that i was able to bill to just because in berlin because it's very closely related to me as a person who is architecture is a celebration of democracy and peace. ah, it's not buildings. the biggest thing in the world is this spirit of freedom. he amazes the world with his buildings and architect of emotions. architecture is kind of a mystery. believe me. daniel lee biskin and starts december 25th on d. w. 50 dublin years, asia coming up to date. tensions between afghanistan and pakistan. turn deadly. recent flashes over a disputed border have killed at least 9 and injured doesn't. can the 2 sides resolve differences before the escalade further? and a new freedom comes with fear in china. beijing report its 1st colbert death in weeks

cases, a surgeon after the end of strict vidas controlled. many what a deadly months. good lawyer had. ah, i'm british manager, welcome to deed of the news asia. glad you could join us. at least 9 people have died in just a days in violent clashes between of gone and pakistani forces. the violence has occurred on an important border crossing between both nations. the one linking the town of chapman in pakistan to spin bolduc enough honest on, on a daily basis trade as an ordinary people use it to cross into both nations. but it's also a part of a disputed border between the 2 countries. the so called durand line was drawn by the british during colonial rule of law, nissan has refused to agree to it as an official border with pakistan. and the past

few days have seen that disagree won't turn deadly. the remains of shells that have damaged homes and destroyed lives with and the border town of chairman in pakistan, civilians are again counting their losses just a few days after clashes broke out between their country war and neighboring afghanistan. as about a 100 younger, put lightings happening on both sides of the border that when people are leaving the area, one of her producer was the one more to hit a house and killed one person. the recipe. also some shells hit houses in a nearby village over and wounded women and children worked on both sides using heavy weapons and also you can see and hear it sounds of firing and bloss alarm of treating all the injured has pushed hospitals into crisis. mold, doctors assure that seems like this will continue to happen if the conflict turns

hot again. ever since to both of pakistan in 1947, afghanistan has contested the british era boundary demarcation, known as the durant line tension to further risen since the taliban returned to powell last year, mainly of the pakistan's construction of a fence along the border. meanwhile, islam about says taliban rulers have sheltered militants to carry out attacks on his soil. as bilateral ty suffer civilians a bearing the brunt of the conflict. like berlin found my work on the border, we asked the government to stop the fighting so we can continue to earn our living with the wrong with at this key, treat brute between the 2 neighbors, civilians, a flea, it's a fight that many who live closest to the border just want to end let's get more

context on this for my colleague. did other report abuse, job or 2 joins been out in the studio. finish. welcome, what's the immediate cause of this conflict? glare. so i've gotten his thumb of blames pakistan for having some of the it's checked both in of honda teddy and are what a bug as an official fee is that some of the packers and the security forces were repaired and one such check paused. and then the dispute started from their fighting a fight and started and then been, or that it down little as you have seen in that it board. and the reason for the, at these caches is, ah, that of run by lavon forces because unsafe are damaging. the fence fed, it has installed on the 2600 long kept joints of 100 kilometer long border. so by for by boston, it's a matter of national security. i've gone balaban said that with their don't want this fence on the border and they do not recognize the border,

also known as the durant light. so why doesn't the of godaddy bon all wire with other afghan government also recognized the brand line? so it didn't line was the market it in 1893 by a british colonial rules to clearly show that the limit from where british, in the us started at that time of land of guns, said that this border, or dest frank theory has divided the bush stone population, and also it has deprived of gone as time of access to the arabian sea and made it a landlord country on also of mount i live and say that this borders border allows a borders border would allow free movement of its people. free movement of local tribesmen to getting on business earth, and they all to have relatives in our, in bought parts of our bucket border. the problem is that for the years, that has been a free movement on this border and there is

a public thank and also on both sides of the boarded, especially in afghanistan, that has never recognized this as a broader and now because of defense, public sentiment has don't against the fence and like all previous governments, i forgot i live and also do not want to recognize do it in line because politically and domestically. it's an issue are it's a heart issue. mac are speaking of the of gun taliban by gustavo long term support of the av grandfathered by me is well known. one will think that this is destroy the ideal conditions for board. so as to sit across the table of sort this out. why aren't they being able to do this? i it said difficult issue to resolve for biker fan, like i had said, it's a matter of national security by gus and believe that if that border is borders, then dentists and militants from of gone fi site can enter into bucket, found a dad marcus on his theater, ah, it also doesn't want a huge influx of afghan refugees entering into pakistan because toward the border

crossings for and, and did our 5 border crossings between pakistan and afghanistan. and they're, there. anybody who's entering into pakistan but as any forces checks their documentation. and if der, if, and for instance, and many of the dimes these of guns refugees want to enter into bugs and do not have proper documentation for about this. and also wants to stop in flaw of narcotics entering into pakistan for, for bugs. and it has many, these things are for having this fence in stone and foot of gone taliban and they do not as didn't recognize it. so it's a, it's a rift, it's a problem that doesn't seem to be, i don't think it's going to be dissolved anytime soon. your to talked about militants coming across from the of gone side into pakistan. at the same time we have the turks, brother barcus time, italy bron on pakistan, new security forces. are those increasing attacks somehow related to this border dispute that in roles the afghan balaban and the by on government, so delicate,

i live on pakistan or pakistani development. it's one of the main reasons why there are now. there is a big drift between pakistan and of gone. balaban. buck is on believes that betty good valuable pakistan has clause dice with afghan taliban familial days. with many of these members of pakistan, balaban live in afghanistan, that's where but back on claims. because on has reached a long and expensive war against marcus and the militants, cousins of peoples have lost their lives in dead. it is at that gleam by that it gets alpine pakistan and buck is on was hoping that if it will have and have gone taliban government in afghanistan, i somehow because of pakistan's years of supporting of gun taliban, they would listen to pakistan and would try to influence and control the movement of a dead eager dial upon by different into, into,

into pakistan. but are the opposite has happened. it has kind of surprised by august on and it's ended are many reasons why they think it might might look like taliban as supporting august on the 11th, they are from the same bush stone belt. both of them have helped each other in the past, and for now it seems that a front i live mine at least, are not listening to pakistan when it comes to controlling the movement of a, a back as an evaluation. if we leave it there with that, i mean, but thanks so much for coming in and break that down for us. thank you. ah, china reported to covert debts on monday. the 1st in weeks for death come during a surgeon cases since the government abandoned its strict 0 over policy arlia this month, health experts and many among the chinese public doubt, the official debt stone is the full picture. and while some are taking advantage of new freedoms, others,

what is the worst is yet to come. people invade ging lineup to get nasal spray boosters. cases are searching after the government abruptly ended. it's strict 0 covey policy. in the wake of nationwide protests against the restrictions authorities are trying to persuade reluctant seniors and others at risk to get vaccinated to prevent large scale outbreaks, hospitalizations, and death. those already showing symptoms make their way to temporary clinics set up around. the city like is public gymnasium, where they can get medical advice and treatment. others are opting to stay home either because they're already sick or trying to avoid infection. that means deliveries of food and every day items are in heavy demand. but scores of workers are also coming down with the virus. so packages pile up on
