the hardships under the communications blackout plate even when things are being plussed. the best is produced called traditional painters the fight to save their dying fall can they win the battle against moscow produced. by british welcome to. it's good to have you with us the fight for democracy in hong kong is going regional less than a 2 off light away in taiwan it is being viewed as a test of the one country 2 systems principle it's the arrangement china has in hong kong and believes it could be applied to taiwan which it views as a break every province i know this week in taiwan hong kong. activist joshua wong

said this principle had collapsed a significant comment ahead of october the 1st which will be the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china what we hope. people october where one country. we've. got hong kong. and hong kong to fight. where we are aware of the. hong kong. and that sort of diversity has already been on display on this island in june mostly young people rallied in support of the pro-democracy protests in hong kong the shore support isn't hard to understand if you look at where taiwan is the chinese mainland and taiwan are separated by the taiwan strait i just only 131 kilometers wide at its narrowest point and china has never let go

of its claim over taiwan so what's the connection between these claims and support in taiwan for hong kong's voters movement did have a correspondent william yang joins us from hong kong with a possible explanation william good to see you is there a link is there a connection between china's claims over taiwan and support on the island or hong kong's protest movement. china's playing over taiwan especially since the president's office in 26 thing has really intensified and that really drives a lot of the younger generation in taiwan to really become more aware about their need to defend taiwan democracy and tolerance eat and in 2014 when the umbrella movement broke out there's also a similar awareness in taiwan that's brewing and so this time around when the whole

anti extradition bill movement broke out in taiwan hong kong there the sentiment in taiwan is definitely also paying a very close eye over to what's happening and developing in hong kong especially when the protesters are repeatedly reminding their peers in taiwan that don't believe one country 2 systems a claim that china and also some pro china politician our nation and offering to taiwan these people as the way to maintain filippi in the cross trade relations so we're more too soon as we were becoming the test bed for the one country 2 systems principle of this is being watched in taiwan. yes exactly the one country 2 systems plane was originally a very strong point for a lot of the proton of politicians in taiwan but however ever since the whole

anti extradition movement escalate and really 5 develop into a very widespread 3 month long. protest in hong kong people in taiwan the pressure on these approaches to politicians have also rising in taiwan and this has forced them back down and backtrack their original position and then you know kind of like corner more and to align their. position with the mainstream opinion which is to reject and turned. the offer of accepting $160.00 s. and an offer which i know i wonder what does. that put taiwan because china does don't recognize taiwan's what the voices exist in taiwan for independence and now do supports the hong kong focused movement has done taiwan on a collision course with china. yeah definitely as we know ever since

pearl independence democratic progressive party took our in 2060 the relationship between taiwan and china has really frozen and this time around the awareness and the. eagerness to really defend and highlight taiwan sovereignty has really rise and this really has not helped improve relations but rather china has recently come out and condemned the taiwanese at mission for openly supporting the supply demonstrators of hong kong on the streets remember speaking to us from hong kong thank you very much for that thank you. and taiwan support for the hong kong protesters again articulated earlier this week in an essay from taiwanese. choose an influential voice in the chinese speaking world she compared the protest movement in hong kong to a small and fragile egg facing a wall of steen she ended with this how do we treat them eg we bend down gently

pick it up and hold it in the palm of our hand we take care that we don't break it that i say was widely slammed in china our critics are saying ignores the violence but better to protest as trying to stave from media accuse us of turning a blind eye to 3 months of chaos in hong kong writing blocking the airport writing in the subway and setting fires on the streets how is that an egg. and this year kept it a lot more succinct writing simply freedom democracy rotten egg. it's been one month since india's hindu nationalist government stripped its part of course me off its special status that move accompanied by a security and communications clampdown that's to continue it's a clampdown that's left me residents desperate to get in touch with the outside

india's supreme court has now ordered the government in delhi to respond to a legal challenge calling for an end to the blackout. until then the only reliable way for kashmiris to reconnect with the world is to fly out. to the nepalese capital katan do and the traditional artists who live there they're known as. families of painters and sculptors were depicted gods for religious celebrations but the distinct art care for the creative by hand is easily replicated by modern technology cotland or is flooded with ma spring to posters and postcards but one couple is trying to save their dying art form. mari learned how to paint the goods and goddesses with the elders of her family she says she took our name synonymous with the engine tradition of religious prints making in the hall she knows all the tricks of the trade dedicate taken weeks to required
