with her master's thesis on potato, raring to read a turn on. well, it gets more ridiculous from their literature list. truman street. ah ah. ah, this is dw news live from building uncontested and unopposed. sheeting ping is reconfirm for a 3rd term as the head of china's communist party, surrounded by his most loyal allies, he will remain the secretary general of china's only political party cementing his

place as the country's most powerful leader in decades. also coming up blackouts across ukraine as russia escalates of tax on energy infrastructure strikes, have no doubt, 40 percent of ukraine's power stations, and millions of households are in the dark and security forces make more arrests in iran as nationwide demonstrations inter a 6th week. meantime, tens of thousands march here in berlin, in solidarity with iranian women. ah, i'm jared ray, thanks so much for your company today. china's president, she's in ping, has been handed a 3rd term as leader of the chinese communist party. it's a historic moment that confirms him as the nation's most powerful rulers, since mild said dawn. she's appointment came at the end of the long communist party

congress with a party's constitution, was amended to enshrine chief position is also made sweeping reforms to the party's leadership and promoted several close allies. she is now expected to be handed a 3rd term as president in march. earlier i spoke to correspondent fabi, unclipped my in beijing, and i asked him how complete she has control over chinese communist party 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 am standing committee, it's full of ideological em. loyalists to work seating thing full of yes men i would say and all the more that pragmatic voices, the economic reformers they're 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 am being very loyal by following the order of beijing in implementing this locked on. so am yeah, it definitely shows her seizing pincus. i 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 all the 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 a chinese state media, but noticeably only on the english language channels on a twitter platform that was, 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 satcher or 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. a 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 hoge and towel was about to voice some criticism. he didn't want to em, except the historic 3rd term of shooting 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 historic matter for the images were remarkable. it gave you a sense of the old china personified by huge and towel leaving and making space for the new era under sheeting ping. that was correspond in correspondence, fabi and customer in beijing. fabian,

thanks so much in other news. now russia is sounding the alarm again. to civilians living in the occupied region of her son, ukrainian forces are advancing on the southern front to retake the territory. the kremlin has been pushing civilians to leave the parts, of course, on it controls, taking them to russia or other occupied areas, but removing civilians from their homes to enemy held land is a war crime elsewhere across ukraine. roches attacks on infrastructure have cause blackouts and water shortages authority say millions of people who 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 mc alive maternity. hospital number 3. you

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 the tech 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 ukrainian 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 hit poland and germany as well because most of ukrainian civilians are fleeing to these 2 countries. around
