. high in the himalayas trouble has been brewing for weeks these satellite images show indian and chinese troops gathering in the disputed border region now for the 1st time in decades india says 3 soldiers were killed in hand to hand combat beijing says it was defending its territorial integrity and. shock on june 15th indian troops seriously violated the bilateral consensus and crossed the border line twice in gauging in illegal activities and provoking and attacking chinese personnel resulting in serious physical confrontation between border forces on the 2 sides. this yellow line marks the boundary between the superpowers nor has the line of actual control it is not a hard for china and india have never agreed on where their border should lie. in 2017 the 2 sides confronted each other for $73.00 days after indian troops blocked

construction of a ruled by china flareups or vexed chinese and indian leaders for years with a lasting solution seemingly out of reach this latest escalation suggests a rocky road ahead for the 2 nuclear armed nations. earlier we spoke to prophet $78.00 the editor of force magazine which focuses on indian military matters we asked him if he expected a deescalation but neither side wants an war because of that what will happen is the next step i see. they could become more harder to position. where it would be a really good religion or give a bit of an easier for you to give. them good girl knowing fully well that you have the group. the biggest fears to create to. do good things going

will be a bit difficult to argue with. so be underscored really hard to go for the limitation that i know i'll be a good army or a very good military. i expect to be something to be a hard. expert guard there would be also much more would have other ways all. fear can union has warned north korea against what it calls further provocative and damaging steps after pyongyang blew up an office that was set up to improve relations with south korea the joint liaison office was situated in the town of k. song just north of the border so as threatened to retaliate if and continues its aggression. a dramatic display of. and more evidence that relations between north and south korea are exploding before our eyes . only 2 years ago this building in the town of chi some just north of the border was open to great fanfare.

it was meant to foster better relations between the 2 nations who were still technically at war. but on tuesday north korean state television confirmed the building had been destroyed. a move that forced seoul to call an emergency national security council meeting. should use along with kessel we sternly warned that we will respond strongly if north korea continues to take measures to aggravate the situation. tension has been building for weeks as activists in the south ignored pleas from seoul and continued to add drop and t.p.o. nyang propaganda over the border into the north it was last week p.r. nyang announced it was severing all communication links with south korea. at the

weekend kim yong jong the increasingly powerful sister of north korea's leader kim jong un warns that the liaison office would soon be destroyed. neighbors russia and china are clearly concerned because. north and south korea are the same people as a close neighbor china has always hoped that the korean peninsula would maintain peace and stability with you wondering cerulean and she some are wondering whether this is a crisis manufactured by north korea to distract attention from stalled nuclear talks between kim jong un and us president trump whatever the rationale north korea has yet again captured the world's a. tention. let's catch up on some other headlines from around the world now beijing authorities have ordered schools closed and are urging people not to leave

the city following a new corona virus outbreak health officials have reported dozens of new cases in recent days after nearly 2 months with no new infections the outbreak has been linked to a wholesale food market in the capital researchers in the u.k. say they have identified the 1st drug proven to significantly reduce the risk of death in patients with severe cases of coban 19 in a major study the low cost steroids dexamethasone was found to cut deaths by a 3rd and patients on ventilators and a 5th in patients receiving oxygen. police have fired tear gas at a demonstration of health workers in paris the clashes broke out on the sidelines of largely peaceful protests in the capital demonstrators are demanding more investment in france's public health system after years of cost cuts as the country's health care system struggles amid the cup in $1000.00 pound. malta has opened an investigation into alleged links between

a former police chief and people implicated in the murder of prominent journalist stephanie cutter one of the 3 years ago the police chief resigned in january amid accusations that he had bungled the probe into the journalists murder. us president donald trump says he's going to cut the number of american troops in germany by nearly 10000 from current levels of about 35000 he said he was taking the step because berlin had failed to meet its defense spending commitments president trumps move as shaken nato and especially germany the foreign minister says he has received no detailed information about the troop withdrawal. for 70 years tens of thousands of american troops have been stationed in germany for europe their presence at bases like spangdahlem a guarantor of peace for the u.s. an expression of its military might. on monday donald trump confirmed he would be withdrawing almost $10000.00 of them blaming bear lens there we have to meet its 2

percent need to defense spending commitments but he wrongly said it was indebted to the military alliance so germany is delinquent they've been delinquent for years and they owe nato billions of dollars and they have to pay it so we're protecting germany and delinquent that doesn't make sense like the u.s. military presence in germany was a reginald a bulwark against the soviet threat during the cold war and continues to be a deterrent against potential russian aggression trump decision threatens to further strain the relationship between the 2 allies. germany since its serenity since 1900 is a very strong partner and we would like to be handled all saw even and that with the united states this is not the way you treat your close partners. u.s. presidents have long called for germany to increase defense spending but some suspect the latest decision is

a reaction to german chancellor merkel refusal to attend the g. 7 summit that was to be hosted by the u.s. president later this month. seems to see. not everybody else has systemic rival. for the. personality. this is also part of our solution is policy so it's less about the individuals or the. individuals do matter. what the american interest seems to be which not clear if trump will be able to push through the withdrawal which faces stiff opposition in congress even members of his own party opposed the plan. nato correspondent teri schultz is following the story for us from brussels terry good evening to you the u.s.

ambassador to nato kay bailey hutchinson i said that the plans for this withdrawal aren't yet set in stone what does that mean that this is really not a done deal yet. nobody seems to know for sure and of course everybody except probably russian president vladimir putin is hoping that this can be a reversible decision because until president trump made these remarks yesterday it didn't seem clear that he had really made up his mind he's been advised against it by all of his military advisors in the u.s. allies have been advising against this move germany of course has expressed its unhappiness with this so whether or not president trump is able to actually make concrete plans to pull the troops out where they would go where the equipment would go remains to be seen and certainly nato is hoping that it is not a done deal but even kay bailey hutchison didn't seem to be sure she said that she didn't have any details on a timeline on how and when this might happen well that decision wouldn't just

affect germany and u.s. troops in the country are really part of the alliances broader strategy tell us more about that. that's right i mean 10000 troops aren't going to make a difference overall when when you've got 30 countries in nato you can certainly make up the troops it's more the image the image of having u.s. troops well integrated well trained well equipped to u.s. troops right in the in the heart of europe that is a deterrent factor and it's also that the decision was handled in this way without consultation with nato secretary general stoltenberg without consultation with germany that's as damaging as pulling out 10000 troops to be sure and i think that that's one of the things that nato is concerned about that this was not handled in a cohesive matter this is a manner this is not handled in a way that you would treat your friends and that of course is as damaging to the alliance says as any small removeable of troops but the other point sumi is really that the u.s. uses germany as a staging ground as

a training ground has one of its best equipped hospitals in the world in germany so it's really not clear to anybody what the u.s. things that strategic interest would be in pulling these troops out of germany when president trump has been talking about redeploying some of those troops from germany east to poland and closer to russia what would that mean for nato as relationship with moscow. i'm not sure how how well developed those plans actually are because how would you rebuild all of these very longstanding structures that you have in germany and transfer all the capacities to poland and build it from the ground up where are you going to get the money to do that so it's unclear whether that's a really well formed plan he often says things to be provocative and poland tends to like to get the u.s. support it's already you know offered for trump so this would not be unprecedented that poland would be talking about taking in some of the u.s. capacity moving from other places but there is an agreement between nato and russia

called the nato russia founding at that promises that nato troops will not be permanently positioned that close to the russian border so this would just be another excuse moscow would have for causing tension with nato and i don't think anybody wants to see that so i'm not sure that that's a plan that would really go forward for all of the reasons that i just mentioned nato correspondent teri schultz for us good to talk to you germany has launched a new track and trace app to fight the spread of the corona virus that technology can send warnings to users if they've been in close contact with anyone confirmed to have it the government hopes that will help shorten infection chains but the app is voluntary and as you have been finding out not all germans trust it. this app is hope to become a game changer in germany's fight against karuna it took much longer to develop than expected for security reasons the government says. the covert uses

bluetooth to determine which other smartphones are in the vicinity and for how long if an app use it tests positive for the corona virus other users who were in longer contact with the person get a warning message all day time is anonymized and only stored locally on each individual smartphone minister bomb stressed that the app is no kewl. it despite that it is still important to observe the rules just keep a distance where say smarts and stick to the hygiene rules the key difference is that it can help warn contacts of an infected person much quicker than before and. so. there is no obligation to use the corona warning out yet the government hopes that many people will do so. to download the app is one small

step for every one of us but believe in fighting the pandemic and the uses can trust in the best data protection possible. for all and according to recent survey only 42 percent of people in germany intend to download the app. and it's just this whole coronavirus thing seems very strange to be in so i wouldn't be interested in the app for security reasons. and it's too much surveillance is going to solve it that's like instagram most maps had to use all my data anyway so it's the same thing. while the launch of germany's app marks a new approach to fighting covert 19 it appears far from offering an answer to the pandemic. our reporter joel dahl roy has been looking into this for us hi joe you've downloaded it what's your experience been so far oh so far it tells me my risk is no and which i knew anyway but i guess it's official now my user

experience so far was that it was quite hard to find the app because if you search for corona app in the app store you get lots of results and it's quite unclear which one is actually the official government one from germany some users can't find it at all even if they use the exact right words now it's also once you've downloaded you start to notice a few other small issues for example it requires bluetooth to be constantly turned on which i don't do because i'm worried about draining my battery and also it requires the use. to tell it when you get tested positive and then also it requires everyone who gets that notification to go and test themselves so this is element of human error that can come into it and as we know humans are the weakest link in any potential technology what people been saying about this app well generally people have been quite positive because the government did take those security concerns into account but we have had some some twitter users who say that they can't use it because it is geo block that means that you have to have your app store located in

germany is this twitter user pointed out unfortunately this is a surprise for experts and tourists who may be unwilling to change the settings on their phone or in some cases they may be able to we've also seen the usual outbreak of humor that comes with this kind of thing ralph hyman tweeted the corona app is like tinder backwards 1st you meet then the app makes a match and soon enough you feel lonely that sounds about right at this corner various tracing up in germany how does it compare to what we've seen in other countries well in other countries have actually been some major fail use for example in norway they have just withdrawn their app citing security concerns the public security office there issued a warning that the it was constantly tracing people using g.p.s. and it was collecting data for research purposes and not allowing users to opt out in australia one public health official has declared that there is also a failure because only 25 percent of the population are used to it and they have in fact recommended that cafes and restaurants go back to using paper and pen to take

down people's details in case they need to contact trades of course we've seen some successes for example singapore is often held up as the big success story but if you dig a bit deeper what you realize is that can't be easily replicated because singapore has relied only on it's out it's also relied on a massive testing program and also in the case of singapore it's a very sick privacy invasive system that may be unlawful in some other countries so there's a view that while these apps may make us feel a little bit safer they may be actually giving us a false sense of security and this may be more of a technological placebo than a real cure. is joel dollar a reporting for us thank you very much. to some us ports news now new york governor andrew cuomo has announced that the us open will be held and made at the coronavirus pandemic the u.s. tennis association intends to hold the tournament in august without fans being present that's despite top players having expressed their concerns about

brought the city to a near standstill then is gradually opening up to visitors again. but not everyone is looking forward to the return of the masses. this is an opportunity for a much needed change she has been advocating for a more sustainable form of tourism one that doesn't put the future of the city at risk the problem with venice is that it's in an extremely fragile delicate system and and you can't just do anything you like to venice it needs to be. treated carefully otherwise there won't be any venice left in the future and we need to be responsible about. the legacy of venice and think about what venice has given to us other people have a right to get that too she tells us venice has a unique way of life that is threatening to disappear jane the most

people that walk is because. of the events of the cd because. they're bored in the. same period of the festival of the scene. of the opening of. unity and i mean. we should do. more to organize it. in the 6 months. while many agree venice needs to change the way it handles its visitors the city's tourism counsellor wants to further assess the situation before applying any drastic measures. this is not the museum. you know some cap city in the ward i don't think so many many people speak about

the. there are 50 really almost 30000000. it's not so i want to count. how many people. every day and i know. for resident and activist jane just empty words right now that doesn't seem to be political will. i think the politicians are to focused on making money out of venice in the short time and by thinking in that way that kind of killing the goose that lays the golden egg with travel restrictions now being lifted all over europe the nations should not take too long to decide what kind of future they see for their city. let's get a recap of our top stories here india says 2 soldiers and a senior officer have been killed in
