Whether joe biden uses position as Vice President to help his son but president from business is done nothing wrong mike hanna reports from washington the president trying continue to downplay the reports describing his conversation with the ukrainian president in july as absolutely perfect. We had a great conversation. Conversation i had with a large congratulatory which large rock n roll of the corrupt big like large fact that we dont want our people like Vice President biden. 6 grow up already in the ukraine the unverified and vague accusation against joe biden was echoed by the secretary of state if there was a lection interference that took place by the Vice President i think the American People deserve to know we know there was interference in the 2016 election and if its the case that there was something going on with the president s family the cause the conflict of interest and Vice President biden behaved in a way that was inconsistent with the way leaders ought to operate i think the American People deserve to know that joe biden says it was the Obama Administration as a whole along with the e. U. That called for the firing of the then ukrainian prosecutor back in 2016 and the matter had nothing to do with his son and president trumps critics insist they will not be distracted from finding out why the White House Council will not allow the release to a Congressional Committee of the whistleblowers complaint this tweet from House Intelligence Committee chairman adam schiff. If theres nothing wrong with trumps call with the ukrainian president as he claims why wont you release the transcript he us if theres nothing to implicate trump in the whistleblower complaint why wont they release it to congress clearly they are afraid we must see both and even some republicans are expressing concern if the president asked or pressured ukraines president to investigate his political rival either directly or through his personal attorney tweets senator mitt romney it would be troubling in the extreme critical for the facts to come out the acting director of National Intelligence has been subpoenaed to appear before the House Intelligence Committee on thursday the question hes certain to be asked why you see refusing to allow congressional oversight of a whistle blowers complaint thats been described as credible and off an urgent nature mike hanna aljazeera washington but were going to go back to the issue of the only going migrant crisis that the world is having to deal with as youve already heard in this program weve been to malta where certain elements of the europeans are coming together to try to formulate a policy now we can speak to phillipe leclerc is the United Nations high commissioner for refugees representative in greece is joining us live from london thank you very much indeed for talking to us because greece of course is now experiencing a renewed surge of refugees and migrants washing up on to its various islands and its really struggling to cope isnt it. It is good morning and thank you for having me the last 2 months have been very difficult in terms of arrivals on the islands with many families Young Children arriving from turkey and who are afghans syrians mostly and the greek government has difficulties in making sure that they go through the procedure and how are transferred quickly to the mainland which means that many of them are staying in 5 camps which are overcrowded sometimes 7 times their capacity particularly on the island of some of those and less was right now why is it why is greece experiencing this renewed surge of refugees of migrants what theyre coming primarily from turkey what is it thats broken down thats led to this well basically its not comparable with 20152016 where 5000 people were arriving on the shores of the greek islands but around 400 persons a day arrived most of them indeed all of them from turkey this despite the interception still taking place by the by the Turkish Coast guard we see that there are many more attempts by syrians and afghans trying to join europe through greece the situation that the greek authorities have to face is that they do not have the capacity to write transfer of these people to the mainland yet but but isnt this a consequence in part at least of the breakdown of that agreement between turkey and the European Union the turks saying actually weve had enough the European Union havent paid the amount that they said they were going to pay and actually theyre turning a blind eye now to to the number of people that are coming and theyre allowing them if you like to go further on through the aegean to greece. Well for the time being we cannot really say that of course the situation between both for greece and turkey as well as the European Union and turkey is tense but we have not seen a reduction in the in the number of interceptions by the Turkish Coast guard we have actually seen an increase so we have seen more attempts to cross but no decrease in terms of interventions on the turkish side right and as youve already made mention of the kind of conditions in which so many of these thousands of people having to live in i mean the conditions in these kinds of inhumane some of the n. D. A. Is reporting with absolute horror of the conditions that these people are having to endure i mean its not fair is it really that greece is having to shoulder the responsibility for these people when of course they have their own economic difficulties to deal with anyway. Yes i was there just last week wolf in those wars and some of sand overcrowded camps 7 times the population again means that people or dont have sanitary conditions which are rides there is created it is creating a lot of tension among the communities which led to weeks ago to the killing of one afghan miner by another miner so it is extremely important that. The greek authorities have the possibility of managing rightly but more transferring as quickly as possible people to the mainland by increasing the capacity of course the greek authorities are receiving up to 2000000 euros by the European Commission but what is required right now particularly for the end of the children is that european states take themselves parts of them to their own countries and not only pay greece to deal with them right ok Felipe Leclerc thank you very much indeed for taking the time to talk to us here about it there thank you.

Hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers around the globe are stranded as the worlds oldest travel company goes out of business and gotbaum becomes the 1st african country to be paid to protect its forests in a landmark deal with no way. So we begin with breaking news from afghanistan where at least 40 people have been killed in whats believed to have been known as strike the attack happened in the southern Helmand Province many of the dead are reported to have been attending a wedding there speak to our correspondent in kabul rob mcbride rob whats the latest youre hearing about what happened. Thats right foly details have been reaching us here gradually over the past few hours we do know that this attack has happened in the most color district of Helmand Province this is a district that is known to be a stronghold of the taliban in helmand which is down in the south of the country now a statement from the countrys ministry of defense has confirmed that last night sunday they was a combined ground and air operation that seems to have also been an air strike in this area and they say that this was as far as the ministry of defense is concerned a Successful Operation there claiming that 22 fighters were killed mostly they say foreign fighters and also a further 14 taliban were said to have been seized and arrested also that a large cache of taliban weapons was also seized they are they do say also that they are investigating these claims seeming to accept that a number of civilians have been killed and this has also been confirmed by the Governors Office now this is where 3 the accounts tend to conflict with each other we are getting some reports from from this district that 14 civilians from a Wedding Party that happened to be very close to where this airstrike took took place were killed in this action other reports for especially from a provincial counselor in the area put the death toll amongst the civilians at this Wedding Party and Something Like 35 to 40 what we do know is that certainly a number of women and children and it seems also old people were amongst the victims of this attack so a very large casualty toll among civilians and will seem to be seeing rather a rise in the number of civilian casualties in afghanistan in the lead up to the president ial election in just a few days. There has been an increase we know in attacks in activity there was another strike at the end of last week in the province thats the province that borders with pakistan again the Coalition Says it was a strike this time against and i still highly doubt but we do know that a number of villagers who happened to be close by harvesting pine nuts were caught in this attack and dozens of people were also killed in that attack so we are seeing an increase in fighting we had expected this after this peace deal failed to materialize than the taliban said it was going to increase its attacks to try to disrupt the election we have seen an increase in taliban attacks and also we have also seen a reported increase in the Coalition Response to that which does include of course power the use of air power the use of airstrikes while the coalition would say that they are that well the past week or so there have been a number of attacks which from their point of view have been successful they have claimed the lives of what they call militants and fighters inevitably there will be an increase in civilians being caught up in these airstrikes and that does seem to be what we are seeing once again it is a controversial contentious issue here the Afghan Government successively over the years has complained about these airstrikes and the killing of civilians and certainly it is an election issue as we go through this final few days of electioneering in the run up to the poll on saturday foley thank you very much for that update rob mcbride live for us in kabul.

A few parents on and removed the pain really is an imagineer board so this incident happened just when classes 0 had started after. The m. P. That 7 am last hole and this structure was 2 storied constructed using i and ship and the 2 and the 2 stories was separated by a concrete slab people that we spoke to a saying that this concrete slab was very poorly reinforced with very clean well 5 they couldnt see some of these wires when im when im standing here so people saying that the core structure and was not well done the pull the building was poorly constructed and was bound to collapse we did hear from the minister of education was here earlier and he says that investigation has started but he also from the onset mentioned the safety all of this building he said that it appears that the 2nd story of this building was not approved and it was a put on the if it was strong if the building was just one story then the children the building would not have collapsed and children would not have died but you say the investigations are going on also had from doctors about the 64 children who are still in hospital doctors say that the children are doing and theyre doing ok theyre stable to have are still in Critical Condition thank you for that update catherine fois on the line from nairobi. Security and Municipal Services on the greek island of les pauls are holding an emergency meeting because of a sharp rise in migrants and refugees coming in both from turkey morea camp was built for 3000 people but its home 212008 camp is turning people away and aid workers say the conditions there are catastrophic meanwhile interior ministers from 4 European Countries are trying to agree on a common approach to handle refugees and migrants from north africa and the middle east they are meeting in malta which along with italy says its shouldering too much of the bear then both have turned away charity vessels we need represent its need germany and france are being joined by e. U. Presidency holder thin mint and the e. U. Commissioner for migration lets bring in our diplomatic editor james freys who joins us live from the United Nations where the u. N. General assembly is getting underway this weekend james i imagine the issue of refugees and migrants will be high on the agenda of discussions there. Yes because the 1st day of this summit has been designated Climate Summit by the sec general of the United Nations antonio terrace and in about 3 hours from now he will be opening this Climate Summit hes told World Leaders who are coming here he doesnt want their speeches he wants concrete action and its interesting that ive been speaking to a section last week he makes it clear that climate affects so many other things including conflict and including migration and refugees lets discuss this further with a high commissioner for refugees from the program day he joins me now explain the link for research you can i commissioner climate and migration does many links the climate convergence affects people in multiple ways you have natural disasters last year 7000000 people displaced in their own countries because of natural disasters but they. You have slower phenomenon like drought then floods like the slow rise of the seas and they all of course people to move and then lets not forget mass this placement is caused by many other factors of war poverty they all intersect and self it impacts the environment so the links are multiple complex and making our work even more challenging and thats why youve got to get the whole world together on the same page one of the problems of a summit like this is not everyone is going to be attending and we have a growing trend of nationalism and one of the things that seems to be a common factor among nationalist politicians is they dont really like migration and they certainly dont like refugees but also on the whole they dont believe in Climate Change how do you try and explain this to some of those that up much more skeptical i think that the reasons for this skepticism are people complicated we have to understand that we have to appreciate peoples i pray and chanson fias but one thing one message i hope will come out of this Climate Summit that when you deal with global phenomena be it Climate Change or migration human mobility like epidemics or poverty and war you have to be together nations have to Work Together because unknown they wont solve the problem they may solve it for a few months but in the long run if we want to address the global challenges of today it has to be through International Cooperation and when we look at your area dealing with refugees around the world you have a global problem tell me now as you look at the state of the world where most where is he just think of 3 places bangladesh where we still have 1000000 refugees from the minority in myanmar
