a 3rd day against the government. strict cobit 19 measures. the demonstrations are a rare display of public defiance against one of president teaching pins, policies. despite 3 years of some of the toughest corona virus restrictions in the world, cases in china have hit record highs and reason days. protests have taken place in shanghai bay ging and the city where the pandemic 1st began in wool hon. they started in rome, chief, the capital of shing jang province. after a building caught fire and 10 people died. many se rescue efforts were delayed by lockdown restrictions. patrick falk has more from hong kong. this isn't just about the cove it cubs. it's also a people with that, with lots of people at these protests holding a blank piece of paper, a symbolic to signal that discontents over censorship. and in many cases,

people are challenging the leadership as well. that being reported people actually chanting at these protests saying that we don't want lifelong leaders. we don't want emperors, and none of this arguably would be happening if the protested did not feel they had strength in numbers. let's take a listen to of what some of the people are saying on the grant. don't cheer king turns will not ashura a few that is a heavy burden, but i didn't think this many people would come. i always thought that in china's count society, there aren't the conditions to organize something like this. because as everyone knows in the past few years, our freedom of speech to various ways we express ourselves are all being blogs. i didn't think that they would be a day when we can come together on the street to express out the minds. i mean, i think chinese people struggled to get feet and still has a long road to go. we don't have a set way to go. we need a more complete action plan, largely efficient to staying quiet on the matter right now. they've also been

urging reporters in foreign janice in particular to stay away from these protests. one of the things that authorities study want to avoid doing is pictures getting as they have been over social media, which might inspire a more people to get up on to the streets and to voice their anger at what's happening right now. meanwhile, the baby see says chinese police have arrested and assaulted. one of its journalists in shanghai at lawrence was covering the demonstrations for the british broadcaster when he was tackled and detained by police. b. b. c says he was released of the several hours. chinese officials told the network lawrence was arrested to protect him from the virus. beijing also says he failed to identify himself as a journalist. james crabtree is the executive director of the international institute for strategic studies, asia. he says, china's government is facing serious challenges. cove 19 is only adding to its troubles is extremely rare in china. this is one of the most challenging moments

for president vision being since taking office 2 terms ago, china is in a very difficult situation, its population is largely and vaccinated. it hasn't been willing to import effective vaccines, many of which are made by the west. and it's enduring a cobra spike, meaning that the lockdown measures its population have had to endure, are likely to get worse. and so the government is in a real fix on the one hand, they need to find a way of restoring public order. but there isn't an obvious way out of the cobit cul de sac in which they find themselves the challenges that you have. a pretty clear tension between not allowing it to spread on looking after the economy on the other hand. so trying to economy has slowed considerably. there are many factors that play into that, some of which had to do with a lot downs, but i don't think it's fundamentally about the state of the economy overall. it's

just the people are fed up with having their normal lives disrupted by the harsh coded policies and worried that there may be more of this to come because there's no obvious route out of the cupboard situation. care has resumed as strikes against kurdish fighters in northern syria and sunday jets bummed area is controlled by the y p g, a kurdish group link to the p k. k, which took care consider as a terror organization. the defense ministry says the ground offensive will be launched as soon as possible. anchor a blames the y p g for recent attacks in the stumble and gaussian tap accusations, the groups, the group denies. soon cassandra has more from kill us. neither took care syria border. everybody was expecting a ground operation last night and i, there are so many turkish media outlets. i positioned themselves in garza and there been killers. what, of course,
