this is. from berlin to mass shootings in the united states claiming more lives as the president tells the nation to reject racial hatred. in one voice our nation must condemn racism bigotry and white supremacy the sinister ideologies must be defeated can the country overcome the deep divisions and prevent

the more massacres also coming up tonight india strips the disputed kashmir region of its special status to causing an uproar in parliament. critics are calling it a dark day for democracy pakistan which also claims the territory has condemned the move saying it's illegal and hong kong police firing tear gas at for democracy demonstrators amid a general strike record numbers of activists have been arrested the chief executive warning that the city is headed for a dangerous place. it's good to have you with us tonight u.s. president donald trump is urging his country to condemn. white supremacy in his 1st

national address following 2 mass shootings over the weekend trump described the attacks as barbaric and crimes against all humanity now the number of victims in saturday's racially motivated attack in el paso texas that number has risen to 22 early on sunday 9 others lost their lives in a separate shooting in dayton ohio bringing the total death toll to 31 my fellow i'm an unemotional speech trump described to shoot his who carried out separate massacres in texas and ohio as mentally ill make the us president's call to speedy death penalties for hate crimes in to today i'm also directing the department of justice to propose legislation ensuring that those who commit hate crimes and mass murders face the death penalty and that this capital punishment be delivered quickly decisively and without years of needless to lay

these are just a few of the areas of cooperation that we can pursue in his 1st public remarks since both attacks at the weekend trump condemn the hatred in american society the shooter in el paso posted a manifesto online consumed by racist hate. in one voice our nation must condemn racism bigotry and white supremacy these sinister ideologies must be defeated hate has no place in america hatred warps the mind ravages the heart and devours the soul men women and children with gunned down as they shop to this will not stall in el paso texas people have paid tributes to the victims of the makeshift memorial overlooking the store's parking lot 13 hours later a young man in his twenty's opened fire in

a knight's life district of dayton ohio one of the victims was the gunman sr 6 others were african-american tributes were also placed at the scene both communities his left united in grief as pressure for tighter gun controls mounts in the u.s. . joining me now is our correspondent allan oversell he's on the story for us in washington tonight good evening to you all over we know that pressure is mounting for tighter gun controls in the united states now will did trot out why and today how he wants to make that happen. well before he delivered his speech president trump took to twitter as he often does and he there are proposed why not to pair tougher immigration law with background checks on gun purchases in the united states he did not really explain how he was going to go about that in

particular raised many questions because the 2 fields don't necessarily have a lot in common other than in this case the shooter in el paso was actually targeting immigrants so many questions to be raised here in his speech he did not mention any tougher gun control at all you also have to take into consideration that he promised several times background checks never delivered on this promise he so that certainly raises many questions as well it does not really look like he is going to go down this road this point he rather focused on 2 individuals in his speech he talked a lot of of mental illness about computer games blaming the media as well as sensually trying to move this topic way from the actual question of tougher gun control and we know. big presidential candidates democratic lawmakers they have accused trouble of creating a toxic climate and of inciting violence but today you express any sense

of responsibility for the hate filled language that we've heard of campaign rallies for example are americans are they taking him at his word today do they believe him . well i mean 1st of all it would not be his style in his rhetoric really to take any responsibility in particular when it comes to the events of last weekend where many people were killed across the united states instead what we heard here in his speech today were the strongest words and perhaps also the strongest condemnation we heard from him on white supremacy since he took office and that is certainly a change 1st of all in his response in comparison to his earlier reactions from just think about the attack in the city of charlotte swill 3 2 where counter protesters took to the streets against a far right protest demonstrator then an attacker in fact took his controversial

people killing one person and president trump said there were fine people on both sides all of these protests so he received lots of criticism for that essentially tried to avoid such a situation here today but at the same time brant he read from a tele from a teleprompter and that was certainly not the same donald trump that you would see in one of his rallies or on twitter where he would really incite hatred in a way that we have seen it many times before of course the question remaining is how credible is all that we've heard today in his speech you know that's a very good point all the verb. is very different from twitter trump we didn't hear the president today however condemn racism and white supremacy and i wonder will this represent a change of course for him in. the rhetoric that he has been spewing out about immigration. well one reason he might have done that

because the democrats are standing by to get some political gain from that we're nearing the 202020 elections and this is a field where the democrats have been very vocal on they've been calling for tougher gun control for a long time and for that reason the speaker of the house nancy pelosi today reminded the american voters that the democratic led house in february already passed a bill where 2 they would allow tougher background checks for any gun purchases across the united states so he might president trump might have failed the meteor to not lose ground to the democrats you to respond to that also they accuse him for fueling an atmosphere of violence of hatred and so it's unlikely that represents a change in his current rhetoric if you just wait for him to take to the next.

rally or switch with her and that's exactly right of course but not all of brazil with the story for us tonight in washington all over thank you. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world in egypt an explosion near cairo's tahrir square has killed at least 20 people and injured nearly 50 others the government initially said that the incident was caused by a multiple vehicles car crash but later said that a car bomb was involved in the blast calls to fire at a nearby hospital which had to be evacuated britain says it will join the u.s. navy in a mission to protect merchant ships in the persian gulf this follows the seizure of vessels by iran in the strait of hormuz a key shipping route the announcement by the u.k.'s defense ministry did not mention whether other western allies would take part in the mission germany has already said it will no. russian president vladimir putin has said that his country

a standstill now the protests are part of an ongoing movement to challenge chinese authority in the territory. monday afternoon and it's anything but business as usual went down. in town hong kong protesters tried to block off a straight near the city assembly. it's pure chaos placed fire a volley after volley of tear gas to try and disperse the crowds the injured among hundreds traded side fire today there's a sense that this is escalating. airways is such a big things today if only because we can never get as close to the response to the different and the disruption went well beyond the financial center there were demonstrations in many places across the territory here a peaceful assembly in a shopping mall near the border with mine lined china. plus a blockade of one of the city's metro stations and it's widespread disruption to

public transport once again it is hong kong's young lady in this action their anger and frustration growing club or participate in the movement are not criminals on time there are people who are harmed by the charani the hong kong government and also the people republic of china acrimonious taping between the protesters in the authorities as the clashes intensify. the lights have protesters moved on police stations hong kong's place chief acknowledging that some of his offices are exhausted and the city's laid a warning to tear trees on the edge of. the recent protests and marches have seen escalated biles. and up pushing a city. the city we all love. and many of us helped to build. to the verge of a very dangerous situation that is warning was made even before today's violence

intensified this general strike the 1st in decades seems only to have deepened hong kong's crisis. lead abuses sharleen shells until is on the story for us in hong kong she spoke with us a short time ago as police were attempting to clear one area of demonstrators just let the broker who supplied to the president. rather than let all of them at the watson without them to really. kill the telegraph. on this 130 bottles of 2000 for the girl however long the good call her important or the one that we plug that into not only i called her on the o'connell they're going to pull her brought them out of the streets rather out of luck and held up on the balcony one for those. i was charged chosen build their

midst the tear gas in hong kong you're watching news still to come stranded in the world's forgotten war the migrants bound for saudi arabia until w.'s funny french are about the horrors they didn't do or did trapped in yemen that's coming up in just a moment. well it is a move described as the most significant change to the status of kashmir in more than 70 years today india revoked the special status of its portion of the disputed region critics say the move by the hindu nationalist b j p government will inflame tensions in the country's only muslim majority province neighboring pakistan which also claims the territory has described this move as illegal the indian government says that the step was long overdue. outrage in india's parliament india's government stunned opposition lawmakers by

announcing it is revoking what has been the basis of kashmir's complex relationship with india for decades delhi said it is scrapping article $370.00 which gave cash missed special status on to rural areas this special status of jammu and kashmir is going to be automatically nolen void. the heavily militarized kashmir region has long been a flashpoint with neighboring pakistan the 2 nuclear powers of $42.00 wars over its both india and pakistan claim the region in full but each control only a part china also claims a section delis decision to remove the indian administered state of jammu and kashmir autonomy also includes lifting a ban on property purchases by nonresidents opening the way for indians to invest and settle there on twitter some criticized this decision by the hindu nationalist led government to take control of its only muslim majority region outside the indian embassy in the pakistani capital islamabad kashmiri refugees protested.

yesterday or question of the ability of the article of their kind any indian cities are still going to be able to grab a hand in our right kashmir he can be stupid enough. kashmir and secondly. indian occupied don't want to get me to has been dedicated to one very indian. and it is known as somebody now north korea north vietnamese rather served up well we are protesting here reject indian fights grind up back to pakistan condemned india's move calling it illegal and following countermeasures hours before the announcement the indian government launched a security crackdown in indian administered kashmir arresting regional leaders and suspending telephone and internet services now comes the risk that political and legal battles may spill over into violence on the streets of kashmir. and for more

on this i'm joined here in the big table by her money quotes one who's a professor of political geography at berlin's free university professor it's good to have you on the show i just want to ask you what we saw here is india changing the constitution without a vote so is that legal or did they do something that is constitutional no part of this but that you should mend this paragraph in the constitution was that they could be only revoked at the constitutional assembly of course mia would give consent with it that was defined 7 years ago but a year after that constitution was passed the constitution simply was dissolved so we have no constitution assam day at the moment and that's why the president and the government in india tries to work on the president's rule as they see it the president can change the constitution on these special circumstances and these special circumstances accepted by the ruling parties but not by the opposition

right and they're able to get away with it because the party is a has a majority it's in control of the party has the majority in both chambers and then over or majority there and it's very unlikely that this will be revoked in any way and are we seeing this happen soley because the party of mr modi has this power now and because we heard today that in their opinion this move was long overdue. it is a longstanding demand for movies party and it was a promise that was given so far and i think he now feels in the position that he can do this but there's a different aspect to it as well that is the domestic politics the security situation in john one is very bad and i think they they calculated that they could change the situation by allowing people from outside to come in to

question you know until today until this paragraph was revoked it was not possible for investors for businessman you to buy properties already too even if you merit it cost me a woman this woman would be disinherited so he claims that he's doing something for the women and of course but what's the what's the ultimate goal of this are they trying to change the demographics of kashmir is that what's going on that could be a process that is involved with it but that will be not so easy to change because more than 2 thirds of the population a muslim in the country barely and and the hindu majority is basically in jammu but they have split in 2 parts they have separate law doc from it has the border conflict with china. is the size of but it is not there but nobody is living in a sling but it is really a dispute which after $962.00 has not been come to

a solution at all today so we are really in the liminal state of affairs here where nothing is decided nothing is agreed upon no peace agreement is there since 1972 after the cement agreement india thinks this is not an international conflict anymore it claims that this was a part of the agreement pakistan does not accept this interpretation and so they say it's by look for an issue between india and pakistan that has to be ok so we've got pakistan in the basic. gly tug of war here over kashmir what about the people there in kashmir do they have any say in this war since many years now is that the media conference national conference which was founded under seal and they have developed it in nigeria that there could become independent of india and pakistan has got it and that is for both governments not really favorable in terms because

they think it's so. you know we've been too mation there and that been it has created a big other problem and that is the reason why so many people were killed in the last week a some people estimate that 80000 people lost their lives in india and have cost me well i'm just i'm wondering you know you mentioned war is what we're seeing happening now is that increasing the chances of a military conflict between pakistan and india well in spring in february when there was the other crisis people expected and asked me both the same question whether this is walking into. power is more likely i think they are to look at powers to why it will and i think pakistan needed the nuclear bomb very dearly to make sure that india would not be boxed we have always skirmishes on the border always stammers on the line of control is going to border its line of control since

riemann and it happens every day basically and the un forces are controlling this border you know on a regular basis and they report about all these skirmishes but i think both countries have since 1909 not the real interest since the last war was taking place to get it escalated to such an extend that many people outside expect that it might be in an option you know there is the mutually assured destruction you know game theory there maybe it works in this case between pakistan and india 1st of course and we appreciate your insights tonight thank you thank you jim. we're never going to go to yemen where more than 90000 people have died since the conflict between the saudi backed government and iran the rebels began back in 2015 millions have fled fighting in famine and despite all of this east african migrants from ethiopia

and somalia are also heading towards the war torn country as they try to reach yemen's neighbor prosperous saudi arabia but it usually doesn't work they often end up trail in yemen. corresponded has been listening to their stories. yemen is at war with itself something they know very little about. you. 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 the know many when we got into the good there was no water and no food. it was too windy. some people had to stand others were sitting in. the boat was very crowded.

that. the ones who do make landfall then have to walk for days to get desert. these young men paid a couple of $100.00 to reach their goal saudi arabia tried to find work the big ordeal certainty and instability in yemen it's completely unclear where are these migrants will end up an estimated 100000 migrants reach yemen from africa every year this migration route is less known compared to the one to europe through sudan and libya and it's cheaper but dangerous yemen is littered with landmines. an aid organization stops by there only prepared to talk off the record i hear most migrants will never reach saudi arabia most of the met the person or 85 person does that mean that it. is a war in india. 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 a month there are no jobs we can't find anything else to do but working at sea. fishing for people. makes smuggling a lucrative business he earns the equivalent of $400.00 us dollars of each migrant he tells me i'm not 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 theel pia he says he was beaten by smugglers and has no money left to continue his journey his message to other migrants just want to tell them not to come in yemen even to try to make it to make it to any country. as much as

possible. they have to stay in their home in the homeland. but the smugglers promise that the migrants we reach saudi arabia will continue to pull them even to a country that has as many problems as yemen. are just words used now in a major signing in the english premier league manchester united have picked up star player harry maguire in a 6 year deal acquire comes from leicester city and as a center back he helped england reach the $28.00 team talks of my finals british media reporting that united will be a transfer fee of nearly $100000000.00 euros which would make maguire the most expensive defender in the world while. japanese golfer. has become an overnight star after winning the women's british open now this is not only her 1st major tournaments but also her 1st competitive appearance else on to
