3 days of violence in the indian capital has killed at least 20 people nearly 200 others have been injured as hindu crowds wielding iron bars targeted muslims on the streets of new delhi the muslims were rallying against a new citizenship or that they say discriminates against them other demonstrations against the law have been going on for months tony betty reports now from new delhi. The suburbs of jeffery bad and bad jim bora in northeast delhi have become battlegrounds in the fight against indias citizens amendment rule the 1st successive day Security Forces fought with protesters both for and against the law. This man says he was shot in the foot by Police Shotgun pellets why would anybody even if i was standing with my mother and sisters protesting peacefully and police and people the mob by foreign entities theyre firing tear gas shells one person was shot in the chest im not a shot in the hand at the same time as me. Another wounded used to sped away on a motorbike. Its incidents like these which have drawn thousands of young muslims to join the protest they are angry at the lack of control by the government and are suspicious of the police we i discuss the police from police because police supporting damn police supporting hindus not muslims. Police are being criticized for not intervening in stopping the violence against muslims often simply standing by and watching. Videos on social media seem to show please helping hindu nationalists collect rocks and other images of officers apparently beating muslims no one policeman says so you want your freedom and then beats him here other images show mosque being vandalized a muslim property being damaged hindus also complain that their temples are being damaged and their property destroyed by muslims images on social media are always difficult to verify who what where or when but in this situation is adding to the belief of muslims here that these attacks are both coordinated and with the compliance of the police. On tuesday thousands of armed Police Including special forces and Rapid Reaction units were on patrol in a show of strength but muslims here dont feel protected they feel threatened especially for the youth. The number of those killed and injured in clashes is rising and indias leaders seem to have no solution the state has created a situation of violence and allowed it to manifest for me it is easier than i thought i am that its unfathomable to allow your own people to die like that takes a certain time of it i know this area has become ground 0 in this divisive fight now in its 3rd month and many fear the turmoil is going to get worse before it gets better Tony Berkeley aljazeera jaffer bad ne down. Lets bring in correspondent elizabeth purana who is live in new delhi liz good morning so overall is this beginning to take on religious overtones. But thats certainly what we have been seeing over the last few days peter because of course the protesters the people whove been against the citizenship amendment one. Is widely seen as being discriminatory against muslims socially in the north east in the areas that were seeing the violence and the protest is. A lot of them are muslims and it was a hindu politician from the countrys ruling by the theater jump the party who made those comments on sunday asking protesters to leave demanding that police clear them and saying that if they dont well you just wait till donald trump leaves and were going to take matters into our own hands and it was that politician and his hindu supporters who did attack the muslim crowds and then that led to you know both sides then attacking each other and so that is the danger that we are seeing now being played out elizabeth thanks very much.

Predictions on the china experience im looking at particular at the amount of time that it took to get from the start of this outbreak all the way through to the peak and it is they reckon that based on that of 2 months to that timeline then south korea still has a long way to go its you have to bear in mind that it was only this time last week and it does seem like a long week that south korea was dealing with cases in of a few dozen its now well over 1100. 00 so you would have to conclude that south korea still has a long ways to go rob thanks very much well coronaviruses reached at least 5 chinese prisons more than 550 inmates a sick the authorities believe it was brought in by guards who shared a bus with people whod been to a local hospital do you want what you cant some Prison Guards did not report after having contact with people from affected areas in who be the failure of complete isolation cause the spread of the virus missions and.

In south korea the Health Ministry has announced a 169 more infections mostly in and around the center of the outbreak of the city of new 1200 people are now focused on 3 days of violence in the indian capital has killed at least 20 people 200 injured after a hindu school with muslims in new delhi. Protests against the tensions citizenship law tony burke he is our correspondent outside a hospital in northern delhi where some of the injured are being treated 20 what kind of injuries to people have there. A lot of gunshot wounds a lot of book shot they call it from shotgun pellets stone injuries rock injuries that sort of thing. The death toll at the moment is reach Something Like 18 but we expect that to rise throughout the course of the day in Something Like 250 people have been injured that this is one of 3 hospitals in northeast delhi which is handling the casualties no casualties so far today but that may have something to do with the fact that for the time being the whole thing is sort of cooled off a little bit because the original sort of protest started with a sit down sitting by a group of muslim women that blocked a road that cause and some frustration from certain hindu nationalists who then threatened to remove them physically the police eventually went in last night and persuaded them to leave for their own safety thats moved away that actual sort of flash point now has gone but there are several questions about that because this may be seen as something of a victory by those hindu nationalists whove been pushing this violence for the last 3 days and they if this sets a dangerous precedent because if they can do this here. Northeasterly you can do it anywhere so theres concern about that and also the entire issue of this whole thing is begun to change a little bit in northeast delhi at least because this whole protest against the citizens of men act was across the board across all religions with all minorities participating it was a civil rights issue whats happened in northeast delhi is become a religious thing hindus against muslims and that is what the Muslim Community says the hindu nationalists want they want that narrative to go forward they want not to go on from here they want to blame the muslims and put pressure on them so its a very murky situation at the moment it is calm but there is still concern about whats going to happen in the coming days because theres no solution to this and this still anger and frustration deep anger and frustration about this citizens amendment acts ok tony many thanks on kongs government has unveiled its largest relief fund in over a decade to meet the demands of antigovernment protesters permanent residents over 18 years will be given cash and votes salary and property rebates and low taxes for companies the government hopes it will increase local consumption spending spree will lead with a deficit of 50000000000. 00 us dollars hong kongs economy has been battered by the months of protests and further hit by the corona Virus Outbreak clark joins us live from hong kong. Will this be enough. Well of her nose but to poor chad the financial secretary said these are extraordinary times require extraordinary measures and as you mentioned its a 15000000000. 00 relief deal its cutting taxes cutting rights and a number of one off payment some every adult or permanent resident above the age of 18. 00 in hong kong will get a one off 1200. 00 payment weve got 100000000. 00 which is also been assigned to the Tourism Industry and as you mentioned its been hit on a number of fronts over recent times more than 9 months or so of protests over the last year and now of course the cry of virus the government also said it will provide for guarantees on loans taken out by individuals and companies to simply pay the wages and taxes but the Government Spending has outstripped revenue and as you mentioned this particular time its the 2nd budget deficit now in a row after 15 surpluses so certainly a huge 15000000000. 00 relief deal to try and push hong kong out of the current recession that seems to be paralyzing and has done for about a year or so is there a calculation on the part of the authorities syria that poorer people will spend faster so that might be enough just to get the beginnings of a kick start go
