china, strict sera code policy, german chancellor, olive sholtes had to get tested before leaving the plane cove. it protocols also set the tone at his meeting with chinese leaders. she no handshake, no welcoming gesture. during their talks, both leaders had far apart from each other. symbolic not to the divergence of the political positions of shoals said he wanted to discuss strengthening economic ties, but also address differences. c, however, proposed skipping over the differences, urging for what he called a more pragmatic course. after meeting with china's premier lee kit young, all of shall said, shabby president to use us, i told presidency that it is important for china to use its influence on russia. it's about being in line with the principles of the united nations charter, which we have all agreed upon. china so far hasn't distance itself from russia and even benefits from the western sanctions on moscow. lee, however, took on the role of peacemaker from those sheila, the 2 sides hoped that this crisis can be ended as soon as possible. the situation

can be east and it really can not be escalated. our starting point is to promote peace talk. so she, oh, sure. so china's human rights record was on the agenda in as far as all of schulte said that he addressed the situation of the suppressed weaker minority. she 7 foreign ministers have pledged to keep supporting ukraine through the coming winter and talks and germany speaking at the conclusion of the meeting, edmond said german foreign minister and elena burbock also criticized iran's cracked down on protests and urged action on the climate crisis. and russia invasion of ukraine remain top of the agenda. it's, he didn't talk to you. we're catching every day of this brutal war of aggression that russia is waging. again, sue crane is, i know every single day is one day to many sock, every single day means a brutal, a talk on innocent people in ukraine. in there, i don't mean suffering dead lights on destruction would on such do in while russian

president vladimir putin has urged civilians to leave the city of her son in the face of ukrainian advances. the statement is the latest indication that the russian military may be planning to withdraw from the occupy ukrainian city. moscow has been ferrying people out of the area on the western side of the denise pro river, also known as the right bank for days. now. it may not look like it, but this river could soon be on the front line. here. russian soldiers are assisting residents from the occupied ukrainian city of her son. crossing from the right bank of the denise pro, to the left. according to troops here, around 1200 vehicles and 5000 civilians are being transported every day. and its suggested that they may be about to do the same a signal, perhaps that moscow is ready to give up ground in this war was his

law. it was what i think, potentially, the russian army is ready for another act of goodwill. regarding the left bank of denise prego, just inferior of the city of hassan. but for this, they will still have to take losses due to the response of our armed forces in moscow, no official word yet on the withdrawal of troops to the left bank. instead, president putin seemed to be enjoying festivities to mark russia's unity day, a national holiday to celebrate a popular uprising against polish and lithuanian forces in $1612.00. this year the focus was also on the annexation of ukrainian territories. with some young volunteers, given an audience with mister putin, where he explains why people are being told to leave her son ah, to finish with her for those living in her son,

she be removed from his own with the most dangerous military actions are taking place. for civilian population should not suffer from shelling from the offensive counter offensives or any of the actions connected to be ongoing military operations. director im loves liberating her. san city would be a major victory for keith. these ukrainian soldiers digging in for the winter and nearby mc alive know they may be told to head that way soon. but there's a feeling here that any offensive will be complicated, and they will need more supplies and weapons if any assault is to succeed. get you up to speed now on some more of today's top stories. germany wants to strength and security around its defense ministry offices, according to media reports, quinn's ministry, and one has been assigned to have reportedly been experiencing frequent overhead drone flights. most recently, a drone with a wingspan of some 8 meters was seen flying over the defense ministry offices in bon pakistan's. former prime minister m ron con, says he was aware of

a plot to kill him a day before the gun attack on his protest. march con is currently recovering in a hospital a day after being shot and wounded in the leg. the supporters say the attack was an attempted assassination and are protesting and cities around the country. and yet another climate change, protest, enrolling, ards, and food and tele and activists. through peace to over vincent fan gulf, the sower painting on display and rome, the gallery security intervened immediately and move the protesters. as in the case of previous such protests, the artwork was covered by glass and remains and damaged twitter employees are suing the company and a class action lawsuit over mass lee offs expected to be carried out on friday. the company recently acquired by the world's richest man, ellen musk told employees they would be notified about terminations via email.

twitter offices are closed for the day and badge acts as has been removed. while there has been no official announcement, specifying the number of lay offs you as media reports say, half of twitter is workforce is being let go. earlier i spoke to our corresponding curly, not sure, boy, who was following the story for us in washington. and i asked her how ellen musk is planning to keep twitter running without large parts of its staff. that is a very good question, a call especially since we know that mess it's looking to cut around 3700 twitter stuff. roughly half of the whole stuff of treat are you thinking of course, to slash costs, but this is not really a surprise since major advertisers have been threatening to completely withdraw from the platform. like, for example, folks wagner, who has recommended it's brands to, to pass paid advertising on trader until further notice, as well as general motors and also general mills. so mask will have to see what he

makes out of twitter with half of its half and less profits. we also know a bit more about the departments he has been cutting off the company. the company's communications team in india has been laid off as well. c as a team that was researching and pushing for algorithmic and transparency and building ethical tooling and methods. so this might give us a hint of how mask is planning to keep twitter running with half of his staff and probably less profits must have now been in charge a twitter for only a week. how have users been responding to take over so far? well, as so many things on social media, any call the reactions are quite opposite. on the one hand, we've seen the ones who are tearing him up and saying that finally there is going to be a freedom of speeds on trader and no more canceled messages. any more on that platform,

and then you also have the ones who are actually leaving the platform, any of them form or twitter employees who are joining alternative social media networks like a master done my plan to charge a dollars for the verification sign on twitter 3 are also a wave of negative reactions precisely among famous users. like for example, i'm author stephen king or singer, toni braxton, or also congresswoman a o c. so a quite a polarized set of reactions on twitter since then. so or me any clear about where musk wants to take twitter i'm not really must, has been talking now for months about the importance of treat her is crabbing it as the public town square of the world and saying he will restore freedom of speech. but the big question is, of course, and it remains. what does mr mask understand and are freedom of speech as far as reinstalling the bands accounts, which was one of the critics and main concerns of civil rights groups. here in the

us, most mosque has said that he is not going to reinstall suspend to pounds. like for example, the bank account, a former president, donald trump, because this is going to be a clear and a long process. so even if we don't know that many details about where mosque wants to take trade or at least we do know that for example, he is not planning to reinstall former president trump's account before the mid terms. currently the 2000000 washington, thanks for that. france is revolutionary, rallying cry, as lea realty a galle t cattle nitty has been an ideal for 2 centuries and is a source of national pride. paris has long been one of europe's most multicultural cities, but racism can still rear its ugly head at even the highest levels of our right french. m. p has been accused of shouting and offensive statement in parliament toward a black colleague and an incident that is shaken,
