touchmart is in beijing, and he is currently affected by corona virus restrictions himself. yeah, this afternoon, local time, my building or got locked down. why? because one neighbor tested positive drink the daily mass tests that were facing already for many months now. and to give you an idea, i mean my building has 25 flaws or so one person is positive. that means we all have to stay inside the building and locked on. that's that means that we are physically prevented from leaving. if i go downstairs, then at the building entrance, there will be a half a dozen people members of the local neighborhood committee and also health workers in full harassment suits. and yet they, they build up a fence if i want to, you know, across the line they will get very unfriendly. so you're, you're literally locked in your own home. and that's the fate that many beijing us or i mean several 100 millions of chinese in the country are facing right now. so i'm not the only one to tell us more about the events in orange. she

yet there was really a very tragic incident on thursday night. a fire broke out there wasn't a high rise residential building on the 15th floor. and yet the claims of it, you know, those 10 deaths could have been prevented if there was not a, you know, an excess of looked on because the rescue woke up. they needed a very long time to get to the building. am because of all the fancy vista restrictions of movement, then also the a people in the compound they could not leave so easily because there were locks. apparently the fire exit also is supposed to have been locked. and i mean, that's very credible. i've seen that and also karen teen facility. see that in the exit. are you really with an iron locked m a close to? so, i mean, that's very tragic and it's not the 1st time that people are dying because of the tragic side effects of those look downs. it's rudy and sparked a lot of anger and people who don't lucy or they've gone to the streets. they have

protested and they do that under very, very great risk and under great danger, but still they're so fed up, they have nothing to lose. they went on to the streets and actually it helped us the next day the local government set. okay. we basically clearing up now and i'm relaxing some of the restrictions. and is this something of that can be sustainable, the relaxation. i mean, how big of a challenge armies predecessor were witnessing and china to the country. they were called the policy yet the frustration is as high as it has never been before or during the pandemic. if you go on social media, you see a lot of chinese posting very critical am a statements, very critical videos. and also those who are actually not so a political or who are not. so we're, we're rather patriotic, but even they've had enough. and the sense of us are really at it working overtime you scroll through, oh, social media, opening links and the next morning everything is deleted. so it's,

it's really shows you something. and usually i would say that, you know, those anger on social media could also disappear. soon it has happened before, but nowadays, i mean it's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel because even despite those really strong loc dance, the cases are rising m a beijing is posting record high numbers. the country is also posting a record high numbers also the already the 4th consecutive day. so i mean, the restrictions will go on if the government doesn't change its course, but right now they're really doubling down on 0 cove it. so am i don't see any solution for that. this really a lot of frustration here. all right, a journalist fabi and catch my, they're reporting for us from beijing himself in lockdown as well. fat in thank you so much. and he has a look now at some other stories making use around the world. united states has been to the sale and import of communications equipment from chinese firm sway. and

in which international observers say he faced no real opposition to ty, it is an ally of russian president vladimir putin, but he has criticized russia's war in ukraine. local summits on trade in endangered species as a back to a plan to protect shocks the amos to reduce the illicit trade in shock fins. several types of shock are in danger of extinction. more than 180 countries approved the proposal in panama. sharks often conjure images of man eating predators lurking in the ocean depths, ready to attack a perception. hollywood is helped fuel with films like the 1975 thriller jaws. 6 but scientists say they should be treated as vulnerable, not vicious. experts say they play a crucial role in marine ecosystems,

and protecting them helps boost the health of the world's oceans. delegates at a global summit in panama, agreed. they voted to protect 54 sharks species by making it easier for customs and enforcement officials to ensure the international trade and shark products is legal and sustainable. the animals are often hunted for their fins and for their meat that's placed several shark species at risk of extinction. o, delegates at the global summit meet every few years to hammer out policies aimed at ensuring the survival of hundreds of animals and plants worldwide. of all we're joined but you've on it or she's secretary general of the convention on international trade and endangered species of wealth phone. i'm flora. thank you so much for taking the time to speaking to us. so environmentalists have been

praising the results of the conference as historic in wildlife preservation. will those the results really make any difference when it comes to maintaining a bio diversity? absolutely. as you know, i think the convention that regulates international trade. it endangered species. and this is an eagerly binding convention when the decisions are taken here. at these conferences, parties, the parties have to go back home and change their legislation. change the way they regulate is international trade in the specific species that have been adopted. new regulations, for example, whether it's non commercialization which would be an appendix one or that commercialization is accepted. but highly regulated with permits. so they have to go back and put in place the scientific studies to understand how much they can actually export. that without damaging the existence of the species in the while and legal documents that show that everything from the entire value chain has been

legally acquired. why $54.00 shocks species? why? why not say, let's sort of bun hunting and trading off all of them. because not all of them are in danger, not all of some of them are foldable, so that don't have as much of a threat as others. we have to look at the science and everything under se has to be based on science. and there is evidence. many of the chart charts that work, most of the ones that were accepted to put in for regulation has losses in relation of up to 70 percent over the last 50 years. this is evidence that the trade is breaking them, but also some of them are actually so hard to distinguish from each other, that there's an additional additional duties that had to be added. because we're customs officials and others. it's difficult identify when you see it in,

especially when you see need to know which is nice and so they have to add like this. and there is a provision under the convention for that. why did i mention? all right, and you would say that there is a real sense of urgency there right now across the board. absolutely. if you think about with the triple planetary crisis that we are confronting of last bio diversity, climate change and pollution. and the, the inter linkages between climate change and last and bio diversity. we are really in an urgent situation. we have now had the cop climate change that just took place in carmel. shake me now has scientists and we are on our way to the conventional bio diversity that's having their conference of the parties in a couple of weeks in more trade in canada. it's a sense of urgency that we know they do not do anything about the about by a diversity about and dangerous species. we could those up to a 1000000 of them in the next years, right. even on aero secretary general, all the convention of international trade and endangered species of wild form and

flora sense of urgency. but there is some sort of silver lining on the horizon at least after the last conference. thank you so much for your time. oh, thank you. oh, the iranian football teams refusal to sing that national anthem was bigger news than the score line in their 1st match. but they were singing again ahead of their to nail when of a whales following alleged pressure from the government. it is just one sign of the huge risks iranian people are taking to show their descent at a world cup, increasingly overshadowed by human rights issues. these iranian fans in the stadium wanted to seize the opportunity and draw attention to the bloody correct down on protests happening in their home country. but their message, women, life freedom, was not welcomed by fi, find cutter and removed. just like iranian flex,

altered to hide the symbol of the islamic republic. the team's decision to this time sing the national anthem, albeit reluctantly. a sign of the immense pressure the play asunder and a you meditation. painful to watch for many and attendance. for others it's a symbol of giving into a regime they don't approve of. especially since it comes just a day after their former t med valera, valerie was arrested in iran after training session with his club full at whose estin. therefore, he is of kurdish origin and has repeatedly criticized the oppression of women and minorities in these law, mac republic. now he's facing charges for tarnishing the reputation of the national team and spreading propaganda against the state. that mexico for he, one of the more than 15000 people authorities in iran have arrested since the protest began in september. more than 300 iranians have been killed according to

human rights groups. and every day security forces attack, protest us all over the country. it has created a rift through iranian society, that's also on display in carter, outside the stadium. supporters of these limited republic try to silence anti government protest us and hide their messages, turning the match itself into a sideshow. and so the iranian team managed to defeat wales on the pitch and yet disappointed many of their friends for not standing by them. no stranger got the 1st taste of victory encounter after defeating tenicia, one nil to kick off today's action. her soccer is netted early in the match through mitchell, duke, and the 23rd minutes managed to convert a header from craig goodman's cross. the aussie found the back of the net, just out of reach of the 2 nissan goalkeeper. the wind keep this up and was what have hopes, alive, and a shock to feed on tuesday left

a bitter taste in the mouth of argentina found after saudi arabia stunned the south american nation. but you couldn't tell by looking after fans in doha suit. lucky if we're argentina, france gathered in the capitals oldest marketplace to show support their team ahead of their match against mexico later today, argentina's to one last to saudi arabia. as soon as one of the biggest upsets in world history in watching dw news from me and the team here in berlin. thanks for joining. and we'll be back with the latest at the top of the hour. ah, people and trucks injured was trying to flee the city center more and more refugees are being turned away at the border families playing phone tag. the reason for these correct only thing is we live in.
