Number of civilians were also caught up in this attack particularly from a Wedding Party that was happening nearby that was caught in this airstrike now the number of civilian casualties varies the taliban has issued a statement saying tens of people have been killed others injured other figures differ to that but what we do know it does seem as though a large number of civilians once again have been caught up in a battle between taliban and Coalition Forces and a number include colluding many women and children this comes of course as afghanistan is preparing for its president ial election in the coming saturday the last couple of days have been generally quiet here in afghanistan but we have seen generally a surge in the number of attacks taking place both by the taliban who have threatened to disrupt this election process and also in Response Coalition attacks trying to make sure that there is security here for this election to take place and we are still several days away from polling.

I want to apologize to my 21000 colleagues who i know will be heartbroken secondly i would like to say. To all customers those who dont wholly the even know and those who have booked with us in the coming months we although most travelers will choose other companies for future holidays turkeys Hotel Federation still thinks it could miss out on 600. 00 to 700000. 00 tourists a year hotel years across the world face pay debts. To musea where thomas cook tourists were briefly detained in one hotel says the company owes its hotel 66000000. 00 for july and august so what went wrong with one of the Biggest Travel Companies in the world well one of the facts was they just failed to keep up with the times in an age where many people are happy to order holidays themselves online rather than a package from a travel agents in a shop but then theres also the weak british pounds an early european summer heat wave and then the impact that breaks its uncertainty has had on whether people here want to risk going abroad to their favorite european destinations. The u. K. Government is fast tracking an investigation into how the Company Ideas directors handled it slide towards insolvency thomas cook set up his business 178 years ago booking train tickets for victorian britons now its consigned to the history books returns 0 london the u. K. s main Opposition Labor Party has pledged to hold a 2nd referendum on bracks city within 6 months of winning an election however the Party Remains divided on whether it would back leave or remain in such a vote and i believe that Jeremy Corbyn was the 1st secure a National Election and then determine the partys bracks it stands the risley reports from bryson where the policy is holding its annual conference one of the great mysteries of brics it has always been what the labor partys position on this is certainly the membership of the party overwhelmingly supports staying in the European Union but their leader Jeremy Corbin is quite another question through his entire political career as a renegade left winger hes been the euro skeptic the great danger to the cause of socialism in this country or any other country of the imposition of fact as you are but by the time the brics referendum happened hed done what looked like a half hearted about turned labor party is going to be committed campaigning to stay within the European Union for the last 3 years the Party Membership has tried to convince itself that corbin is on their side no longer the problem for corbett isnt only the voters find his positional bricks it confused its that throughout his entire political career he sets himself up as a conviction politician prepared to go out on a limb to try to break the mold of traditional politics so much ambiguity of a bricks it seems to fly in the face of his own idea of himself. Accidents forced a motion calling for the party to unequivocally support staying in the European Union theres this idea that somehow were going to wait until after the election attend that weve got no position now and then. Sort of but will definitely paint remain the future never be acceptable that make up everybody in future im sorry but i dont think that treating voters like that idiots is a vote so called. Leadership on the conference delegates such as the support for corbin that speaker after speaker them to vote for his position which is not to decide on the bricks at policy until after he becomes Prime Minister they won and then separately the pro e. U. Side lost it as a mole so the story of the day it is surely that the membership of the party people not in this room have not heard their views reflected by their own leaders and that does not bode well for called in Lawrence Leigh aljazeera that Labor Party Conference in brighton or the u. K. s highest court is geo announced on tuesday whether Prime Minister Boris Johnsons decision to suspend parliament for 5 weeks was illegal government lawyers argued last week that johnson had a right to probe parliament for political means but those on the other side said the move was intended to silence debate so really they described it as the more biggest abuse of executive power in at least 50 years government has said it will abide by the supreme courts ruling. Says from 5 e. U. Countries have come up with a temporary plan to manage the large numbers of refugees and migrants saved from the mediterranean its silly and mole to have consistently refused to allow rescue vessels to dock they say they are unfairly bearing the burden of migrant arrivals sorry guy a guy has the latest from being able. It may be one step towards a solution but its one of the delegates seem to be satisfied with as they came up with the blueprints for a temporary emergency mechanism in order to result the migration crisis here in europe certainly seem to be optimistic that they would present those plans on the 8th of october at another interior ministers meeting in luxembourg now the challenge for this would be in order to get all the Member States to try to take in more of the Asylum Seekers that have landed especially in malta and italy there has been a great deal of pushback from countries such as poland and hungary who refused to do so and certainly the act migration policies have made a hoss in fact box there is also not a solution and all the sudden you have taken. From france and from germany they said they would be prepared to take 25 percent of any Asylum Seekers there would also be prepared to take 10 percent but that is they say because theyve received tens of thousands of people. Nevertheless trying to persuade other Member States to take in more people will certainly be a challenge and also will no doubt rile up to migrate through voices in other countries throughout the European Union.

How important developments aking place here at the uns focus today as you know is on climate will come to climate in a moment but clearly there are also a lot of other developments when you have so many people in the same place at the same time that is when you get important developments on International Issues among the things weve seen just moments before you open the Climate Summit the u. N. Secretary general and tony you could terrorist announced it will developments on syria the Constitutional Committee that critics of the u. N. Said the u. N. Has gotten bogged down on for more than the year finally looks like it is being formed and could meet soon lets discuss this and other issues with the 6 general spokesman Stefan Stefan tell me about this Constitutional Committee how important is this development and when could it mean for the 1st time were obviously the final agreement on the composition of the Constitutional Committee the rules of procedure is very important as you know of a youve been covering this story for a long time and its a piece of the puzzle we have been waiting for for quite some time so now the next step is for Gair Peterson to announce at which point the committee will decide to meet in geneva we hope that happens soon will you be giving us more details all of the terms of reference of this committee because there are issues like future elections in syria syria has not a free and Fair Election since 1970 which one assumes come in the area of the Constitutional Commission of course and we do expect to have those announcements as the weeks progress and when were when the committee decides to meet and meet itself this week has been overshadowed i think on the into. National agenda by one issue and thats the growing tension in the gulf the message from your boss the secretary general has been one of restraint now for 10 days were going to hear the president of the u. S. In the next 24 hours speaking and then on wednesday the president of iran what sort of message is the u. N. Hoping to hear and what does the u. N. Make of the iranian proposal that seems to be to be coming this week for a new mechanism for the gulf for Regional Security and the idea that it should be under a u. N. Umbrella well 1st of all were pleased that the president iran the foreign minister waybill to come and will be attending the meeting here at the u. N. Will obviously listen very carefully to President Trump to president rouhani the message that we hope to hear is exactly what you said is one of restraint and dialogue but obviously well have to listen to what they actually said as you know the secretary general himself talked about the creation of some sort of a platform for dialogue in the gulf between the main parties so well be listening very closely to the announcements made by the iranians of this of what what plan they hope to bring forward and i think anything that leads us away from confrontation towards dialogue is to be welcomed but obviously we need to hear the details now on climate the secretary general very keen that the 1st day to day ahead of all the normal speeches should be focusing on the climate he seems to have switched from the other issues hes focused on to his new number one issue now and above Everything Else is climate and he said he wanted concrete pledges from the leaders who came here from what youve heard so far has he got what he wanted and has this been a success i think well wait til the end of the day to give to give a final verdict but were very pleased with what weve heard so far commitments from local governments from the business sector on on carbon free. Protege shown on housing on cleaner air i think that the people who were allowed to speak whether they were heads of governments heads of coalitions or various influential people was about making commitments hard commitments and i think they came and they delivered obviously will have to tally up what was committed but i think the energy in the room especially this morning i think you were there and the secretary general was there i think was really palpable and was really energizing standage eric spokesperson for the secretary general the United Nations thank you for joining us here on out 0 on a day when yes the all world listened to World Leaders talking about the climate but they also listened to that 16 year old schoolgirl director tony burke scolding the International Community those World Leaders in the room and she said the way they were dealing with this issue fayre were the ones who were a mature james braze of the series diplomats had said thank you very much indeed well speaking of historic moves the United Nations and eyes that gamma will become the 1st african nation to receive ensor National Funds to preserve its forests norway and gabbled signed the accord on sunday on the deal the Central African nation will receive a maximum of 150000000. 00 over 10 years to fight steve forestation evelyns forestry minister says the rain forest is critical to protecting by diversity and containing Carbon Emissions. Flooding is threatening to cause Food Shortages in North Western nigeria where crops have been destroyed dozens of people have been killed and thousands of homes washed away amid aegis reports now from.

Those who cannot cope are forced to leave. One might only course trying to salvage what he can of his militants will go at least for the next meal the rest he says is lost. But one my village is spared by design footing disaster this is the 2nd city of year we are experiencing these ive already lost 10 farms weve rice beans groundnuts and so gone is loss is echoed in villages lining nigerias coast and River Valleys these 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 weather conditions and because the government has banned food importation through its 9 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 hectares of farmland gone. And this is also a 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 can only do now is to support those people that have laws that towns to to put them into shelters and tried to see how we can feed them but. After every day family land that is a lot as the crowds that were lost and 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 another 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 and from the southern part we also have so much of flood. The flotsam 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 agrees al jazeera. Large area. The u. S. Congress may be forced into impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump thats the warning from the House Intelligence Committee chairman if its confirmed trump pressure ukraine to investigate joe biden its been reported that trump threatened to count off military aid to ukraine if it did not investigate the boys in used his position as Vice President to help his son but trump insists hes done nothing wrong by kanner reports from washington President Trump continued 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 taking. Large the 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 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 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 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 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 is he refusing to allow congressional oversight of a whistle blowers complaint thats been described as credible and off an urgent nature mike hanna aljazeera washington.
