Summit on the environment talking to the General Assembly yes on tuesday but not being part of this particular summit would i be right. Youre absolutely right and thats certainly no coincidence he is due to leave brazil in just a little while he will be arriving after this is supposed to be all over in new york and he will only be staying until after he speaks on tuesday not very long at all but in the meantime and this is very significant rather than approach the United Nations and the world to try to show ways that brazil can contribute to reducing Greenhouse Gases what he has done is launch a new counter offensive a p. R. Campaign if you like called brazil by brazil which is meant to sort of give us a kind of version of what theyre doing here and is the capital resample of not the but also state which is the graying capital of brazil this is where they have been cutting and cutting down the rain forest for years to make way for soya for corn for sugarcane and of course for grazing lands for brazils very very large cattle industry so the idea with this campaign now is to try to convince the world that it needs brazilian grain that it needs brazilian beef and that there is some sort of a way that development and the increasing of these grazing lands and these grain fields for the economy can coexist with the need to preserve the planet that is going to be a very very hard sell indeed marty all right lucy a new member in thank you very much indeed. The iranian president Hassan Rouhani is on his way to the u. N. Hes going to reveal what he says the full details of a gulf security proposal. Tensions are simmering in the gulf after a series of attacks most recently a drone and missile strike on Saudi Oil Facilities saudi arabia and the u. S. They both say that iran is to blame and u. S.

Are massively. Regarding the issues in the region they are exaggerating what has happened to iran cause what is the reason for that the reason is that americans want to keep control of the whole region now they say they want to bring Patriot Defense systems into the region its clear they want to keep control of saudi arabias oil that comes from the eastern part this conflict is not about us it is about the american competition with chinese and others they are taking advantage of this opportunity president rouhani is also expected to present an alternative peace plan thats in the face of the u. S. Naval coalition that theyve put together for what the u. S. Says is to protect freedom of navigation district of her most president rouhani said hes planned called her move peace endeavor or hope to talk to regional countries because he says the answer to security and stability lies with gulf countries in the region and the United States is only a source of instability iran also says that the british flag tanker still in peril with the seas back in july is set to be released thats some positive news just as president rouhani is expected to land in new york saudi arabia may take several months to get its damage or oversell is back online according to the wall street journal it contradicts promises by saudi Oil Executives of a speedy recovery taking no more than 10 weeks aramco see to reassure markets in a letter published today which is Saudi National day saying the company is stronger than ever.

The holidaymakers are stranded after british Tour Operator thomas cook failed under the weight of massive debt 600000 people are affected their mainly from germany the u. K. France and scandinavian countries all telescope flights have been grounded 20000 jobs could be at risk and tunisias tourism minister has told the Reuters News Agency that the company owes hotels there in that country 66000000. 04 and a half 1000 british customers still in tunisia others on the Spanish Island of majorca have described frustration and exhaustion.

Theyre not wanted really before one or 2 or 4 can you do. All the people have lost their jobs. Im very anxious because i have sort of late so i dont know hey if im going to go to sleep in and then have a pretty good glass full thats the take just about making omar some way dales game so its going to be very difficult. And i wont be somebody to tell you. More now from our correspondent Catherine Stanzel reporting from london. Britains oldest travel Company Operating in more than a dozen countries with 19000000. 00 customers a year but thomas cook struggled to be profitable. Despite a 1000000000. 00 injection of cash earlier this year the company said on friday it needed an additional 250000000. 00 to stave off collapse or parking lot they contain a very bad news for the 600000 people around the world on thomas cook holidays when word spread about the dire financial situation this hotel and briefly refused to let holiday makers leave demanding money afraid that they wouldnt get paid if the company went bankrupt. I paid more than 2000. 00 for the holiday they want more than why i paid i told them im not responsible for thomas cook place kind of blackmail if you apply it you know you dont want the British Government is promising to help anyone stuck abroad i can reassure people that in the west case and already the Contingency Planning is there to avoid people being stranded more than 1000000 people around the world have holidays booked with thomas cook despite going bust theres little danger they will lose their money thanks to various Consumer Protection schemes thomas cook is seen as the inventor of the modern day package holiday a cabinet maker from yorkshire he was a strong supporter of the Temperance Movement and believed travel would help britains refrain from Drinking Alcohol he started out by arranging day trips by train in the 840. 00 s. The excursions proved so popular that within 20 years he was selling 2 hours to conscient. Europe the middle east and the United States but the modern day company has been under intense financial pressure rescued from near bankruptcy 8 years ago and how people book their holidays has added to the companys plight high street shops have been facing stiff competition from the internet and while Package Holidays like those from thomas cup often provide good value many consumers are now shopping around Online Booking their accommodation and flights separately to create a perspective ravel experience despite being a mainstay in the British TravelIndustry Analysts say the companys struggles to compete thomas cook is a marvelous brand it has an incredible heritage but im afraid in the 21st century in the for russias competition the travel industry counts for nothing or what matters is do you have a profitable business and sadly in the case of thomas cook we know the answer is no. Of 178 year old business steeped in history but apparently failing to keep up with modern times happenstance an aljazeera london arliss a closer look at the nowhere these thousands of people are after the failure of thomas cook about 50000 people have been holiday in various parts of greece and its islands of matter there are calls for some of tourists 20000 of them are on crete thats the largest in the most populous of the greek islands then theres another 15000 there in cyprus where the Authorities Say theyre talking to other governments about how to get them home and as many as 30 thousands are 1000 Spains Canary islands and thats off the coast of morocco 46 telescope flights have been canceled there lets go live now to the greek capital athens and our correspondent there john seraphinas any idea then whats going to happen to this 50000 or so tourists whove been stranded both on the mainland and in the islands. Well the government says it has already chartered 15 craft to go to 3 locations in greece the islands of corfu zakk in source both on the west coast and costs in the very near the maritime border with turkey and they are to start air lifting. Who are stranded today and taking them home about 22000 people the government reckons should be repaired treated in the next 72 hours thats almost half of those who are stranded here and for the remainder of the government says the resources for them to remain throughout the rest of their booked travel and their flights to return home those resources have been secured its been phrased exactly like that in the passive voice so it isnt clear whether this is government money that the Greek Tourism Ministry is talking about or whether thomas cook has produced some of those phones at the moment the Tourism Ministry itself is trying to tally how many tourists exactly it is going to have to cater to and how many greek jobs may be at risk from the collapse of thomas cook none of that is at the moment clear it is all being tallied as we speak and some of those figures should begin to emerge in the next couple of days all right john thank you for that John Psaropoulos live from athens where the German Airline condo thats half owned by thomas cook but apparently its still in the air the planes are still flying dominic cain has more from the german capital battling. The airline condo operate flights for the Thomas Cook Group and it says that around 240000 customers passengers have flown with condor or to destinations on holidays who are currently still there right now the difference for these passengers these customers is that condo is still operating flights its applied for an emergency bridging loan from the german guy. And to allow it to remain in operation so it says it still operating in shuttles passengers can return to germany but the important thing to stress is that thomas cook in so far as the agencies that operate within it well they are no longer selling any of their packages to anyone any packages that have already been sold today monday the 23rd and for the 24th of september will not be on our condo has also said that it will not fly any new thomas cook passengers on its planes clearly that the board is in the course of the German Government will it approve the bridging loan that has been applied for is clearly that will be decisive in the deciding the situation that these 240000 passengers customers find themselves in the certainly the airport such as those in china felt for those people working in the agencies the shops that provide these packages for their future is certainly as it were uncertain. The security of Municipal Services on the greek island of less also holding an emergency meeting because of a sharp rise in migrants and refugees coming by boat from turkey madia camp was built for 3000 people but its home now 212000 the camp is turning people away aide workers say the conditions there are horrendous for meanwhile interior ministers from 4 European Countries are trying to agree on a common approach to handling refugees and migrants theyre meeting in malta which along with a silly says it is having to shoulder too much of the burden both of these countries have turned away charity vessels that have rescued people representatives are moved to italy germany and france are joined by the e.

Is under a Tropical Storm warning again rob really it is its not a hurricane warning so its at least a downgrade on that it doesnt look too bad well see it happen fairly quickly actually this massive cloud here just have a look at it this is over Trinidad And Tobago sudden the wind would hours if you like you dont often see things develop here but a Tropical Storm did indeed develop but its pretty much impossible to spot it but the one of the hidden spots in small circulation was the amount of rain that recorded in tobago 138 millimeters is a more imagine about to severe thunderstorms but you can guess where the storm is can you know cannot be honest but its officially put about here at the moment is winds are in about 65 kilometers it doesnt the market will strengthen the next 2 days despite the warmth of the seas which are of course rough because it still circles a storm the reg having already dropped 138. 00 and it not strengthening is going to be about the same on its past at the moment because its in the open seas the Eastern Caribbean but its path is directly north was more or less during the day it will be roughly speaking following this green line san juan is the capital of puerto rico we expect it to go over there on the to the east the island sometime during tuesday local time Daylight Hours i think so the moment youve got puerto rico with the capital they like to get turned into a rather nasty condition late on tuesday and say its not a hurricane marty. Rob thank you very much indeed still to come on this aljazeera news are flooding my family home and in nigeria raising questions over National Food supplies.

In just 20 years possible some money on something something. Almost bought and. If it sells some. Many to build such a. Thing was it a visit some of the displaced to sell the same money on Something LikeClimate Change the topic of the lives of. The soul. Through these doors we walk the influencers the experts my special guests. On these pews will sit an informed audience and my distinguished panelists ready and waiting for a combative debate. For nearly 200 years people have insisted on making their voices heard here in the chamber of the oxford union and this time ill be waiting for them a new series of head to head coming soon on al jazeera. Lets have a look at the top stories here in the aljazeera news at least 40 people have been killed in afghanistan and more thought to have been an air strike. It happened in the most color region of Helmand Province in the south of the country deals are it is theyre investigating reports that the airstrike hit a wedding celebration by mistake. 7 children have been killed in kenya after their school collapsed at least 64 others students are in hospital. And World Leaders are seeking progress on Climate Change in new york ahead of the u. N. General assembly the summit counts as a new u. N. Report warns that countries have got to triple their efforts to reduce Carbon Emissions. And continuing on that theme and in an historic me the uns announce the ball will become the 1st african nation to receive International Funds to preserve its forests norway and get all signed the accord on sunday under the deal the Central African nation will receive the maximum of 150000000. 00 over a 10 year period to fight deforestation governs forest. The minister says the rain forest is critical to protecting biodiversity as well as containing Carbon Emissions ive been speaking to solution i do research at the institute for Global Dialogue thats a South African think tank and she says a big challenge will be to ensure that the funds are directed into projects that really help the environment. I dont think theres ever going to be a number or even any kind of a moment that could be able to return as enough in order to mitigate the risks of what is happening in the region but i think whats 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 of the can 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 now we sit in it in a continent where theres very acute Development Challenges around public t. Inequality questions of livelihood material circumstances with people are fighting for survival and i think this is becoming a serious dilemma. And climate activists in washington d. C. A blocking traffic around key intersections in the u. S. Capitol they want to draw attention to Climate Change organizers the shutdown d. C. Demonstrations say they want to grab the attention of lawmakers ahead of that u. N. Climate summit this taking place just up the raid in new york. Joins us now from washington and looks a bit empty behind you is a protest started yet. Absolutely for the last several hours weve had little small bands of protests as you spread out across the 4 quadrants of washington d. C. Some as i will tell you just in people but thats enough to shut down key intersections key all trees into the city we see a lot of the rest being made out of the result of being small and nimble days when the police come and they make their arrest and the rest of the group would then go off to another intersection and have a predecessor we sing this all around the city and whats key theme of this is the intersectionality of the issue of Climate Change its not just about the planet getting hotter its about the effect that has on migration on health care on poverty and of course the record has been capitalism and racism and concern isnt so we see. A lot of these messages for example here we have a group who were just actually in the street im together but the police about. Who were talking about Climate Justice being healthy Justice Moore with one of the protesters had actually interestingly where with black lives matter is what were going to show you the intersectionality of the climate protests on the way but Erica Durance try to help us understand the whys Climate JusticeHealth Justice of Climate Justice is Health Justice because our world is burning and the more our world heats up the more disasters that were seeing the more people that were seeing impacted by those disasters coming into hospitals taking up our health care. Were just seeing so many people coming in with heat stroke in the summer coming in with respiratory problems and Health Justice is also part of like with black lace matter because by black people dont have the same access to health care that the white upper class middle class people have black people in southwest are southeast times i dont have access to Maternal Health care they have the highest rates of eternal death in the country and lectured me taylor happens to be with us we didnt expect this but shes one of the main black lives mounted d. C. Out to us here i mean help us understand how the internet from the Global Politics intersects with the local politics just here and on the cost year and the and the black areas of washington d. C. Because if youre not talking about crime in environmental change climate in iran going to justice youre not talking about global justice our environment justice dont look like to go with the good old boy time and chinese the burning of the fire of the war was in a different the animal is distinct our Environmental Justice is racism dest is racism injustice we have an hour yes all over the world basically not just the southeast but especially here he said the river we had was that they put the land feel as though we had the people where theyre going to actually. They are actually building the developers our mayor i havent the Developers Come in below and at the end they be all in a jury oh and pollute the air effect in the lungs in a life of my mom modernize black and brown people our people have been displaced because they not fixing the problems of leg in mono in our apartments and houses which is causing this causing brain damage to you divestiture eye problems of elders but the air in because theyre not fixing those problems of eventually those boomers have to be taught dale and we share those dale is displaced and i make out like that a Climate Change there how does it all fit in to gether because that environment in jest is all of that the pollution the pollution the no health care is is a disease that black people go to the hospital we cant get treated because they have care because of the environment issues because we cant breathe fresh air because they put in dump trucks right in the middle where people live in modulus communities if you rats or to 95 you can smell the toxins coming into your loans thank you both very very much sir this little bit of griller action you could call it at this intersection is over were not going to head to the next one its spreading all around the city there at an intersection near you if youre in d. C. Perhaps. See have read thank you very much indeed were going to stay in washington because the us congress may be full soon into impeachment proceedings against President Trump thats a warning coming from the House Intelligence Committee chairman if its confirmed that President Trump pressured ukraine to investigate his potential white house rival trump the insists hes done nothing wrong mike hanna explains from washington. President trump continued to dom play the reports describing his conversation with the ukrainian president in july as absolutely perfect. We had a great conversation. The. Conversation i had with a large congratulatory blog. The rock and roll of the corrupt taking away large the fact that we dont want our people like Vice President biden done 6. For us 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 the 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 the case that there was something going on with the president s family because the conflict of interest and Vice President biden behaved in a way that was inconsistent with the way leaders are 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 whistle blowers 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 he release the transcript 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 but again live now to the u. N. And there you see the secretary general antonio good tedesco about to make an important announcement lets listen to what hes going to say means good mission for a credible balance then the inclusive Constitutional Committee that will be facilitated by the United Nations in geneva i welcome the progress made by my by the government and the opposition and my special envoy facilitative you get him and you know accordance with Security Council resolution 2254 of 215 and we will convene the Constitutional Committee in the coming weeks. I strongly believe that the launch of the cd unknowns and cd and left Constitutional Committee can and must be the beginning of the political path out of the treasure the towards a solution in line with the resolution 20 254. 00 that meets the legitimate aspirations of all c. D. s and these based on a strong commitment to the countries of an entity independence unity and territorial integrity. The cause additional committees launch and work must be accompanied by concrete actions to build trust and confidence as my special envoy at these charges is mandates and facilitate the broader political process forwards. I appreciate to the pool about skin gauge meant of the governments of russia turkey and iran in supporting the conclusion of the agreement and im also grateful for the support of the members of the Security Council and the members of the small groups im thankful for the contributions my special envoy is received from a wide crosssection of Syrian Society women and men. My special envoy will continue to consult extensively into this charge of his mandates thank you. So that was pretty brief and to the point and tell you the tariff and mounting announcing the establishment of a Constitutional Committee for syria listening to that is our diplomatic editor james bass james the fact that this empty general has just as the u. N. Is gearing up for this massive Climate Conference comes out to announce the establishment of a Constitution Committee suggests it is a very significant development. But it certainly what the u. N. Has been working for for well over a year in syria this Constitutional Committee i can tell you that some members of the Security Council the tired of of this they felt that it was a dead end that the u. N. Was going up trying to get this Constitutional Committee and the argument was over the names on the list because there were 3 lists in fact a list that was drawn out by the Syrian Government to lift drawn up by the opposition and address draw drawn up by the u. N. And they were arguing over the last names of this for literally months and months but they have now come to a resolution they came to a resolution last week when we saw that meeting in turkey between the leaders of Turkey Russia and iran but the final agreements the u. N. Wanted to be absolutely sure that they got the final pieces in place in fact i spoke to the 2nd this last week to make sure he sent his special envoy gare pederson to damascus hes been there for the last couple of days making sure there really is buy in from the assad regime and they now feel confident that they can come out and make a statement that the Constitutional Committee will be formed this will take a bit of time because its not a small undertaking there are a large number of people that now have to be got to geneva we are. Sume for the start of this Constitutional Committee and exactly what will they discuss while the discussing a new constitution for syria but clearly there are related issues to this for example an election Going Forward how would an election take place in syria who would be allowed to vote would those that of fled syria the refugees that are in many countries in the middle east but also in europe how would they vote in any election so there are lots of on result issues and i can tell you there are many skeptics who fear that when this process after all this negotiation on the committee and who could be an 8 when it goes to geneva it might go the same way as previous u. N. Peace efforts in geneva but as you say the secretary general believes this is one beat of good news on syria coming at the start of this important week of diplomacy and even though hes addressing in about 15 minutes time all the World Leaders on Climate Change he felt it important to get in this statement and to lock in the progress theyve made on this and james that one does wonders how how far they can go how far any political presence can go when there is still fighting this still fighting in northwest of the country and indeed theres a great deal of disagreement as to the status of the northeast of the country. Yes well i think what theyre trying to do is deal with one narrow post of this which is the future constitutional arrangements for syria and that takes you away from the issues on the ground but clearly the issues on the ground are so serious when you have the province of idlib which very much now is the last battleground of this long war when you have 3000000 people there when you have persistent claims that the Syrian Government and its russian allies are bombing those people but in particular bombing medical centers and hospitals there and no one really knows how this is going to conclude and everyone
