a very powerful message there from mr emberg let's go now to new york city to did abuse correspondent alexander phenomena who is covering the u.n. climate summit alexander get it to work has the world's attention unquestionably but what i wonder how receptive are world leaders to her message. so she's of course only a student we have to say but she's also the face of the global movement a movement that is getting stronger and stronger every day as the at least it seems to sway when we just remember last friday where 4000000 people to go to the streets to demand bold climate change action and her speech here was a very emotional and it was very impressive she is that you can really sense and hear in her voice her anger outrage and
6:04 pm
a hope that you know that something can happen i was very impressed by but have way of addressing the world leaders but of course we need to add that many of them are well connected with the oil and gas industries and many of them argue that it's for them not to not really possible to to do as much as as demanded because they are as they say concerned about jobs in their countries. alexander let's talk about u.s. president donald trump who made a surprise appearance at the climate summit he wasn't scheduled to attend here he turned up and listen to some of the speeches what you think he changed his mind. so that's what's really surprising moments and unexpected change of peace plans because as you said he was not expected to attend to this summit but he sneaked

reporting from new york thank you. next to our other top story the world's oldest travel company thomas cook has gone bust after failing to get a last minute bailout from the british government more than half a 1000000 people worldwide are currently on vacation with the travel group and now they're stranded abroad. vacations brought to an abrupt end these thomas customers in new york i have no idea how they're going to get home. we want to show in the news to change a what's happening. to a new one as for windows no one has emailed the book to find it just one but i. know a man they mistrust. not wanted really the full board old fool can you do. they are among the 150000 brits stranded abroad after the u.k.
6:08 pm
travel firm thomas cook collapsed sparking the largest repatch ration of british citizens since world war 2 a total of 600000 customers worldwide are currently on holiday for years thomas kicks struggled with maintaining debts and fierce online competition and 11 fired appeal for a government rescue was rejected putting an end to the firm's 178 year history. it is deeply distressing to me that the test will be impossible to say for all of the most loft grads in travel. before leaving for new york british prime minister boris johnson fended off criticism he said to be ailing thomas cake would have created a moral hazard union slammed the decision. i tell you really to question the morality of a government that is prepared to spend spend more spend more money now and repatriate to people and bring them back to britain that it would have caused to save so much hope in $1000.00 they're morally bankrupt
6:09 pm
a serious hot spots around the world are now bracing for the shock waves for example in greece some officials have warned that thomas ticks collapse could be a tsunami for the country's economy. this will have a financially but this is certain and we need to see better going forward how to do it without him but he is by supporting the business and be ensuring that we will not help long term approach but it's thomas customers who are bearing the brunt of the firm's closure in the short term passengers just want to board a flight and get home what does the collapse of the world's oldest travel agent to thomas cook mean for customers across the world not just british customers let's try to get you some answers now joining us isabel about her 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 ms about her as the number of
6:10 pm
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 british customers is going to be the biggest repatriation in peace time what happens now to those thomas cook customers that are abroad but those customers to cover it by what's called the asshole's game especially since shortens that same place so when things do go horribly wrong as they have to care it's devastating that there is a plan in place to put those holiday makers back on planes at that time they would have come high pressure play that it's may he won that financially in times of putting them back in the position they would have found 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 then things from that will be put in place and it's put into place but i'm wondering who does it cover. it covers mainly u.k.
6:11 pm
. holiday make this the same temps don't necessarily apply to those who are not u.k. and in those times i think it would be insurance that would fall into place for countries that were not possibly 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 where can 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 the s.s. protocol is their own 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 un 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.
6:12 pm
i can only really comment on the u.k. and as a saved the normal rules would pay the insurance would come in place so when people haven't got insurance the 1st thing would be to contact the agent to taint a date but that holiday would get way which is what i would say to conceive is here and any rule or legislation that is put in place in another country will be put in place by the federal sar 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 you know a few of those to you so my parents are being affectively held hostage in their hotel announcer already due to fly home this evening and being refused seats on a flight until they pay 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 lines or already they are being told that they have to pay for their
6:13 pm
hotel as thomas cook won't be or they won't be allowed to leave i'm just wondering here is that even legal to hold these passengers against their will exist yet. 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 react so that information is being fed through but i think it flies at the moment as if there is any additional cost that holidaymakers incur they keep those receipts and claim it afterwards that it shouldn't be happening but unfortunately those who tell us they're under the same consent they're not going to get that payment but under the scheme the atl scheme i mentioned earlier that they will be paid and also many holidaymakers who incur the cost will have those costs reimbursed as well where it is about about her search for attorney in a london thank you for your insights thank you. want to tell you now about some of

you're watching the news still to come. germany's a blind a football team taking on the best sides on the continent and the european blind football championship. that coming up but 1st e.u. interior ministers meeting in mata say they have reached a deal on how to redistribute migrants rescued at sea interior ministers from germany france italy and malta have been meeting to try and thrash out a deal for resettling migrants pulled from the mediterranean both miles and it lee have blocked engineer rescue ships from docking in the past often leaving asylum seekers stranded on board for weeks at a time. and correspondence banta record is at the e.u. refugee summits and malta and joins us now good to see you abandon this summit has debated the resettlement of refugees what are the results. like triggs
6:16 pm
often say the un migration policy is similar to a fortress and actually the ministers meeting in a fall to see if i'm slow just behind me but they as a chief to open that little back door to this fortress if you will they established an emergency plan to relocate migrants which were rescued by private rescue ships in the mediterranean but the ministers didn't step tell numbers no concrete code has agreed this shall only happen in october other e.u. member states will join the 4 minutes as of today and then talk about real a quota so no numbers but lots of hope and lots of happy faces here because this is a kind of a breakthrough for 4 years nothing was moving in the migration field and now there's at least some movement exactly there's an opening there as your reports at
6:17 pm
the end what role has drawn the played in these negotiations. over the home of his minister of germany made a u. turn compared to last year then he teamed up with but his savini the right thing populist interior minister of the time of italy and now he's saying germany is offering a quota of 25 percent and he will take migrants from these boats he's now teaming up with. john and m o j the didn't you italian the interior minister and she's somewhat more moderate than salvini and now. saying savini was too far too far on the right side and now he will go with this new path and if that really plays out to help the migrants now in conclusion and parents 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
6:18 pm
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 half a mind fraction and it's not about the whole assad and system this is still in shambles if you will and the human is have a long way to go to have a reform and to have a scheme that operates in the future and compassion a company is complying for all of the 28 member states or 27 member states of the u.n. the future hidebound trigger the reporting from malta thank you to the emmys now television's biggest award a t.v. hit series game of thrones went out on a high note winning the top prize for best drama series done british comedy fleabag
