With the strike action costing 25 million a day, the french Prime Minister warns a solution must be found because air frances very future is in questio question. Its midday in london, 7 00 a. M. Washington, 2 00 p. M. In Northern Syria where a wave of fresh air strikes has reportedly hit positions held by Islamic State militants close to the turkish border. Its not yet clear which countries the planes are from. Witnesses say military aircraft drops bombs many the areas west of kobane. The area hosts a u. S. Air base. The turkish president erdogan suggested that could change. A turkish official has denied turkey played a role in this particular attack. The role of turkey is crucial right now. In the past few minutes we have had a clip through to us from erdogan, the turkish president who has been speaking to reporters in new york. Heres what he had to say. Translator we are in detail. Talks will continue, and we will do whatever we have to to fight against terrorism and take the necessary steps. I will hold talk as with the government after i return. We will consider providing support. Well give military support as well. Well give necessary support to the ration. Military or logistics. Lets get reaction to everything thats happened in the past few hours or so. The bbc Turkish Service is with us and also our chief sberp National Correspondent is live in baghdad. Lynn, if if i could start with you first. Hearing from president erdogan, no clear signals as to whether air strikes seen overnight did in fact originate from turkey. No. We do not know whether or not they originated from turkey. The london based Organization Says the planes came from turkey, however, the officials have been denying that kind of report saying we werent involved. Our planes werent involved. Our air space wasnt involved and u. S. Air space wasnt involved in this air strike that took place in kobane. Apparently the turkey provision is shifting. It was against military involvement but with the president erdogans statements we have heard, things might change. Things might be changing. Lena in beirut, can you give us a sense of regional reaction to air strikes and anything youre hearing from syria. Reporter the Syrian Government has made it clear they are supporting air strikes, but they want liaison with the government. The president wanted to tell the world he wanted to be involved in war on terrorism. The American Action seems alien nated damascus from decision in air strikes. Views on the ground in damascus and across syria are also split between pro government. Theres great concern with opposition especially people that lost homes that this war will kill terrorism and leave assad in power. Thats leaving many angry. Whats the view from baghdad . Similarly here, theres talk of americans becoming involved in iraq. The government has requested the support of United States. We expect the Prime Minister of iraq to make the same requests today that David Cameron, the british Prime Minister asked the United Nations today. There are many here from all walks of life that fear the rise of Islamic State. Hundreds were executed by the Group Calling itself Islamic State. Weve seen the videos of western hostages as well. Speaking to people on the streets today, some say there should be ground troops. Others say we dont want the United States becoming involved. People are aware of impacts of the air strikes and what form the state will take going on. What implications do you think we could see in new york whether formal or outside the main meetings . Reporter i think a lot of support. The leaders who are at the United Nations are the people who are now engaging. We heard from the United States that theres now 51 countries that have lined up behind this coaliti coalition. Its an Unprecedented Alliance to have five arab states including nations that have been bickering and backing proxies of wars and conflicts across the region whether syria, iraq or even egypt. Now coming together for the attacks against positions not just of the Islamic State in sir i cant have but also Al Qaedalinked groups as well. This is unprecedented. All these leaders are very aware that theres public reaction at home. They have to watch for civilian casualties, watch for what targets are being struck. They keep asking questions, what are the goals of this operation, long term goals. Its not surprising in a region which has seen all too many interventions that have got to achieve objections and have gone badly wrong. Thanks for that. If i can come back to you and talk about the refugees, theres of course terrible suffering as well and real concerns in turkey about the amount of refugees theyre having to cope with. What is the feeling about dealing with the refugee crisis . Numbers are overwhelming. Its almost 150,000 of refugees that have crossed the border. U. N. Has warned numbers could reach up to 400,000. Turkey hosts 1 and a half million refugees and support hers which is an enormous number. Now adding to that burden, not only financially but this amount of refugees might pose some concern with local communities as well because they were already tensions with local communities between Syrian Refugees and the turkish people. Now these are syrian kurds making things more complicated for turkey. However turkey says it is pledging whatever it can do to help these people on humanitarian grounds. We are hearing reports that now people have actually started going back to kobane in numbers. Thank you so much for that. Thanks for joining us from baghdad as well as beirut.

Although he was brand d a threat to uk national security, he was never put on trial in britain. Last year after a prolonged legal battle, uk government finally succeeded in deporting him back to jordan to stand trial. While declared innocent of terrorism charges, abu qatada is a long standing supporter of al qaeda. At his last court appearance, he railed against the now prominent Extremist GroupIslamic State condemning them for murdering journalists. Could authorities in jordan now try to harness opposition to i. S. . He could be used against i. S. Hes certainly no friend of the jordanian government.

They say most of these go to burn bodies. Its not allowed to bury them. You cant see your relatives. For example, we werent able to receive my aunts body or her son. People are scared. You see people running up and down, not just othebola but oth diseases. A pregnant lady wanted to be seen, but they wouldnt let her in. Livelihood is affected. Her for example, she cant go to work. That means theres no income coming in. My sister cant go to school. Everybody is on pause right now. The whole system is slow. Ebola is affecting me personally in a manner i never thought possibly. I recently graduated from university of nairobi august 23rd. My mother couldnt make it. We spoke about this so many times how she would be steps screaming for me cheering me on. Climbing the steps knowing she wasnt there and my sister wasnt there, she could just get pictures. For a long time i was crying about it. She told me not to worry about it.

Led air strikes hit Islamic State positions in syria, a Diplomatic Campaign is waged in new york. Well take you to the United Nations as the General Assembly is about to get underway. The first ever deadline to end deforestation is set at Climate Change. Why is brazil refusing to join the pact . Also on the program, aaron is back. Youve got the latest on Climate Change too . We sure do. The report comes from china looking at creation of some of the Worlds Largest cities. The idea is for these to house some 100 Million People expected to move in from the villages. We visited one of the cities to find out why its still empty. The first day, the General Assembly began tuesday in new york with a special summit on Climate Change. More than 30 countries start the deadline to end deforestation. National laws allow for managed sellings. Lets take you to bbc in rio de janeiro. With me here in the studio is going to talk to us a bit about the possible meeting of mr. Rouhani with David Cameron at the u. N. Today. So many things happening in new york. Lots to get through. Lets start with laura. What can we expect to happen today . Well lucy today is the opening of general debate. Security is tight here. There are more than 140 World Leaders in town. This is when the leaders begin the process of laying out their vision of the world and challenges it faces. Well have president obama, america of course the host of the United Nations, speaking this morning. It will be an upbeat message about American Leadership in the world. Hell be arguing america has built momentum in recent weeks with coalition of air strikes against Islamic State in syria and also reaction about ebola. This afternoon, an interesting session led by president obama with 12 heads of state there to try and pass a binding resolution which will say countries must prosecute foreign fighters going a broad. Thats all in the fight against the Islamic State. Were looking forward to this incredible meeting between David Cameron and mr. Rouhani to take place, the first big meeting since 1979. How receptive do you think mr. Rouhani is going to be to perhaps we imagine David Camerons request at a taking part in this coalition . Not very much. The u. S. Air strikes that have been carried out by the United States on syria has not been condemned by rouhani. He questioned it. They ruled out taking part in coalition and ridiculed the idea. Nevertheless theyre happy it serves their interest for the United States and coalition to be trying to strike the isil forces. Theyll be happy on one hand. Its a double hand game. Theyre happy with the strikes, but on the other hand theyre fearful of implications it might undermine their influence in the region. They might agree to cooperate if movement is made on nuclear sta talks. Depends on what you mean. Military security. The United States will not share intelligence with the ukrainian. There might have been cooperations in iraq any way. Iranian backed forces have a presence in iraq. Defeating isis in iraq would not have been popular halting their advance without active participation of Iranian Forces on the ground. How this takes, cooperation on what levels it unfolds remains to be seen. Laura, obviously the International Coalition now is pivotal. Does it seem its garnered more support . Reporter the influential newspaper this this town, new york times, has been critical of the president and that coalition saying that this is a wrong turn on syria that there should have been more of a National Debate and that its not clear what the u. S. Is getting itself into. Is this just a coalition which is really u. S. Led with some back up from arab nations . Thats a critic from the new york times, a pap el voice in this town. For american, theres a sense theres another enbroilment with another crisis happening now. People are apprehensive about where this is going to lead. Thanks for the update from new york. Were looking forward to that meeting between David Cameron and rouhani if it indeed takes place. Lets return to one of the thinthing things happening in new york over past few days. Leaders have been meeting to discuss Climate Change. More than 30 countries have agreed a pact on deforestation. Brazil which has the largest continuing rain forest in the world has not agreed to sign up. Lets take you to rio de jane o janeiro. Why have they said no . The minister here in brazil said brazil was not consult issed is consulted in the elaboration of this. She says she was given a text to sign without having the chance to make changes to it. This is disputed by the leader in the program. He said there was contact to involve the country and there was no response. The fact also is that this agreement, one of the terms, one of the goals, is to bring the deforestation to zero by 2030. This could clash with brazilian law. The minister said theres concerns because brazilian law establishes difference between legal and illegal deforestation. The National Policy is end illegal deforestation. That would clash with this pact. Its interesting three brazilian states in the amazon have signed the pact agreed on in new york. Perhaps an act of defiance pressuring the government to sign it in the coming months. Were looking forward to General Assembly today taking place in new york julia. The first world leader to take to the stage, why is it she gets to go first . Theres this tradition in the United Nations that dates back to 1947. The u. N. Had just been created in 45. In 47 when the First Special session was held, a brazilian diplomat was the one to give the opening speech. After that, it became near after year lets do that again. Its one of the cases which tradition keeps repeating until hit becomes informal rule. Of course the rule has changed a lot since then and brazil stance in the world has also changed. In other times, brazilian ministers of diplomats would give the opening speech. Now its something the president will want to do, give the opening speech before president obama. Today she is expected to address some foreign issues but also talk about the internal situation in brazil. Its less than two weeks until the president ial election. Shell certainly use this International Platform not only to talk to this global audience but to reach out to her potential voters here in brazil and talk about the achievements of her government and Workers Party in brazil in the past 12 youers. 12 years. Thanks for joining us aaron. I want to be there. Beautiful. Gorgeous. Back to more serious matters. Air france and the strike. Big problems, lots of warnings. Good to see you. Let me explain. Air france pilots are on strike. Forget that, on strike again, wednesday. Its now the tenth day in a row. In the past several hours t france transport minister has intervened to be con frtradictey the airline. Air france management abandoned plans to develop the low cost airline. This Budget Airline is at the center of the labor dispute with pilots. Air france said weve put plans on hold temporarily. With strike action costing the airline up to 25 million a day, the french Prime Minister has warned a solution needs to be found quickly because air frances very future is in question. Lets go to our correspondent following the story from paris. Hue, great to see you. Lets start with the interview on the radio. The transport minister says theyve scrapped the idea. The Airline Comes back and says, no we havent. Why the confusion . Very good question. Something is happening. When this dispute is reaching crisis point. The french state which is a share holder in air france is getting impatient. The government basically came out with the statement this morning with the transport minister saying air france has agreed to give up, abandon the idea of a european and offshore branch. Theres going to be a french based low cost and then the plan also for air france to have an offshore local transit in europe. Thats the point of contention. He was saying that in effect air france has agreed to give up offshore portuguese based or Something Like that transair. Whats happened the management has agreed to suspend this offshore. It hasnt agreed to drop it completely. Its whether air france is on the point of giving up this european development. It may well be thats whats about to happen. It cant put up with losses. It would say weve given up european transit but will focus on french based. That may be the face saving formula we end up at the end of the day. This is moving fast now. Can i briefly say or ask, given the cost you mentioned, the strike action cost, is it realistic warning from the french Prime Minister is future of air france is in question . Everyone knows i think and even the pilots would agree, developing low cost is absolutely essential. Air france cannot win back all that short Medium Business in europe unless it develops a low cost operation. If it doesnt develop its own, its going to have to buy one. Air france on short and medium hops for Business People is a dying world. They know that. Pilots know that. What pilots want is same terms and conditions for pilots on transand air france low cost as on air france. They say thats not possible. The whole point of low cost is we have to lower our costs. Thats where the dispute is now. You know, it will have to come to an end soon. Cost are piling up. All financial gains to be had from developing are effectively wiped out by the day. Sticky situation. I know youll keep a cross on this. Thanks for that update. How about this, 100 million chinese expected to move to cities by 2020. That drive for new sustainable homes has led to a partnership between china and singapore six years ago to create whats the Worlds Largest ecosystem. Heres the problem. Chinas downturn taking the broader economy with it, is the case of shiny new apartment buildings sitting empty . Weapon went to we went to th city to take a look. As you drive across the bridge, theres a sense of entering a different place. Its not so much the broad boulevards and tree lined sidewalks or reminders that 20 of the citys power for one day come from renewable energy. Whats noticeable is whats missing. The overwhelming question as you walk around this eco city in the afternoon heat is where is everybody . Well say the developers, they are coming. There are 12,000 residents already here. Just two years ago there were virtually none. That 12,000 is a fraction of 350,000 the city will eventually be able the to support. In the local market, theres none of the usual food shopping. And at the community center, theres no queue to play pool. For locals like madame and her friends, the environment is a big attraction. Translator i used to live where the air quality wasnt great. Here the air and environment are both great. Reporter in a country notorious for polluted cities, this project is a commitment by china to build a sustainable urban center. The sheer scale of the place, 30 kilometers makes it hard to reply caught. The man in charge of the project works to a long list of green standards covering everything from Water Quality to waste deposal. One of the Biggest Challenges is we go for highest environmental targets or go for what the market can support . Youre only building what you can sell at the moment . 60 to 70 of homes here are sold. Reporter on this commercial street, she has sold wines for two years. She says more people are moving in, and it gets busier and busier every year. The echo city is trying to attract new residents as chinas property sector slows down. The hope is the cleaner and greener acts as a buffer for the head winds. Take your pick. Thats it for business. The eco city has something noisy. Hello, hello. Thanks aaron. Stay with us on bbc world news. Still to come. Were going to explore the scandal surrounding this american footballer and explain the debate this the u. S. About the limits of child discipline. Onthree awards, well thats a different story. The audi a3. Now available in tdi clean diesel. K. Now, thats progressive. Call or click today. Im lucy hockings. Our top story this is hour. Turkeys president erdogan says hes considering offering Logistical Support for u. S. Led attacks on iraq and syria. Last week, a professional american footballer was arrested in texas for allegedly hitting his young child with a tree branch. Adrian peterson who plays for Minnesota Vikings claims he was disciplining his 4yearold and did not intend to injure him. This has sparked a National Debate about spanking children and complex they galty of corporate punishment in america. Lets take you to washington and speak to stacey whos written about her abuse as a child and written about Corporal Punishment in black american communities. What issues do you think controversy over Adrian Peterson has come of a result of it . First of all, its really quite a shame it take as ts thee of a celebritys child to cause this National Debate over an issue that affects regions of children across this country and across the globe quite frankly every single day. In the american contest, its really brought to the front a Cultural Divide over what is appropriate discipline of children and what is not. Also the growing ill galty of certain kinds of discipline of children across this country. Particularly in africanamerican communities, people are feeling under attacked because they feel that this type of child rearing is part of responsible parenting in a society that really devalue children of color. There are studies to support each side of the argument. I did see one today that said 73 of white people accept spanking as a legitimate punishment and 85 of black people do. Do you think this is a black issue or just American Issue . I think Corporal Punishment is embedded in american culture. Its simply not just a black issue. What ends up happening when we talk about bad parenting particularly, violent child rearing practices, the conversations tend to pathology as something uniquely black and black poor. What happens, it starts conversations that leads us toward reform. With africanamericans, whats different is it often gets cited as a cultural thing, something thats a right of passage. Certainly africanamericans dont hold a monopoly on striking children. What do africanamericans tell you about why they punish their children in this way . Is it lack of education or they truly believe theyre doing the right thing . They truly believe theyre doing the right thing. This is part of a long standing tradition in our culture. You know oppression, talking about racism. It keeps changes form. A lot of black americans say i whip my child from keeping them from stepping out of line so they wont be dealt with harshly by the police or even killed. They see it as a way to keep children from being insnared in the prison pipeline. Theyre citing real sociological issues that are informing their reasoning for embracing this type of behavior. Also in our cultural conversations, we have ministers and comedians and other folks who embrace this sort of practice. Stacey, thank you for joining us with that from washington as the debate over discipline continues. Disciplining children in the u. S. Continues. Theres breaking news to bring you now. We have just had a press release in from the u. S. Central command that says they have been conducting more air strikes in iraq and syria against Islamic State. To read you from this statement, it says u. S. Military forces continue to attack isil terrorists in iraq using a mix of bomber aircraft. Theyve conducted five air strikes tuesday and today as well. They point to air strikes west of baghdad that destroyed two Armored Vehicle weapons. They mentioned southeast of irbil destroying isis fighter positions. These were conducted as part of the strategy to degrade and destroy Islamic State. Thats got to be one of the key topics of conversation as World Leaders gather in new york this week at the u. N. General assemb assembly. Another is gender equality. It starts with elevating poverty promoting education for girls and womens health. Two women sat down exclusively with bbc to talk about efforts. World leaders meet here in new york this week. The main topic is air strikes in syria. As advocates for rights of women and children, do you worry about the impact of air strikes on the most vulnerable . I always worry about war and its impact on women and children. The World Community has learned those that pay the highest price are actually women and girls. Our children. I do worry. Whether boko haram or the taliban, it seems as though the right of girls to an education is under threat as never before. How much do you both worry about this threat . Were among the first to raise our voice against abduction of girls in nigeria for instance. Only crime these children have committed is to reach ambition for education. We do not only worry. I think thats too short to call it. We are outraged that this is being done to girls simply because they have ambition of educating themselves. More from the u. N. General. Baron of the buildout.
