rivals well some a big divide begins our coverage from the in pakistani administered kashmir. our fight will continue that's the message from these protestors and was after about in pakistan administered kashmir if you 100 gathered to voice their anger against the indian government's decision to abolish its special status of kashmir the himalayan region disputed the pakistan. made your notice in. my appeal to the united nations to resolve this issue immediately otherwise we will go there to win freedom for our brothers. my opinion is to all muslims that if you have come out of your homes and stand the tass members of pakistan's parliament in islamabad voiced their anger at india's decision to revoke autonomy and privileges for the contested muslim majority region prime minister announced on predicted that india will crack down even harder on the kashmiri people he fears

ethnic cleansing and called the ruling b.g.p. steps in line with the racist ideology you talked a little only kiryat we planted our kidney junk election the manifesto this is not a decision the b j p have taken out of the blue it was part of their election manifesto all along it is in fact ingrained in their ideology to put hindus above all other religions and seeks to establish a state that represses all other religious groups. it was a heated parliamentary session where the leader of the opposition says that pakistan has 2 choices now either to hide or take decisive action but people on both sides of the line of control of heard fiery speeches before the feeling here is their bread and inside he not knowing what is happening beyond these mountains in the indian administered side of the schmear remains cut off from the outside world pakistan's military leaders say they will go to any extent to fulfill their obligation to the kashmiri people bikes money army spokesman tweeted pakistan never recognize the indian efforts to legalize its occupation of german cashmere through

article 370 or 35 a decades ago. india have fought multiple wars over the territorial dispute there are fears that this latest from india could provoke another some of the god out of their. pockets on administered kashmir. meanwhile in india the parliament has agreed to divide the indian administered kashmir into 2 parts with direct rule from central government it's still unclear how kashmiris are reacting to the developments the muslim majority region is under a media and communications blackout but many kashmiri hindus who were forced out during unrest nearly 3 decades ago hope the changes will let them return to their ancestral homes says jimmy has more now from new delhi. for the 1st time in decades here allow the arena feeling optimistic because schmear hindu fled with his family from indeed administered kashmir in 1990 because of religious violence he's

pleased with the indian government's decision to revoke the region's autonomy under article 370 but has its concerns if we are we are supposed to go back to live why should we live what is on the whole. what shall we. and all who will be served it who will look after us. and who is going to be a god part of. india's home minister let tuesday's charge for change in the lower house of parliament where the bill passed easily thanks to the government's majority and support from the opposition members but many members of parliament say support for india in the kashmir valley has dried up following the government's revoking of the region's autonomy and splitting it into 2 federal territories even those who politically supported the indian government in the region are now lashing out this is not india that i believe. there is

a democratic india secular india. whatever your religion the killer your region. the students studying in your new delhi are worried they've been scrambling to find a way to contact their families and friends in indeed administered kashmir without much success my main guns on that my parents even ok like they haven't i don't know they've been alive for me. not knowing what they're going to do. so i know one of the problems but this is the highest this is the worst kind of situation that is happening now. as many worry about their families in kashmir being cut off others are dreaming of a new beginning their fares jamil al jazeera you delhi well earlier i spoke to pakistan's ambassador to the u.n. . she says the international community must uphold un security council resolutions

on the minister kashmir. it's pretty obvious that this illegal and exception of the state of general in question real by the indian government not only flouts international law but it is an egregious violation of successive security council resolutions adopted right here at the united nations so we reject this move we believe that this illegal act will not and cannot change the facts on the ground the fact that right now as i speak there is internet suspension in the state of jammu and kashmir in the occupied state of jammu and kashmir people have been locked up additional forces have been moved in this is an armed camp and this is an occupation that will only feel this desperate effort by the indian government is bound to fail because it will never be accepted by the people of jammu and kashmir what is pakistan itself prepared to do or how best to stand itself think

a handle the situation well for pakistan we are keeping open all our political and diplomatic options on my prime minister him around her and when he spoke to parliament made it very clear that he made every effort to engage the indian government to find a peaceful settlement of the outstanding dispute of jammu and kashmir but the indian government did not respond and instead it took this illegal act so we are assessing the situation we will stand by the people of jammu and kashmir we are committed to continuing our diplomatic and political support for them the question is are not alone and we and i here at the un i'm going to be the voice of the kashmiris i mean you mentioned the diplomatic avenues that have been explored but we've also heard from pakistan's prime minister saying that the crisis could actually explode into an all out war which of course is a terrifying prospect considering the both in pakistan are nuclear powers what that

the prime minister mean by that. i think what the prime minister was referring to is the fact that there is an escalation that has taken place in recent days leading up to this act this illegal act by the indian government and that the escalatory spiral can get out of control so i think what the prime minister is saying very clearly is that we do not want an escalation the escalation is coming from the indian side and it is up to the international community to ask india to halt these aggressive moves and to stop these measures that are leading to such a grave situation in our region this is a frog situation and it is not in pakistan's interest to continue to see this kind of escalation but of course we will remain vigilant we will protect our borders and we will stand by the people of jammu and kashmir but so i guess what you're saying

is that pakistan is considering or keeping the option open for a unilateral unilateral military action against india over this no i never said that and i never implied that in fact i started by saying that all political and diplomatic options are on the table all i'm saying is that the international community should ask india urgent via compared to stop its collation both inside the state of occupied jungle in kashmir and on the line of control with pakistan it is india that is used cluster ammunition not my country it is india that is escalated the situation not pakistan we do not wish to see any conflict in our region. the u.s. says tough new sanctions will choke off financing for venezuela's president the united states is frozen venezuela government assets blocking all american companies and individuals from doing business with president nicolas maduro is that

ministration and its supporters the measure is the 1st of its kind against the government in the western hemisphere in more than 30 years u.s. national security adviser john bolton has warned the sanctions will be imposed on anyone who supports. president trump has taken a very strong move here imposing these sweeping sanctions putting a full block a full freeze on all assets of all parts of the government of venezuela in the u.s. and also imposing sanctions are setting up the. situation to impose sanctions on any person or business that goes significant business with the government of venezuela so this goes well beyond anything we've done before and it really is a very strong move by the prez. i was arrested as a boat is in caracas for a set there is a john bolton there i guess emphasizing the impact that they hope that the sanctions will have their defining is very strong what reaction where you are to be

sanctions. well what more sanctions in venezuela this time banning american companies from doing business in this country seizing venezuelan assets in the united states threatening foreign powers and foreign companies from doing business in this country so it's definitely it has had an impact would be hearing all day from venezuelan officials complaining about what the united states has done there saying that this is a mortal blow paid against this country that is banning venezuela for any type of financial market they call their economic terrorism figured out a statement saying that they are doing this because of corruption human rights abuses and because they do not recognize me. president of venezuela they insist that you go fishing you know why bo is really giving the president in this country venice what is going through a very deep economic crisis that has forced millions out of venezuela

hyperinflation shortages of medicine of food of food that people simply cannot afford because prices are going up so fast in spite of this opposition leader why i don't believe that this is the best way to go and insist that the most important thing is going to continue pressuring the venezuelan government. this is nothing to do with the purchasing of food medicine and private companies this doesn't have anything to do with it all goes against those who are rich themselves at the expense of the people enrich themselves at the expense of people who need medicine . so far how was all of this is affected or how could it affect the ongoing negotiations between the opposition and the government in venezuela. well let's put into. what's been happening in this country since january when. the president of the national assembly here decided to call himself the legitimate

interim president of venezuela not recognizing the elections that happened last year when he was elected since then what we have seen is the persecution of the opposition massive protests on the streets very fierce repression from the government and what we're standing right now is this going to go see a show that happening in barbados with the mediation of norway it's been very secretive we do not know exactly what is being discussed however we do know that the opposition wants free and fair elections in this country they do not believe that it will be able to get venezuela out of the crisis for the government. they say that. and in 2025 in spite of this in spite of the anger because of the sanctions the government is saying that this negotiations will continue the opposition says exactly the same thing the other trying to find all sorts of way out of the current crisis there's something different in the united states they're saying that there's no negotiation that time in office but they believe that what

he's doing right now with this simply buying time. that it's over with the latest on that because that is a thank you this is the al-jazeera news hour live from london still ahead on the program the u.n. refugee agency says a new italian lol targeting n.g.o.s by going ships could be in danger lives a photo of a black man's arrest in texas sparks go to in the united states and then sports tributes from teammates as riders paused to remember the belgian cyclist killed on monday during the cold. but for. stu u.s. president donald trump has shrugged off fears of a protracted trade war with china he says investment is flooding into america and that the economy is strong trumps comments came a day after the u.s.

treasury accused china of currency manipulation our white house correspondent kimberly health reports. a strong economic position that's the claim the trump white house made amid an intensifying trade war turned currency dispute between the united states and china america's job for business america is open for business it's been a week of back and forth between the world's 2 largest economies and monday the u.s. treasury accused china of currency manipulation following a sharp drop in the u.n. against the american dollar filling a campaign promise made by u.s. president donald trump. the drop comes following more u.s. tariffs on chinese goods last week 10 percent on 300000000000 products effect of september 1st china retaliated announcing its state run companies would stop buying u.s. agricultural products inflicting further strain on u.s.

farmers but on twitter president trouble argued the u.s. is benefiting from the economic tit for tat massive amounts of money from china and other parts of the world is pouring into the united states companies are also coming to the u.s. in big numbers this is a transformative president. who is going in many places where prior presidents and both parties have fear to tread and i think part of that has to be trade. but the trade war has hurt american farmers already the u.s. government has put in place to aid packages to compensate for the billions in lost sales for products like soybeans and pork to china and we hope to see fewer acts like this which serves no one's interest as we also hope you. yes sticks to the facts and solves the u.s. china economic and trade issue for rationally and practically rather than move further along the wrong path the white house says it's still working with china to

negotiate what it calls the right deal it expects more talks with beijing in september kimberley health at al-jazeera the white house a texas police chief has apologized after a photo of a black man's of arrest went viral 2 white male officers mounted on horseback were seen leaving the handcuff the suspect by a rope photos of donald neely's weekend of rest have been widely circulated on social media will share a tad she joins us live now from washington d.c. for more on this story she have it's that for me a shocking image what reaction has there been to it. outrage from the local community double nearly was arrested on saturday for criminal trespass he's bipolar he's homeless in fact his family have been trying to find him and locate him to try and bring him back home the police know he's mentally ill they've had several run ins with him in the past and yet this is how they treated him they

decided that because they say a very cool wasn't ready at the time of his arrest they would have caught them attach a rope to those handcuffs and then lead him on horseback for 2 blocks to a staging area they say that this is perfectly normal normal routine procedure in volatile situations that is crowd control because this isn't this wasn't a issue of crowd control of the time so we do not have this apology from the police chief all that is qualified but he said 1st and foremost i must apologize to mr neely for this on necessary embarrassment although this is a training technique and best practice in some sonorities i believe i believe officers showed poor judgment in this instance and could have waited for a transport units at the location of the rest my officers didn't have any malicious intent to the time of the arrest but we've immediately changed the policy to prevent the use of this technique and we review all mounted training and procedures for the appropriate methods as far as we're aware no disciplinary action will be taken against the officers the family is trying to consider its next move legally

but as this is a time when this issue of white supremacy casual white supremacies being debated in the u.s. is nothing new but donald trump the shootings over the weekend they brought it back into into the limelight and just the casual nature of these officers don't even realize they're doing anything that might be perceived as being redland of white supremacy of slavery of the routine violence meted out to african-americans particularly during the 20th century but also by police officers we report on that all the time the way the police officers deal with the mentally ill all of these factors coming back into play when we know that the mentally ill are 16 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than those who there's a lot to unpack in this picture and it really is all that smoke but again i think this is a really new it's something that is necessarily routine but the point is especially in recent times these things that are being captured on social media and going viral. chevra fancy with the latest on that story from washington d.c. thank you ron is sending doctors to the democratic republic of congo to help

treat ebola patients health ministers from both countries have held talks as fears grow over the outbreak that has claimed more than $1800.00 lives and that the r.c. of also agreed to tighten health screenings at their shared border stephanie decker has more now from the rwandan city of does any or thousands of people cross over from that they are see every single day. everyone is on edge this border guard is making sure these people join the queue. no one can come in to wonder from the democratic republic of congo without a health check that monitoring so many people is a challenge temperatures are taken hands are washed people are scared. is killing badly this lady tells us. you stop bleeding in your head you get a fever and a cough that's why they tell you to wash your hands you know. yes

a fear burleigh blood comes from were heard to our eyes and mouth and from everywhere in your body it makes me on friday so i wash my hunt. 4 people were diagnosed with a bow in the border city of goma over the last few weeks it's escalated concern here in rwanda because the highly infectious disease has never come so close we are on the border between iran and the democratic republic of congo this is going on and just a few meters really right next door is the seine rwanda so this shows you just how close the 2 cities are and the problem is the mass movement of people thousands of people are crossing this border every day which is why health workers will tell you it's a real challenge when it comes to checking people temperatures they have to wash their hands it's very difficult to contain. rwanda's tighten screening and security measures along its border it's a health workers nightmare i think you saw the traffic is. it's

a huge number of people over 60. and that is this cleaning is not easy you so we have the numbers but not sufficient enough to do this we need. as managed by science we don't manage it by panic and so what you have to do is to ensure that we do the right thing at the right time protect our borders it get to the masses the population. you feel about a good sick what to do. doctors in the d.r. see say they're only discovering around 50 percent of the cases sharing their knowledge with their wanton counterparts here in the seine it's the 1st time the 2 sides meet to discuss how to fight the disease together experts report an increasing number of ebola cases and say much more needs to be done to be able to stop the outbreak spreading. stephanie decker al-jazeera husseini on the rwanda d r c border. well the last people epidemic in africa was the deadliest in the history

it began in 2014 and it lasted 2 years gagne sarah leone and liberia cases were also reported in mali area more than a. 7300 people were killed before west africa was the clarity bowl of free that was in 2016 and health workers were some of those most at risk lay bierria lost 8 percent of its stock there is nurses and midwives the disease was sierra leone and guinea lost 7 and one percent of their medical workers respectively well caroline is the u.k. health advisor of doctors without borders she joins us now in this to give out of the so much for being with us here on al-jazeera so obviously if nothing new in africa we saw the latest outbreak 2014 what lessons did we learn then they can be used now in dealing with the disease in the or c. . well it's a very specific context so it is both similar and dissimilar to the west africa

outbreak as well as to the 9 previous outbreaks. in the r.c.c. i'd say that there are 3 overarching lessons learned that without which we will not be able to bring this outbreak to a close the one that we've been talking about the most is community trust without mutual trust and engagement between the bowler responders and the communities and that are most affected we're not going to bring able to bring this to a close 2nd is people centered response and health services that deliver on the holistic needs of the patient so explain to us exactly what you mean by that. yeah the get sort of holistic approach of the people centered health center at the moment the response is structured that. response and services are kind of siloed from the existing health system the more you integrate them into the health system which populations to use the more that facilitates access and give proximity to populations that need to get to it what do you mean sort of the existing doctor

surgeries effectively having people it means the health centers because what we see at the moment is people continuing to use health centers but we're not seeing the uptake of. services the way we would want so there's trust in health facilities if you really integrate health service services into health facilities and people will be able to access them more more easily and there's more trust involved there and it also means that for people who are suspected of the bowler but actually have malaria if they come in get tested they can still access to care for other conditions ok and that was a sort of point that you were mentioning as well the 3rd point is that whilst there's a lot of attention on the ball at the moment a lot of resources coming in. is not a lot of people's main concern in particular in northeastern d r c or in the middle of ongoing measles outbreak is when the largest we've seen in a while there is a concurrent breaks of cholera the malaria peak and we have issues of violence and

displacement which are not being responded to in the same manner and very very briefly how worried are you about being hit relatively worried so far there's been few cases but it is a city that is has all the conditions for it to be a hub of transmissions it's dense urban population almost $2000000.00 people there's informal health systems there and there is international transport links as well as a proximity to other countries so if it's not seriously scaled up in the preparedness and response we have concerns and that must be done together with affected communities in goma carol u.k. health adviser of doctors without borders madam thank you. now troops have been the forward to restore calm in malawi's capital where after battles broke out between protesters and police there have been continuous them instructions since president . terminate pro protesters say the vote was rigged and want the head of the

incidents on a plane. very unsettled picture still across much of europe not carry skies across eastern sections in the last few hours that it continues to stream in from the west and look at this by wednesday just a blanket over rain and cloud across many central areas very heavy at times particularly across the line of the last atoll 23 degrees with that rain and those thunderstorms even training on into southern france northeastern sections of spain and again quite a bit of cloud he was some rain also pushing into the west of portugal quite an intense ever precious sitting across northern sections of the u.k. that heads across tools scandinavia by thursday. just really sort of allows this next system to also pushing on its heels look at this

a fairly intense air of low pressure. as that system comes across a clear day across much of the berrien peninsula and then that right across central regions really pushing further tools east into western russia not as cold as it has been in moscow with a high of 23 degrees celsius but certainly a roll the damp day and quite windy is quite windy really across these sections generally of your it with that next system that is coming through and we head down into northern africa there's no rain here we have again going to be financial breeze in some areas. that pressure on thursday 36. in an exclusive series of documentaries i was born into a very ordinary japanese family al-jazeera shows 5 different stories i am just too excited to focus on anything else right now from 5 different countries i knew it was true i wanted it but i was most importantly. with the one journey no one

in my family has ever been to mecca this is the joyful location the road to has an al-jazeera. setting in the discussions police in cape town has struggled to getting steadily down by examining the headlines now under president putin russia is making a push to engage explore an abundance of world class programming designed to inform motivate and inspire me but. it's almost 2nd nature and i also know what they see the world from a different perspective on al-jazeera. a

reminder now of the top stories on al-jazeera pakistan's prime minister has warned that the crisis in kashmir could explode into a regional indeed administered kashmir has been under lockdown since india's government stripped the region of its autonomous status and revoked special rights granted to its citizens. the u.s. says new sanctions against venezuela will cost of financing for president nicolas maduro america's frozen all venezuelan government blocking u.s. companies and individuals from doing business with my administration and us president donald trump. over a long trade war with china saying the american economy is strong. well let's get more on our top story now the tensions in kashmir i'm joined in the studio by victoria schofield author of kashmir in conflict india pakistan and the un. thank

you so much for joining us on al-jazeera i love asli ask you about the latest developments especially comments that we've had come out of the of the pakistani leadership but 1st of all just your overview of the indian government's actions and what we're seeing with indian administered kashmir when i was in the valley this year and it was expected there was a lot of anxiety that this was going to take place to a number of reasons that once the elections had taken place and provided the b j p did get a 2nd term of office. this has been part of the manifesto what has been surprising has been that the clause really that this would be done in consultation with the stakeholders that somehow being overlooked and so what's surprising is the manner in which it's been done the speed in which it's being done and one might say for democracy this is probably very undemocratic way of putting into practice an act which was. but our own just be unpopular and as we know there's been

a great deal of alienation in the valley of kashmir against the indian government so it's somewhat surprising that the indian government has by definition created more alienation as you say the valley is now in lockdown i can't get in touch with anybody we got no internet we've got no emails or journalists can get on thing here and so we do know but that situation cannot last and at some point they're going to have to lift up the barbed wire and then you're going to have people out on the streets protesting and this is the last thing that the indian government really wants if it wants to bring genuine kashmir back into the fold so it's a really extraordinary thing to have done at this moment in time in terms of timing obviously prime minister he wants to say i'm a prime minister who keeps to his pledges when we have the indian anniversary celebrations on august 15th i guess in all of this pakistan's reaction has been predictable we've seen imran khan come out earlier today almost threatening or all

out war saying that it could be could be a potential risk from everything that's happening do you think that is serious we think pakistan's role will be in order to get i think the timing is very unfortunate because we've just got simmer down from the. situation which we had in february and relations that just sort of were not exactly core deal but was the killing of the indian soldiers yes when we had the terrorist attack in southern kashmir over 40 indian soldiers were killed and then you had the retaliatory action by the indians on an alleged training camp we aren't quite sure how many people were killed in that action but it it was a real sort of a tit for tat in a way and everybody both countries felt they came out of it reasonably well in terms of their domestic communities we've just got over that and now we've got this situation pakistan is bound to react because pakistan. from their point of view they consider the state is a disputed state and they are waiting for

a dialogue to resume over the future of the state so this unilateral decision by the government of india which by the way considers the whole state to be part of india. is bound to have the sort of reaction you've got particularly because you're talking about muslims and i'm afraid we can't take the muslim hindu element out of this the valley of kashmir is predominantly muslim and pakistan feels very protective towards muslims in the region and what happens to the muslims and so i think there's nothing particularly. indicating the war's going to sort of be declared but they're bound to saber rattle but do you think it would just take the saber rattling or what actions. is what the situation is when eventually the lockdown is lifted what the reaction is in the valley i think we've got to find out you know really we don't know how the people are feeling and i think this is again

something very startling that decision has been taken over the heads of the people whose livelihood is affected the current schofield author of kashmir and conflict india pakistan and the ending war madam thank you so much for sharing of using with us thank you. police in hong kong have once again clashed with pro-democracy protesters. officers charged towards demonstrators were surrounded a police station in the city's old district in its strongest warning yet china has told the protesters not to play with fire and mistake its restraint for weakness beijing has vowed to bring justice to those responsible for the recent high so. at least 8 people have been killed in the last rebel held area of syria since the regime's a ceasefire truce collapsed just days after it was brokered in kazakstan meanwhile turkey's president has warned that his troops could attack kurdish areas in

northeastern syria very soon said i heard a report. on turkey's border with syria. the bombardment resumes on what is supposed to be a demilitarized zone the 4 day old cease fire in northwest syria came to an end on monday yet more civilians have since been killed minutes after the syrian military declared the cease fire dead syrian and russian warplanes again began targeting populated areas across southern italy province and the northern countryside of nearby hama following months of attacks it blamed the rebels and their backers in turkey for not complying with the order to suspend hostilities the turkish government didn't immediately comment but many here believe the ceasefire collapse was a message to turkey as it negotiates with the united states on the creation of what is being called a safe zone in northeast syria. the message is turkey if turkey can able to

you know conduct their military operation in the eastern part of the you know parades leiber then trucking is going to you know control. you know very important parts of syria the syrian kurdish armed group the white peachey which is backed by the united states controls at least 30 percent of syria in the north east turkey considers the y.p. g a terrorist organization and wants to end its presence along its border by controlling a 30 kilometer deep buffer zone that will allow refugees to return a turkish presence there would increase its influence its local allies already control a significant portion of northern syria prosthodontist you know that security concerns are truly in need of force russia understands that they are east of here not be used by any forces. to destabilize the political

situation inside that. there are positions that the syrian territorial integrity through the history or. it is where russia and turkey which support opposing sides in the war have been bargaining the ceasefire was fragile and conditional to begin with russia said discussions with turkey didn't focus on the terms of the ceasefire but on measures to fight what it calls armed terrorist groups but the decision to scrap the cease fire was unexpected and sudden because there were reports it will last until at least after the muslim holidays next week . yet again the fate of its people is in russia and turkey's hands. the united nations and the european union have voiced concern over a new italian law targeting charity rescue boats in the mediterranean the law gives the palin government more authority to block ships trying to bring migrants ashore

the koreas seen as a victory for the far right interior minister but there are some vini who says that rescued migrants can only land in italy if other e.u. countries agree to take them in alexey o'brien reports. calling for a safe harbor the spanish rescue vessel open arms remains off the coast of italy carrying more than 120 migrants it picked up from the mediterranean sea. italy's refusing to late at docking is threatening a $50000.00 fine if the captain tries. to go after god but since the italian parliament approved a new law on monday targeting open arms could face a fine of up to $1100000.00. there were protests against the so-called security decree which allows for the arrest of captains who ignore orders to stay out of italian ports and the immediate seizure of their boats

the european union says it's analyzing the changes to see if they compatible with e.u. laws while the un's refugee agency warns the decree could put already vulnerable people and even more danger n.g.o.s play an invaluable role in saving the lives of refugees and migrants attempting the dangerous sea crossing to europe their commitment and humanity should not be criminalised more stigmatised the decree is seen as a victory for deputy prime minister. and his far right leg passy he says rescued migrants can only land in a silly if an agreement is already in place with other european countries to look after them. in june the german captain of a say watch rescue ship was briefly detained for breaking an italian naval blockade trying to stop her bringing a group of migrants ashore. italy's one of the main mediterranean entry points for people fleeing conflict and poverty in the middle east and north africa. the u.n.
