Save the world as we know it leaders are convening in new york city for a Global Climate summit at the United Nations german chancellor Angela Merkel saying that her country will double its spending to combat Climate Change u. S. President donald trump meanwhile he made a surprise appearance today after reports that he would skip the Climate Summit but the in question starve the event so far has been you see right there the swedish teen activist bred to bear she sailed across the atlantic on his 0 Carbon Emissions trip to reach new york feuds or before the leaders took to the stage to beg gave an impassioned address accusing them of speaking empty words here is her powerful message this is all wrong and. I shouldnt be apia. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet she will come to us young people for hope how dare you. You have still in my dreams my childhood with your empty words and yet im one of the trucks once people are suffering people are dying and tired ecosystems are collapsing we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and what you can talk about is money and fairy tales of this time of Economic Growth how dare you. There was good to make there of the United Nations earlier today when joining us for more from new york is our correspondent on xander phenomena good evening to you alexandra so. She had one question today for leaders from around the world help dare you i mean to have her words and they already made an impact. Well you write that her speech was very emotional and this emotional address and you can really literally hear her outrage and anger and alert in her voice and this speech was meant to shock the audience and to galvanize the World Leaders into action and the audience applauded and they were impressed and then either by a leader or started to pledge to do more to come thats Climate Change and to be committed to more ambitious plans goals but of course we have to mention that those speeches were prepared ahead of the summit and that every leader at camp came here to new york to present a plan that was ahead of the summit and we have also we have to say that. She was right saying that many governments here are connected with the oil and Gas Industries and that many leaders use terms like Economic Growth or job security to excuse themselves from doing more to combat Climate Change you make a good point there that the speeches delivered by leaders today they were prepared written before the event today but one unexpected event was u. S. President would trump appearing at the summit how did his presence go down. Well it was for an interesting moment when President Trump sneaked into the General Assembly everyone was surprised to listen to what Angela Merkel had to say and the Prime Minister of india what pledges they made and it was really difficult to interpret his periods here was he trying to show that hes interested in was he or was he trying to show that you know there is Something Like this meeting taking place and i come by but i dont think that that really matters what was very clear was the reaction in the audience when former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg view and special invoice for climate thing to president for his visit saying that he hopes that the conversations in the General Assembly would help president to formulate his climate poses and the whole audience laughed at that so it was clear that president obama at this woman moments was isolated at least with regards to the topic Climate Change yeah its true we go also caught a glimpse of gratitude barragan her reaction when she saw donald trump walk in the room you have been talking to climate scientists there alexandra what are they are they hoping for what are they expecting to come out of this summit. Some of them told us that its just empty words that they are very disappointed some of them told us that they hope that there will be at least sort of message a signal to the promises already made and to go because if we are not going to meet this goal of keeping the template shall go well below 2 degrees celsius and others also told us that there are afraid that all their leaders can follow the example of just not do enough or do nothing are the corresponding alexander phenomenon in new york city at the United Nations alexander thank you. For heres some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world the United Nations has announced the creation of a Constitutional Committee on syria it will include representatives of the government and the opposition the u. N. Secretary general antonio said that he hopes the committee can lead to a political solution and the countrys long running civil. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has met with his political rival binny guns after calling for a unity government now the israeli president invited both men to meet with him after recent elections failed to provide a clear winner both sides have been looking for Coalition Partners to form a majority but so far both have come up short spains and Supreme Court is set to rule tuesday on whether the remains of former dictator general Francisco Franco can be moved from a state memorial site the government wants to be buried franco in a family plot and rededicate its current grave site to the half 1000000 victims of the spanish civil war. Well here in europe leaders meeting in malta say that they have reached a deal on how to resettle migrants who were rescued from the mediterranean the agreement is aimed at easing pressure on Southern European Union countries and. It will be presented to other e. U. Member states next month now theyre hoping to resolve one of the most contentious issues that the European Union has faced in recent years. 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 dublin agreement states that migrants must seek asylum in the 1st 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 their hour over the redistribution of migrants rescued in the mediterranean its 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 lawyer to the 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 its 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 theres hope that could soon be an end to the days when rescue ships packed with desperate people turned away from here up sports. Artist take the story now to our correspondent beth reagan he is at the e. U. Refugee summit in malta good evening to you baron so this summit aimed basically to find a resolution to this debate over the resettlement of refugees so tell me a little bit about the results the core result of this gathering this meeting here in malta is just a proposal theres nothing which is practical on the ground yet the ministers say we want to establish an emergency a temporary emergency mechanism to relocate migrants from italy in malta to other e. U. Countries but this will only happen if other e. U. Countries join this coalition of the willing and if that is the case it indeed malta would be able to reopen the ports for private ships which rescue of these people between libya and italy but this is the only theory as of now the decision has not been taken. And as you said this is a Draft Agreement how likely is it that other European Union stage are going to back the plan i mean do they just plan to do the same thing as germany france italy malta in finland for example. The video a crucial meeting in october in luxembourg and all of the Home Affairs Minister of the e. U. Meet who are dealing with migration and then the judge in minister jose if i expect as least 12 maybe 14 to join this coalition of the willing and also to take migrants its clear that for example hungry in poland will not show solidarity with Italian Military but others have to and only then the closest system book in germany proposed 25 percent france would also take maybe 25 percent italy 10 and then they have to deal with the rest the 20 percent which will be relocated to other countries and we know that thousands of refugees have drowned trying to cross the mediterranean in recent years at how is this going to be handled moving forward. Im afraid nothing will change here because this mechanism this image making isnt is only meant for of a tiny portion of migrants only migrants who were rescued by private ships this were only 2000 in the last 15 months and people drowning you can only prevent that if you rescue more but the you will not send additional ships into the sea the ships will remain the same the 9 private ships which currently cruising the mediterranean camp responded very good fare at that e. U. Summit in malta and thank you. For the worlds oldest travel company the ukase thomas cook has gone bust after failing to get a last minute bailout from the British Government more than half a 1000000 people around the world are currently on vacation with thomas cook they are now stranded abroad. Vacations brought to an abrupt end these thomas cook customers in new york i have no idea how theyre going to get home. We want to show in the news to change a boys happening. To a new one as for windows no one has emailed the trains are you just one look at i. Mean man they mistrust. Not want to really pull it off can you do. They are among the 150000 brits stranded abroad after the u. K. Travel firm thomas cook collapsed sparking the largest repatch ration of precious 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 pirate appeal for a government rescue was rejected putting an end to the firms 178 year history. It is deeply distressing to me that the task be impossible to say fall off the lows loft grants and travel. Before leaving for new york british Prime Minister Boris Johnson fended off criticism he said to be ailing h. 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 cost to save telescope and 1000 jobs theyre morally bankrupt serious hotspots 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 countrys economy. This will have a Financial Lives but this is certain and we need to see it Going Forward to do it without impact. By supporting the business and be ensuring that we will not. Thats it thomas customers who are bearing the brunt of the firms closure in the short term passengers just want to board a flight and get home. It seems like the u. K. Just cant get a break what does the collapse of the worlds oldest travel agency thomas cook mean for the customers beardsley from our business just is here to talk about that were talking about what 600000 people affected and this is the war just peacetime repatriation effort in the u. K. So how are these people going to get home right so it looks like not all 600000 are stranded necessarily in terms of not being able to get home some of them may be flying with other airlines its estimated about 150000 are going to need to be lifted back home i guess youd say this is going to be taken care of by the British Government its even got a name this operation does operation matter horn and its running until october 6th in terms of who is going to pay for it that will probably be handled through the Insolvency Proceedings to go along with this whole matter they actually have had some practice doing this before because the u. K. Flarm on our collapse in 2017 stranding thousands of passengers so theyve had a run dry run or a real run and now this is the bigger deal and i mean were talking about the worlds oldest travel company so how in the world in the collapse is right probably through one of the oldest of reasons that businesses collapse they cant pay their debtors and thats what happened here theres a pile of debt more than 2000000000. 00 euros a year and when you have so much debt you have to service it you dont have enough cash on hand to do it then borrowing new money gets more and more and more expensive finally creditors said we need new cash infusion now we need to be sure that you have this cash they were able to provide it and so thats where we are a lot of that debt came through a merger in 2007 with another another major travel agency my travel there actually ended up having to write off a lot of those assets in may they still had that debts and then they didnt have the cash on hand to be able to weather some normal storms that come up including things like turkey was closed off for a while to try. More or less a lot of stuff going there there was also some issues with heat the heat wave that kept a lot of passengers from flying and then some Bigger Picture issues such as people booking their travel differently to get this through i mean you go on people say they dont need a travel agency anymore to help them theres this big elephant in the room brecks what role did it play right thats a good question everyones asking this and even the c. E. O. Thomas cook said you know this may have weighed on british travelers minds this summer when they were judging whether they should go abroad or not and thing is people still are traveling and brits are still traveling and even older travelers want to book these packages but what breaks it did however is it made the pounds by less of other currencies that made their operating cost more expensive and again it may have created this sort of downward pressure on flyers but it wasnt really the main reason and there are knock on effects here for example the german subsidiary of thomas cook is the Airline Condor what are they doing so condor is still profitable has been profitable theyre still flying theyre not flying thomas cook passengers however they are asking the German Government for a bridge loan basically to survive to get a long report say its about 200000000 euros the German Government is the discussing it there is a precedence for this the German Government extended a bridge loan to air berlin you may have remembered several years ago right they ended up filing for insolvency so they did go under they actually repaid that loan with interest several days ago so i think theres a good chance that the British Government im sorry the German Government will try to extend that to a condo or so that it can keep going while an airline that repairs its debts Stephen Beard is always thank you thank you.
