10:02 pm
change the status quo there the nuclear armed neighbors have been locked in a standoff on the border for several weeks while the border dispute between india and china goes back decades but the tension has increased recently the area known as the x.i.i. chain like the uk and it's located along the himalayas the territory has been disputed since 1962 but there are these are the 1st casualties in 45 years as a result of fighting between the nuclear armed neighbors for weeks now beijing in new delhi of increased their military presence on both sides of the border they've accused one another of overstock stepping the so-called line of actual control that separates the. well my colleagues are here raman has reported extensively in india joins me now from doha swale good to see you what more can you tell us about the situation and also how this latest escalation fits into one of with as we've just been hearing is really
10:03 pm
a decades long tension between the countries. yes barbara the animosity between the 2 countries when it comes to border issues it's a decades long as you say it stands back way shortly after india's independence in 1947 where near a 900 $54.00 try to agree border demarcation with the chinese and even at that time there was still 120000 square kilometers of land that they could not agree on where that border would go add to the mix the dispute over in kashmir where certain parts of pakistan at mystic kashmir was handed over to the chinese in 1963 the chinese was edging their way west what's now the context of this has state despite the fact that these skirmishes we believe 20 indian soldiers killed we still don't know how many chinese military going to snow have been injured in this case at all and how they were injured but these countries have been ongoing and china's certainly
10:04 pm
ambition is at this moment to build a road network that would move its way westward along its country into pakistan and down into the arabian sea that it's called the china pakistan economic corridor or whether that's going to be to do with these recent we don't know unconfirmed reports is saying that the indian side had been constructing some think of it on the chinese demarcated like what is this is is true we don't know at the moment there's no independent verification of this but these skirmishes have been ongoing not just in this area. to the west of the country but also in 2017. small part of india to troops between nepal and the targets of the state of sick it that there was road construction this time by the chinese that the indians didn't like and there were skin issues that they managed to pull that forces back the skittishness barbara has been very much on
10:05 pm
a low level intensity the fact that there were no shots fired. this particular instance but still 20 soldiers were killed it is certainly a worrying aspect and india can ill afford a spat with china right now with coronavirus own gary and of course india not quite knowing its real relationship with president trump with the international support on this considering the china u.s. relationship for the moment i think the next 24 hours will be very delicate to teach basic a new delhi to try to talk to each other and try to solve this very quickly so her raman who's reported extensively in india joining us live from the hostel him as always thank you. the u.s. president has signed an executive order to reform the country's policing in response to weeks of protests against racism and police brutality the order encourages the use of best practices and bans the use of chokeholds unless on officers life is at risk it also allows for social workers to be deployed with
10:06 pm
officers to nonviolent cases including drug use and homelessness trying to hit back at calls to defund or dismantle the police saying americans want law and order the vast majority of police officers are selfless and courageous public servants they are great men and women when others run away from danger police run straight into harm's way often putting their lives at stake to protect someone. who they don't know or never even met well alan fischer joins us live now from the white house allan as we know of course there have been weeks of protests and calls for reform and now trungpa had this press conference that can a deviated into a bit of a pre-election rally at some points but when it comes to what has actually changed though what has trump now actually done. well an executive order really
10:07 pm
relies on the efforts of others to do something he is laying out the blueprint he's hoping that local police departments local authorities local states local cities local municipalities will take up the cudgel of what he has laid down he hopes that the senate and the house of representatives will provide funding so that there is better training as well so this is the president saying this is what i would like and handing you over and saying you know need to make it what's what's missing from the executive order is there is no significant police reform in this there is also is no notion of suggesting that there is systemic racism in the united states or that black people receive a different sort of experience at the hands of the police compared to others and so there are many who are suggesting that this simply doesn't go far enough certainly we've had from nancy pelosi the speaker of the house she has said in the last hour
10:08 pm
in the statement that there needs to be bold changes for a problem that has been around for a great deal of time and that is perhaps what donald trump is hoping for because at the moment we know that our discussions in both houses of congress that is looking at police reform and there are more significant changes being suggested now to get support in both houses that perhaps needs to be a tempering of expectation but donald trump is hoping that something will come out of congress that he can in fact sign and therefore a lot of the what will be done by congress but certainly there are many people who are saying that this doesn't go far enough donald trump they believe has essentially been posted missing for the last 2 weeks he hasn't done enough to take control of this situation is this going to be enough to stop the protests that we're seeing right across the country probably not and this is going to be an important election issue as we head towards november the 3rd. ellen fisher with the latest there from the white house island for the moment thank you all it's get some
10:09 pm
reaction more reaction chris salumi joins us live now from new york new york one of the places where the unions there have been particularly vocal so how are police forces and the unions they are reacting to trump's proposals. well you know it's interesting police unions have this reputation of being opposed to resistant to reform but given the climate in the country right now with demonstrators taking to the streets all over the country all over the world i think many see the writing on the wall in fact just over the weekend 3 of the largest police unions in california announced their own reform agenda citing a need for action in the wake of the killing of george floyd in the tremendous atmosphere of distrust between minority communities and the police and that reform agenda actually included some of the same things that president was talking about a national database that would keep track of officers who bennett queues of
10:10 pm
misconduct so that they can be rehired from one department to another use of force standards that are national and emphasize deescalation of violence that are less militaristic and even in the case of chokeholds a ban on chokehold is something that police have notoriously been resistant to. since the george floyd incident at least a dozen police departments in california minneapolis and others have actually already moved to ban the kind of show called that was used against george floyd and it's interesting to note that here in new york the new york police department right behind me chokehold have actually been banned here for quite some time they were banned in 2014 when eric garner was killed by a police officer using a chokehold in that case the officer lost his job because of using that chokehold but he never faced any criminal charges and that has been a real. sore spot for activists that incident helped launch the black lives matter
10:11 pm
movement years ago and they say this is an unresolved issue here in new york they've actually gone as far as making changing the law to not only ban chokeholds for police officers but make them criminally liable they can be criminally charged now if they use these chokeholds and someone dies as a result so police here know that these are there are these calls for change changes have happened. they are i'm sure happy to hear donald trump expresses support for police one of the complaints we've been hearing from the unions here is that all police officers are being demonized as a result of what happened to george floyd and they think that you know they shouldn't all be held to this blame for that incident and president trump seemed to support that view krisna salumi with the latest the from new york and reaction
10:12 pm
