This is. Why. I tried to do it except. This is. Coming up on the. I mean. Its crap. Situations thats how they. Describe. What. Im going to welcome. Its good to have you with us india has ended a constitutional provision that governed its tradition ship with the disputes of. The abolition of offical tree 17 means the state. Will no longer enjoy near autonomous control over its affairs this Special Status has so far formed the cornerstone of indias policy in lets go. Now the entire shaded region that you see over here is a region of kashmir that india and pakistan both claim it was a Princely State at the time of indias independence in 1907 but decided to join india in the wall for the. And control was eventually divided between the 2
countries in these 2 showed it in different colors of orange that you see here optical 370 government india as mission ship in the pot on the Indian Administration it give it control over all affairs except Foreign Affairs defense and communication this has now been ended indias home minister ahmed shah had this to say in bottom and stop at the sunset these 2 parties but on the recommendation of parliament of the month the president announces that starting from the day that the president of india signs this declaration and it is published and the government does it all the provisions under article 370. 00 will cease to be a political. Number. And the president has signed this that their mission manoj joshi is a leading Security Analyst from the Observer Research foundation in denver manoj good to have you with us how do you see things developing on the ground in kashmir
after this announcement well i think certainly very there would be a sense that we would have been going to shock the article 378. 00 so its not really much. To go. Criticize the region you know the divine but equally important symbol of the. Symbol that they were unique. So this has been and i think that is something which is going to be a bit of a psychological shock to them and you and despondent of the psychological shock as reported a former Chief Minister of them one has made. Called it a quote the darkest day in indian democracy and she father went on the wall on that there could be catastrophic consequences for the subcontinent does she have a point. Well you know that may be stretching it
a bit faulty google as far as christine is concerned it has already seen a huge amount of wireless and. Service they will be a google distant day never be purchased from the docks why be according to the program for their St Paul Police forces army forces i think in the short done they will keep a lid on it but what does i think. The problem is the question will flow do it initially in the sense all stated on the street is want to do so. Since the 1990 there has been an insurgency there oh that insurgency have been more it is defeated and you still have a lot of the population or Silent Majority because this interview went along with the idea that we were part of the india and the separatists were actually in the minority right now im a pretty good theres going to be something good to be rid of and at this hour since that they have lost something not in fact the loss that already taken place
but the point is the psychological shock being told that if youre like anyone else right here your state is nothing unique about you. That is going to have the impact what does that someone who has about the. Governments try to do 200. 00 have a strategy if so what isnt well you know the thing is there to be hippies only still ideology has been that you should not have a Special Status so to do something with a big important part of a funding would be to be just wont be slow this one or the movement to defeat. This Special Status so in one sense its the fulfillment of that and you can be sure that it will how widespread support across the country. In the gun created of this moment between 50 and people are going to say well you dont 70 years weve tried to be nice it hasnt been so this is the busy this has to be
a drastic solution so be it and so people would have to be a little government or do you seen the reaction of political bodies many of the Political Parties in the south actually supporting the suspect that seems to be there. Right across the country is where one or george are from the Observateur Such Fun Version draws from denny thank you very much for that analysis. Fanning out to hong kong where a general strike has paralyzed the citys airport and varied services on monday protestors prevented metro trains from moving and was successful in disrupting their services as well more than 100 flights were canceled at the airport the strike on monday for the weekend of clashes between protesters and Police Demonstrators want hong kong Chief Executive to resign and broader democratic reforms in the special Administrative Region of china. Based on dress has been
going on for more than 9 weeks now and protesters have had to adapt to stay one step ahead of the ever tightening security. Bill as this report from hong kong. You know you can hear through the frustration like this is clear in any language. As the weeks go on even cameras becoming unwelcome head. Limits later take us by it but is no longer a match for these increasingly sophisticated protesters. As the toxic fumes fill the air the cool goes out to meet. Under the cover of Smoke Process is dispersed as quickly as they are right. This is what theyre calling that the Water Strategy stay nimble dont get cold. Group chats on social media help them plan where to target next. By thousands file into Public Transport and on to the next location
for now the short sharp best of disruption. Pages is easy trains to get across the city as quickly as possible barry is left open for them to polish freely in and out of the Train Stations this is part of a deliberate strategy to get from location to location is quickly as possible to not stay in one place for too long move on and start the next demonstration this Flash Mob Style Tactic is now the most powerful defense. Against an increasingly intolerant police force i have to Police Custody time together when they go there was and then we can go to another place so maybe there is less police and we can do our things secondly we will try to save also from being arrested thats the main thing i think how do you 16 and how many different Protest Locations have you been see today to now it will be 5 for. A major
tunnel is blocked for a 2nd night running. Cars brought to a standstill but once again it doesnt last long in the to get the. Police move in but the demonstrations are one step ahead theyve already moved on. All that police can do is clear the damage. This is become the cats and mouse game with protest is throughout the coming harder and harder to contain. And for more im joined by john lewis lauro troll in hong kong the real youve been covering these protests since it began about 9 weeks ago does it look like the protesters have a plan is there for instance a willingness to talk to the government and try and reach and end all of the Protest Movement that is going to stay on the streets. I think there is absolutely a willingness to touch the government but the problem is right now that the government is not reaching out theyre not making any compromises the Chief Executive is barely visible or she disappears for days or weeks at
a time so i think there are protesters now what they want and theyre willing to talk but its the government thats not budging thats why people are saying its really hard to see how this fall and what the reaction been among supporters as to the recent Press Conference by county. Well i think she said more of the usual which is not much and i think no one was surprised by that no one was really expecting her to say anything new or interesting so she didnt really do anything to deescalate the situation or to reassure them she continued to condemn the protests there is so its it didnt help im not sure how much of her either but it again more of the same really that shes been saying this whole time and that beijing has been saying thats fine what does that say about. The Hong Kong Government has what the government to do to try and make to situation better. Well the protesters have very specific demands they want to completely draw all of the bill they want an investigation into chiles violence and things like that they are and can take steps towards that but it hasnt been happening its unclear why did withdraw the bill hasnt happened especially when Chief Executive very alive and said that the bill is dead delayed it and that they dont have plans to go through with it but because the people here dont trust her or the government theyre demanding and complete withdrawal and so far very lamb has even refused to say the word with drawl so theres also the question of whos really and power here is that ariel im or that baby. There is rumors that she wanted to step down but that beijing didnt want her to so the legitimacy of the government and her leadership is also in question what about the police in all of this are all of them are those have been heavily criticized by the Protesters Police tactics father
cozen protests to spread. I would think so the police have been a big focus for the protesters they have focused on Police Violence to focus on the fact that a lot of Police Officers arent wearing their Badge Numbers there have been a lot of arrests they are getting on the streets and theres even video of journalists getting protests so the balance is absolutely incited a lot of the anger theres been theres been a couple protests that have only focused on the Police Violence and didnt even mention the Extradition Bill so the Police Behavior and reaction definitely made it worse and what were seeing now is that actually local residents who arent even protesters per say theyre theyre coming down to break police theyre coming down there theyre getting into their. Heckling the riot police and the products they
had to respond to that with tear gas which of course makes it even more angry and these are local residents there on the flop theyre not Wearing Masks and helmets like. The rats are all the speeches of some concept of very much for that now there tear gas another on its your gas just fired so and this is happening all over morning was about.
