Protests against donald trump in ohio and texas as he pursued 1st responders and survivors of 2 masher chings 31 people were killed last weekend in the cities of dayton and el paso ok lets go back to our top story whats going on in and around kashmir of some a binge of aid is inch of coffee thats a border village in the pakistan administered part of kashmir osama just walk us through where you are and whats the impact of whats going on there. Prieto we are at the furthest point that the Pakistani Military would allow us to word the line of control of the dividing line in the region of kashmir on the pakistani and indian side the mountains that you see behind me are in indian it going to administered kashmir and were just about 80 kilometers away from the think youre which continues to be under a lockdown the tents here in the nearby village it is not clear because there have been escalation in the last few weeks where mortar shells and other artillery has been dropping in the villages causing casualties injury theres going to people who died because of the tensions that have been escalating in border village of them both the pakistani government to think that it will continue its offensive in terms of diplomacy the foreign minister announcing today that hell be leaving for china. On board to the United Nations thing that you will be speaking to the United Nations Security Council to brief them about his son called in an expression of a disputed heart apart which india has violated by lack of agreement and and pakistan will be taking it to word the direction of a multi that trying to bring its allies on board to to back it stand on and try and come to where the revolution and some are just share with us your thoughts on one aspect of this i mean there where you are ground 0 of this crisis between islam and delhi is there any wriggle room because it seems to me both countries have not gone as far as the might have gone and if people are talking to people is there a diplomatic off ramp here. Well it doesnt seem to be presents right at the moment because pakistan did stop short of severing its diplomatic ties completely it is maintaining the lowest level of diplomatic relations with india although its announced that it will be expelling the indian ambassador in the pakistans on war is not going to be going to new delhi the other decision that pakistan has taken is of is another symbolic in nature although significant that trade ties between the 2 countries that which only amount to about 2000000000. 00 a year so these are steps that pakistan has taken so obviously what analysts have been telling us that there is some space that in case there are there is needy ation from either the United Nations or world powers which has been rejected completely by india thats like a son could go to words for the ratcheting up tensions weve been hearing in the lead up to this that pakistan will be expanding its troop presence on the line of control something that hasnt happened weve also been hearing rumors that pakistan would be closing its airspace to india that hasnt happened which happened in the past so obviously there are things that both sides can do to make things go further but pakistan stopping short on the pakistani government is saying that it is going to deploy all its resources to try and find a diplomatic solution to this crisis and the pakistanis saying that at about 12000000 push means are being held hostage by india and it is in contravention to everything that they have been doing since the seventys in terms of Bilateral Agreements and it is saying to the Indian Government that unless pakistan and india can come to some sort of an agreement on how to resolve this crisis these 2 Nuclear Neighbors will not be able to move any further calls osama thanks so much. The United Nations leading body for the study of Climate Change has held its 50th session in switzerland officials of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change delivered their latest report is focused on how land use contributes to the climate crisis. Increasing drought is one of the consequences of Climate Change now to kenya its left more than 1000000 people on the brink of starvation its also causing friction between communities of herders who compete for water and pasture in many of the directly affected areas aljazeera as Katherine Sawyer reports from country. Analysts and gera and her family are heading to an area in nothing kenya where theyve been told theres enough water and pasture for her live stock it will take them a day to work there theres a drought in parts of kenya months of rain have just ended but weather experts say it wasnt enough and millions of people are likely to suffer wason in food and water shortages and it did not rain where we were so we had to come to speak to a settlement area where my animals can survive hiders from different parts of this region are bringing their animals to areas such as marlin weight has rained but frequent droughts as cassidy of resources often crosses conflict between harding communities many of the conflicts begin from Watering Point cattle markets and grazing areas like this one and it takes so little to start a fight with can spiral out of control and trigger revenge by communities these are old is from neighboring some. Ethnic groups they started peace meetings after 10 years of fighting killed hundreds of people. Father was killed while trying to break up a gun fight. Who was then a teenager was also shot by a stray bullet he says fighting in some areas has wasnt because of easy access to guns political interference.

Now to venezuela where the government has cancelled talks sched chilled with the opposition for this week because of new economic sanctions as imposed by the United States the Opposition Leader. Has told aljazeera that he supports the u. S. Sanctions and the pressure it puts on. Our correspondent there is a boat sat down with him in caracas. Venezuela is governments response to recent u. S. Sanctions supporters of. Gathered in Central Caracas to denounce what they say is a brutal embargo by the United States. On monday u. S. President donald trump signed an executive order banning u. S. Companies from doing business in venezuela he seized venezuelan assets in the u. S. And threatened foreign powers and companies doing business in this country we met with Opposition Leader who has been challenging my buddhist government he says the sanctions i meant to pressure mother will into some sort of negotiation you know law. Venezuelan capital has flooded the World Economy it is estimated and its a wide guess because of the magnitude of theft around 300. 00 to 600000000000. 00 was stolen from the venezuelan people to put it into context thats 10 times or 15 times the Marshall Plan in europe after the 2nd world war they are part of the Money Laundering circuit these sanctions are meant to put pressure on a dictatorship and its a tool of the free world of modern diplomacy to pressure a regime with the characteristics of material that have relationships with Drug Trafficking proven in international courts. Sanctions like this one have been implemented in north korea and iran and their leaders are still in power and the population is poorer suffering why do you think its going to be different this time but i mean to all of the problems we face today are not the same sions its a dictatorship the reason why even israel is poor today is because the expropriated fertile land and did not grow anything in it they destroyed National Production they stole productive land created Fake Exchange controls and internal sanctions that persecuted people that is what keeps venezuela poured the sanctions that have human rights abusers leaves and corrupt officials as an objective are meant to pressure a dictatorship youre talking about talk about negotiations that are happening in my betas right now what what can we expect from that. Its a relative question what can we expect from a dictatorship nothing what can we expect of human rights abusers nothing what we can do are pressures we are implementing of being the majority of institutional pressure we could find a solution in alternative to the conflict venezuelans are living in. Why though for now discard the possibility of him a towering intervention in spite that he says all options are on the table. 7 but government supporters say theyre and the right tack now and say they need to be ready for what may come they say the sanctions will not only heard the government but willing crees the hardships theyre already facing every day.

After 25 years of affording whirls waste china for the global cycling industry into chaos. The growing pressure of agreement skies is resulting in change we bring you the stories to the shaping the economic world we live in. Counting the cost on al jazeera. America series more just your 90 minutes any forms and recent history is politics on the mind by process and divisions consensus most Anything Possible to treat so what we can call one suppose you see together. And work at the disc. And the 2nd 2 special reports. As being to invest. Former special counsel Robert Muller recently appeared before the u. S. Congress to answer questions about his investigation of President Trump and russian interference in the 2016 president ial campaign president has repeatedly claimed that your court found there was no obstruction and that it completely and totally exonerated. That is not what your report said is it. Correct it is not what the report said. The report did not include he did not commit a structure of justice that is correct for Many Democrats there are strong grounds for impeaching donald trump but with republicans remaining firmly in his corner its becoming symbolic of americas partisan divide its starting to look like you having desperately tried and failed to make a legal case against the president you made a political case instead you put it in a paper sack lit on fire dropped it on our porch rang the doorbell and ran i dont think you will review a report that is as thorough as fair as consistent as the report that we have in front of us history is repeating itself i would say the trumpet ministration is in fast competition with what happened in the Nixon Administration john dean is a former white House Counsel whose 973 testimony helped seal the fate of president Richard Nixon in watergate he also appeared before congress recently and sounded a warning about partisan division and incivility theres too much polarization in the sense that in the questioning sitting here and the shots that get taken it witnesses President Trump exacerbates Political Polarization in the u. S. But it is the result of a social sorting process between the parties that began with the passage of civil rights legislation in the 1960 s. Its culminated in the formation of democratic and republican parties made up of distinctive racial ethnic and religious groups. We are at inclusion of basically a 60 year political journey and its a disaster. Because the parties have divided over fundamental visions of the National Character the drop man is a senior fellow in the Political Reform Program at the think tank new america the Republican Party basically sees the True National identity of america as in the past a time when america was a White Christian nation its a traditionalist vision and then we have another Party Democratic party as a very different vision of america its a more secular place its more progressive and it celebrates diversity so the fundamental problem today is that politics is no longer about battles over resources but about battles over what it means to be an american yeah the 2 sides are casting each other as fundamentally unamerican so power could you possibly compromise with them. This clash over values has led to the sorting of the parties along geographic lines in the 2016 election trump one decisively in the 2300 counties that make up small town in Rural America but in cities Hillary Clinton beat trump in a landslide. Continuing our investigation into toxic partisanship in the us by focusing on North Carolina as a microcosm of the nation we headed for charlotte biggest city in this state. Some areas of the states very you know its hard hard for democrat to get elected some and now cities its very hard for a republican to get elected and in a metropolitan area is group of people that tend to be highly educated more moderate and liberal in their views white and black in the rowers but having whiter and older and areas are becoming more diverse 8 percent of North Carolinas population is foreign born 51 percent from latin america i know low benton caller who owns this bakery immigrated from columbia in 1000 years ago when trauma decided to run for president as one i got involved with we had democratic party. Lies and then latino. Volved 59 percent of North Carolinas latino population is u. S. Born but there are about 100000 undocumented immigrants im sure didnt think change once trump was elected yes a lot of destroying families you know taken father some modest away from their kids in charlotte Illegal Immigrants were being deported with the help of the local sheriff was working with federal immigration and Customs Enforcement ice under a program called 287 g. So benton corin a group of local activists helped elect a new sheriff basically expand the reach of ice and deputized his local sheriffs deputies to place foreign nationals entering mobile proceedings the 287 g. We well aware of what the problems were with that and how women were suffering in afraid to go places children were not attending school out of fear that something would happen during the school day before the sheriffs election in may 2018 activists hit the streets with a score card highlighting the differences between the incumbent Erwin Carmichael and his challengers the American Civil Liberties union also ran radio ads carmichaels challengers vatanen and they pledged to stop working with trumps deportation for Gary Mcfadden a homicide detective for 27 years one becoming the 1st africanamerican sheriff ever in charlotte and his 1st day in office he ended his departments involvement in 287 we already had communities with mistrust you know no matter what happens in a community the Community Says you do not tell the police and to 87 g. Just compounds the problem because of fear that you will be deported or youll be targeted by do you think a lot of folks got caught up in the deportation process which shouldnt have been because of 287 yes a lot of people got caught off a small crimes driving with no license seatbelt violation as long as you got into the criminal Justice System he will part of the deal. Poor taste in process ice responded to mcfaddens decision to end cooperation by mountain an aggressive Enforcement Effort in charlotte accusing him of being soft on crime so i think the fish that you see that there is a one out of here is dangerous it found in other sheriffs of North Carolinas largest urban counties are now battling legislation pushed by republicans that would force them to cooperate with ice or be removed from office do you think theres any way to compromise with people who favor aggressive vice enforcement absolutely not how do you compromise on taking the father out of the home in leaving a mother with her children destitute with no support theres no way to compromise there is no possible balls to doing the same thing that they did in slavery they just picked another group of people to do it now you can keep it constantly growing by making people disposable but when you get tired to use a new brand name the enemy and you send him back to mexico or Central America like republicans in washington d. C. Republicans in North Carolina represented rural districts have been accused of fueling partisan tensions by pushing policies on immigration and other issues opposed by urban residents public and legislature in North Carolina is bigfooting the cities because the cities are more liberal and more democratic and theyre conducting policies that like whats driving that their fences on immigration very sharp difference about whether its good for the country to have a lot of people coming in from latin america countries or it is somehow rody americans authenticity in some cases it is economic competition what do you think is at the root of the urban rural divide so we have one half of the state thats dynamic and its growing fast and the young people are leaving the small town the royer has to come work in raleigh or charlotte because thats where the jobs of the future are and the other half you have a dying North Carolina the royals are really struggling with economic decline. And of course youre going to have a huge harbor in world of vide if thats thats the case. To better understand the economic laws that apply we headed west to the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains its an area with conservative leanings rasmussen. For most of the 20th century could also find coming textile mills and furniture factories in small towns here every rival the industry in the american midwest but nearly 19 eighties all began to change. So how long have you been involved in Economic Development or about 30 years Chuck Moseley witnessed firsthand the decline of the textile and Furniture Industries in the burke county town of val ds and the surrounding area we had 7000. 00 people that will be here during the day and are a little down but now weve probably got 2000 people at work in our town and so thats quite a difference this is the wall bench and plant and down about 81 or 82 they were one time raved about 5th in the world and how dream business what kind of impact did that have on the economy here and major impact because that was our number one source of income for valleys in the neighboring town of the northern Caldwell County also lost thousands of jobs in the Furniture Industry due to imports from asia and the outsourcing of production to the region we were so focused on furniture and on textiles people were trying to do anything else so when those jobs left you know they just had to take whatever was left over you know i saw that actually the Unemployment Rate has improved a lot theyre finding jobs the biggest problem is that theyre barely above minimum wage so this looks like a shutdown plan weve got all over the area here guarantee. I would be surprised if i walk out of it and live probably 10000. 00 jobs in the Furniture Industry here to what extent did were. The trade deals for the economic problems that the phrase you hear a lot of it you know if they hey wait a minute lets bring that industry back and do it in america. So a lot of resentment among workers here that the politicians let them down you know at the coffee shop that was thats all they are more interested in the dollar from wall street than they are the people that are making the furniture and the families theyre raising in this country. During the 2016 president ial race Donald Trumps campaign targeted North Carolina voters in hard hit and just really are living through the greatest job steps in the history of our world the trumpet ministry will stop the jobs from leaving him and from leaving North Carolina. Trump received 67 percent of the vote burke county and 73 percent in Caldwell County record levels of support for republican president ial candidates trump was saying stuff like bring manufacturing back they care about the Little People support for trump and the stars are for americas past where evan invalides at near his classic car cruise in on friday night i think trust to a great people or whatever the his policies are working for your average american i think a lot of people will look for a big change and trump is not a politician he doesnt look at things the way he typically called politicians look at us do you think people in this area support President Trump in terms of his policy on immigration in america i think so id say the percent most of the people here or what you call locals they grew up and everything was literally white and thats where they want to be a country without borders is not a country. I mean if you look at it heaven has a wall and strict immigration policy held is not if you want to be here then you need to come in the correct white why do you think President Trump did so well in this area in the 2016 election truck comments that lets make America Great again can almost get our industry going lets get our main very we need to be making babies. When donald trump talks about american carnage as he did in his inaugural speech he is talking about places like Caldwell County and lenore that resonates with those people because theres been an ending out of as a faction tops that youre seeing a whole decline in the whole Senate Culture thats going on there thats why you have these these really deep seated problems like increases in suicide and opioid use and out of wedlock births and its not just those areas but all royal carolina and a lot of Rural America. The appeal of right wing populism in small town rural areas left behind by economic change plays a major role in the hyper partisanship in America Today but there is also a critical cultural dimension that became clear in elk in a town just an hour up the road we like small town values and we certainly appreciate enough coal in the bible these things are still very important and we dont wont. Battle to change Stephen Harris was born and raised in el can and is now a columnist at the town newspaper so this is an area where evangelical christianity is very strong and he yes President Trump supports or appears to support the traditional American Values or so important here you know were seeing things that our parents would never dream of would happen in america such as abortion and same sex marriage. White evangelical christians represent 26 percent of the american electorate there trumps most loyal block of support he has advanced their agenda on relations with israel judges abortion and rights folks on the other side think that not taking action on Climate Change is immoral that not allowing people to choose who they want to marry you know is immoral do you respect that they feel that theyre standing on moral ground to do but if we do fall of the bible and its teachings that would be the best path to go and i would disagree that Climate Change is a moral issue its an economic issue its a battle over government control and taxes but its a moral issue if it affects our children if the planet becomes uninhabitable i dont believe that will happen its a big bet though its a big bet if we dont do anything and its a problem it is but you know we know that god is in control and will trust him for our future. The divide between white democrats and republicans is is really now between christians and people who are not religious at all in her book on civil agreement Liliana Mason argues that the sorting of the parties along religious lines also from his extreme partisanship in the us and the eightys and ninetys we saw the religious right become involved in politics and they chose to unite with the Republican Party which means that now we wraps religion into partisanship as well and eventually christians havent really been involved in politics before many in a group of people from heresies Community Felt religion was at the root of the visions in america theres a huge divide in urban areas and rule and a lot of it is based on religion you have great prayer in your schools its like when i went to school you did the pledge of allegiance 1st line you cant do that anymore nobody respects the flag you know theyve taken god. Nomic message also resonated in elkan which was the textile mill that was the lynchpin of the local economy you know he made promises of bringing jobs back everybody sorta equated him with new. Different things coming in. Monitoring this and being 1st things come around my own lets bring some tourists to help but i dont think its going to completely. One Rural America struggles the president s talks partisan tensions with misleading claims about democratic support for illegal immigrant the democrat was so. Free with Free Education that the right to vote there you know not time like what is ours what we have arent and i think there should be very stringent awesome policies to you. Keep the young from taken out of great sources are you concerned about the divisions in the country today. Its probably good workshop. But the day why is that people just keep digging in deeper into their positions its just youre a democrat or youre republican and theyre going to vote for that no matter what is and who are running there is a division one year to happen and you will continue to have skill like you have your economic classes you have your races its the different religions and everybody believe in is them our way down on my. I dont believe any president in history of this nation has been attacked more than donald trump. An evangelical leader who has been a vocal critic of democrats is the reverend Franklin Graham son of the adventurous billy graham who participated in President Trumps inauguration we met with him at the North Carolina headquarters of the Christian Relief organization he heads how concerned are you about the social and political divisions in America Today on her concerns it is ripping some sections of our country almost apart and it shouldnt be i dont think were as divided as we were in the civil war when the nation was ripped apart and i hope that never happens again but it could who knows and you suggested that President Trump one because of divine intervention in unison that it was part of gods plan i believe that how its going to explain that he won the election everybody was against him dont you think mixing religion and politics like that can fuel polarization in the country to suggest that a president was chosen by god well i dont think its divisive i think its just a fact and if you think this is divisive take it up with god why do you feel that you can give President Trump a pass when he committed adultery when his i mean why did you give the President Trump a pass on that 1st thats not something that is current in his life thats not since hes been president like bill clinton but you criticized president clinton for the lying at the time and now President Trump of course seems to lie regularly i dont i dont agree with you im not sure what youre talking about to be honest with you well i mean there have been Fact Checking about a lot of the president s comments website who fact checks the media and the media gives far more lives than what youre accusing the president of the line which when youre talking about fox or others im talking about all have a problem in this country are you concerned that Many Americans see President Trump as a divider rather than a united i dont think is a divide i think he has a you and i in or he has certainly unite. Millions of people by name i mean people on both sides feel strongly that their moral positions are valid and that the other side is imposing on them how do you bridge that divide only god can do this i think of with all of us democrats and republicans what would what turn our faces back to god and ask for his help i think we can we can we can come through these problems very easily we have a constitution too in the constitution talks about freedom sure and has a moral foundation are you saying that the only morality that matters is the more audi of the bible yes. But not everyone interprets the bible the same way that a false mon narrative of religious nationalism and white evangelical is the seeks to make things ok as long as you get gay people to get pregnant for praying to school against womens right to choose for god what tax cut they say to you all right molly reverend barber who launched the moral monday movement in North Carolina is now spearheading the Poor Peoples Campaign a National Call for a moral revival youve got 62000000. 00 people working for less to 15. 00 an hour some have to get food stamps a living color because they work every day they dont make a living wage Something Like their me people our health care a country cannot continue to stand with that kind of gross any quality so were sand this time for us to come together to fight for the heart and soul of this democracy. The extreme partisan environment in the us as people in charlotte are and that hosting the Republican Convention next year will be much different than when democrats gathered here in 2012 are you concerned that the political divisions today could lead to violence it will. I know that it will were concerned its going to bring something totally different totally different temperatures of america from 2012 to 202020 different temperatures of america. Theres even worry that President Trump will contest the election if he loses in 2020 i think its a serious concern because he will think that he can intimidate his way into staying in the white house as he was and he will be surrounded by a conspiracy you know that democrats stole the election from him do you think america may be so divided today that its no longer capable of safeguard in democracy by impeaching a corrupt president as envisioned by the founders i dont think Richard Nixon would be impeached and todays environment i think people would specially rally around nixon you know along partisan lines im optimistic that these times are straightened out and and america will be only on an upward course in the future. Stephen harriss grandfather 5 generations back was gravesite was recently discovered was in the personal guard of the American Revolutionary war hero George Washington the 1st u. S. President do you think of President Trump loses the election that hell leave the white house. Sure yes of course they will everyone has before including George Washington and he will which of the politicians be doing to try to overcome this vicious partisanship. Start talking about whats good for the country and not talk about winning. At every hearing that weve seen so far the Republican House members defend tromp the mechanism of impeachment only works if people in the president s party are willing to condemn him. And to vote to remove him which is what happened with nixon i havent seen any evidence that republicans are willing to do that today. Theyll protect trump as long as his voters are still supporting him this is something that actually George Washington warned about in his farewell address he actually said if we become too partisan we divide ourselves against our own nation and it will harm us if we put too much power into the parties truly sacrificing the national greater good for the partisan victory.

Hello Indian Security forces have arrested around 500 people that says the crackdown in the disputed territory of kashmir is into its 4th day telecommunications and the internet remain blocked pakistan is expelling the indian ambassador and cutting back trade relations that syria rates with its neighbor people in indian administered kashmir are confined to their home we have been job aid standing by for us in a village in pakistan administered kashmir 1st recross over to Priyanka Gupta in the indian capital and priyanka what are you hearing about whats happening inside indian administered kashmir. Very little frank uteri there is very Little Information trickling in and out of parts of india understood where nearly 5000000 people are facing unprecedented security restrictions 4 lines are down internet is blocked and there blockades and checkpoints at every corner of these srinagar which the largest city of the region and what that has done is that people not ordinary people off the street are going to and parts of india mr bush meet contrie to get any help should they require so so even though the image and see services are working hospitals are open up people Country Access doctors are i think cant even get the basic medical facilities because of the of the Communications Restrictions that have been put in place we also know that about 500 politicians and political world because have been detained or arrested that includes 2 former chief ministers and thats quite unprecedented really because these 2 leaders are from mainstream political parties. So in many ways what has caught them by surprise is the way in which the government in new delhi has a has responded or has put such severe restrictions on not just the people of kashmir but also the petitions of kashmir. Street arguer a ghost town troops on every corner barricades everywhere in the largest city in the indeed and listed kashmir indias government says recent troop force months are to ensure security. Order as kashmiris see the effects of the significant changes to their autonomy and statehood now they didnt tell us anything and we walked article 37 all the phone lines are down trains are not working we havent seen anything like this in kashmir in our lives. Migrant workers who hope to find employment here happened stranded for days to learn about internet is down we cant access cash machines no one is listening to no one cares about us liberals. In new delhi this problem filmmaker is worried about his elderly parents and she duggar he questions the timing of the governments decision to walk the streets autonomy a divided into 2 federally administered territories the one thing about the timing of this decision is very seems awfully time. And so then one is forced to wonder as to why this would have happened and cruelly yes the story has pushed the impending economic crisis off the front pages for this week and who knows you know until the next round of elections legal challenges are already being planned the 1st public interested again against the governments position has been filed and they are more expected some constitutional experts say that there are some legal loopholes that the judges may consider the process hat is a certain amount of scut a constitutional scholar. Which. I expect. The Supreme Court or any other Constitutional Court to look at very closely constitutions do not work on the whim of a few people alone no matter how high in the constitutional structure indias government led by the party to the party of the hindu nationalists the special status was discriminatory and with a change of status to be open divestment jobs for now the shops of st our girls are closed and no one knows for how long. And pakistan has announced a series of steps including expelling in theirs and boss water and downgrading relations with india has india responded to those actions by pakistan. Thats right indias longstanding position on the disputed kashmir region is that its indias internal matter and that has been reiterated by the ministry of external affairs that came out with a strongly worded statement against pakistans actions or decisions to stop trade between the 2 countries and also downgrade diplomatic ties it says pakistan has taken a unilateral action and also said that the decision to revoke article 370 yet also to split the region into 2 federally administered territories as india has sovereign decision and it is an internal matter of india its also accuse pakistan of quote invoking and alarmist vision in the region for the world and also said that starbuck will not succeed in its efforts weve also heard a short while ago that the e. U. Foreign policy chief spoke to her counterparts in pakistan. And also the Indian Foreign minister is where she reiterated the importance of keeping the diplomatic channels open to avoid escalation its getting tensions between the 2 countries the ball. Foreign ministers have agreed to speak to 2 more the book reading but so far they havent treaty committed to talking to each other but also hearing reports that pakistan has apparently blocked the passage of some georgia train the socalled friendship train between the 2 countries at the walkup border and here you are again hearing reports that several passengers are a part of this tragedy on the other side of the border. With an update from new delhi thank you. So here is the state of play in casimir take a look at what india considers to be its sovereign territory but its actually more complicated on the grounds administer as part of the disputed kashmir region. Other china also administers part of the territory the indian and pakistan administered parts are separated by the internationally recognized line of control over to osama bin. Choco see thats a border village in pakistan administered kashmir to tell us where youve been seeing and hearing over there osama. Just to give you an idea of where we are this is the furthest point where the Pakistani Military would allow us to word the line of control the dividing line between pakistani and indian administered kashmir the mountains that you see behind us in indian administered kashmir but about 80 kilometers away from the which continues to be under the government block down in by by the Indian Forces i want to be hearing from the pakistani government is a more effort being deployed it is using all of its resources to get its message across to its allies in the region and beyond the call mr chairman we create she is expected to address a press conference shortly i have been telling media that he will be traveling to words china pakistan has not just downgraded diplomatic high bit of severed all of its economic ties although it is a small amount but it is symbolic in nature and as you heard from priyanka the some they expressed the train line link between the 2 countries and also been suspended so the tension is slowly building up but what analysts have been telling us is that they expected the worst and pakistan has got a few cards up its sleeve that have not completely severed it diplomatic ties it can still ramp up pressure on this side of the line of control it could also do things to the airspace and it is done in the past so it is a very tense situation on the border where people are waiting with bated breath and. Camps where people have been living for months and months and who left the indian side of the street and cannot go back are worried about their relatives who are stranded on the other side people have been telling us that 1000000 of their relatives millions of their family members in men have been held hostage by the government because internet and phone lines are down and theyre expecting that the worst is yet to come. Knocking namely that of there is a look at the moment that is maybe safina moved from indian administered kashmir in the 1990 s. To this refugee camp her family has lived through the highs and lows of relations between india and pakistan but says this time its different i didnt. Mind for 10 its been 3 days since we have heard from my sister and her family i heard rumors that 40 to 50 people have been killed we dont know anything even the internet is shut others even alive for husband says they escaped kashmir and he was tortured and had his fingers and toes broken by Indian Forces occupying their lands hundreds are. All we want to freedom for god sake is there anyone listening any muslims all over the world the un god will ask them on the day of judgment. The conflict over kashmir has separated many families for years with a 35000 people live in refugee camps on the pakistani side of the divided region most people in the war camp are from indian administered kashmir although temporary structures have been turned into concrete homes but almost every household has family or relatives still on the side they fear the worst as the Indian Governments crackdown continues. Thereabout hardy came here when she was just over a year old she went to school in the camp and now teaches at a college for refugees one of her brothers was killed before they moved and her mother says Indian Forces have killed other relatives in their fight for freedom its an emotional issue when she talks about not being able to contact her extended family because phone lines and the internet remains cut off. Was not the all what if theyre burned alive what if they were killed we dont know anything about whats happening erika schmear whats happening to our brothers sisters and children theres anyone care at the girls school in the camp children discuss politics as parents in most homes talk about a freakish me or a few weeks before the latest escalation. Relatives are asked them not to call anymore because they fear harris meant by Indian Security forces. They say if we talk to them they will be detained so we havent spoken to them for many days we are very worried and weve seen on t. V. That people are being persecuted in kashmir even the children here know about how tensions are flared since constitutional changes by india to the status of kashmir kashmiris here say india is holding 12000000 of their people hostage and are calling on pakistani government leaders to do more than the usual rhetoric from a job with aljazeera. August on administered kashmir on tomorrow
