State of oregon those wildfires burn along the west coast and we speak to one person who lost everything even the roof over their heads in flooding in. India and china have reached an agreement on deescalating tensions along their disputed border nearly 3 months after the biggest military confrontation between the 2 sides in the last 45 years Foreign Ministers from both countries have been holding talks in moscow the 5 point plan is centered around honoring existing border agreements 20 indian troops were killed in hand to hand combat in june the border area of the northern duck region which china also claims both sides are banned from using arms under treaty but we have correspondents on both sides of the story in a moment well have reaction from china with katrina you in the Capital Beijing 1st though lets go to Elizabeth Piron and she is in new delhi elizabeth so how significant is this agreement signed by both sides and what more do you know about the details there. And so as one is agreeing to abide by previous agreements both sides said that they shouldnt allow disagreements to become just that the Current Situation on the border isnt in the interest of either country that they should disengage militarily as soon as possible avoiding any actions that would escalate the situation that they should continue their communication and complete trust Building Measures now while all of this sounds very positive in any progress on the very so serious situation on the border as well many independent experts here a view in this with skepticism people have told me that these are just words and that there is no operational detail and the big reason for the skepticism is that although this meeting between the Foreign Ministers was the highest level face to face meeting to have taken place since the current standoff began it may have been many rounds of negotiations at various levels with both sides always agreeing to disengage and yet we saw the worst violence between the 2 countries in 50 years when 20 indian soldiers and another unknown number of chinese soldiers were killed in hand to hand combat and despite the defense ministers of both countries meeting on friday and agreeing to disengage earlier this week we had the 1st shots being fired on the border both sides accusing each other firing the shots for the 1st time in 45 years and elizabeth we saw a Prime MinisterNarendra Modi visit indian troops in law that was back in july many people saw this as indias resolve to be chinese aggression so how is this played out politically for modi at home. So that trip to the Prime Minister modi in july was when he said that the age of expansionism is over into china and shortly after the deaths of the indian soldiers in june promised to modi came under a lot of criticism from the opposition for his comments that chinese soldiers never intruded on indian territory in fact the Chinese Media seized on that and the backlash was because the indian troops are said to have died defending indian territory but because Prime Minister modi is so as is so popular with his very large base that very little criticism affects him politically and his governments decision to take economic action against china its banned more than 100 very popular chinese apps take a good number of the steps it is really supported by his very high paid gnashed in this base who support who want strong action against china whether its militarily or economically or right to it isnt in new delhi elizabeth thank you for that lets get the view now from beijing and talk to katrina you katrina so what will the chinese then been saying about this deal to deescalate tensions along the line of control. Well deron Chinas Foreign Ministry have just released a statement reiterating some of the words that foreign minister wanky had been saying he said that india and china are competitors are not competitors and should be acting more like partners and that they should be working on building cooperation rather than confrontation and build mutual trust rather than suspicion he also said that china india relations were at a cross words but there were no or obstacles or difficulties that could be overcome so very positive words from. Put out by the Foreign Ministry there but at the same time we have seen quite the opposite sentiment here from chinas state media here the global times which is one of the english language newspapers are released by Chinese State media and theyve had much more of an aggressive posturing basically saying that this you know this this meeting is good theyve actually got a picture here of one g. And the Indian Foreign minister as well so theyve been lauding this meeting but at the same time theyve been saying that the ability to implement this consensus depends on india keeping its word so weve seeing some of the same kind of skepticism as liz talked about earlier so still at the very very same time china still continuing to sort of flex its muscles and repeating some of the messaging we heard earlier from beijing and from state media earlier this week that china will not back down from any threats to its sovereignty that continuing to lay the blame at indias feet in terms of saying that it was india that provoked china that india who shot some firearms at the chinese side that india has been escalating these tensions at the same time saying that india should back down because it really at the end of the day is nor match for the Chinese Military so at this weve seen this kind of mixed message and at the same time though at the end of all these articles theres always this paragraph or is a statement saying that china does continue to pursue dialogue with the indian side and at the end of the day peace is what china wants at katrina just briefly both sides have talked about confidence Building Measures to bring peace along the border so what does beijing like to do on the ground implement those measures. Well one he has said that reflecting from the india statements as well saying that the most urgent thing is to withdraw troops and prevent any incident flaring up again he talked about disengaging contact withdrawing crossline personnel really preventing any chance of further skirmish or clashes at the border but we have at the same time being seeing kind of mixed messaging from Chinese State media in recent days weve had these very glitzy videos of war games being played by the chinese side along the india china border special operations troops being parachuted in an additional 300. 00 being parachuted into the area also many articles talking about the implementation of drones so in fact it seems in recent days chinas been strengthening its position and not the opposite so it will be interesting to see or over the next few days following this consensus and following the statement by one year whether china in fact of starts to either withdraw troops from that area or at least play down or stop engaging in such frequent and publicized military drills along the area in terms of flexing its muscles katrina thank you the protests against Police Brutality in colombia once again violent with demonstrators throwing molotov cocktails at a Police Station under has been building after the death of a man in custody in bogota pity reports.

Anger goes beyond the issue of Police Brutality and we need real fundamental change in this country and the vandalism it doesnt help but is a way to call the government in the peoples attention because this year weve seen many human rights leaders killed economy falling apart we knew the change its clear that peoples frustration has reached the boiling point with the killing of us the question now is if these protests will be the spark that will revive the kind of mass demonstrations that have rattled the country at the end of last year i listen to them.

Now the c. E. O. And 2 other Senior Executives of a Mining Company that destroyed ancient caves in Western Australia are stepping down rio tinto has been criticized for blowing up 46000 year old rock shelters in may to expand an eye on all mine the jew khan gorge caves are one of the earliest known Aboriginal Heritage sites lets bring in James Pitts Gerald in canberra hes from the Australasian Center for Corporate Responsibility and james i mean this is an extraordinary story isnt it i mean youve described this internal rio tend to report as an insult to the traditional owners of the k. s and you think these Company Executives should all be fired or low some of them have stepped down is that going to be enough do you think. Well its not a question of college but its a question of finding people with the responsibilities that they hold i think weve seen actually 2 disasters here one is the destruction of chicken in a of this year and they in the 2nd disaster is one of the Senior Management or. Through alimentary inquiry their own inquiry which is being found out of Entry Committee chair of the misleading its an extraordinary title and james it does beg a belief that it was actually legal to destroy the caves in the 1st place and now were hearing the Western Australian government has promised to update indigenous heritage laws that allowed rio tinto to blow up the caves but but what does it actually mean. Well look theres a lot of background here but you know the only reason why Mining Companies are in a position where they choosing whether or not to blow up in valuable Cultural Heritage is not a failure of the Regulatory Environment now you know the Cultural Heritage act of Western Australia it was passed in 1972 at a time when average and people didnt even have any recognised rights to land in this country so. You know its weve really been operating in a. Permissive Regulatory Environment here and its been up to the companies how will they do yeah i mean rio tinto has apologized but thats all too little too late so given that the executives had their bonuses cuts why isnt rio tinto compensating the traditional owners im sure thats what they should do in the 1st place. I mean there are theres a very long history to this but reacting to it like b. H. P. Got its buy in rights to mine in the pilbara in the 19 sixtys again before everything they delayed any recognized rights at all but in that the right to buy you know strata in those days. And so its only in the last 10 years that theres been an attempt to make some of these sorts of agreements that you know provide some compensation to every little theyve built of their land but you know what a lot of people even in australia dont appreciate is that a lot of this countrys wealth and prosperity is up to the on going destruction of the land of the average of the people who are region. James just a final thought from you before you go i mean how much has this incident caused Mining Companies and indeed the government to reflect on their own internal practices regulations policies to make sure this never happens again i mean theres got to be some soul searching in. Yes that has been an entree said into the. Level of introspection across the board but. I think we need to shout out and congratulate the investors in rio tinto for stepping up but theyre really in this country at the moment they are the last line of accountability to these these giant corporations they stepped up in fold themselves made their own judgment about you know what they were hearing from rio tinto has bought d in Senior Management in recent months and i found it wanting and that and its because of that that you know we are now saying these things play out james has shown great to get you on the program and to get your thoughts thank you very much indeed james thanks for having me. Now the greek government says migrants have been left without shelter after their camp was gutted by fire will not be moved to the mainland blazes ripped through the maria camp on the island of less boss on tuesday and wednesday following protests of a coronavirus restrictions on some office reports. The 3rd in as many days in moria camp planes helicopters and fire trucks battled what seems to be a recurring nightmare of destruction but these fires are not accidental flare ups from smoldering ruins they are springing up because someone is lighting them this new fire in morea camp which the fire service seems unable to control despite several attempts is now threatening to engulf the last remaining quarter of the camp that is inhabitable and a few residents remain here refusing to leave their premises the gas canisters you can hear going off helping this fire to spread very quickly indeed we witnessed the beginning of this fire it didnt start in one place it started in 3 places all within an hour of each other it appears that these fires are being set deliberately by people who want to see the last remains of this camp disappear this afghan family refuses to leave caught between 2 thought fronts they insist on using the oven they have painstakingly built to bake bread they have needed this morning until police are shut them out in burnt areas all that remains is door hinges bolts in the hills a childs mumble collection onions stacked against the wall testified to the valiant efforts of refugees to rebuild fractured lives. Where the fires allow refugees return to salvage belongings which they drag back to where they are camping out awaiting shelter hundreds of families are forced to sleep on the road they have been promised a ship a tent or a Municipal Building but these things have not yet materialized. 2 kilometers from moria camp local residents have set up a roadblock theyve heard that the government plans to send bulldozers to rebuild the camp and they want to stop them from getting through. Wrong about a point of the for years weve had problems all be all of groves destroyed the Sewage Treatment doesnt work the sewage runs to the sea and poises well they still are sheep if every day nothing has been lived theyre trying to rebuild the camp they dont want to move it elsewhere because its convenient for them were going to use our bodies as shields we cant do anything else weve finished anyway the refugees dont want to build either they want to leave but that is now more difficult the Asylum Service is burned out the offices and interview booths destroyed so as the paper archives that was housed here which means that many applications have to be filed from the beginning and many people have months longer to spend here than they did before this weeks files.

Egypts illegal housing problem is caused by its booming population now about 100000000 and rising as well as a lack of Affordable Homes and decades of government corruption. President Abdel Fattah Elsisi says the illegal construction could destroy the state arguing that more than a 3rd of buildings break the law he says 700000 violations have been registered and is threatening to send in the army to make sure the unwanted buildings are torn down. That spot rare protests in several cities such as alexandria a crowd saying to the president a message we dont want you the numbers may be small but the significance isnt egypt banned gatherings like this and 2013 dozens of people were reportedly arrested in similar rallies in july the military dominates the Decision Making process so that decisions are.

How their home could be illegal when they had paid power and water bills to the state for years and this is the military bulldozing homes in northern. Sinai and 2015. Rights groups say much if the destruction was unlawful and that the country should have dealt with these violations a long time ago when they took place throwing around 3000000 people in the street is unacceptable.
