:03:58. > :04:03.would be killed because they are allied with the West.

:04:27. > :04:32.Turkey fears the fighting may spread into its own territory. The tension

:04:42. > :04:42.struggling to cope as more waves are prepared to come, seeking solace
:04:43. > :04:54.from a growing threat. Let's go live now to our reporter.
:04:55. > :04:59.You said the Turkish forces have also been involved in some clashes
:05:00. > :05:07.with Kurdish would-be fighters, a lot of history here, of course. A
:05:08. > :05:13.lot of history, Philip, and a lot of simmering tension which has come to
:05:14. > :05:17.the surface. With this influx of Kurdish refugees. Kurds and Turks
:05:18. > :05:23.fought a long and bloody civil war, and there was a fragile peace which
:05:24. > :05:27.is still just about holding but it is shaken by this refugee influx, so
:05:28. > :05:31.as tens of thousands of come across the border, that has led to Kurds on
:05:32. > :05:36.the side wanting to go the other side into Syria to help fight with
:05:37. > :05:39.the Kurdish militia against the Islamic State, but Turkey fears they
:05:40. > :05:47.would then join them on the other side in Syria, and that could lead
:05:48. > :05:53.to fresh attacks here in Turkey, so that just shows you the sensitive
:05:54. > :05:58.allegiances in this region which are very much coming to the surface.
:05:59. > :06:03.Tension is boiling over as the Islamic State onslaught continues
:06:04. > :06:06.and the refugees continues to come over. You have humanitarian impulses
:06:07. > :06:13.I suppose and national security needs, as it perceives them? I'm
:06:14. > :06:22.sorry, I missed that. You have Turkey's humanitarian impulses take
:06:23. > :06:26.me in the Syrians but also have their own national security

:07:12. > :07:15.other hand, real security issues and security tensions to deal with, and
:07:16. > :07:25.that is the very tight balance they have got to strike. Thank you for
:07:26. > :07:28.your report. Staying in Syria, the former British prime ministers Tony
:07:29. > :07:35.Blair has said sending in ground forces to fight Islamic State should
:07:36. > :07:39.not be ruled out. President Obama repeated promise that no combat
:07:40. > :07:42.troops would be deployed against Islamic State but Tony Blair said
:07:43. > :07:47.without boots on the ground, Islamic State can be defeated. It needs
:07:48. > :07:54.someone's boots on the ground, for sure, could be the local fighters.
:07:55. > :07:57.Iraqi forces. The Kurdish forces, people who could do this may be, so
:07:58. > :08:02.that's why I'm not saying necessarily in this situation, it
:08:03. > :08:07.has to be the USA or the UK, but what I am saying is if you look at
:08:08. > :08:16.the responses that we have, we are already giving significant help on
:08:17. > :08:23.the ground. We the broad alliance of nations. If necessary, we should not
:08:24. > :08:27.rule out the use of some particularly special for scalability
:08:28. > :08:30.is. My point there was very simple. All of our experience teaches us
:08:31. > :08:35.that unless you are prepared to fight these people on the ground,
:08:36. > :08:39.you are going to contain them. Eat them. Let's hear more about what's
:08:40. > :08:49.happening on the ground because with me is our reporter. -- not beat
:08:50. > :08:56.them. What are you hearing? I talked to the Kurdish government president
:08:57. > :09:01.and he said himself, his entire cabinet are picking up arms and
:09:02. > :09:09.joining the fight. It shows how dire the situation is. Honestly, there is
:09:10. > :09:11.fighting going on between Kurdish fighters and Islamic State militants
:09:12. > :09:18.and he told there have been able to push them back but in the worst area
:09:19. > :09:23.there is fight going on and many villages have been found in the
:09:24. > :09:27.hands of Islamic State, which is why many refugees flocking to the
:09:28. > :09:31.Turkish border and trying to get to the other side. Its international
:09:32. > :09:36.communities don't help them, if the city 's fall, it's a great boost for
:09:37. > :09:44.Islamic State militants, because the city has been cutting off the route
:09:45. > :09:47.between those under the control of Islamic State militants full if they
:09:48. > :09:53.capture the city, they could move from one side to the other side.
:09:54. > :09:57.That's why, we are seeing fighters, Kurdish men, queueing to get back
:09:58. > :10:02.into John Battle, but are they also add matched in terms of weaponry?
:10:03. > :10:08.What does Islamic State have against them? In the past few months,
:10:09. > :10:14.Islamic State has been able to get their hands on very sophisticated
:10:15. > :10:20.heavy weapons, given to the Iraqi armies, and they capture them. With
:10:21. > :10:25.the air attack on them, many of them, with those weapons, moved back
:10:26. > :10:30.to Syria, and have been attacking the Kurdish reason. -- region. They
:10:31. > :10:38.have heavy weapons on the other hand. The Kurdish fighters just have
:10:39. > :10:44.AK-47s. I was there in Syria and they are fighting with a basic
:10:45. > :10:48.military weapons at this moment. The people you have been speaking to in
:10:49. > :10:51.that situation today, what do they want from the international
:10:52. > :10:58.community? Air strikes? Ground troops coming in? What I was hearing
:10:59. > :11:04.for them, they said they had people on the ground, they need help, most
:11:05. > :11:08.likely, what they need is air strikes. Something like what
:11:09. > :11:18.happened in Kurdistan. A few weeks ago, almost last month, it wasn't
:11:19. > :11:19.the American air strikes, IIS militants could have taken over the
:11:20. > :11:22.capital. If they take over the militants could have taken over the
:11:23. > :11:27.it would be a great boost for militants could have taken over the
:11:28. > :11:33.the militants, and they will be more powerful. That's why the local
:11:34. > :11:38.leaders are pleading for help from the international community,
:11:39. > :11:42.possibly air strikes. Thank you so much for giving us those details for
:11:43. > :11:47.some real watch what's happening there. The supermarket giant Tesco
:11:48. > :11:51.has suspended four senior executives including its UK managing director
:11:52. > :11:56.and launch an independent investigation after was found to be
:11:57. > :12:00.massively overestimated its profits ride ?250 million. Tesco is the
:12:01. > :12:06.world 's second biggest retailer with stores across Asia and Europe.
:12:07. > :12:14.Here is our business correspondence, Emma Simpson. Never mind the prices,
:12:15. > :12:20.it turns out Tesco has been getting its own figures wrong. A huge
:12:21. > :12:24.accounting error has come to light. The new boss has only been in the
:12:25. > :12:29.job for three weeks at Tesco HQ, and his first interview today was not
:12:30. > :12:34.the starting would have wanted. The early indications are 250 million,
:12:35. > :12:38.based on that, that's the guidance we have given Boro must stress at
:12:39. > :12:42.this point in time, until I've done a full investigation, I don't know
:12:43. > :12:45.that it was happening. It's obviously a very serious issue but I
:12:46. > :12:49.will investigate and we will speak to anybody who can help me
:12:50. > :12:54.understand exactly what's gone on. The news stunned the city. Tesco's
:12:55. > :12:59.share price was already on the slide and today it fell to its lowest
:13:00. > :13:04.level in more than a decade. Confidence in this company is taking
:13:05. > :13:07.a huge knock. A warning like this is extremely rare because it's the
:13:08. > :13:11.heart of the city, the premise that when we are told members, we can
:13:12. > :13:16.rely on those numbers. Here we have a company telling us that a
:13:17. > :13:22.fundamental mistake. This accounting error is not down to business at
:13:23. > :13:25.the, Tesco thinks it is countless commercial income earlier than it
:13:26. > :13:29.should have done, making profits look higher. It is hugely damaging
:13:30. > :13:37.and the last thing this company needs. Sales of been falling, and
:13:38. > :13:40.so, too, have profits. It is still a biggest retailer in Britain by far
:13:41. > :13:43.the Tesco has been losing shoppers, squeezed by the likes of Waitrose at
:13:44. > :13:52.the top and the discounters of the bottom. This is a business under
:13:53. > :13:55.huge pressure. The new CEO has moved quickly. He has suspended four
:13:56. > :14:02.executives including this man, Tesco's UK boss. They are stepping
:14:03. > :14:08.aside to allow a full investigation. It is yet more
:14:09. > :14:12.turmoil for Tesco. Is this financial error a one-off or part of a wider
:14:13. > :14:19.problem? Questions the new boss has to deal with, as well as winning
:14:20. > :14:25.customers back. With me as Graham, from the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
:14:26. > :14:29.I know you have been writing this all day full somehow Du character
:14:30. > :14:35.rise this mistake? Mistake, error, no one is saying this before. It's
:14:36. > :14:40.one of Britain's biggest companies. The second biggest retailer in the
:14:41. > :14:45.world and a ?250 million, to seemingly disappear from profits, is
:14:46. > :14:48.unprecedented, really. The key is how complex Tesco is. It has
:14:49. > :14:54.hundreds of suppliers, dealing with them on a daily basis. And what has
:14:55. > :14:59.happened here is somewhere along the line, deliberately or accidentally,
:15:00. > :15:08.the way their kind for the dealings with their suppliers has gone very,
:15:09. > :15:14.very wrong indeed. You are seeing it could have been a series of honest
:15:15. > :15:19.mistakes. This is a company under pressure. This is the third time
:15:20. > :15:29.that they have warned on profits in the last two months. Tesco in the UK
:15:30. > :15:38.is losing sales. This is a business is desperately trying to protect
:15:39. > :15:44.itself and protect its profits. At the least it has misled shareholders
:15:45. > :15:50.and the city. There is big followed in Britain. In terms of Tesco as a
:15:51. > :15:55.global brand is this damaging? As a brand that is disastrous. Tesco's
:15:56. > :16:03.brand in the UK is already under pressure. Globally it does not
:16:04. > :16:10.reflect very well. In terms of overseas it could have far reaching
:16:11. > :16:14.consequences. Tesco now has ?250 million missing that it's not that
:16:15. > :16:25.hard. A lot of analysts are speculating that the company might
:16:26. > :16:29.have to sell some overseas assets. This is very bad news for the person
:16:30. > :16:39.at the top who is one month into the job. He joined a month early because
:16:40. > :16:43.trading was so bad. He has come in and on Friday we were appalled that
:16:44. > :16:49.he was informed by the General Counsel of Tesco that there was this
:16:50. > :16:53.problem. He has now got to find out whether what happened was a one off
:16:54. > :16:59.ever off whether there is something inherently wrong in Tesco. He wants
:17:00. > :17:01.to focus on getting the stores right and this issue has come out of the
:17:02. > :17:04.blue. Tens of thousands of students
:17:05. > :17:07.in Hong Kong have begun a week of strikes and rallies
:17:08. > :17:09.against the government in Beijing. They're angry at China's plans to

:17:27. > :17:29.beginning of the boycott. Thousands of students have gathered at the
:17:30. > :17:32.Chinese University of Hong Kong to take part in a week-long strike.
:17:33. > :17:37.Students from more than two dozen universities and vocational
:17:38. > :17:43.schools are here. They say it's much more than just skipping classes.
:17:44. > :17:46.They've organised a series of rallies and public lectures on the
:17:47. > :17:51.future of democracy in Hong Kong. Their main goal is to put pressure
:17:52. > :17:54.on the Chinese and Hong Kong governments to loosen restrictions
:17:55. > :17:58.on who can run for the position of Chief Executive in three years. The
:17:59. > :18:02.Chinese Government outlined those rules at the end of August. Everyone
:18:03. > :18:08.in Hong Kong will be able to vote, but the candidates must be approved
:18:09. > :18:14.by more than half of the nominating body that is expected to be filled
:18:15. > :18:18.with Beijing loyalists. Only two or made their decision it crushed the
:18:19. > :18:28.dreams of some Hong Kong people who have been fighting hard for
:18:29. > :18:32.democracy for the past 30 years. But
:18:33. > :18:34.not all are convinced the boycott will achieve very little, maybe
:18:35. > :18:42.nothing. I think after the Chinese Government made its decision it will
:18:43. > :18:45.not be affected by Hong Kong's The city is deeply divided
:18:46. > :18:49.between those who want greater democracy and those who do not wish
:18:50. > :18:54.to antagonise the Chinese Government. Some believe having any
:18:55. > :18:58.kind of say at the ballot box is better than having no say at all.

:20:49. > :20:49.the environmental organisation E3G and former adviser to the British
:20:50. > :21:10.Government on climate change. How significant is this? It is of
:21:11. > :21:14.enormous symbolic significance. Substantively it will take a lot
:21:15. > :21:22.more organisations to make the difference to the investments of oil

:21:26. > :21:29.up on governments simply because events are driving the public to get
:21:30. > :21:33.more concerned about what is happening to the environment. We are
:21:34. > :21:39.seeing tens of thousands on the streets. Yes. But this because
:21:40. > :21:47.things are happening in their lives that make sense to them about a
:21:48. > :21:52.change in climate. What we are seeing now from all the investment
:21:53. > :21:57.banks is a huge message that the cost of removals is going through
