a week long communist party congress where the parties constitution was amended to enshrine. she's position is also made sweeping reforms to the parties, leadership and promoted several close allies. she is now expected to be handed a 3rd term as president in march, and some expect he may try to try to stay in power for life. she was appointed party leader in a closed door meeting and announced his re election to the media gallagher. woman talk just low, the 20th the chinese communist party committee held its 1st plenary session and elected the new central leadership. here i was re elected as the general secretary of the chinese communist party central committee. john wound wound. well, earlier i spoke with correspondent fabi unclenched men in badging, and i asked him how complete jean pings control over the communist party in china is now that he has secured this historic 3rd term 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 and 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 man 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 there 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 made the country much more confident on the foreign policy stage and 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 a taste with the u. s. or 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 fabi on a lot of people are talking about on the foreman leader who's 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 chinese state media, but noticeably only on the english language channels on a twitter platform that what that is bent he and 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 led out was sort satcher, 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 and name be in front of the foreign press who just entered the great hall of the people engaging. and then of course, there's also a 3rd,

a theory saying that em hodgin towel was about to voice some criticism. he didn't want to em accept the historic 3rd term of seating 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 shooting ping that was corresponding correspondent fabi unclenched met in begging. fabian, thanks so much. in other 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 residents, true russia, or other occupied areas, but removing civilians from their homes to enemy held land is a war crime. meantime, across ukraine,

days or even weeks before power and heat are restored in the capital in the unlit city. some businesses refuse to let circumstances shut them down. this restaurant, staying open by candlelight and adjustment that dinars are trying to embrace as a sign of resilience. i said, as a matter of fact, it toughened this up even more. there's been a power cut, but it helps our ukraine to say power. and apart from that, you can feel the mood, but it's very romantic with a good m a think what phil walker on the front line say again, for from thoughts of romantic dinners, ukraine's defenders are trying to remain up beat despite the constant shelling from russian lines commander yuri compares the destruction to a famous siege from world war 2 like a stalingrad because lee l may be in 90 percent of build in south demolition.

ukraine's civilian infrastructure mocked a change in strategy for russia. 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 men mobilized in the recent fix to get prepared start in your assault, we don't know how long it will take, probably a few weeks. and then russia could start again, major offensive, and you do not know when and we do not know where, but it is preparing. at the same time, russia just did the grain in power. and just infrastructure can be relatively easily heat with drones. and we have seen made some major attacks nearly every day and they take on saturday was very devastating to the ukraine and power grid leaving more than a 1000000 people with our tricity. and as we've just caught 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 your grand civilian infrastructure, russia is trying to kick off a new wave of civilians leaving fleeing the country. so it's a new migration wave that could hit europe that could kill poland and germany as well because most of ukrainian civilians are fleeing to these 2 countries. that was rome and gone to ranko from dw russia and eastern europe service. let's get a round up of some other world news headlines now. thousands of people have taken to the streets of columbia capital book a time to protest the government proposed tax reform. the draft would raise taxes on the upper classes to pay for social programs. prison, gustovo petro leftist government has promised to increase spending for education,
