5:01 pm
holidays are turning into nightmares for turn left adrift and the deal is struck germany france italy and malta reach an agreement on cool except migrants rescued from the mediterranean will have more on this breaking developments from the summit in malta. great to have you along everyone her rock are we for filling our promises on climate change the answer is a resoundingly no according to published data that tracks countries climate commitments no country in the world is on track to limit global warming to 2 degrees celsius let alone the 1.5 degrees celsius recommended by the united nations but some countries are trying to reduce their impact with sweden topping the real.
5:02 pm
things this year big carbon emitters like germany france and china are currently doing a moderate job while many developing nations with large populations like indonesia are struggling even to meet previous commitments but it's the biggest and most of belt offenders such as the united states that are doing little to avert what scientists are now calling global heating the swedish teen activist gretta thunderbird has helped lead the charge demanding action from world leaders she's at the summit in new york city and she didn't hold back to listen this is all wrong. i shouldn't be up am i should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. yet you'll come to us young people for hope how dare you. you have stolen my dreams my childhood with your empty words and yet i'm one of the
5:03 pm
documents. people are suffering people are dying and tired ecosystems are collapsing we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and when you can talk about is money and fame or tales of eternal economic growth how did you. 6 a visible the agitated burka there we want to go straight to new york now where german chancellor angela merkel will be addressing the human u.n. climate summit let's take a listen to what the german leader is saying. if we stand together because we only have one planet all of us together so the on stick for action needs to be the pair's climate agreement that puts down a framework that will allow us to limit use global warming to 1.5 degrees the industrial nations are those that have caused global warming as we see it today the
5:04 pm
developing countries are those yourself the nose from that is phenomenal and this is why as we as one of the center of the industrialized countries have the obligation to our technology and the best of knowledge and our finances into stopping and global warming as we know in germany sees this responsibility on the international stage and on the national stage internationally we shall crease our funding fight global climate protection from 2 to 4000000000 euros compared to 2014. and particular we were in 1500000000 and pay those to the green financial and we're working for really only in these climate to ensure himself policy and will has been active for years and will continue to do so in protection of forests the national level we have the following situation
5:05 pm
germany. well as one percent of the global population and his hands were 2 percent of global emissions if each and everyone around the planet would act as we do it global emissions would and everyone no matter where or what this means i say by 23rd we want to reduce c o 2 emissions by 55 percent compared to the base 190-2050 we want to be to find that neutral in 2030. and to. get 2 thirds of. energy from renewables and 2022 we will phase out the last of our nuclear power plants at the latest in 2038 will face and . we shall initiate a turnaround in our transport sector over the next few years and.
5:06 pm
also as regards to insulation for example buildings we have earmarked for the next 3 years of 55 and then you're in for innovation for technology for new nobility. in installation of houses and in heating and we will invest this money in these areas and we will introduce a suit to pricing not to the extent that we are already doing it right now in the early years he and union for industry and energies and we shall also enhance this 1st at a national level and later on hopefully i also at the european wide level by pricing in a transcode and installation of buildings because we think that only if we develop a convincing pricing scheme will we be able to use. the what is left. by way of a sort of limit and will not. be. increasing that
5:07 pm
we obviously have to put down the night necessary incentives in order to take people along there are people out in the streets who protest and to try to convince us but there are also shows who are still hopeful that climate change actually exists and will have to try and take these people along we enter many have tried to do this by the measures we agreed on last friday by what we have done so far we will give a contribution to a sustainable. business and sustainable management and we should give our contribution to the. also globally thank you. thank you i think you any fluency presenters represent members of the private sector chance the america they're addressing the u.n. climate summit in new york let's go straight to our correspondent of a nominee who has been listening in to what the chancellor has been saying all
5:08 pm
excited the chancellor reiterated the parts of her plan that the government has agreed here in germany to support a 60000000000 dollar climate's a package aimed at getting germany back on track a package incidentally that met with a lot of criticism here in germany is saying it's not going far enough what are other world leaders where you are proposing. well that's of course something that we have to see today but i think that it's very telling that the german chancellor was one of the 1st leaders to address this summit we have to say that the german government has agreed on is not enough in the eyes of many experts and i also talked to many young activists coming from germany and they told me that they are very disappointed by those measures because dave believe that germany is not going to not only know its needs its goals by 2020 but
5:09 pm
it may also know its meet its cold cold by 2030 so that is a lot of criticism here however the fact that the german chancellor was talking as one of the 1st leaders here reflects the believe by the secretary general that it's there you appear instead have to take the lead here and germany is certainly hoping to burnish its image as a climate change champion let's talk now about. alexandra if i made a visibly impassioned we heard her speak shortly before the chancellor she has the world's attention but what i wonder is how much influence does she have over the world leaders who are going to be meeting right behind you. while you're right she's only only
5:10 pm
a student but at the same time she is the face of the global movement that is getting stronger and stronger as we could see last friday when we feel 4000000 people students but also activists and adults gathering all over the world to demand bold action bold climate change action and i have to say that i was very impressed by has speech a speech a very thin. strong and passionate speech and you can really fence the alert the rage and the anger in her speech that's actually normally noto way of addressing her about it was a very clear address to the world leaders and now we will see if there are going to address those issues and change their policies and to try to step up their efforts to combat climate change alexander of phenomena reporting from the un climate
5:11 pm
summit in new york thank you. next or other top story the world's oldest travel company thomas cook has collapsed after failing to secure a last minute bailout more than half a 1000000 people worldwide are currently traveling with the firm britain's civil aviation authority is beginning an operation to bring home some get this $150000.00 british customers that are currently stranded abroad now what does the collapse of the world's oldest travel agent a thomas cook mean for customers across the world not just british customers let's try to get you some answers now joining us isabella bathurst a travel lawyer in london who can help explain what the demise of thomas cook means for those on holiday or with trips booked so good to have you here with us miss batters the number of people affected is enormous we're talking about more than half a 1000000 people around the globe britain says they're going to take care of the
5:12 pm
british customers is going to be the biggest repatriation in peace time what happens now to those thomas cook customers that are abroad. well there's customers that covered by what's called the atl scheme a specialist insurance that same place when things do go horribly wrong as they have to here it's devastating but there is a plan in place to put those holiday makers back on planes at the time they were to come home preferably but it's made me want that financially in terms of putting them back in the position they would have done this not happen such that they can get the flight home but also have their accommodation paid and deal with those customers it's a huge task and it's one that will be put in place in all its is put into place but i'm wondering who does it cover it compass mainly u.k. . holiday make has the same temps don't necessarily apply to those who are not u.k.
5:13 pm
and in those times i think it would be insurance that would fall into place for countries that were not part of the u.k. so it is specifically for you u.k. custom is so what can the other customers do because there are about i think 400000 other passengers that are stranded holidaymakers that are certain that are not british who do they turn to is there an e.u. hotline to work and they go well there is a thomas cook hotline through the civil aviation authority for the u.k. customers that might shed some light but really fast fast folks of course they're in travel insurance in their home country and if they don't have that is there an authority that they can turn to i mean the u.n. has of course rules regarding for instance when your flight is delayed is there something like that in place in this particular situation. well that would really be up to the administrators for thomas cook for countries outside the u.k. i can anybody comment on the u.k. and as a saved the normal rules would think the insurance would come in place so when
5:14 pm
people haven't got insurance the 1st thing would be to contact the agent came they take but holidaying with it which is what i would say you can see this here and any rule or legislation that is put in place in another country will be put in place by that role for it is the status of a inable understood now let's take a look at hotels the situation at hotels now because some travels have of course taken to twitter as one does now a days to share some of their concerns or one of his out a few of those are to you so my parents are being effectively held hostage in their hotel and loans are already due to fly home this evening and being refused seats on a flight until they've paid the hotel in full they have already paid thomas cook in full not as bad as those locked in rooms in tunisia and then another one my sister in law is in they are being told that they have to pay for their hotel as thomas cook won't be or they won't be allowed to leave i'm just wondering here is that
5:15 pm
even legal to hold these passengers against their will i said yes. unfortunately that's a side effect because of the concern by those who tell us that they're not going to get paid under the atl skip the scheme for u.k. for the holiday makers they will be paid in full but that information when it's happened so quickly hasn't fed through yet so that information is being fed through but i think the advice at the moment is if there is any additional cost that holidaymakers incur they keep those receipts and claim it tough to words but it shouldn't be happening but unfortunate those who tell us they're under the same consent they're not going to get that payment but under the skin the atl scheme i mentioned earlier they will be paid and also any holidaymakers who incur costs will have those costs reimbursed as well heart isabel about her search ravel or turning in a london thank you for your insights. thank you. and bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. the united nations has

5:19 pm
up with. john and m o j the didn't you italian of interior minister and she's somewhat more moderate than salvini and now say they have a saying he was too far too far on the right side and now he will go with this new path and be rude see if that really plays out to help the migrants now in conclusion and bands of course thousands of people have drowned trying to cross the mediterranean in recent years a very perilous journey how will this now be handled in the future do we know more about that. but this emergency plan agreed today is only a very tiny fraction of the whole problem this applies only to 2000 people a year and coming 40000 people over the mediterranean every year so this is only have a minor fraction and it's not about the whole assad and system this is still in shambles
5:20 pm
