Ive been a strategy welcome to news asia glad you could join us now this blue lake that you will see behind me in the him is the scene of an unfolding military standoff between india and china troops from both countries stationed along the banks of the penguin make have now accused each other of fighting shots if true it would be the 1st time in more than 4 decades that shots have been fired on the disputed border its a border that stretches for some 3500 kilometers and is under marketed since may troops from both countries have been amassing at various points after both sides accuse the other of violating each others claimed to tree ill be getting the view from india in china in a bit but 1st a quick primer on whats been happening since me. A remote Mountain Region for which soldiers have died and superpowers faced off. Tuesdays incident along indias led dark border with china risks a fresh standoff in one of the worlds most explosive border conflicts the red line marks the boundary around 3500 kilometers long between these Nuclear Armed rivals known as the line of actual control or l. A. See it is not a hard border china and india have never agreed on where it should lie tensions began soaring in may both sides assembled troops in the area amid reports that chinese soldiers had crossed the borders at various points and set up camps on territory claimed by india china ordered its military to prepare for quote worst Case Scenarios in the area on june 15th the 2 sides clashed on a steep mountainside 20 indian soldiers were killed with chinese casualties unknown firearms had been banned to prevent escalation but chinese troops allegedly used weapons like iron spiked rod in hand to hand combat an indian source passed this image to the b. B. C. The deadly clashes sparked protests across india demonstrators burned effigies of chinese leader xi jinping and demanded boycotts of chinese goods paging said it was defending its territorial integrity accusing indian troops of crossing the border twice and provoking chinese soldiers. And tensions have not subsided since as indias army chief confirmed just a few days ago. The situation along the sea is slightly tense. Keeping a deal of the situation under taken some precautions the deployment on safety and security and these deployments to be under took along the elysee. Both sides traded blame for tuesdays incident each saying the other had fired the shots so what happens next a month krishnan is china correspondent for the hindu newspaper and author of the book india china thailand and victor gao is Vice President of the center for china and mobilization and a man who knows the pinking in Chinas Communist Party welcome to your both gentlemen mr goh id like to begin with you for china has called indias image moves in the bang gong make area a grave military provocation what does china expect to see happen next to ease tensions well we understand tensions are rising along the dispute is the line of actual control begin china india in the western part of the border and this does not bode well from the chinese perspective china does not want to have a wall with india and china wants to do whatever they can to calm down the situation to the osheas all. Talk about a solution all coming down of the tases but it doesnt seem that the situation is going that way and it is learned that firing happened on the indian side which actually broke a record of almost 40 years this is very alarming i personally do not want to see any of flaring up of tension all military conflicts between china and india which ive called 2 super populations in the world they need to have peace and stability rather than war and conflicts we have to have peace and stability unchristian in chennai how can be some stability be achieved. Well thats the question and i think the later is events in the last few days our aim for 2 reasons the pluses its a new front and weve already had 4 or 5 different spots along the n. A. C. Where theres been heightened tension or since me and of course we had a terrible loss of life on june 16th in the one valley and i think this new sector in south of barrowing 8 shows that all the talks and both sides have been happening havent really achieved much headway dobbin then diffuse the situation you know having immune from demand is extremely worrying and as santa i think the fact that hes hiring for the 1st sciences 975 huge concern i mean you know he said that the chinese that i had fired 1st in trying to dislodge go forward positions at each i. E. The city of fireflies was a classic case of arson said she said but i think looking for one can only hope that the talks of the section of president. Her and his entourage tomorrow in moscow hopefully can be in the way for some kind about this enemy the 2 sides but i have a little concern really because the guy talks about b. D. S. Levels of the embassy or miniseries defense ministers since may so what is maybe the reason for optimism and say it lets see what victor gao has to say on that for to go as an on for mentioned lots of rounds of talks that have been Something Like 5 rounds of talks as fighters ground commanders are concerned and he said i would talk about them as an on french and what exactly is china expecting from these foreign minister level talks that are due to be held in moscow. Well i think china wants to have as many talks as needed to avoid a war military conflict between china and india because china does not want to have a walk by doesnt mean that china is afraid of a war against for example we truly believe that neither india nor china should be involved in a war against each other the 2 largest populations in the world so i think china will be very very patient in talking to the near side to rationalize everything and to give out the pros and cons of peace versus wall for example and i hope india we also be rational and will be reasonable and we will not be pushed forward by another big power which may actually have its own geopolitical schemes try to run hold a war between india rick to go you almost make it sound like the solutions are entirely with india what would you have india do. No i think both china and india need to con down and withdraw from the line of actual control which may actually cause more cases to rise and both sides need to have cool head rather then rid next as we sometimes call to agitate the situation and to promote the getting out of the control or get it out of our portion of the friction points only ground which is a very very dangerous if control of the situation is lost in the west a section of china india border i assume also be lost in the east a section more than 2000 kilometers long of call it between china and india maybe up in great conflict and this would crack down both. China for many yes right on most of the border in appears to be under market and under is all been heard about to come to you on and youve been a Foreign Correspondent in trying for a number of heroes what according to you is the reason this border remains under zor for so many decades. I know hes like to say its left or were from history but i think the biggest problem has been that china has for many reasons a stall on the marketing land actually control so this is a different from settling the dispute was of course is going to be very complicated given that territory something that also most as well countries but i think the most rational beings aboard syster do is to sit in class i have a seat and the different perceptions of the embassy now didnt settle the boundary and right doing that they can avoid the kind of incidents weve seen since may and frankly speaking for many years that type of figure are right china doesnt want to terrify the elysee they seem to prefer abbey and i think that that really hasnt helped the situation and the one point out of me since may i think the biggest problem has been a mismatch between what weve been hearing from chinese officials about wanting peace and the actions of the young on the ground this seems to be. The biggest i think evidence of that is since many years lost access to about 1000 square meters when you specialty this right i think that really shows where the changes have been made on the ground lashley to the date that a tense situation that we had previously and i think going back to what it was before me is something that in the area would demand in the talks would be had in the next few days rick to go last question to you is china playing a double game. No i dont think so i think as to what happened in the deep night of july the 15th even Prime Minister modi of india said that the Chinese Military was not on the indian side of the line of actual control and if youre really lucky just to break so you will know it was the india soldiers penetrating into the chinese side of the l. A c. And. Resulting in a brawl resulting in about 20 soldiers lost losing their life not we need to be very specific we need to be very pragmatic in terms of dealing with these very inflammatory situation along the china d n a c but that megatrend is that both china india need to embrace peace and stability rather than being agitated one way or another are 3 of very very destructive power of war and conflict we havent even there for the timing but thank you so much for joining us to everyone unchristian internet and victor go thank you so much for your time.

Recognize where exactly. One morning last our culture history in their. Travel. Extremely worth a visit. Welcome to the show butlins opera houses are cautiously reopening with strict time jean and distancing regulations and well find out how that works for an opulent offer of production and also coming up. German photographer and is a veteran on the worlds conflict zones most recent work looking at the facts of Climate Change in subsaharan africa. And we pay a visit to Rossana Orlandi in milan whose gallery is an atheist address or highly original contemporary design. 6 months after theaters concert halls office and cinemas were shut down ad hoc by the coronavirus pandemic there are hopeful signs that culture will prevail opera houses in vienna and here in berlin have held their season premieres and for berlins deutsche meant an extraordinary performance for extraordinary times. The joy kicks off the new season not with grand opera but with a groundbreaking simp phonic project which director mary eve seen your whole interweaves beethovens 7th symphony was less much changed jazz using dancers and life video she would like the experiences of female refugees on the way to europe. Its a fiction. But at the same time its really its kind of documentary fiction the countering. Individual fates of refugees as representative of the nightmare faced by tens of thousands the story of from senegal who survived the dangerous crossing of the mediterranean sea. She faces insecurity fear hunger and physical violence the dancers transform the traumatic ordeal into a breathtaking choreography. Its then so because a scene thats a body of these women treating as an object saw denser because they are able with body to to see many scenes and. I think its a mountain persecution but at the same times a physical persecution. For me was the best way to show. Baby talk was originally meant to debut in the french city of madness but the current virus pandemic put the project on hold the premier out the door back involves major restrictions only 450 of around 2000 seats can be occupied audience members must be one meter 50 apart and the 90 minute show has no break so that therefore you can remain empty for. In this piece the orchestra is on stage. To begin with what you do is that now applying the distancing laws each string player has to have their own music stand i think that would not have been possible in the orchestra pit but it is possible on our large stage. Takes some getting used to because there further apart but it works because we have walls at the back so the sound is reflected into the auditorium but its a constellation weve never had before to coronavirus. Corner beating to. Baby door makes effective use of limited possibilities hard hitting music and theater production with a deep be humanitarian message. And Adrian Kennedy was at that performance last night at the door open your 1st night back at the opera adrian how was that why it was a very special occasion for farmers and audience alike it felt a little bit exclusively for an occupied seats left and right very strange really the orchestra and performance got a special. Beginning before even started the show successfully juxtaposed beethovens 7th with this intense. Tinge of music from the quartets and that worked remarkably well with this brilliantly acted and danced refugee story at the end got big applause from the relatively small corona audience all audience that was a starting to the season but not an opera per se and yet they want to go ahead with a brand new production of wagners ring cycle thats a pretty big deal that is a big deal and its the. New ring cycle from the torch to opera for 34 years the famous time tunnel ring from goods friedrich premiered in 1900 forms last performed in 2070 a new ring is they want seen a generation challenge for any opera house and this one has been touted as a ring for the 21st century it will be directed by steph and her haim and its been on hold because of the current virus pandemic but now with about he is almost ready and could crimea as soon as september 27th ok and true to form for wagner now obviously its a marathon our problem with at least 2 breaks in a massive orchestra how is that supposed to actually work in times of corona its difficult but the torch open has been working together with a husband and wife team of opera laughing doctors whove been for vital 3 freak ovitz testing every morning when they get the green light rehearsals go ahead at noon this process will now be applied to the musicians who will have to be in the pits because its a big orchestra for wagner and the latest news is that in berlin the distance between audience members may be reduced to one metre the minimum distance just in time for the permian so thats good news too but so i say we have to wait and see nothing is certain ok so the vacuum is actually the 2nd opera in the ring cycle what happened to the im glad that was actually supposed to be out in june we should get see that next year deutsche oper actually did put on a production of rheingold but this was a special minimalistic rowing gold 990 production for 22 musicians and was performed in the open now on top of the opera house car park ok so obviously dr opal just itching to get back to performing opera thanks very much for bringing us that story and well look forward to that thank you via thanks very much a. J. And kennedy. Well another slice of reality this time in black and white comes from photographer andy spear our whose work in the middle east and the balkans has appeared in publications like Time Magazine and the new yorker and now over the years his photos have more than witness to the effects of Climate Change on war torn regions like his most recent project in africa region. It looks. Like chad in africa for thousands of years people have lived from fishing and farming. But this is actually the scene of one of the worlds greatest natural catastrophes 20 years ago the lake had already lost 90 percent of its water mass now trying to change in extreme weather events are frightening the livelihoods of some 50000000 people. German photographer and the spear is documenting the situation. As our late few 1000000 people live in the sawhill region over the next years and decades their livelihoods will disappear they need to go somewhere they will go somewhere the question is where foreigners who are in. Spirit has seen firsthand how the Climate Crisis has led to conflict war and the key and terrorism extreme weather events are on the rise harvests have been damaged or destroyed and large areas of the like are no longer accessible. The twin doing resources are no longer enough to sustain the population and are fiercely fought over villages have been burned to the ground. And the spirit has worked in syria afghanistan and in the balkans he uses a wide angle lens forcing him to get close to his subjects spira has photographed local farmers of warlords and islam. He understands the connections between hunger war and religious extremism around lake chad. Horan comes across the lake at night recruiting men and of course the offer of 500. 00 a month and a kalashnikov is attractive for someone who sees the entire livelihood disappearing. Travel to nigeria where the conflict between nomadic herders and settled to farming communities has been escalating for years and its considered one of the bloodiest civil conflicts in the world spirit accompanied muslim fulani herders driving their cattle self during the drawing season but with grazing lands diminishing conflict was inevitable the herds fed on the farmers fields the pharmacist shot the cattle and in revenge the nomads burnt their villages both sides feel they are right. Yvonne split off we heard the story of the christian farming communities too. That was in this village called pari that was attacked by the fulani and completely destroyed dozens of people were massacred. Over 1000000 people from around lake chad are currently displaced due to hunger war and extremist terror. And the spiros photographs witness to the devastating effects of this kind of violence.
