because they're not allowed to congregate there were some district ease of description that we saw during that with the rest of the people who were allowed but no protests were allowed and as you said there have been some people who tried to congregate and the police came down hard on them so it is a very difficult situation because people on this side of the mind of say that well 1000000 of their family members relatives and people who they have ties to are being held hostage by the indian government be spoke to a father whose daughters went for summer holiday and he says he doesn't even know they're alive if he's not been able to get in touch and it is a difficult situation from what we're hearing on the other side we are running out of food rations people especially those would be urgent medical assistance i have been have been of this lockdown and i've been able to come out these restrictions are somewhat intermittent once it was in this day and people cannot live without and they are still being brought in indian administered. some avenge of

a life thank you china's condemned protests at hong kong's airport as near terrorist acts after 2 men from the mainland were beaten by demonstrators on kong's airport authority says it's now security an injunction to stop protesters from disrupting operations planes are flying again after thousands of demonstrators flooded terminal buildings causing mass cancellations there were violent confrontations on tuesday when riot police moved in with the taunts and at 1st for . police in hong kong tonight using excessive force. the home police have always facilitate peaceful and orderly protests over the years but the extremely radical and fallen have sons in the eye and not to the most severely condemn. the police. to all citizens in hong kong that we would take steps to bring to justice thank you. josh along as an opposition politician for the mrs stowe

a group pushing for greater democracy in hong kong he says dialogue is the way forward no one would love to see a clash no one would love to see fountains there one would love people to be injured and that's why we know that the only way out is hong kong government must 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 protest on sunday too demanding for you crystal clear requests the 1st is terminate and withdraw the extradition bill 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 and adela may has more from hong kong international airport. airport authorities have put new measures in place after

being granted a partial injunction now many of the gates to determine all have been shut down they're trying to streamline those coming in and only passengers with a valid ticket are allowed. are still some protestors they're allowed to stay in this designated area but security. is preventing anyone from joining. this also so this is also affecting for example a friends of families who are coming here to pick up arriving travelers well there are the door and some of them are not very happy about it now airport authorities say they had they were obliged to resort to this simply because the destruction over the past few days have already cost about $76000000.00 and they want to prevent disruption emily lau is the former democratic party chairwoman in hong kong's legislative council she says the protesters are intelligent and they will think carefully about their next move. no but they want to see the chaos at the

airport last night and i think many hong kong people found that and acceptable and it's 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 but of course it's nowhere near a terrorist act and not i think some point governments have spoken out and said what we need now is for the chinese government and the government of kerry who listen the demands of the hong kong people and what we would like to see is the setting up of an independent commission of inquiry to look at this 11 weeks of chaos i've been in politics for 30 years i support peaceful and nonviolent protests and not but of course i can understand why some young people you know so educate because there's no response from kerry latin and out but i

would call on them to remain who states peaceful and nonviolent protest and if we have massive people like 1w2w i think that is that's a very strong message and i don't think people see what pilots but i think we all must recognize there's a limit to what the hong kong people and many international student community with support if we lose their support we the battle is lost on the president as criticizing the united states for its military buildup in the gulf a summer honey says foreign forces are needed because gulf states can protect the region american and british warships started joint naval patrols to protect shipping after iranian forces seized a pretty flagged oil tanker last month. all talks about establishing a new coalition in the persian gulf and sea of oman won't 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 as a bank has more from tehran. well that's the 1st time president rouhani has addressed reports that israel may be participating in this u.s. led 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 that is 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 he 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 discord and money he said that coastal countries are fully 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 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 drones shut down tankers mysteriously attacked the united states and its allies then the iran of course iran has denied that but also iran seized a british flag after united kingdom seized. gibraltar now this coalition only has 2 countries in the united kingdom and the united states and that's because european countries are still trying to salvage the 2015 deal and they feel that any presence of troops in the region would jeopardize that do in fact germany has refused to join it join this coalition because they say everything should be done to avoid escalation still ahead on al-jazeera scientists a poll that may be curable after a drugs break through any democratic republic of congo. among the galaxy in iowa where a trade war with china is having a very real effect on samas will be asking if i'm still supports the president.

a number of side women who have sort of 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 the changes have had no significant impact and even what we're seeing now is that the guardianship rules all supposed to be relaxed all removed within 3 months is that going to have any impact on women's lives inside review 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 new details have emerged about the latest fighting in yemen which saw southern separatists take control of the port city of aden military sources have told al-jazeera reinforcements from the united arab emirates were seen
