challenge the fees in standing up to the autocracy which has to do with that country for more than 40 years. your browser ease of corresponding with the german blood cancer g d f into iran. he told me the protests are still going strong . well, let's say that over the last 2 or 3 weeks, we saw the numbers igniting, or slightly declining, but still we see protests in various cities and various regions in the country. and the students called for new protests today on saturday. so we might see more protests in the city as well. as i said, the numbers are declining, but what we see over the last couple of days is more actions are so called civil unrest, which means we do have cars, hooting in the streets massively. every night we hear that people gather in their windows of their apartment houses at 9 in the evening and start shouting slogans
5:05 pm
against the government. we have small groups of students and few fields, also gathering, singing piece songs and asking for the for the government to resign. what we see also in the streets is that more and more women every day walking the streets are sitting and can face without a job. and as we hear they, they don't think that the morality police were clamped down on them at the moment. so more civil unrest and clearly more defiant. how is the government reacting? as i just mentioned, it seems that he and tara and, and that's the city that i can actually talk about because we are restricted here to the capital that the morality police is not going after. women not wearing that job in cars and co phase in the streets. that's the one thing. the other thing is that they still put pressure on people as we could see it with an international or
5:06 pm
the reigning climb. and as a record b, who was put on the pressure in order to declare that when she competed in south korea without the head scarf, that was just a mistake. we hear that the family is under pressure. we hear that she is under house arrest and we hear from other regions in the country like in the south, the southeast, that the police is still making a lot of arrests. we even hear of casualties of dead in the region. so we see like on the one hand, isn't the situation maybe answer, i'm still going after protest as in other parts of the country. how are people continuing to organize despite internet blackout? i mean, the internet is essential for demonstrations to get organized to what we hear that smaller groups now concentrate on their low local communities by communicating through text messages on their phones. what we also saw over the last couple of
5:07 pm
days is that the price is for b, p n. candles are skyrocketing, it's a very rare commodity here on the market and it's essential for people to excess social platforms like instagram and facebook. during the day, the government allows the internet to work because it's causing a lot of damage also to the national economy. but in the evenings then they massively restrict internet. still your what's your chance? how important is international support to the protesters? i mean, of course it did give some moral support to the protesters there with a quite a way of what's happening in other parts of the world like these marches to day in berlin. so it supports them, it gives them some backing and they acknowledge it. but on the other hand, it also gives the government an opportunity to blame what's happening here in the country on the streets, on foreign organizations, foreign countries,

year. changes also beef up anti corruption pounds. at least 15 people were killed when a bus collided with a truck in central india police in madhya pradesh, state say dozens more, passengers were injured. most were laborers travelling to their homes. the chinese communist party has wrapped up. it's week long congress by rubber stamping president, choosing ping. he is poised. a clincher 3rd term as party chief, making him china's most powerful leader since marcy tom opening china's 20th communist party congress last weekend. president eden ping set out his vision to the country's future. and implied here to be the one at the helm to make it happen by you about from all comrades. by a new me, the party has made spectacular achievements through its great endeavors over the
5:10 pm
past century in the year. sure. and our new endeavors will surely lead to more spectacular achievements. but china's seemingly infallible leader had humble beginnings. she was born in beijing in 1953, the son of a high ranking party official. but in the 19th sixty's, his father fell foul of chairman mao and the communist leadership and was thrown into prison. the young she was sent to the countryside for political re education and hard labor for 7 years. but instead of turning against the communist party, he embraced it and worked hard to rise to the talk. in november 2012, the relatively unknown cheech and pang was named general secretary of the communist party. a few months later, he succeeded huge in town as president of the people's republic of china. and by
5:11 pm
the end of, she's 1st 5 year term, the communist party congress voted to have his philosophy written into the constitution. the only other leader to have the same honor is the father of chinese communism. mousy dang. since taking office, she has set about perceiving what he hailed as the chinese dream, to turn china into the world's dominant power. under she, china has become more assertive on the international stage, fueled by growing patriotism at home. much of it based around sheet and pings image as china's strong man. but she has also overseen increased limitations on freedoms, expanding online censorship, and cracking down on opposition, voices. and legal documents linked she directly to human rights abuses against the muslim minority weakest in 2018,

the to term limits on the presidency was removed effectively allowing she to remain in power for life. yes, for more i am joined by d. w. china analysts, clifford kuhn and clifford. the 2300 delegates at congress voted today unanimously to basically endorse, you know, she's leadership at the core of this party. what happens next? well, now we see the she, jim ping era really come into play. we've, he's at 10 years of a supposedly transition and in some ways, but now he's facing some real challenges. he's got some real head winds with the economy. chinese international position is under more scrutiny than it's ever been . so this, this congress, which is pure theater because we knew in advance pretty much what was going to happen is going to lay that the basis installing him at the core of the party as you say. and it'll put them in a position where you can now take the next step for the, for the comments. as you know, there's a little drama there today. i mean,
5:13 pm
the former chinese president in huge intel were seen being escorted out of the congress rather unexpectedly. what do we make of this? well, this is extraordinary. i mean, this is a leader who lead china for 10 years. he was suddenly just taken out clearly against his will. there's the suggestion that maybe he was on well, but given that nothing happens by chance in, at these events, you sort of wonder, you know, was this, it was a certain public humiliation is the question of whether it happened on purpose. we saw that he touched the coach young on the show to the former premier, the now add going premier some people have suggested that this is actually a faction fight playing. i was in front of the whole world that this is a real way of shipping showing that he's in charge now and that the old faction, which includes huge in town and also the coach, young who's leaving that they're no longer in the driving seat. now this is really the she jumping era and how did she solidify that leadership over the course of
5:14 pm
this event? well, basically what he did was he sort of entrenched and enshrined many of the things that he's already done. a lot of this is communist party marxist lennon, a rhetoric that's very hard to decode. ultimately it's about about the symbolism of the event i'm showing that he's in control, but also structurally he has imposed his faction. i was at this event 5 years ago when to formerly there john, i mean, looked at his watch 10 times during that as she jumping speech. there's no way that was going to happen this time around. this was all about. she's in ping showing that he was the person in command. and that ultimately from here on in this is the, you know, it's his man and they are all man, even though 30 percent to come is party as female. there's no women in any senior leaders ship positions. so what we're seeing now is the, she's paying era, weedy, going into overdrive and it becomes a question of how we deal with these challenges facing the party d, w,
