al-jazeera. entry. china and india agree to disengage their troops the dispute due to border area months after the deadly confrontations. santamaria here in doha this is the world news from al-jazeera coming up we will hear from one person who's lost everything including the roof over their head in the flooding in sudan. also violent protests in colombia's capital follows the death of a man repeatedly tasered by police 10 people killed in those protests and the destruction of an aboriginal heritage site in australia forces the resignation of

the head of one of the world's biggest mining companies. so india and china have agreed to deescalate tensions along the disputed border nearly 3 months after the biggest military confrontation in the last 45 years their foreign ministers have been holding talks in moscow this was after 20 indian soldiers were killed in hand to hand combat with chinese troops back in june in the border area of the northern love that region china did admit it suffered casualties but never gave any details it's a 5 point plan centered on existing border agreements new delhi and beijing of agreed to quickly disengage the use of firearms along that border is already banned but they've committed to continue talking through diplomatic and military channels . but to speed up the so-called trust building measure it's more now from elizabeth

one of. there's been no official reaction from the indian government to this agreement yet but we know that the defense minister is holding a meeting with the national security advisor with the chief of defense stuff and with the chiefs of the on the the navy and the air force to discuss the situation on the border and the main time this agreement to deescalate has been met with a lot of skepticism and dhea by independent experts who say that the agreement is lacking any operational details on how the military's agong to disengage exactly and the skepticism is because although the foreign ministers meeting was the highest face to face highest level face to face meeting between the 2 sides since the current standoff began in may they have been many rounds of talks on many levels always ending with the agreement to deescalate and yet despite the tools taking place we saw the worst tensions between the 2 countries in june when 20

indian soldiers were killed those were the 1st deaths and 50 years and despite both countries defense ministers meeting on friday and agreeing to deescalate we had both sides just a few days they said earlier on this week accusing each other of firing warning shots in the air for the 1st time in 45 guineas and so everyone here is very much waiting to see what if anything comes out of the defense ministry meeting that's taking place and now the view from beijing with katrina a year. china's foreign ministry released a statement reiterating some of the comments from one the the foreign minister and these were very positive overall he said that china and india should stop viewing huge other's competitors and work more closely as partners they should stop this atmosphere of confrontation and really start to cooperate and also build mutual trust rather than suspicion he also said that china india and relations were right across words and there was no obstacle that either side couldn't overcome and

working more closely together when it comes to chinese state media the meeting was also very much lauded it had a picture in the front of the global times chinese state media newspaper of the chinese indian foreign minister along with the russian foreign minister but in terms of chinese state media that's where the friendly tone in this paper at least stopped there was much skepticism instead expressed with the global times editors saying that the implementation of this 5 point consensus really depended on india being able to keep up its side of the bargain and otherwise unless india followed through this would be little more than what he called paper talk now this wind of this torrent at least really is in line with what we've heard from beijing's foreign ministry of the past few weeks and chinese state media being quite aggressive saying that china would not hesitate to defend its sovereignty and also that india should be careful because essentially india's military is norm that for china but one interesting we did say in a statement also that there was

a sense of urgency in terms of both sides having to create actions in order to prevent any further skirmishes including what he said was disengaging contact at the border and pulling back any crosswind personnel but at the same time we've seen some mismatch mixed messaging also from chinese state media with with reports of chinese troops really building up their presence on the border drones being flown in a special operations troops being parachuted in as well so we'll really have to watch closely to see whether china removes or at least pulls back some of those troops as a result of this 5 point plan being announced. on to other news and after a coronavirus delay in iran polls of open for the 2nd round of parliamentary elections voters in 10 constituencies are taking part in the 1st round was back in february it had the lowest voter turnout in the history of the islamic republic and that resulted in the most conservative parliament in its 40 year history following developments for us from tech from. the recent where having the 2nd round of

parliamentary elections now is because they were postponed they were delayed in april because of the chroma virus the 2nd round takes place when the 1st round that 20 percent threshold isn't reached by the candidates but when the 2nd round happens it's just a matter of who gets the most votes is elected now it won't doesn't look like the political dynamic in the much is the parliament is going to change 2 thirds of those seats still belong to the conservatives in terms of voter turnout in the parliamentary elections it was 42 percent nationwide that's the lowest the country has seen since the establishment of the republican hair into her own it was around 26 percent and that low turnout resulted again. benefits the conservatives the hardliners now that dynamic isn't going to change we understand that polls will close around 6 o'clock local time in the evening we should have results by tomorrow the day after but what's interesting about these elections is

near the border between india and china herders say the indian army stopped them from grazing their goat tom pastures near the border this summer maybe door. most of the land for bashing in the winter is near the border so if in the coming winter. from going there we will incur a lot of loss. in some settings that thousands of gods could die this one to which would be a disaster for the more than $1000.00 families in that that push depend on them for their livelihood and also for me mean and destry and if it happened then they are not able to get. the only sources like that it would mean depriving a section of women who are vulnerable who dig through this economic to deal with they're not able to earn from any of the big duties. of both india and china have been reinforcing their military strength of the mountains and accuse each other of

the australasian center for corporate responsibility and says these resignations are a good 1st step but there still needs to be further accountability. it's not a question of punishments it's a question of finding people to fix so the responsibilities that they hold i think we've seen actually 2 disasters here one is the destruction of duke and. i have this year and then the 2nd disaster is one of reacting to senior management or as they go through a parliamentary inquiry their own inquiry which is based found by parliamentary committee chairs of a misleading it's an extraordinary tale there's a lot of background here but you know the only reason why mining companies are in a position where they're choosing whether or not to blow up in valuable cultural heritage is that and i satisfy all of the regulatory environment now you know the

cultural heritage act of western australia it was passed in 1972 at a time when average people didn't even have any recognised rights to land in this country so. you know we've really been operating in a. permissive regulatory environment here and that's been up to the companies have will they do reacting to it like the edge pay got its mind right to mind in the pilbara in the 1960 again before average and they let any recognized rights at all but in that the right to vote in a strata in those days. and so it's only in the last 10 years that there's been an attempt to like some of the great myths that provide some compensation to aboriginal people of their land but you know a lot of people they didn't spend it i'd appreciate is that a lot of this country's wealth and prosperity is up to the ongoing destruction of the land of the aboriginal people of the pilbara region. 10 e.u.
