coming straight from the heart. from birth to death star june 18th. this is. the 1st time. since the seventy's. chinese forces.
12:01 pm
residence. in britain. widely available drug. use saving the lives of people. straight. to the india and china appear to be. the deadliest border between the 2 neighbors in decades india troops were killed in fighting that took place along. border in the indian prime minister narendra modi has called
12:02 pm
for an all party meeting on friday to discuss the situation meanwhile china did not report any casualties but says it wants no further clashes. for weeks trouble has been brewing in one of the remotest border regions in the world these satellite images show indian and chinese troops gathering high in the himalayas now for the 1st time in decades india says 20 soldiers were killed the 2 sides fought with fists some rocks knew shots were fired among those left pereira the family of colonel son paul who was killed. but. we're sure since yesterday we have been in a deep shock only hearing about my son's misfortune. something we never expected this but it is not new for him to be working in such difficult difficult
12:03 pm
places. where. protesters gathered in the city of a major bad demanding revenge and calling for a boycott of chinese goods. and let's make india self-reliant and give china a fitting reply. beijing says it was defending its territorial integrity and shockingly. 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. their shell line marks the boundary between the superpowers and the winners the line of actual control it is not a hard front here since china and india have never agreed on we're it should lie in 2017 the 2 sides confronted each other for $73.00 days after indian cricket blocked
12:04 pm
chinese construction of a rude for years chinese and indian leaders have struggled to reach a lasting solution this latest escalation suggests a difficult path ahead for these 2 nuclear armed nations. joining me now from beijing is victor gao his chair professor university in draw and he was also interpreter for training leader of dung shopping and has a deep understanding of the communist party victor gao welcome the chinese foreign ministry has said angered forces caught provoked and attacked chinese personnel in the governor valley in love dark where this violent incident happened so this is all india's fault is it. well 1st of all it is very unfortunate for china and india to have this. confrontation along the very long very
12:05 pm
obvious border secondly the fact that. deaths occurred on both sides or was is extremely unfortunate and 3rd point is that fortunately no cons have been fired between the troops of the 2 countries and from the chinese perspective of top priority is to calm down and to deescalate and neither china nor india want to have a war between the 2 largest populations in the world a war would be detrimental to both countries and i think the top priority is to negotiate a peaceful settlement of the border conflict between the 2 countries but also on parky reduce talked about deaths on both sides china hasn't confirmed any reports of deaths on each side what do you know. well the fact that this did not involve any gunshots between the troops of the 2 countries is very
12:06 pm
significant and i understand since the end of the india and china all the clash in 9062 no come fires had happened along the long border and this time was no exception this means that the 2 countries have been maximun restraint even when they come to blows with each other and where you talk about bodily conflicts involving able bodied soldiers it is highly unusual that you would have injuries or even deaths on one side with nothing happening on the other side where there had been some time he's not published. well i think the media reports indicate that being deaths on both sides but as been no government official report on the chinese sites but i would say any death on either side on both side is very very unfortunate and i personally would mourn the death of any soldier
12:07 pm
officer killed in the brawl and i hope neither side will happen with this. bodily injury against each other again victor go you spoke of a long and arduous border but it's also a disputed border why then did chinese troops and to the goddamned valley where this particular clash you knew left only me. well you may know before the british occupied the indian subcontinent india was a cluster of different states and when the british india i'm pyaar was at the peak it kept encroaching into china's tibetan region and this actually calls the lot of the border disputes after the british left especially because the british carved out of this sole called the mark a whole line which successive chinese governments have never recognised and as of
12:08 pm
today it is true that there are border disputes between china and india and india wanted to use the british line of demarcation between china and india and china throughout the ages all through several successive chinese governments have never recognized the legality of the muck a muck a whole line you're up to china and maybe if you use all their wisdom and a thaw site to come to a settlement after that is actually months because it's a few months but that settlement hasn't been arrived at is what i'm saying to go and therefore it doesn't matter for by i'm not going to scarf and something that you alluded to in your 1st answer therefore my question is why did chinese troops unilaterally end where they were last in in 1962. no i don't think what you'll mentioned is accurate on the situation on the ground china has been meant taining it's part of the deal with the indian side and china
12:09 pm
from the very beginning has been urging no conflict and nobody injury would happen and china has been calling for maximum restraint and the fact that china and india have never fired a single shot against each other ever since the end of the china india border war in 1962 that didn't include a side and it has expanded over the 1975 but aside from that you keep talking about all sheltering 5 that is because of confidence building measures c b m's that exist between the chinese army and the indian army and there and then they are quite clearly that north firearms are to be used in these engagements that is the reason why no shots have been fired is it not yes indeed that actually means that both chad i can exercise maximum restraint in situations like this and i hope this will continue to be the case and both sides need to deep escalate and avoid further beauty up the tension you speak about deescalation there is
12:10 pm
a lot of anger and shock in india what is the message from china to india today. well i think the message is undoubtedly a message of peace because both china and india want to develop both countries want to dream he avoids any kind of mid income trap which have fallen our many emerging markets in the world in recent decades and china and india being the 2 largest populations in the world can only can get along with each other rather than fall into a trap of traditional hostility eventually even govern themselves with a great tragedy of war for example china india had a war it was very bitter and it did not leave a very good legacy falls quite a few decades speaking and i can understand if so larry up of conflict would be bad for the 2 nations speaking of that legacy and this deadliest clash in more than 40 years do you think china india ties can actually recover
12:11 pm
absolutely i'm very very confident about the future of relations between china and india why because these 2 are the largest populations in the world china with 1400000000 india with 1300000000 for these 2 countries not to get along and to engage in a war against each other will become it is for both china and india as well as for world of peace therefore any while with decency of mind will need to promote peace and stability and harmony between india there is no other way for these 2 great countries to move forward victor go all of the president to thank you so much for joining us thank you thing in the chinese capital beijing which was cancelled more than half of its tribute commercial flights as the capital struggles to contain a new outbreak of the coronavirus schools are closed for a 2nd day and a travel ban has been imposed stopping those from leaving higher risk areas the new
12:12 pm
outbreak has been traced to a large food market tens of thousands of people are being tested for the virus. building residents thought they'd put this behind them but here they are lining up in the hot sun coronavirus testing after nearly 2 months a new outbreak is causing alarm dozens of cases have been trying to this morning wholesale market it's more than 20 times larger than the work market in rouhani whether virus was 1st identified. pictures from state television showing the response in the surrounding neighborhood residents here are not allowed to leave or say they are in wartime mode to contain the spread the tank diety has already made its way to other parts of the city. i'm very worried for now i don't know what the situation will be in the future because we are getting much information we don't know if the pirates will spread again if it does we should worry. i mean something
12:13 pm
it was supposed to be nearly over and then we suddenly get another wave of cases. into detainment i mean only residents who have been tested negative are allowed to leave the city and only a travel is essential and then just fall short of that full lockdown but the world health organization says beijing is doing enough. and it needs to be investigated. exactly what the chinese authorities are doing but other provinces are concerned many have imposed quarantine requirement hundreds from beijing and the country that had declared victory over the coronavirus is forced to confront the ever present risk of other pressing outbreak. just want to use berlingo joins us now with more from the chinese kept up at all but just did a lot of the virus was found only one tumbling fish. market what more do you know
12:14 pm
about this martyred. this is the biggest market the biggest wholesale market for all kinds of fresh foods for the capital it supplies 80 or 90 percent of some of the most common goods years so it is of course the perfect place if a virus wants to spread throughout a whole city until now authorities have found it in the market and they have found people working on the market being infected they have traced most of the cases back to the market so there's still hope that there is no silence spread in other parts of the city jail authorities are now focusing on the origin off this spread they have talked about salmon although lots of experts doubt that salmon can is really a likely transmitter but it has led to stop off salmon imports and salmon has
12:15 pm
disappeared from restaurants and shelves and supermarkets in beijing and i'm going to use what adult total to use doing to contain this cluster and stop the spread beyond bingeing. well lockdown measures that had just been eased in this city are back now they are being ramped up and many parts of the city but most severely in the surrounding areas some residential areas that are closely linked to the market have been sealed off and the market has been closed off course and the 2nd thing that dorothy's are doing is mohs testing their residence around will be tested 1st 1st there's no communication on further measures yet but i'm hearing that some companies are also testing or they're employ you so this will be the 2nd key. measure and of course the travel bans you have mentioned
