tried to save him in vain so police were sent to help that that's when this couple's broke out even though fish oils had released. their mission wasn't to disperse the city now in its 5th day hundreds of flights had been canceled at one of the world's busiest airports hong kong's 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 chief executives responsibility is to ensure that hong kong remains a safe and orderly and law abiding city that is most
2:03 am
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 airline 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 and next flight home awaits to see whether wednesday will bring more disruption to air travelers but more importantly when and if authorities patients will run out without the
2:04 am
elders or at home calls international airport. no the human the u.n. human rights office wants hong kong's leaders to look into whether police have broken international law in the way they've dealt with protesters yes very concerned because the violence appears to be increasing. and. certainly segments of the population appear to be getting angry and this is one of the reasons why we call for prompt impartial independent investigations the office urges the hong kong authorities to act with restraint to ensure that the rights of those who are expressing their views peacefully are respected and protected while trying his mission to the u.n. has rejected the statement and they say and we quote the spokes person for the u.n. high commissioner for human rights made a wrongful statement on hong kong that contradicts the facts interferes in what's happening in hong kong which is china's domestic affairs and sends the wrong signal
2:05 am
to the violent criminal offenders the statement goes on to say that this is not tolerable for any responsible government and will only be met with a firm hand in accordance with the law and tweeting in washington d.c. u.s. president all trump seemed to suggest china is preparing for a tougher crackdown he says our intelligence has informed us that the chinese government is moving troops to the border with hong kong everyone should be calmed and safe well earlier we spoke to scott hyder who's on the border. change in 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 the 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 an athletic field just
2:06 am
outside central shenzhen 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'll 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 gordon chang is the author of the coming collapse of china joins me now via skype from toronto in canada good to have you with us live on al-jazeera but beijing seems to be facing a conundrum doesn't it when looking at what's been happening or unfolding in hong
2:07 am
kong these past few months i mean how does china restored sort of the 2 systems one country policy and get back to normal all certainly have a normal relationship with hong kong if it can at all. you know music is to stop doing what it's been doing which is encroaching on the autonomy of the hong kong government and the hong kong people so for instance it was the force behind the extradition proposal that was triggered all these protests when these protests actually go back to april of this year but you know beijing has a view that it needs to control encore and so on that you get in the way of taking those steps and making those compromises that we can in the situation and indeed china is perceived to be chipping away at the notion of democracy and freedom in hong kong for example the suppression of the umbrella movement in 2014 the kidnapping of booksellers who publish a text that oppose their overlords in beijing and now as you mention the
2:08 am
extradition bill which we've been focusing on these past few months be it all process through the hong kong legislate chill it's all coming from beijing one way or another these 2 bodies need to try and find a way of catering the protesting public. yes but beijing won't do that so for instance one simple step would be to force kerry lam the hong kong chief executive to resign but they won't do that because they don't want the protesters to have a victory also if he leaves that triggers a renewed calls for universal suffrage which was the subject of those 2014 protests that you mentioned so right now beijing's pretty much box itself into a position which is going to prolong the controversy prolong the demonstrations against then you have another option and you know one has to play devil's advocate here on al-jazeera i mean do you think china would go in hard knowing that the
2:09 am
world is watching and referring to you might say part of historical events when it comes to tiananmen square and the months because there were $989.00 it is a worrying development that could perhaps head into that direction. well it certainly could go in that direction you know chinese leaders are right now are finishing up there they got hot conference every august or almost every august they get together and that seaside resort near of ageing and they talk about important issues well if they follow the pattern will be wrapping up truants the end of this week and we could find maybe there's a consensus for them to do something i tend to think this is just pure speculation i tend to think that they'll eventually move in but we're talking months and months down the road because right now they realize that if they were to deploy the peoples are for the people's liberation army and that they would end up in a long term struggle with more than half of the hong kong population and that's just not a winning scenario were the chinese if you think that in somalia for the future we
2:10 am
perhaps perceive this as an intractable problem is there an obvious way out of the problem that hong kong and beijing face right now that would allow everyone to keep face and allow hong kong you might say to get back to normal. only significant because actions from bijan would allow that situation to occur and i don't for the reasons i mentioned i just don't think the chinese political system right now is configured to make those compromises to people because you know if they do that then you could have contagion throughout the mainland the one thing they're really worried about is the protests spreading throughout mainland china and although people in mainland china don't really sympathise with hong kong people they might be inspired by an example so if the hong kong people were to get significant concessions then people in the mainland would say well what about big you know i'll
2:11 am
do the same thing and i'll get what i want and not would be. an existential threat lisa's a communist party of use of good in china is good to get your insight thanks very much for your time from toronto thank you. on to our other top story and india's supreme court says the government needs more time to restore order in indian controlled kashmir the court has been hearing a petition against india's move to strip the disputed region of its all ptolemy and revoke special rights millions of kashmiris have been false to stay indoors for a 9th straight day without working phones television or the internet hundreds of people do find the security lock down during the holiday on monday to protest against the indian government's actions. in indian controlled kashmir. almost no major international news outlet has been reporting on the situation on tuesday from the crash near valley however the associated press is reporting a strict lockdown for the 9th day in
2:12 am
a row and some residents in some areas are running out of essential supplies most the biggest news media outlets are reporting top government officials and their press conferences for example your principal secretary wrote consul has said on tuesday that restrictions had 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 have noticed that phone and internet restrictions remain in place here on monday the largest city in mere restrictions since the beginning of the lockdown 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. a retired officer he now works on initiatives to build peace in kashmir he says india will have to carefully ease the lockdown if it's to avoid
2:13 am
violence. intersect between the manner in which locking down will be east and the nature of violence we may be may see it in the extreme really critical one because neither the government nor the people of india for that matter the international system. and allow very very large scale casualties this is also concern of the government and that's why you see the national security advisor of india camping in the rally for ever since this problem began india pakistan relations will go more and more into a spiral i do not see any movement forward in that relationship in the months and years ahead whether there is a mediation is a most are unlikely or that is the initiative from both sides not to each other also busy i believe as a security analyst or someone who has been looking at india pakistan very girlie

that there is a compulsion for the 2 countries to talk to each other but this step i'm afraid is going to be a big setback to that process of a possible dialogue between the 2 countries. about 500 refugees migrants all stranded in the mediterranean sea after being rescued by 2 aid boats the ocean viking picked up more than 300 of them on sunday and monday and the spanish open arms tassel has been at sea for 12 days waiting for port entry approval european countries arguing over who should take responsibility for them. is a project coordinator with doctors without borders and dissolve the viking is calling on the italian all multis governments to let them talk. we had 4 rescues in for 4 days in a row we had the 1st rescue we had at 85 people the 2nd rescue was again 85

people 31 and the last rescue was 105 people on that last rescue just moments after 3 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 of them all future 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 and 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've talked tell the stories about their times in arbitrary detention being forced into slavery rape being tortured

2:19 am
submarines step vasant has more from moscow. only 5 days after this mysterious explosion in the north of russia in the area of our congleton we now know that the weather agency has measured radiation levels up to 16 times higher than normal in the city of sanford 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 ready ation 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
2:20 am
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 only 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 you're put in the post about last year saying that this could reach every corner of the planet because it is nuclear powered u.s.
2:21 am
president little trump has weighed in on the incident and some official explains 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
2:22 am
a small nuclear reactor and we know that the problem when it comes to dealing with nuclear reactors is miniaturise issue and 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 is 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 but the police several residents of iraq's capital baghdad are calling for compensation after a large explosion at a military site on monday damaged homes the iraqi government has so far refused to

back you're watching the i was there a news hour with me as a whole robin a reminder of our top stories planes were going flying in and out of hong kong international airport after violent clashes between police and protesters there were mass cancellations as demonstrators flooded terminal buildings for a 2nd consecutive day also into supreme court says the government needs more time to restore order in indian controlled kashmir the court has been hearing a petition against india's move to strip the disputed region of its autonomy and revoke special rights. and scientists are a step closer to curing the a bowl of virus after a successful clinical trial in the democratic republic of congo. so while those good news of the a bowl of front measles is on the rise with infections tripling worldwide according to the world health organization there have been more than 364000 cases in the 1st
2:32 am
7 months of 2019 and that's up from more than 129000 in 2018 the w.h.o. says misinformation campaigns are at least partly to blame for a growing public resistance to the vaccine the highest number of infections are in the democratic republic of congo ukraine and madagascar which is loss of 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. in some of the developing countries it could be 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
2:33 am
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 so it depends on where you are in the world but the bottom line is yeah there's more cases that's the problem. saved hundreds of millions of lives around the world but
