summit hoping that the world's leaders have got the message. they. use ours on a phenomena was out the summer spoke with jennifer morgan she's executive director of greenpeace international for her take on the problems. the euro 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
9:05 am
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 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 vehicle. 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
9:06 am
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 it's to britain now that country's supreme court will rule in a few hours on whether prime minister boris johnson acted illegally when prorogue in or suspending parliament earlier this month now if the verdict goes against johnson it would strike at the heart of the country's constitution questioning where the balance of power really lies between the government and the judiciary it could also see lawmakers reassemble to try and deal armor blow johnson's plans for taking britain out of the e.u. . let's go straight to the supreme court now where my colleague charlotta costs is standing by for us in london good morning to show us what's at stake today for britain and for boris johnson. well it is
9:07 am
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 break to silence it in the bricks a 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. just led to 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
9:08 am
all that would mean that the men would be back in session that m.p.'s could return to discuss all matters of breck's 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 pot meeting the other world leaders so it would be quite embarrassing if he loses especially being surrounded by world leaders 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 polman 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 and vising had 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 at the prime minister as todd his political future to getting one way or the other out of
9:09 am
the for the country barked over 31st what would a victory word defeat mean for bracks. well 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 discussed 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. the 1st come what may if he loses this case today we really don't know what's going to happen the pressure again will be on him to resign and we might see him resigning at some point we might see fresh elections what does this mean for breakfast at well then most likely we would see another extension in the brics that saga would continue beyond october 31st so much of the state today with a decision and we should know in a few hours now is
9:10 am

9:20 am
rescued from the mediterranean that agreement reached malta aims to ease the burden on the use southern members who bear the brunt of new migrant arrivals for more than a year now rescue ships have been docking and attempting to dock in italy and malta but they've been blocked leaving many vulnerable silent seekers to languish on crowded ships out at sea. on land at last in malta migrants rescued off the coast of libya a 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. 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.
9:21 am
now a deal struck by germany france italy malta and finland could finally see an end to the route over the redistribution of migrants rescued in the mediterranean it's a plan that would take the burden off italy and 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 are brought onto land have to be redistributed to kind of 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
9:22 am
to the days when rescue ships packed with desperate people turned away from here oops. so will the 5 nation also deal lead to a wider agreement among you member states to use that regard has been following the meeting on malta for us i'm afraid nothing will change here because this mechanism this image making islam is only meant for very tiny potion of of migrants only migrants who are risk by private ships this only 2000 in the last 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 the currently cruising the mediterranean. bad record there we have some sports for you now in the u.s. olympic committee has admitted it was wrong in the vilification of americans tommy smith and john carlos for their black power salute during the 1900 $68.00 olympics
