sand using cities as water spawn just to fight extreme weather events. the new idea taking root in some chinese cities. ah. my british manager, welcome to did up the news asia. glad you could join us. indian and chinese troops have clashed along a de facto border on india's eastern tip, resulting in injuries on both sides. india defense ministry said the clash occurred last week on friday, along the so called line of actual control or l. a. c, in the ta, long sector in india or not for the state. china claims the entire state as part of its territory. both india and china have their own perception of where the l. a. c, the defective border between both countries lies. it's a more than 3000 kilometer disputed border that extends from i do not provision the

east to push me in the west. the l. a. c has been the scene of a tense face off between india and china after troops of both countries engaged in deadly hand to hand fighting in an area called galvan in june 2020 the himalayan border between india and china is one of the world's hottest flashpoints since the war between the 2 nuclear power, in 1962, there's been a fragile peace along the demarcation known as the line of actual control. here people's liberation army troops faced soldiers from the indian army in an uneasy stand of a research in china as flexing its muscles in the region. there are fears this could crank up tensions with india, which is about to overtake china as the world's most populous nation. you daily wants to prove india has the military power to match its growing economic strength in both countries displays of strength in the border, dispute go down well with

a domestic audience. no. there are long standing agreements forbidding the use of firearms along the ill defined border one. when the 2 clashed in 2020 troops thought hand to hand with spears and clubs in the gul, one valley of the dock. at least 20 indian and 4 chinese soldiers were killed. prime minister to render mode, he said india would stand its ground. sean hara county dot india wants peace again. but if provoked, we are capable of giving an appropriate response. ha, ha, ha ha. may yet hold the last week's incident. so up to $400.00 people's liberation. army soldiers clash with indian troops in our room. the child, prodigy, china, play down the tensions between the 2 countries. u. m l. yeah, the china, india, florida areas are generally stable and the 2 sides have maintained smooth communication through diplomatic and military channels. but overall relations between india and

china remain tense. beijing is particularly upset about india's participation in the quad security dialogue, which also includes the u. s. and american allies, japan and australia and gentlemen offer more context is jabante jacob, he's a china unlist and associate professor at ship. another university. professor jacob, there has been somewhat of an uneasy calm at this disputed boat for some time. what prompted this latest clash? well, you know anyone to get a bunch of reasons. this is supposed to fall this winter. so usually this is not a time when the 2 site come into contact us. it clearly indicates that there is some thought we put into a, you know, such a clash, at least from the chinese site. so i mean, if you look at it from just the bilateral context and in general context, so maybe

a couple of reasons on the bilateral context. i think, you know, we've just more or less finally come to some sort of a disengagement that section points that were generated after the 2020 trashes. but there are still some larger issues. i mean, some other areas in the doc itself that are still on the, on the negotiating table, but these are long standing or what? because the legacy issues are chinese front questions that need to be sorted out. i think one of possibility here would be that the chinese are putting pressure on the new negotiators by opening up the front so that these are the issues that not which you know, they have been in which i'm pretty much gone in favor of china for a while now on the other sort of the larger regional in general context would be that the americans and the dns recently had

a lateral metric size in the state of iraq and which is about the state along the sea. so the claim that needs to violate their boundary agreements, which is not entirely true because the prices did not violate any of the, especially clauses of the to treat the treaties between the 2 countries in china. but the chinese have been extremely concern for a while now. about the growing closeness between the indian and the american media that the americans. so a one point you talked about this bilateral point and about the point of disengagement because china and india are both been attempting to disengage from most part of the us in the sea. for the better part of 2 years and some disengagement has happened. but overall it's proving problematic. does china not want to leave this position to turn in their claims it has occupied i think that is pretty much the message that the chinese are sending, that you know, we are in control of what we are in control. and there is no question of us in

these places, but the specific points of this engagement, i mean, these are specific points other than last tracks of area. so those ideas, you know, that i need update and i am disengaged from so clearly the message seems to be that, you know, the chinese dictating the pace of whatever happens along the sea. they come in and transgress. and then when it's time for then even the negotiations to actually walk back from the transgressions are a huge pain. which makes it really, you know, which uses up a lot of india energies and die. and the tradition of sort of seems to be that, you know, you push india as much as you can keep the distracted and signal also that, you know, these are ways in which china's communicating to india that they have the strong bar on the sea as well. as you know, that will,

the other part that he has to deal with and america is too far away for india to actually depend on the line. and the signals are, you're a actual control, the de facto border between both countries. but just staying on the border in foreign minister or stretch junker has said in the past of the state of the border will determine the state of the relationship with china. what does this relationship look like now after this incident? well, it's just that the india has to constantly be alert to new, right? it is new when i did a concentrate on along the sea. you know to the story, it's been seen that the line of actually controlling the western sector is much more accessible, which is a dock and then the back. it is much more accessible,

both military in the 2nd are not to produce that that is much harder. even if infrastructure is better on the chinese site, i still eat quite hard for both sides to access every points. so the feeling was that this was not so easily, you know, prone to crashes and conflicts, but even so there have been of points along the eastern sector as well. wear glasses occurred. but this was probably the last time that had been actually, well the physical injuries and the numbers. i think what's particularly unique about the situation is the numbers of the chinese deployed in this particular operation. everything to place in the money on a very cold december night or the number the police didn't seem to suggest a fair degree of planning, a fair degree of some sort of omission from the higher echelons on the chinese side to do something like this. i mean, we don't have that much time or part time,

but could you look into a crystal ball and think, is there something that in there to potentially do as a confidence building measure potentially to try and resolve the situation? i think what does this is that incident building measures unilaterally from the indian side have failed? i have anything. oh, what the problem is precisely though the chinese keep expecting the indians to sort of walk back or to negotiate or to come up with an extra confidence building measures. and it's any just simply taking advantage of anything. the solution now seems to be a no, it's not at and light like responses. and that again we're in the. busy you know seems to be holding back, but for how long they will hold back, if anybody's guess. were leave there for the timing. thanks so much for joining us to their job in jacob. ah. in china, some local governments are warming to the idea of building sponge cities that is building water absorbing infrastructure in cities as

a cushion against board floods and droughts. extreme weather events that china has itself experienced in recent years. a sponge park and a chinese city of non chung it's not made of sponge is it works like them. the $126.00 acre park now serves as a reservoir for the cities excessive rainwater. and when it gets to dry pipes and channels can transport water from here for plant irrigation. so the whole park is like an ecological batter them an ecological collecting cancer which can collect 1000000 cubic meters of rain water from surrounding areas in extreme weather conditions and possibly when the rain water is collected here, one of the higher parts of the city will be safe, i mean now i saw not. but what makes this park spongy lays of porous volcanic rocks plus a mixture of soil and fly ash the residue of coal combustion. it's part of beijing's incentive to transform metropolises into so called sponged cities.

landscape architect yukon. jen is the supervisor of the sponge park project in non chun. he believes much of the modern infrastructure in his country is being built based on ideas imported from europe, which he says ill fitted for the monsoon climate in asia. and he says, innovations are essential for a sustainable future. sadie, i was sponder said it is to cover the cover, give water more space, give a river more. lisa lucy, keepers, a city more open, brief, you know, be able, a city will be able to brief. instead of paved out concrete or let the water go under, under a panel off pump out, doing flat, sots useless, say, will fail,

and continue to fail. but experts say, such parks cannot withstand extreme downpours which have become more frequent due to climate change. as weather events, gain intensity, such water absorbing infrastructure will be constantly put on the test to see if it can become an example for other cities. that's it for today, there's mo, from the region on our website. and as ever you can follow us on facebook and twitter the to tomorrow. when the juice runs out, simply walk the battery. that's what the chinese car maker neo is offering. now also in germany and we're about to try it out. how does it work?

how long does it take? and what are the benefit? read with d w a uses to thought they will grade, he will be able to day on rez. is devi battery swapping better than charging can sanctions it? russia revive? it's soviet eric har. brands and why does this woman love her v w golf mark one? so much.
