a count. on the world trade organization find saudi arabia broke global rules and failing to stop a pirate broadcaster stealing content from a qatari sports network. welcome to the program a day off the north korea blew up a liaison office that was used to communicate with south korea its military is announcing further escalations the army says it will redeploy troops near the heavily fortified border and demilitarized zone it also intends to resume regular military exercises and reestablish guard posts in frontline areas on top of this north korea has rejected souls' offer to discuss reducing tensions and for its part south korea says it will no longer accept unreasonable behavior from its neighbor well rob mcbride has more now from you on the south korean side of the border. i think generally there is a feeling of disappointment and how this all seems to be unraveling and unraveling

so quickly i think also among a number of people there will be concern about just how bad this war of words will get out but also i think generally in south korea there is a feeling of we have been here before people here are very philosophical about these kind of cycles of crisis and then reconciliation they've been through this kind of thing before what's different this time possibly is that there was really a feeling of a potentially that this was going to lead to some kind of breakthrough that we haven't seen in the past and that will obviously leave many people here disappointed where we are now this is paid to it's about as close as you can get in south korea to the d.m.z. it's another few kilometers further on from here but it is also one of the crossing points for the main rail links between north and south that gives you an idea of the legacy of the conflict and also hopes of future coexistence hopes that until

recently at least had been very much alive and well one of the bridges here was destroyed during the war and has been left to like that but the other bridge was restored and then in a previous rounds of reconciliation they actually reconnected the rail link between north and south it's connected it's ready to roll just add trains the feeling was that the negotiations reconciliations were going so well this time that it was going to possibly lead to regular train services restarting between north and south which would have been something quite historic obviously all of that now seems increasingly farfetched especially as we get this developing war of words it's really the acrimony of the old we have kim jong she is the increasingly influential and powerful sister of the north korean leader who's become almost the point person when it comes to lobbying insults at the south branding south korea's president been jailed in as brazen and shamed. yes and then we turn we now have the presidential office the blue house the government of new j.m.

which until now has been very conciliatory trying to keep things on track retaliating in kind it seems talking about her comments being rude and senseless and saying that the south korean government will not tolerate unrepeatable woods and backs in future. robot kenny is a professor of international relations and diplomacy at busan national university he doesn't believe this is a new or anomaly move by pyongyang. the north koreans have done provocations against south korea for decades literally right so in that sense i mean i don't think people should get carried away nobody should worry about sort of conflict or war or anything like that the north koreans are going to do anything really serious they know they would lose any kind of a serious conflict so they wouldn't risk that right this is another way for north korea to signal to us to the americans in the south koreans right that that we should come back to the bargaining table and offer something really substantial they really want is sanctions relief in exchange for something presumably a in the nuclear missile program and that's the sort of deal that everybody sort of

dancing around right and i think this is the north koreans way of sort of pushing the south koreans and the americans to come back but again i think you know trump is trying just doesn't it's just not that interested anymore and moon is very constrained by sanctions i mean that's why this thing is sort of been frozen for you and i have to sort of un level sanctions and there are also sanctions by south korea itself by the united states by japan the countries around north korea this president when jane really wants to engage north korea but he's been very very constrained in what he can do because the the letter of the law prevents a lot of south korean engagement and my sense is that he'll go out and give a speech and ask the north koreans to come back to negotiating table he's already done that the south koreans want to get any kind of provocative action but the facility that was destroyed was inside north korea and there's some other stuff inside north korea too that the south koreans have built in the north koreans choose to demo to demolish that or to occupied or repurpose in some way there's really nothing the north koreans can do about it. then the an army says 20 of its soldiers were killed in fighting with chinese troops along that disputed border late on monday night it happened in the gulf valley region it's the 1st time deaths

have been reported during a standoff between the 2 countries in decades ballasts reports in the remote twistin himalayas there is little evidence of what lead to indian and chinese so jews in gauging in a deadly brule at the border on monday india's army said there were casualties on both sides but not a shot was fired these are indian military reinforcements distant from the border shortly after. india and china share the wounds longest unmarked border in recent months both sides have ups the military presence tensions increasing over who are in what now and the border has been disputed since india and china went to war in 1962 the line in yellow is the so-called line of actual control but there are several disputed areas only the site one of the main ones is a chain which is claimed by india but administered by china india has appeared

confident in a diplomatic resolution just on saturday india's army chief see this. situation. with china is under control yet having a series of talks the chinese also thought dialogue was working but blame india for the deadly breakdown. on june 6th forces of the 2 countries had commander level talks and reached a consensus on easing the situation in the border area however it was shocking that the indian forces violated the consensus crossing the border twice to carry out a legal activities and provoking attacks on chinese soldiers. indian officials have refuted that i cool cease collation this very modest more aggressive posture. which looks like a deliberate policy to create a vision between or rather the relationship between india and china at the highest level. lay is

a quiet town on the indian side of the border outside of military helicopters resilience have few clues behind the tension only do steep if the joint bottom it will face off what officials are releasing a statement regarding the standoff that is going on at the border so rima spread which is created fear among the people people living near the border most get the cellular network in the area has also been cut off and no information is coming through yet the deadly skirmishes raising the stakes for beijing in new delhi of the weird the vast frontiers begin and end shannon vaness 0. per annum joins us live now from new delhi lizza both sides blaming each other for the skirmish but also trespassing on each other's territory. hi daryn's of the last event from the indian army said that the situation now in the gallery on the valley area that both sides have disengaged from the clashes on

monday night and they say that the 20 soldiers who died there were critically injured in subzero temperatures and high altitude terrain and that they succumbed to the injuries and in media is also reporting that the number of chinese soldiers who died or injured 43 though we've had no confirmation on that from the chinese government itself we also heard from india's ministry of external if it is released a statement very late on tuesday night saying that the violence was a result of china uni laterally trying to change the status quo on the border wall deescalation that's been going on in the east and the doc region well as i said that statement was released very late on tuesday more than 10 hours off of the reports off the debts and alice off the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson accused indian troops of in the guinea trying to cross the border twice carrying out provocative acts against chinese soldiers and saying that that's what led to

the violence so we have both sides accusing each other of trespassing on each other's territory and pausing the violence while the indian army is saying that they have now disengaged and both the united nations and the u.s. is saying that they're monitoring the situation very closely and that is because again this is the 1st these are the 1st deaths on the border in 45 years as you say it's the 1st time in 4 decades that indian soldiers have been killed in this disputed border high up in the himalayas so what's been the broader reaction in india to all of this. but there are a lot of questions because these deaths happened as the indian government in fact both sides have been saying for the past 10 days that they have been holding talks that they. the talks were on deescalation and that was in fact happening but we know that there has been a military and crease and both sides increasing their military presence in the

region and defense analysts in india have been accusing china of encroaching on indian territory for over a month now and they have been pushing that to the government and asking the government what they doing about it the government wasn't speaking about that ashwell again only saying the last 10 days that india and china have a very good relationship and that's why they had been no violence and so many decades vaal clashes the common because they share such a long disputed border but they had been no violence while these deaths have occurred despite those assurances and now there are a lot of questions about what's really happening on the border and whether the indian government has that situation under control or tell is appear on the line for us in new delhi thank you for now turkey has launched another military offensive against the kurdish group the p.k. k. in northern iraq troops were deployed to the hospital in region near the turkish border and jets targeted p.t.k. positions as the 2nd offensive against the p.k.

this week turkey considers that a terrorist group. it's time for a short break here not just iraq when we come back government is criticized for not implementing a strict lockdown on. according to reinforcements police sent enough to 4 nights of gun violence unsolved stay with us. hello there it is of course very hard to cross much of the middle east the arabian peninsula it's also been very windy of the last few days and that is set to continue meanwhile to the all the cross into turkey there's been a little bit of cat that does mean maybe just one or 2 showers nothing particularly heavy and it's a warm day wednesday and through the high of 28 despite the chance of the shot as you can see by these big green arrows the winds are very strong of course that coming through this hawse interior and typically this time of year june sun across

into council is actually the windiest month of the end sunny it has been that way so far 46 in doha on wednesday and then by thursday time it is a little bit low but the winds are strong so not really feeling any better you can see there more widespread showers across much of turkey elsewhere temperatures in the mid to high forty's 46 and 43 in riyadh and down in southern africa touches a lot further to the south of course we see want to showers across south africa they will continue on wednesday and in fact fairly heavy at times the taken early into the southern areas of mozambique in the can be fairly widespread particularly long these coastal areas in fact really all the way along into the coast of tanzania even up towards kenya the heaviest rains continuing around the gulf of guinea and then by thursday no real change elsewhere but certainly cool for the next few days in johannesburg 13 on thursday.

a city has become a major issue the demand is going straight up and the supply is going straight down 10. in essential natural resources into a commodity traded for profit just because it's lawyer doesn't mean it cannot be priced what about the guy that can afford it in that case tell me it's water in a new 2 part series al-jazeera examines the social financial and environmental impact of water privatizing loads of food on al-jazeera. welcome back a quick amount of the top stories here this hour north korea's military says it will redeploy troops near the demilitarized zone and resume regular exercises along

frontline areas comes a day after pyongyang destroyed in the ns an office used to communicate with south korea. indian and chinese officials are blaming each other for a deadly border brawl in a disputed region in the himalayas 20 indian soldiers were killed. and turkey's launched another military offensive against the kurdish group the p.k. k. in northern iraq troops were deployed to a region near the turkish border and jetstar the p.k. k. positions a 2nd offensive against the group this week. the trump administration is suing former national security adviser john bolton in an attempt to stop him publishing a book about his time working at the white house the government says the book contains classified information and must be edited before it's released the book is said to accuse trump of committing several impeachable offenses bolton was fired last year of the 17 months in the job. somebody said he wanted to write a book and he wrote a book i can't imagine that he can because that's highly classified information

even conversations with me and they're highly classified i told that to the attorney general before i would consider every conversation with me as president highly classified so that would mean that if he wrote a book and if if the book is out he's broken the law i mean all the u.s. president has signed an executive order to reform policing following the death of george floyd in custody it aims to stop bad officers being able to move jobs and to restrict the use of nicole's but the president rejected calls to defund the police and fisher has moved in the white house. after 2 weeks of being accused of not doing enough on the protests sweeping the country president donald trump gave his blueprint for the way ahead peace and dignity and equality for all americans in the rose garden of the white house with senior law enforcement figures looking on he signed an executive order which falls far short of the changes demanded by protesters the president wants to ban chokeholds unless the life of an officer is

a threat set up a national database to stop but officers both say your own police departments provide funding for better training including deescalation and provide social work support in certain police cases but he rejected the idea of defunding police departments which many are calling for i strongly oppose the radical and dangerous efforts to defend dismantle and dissolve our police departments. especially now when we've achieved the lowest recorded crime rates in recent history. americans know the truth without police there is chaos without law there is an arche and without safety there is catastrophe. protests erupted across america after the killing of george floyd a police officer knelt on his neck for it minutes and 46 seconds the officers were also on the scene but did nothing to help all no police murder charges but the

president insists good course but cops gone were tiny it's a very small percentage what we are seeing here is basically tiny steps by president donald trump to address the issue but what we're seeing from the president also is the president is waiting for and looking to congress that is now working on legislation both in the house and the senate to address wholesale systemic changes what was missing from the executive order was any suggestion of sweeping police reform there was no notion that racism may be a systemic problem or that black people receive different treatment from the police new legislation is country be considered by congress campaigners will be hoping that it goes much farther than the president's executive order alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house now a cheap and widely available steroids can dramatically cut the death rate from covert 19 new drug trial in the u.k. has shown dexamethasone reduced deaths by around

a 3rd among those with the most acute cases of infection the world health organization is describing the results of a clinical trial as a lifesaving scientific breakthrough the virus has killed more than 440000 people worldwide well martin landry is one of those leading the trial he says one of the best advantages is that the drug isn't a strain on health budgets. well it certainly made a step forwards all year we've been looking for a treatment that would reduce the chances of patients with code from dying and we found what other new found one but it was right under our noses it was a 3 judge covered in every pharmacy in every hospitals pretty much in every country and it's called dexamethasone this logo steroids dampens insulation. that might otherwise be attacking the lungs and it prevents people from dying those particular people are already on ventilators we've still got a problem this is reducing the risk of dying for their sake that it lost their

places by a 3rd that means that they're still quite large numbers of people dying which is a significant 1st step if i think about what we do in other areas of medicine we very often use 23 or 4 drugs in combination it's time to lower the risk a bit well that starts with the 1st drug that lowers risk this is the 1st trick that lowers risk it's really cheap it's really widely available that's a great start if you walk into a ward patients on ventilators and you gave them all dexamethasone one of those patients who would otherwise have died walk out of their lie that having to just spend $1.00 on each patient so it's a baby is a big impact on a major issue and they have typically important results because this is not some expensive new drug developed by a big pharmaceutical company this is a drug we already have this fantastic central a the coronavirus death toll has passed $3300.00 that's one of the higher death rates in the world one reason is that

a month long lockdown in the epicenter of the capital santiago hasn't worked some are saying the city needs to go into hibernation instead said newman has this report. these residents wave goodbye to yet another neighbor who's died 19 a scene that's being repeated and what medical experts call a catastrophic great so you don't. get it as 47 year old brother was infected while at work in a pharmacy 3 days after taking a cold 19 test he was rushed to hospital but he was sent back home the next day without a diagnosis. 2 days later he was back unable to breathe. he was worried that we could get infected and he sent us home the next day he was dead we buried him and it wasn't until the day after that that the results of his kovi test came back positive. it did in his family blame the government for gross incompetence they're angry that it refused to implement drastic measures early

enough to prevent widespread contagion. and government was reluctant to declare a full lockdown in the capital until a month ago by then contagion was totally out of control and even that has been ineffective government subsidies have been insufficient and too slow in arriving as for respecting the quarantine we crossed the whole city without being asked for our permits to circulate by soldiers or police where i'm going to be out of the community with the highest rate of contagion in the whole country and it's supposed to be under lockdown like the rest of the capital but as you can see there are people absolutely everywhere traffic as well and so now war were voices are demanding that some cat will be put under hibernation which is really just a euphemism for a quarantine that actually works. we spoke to the think tank that came up with the term. at the beginning we had

a 40 percent reduction in public mobility this is way too little we need at least 70 percent for a lockdown to be effective and now many people are ignoring it altogether. so we need to rethink the strategy. that means enforcing the quarantine energetically allowing only essential businesses to keep working and implementing a robust social aid program to allow the unemployed to stay home something the president has finally agreed to do many accuse the government of refusing to listen to warnings from mare's and the scientific community i think that is their they made. or the problem julie that you have a government 'd that was not able to hear on time west not. wanted to make their rights choices on time and now we are suffering the consequences. as of this week there's a new health minister who's more open to advice in criticism but promises of

remedies in past mistakes is small consolation for thousands of families who are burying their dead you see in human al-jazeera santiago. the world trade organization has ruled that saudi arabia broke international law over sports piracy operation and 18 month investigation found the saudi government actively supported the illegal activities of a network that's been rebroadcasting content from a qatari satellite channel without permission tomato salad explains. it's been described as the biggest and most outrageous piracy operation in history which has been allowed to continue for the past 3 years but that might all change now after the wall trade organization one of the most important international bodies of jurisdiction issued its findings into the case of saudi arabia on the 5th of t.v. broadcasting rights in 2017 shortly after the kingdom and 3 of its allies imposed a land air and sea blockade on qatar a new television network was unveiled named b.

out q the new channel was nothing more than a piracy operation that stole the signal and output from b. in sports the qatari own subscription base sports and entertainment network and rebroadcast it around the world the largest global sporting events including the 2018 feet for wild cup the english premier league tennis grand slams and formula one were all illegally broadcast by b. outs q in a flagrant breach of intellectual property rights and several other international treaties. according to the world trade organizations independent investigation b l g q was and is supported by the saudi government the reports name sounded funny the so-called right hand man of the kingdom's effective ruler crown prince mohammed bin said a man is being behind to be out q the w t o also confirms that through government owned entities such as arab sites be out q

was able to operate and transmit it signal and that saudi arabia ignored numerous requests from the u.s. and british governments and sporting bodies such as the premier league and fifa to put an end to the piracy the phantom has reached a specific conclusion that the kingdom of saudi arabia is in breach of the w t o obligation for refusing to take any actions against the part of the arctic you not only that but also actively promoting these basic broadcast of that pirates be out to queue. the findings by the w t o do not come with any mechanism that will force saudi arabia to cease its piracy but there is another ongoing legal case that might where is the world trade organizations investigation was instigated by request from qatar his government the b.n. network has filed a separate $1000000000.00 lawsuit be in a sport as an uppity company is pursuing its own illegal actions against the kingdom of saudi arabia in the form of an international arbitration and to the

extent of my knowledge this arbitration is in its procedures and this is will be the platform for the. be in a sport to seek the compensation for the heart of that happen to that company this case is important globally because aside from the 5th of some of the most sought after broadcasting television rights saudi arabia is also trying to buy one of the largest and oldest football clubs in england newcastle united that takeover is now hanging in the balance was the world trade organization may not have the power to force saudi arabia to shut down its piracy operation its ruling is a very clear indictment of the kingdom is behind one of the vienna largest theft of intellectual property rights in history many will view this is yet another failure of saudi arabia's policies on the back to rule of crown prince mohammed bin son man
