chinese military drills like this one have become more common both sides have increased their military presence in recent months with tension rising over who owns what land. the border has been disputed since india and china went to war in $1062.00 the line in yellow is the so-called line of actual control but there are several disputed areas on either side one of the main was is excite sheen it's claimed by india that administered by china. china says their shared interests are stronger than their conflicts but it also has a warning which we once again ask india to act on our consensus and strictly disciplined us troops not to cross the lawn to provide and not to take unilateral action that may complicate the situation. prime minister narendra modi says india wants peace but is ready to defend itself. i want to assure the nation that the 2nd feis our soldiers have made will not stories waste for us the integrity of

india and our sovereignty is the most important thing and nobody can stop us from protecting them nobody should have an illusion old doubts and this message. for the families it's a time of mourning this father says he can't believe his son a colonel is dead now don't you feel under deep shock after hearing about my son's misfortune i never expected this he would usually work in difficult places. but that indian officials have rejected accusations they calls this escalation furious protesters say china must be punished while the debate over the border isn't new the circumstances have now changed this time or this is a more aggressive posture for the. region looks like a deliberate policy to create a group in between india or rather if you know there's

a relationship between india and china at the highest level a political divide has turned violent now raising the stakes for beijing a new delhi over where there are vast frontier begins and ends. with a young. and elizabeth are on houses update from new delhi. both foreign ministries have released statements saying that they're going to deescalate the situation on the border as soon as possible that follows a phone conversation between the foreign ministers but what's really interesting is that they continue to blame each other for what happened for the violence in the strongest possible terms both sides maintaining that it was the other that trespassed on their territory started the violence and also that it was the other that broke the june 6th agreement to deescalate here and the of the government is under pressure to both explain how 20 soldiers were killed along the border for the 1st time in 45 years and also to take action against what happened because the past

10 days the government had been assuring people that any border disputes could be solved through dialogue and wall many defense experts who accuse in china of encroaching on and the u.s. territory the government said that the situation was under control now we are seeing those protests will be a small and many cities around and deal with the burning of chinese flags but we've also got reports of residents welfare associations asking people to throw out their chinese products and we've seen videos of people doing so as well as that we also have a hyphen nationalist media and who are blaming china for what happened and they've also joined the chorus here of indian government what it's going to do to retaliate to respond to the deaths of the 20 soldiers and katrina you has more from the chinese capital beijing. china says it's in close communication with india via

both diplomatic and military channels foreign ministry spokesperson jolly gen spoke to the media today on wednesday and said that both sides were intent on resolving this dispute through peaceful dialogue and that china did not want to see any further clashes at the same time jolly gen laid the blame for the deadly brawl on monday so we at the feet of india according to beijing the truce lives actually reached a consensus on the border dispute on june 6th but indian troops violated this consensus and he said they provoked and attacked chinese personnel he also went on to urge the indian military to discipline its troops he went on to say further that the location where this altercation took place the golden valley he said that this was and has always been chinese territory something that's heavily disputed by india and he said that clearly it was clear about who was on the right in the wrong side of this clash that resulted in the deaths of those soldiers on monday now

according to indian media there were chinese casualties as well but the chinese government is yet to release any numbers and there is some speculation that they may never release these numbers a state media here are saying that this is in fact a sign of goodwill from beijing an example of beijing wanting to pursue peace with india and not wanting to spark any confrontational sentiment that may lead to all out conflict. in the korean peninsula now were a war of words as further escalating tension north korea is warning it will redeploy troops near the border and resume military exercises it it's all says it will no longer tolerate an unreasonable behavior rob and private parts and on the south korean side of the border. making its message clear and unequivocal the destruction of the joint liaison office has been widely broadcast by north korean state run media accompanied by warnings that it will increase its military presence

along the border separating the 2 koreas. guard posts that had been removed to deescalate tensions will now be restored while military exercises on the northern side of the border will be resumed bringing this unusually strong response from the south. such moves thought to the efforts and achievements made by the 2 koreas to maintain peace and the north will surely pay if these measures are put into action the north has blamed the south for allowing defectors to release propaganda balloons into its territory but north korean leader kim jong un is also frustrated at his failure to get more concessions in summits with the south korean president moon j.n. and with u.s. president donald trump the north seeming to conclude the current path of diplomacy has run its course trump just doesn't is not that interested anymore money is very

constrained by sanctions i mean that's why this thing is sort of been frozen for you and i have i'm just not sure that much can change in the next 6 months or 8 months a jew on the southern side of the border relatives of people abducted during the korean war hold a simple ceremony. many events are being staged with the coming 70th anniversary of the start of the conflict lisa was a baby when his father was abducted to the north. for him and others still living with the war's consequences this latest attempt at reconciliation has achieved little condone when kim jong un wouldn't recognize this issue even uses and the sussed korean order ministration couldn't put the issue on the table during the summit in any case this section of the border is where rail and road links were meant to be connected if the current initiative had been a success it was planned that jew would become one of the main crossing points between north and south in what would be a new era of peaceful coexistence on the peninsula they are hopes that for the time

lodging officer and these are the top stories right now china and india are trying to calm tensions after a deadly clash over a border dispute both sides say no shots were fired by 20 indian soldiers were killed in a mass brawl iron bars and wooden clubs were used as weapons. or korea has warned it will redeploy troops near the border and resume military exercises along frontline areas blames the south for bad behavior and justify blowing up an enter korean liaison office on tuesday. a high level delegation from turkey has made a surprise trip to libya to meet the internationally recognized government in tripoli ankara as the administration's main backer and its fight against for what they call. list all soldiers have been killed in an attack and northern afghanistan

it took place in an army post and on province another 5 soldiers have been held hostage the taliban who claimed responsibility for the attack says the death toll is higher. turkey has launched another military offensive against armed kurdish separatist and northern iraq and pro deployed troops to the hotton region near the border to fight the p.k. k. warplanes have also targeted the cripps positions around $3000.00 fighters are believed to be and northern iraq turkey the u.s. and the e.u. all list the p k k as a terrorist group simcoe solo has more from istanbul. today's operation is different compared to the one that happened 2 days ago because this time ground forces are also in place and they have been accompanied by the turkish air forces for pimpin to point operations targeting the bases ammunition depots sent $36.00 points of the out those could sound workers' party what makes this operations

a special is turkey is aiming to cut the logistic loops of the p.k. k. from iraq to syria because for turkey p k k and the syrian kurdish fighters group y p g r r organically it's hard to each other and there is an ammunition and weapons transfer between 2 sides from from the wipe e.g. to iraq and one day those weapons can be turned against turkey and that's why turkey is trying to eliminate the p.k. fighters they have bases and as i said that the logistic routes. between is syria and iraq this is the idea of the operation and. these operations have been recently conducted have been in touch have been conducted in cooperation with the turkish intelligence agency before turkish intelligence agency didn't have any authority for course wardrop rationed but in the last couple of years with the presidential system they are authorized to cooperate with the military and they have been

providing ifield intelligence and turkish drones have been active in the area and when you speak to the military experts they say the success of the ration is based on the drones armed and on armed aerial vehicles in the area providing information every day and not of alton as in baghdad just as the lack of reaction from authorities is being interpreted by sound is welcoming the operation. well we still don't have an official statement neither from the iraqi government here in baghdad nor from kurdish authorities in iraqi kurdistan we in fact called the spokesperson of the joint operations command here in baghdad which is the entity that is supposed to govern all military activity in iraq and he quote said he had no information unquote at the moment about the incident and of course all of this is made more difficult because the areas where these operations are taking place are under the control of the semi autonomous kurdish government and what is interesting

that we haven't heard anything come out for but neither the k d p which is the kurdish democratic party which coincidentally has the ministry of foreign affairs currently inside the iraqi government nor from the p u k and the way some people interpreted this is that in fact the kurdish authorities have welcomed these operations because in fact they don't really want the presence of p.k. k. fighters on their ground either what is particularly interesting in this case of this appears to be not just a turkish operation there appears to be also some iranian involvement and we have spoken to a kurdish general who is in charge of the border areas with turkey and iran and he said that actually iran has participated in these operations through artillery strikes and that these artillery strikes are still ongoing and the areas that appear to be targeted are either belonging to the p.k. k. or to some iranian opposition groups. the u.s.

has imposed sanctions on syrian president bashar al assad and 39 others including his wife under new legislation known as the cesar act the measure went into effect on wednesday with the aim of increasing the economic isolation of assad's government by restricting its ability to trade and get money from abroad the sanctions will target his supporters with the threat of arrest and travel bans so that includes politicians military personnel or anyone and business or banking as well as the oil and gas industry a new law also affects those seeking to do business with syria's government including has a lot in lebanon iran russia some gulf states and allies in eastern europe. and nearly a decade of violence has left syria with the collapsing economy the sanctions are expected to be rail president bashar al assad's postwar recovery plans to reports from beirut and a warning viewers may find some images disturbing they're known as caesar's photographs named after a military defector who documented torture and killings in syrian government jails

his testimonies to the u.s. congress was part of a campaign to hold the regime responsible for what has been described as more crimes it led to the passing and now the implementation of a bill in the u.s. the so-called caesar act in 80 countries in the world there's a company. that's providing. quite national support. military support. for states. these sanctions go further than existing ones are aimed at preventing international engagement with bashar assad's government partnering or fighting on its side will also be punishable the syrian government calls the legislation economic terrorism but proponents of the law point to exemptions that minimize any impact on civilians . the federal government is allowed to buy medicine they want but they don't want

to spend. 40 here and they want to fund their war machine they want to pump the militia human rights groups have accused the syrian government of using aid to fund its atrocities benefit those loyal to it and punish opponents by confiscating their properties plans to move to a post-war phase in syria will now be difficult. it's. this one. it's already faced with a collapsing economy and currency there is unprecedented poverty some say a 3rd hasn't been this vulnerable at any time during the 9 year war. it kind of shuts the door fully closed in terms of there being any light at the end of the tunnel for the syrian regime so i think politically and diplomatically that will

have an impact but it adds to the already terrible effects of the syrian economic crisis assad has faced pressure in the past but has never agreed to making political concessions he since the clear victory in the war in syria and while he may have won militarily winning the peace may prove harder the new legislation means the fight for damascus as the seat of assad's power and legitimacy has still to be fought santa. fe built and in addition court has issued a guilty verdict against 7 west papuan human rights activists charged with treason will serve up to 11 months in jail other group known as they planned 7 staged demonstrations calling for independence and fair treatment and 2019 men rights watch says the indonesian government has a history of discriminating against dark skinned indigenous. the chinese capital beijing has raised its alert level after a new corona virus outbreak hundreds of flights have been canceled schools and

and elsewhere around the country have largely focused on individual officers and holding them accountable for their actions but critics say racism is a systemic problem and more systemic changes are needed former police officer dennis kenney believes the issue isn't to unions but rather a militarized approach to policing we've gone back to the effort militarized police easily evaluated tactical solutions and so forth and all of those have the effect of kind of driving a wedge between communities and elise. and i think that we need to go back and think well sophocles again about why we will use not just how we police in california the state's largest police unions have published their own reform agenda ignaz the need for action it calls for lessening the use of force and increasing accountability to root out racist police officers but that will require communities
