hello welcome to the program i'm bernard smith trouble is brewing up the roof of the world india and china both claim territory along the himalayas the world's tallest mountain range the border dispute goes back decades and tension is on the rise again the indian military says in the 1st week of may indian and chinese soldiers scuffled and threw stones at each other in the pungo so like a nakoula areas chinese state media say indian troops trespassed on chinese territory and accuse them of trying to build the fence facilities but india's government says its soldiers stayed on it signed. both sides appear to be bolstering their presence an australian security analyst posted these satellite pictures on twitter last week they appear to show both sides building more tense and roads within 5 kilometers of the line of actual control which separates the 2 armies diplomatic relations between india and china are deteriorating as katrina you explains from beijing there's always been a dispute that about the territory but in recent weeks it's been intensifying between pilate chinese soldiers in

it is done by every country, not just india. it is done by every country, notjust india. india.ia. every india. it is done by every country, notjust india. every country that suffers from illegal migrants, that is essentially what we are doing. not ina is essentially what we are doing. not in a humanitarian spirit or anything. we have humanitarian sentiments about every person — to save their people and livelihoods from illegal immigrants.” save their people and livelihoods from illegal immigrants. i want to briefly, if i may, before we finished touch on kashmir. last august you revoked article 370 from the constitution, the special status for kashmir. you sent thousands and thousands of troops into the territory and arrested a large number of kashmiri political leaders. we interviewed shah faisal in india, not kashmir. he spoke to us, i believe, from delhi. he was arrested hours after talking to us. he is still in detention today. this month his detention has been extended. he is a so—called moderate leader, a civilian politician, a kashmiri who is proud to be kashmiri. why on

china india relations india has plenty to worry about about a rising china about one that's more a said if and more and expansionist at the same time however india and china have have a lot of common interests they're both rising powers so that if they if they compete fiercely then it's to both of their detriment so i think. so so i think today there are pressures both to cooperate with each other but as well as to compete and some it's again about the ports in sri lanka that china now controls is militaries not allowed to use it but obviously india is worried about these worried about the himalaya border does india have something to worry about or should it really see china as a partner. well there are areas where china and india have cooperated but these have been treating moments of cooperation based upon exigent circumstances for example briefly at the world trade organization. here on issues of climate change but these have been picked at particular moments ultimately we have to recognize that there is a strategic rivalry between china and india and china sees india as the principa

so you know these people come from rather poor families would migrated because that incomes in india low in india we have a very large unorganized sector which employs 94 percent of the workforce so the chances of getting a good income from the organized sector very few and that's like people migrate in large numbers to the vest and to other countries also the employment of what we do have been drying up because the indian economy would be slowing down in the last 3 years was demonic ideation so now when these people have lost just a walk in the best asia you know because of the lockdown or what has happened is that the global economy has gone into a depression petrol prices have fallen crude oil price there fallen so therefore these countries are i think are not able to afford having these people so the remittances to india would drop roughly 8000000 indians that their invest in asia and a large number of them have applied to the indian government to return because they had no work but a month month and a half so when the remittances dry up and the families here in india who are dep

let's introduce our panel in goa in india we have our own kumar a professor at the institute of social sciences in new delhi in london we have full scenario on a sami head of labor rights at the business and human rights resource center and in beirut in lebanon has an eunice a business management analyst thank you all for joining us and let me begin with you what will be the effect on the economies of countries like india pakistan ball nepal bangladesh egypt and the philippines if and when these remittances start drying up. so you know these people come from rather poor families will migrated because that incomes in india low in india we have a very large unorganized sector which employs 94 percent of the workforce so the chances of getting a good income from the organized sector very few and that's likely been migrating large numbers to the vest and to other countries also the employment of what we do have been drying up because the indian economy would be slowing down in the last 3 years post demonetized nation so now when these people have lost just walk in the best asia you know be

is also dried up in india according to a recent report from the center for monitoring indian economy roughly more than 140000000 people have lost employment in the last few months and you know the number is likely to be larger because that doesn't capture the knowledge number of people migrating from cities to lady on foot or otherwise so in other words getting a job for these people would be very difficult in india and therefore there'd be a lot of psychological problems they would have returned without money without any earning without being able to support the family and not able to find god both in economic terms. i don't let you have i think there'd be a crisis. i don't see how reliant on these developing world economies on remittances from from the gulf from the un from the us you know these are these economies like our own set of a hugely dependent on remittances but we also need to focus on on what the immediate concerns are for these workers themselves you know this pandemic really has exposed the structural inequalities that face migrant workers all over the world whether t

india last year took some drastic action inside of kashmir jehmu and. limited further their civil rights and their liberties and within those provinces and they were very upset about that so thing actually and in the suburbs actually in violation of its own constitution final question is india going into a part me is china being aggressive with india because it hates modi who is a friend of donald trump is this new this this this this this antipathy between india and china. no no it goes way back to fact they actually had they actually had a military conflict i think it was in 62 you know predominantly over the basically the same territory there's also question over tibet so now this thing goes on for running away they have troops massed on either side and it doesn't look like there's an end to it even though the u.n. is trying to do something but no one they want to be doing things on a bilateral basis so many players so many problems so many interests such a conflict. michel of yes as usual thanks for being our expert thanks for taking us through this

india.untry, home to over a billion people, birthplace of illustrious, ancient civilisations. .. and today, a fast emerging global power. and 70 years after independence, india is still a diverse, ever—evolving assortment of cultures, creeds, religions and languages. heading off the well—worn tourist path, we're on a journey that spans this vast subcontinent from east to west, travelling from one of the driest places on earth... it's quite incredible, the sand. i mean, it'sjust hard crystals, white salt. you can probably taste it. ..to one of the wettest. these are areas really for the adventurous traveller. this isn't india on tap. i'm on a quest to find out how history, religion and politics have shaped india. and i also meet the people who call this intriguing and sometimes overwhelming country home. it's going to be an amazing journey. for thousands of years, india found its riches and influence through international trade. and at the heart of this enterprise was the sea. and the state o

india is either a miracle or a mystery.ause, a country as vast as india with a population of 1.3 billion, has today less than 1500 deaths. now, the big question is, is this the real situation or is it something else? there are reports that many deaths may not have been recorded because india is a country where underprivileged people can die without diagnosis or treatment. in the second story which has emerged, doctors are being quoted, that many patients have come to hospital 01’ been brought to hospital after they have died and no postmortems have taken place nor testing of families and friends have taken place. so india is a situation where, if one is to be kind, the low testing is of great concern. because low testing leads to low tracing and therefore containment becomes difficult. but, as i said, the officialfigures are still good compared to many parts of the world. asia in general has fared better than europe apart from china and iran. but india, again, is a situation where there is a humanitarian crisis and an econo

the streets of india exploded and there was so much beauty in that. it was incredible, the students, the poets, their human. the women. it was just a display of such wonderful religion. and that is why now under the lockdown, all those who are seen as leaders are put away so that when the lockdown ends, this movement doesn't start up again. because those laws are still and they're just restrained around it. >> i want to stay with. >> .. but there seems to be this intersection of patriarchy and the lockdown and, you know, the militaristic metaphors and it to the person that was asking if you could speak to how you see patriarchy at work in this moment? >> it is extraordinary that coming from whatever studies that i have read about the violence it seems to be effecting men more than women and the consequences are going to be effecting women because this dramatic rise in domestic violence [inaudible] the fact that most of the front-line workers but [inaudible] who are going to be most vulnerable to it will be women and of course this is wrapped up in thi

every year in india, around 70,000 children are reported missing.al number is higher, as many cases aren't registered. young lives lost and never found. almost every time i pick up a newspaper in india, i find an ad for a missing child. the problem is staring this country in the face, but there is very little public outrage. i've been investigating the networks behind this huge trafficking industry and meeting the children it exploits into the sex trade, domestic slavery and, like ahmed, who we saw freed in the raid, into child labour. ahmed and the other boys have been taken to mukti ashram, a rehabilitation centre just outside delhi. here, they are given an education and a fresh start. ahmed was sent to work thousands of miles from home after a trafficker promised his parents he'd give him a better life. how did you get through every single day? and how did your boss treat you? ahmed was rescued by arshad mehdi, who has been fighting child slavery and traffickers for decades, but the task isn't getting any easier. this is jharkhand, 1,000 kilometr

so, india is in a difficult situation today.y back to growth. well, i think indians will be fascinated to hear you, mr rajan, saying the government needs to spend more money, but let's ask you one specific question to end about globalisation. here's a dramatic quote from the current world bank chief economist, carmen reinhart. "i think covid—i9 is the nail in the coffin of globalisation." you've referred your fears for an all—out us—china trade war. is globalisation dead? it can't be dead, and that's the problem, right. we have a growing — an elderly population growing in industrial countries. demand is going to slow down. we have a young population in the emerging markets, and africa is really, really very young. so, if you look at the economic opportunities going forward, they're so big and fostering a genuine globalisation, which works for everyone. my argument has been the democratic backing for globalisation has been wanting, in part, because we haven't made sure the people left behind, especially in industrial country comm

but so far the death rate in india is better when you compare it to china india and health officials say that could be because most people infected were either asymptomatic or have mild symptoms the country's swift and vast shutdown is also credited with preventing a worst outbreak the government is said to decide on whether to extend india's nearly 7 week lockdown. well for more on this now i am joined by india correspondent misha giants far from delhi nimation the caseload is higher than in china now does this name of the country's likely to extend lockdown measures but about her looks like the opposite in fact right now yes toward the eve of its long lockdown and still moral on sunday and. indicated that all of that using is likely on monday already over the last 2 weeks people have been allowed to come out smaller in private offices or started off in some capacity and it seems that just what they've actually might bring some limited background at all it seems have already started running it seems that the government seems fairly confident despite the hike use the word again perha
