the sit in now in its 5th day hundreds of flies have been cancelled at one of the world's busiest airports hong kong government is continuing to stand behind a tougher police tactics after security forces said they were facing increasing violence anger at what protestors say is police brutality in dealing with them has fired up these airport demonstrations earlier in the day hong kong's embattled leader kerry lamb gave a press briefing to warn of the economic damage of closing the airport but gave no hint of backing away from hers and beijing's resolute stance that you have executives responsibility is to ensure that hong kong remains a safe and orderly and law abiding city that is my utmost responsibility because without the rule of law without law and order in hong kong. it is extremely difficult to ensure the 7000000 people in hong kong could continue

to live in a peaceful manner choose they had begun with a return to business as airlines started clearing the backlog of canceled flights protester numbers weren't as big as the day before but enough to block access to do security and immigration areas and to use enough trolleys to close down the check in desks by and large the protesters have left the airport and all you have here are passengers trying to figure out when they can cast a next flight home awaits to see whether wednesday will bring more disruption to air travelers but more importantly when and if both or it is patience will run out for the. at home cause international airport. meanwhile beijing says it's preparing for military drills in the mainland city of shenzhen just across the border from hong kong scott hardly has more. 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 into 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 in athletic fields just outside central 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. more than 500 migrants remain stranded in the mediterranean sea after being rescued by 2 aid but the kingship run by doctors without borders picked up with 300 migrants on sunday and monday and the spanish open vessel has been sea for 12 days waiting for poor approval and the un refugee agency has appealed for countries to take them in a safe on a european state member has asked to coordinate the. i don't use that huge a peg who's a project coordinator with doctors without borders and you don't build the ocean biking rescue vessel in the mediterranean he's going to be italian

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 arbitrary detention being forced into slavery rape being tortured and seeing people next to them killed for no reason at all. russia says it's winning a nuclear arms race despite a mysterious rocket testing accident in the north of the country which caused a spike in radiation levels the blast happened on thursday at an offshore naval testing base in several vince northeast us in petersburg at least 5 people died russian doctors who treated people injured in the incident had been taken to moscow for medical examination the official explanation has been given as to why the explosion caused a radiation spike of up to 16 times the normal level of a city is a test site for ballistic missiles used by nuclear submarines step us 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 that 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 at 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 the lighting to put in the boasted about last year saying that this could reach every corner of the planet because it is nuclear powered u.s. president all trump has weighed in on the russian incident boasting of american

ship irritating nuclear weapons industry and fisher has more from washington d.c. . no fishel 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 in russia we have similar the more advanced technology the russian skyfall explosion has people worried about the year around the facility and far beyond not good no 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 miniaturise 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 it 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. india's supremum court says the government needs more time to restore order in controlled kashmir the court has been hearing
