Hello all Outgoing Flights have been canceled at Hong Kong International airport during a 5th day of protests thousands of people have gathered at the airport as you can see there forcing all fortys to suspend or cancel hundreds of flights and the u. N. Human Rights Office has urged the Hong Kong Government to investigate whether police used weapons in ways that are banned by International Law this follows 10 weeks of increasingly violent street confrontations between police and protesters. Yes very concerned because the violence appears to be increasing. And. Certainly segments of the population appear to be getting angry and this is one of the reasons why we call for prompt impartial independent investigations the office is the hong kong authorities to act with restraint to ensure that the rights of those who are expressing their views peacefully are respected and protected earlier the city is later kerry allowed warned of dangerous consequences if escalating violence isnt curbed Holik Monahan cycle of violence no matter if its using violence all condoning violence will push hong kong down a path of no return we plunge Hong Kong Society into a very worrying and dangerous situation i believe that those who heard my words previously might have only half believed me but the situation in hong kong in the past week has made me very worried that we have reached this dangerous situation rob rider is at the Hong Kong International airport with the latest. Many passengers are still arriving here this tuesday evening at hong kongs International Airport to learn that their flights have been cancelled they may still be shown here on this departure board but soon all of this will be turning red as it was this same time yesterday monday when the unprecedented crush of thousands of protesters brought this terminal to a standstill in particular the departure area here again the call went out for protesters to turn out they did so not in the numbers that they did monday but many thousands still came down to where it is like this one many of them bringing stacks of trolleys which they then turned over bringing the departure aisles the check in here to a standstill and the airports then announcing that all departing flights would have to be canceled for a 2nd day running one of the Busiest Airline hubs in the world brought to a halt it has to be said that many of the protesters are actually cleaned up those trolleys have stacked them neatly and many of those protesters now seem to have left the terminal having achieved their objective for 2 days running scot heiler has more for us for our sins and Mainland China. Shenzhen here is the gateway from Mainland China into hong kong territory behind me theres a Railway Station theres a bus station theres a way for pedestrians to make their way into hong kong territory now also whats been happening here in the engine over the last couple days is quite interesting you know there was a state run media that put out video and stills of armored personnel carriers and Paramilitary Forces gathering here in the city actually the Athletic Field just outside central now obviously this sends a message to those who are protesting in hong kong theres this big military force just across the border the Central Government says they are here for a large exercise its going to be happening over the next couple days this is coupled with the strengthening of rhetoric also coming out of beijing calling whats happening in some of those protests terrorism and saying that they will crack down with an iron fist but when you talk to people here in Mainland China about whats going on in hong kong they have a much different view than those in hong kong they say theyre frustrated theyre angry and theyre also scared we actually talked to some people who are going on their way into hong kong from Mainland China here one family was going to Hong Kong Disneyland and they said theyre frustrated because theyre worried about the safety of their children so obviously a much different view of whats happening in hong kong here in Mainland China russian doctors who treated people injured in a Nuclear Accident last week have been taken to moscow for a medical examination on thursday a rocket explosion at an offshore naval testing site near. A northwest killed at least 5 people radiation levels in nearby severed spiked to 16 times to normal levels no official explanation has been given the naval facility is a test site for Ballistic Missiles used by Nuclear Submarines will go to alan fischer in washington d. C. For reaction from the u. S. In just a few moments but 1st lets cross over to joining us from moscow to give us an update on what exactly is being said by all 40 is on that accident. Well not so much actually since thursday but today the press person of the president came out saying that the people should just follow the information the russian authorities is sharing with them and also about the already ation levels he said that the agencies of the government are working hard to of course and should the safety of all the civilians thats basically the only official comment that we had after we you know only today fit 5 days after the accident that these radiation levels had gone up in terms of the filth 16 times above the normal level so of course this is 5 days later and then also today only we heard that these medics these doctors who have been treating the victims of this explosion the mysterious explosion until now we dont know what exactly has exploded they have asked to be tested in moscow in a hospital and these tests are going to take 3 days and also there we dont know if this is going to be a test about radiation levels or anything out so theres a lot of conspiracy theories and suspicion going on and of course people are being reminded of for that happened in 1986 with the chair nobilis explosion of course at that time it was a very different scale at that time also there was an information blackout and that of course something that people were reese right now so what has the public reaction been. Well there we dont know its not so much because you have to remember that most of russia is so controlled by the state the media are controlled by did state so from suffered since we only know it in the beginning people were panicking and they were buying in to compensate for possible radiation levels but after today we know that their levels had gone up 16 times and the most actually was at a kindergarten we havent heard from any panic or any other reports from that city right now so it is a lot of questions being asked are they now being reassured because the levels have gone back to normal according to the authorities or it is still a lot of suspicion and we will know more about whats going on that in that city later on ok a sub arson with an update from moscow is that thank you lets find out of theres been any sort of official word of that out of the United States and bring in alan fischer whos joining us from washington allan what are you hearing. Well not so sure reaction or told from the state department or the Defense Department in washington what weve heard in the last couple of days is a statement from donald trump via its 2019 twitter of course he tweeted out the United States is learning much from the field missile explosion in russia we have similar though more advanced technology the russian skyfall explosion has people worried about the around the facility and far beyond not good critics of donald trump suggesting that he may have given that we state secrets by seeing we have similar or more advanced Technology Although its unlikely that the russians didnt know that the americans were working on Something Like this if they are but of course this is been technology that has been pursued by the United States in the fiftys and sixtys if the experts are to be believed that what russia was working on was a missile that could be fired to anywhere in the world powered by a Small Nuclear reactor tried by the americans. In the fiftys and sixtys and abandoned without much success and the problem with this has always been miniaturized getting things to small that they can actually do the job the timing is interesting because of course the United States recently pulled out of a Nuclear Treaty with russia and that prompted many to speculate that this will lead to a new arms race with Nuclear Weapons this still wasnt a Nuclear Weapon according to the experts so this wouldnt fall under the terms of the reagan era agreement that the americans pulled out of just a few weeks ago ok alan fischer with an update from washington thank you lets now bring in timothy loose so he is the director of the tour noble in Fukushima Research initiative hes also professor of biological sciences at the university of South Carolina is joining us via skype from phoenix thats in arizona thanks very much for speaking to us on the aljazeera news hour back to what our correspondent from moscow was saying that some are criticizing authorities for being extremely tight lipped about what exactly happened in this accident with many remembering in fact turn noble in 1986 this sounds like its a very different scale but in your opinion is there a comparison to be made over the information blackout then and now. Absolutely its very clear that very Little Information is being given out theres no indication of the stanton magnitude of the contamination we dont even know radioisotopes what radioactive materials were released as a result of this this accident and so without that kind of information its impossible to you know to assess the the risks and hazards of such accidents you know in control obviously we saw the release of vast amounts of a wide variety of radioisotopes and theyre still there and theyre going to be there for hundreds to thousands of years we really dont know what the situation is in russia as a result of this accident the one thing that authorities are saying is that radiation levels are around the site were up to 16 times higher than normal how significant is that and how alarming is it. You know if its certainly a large ive heard other reports of higher levels in different places again until we have some sort of a thorough map of the isotopes that were released and you know where they went how much is on the ground certainly the amounts that are in the air are seem to have dropped down from from the recent reports but we dont know what was deposited on the surface and help long theyll be there so theres so many Unanswered Questions at this at this stage that its really impossible to tell what what the long term consequences are what percentage of questions as a surveys about russells that weapons program. Well you know again i think. The Biggest Issue is do we as a as a planet and want. You know us like huge number of flying Nuclear Reactors that are you know prone to such accidents we spent the last few decades attempting to minimize the potential risks of such accidents and to open the door of these kinds of devices really opens the door for increasing risks related to Nuclear Power and our correspondent in washington was saying that the timing of this is very interesting seeing as the United States just recently pulled out of the i. N. F. Treaty that of course that landmark arms control treaty with with russia so do you think that this is going to now push the United States to develop more weapons to prevent russia from gaining a military advantage. You know its suggested by the courts going to do there have been ongoing efforts to develop these kinds of small keep generating reactors for a wide variety of purposes but mostly in space and. This is i think the 1st time its been suggested that we should be developing such technologies for terrestrial use and i think thats the major issue that we need. To get more information ok thank you its a myth it moves so for speaking to us from phoenix. To more head on the aljazeera news hour including the lockdown intensifies anger in indian controlled kashmir overshadows the muslim holiday off. And antibiotics have saved millions of lives but well tell you why theyre becoming less effective plus. I will harden in northern macedonia at the paragliding World Championships where the pilots and the sport are taking off. But 1st Scientists Say theyre a step closer to finding the 1st effective treatment for the bowl of virus ofter a Clinical Trial in the democratic republic of congo around 90 percent of patients who were treated early with the drug survived the w. H. O. Declare the outbreak in the d. R. See an International Emergency in july the epidemic is the 2nd worst on record with more than 800 People Killed so far the neighboring countries have been on high alert for months rwandan as well as Health Officials agreed last week to impose travel restrictions to prevent further spread of the highly contagious virus. Lets speak to Annika Alexander says a spokeswoman for the World Health Organization shes joining us live from geneva thanks very much for speaking to us on the aljazeera news our 1st talk us through the significance of the vaccinations. Its not vaccination this is particular child was not around the vaccination the vaccines have been used very effectively in country and have reached 190000 people and we think have averted hundreds of deaths and thousands of cases but today or yesterday the news that came out they were so happy to share is exactly what you said a giant step forward towards reaching eventually a cure what happened was there was a trial where 4 drugs were being trialed for trucks are being used in patients as they came into the Treatment Centers they were the 4 drugs that seemed the most promising and the body that analyzes the data saw that 2 were particularly strong were having those really good outcomes as you said that 90 percent of people who came in within the 1st 3 days for treatment were surviving and thats amazing for ebola usually its the other way around 90 percent of people who dont receive treatment will die so we are now that much forward knowing that 2 of these medications that exist in the world are very helpful for combating in bhola and now we we the research can go forward to find it to learn even more about these treatments but for now all the patients in every patient who comes into a Treatment Center will be receiving one of those 2 medications just back on the issue of survival rates so the best survival rates happens when patients receive treatments as youre saying in the 1st 3 days of contracting the virus so what youre saying is that the risk of survival remains low for anyone who has contracted the virus for longer than 3 days. Its not exactly its not from the time of contracting the virus its from the time that the symptoms start to show when right symptoms start to show that means the virus is strong in your body symptoms being a vomiting headache feeling very unwell so the virus can take 567 days before you start to have those symptoms and thats only when youre infected and if people as soon as they start to have those symptoms are able to access care then they have the better chance of survival thats why its not just a question of having the medications but making sure people have Treatment Centers near them that their staff trained up to administer the treatments and that people are willing and able to get to those Treatment Centers and receive care early and just talk us through the Treatment Centers and tell us how widespread these drugs are going to be available. So the good news is those drugs are already available across the affected areas in the country because they were being used either as part of the drugs in the Clinical Trial or on a compassionate use basis in the centers that werent participating in the trial so there are 14 centers in d. C. Right now where people are receiving treatment for ebola so 14 places that are run by partners such as a Lima International medical corps and m. S. F. And thats where people are receiving treatment for ebola so its its in the areas where there are there is the most infection and those centers are practically like intensive care units especially the ones where the trial is being run there is such a high level of care that never existed before any bowl affected areas in the olden days you bring patients in do the best you could and help them survive as best you could now the standard of care is much higher their monitored multiple times a day their organs are monitored levels of glucose and other elements in their blood are measured to make sure that theyre being brought up to the healthiest level they could possibly be at if they have malaria at the same time the treated for malaria the whole idea is to make the immune system strong so that it can combat the fire let me just ask you about whats happened on the ground because we have heard reports of Facilities Health facilities in particular being attacked we also know that communities there are deeply the stressful of vaccinations as well as drugs when it comes to ebola so does that have an effect on the number of people that are going to be able to get this drug. We figure it will be similar to tell we really get ahead of it the situation we similar to what it is now so people who are eligible for vaccination it is people who have been in contact with someone sick 90 percent of those people except to be vaccinated so on the one hand that shows acceptance on the other hand we were saying that people survive so much better when they come in that 123 days after symptoms onset people tend to come in now on average 4 to 5 days and means they have a worse outcome so how do we make people feel more safe and feel more trust worthy of these Treatment Centers a lot of it is really face to face its the teams that go into the communities that follow up with each sick patient follow up with their families explain to them how the Treatment Centers work why you should be treated in a Treatment Center rather than at home why you should come to a special i sent her rather than going to the usual clinic you might go to or the Health Worker you might go to all of that is interpersonal communication and thats why even though we have an excellent and effective vaccine and now even more knowledge about effective treatments still the work that really must continue and will continue is that face to face work the Community Work there surveillance where the analysis of where the outbreak is working all of that together is what will eventually end this outbreak our rights we thank you very much for speaking to us from geneva. Were taking about for top story Hong Kong Police have now arrived at the airport as you can see thats after thousands of protesters gathered there forcing a fortys to cancel all outbound flights from pastors have been peacefully gathering there for 5 days now hong kong is facing its most serious political crisis in decades following 10 weeks of increasingly violent street confrontations between police and protesters so youre looking at the live pictures right now from hong kong airport where the police have arrived lets bring in rob mcbride hes joining us on the telephone whats the situation at the airport rob what are you seeing. Yes thats it seems to be a developing situation here near the airport as you mentioned around 100. 00 officers. Arrived the. Departure of the protesters uncovered what they believe to be another cup a Police Officer now they say grabbed him. Sounds i guess because on him they have done the job on the internet they say that this has been proven to show that he does indeed seem to be a Police Officer and they have psychically been. Taping and now apple security has the. B right to be trusted because some of these b b. We understand the police have now also like to win the release. He says. He has now now there is going to handle it. But he and the crew of the county dont think 6 to take him away so we do have a developing situation with the least productive. In riot gear as they have apparently suppressed the demonstrators inside it is a very. Situation that you probably appreciate any sign of Police Officers at the moment shes very inflammatory to do it but the police themselves as they are to clear away the protesters they all believe that its hard to believe this man but it is the time standoff that approach you have thousands of protesters and still at this time of the day literally hundreds of cars just wondering how they are going to get out of hong kong because the. Flights cutting the thing they dont know when theyre going to be able to. A vote again but there is a developing developing situation at the apple but it seems as though the police are trying to make. The release it defeats you will. Likely be the situation but the real problem is literally so many people still in the school and and the International Community rob has certainly been watching including the United Nations which has been concerned over the use of force used by police against protesters. Thats right i mean the Police Tactics being used have certainly come under intense scrutiny as you mentioned a that has been a report from the United Nations High Commission on human rights with a report that has called for both sides to try to to try to talk to each other condemning any acts of violence acts of destruction of property but also like you mentioned that being very critical of some of these Police Techniques that we have seen being used that theres been a criticism for example of the firing of all pretty close ranks if you have a tear gas being fired in southwest stages which. A is kind of the the best its extremely dangerous even talk to be grateful for life with has been a lot of criticism that that is also a possibility we have the police being accused of firing tear gas canisters this high high was well. Apparently cool thanks to the school in doing so there has been a lot of criticism on the cold it was the tactics being used by the police in clearing demonstrations on saturday which at least to be used for protests is insulted in mondays massacre out coming out of the lock the hostages are the result of that which state similarly. Just coming out today to block the bill and compete continuing that campaign of telling of driving this is a homecoming of just about whats been going on here and about the alleged brutality of home hopefully all right rob mcbride with an update from hong kong thank you. An unprecedented security lockdown is keeping many people indoors in parts of indian controlled kashmir for a 90 day the muslim holiday of 4 years was overshadowed by anger over india decision to revoke the reason to. To me effectively an exciting New Territory hundreds of people defied the security clampdown and march in the capital straining our telephone lines internet and Television Networks of all been blocked since last monday our correspondent phase your mail has more from indian controlled kashmir. Almost no Major International news outlet has been reporting on the situation on tuesday from the crash near valley however the Associated Press is reporting a Strict Lockdown for the 9th day in a row and that some residents in some areas are running out of essential supplies both the biggest news Media Outlets have been reporting top government officials and their press conferences for example your principal secretary wrote consul has said on tuesday that restrictions had been relaxed in various parts of the region and that here in germany it was almost and it was actually entirely free of restrictions but we are selves have noticed that phone and internet restrictions remain in place here on monday srinagar the largest city in india to mr bush near saw the tightest restrictions since the beginning of the lock down when india stripped the region of its autonomy and on tuesday India Supreme Court has said that we expect normalcy but nothing can be done nobody knows what is happening and one has to rely on the government and quote adding that this whole issue was a sensitive matter lets me vice marshal is a retired officer for the Indian Air Force and has been part of Civil Society initiatives for conflict resolution and peace building regarding kashmir hes joining us from new delhi thanks for speaking to us on aljazeera so a lot of people saying that the security lockdown as well of the restrictions placed on kashmir are presumably to suppress any arrests and response to the loss of autonomy that people may feel when that were. I have doubts about their work in the long term. Youre not this been such a monumental decision in undoing the special relationship between a semi autonomous state. And the union of india which goes back 72. 00 yes now its been a unity that truman and some of the 3 steps taken by the Central Government of course it can take bold steps but this is a big but in consultation with the people who are affected by this unfortunately that has not happen and its laid down in the constitution of india so in a sense there have been some been made but as your reporter rightly said the Supreme Court at this moment which should pick obeisance of the issues which are affecting 7000000 people in the valley of kashmir been have to sooner or later take a decision on that mean by the government. Has to be has care although as you rightly said theres a complete. Blackout of everything and schools arent functioning colleges arent functioning businesses arent running Education Systems completely shouted people cant go their daily. Beat is famous the world over that all cities do so well and that is next and you ration we have to wait and watch. You know this is a very critical question to which no one can give you an answer but i can i can hazard an information order an analysis. Between. Knocking down. And the new general violence we see is an extremely critical one because neither the government nor the people of. The international system. Allow very very large casualties this is known to concern of the government and thats why you see the National Security advisor of india camping in the rally for ever since this problem began so i think it would have to be a watch or see situation. My reading is that were witnessing perhaps a 2nd wave of militancy after the 1992 disappear and i think militancy what. Shape it takes is difficult to forecast but the medias are stunned its an effect of shock and awe. Monument to change. Concerning the states linkages with what i know theres a fair amount of tensions with time because in an opinion i beg your pardon but in an opinion piece the ambassador of pakistan to the United States wrote this earlier this week that it is more urgent than ever for the u. S. To do what it can to prevent india from precipitating another crisis of course we know in the past the president from had offered to mediate between india and pakistan on the issue of kashmir but how willing do you think it is india to resolve the diplomatic tensions with pakistan with a mediator like the United States. Its most likely. Factual that the Prime Minister more to mediate most unlikely i have been studying me for over 2 decades i think one red rag to the Indian Border if anyone raises the question of a 3rd Party Interference in the issue primarily because the Central Government has had a very bad experience with the United Nations to the United Nations not the 6 and thought its intervention in me but we all know meters remain under assault for 72 years through Diplomatic Missions i think India Pakistan relations will go more and more in. I do not see any Movement Forward in that relationship in the months and years ahead of the mediation is the most unlikely order it is the initiative from both sides to each other also i believe as a security analyst someone who has been looking at India Pakistan very closely that there is a compulsion for the countries to go to each other but this step im afraid is going to be a big setback to that process of a possible dialogue between the 2 countries ok last thing i would like to also suggest to you. Does very briefly the entire world in this case is with india. Much. Situation in. Time. We thank you air vice marshal couple but weve run out of time thank you for joining us on the news hour still ahead in just a moment. In the shadow of conflict the syrians are making a little go a long way during an important a muslim holiday. Scored hundreds turned off for the funeral of a belgian cyclist killed during its drawer full of details coming up. You know that picture across much of the middle. Of course pushing across much of pakistan in the last couple of days wednesday should be a drive day few karate which is a good thing but the rains are still around and by thursday there is a chance of the coming.

Ready Level Education inspiring song time at this time. Hello again the top stories on the aljazeera news hour antigovernment protesters are crossing right police to hong kongs International Airport after protests there led to a Flight Cancellations for a 2nd consecutive day protesters had been peacefully gathering there for 5 days that fights have broken out as officers attempt to disperse them.

Scientists saying theyre closer to turning it into a preventable and treatable disease theyve been conducting Clinical Trials in the democratic republic of congo around 90 percent of patients who were treated early with the drugs survived. Well antibiotics have saved hundreds of millions of lives around the world but their increasing availability has led to over use and that has made many people resistant to these formalise vital medicines now in kenya researches say some. Antibiotics are simply not working reports from nairobi. This is a laboratory in nairobi run by kenyas medical Research Institute scientists investigating johns and bacteria that cause diseases with a special focus on antibiotic resistance this problem initially was only in hospitals but now were finding a lot of people who are in the community but by the time theyre getting to the hospital they are very very. Researches have concluded antibiotic resistance has been increasing for a number of reasons misuse of medicines including taking too much or not enough taking the wrong drugs also bad environment conditions at best infections in neighborhoods and hospitals and poor handling all packaging of antibiotics jacqueline simmias not aware of all those things. Has been feverish is vomiting and has diarrhea its a typical case of a sawmill a disease that kills 45000. 00 kenyan children every year and resists most antibiotics in the market she took layla to a neighborhood chemist which in itself is a mistake in the most company i took much of the chemist because she was getting worse i got some medicine this one and another one but shes not improving they did not test her they looked at her and i told them the symptoms and they give me the medicine there many chemists off cysts operating without license this woman told us not to reveal her identity she has no formal education in medicine yet thousands of people depend on how to help them when they fall sick but i did not finish Nothing School but in 2013 a friend of mine taught me about medicine for 5 months i then walked with another pharmacist here for a while and when he had to leave i took over the chemist.

For a job the she joins the queue of disemployment agency hoping like the rest to secure work as a housemaid a job that used to be easy to find but no longer nothing call. If i dont work i can pay for my rent my bills my food without a salary how can i survive for me its essential that the director of the agency says the number of chileans looking for work is skyrocketing. Now with the last week i was that employment fair before 85 percent of candidates were immigrants now its 5050 that means that a lot more people are looking for this kind of work for the 1st time so we are trying to train in places with. The sharp rise in unemployment is just one of the direct consequences of the escalating trade dispute between the u. S. And china. The price of copper chillies main export has fallen 17 percent this year the value of the chilean piss off regarded as one of the most stable in latin america has dropped to its lowest level in more than 3 years making imports more expensive. Chiles export based economy is particularly vulnerable to what it clown a missed call external shock so what affects its main trading partner china has a direct impact on words for. The. Price. Paid.
