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 no shots were fired among those left a rare the family of colonel some polish bobbies who was killed. in the woods this was shot since yesterday we have been in a deep shock on hearing about my son's misfortune and my. sons we never expected this but it is not new for him to be working in such difficult difficult places. where. protesters gathered in the city of a made of odd demanding revenge and calling for a boycott of chinese goods oh we've got we've got a let's make india self-reliant and give china fits and reply beijing says it was

defending its territorial integrity. shockingly. indian troops seriously violated the bilateral consensus and crossed the border line twice engaging 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 in the one as the line of actual control it is not a hard frontier since china and india have never agreed on where it should lie and 2017 the 2 sided confronted each other for $73.00 days after indian troops blocked chinese construction of a road. 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 on nations. we

spoke about this simmering conflict with victor gao a former interpreter for chinese leader deng xiaoping. professor university it is very unfortunate for china and india to have this. confrontation along the very long very obvious border secondly the fact that. deaths occurred on both sides or was is extremely unfortunate and 3rd point is that fortunately 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 will be detrimental to both countries and i think the top priority is to negotiate a peaceful settlement of all the conflict between the 2 countries. joining us now

from delhi is our correspondent in. china says both sides need to deescalate and they have no interest in conflict what does india say. my going to. india how does he or the military. who was on the back that isn't deescalation a deep. well. actually it's all people should. how elegant. the narrative that why you want to see it don't keep these for days but that you put in there and you don't actually if you have been willing to spend it's all vanity and as not a great action now for us when some of the immensely popular anything happened on the net on indian forces that are all in the media and have was for

action on it at least and over a little. over the last 20 but i'll fly it looks like once i do d.s. that it's 2 ish this is barely the most serious confrontation in their case what does delhi saying on who started the violence. it's important to understand the context. of the concept that basically this has been there and then she has a lot of. traction. now that china. does that as deescalation that the insight is actually a complete lie all of the. chinese laws is different. in chinese deputy. national. interests the chinese are. and this is not the wind.

and season by that is that indian political. elite the internet all of this on our list. and we also heard that no shots were fired and yet people died how. us this is the who was and each meant a lot the slight actually. now in $862.00 what happened c.d.'s that slipped in $167.00 and that's that but in the 40 years that have been cited and this is one of the duels are being each an. enormous however even we've got to be. there. that will see that even. in the ease of chinese aggression however.

if this is just because this is. what did you. think even thought about and. didn't get the treatments and yet not all of them were sex. what there is as well a correspondent in delhi thank you. now for a quick roundup of the developments in the corona virus pandemic new zealand has put border quarantine measures in the hands of the military that's after 2 people who arrived from britain were released from quarantine and then tested positive new infections have hit record highs in 6 u.s. states including texas florida and oklahoma and oregon president's trump is holding a companion rally in our oklahoma this weekend the president of honduras one orlando hernandez has tested positive for the virus and $400.00 people have also tested positive for the virus at meatpacking plant in the western german district

be nationwide agreement we also expect those distance requirements of 1.5 meters to be largely maintained also requirements to wear masks on public transport but having said that since may since that last meeting it is quite clear that there's no central line that germany is towing any more beyond the bottom line agreement that there shouldn't be more than 50 infections per 100000 inhabitants in one week that's the emergency brake everyone agreed to here nationwide the german biotech firm has been given the green light to start trying an experimental coronavirus vaccine on humans jury says a vaccine could be available from the middle of next year 2 days ago the german government ordered a 23 percent stake in the company sure of its made headlines this year with reports that the trump ministration tried to acquire exclusive rights to

to reach this stage. if the results are positive and reliable data can be collected early one could imagine that we could be talking about filing an application for authorization for use at the beginning of next year . competition is fierce there are 139 facilities worldwide working on a corona vaccine 2 of them have been once they will seek approval of that vaccine later this year. some of the other stories making headlines this hundreds of households of the german capital berlin been placed under quarantine after dozens of people tested positive for the corona virus outbreak in the north korean neighborhood involves 7 apartment buildings residents will not be allowed to leave their homes for 14 days. the trouble administration is suing former national security adviser john bolton to prevent the release of a book about his time in the white house the administration says the text contains

classified information the publisher calls the lawsuit attempt to block a book deemed unflattering to the president. french comic iran though is facing resistance to its restructuring plans workers in the factory in paris are protesting the planned 2024 closure of the plant that closure as part of a comprehensive cost cutting package you know has long been struggling even before the coronavirus prices it. through. around the world the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted people's lives and livelihoods and it's forced many to find new ways of making ends meet or even putting food on the table. as a look at how some people in 10 years tops all nairobi are adapting. joshua and his brother seem like old pros at the delivery business but just 3 months ago geeky ran invents business and his brother worked for an ngo when corona virus hit

all event bookings were canceled and the protest was about the food delivery service that buy food and vegetables at the market and take them to their clients' doorstep was a good thing and this is a lesson that you can't believe everything. too many great events where maybe my great wide events. draw readings in our mind because people need it and. indeed he believes that it could be a year before the events business is back on its feet but he thinks that food deliveries might be a good addition to his company. like the brothers many nairobi into trying to adapt to life under the coronavirus pandemic. this roadside market appeared here a few weeks ago and people prefer coming here to buy their fruit and vegetables rather than going to the crowded market. there's no haggling by vendors and

squeezing past other shoppers so other than tipping an eye out for passing trucks keeping one's distance isn't a problem. the dentist here teaches drivers to guides middle class kenyans who have lost their jobs or unpaid leave. they're trying to earn a little extra by reselling food from the markets both selling parties from their own farms. i was passing by then i saw. people selling like say that i don't take imus trite your traders are very fearful of course you need to know why you're on the road. well you'd be a good we had this good food wonder to behold my children made for me. one of the few sectors that has partially reopened as the restaurant business. this area is famous for its roast meat and its my clubs on a normal weekend the stands here usually sell up to 150 keiji of meat a day nowadays they only sell half of that. not to many

kenyans roast meat is like a staple food when going out on the weekends it's like the kelp in turkey all the time african pride and most people don't want to miss out on it. most restaurants however confound the strict guidelines that include testing the staff and the 1.5 meter space between each table so take away is still the best option. if you had to come. in for coffee. then you wouldn't even fight. the police because this is all is up you know for. the number of corona cases in kenya still rising slowly but surely and while many kenyans are concerned about keeping the virus in check all they really want is an end to the crisis. today is world desertification day and with that the u.n. is raising the alarm about the spread of deserts around the world and says in just 20 years we may run out of productive land needed to sustain our consumption the

coronavirus global warming and even military conflicts have strong connections to how we use and misuse land around the globe in africa the saddle region south of the sahara desert already faces creeping desertification countries such as mali have seen less rainfall and more drought in recent years. the rainy season in mali has just ended but in many parts of the country the land is still extremely dry. 10 years ago it wasn't this bad back then you people here could plant rice today that's impossible no one should fell trees here anymore or we won't get any running to. the region is facing huge problems people's livelihoods here depend on the land the most important crop is cotton but it needs a tremendous amount of water because of declining rainfall many locals here have started selling charcoal in time forests have been reduced to black chips in white

sacks for sale on the roadside but there are alternatives. and we were told that fewer trees would mean even drier conditions that's why i decided to stop making charcoal and start planting trees i can earn a good living doing this i sell saplings from my nursery and grow eucalyptus trees that i sell as lumber. another alternative is using a different kind of seed that does better in drier conditions. and that it will be . what am i used to harvest only one and a half tons of millet. at once and my man with the new seeds you know i get double that from south and it was a little. but the man says this is just the beginning he's determined to continue his public outreach program until everyone in the area knows how they can help stop climate change. now as brilliant as ignorant john from d.w.

environment at how serious a problem is as difficult a ship now deserved vacation is not just about deserts i think that's one of the surprising things that people don't realize that includes all areas of dry land that are being degraded so parts of the world the us gas and water which is that covers about $3000000000.00 people is almost half the world and what we're seeing with climate change with people over exploiting the land through farming and other different station efforts we're seeing this land become less hospitable to wildlife we are seeing vegetation being reduced and that's hurting people's livelihoods so it's a huge problem and i think the current estimates are that about 10 percent of the world's dryland are classed as deserved vacation hot spots. so these lead to these really deadly dust storms that make it very difficult to breathe and they really

make it difficult for people to earn a living from the land that used to be 1st time that we heard about mali and that report what other areas are affected and how badly. so most areas affected by desert for cation in africa across africa and across asia so i think $46.00 of the $54.00 countries in africa vulnerable to desert for cation right now and in asia maybe fewer countries and less land but more people exposed but i think it's important to remember and this is what scientists have stressed this really affects the entire world now in europe we're seeing droughts last in longer that more than 10 days study came out in the u.s. just a few months ago saying that a 2nd dust bowl like the one during the great depression in the 1930 s. is now twice as likely with the current level of the greenhouse gas emissions that we have today and if you talk about greenhouse gas emissions that with what's being

done globally to install this sticker dace novel and. so there are massive regeneration efforts being put in place so countries taking areas of land that had already been degraded and planting trees they're bringing back the wildlife that used to be living there and in some countries you're seeing a positive effect even on the economy from an example we heard recently from a un lead for combating to that occasion was that tunisia one of the world's poorest countries by re re putting wildlife back into the country into areas that have been degraded they managed to increase tourism getting giraffe that attract to earth and help the economy so i think in total more than 80 countries have pledged to regenerate more than 400000000 hectares of land by 2030. from our environment as a thank you very much. sports now the champions 6 league will resume
