the immediate hope of reconciliation the north has become enraged by defectors who make calls human scum releasing propaganda balloons into its territory kim jong the increasingly influential sister of leader kim jong un had warned the military could destroy the building in retaliation. and confirmation came chews day afternoon with a faint plume of smoke spotted north of the border. this corresponds to the mindset of an enraged people to force the human scum and those who have shelter them to pay dearly for the crimes the joint liaison office was established in 2018 i made the flurry of summit diplomacy between the 2 koreas and between the north and the united states since then all talks including getting rid of the north's nuclear weapon threat have stalled by this action north korea seems set on creating
4:03 pm
a new crisis on the korean peninsula it's already cut the hot lines across the demilitarized zone border with the south making any attempts at reconciliation far more difficult and possibly signaling a return to the extreme tensions of the past that's something the liberal south korean president moon j.n.t. has wanted to avoid at all costs but even his government seems to be returning to acrimonious warnings from which we sternly warned that we will strongly respond if the north continue so take steps to worsen the situation adding that all responsibility for this destructive act falls on the north bride al-jazeera sold. now in washington d.c. has there been any reaction yet from the u.s. . no official reaction yet from my the state department
4:04 pm
the national security council or indeed from the president himself but it can be satin that all of those agencies and the white house will be speaking to their south korean allies will be monitoring north korea will be talking to the japanese as well at this stage the north koreans have said that this is because of a failure of diplomacy by south korea and also by the united states though you remember it's exactly 2 years ago this month that donald trump was in singapore at that big summit with the north korean leader kim jong il and he was talking about how there was potentially going to be a breakthrough on relationships on the korean potential of course the 2nd summit in vietnam fell apart but if this was aimed at getting donald trump's attention it may not walk because he's a bit busy at the moment with the covert crisis with the economic fallout of the covert crisis with the ongoing protests i rode in the water around the united
4:05 pm
states over criminal justice and he's also got an election just a few months away so unless there was an easy win available to him this isn't going to get his attention. you know had as allan you can never be surprised what the president might back used to tweet is his admiration of camp john and so what does this mean for him there were aleisha between the u.s. and north korea. well it's going to be difficult to see any sort of movement in the next 5 months before the election there are those who believe that donald trump was too ambitious from the very beginning he believed in a top don't approach to negotiations that he was going to speak to kim jong il and he also described as well rachele little rocket man remember that when he was criticizing him quite fiercely so the possibility that he could get denuclearize ation which is always been the u.s.
4:06 pm
policy since the 1950 since the end of the vietnam war and then other things would fall into place was perhaps too ambitious because the north koreans are so wedded to the idea of having a nuclear program that perhaps we should have started at a smaller level and build up to the big question is certainly we do member at that summit in vietnam kim jong un walked away because there was no we he was compromising on north korea's nuclear program it just was a step too far for him so if there was the possibility of starting small and building up then you would see yeah there's a possibility that something might happen between the united states and north korea but really at the moment with donald trump concentrating solely on getting reelected with nor immediate easy victory at hand it's not something that he's going to put a lot of time and effort into over the next 5 months ok alan fischer live in washington alan thanks as always. now robert kelly is a professor at present national university who specializes in the korean conflict
4:07 pm
explains why propaganda leaflets are being used as an excuse as tensions rise. the leafleting has been around for a good 20 years now at least made maybe even earlier than that right the north koreans have respond and they don't like it but they've never actually done this kind of stuff before and i think the real issue is probably that the americans have pushed the south korean government very hard not to cut a deal with north korea this south korean government is sort of the most doll bush on north korea in the history of south korea never before has south korea had a president who is bent over backwards for north korea to strike a deal as much as this current president jane yet because of the alliance with the americans moon has been very constrained in what he can do specifically on the rollback of sanctions and i think the north koreans are really frustrated after 3 years of this and i think that's why the rhetoric has gotten so much harsher this year so there were a couple of deals signed with the south koreans in the last couple of years and i think the north koreans are going to those they want really very substantial but i think the north koreans are going to sort of begin to roll those back as a way to signal their displeasure to south korean president and jane when jane's
4:08 pm
got less than 2 years left in his presidency trump has really offered a great deal to the north koreans i think the north korean see a window for some kind of deal which they thought was sort of wide open a couple of years ago fading away and i think they're pushing hard to try to get moon in his last year and a half of the president to really make some kind of major concessions so yes i would imagine the north koreans will continue to provoke what is important understand that that one actually lead to a conflict right in the north koreans know that they would lose even if they quote south korea alone they would lose certainly they fought the americans and the south koreans that would get crushed the north koreans will provoke what they want to actually allow things to escalate and spin out of control. 3 indian soldiers have been killed during fighting with chinese troops on the border happen in the disputed go on valley territory where efforts to deescalate tensions are underway it's the 1st time casualties have been reported during a stand off between the 2 since 1975 was withdrawn and joins us now from new delhi so liz what are you hearing. so the indian army saying
4:09 pm
that an officer and 2 soldiers were killed in what they're calling a violent faceoff on monday night and that military officers from both sides and walton talks in the region to try and defuse the situation as well as that we have india's defense minister holding talks with the head of the army and that's because what's happened is significant as you mentioned this is the 1st death in clashes that's resulted in from clashes in 45 years clashes a common they happen all the time as both sides patrol one of the world's longest disputed border is nearly 3 and a half 1000 kilometers but again the 1st death in 45 years and it happened as both sides were involved in trying to deescalate after recent tensions along the border last month there were a series of clashes along the it's the unofficial border known as the line of actual control or l.a. sea which china accused india of trespassing on its territory trying to build defense facilities in india maintain that it was on its territory and we had both
4:10 pm
sides bolstering their military presence in the region following those clashes but after that we had a lot of talk from both governments saying that they have a good relationship and that they've always been able to resolve any border disputes through dialogue and they had been speaking for the last 10 days and these deaths come despite those assurances from both sides that they would be escalating and now in india there are a lot of questions about whether the indian army and the indian government was being completely honest about the situation along the border and whether it has the situation under control ok elizabeth wrong with the latest new delhi let's thank you. china says it will continue dialogue with india but will not back down of tensions continue to train you has more from beijing well the chinese side has laid the blame for this all to cation slowly at the foot of india now according to jolly jen who's the foreign ministry spokesperson here in beijing he said that because of
4:11 pm
these intensifying scuffles have been taking place between china and india in recent months but there have been deescalating dialogues that had been taking place in the lead up to june and he said on june 6th a consensus between both sides was reached now we also know that chinese state media say that on that same day chinese military officers and weaponry were sent to the border to also conduct military exercises now according to tell you gen on monday this consensus was broken by the indian side let's have a listen to. what is shocking is that on june 5th during the indian troops seriously violated the consensus of the 2 sides crossed the border illegally twice and carried out provocative attacks on chinese personnel resulting in serious physical conflicts between the 2 border forces china has had at that it's made some representations to india its dismissed have any responsibility for this and that it
4:12 pm
will continue peaceful dialogue but at the same time china's ministry spokespersons have often said that time it will not back down from a fight if there is in fact any challenge to its sovereignty by india. now india and china share the world's longest unmarked border of the line in yellow that are about to see is the so-called line of actual control but there are several just needed areas on either side one of the main ones as oxides chan a province claimed by india but it's been administered by china since 1962 when the 2 countries went to war over the border the most recent serious tension was in 2017 are chinese road construction hundreds of troops from both sides to play on the auto an area between the time victor gallo in beijing he's the vice president of the center for china and globalization we appreciate your time so much so that the 1st thing sets in this tension about 40 years how significant is this
4:13 pm
well 1st of all it's very unfortunate that tensions have been tearing up alone china india and told the. president a whole peace will prevail in dialogue and negotiation will be very amicable between china and india neither china nor india want to have a war between the 2 countries because that would be very detrimental to indian interest as well as to chinese interest neither china nor india won't to hold for any conflict scenario up alone their very long very arduous montanus told us therefore let's hope for calm there's for hopeful rationality prevailing on both sides and. they are in existence and both countries need to be aware of the look and without you we're going to let ocean let me ask you victor so this happened in the midst of what was already an attempt to
4:14 pm
deescalate and then something obviously went wrong so what needs to happen what would you like to see happen. i do not have all the details about the casualties on both sides but i'm pretty sure that no gun ish belts have being fired by india obeidi china probably as has happened many times before there are lots of physical fight against each other fist fights and other bodily collisions for example and maybe some soldiers went a little bit too thought. too extreme resulting in casualties from both side it is unfortunate and i present them to the mall whichever dance on whichever side the chinese the indians and i hope no dance will ever happen again between the soldiers of the truce sites and deescalation is a must neither china nor india want to have more and more tensions on their border
4:15 pm
eventually even spilling out of control. victor gao joining us from beijing victor thank you very much thank you for having me so it's going to dish all perspective on this. is a retired n.d. an army colonel a military analyst says the indian government is trying to downplay the situation but it is an african development. this is. extremely extremely serious confrontation. probably the most serious since 1975 when 4 indian troops were killed by the chinese soldiers on the border but it all began about a couple of months ago when chinese troops more lies to the indian site seem to think this was a normal springtime exercise that that merely was during the people's liberation army except that the people's liberation army to arm rest in wielding green did
4:16 pm
territory it has occupied territory that it had now not claimed earlier and have been coming in they have established bunkers the air defenses and the indian side has not been able to pick them so far in fact from the indian political sort of dynamic that is taking place with the indian opposition blaming the ruling party for having let china and soldiers into england saw and heard the government the indian government is actually downplaying the whole and saying that no nothing much has really happened except of this latest incident has blown the roof off that position there are now lower indian bodies being flown back to delhi and this is going to result in political pressure on the government to act. plenty more and the news hour including catching up on contact tracing germany launches a tracking app to help in the fight against the coronavirus. desperate for food

4:20 pm
a clinical professor in pathology at the university of hong kong way appreciate your time very much. are these flareups to be expected. yeah i think so i think what he's saying is that even in countries feel like china should come $53.00 days or whatever without need case it's not surprising that we have ordering with so many countries that there will be cases which will be coming in and which will cause exact rights and yet again it's occurring way of getting a lot of people coming together and also in this case another food market so is the way to stay on top of it is testing testing testing or is it more about how you lift restrictions. you look i think that what you say is very good is that the advice case it is going to be the testing which is going to pick it up and also i think that this got to be a realisation that is going to be in these areas where you're getting lots of
4:21 pm
people together that's going to be the hot spots and so which means that cisco to be fumbling rigorous attention to these types of hygiene which takes place in these large markets the that the jury is a little bit out on the other where this virus that actually come from initially people so it could be imported salmon but i haven't seen any hard evidence to indicate that this was a cause but certainly it does seem to see this to be like like with blue hand it's from contaminated surfaces being to multiple people being infected about over 200000 people thought has not been so unlike who hand i think the chinese authorities will up to speed on things up on accessing so i don't think that we'll see we saw one who had not so yes so that is my question do you feel how do you feel about what you are saying there may be blips along the way but do you have any level of confidence that there won't be
4:22 pm
a huge 2nd wave or is it just really 2 hearts and that. well i but what was seen is that you know it's gone from 27 new cases today and as with the previous news report indicated just the next couple of days way to do with the repetition thing will be indicating whether or not it's going to pass it off or though it's going to continue to spike up this spike and an increase and said that but because now beijing is far better at doing the testing and the isolation i think that they'll be able to keep this one fumble 'd under control rather than what happened before and in late december. mr nichols thank you so much for your time appreciate it that's right have a good evening. pakistan's government has reimposed what it calls smart lockdown following a record rise and run a virus infections parts of islam a bot of the shower have already and sealed off areas of lahore and other cities to follow the government's warning infections could soar to one and

4:29 pm
tool take that their coverage and their treatment of her and on to a different level kind of if you can help to build people who've been in contact with others who've been affected more quickly but it's been possible up to now every extra hour to board about the dangers of infection as a win in the fight against this virus is one of the problems that the government when this happened bringing it sat is previously issues that many people were concerned would the data that's gathered here really be anonymous could data protection be in short ministers say yes it can but the interesting thing is that surveys suggest the germans down the middle on this 40 percent yes they say they will download but around 40 percent say they want ministers hope that in the course of the next few weeks and months as the pandemic progresses that many people will realize that they can use this map and it will give them a degree more safety will certainly that's what ministers hope. a cheap and widely
