Thank you very much for joining us india and china are both accusing the others soldiers of firing shots in a new confrontation along their disputed himalayan border china says indian troops crossed the line of control in the Western Region on monday and opened fire and its soldiers took what it called countermeasures but a short time ago indias military laid the blame with china accusing it of provocative measures to escalate tension both sides usually avoid firing a using firearms in the area will be live with elizabeth rainham in indias capital new delhi in just a moment but 1st a katrina you in beijing so katrina once again we have conflicting claims from both sides about whats happening at that border region what is beijing saying happened in the state this incident. Thats right fully well according to chinas military this is the 2nd time they say that indian troops have violated aboard this border agreement in the past 2 weeks now they say that this took place in the eastern lundahl area which is close to chinas tibet an autonomous region along this border area and according to the chinese side there were some chinese troops which approached the indian side in order to conduct negotiations and then they say that some indian troops fired at the chinese side and as a result chinas military were forced to take countermeasures although we dont know exactly what form those countermeasures took and also we dont know whether there were any casualties involved in this incident now china has called this a serious provocation and violation of the border agreement we know that things between these 2 sides have been tense for some years but if this is true this will be one of the 1st times firearms have been involved in about 40 years there had been agreement to keep firearms out of it but we do know that things have been escalating with both sides building up troops for the past 2 months staring at times at each other eyeball to eyeball along this disputed area both sides and able to agree over this line of actual control which is further complicated by this complex topography along the region now when our firearms have not been used but things did escalate in june where there was a skirmish between both sides and these 20 indian soldiers will last china says that its conducting negotiations and dialogues with the indian side there have been talks at Different Levels for the past few weeks including very high level talks in moscow between both the defense ministers from both countries just last friday but it seems that those talks have been very limited in terms of what progress they have been able to make and india also says that china has captured 5 indian civilians and Chinas Foreign Ministry when asked about this said they didnt have any information saying simply that there were continuing dialogue with india that they wanted peace but Chinas Foreign Ministry has predictably laid the blame for escalating tensions completely with the indian side thank you for that katrina you in beijing lets go to elizabeth for the view from india in new delhi so as weve said liz both sides usually avoid using firearms in india is denying be behind this latest escalation. Hi folly the latest statement from the indian army shows just how intractable this legs a standoff between the 2 countries is the indian army is saying that at no point did it transgress across that line of actual control the unofficial border between the 2 countries or resort to any aggressive means including firing they are saying that it was the chinese army that tried to close in on one of indias positions and when they were just weighted by their own troops that they fired a few rounds in the air theyre also saying that despite a grave provocation that indian troops exercised great restraint that they are committed to just engagement to deescalation that china continues to undertake provocative activities to escalate and theyre also saying that the latest statement by the chinese army about the firing this an attempt to mislead its domestic and International Audience now this happened just 3 days after that meeting between the 2 countries defense ministers at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit it was the highest level meeting between the 2 countries since the current standoff began in may as and we also had both sides saying that the other agreed to deescalate the situation after that but we have had so many rounds of talks at Different Levels since may and each time they maintain that they are committed to disengaging and get weve had more incidents including the most serious between the 2 countries in june when those 20 indian soldiers and unknown number of chinese soldiers were killed and we do have a meeting between the Foreign Ministers of the 2 countries coming up again coming up rather again at that Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit on thursday thank you for that and this is a random line for a senior demi.

Chung they is in custody not a number of reasons that we are unclear of and also we have another member of a union in german whos in john has been so for 18 months facing its been charges so unfortunately this looks like a pattern that the Chinese Government is using journalists as just tools in a diplomatic can you hear very little about what happened to journalists or detained we know that that has received consular assistance but thats thats about it and this appears to be a pattern of intimidation by the chinese authorities to try to get the story of china told in the way it wants and i mean it also appears to be a bit of tit for tat tied in with trade disputes chinas long struggle with this United States maybe a stray here is seen as a as a as a pawn or a patsy for the United States its very unclear whats going on and its very disappointing because i mean china does not have a Civil Society where freedom of the press exists so its disturbing that that pattern is being rolled out against western and other journalists you know diplomatic game that is very dangerous for our members and other journalists to cover china.
