is his control over the chinese communist party and china itself after this congress waste definitely more powerful than ever before. it's quite remarkable, especially when you look at the line up of the 7 member standing committee, it's full of ideological am. loyalists to works. seating thing full of yes men i would say and all the more that pragmatic voices, the economic reformers they are out. and i want to point to, especially one politician, namely leach young. he's now the future. a 2nd most powerful men in china. he was the mayor during the shanghai locked on this spring. i mean that was probably the biggest cove. it locked down in history and that produced a lot of human suffering. and now he is rewarded, so to speak, by becoming the 2nd most powerful man in the country. that tells you a lot in a m a think it gives an insight in how the system works. he was rewarded by and

being very loyal by following the order of beijing in implementing this lockdown. so am, yeah, it definitely shows her seizing pincus am totally in power right now in now fabi and g. now that she has this unprecedented control, as you've outlined, what do you think his plans are when it comes to some of the big issues on his place that like you as tensions and also a tie one where am china's diplomacy under seating thing has changed drastically he m m a made the country much more confident on the foreign policy stage em sometimes overly confident and his foreign policy also includes a very aggressive rhetoric. and you can see that clearly by looking at the, for example, social media presence of other chinese and ambassadors, especially in the west and m all those things of course, are not very helpful when it comes to improving. at ties with the u. s. also the

escalating the conflict with taiwan so i would expect that things might get more complicated, especially china's relationship to the west. now phoebe and a lot of people are talking about on the former lead a huge in tao. he was dramatically led out of the whole during this congress. of course, many people round the world are wondering why, what can you tell us yet there basically 3 theories and am the official one that was spread by a chinese state media, but noticeably only on the english language channels on a twitter platform. that what that is spent in china, they say that he is in bad health and that's why he had to be let out. but to be honest, it doesn't really explain why the, the way how he was let out was saw such a, a public humiliation. i mean, if you look at the images, it's really quite remarkable. and m, some analysts say that actually it was indeed a public humiliation. m name be in front of the foreign press who just entered the

great hall of the people in paging. and then of course there's also a 3rd, a theory saying that m, who jay towel was about to voice, some criticism he didn't want to em, except the a historic 3rd term of sheeting ping. but to be honest, we don't know, and probably we will never know the truth behind it because of the opaque system. but it was clearly a historic met metaphor. the images were remarkable. it gave you a sense of the old china at personified by huge and how leaving and making space for the new era under sheeting ping that was correspond in correspondence. fabi unclenched men in begging. fabian, thanks so much. was another news. now russia is sounding the alarm again to civilians living in the occupied region of hassan, ukrainian forces are advancing on the southern front to retake the territory. the kremlin has been pushing for a mass evacuation of residence to russia or other occupied areas,

but removing civilians from their homes to enemy held land is a war crime across ukraine. russia's attacks on infrastructure have caused blackouts and water shortages authorities say millions are without power and they're asking those who still have it to conserve as much as they can. aid workers . and nikolai of prepare food for the cities hungry power and gas outages have left many unable to cook. these meals are going to feed new mothers in the dark and hallways of michael lives. maternity hospital number 3 here didn't show any person is al thursday. without electricity, we can't cook with them, but we need to feed the maternity ward the mother's with newborns to pick up. hello . are you in your mom's? it is the ciocca. the donated lunches help a lot. they're saving us. it would have jake's is, per se, engineers,

d w's russia and eastern europe service roman. hi, there. russian attacks on ukraine's energy infrastructure. let's talk about that. a we seeing a kind of a new strategy here of russia turning away from attacking ukrainian troops, military targets, and instead heating ukraine's civilian home front. well, it's definitely a new approach and both things are happening. so the fighting on the front line along the front line continues as russia is waiting for those hundreds of thousands of men mobilized in the recent fix to get prepared to start in your assault, we don't know how long it will take, probably a few weeks and then russia would start again and major offensive, and you do not know when and we do not know where, but it is preparing. at the same time, russia have just covered that, the grain in power and just infrastructure can be relatively easily with drones. and we have seen made some major attacks nearly every day and they take on saturday

was very devastating to the grand and power grid leaving more than a 1000000 people with our tricity. and as we've just heard in the report, and if russia continues on this bos, boston, then the ukranian power grid will be on the verge of collapse. and just in the coming days, probably which is very dangerous and which puts ukrainian government under pressure . and one more thing by attacking ukrainian civilian infrastructure, russia was trying to kick off a new wave of civilians leaving fleeing the country. so it's a new migration wave that could hit europe could hit poland and germany as well because most of ukrainian civilians are fleeing to these 2 countries. bremen, russian occupation authorities are saying that civilians mosley has gone immediately. that could indicate a withdrawal is imminent. what are you hearing?

well, it is still unclear. watch, roger is up to. yes, ross is trying to bring civilians out of the city of her song. but on the other hand of military men, russian soldiers are pouring into the city. and they are preparing to, they're preparing to defend the city. so it is still possible that the russians will hold it because it is very important for sure. it is important as a symbol. it's a very big city, and it is important as a place where russia could move forward towards the city like michel, i have an address in the west and try to cut your brain from from the black sea. ok . that was raymond, going to ranko from d w's russia and eastern europe service raymond, we appreciate that. thanks so much. ok, let's go to iran now where security forces have made dozens more wrists as anti government demonstrate as a demonstrations into their 6th week rights. campaigners say the protest as
