Welcome to the program lets begin with the border crisis between india and china both sides saying theyre working to ease tensions after a longstanding dispute led to violence earlier this week 20. Indian soldiers were killed in the worst fighting in the disputed himalayan region in decades top diplomats from the 2 countries have spoken over the telephone and they have agreed to restart the talks well the dispute centers on the Garden Valley region catch a lopez who has more in the remote western himalayas there is little evidence of what that indian and chinese soldiers to the worst of violence in decades. India and china share the world the longest unmarked border. Chinese military drills like this one have become more common both sides have increased their military presence in recent months with tension rising over who owns what land. The border has been disputed since india and china went to war in 1062. 00 the line a yellow is the socalled line of actual control but there are several disputed areas on either side one of the main ones is exciting its claimed by india that administered by china. China says their shared interests are stronger than their conflicts curd it also has a warning which we once again ask india to act on our consensus and strictly disciplined us troops not to cross the line to provoke and not to take unilateral action that may complicate the situation. Prime minister Narendra Modi says india wants peace but is ready to defend itself. I want to assure the nation that the sec refined our soldiers have made will not stores a waste for us the integrity of india and our sovereignty is the most important thing and nobody can stop us from protecting them nobody should have an illusion all doubts and this message. For the families its a time of mourning this father says he cant believe his son a colonel is dead now dont you feel under deep shock after hearing about my sons misfortune i never expected this he would usually work in difficult places. But that Indian Officials have rejected accusations they calls this escalation furious protesters say china must be punished while the debate over the border isnt new the circumstances have now changed this time model is a more aggressive posture for the. Region looks like a deliberate policy to create a bridge in between india or other Material Information for between india and china at the highest level a political divide has turned violent now raising the stakes for beijing a new delhi over where their vast frontier begins and ends. With a young. Elizabeth khurana has this update from new delhi. Both foreign ministries have released statements saying that they are going to deescalate the situation on the border as soon as possible that follows a phone conversation between the Foreign Ministers but whats really interesting is that they continue to blame each other for what happened for the violence in the strongest possible terms both sides maintaining that it was the other that trespassed on their territory started the violence and also that it was the other that broke the june 6th agreement to deescalate here and the other government is under pressure to both explain how 20 soldiers were killed along the border for the 1st time in 45 years and also to take action against what happened because for the past 10 days the government had been assuring people that any border disputes could be solved through dialogue and wall many defense experts were accusing china of encroaching on and the u. S. Territory the government said that the situation was under control now we are seeing those protests will be a small in many cities around and here with the burning of chinese flags but weve also got reports of Residents Welfare associations asking people to throw out their chinese products and weve seen videos of people doing so as well as that we also have a heightened nationalist media and who are blaming china for what happened and theyve also joined the chorus here asking Indian Government what its going to do to retaliate to respond to the deaths of the 20 soldiers to trainees in beijing the Authorities Say efforts are under way to defuse tensions with india. China says its in close communication with india by both diplomatic and military channels a Foreign Ministry spokesperson jolly gen spoke to the media today on wednesday and said that both sides were intent on resolving this peaceful dialogue and that john ignored. The clashes at the same time john laid the blame for the deadly brawl on monday so when the deal to india according to beijing the truce lives actually reached a consensus on the border dispute on june 6th but indian troops violated this consensus and he said they provoked and attacked chinese personnel he also went on to urge the Indian Military to discipline its troops he went on to say further that the location where this altercation took place the goal one valley he said that this was and has always been chinese territory something thats heavily disputed by india and he said that clearly it was clear about who was on the right and the wrong side of this clash that resulted in the deaths of those soldiers on monday now according to indian media there were chinese casualties as well but the Chinese Government is yet to release any numbers and there is some speculation that they may never release these numbers a state media here are saying that this is in fact a sign of goodwill from beijing an example of beijing wanting to pursue peace with india and not wanting to spark any confrontational sentiment that may lead to all out conflict joining us now is d. B. S. And hes professor of International Relations at the university of westminster he joins us on skype from london. Both sides clearly here want to maintain an aggressive posture who do you seeing within this equation of one side blaming the other who do you think actually started this. I think lets start with the idea that this is not india china border dispute that have struck it recently or that started in 162 with the war it started with the fact that the region here probably about what neither chinese north indian region belonged to defect and it didnt belong to the state of young men question who were in there in china quite the military theme that belonged to steve maybe not in this impending people but what occupied by that left number 2 at this point in time the reality is more challenging dont be so do an aggressive for both of them have a very strong nationalist government both of them have government that want to show for their own public that they will do is fall that 2nd bag now but turn back around it every year but on this fine they will be chinese troops and indian troops recording them back again so thats nothing new in that whats new of course if chinese troops coming in and stay for longer and thats what has stuck and thats not what china would say if they did it because india started developing infrastructure on its site of what we dont generally game in there that they cannot agree on where the lines are but the reality is china has been effective not only in this begun but also in hong kong the f. T. Have been effective with every other country thats the largest chain in china but one thing you have to bear in mind there also and you dont want to collapse repeat it all where each on foreign india India Government that claims to be very strong you know the government at least to be that any Indian Government have inch have been sure that its full of doubt and weak because of what one of their promise was a strong india but what they got was an Indian Military that were ill prepared to deal with them if their future both sides have agreed to begin again their talks over this disputed region can anything positive come out of those discussions. One should hope that something political come up with both who despite what theyre said there would be its going to remember all 6 of them because theyre going to be authentic but they want this. Conflict very rare less theyve been sold it off 7 kids and were not on because were going to change that why did this happen this happens not because all you them both signed that ignore and or they want to fight and kill each other it happens because of course the instruction from that dog is not pretty clear the door to deescalate but they dont know how exactly to do because it locked up national and will say whats likely to happen and we cant predict whats likely to happen in Washington State of india because Indian Government has the leaves on critics or groups on public but bill try to reduce the tension because neither gets capable of thinking montana right now nor china would benefit from pushing in get towards more interaction of the us and of the power of the big one geopolitical and billick this one back but look 2nd remind us of dealing with but couldnt get the thing that we dealing with a government that has freed politicly because theyve promised a lot but could not deliver because that was what it promised of this wrong in the us what Work Experience with it where is the bully does not have the wrong military because of course everything is going to propaganda i think that on the fact that not in will be that strongly good thoughts and ill end with that he needed me you have been blaming channel or indian levy and also some dont believe in military for not be prepared when the reality is its horrific leadership that had been promising a lot and that had been. Using the language of war specially with question the myth of the pakistan but sometimes all that santa but not prepared to go ok well leave it there thanks very much for joining us from london. Ok turning our attention now to the Korean Peninsula where a war of words is for escalating a dispute there north korea as warning it will redeploy troops near the border and resume military exercises but seoul says it will no longer tolerate what it calls pyongyangs unreasonable behavior brought reports now from par jewel in south. Area. Making its message clear and unequivocal the destruction of the joint Liaison Office has been widely broadcast by north korean state run media accompanied by warnings that it will increase its military presence along the border separating the 2 koreas. Guard posts that had been removed to deescalate tensions will now be restored while military exercises on the northern side of the border will be resumed bringing this unusually strong response from the south. Such moves thought to the efforts and achievements made by the 2 koreas to maintain peace and the north will surely pay if these measures are put into action the north has blamed the south for allowing defectors to release propaganda balloons into its territory but north Korean Leader kim jong un is also frustrated at his failure to get more concessions in summits with the south korean president moon j. N. And with u. S. President donald trump the north seeming to conclude the current path of diplomacy has run its course trump just doesnt its just not that interested anymore and moon is very constrained by sanctions i mean thats why this thing is sort of been frozen for a year and a half im just not sure that much can change in the next 6 months or 8 months a jew on the Southern Side of the border relatives of people abducted during the korean war hold a simple ceremony. And then events are being staged with the coming 70th anniversary of the start of the conflict least sango was a baby when his father was abducted to the north. For him and others still living with the wars consequences this latest attempt at reconciliation has achieved little condone when kim jong un wouldnt recognize this even uses and the south korean or dmitri couldnt put the issue on the table green the summit in any case this section of the border is where rail and road links were meant to be connected if the Current Initiative had been a success it was planned that purdue would become one of the main crossing points between north and south in what would be a new era of peaceful coexistence on the peninsula they are hopes that for the time being at least seeing dashed once more Robert Bright aljazeera to south korea ok lets stay with her story for a minute or so kim jong is the younger sister of the north Korean Leader kim jong il and she has emerged as a main figure in the countrys power structure kim gained International Prominence in 2018 as the 1st member of the ruling family to visit south korea the same year she joined her brother on a Diplomatic Mission to south korea china and the United States has also been promoted to pyongyangs powerful politburo recently she has strongly criticized the south korean president warned of sending troops to the border a joint Liaison Office was blown up after kim jong threatened to destroy it in Foster Carter as a korea analyst at Leeds University he says although the north Korean Leader system does hold a powerful position the tough posturing is simply a distraction. He studied in switzerland as a child like her brother did it so sadly you know the west especially western education doesnt seem to sort of have the softening fact that some people think that it would the really important thing is that from being sort of in a background of coming along with the blotting paper to dry his success with the science deals and stuff like that shes not very important i dont write as she does she does number of statements the sea air and more particularly this past week. So i think theres a sort of something going on quite apart from all the into current stuff itself up behind the scenes there is an issue we all got part about kim jong uns health when he disappeared for a few weeks recently there isnt a clear line of succession because his children are very young in this strange registry communism so do the testing the system would seem to me to have to be to be to deal with domestic politics but obviously it has become negative ramifications for International Politics as well north criminalist if if they had sanctions to some degree of the economy is bad mainly because of epic restrictions for the current of us or a claim not to actually have so you know what do you do you create a distraction you make will scream people very angry against the South Koreans and they want you to flame option the whole of that so i think its about domestic politics economics as well as making trouble internationally.
