5:02 am
tried to save him in vain so police were sent to help them that's when the scuffles broke out even though fish oils have clearly said their mission wasn't to disperse 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
5:03 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 their 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 and 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 well out of that that had me at home calls international
5:04 am
airport where you and human rights office once hong kong's leaders to look into where the police have broken international law and the way they've dealt with protesters. yes are 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. but china's mission to the un has rejected that statement saying the spokesperson 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 to the violent criminal offenders the statement goes on to say that this is not
5:05 am
tolerable for any responsible government and will only be met with a firm hand in accordance with the law tweeting in washington d.c. the us president also seemed to suggest that china is preparing for a tougher crackdown our intelligence has informed us that the chinese government is moving troops to the border with hong kong everyone should be calm and safe. live to another all reporters in hong kong bryant who joins me now rob i suppose really everybody bracing themselves about what may or may not happen in hong kong with all eyes perhaps. pulled. absolutely this seems now to be the focal point if you like of this movement the demonstrators and the all thora t's know that after occupying it and bringing it to a standstill this is where they can really hits hong kong where it hurts most
5:06 am
remarkably this wednesday morning given the extent of the violence overnight flights are coming in and out again. the airlines trying to clear not only the backlog of flights cancelled flights built up from yesterday tuesday but of course also from the previous day monday hundreds of flights canceled need to be rescheduled the protest the numbers have dropped overnight that's only a relatively few that made the arrival whole busy as they continue this campaign of telling visitors about what's going on here and interestingly the airport authority has been relatively tolerant of having these protesters to be honest there is little a can do when you get thousands of people coming into your terminal quite peacefully and deciding to sit down on the floor there's not much you can do about that but we have. it has been reported here now that the airport authority has achieved an injunction from the courts that could force the protesters to leave but it remains
5:07 am
to be seen just how they are going to wait and force that in what is a public space we'll have to wait and see how that goes as far as the troops across the border are concerned people here are really analyzing this all really waiting to see what is china's red line we keep on having an increase in violence an increase in different ways of this move. being carried out now we have an occupation of the airport people are asking is that china's red line true probably not the stance from the government here and also from china is that the government here on the police can still deal with this situation the chinese know that it is that credibly inflammatory to bring the people's liberation on to the streets of hong kong so i think things still have to get a lot worse than this before they would take that step and of course you know rob
5:08 am
the other big issue is that. hong kong's reputation at stake here in much of the holiday and financial destination but there are real concerns about how much this is costing the island state itself and in turn its reputation there is being badly damaged. that's right yes though there is a lot of concern about that hong kong as we know is a business oriented place that relies on business it relies on visitors coming in and out it is a logistics center needs things like the airport which is one of the world's busiest there will be a financial cost to this but also it is all of the knock on effect of if you can't get the travel is in what is that doing to tourism what is it doing to the financial sector and so on we know that from government figures that tourism is down by around a 3rd and this was last week as these images go out to the world. you can expect to
5:09 am
have even bigger impact on visitors coming here and the government here has said that things could be as worse as sars outbreak of the sars virus that happened in 2003 here that claimed several 100 lives but really did put off millions of people from 3 visiting hong kong for 2 well over a year so there is a possible impact from this but also as far as the austerity is a concern that may well play in their favor this movement still has a lot of support from the general population as as we get more disruption it seems that could see some of that popularity fade away as it did 5 years ago so the government would be hoping in some ways that all of this works negatively against this protest movements as well indeed as we leave you there for the moment to
5:10 am
monitor events in the city we can also see pictures obviously of the airport working normal of course we'll monitor events through the day with you and our correspondents in hong kong thank you. about $500.00 fiji's migrants are stranded in the mediterranean sea after being rescued by 2 h.'s the ocean viking picked up more than $300.00 of them on sunday and monday on the spanish vessel the open arms has been at sea for 12 days waiting for pulled entry approval european countries are looking at who should take responsibility for them well jake bugg is a project coordinator with doctors without borders on his own bolt the ocean viking he's calling on the italian all multis governments to let them dull we had 4 rescues and for 4 days in a row we had the 1st rescue we had at 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
5:11 am
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 point 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 to 3 to 4 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've talked all 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. well the government talking
5:12 am
mexican shot and killed 22 people in the u.s. state of texas last week denounced white supremacy and calls for unity but critics say the president's own anti immigrant rhetoric is fueling the hatred behind such attacks castrate went to 3 that's hot as in mexico to see if u.s. gun violence is giving asylum seekers 2nd thoughts for new york us steel last week's massacre in el paso made her no less determined to reach the united states a mother of 2 from cuba is number 15060 on the waiting list of migrants wanting to enter from sudan what is she says the dangers she's a scaping are far greater than the mass shootings north of the border than $100.00 . believe that we've always been at risk always in danger but when we try to cross they stop us $125.00 migrants from central america south america and africa are
5:13 am
currently staying at this church run shelter in sudan as many have been here waiting for months the pastor says since the shooting u.s. border agents have nearly halted the slow trickle of asylum seekers at the international bridge. everyone is nervous about the situation to see how the shooting has made things slow or. and each day of waiting brings its own threats outside the protective walls of the shelter juarez is becoming more dangerous violence between newly fragmented drug cartels is behind a wave of killings across the country that began late last year just as more migrants were arriving here in juarez $139.00 people were killed last month but the trouble ministration claims mexico is safe for migrants it's use that as justification to force people to wait longer in mexico and to return some to
5:14 am
guatemala so what are you regus carried her new born from honduras she says she's fearful to be turned back. in as though who needs the differences compared to the u.s. our country is much more dangerous a person will always seek with safer for their family. meanwhile the shelter in sudan what is is expanding to fit 100 more people under its roof in preparation for more migrants to be turned back and to stay longer well let's go live to heidi castro who joins me now from el paso texas really despite the hardship and danger even getting to the border as you suggested in the recent shooting in el paso it really isn't deterring those that want to get to the u.s. it seems the lesser of 2 evils. that's right that's the message that we've been hearing consistently with the migrants that we found both here in el paso and across the border and what they're saying is that despite the dangers of getting
5:15 am
through central america and through mexico to arrive here at the u.s. border and despite you know the frightening news coverage of the last week with this this white nationalist who targeted hispanics and apparently immigrants in that mass killing that took 22 lives they said that despite that still the dangers and the risks of staying at home are greater we're hearing stories about the gang violence that have already killed family members or because of government issues schooling being closed for months at a time in these central american countries and the lack of any sort of opportunity or a future for their children and they say that's why that desire to leave home is completely undeterred but i will say what is keeping more people from of reaching this point is mexico's decision to deploy a national guard troops to its southern border with what amala we heard that these
5:16 am
national guard troops are in fact keeping these migrants from crossing into mexico into advance further north here and that may be the reason why in july there was a pretty significant decrease in the number of people who reached this border and attempted to cross down to just about $72000.00 people in a month which was much lower than peak crossings of more than $100000.00 so but of course it's not just military deployments is it it's the agreements that have also been put in place between the u.s. and central american countries to accept asylum seekers there and not let them progress to the u.s. border is that in any way a deterrent the news is getting out to those that are trying to get to the u.s. to basically turn back and go home. sure the message may be having a deterring factor but those programs that you mention which is the one announced
5:17 am
by president trump in july saying that he had signed a treaty with the president of guatemala which makes quite a model of what's called a safe 3rd country meaning that migrants who arrive here at this border would not qualify for asylum in the u.s. if they had already passed through was a mala and would be turned back to watch them all if so there was a lot of talk about that but what it boils down to is that policy has still yet to take effect it's still being discussed in the u.s. government and it's facing a lot of court challenges with critics here saying that such a policy is illegal because what amala itself is not a safe country so claiming to be a so-called safe 3rd country is invalid and adding to the uncertainty of whether or not this policy will ever take effect is that the incoming president who is newly elected in guatemala has said that he believes
5:18 am
a 3rd country treaty with trump signed by his predecessor is invalid so there's still a lot of questions about whether or not the policy will ever take effect so there is for the moment tajik astray thanks for the update. because you're heard here on the al-jazeera news hour including russia boasts of winning the nuclear arms race while staying largely silent about a mysterious accident in the arctic also the family of a jailed saudi women's rights activist say she's been offered a deal in return for her freedom. hundreds for domestic rivals liverpool and chelsea. in wednesday's european super cup final in istanbul. where india 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
5:19 am
revoke special rights millions of kashmiris have been forced to stay indoors for 9 straight day without working phones television or even the internet hundreds of people defied the security lockdown 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 balad however the associated press is reporting a strict lockdown for the 9th day in a row and that some residents in some areas are running out of essential supplies most the biggest news media outlets have been 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 are selves have notice that phone and internet restrictions remain in place here on monday the largest city in india mr mir so the tightest
5:20 am
restrictions since the beginning of the lockdown when india stripped the region of its autonomy and on tuesday india's supreme court has said that we. 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. of us motional couple cock is a retired officer he now works on initiatives to build peace in kashmir he says india will have to be carefully or carefully ease the lock down if it's to avoid violence. between the manner in which locking down will be east and the nature of violence we may see is an extremely critical one because need the government nor the people of india for that matter the international system. and our very very large.
5:21 am
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 ahead of the mediation is the most unlikely or the latest initiative from both sides to each other also busy i believe as a security analyst and someone being looking at india pakistan very broadly that it is a compulsion for the 2 countries to go to each other but i'm afraid it's going to be a big setback to that process possible dialogue between the 2 countries. scientists say they're a step closer to curing the a bowl of oil after a successful clinical trial in the democratic republic of congo where the latest
5:22 am
outbreak has killed 1800 people so hurt has. the 2nd largest a bowler outbreak in the world has killed nearly 2000 people in the democratic republic of congo in just a year now 2 out of 4 new abode vaccinations being tested are proving so effective they're being given to all patients in d.r. c on tuesday 2 people were given the all clear and released from a treatment center in goma officials with the world health organization which has been coordinating the trials hopes this will stem the spread of the disease but the timing of the treatment is vital those who received treatment early so within the 1st 3 days. the mortality rate with a good general on. may be was around 10 percent comparison to those patients who got treatment late maternity rate for those due to drugs are 60 or respectively 66 percent so sure should the friends whether you receive treatment
5:23 am
in the 1st 3 days or late the vaccinations work by attacking the bone a virus with antibodies and neutralizing its impact on human cells they were developed using cells harvested from ebola survivors ebola has killed at least 13000 people since 2013 designed to say they're getting close to turning it into what they call a preventable and treatable disease and while it's difficult to eradicate completely with this medical breakthrough at least doctors hope to put an end to outbreaks that pose a major international health threat that al jazeera russia that's winning a nuclear arms race despite a mysterious rocket testing accident which caused a spike in radiation levels it happened on thursday at the arctic they've all bases . in several vins can all feast of st petersburg at least 5 people were killed radiation levels jumped to 16 times the normal level but no rational explanation
5:24 am
has been given for this the facility is used to test ballistic missiles used by nuclear submarines so bassem 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 sanford thinskinned 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
5:25 am
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 disposition 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 ready ation 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 of put in the both about last year saying that this could reach every corner of the
5:26 am
planet because it is nuclear powered. president will trump persuaded only incident azzam and fisher explains 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 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
5:27 am
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 ation 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 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 still ahead here on the al-jazeera news a big jump in measles cases prompts
5:28 am
a warning from the world health organization about misinformation and we look at her chilling itself caught in the crossfire. the u.s. china trade war. the when the when the best paragliding pilots take off in north macedonia for the world championships. how i welcome to another look at the international forecasts draw analyse 7 across a good part central and southern china we have got a few showers just around the far south of the country but you can see as we go on into wednesday a lot of dry weather lot of fine weather 30 to 33 celsius coming in chances somewhat to weather just not going in as we go on into were thursday so hong kong

book about you're watching over there is news hour with me so probably a reminder of our top stories. portals already says it secured an injunction to stop protesters from disrupting operations that follows a 2nd day of clashes between police and demonstrators and mess cancellations flights have now resumed 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 hold ptolemy and revoke special rights and so. 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 there's
5:32 am
good news on the a bowler 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 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 d.r. see ukraine and madagascar which has launched an emergency vaccination campaign of its own the us has registered at 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 almost certainly be a lack of access to the health care system that would allow you to vaccinate the
5:33 am
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 mention correctly over 1180 cases in 30 states in 2019 which is the most we've had in 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 and sort of libertarianism taken to its extreme so
5:34 am
it depends on where you are in the world but the bottom line is yeah there's more cases that's the problem the residents of baghdad want compensation for a large explosion at a military site on monday damaged homes the iraqi government has so far refused to say what calls the blast of the weapons to which left one person natasha can impossible from the capital. the explosion shook buildings far away and created a column of smoke that spread across the baghdad sky early monday evening at least one person was killed and dozens injured most of them civilians iraqi security forces say there was an explosion at a weapons depot inside this military base shared with a paramilitary group iranian backed and other armed groups have been operating in iraq with the full support of the country since 2014 when they joined the fight
