Hong kongs leader, carrie lam, says violence is pushing hong kong down what shes calling a path of no return. She says the rule of law was being damaged and that the citys recovery from Anti Government protests could take a long time. A day after protesters brought hong kong airport to a standstill, passengers are still facing lengthy delays as the aviation authorities tackle a backlog of flights. More than 300 flights in and out of the city have been cancelled. Bill hayton has the latest. Hong kong airport is malfunctioning, though things are far from normal. Though the protesters are gone, dozens though the protesters are gone, d oze ns of though the protesters are gone, dozens of flights have been cancelled. Mainly from the country was macario, cathay pacific. And that deception is likely to continue for a while. Carrier. She offered nothing new in a tense press conference. Refusing to answer questions about whether she had the authority to withdraw the controversial extradition law which was the original spark of the protest. This question has been a nswered protest. This question has been answered on a previous occasion. Number one, as we have all heard from the spokesperson of the hong kong and macau press office, the Central Government is still contemplating that. I myself have said together with the police force, we are still capable of resolving this crisis. Meanwhile, the Central Government is increasing the psychological pressure. Official media has released video of units of Paramilitary Police travelling to shenzhen, just over the border from hong kong. It appears to be a warning that beijing is willing to use even more warning that beijing is willing to use even more force warning that beijing is willing to use even more force to quell the protests. The demonstrations are now in their 10th we show no sign of fading. Instead, the authorities response seems to be adding more fuel to the fire.

Ill be talking to a political scientist based in hong kong later in the programme. In the United States, new rules will make it harder for less well off legal immigrants to extend visas or gain permanent residency. The so called public charge rule will affect those who have claimed welfare such as medicaid, food stamps or homeless shelters. Critics fear it will lead to people foregoing crucial benefits. But the government says it wont apply to the most vulnerable immigrants such as refugees and Asylum Seekers and that it will ease the burden on the us taxpayer. The benefit to taxpayers as a Long Term Benefit of seeking to ensure our immigration system is going to bring people as legal, permanent residence first who can stand on their own two feet. Who will not be reliant on the welfare system, especially in the air of the modern welfare state which is so expensive and expensive, frankly. So thatis, expensive and expensive, frankly. So that is, that self sufficiency which has been a central part of the American Values that for so long is critical for us and for taxpayers going forward. Lets talk this through with olivia golden, executive director of a Non Profit Organisation sa nsa for the executive director of a Non Profit Organisation sansa for the law and social policy and a former director of the Us Department of health. Olivia, welcome to the briefing. What do you make of this move . We think that this is just the latest step in the administrations attacks on immigrants and theirfamilies. On people of colour and on working families. Its targets, as you said in your introduction, people who are working, people who are raising families, people who are in the United States with documentation and might, for example need help with healthcare. It really creates a world where wealth is the criterion for contributing to the United States rather than work or family or community and thats counter to the very long lasting American Values and damaging to the nation. Damaging to children, to our next generation and to our communities. Olivia, some watching around the world might be listening to the move on the part of the Us Government and your response and think well, actually, in some parts of the world this is how it works. They want those who will be healthy, wealthy, who will be able to pay taxes, who will add to economic growth, that is kind of a norm in many countries when it comes to Economic Policy marked immigration policy . The criteria set out in the administrations pose all the ones that probably about a third of all americans could meet. So it is really aimed at setting an income level that is above many call working jobs. And its also an attack on values. Its an attack on core values that in the statue of america, believes believes statue of liberty in america believes in people working up and contributing to the United States. And i think one of the things that demonstrates how strongly people feel about the damage from this regulation that was posted today is that when it was proposed as a preliminary regulation, one quarter of a Million People took the time to try to figure out how to write a comment and explain the vast majority in opposition, explained why it would damage the budgets of cities, to ta ke damage the budgets of cities, to take away healthcare and nutrition from people who are working, why it would damage children, the potential effect on 26 million americans of whom about 9 million are children. So its very damaging both to our values and our future and our community. This is a big issue for any country around the world, getting the immigration policy right. It isnt easy, to get it right . Well, i think what we have is a history now of over a long history of immigrantfamilies a history now of over a long history of immigrant families is a crucial bedrock of who we are as a country. And, a history of working families more broadly. The Immigration Department has attacked the varioUs Departments have provided tax cuts to the rich and attacked immigrants. Soi tax cuts to the rich and attacked immigrants. So i think this is part of the picture more broadly. All right. Go ahead, im sorry . Olivia, we do need to wrap up the conversation. But, ido we do need to wrap up the conversation. But, i do indeed thank you for being part of the conversation. Olivia goldman there from the centre of law and social policy. Lets brief you on other stories in the news. Scientists say two experimental drugs have been shown to be highly effective in treating the deadly disease, ebola. Trials are being coordinated by the World Health Organization in the democratic republic of congo where ebola has killed at least 1,800 people in the past year alone. Wildfires burning in russias vast siberian wilderness have created a cloud of smoke so vast, it is thought to be larger than the size of the European Union. Thats according to one Research Scientist at the finnish meteorological institute, showing smoke cover from the fires exceeds 5 million square kilometres. By comparison, the size of the eu is just under 11. 5 million square kilometres. The uk will be first in line for a trade deal with the us according to the Us National Security adviser john bolton. Hes been in london meeting borisjohnson. Before that, the Prime Minister and President Trump discussed brexit, trade and Economic Issues over the phone. With me is independent analyst stephanie hare. We are now first in line as opposed to being at the back of the queue, which is what previous president barack obama which is what previous president ba rack obama warned which is what previous president barack obama warned us of before the referendum. What you ofjohn boltons comments . It takes about seven boltons comments . It takes about seve n years boltons comments . It takes about seven years to craft a Free Trade Agreement. The European Union is saying something very similar to what the United States is contemplating offering the united kingdom, rather than a compounds of deal, we do a series of short, bit by bit deals to get some wins. Its interesting because the us had rejected the eus offer. To what extent is this about trade and politics . There was also the comments made byjohn bolton that we are foran comments made byjohn bolton that we are for an ideal. Within an idea would be a good a clean break. None of this is neutral at all. This is very political as we would expect it to be. President trump s pro brexit. It is very interesting. We would also want to explore whether 01 would also want to explore whether or not the timelines are realistic because of because it is entirely possible that President Trump may not be re elected in 2020. This current president was my conviction that you could secure some sort of Free Trade Agreement to be in the us and the uk in such a short period of time. Very interesting words, tells us time. Very interesting words, tells usa time. Very interesting words, tells us a lot about us us uk positions on the run and also huawei and 5g. These are all Smoke Signals to give us an these are all Smoke Signals to give us an idea that right now we have real alignment which we did not have when theresa may was Prime Minister. We will see where that takes us. Thank you for now. Stephanie is back later. Have some really interesting stories to talk about, including facial Recognition Technology being used at kings cross. All that and more to come. A 21 year old norwegian man has appeared in court in oslo, accused of terrorism in connection with a gun attack on a mosque at the weekend. Philip manshaus was also charged with attempted murder, as well as the murder of his stepsister. Prosecutors have been granted permission to extend his custody for another four weeks. Ramzan karmali reports. A bruised and battered philip manshaus, making his first appearance in court accused of a terrorist act in connection with a gun attack on a mosque in oslo. He has also been charged of attempted murder, as well as the murder of his chinese born stepsister. When he was arrested, police found the suspect had been filming his actions. Translation during the incident, the defendant wore a helmet with a gopro camera attached to it. The camera was filming and has given us important evidence. We cant go into details of the video, but i can say that it has provided us with important evidence. Witnesses at the al noor mosque say the attacker was carrying numerous weapons and several shots were fired. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt, mainly thanks to 65 year old retired Pakistani Air force officer mohammad rafiq. He has been praised for tackling the gunman and disarming him. Worryingly, though, the head of norways pst Police Security service admitted that they had received a tip off about manshaus some time ago. Translation pst received a tip about the accused around a year ago. Based on that tip, the pst and the police cooperated, without finding any grounds for pursuing this tip further. I can get back to this later, but the tip was rather vague and did not indicate imminent terror planning. Police also said that the suspect appeared to have far right and anti immigrant views. Online postings in manshauss name expressed admiration for the new zealand mosque attack. They have now been deleted. Manshaus did not speak while reporters were present, and has so far declined to talk to the police. His attorney said that he is exercising his right not to be interrogated, and is not admitting any guilt. But thejudge ordered him to be remanded in custody for a further four weeks, as requested by the prosecution. Ramzan karmali, bbc news. So much more to come. Still to come, remembering woodstock 50 years on well hear from the couple who came to represent the spirit of the festival. The big crowds became bigger as the time of the funeral approached.

The regions leader warns violence is pushing them down a path of no return. More on our top story. Dr natalie wong is visiting fellow and political scientist at City University of hong kong. Thank you for being on the programme. Just give us your take on what has been happening in the last 24, 48 hours and the fact that the main airport in hong kong was pretty much brought to a standstill and where this takes us next. You can see that the International Airport was closed down yesterday and as well you can see the us market fell down just because of the negative sentiment. So the people they are now worrying about the negative consequences because of the protest in the last few days. Also, another situation right now is carrie lam, the chief executive of the hong kong government, just had a press conference this morning. She, again, condemned the protesters and also to defend the right of police to use the force during the process in the last few days. So, this is the Current Situation right now. And of course, others are saying we should focus on the press conference again countered by the beijing government, the office of hong kong and macau yesterday. The first country use the work of terrorism to enable the protest. So, what happened in the last 48 hours. Also as well, we are hearing that some police admitted deploying officers disguised as Anti Government protesters during the mass unrest that we saw on sunday. Lots of different tactics on the part of the police, as you say, a very violent reaction on the part of the police as well. How do you feel this is being handled . Well, the Police Authority amid yesterday, they used a so called Undercover Police in the protest. So i think it was the first time i heard in the history of hong kong. And of course, the anger among the protesters as well as some of the citizens. But what is your analysis of how this is being handled by the authorities . Just because of the Police Authority, they changed the tactics, thatis authority, they changed the tactics, that is the intelligence tactics tried to investigate whether any so called violence and radical protesters, and i think that it is getting worse and also the consequences cannot be predicted, as we can see that hong kong will have several protests in coming days. And on both sides, no matter the government as well as the protesters will be escalated the situation and getting worse. 0k, getting worse. Ok, we appreciate your time. Thank you very much. Now, its time to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre. Hello. Im marc edwards and here is your tuesday sport briefing. Not the fairytale return, but he is back. Andy murray made a bittersweet comeback at the cincinnati masters. The former world number one was playing his first singles match in seven months since career resurrecting hip surgery, but lost in the first round to Richard Gasquet with the frenchman winning in straight sets, 6 4, 6 4. Worth noting that no player has ever had the same operation as murray and played singles again. Iam not i am not going to play the us open singles. You know, we were hoping to maybe hold a wildcard until a little bit closer to the time to see how i might feel and get some matches hopefully and a bit of practice nurse, but they were announcing the wildcard today nurse, but they were announcing the wildca rd today nurse, but they were announcing the wildcard today a bit of practice. A brazilian samba party for Saudi Arabian sides al nassr and al ittihad who are both through to the quarterfinals of the asian Champions League. The brazilian striker romarinho scored twice as al ittihad beat zob ahan of iran 4 3 on the night, and 6 4 on aggregate. While fellow brazilian giuliano scored two goals for al nassr as they won 3 2 against al wahda in the uae to complete a 4 3 aggregate victory. The cincinnati open continues later on tuesday with the two reigning champions both in action. Novak djokovic begins his quest for a 34th masters series title against sam querrey, whos currently ranked 45 in the world, and hasnt won a tour title for more than two years. While kiki bertens, who beat simona halep in last years final, begins the defence of her title against the veteran american venus williams. Dutch champions ajax are one of 20 teams playing in Champions League qualification later. Last seasons semifinalists could only manage a 2 2 draw away to Greek Super League champion paok thessaloniki last week. They should be full of confidence ahead of the second leg, though thats after beating fc emmen 5 0 at the weekend. Despite winning last seasons eredivisie title, ajax still have to go through qualifying. Heres how head coach erik ten hag responded to a question about whether thats fair. Iam not i am not putting energy in that fa ct. I am not putting energy in that fact. It is the way it is and it is not right because i have deserved to play the league, but we are first to qualify and so we focus on that and 400 and the rest is not important. And finally take a look at this ahem sporting event and i use that term in the loosest of senses. The annual chap olympiad saw contestants satirically testing their gentlemanly skills in a wonderfully bizarre british way. The competition is said by organisers to celebrate sporting ineptitude, and that was clearly on show in southern england with events including umbrella jousting, of course, cucumber sandwich discus why not and a personal favourite, picnic vaulting. Lovely stuff. You can get all the latest sports news at our website. Thats bbc. Com sport. But from me and the rest of the sport team, goodbye. This week marks the 50th anniversary of the woodstock festival. One couple who made the trip were immortalised on the front cover of the official album. And now, 50 years on, they have returned. Tim allman reports. August 1969, early in the morning, and a young couple embrace. This image was to become one of the defining symbols of probably the most famous Music Festival in history. 50 years later, bobbi and nick ercoline, now married, both 70 years old, relive that moment, even if the memories are a little hazy from the first time around. Just getting up in the morning, standing up, giving my girlfriend a hug. Then somebody took our picture. Thats what i. I dont even remember the picture being ta ken, honestly. Woodstock was one of the most significant cultural moments of the 1960s, a decade supposedly devoted to peace and love drawing to a close with a giant party in a muddy field. The practicalities were far from perfect, but the intention was noble. Under not the best of circumstances. Water was intermittent and sketchy. Food was sold out as of friday night. No bathroom facilities. The weather was absolutely awful, and 450,000 people gathered here and not one incident of violence. Thats pretty amazing. This world needs more woodstock. Bobbi and nick have a copy of the photo on their wall, a reminder of when they were young, and how their love came to represent the spirit of woodstock. How lovely. We have Business Briefing coming next. I will see you very soon. We will look at all the top stories including the us town of huawei took effect 25 minutes ago. I will see you soon us ban. The weather is going to stay quite changeable over the coming days. As changeable over the coming days. Far as the here some across the west country as well, but generally speaking, tuesday is going to be a sunny day with a scattering of cloud. Temperatures up to 21 in london but closer to 17 for belfast, newcastle, glasgow and edinburgh. On the whole, not a bad day. Later on in the day, it looks as though the clouds are going to increase across the south west, so some rain will eventually reach plymouth, but probably not until well after dark. Now, the forecast tuesday into wednesday brings these weather fronts into south western part of the country, also some rain reaching scotland too. So i think many of us on wednesday will have a pretty overcast starts of the day at least across to the west and through the day the clouds will increase. You can see clouds moving from wales into england, western scotland too, one or two areas may not see the rain until a lot later in the day. A cool day, nowhere making 20 degrees probably. Thursday shows on the weather maps here, you can see a dry day for most of the major cities there, but come friday, the rains back again. So we keep chopping and changing. Skipping to friday now. You can see this big low pressure behind me, swinging in, bringing rain to many parts of the uk, increasing winds as well. This is quite big low pressure will be barrelling through the uk not just on friday, but into the weekend as well. At this stage, it isnt looking too great. You can see how huge this low pressure is and around it we have more low pressure systems to bring further rainfall. This is saturday, for example. Goodbye. This is the Business Briefing. Im sally bundock. The us huawei tech ban starts now with Government Agencies restricted from doing business with it and four other chinese tech companies. Market meltdown, the argentine peso tumbles and its stock market crashes after the countrys ruling conservative president loses big in primary elections. And jitters are being felt across emerging markets today with political unrest in argentina and hong kong
