soon we are almost looking into the abyss there are large sections of the hong kong population who don't believe a word she says but when she says that i think it's true to say that anyone here in hong kong of whatever political persuasion could all those agree with her on that that yes the situation is very grave but everyone here also knows and china knows better than anybody else that sending in paramilitary forces or the p.l.o. the people's liberation army is a huge step that carries with it a huge political risk it could undermine confidence in the government of the city it could backfire very badly in terms of negative international reaction for china's standing it could also it could also backfire it as much as it could instead of causing riots cores are not pricing you could turn a crisis into a calamity it has to be said that we are not quite there yet yes the airport was closed 2 days ago today it's open yes police do use more violence sadly more

people's protesters are being maimed more officers are being hurt but at the end of these running battles at night it is midnight comes along as a lot of protesters drift away to catch the last subway train home it is the police who still have control of the streets and china knows that and china would deem that to be the better option even if the police if things do get more violent at least it's at the hands of hong kong's police and not its soldiers martin all right rob thank you for that drop macbride live in hong kong. there's a lot more to come on this al jazeera news hour including dramatic pictures of a russian airliner forced to crash land in a field after striking a flock of birds. why a trade history between seoul and tokyo has roots in both the past and much more recent times. in school the bad boy of tennis lives up to his name of the cincinnati masses jan will be here with all the action.

the indian prime minister narendra modi says the removal of india and minister to kashmir is autonomy will benefit the people of the region in his independence day address he said the move would ensure the ideal of one nation one constitution. of freedom fighters for hard and long for a free nation but because of article 370 and 35 day there were issues but today i can see standing here at the red fort with pride that we are one nation and one constitution. robin go live to our correspondent vala who is in the indian capital new delhi and the independence day speech the central part of it really was this removal of kashmir is autonomy which we have to remember is pretty

popular in the rest of india. well that is correct prime minister move this decision many analysts say has been taken to pander to his water base to his supporters in today's address to the nation prime minister more the essentially said that he's done what no other government no or the prime minister no other political party before him could do which is to scrap the special status for jungle and kashmir now when he said that essentially what he's done is he's brandished his image as a strong man as a strong indian prime minister however this is been seen as a jibe against the opposition congress party who while we while i say that he has an interesting fact that one of the form our indian prime minister all saw from prime minister more these party of the party had a very different policy to his was to win the hearts and minds off people and improve the relationship between the union and the state in this case and prime

minister more the state all of the leading politicians have been placed under house arrest some of them have actually come out and said that they have not been consulted the last person that we heard from was shot as all. politician before that he was a civil servant with the indian government so in many ways an ideal and for what he said before he was placed under house arrest yesterday was also not very promising he said the people of kashmir including him a very disappointed by the decision of the indian government right and yesterday of course was india was pakistan's independent family heard prime minister imran khan use it streamlines strong language to describe what's going on in india and accusing the renderer modi and the b j p of being of pursuing nazi ideology of of of of ethnic cleansing about to get underway in india administered kashmir did prime minister narendra modi respond to any of that. no

prime minister well they did not respond to it at all there's not to be any official response to the comments of prime minister iran can many of the analyst in this i can say with some certainty whether the supporter promise of all these governments or not are not taking comments of ethnic cleansing seriously year in india however in some of the t.v. studios here the local media is sort of for some of the guests not all some of the guests are talking about whether india should do more when it comes to pakistan administrate kashmir however that could just be. rhetoric it could be tit for tat rhetoric that is a very controversial subject should india be doing more of them start to smear that is a much more controversial subject martín than even scrapping the special status of the valley and jovo are talking to us live in new delhi thank you. for the reminder that india is celebrating independence and freedom from british rule 72 years ago this year's events are overshadowed though by that vote in india's parliament to

revoke the autonomy of indian administered kashmir pakistan's prime minister imran khan compared india's kashmir policy to the ideology of nazi germany kashmir has been that the center of conflict ever since india impacted some of created the muslim majority territory has calls the new clear armed rivals to fight 2 wars and several skirmishes pakistan is calling on the un security council to intervene india's governor in kashmir says restrictions on movement will be eased after independence day but phone lines and the internet will remain cut off. all right let's go live now to come on heidi he's a correspondent on the pakistani side of this debate he's in the pakistani capital islamabad and. around we haven't seen it as such but the indian flag has now been raised david the capital of indian administered kashmir shouldn't that must be

terribly disheartening for many many pakistanis. obviously this was expected that they would do it dad and down there by raising a flag in a place richard on the log down because the government does not feel. about the reaction of the people to big deal however it should be ignored. is being open. because it is india's independence day. to day with the people of kashmir interesting also martin there have been 2 tweets by enron all star more d.c. speech and i was one of them he said where the wars. are not their separate. massacres in india and made war on terror the international community he said. that happened then it would have.

reaction endomorphism were said during all radicalization and of why ill and in another tweet also he said. that people are not supported by the. party. to carry out their trucks their days i need. not forget their decision i mean if. you're all right and he was liberated the butcher of drop. didn't come out high and i thank you very much indeed live from the pakistani capital islamabad. now the emperor of japan has expressed his deep remorse for what happened during the 2nd world war not he made his 1st speech to commemorate japan's defeat since his in strain meant in may the 1st japanese emperor to be born after the war pledged to reflect on the past and hopes that the devastation will never be repeated in the emperor's words came as

around 50 japanese politicians marked the anniversary by visiting a controversial war memorial the yakkers sunni shrine commemorates japan's war dead but also honors several convicted war criminals prime minister shinzo of his visit in 22 of anger japan's neighbors this year he sent a ritual offering. south korea's president says he's open for talks with japan to end their trade dispute move in made the appeal as an event marking 74 years since korea's independence from japan's colonial rule japan has restricted exports of components that are vital to south korea's tech industry president moon warns that good global trade may suffer if a country quote weaponize is a sector where it has an advantage he says he'll gladly join hands if japan wants to resolve the dispute through dialogue. on

a country that the cult 1st should not hinder the ability of a country that is currently developing to continue growing we hope that your panel play a leading role together in political to bring peace and prosperity in the east asia what contemplate the past the brought misfortune to its neighboring countries because we to robert kelly now professor of international relations hussein national university joining us from blue sand in south korea 1st of all if you wouldn't mind give us an idea of how deep rooted the sometimes animus is between south korea and japan because it sort of flares up then it dies down and flares up again. yeah carries a lot of weight on the south korean side i think a lot more than on the japanese side you know for japan japan of course is a much larger economy than south korea it's 3rd biggest economy in the world and so for japan korea is kind of a minor issue that sort of flares up once in a while but japan's really focused on north korean nuclear weapons china its alliance with united states and so the korea thing kind of comes and goes recently

of course has become sort of a big deal right but but in principle i think the japanese are trying to keep the sort of a moderate level in korea though it's actually a much bigger issue right in korea says a lot about national identity a lot of korean history is taught to build sort of lens of the colonial period there are movies made about it all the time and something that the koreans take this really seriously which is why every year on national independence day and stuff like today and other holidays you get a lot of the kind of speeches you get the sort of tough rhetoric that you got from moon right now it was a recent culturally wasn't it in south korea that revived this current round of hostilities given that japan filleted it paid its jews really and basically absolved it south of some of the some of the crimes committed during the well. yeah this is sort of tricky right because the japanese have always sort of come to these things in a kind of legal istic sort of way which creates a lot of sort of you know feeling on the korean side japanese don't really mean it that going through the motions it's kind of in bad faith right i mean this is sort of a running issue in japan i mean your previous report mentioned people going to coney

and stuff like that i mean you know yasuko any sort of carries that weight not just in korea but in japan and china and in southeast asia japanese politicians really should stop going right but these things sort of calm and go and they pop up and i think the japanese can do a little bit more to manage it better and i think the koreans carlson's are begin to deemphasize that i think really really big role but they say it doesn't doesn't the empress apology go any way to smoothing over the current friction there is specifically of the trade. somewhat yeah i mean that's sort of another debate too right i mean other koreans are going to get an apology from the japanese that will satisfy the koreans koreans actually pretty deeply split on this the korean left really takes this very seriously and wants a great deal more than a lot of korean conservatives and sort of centrist voters are more or less willing to sort of work with what's been offered and move on right but the issue of japanese colonization in korea is deeply partisan and is deeply ideological now and you have a left wing government korean the south korean left really really emphasis a lot i think in particular for domestic purposes but this is really really

important to the left wing coalition that stands behind the current president that's why he keeps coming up all right in the meantime how deeply is this affecting south korean industry south korea has been taken off the professor nation status in japan south korea threatened to do the same to japan i mean he stands to lose macy's past when i should ask that's actually the latter questions actually a tough one which one stands to sort of lose most of i had to guess i would say south korea because a sort of vulnerable on these on these issues and japan's also much larger but if this really carnage does japan's reputation as a trading state then that could sort of reverberate elsewhere i think this hasn't really been yet in south korea much on this run a lot of history and stuff but it looks like we don't know but it looks like the company the relevant companies have stockpiles of these materials for at least a couple months and the 1st shipment was actually approved by the japanese the other day right so even though korea's on the air has been de white listed the net japanese have an accident night shipments right it does give the japanese some room to sort of pressure the south koreans sort of come around but you know for still talking about this at like christmas time or something like that then it will be i

think more serious restarts and i'm the all right robert kenny thanks very much indeed thank you for having me. and if he may miss kevin will have the weather also coming up on the sound is there a new sound markets tumbled in the u.s. marking fears of a global recession that business editor will be here to help make sense of the chaos a few days almost straight. i'm wayne hay in shanghai we will tell you about the latest tech dig in the chinese government war on pollution. memories of marriage on a job we'll tell you why this young colombian making headlines. tropical storm krosa has made landfall about 3 pm local time in japan this is the

storm as it was making its way towards the southern portions of japan now it did provide a lot of rain across much of the area we have seen some heavy flooding going on as well in some locations in a 2 to 3 day period in the south we have seen over 700 millimeters of rain 23 people have been injured one person has been confirmed dead because of the storm already the rain is going to continue for the next couple of days now is going to start to slow the weekend as it makes its way to the north right now winds are 83 kilometers per hour gusting to about $101.00 still and it's moving quite quickly towards the north so could be seeing the storm move into the sea of japan very quickly but over the last 24 hours rain totals a bit about 122150 millimeters of rain enough to cause landslides mudslides and more flooding across much of that area now tomorrow the strong will be in the sea of japan we will see rain for japan also for parts of the russian coastline as well as the korean coastline and that could also cause flooding in those areas as well as we go towards saturday the storm moves over here towards hokkaido it's going to

drop down to a depression but still bring some very heavy rain across much of that area but for the rest of the region they're going to be drying out with sunny skies and that will be some good news for that little area for those areas right there. whether sponsored by cats are employees. of the frustration. when the news breaks. when people need to be heard and the story needs to be told pretty remarkable due to about a real died last week and crossing from mexico to the united states with exclusive

interviews and in-depth reports we can move according to the information that life is exceptionally al-jazeera as teams on the ground to bring in more award winning documentary and allied news. palis have a look at the top stories here on the news hour the u.s. has made a formal request to gibraltar to keep the arena and tanker grace one in detention in the seas in july by british forces in the queues of breaching sanctions in syria the supreme court in this british overseas territory was expected to release the

vessel but now the decision has been delayed. a large number of chinese security forces have gathered near the border with hong kong beijing says routine military exercises taking place it comes as protests in hong kong continue. the indian prime minister narendra modi has used independence day to say the removal of indian administered kashmir is autonomy is to the benefit of the people of the region he says his government has fulfilled a promise with the decision despite facing criticism as kashmir has been under a security lockdown for 11 days that. the dow jones has suffered its worst loss of the year and the 4th largest single day drop only record for this us market index closed $800.00 points or 3 percent lower asian markets also dipped in the wake of that news it was driven by growing fears of a possible recession in the united states investors have made

a major shift to the bond in the gold markets which is seen as safe havens during times of market instability. has more now from washington d.c. . so what had the stock market in such a panic that something called the inverted yield curve sounds complicated but it really isn't this is all about treasury bonds that's basically when you're giving the u.s. government your money and you expect to get some interest in return in a healthy economy the longer you loaned the government your money the more money you expect to make basically a higher yield what happened on wednesday is the yield for. 2 year treasury bond it actually went higher than the 10 year treasury bond and why is that a big deal well over the last 50 years it's been able to accurately predict every coming recession not it's not immediate it's usually 12 to 18 months after that yield inverts but it was enough to send stocks plummeting by $800.00 points now the president is taking to twitter he's trying to blame the chairman of the federal reserve jay powell power for his part has seemed to really resist the president's

blame and really has not done what the president wants which is he wants to see a massive reduction in the amount of interest other banks pay to each other and they can pay the banks. reckon on its editor is here with me so a bit of course the 1st question is going to be how close or is it likely that we are entering into a period leading to recession i think very very far away from any kind of recession simply because the u.s. economy is doing extremely well now there are elements which suggest that you know things are slowing down and the i.m.f. has cut its growth targets 4 times in a row already now one of those reasons is obviously the trade war which we have between the united states and china and that's having an impact and president trump has almost admitted that you know it's a mistake to be putting all these tariffs on chinese goods because he's decided to delay the introduction of those tariffs until after december of those so as not to

impede christmas shopping literally vital consumer spending period of course for the u.s. economy but there are other trade disputes i'm not necessarily connecting them but there are other trade disputes around the world a lot of that's got to be said has come has been prompted by donald trump trade policy and we've just been talking about south korea and japan for instance a bit we've got the new nafta i don't know what it's called exactly but they knew not to agreement between the united states canada and mexico so it. is it a matter of trump's erratic trade policy that is leading to this turmoil in the markets self-inflicted pain this is because basically any way you look at it you know it's unnecessary to be opening up these wounds but if there is a discrepancy in trade agreements then there's a way in the mechanism of hutchie achieving a goal of resolving those but what trump has been doing he's been going out there and he's been slamming on these on these tariffs or threatening tariffs and this is

having an impact on germany having an impact on latin american economies as well so you know there's there's there's a lot to be said for this but we need to take a realistic look at what's happening around the world as well you know we've had the longest. expansion in the u.s. economy for some time the employment numbers are doing really really well be spending consumer spending is doing extremely well as well currently and there's really no reason why we should see a recession there are people who watch the markets who. take it take it to the temperature of the markets i expect in the 30 percent chance of a recession so we are a long way away from that but we will see a global slowdown that's for sure because you can't have an economic expansion around the world which is going to last forever whatever goes up has to come down at some point so we're just entering this phase in of the natural balancing if you

like from from the not this is very the boom and bust of course but just a rebalancing perhaps a gentle rebalancing of the global economy hopefully it's going to be very gentle hopefully that's that's the hope no what you're seeing in china is a slowdown because of those policies and what you've seen germany is because basically you know they're a very very much an export led economy and so that's why you saw a small contraction in their g.d.p. now in the next in the in the next quarter they could actually come out of that contraction why because of breaks it because german car makers will be sending their part. over to england just before. britain leaves the european union so they'll be ramping up their stockpiling of goods in the u.k. for that particular purpose so again it's self-inflicted you know these pains shouldn't really need to be there we can do without them the world economy could do without them as well right now that alley thank you very much. now the heart of what was venezuela's booming all industry used to be the city of mother as today's

a borough report the gateway to the world's largest proven oil reserves is a symbol of the economic collapse and the socialist rule. and it to a city has become a luxury for most people in america when northwestern venezuela a luxury this people do not have they say they only have 4 hours of electricity a day. maybe a week and called store died 4 months ago in the middle of a power cut. my daughter died of a heart attack because of the heat because of all the problems we are facing the government is not doing anything to help us we have no water or electricity but i will was once venezuela's oil hub but now it's people like you many venezuela are struggling in the middle of an economic crisis mike i was once known as the cold the city in venezuela because of the amount of her conditionings here it has one of

the salaries we have we cannot survive it's the only way we can buy food these everyday calles only adds up to the political tension between the government. and the opposition led by one way the war and there are war is that any increase in u.s. sanctions could cause the situation to deteriorate even more. i don't think we're going to see political or economic change any time soon the conflict will increase with a radical opposition by the government and the opposition justifying economic and oil financial sanctions that are trying to break the government and for these people every day life is already very hard because they made the right i'm selling these burns because it's the only thing many can buy bones they can put it in the soup and get some protein. lack of food water and electricity and all have people here are tired and angry and they feel that the government has stopped listening to

their piece. the united states has accused sudan's former intelligence chief of torture and banned him from entering the country salah gauche served for almost 4 decades in sudan's national intelligence and security service public pressure forced him to resign in april 2 days after a military council took power and alstad the long term president omar al bashir of the us. issued a statement saying the designation of salah and his family underscores our support for accountability for those involved in gross violations of human rights we join the sudanese people in their call for a transitional government that is truly civilian led and differs fundamentally from the bashir regime. the u.s. government is building new detention centers to hold asylum seekers who cross the border from mexico the government says new arrivals are well cared for but several

children are among migrants who died in custody heidi joe castro ripples from el paso texas which is on the front line of donald trump's heavily criticised immigration policy. across from an el paso shopping plaza dallas suburban street is a detention center for migrants this is now part of life along the u.s. mexican border that which is warm allies to isn't a protest against that which is normalized. simply because it becomes an omnipresent the number of people who've been captured or turned themselves into the u.s. border patrol has trucked for more than 100008 month 272000 in july in el paso that's still 6 times higher than a year ago over the summer the government was criticized for keeping people under bridges and in overcrowded facilities but with emergency money from congress new detention centers are now being built u.s. customs and border protection says it's dramatically increased detention capacity

in recent weeks in texas an additional $4500.00 migrants are being held in tent cities the government says that the people inside are well cared for and protected from the desert sun but the migrant deaths still continue 2 weeks ago a 33 year old man from el salvador died shortly after being arrested more than a dozen migrants including children have died in government custody in the past year and a half cruelty is the point all of this is meant to be a deterrent it is meant to be a deterrent is meant to be a punishment then there's the recent allegation that a border patrol agent in yuma arizona sexually assaulted a detained 15 year old girl the u.s. homeland security secretary says that is. under investigation any allegation that's raised by by policy must be immediately reported to an independent investigative agency and they're going to take that for action critics say the migrants are

refugees and should be greeted with assistance rather than a rest and possible abuse the u.s. government says it's trying to enforce the law in a humanitarian manner as more and more people are being detained. castro al-jazeera el paso texas. the pilots of a russian airliner are being hailed as heroes for saving lives by crash landing in a coal filled all 233 people on board escaped 23 of them were injured ural airlines hit a flock of seagulls shortly before takeoff from zukowski airport in moscow birds were sucked into both engines forcing the pilots into an emergency landing quite close to the airport let's wait now to david lim out is navy safety specialist he's joining us from london via skype thanks for talking to us what do you know about what happened in this incident at all for being on that plane. yes it would have

been pretty shocking but it didn't last very long and although i think a couple of people got minor injuries in the incident it was you know everybody everybody lived and if it be it closest comparison we have to an event like this is one almost exactly 10 years ago when. u.s. airways last known did on the hudson river actually on remember it well but exactly one of the most famous incidents of all time actually ferry the ocean again a couple of people got hurt nobody was killed and it was exactly the same cause it was both engines were hit by in this case it was a flock of geese and it fired its last hour almost all power on both engines as happened in this case well david i mean birds are in the sky pretty regularly as

are planes why is it that so far we've got 2 incidents of this. kind of accident happening when obviously there are thousands and thousands of flights happening every day. well yes there are thousands literally there are millions every year and you know it's a fairly good illustration of the fact we will have another event like this one and i hope it's as harmless as this one was sick of the airplane got very badly bent but nobody got hurt us and i hope future events will be like that yes it's just a matter of chance there are lots of birds in the sky if a big saw or big ready birds it's both engines then you are committed to a forced landing but as you can see there is a video online x. you want to check it it's quite fascinating because a person who was there doing out the window and there is total silence just the sound of the air going past the airplane total silence and the aircraft lives down

into the field and comes to a halt and everybody gets very excited that is it worth watching well i will day they better presumably that their plane hadn't reached full flying altitude like 33000 feet or whatever by which at the point at which this accident happened and that the reason why it was able to glide down face made land and safely know as a matter of fact that the higher you are the more time you have to glide down know and it actually makes it safer if you are very high. if you are extremely low i.e. this it happened immediately after the aircraft lifted off the pilots would have had no choice but to put the aircraft down immediately because it can't we wouldn't be able to glide there in far because had no height and very little additional speed to do things where so if they would have had to put it down wherever they

were and near airports there are usually buildings so this was very fortunate but the pilots handled 6 string the well right and so it's just a matter of luck.
