10:03 am

10:05 am
there from thomas cook why didn't his company get the lifeline charlotte it was looking for. well indeed a very emotional statement there and that's what we've been hearing from the travel industry this morning of course in the u.k. very emotional reactions to that bankruptcy so thomas cook has been and debt for a while now millions and millions indeed and the u.k. government had been in talks whether to rescue thomas cook on not indeed as we mentioned the oldest travel company in the world so that also of course enormous and enormous impact on the u.k. travel industry and on other businesses here in the u.k. and in the end the u.k. government said the transport secretary said that this morning that they just didn't believe that thomas cook could come out of that debt that they didn't believe that thomas cook could ever stand on their own 2 feet again and that's why in the end they decided not to rescue the company and i think we also have to keep
10:06 am
in mind that brics it plays a huge role at the moment there's a lot of uncertainty surrounding businesses and the u.k. government here didn't also want to set a precedent saving thomas cook rescuing that company at a moment when the u.k. companies might struggling where they have would have to rescue more and more companies in the future ok charles thanks so much for bringing us up to date on this story for us in long. we have much more on that story coming up in our business news with guard offers a preview now on some of the other stories around the world today a school classroom has collapsed in the kenyan capital nairobi killing at least 7 children dozens more were injured reports indicate a number of people may still be trapped inside the wreckage the elementary schools located in a poor neighborhood in nairobi where makeshift buildings are common. in

the us president donald trump has joined indian prime minister narendra modi for a rally in houston texas tens of thousands of indian americans on hand for that event which was organized by modi's supporters in the u.s. it comes with modi facing international criticism over a recent crackdown in the disputed kashmir region. in israel arab political parties have backed former military chief benny gantz 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 government following last week's inconclusive election. well world leaders are gathering today in new york city for an emergency climate summit that ahead of the general assembly it starts tomorrow tuesday the u.n. is calling it a race to limit climate change or race the world it says can win but for those
10:08 am
living on the front lines for example in the arctic circle the stakes of climate change are of course high in there always in our capella go off a small bar which is home to the world's northernmost town people there are experiencing the various consequences of climate change 1st had something to say they already claimed lives. in. the cracking sound of the carving place yet was never unusual here insolvent what is unusual is the frequency with which he hear it nowadays scientists say air and sea temperatures have risen significantly in the last 3 decades and it's changing the entire archipelago. we are losing the small bird we know we are losing the arctic as we know it because of climate change and the air temperature of so risen by almost 10 degrees in the past 30 years the ocean is warmer. there is no sea ice
10:09 am
on the fewer deaths anymore here on the west coast. it's not an isolated development sea ice cover on the arctic has shrunk to almost half its size and less than 40 years. in the nearby town of long a 1000000000 people say they can see the highest changing and then a longer feel safe. in the summer of 215. child died. there was a whole apartment complex that was caught in an avalanche and things like 50 apartments getting crushed. but it was the middle of the night and nobody knew was coming. since then landslides and avalanches have become more common leading the local vicar to paint a doomsday scenario because of climate change and the different fact makes through the soil the ground some of the grace we see behind us might actually end up
10:10 am
sliding into the road the little valley. or the next thing we can see if they might all be covered in the next big landslide coming down from the hill if they just escaped one by a couple of feet last time. it's a grisly prospect and still a way off in the future but this reason to worry about the here and now rosen is eating away at the coastline forcing some to pack up and move here so this one 3rd very nice slope towards the coast one day. 30 meters disappear just. one event and that's when we decided we have to move the cabin. and many others and are hoping world leaders will act fast to limit the effects of climate change else they fear their home in the arctic won't survive. well climate challenges are topping the agenda as the un hosts
10:11 am
a climate action summit today you know your reporter joe dull roy is here for more on that good morning to you joe we saw the climate strike friday now we're seeing a special summit today at the u.n. in new york and politicians at that summit are under real pressure to deliver aren't they well tony a good teller's the u.n. secretary general has told leaders who are coming to the summit don't come with a. speech come with a plan he wants to hear practical solutions about how we're going to reach the goals of the 2015 paris climate accord now back then governments agreed to do everything they could to try and keep global temperature increases to below 1.5 degrees celcius the problem is we're way off track and the summit is all about finding concrete plans to actually reach those goals ok blabs what new proposals could we be looking at so we'll find out later today when the summit gets underway but antonio guterres has already highlighted some good examples and now they include massive tree planting so ethiopia says it's going to plant $5000000000.00
10:12 am
trees in the next year and pakistan will plant 10000000000 divesting from fossil fuel is another one norway's sovereign wealth fund has pledged to sell of all of its investments in coal and oil and gas companies others could follow suit and stopping fossil fuel subsidies the i.m.f. says that governments at the moment spend 5 trillion dollars a year subsidizing fossil fuel some governments are moving away from that like india they're cutting the subsidies on fuel and others could follow suit ok the fridays for future movement has put incredible pressure on the german chancellor all-american known here as the climate chancellor what proposals is germany going to be putting forward i'm going to merkel will be there at the climate summit she'll be presenting some of the policies that they came up with last week the german government says it wants to make plane travel more expensive possibly by increasing the tax on taking a flight currently you spend about 7 euros when you get a ticket from a plane trip ticket in europe in germany that could go up to distance and then
10:13 am
devise plane travel train tickets could become cheaper by cutting the tax on long distance trips and public transport they government plans to put more money into encouraging people to leave the car at home now the problem is that clients climate scientists and activists say what the german government has proposed is not enough so hopefully at today's summit we'll hear more solutions from other countries how about how we're going to reach that goal of keeping global temperature increases to below 1.5 degrees ok joe thanks so much for looking into this will have much more as that summit moves forward from jolt all right for stocks. it's the malton our interior ministers from e.u. 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. rescue ships from entering their ports malted sulfa seen a sharp increase in migrants over the summer and former refugees are among those
10:14 am
trying to help the new arrivals. 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 volunteers with spark 15 a nonprofit set up to help integrate the increasing number of asylum seekers on the island. there's 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. a big deal more open to me what they want but you know. i'm not doing a big thing is for them what it's like for them is something something would. talk to me there's a story is 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
10:15 am
that number was 2260. this well 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 malta 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 8 people contain. the residents i spoke to had the same complaints long lines for the bathroom and only pasta to eat. they are worried that winter will be unbearable if you don't have any growth we don't have good roads you know how much it is. we don't have anything if you go inside and see if it is in. this process because i
10:16 am
don't have ice in the morning you don't understand and so i let it drop. 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 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 has handled the influx of people fleeing war and persecution in africa. but says he wants the e.u. to create a system to automatically distribute those who arrive by boat. which unfortunately with. climate change will. be.
10:17 am
the. season. 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. there's a feels he is where he wants to be now but he knows he is one of the lucky few. let's bring in our. good morning bad idea this is a mini meeting of 5 countries not all the member states. it's only 5 because the other 22 a somewhat reluctant to agree scheme is fixed wrote us to take in migrants so it's basically the 3 big countries france germany and italy that are meeting here because they declare that they are willing now to take
10:18 am
a fixed quote high the skoda will be that still to be negotiated but this recount is hope that they will get more countries on board to take migrants but all of this is only an effort to take the migrants rescued by private rescue operations between libya and malta and italy this is only a very tiny portion of all migrans reaching europe ok now the german interior minister say offer he wants germany taken a quarter of all those refugees those numbers you mentioned rescued in the mediterranean let's take a look at his proposals. during the past weeks german interior minister horsy hoffa has sounded conciliatory on the issue of migration rather unusual for him up until now he was the one putting the brakes on accepting more migrants now say hope for is set to submit a proposal at the meeting in malta but germany when except a quarter of all refugees rescued in the mediterranean back in germany this is
10:19 am
raised objections from within his own ranks objections that say whole foods strongly rejects. the critique on these before i reject the criticism of this procedure. it is unbelievable that a federal interior minister has to justify saving people from drowning i think most of them say whoa 1st said that the volunteered mutants of refugees rescued from distresses see in any case makes up only a very small percentage of the total number of migrants coming to europe. germany has only admitted about 200 such people during the last 15 months the german government hopes that the proposal will see refugees and private rescue was 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 we need to work towards
10:20 am
a system that functions properly. the way it is now with this haggling on the phone 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 for the meeting in malta in the hope that germany's willingness to help will inspire other e.u. countries to follow suit ok so germany wants to see an end to the current ad hoc system italy under the former government closed its harbors to private rescue vessels will the summit see italy opening up a sports changing course on this. you know the key really lies in italy now that and you prove the pro european government is in charge in rome this luciano j.s that the new home affairs minister that hopes that it will even open its ports again and have an orderly procedure for those migrants saved by n.g.o.s
10:21 am
ships this is i'm a jesus not a party affiliated she's neutral. a civil servant and have previous as a. venial was a right wing populist who close to hamas and come paint on this issue a lot and now it leads back to the normal route i would say and hope that the solution is on the table today ok what's driving the push for a solution is of course the thousands of migrants who died over the past few years in the mediterranean is there a sense spared heading into this summit that they eat you could have done more to prevent those deaths you know this is of course in the back of the heads of all these people gathering here if the e.u. would take all my guns maybe less would drown that this is what the n.g.o.s and the private rescue ship the ship owners a saying but on the other hand the u.s. says if you take more migrants there will be a push fecche to pull factor people will just enter the boats in libya hoping to
10:22 am
get through the european shows and it's not clear if this heightens alone as the number of people who actually drowning in the sea ok those poll and push factors being at the center of talks today back thanks very much for that. we're going to los angeles now television's biggest awards the emmys have been handed out in the city of angels the h.b.o. smash hit game of thrones who would have thought which ended this year winning the award for best drama series billy porter became the 1st openly gay black man to take home an emmy award for best actor in a drama series pose about new york's gay ballroom scene in the ninety's 'd and the award for best comedy series went to fleabag a dark british comedy about a dysfunctional woman and her life the writer behind a serious review walbridge also winning an award for back best actress in

10:24 am
so not to be really hard and my. words are. very cute to be nominated with these unbelievable actresses who i have just looked up to and watched and long. very personally you mean so much right i mean on the good. graces of the time there. was in the running against another top favorite veep can you tell us about that yeah there were there wins with losses the storylines have been paralleling paralleling the the political situation in the us of late which has become increasingly polarized and so the character of selina miles who started out as more like a breath. has become a much more dangerous character. a lot of critics have been saying that the story
10:25 am
and the presentation of it has become a little bit base in in recent times ok it was a game of thrones no surprises there really in terms of its in terms of its victory but it didn't sweep the way many thought. is one of the biggest prize of the night but it was also in a way the biggest loser of the night it had a record number of nominations with 32 and it did win a number of creative arts emmys last night they took only 2 prizes but took on the award for the best drama series. for the last season i mean the emmys do love a good sendoff so that in a way it was no big surprise but. recently the critics have been criticizing a lot i did the last season was not received as well as the ok briefly if you could about bandersnatch. with that yeah netflix has been experimenting with interactive
