Continue to blame each other it is the people in their thousands in small villages who are stuck here. Well the authorities in indian administered kashmir say some primary schools have reopened and exactly 2 weeks after new delhi revoked the regions semi autonomous status the area has since been in lockdown on sunday hundreds of people marched through to protest against the recent changes but over the weekend india relaxed some of its restrictions and despite the lifting of some of those restrictions there are concerns about human rights abuses a number of civilians say theyve been targeted by Indian Forces during the lockdown aljazeera spoke to 2 people who suffered life changing injuries.

Now russia is to investigate alleged foreign interference in its forthcoming local elections in moscow there are concerns that quotes foreign meddling is encouraging unauthorized rallies a Parliamentary Committee has now agreed to set up a special commission the police are violently broken up big demonstrations of opposition candidates banned from running in that election lets go live now to step in whos been at the state duma Council Meeting in moscow step what evidence do they have. Well peter thats a very good question after his emergency session here at the state duma no further evidence has been provided yet what we do know is that the deputy head of the u. S. Embassy was called in last week for a notification on their website about some unsanctioned rallies basically showing a map of the route as well according to the embassy this was basically to warn its citizens not to go to that area but according to Parliament Members here this could be a sign to actually encourage people to go to that area another medium that now being scrutinized as you tube because of notifications they apparently have been sending about Live Streaming of these unsanctioned rallies and also the dog show rather has been mentioned for a tweet and which also according to look to lawmakers here they encourage people to go to this rally further we havent heard anything we havent or also heard any proof we just interviewed the deputy of the state duma mr trotsky and he also said that this whole investigation has to provide this evidence and it is still a possibility there isnt any evidence of this foreign interference but where is this now all about of course claim this foreign interference card is basically distracting also the attention from the real reasons behind a protesters basically saying that these people have no real reasons to go onto the streets and that theyre basically only being encouraged by foreigners and thats in their own narrative that the state duma basically is now trying to play here right now clean is involved. Well they have now sad that they are going to call in journalists foreign journalists maybe people from the Deutsche Welle as well and also diplomats of which they think have been in for in this interference its also not clear how long. This investigation will last they sad that if they find something then they could change legislation or they can go to European Countries and to. Provide this evidence and make sure did they know that this has been happening its also not clear what exactly the Legal Framework is at the moment for these people to come in journalists and diplomats to be actually questioned here but this whole thing will only be formalized when the horse they stayed comes back from a recession thats still happening right now thanks very much. Ok the chinese tech giant hallways being given a slight reprieve from the u. S. Its total ban on access to u. S. Supplies is being delayed or will be allowed to continue buying components from the u. S. Used in its current products the commerce secretary wilbur ross has to give American Companies time to wean themselves off walkway washington accuses the telecom phone maker of building a backdoor for Chinese Intelligence Services into the 5 g. Network and we could joins us live now from washington. Yeah a little bit of a surprise because only yesterday u. S. President donald trump was saying that it was unlikely that his administration would gradually prevail everyone goes to bed in the United States wakes up and boom wilbur ross is on Television National television and now saying that in fact there was another 90 day reprieve that was going into effect now in all of this what the u. S. Government has done is added 46 more companies to the socalled entity list that includes while way as you point out essentially this means that u. S. Businesses cant work with these individual companies this is what theyre banned from doing in terms of all of this why is this happening now well as you mentioned a lot of these companies that are involved with while we here in the United States side are in rule areas and there are 2 problems with that not only do they need time to wean it off its because many of these rural areas then would not have the Internet Access for example that many people need and this is also a very big part of Donald Trumps support base as they look ahead to the president ial election so theres a little bit of political strategy in all of this and also some practical strategy as well is that also a bit of a measure of his can believe how integrated is to the American Fabric the american way of life because the internet is every place for everyone of course is like water to all of us these days that if you pull the plug on hopefully youll get a way to pull the plug on themselves people use the internet. Yeah and there are incredibly quite big portions of Rural America that still dont have Internet Access and so this is a challenge for the trumpet ministration not only to deal with that but not see many rural customers losing what little they already have but theres another aspect to this that isnt necessarily the tech aspect but more the business side of things you have to remember peter that while way has become a bit of a bargaining chip in this broader trade war with china that weve been talking about for so many months this ask elating trade war turned currency war this battle between the United States and china just continues to escalate and while way is in the midst of this and so u. S. President donald trump was talking about that on sunday he said that he believed that those things are in terms of the discussions are going very well but there isnt sort of any sign that theres going to be a deal between the United States and china just yet because of the concerns of backdoor espionage internal actual property theft that the United States still doesnt feel has been resolved now this is a high stakes game for the u. S. Government because there are projections of a looming recession this is a very sort of troubling for many u. S. Consumers that feel that they just want to be certain that things are going to stay stable they see some uncertainty and all of that what the white house is saying is look at so far were going to export this report even place keep things as they are we also know that our trade representatives are going to be talking in about 10 days and if all goes well we should have china coming to the United States in september so its very much the appearance right now of the white house trying to keep things under control kimberly thanks very much. Time whether his journey still not old some still some summertime weather and in your opinion although youd be hard pushed i think to know.

K.

Children play cricket calling it the great game its a hangover from british colonise ation in the region if these children are unaware of another great game played when their modern history began. In 1900. Between russia pushing south and the british expanding from india. Afghans fought to retain the sovereignty but were pitted li occupied by the british to the treaty was signed in 1919 decades later during the cold war afghanistan was again stuck between 2 world powers russia and the United States in 1959 eisenhower became the 1st u. S. President to visit the country both nations called it afghanistan influence leading to rapid botanizing nation in a more liberal afghanistan in the fiftys and sixtys. All came to afghanistan on Christmas Eve 1979 and never left the soviet Union Invaded and took kabul within 3 days. Islamic guerrilla fighters known as the mucha who dean fought back with u. S.

Young. Son believed it up to understand his thoughts and his senses by the soviet union and by the United States of america or through the tunnel the u. S. Invaded in 2118 years later having spent 8 100000000000. 00 and with 13000. 00 troops in country its negotiating its withdrawal with the taliban so far the Afghan Government isnt involved but those talks could mark the start of a new afghanistan that dance hopefully they can shake their identity without the 3 civil war or interference. Or kabul back to the States Donald trump says he wants to reduce the number of american troops in afghanistan to fewer than 13000 nearly 14000 stationed there as of today and mr trump also praised progress in talks with the taliban and the Afghan Government. Were talking to afghanistan or both the government and or also talking to the taliban having very good discussions well see what happens weve really got it down to probably 13000 people and well be bringing it down a little bit more and there will decide whether or not well be staying longer or not we have been very good discussions with the taliban who have a very good discussions with the Afghan Government i think its very important that we continue intelligence there in all cases because it is somewhat of a nest for him to get us and we have things under control very well with a small force we can probably make it a little bit smaller and then well decide it will depend on the taliban it will depend on the Afghan Government but there is a case to be made and the case also is that were going to be leaving very significant intelligence behind for just the reasons i stated. Police in Northern Island see an explosion near the border with the Irish Republic targeted Law Enforcement offices the blast went off in the area of what will bridge near to where the police were examining a suspicious Device Police believe the hoax device was meant to law and Kill Police Officers nobody was injured. It appears to spread to more areas in the d r c the democratic republic of congo a 3rd case is now being confirmed in south kiev who 1st was discovered last week more than 700 kilometers away from where the virus was 1st found more than a year ago nearly 2000 people have been killed protest organizers in hong kong say more than 1000000 antigovernment demonstrators rallied into the night on sunday they showed up despite heavy rain in one of the biggest gathering since june thomas was back on the streets on monday morning heres what he saw. I spoke to one of the organizers lights on sunday and she told me that the rally was a huge success one primary reason turnout at the organizers said in advance that they were hoping that half a 1000000 people would type what they say 1700000 people at some point were busy either in Victoria Park where the official rally was or was part of the throng in the streets around and that number doesnt even include those who came subsequently in march to where i am in Central Hong Kong today i think the overall number has been in excess of 2000000 putting it at a poll with one of the big rallies that they held back in june and thats despite all the violence that we have seen but smaller rallies are up smaller rallies since the beginning of july so they would say what they are saying but that proves they still have ordinary mainstream hong kong Public Opinion on their side now i should say that the place for the much lower number on the turnout they say that he Victoria Park itself about 130000 people but i dont include those in the streets around nevertheless it was a huge number and that despite to break to try to right the other way was a success is the way that it ended not with bodies and now it is in hong kong thats the exception rather than the rule the organizes the civil human rights front of one point side of that proves that it isnt a radical element that is cooling all these democratic reforms in hong kong for the resignation of the chief executive kerry lamb and pull the legal withdrawal of this contradiction controversial extra the. It is mainstream hong kong but still wants that so thats where were at will see where we go from here if they can keep the numbers on the streets keep the violence down and this debate could continue in a civil way rather than the same to the way weve seen recently well the organizers of sundays protest so strongly criticized hong kong officials comparing them to tell a tarion regime. Those who have watched how hong kong ers had organized themself with grace and fluidity at yesterdays demonstration would agree that the people have once again bunked the police this groundless presumption that demonstrations post frats to Public Safety there is no end as to how far the government would go in crushing the basic human rights of its people making it no different to any of those totalitarian regimes in history 22 years on since the hangover we have not only been unable to actualize true democracy those rights and freedom promised to us also being snatched away one after another.
