Constitution that gives significant autonomy to kashmir is at the heart of why the region joined india in 1947 it allows the Regional Government to make its own laws except in finance Defense Foreign Affairs and communications that means the rest and so the state live under different laws from the rest of the country in matters such as Property Ownership and citizenship now the Central Government plans to split up the region into 2 parts. And one and the uk which will be directly governed by new delhi the government has put parts of indian and ministered kashmir under security lockdown and has deployed tens of thousands of additional troops internet is blocked and phone lines are down. 3 prominent me politicians 2 fem former chief ministers are under house arrest revoking indian administered kashmir special status is expected to garner strong reaction this is a straightforward pandering to the hindu majority electorate in india b j p o the Hindu Nationalist Party came to power in the elections in may this year with enhanced majority based on promises that it would remove these special provisions which they say that under to the muslims of india so there is a clear Political Polarization here with the ruling party trying to pander to its hindu vote bank. They have already been protests as the spread on sunday about the governments plan to hurt article 35. 00 in article 370. 00 is our basic constitutional right we have made an agreement with india the basis of these articles and now they are trying to derail vocals articles this is an injustice to us. Are not going to tolerate we should just. Disputed kashmir is one of the most militarized areas in the world india and pakistan claim it as their own for now the region is on the edge as it prepares to come. While a member of parliament from indian administered kashmir has criticized the governments move. Theyve made the constitution precarious theyve removed both 375. 00 which are rejected in the constitution they have finished the constitution and the us and pakistan has responded to the Indian Governments move saying this pakistan strongly condemns an rejects the announcements made today by the Indian Government regarding the Indian Occupied kashmir the Indian Occupied is an internationally recognized disputed territory no unilateral step by the government of india can change this disputed status as an shrines in the United NationsSecurity Council resolutions pakistan will exercise all possible options to counter the illegal steps. Has more from was a pakistan administered kashmir. Well the only option available to pakistan are death moment or tried to send a signal to the International Community that it is time for arbitration between india and pakistan something that india has rejected all along because it was back in 19 kevin to do after the war of 1971 that india and pakistan agreed to settle all outstanding issues bilaterally however for the past few years there has been a deadlock and there are 2 tides are not able to get back to talk particularly because of indian objections today across pakistan they have a major protest in all 3 days as far as and of course a condemnation of the indian move it should be understood that the board that both the army they are eyeball to eyeball busy across the line of their white which of course been a bone of contention the pakistanis also accusing the indians of using banned munitions ridge to call cluster Munitions India and of course have denied that the pakistani president had also called for a joint session of parliament to be held on tuesday that of course will come out with a unified response from both the Opposition Party that relish the government and of course it will be important to see what kind of announcement is made by dr now the only option available to pakistan is the diplomatic option because war is not an option between these 2 Nuclear Armed neighbors. Plenty more ahead on the aljazeera news hour including being told now to see more take. Chaos on the streets of Hong Kong Police move in to break up a general strike. After a Mass Shootings that shocked the country the u. S. President donald trump lays the blame on the media. And coming up with peter the player who could lift the trophy because if a bad back. So hong kong why general strike has turned into another confrontation between police and Protesters Police have been firing tear gas to break up crowds that were blocking traffic earlier the city was brought to a virtual standstill by the strike action Train Services were disrupted and at least a 100 flights were canceled Andrew Thomas reports. A general strike is what was promised general chaos across hong kong and before the sun even set his watch people. It was very different early monday morning and Central Hong Kong was deserted many had responded to protesters calls to strike but many more simply couldnt get to work protesters had blocked the doors of subway trains to stop them running and put barricades across roads at the airport absent Traffic Control is meant more than 200. 00 flights were canceled striking workers had plenty of support shutting down on them to call to me which effectively destroyed is doing its not a good idea. World. For one day or you can. Bringing some reminder so you support the strike. But there wasnt a total shutdown and some were not happy you didnt join the strike today 1000 because they have to work on i think its very stupid destroy the whole call hold is a very good place to stop destroying hong kong who the protesters or the gulf coast not the government of israel. Think of as the best hope of course is the best after a News Conference hong kongs chief executive condemned the strike and the broader protests such extensive disruptions in the name of certainty months or uncooperative movement have seriously undermined hong kongs law and order. And are pushing our city the city we all love and many of us helped to build through the verge of a very dangerous situation. It already feels dangerous protest to stop disrupting transport to gather initially peacefully in 7 locations across hong kong after some threw stones Police Responded with canister upon canisters of tear gas. Running down from the sky is some food they were using to be cleaned protesters used traffic cones to contain the smoke hong kongs government shows no sign of being able to contain this after thomas al jazeera hong kong. Or thousands of people have attended a candlelight vigil in paso texas to honor the 20 People Killed in a mass shooting at a Shopping Complex on saturday its the worst attack in the u. S. So far this year a 21 year old white man is facing multiple criminal charges. And in ohio a large crowd gathered for a vigil in daytons oregon district to mourn the deaths of 9 people there who were killed during another mass shooting early on sunday police say the gunman was among those killed 16 others were taken to hospital with injuries. While the us President Donald Trump has spoken out against gun violence at the white house hes condemned bigotry racism and White Supremacy but says social media and Mental Health are to blame for the countrys increase in gun crime and this follows the 2 Mass Shootings in the u. S. Over the last couple of days which left left 29 people dead and Dozens Injured in the 2 decades since columbine our nation has watched with rising horror and dread as one mans shooting has followed another over and over again decade after decade we cannot allow ourselves to feel powerless we can and will stop this evil contagion and that task we must honor the sacred memory of those we have lost by acting as one people lets not cross over to our White House Correspondent kimberly Health Issues joining us from d. C. So we did hear trump condemn White Supremacy in that statement that he made kimberly but for those that were hoping that he would propose gun laws they will be disappointed. Well and there is some challenge in that is that the states in the United States have very strong rights with respect to gun laws so there is a limitation to what the president can do its also important to point out to our International Audience that the white house doesnt make Laws Congress and thats where the challenge seems to be weve seen the house controlled by democrats put in place Gun Legislation but that it stalled in the Republican Controlled Senate now the u. S. President certainly can suggest he can also put in place executive orders we saw the latter in terms of suggestions of what he can do within his power as number one what hes pledged to do in that as he went on to condemn. The White Supremacy which is what he is pointing to as the cause of at least one of the weekend shootings in el paso targeted at minorities that he wants to commit federal resources to combat domestic terrorism and extremism and is going a step further because there has been such a rash of shootings we should point out 2 of the weekend 3 in the last week directed the department of justice to identify red flags that potentially could include extreme protective orders in other words can finding somebody if they are identified as being a potential risk for a mass shooting reforming Mental Health care including involuntary confinement and also hate crime legislation that could include swift Capital Punishment now these are proposals put forward by the president but in his speech he did point to congress as being the ones that need to enact this law calling for a strong bipartisanship so far something that has been the obstacle to gun control legislation or even reforms in the United States and i suppose now reaction must be coming in kimberly on what the president had to say so what are you hearing about from democrats as well as republicans on the statements. Well there has been a bit of surprise on the part of. The left of the political spectrum democrats mainly who did not expect the president to condemn White Supremacy this is something they called on and theyre certainly not going to applaud the president because they feel that he has been slow to do so in his presidency but theres going to be and there has been some criticism from the right that the president has shifted left in terms of some of his proposals theres concern that some of these proposals that the president s putting in place to combat gun violence will infringe on the rights of law abiding gun owners the majority that the conservatives and republicans point out as well there is concerned about the infringement on Civil Liberties that if any of these if for example involuntary confinement were put in place that this could be weaponized against a political opponent for example so in terms of any of these proposals being acted swiftly highly unlikely given the fact number one congress is session right now and number 2 theyre highly controversial expect that any one of these proposals would take a very long time to be debated before it was even put in place in the form of any sort of law kimberly how could frank you. Still ahead on the aljazeera news hour in libya forces loyal to the warlords are have to launch air strikes killing more than 40 people plus. Im charlie on the Edinburgh Festival west of the most painful experiences on the steps. I will tell you which English Premier League club showed mcguire the money thats coming up with peter in sports. How i think we will see the winds picking up across parts of the middle east over the next couple of days clear skies sunshine as per usual one or 2 showers just lurking between the black sea and the caspian just around the caucuses but otherwise you can see lots of dry weather in place 36 celsius in kabul 31 for karate or into the mid fortys for baghdad and also for kuwait you can see how that wind is just driving out of syria through iraq and pushing down across the Arabian Peninsula thats going to be the theme as we go on through the next couple of days so watch out for some lifted dust in the sand the visibility is not particularly good temperatures pick up in doha 4445 celsius over the next couple of days but it could be that breeze that you really will notice a smile setting in. Little bit of breezy weather pushing across southern parts of africa it is dry here so he clear skies little bit more cloud just rolling across sea southern cape could produce a few spots of rain i think more so into wednesday then choose that cloud will thicken up and up towards cape town the far south of south africa for much of Southern Africa joy and sunny sums it up the showers there across the tropical regions as they should be from the hollers right into the gulf of guinea.

The latest news as it breaks. With details coverage no one is willing to return home to me on my own without sort of going through papers and security guarantees from around the world the challenges facing the new Prime Minister. Negotiate a new bricks that deal in one day a deal the e. U. Says cannot be renegotiated. Hello again the top stories on the aljazeera new thing the ceasefire in syria last rebel held province has collapsed the government is resuming its bombardment of libya and thats accusing rebel forces of violating the cease fire its also blaming turkey for not guaranteeing the truce. A just government is now saying a bomb was the cause of a blast that killed 20 people on sunday the interior ministry had initially said the incident in cairo was an accident involving multiple vehicles. Indias government has scrapped parts of the law that give significant autonomy to indian administered kashmir the region. Is set to be split in 2 parts and its special protections are being removed pakistan has condemned the move. So the dispute between india and pakistan over the status of kashmir goes back to the time shortly before independence from britain when india was partitions in 1907 the muslim majority region was ruled by a hindu king he chose to join india after fighters from pakistan entered the region war broke out in the area ended up being split into 2 parts one administered by india the other by pakistan while fighting in indian administered kashmir has been mostly in the muslim majority Kashmir Valley indias constitution gave the region autonomy and special Legal Protections for people who live there but the government has now removed that provision to integrate it into the Indian States for more on this we can speak to. A senior lecturer at Kings College london is joining us live from london and this is all about article 370. That has now been revoked by the Indian Government so what does this actually mean for those on the ground. Well one of the things that needs to be understood is that the actual protections of article 370 have been being eroded by the Indian Government over a long period of time under many different governments so in some senses the complete where vocation of article 370 is kind of a final break of fraying of the social contract between the indian state and the kashmiri people that was formed as you as you mentioned around the time of partition but at the same time there to sort of distinctive aspects to this firstly theyre changing the administrative status of kashmir from being a state to being Union Territory which means that any elected government and. Doesnt happen elected government at the moment will have substantially fewer powers then they had to understate it and then secondly the manner by which the Indian Government has ram this through parliament is raising constitutional questions for people what about whats actually happening on the ground because in addition to revoking the article as you are saying the government has also placed leaders of the Major Political party under house arrest its also deploying troops to the area why. Well i think that this is mostly preempt preempt or preemptory there have been some. Sort of reports of attacks or were going to happen in the Kashmir Valley by terrorist groups but that hasnt been confirmed at all. The the imposition of a curfew and the arrests of. The national kong conference is sort of. Whats happening sort of simple tenuously with the decision of the home minister to push forward this this measure and i think the power government because pakistan. Has come out as expected and strongly condemned this move by india saying it will exercise all possible options to counter what it calls as an illegal step what can pakistan practically do what are its next steps if it has relatively little. Tools in the tool box one of the things that pakistan would like to do is to highlight the sort of. Human rights abuses in the Kashmir Valley and of course the the revocation of article 370. 00 belongs within the same sort of rel relative basket but what weve seen over the last decade or so is that the International Community is increasingly less interested in engaging with the kashmir issue. Generally seeing it as a domestic indian politics but we did say last month while the pakistani Prime Minister was visiting washington the u. S. President donald trump in fact did offer to mediates between pakistan and india on the issue of he has here is that a step you think that the pakistanis will not be pushing for. I you have no doubt to tell try to push it i am relatively skeptical of president trying to follow through on this particular particular issue especially because india came out very forcefully and reiterated its position that any negotiations are in kashmir need to happen by out early between india and pakistan and there are many issues that are generally off the table right on the we thank you very much for speaking to us from london thank you very much now libyan media reporting 41 people have been killed in air strikes launched by forces loyal to warlords 24 has studied the attack reportedly targeted a Wedding Party in the town of motors a thoughts in southwest libya dozens more were injured more than a 1000 people have been killed since have to us forces launched an offensive in april to take control of the capital tripoli but not on the well head has the latest. Libya as you and back to government of National Accord has condemned the attack by half to war planes on civilians in the southern town of the murders of about 900 kilometers south of the capital tripoli the government of National Accord is blaming forces loyal to the world have to pull what it calls a committing crimes against civilians in the south of libya its also calling on the United Nations support the mission in libya to open an investigation into those crimes and on a sunday after the drone. Strikes killing get dozens of civilians in the town of murders a big and injuring get dozens of others we know that the tribes in the town of most of. The victims of these airstrikes have been totally injecting the what they call the military who will have to his forces in the south and namely and the town of. Have to his forces on the other hand are accusing the tibble fighters of recruiting their tipple cousins from chad which. Are categorically denying they say that all the victims are libyans civilians with libyan i. D. s and libyan heritage we know that since last february when have those forces launched a military campaign to take control of the south of libya including get strategic locations towns oil fields and airports that has been sporadic fighting between have to his forces and the fighters since then we understand that the tibble fighters in the sales of libya are now calling on the International Community to do its part and protect civilians against have to attacks in the sales of libya. Yemens who the rebels say theyve launched a series of drone attacks against saudi arabia the targets were. Airports on the kings holiday air base in the southwest Saudi State Television has confirmed the air force intercepted and number of drones launched by the whole 3 rebels accusing them of trying to strike civilian targets to be able outbreak in the democratic republic of congo and Doctors Without Borders says nearly 2 thirds of those whove been infected have died were briefly shut its border with the d r c on thursday after 4 patients in the eastern congolese city of goma tested positive for the disease Stephanie Decker has more from geese and yea its one of the main crossings on the rwandan side of the congolese border. This is an incredibly busy Border Crossing as you can see thousands of people cross from wanda into the democratic republic of congo and back every day they go in the morning they come back in the evening and you can probably see quite how close is to where we are its literally part of the same city if you will and of course goma is the city in the d. R. Sea where you had 4 people diagnosed with the ebola virus in this is why the rwandan authorities became so concerned closing this border last thursday for a couple of hours what they have done now is they have their allowed speakers were voices telling people all these people that are moving back and forth to wash their hands explaining what the symptoms are of a bullet things like if youre feeling feverish and telling them then to go to certain medical points that they have set up to get checked this is the challenge the challenge with this virus is the way it is transmitted is transmitted through body fluids through sweat it is hot as are those are telling people not to touch each other so the moment i can just see a plane taking off from the airport in this is why it is so close this is why there is such concern in this is why the one of the forces are taking very very seriously but theyre still saying and maintaining of course that theyve never had a case of a boat in rwanda and thats why they put all these measures in place to make sure it doesnt happen Russias Deputy foreign minister has spoken for the 1st time since the u. S. Withdrew from a landmark Nuclear Arms Treaty washington walked away from the intermediate range Nuclear Forces treaty on friday accusing russia of not complying moscow has denied this and says the u. S. Has made a serious mistake by leaving the agreements stuff and has more from moscow. Russias Deputy Foreign minister ripped off made it very clear that the risk of a Nuclear Arms Race between the United States and russia has increased significantly now that 3 t. D. Intermediate Nuclear Forces treaty signed in 1987 is that and he blamed completely and fully the United States for this he said the United States has deliberately killed this treaty and put all the blame on russia he says its true russia owns a missile the 9. 00 and 7. 00 to 9. 00 missile but we never task that is beyond the 500 kilometers range so basically he cant we cant be blamed for violating the treaty he also said that it is clear that the United States has other options that. The United States has a lot of strategy basically aiming at ese and thats why the treaty had to be to terminated he said that one of the reasons for example that the Nuclear Arms Race in asia could increase russia said that if the United States puts a new missile in asia that it will consider and look at the situation and react accordingly to defend its National Security basically the big key word here is china the United States wants to balance what china has been doing also on the defense front but china never really had any intention to join any Nuclear Treaty so thats why the United States is planning and on friday the u. S. Defense secretary already said that he wants to send missiles to asia sooner rather than later so theres a lot of concern about that during course presser a lot of asian journalists were asking questions about the possibility of this new Nuclear Arms Race in asia and the friends for the Deputy Foreign minister sat that we will all have to see and wait what the United States is planning to do. China has escalated its trade war with the United States in response to President Trump threatened sanctions the central bank stopped propping up in one allowing it to fall towards lowest level against the dollar since 2008 the peoples bank of china blamed the trade war for the. If this isnt rattled markets and is likely to inflame tension between washington and beijing. Economic editor arbitrarily explains how the currencies drop could benefit china donald trump imposes tariffs next month the chinese are weaponize in the Exchange Rate to manage this to help manage the economy so if these new sanctions come into play then the chinese economy will contract by not point 2 percent but it does not point 2 percent and that means that by lowering the currency by 10 percent they can mitigate the impact so thats their plan this is this is because they havent got enough trade goods which they which they buy from the u. S. Which they can sanction anymore so this is this is what theyve left with the currency the chinese would argue this is not been a palatial what they allowed is the markets to take effect the markets analysts and economists think that chinas economy slowing and what is the outlet when that happens the currency hughes you depreciates which allows you to sell more goods overseas but you also has negative impacts like the inflation so this is just one mechanism that they can use to counter the terrorists july was the warmest month on record for the planets thats according to scientists at the European UnionsCopernicus Climate Change Service who say it continues a worrying upward trend in Global Temperatures this year its accompanied by a major ice melt in greenland and 0 science and Technology Editor and explains. Global temperatures in july i usually hot but never before have they climbed this high scientists at the use Copernicus Climate Change Service analyzed temperature data from across the world and observations from satellites and ground stations they say july was the hottest month albeit by a small margin rising from the previous record in july 2006 days scorching record temperatures and hate waves in europe the United States and the arctic coincided with a major ice melt in greenland data from scientists at the danish me to a logical institute shows melting on almost 60 percent of greenlands ice sheet that released 197000000000 metric tons of water into the Atlantic Ocean in july we actually now see a. Signal of. Climate change Global Warming the arctic is actually warming at twice the rate of the rest of the world and now theres a very clear signal that is warming is actually driven by too much Carbon Dioxide in the air so as this year 2 increases so should temperatures around the world were going to see more of these type of heat wave. These heat wave of events behind large wildfires since early june wildfires in the arctic pumped out more than 100000000. 00 tons of Greenhouse Gases thats equivalent to belgiums Carbon Dioxide emissions in a year climate Scientists Say there is still time to limit Global Warming to 1. 5 degrees celsius above preindustrial levels the u. N. Body dealing with warming planet the i. P. C. C. Has pushed a simple message for governments businesses and individuals to drastically cut emissions by making. This switch from burning fossil fuels like oil cast sand coal to Clean Green Renewable Energy but since the i. P. C. C. Issued that call back in 2015 Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere has continued to rise it now shrouds out planet at a level not saying and the last 800000. 00 he is free of amber because a senior climate scientist who funded Copernicus Climate Change Service she says more record temperatures are likely if levels of Greenhouse Gases remain unchanged just look at the month of july is not going to just look at one month isolation so yeah like about 19 well i would say are warm and so if you want to be warmer theres a prediction was like in all of most of the record. Global temperatures have been increasing they also are increasing i mean it will continue to improve it would end up greenhouse emissions so its a little bit like walking up a mountain and there was nothing i was it was the one thing we really were planted i mean it was about one degree mark. And if we can simulate farms well where did you see rapid mom is all i want but im not very good mom was remarried. Without having to Greenhouse GasesGlobal Temperatures will continue to increase well i think that after. Ive already you. On a National Level but on all levels im a little level we have little action. Im not a little bit reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions but also you look at flooding what would change when i asked im saving all day well like those in the. Well some performers a.

Well like you mentioned it has collapsed and minutes after the Syrian Military issued a statement approximately 2 hours ago airstrikes resumed on rebel controlled towns in southern it live and northern how in the Syrian Military statement they blame turkey and they say that what they call turkeys proxy armed terrorist groups are responsible for violating the truce and attacking civilian areas without really providing any details on when or where those attacks happened this really is a sudden statement because earlier this morning a pro government a web site quoted the military official a Syrian Military official saying that these cease fire will stay in effect until august 16th until after the muslim eed holiday that either haha a day and that they were giving the rebels time to comply with the terms of the saatchi agreement which calls for the creation of a Demilitarized Zone around the rebel controlled province so a sudden announcement with some turkish sources telling us that they believe this could be a direct message to turkey not from the Syrian Government but from the backer of the Syrian Government russia because turkey and the United States are engaged in discussions in ankara military officials are discussing a setting up a planned safe zone in a corner of syria in the Northeast Corner of syria and what we understand progress was being made in those talks and every time there is this mall between turkey and the United States it seems to anger russia so the collapse of the cease fire being seen as a message to turkey a backer of the Syrian Opposition and what does this mean for civilians who are still in that area. When the ceasefire was announced on friday night people in rebel controlled towns and villages welcomed it simply because they enjoyed intense bombardment intense the air strikes relentless airstrikes for 3 months war monitors documented the deaths of more than 800 civilians 216 among them civilians we saw the pictures coming out from rebel controlled towns of children dead bodies being pulled from the rubble 400000 people more than 400000 people according to the United Nations forced to leave their homes they moved closer to safer areas near the Turkish Border in fact this morning a few 1000 started to return to their to their homes hoping that they could celebrate the muslim holiday next week in their hometowns so definitely these people have been enjoying a lot because the government the Syrian Government and its allies have not been able to take ground that there has been a stalemate on the frontline what they have been doing is bombarding civilian areas to pressure the rebels to surrender so people of course now expecting further bombardment in the in the hours really and the days to come unless russia and turkey can revive that cease fire all right says anna hazare thank you.
