kashmir is the only state in india where muslims are in a majority the hindu nationalist led indian government decision to scrap article $370.00 which allowed a high degree of autonomy is said to further inflame tensions for the very latest let's bring in jess when she's a correspondent in delhi minissha just for us though this is a very significant move no government in the past has dared to make this change the status of me what is the indian government hoping to achieve with this. well of the indian government led by the hindu nationalist party a democrat party is hoping to achieve a long stated goal of its own by the b j p one of the b.g.p. is long stated goals which is a complete integration of these see the scrapping of article 370 as a way to bring further into the domain of india because one of the provisions of
1:03 pm
article 370 made was that the indian constitution did not imply in its entirety to the earth to the state of someone can meet but now once this article is scrapped this will no longer hold true another convention from the b.g.p. has been that the scrapping of article 317 will allow for better development of the region for the for better access to opportunities for the people of kashmir but however of course there's been strict there's been a lot of criticism from the opposition saying that this move is unconstitutional and so simply a way to assert even stronger dominance over the sea to meet another important step that this government at stake and is that it's not changing the status of the state of push me by dividing it into 2 when my changing it into what is called union ted cruz here in india so not only does someone have less apart than it did before there is also an expectation that it would have less apos than other states in the
1:04 pm
country and we should as we speak is in lockdown and what kind of reaction though is expected to come in from there because there were indications in the past couple of days that something big was going to be announced about the region and it has been announced today. but i'm tired it's really important to emphasize here that by evacuating reactions from all across the country the one thing is we're not hearing any reactions from. me isn't total lockdown communications have been cut off mobile internet does get periodically shut off in that state because of tensions and security issues by. even communication lines phone lines have been clamped down doesn't call fuel cross the state housing supply on parsons all security forces have been deployed from across the country in addition to good large security deployment that oil reserves this is in that state the movement off troops was justified. by the state saying this is
1:05 pm
a security issue if there was no kata and what the issue may be told us some pilgrims to hindu sites over there were asked to leave the state and now we know what all this preparation with leading up to in terms of the reaction from bush made us a largely expected that the people will not be happy again it's important to note that article 370 in many ways was a hollow provision because many sections of the involve applied through different means through executive orders but it can be as the article allowed for the people of wish me to believe that they had a special safe is that the reason that pushed me to see you dead to india back in 1947 was because they were granted a special status not only doesn't mean you are afraid they feel that this will lead to a for the deepening of the nation of the people and perhaps an even for the rise of homegrown insurgency and just wrong condemnation is already coming from pakistan the foreign minister has said india has changed stages of kashmir so what he saw were an illegal act what implications with this move have the relations between the
1:06 pm
2 neighbors. well the comments coming in from pakistan today of course we have the foreign minister of pakistan making this statement yesterday the prime minister of pakistan emraan khan said that baucus thought he would be appealing to the united nations once again that india has moved to uni lateral and illegal and that they would destabilize the region and these fields have actually been expressed from within india going to stood the leadership as well that these moves will slow the destabilize the region and there has been a build up of tensions all along the line of control which is the de facto border between india and the. meet in pakistan have mr bush meet and that is a likelihood because pakistan has also made a statement saying it for use all its options to point best this illegal move could those options be off or military to even have to wait to find out but of course this can be a traditional civility as well. as smile indeed thank you very much for that update
1:07 pm

1:12 pm
dove's one feature victims in dayton ohio. the community in disbelief but one determined to get through it together people who never would have crossed have supposed each other in our most painful moments dating has done and when 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 the 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
1:13 pm
a gunman fired on shoppers in a wal-mart store killing 20 people. officers arrested a 21 year old man here the motive was clear investigators found an empty 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 his time for action we have to get it stuff is been going on for years and years and years in our culture we have to get it stopped but this is also it meant though this problem if you look at both of these cases this is mental illness these are built really people that are very very seriously mentally ill. but for opponents of the president's he is the real
1:14 pm
problem they say his answer immigrants who toric is stoking division and creating hate. i hate the grief spilled over into anger anger at the an action of a government not only on gun control but also on the growing divide in american society. let me on being in the interest of the american university in washington d.c. she's an award winning author and a scholar of far right extremism welcome to you now what is your assessment on why have you seen an upsurge of violence linked to right wing extremism in the u.s. right now. well i think part of what you understand about right wing extremism is that it's motivated by a whole range of exclusionary ideologies beliefs hatred racism of others but they often don't understand that it's also tied to at the extreme fringe the idea. in
1:15 pm
a threat a demographic threat that's posed through immigration through the what's called the great replacement in their ideology of whites or of europeans need of mourning europeans with others and that kind of part of the ideology has then ramping up on social media and also because it comes across from mainstream politicians and that has absolutely been fueling the violence that as people in the report people's grief is turning into anger and they're shouting do something do something what can be done to lift such crimes and change the narrative that you've been talking about . i mean of course it's important to say we need absolutely need gun reform legislation in the us i mean this is a massive problem that is separate from the issue of far right extremism but on the ideology itself i mean gun reform isn't going to help. that escalation toward violence right away and so in the immediate short term you know there are a couple of things one we need serious education across the border both in schools
1:16 pm
but but in the public narrative as well that helps restrain this idea of immigration as a threat into you know an idea that immigration is is is not a threat is something that is. is is is less threatening to others and i think you know when we have politicians who are using words like invasion and incursion that that doesn't help so we need to elect politicians who can move away from that framing of immigration as a problem and see it as a strength instead and we've had 2 sets of killings in the recent days one of them is being described as an act of domestic terrorism the other one is being viewed as a kid to crime how do authorities distinguish between the 2. that distinction has to do with the motivation for the crime the motive and the dayton shootings still are unclear in terms of the motive i think that what's really important to understand is that sadly the motive may not actually matter and terms of whether
1:17 pm
that still feeds the same narrative that right wing extremists globally are using which is that you know they believe they need to so as much societal discord and that violent action is one of the ways to do that to bring about change and a kind of apocalyptic and time so these kinds of terrorist attacks even islamist terrorist attacks feed that same narrative and so when you have mass shootings that that that feeds the ideology that that there is an imminent threat and imminent end times coming and that will feed other it will inspire other violent acts as well even if those acts aren't tied directly to the ideology right cynthia just thank you very much feel inside. thank you for having me not to yemen often called the once forgotten war or what 90000 people have died since the conflict between the saudi backed government and the pro is on in who was began in 2015 millions of fed
1:18 pm
fighting and famine and incredibly east african refugees so if you get in somalia oh also heading towards the war torn country their goal is to reach yemen's neighbor a prosperous saudi arabia but instead to end up trapped correspondent funny for china visited yemen and met some of them. yemen is at war with itself something they know very little about. said. he's the youngest migrant i meet today he arrived by boat with his brother from one of about 100 this man is haunted by images of the dangerous crossing. them out of many when we got into the there was no water and no food. it was too windy. some people had to stand
1:19 pm
others were sitting in. the boat was very crowded. the ones who do make landfall then have to walk for days to dead desert. these young men paid a couple of $100.00 to reach their goal saudi arabia to find work the big ordeal certainty and instability in yemen it's completely unclear re are these migrants will end. an estimated 100000 migrants reached yemen from africa every year this migration route is less known compared to the want to europe through sudan and libya and it's cheaper but dangerous yemen is littered with landmines and aid organizations stops by there are only prepared to talk off the record i hear most migrants will never reach saudi arabia most of the 90 percent or 85 percent just.
1:20 pm
one of the places in war torn yemen where migrants are drawn into the conflict. in aden i meet one of the yemeni smugglers wants to remain anonymous the war in yemen of forced him into smuggling he says there are no jobs we can't find anything else to do but working at sea. fishing for people lawlessness makes smuggling a lucrative business he earns the equivalent of $400.00 of it each migrant he tells me. the smuggling business is widespread because there's no security no stability no good living the business is flourishing now yemenis are struggling with chronic unemployment and poverty in their midst the stranded migrants. arrived 2 months ago from theo pierre he says he was beaten by smugglers and has no money left to continue his journey his message to other migrants who just want to tell them not
1:21 pm
to come in not to try to make. any country. as much as possible. they have to stay in their home in the homeland. but the smugglers promise that the migrants will reach saudi arabia we continue to pull them even to a country that has as many problems as yemen. that report my news correspondent joins me honey you're in lagos nigeria to listen a little bit more about what these refugees are hoping hoping to escape which will mean east africa. has pretty much the same factors to pull people away from their homes worldwide migrants who are leaving their home countries as a lack of perspectives lack of unemployment basically bottom line a lack of a dignified life but if you zoom in on the european migrants that make up a lot of the migrants that arrive to yemen you find something else interethnic
1:22 pm
violence that is playing out in their home country as a result millions of people in ethiopia a country just recently visited millions of people in that country are displaced in their own country and they simply say they have nothing to do with so they're going to even embark on such a dangerous trip as they want to from the horn of africa from djibouti all the way through the gulf of aden to into the city as well as they make it to aden in. funny given it's it is a country rich in suffers from food shortages of high prices so how do these refugees survive. devers basically at the mercy of the smugglers the ones that smuggle them the way from east africa to the coast of yemen depending on who you ask somebody to say that these smugglers are supposed to give them food because they heat for that food but i have told us that they're being beaten
1:23 pm
tortured to give the last cent what they have in their pockets the last minute that they have and they are not given any food once again others are receiving some very very basic snacks so water by the i you am one of the n.-g. o. groups that is driving through out of that that desert and once again others are trying to back for some food once they arrive in the biggest city in aden begging for food in a country where people themselves yemenis themselves don't have them. large to eat so many efforts being made to get them out of yemen. they are after is for example by this u.n. agency i am trying to voluntarily return some of these people according to them around 2000 migrants have worn through just such a return to its european but if you look at the situation on the ground in yemen the political situation in that country once these people actually have decided to return to the next question is how do you get there all of them and because the southern part of the country is controlled by the saudi that coalition but there is
1:24 pm
a rift within that coalition itself and that in the view between the yemeni government and the saudi that coalition so as a result it's completely unclear where the planes will actually take off or made it to bring these migrants back to ethiopia or most of them are from behind family fortune thank you very much for that. enough within sport high drama at the 100 grand prix on sunday as lewis hamilton extended his lead in the season long formula one drivers championship he had to get the much younger locks to stop and who started the release in pole position. up in the 1st ever poll saw him flanked by relentless mercedes duo fell terry both lewis hamilton about to some of foil if ever there was one but with both slipping down the pecking order early it quickly turned into an intense 2 horse race. pit stops have rarely played a bigger role the lead changed hands constantly as the calls came in for modification. $39.00 saw pushed up and hold off his rival with expert defensive
1:25 pm
driving but with more than 30 laps to go the outcome was anyone's guess a hamilton pit stop on lap 40 knowing would prove to be pivotal a switch to fresher tires handing the british driver a crucial votes each 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 i win for the defending world champion and one which all but guarantees a 6 world title but for all have alton's brilliance this was undoubtedly a team effort by mercedes. very 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 for a race to be at the push like that and turning to the level where i find
1:26 pm
performance once again from 1st up and who just couldn't get it over the line i yeah we were just talking australia but. yeah i tried everything i could on my hard tire if you were 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 iraq continues to belong to lewis hamilton. it watching the dead news here's a recap of the top stories that we're following feel india has developed a special status of kashmir a spot for the time to integrate the region with the rest of the country's critics say the move is undemocratic and could spark contrast the government in delhi says it's a long overdue step. and pro-democracy protesters in hong kong have clashed with riot police for a 3rd day in a row security forces a fired tear gas attack to vist in one area of the city a general strike is also taking place bringing parts of the city to stansted and.
