winning a nuclear arms race despite a mysterious accident in the arctic as cause a spike in radiation levels. how a trade war between the u.s. and china is affecting latin america's stable economy. in small domestic waddles liverpool and chelsea prepared to face each other on the european stage we'll hear from both manages ahead of wednesday's european super cup final in istanbul. but begin with the escalating political crisis in hong kong where there's been a burst of violence between protesters and police at the city's international airport started after an injured man who was being held by protesters was taken away by medics demonstrators say he was an undercover officer for the chinese mainland earlier flights were suspended for a 2nd day after thousands of protesters jammed the terminal chanting singing and

waving banners. hong kong's protests were sparked by a controversial extradition bill which has since been shelved but the demonstrators want it totally withdrawn they have 5 demands in all including the unconditional release of protesters and an investigation into police brutality want to have that have made has more what happened after the clashes that had scuffles rather that erupted here de airport is that the airport authorities had going to be finding injunction and that injunction was granted basically that would allow to disperse any further sit in or protests here airport now it's not clear how that would happen it's also not clear whether tomorrow wednesday we will see this do seem scenes that we have seen over the past 48 hours again a here at home kong's international airport so but what you do have you do get a sense is that all sides are sort of hardening their position and no one wants to

give in certainly the protesters have been if you look around the airport there everywhere you look now it is they have been taken away but you had these leaflets and these brute shoes that were stuck everywhere where they were explaining that they were angry at police that they had 5 demands now and that they would not back off from these 5 demands joshua long is a leading voice in hong kong's pro-democracy movement he says the territory's government isn't doing anything to address protesters demands. but its brutality does not get way out the can people might not be truly. agree on what or the behavior of protest or how home government officials just baby high hopes the riot police and do nothing and keep silence is the most difficult situation that we are facing we just hope people around who work to understand our cause still for you action we have to get back to our own government is the type to stop police

brutality when one of our young lady join the protest in permanent blindness that's why this right might continue and we notice clash this happening on how police concord slow down and transform the international city to a police state it's really terrible is that us get what we'll program to do next where the hong kong riot police moved just life threatening weapon just like all bullets fired on home home activists has shot them the things that we saw only were we specially when police in the past was just told to guns and point to as people point to is the head of people what kind of uncertainty and cases might be generated by riot b police it strongly afraid and regret always say well beijing says is preparing committing trails in the mainland city of shenzhen just across the border from hong kong schooltime. 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 a state run media that put out video and stills of armored personnel carriers and paramilitary forces gathering here in the city actually to athletic field just outside central singe in now obviously this sends 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 it'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 well then 500 migrants from maine stranded in the mediterranean sea after being rescued by 2 aid boat the ocean viking ship run by doctors without borders picked up with 300 migrants on sunday and monday and the spanish open arms vessel has been a sea for 12 days waiting for potentially approval the u.n. refugee agency has appealed for countries to take them in so far no year opin state member has asked to coordinate the boat disembarking. jay batt is a project coordinator with doctors without borders and he's on board the rescue vessel in the mediterranean he's going to the italian will tease governments to provide a safe port. we had 4 rescues in for 4 days in a row we had the 1st rescue 85 people the 2nd rescue was again 85

people the 3rd 81 and the last rescue was 105 people on our last rescue just moments after we got life jackets on all the people on board the rubber boat part of the river boat collapse and people actually went in the water if we wouldn't have been there just minutes before they would definitely have been more that in the mediterranean we have contacted both the multiset doherty's and the italian authorities are questioning a port of safety so we are relying on them to give us a proper place for disembarkation some of these people have been at sea for for $4.00 to $3.00 to $4.00 days in these rubber boats which aren't even worthy for being at sea there's severely dehydrated they are showing signs of physical abuse psychological abuse from their time in libya wounds i'm just saying on their hands and feet speak for themselves they talk tell the stories about their times in

officials and their press conferences for example your principal secretary wrote consul has said on tuesday that restrictions have been relaxed in various parts of the region and that here in germany it was almost and it was actually entirely free of restrictions but we are selves have noticed that phone and internet restrictions remain in place here on monday the largest city in india to mr mir so the tightest restrictions since the beginning of the lockdown when india stripped the region of its autonomy and on tuesday india supreme court has said that we expect normalcy but nothing can be done nobody knows what is happening and one has to rely on the government and quote adding that this whole issue was a sensitive matter. pakistan has asked the un security council to me to india's decision to revoke kashmir special status the disputed region is split between india and pakistan but is claimed by both countries in its entirety and i said to the council the pakistani foreign minister warns that his country will respond

militarily if india chooses to use force. says china has backed its move to hold a un meeting poland which is president of the security council this month says the issue will be discussed. from a saudi women's rights activist who jane an affluent has rejected a proposal to secure her release from prison in exchange for a video statement denying reports that she was quote tortured in custody after he was arrested more than a year ago along with at least a dozen other women's rights activists the case sparked international condemnation rights groups say have 2 and 2 others were abused and held in solitary confinement for months. joining me now is international human rights lawyer toby cadman thanks very much for coming in here just to give us a bit more information about. jane's case in particular what she's been charged with well she is one of a number of women's rights activists in saudi arabia. she was one of those who is

behind the push for women to be given the right to drive. but the charges against her and she has not a trial yet but that the charges that she face faces are actually quite ludicrous which includes talking to foreign journalists in saudi arabia applying or attempting to put apply for a job at the u.n. and. so the usual kind of brought charges of bringing the state into disrepute so so the charges themselves are actually quite ludicrous so what do you think i mean her family says she was asked to do a video denying reports that she was tortured in custody exchange for her release what what would you make of it well i think it's a very brave and honorable attempt by her to to maintain innocence she hasn't done anything wrong and certainly when when we see a person being. pressured into giving a false statement as

a condition of her release i think it's a very strong indication of the credibility the nature of the treatment that she has faced so i mean you mention that she was arrested at least dozen other women and at the time it seemed an odd juxtaposition because saudi arabia was was daunting wearing the right to drive at the same time putting in jail people who campaigned for it what what do you think the the thinking was behind that move well i think it was certainly and of course you know what we sort of saudi arabia. the saudi officials applauding themselves for giving the women the right to do something which is recognized all over the world. but i think it's what they were complaining for was much more than just the right to drive obviously. they were campaigning for fundamental rights of women and all individuals inside arabia and i think there was there was a sense as we've seen in the past we will obviously have the example of the jamal khashoggi case when the saudi reputation is

a stake the way in which they respond is quite brutal and i think that's what we're seeing here and you mentioned the case of jamal khashoggi he was killed in the saudi consulate in any stumble by saudi agents since that happened and the outcry that followed it has there been any shift in terms of improving human rights and absolutely not i think one of the one of the things that we're also seeing now is more and more women fleeing saudi arabia because of the draconian guardianship laws and various other group represents a number of saudi women who have sought to flee from saudi arabia and you are asked these women has the situation changed since this this great announcement of reform with women being able to drive and even being allowed to go to the cinema those changes have had no significant impact and even what we're seeing now is that

the guardianship rules are supposed to be relaxed all removed within 3 months is that going to have any impact on women's lives in saudi arabia generally know that most women consider it will not because of the the cultural problems that are faced with women and even men who are trying to exercise fundamental rights rights that we take for granted in a society which is a brutal dictatorship to be kevin thank you very much indeed for coming to talk to thank you thank you. what live from london still ahead they fled bombardment only to be confronted by famine from each internally displaced yemenis struggling to survive the countries for a half year war. the world health organization warns against public misinformation campaigns after a dramatic rise in global media is measles cases. and at the whim of the wind the best paragliding pilots take to the skies of north macedonia for the world

doctors who treated people injured in the incident have been taken to moscow for medical examination no official explanation has been given as to why the explosion caused a radiation spike of up to 16 times the normal level of a sit for city is a test site for ballistic missiles used by nuclear submarines steadfast and has more from moscow. only 5 days after this mysterious explosion in the north of russia in the area of congleton we now know that the weather agency has measured radiation levels up to 16 times higher than normal in the city of suffered since where exactly this testing nearby took place the highest measurement was actually at a kindergarten so of course there's a lot of suspicion and also conspiracy theories going on here in russia about what exactly has happened the government has been very tight lipped the only thing that

we heard from the vice presidential spokesman was that people should just trust the information that's been conveyed to them by the russian authorities and also about these radiation levels he said that all the state agencies are working to make sure that the people are safe but of course a lot of people still remember what happened in chernobyl in 1986 there was of course a different scale of radiation there but also then there was an information blackout and that's exactly where people are really worried about the suspicion of course increased because the stories by the government has changed in the last 5 days initially the ministry of defense said there was no radiation then suddenly the local authorities admitted there was a short but quite high spike of radiation and then the the levels went back to normal initially there were 2 victims suddenly there were $75.00 scientists died at the site and then only on sunday the authorities sort of confirmed that there was a small nuclear powered engine that exploded there's also

a lot of speculation about what exactly was being tested there and american observers have said that this is the this skyfall the new missile that flooding a put in the post about last year saying that this could reach every corner of the planet because it is nuclear powered. yes president don't trump has weighed in on the russian incident they sting american superiority in will nuclear weapons industry has war from washington d.c. no official reaction from the state department or the defense department here in washington what we do have is a tweet from donald trump of course it's $21000.00 in the united states that's the only statement we've got from the u.s. government he put out the united states is learning much from the field missile explosion and russia we have similar the more advanced technology the russians skyfall the explosion has people worried about the year around the facility and far beyond not good know there are those who are critical of what the president put out

saying that this gives the russians a heads up on what the united states is working on if indeed that is the case there's always some don't when it comes to donald trump's tweets but if they are working on that then i'm sure it wouldn't be much of a surprise to the russians experts who've looked at the explosion see what they believe the russians were working on was a missile that could be fired anywhere in the world because it is powered by a small nuclear reactor and we know that the problem when it comes to dealing with nuclear reactors is miniaturized nation making them small enough to do the job that is required the americans actually looked at this technology in the fifty's and sixty's and had a number of failures and so tended to forget all about it at that point now what is interesting is the timing of this it comes just a week or so after the united states pulled out of a nuclear treaty with russia and that led many to see there's a real possibility of a new nuclear arms race but this weapon wouldn't be covered by that reagan era

treaty that's because this is according to the experts a conventional weapon the difference of course is that it's being powered by a nuclear reactor a very small nuclear reactor and that they believe is what caused the explosion. jim walsh is an international security and research associate at the massachusetts institute of technology's security studies program he joins us live from boston thanks for being with us what's your take on what's going on here well i definitely think they were testing what is a cruise missile that would have a nuclear reactor be powered by a nuclear reactor and if some of your viewers are out there saying well gee that sounds like a bad idea to take a missile with a warhead and strap a nuclear reactor to it a flying nuclear reactor that doesn't sound very smart and they're right it's a terrible idea i think they're going to spend a lot of money on this and it isn't going to go anywhere and they'll endanger the

local community as they are now you know there's a bad long history in the u.s. in russia and going back to soviet times of testing these things and building nuclear complexes and really the local population being the one that suffers and i don't think they're going to get anything for it so but as you introduce lauren when you introduce this segment what did you say you said the russians are boasting that they're winning the arms race so you know we need to step back from this particular incident which is terrible and ask ourselves are we in a nuclear arms race when did that happen isn't that sort of important because that's the reminder here is that the nuclear weapons did not go away climate change important violence bigotry important but the only thing that can destroy the planet tomorrow is a nuclear weapon in the people in charge of that are mr trump and mr putin and mr xi and other so it's i think in some ways hopefully it will get us to focus on this

rather important problem again and i suppose the one of them just as is the lack of transparency because people in russia being concerned that there was some echoes of chernobyl which is 3 decades ago in time to that the handling of the incident they days to explain it then contradictory accounts and people slightly worried by the way that that's happened. you know i would be worried too and if i were in those communities i would be worried and i would not i would be distrustful right it is an authoritarian society and there is a truth not a strong trends you know tradition of transparency there and again that was true in the us in the fifty's and sixty's we had a lot of stuff to do that hurt a lot of people at the local level but i think in some ways the russians have been coming in the last 24 hours they've been more forthcoming they admitted that they had a test and it failed and i think we're going to get some more data from the norwegians this week so in 2019 it's harder to hide stuff than it used to be in the bad old days so in some ways they're being forced to respond even though they don't want to

tell us a bit about the i mean to go back to the arms race and how frightening it can be what is that to stop this continuing to escalate. well that's a great question that's sort of the $1000000.00 question i think the 1st step is to recognize that it's a problem you can't solve a problem once you recognize you have a problem and i think in the u.s. and maybe not in korea maybe not in japan but certainly in the u.s. probably in europe too there's a tendency after the cold war to say well you know we're done with that but that in a box and put it in the closet that that was all sort of taken care of but it wasn't now we didn't build this architecture of sort of rules and institutions that were supposed to put limits on these actors and pave a way towards progress and there was but in the last several years those have been torn up the iran nuclear deal torn up the intermediate range of the are nothing or it range nuclear forces agreement again torn up and that we're less than 2 years away from what is the would be the renewal of something called new start that's the

big last treaty that limits the russians limits the americans on how many strategic weapons they can build and you know that's not looking real good right now and so we're in a situation where we seem to have forgotten the lessons of the past and we're tearing up things it's way easier to tear something up than to build something new and we're putting ourselves on a path where we could have an arms race an actual use of nuclear weapons so part to answer your question the short version is we need to wake up and say hey these are still here these are a threat on par if not more than climate change and some of the other things we face and citizens have to get concerned about it like they did in the 1980 s. like they did in the 1950 s. because where we're headed in the wrong direction thank you to talk to thank you very much for taking the time to speak just on jessica thank you. still ahead on the. rising resistance to antibiotics why kenyan doctors say an

a spike in radiation levels doctors who treated people after thursday's blast have been taken to moscow for medical examination. global measles cases are on the rise with nearly 3 times as many reported so far this year compared to the same time last year according to the world health organization there have been more than 364000 cases in the 1st 7 months of 2019 that's up from more than 129000 in 2018 democratic republic of congo madagascar and ukraine have registered the highest number of cases with 127000 reported in madagascar which are since north an emergency vaccination campaign the us has registered more than 1100 cases in 2019 the highest in 25 years while nearly 90000 cases have been recorded in europe a 6 percent jump from the same time last year globally the figures are the highest

seen since 2006 w.h.o. says misinformation campaigns are partly to blame for growing public resistance to the vaccine but antony found she is the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases he joins us live from in the u.s. state of maryland tell us what your interpretation of why the numbers have gone up so drastically. well there are a number of reason and it depends upon what region of the world you're dealing with and some of the being countries it could almost certainly be a lack of access to the health care system that would allow you to vaccinate the children in a country that is disrupted by any of a number of reasons economic violence wars disruptions of that sort in the developed countries such as in the united states for example the measles outbreak that we have as you mentioned correctly over 1180 cases in 30 states in 2019

which is the most we've had 25 years is a combination of misinformation of the public thinking because of misinformation that vaccines like measles cause adverse events like autism which is completely false and has been completely debunked several times over the years and yet that misinformation still persists and yet there's also a number of people who feel because they don't see any disease around them that they do not want to be told by either the civil or medical authorities that they should vaccinate their children that sort of libertarianism taken to its extreme yeah so it depends on where you are in the world but the bottom line is yeah there's more cases that's the problem just to pick up on that that the that in some you mention in some developed countries that there is a lack of uptake for various reasons and i noticed that in germany they're going to make it a law that children have to in order to be able to go to school and then otherwise

parents we find is it going to need those kind of measures to restore the levels of vaccination. i think so in the united states we have that the children need to get vaccinated before they can enter public schools that's for sure there are some exemptions and sometimes those exemptions really taken advantage of for example the only really very good valid exemption is a medical exemption if you are don't want your child vaccinated with a live attenuated vaccine because they may be ill have an immune to depress disease which would be deleterious for them to get vaccinated but then there are things called philosophical exemptions and philosophical objections which are very often abuse than just another reason or a way where parents cannot get their children vaccinated but what they're doing in germany is not something that is rare that's done in the united states where you

have to get vaccinated busy in order to get into your public schools so just remind us that how i mean if people don't aren't aware of it how effective we have how easily can you prevent measles well that's one of the frustrating things in the ironies is that measles is probably the most transmissible and highly effective infectious virus that we know of it is one of the most transmissible viruses on the other hand the measles vaccine is one of the most effective vaccines that we have available to mankind if you get the 2 shots the prime and the boost of the lot of attenuated vaccine the protection is 97 percent that is a very effective vaccine so it really is a shame when people decide they don't want to take the vaccine because it's such an effective vaccine and is really quite safe tension how to thank you very much indeed for joining us here good to be with you.

antibiotics are credited with saving hundreds of millions of lives worldwide but their increasing availability has accelerated resistance at rates that are worrying doctors in kenya researchers say many drugs and are simply not working either in story reports from nairobi. this is a laboratory in nairobi run by kenya's medical research institute scientists are investigating germs and bacteria that cause diseases with a special focus on antibiotic resistance this problem initially was only in hospitals but now we're finding a lot of people who are in the community but by the time they're getting to the hospital they are very very. researches have concluded antibiotic resistance has been increasing for a number of reasons misuse of medicines including taking too much or not enough taking the wrong drugs also bad environment conditions at best infections in

a friend of mine taught me about medicine for 5 months i then worked with another pharmacist here for a while and when he had to leave i took over the chemist. doctors say i'm qualified fam assists contribute highly to the problem and here's why i'm going to chemist here and i'm going to give the family says fictitious symptoms and see what medicine he gives me. the chemist i visit is registered and in a busy part of the neighborhood some of the symptoms i list suggest a us will infection but the pharmacists don't question me much or even ask for any test results or doctor's prescription so i told them that i have a fever and my lower abdomen a me i can call them the medicine that i want some of these drugs can only describe as a. backup to see me home as mother continues to medicate her hoping she'll get better soon and that even if she gets better whatever she's suffering from will not for car catherine soy al-jazeera nairobi. malaysian police have found the body of an

president announced he would slap a 10 percent levy on $300000000000.00 worth of chinese goods from september extending taxes to just about everything china ships to america but officials say terrorists on some products including laptops cell phones and video game consoles will be postponed until the 15th of december trump says he doesn't want the taxes to affect america's christmas shopping season stocks on wall street rose after the news a white house correspondent can really help it has more from washington d.c. . financial markets are reacting positively to that news coming out of the u.s. trade representative's office that there would be a delay in some of the tariffs put on chinese goods into the united states specifically when it comes to things like clothing toys even electronics now these are all things that americans buy and like to give as gifts during the busy december holiday shopping season now the president has been talking about this ongoing trade war with china and he says there is still optimism that this can be
