8:01 am
we talk to an armed fighter who boasts of a license to kill those who don't follow his group's strict rules. and in hong kong they're sticking up for their own former police officers say their on duty colleagues have shown great restraint during months of protests as allegations mount of police brutality. i'm brian thomas great to have you with us after a year of school strikes it was great to turn berg's big moment on the world stage and she didn't hold back the 16 year old climate activist offering a stinging rebuke to leaders at the un climate some for a summit in new york her speech to rounds of applause as the conference discussed how to reinvigorate the stalled paris climate accords. people are suffering
8:02 am
people are dying and tired school systems are collapsing we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is the money and fairy tales of the time of economic growth oh dad you know i was. it was an impassioned speech but one of those who most need to to hear it wasn't in the audience that there were about a president donald trump that wasn't due to attend the u.n. summit. the labor leader and the water country should get together and do that and they should do it. trump made a surprise appearance but only stayed to listen to indian prime minister never under modi and german chancellor angela merkel by john thought i would send germany makes up one percent of the world's population and 2 percent of global emissions if
8:03 am
everyone on the planet were to act as we to emissions would double and everyone is more than aware of what this means therefore we want by 2030 to reduce or c o 2 emissions by 55 percent compared with levels in 1990 and in 2050 we want to be climate neutral. on the myan it's $5000.00 from 60 minutes heights is . germany's chancellor has been buffing her green credentials sharing a picture of her meeting to back on instagram. but the climate activists and other young campaign is have named germany and 4 other countries in a landmark complaint to the un says in action on climate change amounts to a violation of children's human rights lesley dumbs 2 allies can only leave the summit hoping that the world's leaders have got the message. they did abuse or phenomena was out that someone spoke to jennifer morgan is using executive
8:04 am
director of greenpeace international and asked her about her take on the promises made at the conference the year and climate summit has ended with more than 60 countries promising to do more to come but climate change do you seeing that this is an encouraging signal i think it's encouraging when any country says we're going to do more but we need every country to do more we need and then more needs to be well defined we need to have emissions by 2030 and that's the details really matter here there's so much more to do. many leaders say that they would do more but they have to think about job security and economic growth do you think that they have a point i think they're missing the point so 2 things one is the cost of the climate change impacts on economies i think is not very well calculated into the debate how much agricultural loss there will be i mean the air pollution law costs
8:05 am
as well that's one piece and the other is that actually the countries that are going to innovate and move to a 0 carbon economy are the ones that are going to have the markets for the future so those that are holding back on cars for example like germany they're going to miss out on the markets for the renewable electric vehicles. was one of the speakers who addressed. the summits today pledging to contribute more money to come but climate change in germany was always seen as a sort of champion when we talk about climate change action is this still the case unfortunately not anymore people here especially the most vulnerable countries they understand that germany is missing its target that the climate package that was put on the table will not get germany to meet that target let alone do more they need to double down they need to come back with a much stronger plan the chancellor does by the december climate cop in order to have that credibility back thank you so much well 5 e.u.

countries have struck an initial deal on resettling migrants rescued from the mediterranean that agreement reached malta aims to ease the burden on the use southern members who bear the brunt of new margaret arrivals. on land at last in malta migrants rescued off the coast of libya are finally able to disembark on european soil in many cases asylum seekers have been stranded at sea for weeks while e.u. countries argue about who will take them. europe has wrangled for years over what should happen to migrants rescued at sea the e.u.'s dublin agreement states that migrants must seek asylum in the 1st e.u. country they reach and that has been a major bone of contention for european countries that border the mediterranean. now a deal struck by germany france italy and finland could finally see an end to the row over the redistribution of migrants rescued in the mediterranean. it's
8:07 am
a plan that would take the burden of italy in malta and foresees the swift relocation of migrants to other e.u. members part of the plan could see germany taking in a quarter of those migrants to help process that asylum applications. the people that have brought onto land have to be redistributed going to their security status can be determined through a process of interviews but it's impossible to determine their legal status in such a short 4 week period so their right to asylum is for example what will be decided in germany. these are just the bones of the plan that will be put to the e.u.'s other interior ministers at a wider summit in october. for now at least there's hope that could soon be an end to the days when rescue ships packed with desperate people turned away from here it's poor. so will the malls a deal lead to a wider agreement among all e.u.
8:08 am
member states to have used banned rieger has been following that meeting on malta i'm afraid nothing will change here because this mechanism this image making isn't is only meant for over a tiny portion of of migrants only migrants who were rescued by private ships this were only 2000 in the laws to 15 months and people drowning you can only prevent that if you risk you more but the you will not send additional ships into the sea the ships will remain the same the 9 private ships reserve currently cruising the mediterranean. battery get this brief you know and some of the other stories making the news this hour france germany and britain have issued a joint statement blaming iran or recent attack on saudi arabian oil facilities the us also whole holes tehran responsible. iran has accused the european states of quote parroting american rhetoric. severe thunderstorms have hit the american state

of arizona causing flooding which left vehicles stranded and rolled blocked some areas reported marble sized hail stones officials are warning of flash flooding throughout that state. a march of the living has taken place and lithuania coinciding with the national memorial day for murder jews. the prime ministers of the country owes a moral debt to those who perished nearly all of lithuania's pre-war jewish population of 200000 were killed by the nazis and local collaborators. it's the britain now where the supreme court will be ruling in just a few hours on whether prime minister boris johnson acted illegally when prorogue ing or suspending parliament. now if the verdict goes against johnson it could see lawmakers reassemble putting massive pressure on his minority government the court is made up of a panel of 11 judges and they will make one of the most important constitutional
8:10 am
rulings in british history. let's go straight to the supreme court now where my colleague troll of a cox is standing by for us in london good morning to show us what's at stake today for britain and or boris johnson. well it is a really historical day here in great britain the supreme court will answer the question whether boris johnson overstepped his powers as prime minister when he sent parliament on that forced break and last week we followed the proceedings here where the lawyers against the government argued that johnston did this on purpose he said palin went on break to silence it in the bricks of debate to take the voices away from the m.p.'s of course the government insists that this was lawful and that they will win this case today but it is really a historical ruling that could shift the power from the executive to the
8:11 am
legislative to parliament and people behind me as you can see have been lining up since 5 am to be part of this ruling and to take part in an ok was such a historical day facing the country as the prime minister indicated how he'd respond if he loses this case. what if boris johnson loses and 1st of all that would mean that paul the men would be back in session that m.p.'s could return to discuss all matters of bricks it related johnson himself has indicated how he would react he said he would wait and watch the ruling of course today from new york from the un general assembly where he is taking paul and meeting the other world leaders so it would be quite embarrassing if he loses especially being surrounded by a world. he has said he wouldn't step down he is insisting that he would hold on cling to power as prime minister he's insisting that it wasn't illegal sending palm
8:12 am
and break but of course if the supreme court indeed rules today that he what he did was illegal that would mean that he had misled the queen in advising him to shut down parliament and lying to the queen that would be a very very big deal here in great britain and we could see pressure mounting on him to resign ok that is one of the issues another one of course is brecht's of the prime minister has taught his political future to getting abraxane one way or the other out of the for the country by october 31st what would a victory word defeat mean for breakfast. but it's very hard to say at this point let's say if you wins this case then everything would go as normal as planned he'd discuss now his plans for a new deal with the e.u. leaders in new york he then later on goes to the summit in brussels later on this month and will try to push through a new deal there to get the u.k. out of the european union by october for 31st come what may if he loses this case
8:13 am
today we really don't know what's going to happen the pressure again will be on him to resign we might see him resigning at some point we might see fresh elections what does this mean for breakfast well then most likely we would see another extension and the break that saga would continue beyond october 31st so much of the state today with the decision and we should know in a in a few hours now is a lot of recovery not for us thanks very much for that from the supreme court no longer. well new allegations of police brutality in hong kong have prompted leader kerry land today to defend the city's police force lambs that officers are under extreme pressure and called it remarkable that there have been no fatalities during 16 straight weekends of pro-democracy protests amnesty international meanwhile is calling for an investigation into excessive use of force by police against demonstrators and many peaceful protests have turned into clashes

8:15 am
conspiracy theories are rampant and when both sides meet things often get are going . oh my. i offered one is also a retired police officer when he walks through his neighborhood it is hard for him to miss messages from the anti government protesters they have set up a so-called lenin wall near his home. while they do that here it says police are murdering people but in fact the protests as a very aggressive the police are just maintaining law and order tot. mom has just returned from a long stay abroad and says he doesn't recognize his city anymore. in his spare time he sometimes helps out at police stations as a volunteer handing out food and drinks to the front line offices and while he says he understands demands for greater democracy he doesn't think they are realistic.
8:16 am
while you think he's our legitimate i used to serve in the colonial police force case out of it in the british government could decide on everything. cadwell hong kong belongs to china case at pace there are problems at the hong kong government can't solve it makes sense that beijing intervenes but i don't buy online. but fewer and fewer hong kong as a willing to accept beijing zokora to come to clashes between police and protesters escalating with petrol bombs and bricks being thrown by radical protesters and police being accused of deliberately hurting demonstrators and passes by. in a recent poll almost 3 quarters of respondents that that they thought police was using excessive violence joseph also started his career in colonial times does not agree at my time we had thought that when. write us off rowing

8:23 am
against military or civilian targets what we have learned from the militant we interviewed and some other sources is that our son has trained fighters but the group doesn't have enough immunization so it's highly unlikely that it can launch epochs in iraq i need him soon however the group has a strong influence on the rowing if uses living in bangladesh is a name that quickly and squandered sessions in the dams and you produced in to add any discussion about the group publicly. it has informants they may be camp and these include children as well ok the informants are of course very worrisome now you were out in the camps and that was a concern for you certainly after the curfew especially you heard the reports of of rapes of murders can you characterize for us can you flesh it out a bit how bad the security situation is the environment is thin so they're not and
