let's the one to trump up the trade wall the economic and environmental costs of sand extract from. us on al-jazeera while really focus liberated as a journalist was on the i'm going to the shows was that i would love all those jokes about. this is al jazeera. hello and welcome to this al-jazeera news hour live from doha i'm martin dennis coming up in the next 60 minutes nearly all flights are canceled at hong kong international airport as thousands of protesters occupy the airport.
6:49 pm
at the moment a rising tension in the gulf region iran's foreign minister sits down for an exclusive interview with al jazeera plus degrees in india you have a rich. rich precious mentality condemnation from pakistan's foreign minister after the indian government revoked kashmir's autonomy last week. i'm going to go with the sports as manchester united bassett chelsea in this season opener and rafael nadal defends a hard court title for the 1st time in his career as he struggles to victory or just cup. but we saw breaking news within the last hour we've heard that all flights leaving hong kong international airport have been cancelled that of the fountains of antigovernment protesters flooded into the arrivals hall more than
6:50 pm
a 100 flights have been affected but the authorities say slides which have already checked in and flights that are currently on their way to the city will not be affected members of the public are being told to stay away from the airport rob mcbride is our correspondent with the latest from inside the airport. incredible scenes at hong kong international airport. hard to walk the last kilometer to get here joining a steady stream of protesters literally thousands of people getting off buses getting out of a vehicles walking through jammed roads to make it here to the terminal bringing this terminal to a complete standstill people here are outraged at what they see as the police brutality in the way that they cleared protest on sunday evening circulating have been various clips of video of police firing tear gas inside stations of wielding
6:51 pm
battens against protesters going down escalators and so on especially significant is the wounding of a good one of the protests who may well have lost an eye 7 as a result people here are carrying various banners and posters calling police brutality calling the police murderers and so on it is true that police did seem to adopt tougher tactics in clearing away sunday's demonstrations possibly it was a way of trying to maybe scare people into not coming out not taking part in illegal activities if that was the case then maybe they have to think again. right now we can see to angelo who is an independent analyst he joins us live from hong kong sky thank you for talking to us and says hong kong international airport brought almost to a standstill how significant is this for the city. well it was the
6:52 pm
aviation industry council the source the people sitting on the. dole this is the political escalation of the boat there's a bridge against what was the scene. of the war the fire wall between teams the actions of those on the main and this ignited groundswell of social ready this and the satisfaction of the only people ready we believe young. that the one country system that's been true to it was the one really rather than the barely was ready a system and so the loss of bill is a loss for fact but at the end of course b.j. seeing has been part of symbols of these in some 40 ransacking police stations but also a scene. of
6:53 pm
a subset of our i saw them both so like i know is a very trying sorry to interrupt but though you've outlined that the protests themselves are escalating also the the handling of by the police of these protests seems to be hardening very much you just heard from our correspondent who's been in hong kong for the duration. well because the what happened last last year of course is also a frame this time of. if you like that kind of play with these kind of sentiments ready accusation it's using ready acts of brutality against those but if you look at what has happened to the public life of us is most of us is a peaceful west it's basic and the satisfaction that's been extremely genuine as i see it young people losing or but then this has been hijacked by the by various other factors the ability the front light of that but it's this so the
6:54 pm
pattern has been that the some peaceful protests then to fund the front line activists all militants will move to the un using all sorts of weapons the book the book the book that is false so in the back of almost and using a catapult fire in a metal that's and also this properly or even cost they're all by explosives. it was probably used by terrorists by some terrorists around the world and hence b.g. but ari and all of the of those wary that this is really all we have to do something much more serious than a civil disobedience the but those you can see in race promoting holds independence and also trashing symbols of all holes of all of the and the suit was that one of the 2 says sorry we can't have to can't leave is that and you know talking to live
6:55 pm
on not a very good line it must be said from hong kong but thank you very much. now iran's foreign minister has accused the us of leading a military buildup in the gulf that could threaten the whole region in an exclusive interview with al-jazeera jobber the reset more warships in the gulf would only lead to more insecurity his comments come after the u.s. announced that it's working to form a military coalition to protect commercial shipping in the gulf following attacks on oil tankers well here with me is our correspondent who actually did the interview with the iranian foreign minister and jeffords or if they're making a clear point that the number of military powers assembling in the gulf region is not going to lead to greater security he is definitely of the view that this is something that would further destabilize the region and he joins the statements
6:56 pm
made by president rouhani and supreme leader before the. early harmonies of the presence of the naval buildup is something that could destabilize. the region the iranian defense minister when he was asked about israel saying they would step in and turn that coalition saying that this could have disastrous consequences on the reach of these were the words of the iranian into your minister so from any perspective this is not something that would. bring about. security in the region. this is a tiny body of water and the more for the naval vessels you have in this body of water the less secure it is for everybody. based on experience presidents of the united states and for the naval fleet in the persian gulf has never produced security we have all very sad memories of u.s.
6:57 pm
ships downing an iranian airliner. in 1988 killing 290 passengers so we believe that the best you can us can do for protection of. maritime navigation is to just leave people alone don't interfere this is. basically a hostile act against iran and i do not believe it's weird have any impact other than insecurity. and hashim you were telling me earlier that with that new axis of conflict are emerging in the war in yemen at the foreign minister was again at pains to point out about the increasing militarization of the region indeed and he was he lashed out at the same time to key u.s. allies in the region saudi arabia and the united arab emirates saying that he should not buy security this was his words from outside the should come talk and in
6:58 pm
