a person like this is 10000000 people in the world. they may have no nationality of a total. they don't belong but everyone has the right. everyone has the right ah, this is dw news lie from berlin, hong kong ground job, more journalists in its crack, down of the free press. this latest re targets the offices of online outlet stand, news reporters are arrested in documents all the way. it's the latest blow against

independent media in the chinese territory. that's is china. she has grown a virus cases rise for the 4th day in a row. despite a huge lockdown. 13000000 people are confined to their homes in the country's biggest outbreak since russia's oldest human rights group vows to continue its work even after russia. supreme court ordered its liquidation memorial documents, the state sponsored crimes of russia soviet passed. ah, a michael ok, welcome to the program. hong kong police have rated the offices of the independent media outlets stand news, and arrested 6 journalists. they've been charged with conspiracy to publish seditious publications. according to the authorities,

more than $200.00 police officers entered the offices of stand news and took away large boxes of evidence. police also search the journalist homes, the chief editor of stand news, patrick lamb is among those in custody. earlier this year, police also rated the offices of the now defunct apple daily, another vocal critic of the hong kong and chinese leadership. stant news is the largest remaining news outlet seen as close to hong kong pro democracy movement. for more on this, let's bring in phoebe kong in hong kong. phoebe what more can you tell us about these detentions and the up to now we live the media and saw that at least 7 people happy, arrested, relating to this case. so are the things as the form and also the acting she's had to help.

ready but also access and also change as we're not sure about whether they will be officially we have to voice vision from the office, especially the department. and then we also rated the use of $200.00 offices and some of the documents. and also that she was phoebe. these are clearly not the 1st cases. what does this say about the current state of press freedom in hong kong? well, this is indeed another major law to especially the journalistic industry,

whole call, and also on the record on the news. and also the like a new home policy. because earlier this year for apple dated the former a charge for lucian, one national security. and just yesterday they were. ringback charged, same one, you say, so it's a chance or maybe just telling you the issue. publication was to target our application. yeah. and the general that clear out the definition of what is sufficient to do that is cb calling in hong kong, many thinks is always in staying in china. the country has recorded it's for its rise in new grown of irish cases in

a row. that's despite some 13000000 people already under locked down in the countries shuns she province. the spike, in cases there has produced china's highest infection rates since the pandemic. the very 1st outbreak and hot it's been almost 2 years since china has seen the streets of major cities deserted. but once again, millions a back on to lock down. all thirties widen the restrictions across. shun she province on tuesday. as they grapple with the country's biggest outbreak since the initial months of the pandemic, china has pursued a 0 tolerance approach, rolling out mass testing and draconian lock downs for relatively small outbreaks in shun she's capital city of c. on 13000000 residents are under strict stay at home orders. after reporting less than $200.00 daily infections. be to hear from you the

way you have. we have quickly adopted containment measures for these risk areas. the implementation of various measures will help to effectively control the outbreak. despite administering almost 3000000000 jobs, initial research shows the locally produced sign or evac of his limited protection against the army crohn variant. the beijing winter olympics, a set to start in just over a month with only spectators from mainland china permitted to attend with diplomatic boycotts already being announced, beijing will be eager to ensure that covered outbreaks don't for the chill the already frosty atmosphere. for more, let's bring in correspondence, fabi and crash more in beijing of fabi and the numbers are bear repeating 13000000 people in lockdown for less than 200 daily infections. how were chinese citizens coping with such a tough measures?

well, i mean, the general and the public are supporting those measures mostly. and the reason is that in most parts of china right now, you can live a relatively care free am normal life without restrictions. however, the people who are affected by the 0 covert strategy named be the citizens of c on who are really under strict locked down. they cannot even leave their house right now. they are relying on neighborhood committees to sent them or food and daily necessities. they are making a lot of sacrifices and if you scroll through em, social media for example, label which is the dominant m online platform. here, you can find the signs of discontent. for example, people complaining that they are running out of daily necessities and that there are no new supplies. however, most of the posts have since been deleted and it's not really easy to have an open and critical debate about the virus strategy because it is sensitive in china to criticize the government. no doubt, as we just heard in the report,

the chinese vaccine center that appears to offer limited protection against the american varian. i'm curious, is the country looking into other vaccines as an option for booster shot? i don't see that happening and the reasons why for example that by and take madonna, they have not been approved in china. that there was a purely political decision. am in the state media. he and also the government. they've praised their own domestic scenes as being superior, and now it would be a huge lot of loss of face if they would turn to a foreign and especially weston, with scenes. what they are betting on is that a sign awake sign of farm, their own m, fixing producers are developing a new generation of em are in a vaccines and then they get approved. but, and the bigger picture is the big question that people are wondering is, what is the long term goal? what is the exit strategy? i mean so far, and it's hard to imagine that china will open up its borders any time soon.

probably in one imagines china needs to show they've got the virus under control ahead with the olympics. just very, very briefly, if you can, what's at stake? what the national prestige last year they claimed the victory over the virus and am now the situation is quite different. and but the olympics themselves, they will be under restrict bubble and the games are not m e r at danger. and i think they will take place mostly without spectators, but m. yeah, there will be a very strict covert bubble during the games to seal off. um, yeah, the athletes and the journalists from the rest of the population that sotheby's crash mer in beijing. many things, fabia. now to some other developments in the global pandemic, a franchise announced her record number of new corona, virus infections, authorities, candid, almost 880000 new cases. in 24 hours, new cases are shoring in australia as well. health officials in new south wales

warned that the sudden outbreak is overwhelming testing centers, causing long queues and delays and receiving test results. the w h o has warned that the on the con variant still poses a very high risk and could overwhelm health systems. staffers of russia's oldest human rights group memorial have vowed to carry on after russia's supreme court ordered. the video is closure. on tuesday, the court agreed with the prosecution's argument that the organization had failed to identify itself as a foreign agent. ah, russia's oldest and most important human rights organization now disbanded, supporters defied a protest fan to gather in front of memorials headquarters. they said the decision was politically motivated. was that idea of critics of being eliminated? so is the opposition. any one who wants to lift the mask off russia and look critically at its history that is being eliminated obese. now,

your distorted memorial was classified as if foreign agent. that meant the organization had to comply with various requirements. the court founded in violation of those rules. the n g o is now banned and must stop its work in russia . for many memorial represents the historical conscience of the country. it aims to make sure that the reign of terror in the soviet union, under joseph stalin and the inhumanity of the gulag prison camp system are not forgotten. when earlier this month, russian president vladimir putin accused memorial love rehabilitating the reputations of nazi collaborators in world war 2 was in a moment of use of the organization denied all allegations and wants to appeal. it's representatives say they may take the case to the european court of human rights. as the year draws through closed d w news

a looks back at our notable reports of 2021. despite the global rush to reduce global warming by cutting carbon emissions, one huge emitter, the military is totally exempt from that effort. d w's, terry sholtes reports. there's a dirty little secret, almost every country's keeping, except it's not that little. in many cases, a nation's armed forces are its biggest single emitter of greenhouse gases. but how big is secret that's allowed under both the kyoto and parents climate agreements. both deals have exempted military forces based on the argument that adversaries could to do strategy using emissions data. but with climate catastrophes on the rise, environmental activist insist any credible carbon reduction plan must include these hidden figures, the size of the, the fuel use dependencies, huge and the got huge supply chain. so obviously it's going to make a big difference if they're involved or not. involved in these emission reduction

targets. i am lindsey cottrell is a researcher at the conflict and environment observatory, one of the groups that just created a website tracking what little has been voluntarily revealed about military emissions world wide. the united states with the world's highest military spending is shown as having very significant under reporting, but brown university's cos of war project using public data estimates the us armed forces emit more than many industrialized countries, including sweden or portugal. lindsay cantrell hopes the more the new website publishes, the more the public will push for action than they are can will be that that more needs to be done. and targets need to be set. the european union's net 0 plan does not even mention much less mitigate military emissions, but it nato no less than secretary general yen stilton berg is trying to green the alliance for nato's own sake, as well as the planets these days. many countries, militaries are increasingly forced to fight natural disasters. goldenberg is the

1st nieto chief to appear at a climate summit. he underscored that nato leaders agreed in june to the 1st step, involuntary reduction. so go up a mythology of framework and the greed mapping a structure to count to minute their missions. former estonian defense minister cli hooked at us is skeptical allied governments share stolen bergs enthusiasm. ly don't think it is possible, because then we should be sure that the adversary will do the same thing going on. that would not happen for sure. not a russian or no russian or china with a would figure conseula that there's a priority. nato's james a path or i disagrees and is helping craft a plan to present at the alliance is summit next year. green is going to be painted across this entire innovation ecosystem to see if we can help come up with technological solutions. yes, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also to help our forces operate in what will be a more difficult weather environment. he says there's growing interest,

even in china and russia, and how armed forces can battle climate change. as the world worries together over shared ecosystems, such as the arctic, the concerns of environmentalists and military strategist may finally be converging . but there's a long way to go and scientists warn the time we have to get there is already almost up. you watching d. w. news coming up next is your business news. a mike, look who in berlin from me in the news team here. thanks for watching. take care. we'll see you at the top of the next 3 slash her. i'm skin that i think that hard and in the end is a me, you are not
