Began in south asia where china and india are trying to calm tensions after a deadly clash over a border dispute in the himalayas no shots were fired but 20 indian soldiers died in a mass brawl were iron bars and wooden clubs are used as weapons top diplomats from the 2 countries have spoken over the phone and agreed to more talks now on the disputed border lies in the call one valley region near indeed administered kashmir or 2 of his hoodie on has more. In the remote western himalayas there is little evidence of what let indian and chinese soldiers to the worst of violence in decades. India and china share of the world the longest unmarked border. Chinese military drills like this one have become more common both sides have increased their military presence in recent months with tension rising over who owns what land. The border has been disputed since india and china went to war in 1062. 00 the line a yellow is the socalled line of actual control but there are several disputed areas on either side one of the main ones is excite sheen its claimed by india that administered by china. China says their shared interests are stronger than their conflicts but it also has a warning which we once again ask india to act on our consensus and strictly disciplined us troops not to cross the line to provide and not to take unilateral action that may complicate the situation. Prime minister Narendra Modi says india wants peace but is ready to defend itself. I want to assure the nation that the 2nd feis our soldiers have made will not stores a waste for us the integrity of india and our sovereignty is the most important thing and nobody can stop us from protecting them nobody should have an illusion doubts and this message. For the families its a time of mourning this father says he cant believe his son a colonel is dead now dont you feel under deep shock after hearing about my sons misfortune i never expected he would usually work in difficult places. But that Indian Officials have rejected accusations they calls this escalation furious protesters say china must be punished while the debate over the border isnt new the circumstances have now changed this time or this is a more aggressive posture for the. Region looks like a deliberate policy to create a bridge in between india or other material there is a relationship between india and china at the highest level a political divide has turned violent now raising the stakes for beijing a new delhi over where their vast frontier begins and ends. With a yawn. Elizabeth raman joins us live now from new delhi so liz that the sides say that they dont want this to escalate what is the latest. Its interesting michel because both sides have said that they are going to deescalate the situation on the border as soon as possible that its following a phone call between the 2 countries Foreign Ministers following high level meetings between military officials and the guy valley but if you look at the wording from both foreign ministries in fact you could actually exchange the would india for china and both both of the statements and you would be reading the exact same thing they continue to blame each other in the strongest possible terms they both say that the other trespassed into their territory attacked their soldiers and broke the june 6th agreement which they have made so thats interesting to see that because theyre saying that theyre going to deescalate but that theres no agreement whatsoever on what happens in the meantime here in the india there are a lot of questions that a continuing to be asta about how 20 soldiers were killed at a time to 10 days of talks between officials at a time when the government was saying that they have the capability to result in the border disputes through dialogue and were also starting to see youve seen those pictures of protests. Down the stretch and on the number of people who can gather still in place but there are protests chinese flags being burned reports of residents associations asking people to throw out their chinese products and weve seen videos of people doing so weve seen the hash tag boycott china and chinese products trending on twitter and theres also a very high powered gnashed in this media here which is joins the chorus of holds for the government to take action against china both to explain how this could have happened and also to take action against china all right. The problem live for us in delhi thank you. Now katrina you house were from the Chinese Capital beijing china says its in close communication with india by both diplomatic and military channels Foreign Ministry spokesperson jolly gen spoke to the media today on wednesday and said that both sides were intent on resolving this dispute through peaceful dialogue and that china did not want to see any further clashes at the same time jolly gen laid the blame for the deadly brawl on monday so we at the feet of india according to beijing the truce lines actually reached a consensus on the border dispute on june 6th but indian troops violated this consensus and he said they provoked and attacked chinese personnel he also went on to urge the Indian Military to discipline its troops he went on to say further that the location where this altercation took place the Golden Valley he said that this was and has always been chinese territory something thats heavily disputed by india and he said that clearly it was clear about who was on the right in the wrong side of this clash that resulted in the deaths of those soldiers on monday now according to indian media there were chinese casualties as well but the Chinese Government is yet to release any numbers and there is some speculation that they may never release these numbers a state media here are saying that this is in fact a sign of goodwill from beijing an example of beijing wanting to pursue peace with india and not wanting to spark any confrontational sentiment that nail lead to all out conflict among talkers a scholar at St Anthonys College at the university of oxford who joins us from washington d. C. We appreciate your time so much so. Are there any indications to you anything that you see positive in this this perhaps may be deescalating. Well its certainly a very serious time right now but i think the fact that you know both sides were able to talk to each other in foreign ministries actually talking and the fact that both capitals are sort of slow saying that theyre looking for a peaceful solution i think thats a very positive development i also think of the fact that this didnt escalate immediately when this incident took place monday night to Tuesday Morning the fact that this immediately domestically is also a good sign but things do remain very tense and its a very serious point that were at right now where things could really spiral if theyre not managed and the fact that both foreign ministries are talking to each other and there is a you know commitment at least publicly right now to talking to find a piece of seizing that may be a sign of optimism that we can hold on to so what are the sides looking for to take to be able to publicly continue to deescalate what what does india looking for what is china looking for. Well i think the the indian side is is made clear that they would like to see a return to the status quo as of april before this latest border standoff began the state senate began at the end of april so theyd like to return to the positions that were at the armys home before that point i think china has sent by china sent very little so its very hard to get a sense of what theyre trying to say for i think it theyve reached it was an advantage it very much like to keep that obviously now that theres been violence and deaths on the border and the so be very difficult to achieve a return to status quo before we stand up again but i do think theyll try and return to as close as they can to the june 6th agreement that was reached if thats at all possible and then continue some confidence Building Measures that they can take to prevent further clashes of the border and thats been a commitment that both sides have made since the stand off and dont quite and thats what something that both political leaders promised modi and president xi jinping and made at their summits and an engine im not something that theyll continue to say out loud but i think the long term what youll see is a greater dimensional competition at least on the media side enter into the dynamic the i think will take this stand up very seriously and while they may not be any immediate action of their take i think theyll start to look at china very differently from this point on and maybe theyll hear greater competitive element and you get China Dynamic moving forward i am and dr thank you so much for joining us from washington d. C. Appreciate your insight thank you. To the Korean Peninsula now or north korea as warning it will rain deploy troops near the border and resume military exercises and this warning comes a day after a building that he used to promote reconciliation was blown up by the north its all says that one no longer tolerate an unreasonable behavior rob mcbride reports in pashto on the south korean side of the border. Making its message clear and unequivocal the destruction of the joint Liaison Office has been widely broadcast by north korean state run media accompanied by warnings that it will increase its military presence along the border separating the 2 koreas. Guard posts that had been removed to deescalate tensions will now be restored while military exercises on the northern side of the border will be resumed bringing this unusually strong response from the south. Such moves thought to the efforts and achievements made by the 2 koreas to maintain peace and the north will surely pay if these measures are put into action the north has blamed the south for allowing defectors to release propaganda balloons into its territory but north Korean Leader kim jong un is also frustrated at his failure to get more concessions in summits with the south korean president moon j. N. And with u. S. President donald trump the north seeming to conclude that the current path of diplomacy has run its course trump just doesnt is not that interested anymore money is very constrained by sanctions i mean thats why this thing is sort of been frozen for year and a half im just not sure that much can change in the next 6 months or 8 months a jew on the Southern Side of the border relatives of people abducted during the korean war hold a simple ceremony. And then the events are being staged with the coming 70th anniversary of the start of the conflict lisa was a baby when his father was abducted to the north. For him and others still living with the wars consequences this latest attempt at reconciliation has achieved little condone kim jong un wouldnt recognize that this issue even exists and the sauce korean order ministration couldnt put the issue on the table dream the summit in any case this section of the border is where rail and road links were meant to be connected if the Current Initiative had been a success it was planned that you would become one of the main crossing points between north and south in what would be a new era of peaceful coexistence on the peninsula they are hopes that for the time being at least seeing dashed once more Robert Bright aljazeera to south korea and other states in crisis can talk and sister appears to be taking on a bigger role rejecting talks with the sal Foster Carter is a korea analyst at Leeds University he says ken kim yo jong holds a powerful position but the tough posturing is to distract North Koreans from real issues. He studied in switzerland as a child like like a prophet it so sadly you know the west especially western education doesnt seem to sort of have the softening fact that some people think that it would the really important thing is that from being sort of in a background of coming along with the blotting paper to dry his success with the science deals and stuff like that shes not a very important and i dont write as she does she does number of statements the sea air and more particularly this past week. So i think theres a sort of something going on quite apart from all the into current stuff itself up behind the scenes there is an issue we all got part about kim jong uns health when he disappeared for a few weeks recently there isnt a clear line of succession because his children are very young in this strange reggie trick communism so do the testing the system would seem to me to have to be to be to deal with domestic politics but obviously it has become negative ramifications for International Politics as well north criminalist if if they had sanctions to some degree the economy is bad mainly because of epic restrictions for the grain of us or a claim not to actually have so you know what do you do you create a distraction youre making all scream people very angry against the south koreans and they want you to flame option the whole of that so i think its about domestic politics economics as well as making trouble internationally. Plenty more ahead of the news hour including an intonation court hands down its verdict in the tree thing case against 7 west activists plus Flight Cancellations and School Closures beijing clamps down to halt a rapidly spreading coronavirus outbreak in the capital. And thats what this front star is facing a linking suspension parts have all those details ahead. Turkey has launched another military offensive against armed kurdish separatists in Northern Iraq ankara deployed troops to the how often and region near the border to fight the warplanes have also targeted the groups positions around 3000. 00 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 so we have correspondents on both sides of the story some of fault on a standing by live in the iraqi capital well get to her in a moment 1st its going to sit in costello who is in istanbul so seen what are you hearing from the turkey side. Who will rachelle this is a follow up for. That call that was carried out 2 days ago the commander of the ground force forces are in wolves in todays operation and this time they are in half then and a very close. A close a reactive singe are when you speak to the Turkish Military sources they tell you that after come theyll mountains singe or has become a 2nd have quarter for the. Workers party and this is a Junction Point because as the u. S. Supplies weapons and the arms to the Syrian KurdishFighters Group which turkey believes that. It is organically talk to the. Those weapons are also transferred to the p. K. K. In iraq through syndrome. Thats why the military the military sources say that they aim to cut the supply line this logistics line which which is which gives life to the p. K. K. This is the main idea of the operation they say of course this is not the 1st circuit version that this in the last 3 years at the more than 20 operations have been conducted to Northern Iraq to the. Force because according to turkeys these securities fraud t. G. They are trying to eliminate the terrorists the threat that they call as terrorists outside thats all outside turkeys border at its home before reaching inside turkey and inside turkey come to your operations have been carried out by the interior ministry and they have the fighters most they have been moved up from turkey its a main this syria or iraq so this is this this operation to the when you ask the turkish officials and military it is it is just to stop the p. K. K. And also there is the belief in the capital that the United States is supporting a kurdish state latha by the out the Kurdistan Workers Party which turkey sees as a terrorist group and turkey claims that this group has nothing to do it doesnt have good relations with the other kurdish political groups either and its an armed group thats why. We believe they say as they occur they call it as a terrorist state shouldnt be a savage by our borders they said thats why turkey is trying to push the p. K. K. Out to the so itself even than iraq like they did in syria and create as a safe area this is what these sources have been telling us today and if there is any states by it should be beyond this this is according to the turkish officials are shell ok standing by for us and its troublesome thank you. Going to baghdad now or some other vault and is standing by live there so someone or what are you finding out there. Well we still dont have an official statement from the Iraqi Government and we spoke to the ministry of Foreign Affairs which said that there would not be an additional Statement Today a day after the ministry some of the turkish ambassador through to voice its concerns over the previous turkish airstrikes on iraqi soil condemning those attacks as a violation of iraqi sovereignty that contravenes International Standards the minister of Foreign Affairs also said on monday that government was open to joint military operations in those border areas to secure them then these operations should be carried out in a way that secures the interests of both sides now today we havent heard anything from the Iraqi Government or from kurdish authorities in the autonomous region of iraq kurdistan we have however spoken to local officials and civilians and military officials on the ground and what we understand there were actually 2 separate operations today one which in im already touched upon which was this turkish incursion into an area called but we understand that there were around 7 villages affected 6 of them were abandoned but one village was inhabited by around 15 families and we understand there was some destruction of civilian infrastructure although there were no casualties reported now separately from this perhaps in coordination although we do not know this there has been an iranian attack on an area called. Near the iraqi border and this attack appeared to target also many of the p. K. But also in reining in a resistance groups which are in those areas again those attacks also resulted in some destruction of civilian infrastructure but we havent heard anything about any casualties at the moment of course both of these operations there are. Violation of iraqi sovereignty and it remains to be seen how the Iraqi Government will react because Prime Minister with me has referred to it several times that iraq should not be used as a battleground for any regional or foreign powers to sow the score so it remains to be seen how he will react but we have already heard some statements by various iraqi political parties. The largest political bloc in the Iraqi Parliament has called on an emergency session to discuss these latest airstrikes so well be waiting to hear more about that ok so manifold with bolton with the latest there in baghdad smyrna thank you at least 12 soldiers have been killed in an attack in northern afghanistan took place at an army post and province another 5 soldiers have been held hostage the taliban who claim responsibility for this attack say the death toll is higher the u. S. Says it has plans to impose fresh sanctions against the Syrian Government under new legislation known as the caesar act the state department has already begun by unveiling dozens of sanctions against president Bashar Al Assad his wife and some of their associates the caesar act which went into effect on wednesday is aimed at increasing the economic isolation of assads regime by restricting the ability to trade and get money from abroad the sanctions will target his supporters with the threat of arrest or travel bans they could be politicians military personnel or anyone in business or banking as well as the oil and gas industry the new law also effects country seeking to do business with syrias government such as has a law in lebanon iran russia at some gulf states and allies in Eastern Europe barely a decade of violence has left syria with a collapsing economy the sanctions are expected to do rail president Bashar Al Assads postwar recovery plans zana hodor reports from beirut and a warning viewers may find some of these 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 us the socalled caesar act in any country in the world theres a company individual. Thats providing acknowledged financial support. And military support. Are all liable for states and under the sea their 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 spend. Foreign currency 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 senate. Beirut for more on this were joined by syria researcher chris doyle in wonder and so chris what do you think how effective do you think rather these and sanctions could be. Well police sanctions will be another attempt to hoarsely hold the Syrian Regime accountable that is laudable to the extent Syrian Regime course is responsible for egregious crimes human rights abuses whether its the deliberate targeting of civilians over the last 10 years of small full war mass arrests the torture etc and of course caesar act itself is named after the pseudonym of the syrian who brought these ghastly photographs of syrians being tortured and detained in syria but i think there has to be very serious questions about how effective this is going to be so. You know collectives you know certain it isnt that sort of be sanctioned spot for certain cronies right at the top have Smuggling Networks and accounts and point was that wont be affected by out of that going to be have going to be quite content thats so troubling is why larry. Well United States. Has wanted to put together a policy and maximum pressure on iran and its allies and of course that includes syria it includes his body and this is not a plank in that strategy and as you see with iran there is actually precious little account really for the humanitarian wellbeing of peoples and were going to see that soon in syria because once the regime will survive its. People the Syrian People the civilians are going to be equal to innumerable rocks the rock the regime and all the things that it does to oppress the Syrian People to meits freedom incompetence of its Economic Management and then the rock of sanctions which will also prove if history shows the senate thing they will also be in movement and it will make it very difficult because the economy wont you know provides. For the people it wont be able to provide the money to be able to import so you can have exemptions but unless the syrian economy example to. Boost production it wont be able to buy these medicines so we are here in air describing a situation where the sanctions or often end up hurting the most vulnerable even if there are socalled exemptions and the sanctions. Exemptions tend to take a long time the sanctions will put off a lot of companies in my town that lies going to go each in these books that determine that its far too risky because they will have this is a United States perhaps theyre going to move away from doing with syria we want to see this in the way that Bank Accounts for longing to syrians for example and youre close the risk is just too much for those banks to have syrian accountable those so what i think it will see is weve seen it for example with the sanctions on iraq that were in place between 1009002003 the Saddam Hussein regime those few dont know sanctions quite effectively as far as at certain our interests but certainly not actually use the sanctions as an instrument of oppression on its own people and of course the Syrian Regime will be saying economic crisis humanitarian crisis in syria is all the fault of the sanctions and United States was saying the economic humanitarian crisis is all the faults of the regime but that wont get us anywhere that will be able to push forward some sort of resolution to a crisis thats nasty dont 10 years and tape chris doyle thank you so much joining us from london appreciate it thank you a delegation of high ranking turkish officials have been meeting libyas internationally recognized government turkeys foreign minister and chief of intelligence made a surprise trip to tripoli turkey is the tripoli ministrations main backer and if it ends terminal and forcing the advance of warlord Khalifa Haftar are they Foreign Ministers visit policy or agreement with russia which backstopped are to push for a cease fire.

And Indonesian Court has issued a guilty verdict against 7 west papuan human activists human rights activist that is charged with treason the men were arrested in the capital during anti racism demonstrations in august of last year the men will serve up to 11 months in jail but human rights activists say the defendants should never have been arrested in the 1st place just washington has more. Outside the courtroom in East Kalimantan a small crowd gathered to support the defendants waiting for the verdict in a highly controversial trial the sparse and socially distanced demonstration a stark contrast to last years in indonesias papa when tens of thousands gathered to protest against racism against indigenous pop ones 7 men were arrested accused of involvement in the protests the provinces of purple and west papuan have been under indonesian rule since 969 and since then some have called for the regions independence the indonesian government has tried to quite shy any separatist movements in the resource rich provinces including the banning of the morning star flag which has become a symbol of pop on independence. The men were moved from papa to kalimantan thousands of kilometers from friends and family and because of covered 9000 restrictions the trial was held on Video Conference prosecutors sought sentences between 5 and 17 years instead all the men was sentenced to less than one year. You know what we find the defendant guilty of treason by the group. Theyve already been in prison since september so it should only be a matter of months before they release but we believe that they should have never been arrested in the 1st place they were just protesting racism at the time and they were just doing this for. Expression so they have committed no crime they are just you know still an activist political activist here in retrospect because. They can be in prison solely for peacefully exercising their rights. The men looked relieved to hear their lighter sentences but there is the possibility that one or more of them may appeal against their treason convictions some of the men told the judges they were. The defense says that demonstrating against racism is the right of every citizen in indonesia but the indonesian government has long held the view that theres no evidence of systemic discrimination against ones or any other Minority Community aljazeera asked the Central Government for a response to the verdict but did not receive a reply just a washington 0 to counter.
