ah, hearing their dreams, ah metty to me this week on d. w. ah, ah, this is the w news live from berlin, uncontested and unopposed. changing ping is reconfirmed for a 3rd term as the head of china's communist party, surrounded by his most loyal allies, he will remain. the general secretary of china is only political party cementing his place. as the country's most powerful leader indicates,

security forces make more arrests in iran as nationwide demonstrations and you're a 6 week. meanwhile, tens of thousands march here in the german capital in solidarity with iranian women . get out immediately. that's the message from russia to civilians. in the occupied her sown region as ukraine's counter offensive gathered momentum. ah, a michael oak who it's good to have you with us. china's president, she ging, paying your, 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 mel say tongue. she's appointment came at the end of a week long communist party congress where the party's 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. earlier i spoke to a correspondent fabian crash more in beijing and asked him how complete she's doing things control over china's communist party years. now that he has secured his historic 3rd term, 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 his last decade as a party secretary in 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 thing. it's a list full of yes men and m he also, i mean, teaching ping broke was a several norms. decade ot norms are the most obvious is of course it,

and 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 ping 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 far, been 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 colbert, 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. in other 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 bro, 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 are like 2 ideas. how are the am that? yeah. how this announcement off the standing committee will transform the country. that is a correspondent fabian crush me in beijing. many fact to

iran now where security forces have made dozens more rash as anti government demonstrations. enter a 6 week rights campaigners shay. the protesters are putting their lives at risk. the death of a young woman held by the show called morality. police shut off the 1st unrest growing into a nationwide protest movement. a brutal crack down by the iranian authorities has not stopped hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets. once again, iran's young women took the lead, removing their head scarves, chanting anti government slogans. and facing off against the security forces a seeks the wake of nationwide protest, sparked by the death in custody of gena masa armine. the protests began with demonstrations against the mandatory he job. but they've grown into the greatest challenge to the islamic republic since the 2009 great movement over disputed

elections. shopkeepers, students, and factory workers, a showing their support for the nation wide. protests. security forces have responded with violence, firing live rounds, and dispersing gatherings with t gas rights campaign is say more than 200 people have been killed. public anger about amin is death has gone global from tokyo to berlin. in the german capital, 80000 people joined a rally and solidarity marches, led by a women's group made their way through the city. in the autumn sun, i'm hoping the leaders up the free board to hear the voice of unity in people. they ask for their ambassador to leave that. 7 man, not to negotiate with that. can we not government? and to have people to be able to be able to choose the kind of neighbors and governments on life. they've gone to me. i'm amazed. it's the 1st

time that our nation's at so many people in our nations are, ah, united, a regardless of their political beliefs before evolution and after a widow sam as yeah. so i'm really proud to be here waving flags and holding signs criticizing iran's clerical rule is they chanted women life freedom. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world at this hour. a palestinian militant groups as israel has killed one of its leaders in the west bank. the den of lions is a newly formed coalition that has been linked to several attempts on his really truth. tension has been growing between israel and groups in the west bank since an uptick in israeli military rate. strong winds have spread a wild fire on the slopes of mount kilimanjaro,

tanzania has mobilize hundreds of fire fighters to tackle the blaze. that's burning about 4000 meters of africa's highest peak. thousands of people have taken to the streets of the columbia's capital will guitar to protest the government's proposed tax reforms. the draft would raise taxes on the upper classes to pay for social progress. president gustavo petros left his government as form is to increase spending by for education, health, and agriculture. hurricane rosalyn is heading for mexico's pacific coast. the category 3 storm is forecast hit several resort towns. later on sunday. authorities have evacuated hundreds of people in the hurricane path and warned a flash flooding. and landslide. once again, russia is sounding the alarm to civilians living in the occupied region of her son,

ukrainian forces, or advancing on the southern front to retake the territory. the kremlin has been pushing civilians to leave the parts of her son eat controls, evacuating them to russia or other occupied areas, but removing civilians from their homes to any be held land ease, in fact, the war, cry. dumb attila sagamore. so is a senior lecturer at the department of war studies at kings college london, and she joins me now. thanks for joining us. i want to start by asking what you think is behind the pro russian authorities decision to remove residents from her son or they preparing for a military withdrawal or, or russian forces, positioning themselves essentially to resist the ukrainian advance. i think that it looks very much like a retreat. ah, they are trying to save the forces that are based in shared song,

which was stuck between the advancing ukraine. an army on the rivers. they couldn't gross that nearby river. so they are probably thinking that he makes more sense to save some of the valuable troops of them or profession on fulls. is that what acknowledging that area further to the south on the southeast to protect these full says, but there is, of course, a big question mark as to whether russia intended to sort of make some explosions in the dom in the a nova gulf gra, on, in some way sort of flood the region on that was the intention though, so made sense to ask for civilians to leave on for the military to leave. so i think that we cannot exclude that these 2 elements come hand in hand. that there was a plan which was in a way, uncovered by a western intelligence. i'm the ukraine and intelligence off soto. you know that in some way i am making an explosion exploding more attacking or in some way going up

the don. when that would have not created, i make your protest or if he, and that's why, maybe that was the reason why they were asking also, people's evey insta, me tell us. what do you believe is to real intention of rushes targeting of civilian infrastructure? and can that plan of action succeed when russia has a city, i mean, city in my view, 3 objectives in mind when it's trying to heat at a day. so sort of infrastructure which is very important for they say strengths of that you bring an economy on, on lives of individuals. so it is trying to really denigrate the ability of ukraine to function as an effective staging to donate in a sort of completely dysfunctional economy. when people cannot go about their daily lives, adding tension in that respect is n so that they get the people on the government fees on the pressure wind into some kind of negotiations with russia. and of course also today billy take that military ability of ukrainians to advance because if you

break up a many of the infrastructure sort of or nodes, it's makes it hard to follow the ukrainians to carry out their operation to have the right logistic support to move the full says, so i think it has as a series of objectives to really stop that ukraine and advanced militarily, but also to sort of denigrate, give the lead of ukraine to function as an effective state. and again, within this context in the theater that we're now seeing at being employed, can it be successful in all likelihood? well, i mean, we have to see, we have to see how strong it is they. you bring a resilience to what extent to and this is a very important point. you know, western countries such as germany and also the united states can provide with anti fancy stems on time to sort of stop these in these incoming me size. i think that technologies they're on though they're weaponry. once it arrives it can function

effectively. but the problem is that a lot of these ad defense system has not been fully delivered yet. and so when they put into some place, i think ukrainians can be no very strong position, much better than they are now due to address these incoming a sort of attacks. i think that it faces not occurring. you know, the pressures on there you rang and government might increase, but we have seen that you bring as a very strong resilience and i think that they have, i really, i understood that what are the challenges of allowing russia to ocoee by some of the steri trees because of the atrocities that up during. so i think that they know that do they don't really have much of a choice. i know we depend on our belief and you also to hedge ukrainians. that's why i think it is very important to provide them not with a necessary air defense systems. it's sort of imperative now. we'll have to end it there. that is a domain to los submarine also many, many thanks for your time. and most importantly, your perspective. thank in formula one

at saturdays qualifying for the united states. grand prix. the racing community were mourning the loss of red bull racing owner, dietrich motto, shits, who had died at the age of 78 on the track collar. sons took whole position in windy conditions ahead of ferrari teammate shawl clair followed by red bulls do oh macs for stopping and serial parents. but both claire and perez were handed rid penalties. so lewis hamilton will start in 3rd place in sunday's race in austin. hundreds were early to rise in western japan to catch a rare sighting of a diamond sunrise. the spectacle happens when the sun rises slowly behind mount day sand, making the sun look like a sparkling gem. the stunning morning ascent can typically be viewed on in october in february. many japanese believed wishes will come true if they are made on the rays of the diamond sunrise with

wish you were here. our digital program shift is up next on d. w can always get more d, dove on d, w dot com on d w's news f, which you can download from the apple app store or google play. and of course we're in social media. please do follow us at the w news. i'm mike. look, i'll be back with more news at the top the next hour. thanks so much. ah, i have been set done. i have been better because we tried to to show 3 of face mafia all over the world. environmentalists are in danger. the enemy, ruthless corporations, corrupt government agencies,

and criminal cartels. targeted environmentalists in danger starts october 29th on d. w. ah. and new height is taking the art world by storm. some individuals are now earning tens of millions for their digital works of art. or thanks to what's known as an f t 's, none fungible tokens. but what exactly are they? an f t, a digital ownership documents. it's kind of like a container for a value on of auction. in recent years and f t 's have become the new toys of mostly young art collectors. with bulging crypto wallets, we visited one of the world's biggest international art fast and spoke to some of the pioneers of n. if to yacht. i think that everyone in the art world is going to be accepting crypto currency very soon and others for the 1st time in history,

artists are actually making money in this real and natural world swimming in crypto cash. and if t artists are the new profiteers, obviously when you get something of this amount of value, far as challenging to the existing balance structures per person monies of representation of our prime levies and god who are then you will holes, then you buskie us will soon find out and committed a fairy tale weld to good to be true, a dangerous pyramid scheme, or a sign of change with an impact that goes beyond object. so if you ask me why and if t's are important right now, why and if the artisan point right now it is that genesis the beginning of a new civilization. ah, welcome to the weird and wonderful world of nf teeth, ah

once a year, the u. s. date of florida hosts a major international art fair, wealthy collectors from all over the world come to the miami beach, offshoot of a swiss art fare to buy works and check out the latest trends. sculptures and paintings take center stage of course, but this year there's something new vying for the visitors, attention, digital art sold with nf t's. the accompanying hype is generating plenty of interest and attracting a different kind of ground. yeah, it is for it, a beautiful with vote for me. i'm running her head of tears of here's i have this tattoo, and if t is am, it's a digital certificate of authenticity. sits on a smart contract which piggybacks on in a fury crypto currency. but m f t m is all these people here that are listening

that care. this is a piece i made called crypto artists union. imagine if andy warhol was alive today, he would have been the most proactive employer. this is a sculpture. a sculpture of andy warhol that originated through a computer file that i made an a video and an an animation, but it's also an object. so digital art has many different lives. it can exist as a painting that can exist as a sculpture. as a photograph is a hologram and of t's and digital technology is not tomorrow, it's here. it's here today. it's in the fair like, snuck into the basel are fair. you could almost see like a divide. you see the traditional, our world, and you see the digital world. it's a tool, it's enabled artist to sell their work by themselves without relying on external gatekeepers, which has never existed in history before. this is breaking down the hierarchies of

these galleries, creating opportunities for people, inspiring people, and telling people, instead of always saying you can come to this gallery, you can't buy something, looking people up and down, and pigeon holing people, and categorizing people. this is the opposite of that. the visitors still finding their way in the well, the digital art, an installation by the block chain software company tells us, allows visitors to make their own an f t, in a process called minting. they become part of an algorithmic image in a work by artist mario cleveland. the minted and f t is unsafe digitally in what's known as equipped to wallet to look like my mom, your. i was a look like this makes them the owner of the image. one, they are free to settle trade. i think this is just like my mom. oh my god. now and you have now meant it in and i've seen this, you're personally. yeah, you're gonna click on that. and it, i will load in about 5 minutes now cuz it matches by your personal and up to you

that you just create a new utilizing mario payments algorithm utilizing his digital artist once we all there. and why does it look like a small child, a history so? so essentially, when you stand there and scanned the q r code, ah, it's his digital arts, and here i specialize in ai. so he's created an algorithm that it will use elements of you and it will incorporate elements of you within the piece. so if you're smiling, if you're moving, so that's just what it elicited with the smaller ways that utilize all my points on your paper. how long are you there? i don't know that i'm michael backed up 70 hours. further along we meet dutch artist ralph now to from studio drift. his 1st n f. t was sold even before the art fair opened and has already been taken down. i don't think many people can say that he still trying to get his head around what's happened as an a lie shower, flawlessly, rabun that's we just sold our work. our 1st and f t was a, is

a collaboration between don diablo and drift. so we're thrilled into garcia blaming the exit, who bought the work. yes, this is arm lar and our collector who knows don and has bought his work before. and after that he hadn't seen the work beforehand. i don't, that's very typical for an f t's. he bought it for his collection score for sampling easyvista, and if to year you can see the mended and f t will stab estelle. so cal marked i, our solar system made of blocks of her complex. he died from when we reduced the complexity of our solar system to a human scale that we can understand and is, are we not as if it refers to the way people construct systems to understand and classify everything vibrant, diblasio it is. well, this is the mended artwork, the co, but the buyer also gets a physical piece. and the fades in the face called a fidget till the sheet adds a physical cube that emanates light eggs,

or it's placed in an augmented reality with a digital solar system of block forms revolving around it in block for how much does it go so that he'll kill them over the place display it's so weird to talk about prices as an artist. immunity is, but in the n f t community, it's normal, is i o. everyone's very open about it. from my mind that never happened in the circles. i used to move in whether it was sold for $550000.00 or anything over $500000.00 goes directly to an organization in africa that aims to plant trees across the continent. the. this were a pace for 360 hector in africa method here. now why was that important t? i have dish and f t harm the environment and it is thank again it's important to send a message to can folks we can do something and return with the money we earn. shane miller can reach took don't react when you get a the new phase of dollars or the lars. a co i prefer getting the ether ether. oh

yeah definitely. of course taylor i once on that that's the whole point will didn't . deacon, this is a disruptive, new technology breaks away from the old financial system shayla. she stain door, blake, so it offers opportunities for restructuring, thank a to in, on being at the hash. i want to be part of that olivia jose dollars. that's the old world phone style of rails. mm. mm. senate dutchman don't. i don't know is one of the highest paid and it's t artists on the candidate venue her. i'm currently finishing a new and f t for the new entity. i'm writing music for it together with drift. it's an audio visual artwork image and sound a field excellent. on the break right now, i'm fine tuning the final details and sound effects. in the end, we'll have one not work about 2 minutes long, and u. n. s. t it with on the new entity. ah,

it like in now create anything i want visually as well as physically and audio wise also, i can build a whole new world on the corner and then i'll figure out how to present it visually on it. it's only a few, so it's not just a loop on a phone, but something you really feel though, if this is what you thought it comes to the i can sell and, and if he digitally, it has great migrated look good. but i also want to see it and feel it now sheet. so would have my cell a digital i work as an f t on the block chain, and then i put it on a cartridge that you can hold in your hands, go fast, our. it feels like an old school game. our game, just my that's old school gaming. cool. you plugged it into a drive here on the side i called and on before hers her what i'd like and then your digital file begins to show itself in the

physical world for chic, available. that's my 1st work that the one that gave me my breakthrough may have been doth walker, but it is and it's an infinity loop that goes on forever over the rest of your life is open black. that's an important aspect of nf t's that with the perfect loop. so you can't see where it begins to rise to for hug like i wanted my art to make a statement about the transient and disposable side of culture or especially music and images. oh, that was the focus of my 2nd dentist. he all vill lack of fog within the state of it. on the bottom votes, measure people watch things and listen to music for a few euros a month for streaming, watching, downloading, hottest to the value of creating this kind of gone this to via phone with care of when it's activated. and for my receipts for, i'm always performing somewhere and they give the live stream away for free apps, verify the whole world watches what i do with that pain. i will stop doing what if

i turn it around, i making a one hour film that contains every creative idea. i want to share by all what would be the value of a film like that? try to little divide it up with the moment that once you've established that value, people start thinking differently about over the dignity of they have a greater appreciation of the work that i've otherwise always given a while. for 3, i satisfied with the moment bidick the highest, i'm currently the highest averaging artist in the n f t space to commit laced on the average price of my work. so host of an ogre consigned to vehicles. my 1st work sold for about a $120.00 theory, which was amazing. those hill mobiles. i went to my mom's for the auction logic now . mom would have, she wasn't really paying attention because she didn't really understand it at that

point for me. but i wanted to be in my mom's house because that's where i 1st started writing music. and i wanted to come full circle in chic marker and full of my own full circle. and when the auction missouri is that the price was a $120.00 ethan etha was abbreviated to a small aim and my mother spoke the legendary words. wow, 120 years later, she was so happy and so proud of me. you sold your 1st work for a 12120 euros a on the 10th. i said to her mom, mom anita is worth about $2500.00 at the moment in the home. he did the math in her head. a 120 times 2500 and quite a bit more than 120 years. and so to me it's not like being respected as an artist. as the 1st time. it was a really special moment to share with my mother momento of hartwell and then what i make is not just dispos my culture. it's odd,

difficult to this oak grants. ah, miami wants to become the crypto capital of the world. the mayor has asked to be paid in bitcoin, and he wants residents to be able to pay their local taxes with crypto currencies as well. a lot of the young crowd, the aunt fair acquired their wealth by playing the markets and bitcoin and other digital currencies. we speak to crypto investor an n f t artist christa kim. she calls herself a futurist but draws her inspiration from various genres of art history. i love rosco. he's incredible artist that really sort of broke convention. she was a rebel and he was able to completely redefine beauty, redefine the standards of what art is. it could be anything, it could be a feeling doesn't have to be something literary. it could be non conformist,

it could be more free. and then of course, this james carroll was like a rockstar to me, you know, using light light as a medium in itself. truly an inspiration for me. i used to paint i entered a master's, a fine art program and singapore. and it was then were i felt that it was redundant for me to pursue painting as a medium because i was so addicted to my phone. i thought, well, if i'm feeling it on an individual level, then that means billions of people around the world are also feeling it. and then i started thinking while i need to create art, that is.
