6:08 pm
a border with india and pakistan until long been a source of tension between the 2 nations both claim it as their territory but control only part of it china also claims a section. india says it's revoking article $370.00 of its constitution which gives the region more freedom to make its own laws compared to other indian states in neighboring pakistan politicians have been meeting to discuss their response speed is no officially invaded by india it is illegal to. step it is unconstitutional. 7 370 was a part of basic structure of the indian constitution and was started with the media dispute which is an international dispute saw me totally rejected the condemning. residents in pakistani controlled kashmir have made that clear. kashmiri
6:09 pm
activists say they will do whatever it takes to oppose the changes this is a question of political existence this is a question of. the identity also i don't think that we can take it and we want to fight it out the indian government shows no signs of backing down. jammu and kashmir is a positive india and integrity pocs about it there is no legal or constitutional dispute about it and left wing activists and you have criticised the government's actions. but right when hindu nationalists have been celebrating. kashmiris are left facing an uncertain future. let's bring in now jelani from his asia desk i mean given the standoff that we're seeing in kashmir right now how high do you see the risk of a potential military conflict. study prime minister
6:10 pm
a man who found spoke in an urgent session of the parliament today and he repeated this a few times saying that stone is not looking for a war board to nuclear nations and the consequences of another military conflict would be green but he did strongly criticised the prime minister modi he said india is following races fascist ideology on push me and he said there would be reaction inside. he hinted at more attacks and he said boxed under be blamed for that too a lot of political statements in the morning today. but i feel the pakistan's diplomatic options are quite limited at the moment i mean just to articulate that the indian part of kashmir currently on lockdown we do have the pakistani foreign minister saying it will exercise all possible options to block india's move to
6:11 pm
revoke article 370 but it sounds like from what you're saying that they don't have many options. no i mean the prime minister said we would go to the u.n. security council and general assembly because they have a number of resolutions on kashmir. very engaging the organization of islamic countries but honestly. does not really resonate that much in world capital if you look at international reaction in the last 48 all those joined. stones biggest ally so far hasn't said a word on this we haven't heard any major condemnation from you or from other world capitals so. clear in the prime minister's body language in his speech that he felt deeply frustrated that kashmiris are being kind of left to their own situation and that the world doesn't listen to pakistan so i think. diplomatic options are fairly
6:12 pm

6:14 pm
a child and that might not sound so spectacular but if you think about it for an african-american man at that time to even be able to read was to have overcome great oppression her grandfather couldn't go to school and so she she quickly realize that reading was a tool for rising out of oppression now her rise to literary stardom was both unlikely and meteoric she wrote her 1st novel when she was a 40 year old single mother and 1st the critics really damned her with faint praise as they really put her in a box that is this black female author one critic even said you know she's got some talent when is she going to get away from these black stories as if writing about black people's experiences was diminishing her in some way but she charged on she actually took that as a compliment and as praise and you know it took a while but the literary world really did come around to her at the latest when she won the nobel prize for literature and the swedish academy they praised her for
6:15 pm
what they said was her work on language to liberate language from categories of black and white i was there. they say that they ended up coming around indeed just walk us through which works she is indeed best known for well you can't not mention her 1st word to the bluest eye this is a story about internalized racism and sexual abuse it's about a young black girl growing up in her hometown of lorain ohio and this girl is raped by her father she was teased by her by the kids around her for her looks for having dark skin dark eyes dark hair and she actually prays to god to give her blue eyes and what morrison really doesn't so amazing is she really puts us in her character's minds we understand the internalized racism we even understand the trauma and the motivations of her father who rapes her which is no small feat now of course she's best known for beloved the book that won her the pulitzer prize and
6:16 pm
this is the story of course of an enslaved woman who escapes slavery but is still so traumatized that she ends up murdering her own child now back when this came out in the late eighty's it was nominated for the national book award in the united states it didn't win and 48 top african-american writers came out with an open petition an open letter saying that it should have won and after that it did get the pulitzer prize ok and she has now passed away at the age of 88 what a life and what a body of work that she leaves behind david leavitt's from w. culture toni morrison thank you. in the united states there have been more commemorations after a weekend of mass shootings with the death toll now at 31 u.s. president donald trump has called for bipartisan solutions to the bloodshed but he is facing sharp criticism from democrats who say that he lacks the moral authority to rally the country against violence and racism trump is due in el paso texas tomorrow alexander phenomena is there to support. vigil
6:17 pm
to honor the road ragers a high school student killed today in washington you know past only 15 years old bright light and quick on his feet that's how his friends remember he will always be there for me. he was a really our. he was a. 2 positive person. never negative. always happy. always trying to make the others. and i just said how you going to search. for it. we have a really strong community and everybody here loves each other we're really big family. students parents teachers they came together at horizon high school just outside apostle trying to come to terms with what they see as a terrorist attack against hispanics all over the past so residents are willing
6:18 pm
after 30 days horrific events and they are hoping that the mass murder a crime committed by an alleged white supremacist from outside the town does not give a pass a bad name after all they say this is a diverse and tolerant place which has consistently ranked one of the safest cities in the u.s. for many years. a border city with an 80 percent latino population el paso has suffered under presidents trams and immigrant rhetoric and his administration's 0 tolerance policy at the border residents say christina garcia works for a local organization that helps immigrants and asylum seekers she says some of her clients are now terrified they feel like every client that i've had interaction with they've had to apologize for what happened this weekend and i've had to reassure them that we that we are going to be a safe community but for now they mourn the dead. every day people gather at the
6:19 pm
wal-mart store where the mass shooting took place president trump is expected to visit us on wednesday we respect him because he's a person but to be honest we don't welcome him we don't need him this was a very different city and what happened there was the worst thing that could happen to us and i know we're a lot of people know that if we walk home he's going to bring a lot of people that really hate hispanic people. hate is not what should define us they say it's not what the united states is all about. and the victims of the el paso shooting are also being mourned across the border several mexicans are among those who've lost their lives authorities have said that they are investigating the rampage as an anti immigrant hate crime el paso has been long intertwined with its sister city which is across the border mexico's see about
6:20 pm
what is now the city has become a magnet for migrants hoping to eventually seek asylum in the united states but for many it's become a miserable wait which is tends to with fear. many of the emergency shelters on the mexican side of the border are full but people continue to arrive the u.s. is sending migrants back here across the border until there are silent applications are processed. this is the detention center in el paso asylum seekers describe what they've experienced there you know they sent boeing us they searched everything and touched us everywhere a woman next to me told the border guard to stop touching her but they just continued to make booking you can see it. even removed posts on a tree pads to see if she was hiding something that they mean even though men were present at us think yeah vietnam base. emily is 18 years old
6:21 pm
she would only talk to us after she was certain that no one was watching she seen a lot she fled guatemala on foot then continued by train in may she arrived in the us and was separated from my family because she's already considered an adult you know me a bit of those my mother said no that's my daughter you can't take her away they answered by saying it's a different process for her yeah you got my mother to tears and simply took me away anyway i didn't know what to do. during. you know even after being sent back to mexico and really i know mother can't stay in the same facility emily now lives in the border city of ciudad juarez along with thousands of other asylum seekers they're watching for their appointment with us immigration chicken pox is going around the center and despair is everywhere many give up only voluntarily.
6:22 pm
anyone wanting to enter the u.s. legally has to put their name on a waiting list in ciudad juarez alone around 5000 people have registered few of the new was to silence seekers even get an appointment with u.s. authorities. i mean but if it's amazing when i think the entire system is unfair the migrants have to wait for their appointment here in mexico and they're ultimately rejected that's what happens in 9 out of 10 cases anyway. the sound of solving echoes through the emergency center over your mouth is 33 years old she left us with the children and now finds herself completely alone. give me your only child it's unbearable having to stay here my whole body hurts my back my arms and they just give me pain killers nothing else. but know of you is not alone. many people here say that the conditions are terrible
6:23 pm
the realities of migration on both sides of the border are brutal. and sports news the swiss authorities have charged 4 people in relation to germany's bid to host the 2006 football world cup as you can see all over movie sports is here to fill us all in because some serious allegations walk us through them and who is under the microscope well this involves some really big cheese is in german football in particular 2 former german football association presidents involved until now they have been charged with miss leading members of a supervisory board for the 2006 world cup organizing committee over a payment of several 1000000 euros of funds beckoned is also allegedly heavily involved in all of this too however due to his ill health he's not directly affected by the revelations today his case is being handled separately anyway to
6:24 pm
clarify a little more about these charges and who's involved with prepared a report which we can take a look at right now. fraud charges against german football luminaries for 6700000 euros that legibly used to repay money for on spec and had borrowed from auditors chairman robert louis by force. louis dreyfus allegedly transferred the same sum in 2002 to disgraced qatari fee for official mohamed bin hammam swiss prosecutors said the exact purpose of the payments to bin hammam could not be determined the d.f.t. had declared it as partial funding for a world cup god that never took place these indictments were late in coming. to the killers are under time pressure on their own the 8 months left under the statute of limitations it's high time charges are filed. now swiss justice has to hurry to reach a verdict or the fraud charges will be dropped. so are they maintain their innocence
6:25 pm
and what more do we know about the indictments well they certainly are and they really come out swinging today in particular further to the campaign as being wretched and malicious also called the investigators incompetent a litany of other insults that he cast around. as well referred to the investigation as being unspeakable and so that the accusations against him will prove to be on found it now is worth mentioning at this point that this is not the 1st time that we've had allegations or even charges related to this plame and there been accusations around for a long time that this payment was related to buying votes in the bidding process for the right to host the world cup and in 2018 we actually had fun and others charged with aggravated tax fraud that case was then abandoned a few months later due to a lack of evidence like you can imagine that these gentlemen thought that the the the procedures were behind them when it came to this matter and as we've seen today that's not the case so how big of a problem is that in all i think this is
6:26 pm
a very big deal in german football firstly because you know germany in german football prides itself. doing things the right why and this very obviously goes against that the rules allegedly were not followed procedures allegedly were not followed especially when you got a lot of critical voices about qatar in the process for the qatar world cup i think that's important but secondly the 6 world cup was not just a sports event that was hosted by germany it was a real cultural moment for the country it said sorry much about what germany what modern germany is in terms of multiculturalism and diversity in terms of national pride in terms of the way that germans a seen internationally and all that was allowed to be because it was seen as being pure and so allegations like this were charges even related things like this and i think to why that reputation and tarnished the memory for a lot of german people all over motif for its thank you.
6:27 pm
6:28 pm
