times because of china strict 0 code policy, german chancellor, olive sholtes had to get tested before leaving the plane. covey protocols also set the tone at his meeting with chinese leaders. she no handshake, no welcoming texture. during the talks, both leaders had far apart from each other, symbolic not to the divergence of their political positions. all of shall said, he wanted to discuss strengthening economic ties, but also address differences. see, however, propose 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, shall move president jesus. 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. hope that this crisis can be ended as soon as possible. the situation can be east and it really can not be escalated. and our starting point is to promote peace talks. she'll shoot some time as human rights record was on the agenda. in as far as all of shulte said that he addressed the situation of the suppressed weaker minority russian president vladimir putin has urged civilians to leave the city of hershawn as ukrainian troops advance in the area. the statement is the latest signal that russia is military may be planning to withdraw from the occupied ukrainian city. it may not look like it, but this river could soon beyond the front line. here russian soldiers are assisting residence from the occupied ukrainian city of her san 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. but i think potentially, the russian army is ready for another act of good will regarding the left bank of a depraved just in the area of a 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 fill it with her for those living in her son should 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 larvae, liberating her san city would be a major victory for keith. these ukranian soldiers digging in for the winter, and near by 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. for more let's bring in d w's, russia. analysts, konstantin egg. konstantin are the ukrainian military says what the russian forces

are doing is feigning withdrawal in order to launch an ambush. your thoughts? well, you have to be on the ground, michael, to assess it. ah, but i think it's possible, but then the same time, i suppose that it may be a situation which ah, are the very bad situation for the russian forces is being a sort of blustered. all of our own are all camouflaged by humanitarian concerns. it is also clear that of the russian army probably will not leave the area without some kind of fight boot up. so i think to avoid a civilian casualties among the or population of occupied territories, which is not proclaimed by the or by, by the, by the put the regime or to be the russian territory. they are pulling people out also. i think michael, there is another consideration, de,

populating ukrainian territories, essentially a moving ukranian citizens out of these areas is a kind of soft population prosper, which is insert in insert don't either walk, right. what would it mean for the kremlin if russian forces were in fact forced to retreat from her son, it will be a defeat, which will be discussed and which will be noted by both the generals and the the, the graham and the leads or the ruling class. whatever you care to call it, ah, at the same time, it will not be a catastrophe for all 4. let emer bruten. i think the only real catastrophe that he will not survive will be the loss of the graham in peninsula. and that is a pretty much far off of the if he, if it will ever happen, of course. but this will be very significant blow because here, song is actually the only major city that or the russian army managed to capture.

since launching is all out invasion to be $24.00, the february. so yes, it is a significant and what's important very visible, a very visible setback, which will be difficult to kind of a cluster over even by massive gramlin propaganda that's being ah, loaded on the minds of law of the russian population. and the story continues, as always, a constantine, a god, many fact. thank you. some more of today's top stories, protestors and riot police class in the northern iranian city of rosh. amateur footage shows crowds charging the police, forcing them to retreat and regroup. nationwide anti government demonstrations erupted in iran after the death of a young woman in police custody 7 weeks ago. the us and its allies on
