the first we heard about it was waking up this morning for the bus that we were getting into corfu townitish holidaymakers because of the collapse on thomas cook. lets return to the special climate summit in new york. the un secretary general says the race to stop a climate emergency can still be won. but the teenage climate campaigner greta thunberg was not so optimistic. she accused world leaders letting young people down. the bbc‘s laura trevelyan has more. welcome to the united nations in new york where their teenage climate activists greta thunberg really caused quite a stir when she accused world leaders of stealing her childhood and her dreams by failing to act on climate change. joining me now to talk about all of this is a 14—year—old timothy. timothy you are an advocate for the united nations children's find on the environment, thank you for being with us. you are welcome. tell me, what's your reaction to greta thunberg's speech? i'm so proud of her, because i think she delivered a wonderful and inspirational speech, and i think world leaders are more inspired by her speech. w

the first we heard about it was waking up this morning for the bus that we were getting into corfu townvice—chair of the american society of travel advisors. he gave his reaction to the impact of the thomas cook crisis. thomas cook is one of the large global players, and the impact around the world is being felt. there is an estimated 600,000 travellers, both current and future, who will be impacted by this event. yes, and what about this impact around the world? we're used to, in the uk, travellers having some kind of safety net. that is not necessarily the case elsewhere. so essentially people are having to go through their credit card or their travel insurance if they have got it. essentially, people need to keep their paperwork. yes, travel insurance is the first and foremost avenue of success for travellers who are impacted by this. if they have it, they should use it, and contact the supplier. other situations are that they can contact the credit card company for at least some form of restitution. that is not a global standard. it does apply for some regions and not others. for in

the greek government says it has chartered 15 aircraft which will fly to the islands of corfu and zakynthos on greece's west coast and the island of kos in the aegean in order to start lifting home some of the roughly 50000 travelers left stranded in greece by the collapse of thomas cook and the government estimates that almost half of those people 22000 will have been repatriated in the next 72 hours the government says that the funding to allow thomas cook travelers to enjoy their holidays until the end of their booking and to fly home has been secured and that has been voiced just like that in the passive voice it hasn't been specified whether that money is thomas cook money or whether it is public government money and it is very likely that it is the latter the greek government is very keen to secure the reputation of greek tourism in this crisis because britons are one of the highest by nationality frequency visitors to greece roughly $3000000.00 visited greece in 2017 the last year for which figures are available leaving behind $2300000000.00 in revenue and that national figure is 2nd
