saying i'm making may to change with you reviewed this week on d. w. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, the sustainable news live from berlin, the united nations launches an investigation into iran, crack down on anti government. protests. demonstrations are now in their 3rd month and thousands are still turning out despite security forces,

using deadly violence against them. also on the show, russia stands accused of crimes against humanity. president zalinski urges the un to condemn what he calls moscow's energy terror. latest missile strikes, knockout heating, power and water supply. and then katara. christiana ronaldo becomes the 1st man to score at 5 worlds cops as his portugal side when a thrilling match against gone. ah . nicole freely for our viewers on p b. s in the united states and around the world. it's good to have you with us. the united nations is launching an investigation into iran's crackdown on anti government protest now, in their 3rd month, there was applause. as the human race council resolution passed with $25.00 votes

in favor, 16 countries abstained and fix, including china voted against protesters are still turning out in iran despite security forces using deadly violence. the unrest began after the death of a young woman arrested for allegedly non wearing her head scarf properly. a council estimates iran has detained 14000 people so far. germany's foreign minister adelina burbock was among those calling for an investigation. our political correspondent, i'm a sparrow told me it's a good result for her. it can indeed be seen as a win for her as a win for german foreign policy. and this is, by the way, how it's also being presented by a german authorities in the 1st reactions. after the decision concerning this resolution, the fact that germany any particular mrs. bab oak had pushed for this resolution, had pushed for this discussion of the human rights council. which, by the way,

it's the key inter governmental forum at the un in the un system dealing with human rights is certainly an important decision for german foreign policy. what's also particularly important is the fact that the resolution included this fact finding mission. it was not clear all along that this fact finding mission would actually be part of the resolution. in fact, china had presented a last minute appeal so that that could be maybe scrapped from the resolution that did not pass. so the resolution in the end also includes this very important fact finding mission. so all in all german authorities are certainly very pleased with today's result in geneva. how could this fact finding mission actually work without physical access to the country? it is essentially seen as a step towards accountability as it is seen as a compliment to the word to the work that is already being done, for example, by the un special rapport term for human rights in iran. so it is seen as

a step towards accountability but you point something in the right direction because this is certainly the biggest challenge. now, how to move forward from what was discussed in geneva from all these decisions from the resolution to actually action. especially if you consider that it's already being reported, that the radian government, degrading authorities are not particularly interested in having that fact finding mission in iran. so there's certainly a lot of questions as of how this could be implemented from the german perspective, from the perspective of the countries that took part in this resolution that voted in favor of it. it's a step towards more accountability in the situation in iraq. that was very clear, and that was our political correspondent, thomas barry. thank you so much. ukrainian authorities are struggling to restore power and water supplies after russian missile strengths hammered key infrastructure. once again, people have headed to so called invincibility centers and search of power, warmth and other essentials. rushes latest strikes have killed 10 people and force

all of ukraine's nuclear power plants offline for the 1st time in 40 years. the head of the nuclear energy company is warning that the attacks risk 8, quote. radioactive catastrophe. president zalinski is urging the un to take action, calling the strengths of a crime against humanity wisely. humans and du duluth. nick connelly told us how people in keep are coping after the latest attacks when you might just looking here at the scenic here, get a sense quite how cold it is. and behind me, you should be seeing care of at russia. but obviously because the electricity is out for most buildings here, you might just see a few lights in the fog. it really is quite a kind of starting seen. this is city of millions of people, but you wouldn't yet you would be able to tell looking across the roofs. key of right now situation has been somewhat stabilized. there isn't the current total collapse that many here feared yesterday evening. the national grid has been reconnected for a while there last night. there were basically several parallel grids across the country,

not really connected with each other. this country's nuclear power stations had to go into kind of security or switch off to prevent overloading the grid. and there was a real sense that kind of permanent damage could be done to the infrastructure that has seemingly been averted, lots of creative solutions. lots of means out there on social media, images of tramps being pulled by tractors instead of the normal tech because it just isn't any power. we don't have any timelines yet from the government as to when normal service is going to resume here in cave. at least there is water again . since a few hours, there is a sense that the heating is gonna come back on for lots people in high rise. apartment of there is no other option. they don't have the option to put a generator somewhere. they don't have the option of somehow getting a bonfire ready to heat some food. this is a desperate time for people here, but no real sense here of panic or of the kind of mood turning. and people were predicting this, they were seeing this are about to happen. i think the big thing is that now in the

last few days we've just had the temperatures really dropped the 1st time and went to hit us. and now people facing up to another 34 months. this is a look at some other stories making as around the world today. russia state atomic energy company is backing a plan protection zone around ukraine's upper region nuclear power plant. the proposal comes from the international atomic energy agency, russia and ukraine have lamed each other for shelling at the facility. hungary prime minister victor or bon says it's parliament will approve sweden's and finland's bid to join nato in february, hungary and turkey are the only aligns members yet to ratify the nordic countries, accession, sweden, and finland. and a decades of military non alignment. after russia invaded ukraine, in the lower house of russia's parliament has unanimously approved a law banning what it calls all forms of l. g. b t. propaganda. the bill could effectively block positive depiction of same sex relationships, effect x,

acted to be rubber stamped by the upper house and signed by president vladimir putin. china says new cove. 19 infections have reached a record. $31000.00 authorities have imposed locked downs and closures and almost all major cities, including the manufacturing hub of jung jo, home to a giant. i phone factory, frustration at restrictions, and unpaid wages has boiled over into violence. these are rare scenes of an open descend, protested clash with the police, clad in white hazmat suits. walker said fox cone, the wolf biggest i phone plant engine, ju, i angry over pay disputes and covered fatigue. the plant is under heavy covered restrictions. workers complain of poor living conditions. they say many of them had to share rooms with corporate patients, and they're not being paid what was promised to them. fox gone has apologized thing,

a technical error led to the p disputes. these protests are reacting as china is facing a record search in court cases and prompting authorities to expand loc downs across china. she's in the since november, more than one point. 2000000 cases of infection have been reported in the past week and average of 22200 cases were reported in every day, which was twice the number of the previous week been done. in beijing, government workers blocked the street to ensure people stay at home. residents are allowed to leave only to get groceries and 4 health emergencies. the discontent over these tough restrictions has been growing. herndon everything is halted. how many people have the savings to support them? if things stay closed, and even if you have the money to stay home every day, that's not a life either. in parts of jen june,

6 1000000 people have been told to stay home for 5 days and undergo mos testing. all the china recently relaxed. some of the tough covert rules, many of its citizens are asking if the remedy is more harmful than the illness. and i'm going now by the w reporter, clifford coon and who worked at the corresponded in china for many years. clifford protest and china are still very, very rare. what do you make of what we just saw? well, i think the pictures are startling. we seen a lot coming out of john jo, recently. i mean, last year in july, or you had climate change problems. we had flooding which led to deaths in the subway. there was this over 40 to know if you remember from the time. then in july, this year we had at the property crisis that was also playing at john joe, where people who went to the mortgage boy carson. they went into the city to protest. and now we have these protests at the fox corner. i phone city at fox con in, in john jo, so a lot is happening there. and john jo is right in the heart of china. it's the capital of honan province,

which is the cradle of chinese civilization. so i think none of this is a accidental because it's also seen as the bell, whether it was happening in china. and what we're seeing is, is growing waves of, of protest against very, very strict policies. it's quite likely that the protesters will be identified and punished in one way or another. why would they run the risk? yeah, it's interesting. i mean, in july this year when, when they came into protest and organize the mortgage, both boycott, everyone has their coven, rita on their phone and they went from red to green, after from green to red, which meant that they weren't allowed to travel. and then eventually they sort of, they went in very early in the morning and they managed to beat the change in their stages and they're able to get into the, to protest. so there is a lot of that to the growing protest against is very, very strict policy. now where i'm, i mean 0 coverage is here. given that we sort of feel like we're coming out. the

other side looks impossible. and the numbers look small, 31000 cases isn't, isn't large by, by the standards we've become used to. i think it's the prospect for things getting really bad because the health system would be overstretched, is what's causing a lot of the fear. yeah. but the chinese government doesn't seem likely to drop it's 0 code strategy anytime soon. challenge you think they can, they can pull this off. well, some people were saying today that they're expecting this to go on all the way through next year, which is very long. that would have huge arm of occasions for supply chains, because so much of what we consume in the west is made in china. but also whether it's sustainable, if we're seeing these kind of protested fox con fox con, is a very, you know, it's a very good employer. many ways it's a, although it's still very tough conditions. i mean, i visit one of the fucks. com plants before the, the dormitories where people live or these hot beds where you basically you get out of bed and someone else takes over your bed and you go to work. you know, so it's fairly tough conditions. but as the country gets wealthier,

people are less willing to put up with this kind of thing and add to put up with this sort of difficult policy. so when they see something like 0 cove it, which is making things even more restrictive, you see this push back and that's why we've had these remarkable pictures that we've been seeing of people throwing barricades that police. and she probably doesn't like the looks of this at all, but is this a threat to his grip on power? well, he's just come out of this party congress, which of which you secured a 3rd term, an unprecedented 3rd term, a supreme leader. so politically he's, he's in it, he's in a good place right now. he doesn't need to worry about about pushback domestically . however, you sort of wonder if things like the property crisis, climate change, and now 0 covey. it all of these things start to come together. he is going to see growing pressure coming even from within the party. it won't just be from, from without the party outside the party. so it's something that he's definitely gonna have to be keeping a very close eye on. and so when we clifford can, and thank you so much they identified fioma cron

very into as covert 19 and immediately raised the alarm. but instead of being praised, the african scientists behind the discovery found themselves scapegoats on the receiving end of death threats and travel bands. now they're being ordered here in berlin with the german africa price. the botswana harvard aids institute is one of the leading h i v research institutions on the continent with some of the best virology tests, including sickle leila model. when the pandemic hit mill and his team turned their focus from sequencing h i thee to cove it and in november 2021, they made an unusual discovery, a new pattern with a high amount of mutations the omicron variant. they reported it immediately. i think that a lot of potential maybe infections ah, the only unfortunate reaction was within

a few hours few days that many countries in southern africa were flipping it almost 2 years into the pandemic. the world once again went on full alert, borders were closed flights to southern africa, canceled, and suddenly those who discovered it became scapegoats even receiving death threats . a lot of people say you scientists have big mouths look what you have done. and it was very uncomfortable. a few hours after it was discovered in botswana, scientists here in south africa, sequenced it to, to leo de olivera was one of moya's ph. d supervises. now they close the collaborate on their research. that's what this from them. it showed that the african can become a scientific leader on, on, on the pandemic response which surprised many countries in the world but, but, but did not surprise us because that's big investments that we have been doing. especially people,

but also in big lads and equipment for the past. 20th day ali veda is one of the leading scientists in the field of viral outbreaks. and it's also from the global south. what surprised him was how busy the north was with itself during the pandemic and effective air travel bands. so i think that was very written, very said, how there would had the chance to respond to a global problem. and they decided to respond with an nationalistic approach with the didn't help. despite these challenges, loyal and de olivera continue their work. proving that leading medical research has also done in africa and that europe can learn lessons from the continent. and for it are here with me in the studio now dr. lawyer and dr. de olivera. thank you so much for making high order terms to berlin and also congratulations on the german africa prize. i want to start with you, dr. moya when you back in november of last year discovered what would later be

known as the amr con. very and did you immediately know that what you had just discovered would have a global impact? thank you. thank you for having us. that week was a unique one. borrowing from what we have done with h i v, we're used to looking at the virus and looking at the pit and of the mutations that is there. and of course, the only kind of mutations surprise this. initially we thought who this is a mistake. so immediately i lifted the minister of hell at we've seen an unusual pattern of mutations, we didn't know that was going to be right and you need to validate that. so we have to get content tracing and more samples. and when we begin to see that this pets and was also prevalent in other samples, then we knew that something was going on. and with a powerful network and collaboration with other scientists like professor deliver. it was easy to validate that this is indeed something new that is happening in our region. how was it for your doctor dale?

yeah. so, so if what else do we have detected many parents before before they're on the chrome. we also that, that the beat, the very end, we are the ones that help they and i to keep them to the fact there are for variant . so we are quite to use it. so everything happened in the same day. in the same day that, that dr. moore, you saw the 1st gentlemen here identify far gentleman, south africa, identify another 8th, and then we had to go in the process to make sure that this is a variance. that's not just the out the break. and that involves like, almost like a swat team. yeah. very fast response we, we move hundreds of samples from 100 different clinics to my lab. we did very fast sequencing less than 24 hours. we could see that these variants that we found in whatsoever in south african, i was bred everywhere. once we find that then, then you have to have very clear communication and that involves that talk with our

minister of health and science and they straight away. they stop at the agenda of the president, and i had to inform our president of south africa presidents from a pause of the finding. and he took the decision that our country together. it was when i should go public and we did the press briefing to like all the major tv channels, with the health minister there. and that's when the word got to know the army kron . after that, we need the to communicate to with the what the health organization i call urgent meeting. i am a member of the vital evolution committee. and within less than like, 3 days from it's supporting the 1st genomes. we had a validated that in hundreds of samples inform our president and or the health organization decided that it was indeed a variant of concern map. and instead of being praised them supported their the opposite. the way you said once you help protect the world, even though you got punished for it, you received death threats. the backlash was tremendous. were you shocked by the

response? truly, it was like a rollercoaster. you think that you're provided scientific evidence to protect the world because that information that's what is important for 4 bucks in design. that's important for investigation that's important for epidemiological check of what's happening with the epidemic. but then you receive such abuse in the, in the media and, and because of what has happened, our countries were shut down that we didn't expect to see after, after almost 18 months into the pandemic. you think that the global village will work together? so it was a bit of a surprise, but because we used to working with h a v and communicating, we believe in transparency and release of data. and that has not changed that still to day we will still release data because of, of the ethical obligation to inform the world. who do you blame for the backlash that followed the publication?

i think let it who it blend. it's basic, ignorance, ignorance, fear. in nationalism which played very big in this pandemic, it was not the 1st time that counters decide to close the chart, the actual hard. the vaccines are hard diagnostics. but when think that we lend from this pandemic is that this does not work here. as you know, on the current spread everywhere, and i believe he in germany, you also had them a massive wave. despite blocking south africa, we also know that there are mccrendon not come from south africa, but because we have very effective systems. and that's large investments for the past true 20 years on some of the best labs in the wood then for infectious diseases. and that's what we're trying to highlight to the word, the death, punishing or blocking counties. it's bad for global health. and just to realize that their work has a lot to gang,

to keeping bursting and supporting south and africa, especially. in fact, this is recession. as dr. more you mention, yeah. a lot of our previous experience on dealing with ha, v and the b could the help their work with army from south africa had very little that we prepare our hospitals. we boost our health care workers and we think that we can help again. yeah. and that's what we're going to keep doing also with other epidemics and pathogens. yeah, thank you so much research. i think a little more you until the only vera. thank you for a great work and for stopping by today. thank you. ah. and the world cup and katara gonna took on portugal and grew age. and as ever, christina, rinaldo made all the headlines with a story goal in a thrilling when forest he. c r 7 was fighting back his tears while singing the anthem in what might be his last chance of lifting the world cup. after an hour's play, portugal were awarded

a penalty and there was no question about who would take it. chris channel ronaldo with a historic goal as he becomes the 1st ever player to score in 5 world cups. however, ghana was quick to respond to all. i took was one passed down the left wing and poor portuguese, defending for andre. are you to make the game level? speaking of poor, defending a costly mistake by opto rum on baba, left jaw. felix wide open and he reclaimed the lead for portugal. just moments later, with gun still in shock, it was substitute rough hourly hour, making the score 3 to one came over no gun. i kept on fighting, and after a lucky deflection, osman bo curry found himself open on the back post and celebrated ronaldo style. and in the dying seconds of the game, gun us in ocoee williams. mister chance to punish tioga cost us carelessness. portugal barely edged out the wind. in an absolute thriller of a game. our reporter indo diane barcelona told me it was an exciting match. absolutely,

i mean portugal really had to sweat this by now. now ghana was making their return to the world cup. they didn't participate in 2018 also. they're one of the lowest rank teams in the tournament and very young and inexperienced, but they came up against portugal led by obviously christian arnoldo who is probably bigger than the entire world cup. and they were extremely impressive. a really frustrated portugal. it didn't let them get through, but of course, christiane arnoldo. he starts the scoring off setting that record personnel player to score in 5 well cut. but all in all a lot of positives for ghana and the atmosphere in the stadium was absolutely incredible. in the large part, thanks again, they had been to always bring a party everywhere. they go for center and all the made headlines recently after leaving manchester united by mutual consent it said, but the controversy doesn't seem to affect his game, did it? no,

not at all. i mean this is christiane over and although we're talking about here, he has razor sharp focus and he's silence the critics time and time again throughout his career. i mean, all the noise about manchester united, his explosive interview, he gave with pierce morgan, then it came out that he was going to leave the club. both of them had decided on that. so i mean, it's pretty obvious that there were going to be questions coming in as to whether or not he was focused or not. but i think again, rinaldo has showed us why he is considered one of the best players of all time. because when it comes time to putting everything aside and performing on the pitch, that's what he's able to do. and that's what he does. the german players protest before their last to japan has been criticized as insufficient in germany, but widely applauded in europe. what has the reaction in the arab world been so as you guys know, i'm in dough high right now, so i've had the chance to talk to a lot of fans from the air world,

from many different countries. now they've told me that they feel attacked. they feel like the west europe is trying to almost sabotaged this world cup for then what a lot of them have told me as well is that for example, when they go to other countries, they visit other countries. they really respect the laws and the norms. and they would like that same courtesy to be given to them. now actually another thing that some fans told me is that they feel a little bit of resentment, or actually a lot of resentment according to them. because for example, when the world cup was in russia, they felt like they were the same issues at play here. but it wasn't really talked about as much. so it's almost like they're under attack. and that's really the overwhelming thing i've heard from all the fans. i've talked to here in doha. i am bar selena thanks. are watching d w. here is

a quick reminder of our top story. but you and human rights council is launching a proven to iran's cracked out on anti government protests. nationwide demonstrations are now in their 3rd month. thousands are still turning out despite security forces using the deadly force against them. the cranes president voluntary zalinski is urging the united nations to condemn what he called energy terror. russian missile strikes have knocked out power and heat in several cities and caused blackouts, even in neighboring moldova. that's all for now. stay with us though, because after a short break, i will be back to take you through the day to see that ah,

[000:00:00;00] with oh mm hm. just across the border and epic hardy is kicking off where attendees can enjoy themselves in a way that will be impossible that people from iran travel to eastern turkey by,

by a short trip to town that could also be dangerous. oh, in europe. in 60 minutes on d. w. o. a legacy. when i arrived here, i slept with a sick of people in a room, 9th, in that it was hard. i wish fear. i even got white hair is learning the gym. my language head. yeah, a lot this kids to me and they don't, but trinity to and track with you want to know their story for migrant verifying and reliable information for migrant. well, you become

a criminal pre k, my mayo already know that with hackers, paralyzing the tire societies. computers that are some are you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can work for. and that's how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube. in iran, demanding basic rights comes at an unbelievable price. over 300 people have been killed and the protest triggered by the death of gina masa. many thousands of
