long discussions to solve the problem. things world famous artist ai wei wei tells d.w.t. authorities in hong kong are to blame for the violence at the protests that have shaken the territory over the past months. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for joining us pakistan is expelling india's ambassador and suspending trade ties as a result of delhi's move to revoke the autonomy of its part of kashmir the region remains in lockdown for a 4th day now with security forces on high alert with shops closed residents say they're running out of fresh food telephone and internet connections have also been caught in a curfew remains place. all in

a heated session of parliament pakistan's foreign minister shah mahmood caressingly had this to say. i'm up we are out you go then we are linking our independent stay celebrations with the right of self-determination for kashmir east and from 3 kashmir to indian occupied kashmir and from it to all the bazaars the street towns villages and cities of pakistan we will say in one voice kashmir will become pakistan. bucket stop. ok let's go straight now to delhi and joined by our correspondent there the militia gys while the mission of the pakistani foreign minister setting out a very clear goal there how far is pakistan prepared to go to make kashmir a part of the country. well brian the 1st thing to establish is that this region has been claimed by of both neighbors pakistan and india in its entirety ever since the partition off india so marcus john has made

the scream about wanting to claim all the fish meat fought it for the boss 70 years but when it comes to how far it's willing to go i mean of course 2 wars have been reached between india and pakistan over the division and now off to india has made us move back to stan has downgraded trade and diplomatic ties with the country with india india has also responded in cottaging pakistan not to do so but pakistan is also prepared to appeal to the international community the united nations has we have been urging both regions both countries to be calm and to nought to not take up military action but right now of course pakistan has relied on international backing and the boston has continuously encouraged the international community to weigh in because they say the media should have a plebiscite as was once planned that the media be pushing to get towards of course

when it comes to india's perspective india believes and has continuously alleged that pakistan has fueled insurgency in the region so according to india pakistan would be willing to increase that but of course the line of control between india and mr bush meat and bark sound honest especially if you mean sense and the region itself is in a complete communications lock down because over the family is a midis in delhi are very wanted because they haven't heard any news from home for 4 days as yesterday there was a protest in delhi which we went to and this is what we learned from what it cost me it is. now citizen has agreed home. he does not know if he will be back because he does not know if you even some of my. food is to show me a piece under lockdown ever since india the specialist on the most. status the state has enjoyed for 70 years. on his way to the airport nasir stops by this protest held in solidarity with the she. the last he could see days ago was that

his mother was speaking and while he does not know if she made it to the hospital last words she said to me i'm not feeling well tomorrow is my appointment but there are so what i medical industry and they're the model we pissed the deployment of thousands of paramilitary forces all of our doors so she could north texas she could not reach out to the doctor i don't know whether my family's alive on or. not sit on the protestors have to see demands. it was the government's decision to lift the communications blackout. and relieve arrested local leaders. many young push mediates in delhi to work and study have joined in. they have had no word from home because we will never accept that bush meat is not come that out of course of violence that applauding him except that we have nobody is to confirm whether it's true or not this makes us all the more anxious and voted for our

families and some of these state will have to answer this someone like me was living independently for 8 years now i haven't known the feeling of homesickness for you and it's for the 1st time in ethiopia that i'm feeling homesick that i want to go home because my parents don't know why i didn't own up at the airport i don't know if they even to the airport to fetch me despite their own safety if they protest openly they don't know what else to do it. as voices for and against the government decision to vote it across the country mean itself is silent a complete clampdown on journalists and a communications blackout has meant that angle feel and frightening rumors about the safety of loved ones back home run rampant was ok it was never there yet some scoff at this one claiming that any protest against the government's decisions and by national and being students. this school pressure not to shout

down the protest against the government. propaganda of those who are you to stop the government's progress of auto what is your intent is the isis funding you are anti india foreign forces funding you what who are you. know as anger boys who were on both sides medias are trying to decide whether it is better to mobilize protests here. or try to reach their families. for nasir despite the risks he knows he has to head home he has to at least try. to make sure of port points to all the tensions inside india and between pakistan and india at this point can a further escalation between delhi and islam abad be avoided at this point. well brian in the past as well when tensions have risen between the 2 countries and

they have come very close to an escalation but somehow at the last minute a deescalation has been made possible and there was another escalation earlier this year in february but of course it's also important to point out that the action india has taken in india at mr bush me is unprecedented and is massive when compared to the last 70 years of india's interventions and india's decisions when it comes to its own parts of push me also it's important to point out that both countries are making statements through ever since this decision has been made to the markets on primeness to iran khan is expected to speak indian prime minister entering into more these speaking to the nation over the radio later this evening and this is that's also something that is not the norm for both of these are of course about the issue of kashmir so a father escalation is something that the region as well as international community is worrying about however i do have to point out that according to india this has

not been an act of aggression according to india this move has been about integrating push me further into the country about bringing development about granting bushmeat is opportunities of course but spector's on the opposition claim that this is not the right way to do it so we even have to wait and watch to see if both countries choose to stick with diplomatic and triggered actions or if military escalation is possible for the along the line of control between the 2 parts of india adding this to me and park stand up and start mr joyce wall for us in delhi thank you very much for ya. it's to the u.s. now where president gul trump has visited emergency workers and survivors of the mass shootings in paso texas and dayton ohio where sortie one people were killed and dozens wounded protesters in those cities have blamed trump's rhetoric for inflaming racial tensions in america will have more from washington after this report. touching down in texas donald trump stepped into

a border city with both the local politicians and the local community that come out to deliver some clear and emotional messages. where he says matters he's a person of how we're so when people listen to you think you've got to be aware that what he says means something on a day when let the next immunity thing across the country are afraid that they may be next today of all days we must hold the president accountable for the pattern of racism that has defined his administration from the people to politicians many sought to simply clarify what they feel the president has been slow to do. in this case we are dealing with domestic terrorism. we're dealing with a white supremacist we're doing with racism for most of our recent history it's kind of flowed underground in this administration it's out in the open and it's coming directly from president trump who in no uncertain terms has vilified and

tried to dish human eyes the people of this community another of the president's would be replacements picked up the thought as grief and anger turned again to the question of who will achieve real change on gun control. he seems more concerned about losing their vote. beating back this hateful ideology he says guns are not the problem in mass shootings the issue is mental health it's a dot hatred. is it a mental health issue. donald trump signed off his day now past 5 refusing to acknowledge any anger toward him. or the love the respect for the office of the president. it was i wish you could have been in there to see it and it's a time when polls suggest a clear majority of americans support introducing background checks to buy firearms

the enthusiasm the love the respect and also the telling let's see if we can get something done and republicans want to do it and democrats want to do it he also refused to seek a visibly increased appetite for gun law reform. ok let's go straight to washington where did abuse pablo foley alias is standing by for us good morning pablo president trump went to dayton and el paso to console the families of the victims and unite the shattered communities there did he manage to achieve that goal amidst all the political acrimony we saw there. well it depends on who you speak to brian of course the white house prior to donald trump's visit to dayton and so said that donald trump would be the healer in chief it was a very well as choreographed and staged well staged visit to both of those

cities donald trump matt survivors and medical professionals in private the focus was meant to be on meeting those but later photos of president own trump meeting those survivors and medical stuff was released now there was not any contact between president donald trump and the protesters in particular in el paso there was a significant number there and in fact they became quite heated down in the texan city books as president donald trump avoided mentioning even the protesters he instead charged against what he referred to the fake media and of course the democratic party and their public the political intensity of the of the attacks against president trump have been steadily increasing with former vice president joe biden now the democratic party's leading presidential contender accusing him of

quote fueling a literal carnage how much is this sentiment shared by the democratic party leadership. well as we heard in the report there as well as you know joe biden did not mince his words he charged against president trump as did many other of the candidates in fact we heard from cory booker he blamed donald trump for encouraging hatred we also heard from betaworks from texas he suggested that. you know he said it was insulting for him and the people of done in fact that he had made the trip down there we also heard from senator elizabeth warren she pledged to pass some serious legislation and have some stinging words as well against donald trump virtually all the candidates in the democratic party were you know shared the similar message in that they believe. a lot to answer for

with regards his comments in recent days and weeks leading up to these 2 attacks in dayton and. we have seen some indications over the past few days that these shootings could lead to bipartisan action on gun control is that a possibility. i mean it's going to be very difficult brian of course there have been voices in particular in ohio in fact of course that's where the city of dayton is the republican governor there said that action must be taken and we also heard from a few more republicans in the state they being quite critical and gone against what is quite we'll say. regular kind of comments from members of the republican party with regards to gun controls there has been

a lot of mention of red flag laws and it does appear in fact that many republicans are in favor of those what are they they would be stricter controls in the sense that of course can issue an order where police officers or the police can take weapons all somebody who is potentially going to use those to harm people. like i said it's going to be very difficult to pass through the senate in particular considering that it's republican a republican majority there thanks so much from washington. let's preview now on some of the other stories making the news at this hour predator rico has sworn in one of us has this us territories new governor she's the island's a 3rd new governor in a week after the carter selo resigned in response to mass protests his initial replacements appointment was declared unconstitutional. new data has

revealed a surge in deforestation in brazil's amazon rain forest with some 2200 square kilometers cleared in july that's more than twice as much as was cleared in july of last year the officials who released that data are feuding with brazilian president highballs an r o over the scale of the 46. i'm least 3 people have been killed and 8 wounded in a double suicide attack in northeastern nigeria 2 women suspected of being members of the boko haram is in this group blew themselves up in the town of. boko haram has been repeatedly using female suicide bombers to attack targets like mosques. a group monitoring the conflict in syria is reporting that there have been new clashes and it live province after the government withdrew from the ceasefire agreed just last week the truce was meant to protect the 3000000 people living in

the region and the latest fighting has led to uncertainty for those who have returned to it love. it or him ismail has decided to go back home to its did province despite the recurring asteroids. 3 days ago he and his family moved back into their home. they had fled to northern syria where fighting has ceased but when the cease fire was announced last week they decided to come back here. we're not counting on the ceasefire we know what the russians and our side can be like they are traitors but we couldn't stand that anymore in the north when the ceasefire was announced we came back to our home with our children. he has good reason to be skeptical for civilians the locals and fighting are mostly short. a day after he came back home bombs fell on a neighboring area just 20 kilometers away. the syrian government canceled the

ceasefire because terrorist groups had launched multiple attacks including against the syrian army. but it for him is staying put despite the recent attacks. yet in the past can't describe how i felt when i got back here when you're away you miss your home you miss the earth and the trees i missed everything you. can see before abraham hopes that his family will be spat on that the war will finally come to an end. this is deja vu news still to come on the show the urban gardeners enjoying a taste of country life in the city now they're facing growing pressure from city planners who want to rezone their green oases for development. but 1st to hong kong where hundreds of people have staged a protest outside the city's space museum demonstrators using laser beams to

protest the arrest of a student he was in possession of laser pointers which the police regard as weapons lasers have been widely used by pro-democracy protesters in recent weeks to obscure the vision of police officers a world famous chinese artist and dissident ai way way has been here in berlin my colleague kate brady spoke to him about the situation in hong kong. thank you for joining us the unrest in hong kong has certainly reached new levels in recent days and we now have one chinese government official warning protesters that they shouldn't underestimate china's immense strength is that beijing warning that it may step in to deal with the protests directly i think. government. they crash them i need time and a moment under the. same tone when they're dealing with you by the.

voice of their for use in hong kong which is a much complex situation and i think they are just bluffing now but in deeply in their mind they would do it if they need to but do you think that the protesters in hong kong can continue to support their movement without any dialogue with the hong kong government and what are the options on the table right now for the hong kong government to i think of the. hong kong government is there really part of the central government listen to the central government i don't really want to have a new space for not going to shooting that's why. being continued for so long on the call so much to hong kong. and i are buddies life and many young people already lost their life but the hong kong government

simply doesn't hear the never prepared to really have for discussion and to solve the problem. but looking ahead now whatever the outcome of these protests do you think that something has fundamentally changed in the psyche of the hong kong people i think is a good question and i think the new generation of south for education self educated this through this struggle and they're more determined that they're very smart as they're very rational and they are not going to be easy to back off and they have a clear demand if you ask them much of the hong kong arm and to really not to call it. draw it by their rather peers for them the situation and not to use the police. to release all those being arrested the demonstrators those are not too much to ask i would thank you very much. now though eons of city

dwellers around the world can only dream of enjoying their own outdoor space for many a balcony or a roof terrace is the best solution they can find here in berlin there's a long tradition of green oases right in the thick of the urban jungle the so-called colony guards are often passed on through generations within the same family but city planners are increasingly keen to get their hands on this land for development perfectly then look can you see the getting some color they're lovely these allotment gardeners a happy when they're tomato plants they're fruit it's paradise to the clue it's who has been tending watering and harvesting here for 32 years. and. we're actually here every day almost without fail when we're done with everything else the housework all the doctor's visits you can find us here.

on your trip and. for the clue it's the plot a half leased from the city. it's their 2nd home they pay $300.00 euros a year footage many other hobby gardeners do the same there are $70000.00 such a lot mens' in building alone more than any other european city. if you want one of these garden lot so you'll have to be very patient waiting lists are long and it can take several years to get a lot the garden colonies have become increasingly popular among germans and it's easy to see why when you look behind me most colonies are right in the middle of the city the kluges plot is part of an allotment colony bed surrounded by apartment buildings the land is sought after the city wants to build a school here and the garden is designated to be torn up to make room so will their

black berry hatch be dug up by a bulldozer but the glutes are very upset. and their limbs would be losing here is the quality of life for young. i don't know what we'll do then a moment widely acknowledged on. the other allotment colonies are also slated for destruction land is limited in the growing german capital which is why the city cece no other option and to sacrifice some of the green spaces. void and i get the mission because we don't want to make life difficult for allotment gardeners but will need to repurpose some of them in the coming years because berlin is a growing city that need space for schools daycare centers and sports grounds and a few allotment gardens about one percent deet have to make way for those plans in the years ahead for. the kluges intend to fight. they have

joined forces with their neighbors in the colony. they agree that schools are important but feel they should not necessarily be built here. the allotment garden colony has already been squeezed to make way for apartment buildings once before now it could completely disappear the end off a 102 year old green oasis. statue reminder now of our top stories at this hour kashmir remains on lockdown after india revoked its special status as the crisis deepens pakistan has expelled in the years of basser and suspended trade talks. u.s. president donald trump has visited victims and emergency workers in the 2 u.s. cities shaken by last weekend's smash suitings protesters and leading democrats of houston president stoking. this is due to the news of next focus on europe spotlight on people will have more
