and although people in mainland china don't really sympathise with hong kong people they might be inspired by an example so if the hong kong people were to get significant concessions then people in the mainland would say well what about big you know i'll do the same thing and i'll get what i want and not would be. an existential threat lisa's a communist party of use of good in china is good to get your insight thanks very much for your time from toronto thank you. on to our other top story and india's supreme court says the government needs more time to restore order in indian controlled kashmir the court has been hearing a petition against india's move to strip the disputed region of its all ptolemy and revoke special rights millions of kashmiris have been false to stay indoors for a 9th straight day without working phones television or the internet hundreds of people do find the security lock down during the holiday on monday to protest against the indian government's actions. in indian controlled kashmir. almost no major international news outlet has been reporting on the

of financial confidence isn't that not just for the region but for mainland china and china in particular and it's now been 3 months. 3 months since these kinds of protests having on the status of the territory. is absolutely we've been actually hearing a lot of warnings whether it's at the political level or coming out from big business men here about the impact of all what's happening on the economy here in hong kong just last week the finance secretary was saying that he's actually lowered the g.d.p. forecast for 29000 from between 2 and 3 percent to now between 0 and one percent also several banks have taken full pages in some of the newspapers here to warn about the consequences of these protests and the financial consequences that these protests are already having the economy here in hong kong one bank going even further saying that it had incurable drop in profits. about 75 percent in the 1st half of this year alone it says it's also difficult times because you have the protests here on one side and then you obviously have also. trade war between the u.s. and china and all this is

but carrie lam, the chief executive appointed by mainland china to rule over that part of china, hong kong in particular, is standing very firm against the protesters not necessarily condemning them this morning, but just repeating that she is siding with police and that they are using appropriate protocol so this is certainly a situation that we are going to continue to monitor throughout the day carl, i'll send it back to you >> sue, thank you for that, as we continue to look at some of these live pictures. and to sue's point, carrie lam, art, has used the words "panic" and "chaos" and has said the city risks sliding into an abyss. how does it affect the u.s.'s approach to a trade deal if we start to see real crackdowns on these pro-democracy protesters >> i think you'll get calls for the u.s. maybe not to intervene but maybe threaten sanctions or something else to quiet that down what you've got to remember is that the chinese are pulled two ways hong kong is a major financial outlet and you have major financial companies. if it looks like hong kongis becoming destabilized andthey

so you know where in jenin you're right behind me that is essentially the gateway from mainland china into hong kong we've got a railway station we've got a bus station and also an area for a pedestrian traffic that flows into hong kong and this is a busy busy place during the normal time what's interesting going to those paramilitary forces and equipment that we've seen from state media this came out on monday it's very interesting c.c.t.v. and a local newspaper that's run by the government put out images and video of armored personnel carriers being driven down here into shenzhen they're being housed in a plastic stadium just on the outside of the city now what we know is that this is clearly a signal you know the rhetoric coming out of the government the central government in china shifted also on monday we heard them relate to what's happening in hong kong as terrorism that there are terrorist activities associated with with the protests they also firmed up their position with with kerry lamb they say that she has our full support this the central government and stand behind all o

protests there we understand there are more and more checks at the border between hong kong and mainland china but of course these are very worrying times for simon chang's family . still ahead an al-jazeera the muslim in mom and christian pastor who are trying to end decades of fighting in northern nigeria. and thousands are evacuated as wildfires rage across the spanish holiday island of drunken area. however i get the impression that the seasonal rain in change in china this year hasn't really followed his normal course and at the moment is precious little feud by satellite or in the forecast for a good part of this eastern side of china for shanghai down to hong kong the dry couple days coming up the rains offshore taiwan the northern philippines getting the bulk of it the cloud is building to the western united in northern vietnam not toward sichuan that could well produce a significant amount of rain during certain particularly and it is edging this way but still looks dry in hong kong and shanghai right now the monsoon trough itself are made its major advances nice slowly dropping bette

the primary gateway from mainland china into hong kong. a constant flow of arrivals and departures many people here are concerned about the protests in hong kong from both sides of the border than just a way to play hong kong is not safe anymore that's why i'm coming back my family was one of my safety the protests to coast inconvenience to local people i hope. to make the protest post made an inconvenience to local people i hope this would be ended assume this is too bad for the image of hong kong syngenta received a great deal of international attention earlier in the week when state run media air video of columns of paramilitary vehicles and soldiers whoring into the city there due to hold courting to the government a large scale exercise soon their deployment clearly meant to send a message to the protesters the father of china's reform and opening movement 41 years ago deng xiaoping used to send jenna to launch his economic reforms it was also his idea for the one country 2 systems approach that's being heavily tested just across the

how would you characterize our relationship with the government of mainland china right now and how might that relationship affect our response? >> well, you know, right now we've been in the escalating trade war with china that's gotten more and more acrimonious. if you've been looking at chinese state media the last several months, they've become adversarial and hostile towards the united states, towards president trump because of that trade war. they're not going to be in a mood to listen us even if president trump were trying to address it which he's not. we're at a low point in terms of our trade relationships. this is a chinese government that doesn't care much for what the united states has to say on this issue. doesn't expect president trump to speak out on behalf of human rights. that's a related issue here. you see india asserting direct control over cashmere. you see the crackdown in hong kong. i think you see leaders to act with a degree of impunity. that should be concerning to people. >> ben, thank you. i'm joined on the phone right now by ambassador wendy sherman. former un

many are coming from mainland china, traditionally, to hong kong to shop.ould other countries react? if things go really bad, other countries will have to come out in favour of the protesters, and some of their views on democracy, and freedom. we saw several demonstrators waving the american flag, for instance. will the united states say nothing? it is one to watch. and the flag carrier, cathay pacific, had to lay off a pilot and two other workers who are publicly supporting the protesters. that was seen as a move on behalf of the chinese authorities saying to hong kong, cathay pacific, this is not tolerated. so we shall see. financial times. let's talk about this story that you are an expert m, this story that you are an expert in, you are doing lots of research into this. the use of facial recognition technology in the uk. this is an interesting story about this huge development at king's cross in central london, and they have been using it for quite some time. it is not clear why. yes, well, there are so many questions about this. we don't know how long
