as he plans to make some such things he's like around the corner that german bundesliga is heating up and as always we're there to keep people delayed to call. on because the. other 60. this is the the news a show coming up on the program india makes a radical change in the disputed territory of kashmir i meet a heavy security crackdown to get scraps. special status and its power to make its own laws to move even undressed speak to a. dangerous situation that's how the hong kong government has destroyed continuing protest in the city. of clashes and demonstrations what's next for the protest movement.

welcome to. it's good to have you with us. india has ended a constitutional provision that governed its tradition ship with the disputed region of just one kashmir the abolition of author 370 means the state of jammu and kashmir would no longer enjoy near autonomous control over its affairs as this special status has so far formed the cornerstone of india's policy in mead let's go to the map right now the entire shaded region that you see over here is a region of john one kashmir that india and pakistan both claim it was a princely state at the time of india's independence in 1907 but decided to join india and later on wall followed and controlled. was event to be divided between

the 2 countries in these 2 should it in different colors of orange that you see here optical 370 government india's relationship with the pot on the indian administration it give it control over all affairs except foreign affairs defense and communication this has now been ended india's home minister ahmed shah had this to say bottom and stop at the sense that these 2 parties but on the recommendation of parliament the president announces that starting from the day that the president of india signs this declaration and it is published and the government does it all the provisions under article $370.00 will cease to be a political. number for that. and the president has signed this declaration manoj joshi is a leading security analyst from the observer inside foundation in delhi manoj good to have you with us how do you see things developing on the ground in kashmir after

this announcement well i think certainly very there will be a sense look we were never going to show. the article $378.00 it says it's not really much. credit we can be done divine but equally important symbol of the. symbol that they were unique there you. so this has been taken and i think that is something which is going to be a bit of a psychological shock to them and you under spawn of the psychological shock as reported a former chief minister of them one has made. called it a court the dock is de indian democracy and you father went on the wall on that there could be catastrophic consequences for the subcontinent does she have a point. well you know that may be stretching it

a bit flawed because you know as far as christine is concerned it has already seen a huge amount of violence and. serious they will be who do this contain every protest. the that's why the authority the program for their st paul police forces army forces i think in the short done they will keep a lid on it but what is i think. the problem is the question of promoted to a nation in the sense all seated on the street is want to do so. since the 1990 there has been an insurgency here by that insurgency are being more it is defeated and you still have a lot of the population silent majority essentially range along with the idea that if we were part of india and the separatists would actually in the minority right now i'm a pretty good there's going to be some period of period of and it is not since that they have lost something not in fact that lost it already taken place but the point

is the psychological shock off being told that if you're like anyone else. is there nothing unique about you. that is going to have the impact what does that someone's about the. government's trying to do $200.00 have a strategy if so what isn't well you know the thing is that there would be hippies only still ideology have been that we should not have a special status so to do something with a big important part of a funding would be to be just won't be slow this one or the movement to defeat. this special status so in one sense it's the fulfillment of that and you can be sure that if you how widespread support across the country. in the country there is a certain amount of pressure at 50 and people who say well you don't 70 years we take to be nice it hasn't worked out so this is the busy this has to be

a drastic solution so be it and so people would like to be in the government already you seem be the actual political party and many of the political party in the south actually supporting the b. and i suspect that same support going to be there. right across the country is there more georgian from the observatory such foundations being tossed from that he thank you very much for that analysis. throwing out to hong kong where a general strike has federalized the city's airport and varied services on monday protesters prevented metro trains from moving and was successful in disrupting their services as well more than 100 flights were canceled at the airport the strike on monday for the weekend of clashes between protesters and police demonstrators want hong kong chief executive to resign and broader democratic reforms in the special administrative region of china. this andress has been going

on for more than one needs now and protesters have had to adapt to stay one step ahead of the ever typing security. i was just reporting from hong kong. you know you can hear the frustration like this is clear in any language. as the weeks go on even cameras are becoming unwelcome 10. minutes later to gasify it but is no longer a match for these increasingly sophisticated protests. as the toxic fumes fill the air the call goes out to me. under the cover of smoke processes just as quickly as they arrived. this is what they're calling that the water strategy to stay nimble don't get cold. 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. phase has as easy 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 but to know and move on and start the next demonstration this flash mob style tactic is now the most powerful defense. against an increasingly intolerant police force. the police trusted to toying together when they go there was 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 also from being arrested that's the main thing i think how do you 16 and how many different protest locations have keeping see today to now it will be 5. a major tunnel is blocked for 2nd night running. cars brought to

a standstill but once again it doesn't last all that much of it oh police move in but the demonstrations are one step ahead they've already moved on. all that police can do is clear the damage. this is become a cats and mouse game with protesters who have the coming harder and harder to contain. and for more i'm joined by john lewis lauro troll in hong kong the real you've been covering these protests since it began about 9 weeks ago does it look like the protesters have a plan is there for instance a willingness to talk with the government and try and reach an end or is the protest movement that is going to stay on the streets. i think there is absolutely a willingness to talk to the government but the problem is right now that the government isn't reaching out they're not making any compromises the chief executive is barely visible or she disappears for days or weeks at

a time so i think there are protesters now what they want and they're willing to talk but it's the government that's not budging that's why people are saying it's really hard to see how this ball and what the reaction been among supporters does to the recent press conference by county. well i think she said more of the usual which is not much and i think no one was surprised by that no one was really expecting her to say anything new or interesting so she didn't really do anything to deescalate the situation or to reassure them she continued to condemn the protests there is so it's it didn't help i'm not sure how much of her either but it again more of the same really that she's been saying this whole time and that beijing has been saying that's fine what does that say about go. to hong kong government has what the government to do to try and meet to situation better.

well the protesters have very specific demands they want to completely draw all of the bill they want an investigation into violence so things like that they are and can take steps towards that but it hasn't been happening it's unclear why that withdrawal that bill hasn't happened especially when chief executive and said that the bill is dead she's delayed it and that they don't have plans to go through with it but because the people here don't trust her or the government they're demanding a complete withdrawal and so far very lamb has even refused to say the word with drawl so there's also the question of who's really and power here is that ariel i'm or that baby. there is rumors that she wanted to step down but that beijing didn't want her to so the legitimacy of the government and her leadership is also in question what about the police in all of this are all of them are those have been heavily criticized by the protesters police tactics father causing protests to

spread. i would think so the police have been a big focus for the protesters they have focused on police violence the actual case on the fact that a lot of police officers aren't wearing their badge numbers there have been a lot of arrests they didn't are getting he thought on the streets and there's even and videos of journalists getting protests and so the balance is absolutely incited a lot of the anger there's been since there's been a couple protests that have only focused on the police violence and didn't even mention the extradition bill so the police behavior and reaction definitely made it worse and what we're seeing now is that actually local residents who aren't even protesters per se they're they're coming down to the great police they're coming down there they're getting into their. heckling the riot police and the products they had to respond to that with tear gas which of course makes it even more angry

and these are local residents there in the flats there not wearing masks and helmets like. the roads are all the speeches are some concepts are very much for that and others here gas another on a tear gas just fired so and this is happening all over morning was about. available on our website going to the top of the stairs not because i was there is because well it's today in the law. and on demand. language courses. video and or you know. you know center. this is something times that you and i asked him to join us or a student with a name that i killed many civilians with i mean i should come including my father
