because the markets a shot rice vegetables we can't even get meat for us says because everything is shut. that's affecting people with small businesses especially in farming who are worried the restrictions on communication and movement means their hard work will be thrown away. it's a situation that's common throughout the kashmir valley most businesses think shut in srinagar carpet sellers have already stocked up for both the tourist and wedding season this month but few have had any sales and weeks. ahead. made them. houseboat hotels and famous doll lakes sit empty. and with only local people riding a few of the gondolas many boat men are fishing to pass the time and catch a meal just before the restrictions earlier this month the government order tourists to leave the area taking with them one vital piece of the region's economy

but it's not the 1st time kashmiris have suffered from work and businesses being shut down has it do. we know by the. abo and take on. what they know their tourism season everything is at stake but they know that the existence. still. doesn't know if he'll be allowed to transport his crop to market or find enough trucks to do so but he'll continue tending his fields because for many here culture and pride are more important than business and money. districts indeed administered kashmir saudi arabia is some lying reports that hooty rebels in yemen use drones to attack a military targets in its capital riyadh in recent weeks the several drone missile

attacks on the kingdom it's possible escalation of cross border assaults in the 4 year old conflict in yemen mohammad has more now from yemen's port city who data have said about the attack. they said that they have targeted a military. plays a region there but we haven't given a lot about but it's a good. day be along. the side of the saudi arabia target many military i guess including parts of. i'm also a big gathering of the forces also in the they are the spokespersons of the you will extend their attacks and caves riyadh decided to go ahead with its war in yemen let's get some analysis now on what's really going on joining us here ibrahim fry has an associate professor of conflict resolution at the institute for

graduate studies so the who say they found these missiles at riyadh's the saudi government the saudi coalition fighting in yemen says. no they haven't so what's going on yeah well this is not the 1st time we see these kind of conflicting claims between the who has and saudi arabia but there is one thing we know for sure that the who his ballistic missiles have reached he has in saudi arabia actually a 5th of our young because just last week we were there was an attack on our own cool me of the borders of the united arab emirates which is again a. place that's filled the van. and now the new think about this one is that. the who it is i'm talking about you think minute that he bases which hasn't been the case before because they were targeting like vital places infrastructure infrastructure. targets and haven't lost a kid on our airports but this time they're talking about military bases that they

have attacked with them but it's the missiles including one that's in the john where of the saudi soldiers have been preparing to fully deployment and for attacks and yemen so this is something you know. yet the who has have to prove that they have a cold and he says that earlier in the day there were there were reports from saudi arabia saying that that saudi forces and shot down some sort of projectile this is hours before they came out with this claim that they had hit riyadh saudi arabia does have the means to intercept the saudi hooty rebels coming from yemen and then missiles yeah that's absolutely correct and actually which could be the case because for 2 reasons one is that saudi arabia does have such capabilities to intercept and there was in the past where they were able to hold down some of these ballistic missiles but also 2nd we have to keep in mind that the who his have the

intensified that attack so it could very well be that the attack this morning. as well so it's not mutually exclusive either this statement or that it could be both actually the fact that some of these who's the missiles have actually hit their intended targets because of this there's something lacking in the saudi defenses that's correct because actually the accuracy of the saudi defense system by the way is not very high actually because now like from the past month we were seeing like then missiles or 10 you know drawings attacking the front back in saudi arabia and then some cases like that 10 of them would reach their fall gets so which tells us about the level of accuracy of the defense system is not is not very high but it's still nevertheless actually it's there proved in the past that was able to intercept some of these drones and to stop them they were him always good to talk to you many thanks indeed for being with us once again avery and frank you know that. this is the news hour from al-jazeera still to come on the program sued by

further negotiations next month in september but no details have been released about that so there's concern just where the next step is where this trade war goes from here at a concern to that we have a global slowdown in the economy so there's concern that this trade war could also prompt a global recession tom lange is trying to analyst at the economist intelligence unit she says it's vital that the u.s. and china reach an agreement sometime soon. the longer this thing drags the uncertainty in trance response and the general escalation in trade war and tariffs then the last uncertainty investors would have and that means the long term investment would halt further for chinese domestic economy this is no good news because we have seen that the most recent data shows china's consumption investment are pretty weak monthly any year to your numbers and going forward it just seems that china to us there are little chance to reach agreement in september but

a once over lining in that is that china is still committed to opening its domestic markets further india r.c. already announced to shorten its negative list for there in september and that's the 4th time since last year which is in a way there's a bit of a good news on top of all those bad news in trade talks sudan's new sovereign council has declared a state of emergency in the city of port sudan after fighting between 2 rival communities led to the deaths of 17 people the council sacked the provincial governor after 3 days of violence more than 100 other people injured in the dispute between the beni and nuba tribes from syria's morgan who's in khartoum. sudan sovereign council which was sworn in just last week and which has pledged to prioritize peace in its 1st 6 months of the transitional period has declared a state of emergency in the city of port sudan now this follows days of ethnic clashes between members of the and the new but tribes and we understand from people

in port sudan that it started as a verbal quarrel between members of the opposing tribes which eventually turned violent the authorities say at least 17 people have been killed and dozens others have been wounded and are now hospitalized and activists are telling us that the tensions are so high that people from opposing tribes cannot be hospitalized in the same hospitals due to concerns of outbreak of war violence. council also dismissed the acting state governor who was appointed by the transitional military council following the ousting of longtime president i'm going to be here in april they've also dismissed the head of security the sovereign council had sent a delegation to try to mediate between the 2 tribes but so far that has been unsuccessful which lead to declination of a state of emergency and activists are saying that they are worried that this tribal conflict this ethnic tension which has been going on for a few months now will escalate in the coming weeks if no solution is provided by the sovereign council and sudan's new prime minister has appealed for international

support as the country begins its next steps towards democracy. his government wants an end to sanctions and what he called sudan's pariah status the economy collapsed on the former president omar al bashir is 30 years in office and in april when he was deposed by the military following months of protests. for 30 years we would isolate. we're treated as a pariah state. we want to tell the world. we're moving away from sanctions. issues of punishment and all that to a sudan that is coming back to the form of normalization it's contributing to peace security you know to you know number one and for that abroad. we wanted to be seen as picking 3 that the paulding human rights good governance peace security and easiest self and peace and its neighbors. 7 months after

going to repeat it so far from it however it was a year ago and here it is a tropical storm not far away from barbados once what it doesn't make much of itself is a satellite picture we share is a revolution in a massive thunderstorms of barely an hour to be seen as the nature of tropical storms quite often it's winds there are nearly 100 kilometers per hour it's moving fairly quickly westward so it's going to just skim power for a bit as in the next i would think 9 to 10 hours to be honest and this rainfall potential about 200 millimeters it's almost reflects what happened last year and probably has got away with minor damage not expect the same to happen this time as well tropical storm warnings are in force of barbados and lucia addles incidents in the gravities maybe this isn't the story if you look at the full cost pass of this thing it news tonight and tomorrow into the eastern mediterranean and it will spread rain all over the place in the windward arles ok now that doesn't look very dangerous and it's still a tropical storm but the water is warm when the conditions are right for

development so if you take it 24 hours beyond that and look where it's heading towards san juan which handsfree puerto rico by the time it gets to the shores of press we get could be a category one hurricane stronger winds more rain i did to get a few worse than this but it's certainly one to watch for that very reason and you rob many thanks still to come here on the news out this could be more difficult for venezuelans who flee hardship in their country to get into ecuador we'll tell you why plus. puts on a stop of 4 months in the battle of los angeles the details coming up later in sport. violence and discrimination are all too familiar to many women in india a reality too often reinforced by bollywood. but its leading star is throwing his weight behind the cause. of egypt out there julie and using his celebrity to
