he gallagher has more from washington d.c. this is a clear message from the president in that he feels completely vindicated in the impeachment trial and now we can pretty much do what he wants to tell and colonel alexander didn't was actually a school trip from the white house i was before the golden saundra was fired you know potentially ending his military career this is the ukraine expert someone who's a decorated war veteran from iraq he's now been sent back to the defense department but this does send a clear message from president trump he clearly feels vindicated but he clearly feels vindictive as well. china's government is struggling to stop the spread of the corona virus with $81.00 more people reported dead in her bay province overnight that takes the death toll across china now to at least $722.00 well earlier i spoke to matthew smith he's one of thousands of passengers and crew stuck on board a cruise ship in the japanese port of yokohama the ship now has $61.00 confirmed cases of the virus he says he's hopeful he'll be allowed off after the 14 day quarantine period yesterday and the captain informed us that according to the japanese health officials that absent further development we would be allowed to go in february night. if the quarantine is doing what it's intended to do was keep everybody separate from when it was instituted on wednesday morning the fact that additional cases are developing is likely from should be from infection that occurred or the coins and more holes that they're not resetting every time they discover one which would seem to be a little bit of an overreaction you have in the nature of the coin team but frankly we recognize that anything could happen at this point we're hopeful to get off on the 19th but are open to the possibility of or if you might be. israeli forces have shot dead another palestinian in the occupied west bank the 5th in 48 al there's a funeral procession has been held for one of the victims a

headlines the news continues here in such of india so stay with us on account of their. rules orwell or. i'm in northern india on the banks of the ganges in the holy city of are not seen. this is one of the oldest inhabited places on earth and like rome or jerusalem it serves as a kind of cosmic center for india's 1000000000 hindu those. behind this image of religious harmony india faces a crisis minorities including over $200000000.00 muslims an underlying current of violence among brutality and death at the hands of hindu hardliners. and it mirrors the rise of the so-called hindutva or hindu nationalist politics and of india's ruling the heart of the agenda party the b j p along with its leader in the modi. is. said. to look for speed. because. this is a deeply religious country in the middle of a battle for his soul and it is no surprise that it was this place that the hindu nationalist leader in the ranger modi chose his election battle republic saying it's powerful symbolism in a new time. my name is out there i'm a writer and a columnist. i live in new york but was raised in new delhi the capital of india by my indian mother my strange father was a politician from pakistan despite this mixed heritage and passionate about india the country i love and will always consider to be home. but in a recent article i wrote criticising prime minister modi for his policies on muslims and other minorities political leaders attacked me as a foreigner wrongly calling me a muslim and a pakistani i'm neither with no right to interfere in indian affairs. with minorities under attack and criticism of the prime minister now seen as an affront to the nation itself freedom of speech is becoming a dangerous thing i've returned home to see for myself what life is like for india's minorities in this land of one and a quarter 1000000000 people it. was an event that out in the middle made their way into city an armful of the villages to disentangle up the money. i'll meet with the unfortunately terms of violence on the streets bonds have been the only of us had a lot of the tough tone on the park or the no school or the school johnson mob. i'll meet with the vigilantes who go out at night to hunt down cow smugglers. classical which would not have put that out yet. is he there for you want the us and you got to see that affirmative bit of that i hear from hindus who support the modi government's pro hindu agenda hindu is making up to get back that but its place is off his ancestors. and from those who don't. are hindu too or is actually reducing the great philosophical majesty of the hindu faith into. something more like the team identity of the british football league and i want to prove once and for all is india the inclusive secular country i grew up in say for muslims and other minorities or is it on a journey to become a hindu dominated nation. and one that's a danger to itself. that. we're approaching one of the most historically contentious places in india to see the white mosque that that was built by the emperor or is it i can't say it's on the bones of an old temple which was really the holy of holies and pathetic it was hinduism is most important temple the kashi vishnu not that the 17th century muggle ruler or unsaved had destroyed building this began the mosque on its ruins a smaller version of the temple dedicated to the hindu dead the ship was built in the shadow of the mosque that sits on the bones of the original town. you can see the temple with its gold spire really they will break it up for the fact that the sanctum sanctorum of the city had been torn down and destroyed. in destroying the holiest temple or example dealt hindus a humiliating blow one that still keenly felt today. muslim invaders came here. not only to this place but to keep me going wasn't at the largest the gilded laxalt people big destroyed left lax of empathy or simply to build mosque or that place. feel ashamed of themselves. came there. and it was considered as sick as. muslims and jails along for the sights of conditions like this temple was that these were removed simply 200 in 2000. this violent history has local muslims fearing the mosque may be attacked but centuries on while muslims and their landmarks under threat now. in recent years a wave of hindu hardliners have attacked religious minorities many muslims. it's a form of mob violence known as cow vigilanteism aimed at the trade in cattle. cows are sacred to hindus but india is a major beef and love for export or the sale slaughter and consumption of cows mainly by muslims in the low cost puts them at odds with hindus who take offense. these coverage atlantic are patrolling the state border between roger stone and how they are now in northwest india. they're on the trail of cow smuggling illegal. all over the recovery. because. well yes you deal with a little bit. different states have different laws on cow trading and slaughter which traffickers take advantage of. this is a known smuggling point in recent months the vigilantes have intercepted several trucks here with cows on board. level which was not a book yet or just to give the current economy ramblings he said go to the concert when i get a look in the home of b. of a struggle at the end goal what that will keep the studies going the. chapter g. want to ask or just the how to get crewman not going to get quote got cut out of that i'm good at shutting it down go to excess it could be with me putting it. in july 28th teen rock work on a muslim cattle trader was attacked by car vigilantes as he led a small herd of cows along a route truck. a few hours later he was dead. i've travelled to rock village in noon in the state of hardy honor to meet his family. a source. of. cinnamon to their home down not out think up to the honey. we're living here again to him mark. and i and europe but. the longer we're out there time. this time bond one that only the bus had the top phone on the park or the no school or the school johnson was no more low bar and the else could do to me than a lot of. the lower underground. and i will not let the in a bucket of warm feeling warm and. when i'm. going to hear. that. tony was a commodity having their car from 205 if your car keys even know. what a concept. it was as a rock but. that was. that was gone the cliff was an empty. one with the sun on a fire in the wide capacity. the number of different girl of a couple was dying oh ok i'll walk up ask them a part of the was a most. recognizable. whoppers mccarver then it will never list. so this is. the most wanted out i was sad about the last thing. on many of us who like you guys the. book is out big room right. jean but really sad to go back a very sad to have a woman at the fair go around legan with her all tied up in mosul money going to. the guy coming to come over from within the muslim on one american born and. yeah some muslim man will cut. this woman on a. foot or this can that easily. drag around to other men to show we know but here tomorrow. morning our chore boy. to do lunch is we matter took us through what happened to rock. they claim he was attempting to smuggle cows across the state border between rogers town and her yana they told us in rajasthan the trade in cows for meat is fast route to the neighboring harry and. they took us to the field where akbar was attacked. yes he's either say you want the he hasn't got to see a farmer to put a bigger one to see the little thing border but there. was a long ago he. saw some of that anger to me. recently and it's a you'll dig it over an old guy will absolutely impossible and i will it out as a don't know. sure no luck yes luck a little luck on the body. ok. this picture of rock was taken by vigilante before the police took him away he was in police custody for over 3 hours when they delivered him to a community health center he was dead. get on the gun because guess ima beat it but you know what did the. java took started in java to calculate that it was because of college a good school calculus because of a political monies. that. rock but it was just one of dozens of muslim men attacked in the last few years for trading in. the. khan was a cattle trader who's lynched as he transported cows through the town of the hare or in the state of roger stand in northwestern india. he and a few others were dragged from the vehicles where they were beaten by a mob. that. all of our dogs live in. it is what people. consider seconded by and tied into something. it is not a method of eating habits it is a method of expecting the fate that expecting the law flick i can not ask for. fix meat in muslim countries. why they can ask for beef in india. protection is. right from the beginning a duty of in those of this country and free i have god lord soft whites to see. 6 men were put on trial for the murder of pellew khan all of them were acquitted due to insufficient evidence. following stays elections in 2018 the congress party replaced the b.g.p. in rogers time they passed an anti lynching law and launched an appeal against the judgment. in northern india i'm curious to hear the views of traders at this catholic market . could you see about which way are people going to push. his mother his family's going down the operation he gave him if he. is on the market is neither. of you is going to because i'm going to tell you some topics and money doesn't come or any one of. them go missing that i'm sure not going to get there no no money in going to come out of them which i'm here. from where i'm all the time. in ones of the. same no going down low and i you know what i don't know but i need to. get out to haiti i'm going to forget that i'm here but i mean if you want you've got less people going to get. a good year yes it's a. hindu muslim god sagal yeah going to go up with him out in the stand make it sound sauce and when i guess i can when i get to say mills you look at somebody just. sometimes they're more they just sort of got a gypsy in the muslim yeah. that was really fascinating because the collars boni in hinduism the suddenly the whole cattle trade has been weaponized they were recounting incidents throughout the country where cattle has been used to target muslims finally when i said that my you afraid this is just this terrible fear among the community and we don't know what the future will look like that if it continues in this way it could be a really troubling very disruptive future between 2 communities that have lived next door. to each other for centuries. i was struck by the fears the cattle traders were confiding in me. i wondered how ordinary hindu saw things. b.j. bionic it more the i think about the would be to it then albert yes and yes i'm going to get your thoughts on the fact that i am not on the fundamental but of the views of some of the at the no way am i going to assume in your music you said i said i was a monocle boy cut the name ali moore if you. can wish them good good thing to do is add to the middle ages and have image of getting a man a good man and given him an a go it is a very different picture from what we've been hearing from muslims and it's very convincing but they have. predation india's most populous state there are 44000000 muslims amongst its population of over 230000000. its chief minister is you view that a prominent figure in 112 hindu nationalist politics to many he's a divisive figure and he's behind the youth movement accused of involvement in communal violence he maintains that today's problems are the result of hundreds of years of conflict. in a 2015 speech he reportedly said it was his intention to place statues of hindu gods in every mosque. i wanted to talk to him. about his views on muslims and the beef and cattle trade. he declined my interview request with his biographer and political analyst champloo gupta is willing to talk to us. a kind of clash of civilizations a civilization which came from outside it brokered temples bonder lebanese destroyed your social education systems india is still coming comes to it. if he wants to see historical justice done on behalf of the hindus what would that justice look like what would he like to see how the drug which the b.g.p. the present i think they would want the ancient indian knowledge to be respected 2nd is not limited to these kind of harsh rulers and what they did with 6 everyone knows leg headscarves. it's almost like i come to your house and destroy a whole house and you name your house after money this kind of history could all over the world but you do have it all by hitler or any of it i've never seen i've never quite a lot. in the cattle market in merit i spoke to the teahouse where the owners of former slaughterhouse workers. time some of my mom can. get a sandwich wonder how good it was never done to the us other than you were you don't muslim get i'm huge i can look on it must be much good if you're. on the. mall going to formal give you the same piece. because they have never been out there with some 1st bromance with there's a little oh you're so god you tell us they are going to thank you slim gone people of. what i am going to be i am at the gate when i george pantani he was just going to. achieve. no money in the gym. with. the we love our life and it is. but. that is how the. op was mic i'm going to say. this is the mother. of the political the minister together. the budget little. boys suddenly all of the law you know is roaming around e.u. . you don't know if you want to be a go we want to. go with thank you but. most of the $100.00. and they cannot be $200.00 day maybe it's. going to live on them even if we want to get a. little bit. bigger can be. we could have a good one you could you. know this could be. one of the things that mean it. gets on the song. that michael is on. good at all but again but as it was a local seeking to make it. easy to live with us what's the thought out of the supposed to be so. much about. in a country like india it's often hard to know for sure if this is the whole story but it's clear that people feel that they are being persecuted. mom a dish they are going sorry is one of many casualties of the yogi government a man of business reduced to pan yury overnight thousands like him have been affected in the state of what the for the and even before this festival of the there is a sense of fear and trepidation. but hardliners be the vigilantes all politicians are not many obsessed with protecting college. i. was. just. one day i might be covering politics major and the next i might be protesting from serbia to hungary the what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they're going through so that i can be the headlines in the most human way possible. here and i just you know we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. hello again i missed all the attack and the headlines on al-jazeera now the fallout from donald trump's impeachment trial continues with 2 key witnesses being fired golden songs and the u.s. ambassador to the e.u. is the latest to be removed from his post just hours after ukraine expert lieutenant colonel alexander than than than winslow is calling his removal an act of revenge by the president hours earlier trump said he wanted benjamin gone well i'm not happy with it because supposedly happy with the bomb not they'll make that decision you'll be hearing they'll make a decision and you've got to has more from washington d.c. . there's a clear message here from the president in that he feels completely vindicated in the impeachment trial and now we can pretty much do what he wants to tell and colonel alexander did and was actually a school did from the white house hours before gordon song was fired you know potentially ending his military career this is the ukraine expert someone who's a decorated war veteran from iraq he's now been sent back to the defense department but this does send a clear message from president tom p. clearly feels vindicated but he clearly feels vindictive as well well the latest us democratic presidential debate is currently under way ahead of their next critical test the new hampshire primary on tuesday hopefuls have been discussing trump's impeachment and health care will be bringing you all the latest on that were chinese government is struggling to stop the spread of the coronavirus with 81 more people reported dead in here province overnight that takes the

headlines and now it's back to in search of india still stay with us here on al-jazeera. i'm about to see you i'm in india on a journey of discovery i want to know one some fool is india the inclusive secular country i grew up hearing say for muslims and other minorities or is it on a path to become a hindu dominated nation my. c life. 5 i've come to see budget conscious choice on a so-called anti love jihad war. his movement claims to be working muslim men who tend to be hindus so as to seduce new girls and force them to convert to islam. it's not our job you know the america where i mean i have our son. i'm with him on the i can make it he wanted to go it was obvious i'm like a man who is going to be out who got the job should not the army should i give up i believe that the members of the. middle you know them if i that was developed is going among these members of opinion it was quite effective but i didn't find that they did they got to be in the area they were so it was just sort of a case of it would just mean they are nontrivial them up when we ended up in the band of the game decided i would and i'm going to get in the book i'm going to go get the good job with the. i think they look at bennigan's the opposite doubling of the alcohol would we're going to get the harmful cancer but then again you want to think you don't got the guess is that you go in with a almost yes evil began look at issue not only with under the i'm not here hotel given to the n.p.r. we don't need you know he's at the meeting i mean if i was a little late if i can really make a good one year later because i love the feel i'm going to live you are getting about are going to go the way you go if you eventually maybe. we don't know what you want to let me get with you are you would you go to a movie moment modern one i don't know if they're going to get on the movie it may have been muzzled illusion. if you will by a disguised name and most of the cases like a name like that might be your lovely visit does not tell you about it and what a muslim it war and war in the world and then you might be hurt and you can work in the process in the process to get a high seat in the local. gun we're going to go off into the right right right stream of god but just law that's that is love child. one might be forgiven for dismissing the anti love jihad these as being paranoid but it ought to pradesh the chief minister yogi. has endorsed their activities adding fuel to the fire. the night he got a 1000000 i'm of the media the other you accept or you can hear me but i'm going to be meeting no need for the swim but my don't want to but want to give up national would give me leave to give up meat got a little bit too long and bloody got you to love again with your money to get the fun of the late monday morning in the wood when you were just a gilly. you don't think i'm one of the only legal human it's a numbers game and you will find it funny when we fight at the side if we don't already know the momentum a shot at the. chase you don. just have to be the out there but look. up here's the jonica newby i've come out of nowhere that ambiguity out of models yet you know as a mouthful coming up now the 1000000 actually caught in the licking i mean like i would get my good. hot meal there. i was made very very uncomfortable in my own experience he seemed in many ways like a local lunatic things that he talks about love. he said that he wanted to in turn indian muslims the way it was done we could china these things have to have had a broad currency in the last 5 years under the more the government and eventually under the chief minister ship of yogi a degenerate so this is this is kind of a real apprehension in me about whether i'm recording a kind of opinion that has truthfully ditty on the ground or whether i'm giving the microphone to a complete lunatic. what isn't in dispute is the anger felt by him but why do so many like him hold such extreme views among frequently cited reasons other historical actions of some of india's muslim rulers the moguls. prominent among them are the emperor of barber who founded the mogul empire along with the 17th century ruler or exist. or is it ruthlessly put sick and other minority leaders to the sort. he was piously orthodox imposing islamic law throughout his kingdom destroying cherished hindu temples and try and and building mosques in their place including environ i see the . holy of holies the kashi bush not temple. some dispute his legacy but or in saber means hated figo for hindutva ideologues to seize on. it's easy to struggle with this complexity of man upon lehrer of history to help me navigate this i've traveled to india's capital new delhi to the sri luxury neuron munder which was built in the 1930 s. . i'm here to discuss this complex history with psychotherapist rajat mitra his recent book the infidel next door argues that unless it is resolved what from the past can be carried through to succeeding generations we've had in the early ninety's. the destruction of fathers mosque the place where romney was born and we have a movement for the rebuilding of the temple so what is your feeling about what should happen in these sites. i think these are what we would call sacred spaces i think one of the deepest grief that the present can do for society has is about the desecration and destruction on their temples there are memories attached to that. there is a big displacement of structural displacement taking place in our society so historical memories are becoming very much alive in india right now those memories have not gone and 500 years this still remain as strong as they were 500 years ago hindus to me are not aggressive people for what has happened is of their own in centuries of denial of their anger what they have gone through and i feel that in the present of their anger as i understood it will lead to a lot of the me you not afraid that that that bringing up memory especially when people are using memory and quite strategic political ways memory exists already exists in the collective in the society it does not that i'm bringing it up. the issue is to understand each other the issues the 3rd down and show that yes just as what happened with an acknowledge that like to quote for instance b.s. and i fall in this the past must be acknowledged but the past also must be seen as dead that if one stays mired in the past you can't really move forward show i.e. i can see the past as. i would see the past as very much a lie it exists in the form of memories and inside those both individual and collective hatred is nothing but anger stored inside it is important to understand that anger and that anger is acknowledged is dissolved. so i really like meeting roger i found super interesting and educated and thoughtful and i find this idea of transgenerational historical justice and memory fascinating i guess my concern is how people can be held responsible for the crimes of the past and they think even should be. mitra came across as sincere in his call for india's 200000000 muslims to somehow accept blame for the actions of previous generations even if achieving it in practice seems on walkable. but under the b j p the state is imposing its own forms of historical redress. so i'm trying to find always a road on google because i grew up among these streets but if you type in orange you get docked to a.p.j. abdul kalam. and the reason for that is that arms it was a model m. for from the 17th century known for his severity and for his cruelty and the b j p has taken it upon itself to be an oddity of who is a good muslim and. who is a bad mistake and they've decided that orange is a very bad muslim and dr a.p.j. abdul kalam who is the father of india's nuclear program is a very good listener. i grew up with the belief in this inquest is the blending of india's unique religious and cultural traditions and what makes the country so inherently rich an example of this legacy is due to language a form of hindi infused through the centuries with potion an hour of the conflict i'm in delhi's old city to visit a friend he's a poet and he has a story to tell about how the language along with the culture is some to threaten. us allow a lifelong. appreciate it. if you. suffer a more out of body is a poet and translator and he used to teach me what. we're going to go and sample a typical old delhi breakfast show that part of it's kind of built into the ground and so it's cooked overnight and then ari and so we put sprinkle a bit of lemon on but there's a green chiles engine just. very very hot in that evolution you should be. looking good. but while sitting up on you it will not get up and that. we can't make it is good and this is. why i don't believe that even. when i was here in the uk india but now i feel all of this surface up i had to put on a shirt just. i think the. 67 man. who saw those was a few months ago which sucked not so good as well as it was that. the become too. much on the job guess addict i thought for what it. would be to do that made. me feel to. 3 had nukes on government i love. him but he's. a good little thinking but one of these that. in order to get judge on him and believe in him you must have been you. know limply the by now you're the one that. knows it's like you do that he will be the nominee you to be mom like it's going to sound just it will do q 2 of you. come on a love you just keep. by the yard but there's a double header with. you on the belt with. the name. that comes with the. 2000 that no one of but that. will do that it will be good for the world it. is the by the by jack. will be good if you have to bury their dead language you have one and even though you would do beautifully got me will. you got them all but true i says it will be too but i think it will be good enough about. him to get out of it. what caused the decline was that off scottish or do became sort of the language of pakistan and india became the language here and people started to draw away from the movie too. it's not with population or even food changes being india and india from the start of the 20th century. in 1000 no 6 the all india muslim league was established its eventual an aim was to press for political independence for muslims and among hindus there was a growing sense questioning following centuries of mogul and british by the 120 s. the hindu cultural organisation the rashtriya swayamsevak sangh or the r.s.s. emerged its aim was to promote hindu culture and identity dr head gave us who started out as this he thought what is that calls off of us liberty for the last 400 years and so he thought he mediately found that lack of battery or his m l lack of character it was the main cause of the other one lead. the r.s.s. went on to become the world's biggest civil society organization it's also seen by many as a far right nationalist paramilitary group since independence it's been banned 3 times. it's widely accepted that the b j p and hindu nationalist politics or hindutva emanate from the r.s.s. the hindu tour is actually reducing the great philosophical majesty of the hindu fish into something more like the team identity of the british football hooligan it's hindus as a social identity my team is better than the other guy's team and of the other good challenges that we had among. indian national a so-called are saying the bet is a territory call india and our constitution and our nation to it is for everyone on it wrong simply into the accolades. a territory doesn't recognition a people make condition and the people of the indian nation other hindu people therefore india must be a hindu russia a nation of foreign by the hindus and everybody was not a hindu can only be here as a guest or an interloper that's essentially the choice available to not have. this conversation about what india is was at the core of the debates of the independence movement in the mid 20th century. this was the scene in karate at the meeting of the constituent assembly could an independent india be secular or divided into 2 states hindu and muslim in this latter was referred to as the 2 nation theory and in the end independence from britain led to the creation of 2 separate countries india and pakistan. later accompanied by a lady mountbatten the viceroy came to launch the dominion of pakistan. one set of people saying that religion should be the determinant of nationhood that was the idea of pakistan and they created a country for india's muslims on the basis that their religion determine the nationhood whereas the other set of people said no religion cannot determine the shouldn't we have fought for the rights of everybody and we are going to create a free country for everybody right from the very start that foundational difference defined the difference between the idea of india and the idea of pakistan and the idea of india i'm describing has been followed by every other political party in the last 70 years by the b.g.p. and its ally the ships in. the ruling party jumped a party or b j p was born in the 1980 s. and it's him or hindu nationalist politics 6 jans and buddhists as being indian religions but considers islam and christianity as invaders from outside. this brand of identity politics has seen a rise steadily to power a rise that has come at the expense of muslims and others. the b j p u has actually busily said we don't you know we don't care we will not put up a single muslim candide it. anywhere in the country and we will still come to with it with with with a significant majority and they succeed in doing that and it is the social and political construction of the
