China says its great to continue talks with india after clashes in a disputed border region india says at least 20 soldiers were killed by chinese troops a beijing has reiterated it is not to be blamed for mondays violence. In the knowledge of indian troops seriously violated the consensus across the lawn of control and provoked an attack the chinese personnel the sleet the fierce physical confrontation between the 2 sides and resulted in casualties we once again ask india to act on our consensus and strictly disciplined us troops not to cross the line to provoke and not to. Take unilateral action that may complicate the situation tensions be rising for weeks between the 2 countries over the border mondays clashes happened in the golan valley region in the himalayas its the 1st time in decades that deaths have been reported during a standoff between the 2 countries solid ballasts reports in the remote twistin himalayas there is little evidence of what lead to indian and chinese so jews in gauging in a deadly brule at the border on monday indias army said there were casualties on both sides but not a shot was fired these are Indian Military reinforcements distant from the border shortly after. India and china share the wounds longest unmarked border in recent months both sides of ops the military presence tensions increasing over who are what now and the border has been disputed since india and china went to war in 1962 the line in yellow is the socalled line of actual control but there are several disputed areas only the site one of the main ones is a chain which is claimed by india but administered by china india has appeared confident in a diplomatic resolution just on saturday indias army chief see this. Situation along our borders with china is under control yet having a series of talks the chinese also thought dialogue was working but blame india for the deadly breakdown. On june 6th forces of the 2 countries had command a level talks and reached a consensus on easing the situation in the border area however it was shocking that the Indian Forces violated the consensus crossing the border twice to carry out a legal activities and provoking attacks on chinese soldiers. Indian officials have refuted that i could see escalation this very modest more aggressive posture. Which looks like a deliberate policy to create a vision between the or rather the relationship between india and china at the highest level. Lay is a quiet town on the indian side of the border outside of military helicopters resilience have few clues behind the tension only do steep if the joint bottom it will face off what officials are releasing any statement regarding the standoff that is going on at the border so rima spread which has created fear among the people People Living near the border most get the Cellular Network in the area has also been cut off and no information is coming through yet the deadly skirmishes raising the stakes for beijing in new delhi of the weird the vast frontiers begin and end shut down us 0. Elizabeth ryan joins me now live from new delhi Chinas Foreign Ministry saying talks will continue with india but obviously the death toll in the indian side at least has created swell has it created any pressure for india to react. Absolutely and there are questions about why i promised in the day in the morning still hasnt said anything about the death the deaths of 20 soldiers the 1st deaths along the india china border in 45 years he has called for a meeting of all Major Political parties on friday though to discuss the situation and he has already held meetings with his ministers and with defense chiefs we have heard from Chinas Foreign Ministry which reiterated its position that india trespassed on its territory attacked its soldiers but it did say that it was open to dialogue and to communication but it also said that the sovereignty of the entire valley area the place where the clashes took place on monday night that the sovereignty belong to china that is not going to be received well than india is certainly going to be seen as news to india which also claims. All that valley. He said that both sides had disengaged and this has very much become a bashing of narratives now because indias ministry of external affairs maintained that chinese troops try to you need to change the status quo during deescalation if its in the region often eastern that we know that there was an increase in military presence by both sides office in may and we had defense experts and india accusing china of encroaching on indian territory and they were asking repeatedly asking the government what it was doing about it well those tolls to diffuse the tension started 10 days ago and the Indian Government maintains that it has a pretty Good Relationship with china and all the diplomatic channels and plays to resolve any border disputes through dialogue and yes despite those assurances we have had 20 deaths now so a lot of questions about whats really happening at the border whether the Indian Government has that under control and were also seeing some protests albeit small including by all me veterans here in the capital new. Delhi outside the Chinese Embassy calling for action against china like that Elizabeth Brannon life on new delhi. To the koreas now where a war of words is further escalating tension between the 2 nations north korea has warned it will redeploy troops near the border and resume military exercises along frontline areas accuse the south of bad behavior and justify the destruction of an into korean Mayors Office on tuesday seoul says it will no longer accept young uns and reasonable behavior committed trigger. Tours only meaning when we express strong regret towards the north korean general staff of the Korean Peoples Army announcement that it will deploy military to k. Song and diamond mountain. North koreas announcement as an act that turns the clock back to before the june 15th 2000 declination in violation of south korean peoples Property Rights north korea will have to take responsibility and stop any acts that can worsen the situation well the bride has more now from part 2 on the south korean side of the border. This is its about as close as you can get in south korea to the d. M. Z. Its another few kilometers further on from here but it is also one of the crossing points for the main rail links between north and south that gives you an idea of the legacy of the conflict and also hopes of future coexistence hopes that until recently at least had been very much alive and well one of the bridges here was destroyed during the war and has been left to like that but the other bridge was restored and then in a previous rounds of reconciliation they actually reconnected the rail link between north and south its connected its ready to roll just add trains the feeling was that the negotiations reconciliations were going so well this time that it was going to possibly lead to regular Train Services restarting between north d and south which would have been something quite historic obviously all of that now seems increasingly far fetched especially as we get this developing war of words its really the acrimony of the old we have kim jong she is the increasingly influential and powerful sister of the north Korean Leader whos become almost the point person when it comes to lobbying insults at the south branding south koreas president been jailed in as brazen and shameless and then return we now have the president ial office the blue house the government of moon j. M. Which until now has been very conciliatory trying to keep things on track retaliating in kind it seems talking about her comments being rude and senseless and saying that the south korean government will not tolerate unreasonable words and acts in future. Turkey is launched another military offensive against armed kurdish separatists in Northern Iraq ancora deployed troops to the huffed in an region near the border to fight the p. K. K. Warplanes have also targeted the groups positions around 3000 fighters are believed to be in Northern Iraq turkey the u. S. And the e. U. All list the p. K. K. As a terrorist group. Has more from istanbul. Todays operation is different compared to the one that happened 2 days ago because this time Ground Forces are also in place and they have been accompanied by the Turkish Air Forces for pimpin to point operations targeting the bases ammunition depots and strategic points of the out those Kurdistan Workers Party what makes this operations a special is turkey is aiming to cut the logistic loops of the p. K. K. From iraq to syria because for turkey it p k k and the Syrian KurdishFighters Group y p g r r organically tied to each other and there is an ammunition and weapons transfer between 2 sides from from the y. P. G. To iraq and one day those weapons can be turned against turkey and thats why turkey is trying to eliminate the p. K. Fighters they have bases and as i said that the logistic routes. Between is syria and iraq this is the idea of the operation and. These operations have been recently conducted have been in touch have been conducted in cooperation with the Turkish Intelligence Agency before Turkish Intelligence Agency didnt have any authority for course wardrop rationed but in the last couple of years with the president ial system they are authorized to cooperate with the military and they have been providing ifield intelligence and turkish drones have been active in the area and when you speak to the military experts they say the success of the ration is based on the drones armed and on armed aerial vehicles in the area providing information every day some of 14 is a baghdad and says the lack of reaction from authorities is being interpreted by some as welcoming the operation. Well we still dont have an official statement neither from the Iraqi Government here in baghdad nor from kurdish authorities in Iraqi Kurdistan we in fact called the spokesperson of the joint Operations Command here in baghdad which is the entity that is supposed to govern all military activity in iraq and he quote said he had no information unquote at the moment about the incident and of course all of this is made more difficult because the areas where these operations are taking place are under the control of the semi autonomous kurdish government and what is interesting that we havent heard anything come out for but neither the k. T. P. Which is the Kurdish Democratic party which coincidentally has the minister of Foreign Affairs currently inside the Iraqi Government nor from the p u k and the way some people interpreted this is that in fact the kurdish authorities have welcomed these operations because in fact they dont really want the presence of p. K. K. Fighters on their ground either what is particularly interesting in this case of this appears to be not just a Turkish Operation there appears to be also some iranian involvement and we have spoken to a kurdish general who is in charge of the border areas with turkey and iran and he said that actually iran has participated in these operations through artillery strikes and that these artillery strikes are still ongoing and the areas that appear to be targeted are either belonging to the p. K. K. Or to some Iranian Opposition groups.

Sanctions on syria have come into a fix the caesar act is a raft of financial sanctions and travel bans on individuals institutions and companies that do business with the government of president Bashar Al Assad human Rights Groups accuse the Syrian Government of torture extrajudicial killing during the civil war and in prisons the us Congress Passed the legislation last december and caesar was the pseudonym of a defector from syria who leaked 50000 abuse photos nearly a decade of violence has left syria with a collapsing economy the sanctions are expected to derail president Bashar Assads postwar recovery plans somewhat of reports from beirut and a warning viewers may find some images disturbing. Theyre known as caesars photographs named after a military defector who documented torture and killings in Syrian Government jails his testimonies to the u. S. Congress was part of a campaign to hold the regime responsible for what have been described as war crimes it led to the passing and now the implementation of a bill in the u. S. The socalled caesar act in any country in the world theres a company individual. Thats providing acknowledge the financial support. Military support. Are all liable for states and under the cesar bill these sanctions go further than existing ones are aimed at preventing International Engagement with Bashar Assads government partnering or fighting on its side will also be punishable the Syrian Government calls the legislation economic terrorism but proponents of the law point to exemptions that minimize any impact on civilians. The federal government is allowed to buy medicine they want but they dont want to. Be on that they want to fund their war machine they want to pump the militia human Rights Groups have accused the Syrian Government of using aid to fund its atrocities benefit those loyal to it and punish opponents by confiscating their properties plans to move to a postwar phase in syria will now be difficult. Its. This with this. Regime. Its already faced with a collapsing economy and currency there is unprecedented poverty some say a 3rd hasnt been this vulnerable at any time during the 9 year war. It kind of shuts the door fully closed in terms of there being any light at the end of the tunnel for the Syrian Regime so i think politically and diplomatically that will have an impact but it adds to the already terrible effects of the syrian economic crisis assad has faced pressure in the past but has never agreed to making political concessions he since the clear victory in the war in syria and while he may have won militarily winning the peace may prove harder the new legislation means the fight for damascus as the seat of assads power and legitimacy has still to be fought santa.

Police reforms here in new york and elsewhere around the country have largely focused on individual officers and holding them accountable for their actions but critics say racism is a systemic problem and more systemic changes are needed former Police OfficerDennis Kenney believes the issue isnt to unions but rather a militarized approach to policing weve gone back to the effort militarized Police Easily evaluated Tactical Solutions and so forth and all of those have the effect of kind of driving a wedge. We community and elise. And i think that we need to go back and think well softly again about why we not just how we police in california the states largest Police Unions have published their own reform agenda ignalina need for action it calls for lessening the use of force and increasing accountability to root out racist Police Officers but that will require communities and police to Work Together to make communities safer for everyone kristen salumi al jazeera new york.
