you know sense to us as been documented since 2006. often what happens is because both sides would like to intensify the war and pressure each other. on the battlefields they end up targeting areas where there's a lot of collateral damage even though the afghan government and the coalition forces have very stringent standard operating procedures or so he says it is called where they are whereas if they see and if they have intelligence both through the eyes are of human intelligence that there are you know possibilities of human civilians basically around a particular target they wouldn't target that area but often case what happens is that recently they have increased their air operations in afghanistan and you are now as you know airstrikes often lead to a lot of tragic civilian casualties so the rise in the hike in civilian casualties it has mostly to do with air strikes and also a special ops with faulty intelligence the u.k.

france and germany have joined the u.s. in blaming iran for the drone increased missile attacks on saudi oil facilities earlier this month european leaders met on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly in new york french president emanuel also spoke with iran's hassen rouhani who insists his country had nothing to do with the oil strikes well separately the british prime minister boris johnson has been putting out mixed signals about the iran nuclear deal is a diplomatic editor james bass. is the u.k. about to break seats from the iran nuclear deal there is great confusion after comments made in interviews by prime minister boris johnson in which he said it was a bad deal that needs renegotiating and that president trump was the man to do so as president from the 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 is 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 boris 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. way 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 installations meanwhile iran's foreign minister mohammed job and zarif 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 whole moves 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 consensus versus the u.n. umbrella dresses the disbanded pieces size power. he's a bug. he's just about it he's been wrong ways to even be due to 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 pays out just era of the united nations or world leaders who have come together at the u.n. for climate change summit to try to prevent a global irreversible catastrophe but all countries are committing to more urgent action to reduce greenhouse emissions despite warnings that global warming is speeding up this true a scolding from teenage activists kreta tongue as journal hole reports from the un . i'm announcing that earlier this morning we have filed an official complaint

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 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. game finding solutions that suit 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 well as he attends the u.n. general assembly shaikh mounting questions on pressure about his dealings with ukraine he's accused of pressuring the ukrainian president to investigate the family of political rival joe biden congressional committees want to obtain documents relating to the phone call in question on many democrats believe it could be grounds for impeachment mike hanna explains from washington d.c. . the chairman of 3 congressional committees have signed

quizzed by members of the house intelligence committee and other news the u.k.'s highest court is to to announce whether prime minister boris johnson's move to suspend parliament was a legal government lawyers argued last week that johnson had every right to make the move but opponents say it was intended to silence debate on bricks it as johnson tries to pad the e.u. with or without a deal by the end of the month. braving the rain for us in london as our correspondent rory challen story another important day of course for the u.k. for those challenging promise a boss johnson and his dissent decision to suspend palm and what exactly is the supreme court deciding on. yeah you're right it's a heavy rain here at the moment we could have a political fun the story being on least in about an hour's time though when the supreme court comes back and gives its verdict essentially what these 11 justices

have been decided on over the last week is whether boris johnson was unlawful in going to the queen and giving her permission to suspend 5 weeks at a crucial period in the bronx it tsonga there are 2 cases that have been heard here one being ruled by the anti bret's a campaign gene and miller the other being brought by the government both of them are appeals this is an the highest appeals court in the land but they are ok but you can involve in this same matter that issue of legality is this even something that the courts should be getting involved in is it just a simple as they say at did boris johnson mislead the queen about the real reasons for being suspending hanumant the government has always said that this was a beauty standard constitutional procedure to bring to a close one of the longest parliamentary sessions in modern times and allow

a new prime minister to prepare a platform of legislation for the next parliament the act the activists and campaign is say that's nonsense it's just a fig leaf for what the government is actually doing which is running down the clock denying parliament valuable bret's it debating time and crash out the u.k. from the european union on october the 31st. of course all of this is being fought tooth and nail by both sides of this bitter argument but if things do go wrong for the government what on earth happens next. well the government has said boris johnson has said that whatever the court decides here. the government will abide by it what they haven't ruled out gays and now the suspension of all of it so this is something that is potentially a bombshell for the u.k.

we have a situation where the sitting prime minister could have a court go against him and could decide that he sent the light to the queen would he resign if that happens he's avoiding those sorts of answers at the moment site you'll just wait for the court to make its decision legal observers don't know which way this is going to go they are certainly excited by this they think this is a key moments in british constitutional law but as they point out constitutional law shouldn't be exciting it should be very very dull when constitutional law is exciting you get an idea that something might be going wrong in the country. laurie challenges in london on another important critical day in the bronx 6 dog still ahead on al-jazeera. we meet children in indian administered kashmir the congo to school because of the government's crackdown. also

seen is a development bill it is something that the government considers necessary to promote the growth that it wants to bring of close to 4 percent of g.d.p. annually but the unions say that it is against workers' rights because for one thing it forces unions to register their memberships with the labor ministry they consider that that is a form of surveillance union membership is something that is secret it's discretionary it isn't something a worker has to divulge to their employer people are afraid of leakage of information and of ministry databases being hacked the 2nd thing they don't like is that. union voting to goes to go on strike will not will will be happening online and that they feel is also in secure they would rather have the secret balloting system on paper that exists at the moment and finally they fear that in

collective wage bargaining the employers hands have been seriously strengthened because in a case where workers make demands that the employer feels he cannot meet then the of attrition process is much more difficult for workers to go to they will have to require they will they will have to present justifications statistics extensive figures that aren't easily available they have to be obtained from public services like the greeks the system will service in order to justify asking for an arbitration so it's going to be much more the wood of workers versus the word of employers in which the workers unions feel the employers will be will be greatly strengthened. place in athens we'll leave it there for now thank you very much. kenya's government has ordered a nationwide audit of all school buildings after a roof collapse killed 8 peoples an injured 64 others in nairobi the 1st floor of
