And a woman continue im good to have your company. Now its being called the most significant change in the status of the disputed kashmir region in more than 70 years delhi says its revoking the special autonomy status of indian administered kashmir the kashmir region has been contested by india and pakistan for decades the 2 Nuclear Powers have fought 2 wars over it now both india and pakistan claim the region in full but a small section of it is also claimed by china the indian admin states in a state of just one question it is the only state in india which is a muslim majority province now they can do nationalist lead in Indian Governments decision to scrap article 370. 00 which allow Jammu And Kashmir a higher degree of autonomy is said to inflame for the tensions hundreds of chris midis x. Activists gathered at the Indian Embassy in the pakistan captain is drawn by 2 boys the outreach to which is also a reduction in the Southern City of karachi in pakistan Pakistans Foreign Ministry has said indias move was illegal and best to take all available measures to oppose it doesnt push me wrong that the repeal of the status could set the region in a regional conflict. Joining me now to discuss this issue is there but at the girl as she is the head of the. Desk welcome do it at the 1st of 4 does this decision by the Indian Government come as a surprise well of course its a huge surprise but you know something was already cooking because. That is National Security advisor dorval was last week in kashmir so i felt that something is happening but of course this never nobody knew actually and what surprises me even more is that you know in doha there is of god taliban us talks are going on and at the same time this is happening so i thought you know maybe they wanted to take the tension away so its a surprise and. You know i do want to extend is this a decision linked to do the beach of peace hindu nationalists agenda of totally like. Them or they came to power. In their own like maybe it was their agenda that they want to you know totally change crush made by making it i mean this is the only as you said only a muslim majority state in india and they are modes of for example jammu john move is a hindu majority state like doc a province where there is this majority so this was their agenda that hindu hindi hindustani its is a package which is now coming and in this hour and everything. Has seen a lot of unrest in decades if theres been a Secessionist Movement its been a separatist movement and to some extent but alienated by the Indian Government what impact do you think this revocation of article 370 will have on the people of kashmir now i mean at the moment this is totally black how this car few theres no internet no telephone calls can be done and made and we have been trying to actually reach our correspondent in Jammu Kashmir but we could not and of course in this last 7 decades this was a special autonomous state which is now gone that means all noncash media is from the other states of india can go in there and buy lands and have business and get into educational institutions so thats really really tough on the question meetings and i think that will have an impact and what implications do you think this will have on relations with pakistan as weve had this been strong condemnation coming from pakistan about the indian move which they describe as illegal yeah i mean it is not only legal the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan have said that this was irrational and this cannot be taken and they will do everything to counter that so obviously we can imagine that they will be troops in both sides and it is already a card. Situation so it will have an impact of course right and how do you see this developing now and in the coming days do you think that i mean they are descriptions of this is an illegal act do you think why do you think then that the government of india went boss an executive president ial order rather than go through the parliament when they passed this president ial decree you know and i think it is maybe the Indian Government or the busy prawn government have been doing a study for the last few weeks or few months or a few years maybe because none of the other governments have dared to do that to change that and i think it is not maybe unconstitutional but it is definitely on democratic so people that are not involved most of the former chief ministers are put into housing rest and they did this without talking to the people so this will of course affect each other board the countries and i am literally scared what will happen now but we have to keep an eye right there but if you do have thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us thank you america ok turning now to hong kong where 2 democracy protesters have clashed with riot police for the 3rd day in a row Security Forces have fired tear gas activists prompting a campaign of civil disobedience earlier demonstrators destructive Train Services by blocking dollars a general strike has also taken place bringing parts of the city to a standstill more than 200. 00 flights have been canceled and many shops and businesses are closed. To carry law has accused of protesters of jeopardizing the future of the territory. But what is in front of us is hong kong stability hong kongs future. And escalate violence but we continue to allow these violent protesters to make use of the future to offend those bill and these demands to conceal that out here ia motors that is going to push hong kong through the verge of a very dangerous situation so that was a carry law in the clashes between the police and protesters are ongoing a lot of tear gas is being fired by police specially in front of government buildings our correspondent seana chosen bill was in the tranches moments before the Police Used Tear Gas on protest says shes been talking some of the protest says and sent us this report. We are in the midst of an unprecedented moment in the prodemocracy Movement Never before has hong kong seen a general strike quite like this now things are starting to heat up here in the central political and economic districts of hong kong people hearing her name is just down this way from that started firing tear gas every now and then there will be a panic of people trying to rush away from that tear gas people here know all too well the police ready and willing to use it liberally now there are thousands of people taking the time off work to take part in this one of 7 protests across hong kong one of them is dont know he is the one supplier donald can you tell me why you are taking part in this protest today ok we see a lot of teenagers so far so from suffering and under the coffin and to push through a wall and and no democracy and now in hong kong and we want to move forward and force the government to react for whole at you for days on the hong kong and warn them to actions to make change sure about the situation here so this why we take it there you all and then go to the street to progress i think those to hong kong are. Really care about the economies here but. Government you know. React something or do something to fix the loopholes and jurors come for citizens hold on citizens here i think that if you go in and move even more i mean more and more people go on history and you receive like every day here light is you know so thats what i want to talk about thank you very much and or just to give you a sense of the scale of this protest this really is a very central area here in hong kong this is a monday this street should be full of workers instead its full of protesters paralyzed by people bringing this street to a total standstill from the mood here at the moment still quite early on in the day we do expect this to be a very very long night. Shon a chance to build reporting from hong kong attentions in hong kong are not the only thing occupying the leaders of china one has fallen to an 11 year low as beijing appears to be using its currency to soften the impact of the u. S. China trade dispute now the move comes days after u. S. President dollar trump threatened to extend punitive turned of to all chinese imports next month. In hong kong nurser jangle by the democracy protests which brought traffic to a standstill in the Asian Financial hub this combined with the latest salvo by donald trump and the u. S. China trade war to turn asias benchmark stock indices into a picture of misery wherever investors in asia looked there was bad news. Hong kongs hang seng index closed nearly 3 percent lower a 7 month trough in tokyo the nikkei 2 to 5 and 1. 7 percent lower on the mainlands big board the shanghai composite closed down 1. 25 percent. The chinese yuan currency unexpectedly broke through the closely watched 7 per dollar mark for the 1st time since the Global Financial crisis this was a major psychological blow as its a level some Market Players have regarded as major support the un slide sparked a warning from Chinas Central Bank in beijing to improve Financial Stability on the markets. Due to the complicated International Situation and uncertainties we must pay great attention to handle the relationship between further reform and opening up and Risk Prevention of. Crime on. Markets are left hoping that the next stage in the bitter trade conflict between the worlds 2 biggest economies is not a hugely damaging currency war. Joining me now is cliff couldnt he is news expert on china from a business welcome kiffen know what implications of these developments have for us to fall in on the trade dispute between china and the u. S. Well everything seems to be connected everything seems to be happening at once and one of these incidents. Individually would have a huge impact the protests in hong kong the trade war and now the devaluation of the of the u. N. Currency and all brought together its a bit of a perfect storm in terms of how the region regional stability is affected right and the chinese currency has fallen to 11 year lows against the us down on the one but this good as we heard the report possibly also benefit china yes absolutely it will make chinese exports to the u. S. Cheaper so we saw on friday that donald trump imposed a 10 percent tariff on a further 300000000000. 00 worth of goods which this will now make the additional goods cheaper to send back to the u. S. So in some ways it will offset the effect of the of the new tariffs thats going to we dont know how tall trump is reactor jet but its not something hes going to be pleased with so its definitely something that could help and its shows that its a new weapon in this in this trade war that we saw in the program protests in hong kong ongoing theres no signs that theyre going to stop anytime soon looking at the Bigger Picture how is this unrest impacting the economy in hong kong where we saw today the high im saying index of of hong kong shares closed 3 percent down which is a big drop its having a lot of these. Its the Property Market is suffering we had all these pictures as well today of the m. T. R. Of the subway stations being blocked people not able to get to work its having a very negative effect on the economy in terms of day to day business but also i think in terms of the psychology of the people they feel that they are you know theres obviously a lot of support in hong kong for these demonstrations they feel that their voices are not being heard so what you see is a lot of. Competing elements happening at once and overall i think the picture for for the chinese for the hong kong economy is not a positive one but as you said everything is connected to if it couldnt for businesses thank you for sharing your expertise with us.

At the white house the flag flies a hamas to President Trump says its time for action we have to get it stopped is really going on for years and years and years in our culture we have to get it stopped but this is also a Mental Illness problem if you look at both of these cases this is Mental Illness these are people really people that are very very seriously mentally ill. But for opponents of the president s he is the real problem they say hes and immigrants are the toric is stoking division and creating hate. I hate the grief spilled over into anger anger of you not enough of government not only on gun control but also on the growing divide in american society. Let me bring infantile mina interest from the American University in washington d. C. Shes an Award Winning also and a scholar of foreign extremism welcome to you now what is your assessment on why he is seeing an upsurge of violence linked to right wing extremism in the u. S. Right now. Well i think part of what people understand about right wing extremism is that its motivated by a whole range of exclusionary ideologies beliefs hatred racism of others but they often dont understand that its also tied to at the extreme fringe the idea. And imminent threat a demographic threat thats posed through immigration through the whats called the great replacement in their ideology of whites or of europeans needed more new europeans with others and that kind of part of the ideology has then ramping up on social media and also because it comes across from mainstream politicians and that has absolutely been fueling the violence as we have no report peoples grief is turning into anger and theres shouting do something do something what can be done to look at such crimes and change the narrative that youve been talking about. I mean of course its important to say we need absolutely need gun reform legislation in the us i mean this is a massive problem that is separate from the issue of far right extremism but on the ideology itself i mean gun reform isnt going to help that escalation toward violence right away and so in the immediate short term you know there are a couple of things one we need serious education across the border both in schools but but in the public narrative as well that helps restrain this idea of immigration as a threat into you know an idea that immigration is is is not a threat is something that is. Is is is less threatening to others and i think you know when we have politicians who are using words like invasion and incursion that that doesnt help so we need to elect politicians who can move away from that framing of immigration as a problem and see it as a strength instead and weve had 2 sets of killings in the recent days one of them is being described as an act of domestic terrorism the other one is being viewed as a kid to crime how do authorities distinguish between the 2. That distinction has to do with the motivation for the crime the motive and the dayton shootings still are unclear in terms of the motive i think that whats really important to understand is that sadly the motive may not actually matter and terms of whether that still feeds the same narrative that right wing extremists globally are using which is that we you know they believe they need to so as much societal discord and that violent action is one of the ways to do that to bring about change and a kind of apocalyptic and time so these kinds of terrorist attacks even islamist terrorist attacks feed that same narrative and so when you have Mass Shootings that that that feeds the ideology that that there is an imminent threat and imminent end times coming and that will feed other it will inspire other violent acts as well even if those acts arent tied directly to the ideology right cynthia just thank you very much feel insight thank you for having me turning now to yemen which is often called the worlds forgotten war over 90000 people have died since the conflicts between the saudi backed government and pull iran in who began back in 2015 millions of fed fighting and famine but still east african migrants from it here pitt and somalia are also heading towards the water own country the goal is to reach yemens neighbor prosperous saudi arabia but instead they end up trapped correspond funny for a visit to the yemen and met some of them. Yemen is at war with itself something they know very little about. Said. Hes the youngest migrant i meet today he arrived by boat with his brother from one of about 100 this man is haunted by images of the dangerous crossing. Out of the many when we got into the there was no water and no food. It was too windy. Some people had to stand others were sitting. The boat was very crowded. But. The ones who do make landfall then have to walk for days did desert. These young men paid a couple of 100. 00 to reach their goal saudi arabia to find work the big board the all certainty and instability in yemen its completely unclear really are these migrants will end. An estimated 100000 migrants reached yemen from africa every year this migration route is less known compared to the want to europe through sudan and libya and its cheaper but dangerous yemen is littered with landmines and aid organizations stops by there are only prepared to talk off the record i hear most migrants will never reach saudi arabia. Or 85 percent just. One of the places in war torn yemen where migrants are drawn into the conflict. In aden i meet one of the yemeni smugglers wants to remain anonymous the war in yemen of forced him into smuggling he says there are no jobs we cant find anything else to do but working at sea. Fishing for people. Makes smuggling a lucrative business he earns the equivalent of 400. 00 euros dollar of each migrant he tells me. The smuggling business is widespread because theres no security no stability no good living the business is flourishing now yemenis are struggling with chronic unemployment and poverty in their midst the stranded migrants. Arrived 2 months ago from theo pierre he says he was beaten by smugglers and has no money left to continue his journey his message to other migrants just want to tell them not to come in not to try to make to make it to any country. As much as possible. They have to stay in their home in the homeland. But the smugglers promise that the migrants will reach saudi arabia who continue to pull them even to a country that has as many problems as yemen.
