8:02 am
comments made in interviews by prime minister boris johnson in which he said it was a bad deal that needs renegotiating and that presidents. was the man to do so as president trump right is it was a bad deal it wasn't a great deal iran was was and is behaving disruptively in the region and i think this one guy who can do a better deal for years trump was quick to seize on what appeared to be a change in u.k. policy oh i respect florists a lot and i am not at all surprised that he was the 1st one to come out and say that later though this statement is clarification the prime minister supports the j c p o a that's the iran nuclear deal the iranians aren't currently in compliance and we need to bring them back into compliance it all comes at a time of growing tension the u.k. france and germany have now joined the u.s. in declaring that iran was responsible for the drone attacks on saudi arabia's oil
8:03 am
installations meanwhile iran's foreign minister mohammed job as the reef says a meeting between president trump and president rouhani will certainly not take place this week but he says iran will propose a new peace mechanism it's calling the hormuz initiative which will consist of all the countries in the gulf under a u.n. umbrella you believe it should be owned by the countries in the region by the u.n. umbrella addresses a number of concerns 1st in the u.n. umbrella dresses the disparities is size power. user but. he's just about it isn't it always do even if you do the g.c.c. as you know developments regarding iran are moving extremely far and president trump is likely to devote a significant part of his speech to the general assembly on choose day to the ongoing crisis james. at the united nations hillary mann leverett is
8:04 am
a former white house and u.s. state department official she says european leaders have failed to protect the 2015 iran nuclear deal. there is no proof the french the british and the germans are not even waiting for a un or international investigation which the saudis have themselves called for 'd the e.u. 3 as they're called the germans the french and the british are coming out jumping the gun not waiting for investigation to say that iran must have done it there's no other explanation well that really underestimates as they have for years what the yemenis have been capable of doing and i think we all have underestimated what the yemenis are capable of doing much to our much to our peril nobody is really interested in continuing with the iran nuclear deal the including the iranians but i think the europeans have taken a real gamble throwing their weight behind president trump in some sort of new multilateral deal because trump is not interested in a multilateral deal he is interested in by lateral deals where the u.s.
8:05 am
has overwhelming leverage against the party that it's negotiating with so trump wants a deal with with iran and then he's going to turn on the europeans and they're going to be left out in the cold so this is a really calculated calculated policy that trump is pursuing and the europeans are really now on full display for their weakness they can't even protect what they said was their landmark diplomatic achievement with iran which was in their utmost national security interests the whole process really is in tatters. world leaders have been attending the u.n. climate change summit to try to prevent a global irreversible catastrophe the summit part of the general assembly asks countries to accelerate reforms a new u.n. report has found commitments to cut greenhouse gases must be at least tripled to meet the goals of the 2015 paris agreement at least 66 countries have signed and have signaled their intent to achieve net 0 carbon diet dioxide emissions by 2050
8:06 am
but 40 nations representing a quarter of global emissions have refused to improve their current climate plans by next year a deadline set by u.n. chief antonio terrorists their inaction drew a scolding from teenage climate activists gretta to bird join a hole has been following developments from the united nations. i'm announcing that earlier this morning we have filed an official complaints under the convention on the rights of the child's. world leaders don't like being told what to do much less by a group of school children including a certain swedish teenager who decided to take them to court my name is to get the timber and i am 16 years old and i'm doing this because well it is off failing to protect the rights of the child by continue to ignore the climate crisis a summit on climate change is the centerpiece of this year's general assembly and grettir totenberg if stand strong. it's
8:07 am
a shift in emphasis 1st secretary general antonio terrorists who came to office focusing on conflict resolution but instead has watched a peace escape the likes of syria yemen and libya with a new cold flick looming in the gulf it is that sense of urgency but i have to say the secretary general didn't do it alone i think all you had to do is watch the millions of people especially young people that were in the streets on friday and the secretary general's fully aware that he may have been speaking but in the back there were millions of young people screaming and pushing and demanding action that it takes children to call world leaders to account on something like climate change says a lot about the state of global diplomacy as it does about the ever more elusive search for consensus that the u.n. and this vast gathering are supposed to be about 193 countries represented more than 500 side events
8:08 am
a blizzard of activity but how much can actually be achieved for the diplomat and u.n. weapons inspector richard butler anyone who walks into an assembly like this and thinks that i can get what i want from it selfishly and take it away put it in my pocket. is not living on the same planet that i'm living on interdependence is the name of the. again finding solutions that shoot a larger rather than a smaller number of people is what this place is about and the moral imperative to do so is the case. that an assembly of this magnitude mobilize the imperative to act on climate change is not shared by president trump who attended a parallel meeting on religious freedoms instead a deliberate attempt to divert attention from a cause he doesn't believe in critics said an attempt that doesn't appear to have worked jonah al-jazeera at the u.n. in new york dozens of people have been killed at a wedding party in afghanistan during an untied taliban raid backed by u.s.
8:09 am
says strikes the operation by afghan forces happened in the most a kind of region in helmand province of helmand official says the afghan army was targeting a town about hideout close to a wedding celebration the u.s. military command says explosions from al qaeda weapons and suicide vests likely killed many people following the strikes let's get the latest from our correspondent in kabul rob mcbride so rob they've been conflicting reports about the death toll for us in this attack and also what happened exactly. that's right foley yes i mean officials here are still trying to work out exactly what happened obviously what it's obvious is there has been a large loss of life as you mentioned there in the musicality district this is a taliban stronghold deep in helmand province in the south of the country the country's ministry of defense says it is trying to investigate trying to get to
8:10 am
exactly what happened but it is sticking with its original statistics that some 22 foreign fighters it's now calling them fighters were killed in a further 14 captured but it does say that it is investigating there's reports of civilian casualties now what we do know is that there was a combined ground and as strike against these targets some of the reports talk about a double targeting and that the 2nd target that was hit was in fact this wedding party now a number of local officials are saying that in addition to the fighters who were killed and they do except that there were fighters in the area it seems they are saying that there possibly more than 40 people who had been attending this wedding party were the victims had actually been killed now it's very difficult to verify this but pictures being carried by one of the main agencies and which are now reaching us here in kabul do seem to indicate that a number of women and children are among the dead and also among the injured so
8:11 am
it's difficult to verify the original source of these pictures but if they are authentic then it does seem to confirm this wedding party was hit so it is being investigated just to add a further twist to it if you like the ministry of defense is saying that if the wedding party was hit if these civilians were killed then it may have been by the air strike or it may have been as they put it by the explosion of a cache of weaponry that they say also went up when this attack took place so it is very very murky we're still trying to get to the exact details of what took place there foley head which seen an increase in violence in afghanistan in the lead up to the presidential election in just a few days now. that's right there has been a general increase it has to be say it goes in cycles the last couple of days that tended to be quite quiet and then you get reports of this attack and the fear is of
8:12 am
course that as we get closer to the election we may see an uptick in violence once more it has to be said that also coinciding with this there have been new figures that have just come out by the country's ministry of health that show that in 27 that last year that there were 3300 civilian casualties caught up in the fighting between the 2 sides in the further 14 and a half 1000 civilians injured which is pretty staggering figure and already we know that 2019 has the dubious reputation of having more civilians killed by coalition actions but then by the actions of the taliban now tomorrow wednesday is meant to be the last day of campaigning here and then all of the political parties go into this period of silence as it's called so the last couple of days people have time just to cool things down to work out who they're going to vote for sadly on the military side of things there's no such a quibble and there is no plans for either side to disengage militarily and we have
8:13 am
to wait and see what happens fairly rob thank you very much rob mcbride live for us in kabul. still ahead on al-jazeera donald trump throws a support the same everybody has demonstrations past saying no to foreign mail nigeria moves to protect local dairy farmers but the bad could end up hurting consumers' pockets. hello the season is changing in europe is just about to change in turkey but you see precious little elsewhere from the caspian east west and so it's still quite strong the sun's giving the low thirty's the most part we got the low to mid forty's in most of iraq and although there might be a change in weather type in the eastern med come thursday and just
8:14 am
a hint there as yet the levant is also fairly quiet and that's true through the arab peninsula but in the arabian sea because the southwest monsoon is going so you tend to trigger this time the year tropical cyclones and there is one is not a particularly big one is heading towards the coast of oman it will affect the and i'm a 0 with a strong wind in a few showers but is mainly in fish is going to be the potential for flash floods in particular where the ground is higher it affects no one else on the 5 much bigger poor trout up towards the u.a.e. but beyond that i think nothing remains quiet reza humid in southern africa we should be sings back to where the now we said missing an awful lot more cloud the wind up from the south is disappointingly cold record if you need 20 in durban $24.00 there in cape town as a breeze comes out of the interior and pretty much widespread sunshine as yet not even daily showers.

8:18 am
a city of egypt was in turmoil until a city took over into a 1013 was interesting is that when sis was asked about the protest movement in egypt he said basically this were people affiliated with political islam and that political islam was given a chance in 2012 in egypt a reference to the muslim brotherhood when they took over and that it was rejected by the egyptian people he didn't mention the young protesters who took to the streets over the last few days denouncing the legacy of president there but saying that it impoverished the nation that he along with the military elite embezzled public funds and this is creating some concerns among the egyptians who are willing to take to the streets on friday in another. denouncing president but the people who are concerned say that because of the strong endorsement from the u.s. president sisi could use that political leverage to further clamp down on this can

distance and his opponents. 3 u.s. congressional committees have threatened to push ahead and try to obtain documents relating to president trump's dealings with ukraine he's accused of pressuring his ukrainian counterpart to investigate the family of political rival joe biden u.s. media say trump ordered his acting chief of staff to withhold a payment to ukraine in the days before he was scheduled to speak to vote museveni ski denies any wrongdoing by canada has more from washington. the chairman of 3 congressional committees have signed a joint letter sent to the secretary of state might pompei are demanding that the transcript of president trump conversation with the ukrainian president be presented to congress in another move as well the house intelligence committee has subpoenaed the acting director of national intelligence to appear before it on thursday to explain why he's been withholding the complaint made by
8:20 am
a whistleblower from congress something that congress contends he's legally obliged to do the whole issue has galvanized the debate about impeachment a number of democrats were reluctant to go down that route including the house speaker nancy pelosi arguing that it could be politically explosive however the latest incident concerning the phone call with the ukraine has 2 more democrats beginning to insist that the impeachment process is the only way to go the key day though is thursday when the acting director of national intelligence is quizzed by members of the house intelligence committee 5 e.u. countries have come up with a temporary plan to take in large numbers of refugees and migrants rescued from the mediterranean italy malta france germany and finland which currently holds the e.u. presidency have agreed to share rescued asylum seekers
8:21 am
a deal will apply until and e.u. meeting on october 8th when they hope many more states will join the arrangement italy's new interior minister says the idea was that migrants would be sent to various e.u. states within 4 weeks of disembarking using a cota system and those countries would handle their asylum requests italy and malta have consistently refused to allow rescue vessels to dock they say they are unfairly bearing the burden of migrant arrivals sagna gaggle has the latest from. it may be one step towards a solution but it's one of the delegates seemed to be satisfied with as they came up with a blueprint for a temporary emergency mechanism in order to resolve the migration crisis 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 other member states to try and take in more
8:22 am
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 migration policies have played a part in that but there is also another solution and office certainly of taking in a higher quote from france and from germany they said they would be prepared to take 25 percent of any asylum seekers who landed here italy would also be prepared to take 10 percent but that is they say because they've received tens of thousands of people on their shores nevertheless trying to persuade other member states to take in more people will certainly be a challenge and also will no doubt rile up our. voices in other countries throughout the european union. representative for the united nations high commissioner for refugees in greece he says other countries must do more then send
