Government has described the continuing protests in the. Clashes and demonstrations whats next for the protest movement. Welcome. Its good to have you with us. India has ended a constitutional provision that governed its tradition ship with the disputed region of john when the abolition of all tickle 370 means the state of Jammu And Kashmir would no longer enjoy near autonomous control over its affairs this special status has so far formed the cornerstone of indias policy in made lets go to the map right now the entire shaded vision that you see over here is the region of john want to push me to that india and pakistan both claim. It was a Princely State at the time of indias independence in 147. 00 but decided to join india and they did on wall followed and control was event to be divided between the 2 countries in these 2 shaded areas in different colors of orange that you see here article 370 government indias relationship with the pot on the Indian Administration it give it control over all affairs except Foreign Affairs defense and communication this has now been ended indias home minister ahmed shah had this to say in bottom and stop at the some 33 parties but on the recommendation of parliament. The president announces that starting from the day that the president of india signs this declaration and it is published and the government does it all the provisions under article 370. 00 will cease to be a political. Number. And the president has signed is that manoj joshi is a leading security analyst from the Observer Research foundation in delhi manoj good to have you with us how do you see things developing on the ground in kashmir off to this announcement. Well i think certainly in the belly there would be a sense of bewilderment and of shock the article 378. 00 said its not really much. The photo of the. Various religions have been underlying but equally important symbol for the people it is a symbol that they were unique there you would be stupid we. Dont majority so that symbol had been taken down and i think that is something which is going to be a bit of a psychological shock to get that your understanding to the psychological shock as reported a former chief minister of dont want this made Mehbooba Mufti called if i quote the doctors day in indian democracy and you father went on to warn that there could be catastrophic consequences for the subcontinent does he have a point when you know that may be stretching it a bit flawed because little as far as christine is concerned it has already seen a huge amount of violence. And. So yes there will be a who do more distant day there will be protests. The ducks why be accorded appropriate for their Simple Police forces army forces i think in the short done they will keep a lid on it but what is i think. The problem is the question of promoted to a nation in the sense all stated on the street is want to do this. Since the 1990 there have been an insurgency there oh that insurgency of being moralist defeated and you had a lot of the population or silent majority this interview went along with the idea that we were part of india and the separatists would actually in a minority right now in a pretty theres going to be something pretty definitive in this thought since that they have lost something not in fact that lost it already taken place but the point is the psychological shock ought to be told that if youre like anyone else right here your state is theres nothing unique about it. That is going to have the impact what does that someones about the. Governments try to do to handle the have a strategy if so what is it. Well you know the thing is there to be hippies be still ideology have been that we should not have a special status so to do something with a big important part of a funding would be to be just wont be slow this what the movement to push me to. This special status so in one sense its the fulfilment of that and you can be sure that if you how white straight support across the country. In the country there is a certain amount of pressure at 50 and people are doing so well you dont 70 years be trying to be nice it hasnt worked out so this is the busy this has to be a drastic solution so be it and so people would like to be in the government already you seem to be the actual Political Party and many of the Political Parties in the south actually supporting the b. And i suspect it seems that were going to be there. Right across the country is there manoj was there from the opposite of a Research Foundation draws from that or thank you very much for that analysis. Starting now to hong kong where a general strike hospitalized the citys airport and varied services on monday protestors prevented metro trains from moving and was successful in disrupting their services as well more than 100 flights were canceled at the airport the strike on monday for the weekend of clashes between protesters and Police Demonstrators want hong kong chief executive to resign and broader democratic reforms in the special Administrative Region of china. This on rest has been going on for more than 9 weeks now and protesters have had to adapt to stay one step ahead of the ever tightening security. As this report from hong kong. You know you can hear the frustration like this is clear in any language. As the weeks go on even cameras are becoming unwelcome. Limits later to gasify it but its no longer a match for these increasingly sophisticated protests. As the toxic fumes fill the air the call goes out to me. Under the cover of smoke processes despair as quickly as they arrived. This is what theyre calling that the want to stretch to stay nimble dont get cold. Group chats on social media help them plan where to target next. By thousands file into public transport and on to the next location for now the short sharp best of disruption. Pages is easy trains to get across the city as quickly as possible barry is left open for them to polish freely in and out of the train stations this is part of a deliberate strategy to get from location to location is quickly as possible to not stay in one place for too long move on and start the next demonstration this flash mob style tactic is now the most powerful defense. Against an increasingly intolerant police force i think the police trusted to toy together when they go though and then we can go to another place so maybe there is less police and we can do our things secondly we will try to save also from being arrested thats the main thing i think how the 16 and how many different protests make ations happy being see today to now it will be 5. Hours and major tunnel is blocked for 2nd night running. Cars brought to a standstill but once again it doesnt last long that. The. Police move in but the demonstrations are one step ahead theyve already moved on. All that police can do is clear the damage. This has become a catch and mouse game the protest is through of becoming harder and harder to contain. And for more im joined by journalist laurel troy in hong kong liberal youve been covering these protests since it began about 9 weeks ago does it look like the protestors have a plan is there for instance a willingness to talk to the government and try and reach an end or is the protest movement that is going to stay on the streets. I think there is absolutely a willingness to talk to the government but the problem is right now that the government isnt reaching out theyre not making any compromises the chief executive is barely visible or she disappears for days or weeks at a time so i think there are protesters now what they want and theyre willing to talk but its the government thats not budging thats why people are saying its really hard to see how this ball and what the reaction been among supporters does to the recent press conference by cadillac. Well i think she said more of the usual which is not much and i think no one was surprised by that no one was really expecting her to say anything new or interesting so she didnt really do anything to deescalate the situation or to reassure them she continued to condemn the protests there is so it didnt help im not sure how much of her either but it again more of the same really that shes been saying this whole time and ive aging has been saying thats fine what does that say about. The Hong Kong Government has what the government to do to try and make to situation better. Well the protesters have very specific demands they want to completely draw all of the bill they want an investigation into violence so things like that they are and can take steps towards that that it hasnt been happening its unclear why did withdraw all the bill hasnt happened especially when chief executive perry alive and said that the bill is dead shes delayed it and that they dont have plans to go through with it but because the people here dont trust her or the government theyre demanding a complete withdrawal and so far harry lime has even refused to say the word but drawl so theres also the question of whos really and power here is that ariel im or that big. There is rumors that she wanted to step down but that beijing didnt want her to so the legitimacy of the government and her leadership is also in question what about the police in all of this there have them are those have been heavily criticized by the Protesters Police tactics for the cause and protests to spread. I would think so the police have been a big focus for the protesters they have focused on Police Violence yeah focus on the fact that a lot of Police Officers arent wearing their badge numbers there have been a lot of arrests they are getting he thought on the streets and theres even been videos of journalists getting protests so the balance is absolutely incited a lot of the anger there is that since theres been a couple protests that have only focused on the Police Violence and didnt even mention the extradition bill so the Police Behavior and reaction definitely made it worse and what were seeing now is that actually local residents who arent even protesters per se theyre theyre coming down to the great police theyre coming down there theyre getting into their. Heckling the riot police and the crisis had to respond to that with your gas which of course makes it even more angry and these are local residents there on the flop theyre not Wearing Masks and helmets like. Thats all the speeches of some hong kong thank you very much for that now theyre here to ask another on a tear gas was inspired and this is happening all over hung on you was about.
