confirmed the government is revoking the special autonomous status of india controlled kashmir the ruling hindu nationalist party says it will scrap article $370.00 which allowed the state of john moon kashmir to make its own laws in else when it comes after authorities suspended phone and internet access there and placed popular state leaders under house arrest the disputed region is also claimed by pakistan the indian government has also wrist directed public movement and closed schools in the main city of figure this comes a week after the federal government sent $10000.00 additional troops to the majority muslim region citing a terrorist threat or panic has gripped many local residents some of whom fear a dramatic escalation of violence between rebels and federal forces ok let's bring in the wall our correspondent in delhi for more dana what

does removing the special status for indian controlled kashmir mean for the people living there. well brian the possible consequences of the removal of article 270 can be drastic and dramatic there has been quite an outpouring of reactions coming in but unfortunately we are not charging from the people of kashmir directly because of the fact that there's been a complete communications and not shut down but just overall i will have to take you back to a bit of a quick history lesson in that when india and pakistan were divided the 3 sovereign states were given the option to either remain free joined india join pakistan now this is the good of the conflict between india and pakistan over kashmir both states claim that the state of someone kashmir belongs in its entirety to them now this article 270 which has been scrapped the special law that has been scrapped basically allowed certain freedoms to the people of fish needed now the separation between the indian state and the indian state could win on communication external

affairs and defense but not on the us much but now that not only she is stopping this article that changing the status also stayed within the country as well so that even the need does the local leaders of the state will have less of a mess up was not just us compared to before but as compared to other local leaders of states across the country ok this change of status means a lot for pakistan have we heard anything from the pakistani government about this . well so far there hasn't been a statement by the pakistan government but of course this is a developing new situation and this could come out at any moment now but the people who have been able to respond we have been gotten reports from the morning that state leaders have been in lockdown and one interesting reaction from one prominent state leader mahmoud the who was the local chief minister last year has been that this is going to spark has got a straw for consequences across the subcontinent she has even gone as far as to say

that the decision to join india is that is there's a pushback there's no there's a backlash because that means the wrong decision. back when there was the bank to make the decision and she think the people of kashmir and that autonomy is strong even their own oxfam of course. agree with the sentiment because this has been one of the convention coming in from pakistan that india has not allowed for the people to push me to have enough of the sea and the scrapping of the arctic you put up with tension equal wild more if you will of oxfam to make some of the camps and then just fall for us in delhi with the latest the mission thanks for now we'll be getting back to you i'm sure throughout the day for now thanks very much. offer another weekend of protests and clashes hong kong has been brought to a near standstill by a general strike activist succeeding in stopping a number of underground train services by blocking doors which led to scuffles with some commuters more than 200 flights have been canceled many shops and businesses

later to gasify it but is no longer a match for these increasingly sophisticated protesters. as the toxic fumes fill the air the call goes out to me. under the cover of smoke protesters dispersed as quickly as they arrived but this is what they're calling that the water strategy stay nimble don't get colds. group chats on social media help them plan where to target next. but thousands file into public transport and on to the next location for now the short sharp best of disruption up benitez's easing trains to get across the city as quickly as possible barry is left open for them to pos freely in and out of the train stations this is part of a deliberate strategy to get from location to location as quickly as possible to

not stay in one place for too long move on and start the next demonstration this flash mob style tactic is now the most powerful defense against an increasingly intolerant police force caused the police to trust a time together when they go though and then we can go to another place so maybe there is less police and we can do our things secondly we will try to save ourselves from being arrested that's the main thing i think how do you 16 and how many different protest locations have you been to today to an oligopoly 5. a major tunnel is blocked for 2nd night running. cars brought to a standstill but once again it doesn't last long. police move in but the demonstrations are one step ahead they've already done. all that police can do is clear the damage. this has become

a cats and mouse game with. throughout the coming harder and harder to contain. ok where's that game headed let's go straight to our correspondent charlotte dawson tell put that together for us in hong kong charlotte your report there focused on how sophisticated protester tactics have become what are we likely to see over the next few days more of the same will commuters continue to be targeted. for this now is this day running that we are seeing major disruption on the streets of hong kong people here have been trying to drum up support for the strike and it's russian that has been taking place today to caroline 50 commuters from getting into what the crane plane caught with down till now is. the end of it all day some people are taking charge later on today very.

rioting tell you more rioting charges that carry up to 10 in prison people that we speak to say that they fear that there will be more violence back to 3 tonight people really have been angered by a sampling of the situation and carries them press conference that press conference which we had found by doing short time ago from that that i'm good people even more people saying that and has condemned that protect. aaron in training what is already any training to situation ok kerry lamb is that the focus of this right now are charlotte a do the protesters have broad support and and what are their main demands right now. but as we night brian this started as a price has calling for the withdrawal of that extradition bill is really more the last few weeks that angus wells all star say they want a full resignation from kerry lamb something that he refused to do today and there

will be calling for an independent investigation into police we seem to quite violent scenes on the streets please do you think it's very liberating against pretenses we're getting reports of some kind that there isn't firing to get at the media is what i say this protest has just changed over the last few weeks and is this like it's not going to come down anytime ok now we heard kerry last warning protesters that they're bringing this city to the verge of quote a very dangerous situation was he referring to there. when he's referring to this escalation that we've seen in recent weeks in fact today we saw something you said you know you've been in this already on precedented movement a call was apparently driving trying to drive through fact case in question to a couple of people videos that is circulating on social media attention here on

both sides feeling on both sides of really becoming more and more fired up as the weeks go on we are close now brian in the night week night week of this protest movement thanks very much for that from hong kong. let's check out some of the other stories making the news this hour in egypt an explosion near cairo streamers where has killed at least 19 people destroyed a number of vehicles the government says it was caused by a multiple vehicle car crash and also caused a fire at a nearby hospital which had to be evacuated. russia's military said its aircraft dropped more than 1200 tons of water on forest fires in siberia on sunday those flames covered territory roughly the size of belgium they've been a blaze for several weeks in the air cuts and cross new yorkers read. the deputy

leader of cambodia's camaro rouge regime has died at the age of $93.00 known as brother number 2 launch a was the right hand man of leader pol pot last year and un backed tribunals convicted him of genocide for his role in the camero regime which killed some 2000000 cambodians the 1970 s. . in london a teenage boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a 6 year old child was thrown from the tents for viewing platform of the teat modern museum the child was found alive on a 5th floor roof taken hospital police say they don't believe the suspect knew the child. well thought he's in the united states or treating a mass shooting in el paso texas as a case of domestic terrorism police say they found an online manifesto by the suspect indicating the attack was racially motivated 20 people were killed when the shooter opened fire at a wal-mart store in all paso texas attack was followed 13 hours later by another

mass shooting in dayton ohio 9 people were killed there. 9 dove's one feature victims in dayton ohio. a community in disbelief but one determined to get through it together people who never would have crossed paths and have each other in our most painful moments dating has done very well the best we take care of each other. was the shooter opened fire outside a bar surveillance footage shows people running for cover and then captures the moment police shot dead of a gunman. among the victims his own sister and his motive so far unclear. scenes of mourning also in el paso

texas here just hours before the shooting in dayton a gunman fired on shoppers in a wal-mart store killing 20 people. officers arrested a 21 year old man here's a motive was clear investigators found an anti migration manifesto posted online. the rest of this country projecting their fears on us. on immigrants on mexicans on those who do not look like the majority of the united states of america and yesterday we bore the absolute worst of it at the white house the flag flies a half maust president trump says it's time for action we have to get that stuff is really going on for years and years and years in our country we have to get it right this is also a mental illness problem if you look at both of these cases this is mental illness

these are people really people that are very very seriously mentally ill. but for opponents of the president's he is the real problem they say he's and the immigrants with toric is stoking division and creating hate. of the grief spilled over into anger and review national government not only on gun control but also on the growing divide in american society. let's go straight to el paso now we're joined by our correspondent alexandra phenomena good morning alexandra how are the people of el paso coming to terms with what happened there. people i talked to in el paso told me that they are trying to assess the governor there are trying to support each other when you drive into the city you can see a lot of billboards saying el paso strong and that is what they trying to do we

went to a vigil late sunday night right behind me you can also see the wal-mart building where the shooting took place and people were bringing flowers and candles and they were praying together some of them cried so it was a very sad moment at the same time you can really feel that there were a lot of fluff and kindness here people brought food and water and they tried to do . to support each other and to come forward to each other to know that the president has responded to the shootings in el paso into those over the weekend as well by saying they have to stop we always hear this question in these kinds of moments but are we likely to see any new moves on gun control in the u.s. . it is very difficult to say because presidents try while announcing that he's going to to make a statement on monday he didn't elaborate and in the past he was not

a huge fan of stricter gun control laws so i would assume that he would concentrate in his message on praising law enforcement for acting very quickly and maybe he will also be talking about mental health issues and what should be done about that but the people i talked to here in el paso told me that they will eat they really are hoping that something will change in the u.s. and they in the end they can see stricter gun control those and of course they're also waiting for president to contend why it's nationalist white supremacists does a special because most of the victims in el paso were hispanic some were mexican nationals the mexican government is threatening legal action what might that look like. well they aren't these thinking about filing charges

terrorism charges in the u.s. legal system mexico's foreign minister also said that there are thinking about taking legal action against a person or the firm that sold the assault weapon that was used here in el paso and they were even pursuing. the possibility of extraditing the suspect ok no democrats especially the leading contenders for. a president in that party were quick to blame the president trumps rhetoric for being at least partially responsible for the opacity shootings what have they been saying. well they are saying that even though it's not possible to blame the president for this act of violence it is he's quote hateful rhetoric and he's fears stoking language that has encouraged extremists in the us that has encouraged

white supremacist and dad can incite violence and hatred and there is one of the 2020 democratic hopefuls who was very outspoken about president trump it was the former congress man from el paso texas and he even called the president white nationalists pointing to the fact that the president in the past called mexican spray piece that he called immigrants. animals and all of that according to beto can cause and incite violence and hatreds alexander thanks very much for that from. a rainy and media say tehran has seized another foreign flag oil tanker in the gulf 7 crew members are reported under arrest runs revolutionary guards at the tanker was smuggling oil to unnamed arab countries this is the 3rd ship iran has seized in recent weeks. a

fresh show of strength in the gulf iran says it seized this tanker on wednesday for allegedly smuggling fuel out of a country. vessel was seized in iran's territorial waters. it was carrying out its professional and organized fuel smuggling. that was 7 crew members on board. have some. it was carrying 700000 liters of smuggled diesel fuel at home should know that one currently by festival and history members have been detained on us. to seizure comes amid heightened tensions with the west which have been on the rise since the u.s. pulled out of a landmark nuclear deal with iran last year and reimposed sanctions. you know you. with its oil sector hit hard to run has recently moved to assert its

power in the gulf a key shipping route for much of the world's oil. on july 19th iran impounded a british tanker in the strait of hormuz for a legit marine violations a week after detaining a panamanian ship for suspected fuel smuggling. washington has also blamed iran for alleged attacks on oil tankers in the gulf in may and june the incidents have prompted the u.s. britain and other countries to discuss creating an international mission to protect shipping in the strait of hormuz. it's to stir you now which is home to more than 3 and a half 1000000 syrian refugees the largest such population in the world some of them have been there for years after fleeing syria's civil war war but turkey's economic woes are turning public opinion against this refugee community and some refugees say they're being tricked or forced into going back to syria. their

destination is known their fate is not the syrians are among the thousands reportedly being expelled from turkey they're being bussed across the border to a country they hardly recognize. well i'm not i don't know what i'm going to do my faith in turkey for 7 years i don't know anything anymore about syria i'll have to start again from scratch. the syrians used to live and work in turkey awaiting residence permits in the past 2 weeks turkish authorities have rounded up thousands of unregistered migrants. turkey says the migrants are being moved to camps within the country and that those returning to syria are doing so voluntarily not so say some return ease because i wanted out they lied to us when they told us to sign a document to get papers to trust the guy and resign to get papers but the next morning they put us on a bus around 35 people and they sent us back to syria that they were out of. here.

yet some in turkey are turning against the 3600000 syrians in the country. like these nationalists violently disrupting a pro migrant rally last week in istanbul. others still have sympathy for those with no safe home to return to. in syria the tragedy is continuing right now the occupation destruction and the barrel bombs are continue whether they were made what has changed in syria that justifies their return. bombing intensified in recent weeks in the syria's last rebel held region the truce has now gone into effect in the but it's feared any pause in the fighting could be short lived. we have some sports now and sunday's hunger ingrown praise all up and comer knocks for stop and start in pole position ahead of the 2 drivers who dominated the

season's championship series formula one fans were expecting a nail biting affair and they weren't disappointed. max pushed up in the 1st ever poll saw him flanked by relentlessness amy's duo fell terry both tass and lewis hamilton a baptism of fire if ever there was one but with both are slipping down the pecking order early it quickly turned into an intense 2 horse race. pit stops are rarely played a bigger role the lead changed hands constantly as the cars came in for modification . that $39.00 sawfish up and hold off his rival with expert defensive driving but with more than 30 laps to go the outcome was anyone's guess a hamilton pit stop on lap $49.00 would prove to be pivotal a switch to fresher tires handing the british driver a crucial advantage he remained patient however waiting for the perfect time to make his move and so he did on lap 67 just 3 before the finish line leaving his

rival with no time to recover. and a win for the defending world champion and one which all but guaranteed a 6 world title but for all have alton's brilliance this was undoubtedly a team effort by ms sadie's. who really grateful for the day in. and and really for the team for continuing to believe in me and continuing to push and to be out there there were race to be had to push like that and it was in the way a fine performance once again from fresh stepan who just couldn't get it over the line. yeah we were just not possible but. yeah i tried everything i could on that hard to stay alive but a fortune was just not enough the dutch 21 year old's day will come but on the verge of another world title this era continues to belong to lewis hamilton.

reminder now of our breaking news story at this hour india's government has. both the special status of kashmir as part of a plan to integrate that region with the rest of the country it is the most far reaching move to date on this troubled family in territory to nearly 7 decades. i'm dr thomas for the entire news team to thank so much for being with us.
