6:01 pm
pakistan has probably done too little too late and the prime minister coming here on pakistan's independence day making sure that this is seen as a day of solidarity with this really sending politicians who have been elected by kashmiris in the pakistani side that he will be the ambassador to raise the voice of kashmir all across the globe he says that microphone is going to be taking the case of caution you need to all over the world and you heard him that he needs the background of why is it that he's here he reminded them of the struggle which was the basis for the creation of pakistan he'd told them about how muslims and hindus were 2 separate nations and that was the reason for the creation of pakistan reminding them that they are in the true ideology off and they're ruling b.g.p. party in india is a reminder of why pakistan was created so again it is a passionate appeal to these people telling them that pakistan stands with them
6:02 pm
just a few hours ago we heard pakistan's foreign minister as well as calling on the united nations security council to convene an emergency session so that pakistan can raise its concerns about what it calls grave human rights violations which are being carried out in a part of me which is disputed and india has effectively an exception and that presumably the action taken by prime minister cards will be every popular in pakistan administered kashmir if not the entire country. yes he is he is playing the tunes of which what people would like to hear right now the people on the ground had been saying that it is taken the prime minister for this long to appear so obviously he has to pay has to addressed the concerns of the population not just in kashmir but all across pakistan as well it is going to be action. involved in words which will convince people because pakistan says that it is doing all it can and prime minister did remind people on the floor of the
6:03 pm
national assembly thing that war is not an option pakistan does not want to go to war and all he wants to do is find out a diplomatic way out where the world realizes that what is happening in kashmir is a grave blunder by india to some a binge of a live in the south about thank you very much indeed now let's get to the pakistan capital and. talk to our correspondent there. kemal i'm just wondering then how pakistan's independence day in fees with this particular grievance if you like with regard to kashmir how it's being played out in the capital. well just to give you an idea these. festivities that happen every for the past 7 to do here we've witnessed. this time there are maybe flags flying alongside the
6:04 pm
pakistani flag and that of course is a show of solidarity for their kashmiri people especially at a time like this when over 20000000 of their population is under lockdown there'd be rallies across pakistan in all major cities and there also we saw that the shrader flags alongside the pakistani now we are toward that later in the evening a large crowd will be congregating at this venue of course under tight security the progress on ruling party that in the progress on that you can solve leadership will be addressing a large rally so they will be of course rhetoric. because this is also an opportunity for a white day by the tensions between india and pakistan all right thank you live in the pakistani capital islamabad. well now we can speak to amanda
6:05 pm
afridi who's head of international relations at the international islamic university and he's joining us live from push ourselves also of course in pakistan thank you for talking to us so it seems very clear that imran khan is under quite a lot of pressure internally domestically to at strongly on this issue of kashmir do you think that this diplomatic initiative that he is now committed to will satisfy the local pressures. way yes box on his take on the diplomatic way of communication to reach to the world n.p.t. world powers and yes it was baucus on who also contacted the human are sort of denies ation be a mess amnesty international and also the regional powers and you not just chose to play the are all and so the box on spot of modern era present debt deal with the united nations general assembly dr money holiday is also talk with the united
6:06 pm
nations off we should be guarding the crush me to shore so the pakistan government is sent. to the $189.00 speakers of the national assembly across the board and now box on has also knocked the door of united nations security council so it is the united nation she good to go and who issued the. guardian kashmir issue and that is the longstanding and really old aka staunch conflict must be resolved according to. these allusions and what kashmiri people if they are thinking about the future sword. has already successfully. implemented reoffend unification diplomatically across the world to have a strange that you want let me interject that they suggest how confident are you that going to the united nations security council is going to yield anything as far
6:07 pm
as pakistan's concerned there are already 11 security council resolutions which have pretty much mean unheeded haven't they. likely to get the intervention the substantial intervention by any of the countries many of whom view this as a bilateral a sea between pakistan and india. yes look at his the longstanding demand of the pakistan did it should be done and because media future must be. resolved according to the united nations security council resolutions but they are on according to december agreement between india and pakistan so all the issues are treated frame gatty you've already got me but you want to kashmir issue is also and were included there that all issues between and yet box on a must it is ordered by literally but not this of the abrogation of the specialist by end of the 3 say a word again 335
6:08 pm
a. walkout by indian boredom and now it is you one questioned the legitimacy of the good men between and yet so it all pox on again i hope it bode the united nation. of course i'm fortunate to work in the pasta parts now it is high time for intervention national community to look to the situation what is going beyond that to really parents and that in one econd escalated it can be escalated into a full fledged commission or water between the 2 nuclear armed forces what we have seen and if it were obvious yet occlusion between and yet baucus on. his on can hook but i think there to major all can be played by the you're not just errors as do try to a vote of the magician of the. show if the united states want and really box our diplomacy believe ok so let's see that's an interest in this said mr
6:09 pm
afridi that's an interesting point of course because the the indians have already rejected out of hand at any form of mediation coming from the united states and in fact that they see this is an internal a.c.l. and do not want to internationalize it do they so where do you think on the un security council in particular from the permanent 5 pakistan he's going to get support on this is he. well bucks on can get is specially if a box on his to concentrate on the u.k. and france in the you not just yours but china is the all weather friend of fox on any one box on is going really closer towards russia and do you act as tourists can be going to. in this regard but the real problem there. we have to make a lot be pakistan has to do a lot. diplomatically and the u.k. and also in france to get the early pool to get the our consent and sympathy in the
6:10 pm
united nations you could write afridi thank you very much in david taking the time to talk to us on pakistan's independence day which has been designated a day of solidarity with kashmir by the prime minister there you see him in rank on this he's addressing the legislative assembly in the suffer about the capital of pakistan administered kashmir. right let's go to hong kong now where china has condemned protests at hong kong's airport says near terrorist acts they those were the that was used after 2 men from the mainland were beaten by demonstrations hong kong's airport authority says it now has secured an injunction to stop protesters from disrupting operations again planes are flying after thousands of demonstrated flooded the terminal buildings causing mass
6:11 pm
cancellations there were violent confrontations on tuesday when riot police moved in and batons and pepper spray were used well police in hong kong deny using excessive force. the home police have always facilitate peaceful and orderly protests over the years but the extremely radical and violent acts have certainly crossed the line and ought to be most severely condemn the police. to all citizens in hong kong that we would take steps to bring to justice thank you but just one is perhaps the most recognizable face of the pro-democracy protests is and he says the only way to end the protests currently is for the territories government to listen to their demands. no one would love to clash no one would love to see fountains no one would love people to be injured and that's why we know that
6:12 pm
the only way out is hong kong government was respond to people's demand instead of hiding behind of those riot police thousands activists gather at airport and they are planning to have have 1000000 people join the protests on sunday too demanding for you crystal clear requests the 1st is terminate and work toward extradition b.-o. the 2nd one is to stop release brutality and finally the only way out is to have free election hong kong people need to elect our own government write the words of just one abdul hamid is our correspondent now his live at home call international airport as of the effort of thought is how to manage to get themselves an injunction preventing or at least restricting quite dramatically the number of people who can actually come in to the airport terminals how's that working. well it is working out it was actually quite difficult for us to reach this point
6:13 pm
where india arrival hole so it is a partial injunction by which the protesters who are already in are allowed to stay in the terminal but in a restricted area which is this area just behind me but anyone coming in is so far being prevented many of the doors of the gates of the airport whether india arrival hall or the departure of all up stairs have been shut down departing passengers have to show their ticket before being allowed in to do terminal airport authorities had say they had to do that after those scuffles that broke out late last night but i have to say i was here late last night there was absolutely no one in the airport apart from a lot of journalists and a few protesters said this is a completely different scene it is the scene of an airport going back to normality all right honeyed talking just live from the port in hong kong thank you very much indeed well now we can speak to emily lau who's
6:14 pm
a former democratic party chairwoman in hong kong's legislative council she's joining us now from hong kong thank you for talking to us. how far do you think the whole protest movement has now shifted the language coming from beijing is talking of there being near terrorist acts it sounds as though things are escalating quite rapidly. well of course nobody wanted to see chaos at the airport last night and i think many hong kong people found that and acceptable and as you have heard some of the protesters have apologized and they said it will not happen again and we hope that is the case and but of course you know when you know terrorists act and i think some foreign governments have spoken out and so what we need now is for the chinese government and the government of very last time to listen to diggy monza the hong kong people right and what we would like to see
6:15 pm
is the setting up of an independent commission of inquiry right now that does not say that it is 11 weeks ok or that doesn't seem to be happening does it at the moment the authorities seem to be. completely resolute on the matter and i'm just wondering how far do you support what is clearly becoming a regular pattern of of sometimes aggressive behavior if you like by the protest movement that is the throwing of molotov cocktails for instance a bricks and stones and other sorts of graffiti and other sorts of destructive behavior how far a you supportive of that. well i do not i've been in politics for 30 years i support peaceful and nonviolent protests but of course i can understand why some young people feel so educated because there's no response from kerry lamb and i would call on them to remain who stayed
6:16 pm
peaceful and nonviolent protest and if we had massive people like 1w2w i think that is that's a very strong message and i don't think people support pundits right the vast majority of the protests is do seem to be very young i mean perhaps undergraduate age how far. are you and other veterans of the pro-democracy movement in hong kong losing touch with the movement that is now carrying on into its 10th week i don't think we've lost touch with the movement we are part of a movement and there are those who will be solo acts and there are those who support using more force but i think we all must recognise there's a limit to what the hog people and many international community with support if we lose their support we the battle is lost so we must make sure that we get the
6:17 pm
support of the people and the international community and i think these young people they are intelligent they should be able to recognise it but this kind of continued disruption and chaotic scenes in hong kong i mean do you not see that perhaps they'll be viewed obviously as being provocative by beijing and in many ways perhaps even backing the beijing will surratt is into a corner where they have no other option but to act and to be at by sending in troops. well we certainly don't want beijing to send in troops because if they did that would be end of hong kong one tree one country 2 systems so as i said i think the protesters they are also intelligent people if they think they've crossed the line and losing support i think they will think that a cavalier again emily lau thank you very much indeed for talking to us live from hong kong. thank you. right in just

planes are flying again after demonstrators flooded terminal buildings for a 2nd day causing mass cancellations. the iranian president is criticizing the united states for its military buildup in the gulf has that rouhani says foreign forces aren't needed because gulf states can protect the region american and british warships and started joint naval patrols to protect shipping after a rainy of forces seized a british flag. last month. all talks about establishing a new coalition in the persian gulf and sea of oman going to be practical no doubt that it won't help the security of the region there is no need for the presence of foreign forces to provide security. more now from our correspondent in tehran. well it's the 1st time president rouhani has addressed reports that israel may be
6:23 pm
participating in this u.s. led naval coalition in the region which the united states says is to guarantee freedom of navigation in the gulf now president rouhani said that the idea is a little bit taking part because of the security is absurd and that if israel was able to provide security it should do so in its own region you also said that wherever israel has a presence it causes insecurity terrorism and massacre but he also said that iran is willing to establish relations with neighboring countries and says that the u.s. goal in the region was assad's discord and newt money he said that coastal countries are free capable of providing security and stability in the region there's no need for foreign troops now the context for this is that the united states unilaterally pulled that 2015 nuclear deal last year and impose sanctions on iran and in the last few months there have been an increase of tensions with strong shutdown tankers mysteriously attacked the united states and its gulf allies blaming iran of course iran has denied that but also iran seized a british tanker after united kingdom seized during tanker and gibraltar now this
