10:31 pm
the protesters are repeatedly being called and treated like cockroaches by the legs don't believe that the hong kong police have been doing according to. you bob such dehumanization is a psychological money creation that was one sees by hitler's regime younger. demonstrators have repeatedly used dangerous weapons research into a tuck police officers the police are also suspected she often cited on computer frauds and framing the protesters for the sax. to snap just bad or to save face. something much bigger. also on the day a slight easing of restrictions in india administered kashmir but security forces for the most part kept the dispute it reaches the biggest city center in our gar lock down on the 2nd day of the islamic holy festival. that we've been easing up
10:32 pm
the most in that one moment you might even mine with the next moment you will have to live it good not knowing what is going bad woman when we didn't meet your home as you left. your viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world a very warm welcome thousands and thousands of pro-democracy activists used their shared numbers to show. shutdown hong kong's busy commercial airport it was an old fashioned sit in and it halted all flights coming in and going out all part of the anti-government protests that have swept this city over the past 2 months china which holds power over hong kong says the protests have begun to show quote sprouts of terrorism words that legal experts fear could lead to the use of anti terror laws and harsh crackdowns and here's an idea of what frustrated airport passengers
10:33 pm
an angry protesters were seeing at hong kong international the scene. we didn't expect they'd go all the way inside but it's ok because they're well behaved they're actually very not just they're not intimidating. it's just that our flight was cancelled but i think we'll be able to go home tomorrow. is a kind of you can call in campinas all selfishness to post drop people but they are we cannot afford to just some off and no i'm not going to go because we fight for our final goal that is all freedom. and our correspondent she becomes spent the day the evening and night at hong kong international airport. hotel international airport is one of the b.b.c.'s airport in the wall is that over the bows enough life apart and arrive at these aviation help everything the aim of the post has this is not just to paralyze the airport itself they want to stress that the month
10:34 pm
and the ngo too was the excessive force used by the police police office says they're now with cresting the demonstrations by taking a more hard line approach deployed all kinds of crowd control weapons more often was result in more serious injuries despite the aspirate from the tension beijing is not making any compromise proto compromise to the public but instead they accuse some of their protest this as a terrorist was just not going to cool down the situation but more likely to embrace the public and oppose has this or even some of them they may resort to reward balance act to achieve that goals. t.v. kong and their will as a civil unrest in hong kong continues to swell what next for asia's financial hub feel is your list. low is from hong kong she has reported extensively from china and is currently based in berlin so happy to have you here with us in the studio d.d. one of the world's busiest airports a ground to a halt today by this action 2 and
10:35 pm
a half months now of these protesters there more determined than ever but the authorities are also entrenched in their position where is this headed well. what i hear from processes in hong kong is that there's a sense that they want to do what they call fried together rather than stop and give up on their fight because as the man said just in your report the goal is freedom it's liberty in the classical sense of the word of real liberty and they feel that's been taken away from them and will be increasingly taken away from them in the future so it's really a fight to the end however they can fight to the end it's existence so for them yes but it's also existential for the government in beijing but also the authorities in the territory as well it's existence for them in the sense that they don't want to give up they don't want to share power with the people i mean we must remember that the fight for democracy or for liberty if you like in hong kong for more liberty and more control over over their people's own lives is decades old at this point it
10:36 pm
began before the british left in 1907 and it's you know it's deepening now the only way that it could possibly go away as i see is that it will be driven underground by state violence well let's talk about that because if beijing were to decide to send the people's liberation army some of it hasn't done that yet but some people are expecting that might be the next move what implications would it have for the future of the one country 2 systems one country 2 systems is a strange. beast or bird of whatever you want to call it when nobody really exactly knows what it means in its concept it was sort of dreamt up by the chinese leadership as a way to get hong kong back and concious i think that one country 2 systems is already mostly dead in the sense that there were promises made for growth of democratic system of direct elections of universal suffrage of being able to choose your own leader those promises if you like has been blocked since at least 2003
10:37 pm
when hong kong people 6 years after the handover came out half a 1000000 of them to protest against anti to protests ago. national security laws that china wanted all the hong kong government and china wants to bring and that was really the beginning of this entire waves that we're seeing now which is culminating is fight that 16 years 16 years but how unique is this type of prolonged protest that we're witnessing right now it's unique i mean we are seeing protests in venezuela in moscow in georgia call is extraordinary hong kong is a very self managed sophisticated intelligent place you see how polite the protesters are and generally of course as violence going on everyone that sees and knows that again it's a question of desperation i mean i think people really have that backs up against the wall what they're looking for is compromise from the hong kong government compromise from the beijing government to essentially deliver what they promised they would deliver now the fact that they're not doing that tells us i think that
10:38 pm
the beijing government never intended one country 2 systems to mean what hong kong people thought it would meant i don't think they ever intended for hong kong to have a different political system from china in the long run let's talk about the person who is so conspicuous by absence where is carrie lamb. yeah good question where is carol lam she seems to think that she her presence her public presence would only inflame things further maybe that's true she's genuinely deeply disliked i don't know where she is i mean the hong kong government should answer that question but could the hong kong government have done more should the hong kong government do more to you know find a settlement to this because it is coming to a head it absolutely is and you know you mentioned earlier about the military come again i think if something like that were to happen would probably see a combination of the pier like arison and hong kong which is about $6000.00 strong and the people's armed police which is the militia which are in china who are supposed to deal with domestic disturbances. working in combination like that i
10:39 pm
mean trying to control any amount of soldiers that the situation and it would be an absolute international catastrophe i mean the price china would pay is high optics of course not so optics are terrible and you know i why about the volatility of volatility of that situation perhaps even spreading to taiwan i think is overall regionally quite volatile journalist. lower thank you so much thanks. security forces in india administered kashmir allowed some muslims to walk to a local mosque alone or in pairs to pray for the festival of this during an unprecedented log down still forced most people in the disputed region to stay indoors on this islamic holy day. god god well some of the services had political overtones because of the surprise we took
10:40 pm
ation of muslim majority kashmir's a special status last week after outdoor prayers at this mosque worshipers in the capital one syrian guard briefly protesters in the street on their way home communications and internet access were cut off for an 8th day by indian forces. celebrating it in kashmir at a very uncertain time and what does the change of status of kashmir mean for the people in the valley like to welcome now to the program a sudden do a wall street journal columnist and a fellow at the think tank known as the american enterprise institute a very good day sir good to have you on the show now many over fur to kashmir as the forgotten conflict should the world be paying more attention now now that india unilaterally removed kashmir's autonomy status and i think the world is already paying more attention there are a couple of reasons i mean one of the reasons is that obviously this is. disputed
10:41 pm
territory india is asserting its will by changing the constitutional arrangements that have essentially governed this territory for 70 years bob is the un is a party to the dispute they have downgraded diplomatic relations and want to diplomatic offensive so we called for a reader right now is you know in a state of flux and so obviously the world should pay attention and is paying attention to what has changed for the kashmiris. well a couple of things you know the the constitutional provision that was removed even though it had been whittled down over the decades it essentially gave the kashmiris at least in theory a certain amount of walk on me over which of the laws passed in the rest of india they could accept or reject that has been taken away and even more dramatically because mary sent the new statehood has been taken away the indian government has
10:42 pm
temporarily and the former state of them would push near in the indian union has now been divided into 2 different union territories which are essentially federally administered territories which will be run directly ready by someone appointed by delhi. do you think that this sudden move by india to revoke the autonomy status of a kashmir could backfire. you know we don't know right now it certainly could backfire right it's been a week so far there are hundreds of thousands of troops there the valley is literally on lockdown people have not been able to use their phones or we people haven't had access to the internet. so far things have been quite calm there hasn't been some but you know we haven't we're really going to really see how the people feel about this and what this really entails once some of these restrictions are removed so i think in india the mood is of just optimism but i think those of us
10:43 pm
who are watching it from afar are very aware that things really could erupt at any moment my cause i mean the kashmiris are kept in the dark and cut off so we don't really know what's going on there right now the major question now is how will pakistan respond to these events let me talk for a moment about a sign of just how emotions can be stirred up a bollywood actress a priyanka chopra found herself at an event in l.a. and was called a hypocrite over a pro indian military tweet now chopra tweeted this back in february earlier this year have a listen and we'll continue right after that. so it is kind of hard hearing you talk about humanity and peter fox funny i know you didn't. he come on eat on dan do you think you. need an arm for. your a little tap in matter and hearing regime used to warn if you bought
10:44 pm
it is knowing when you're an adult body sunny medieval like he has a body feeling busy mom you know i hear you. whenever you're coming to. and many many friends from august. and i am from india and war is not something that i'm really wanted to but i am patriotic so i'm sorry if i'm going. to people who do love me and have love me but i think that all of us how disorder. a middle ground that we all have to wrong just like you probably do as well the way you came out around here not dying out we're all here for. happy are there was a little testy to say the least of course you can debate you know about how wise it is for any celebrity to weigh in on such sensitive topics the reason why we
10:45 pm
included this here is that kashmir is just such an emotive and stunningly emotional topic why. well you know for both countries the board in the end by it was done is kind of says something about their self definition you know for india even though it has a hindu majority it's dark to secularism it's a secular state without any state religion and so the idea of having a muslim majority state carries great symbolic value because as you know in 1947 when the british left the subcontinent was divided between india and the creation of this new country going to pakistan which is an islamic republic for baucus than you know they see this as the sort of unfinished business of partition why is it that this part of you know of what was formerly british india why is it the this part of that land mass even though it has a muslim majority is with their hated enemy india and so will abide be sonny's this
10:46 pm
is really going central to their not only in terms of terms of how they imagine themselves but to their diplomacy to the fact that the army plays a very large role in pakistan r.t. because the fishmeal conflict is so important and now they see india tightening its grip and i think for them this is a sense that something that they have held so dear even though they haven't been able to do that much about it may be slipping out of their grasp prominently and so there was a literally i'm going to push a little bit back on that mr de may because you know the kashmiris are also not very happy with what has happened are they haven't been consulted by india about this latest move i mean they basically usurped their country without telling them anything and took away their autonomy so let's talk about the kashmiris they're kept in the dark they're cut off they don't know what's going to happen next who is helping them. look i have no argument that your question was why is this something
10:47 pm
emotional for india and pakistan and i was attempting to answer that i'm not exactly sure what your pushback is about but yes absolutely there is no question and we talked about this earlier that the kashmiri people have been i mean in a way that caught up between these 2 much larger countries and the indian state has used heavy handed tactics i think that both india and pakistan have sort of seen this is a prize in their own terms and haven't been really talking about the interest of the arab people so i look forward that wright said not to do may of the think tank the american enterprise institute thank you sir for joining us. thanks for having me. turning to central america now guatemala's conservative candidate has won the country's presidential election it was forced time lucky for 63 year old 100 and he is now tasked with taking on a u.s. president dollar trump over an immigration deal that few politicians in guatemala actually like. a 100 jemma tae looks
10:48 pm
pleased and relieved after 3 failed attempts he finally won blah tomorrow's presidential election little girls know it's been 12 long years 12 years of wanting to hold this position and not because i'm ambitious but because i have a mission. but it won't be an easy ride 2 thirds of all guatemalans live below the poverty line gang crime is rampant corruption even more so amy hempel believe people leave here for the same reasons there are just no prospects here. even with a university degree you can't find a job in the city that if. we want to security most of all fewer criminals and thugs that we need to protect our families the media. know it's up to gemma tate to make good on as per. thomas says he won the election is a conservative law and order candidate with hard line positions he's pro death
10:49 pm
penalty for criminals and vehemently opposed to same sex marriage and abortion. but his greatest challenge looks set to be the controversial migration agreement with the u.s. become a taste predecessor just agreed to it in july and only under great pressure from u.s. president donald trump. this deal declares guatemala a safe 3rd country which must take back all migrants who pass through the country on their way to the u.s. the new president would like to avoid disagreement you see the boys it get good boy stuff this agreement is not good for us how are we supposed to take in foreigners when we don't have the capacity to take care of our own people. i think the u.s. will have to modify the migrant deal if they had that committed to it. they would. 100 jemma to his victory is widely celebrated here in guatemala he'll be put to
10:50 pm
a serious test when he's sworn in next january. and more on the importance of this election now for martin there i skate he is a journalist who covers central america good to have you here in person the eternal candidate has finally what is he the game changer what does his election mean for guatemala and the region all of basically he's. conservative politician he's part of the traditional political class so i don't think he's going to be a game changer at all i think the fight against corruption for chess been very important. but also for the region visit as might actually come to a complete stop and. he has. talked about how he's gonna take the main problems of the country like poverty like the violence so you don't. no above that and i guess in general it's very bad news for the country and for the
10:51 pm
region because you won't see major changes coming right and what guatemala needs is change or at least predication of the violent crime that they're seeing there is he the person who will implement the asylum deal that his predecessor signed with the trumpet ministration well i mean he's he's been saying during the campaign that he's against the deal that he won't implemented however he volunteered also as a till january 2020 so by the time he takes office the agreement might actually be in full swing however right now go to my. mate till the constitutional court of the country the rule about the room and. i guess we 1st have to wait for the step and then you can yeah can i just briefly what this deal entails just just broadly speaking well broadly speaking it means that central
10:52 pm
americans who try to. get. in the united states they will they can be sent back to guatemala and we're talking about hundreds of people that is a substantial amount of people there but can guatemala really be considered a safe country well i think that that's been the discussion that has been going on and in my opinion it's quite ironic to perceive got a model as a safe country because you have. you have snow on you or as have a dorian's fleeing their conference but also go to monza by the thousands fleeing guatemala to look for a better life in the states they're fleeing the violence they're fleeing. but like all for party unity. to consider going to save the country in my opinion
10:53 pm
