that 41 years ago being shopping gena to launch his economic reforms it was also his idea for the one country 2 systems approach that's being heavily tested just across the border in hong kong the economic impact from the hong kong protest now in their 11 week is being felt in chin gen as with elsewhere in mainland china its stock market had seen negative numbers since the protests moved to the hong kong international airport but there was one standout she in general port shares soared it's the closest major airport to hong kong and during the closures this week some flights were diverted there to continue turmoil in hong kong could make more attractive to airlines and passengers the airport just received approval to expand allowing it to nearly double its yearly passenger numbers to 80000000. so while the view from journey into hong kong remains the same the impact from what's happening across the border is be keenly felt by the people here scotland al-jazeera.

will see standing is the director of the so asked china institute and joins me live via skype from bunny. thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us on the news hour as we were hearing the warnings from the chinese government have grown louder in the past week hour wiring is the use of this sort of language. i think we should take the warning from the chinese government very seriously you warnings that were being makes are intended to intimidate the protesters in hong kong with the huge true get them to go home but i think it is also a decoration and intend which is going to the chinese government is ultimately prepare the poor security forces from the mainland of china to hong kong necessary . so how close do you think we might be to that because of course that would be a significant turning point and it is the prospect that everyone fares how close

are we to that sort of direct intervention from beijing. were an important landmark to be the 1st of october $29000.00 which would be the 17th and illusory of defunding or to people's republic of china xi jinping is determined to have a fantastic birthday party to celebrate this and he will not be pleased you've got celebration and will be disrupted and by the protests in hong kong and he is himself internationally embellished at that point i think we get into a very dangerous to point we get to a dangerous point but that doesn't necessarily mean that we will see troops deployed because there is so much international attention focused on developments in the territory right now the chinese government must also understand that it wouldn't be in their interests to take those sort of measures well you're

absolutely right they would prefer not to do. a deployment or. police or ready soldiers into hong kong from the mainland but eve as they already say they are seeing hong kong as a color revolutions and for the chinese communist party a kind of revolution is the find a spot of a global conspiracy for peaceful evolution that ultimately aim at rich change in china and the choice is very clear is the party staying in power in china 1st international condemnation and is of secondary importance how can the stalemate be broken because at this point the territories leader and the government in beijing are unwilling to make any concessions and the protesters are not willing to back down either. again you're absolutely right in at the

moment things are really looking very dangerous and. worrying both size and trenching depositions both sides can easily make a couple munched the demonstrators for example can simply declare that they have achieved nothing of their objectives and they will now end the phrase of the movement and moved by end of the day. to the chinese government or hong kong government equally can easily be clear that they withdrew all the abuse and set up a just inquiry to study what happened in hong kong and then today have a report from the commission of inquiry they will not prosecute anybody on either side that would to

a lot of that we all just say was ok demonstrations and most will go home and it will not even need to be embarrassing. because she can come out and say that she is the person who is instructing hong kong government to do so but the chance of either the demonstrators or beijing or the hong kong government doing so is at the moment very slim thank you for your thoughts on this story professor steve zahn joining us there from. much more still ahead on the news hour from london we're looking at the venezuelan city that's become a symbol of the country's economic collapse 6 years on from egypt's rubber square killings human rights groups once again call for justice. and then in sport heavyweight boxing champion and the routes junior says his title rematch with azmi joshua won't be held in saudi arabia.

iran's president has criticized the united states for its military buildup in the gulf hassan rouhani says foreign forces are not needed because gulf states can protect the region themselves and their kind of british warships have started joint maritime patrol to protect shipping in this for teaching straight armors after iranian forces seized a british flag oil tanker last month. all talks about establishing a new coalition in the persian gulf and sea of all mongolian 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 in. said bay has more now from taiwan. but it's the 1st time president rouhani has addressed reports that israel may be 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 the 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 said that the u.s. goal in the region was to sow discord and newt 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 you need that to report 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 gulf allies then the iran of course iran has denied that but also iran seized a british tank after the united kingdom seized it raining tank in 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 a 2015 nuclear 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. europe's largest economy could be heading for recession growth in germany went into reverse over the last 3 months economy will officially be in recession if there is another contraction this quarter a slump in exports and foreign car sales a taking their toll but also the prospect of a no deal breaks as well as the u.s. china trade war factors in this chancellor angela merkel is under pressure to increase government spending but she says there's no need for a stimulus package at least for now or vicky pryce is the chief economic advisor at the center for economics and business research and joins us live now via athens good to speak to you vicki are germany's economic difficulties mainly homegrown or is it about developments abroad i think the main problem is the trade war has been going on particularly between the us and china and the slowdown in the challenge

economy generally depends huge exports for his growth and unfortunately the rest of europe depends on germany doing well was it absolutely motive for growth sort of germany can't export china has not been able to export as many cars it did before and a lot of the 16 suffered as a result then the rest of europe also got a sequel so it's a real real world right so demand is slowing in places like china for german exports if germany does indeed see an outright recession what does that mean for the rest of europe. no one has to worry quite a lot about what the implications are but for the yeah the country is admitting that sometimes it's doing still reasonably well such as spain for example some of the well or as well as our island but the cost of the wrecks it is affecting a number of them when you think it is of course when you look at what's happening on the monitor in front of you yes and it's already talking of expanding its own monetary or oceans so that it can stabilize the economy should start getting really

worried about what's going on in europe you see already installation being quote below the target level of the bank is setting and the yield curve in many countries is sort of beneath becoming in other words longer term yachts and lower now than short term yields in some cases the negative of course logged in lots of negative for a while all those are indications of recession and foresee so you can't just say we don't need to do anything lucky and g m o that seems to be saying the europeans of the bank is calling for more the stuff expansion all across europe but it is ready to do a lot more itself to make sure that it balances forces there are in a way that did not lead to another recession. but we know that germany has long been extremely conservative about spending and very cautious. or indeed opposed to any sort of simulates package is anglo-american likely to change have possession. i

think the chance remain as they are going to have to do something about if something is if you look at what's been going on in germany it hasn't been spending anything much on infrastructure really has been too conservative in his problem since and of course if you look at the way in which europe operates the you are ents that are excessive deficit procedures that are countries that have 2 highly deficits that are equally prestigious that are obvious never been used that never i don't think against countries that have higher surplus and the bush has the fall germany did something more in terms of stimulating its own domestic market and therefore imports from other countries so as to balance out again this we will need a bit of balancing growth in such a way that the rest of europe can also use reasonably well and has so far. only it's been germany which is benefit of from the euro here and not the rest many of the other fronts in europe have actually suffered from what about these tariffs on

car imports which us president donald trump has threatened to impose if that goes ahead later this year could we see a shift in economic policy in germany. well there is a real worry about what the u.s. might do anything there is look what's going on between the u.s. and china right now in a supposed to have extra terrorists imposed on an extra 300000000 worth of exports from china to the u.s. those have now been. because there is huge pressure from industry in the u.s. to be more careful about this because of course it was in he seeing its costs and so there are saying that we can be very on top to believe this turns on and of course given that there is such pressure what we're seeing right now is that. given that in that present time was already backtracked you might backtrack again that actually although it's good news. leaves

a lot of uncertainty around so producers don't really know whether the future is going to be an easy one for them as it was before when they're going to have extra costs that they're going to have to bear so it doesn't help in terms of my own best mom sued best most no doubt the cross the world to see business confidence come to we've come to us so it does suggest to me but unless there is some clear resolution in this debate and president john sort of backs down really seriously or begins to question no growth in the world economy that will affect your city thank you very much vicky pryce chief economic adviser at the center for economics and business are such argentina's leaders spoken to his presidential rival and says he's expressed willingness to keep markets calm in case of an eventual handover of power earlier president and out salary increases and tax cuts days after his shock defeat in the polls triggered economic turmoil that we polled 15 points less than center left candidates help our turf and and as in sunday's primary a vote is seen as

a litmus test for the general election in october. well the venezuelan city of mark come by as was once the capital of the country's oil industry but it has now become a symbol of venezuela's economic collapse with little access to fuel food or electricity residents say they've been forgotten by the government which has been locked in a power struggle with the opposition since january trey's a bow has more now from mark. and tricity has become my luxury for most people in northwestern venezuela a luxury this people do not have they say they only have 4 hours of electricity a day. right here with them called store died 4 months ago in the middle of a power cut i mean when i say a my daughter died of a heart attack because of the hate because of all the problems we're facing the government is not doing anything to help us and we have no water or electricity but i will was once venezuela's oil hub but now it's people like in many venezuela are

struggling in the middle of an economic crisis mike i was once known as the colder city in venezuela because of the amount of her conditionings here it has one of the highest temperatures in the country and that's why people are not used to the situation there bringing the so far as a matter of faith to sleep at night. has had 2 heart attacks when a power is out her daughter says she starts to choke. up the morning she starts crying like a child because she cannot breathe all our food is going to waste it's terrible for us a few minutes later power went out experts say electricity problems are the result of lack of maintenance but it's not just electricity the queues to get petrol in this country which sits on the world's largest oil reserves can go on for miles gasoline is almost free minutes we know but

a black market exists for those who don't want to queue up this man who does not want his name revealed says it is the only way he has to make a living leopards one of the more you do all of this living off gasoline we get it from government officials who also need to make some extra money because the salaries we have we cannot survive on ac anyway we can buy food my salary buys me only 2 kilos of mate these every day kale. only adds up to the political tension between the government. and the opposition led by one. and there are warnings that any increase in u.s. sanctions could cause the situation to deteriorate even more no. i don't think we're going to see political or economic change any time soon the conflict will increase with radicalization by the government and the opposition justifying economic or financial sanctions that are trying to break the government but will deteriorate every day life and for these people every day life is already very hard because i mean that we're going to have you know about i'm selling these bones

because it's the only thing that many could buy bones so they can put in a soup and get some protein. lack of food water and electricity and doing have people here are tired and angry and they feel that the government has stopped listening to their piece that is how will i just see that magic i will. also add for you on the program the ruins of an ancient capital in turkey is set to open to the public in a bid to boost the country's terrorism. amanda gallacher in iowa where a trade war with china is having a very real effect on farmers who will be asking if i broke culture still supports the president. sure i can spend a shining against new zealand pito out the details of that sport.

a counter protest to show support for the ousted leader since then hundreds of demonstrators including leaders of morsi is now out of muslim brotherhood have been convicted of mass trials dozens have been sentenced to death to date not a single government official has been held accountable for the killings and the egyptian government has yet to transparently investigate the mud as well you hear hamad was the minister of investment in more cities government he joins us of a skype now so how would you describe the impact and the legacy of the massacre. up to 6 years. and see the that but there's a i smell the smoke i saw my friends and it's so evil that i'm very close to me getting shot by snipers getting shot. we're all army which we be all worse used in that that sort of thing that they are

protectors of the people so after 60 years this was the start and the moment egypt's lost a lot of of the sense of humanity in their actions thousands of evil of the law. got killed this well with that in sinai and other parts of egypt's. tens of thousands more than 60000 as you know are in detentions and solitary confinement. i just wanted to ask you about that do you have contact with the families of the friends of those who have been imprisoned do you what can you tell us about the conditions they have to endure in prison. it's a hard look at connections let's meet let me tell you so more than 800 people have died due to missing medical treatments and getting proper medication including the 1st and only elected president of egypt the former relates to mohamed morsi

weeks ago. you're talking about people from all the fruit political colors people who used to be oppositions of the moment morsi of the freedom and justice party people who are seculars and that's just people even from the army like so many used to be the army chief and no one knows about them so no one we have hundreds of people that have not met their families for years now. who have even till today can you imagine that there are people that that we don't know where are that have how we lost them no one not so anyone in egypt now under the rule of abbotsford that sisi the general sisi can be arrested can be a few days ago they liquidate a cynic that's been seen people under. you know like saying that they have been a part of get out of the situation that you describe would misspeaking about at

least 900 people having been killed in a violent dispersal of the said tens well there ever be justice or accountability for what happened. i believe justice will come and history teaches us that this is not the end of of of the revolution the anti that you shouldn't be came back that if use the flea very ruthless leap and they even caught cats that what happened the robber and mother disperse alive because they want to penalize that evolution they wanted to see that people and inject seed in them but do today if you saw the social media people are speaking very emotionally very sincerely about our people from opposition to justice will come and i believe it will come from within egypt's personally i don't have much conviction and trust now on the international system i definitely hailed what happened for what's going on from the n.t. also from that from the media talking about what powers the western powers what the

are in the states in your will they have to learn through all what's happening in the region and you know we will all. say that it's not the end of the revolution but is it a parliament in egypt considering changes that would effectively extend the presidency sees time in power and enhances control over the judiciary isn't it a case that is only becoming more powerful exactly this is what happened in 2010 few weeks few weeks only before the movement of hosni mubarak was the more work and religion thought at the very thoughtful that the internet inherently jean-paul government will work the sun and all of a sudden the people the normal me and the other people in the streets have another saying yes this is very bad and lack the age in the history of egypt but this is not the end of it so answering the question i just this will come our evolution if i would choose one word about it it was just this was seeking economical just the

social justice justice for egypt not to give its landstuhl of the countries or to give the national security into its enemies for example so yes definitely. after 6 years we are very sorry who were lost that we are having and you know very slowly we were army and these reach into the billions but we know that the egyptians will it be under control or will achieve that dream up democracy a little thank you very much appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us you're here hunted. russia says it has flown to nuclear capable bombers to the 2 a far eastern russian region located opposite alaska as part of a training exercise according to the defense ministry the t 160 bombers flew over 6000 kilometers from their home base in western russia to an idea in the region government newspaper said the flight showed moscow's ability to base a nuclear bomb is within 20 minutes flight time from the united states what remains

the site straddles the modern border 40 percent of it lies on excavated in syria a turkish military base now sits on top of the ancient acropolis it's still the designated active military zone but from next year it will be an open air museum the regional authorities are confident the area is now safe a few years ago this area across the border in syria used to be ice or country the black flag flying high for all to see this part of southeastern turkey is the cradle of civilization it's believed that car commercial is one of the places where agriculture 1st appeared but as you can imagine since the start of the syrian war the number of foreign tourists that venture here has dropped completely will the opening of this site encourage people back. yet this is no ordinary archaeological site it's one a can change the entire history of the world and even they too late he tied here on

american rural heartland where agriculture and food production dominate the economy so you have been exported to china for decades but the trade war is changing over in july china placed a 25 percent tariff on the crop and stocks piled up prices dropped and i was farmers have been caught in the cross-hairs you know corn and soybeans there are 2 major crops that we grow april has just returned from china as part of a soybean growers delegation like many farmers in iowa she's been hit hard we knew someone had been there were china something had to be done you know we don't like how it's going down because at the end of the day agriculture usually always takes it growers woes of being hampered by an unusually wet spring and as china deals with an outbreak of african swine fever the need for feed to make using soybeans has dropped several farmers have told us they feel trapped in the perfect storm there's reduced demand from china poor weather is led to

a bad growing season and now there's a trade war with no end in sight there anyway farmers in iowa are keeping their heads above water is through government subsidies and many say their own fairly distributed and simply not enough economist to say that federal aid is only a short term solution so the longer this trade war goes on the tougher things get now let's go on what do you do professor chad hart says aid is needed but a long term trade strategy would be better government support is coming here is a nice injection if you will of care sure in a time that farmers are looking to pay. some bills but at same time too it doesn't address the long term issues of not having stable trade relationships farmers in our adjusting by finding new markets and planting alternative crops china is making similar moves importing from other nations there is a fear here though that the trade relationship between the us and china may never be the same again you guys have filters like many in

a state the president won comfortably in 2016 brian samson is generally in favor of trump's approach on trade with china as the months passed though his confidence is wavering politicians in general love to use a problem to your vote so i like him trying to solve problems check the boxes move on i hope that's what happens now but i'm not sure. the president of the american farm bureau federation described the trade war as a body blow to thousands of farmers trade not aid is a familiar refrain here but without a resolution the u.s. is farming states may be facing a different landscape ahead and a gallacher al-jazeera ames iowa. teenage climate activist had turned back has set sail on a voyage across the atlantic ocean taking a message on global warming to the united nations in new york a 16 year old is making the crossing on missions yachts accompanied by her father
