In other world news india and china are both accusing the other soldiers of firing shots in a new confrontation a longer disputed he may in border china says indian troops crossed the line of actual control in the Western Region on monday and opened fire and its soldiers to what it called Counter Measures but indias military has laid the blame with china accusing it of what it called for vocative measures to escalate tension both sides usually avoid using firearms in the area to train e. U. Has more on the reaction from beijing now china has called this a serious provocation and violation of the border agreement we know that things between these 2 sides have been tense for some years but if this is true this will be one of the 1st times firearms have been involved in about 40 years there had been agreement to keep firearms out of it but we do know that things have been escalating with both sides building up troops for the past 2 months staring at times at each other eyeball to eyeball the longest disputed areas unable to agree over this line of actual control which is further complicated by this complex topography along the region now in our firearms have not been used but things did escalate in june where there was a skirmish between both sides and at least 20 indian soldiers will last china says that its conducting negotiations and dialogues with the indian side there have been talks at Different Levels for the past few weeks including very high level talks in moscow between both the defense ministers from both countries just last friday but it seems that those talks have been very limited in terms of what progress they have been able to make and india also says that china has captured 5 indian civilians and Chinas Foreign Ministry when asked about this said they didnt have any information saying simply that they were continuing dialogue with india that they wanted peace but Chinas Foreign Ministry has predictably laid the blame for escalating tensions completely with the indian side and elizabeth branom is in new delhi she says indian Army Maintains it did not cross the line of actual control. They are saying that it was the chinese army that tried to close in on one of indias positions and when they were dissuaded by their own troops that they fired a few rounds in the air theyre also saying that despite grave provocation that indian troops exercised great restraint that they are committed to disengagement to deescalation that china continues to undertake provocative activities to escalate and theyre also saying that the latest statement by the chinese army about the firing is an attempt to mislead its domestic and International Audience now this happened just 3 days after that meeting between the 2 countries defensemen this does at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit it was the highest level meeting between the 2 countries since the current standoff began in may and we also had both sides saying that the other agreed to deescalate the situation after that but we have had so many rounds of talks at Different Levels since may and each time they maintain that they are committed to disengaging and get weve had more incidents including the most serious between the 2 countries in june when those 20 indian soldiers and a number of chinese soldiers were killed we do have a meeting between the Foreign Ministers off the 2 countries coming up again coming up rather again at that Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit on thursday. 2 australian journalists have returned home from china after a 10 strip diplomatic standoff which left them fearing arrests Chinese Police had demanded interviews with the man and initially barred them from leaving their reporters one of them from the state broadcaster a.

V. Network c g t n. Because that is the very way you are going out i think if theres any of the doubt. In. The country or to any one rule of law. Yeah this is a whirlwind kind of. Got to begin to. Mark a strawman is the president of australia has made a he and in the Media Entertainment and he says china is using journalists has diplomatic bargaining chips were very glad that the 2 of them are back home and safe because in china theyre clearly not so and this is a very disturbing pattern weve seen no chen they is in custody not a number reasons that we are unclear of and also we have another member of a uni and german whos in john has been sober for 18 months facing its been charges so unfortunately this looks like a pattern that the Chinese Government is using journalists is just tools in a diplomatic can you hear very little about what happens after the journalists are detained we know that that chain mail has received consular assistance but thats thats about it and this appears to be a pattern of intimidation by the chinese authorities to try to get the story of china told in the way it wants and i mean it also appears to be a bit of chips a tap tied in with trade disputes chinas long struggle with the United States maybe a stray here is seen as a as a pawn or a patsy for the United States its very unclear whats going on and its very disappointing because i mean china does not have a Civil Society where freedom of the press exists so.
