questions about National Food supply and why this was a brilliant go in Major League Soccer raffle has the. Better the monsoon ever and is in retreat but in that retreat its also producing some pretty heavy rain at the conference of the ganges name una so a lot about this is not a british you have got overflowed banks and fairly typical front to give us he said now that is the picture in the last 24 hours or so of the showers coming and going pulsing but it doesnt look that widespread for cost wise yes its fair amount of rain anywhere through central india up to the northeast in particular and away far south to sri lanka but ive been stunned gives of the you may have noticed it might be of more interest to a few at least in the arabian sea when the monsoon retreats or when it comes and you can generate a revolving storm and we have just generated on this one code hca has got winds up to 100 Kilometers Per Hour so its not particularly strong and its waves generated but 2 and a half maybe up to 4 beaches in the next 12 to 24 hours or so with a range of potential up to about 150. 00 millimeters so its its course towards him ali coast is probably quite critical well maziar is peace the price might think immediately online i think youll go to the say so maziar the olive might stay dry was Gale Force Winds on tuesday not a star improvement on wednesday however for the armani mainland later on tuesday and any wednesday there will probably be a landfall. Whether sponsored by qatar it was. Just 0 will meets 2 arab women with roots in the middle east who both build successful lawyers aboard over the last 5 years ive achieved a great deal of partnership with the countrys leading pharmacy the never forgot where they came from. We tried to put forward a different place than the stereotypical image of muslim women robes aboard the businesswoman of the council on aljazeera. The big stories generate fountains of headlines it seems that much the media is still struggling with how to deal with it with different angles from different perspectives and you hold a lawyer to it can separate the spin from the facts of. The misinformation from journalism how careful must you choose your words but some tough stuff has to be said for some critics have to be made listening post on out just 0. 5 times a 2nd to the top stories here on the news hour at least 40 civilians have been killed in afghanistan and once the 2 have been an airstrike the attack happened in the Southern District of helmand there are reports that a Wedding Party has had. Hundreds of thousands of been stranded by the collapse of the worlds oldest travel Company Truck thomas cook 600000 people are currently on holiday worldwide with the company the u. K. Civil Aviation Authority there it says its beginning a mammoth task of getting british travelers back. 7 children have been killed in kenya in the capital nairobi after their School Collapse at least 64 of the children are in hospital rescue workers are going through the rubble to search for children who may be trapped in. The interior ministers from 4 European Countries are trying to agree on a common approach to handling refugees and migrants coming from north africa and the middle east they are missing in malta which along with italy says that its having to shoulder too much of the burden both of these countries have turned away. Vessels representatives remove her from it to the germany of france theyre being joined by the e. U. Presidency holder finland as well as the e. U. Commission for migration we go live now to fort hood in our correspondent there is. A means to come up with a common policy is that right. Thats correct martine its essentially stemming from talks that the maltese and italian representatives had back in july when they were wanting to see some kind of urgent change in how this is being done they say it needs to be reformed because currently its being done on a case by case basis and that leaves countries such as italy and malta shouldering the burden of not only receiving Asylum Seekers but also processing them as well now they are going to be working with the french and German Governments who each of them have said that they would agree to take in each 25 percent of all arrivals of Asylum Seekers into their countries with italy initially agreeing to about 10 percent because theyve said theyve taken tens of thousands already so while it is the issue that is being debated right now there are also of course other issues how to persuade other e. U. Member states in order to take in their own share of the quotas and of course there are issues with for example countries such as hungary and poland where there is a strong anti immigration policy by the governments theyve refused to take in their quotas so its going to be quite interesting to see exactly how theyre going to persuade them to do otherwise and in the meanwhile you have in the middle of this hundreds of Asylum Seekers who having been refused by governments to land in certain places have been stranded at sea for days or even weeks. After drifting through the mediterranean for days these men women and children have finally arrived in malta they are part of a larger group of 265 people who were rescued from 3 separate boats in distress only 36 of them were allowed to dock on the island the others still remain at sea on a rescue vessel waiting for their put any to come to an end this is the reality for those who set off from libya in the hope of seeking refuge in europe. Little guarantee that they will survive the journey let alone gain asylum there is the issue a search and rescue vessels where weve seen increased criminalised stopping and holding vessels out of state denying access to. This obviously has a negative effect on the Asylum Seekers that are on the vessels malta and italy are on the front line of europes migration crisis and they share the same complaint they say they have not received adequate support from the European Union to deal with the number of people who have the years been arriving on their shores the conditions that cause them to flee war poverty and hunger remain largely unaddressed and there is little sign that conditions will improve and in a seemingly never ending saga of human misery it is the people Smuggling Networks that are profited charging Vulnerable People fountains of dollars for a Dangerous Passage to europe meanwhile european governments wary of their own immigration movements are reluctant to be seen her aging Asylum Seekers and so the di lemma continues the e. U. Has given millions of dollars to libyas tripoli based government to intercept vessels leaving the coast but with little effect. With more than 50000 people arriving in europe by boat so far this year the maltese also say that there needs to be a different approach to this humanitarian emergency in. Some Member States with regard to relocation of Asylum Seekers but of course being these agreements its. Sort of its a measure of. The Member States the dream of a better life most certainly encouraged many more to make the perilous journey and unless the people Smuggling Networks. Prey in them are seriously tackled they will continue to be left vulnerable. Meanwhile the ngos who have been at the forefront of these search and rescue missions are calling on the e. U. To just change what they have in place which is mainly to stop criminalizing their own vessels for doing that and also reforming the system and also to stop giving money to the libyan coast guards they say that that needs to be drastically changed in order for there to be more secure more safety for those who come looking for help after fleeing war and persecution martine thank you for that sonia. Live in malta now the World Health Organization the w. H. O. Says a 2nd vaccine will be introduced in the democratic republic of congo next month the announcement comes as Doctors Without Borders accuses the w. H. O. Of rationing the 1st vaccine in the d. L. C. More than 2100 people have died the age group is calling for an independent committee to look at how distribution is being managed the Food Shortages are threatened in north west nigeria where floods have destroyed crops dozens of people have been killed recently and thousands of homes have been washed away already reports now from go a state where the local government is struggling to help. This lush green rice paddy has provided a livelihood for generations of farmers but recently theyve watched helplessly as floods transformed their farm lines into new fishing grounds those who cannot cope are forced to leave. One where the only course trying to salvage what he can of his melodeon still go at least for the next meal the rest he says is lost. Well what i want my village is spared by decent footing disaster this is the 2nd city of year we are experiencing this ive already lost 10 farms with rice beans groundnuts and so good is lost is echoed in villages lining nigerias coast and River Valleys the areas that account for 80 percent of the countrys culture production nigerians have been want to expect more flooding nationwide raising fears of possible for shortages as crops are washed away the country was recently listed among 41 countries that require food aid partly because of their women conditions and because the government has banned food importation through its line borders many families may struggle to feed themselves. The governor of the state says the State Government is struggling to help over 100000 people 70000 have. Gone. And this is also similar figures but what is interesting this year for us is the new places that have not been traditionally on the floor did i what we call only do now is to support those people that have lost the towns to put them in the shelters and try to see how we can feed them but. After every day farmland that is a lot of the crops that we have lost. The houses that were lost we dont have that clearance to go to help people for many years the annual rainfall in this region is 800 millimeters but people have seen the level exceeding 1000 millimeters in the past few years. In the northern part we have so much of this flood during the rainy season our farmers cannot cultivate in the dry season were getting so much of dryness. From the southern part we also have so much of flood. The floods and drought are partly to blame for fighting between farmers and cattle herders hundreds have been killed in the region in the battle for land and water. But for fisherman these are good times. With village streets and roads becoming new fishing ground even temporarily there is a catch to be made comedy grease aljazeera are you nigeria.

He had a great country take a. Conversation i had with mark the congratulatory were largely corrupt and all of the corruption taking place with largely the fact that we dont want our people like Vice President biden down to be a big brother already here in the ukraine the unverified and vague accusation against joe biden was echoed by the secretary of state if there was a lection interference the took place by the Vice President i think the American People deserve to know
