8:03 am
organizations it reminds me a bit of done you know this famous of a rescue operation where british soldiers were rescued world war 2 they the british government is going to hire a fleet of. aircraft to get customs back to britain and you mentioned in the beginning of the show what about other nationals i think i'm not one of the present show but it doesn't is not limited to british holidaymakers i think if you have a ticket with thomas cook with the l a times. they will get you back to where you came from and they will do that close to the date when you wanted to travel anyway ok so if i show up with a german a swedish or danish passport i'm glad you don't think i don't think a they're still a member of the e.u. the u.k. is and i don't think they'll turn you away and customs should go to this website we've put padded i want to where we could put it on the screen right now it's yes
8:04 am
there it is thomas koch dot ca dot co dot u.k. this is where customers can find details on how to get home ok this new dunkirk as you put it's going to be very expensive as it is it's going to be costing roughly $100000000.00 pounds ironically $200000000.00 pounds apparently were missing from the rescue package to save thomas cook and so half of it will now be half of what was actually missing one always been to get customers back ok no the talks to throw thomas cook a lifeline. 11th hour they apparently were close and fell apart what pushed this 178 year old company over the line well 3 things really dead breaks it and the internet if you will i mean the the internet travel traveling habits have changed and you remember that 20 years ago people go to a travel agency a book that package holiday that today everything you do everything on the internet
8:05 am
so that business has come down and if for example if you look at thomas koch and that they've been in trouble for a while and they've been trying to sell the ad line business with which was profitable they were trying to sell thomas cook the allen telescope and call condo to the german wing to shore up their travel agency business because they had only sold the 1st half of this year only sold 57 percent of their planned holidays what they wanted to sell and that's basically because of their customer base in britain was waiting what happens with breaks it and all the time certain to it all and certainly if you mention condor it's one of the german subsidiaries of thomas cook it's applied to berlin for an emergency loan what's it looking like well it looks like they will be getting this emergency loan they have but they are profitable they're a healthy company and i'm sure there will be at some stage there will be a buyer for them but the focus today very much is on is on thomas cook itself the
8:06 am
british government by the way couldn't step in mainly because as people close to the talks say they couldn't set a precedent because there will be other big companies that will be in trouble in and off the braggs it and to set a precedent to bail out a large company not a good idea or what could be a ripple effect yes there hurdle for sex a very much. and there are more on that story of course out today now to some of the other stories making the news at this hour israel arab political parties have backed the former military chief any guns as the next prime minister the unusual move is an attempt to block benjamin netanyahu from returning to power israel's president has been holding consultations on forming the next israeli government that following last week's inconclusive election. in brazil a funeral has been held for an 8 year old girl killed in a favela shanty town and rio de janeiro she was hit by

a stray bullet allegedly fired by police the burial following a weekend of protests over police violence. tens of thousands of people in slovakia have joined a rally calling for a ban on abortions abortions are currently allowed up to 24 weeks of pregnancy but parliament is set to begin debating proposals to restrict that later this month. while hong kong has seen another weekend of fiery clashes between pro-democracy protesters and police sunday's protest again peacefully enough after demonstrators took over shopping mall but later the protests turned violent with one group vandalizing in the nearby subway station and setting barricades ablaze riot police responded with tear gas and made multiple arrests as the protests continued late into the evening. tensions in hong kong boiled over again sunday another weekend of police dispersing protesters after demonstrations descended into chaos.
8:08 am
for the 2nd day in a row cameras caught pro-democracy activists beating a man they perceived to be on the other side. as so often the protests started out peacefully crowds gathered to sing what has become the anthem of the protest movement glory to hong kong. the atmosphere was largely festive as protesters gathered in a shopping mall some folded paper origami birds as a symbol of hope and peace. then they produced the chinese flag and began trampling on it in a clear provocation aimed at beijing the sense of anger here is very real easy even for a very tired we can't give up our rights a lot that i'm not we're entitled to them. things escalated when some protesters
8:09 am
began vandalizing a subway station linked to the mall riot police then moved in to clear the building and the confrontation moved out onto the street the sides have been facing off for nearly 4 months protesters accuse beijing and the hong kong authorities of undermining democracy while many demonstrators are peaceful others say resorting to violence is the only way to be heard that hope what's up to some protestors are using force and clashing with the government the both methods of protesting are important it's not that one matters more than. the demonstrators were also planning to disrupt travel to hong kong's international airport but a massive police presence meant that that did not materialize. as night fell the weekend ended the way so many have recently in clouds of tear gas and smoke from burning barricades. it's the malls in our interior ministers from you countries including germany france and italy are meeting today to decide where to resettle migrants rescued in the mediterranean italy and malta have been preventing n.-g. o.
8:10 am
rescue ships from entering their ports all to itself is seen an influx of asylum seekers over the summer they say they're being forced to endure present life conditions there here's a look now at the story of one man who went through the experience a number of years ago and is now striving to help others. there's some mama train 6 times a week in the hot maltese sun. he is a sprinter and his goal is to compete in the olympics. when he's not training there's a volunteers with spark 15 a nonprofit set up to help integrate the increasing number of asylum seekers on the island. there is a himself led ethiopia through libya and across the mediterranean 6 years ago he says his experience as a refugee allows him to connect with those who cross the same waters. they feel more open to talk to me what they want you know. i'm not the big thing is for them
8:11 am
but it's like for them it's something something good. for me there's a story as a story of success but a recent surge in arrivals to europe's most densely populated island is testing that you members asylum system in 201720 people arrive by boat to malta this year that number was 2260. this swell in arrivals is due in part to the former italian government's policy of refusing port to the rescue vessels that save migrants in the mediterranean this has made mulder the closest safe harbor to the north african coast now other e.u. countries have been accepting a lot of these arrivals but only on an ad hoc basis this has left malta to shelter thousands in makeshift accommodations like these. there are over a 1000 people living in the whole far camp of 8 people per container. the residents i spoke to had the same complaints long lines for the bathroom and only pasta to
8:12 am
eat. they are worried that winter will be unbearable and we don't have any close we don't have to cross into the sea. we don't have anything if you. can just cross because i don't have ice in the morning and lives like that big problem. but the worst part for some is not knowing how long they will have to wait to find out if they can stay in europe. over the weekend celebrated 55 years of independence from the united kingdom the nationalist party held a rally and party leader spoke of economic success both major political parties advocate tolerance toward asylum seekers the nationalist party is proud of how has handled the influx of people fleeing war and persecution in africa. but says he
8:13 am
wants the e.u. to create a system to automatically distribute those who arrive by boat. migration is not something which comes and goes. it's a. climate change. the year of pasta be. ready tackling this issue in knots season by season. there's a says he hopes he can serve as an inspiration to those who just arrived and those who are bound to come looking for a better life as miami is like looking for freedom. you know what you need what you make you what freedom you want to make it. there's a feels he is where he wants to be now but he knows he is one of the lucky few. more about the story now with all over because he's from the migrant rescue organization see watch joining us now here in the studio good morning to you thanks for coming in good morning your organization has been blocked from bringing in
8:14 am
rescued migrants to italy and to malta especially in the past will the summit that's taking place today change that but what are you expecting will make your work easier i just returned from sicily where our rescue ship to see which 3 is still confiscated since the end of june alongside 5 other rescue vessels and at the same time last week within 5 days only our surveillance plane with just 17 cases of distress in the central mediterranean with just one single rescue ship out there that is constantly involved in rescue operations and european union that is not lifting a single finger to rescue those people fleeing so it will take a lot more to make our work easier actually ok so so you're saying that he's doing nothing right now to help you rescue migrants at sea. there has been minor improvements but at the same time the criminalization of civil scenesters pretty much ongoing and their european union had over a year now it's a softer situation and so far there is not
8:15 am
a lot happening what countries are criminalised your work. i mean i think there is a lot of spotlight on it to lead lately but we have to see that it's a european issue in a lot of waste and this comes when we talk about distribution but it also comes when you talk about the criminalization ok at this migration meeting in malta a lot will depend on germany's interior minister of course a whole for let's take a look at a german proposal to alleviate the situation right now during the past weeks german interior minister hosts a whole for this sounded conciliatory rather unusual for him up until now he was the one putting the brakes on migration now at the meeting in malta they hope for is set to propose that germany accept a quarter of all refugees rescued in the mediterranean. back in germany this is raised objections from within his own ranks objections that say hope for strongly
8:16 am
projects. rise if you can take on these in profile and reject the criticism of this procedure. it is unbelievable that a federal interior minister has to justify saving people from drowning i think most . as a whole 1st said that the voluntary admittance of refugees rescued from distress at sea will continue to be only a very small percentage of the total number of migrants germany has only admitted about $200.00 such people during the last 15 months. the german government hopes that the proposal will see refugees and private rescuers spared pointless days of idling at sea. its virtues nor it is truly necessary that we manage to put together a coalition of those willing to help us what we need to work towards a system that functions properly. the way it is now with this haggling on the phone
8:17 am
about who will take on how many people whenever a private rescue ship is somewhere in port has to happen and it is disgraceful that . the german interior minister can leave the meeting in mountain in the hope that germany's willingness to help will inspire other countries in the e.u. . ok it's not just germany italy france even portugal's joined this coalition of the willing we just heard about what other countries do you want to see follow suit i mean in our opinion of course it would be great if this would be like an all european idea that other states would follow but we have to look at the reality of the last year or so if there is a coalition of the willing than just a coalition that has to step forward ok the coalition of the unwilling would include or be led by even the former a tele an. interior minister. he says your ship and others like it are
8:18 am
a taxi service for migrants and threatening referendum to expand the criminals ration of your work are you worried about that no we're not worried about that today i have been. ations in the last 2 years none of these could have been proven true because they're just not true at all and we were facing from an illustration for quite a while now and so far there is always a way to go on and that's also when needed since the european union is not rescuing so it is civil sea rescue organizations that have to do that ok so billy is among those also saying when your group rescues people see he has to question why not simply take them back to the poor sick and i mean that's a quite easy answer there it's international law maybe mr seguin is not really aware of that but people that are arrested at sea have to be brought to the nearest border safety and this for sure cannot believe this is also an opinion that is widely shared. through all the world basically ok what about the.
8:19 am
current political situation broadly in the new whereby a mandatory resettlement program for migrants doesn't have the political backing to get it through do you see the voluntary system working. i mean there were options on the table for quite a long while there is more than 90 cities across europe that declared themselves as safe havens they don't. to take refugees that were rescued in the mediterranean and it's the european union that has to make that happen over core coffee from the migrant rescue organization see watch thanks very much for coming in today thanks. well we're going to iran now their country has warned the united states to stay out of the gulf region the u.s. is sending in more troops following last week's attacks on saudi oil installations around president hassan rouhani says the presence of foreign forces or heightened insecurity but he also intends to present a peace plan for the region to the u.n. later this week. the iranian leadership surprised and joy this and here
