e. u and other organizations for an international monitoring mission to car kafka hydro electric power station, international experts should arrive at the station immediately along with ukrainian personnel to my newsletter specialist on the green, kim personnel, military analysts fear that the russian army will blow up the dam to destroy his son and cover their retreat from the area and that removal of civilians from cast on to russia and other russian controlled areas of ukraine is only fueling those fears. the chinese communist party has wrapped up it's week long congress by endorsing president ching pings position. he's poised to clench a 3rd term as party chief, making him china is most powerful leader since mel st tongue. for more, i'm now joined by dw china analysts. clifford kuhn in right here in the studio. clifford the 2300 delegates, a congress today voted unanimously to endorse. she's core leadership position. so

what happens now? well, now am she will be there for another 5 years. we know that we knew a lot of this going in advance. what am a lot of this is already decided in advance. what we learned from the congress's is how things are going to unfold. so the next stage will be the announcement of the an, the formula announcement when they walk out on to the stage. it's all theater. a lot of this, i mean it's really because there's no real insight at the black box in terms of how decisions are made there. we don't know. so we have to kind of abdul a lot of interpretation, but what it does is it unfolds the next certainly the next 5 years and who lot, who knows how long it will continue. of she, jim, things rule of china as you well know, the former chinese president who can tell was seen being led out of the closing ceremonies today, rather unexpectedly. what do you make of this? this was extraordinary. i mean this was, am i he does, he doesn't look well, i mean to begin with he looks ab,

there's been talk that he may have dementia and he certainly looks confused by what happens. but he is literally taken out and he cared. he doesn't want to go and the people sitting beside him, lee john, true, for example, mops is brow. and again, this is theater element. you know why we, you don't want to over interpret what's happening. but the same time, given that had happened just after the journalists arrived and very, very little happens by chance in these, in these circumstances. so am i think what this is, is a very clear signal in many ways from, as she, jim ping that this is the she era. now he's, he's popular that populated everything which she man and they are all man, even though at 30 percent of the commies party or women, it's still very much the standing committee on the, at the, the central committee, the 2 main decision making bodies are pretty much all man and, and, and it's a very, very powerful symbol. i think that the huge and how here i mean this is a man who run the country for 10 years and he's taken out with very little ceremony

. and on the way out he touched the coach, young, the former prime minister on the show to this was also a big moment. so in terms of political symbolism, it was a huge moment. extraordinary. how did she manage to solidify his control over china's communist party during this event? well, i think it come as parties very much add decided by factions and how the factions interact with each other. and the people like at e coach young, the former premier, who now will not be there again. and others like one young. they belong to different factions. and this is a sign now that those factions are out. so during the course of this congress, he basically solidified this team that i was mentioning earlier. and that's, i suppose, been the big achievement of the congress. beyond that, that was very little that we weren't expecting perhaps. and although did, did ex penetration and finish duration of who gentile was a total surprise, but beyond that, a lot of booze as predicted. but i still think it's,

it's an incredible sign of, of how he is pushing his political power. and in some ways, this is where it gets interesting because now that he controls the whole ruling party of the committee, that those at the ruling at central committee and standing committee now becomes an issue about those factions. where that what do they do now on, is there going to be a struggle for power now that they've been ruled out of the, of the inner circle? so i think it's going to be china's not going to get any less interesting in the next. the next decade, his daughter, his eyes in cross his tease of his control. clifford coon and many, many thanks for that. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world at this hour. italy has sworn in its 1st for right leader since world war 2, ga maloney is also the country's 1st female prime minister. her brothers of italy party has formed a governing coalition with the conservative foot cl natalia, and the right wing leave. the committee investigating the january 6 attack on the u
