a graveyard because of war and poverty. thousands of protesters have gathered for a 5th day hong kong's international airport on monday a large demonstration shut down the region's busy hop on kong's chief executive carrier says weeks of antigovernment protests are damaging the rule of law she told reporters the city in her words is seriously wounded. warning that hong kong will take a long time to recover from the violent demonstrations. siple violence no matter if it's using violence or condoning violence will push hong kong down a path of no return will plunge hong kong society into a very worrying and dangerous situation i believe that those who heard my words previously might have only half believed me but the situation in hong kong in the
12:02 pm
past week has made me very worried that we have reached this dangerous situation. meanwhile operations are slowly resuming at hong kong international airport passengers have been queuing to check in less than 24 hours after demonstrators flooded the main terminal a protest forced the cancellation of more than $100.00 flights problem brian is live for us at hong kong international airport so are we seeing a turnout as strong as yesterday's. that's right sammy use you mentioned their flights have been resuming but there's a danger of them slowing down and being disrupted once more we've been seeing crowds of protesters gathering in the past couple of hours here on this tuesday afternoon in fact there's so many people here with their devices it's very difficult at the moment to get a signal out and you may lose this at some point just want to forewarn you but there are protesters on both levels once more of this departure the terminal number
12:03 pm
one this is the arrival hall where they have their ongoing sit in trying to tell arriving passengers all about their cause what they are complaining about but also more specifically about what they say has been the uptick in a surge in what they say is police brutality especially in some of the more recent demonstrations that have been broken up by the police but all focus now all attention is on this level that we're on at the moment this is a departure level because we've had a calls go out to throughout the day on various social media platforms for protesters to come up here as they did 24 hours ago in a sheer weight of numbers tens of thousands of people brought to the departures to a standstill now it has to be stopped we have seen a gradual build up of protesters we've been seeing protesters come down these these passageways with stacks of trolleys which they then take down today where the check in desks are and they do those trolleys some of them are turned over on the side
12:04 pm
and gradually there's a build up of people and their hope what they're hoping for is of course the sheer numbers. will stop people being able to check in i don't so is it did yesterday monday cause the airlines basically to say. it is a kind of tipping point and they say that's it we can't operate under these conditions it's not safe for our stuff we pull them out and then the airport has no choice but say that's it for the moment departures are canceled now we haven't reached that point yet you people are checking in at the at number of different aisles here but instead of going through the day to do you parked your area which is actually blocked the departure doors are blocked they're being directed to terminal 2 which is just. behind us here. across the roadway and people are getting away from there but we do understand that. students and protesters are also trying to block departures from terminal 2 so it's really hanging in the balance at the moment about whether the airlines will stay open the
12:05 pm
airport will stay operating there is a possibility that as we come 3 3 later in the afternoon and early evening as people start work maybe they'll come here and also protest we simply don't know at the moment but then as this is unfolded some of us we know basically we deal with one unprecedented situation after another sammy will be watching out for it then thanks so much from mcbride there scott hyla has more for us from shands end in mainland china. so engine here is the gateway from mainland china into hong kong territory behind me there's a railway station there's a bus station there's a way for pedestrians to make their way into hong kong territory now also what's been happening here in engine over the last couple days is quite interesting you know there was state run media that put out video and stills of armored personnel carriers and paramilitary forces gathering here in the city actually an athletic field just outside central change in now obviously this sends
12:06 pm
a message to those who are protesting in hong kong there's this big military force just across the border the central government says they are here for a large exercise that's going to be happening over the next couple days this is coupled with the strengthening of rhetoric also coming out of beijing calling what's happening in some of those protests terrorism and saying that they will crack down with an iron fist but when you talk to people here in mainland china about what's going on in hong kong they have a much different view than those in hong kong they say they're frustrated they're angry and they're also scared we actually talked to some people who are going on their way into hong kong from mainland china here one family was going to hong kong disneyland and they said they're frustrated because they're worried about the safety of their children so obviously a much different view of what's happening in hong kong here in mainland china. has overshadowed the muslim holiday of eden of kashmir the indian control hundreds of people came out to protest against new delhi's decision to strip the region's autonomy to really annex in the territory they marched on the streets of the
