Castro aljazeera El Paso Texas the United States will have a new acting intelligence chief on thursday but retired admiral joseph requires appointment may only be temporary he replaces dan coats who often clashed with the president the changes have again exposed tunnel trumps contentious relationship with his Intelligence CommunityWhite House CorrespondentKimberly Holcomb reports. Fractures in the relationship between President Trump and director of National Intelligence dan coats were sometimes exposed in public and in real time we have some breaking news the white house has announced on twitter last summer it was an american journalist who broke the news to coats that the white house had invited russian president Vladimir Putin to washington not the president coming here. Ok. That moment left americans wondering who was in charge of the sprawling collection of 17 intelligence agencies including the n. S. A. And cia there were concerns raised when trump named a political loyalist congressman John Ratcliffe as coaches replacement seeming to value loyalty over experience with somebody strong that could really rate it is because as i think youve overheard the intelligence agencies have run a bar but ratcliffe got a lukewarm reception in the u. S. Senate that would have to confirm him when his resume was found to be lacking he withdrew trampling the media as i felt that congressman radcliffe was vacated very unfairly i was reading the press critics say trumps demand for loyalty is eroding the ability of intelligence officials to properly do their jobs theyre supposed to provide unvarnished assessments but thats not always what the president wants to hear engines will be much more reserved in their efforts to carry out these kinds of investigations both with respect to mr trump other politicians because it does open up this hornets nest trump 2nd choice for d. N. I. Named on twitter is retired admiral Joseph Mcguire a decorated navy seal who currently heads the National Counterterrorism center now as acting director of the d. N. I. He inherits the an enviable task of delivering intelligence trump has often disagreed with. Including whether north korea will abandon Nuclear Weapons as collating confrontation with iran and russian interference in u. S. Elections whats unclear is whether donald trump plans to formally nominate Joseph Maguire to be the director of National Intelligence or if he sees the post as temporary given trumps demand for loyalty and mcguires reputation for offering unvarnished intelligence assessments kimberly helped at aljazeera the white house the heart of what was venezuelas Booming Oil Industry used to be the city of market as traceable reports the gateway to the Worlds LargestProven Oil Reserves is a symbol of the economic collapse under socialist roll.

But with rapid economic expansion came a boom in consumerism a growing waste problem which is the governments next target it wants a standardized nationwide rubbish sorting system to be in place in the next 6 years and shanghai is seen as the big test the citys residents produce more than 22000. 00 tons of waste per day among the contributors is chinas growing love affair with Food Delivery Services which is now a 70000000000. 00 Industry Experts agree that education could be improved but the new initiative is a significant step china is still coming from.

Welcome to the stream im only millions of people in indian administered kashmir are still living under curfew 9 days after indias pro hindu government revoked its in my autonomous status how are kashmiris coping and what lies in store for them during the conversation through twitter and you tube. Articles 370. 35 a what i wonder said to be on indias borders a few days ago but the striking out of these losses jolted indian administered kashmir and children with neighboring pakistan which also administers part of kashmir thousands of paramilitary soldiers are on the streets of kashmir after the Indian Parliament approved a decree stripping its rights to make internal laws and the Prime MinisterNarendra Modi of the Ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has heralded what he calls a new era for kashmir but hundreds of people ranging from political activists to University Professors have been arrested and a Communications Blackout in kashmir is outside the region cannot contact relatives in kashmir including during mondays festival. Know what they do look. You put it takes you know whats going on. One moment you might even mine with the next moment you will have it not knowing what is going. Is to leave your relatives visit your friends. Just over his interview and theyre just going to play with. One of those for his face difficulties contacting family in kashmir is natasha cole associate professor of politics and International Relations at the university of westminster she is london based but today joins us from montevideo uruguay baba omar is a cautionary journalist at the world he joins us from istanbul and completing our lineup as. A professor and dean at the gentle school of International Affairs he is in new delhi welcome to the stream everyone to thank you for staying up late for us i want to share the comments of a few of our Community Members because so many people asked us to do the show and have lived experiences they wanted to share so this is just one who says i havent heard a single human voice from the region in over 10 days havent heard from my ailing grandmother no idea of my parents have essential and medicines another person suffer as our land is in lockdown we havent been able to talk to our families for 10 days now we have been humiliated beyond measure and one more here for harnesses today is the 10th day of military siege of kashmir by Indian Forces where people have been restricted inside their homes and all communication to the outside world has been cut down baba what this is past week been like for your family members and friends who are in kashmir. Well its been hell i mean its the 1st time that there is a needed muslim festival and you not being able to contact her relatives and and their parents because you know literally does an unprecedented communication blockade is unprecedented and which was never seen before like weve been through 2008 of mass protests 2010 mossel uprising and then 2016 but even then this kind of logged on wasnt wasnt seen so all the kashmiris were being outside i would been outside schmear they were going through a very bad phase and then and emotions have been you know theyve been running really really high and theres an anger as well so so like push me is like me we feel like cut off from our parents and then we also see at the same time our rights have been you know literally abrogated without without without without kashmiris being taken into into confidence or cognizance and i think this anger is is building and its kind of a wall to know thats waiting to burst. The taj what about for you and your family members have you been able to reach anyone. Well i have friends who are like family and it is deeply worrying and there is dead is just no justification for anything like this to happen this is this is its unimaginable and its unjustifiable by any standards to all population and demand to see why look at the same time claiming to be developing them and not let them celebrate best will not let them communicate with their friends and you can imagine the amount is stress that it causes everyone there and you know people who might need to go to hospital who might be ill who might want to hear from other. You know i mean just amazed that there isnt more white bread and significant condemnation of whats going on this is all population literally being put into a cage and isolated and want to share the perspective of one more person who says very similar things we got a video comment from her the says but here she is a former pro journalist for reuters and an independent researcher and heres what she told us being. Hired today is that then the day of communication blackout of the schmidt have not been able to contact my parents in the last 10 days nor have they read it is not something you hear from democratic setups in North Koreans have access to internet locally this. Is completely unprecedented and so not only about disenfranchising the people of the status spot its also about denying them basic dignity and human rights. Why now in your perspective from your viewpoint why do you think that this reebok ation happened now. Well 1st of all i want to say that a lot of these you know expressions of alarm and anger are not justified and in fact the contain quite a grain lot of exaggeration the humanitarian situation the medical supplies the essentials law and order you know movement of people within their communities and the look at all of these all of them are going on people often rely on the people came out and you know did what they had to encourage me so i think you know this projection that somehow its under lockdown i challenge that 1st of all its biased and not based on objective reality secondly why did we do this not why did india do this why did not in the movie do this. Revocation of the special status was necessary to bring cash meat into the National Mainstream what happened was that kashmir had developed into a very vicious. Polarized society just more and crush me as it was known 68 percent were muslim 28 percent were hindus and 2 percent of the stand and sikhs know what was going on within this under the garb of the special status was that because really muslim elites some dynastic families had won a police power and were in some kind of coolish ns with the. Other parties from general which is hindu majority and they were actually rising in the dark so what was going on was it was a kind of. A majority within a minority and that was what had to be broken that will be the motive for mr modi to do this and secondly you see administratively social as well as economic really. Going well under the law so you dont like something i hear your point natasha i want to comment and i will just say before you do natasha i will destroy but i want to make this clear for our audience of course that were here. In from people online and from our aghast that communications of course are down in kashmir and so for you to say that everything is fine if our guest our other guests are saying everything is not fine its hard to know when were not allowed in and when journalism is not allowed to happen so i do want to push back on that point a little bit but let us know what point did you want to make in it can i just refute can i just refute the facts from what street im just said there is a very simple way of demonstrating that a population is not under siege allow them to speak why are the only good movies that anyone in the world is able to reach right now to talk about are all being. Allowed are going to be. Regarded. You know i am sorry looking and you know you know just for you to look at. You know just youre having your collateral thing out which is making it hard for you know youre right on top of that it touches anything a point and she let you make your point on it. So firstly if thats not the case let him go. Secondly to see that we were allowed to carry is hardly but we do understand the misery that the shootings are undergoing right now and i know that today was not allowed to scream their results at the press club hardly to see that this is about mainstream English Media in what we it is about how can bush midis be mainstreamed in all of this what this is doing is mainstream english medium doing good but agenda and lastly the point you dont just made about elites well these are precisely the elites that allowed. You know all of which will initially you saw what is mr movie got to complain about in that you get i respond to this please. Yes you said. The situation on the ground is not at all as you know or terrible as you are portrayed to be and secondly but how do you now see it and i want to hear your point but id love to know how you know that where where your information is coming from. A lot of work and you just regions are temporary even if you can not meant to be whatever youre going to nominate the situation month by month week by week and in fact the government already and i know it depends did we do 50 dividers gradually but if you choose i mean look to protect the restriction to be made when its used and i dont see how i reached the power works actually study like you are i believe to be tolerant. And you should visit me and if the. Percentage will go ahead. To be seen and i dont feel we should be she got mounted also so you know if you say you know im quoting government off the shelves i mean why should we trust the Government Official they have been lying since day one they said we feel a terrorist threat and they sent police to the Houseboat Hotels and the man is to you know kick out the pilgrims and the 2 is out of kashmir then the. Indian leaders they went to meet to go and and all the talk shows just going and going not doing a lot drink or 370 or 35 then suddenly he is. At says he doesnt love that in order to finish his point i hear the point youre making about pakistan which of course we will talk about but right now were talking about in the end in a certain kashmir things up here point. So im single eventide template then our discourse has been built on lies there was a smokescreen that was created that there is a terrorist threat to the pilgrims and the Tourist Police went to the hospital they went to the or tails and houseboats and they told the pilgrims to leave bashir you know and the pro indian politicians were of the american movie and all these guys they went to see mr garner they went to see mr morley and they were they were they were told that india will not tinker with 35. 00 iraqi 70 but what happened ultimately is in the dogs actually the same which is it promises not to do so why should we try to go and so you mentioned the government and i want to play it back up from the Prime Minister himself here in germany have a listen to what he said about this from vocation hum
