Welcome to the program. Chinese troops along with. Its troops. The confrontation took place in the gulf. Between the 2 sides or the last month this is the 1st incident. In more decades. What is the latest on this. Im going to actually happen here and all its all is that there are that limited she meetings going on and on the scene for the not to far off from there thats why i didnt happen in an effort to defuse the situation that ive also been heavy Media Coverage invalid and yeah ive spent less time and the occupant reports that in just in time her last minister met the document actually does to discuss the situation on indian media is continually all sort of or take that they believe that have been casualties on the chinese side as well however that has been no official statement on this from china india has confirmed that shell put solar just including a high level office so has been fitted in standoff last evening that also reports that most shots were fired so this was a physical standoff and of course theyd concerning because why did this happen during the deescalation process this is one of the most serious incidents also violent standoff between the 2 questions over the last 4 decades you spoke of abuse going to some processes and that is in line with the communication protocols that exist between both countries to deal with such kinds of disagreements but powers a come to this kind of a violent standoff. Member nation that is a. Disc that you can look incidents over the last 6 weeks that have been high tensions on this particular de facto why dont you between get in the adoption by line no actually im short on eating meat that was another visit disguised michelle as one just from both sides but i enjoy it as that now over the last 2 weeks high government she talks have tried to defuse the situation and last evenings exercises were actually an escalation of the escalate well fights and agreed to meet official statements that we insist on doing this to talk and not to contradict so that is a false a contradiction in a sense that also statements coming out that china is saying that in that instance so just actually to estatic sharif in yes i think that the incident happened on the indian side but of course will it sidespin have to talk this out to figure out how to not let this escalate as a run for members of this has been happening or for about a month now the standoff for our board level contact on the border im just wondering what the general mood in india is with regard to those continuing face off. Meditation there is a lot of anger and aggression in india right now in the flock to have seen let you know theres much less church asked cheney as it does against caucus not and then it comes to make that china analysts believe that this might be because of china now to conventional so be your duty in terms of its military and in the boss mind that have been in debt to him so i know that while its a speech you have of getting at which is on the economics site there was an ad that became very popular quite i mean china lets took off in a gather its an effort to also removed it dropped from peoples forms but of course theres a massive amount of trade between the 2 countries and this would not do any harm that much that much to deem how it will be or also if youre having a contest of efforts from extenders on Indian Television channels as that of a director let me must respond to that was a lot of life has happened on the indian side and india must not be beat me because it has your resume analyst that in mind the chinese aggression may be an effort to gain wanted to be an on this controversial line of actual control there are those where the devil thank you very much for that in iran north korea has confirmed it has blown up an office that was set up to improve relations with south korea the explosion was captured in Surveillance Video produced by the sounds of Defense Ministry insert all of the jointly as an office was situated in the town of case hong just north of the border the attack on the building comes as tensions between the 2 sides escalate over the leafletting Campaign John young is furious at cyrils failure to stop activists sending propaganda over the border into the north ive been on. And then have spoke to correspondent frank smith in the south korean capital seoul and asked him about the role of a team you would jong the sister of north koreas leader kim jong il. If we look back a couple of months d to those rumors that surfaced about the grave illness of leader kim jong il. We were talking about who might be the next leader of north korea and of course kim your junks name repeatedly came up i talked to an expert here in the south korean capital and he said if we see her actual and her profile in north korean propaganda increase then that game for the crown to be the next leader of north korea would be over and we could you know then conclude that kim cumulus young is is the likely heir to the north korean leadership not to some of the other stories making news at this malta has opened an investigation into alleged links between a former police chief and people implicated in the mother of prominent journalist deafening. 3 years ago. Stepped down in january as Police Commissioner amid accusations that he bungled the probe into the journalists. The u. S. Food and Drug Administration has revoked its emergency use authorization for hydrox security queen to treat a covert 19 the agency says the may chose a drug is not effective in treating the disease. Here in germany 2 suspected right wing extremists are standing trial accused of killing a regional politician well to luka was shot at his house was a year ago he was a supporter of johnson and Young Americans decision to allow hundreds of thousands of migrants into germany in 10 to 15. U. S. President donald trump says hes going to cut the number of american troops in germany by nearly 10000 from current levels of about 35000 he said he will stick the action because berlin had failed to meet its defense spending commitments nato secretarygeneral stoltenberg says Alliance Members we need to hold a discussion about how and when a withdrawal would take place present trump and i discussed this issue during a phone call last week and my message will start to the u. S. Presence in europe its good for europe but its also good for north america and United States because the transatlantic bomb is essential to the strength and the success of the alliance the United States and the president has announced what they have announced. But it remains but its not yet decided how and when and. This decision will be implemented and i expect this to be an issue that will be discussed at the upcoming defense ministerial meeting. And i was spoken with the president also spoke you know there are presented civil the Us Administration and i also spoke with the German Defense minister on the 5th ago called boller so this now in only going dialogue on d. C. Sure. Naturally president move has shaken nato and especially germany which serves as a base for many u. S. Troops deployed in iraq and afghanistan. For 70 years tens of thousands of american troops have been stationed in germany for europe their presence at bases like spangdahlem a guarantor of peace for the us and expression of its military might. On monday donald trump confirmed he would be withdrawing almost 10000. 00 of them blaming bear lens there we have to meet its 2 percent need to defend spending commitments but he wrongly said it was indebted to the military alliance germanys delinquent theyve been delinquent for years and they only nato billions of dollars and they have to pay it so were protecting germany and it delinquent that doesnt make sense like the u. S. Military presence in germany was a rigidly a bulwark against the soviet threat during the cold war and continues to be a deterrent against potential russian aggression trumps decision threatens to further strain the relationship between the 2 allies. Germany since its serenity since 1900 is a very Strong Partner and we would like to be handled all saw even and with the United States this is not the way you treat your close partners. U. S. President s have long called for germany to increase defense spending but some suspect the latest decision is a reaction to german chancellor Angela Merkels refusal to attend the g. 7 summit that was to be hosted by the u. S. President later this month all trump seems to see on the america will not anybody else has systemic rival. Therefore. Personality does matter is this is also part of a neo isolationist policy so its less about the individuals although. Individuals do matter it is a new self definition of what the American Interest seems to be its not clear if trump will be able to push through the troop withdrawal which faces stiff opposition in Congress Even members of his own party opposed the plan. And earlier we spoke to Alexander Graff alum stoff hes a member of the German Parliament the bundestag and belongs to the opposition free democrats we asked him what trumps move means for multilateral german us cooperation as a better effect we are very strong proponents of multilateralism that we regretted very much when the United States left the paris corridor left unesco left the w. H. O. Are about to leave it leaving behind the arms control treaties so as a matter of fact this is a point on which we support chancellor merkels government we would just like to see more success here and a more determined attitude on the part of the German Government when it comes to strengthening International Organizations because when america act to kate as a leader inside these organizations china may take over may want to take over and its something that we as germans and europeans have to counter nato still is our Security Alliance of last resort and lets not forget 25000 american soldiers are bound to stay my military context tell me that the corporation or the military professional level. Very well to this to this day and the political level as weve just discussed here we see difficulties developing the military still cooperates very closely. We stay in germany now where the country has rolled out its official app to fight the spread of covert 19 the technology concerned warnings to users if theyve been in close contact with anyone confirmed to have the virus the government hopes it will help shorten infection chains the app is voluntary when you talk about some of the data privacy concerns with an expert after this report. The demo version of germanys coronavirus tracing app was unveiled in late may it has a simple design and its easy to use. The app was developed by German Software giant s a p together with Deutsche Telekom the firms were only commissioned to create it in early may until then the German Government had planned to use technology that would have put user data on to central servers critics warn that the system was not secure and too vulnerable to hackers so berlind switched to a decentralized solution now users remain anonymous and the encrypted data is wiped from their smartphones after 2 weeks. The covert app uses bluetooth to determine which other smart phones are in the vicinity and for how long if an app user tests positive for the corona virus other users who were in longer contact with that person get a warning message some experts say that around 50000000 people in germany would have to use the app for it to be really useful in the fight against the virus it was all club behind us we also have to make it clear to people that were not going to suddenly get rid of the virus through this app its just one approach of many that can at least help thin out the chain of infection if not actually interrupt it the question because. This is the logo of the official german coded tracing app starting today it can be installed on i o s an android mobile phones. Joining me now is professor evan bettinger in pots hes the head of the Digital Health center of the. Institute professor bettinger welcome would you call it a public duty for people to download and use this if they can. Yes certainly i think the. Tools to who keep on top of the transmission if any of coronaviruses one is so that he. Would transmit mission identifying cant and so here we have certainly the coronal worn out warning as the tool that was unveiled today and it certainly seems to be really well done out from this privacy and security and until now the perspective is it. Dooney of for a citizen to install and use it in my opinion yes we should all pay off all efforts to go ahead download it and use it and keep it active there are other things that we need to consider which go beyond that is we need to consider preemptive screening testing of large populations that are high risk for transmission of the virus etc etc and certainly the mark of the good old musket. Wearing down at crowded spaces but today is the day for the grown up and i do think its a well the sign to all i do have hope. We will be able to see masses of citizens in germany a download and use it or wired to make it really effective so thats a bill challenge yer thinking about that im in there and you certainly think its a duty as citizens duty to darn know this hour but then theres an opinion poll out there that shows that less than half the people in this country are willing to use this do you think the usefulness of this app has already been undermined. In a sense yes certainly in the context of the work to date of other countries that have introduced similar already encounters and so here it very clear fact that needs to be discussed it needs to be concerted its a very clear political decision in charity to make this from the beginning from the federal government opt in so its voluntary and its an r in that means the burden of the citizen to activate this thing and to make it work is very highly. Sought there are other options for voluntary. Activity in this space we just as well opt out. And we know from discussions around Organ Transplantation and others with opt out that means the citizen has the right to turn it off but doesnt have the burden to use it a lot it activated and all the things associated with it so the opt out is unfortunately not considered model suggests that it would have been much more effective. To be implemented as an out but you know time will tell you you know if we keep talking about it isnt there professor burton have asked us to listen to what they had to say when we asked them how whether they would like to in fact download this app or not we havent a cent of and then we come to your optimization. And this whole coronavirus thing seems very strange to be so i wouldnt be interested in the app for security reasons. And its too much surveillance. And when i see how it works in other countries like china and then i feel uncomfortable about it but i dont really know how the f. B. I. Work so i cant really judge it. I mean. Thats like instagram a snapchat you use all my data anyway so its the same thing. I dont have Internet Access on my cell phone so i cant use it. You know nowadays you never know if people are passing on your data it could be a benefit. Also amounts to surveillance especially if everyone has to have it. Professor concerns about privacy how does this combat end of surveillance to tracing apps used elsewhere for example in china. Well i think it is certainly with regard to the Previous Team protecting and preserving it is top notch it is they dont they are if it works with very little personal information and from there because if i feel that it is as good as it gets when it comes to a tool of critical nature to help control the trend its mission of the virus and to make their situation it is completely different from the efforts in china and other countries where you have to you are tracking ok ssion personal information and part of that monitoring so it is people the corona one have really works with our personal information and that they just they use off. On the smartphone one of the used search and from their perspective meyer what has been accomplished here its a cure it is a preserving pretty risky what were hearing from. The people you had interviewed in the comments in the street is that interment in particular we have a very deep seated. When it comes to personal data and it was very clear perma number of the statements of the citizens i do believe that the government and all of florida are using all of the fight against. A massive task to provide information about this technology duryea. Made clear to the people that the prison is preserve it is secure and the data of every individual are protected from his own berthing our president and thank you so much. My pleasure. Thats been a quick roundup of other developments in the coronavirus pandemic that are now more than 8000000 confirmed cases around the world nearly 437000 people have died thats according to the tally by the Johns Hopkins university in the u. S. New zealand says it has 2 new cases of covert benteen ending a 24 day run of no new infections the cases of 2 women who have traveled from the u. K. China has reimposed some travel restrictions in the Capital Beijing as a battle to contain a new outbreak they have a 14 Year Coronavirus cases reported on tuesday more than half of them in beijing meanwhile venice has reopened its canals and landmarks to foreign visitors its a vital step forward for a city so dependent on its Tourism Industry but more than 3300. 00 visitors im sorry a year for each inhabitant many venetians of thinking about how they can learn from the past to safeguard their citys future. Then this is legendary waterways without the masses a rare commodity here gondoliers are slowly returning to the cities can now but so far only a few visitors have indulged themselves. Usually packed with tourists at this time of the year piazza san marcos seems almost deserted after the Coronavirus Crisis brought the city to a near standstill then is gradually opening up to visitors again. But not everyone is looking forward to the return of the masses jane demo still sees this is an opportunity for a much needed change she has been advocating for a more sustainable form of tourism one that doesnt put the future of the city at risk the problem with venice is that its in a dreamy. Delicate system and and you cant just. Do anything you like to venice it needs to be. Treated carefully otherwise there wont be any venice left in the future and we need to be responsible about the legacy of venice and think about what venice has given to us other people have a right to get that too she tells us venice has a unique way of life that is threatening to disappear jane the most wants to risk to engage with the city again spending more time in restaurants and museums and not rushing through in a few hours. The citys population has dropped from 175000 after world war 2 to just above 50000 inhabitants now a fraction of the roughly 30000000 visitors who come here every year critics say venice has been suffering from over tourism for too long it has driven out residents were simply made the city unlivable for them the Coronavirus Crisis now has given venice a break from cruise ships and daytrippers but for an economy almost entirely depending on tourism reinventing itself poses a great challenge though the last months without guests were difficult for. He still imagines a different future for his city the coauthor of the Upscale Hotel once is to enjoy a slow as he calls it a true venetian experience the huge throngs of tourists in the streets could be reduced through Better Regulation if. There are days with too many people that the work is because of wrong wrong. Of the events of the cd because. Theyre bored in the same period of the festival of the scene and the thing. The opening of. Unity and i mean. We should do. More to organize it on the. 6 months. While many agree venice needs to change the way it handles its visitors the citys tourism counsellor wants to further assess the situation before applying any drastic measures. This is not the museum or. You know some cap city in the world i dont think so many many people speak about the. 50 mean 30000000 man song its not so i want to count. How many people. Every day and i know. Former resident and activist jenna musto just empty words right now that doesnt seem to be political will at all i think the politicians are too focused on making money out of venice in the short term and by thinking in that way that kind of killing the goose that lays the golden egg with travel restrictions now being lifted all over europe the nations should not take too long to decide what kind of future they see for their city.
