Project al jazeera lets break out the top stories right now this department of justice has applied to seize the Iranian Oil Tanker grace one ensure profits for the ship was seized by British Royal marines last month with the ron accused of violating Oil Sanctions against syria trying as held military drills in a sports stadium just across the border from hong kong maneuvers took place as antigovernment demonstrations continue in the territory china says the protest movement has reached near terrorism. Prime minister Narendra Modi has used Independence Day to say the removal of india administered kashmir is autonomy is to benefit the people of the region he says its government so filled a promise with the decision despite facing criticism as kashmir has been under a security lockdown for 11 days now. The dow jones has suffered its worst loss of the year and the 4th largest single day drop on record for the u. S. Market an extra 800. 00 points or 3 percent lower asian markets also dipped in the wake of u. S. Losses it was driven by a growing fears of a possible recession in the United States and. Esthers have made a major shift to the bond and gold markets which are seen as safe havens during times of market instability say michelle our chief strategist a principal Global Investors she joins us from london we appreciate your time so much so Merrill Lynch says theres a one in 3 chance that a recession is is coming do you see it that way. When i think you have to remember that most recession models are any point in time will show that theres a 20 to 25 percent chance of a recession so that clearly clearly risks have increased in recent weeks the chance recession it may be defective and is no actually that high from our perspective we dont see a recession on the horizon for 2020 but certainly you know the risks are building up and it may be that 2021 is more likely what are the factors that are it at play here actually let me let me rephrase that let me be more specific thats very general question do you think that the trade war between donald trump in china and his policies seems to change from one day to the next do you think that that is whats driving some of the volatility in the market. I think its its playing a large part you have to remember that theres a number of various factors that have been pushing down growth in the Global Economy since last year including the leveraging from china kind of a couple of weaknesses in europe and then this coming up from the sugar high from the u. S. Tax cut last year now on top of that the trade war has really started to weigh on businesses in terms of their Investment Intentions so weve seen couple spending decline quite significantly now the latest round of threats of tyrus although there is a pause in it it does mean that businesses are getting a little bit more worried that this trouble could continue and extend over another year pasta 2020 u. S. Elections and maybe further out than that and thats a fear that is really pushing out pushing down growth now and that were seeing the weakness from chinese data to now on top of that weve actually got real concerns in europe especially in germany and those factors together i really pushing up the risk of recession that if we do see the trade or extending weve really business is putting off their Spending Plans investment plans then i think yes the chance of recession does rise quite significantly at this stage though from where we are now i think its too early to say that recession is on the horizon for 2020 ok so as you all see it as you said that if one is coming you think its maybe more likely 2021 that is a long time away doesnt have to be a 4 kong foregone conclusion are other things that can happen that can stave that off from actually happening. Well the Central Banks around the world are trying their hardest weve had the Federal Reserve cut rates already were expecting another 2 cuts at least this year from the fed were expecting another very large easing package from the e. C. B. Weve seen asian Central Banks were to cut rates and kind of across the world they are working the problem is that wont Interest Rates get as low as they are they become less effective so we have a bunch of policy really struggling to impact the real economy fiscal packages would help europe its its very difficult political situation there to actually push through fiscal easing we may see it in the u. S. At this stage is difficult to say but i think of me as contract the hardest and of course if we were to see an end of a compromise an agreement in the trade will that would help very very much to number of businesses and investment plans thank you so much for your insight and i do think its interesting that you pointed out that generally theres always a 20 percent chance of a recession so that kind of puts things in perspective thank you very much. 100000 people are expected in south Koreas Capital seoul to mark the 74th anniversary of liberation from japan the legacy of japanese kornel rule continues to create tension traders fictions by tokyo and south korea has led to countermeasures and anger among the public and japan protests have included a renewed calls for an apology and compensation for forced sex workers during world war 2.

Throwing Household Waste away in shanghai is a lot more complicated than it used to be rubbish has to be sorted into several categories including wit and dry its not optional its an order from the government and it seems to have caught on quickly. This garbage recycle rule is great for both the citizens and the country were used to it as not trouble for us at all its like when im cooking i automatically separate the kitchen waste and other waste its a habit now at sit times people take their separate ways to bins that have been placed in communities around the city the contents of then collected and taken for recycling composting or incineration for Power Generation businesses also have to abide by the new laws if they dont they could be fined up to 70000. 00 the motivation behind a program like this would be applauded by most but the result so a sense that the government has missed a step out and that not enough emphasis is being placed on educating people on how to reduce waste in the 1st place in 2014 china declared war on pollution its made significant gains particularly with air pollution. But with rapid economic expansion came a boom in consumerism a growing waste problem which is the governments next target it wants a standardized nationwide rubbish sorting system to be in place in the next 6 years and shanghai is seen as the big test the citys residents produce more than 22000. 00 tons of waste per day among the contributors is chinas growing love affair with Food Delivery Services which is now a 70000000000. 00 Industry Experts agree that education could be improved but the new initiative is a significant step china is still coming on from.

Putting stuff in the bin but in the right bin thats thats a big jump. For people who are. The to school be when the novelty wears off and the volunteers keeping an eye on the process and no longer they have for now the government is serious about tackling chinas waste problem and people have no choice but to follow the law when hey al jazeera shanghai.

The headlines keep it on aljazeera people in power is next after 25 years of affording whirls waste china for the global cycling industry into chaos. The growing pressure of agreement skies it is resulting in change we bring you the stories to the shaping the economic world we live in. Counting the cost on aljazeera. Its well known that the United States exports billions of dollars worth of homes to its allies which isnt as widely understood is that many of the guns it sends into use in the middle east. The remission manufactured in Eastern Europe so how do the supply routes function and waves of the weapons go in the 1st of a special trip across investigation into u. S. Arms sales Giuliana Rufus has been to investigate. Well there really were a bargain i dont want to meet again or were very i know that hes a. New york market controlling the. June 2007 efraim given rowley a 21 year old arms dealer from miami beach is negotiating a 300000000. 00 ammunition for the u. S. Plan to go on. His albanian contact because the tributes is secretly recording the conversation he wants to prove to verbally knows that the seller has links with organized crime. Problem i dont have a choice the u. S. Government or. The United States needs weapons for its allies in the wars in afghanistan and iraq. The guns must be kalashnikovs and other soviet style weapons its what it allies are used to. Speed is of the essence. A year after the coup with give a rolly. Tribute sky is dead many believe the albanian mafia silenced him to stop him from speaking up about a pentagon deal gone bad. Tributes kostecki rise to a scandal that was supposed to change how the American Government lies weapons to its allies overseas but the question is has it we set out to investigate just how these weapons find their way into some of the most fragile states on. This is david peck whos he used to be did rowleys Business Partner the story of how the 2 young amateurs from miami beach turned into International Arms brokers was so incredible that it became a hollywood blockbuster. They supplied the pentagon with 40 year old chinese ammunition that was stored in albania on board during any business with the us but what works with the chinese weapons were under us sanctions so they repackaged the ammo to hide its origin. In 2011 after New York Times expose a different went to jail but the quds got away with house of s. So you guys didnt really have a background in that you were just 2 young guys in their twentys why did you get contracts to supply arms and you mean why did they give us the contract. Well they gave us the contracts probably because we were very very competitive we were what they called the best value to the government. Who says the wood oaks movie failed to tell the whole story he insists the pentagon knew all along that he and his partner was supplying sent to chinese ammunition. His claim supported by documents that surfaced in court. They kept on taking deliveries i think like 3 deliveries a week of 4 aircraft loads of ammunition for like 4 or 5 months after they found out it was chinese. Who says the pentagon was happy with the arrangements until the media got hold of the story how important was it for the u. S. Army to get quick supplies operational necessity is a term that the military used when they wanted to say that they got to get this done one way or another and that meant that they were willing to overlook certain procedures and rules and safeguards that the administration had put in place. As its this operation on the says that the drives the u. S. Government to employ private companies it allows them to be one step removed because a lot of these suppliers in Central Europe and. The eastern bloc may not have great reputations they may have supplied other people you know that have committed atrocities if they only deal with u. S. Companies who go out and then do their own deals and then the u. S. Government could wash their hands and say well we didnt know where it was coming from fast forward to 2015. Americans supporting another war in the middle east but in syria its supplying arms to rebels not 2 state forces. Again the weapons us soviet style easy to use and so common in the region theyre hard to trace if something goes wrong. When i still controlled territory expands u. S. Arms supplies stepped up. And plays that congress has now voted to support a key element of our strategy a plan to train and equip the opposition in syria so they can help push back these terrorists this is exclusive footage of what one of the pentagon secretive projects looked like. Again the u. S. Government uses private companies to train its allies were going to examine the outside. These men are highly experienced new fighters mike doherty and francis no we you know. They were in bulgaria to train on subject sell weapons that would be supplied to Syrian Rebels it seemed like a straightforward mission. But it would cause no we you his life. Friends is no we you is survived by his wife and 2 young children. Yes im giuliana she has agreed to meet us. Were joined by mike doherty no we use training. He was present when no we was killed. I was about 5 or 6 feet away and as he approached the launcher he literally raised the round and as soon as you started to slide it in and it detonated. And thats when everything just went white for me. Instantly it read well into errant way i was thrown into a concrete wall and you know the blast effect threw me back down against the ground and my hand was split down here and hanging in the other hand was had a big chunk of metal and then i just remember looking up and i saw our other colleague and his hand was hanging in his arm was he just shattered or just tore up i started to to flip myself over to crawl and i start crawling towards and then i passed. The multimillion dollar pentagon contract to train and equip it was received by a Company Called purplish shovel but it seemed to be insufficiently prepared for the task. And mike say there were problems right from the start the awarding of the contract happened very quick and there were a lot of things that we we questioned why are we not doing medical why are we not doing threat briefs and things like that it felt very rushed i remember francis saying that it just crashed and it wasnt we really didnt understand the scope of what we were getting into. My tells us the official investigation into what exactly happened in bulgaria seems to have stalled. Its still not clear what caused the missile launcher 2 miles functioning. To the u. S. Governments urgency to supply weapons mean safety procedures were ignored once more there wasnt until i would say over a year later that we learned that the ammunition was over 30 years old and over the last 30 to 40 years where was a stored what were the conditions during that storage and were they doing the right things to ensure that it was properly taken care of and that we dont know my can as suing the company i was requested to travel to an interview was declined the Company Continues to receive u. S. Government contracts it seems like the government just wants to put layers over this contract for so people dont really know much about it so we can do things outside of the military that are maybe a little bit more shady and. Meanwhile the convert supply of weapons from south Eastern Europe continues. Observers have noticed that a small airport in riyadh croatia has become a major hub for the flow of arms to the moves of the middle east. We have come here to find out what type of weapons are sourced by the Us Government and how they are transported. Because. Of the launchers you can spottable garion rather missiles you can spot mortar shells. Yelena is a member of the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network together with the organized crime and corruption reporting project they have spent 2 years tracking the pentagon secret weapon shipments into syria we have set up a joint investigation this one was produced in serbia its a chaotic a machine and up in the syrian battleground the Us Government publishes information about federal contracts online. Yelena and her colleagues have used this database to calculate the u. S. Governments expenditure on soviet style weapons. Since 2015 until 2022 pending will spend or 2200000000. 00 u. S. Dollars what do you know about the roots how weapons from balkan countries go to the middle east they go through turkey jordan provide qatar and saudi arabia so thats all u. S. Allies u. S. Allies exactly exactly yeah and i had been investigating a plane the departed from reactor airport 5 days earlier which she believes carried weapons to the middle east. You can see the tongue fight for there are the words that this plane took several times and you can see places such as r r ion gotta exactly and also it has flights number mark which is very specific for the planes that are actually transporting military goods. This is footage of the plane yelena tracked it has been loaded with crates at least 20 u. S. Military flights have left this airport in the past 6 months. And when we arrive at the airport we to see a plane. This is one of the busiest airports when it comes to playing such as this one. Is from the same airline and i have been investigating various really is pretty nuts its just in the middle of a traffic junction. They are about to take all. Their reckons there theyre probably. There is this huge fights that are happening its running it all they need is there the. Flight data proves that the majority of these companies planes from reoccur go to keep u. S. Bases in the middle east. From their weapons can be funneled to syria. This ng the largest pentagon supply of weapons for Syrian Rebels is bulgaria to the e use poorest country thats a change in fortune. Gary is arms factories fell quiet after the end of the cold war but the wars in iraq afghanistan and syria brought new demand. Factories where we opened a new production lines added to supply weapons to the worlds most fragile regions. We have come to bulgaria to find out more about the weapons the u. S. Government buys for it syrian allies. Sought what is home to state arms manufacturers that. It is also where france is no we was killed in june 2015. The ems that has been struggling to modernize and not fatal accident wasnt its 1st incident. A series of explosions rocked one of the companys plans in the time before the contract as a rival there were no casualties but production shut down for over 2 months. When we contacted v. M. S. That to find out more its management declined to speak to us. 2 leading trade unionists did agree to meet but did not want to go on camera not just the workers of refusing to talk to us but even the local t. V. Station what we do know is that the workers a. Huge amount of pressure if v. M. S. That fails to complete an order their bonus is a cut was growing International Demand for weapons the pressure is on to supply as false as the company can produce. We follow in the we use footsteps his training partner mike doherty had told us the fatal ammunition was 30 years old and we want to see if we can find out more. Vs average where the training took place is just over there its where no real die but we can stop because its a militarized zone. Instead we have to the warehouse where the ems that stores its ammunition. Its where the big explosions took place. Were told to leave immediately. That is really for you to shoot with in case if you insist. We stopped to film in a nearby village instead to its. Local residents here where fact it by the explosions was so big that some houses in this village had to be evacuated. The local Police Arrived within minutes. They order us to follow them to the station will be a question im threatened with prosecution. It is clear that the authorities dont like any questions about bulgarias arms exports. But one person did manage to proof their v. M. Said weapons. Garion journalist illyana gay tansey ever. Arrived in aleppo as fighting intensified in 2016. Syrian Government Forces had almost cleared the rebels out of the city. In a desperate bid to defend their positions Opposition Forces responded with a barrage of artillery and rocket propelled grenades. And the Syrian Regime retaliated with air strikes. Hundreds of civilians were killed in the crossfire. The suffering biljana witnessed was unforgettable. It was constant firing. Day and day night. One of the rockets cellphone next to us over a mother that shouts there were big heads in front of me. A local journalist 2000000000 or 2 a house that had just been vacated by the owners for a friend. This is truck is from a given this is the basement which was used by jihadists to thaw huge quantities of weapons this weapon manufactured by a. With a country of origin. When local people realise that i came from bulgaria the 1st question i got was this why are sending quote balls to queue house here in the. After publishing his story an anonymous source directed illyana to a large online stash of hacked documents. Taken together they proved that hundreds of flights had transported weapons from balkan states such as well gary and serbia to conflict zones. Many were paid for by the pentagon. At least you have any idea of who the perpetrators are among the papers where and uses certificates a kind of contract between buyer and seller the buyers must confirm they will not transfer the weapons without informing the seller they are a vital tool to stop the global spread of weapons according to the. U. S. Special Operations Command but the weapons and that up are in the hands of jihadists in syria. But she says the seller bulgaria bears responsibility to know when bogey area as a country this informant that our weapons and up in warsaw and in countries which are and bargo we should stop immediately exports. Since their discovery the documents have been verified by international experts. So what is bulgarias position on these exports. The government declined to come and so we turn to the only bulgarian official prepared to speak to us it is possible to say that is the best look but most of the world steffan board and the chair of is the co president of the association of bulgaria and defense industries. Only one of this one is possible to destroy tank on the later move because most of its members export arms to the middle east and he shows us some of the nice Defense Products they have to develop for private and government clients. We want to know if bulgaria is at fault when the u. S. Special Operations Command or socalled passes the weapons on. As a member of the e. U. Bulgaria is required to stick to the arms control treaties many of the contracts are fulfilled with the americans putting so as end user but it is known that the weapons are going to syria if you receive and use it for their country who is with a good reputation. It is impossible to say i dont like to see you so it is it is not responsible for a boy in a country that is possible for the country who make this and use it you make the do you or the state who is good reputation after that say. Much but i have a job on. The hill is growing evidence that this flow of weapons is having unintended consequences. Analyst have found heavy machine guns rockets and even Missile Systems from bulgaria and romania in the hands of ice. It is now estimated that over a 3rd of all weapons used by the group in syria and iraq women a fact chip in Eastern Europe. So are u. S. Arms exports inadvertently empowering the terrorists. In london a group called conflict Armament Research carried out Detailed Analysis into how isel has obtained its weapons. Allowed im james bevan is the executive director. The vast majority of weapons a marked kalashnikov almost always on the left hand side of the receiver and they have a serial number. 7 spends much of his time in the middle east documenting recovered weapons. Most have been captured by iceland battles from their enemies including weapons taken from rebel groups equipped by the us. To date conflict Armament Research has used serial numbers to trace 40000 items. Is counted transfers have introduced weapons which they didnt previously have access to and thats a positive boost for their friends a pack of o. T. This is an r. P. G. 7 launcher designed in 1940 s. But some of the rockets which theyve acquired and sensibly through the us trying and Quick Program of the tandem rockets which basically converts the 1940s Weapon System into something that can defeat a modern tank so weapon that was supplied by the Us Government may well end up being pointed at us soldiers yes absolutely serious blowback there are serious buyback but not all of weapons were captured in battle a significant number were handed to iceland by friendly fighters from u. S. Equipped groups says the missile from an anti tank guided Weapon System its transfer history is production in bogus area gets transferred across to one of the syrian Opposition Forces is then diverted to Islamic State we pick it up less than 2 months after i left the factory door once more its a weapon manufactured in bulgaria by v. M. S. That board by the pentagon by a private contractor if you supply weapons to nonstate actors you have very little control over what happens to those weapons particularly in a situation like syria. Our request to the u. S. Department of defense for an interview was declined but we did get a statement saying americas Partner Forces are vetted and that the final use of the weapons list checked. Meanwhile u. S. Support for rebel groups in syria continues. And to defeat eisel america has chosen a new ally the president authorized the department offense to equip kurdish elements of the Syrian Democratic forces as necessary to ensure a clear victory over isis in iraq and syria. But kurdish rebel forces have their own territorial interests and a new front has opened in a region already fractured by war. In a recent escalation to u. S. Allies turkey and the kurds have been pointing guns at one another. And more lives are taken every single day. The spread of weapons is a global problem and even more so if exporting countries avoid accountability. Look so dreamy it sounds ugly in scares people from americas high streets to mexicos on the walls with the sides and who controls the other side people in power of the smuggling route and test the ease of acquiring untraceable weapons on american soil the weapon that was designed for war and it took you about 5 minutes to buy a few moves you americas guns of mexicos cartels on al jazeera congressman are you interested in stopping crime business updates brought to you by Qatar Airways going places together.

Yes it lost to no more than around 10 minutes this Court Hearing and the attorney generals boy looked particularly ruffled because he had effectively 2 requests to make war on the request to actually release this tanker allow it to go in a direction along the mediterranean we dont know where precisely at this stage because we never got the details on the other hand he also informed the judge that he had heard from the department of justice a number of contacts made on wednesday night in the in the early hours of thursday morning 0136 to be precise he said that he wants to proceed with both of those requests it was rather rather confusing to say the least the judge also seemed a bit bemused by it all and said really that the u. S. Application hadnt actually formally been made and he would want to consider the original application which the gibraltar than gibraltarian attorney general wanted to make so what happened in the end was an agreement for an adjournment so 4 oclock local time this is going to be we assume a formal application from the u. S. Department of justice a pretty last minute thing to say the least because the u. K. Had evidently come to an agreement for major is possibly with the iranians for a guarantee that these 2100000. Barrels of crude would not go to syria in line with the sanctions imposed by the European Union sometime back so we have a situation where no one is quite sure which way the attorney general will push this and which way the judge will go were going to find out later andrea and i guess you know theres an awful lot done sasson see surrounding this but in order for the department of justice to make this application for the detention order to be continued presumably theyre having to provide some sort of additional evidence to suggest that this was indeed breaking sanctions. You hit the the key point one assumes there has to be some evidence those referenced by the lawyer for the at the attorney general michael law mass that document was sent last night thats wednesday night to gibraltar whether thats in new intelligence or Something Else is unclear but where does the u. K. Stand in all of this has had a british flag tanker detained by the iranians or a reciprocal action and no doubt whatsoever on that so the u. K. Wanted to deescalate the situation at the gibraltar government had said they wanted to deescalate the situation with an assurance being made that the actual us sanctions wouldnt be broken now potentially quite the opposite is going to happen will be an escalation in any doubt about whether or not the United States had an interest in all of this and had some part perhaps has been already diminished because you know the its clear that the u. S. Wanted to take a handle on this using the attorney general of gibraltar to do exactly the opposite from what he intended to do. This morning in actual fact 4 of the 28 crew including the Indian National captain were given were lifted the bail restrictions on them even his passport was handed back the indian captain so there they were thinking they were going home in the next few hours now its really unclear and weve yet to hear from the defense lawyer the lawyer representing the crew as to what he makes of all this all right phenomenon heat i hasten to add to what the u. K. Government make of it all right for now and to thank you very much indeed well go back to and of course as soon as that Court Session reasons but now lets go to terror on the iranian capital our correspondent there i said beg i said it might be too early for a reaction from tehran what do you know. Well it is quite a bizarre turn of events but i think that this will anger the iranian authorities when this tanker was taken over the iran said that this was an act of piracy that it was a hostile action and it was assigned to them that the u. K. Was aligning itself more closely with the Trump Administration now this intervention from the United States is going to frustrate them because the voices coming out of iran over the last few days were positive they were quite confident that this tanker would be released and the u. K. The position has always been that this is a matter for the Gibraltar Authorities but that seems to have changed and the u. S. Wants to get involved and relations are already tense theyre already exacerbated weve got 2 british warships in the region weve got america point together this coalition in the strait of hormuz in the gulf and things are going to get possibly more tense if america is handed this tanker. All right as a big thank you very much indeed. Right on to other news now and a large number of chinese Paramilitary Forces have gathered near the border with hong kong as antigovernment protests in the territory continue there these are pictures that were fed from Reuters News Agency and theyre showing as you can see multiple. Armored vehicles on the border city of shen j. N. Beijing says theyre just there to conduct a military exercises which were preplanned on wednesday night police dispersed the territories latest protest this time outside a Police Station and earlier in the week youll remember demonstrators managed to shut down the airport and meanwhile the u. S. President donald trump hes weighed in on the crisis in a tweet of a personal talks and tied the protests to a u. S. Trade deal with china. Lets go live now to Hong Kong Robert reich is our correspondent there and these images. Of these paramilitary vehicles so many of them rob i mean is this is this being taken in hong kong as another sign of intimidation a visual threat if you like coming from the chinese of which weve seen many before. Indeed they could be significant martin weve been hearing in the last couple of weeks reports busy of power and military activity videos released from official sources in china of Paramilitary Forces suppressing demonstrators in exercises with the demonstrators wearing black t. Shirts which we know is the black t. Shirts worn by the demonstrators here in hong kong giving orders in cantonese the local dialect to disperse and also reports of vehicles being seen on the road lots of military activity and maneuvers but this is the 1st time weve seen such a concentration i think of scores of big holes all in the one place and also what gives these pictures or credibility is the fact that they were released by 2 western News Agencies filmed surreptitiously it seems at a stage we know within the last day or so theyre very recent and at a place shown journey as you mentioned there which is right on the border with hong kong it doesnt necessarily mean that any kind of. Any kind of arrival of Paramilitary Forces from china or even the Peoples Liberation army of china is imminent but it does seem to be china putting in place the resources that it would need if its going to fulfill this pledge not to let south hongkong spiral out of control that as it puts it if china did feel as though the collapse of the government was imminent there was going to be widespread social disorder throughout the city even worse from chinas perspective that the social disorder here was somehow going to spread like a contagion to cities in Mainland China then we know that china places great store almost to an obsessive point of view in social stability that it would carry through on that threat if it thought that was its only option and it makes sense from chinas perspective to be prepared for that martine to write him rob and were looking at the. Pictures of the same time as we talk to you rob and they are pretty scary and what sort of impact if any is this buildup if you like of language tough language rhetoric coming from beijing as well as as as these visual images i mean what sort of impact these having collectively on the protest movement. I think its true to say that theyre generally has been a buildup of anxiety even fear over the weeks that this protest have gone on you know when the hong kong leader kerry lamb stands up at a press conference almost in tears saying look here we are in a very grave situation we are almost looking into the abyss there are large sections of the hong kong population who dont believe a word she says but when she says that i think its true to say that anyone here in hong kong of whatever political persuasion could all those agree with her on that that yes the situation is very grave but everyone here also knows and china knows better than anybody else that sending in Paramilitary Forces or the p. L. O. The Peoples Liberation army is a huge step that carries with it a huge Political Risk it could undermine confidence in the government of the city it could backfire very badly in terms of negative International Reaction for chinas standing it could also it could also backfire it as much as it could instead of causing riots cause or not try saying you could turn a crisis into a calamity and it has to be said that we are not quite there yet yes the airport was closed 2 days ago today its open yes police do use more violence sadly more peoples protesters are being maimed more officers are being hurt but at the end of these running battles at night it is midnight comes along as a lot of protesters drift
