let's talk about bank indonesia first. the bank wanted to cut to support growth, could they actually do it, looking pretty vulnerable to the ongoing trade tensions? >> i think that is a very valid the on and that is why community at this time is kind of split on whether to take a rate cut or not. we have seen other banks front load their rate cut. if anything, the trade situation could only worsen from here, exerting more weakening pressure on asian currencies, including indonesia than at rupee. they may as well front load whatever easing it is planning to go ahead with. that is why we are looking for one rate cut today. shery: let's talk about indonesia economy. we are now seeing some month data that show signs of moderating domestic demand. how is it looking out there right now? >> yes, that is a bit of concern. so far domestic demand has been the pillar of strength for the indonesian economy. although they are quite exposed to china in terms of the final demand from canine for their exports, it has been one of the rare

also in the programme: government buildings are set on fire in papua, indonesia, as protests continuever claims of racial discrimination. and this weekend marks 80 years since the start of world war two. we'll be looking at how the conflict shaped the world we live in now. voiceover: live from our studios in singapore and london, this is bbc world news. it's newsday. good morning. it's 7:00am in singapore, midnight in london and 4:30am in indian—administered kashmir, where a bbc investigation has uncovered allegations of brutal beatings and torture by soldiers. it's been 25 days since the indian government withdrew the region's semi—autonomous status which led to a clampdown on dissent and thousands of arrests. kashmir is claimed by both pakistan and india, with the nuclear armed neighbours controlling different sections of the state. stripping indian—administered kashmir of significant autonomy is being seen by some as a drive by the hindu nationalist government for more control over india's only muslim majority state. despite a near communications blackout, sameer hashmi has been in

how would you assess indonesia's handling of the situation?to quell it? jokowi the indonesian leader has been very active in this. he is put in a lot of effort. when he first started government in 2015, he was very active in putting a lot of measures, he put in the peatland restoration agency and he also promised he would release a lot of data that we were lacking to understand fires properly and in the beginning he did do a lot of what he promised however along the years, i suppose because of different priorities and good weather, this focus has dropped off. however, the weather became dry again this year and we see that because of the discontinuity of these efforts, we have high risk again. who is most affected by this? in malaysia and singapore we get the haze but the people on the ground in riau other areas are the ones who have epi up to thousands while here we have a few hundred. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: we look at the increasing numbers of wild boar that live in hong kong also on the programme.

schools of indonesia with a lot of propaganda.they looked at chile, striking fear into the hearts of the indonesian regime. this work because many recent immigrants who were ethnic chinese decided to not pick up citizenship and many went to china to become civil servants seeking indigenous leadership out. so there are two different groups to one group that's been there a long time and had a deep interest in some persistence of the colonial system and another very recent group that was more susceptible and willing to be part of what may have been considered the new order of being pro-china, serving china's interest in everything. so i think this is a simplification clearly to become a problematic term because it seems as if they are undifferentiated chinese and one thing i want to say about this is it's not as if the u.s. or british policymakers or observers have no sense of the nuance. the reports say precisely that, there are some who have been here and they will be the ones that jump on the bandwagon, you expect to be a vast tro

bank of indonesia expected to leave its rate unchanged at 5.75%. next guest expects another cut early in the fourth quarter. thanks for joining us. will they cut because they need to, or because they can? the bias is quite clear. the have space to reduce the policy rate further because of inflation. they have argued that growth momentum needs to be sustained. i think the timing will be dependent on external developments and if external risk or high, i think that would be a justification for them to stay on hold. -- iwant expect them to respect him to have a pregnant pause today taken into account the external backdrop. bond markets have priced in a cut for today and we've seen some surprise moves from the bank of tylan, even the r.b.i.. i'm just wondering what do the traders have wrong here or are the economists missing something ? euben: one thing markets are arguing in indonesia, bond --lds have been a little it's still relatively high, the 10 year at more than 7%. from that perspective, given what we've seen in global bond markets, there is an a
