A deal is possible hes in dublin to bridge the impossible how to handle the irish border before britain that leaves the e. U. And pope francis wraps up his african trip to the visit to the indian ocean on and of marie ship hes honoring the memory of a missionary but tolerance and interfaith understanding. In tennis and i think the u. S. Open final to the fall not god beats down the the dead in 5 sets its the span is the 19th grand slam title is just one more to keep close to the mens 4 time record. Caught in a warm welcome to you. Reporters an indian it means to me just struggling to do their jobs without internet phone lines or mobile phone service more than a month off to india suspended the regions autonomy reporting from kashmir still faces severe restrictions and unprecedented communications shut down. Travel to should i go in indian administered kashmir she found the lack of access to reliable news is taking a toll on the kashmiris. A news room without internet phone lines almost by connections this is in 2019. Spock bantry a reporter for national newspaper. The computers at work simply to write stories on. To get his work to the papers headquarters in another city he has to save it on a pen drive and take it to a Media Facilitation Center on by the government. The center has one Internet Connection and 5 computers for hundreds of local national and international journalists. Its also where he can catch up with other reporters on what they are hearing but these arent the only good news he and his colleagues in kashmir face. When its really difficult to get off your version of story and write a really careful and concerted have been going so many journalists have been someone about the officials who had to do good from this information sort of against a threat and course and also. But also occasionally briefing like today when reporters i invited to hear from army and Police Official thats the focus of the briefing however is not on the situation and. It is on pakistan and its alleged efforts at infiltration. Officials insist that the past month has been the most peaceful and push me and shutting down communications has been a legitimate means to achieve that we have. This. Is. One of the many with the. Best of the block. But it isnt just trouble makers for the government as what it about gogs on the media are evident when Security Forces stone cameras a we reporters cannot argue. A tough job ahead of the plays let me in the absence of communication lets put some reliable new was hearsay and conjecture on rampant if any to ask or to one dog by Security Forces for example that people assume that while it has broken out that theres no way to verify it. These unofficial channels are amplified because dress the bins do not trust little clue people was on National Television news. They believe those journalists are going to be official line from the hindu nationalist government and refusing to portray the hardships on the ground. Would be really dont get any news media reports fake news they say schools are open shops are open traffic is moving but look around you you are in the heart of srinagar shops are closed schools are closed people are distressed on the news many of the news ive watched is totally fake we cant trust the media anymore we cant trust what they are saying. And they spock is grateful that his editors do not dictate what he can and cannot write but he why he is that all journalists do not have that freedom. They dont even care if there is not a single comment on the street and what has happened to the people not a single comment this question because a precious little passes for the precious. Right to speak freely want simply be distorted when the phone stopped ringing again. And that support. Is now back in dead enjoy the mischief they tell us about your experience of the ground and whether these fessor strict restrictions only apply to certain parts of the region. Well if youre looking at the freedom of movement then yes i can confirm that different strokes are in certain parts of the city for example the city of so you know that we were in but on the other hand its also important to note that in the areas where people are allowed to move around by the press is allowed to move around Security Plus time can arbitrarily done as a way of the delta explanation and this is something which rephrased as well another thing thats important to note when it comes to access for the media is not simply about physical access the fact that theres a complete communications shut down also severely handicaps the Media Journalists all of that told us that we should be diverted to find out where the top test is happening while this is happening but any action is happening by getting a foreign call or by looking it up with you on the internet with all the communication that was down it isnt possible for john list to function for you so whats the government been saying about reports of this media clamp down the number of come to the media clamp down and then when it comes to the communications blockade the government is responding not just about the media but overall the government is saying that the communications go off it is to ensure that peace is maintained that that that the value means peaceful and they claim that communications is what allows room only green and that is what leads to violence but even when it comes to other reports about how the situation in fish meat has been problematic for the people on the ground officials have strongly denied it foster boards by International Media have been severely criticized and briefing that the ventoux the bust in representing the army and the Police Actually said that International Media has no credibility and that local should actually focus on National Media which is not the watching what exactly is happening on the ground according to critics this is tell us more about the position of the National Media in india how is it responding to these curbs on press freedom. One of the there has been some pushback at least from question using me to have their voice offish me to a journalist and editor of whats gone all the way to the Supreme Court to demand that at least the media should be allowed to speak freely but on the other hand Many National time those critics are saying as well as local papers ought to when the government line because they have to continue operating in the region for you. In delhi thank you very much for that. British Prime MinisterBarak Johnson is in ireland for talks with his irish count upon. The 2 leaders are looking for a compromise of a what will happen at the border if in been a britain exits the European Union barkers said that they can be ignored greg said without a solution that keeps goods flowing between him and a member of the e. U. And Northern Ireland which is a part of the United Kingdom their fear is that the hard border would return to separate the 2 nations. For more on this im joined now by journalist gavin dryly in dublin and gavin dis is a very important meeting between the 2 beat is what are the expectations of what can be achieved. It has to be said that the expectations are quite lowly of rockers speaking to reporters yesterday said it wasnt going to be a major breakthrough in this meeting in fact in many ways it was just a getting to know new meeting because the 2 leaders have got a chance to meet each other face to face as far as johnson became Prime Minister. Is that although the of are at the college negotiate on behalf of the e. U. He can be a useful listening board next boris busy johnson does have some ideas of his sleeve but how you could have 2 different Trading Systems on this island and not a hard border between them that if iran is on board whatever poses he may have then there could be the prospect for progress could read today has to be seen as a case of leave iraq or stating his concerns as to why there cannot be a hard border and maybe listening to what proposals Boris Johnson may bring forward as to how that can be avoided but really there is very little that leo rocker can offer at this meeting this morning now a buzz johnson made some comments after he arrived in dublin lets 1st take a listen to what he had to say before we continue and as someone who went to the board of civil times before the good friday agreement and shouted to see watchtowers on u. K. Soil i can say no as i said many times with all the u. K. Will never ever institute checks at the border and i hope our friends in the e. U. I would say the same i want to find a deal i want to get a deal i would you know i would overwhelmingly prefer to find an agreement ok so gavin and Boris Johnson insisting he still wants a deal but its still not care that he gets wants and insists you cant replace a legal guarantee with a promise and hes of course referring to the backstop is there any hope that they may be some kind of compromise which may emerge during this meeting today. For a compromise that would require either of those 2 leaders stepping back from things that they have said before and it was very interesting that when Boris Johnson became british Prime Minister he said that even though im limited. To northern art and only. As far as he was concerned that was still not acceptable that. Could not be tolerated but as you heard. There just a moment ago he says that he consul pay Something Like that which he is. To be invokes if the time is ever needed. A promise like that which bars johnson beatty says. But there will be no legal reason for him. For there to be any compromise between the 2 leaders one of them is going to have to stand down but he said time and time again that its not going to be changing politics in westminster.

In the middle of the 19th century. To have converted tens of thousands of people on the riches but he did more than preach he treated freed slaves as equals and gave a voice to the poor many here still call them the apostle of more riches. Literally. Everyone who enters. A symbol of the countrys unity provided you a few. People flocked to him you can see this is a disgrace that. People from all religions and cultures honor him as a spiritual father. And as a father figure. The population of more resources into the rest is made up of christians muslims and buddhists. A mosque right next to. Hindu temple in morrison that is totally normal it is a very religious country but in the same time very tolerant. The popes visit is a special honor for all faiths here.

Francis is just finished holding mass what was his main message. Well of course he talked a lot about but his key message i found was a message to the use that they have to be considered more in the society as well as in the church and this was something he was repeating most of the time you have to know that morris is a seen as a role model country in africa it is an upper middle income economy that has tremendous progress since independence compared to other african countries especially but not everything is good the Unemployment Rate is still quite high especially when it comes to young people so the pope called for ethical growth because very often you have the case here that some people who are rich getting richer and the poor are getting poorer and many people here dont really see perspectives anymore many are frustrated about the situation and to the pope try to address them now didnt want to do this visit the pope wraps up his africa what do you say its been a success. Overall i would say definitely yes he made hundreds of 1000 of people very happy spread a lot of joy in the pope of course knows how important africa is catholic membership followers are not growing any more in europe in fact they are declining but in africa they are still growing of course because of the massive population growth we still see in many countries and its still happening despite competition from pentecostal churches for example but there was also some criticism office visit here as well as a big because in both countries the elections are coming close and some opposition representatives where saying that the visit of the pope comes at a wrong time because the ruling parties will of course try to use it for their advantage andriy increase in the races thank you very much for reporting on the pontiff that.
