in the united states and all around the world a very warm welcome thousands and thousands of pro-democracy activists use their sheer 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 say here is an idea of what frustrated airport passengers an angry protesters were saying at hong kong international i think. we didn't expect they'd go all the way inside but it's ok because they're well behaved they're actually very nice they're not intimidating. it's just that our flight was
8:06 am
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 avoid this just from mob mode i'm not voidable 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. ho ho international airport is one of the easiest airport in the wall is that over a 1000 of life's depart and arrive at these aviation hope everything the aim of the post has this is not just to paralyze the airport itself they want to stress that the months and their anger towards the excessive force used by the police police office says there now we're pressing the demonstrations by taking a more hot light approach to deploy all kinds of problems for weapons more all that was result in more serious injuries despite the aspirate from the pension basing

it's not making any compromise the product compromise to the public but instead they accuse some of the 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 war balance act to achieve their goals. t.v. conger their will as a civil unrest in hong kong continues to swell what next for asia's financial hub feel is your list duty kiersten tat 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 a half months now of these protesters they're more determined than ever but the authorities are also entrenched in their position where is this headed right well. what i hear from protesters in hong kong is that there's
8:08 am
a sense that they want to what they call fright together rather than stop and give up on their fight because there's the man said just in your report the goal is freedom it's liberty in the classical sense of the word 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 existential for them yes but it's also existential for the government in beijing but also the authorities in the territory as well it's an existential 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 their people's own lives is decades old at this point it 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
8:09 am
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 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 or the hong kong government and china wants to bring and that was
8:10 am
really the beginning of this entire way of that we're seeing now which is culminating in his 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 it's extraordinary hong kong is a very self managed sophisticated intelligent place you see how polite the protesters are and generally of course there's violence going on everyone sees and knows that again it's a question of desperation i mean i think people really have to 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 the beijing government never intended one country 2 systems to mean what hong kong people thought it would make 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
8:11 am
who is so conspicuous by absence where is carrie lamb. yeah good question where is carrie lamb she seems to think that she presents 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 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 p.l.o. garrison and hong kong which is about $6000.00 strong and 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 mean china can throw any amount of soldiers at 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
8:12 am
and you know i whine about the volatility of volatility of that situation perhaps even spreading to taiwan i think it's overall regionally quite volatile journalist . lower thank you so much thanks. security forces in india administered kashmir allowed some muslims to walk to local mosques alone or in pairs to pray for the festival of history an unprecedented log down that still forced most people in the disputed region to stay indoors on this islamic holy day. was was well some of these services political overtones because of the surprise we heard kishen of muslim majority kashmiris a special status last week after outdoor prayers at this mosque worshippers in the capital of syrian garb briefly protesters in the street on their way home
8:13 am
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 said and i do i'm 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. you know i think the world is already paying more attention there are a couple of reasons i mean one of the reasons is that our history this is. disputed territory india is asserting its will by changing the constitutional arrangements that have essentially governed this territory for 70 years pakistan is
8:14 am
a party to the dispute they have downgraded diplomatic relations and launched a diplomatic offensive so the whole sort of reader right now is you know in a state of flux and so obviously the world should pay attention 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 out over the decades it essentially gave the kashmiris at least in theory a certain amount of walk on me or 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 shmoo statehood has been taken away the indian government has 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 by someone appointed by delhi.
8:15 am
do you think that this sudden move by india to revoke the autonomy status of a kashmir could it 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 for a week people have 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 often just optimism but i think those of us who are watching it from afar are very aware that things really could erupt at any moment right because 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
8:16 am
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 said 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's kind of hard of hearing you talk * about humanity. and fox honey i know you. being on heat on t.n.t. you think cheney has an indian arm for. your age. in matter for a hearing urging you to war and you have to know when you're an adult body sunny medieval like he hasn't already busy mom you know i hear you.
8:17 am
whenever you're coming to. our many many friends from pakistan and i am from india and war is not something that i'm really fond of i am p.g. arctic so i'm sorry if i'm going. to people who do love me and have no meat but i think that all of us how disorder. middle ground that we all have to wrong just like you probably do as well the way you came out metering mountain of my dining out i will hear from come to you. all right 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 included this here is that kashmir is just such an emotive and stunningly emotional topic why do you feel bull.
