hello. if public commients from world leaders were all it took, there would within days be a dramatic and binding internional agreement comb climate change. all day at theun, they have been declaiming,ut rhetoric is easier than the technical fine print. the aviaon industr is promising to have essions by 2015. china said cuts but sd no specific tget. president obama faces a battle pushg through anythingn the u.s. from new york, the bbc's plomatic correspondent. threat to life on te planet is clear. most sentists, all govements agree, global warming must be limited, greenhse gas emissis cut. president obama feeling the potical ht of amerin resistance to big change, ce to the uted nations with an appeal, not a omise. >> our generation's response to th chlenge will be judgeby histy, for if we fail to meet it boldly, swiftly, and

together, weisk consigning future generations to an irreveible catastrophe. >>ir travel is certainly not the world' rst polluter, but it is high visible. after years of pressure, major airlines now say thewill cut issions in half byidcentury. cleaner, less thirsty engines will have to play a big par >> we've got to demonstratehat we will invest in new technogy. we wil invest in rearch. weill play ourart. >> although r travel produces less than 2% of their commsions now the number of flights i climbing and there is a sgestion the industry uld produce quarter o emissions in the developed world by 2015. the airlines say tat emissions will notevel off until 2020, but the nw pledges to cut drastically after that, down by 50% by 2015.

today's uned nations is really all abt pressure on big polluters to make dramatic concessions. that puts bo the american and e chinese presidentirmly in the spotlight. tether, their countries are responsible for 40% of all global emissions. so all eyes on china's president as he arrid. unt n, the leader of the world's largest population has refud binding pledg, blaming the ch west for historic pollution, but the chinese to worry about climatehange, espeally now ey have ovtaken america as tal polluter. the stagging pace of china' industrialation means eir emissions ll keep rising, but now, they are talking about limiting that arise. s president, thenited nations increased energy efficiency so that emissions wod grow less quickly than his economy china's concession should improve proscts for a new

global climate treaty copenhagen in december. but for that, everyone has to give ground. >> prident obama's agenda at the united nations switched swiftly from climate chae to the middle east hcalled on all sides to act with a sense of urgencys he embarked on talks wi israeli and palestinian leaders he isaiming to restart the stalled pce ocess that the white house -- but the white house is playi down any expectations of sudden breakthrou. >> president obama's motorcade anthe security that always comes with adersrom a violt part of the worl brought the streets around the hotel where the meetin was held to a standstill unfortunately for prident obama, his hope of a middle east ar gridlocked, too. for months,is plan was to us the unitedations general assembly this week to start a brand new ace pross, aimed at giving the palestinians

independence alongsi israel. once they were all inside the waldorf-astoria hotel, the meetingould not have been easy. he has hiliatingly refused repeated american requests to keep an old promise out freezing constructio in the occupied palestinian teritories, so the palestinia president will n take par in direct talks. president obama mu have been exasperatedby what he had hoped wod b a major suit had come a photo opportunity. >> despite all the options, spite all the history, despite all the mistrust, we have to find a way forward. we have to summon the will to brea the deadlk that has trapped generations o israelis and palestinians in an endless cycle ofconflict and suffering. since 1967,srael has been ilding homes for jews in defiance of inrnational law.

the settlement to brea up the land, making it harder for paleinians toeclaim it. more meetings lie ahead. backt his hotel,t is not certain that predent abb couldeliver any kind of deal as pestinians are hopelessly split bu first, both palestinians and israelisave to talk. >> we did not wake up withur conscience acng. we're lking about interests, talking about a region, talking about peace, and ware talking about a quirement for peace. >> it ll nothappen today in new york, but sorting out the conflict tters because it has unique capacity to export trouble, not just in the mdle east, but in the wider wld as well. that is why president obama made it a priority when he camto officeand that i why dpite all the difficulties, he cannot give up now.

we will be elored much more n that in just a few moments. >> security forces inhe honduran capital are tking control ofhe area e around the brazilian embassy. th is significant because the sted esident has ten refuge tren return to the countr in secret. thousand of his suorters clashed wi police tside the buildi. >> fightingn the streets of tegucigalpa has thousands of supporters of the ousted president gathered outsidthe brazilian embassy. he had taken refuge inside. he said he was ready to dlogue with t interim governme, but today, he got his aner, and it was hisollowers whoore the brunt. >> there are prisoners throwing ar gas bombs and shootings. they are corpt. we want them to help utake out these pele.

>> mr. zelaya's supporters are hoping grps may help and that brazil might media, but the current president hasiven that idea srt shrift. >> the bzilian embassy should ve them asylum or hand them er, and i want toarn our friends in the red and black shirtshat we are not going to allow property to be daged. >> brazil has called onhe intim government in honduras to negotiate, and hehimself has call for a new dialogue. >> myresence here is an opportity to turn honras into what the people want, a society with teeth and dialogu and consensus. >> but with a cfew in the capital and riot pole on the streets, that csensus sems a distant prpect. >> burglarie in southfrica have increased by 27%, and overall, crime is up, and the

numb of murrs has fallen by more than 3 the figures comerom the test crisis is 6 -- the latestrime statistics. the threat om dissident reblicans,ho rioted for three nights last week shortly aer three people were jailed r plotting a rocket attack on a police patrol. the bulgarian ambassador of france is toe the next head o the united nions cultural agency. at least 270 migrants, manyf them minors, have been detained in nthern france, a police cleare out the makeshift camp own as the jungle. has been housing asylum seekers trying to smuggle themselves intbritain. there were some clashes and rrests as local protestors

tried protect them. >> summer carried, so were drged, but mainly, they just followed quietly. amid e shouting from protesters and t scuffles with police, the sense of bewilderment, the dream of starting nelives inbritain over. activists yelled for therrests to stop, b the lice were under instrtion to and did th camp, and they follow thr orders to the letter in the pcessing line, each migrant told h story, hopin it would be enough to win him asylum. more than quarter of those rodedup are mnors, children who have been livi in this squalor for months. on a tour o the sitethe french immigtion ministers said the closers sends a song message to traffickers tha squashing no nger offered a ticket to eland.

the authorities we quick to wipe o all traces of the camp, but the migrants themselvesill not be cleared away so easy. looking at allhe bathetic bit and piec still lying around here, it islmost unimaginable to thinkhat th used to be home to00 migrants. t smething does not adup. policetoday arrested 276 people, so whe did all the rest go? some of the detaid man will be gin asylum in fran, but all want to me to britain. >> some sayhey have family members in the u others said ey hadhe percepon that it would be easier to find a job in th u.k. e perception that the u.k. is the land of milk and hone seems to arise in ese migrants. >> manyill simply be deported. no matter, they say. they will jttry again.

they still have theieye on britain. >> to come forou on "bbc world news," is long time comi. probablynother two weeks bere final results in the afghan presideial election. at about the allegatis tat the recnt is just a waste of time? fit, one of the gatest rivalrs in chess has been renewed. 25 years ago,asparov played karpov for the world title in a mah that lasted five months. now, in valencia, that are laying again. this time, they're mting will betrictly limited to 12 games. >> kasparov vs. karpov. the chess lovers, this is as grt as the game gets. loinghorns 25 years since their first storic encounter.

today in spain, th resumed their rivalry with the first of 12uick fire games. when they first met, though, it was more at it. the year was 1984, and for nearly half of, karpov's impregnable play against kasparov's material brillianc the match w called off after five months ter fears the players were exhausted. by the time ty met ain the followinyear, kaspov was rey to take the crown,a title he held until 2000 he then swappethe thrust of the chess boarfor th of russian politics, briefly beg arrested and thenimprisoned for potical dissent. >> this regi is criminal.

>> in jail, hisld opponent visited m. heir rvalry is intense, but the respect mutual. today' conte, a reminder why for so many of the 1million people w will be watching, they remain theest players ever to have lifted upon -- lifted apawn. >> this is "bbc wod news." headline for yo this hour -- world leaders attending a united nations climate summitn new york have been warnetime is running out to tackle global warming. palestinian and israelieaders have agre to restarmiddle east peacealks after an appeal from presidenobama. ba to our coverage of those ke middle east talks and our ecial correspondent, so the thomas, is i washiton president obama told today that his special envoy george mitchelwill be meeting israeli

palestinian negotiats to get next week,nd geor mitchell himself fced a gre deal of optimism about the challenges ahead. > while differences remain between them, we have made very substantial progress, and witho being argumentative, i would not charaerize their potions as being so far aart right now. second, it is precisely because there ar still differences, d that we neeto move forward thathe president elected to hold this meeting for the very ppose o seking to impress upon the parties e need for urgency and t cse these fil gaps. >> the need for urgency -- that is how to think abouthat needs to be achieved. withe is the director for middle eastffairs at the instite of world affairs. settlement -- that is one of the big obstacles, isn't it? we do not s any obvious news

by netanhu to step back to give ground on settlements >> it is a very tough issue becausnetanyahu is between a rock and a hard place. he has a coalition govement that does not want to stop selement, and at the sa time, he caot afford have a brea with the prident of the unitstates by defying hm, so i ink on theettlement issue, some real creative ambiguity wi beecessary so that the americans a the palestinians can accept me formula by which at least some selements ae stop, or there is temporary halt. after all, this is a real estate problem, so what is robus with the land is the key to success of the peacprocess. >> i like tt phrasereative ambiguit weid hear george mitchell saying let's not talk about preconditions. this could be deliing of the settlement iue in a way. >> i think the will probably

be a deal linkingf the settlement issueecause it was a reest by the united ates, by the presidt of the united states, and what they are taing about, senator mitchell and the president, is starng final status negotiation so the israelis have alwa claimed that all of these issues will be solved in final status negotiations, so ihink there is a bit of fging and a little bit ofmbiguity beginning to emerge. >> what more ha to be given from t arab side? saudi arabia,or example, culd play mor of a key role here. >> sdi arabia is absotely vital to everythg t u.s. is ying to do here. i think the sdis might be more forthcoming in presenting to the israeli blic as well as to themerican public the content of the framework that was psented first in 2002, which in fact says that once the palestinian issue is resolved, alof t arab states have

commitd themselves to ful normegular relations wit israel, and when the pestinian-israeli taty is signed onhe white house lawn, that all the othe arab states that have not yet signed shld be the to also begin the process of nmalization, so it needs be marketed. >> you sid both sides are reluctant to play their cards at this point. can you sum up why there is that feeling? >> both sides are each other's present victims, and they not want to let go of their painnd trauma but athe same time, until they know what is the destination, wre are th going? what will theinal outcome look like? what guarantees, asrances, economicid -- theyre not going to show their final ncessions, what they are reallyeady to give. they areoo wea traumatized, so iis not part ofwhat they will bable to do. >>e hav to leave there,

but thk you very much. >> thank to you both. now, the head of the commissio investigating the widespread legations of fraud in last month after anlection is sayi t final rests will not be known for 10 to 14 ys. western governmenthave pushed for ty want whoer is declared winner to be ses a credie victory. that is not a poin of ew shared by ma afghans. in the capit, the bb's alan little has been gauging opinion. >> it is one of the hoest times of theear. e muslim stival that marks the end of ramadan, the monthf fasting. it is a te to celebrate. wha do afghans think of presidenti election so ot by claims of corruption? the message from the mosques is clear. >> we cannot expect to have a proper weste-style election in afghanistan. the situation here is n

favorable to that. we cannot mee all the expections. we shouldccept the election results, even if its only a small achievement. it is rd to find afghans who want to face the auma of a second rnd. this bus driver andis family voted for thopposition candate. a second und runoff is the only ho for him. even so, they aregainst it. >> i don't know wt we would achieve in a second round. all costs money. a lot of people here areoor. e should expect -- accept the results, -- spe money on other ings. >> i afghanisn, eleions bring vience. itook real courage toote last month, and fehere want to do it again. i went to the home oa prinent human rights activist, surely a credible, transparcy -- transparently cln process is vit. >> why would i benthusiastic abo the second round?

would it be a free and fair second round? if yousk ordiry people, they ar tired of the situion. let's al just get it ov a period we need to have a normal life. >> the electio rules might still demand a second round, t many here believe th turnout would be lower and the resu less credible ill than that of the clot firsround. if there is public mand for a second round or a long drawout investigation into fraud, it i coming from outside the country. governments wo have troops here fighting and in some cas dying have to keep persuading eir populations back home th it is worth the sacrifice. an ection that is widy pceived to be corrupor even stolen makes testifying bere efforts harder >> the 2h london fashioneek ends tomorropeered around 60 events in six dashowcasing some othe biggest names in british fashion. many designers are actually

younger than thehow itself. in 25 yes, it has made tradition of bnging to e for some of th brighter young ople in thindustry. we went along to get an idea of at the future mayook like. >> london fashion week, 1984. a young man completely stole the show. hicollection was amazingly designed. the emergence as a young fashion sts set the trend for the nt 25 years since then, london ha developed a repution as a maverickf fashion shows -- edgy and novative. >> they have wonderl fashion schoolhere that really teach them to put creativity and

talent and imagination first, and i think that isery helpful and also because there'less emasis here on selling. >> ldon has a reputation for nurturing new tale. in 1993, an organizationas set upo provide funding for young esigners, and working for atlanta wellers launching her rst collection. >> it is a great opportunity because there iso many more peop coming because they want to see something new and creative, and london is the kind of creati fashion city. >>nd as the experience of one reason credit goeso show, appearing at fashion week can do wonders for your career. this is a young british designer christopher ca's latest colltion. he first appeared at london faion week three yearsgo, and no his designs are on sale

here and talk ow. that is really what loon fashion week is desied to do give young designe the opportunity be spotted by all the big buyers. afte all,ashion is a serious business, and it is aut geing the clothes off the catwalk and on to real peopl but in these tou economic time it is harder than ever break into theashion industry withigh street stores now able to reproduce the lates trends as quickly, people c get the fast and fixed at fractioof the price. in the past, london fason week has be criticized fo being vague on ideas but low on professialism. ther were claims it lacks mmercial credibility, and top designers startedoing elsewhe. but this year, e topesigners are here in force.

the presce o major labels is cruci. the british -- is the british fashion council is to cvince the industry that loon is still worth watching. the challengnow is to show it can attract big names without fcing new talent off e runway. >> just briefly, rinder of our main news. prident ama has warned the united nations climatsome in new yorkhis generation will be judged bhistory if it failso ckle global warmg. china's presidt says devoped countries ha to take accoun of the needs o developing ones anhelp them me use of clean energy technology thanks for being withs on "bbc rld ns." >> funding forhis presentation isade possible by the freeman foundation of new york, stowe, vermont, and honolulu, the newman's own foundation, the john d. and catherin t. macarthur foundation, union bank, and "bright star," a newilmy jane campi.
