and millions of households or without electricity and security forces make more arrest in iran has nationwide demonstrations enter a 6 week. meanwhile, tens of thousands march here in the german capital in solidarity with iranian women . ah, in a warm welcome to our viewers around the world on michael ok. china's president, changing 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 ruler since mouse a tongue. she's appointment came at the end of week long communist party congress where the parties constitution was amended to enshrine she's position. he has 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. let's bring in a journalist or fabian crash more in beijing. fabia now there, does she sham paying? has secured a historic 3rd term. how complete is his control now over china's communist party and china itself after this party congress i guess you could call has power absolute by now. i mean, just look at the 7 member standing committee that was announced today. the list is full of allies of him. and basically he appointed the people of his political network that he, you know, got to know during her last decade as a party secretary and several provinces. and they were not rewarded or you know, because of their qualifications, but rather because of their low yellow t at or seating ping, it's a list full of yes men and m. he also, i mean, teaching ping broke with

a several norms decade ought norms are the most obvious is of course it am now he is serving a 3rd term in office, but also there was a golden rule basically saying that am, you know, the 1st rank of party congress, they should retire once they hit 69. but of course a seating thing did not care too much about that any more. he also appointed an people who are already older than that. and that gives you an idea that you know, he feared. so an hour, his grip on power, so firm that he doesn't really need to care about those old rules. so fabi, in the question all political observers were asking, today is, what is this mean for china's future? what am, let me point out a 2 aspects, for example, the economy and the most likely a future prime minister will be leach young. that's are the 2nd most powerful man in china right now. and what did he do? he served as the mayor in shanghai when the city impostor biggest cobra, locked on in history of the spring. and yet he did so by being very loyal. he

followed orders of paging, but he did a lot of damage. am to the most wealthy and most economic am powerful city of the country. so for example, if you're an, an international company here in china or i don't think that's very reassuring message that you know, a very dogmatic leader who are dealt such a blow to shanghai now becomes a most like then the next prime minister. another aspect is our gender equality. i mean it's not a surprise at the m a standing committee that there's no a fema party carter, but not even in the whole. pollitt bureau in the 25 member poly pro, there's not even one single fema politician. of course, the says long term effects on gender equality. there's not really a role model for young chinese women to look up to am. so just to give you a tour or like 2 ideas, how are the am that yeah, how this announcement off the st. any committee will transform the country that is

nice to have you with us. this weekend. $80000.00 people have been out on the streets of berlin, do demonstrations, outsider on make a difference for the people in the country. in my view, definitely, and i think in your report, you kind of assigned to those things to you. radians talked about it at wonder bill they were in, in this law mich republic government tried for 40 day 40 is to say that it is, you know, unity outside the run. there is no real opposition. there is no alternative for us . so if we go, it would be, it would become like iraq or unstable, like syria. so you have to deal with us, you have to try and before the dean and say with us, this demonstration shows that there is that unity outside iran. maybe for the 1st time in years. but it's, it's a massive unity that people would drive and take trains, 4 hours to get to berlin from across europe to show their solidarity with

a radiance inside and ask the governments of europe full to for, for a thing that is another level, something that they bring in demonstration demonstrators inside iran are asking for it that then legitimacy of this government is not accepted by the people inside the run. and it shouldn't be accepted by foreign governments. we know, like in, in years before, i'll be quick about this that, that the governments have been dealing with a day rain in government in a way that saying like, we got to give you some money. and you know, those money went to wine crackdown and several civilians, equipment and asked why they shouldn't do any deals with iran. yeah, you know, it bears repeating live rounds have been fired at protesters, reports of 200 killed. how his violence from authorities against protesters affected the spirit of the demonstration as far as you can see. right now that when we are talking a school teachers across the country are going on strike. they're going to school,

but they're not teaching at the classes. and this is the protest against a brutal killing of it at school. go inside a school in our to be last week. so there is a cracked out there is a brutal killing of people, as you mention what people feeling they have to act. there's the anger inside the country that is boiling and takes people to their streets. and in my view, it would continue for a while. at least i didn't expect it to continue for 6 weeks, but they're brave, they're still continuing it. but there is a need for another thing that hopefully will from outside would create and, and that's 3 at, that's a dream of how it would look like if this a government would go away and then what you will have in, instead of that will have to end it there, that is and again sure a k e. many, many tax let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world at this hour. a

ah, this week on world stories, fishermen protesting in india, a 13 year old artist paints for the homeless in france. we begin in ukraine, which has reclaimed more territory from russia after a counter offensive in the south at the cost of many deaths and injuries.

these positions are well fortified. ukrainian soldiers have withstood several months of shelling in these trenches. the lines haven't moved to most of that time . the recently thing started shifting up ahead. they've started to protect russian positions more aggressively by year proponents now in some directions, we have been able to move forward. even right now, an attack is going on. let us, we try to put them under constant pressuring. so it will go our way, though it is several of them don't because we do want to prove, let me show you where i guys live. the soldiers stay for several months. the army doesn't have enough personnel to retake them in and out. more often. this group is getting ready for the cold season. however, include fewer kelly. as you move forward in winter, we will have to heat all of the space it will be in his own by then. let's hope so

oh, this time none of the injuries seem to be severe in the flight. for the school yet woof. the counter attack is costing ukrainian blood. the paramedics say they've become busier recently. a bishop on nick a matter. the number of injured is high a during the attack because our guys move forward to the positions of the russian villains. and then it's easy for the russians to hit them because they know their positions well and can show them in a book into some it was it's in echo right. the paramedics returned to their waiting position. they don't know when the next trip to the hospital will be, they know it will come ah, in russia, more and more young men are being drafted for proteins, war to compensate for heavy casualties. but these recruits lack almost everything.

and thus they don't understand that when the government is using them as cannon fodder looked at it, it was shamay. ha! it's been 3 weeks since russian president putin announced a partial mobilization since then. hundreds of thousands more russian families have been drawn into the war. in corolla india, a controversial port project is expected to boost the economy. but fishermen fear that this could threaten their fishing grounds and hopes for weeks, hundreds of fishermen have gathered to protest at the sight they have been protesting, day and night in front of the vincent young dani port being built by india's richest men, gout, tom, a dod among them, jackson to buck iran, a local fishermen who comes here every day with his family. i
