ah, a masters to us. ah, that's why we listened to their stories. reporter every weekend on d. w. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, business d w. news live for berlin, ty, ones, president steps down as leader off her party. shy in when campaigned a local elections on a platform of defiance against china bomb. this strategy backfired as

a boat just flocked to the opposition also on the program. why ukrainians fleeing the war as homes are still finding a warm welcome in poland. even though accommodation is becoming scarce as more and more people arrive and in cats, ha, lena. messy turns on the magic as argentina be to mexico and get there will come back on track. ah, i'm would last like a s good to have you with us towards president chai in when is standing down as head of the islands ruling democratic progressive party? ty campaigned in local elections on the platform of defiance against china to uphold ty, once democracy, strategy back fried as voters flock to the main opposition party which backs chinese nationalism. chai,

remains president and says there are difficult days ahead for taiwan. she referred to the growing pressure being exerted by beijing. so this is the country is facing also challenges both internally and externally, including the post pandemic, economic recovery, and several other major policy in development and construction. d, w, tie, pay, correspondent william yang says president, shy, misjudged voters. biggest concerns. so 1st of all, i think this shows the voters does not really resonate with the platform that her party has been trying to campaign on, which is to focus on the threat from china. and also the threat to time on democracy. and at the same time, there are clearly some grievances throughout the entire last 2 year. and in terms

of how her government at the moment were handling the pandemic. and there were some moments where people were just unsatisfied with the government policies. and i think on the other hand, we need to point to the fact that there have been a tradition in these local elections of the ruling party facing some advantages because they've been in power for 2 years before the election. and so there will be a section on several different issues of building up to the election. and so the position party usually will benefit more in the election. ok, so the president has quit as party leader, but she's staying on as president. how does that work? so over the last 6 years as her present during her presidency, she's twice been both the president and the party chair. and that has really allowed her to push forward the policy platform that she wanted both administratively. but also in the legislature as well, where the party also control the majority. but in the past,

she how step down was in 2018 local election where the party also suffered defeat. so this time it's just simply a repeat, it's more symbolic than actually going to affect her role in ability to push forward the can that the policy platform for the remaining time. but what's important is that her stepping down is going to make way for the next purpose successor, who will likely be the candidate that will run in the 2024 presidential election for the party. so the see these results as an indicator for the presidential election coming up in 2024. right, so for each party, this election result will push for the front runners for them. for the d. p. p. they will have some internal, disorganized light, reorganization, and push. nominate the person who they believe is the strongest the lead of the party for into the 2024 election. and for the kmc is the politicians who have been

perform much better than others who will likely be able to convince their party to nominate and unite behind them. and there is a 3rd party candidate whose party was able to secure one seat in this election. and he, they will likely be able to gauge the ability of the party to run for president nationwide . so i think we are likely going to see a 3 way race for their presidential election in the coming months and in the campaign season, as well as for spending an old battle to us, william the gang reporting from ty pay. thank you. now the latest on the war and ukraine authorities say, days of heavy shilling by russian forces has killed 32 people in the southern region of phone long traffic hughes villa as civilians leave the area in search of safety, ukrainian forces liberated, has gone just 2 weeks ago, moscow has been kept up a relentless barrage,

a lot of help from the people here. ok. arena was trained as a banker. now she has a polish id number, which ukrainian refugees can apply for quickly and easily. that opens up access to child benefits, school and medical care. they're also free language courses. julio, i'm learning the language said that i can understand them and work in my field once again janice, to proceeding ukrainian. refugees can also access free psychological help for their children. all of them have lost something, their homeland their house, even siblings or parents will at the key. there are children who drew pictures of people with a knife in the head, or someone who was kayla's vocal briscoe ssa. every child expresses it differently . they get sco vanya, yep. was what enameled to opt out. at the beginning of the war in february and

march, there was an eagerness to help that bordered on euphoria. that subsided, but support remains high. even though housing has become scarcer, it's not a new phenomenon. back in 2014, after russia annex crimea, there was a big wave of refugees. ms. nemo growing through on you. we know ukrainians well, so you know, they've been working here for a long time and they're well received here locally. and secondly, us polls no russian imperial policy, but for you better than apps, most western countries do you do to grab a hold of their common enemy unites them. but the challenge isn't going away. as the cold sets in an energy becomes scarce in ukraine, poland may find many more refugees had its door. has a look now. some of the stories making news around the world. crowds held a vigil for victims of a fight as an apartment block in the northern chinese city of room. she. 10 people died in the blaze. residence a strict coven, 19 lockdown regulations,

a decade to dwell cup and cattle. now an argentine redeem themselves after their shock close to saudi arabia by beating mexico to no officer. i acquired the 1st half audience, you know, save the style in a messy burst into life and put them ahead with a precisely targeted strike. and a wonderful goal from and so finance is rounded off the wind, which leaves them 2nd in a group, see a point behind poland. and with me in the studio to discuss that match. and the rest of the days action is jonathan crane from dw sports. allison argentina's talisman. he really stepped off when they needed him to me. yeah, you really can't keep lena messy down for long. can you though? i think mexico did try their best. they roughed him out, they shut him out, but it only takes one moment of magic from him to make a difference. and it, it came in this game didn't really have much space to maneuver, but you only need skillfully anonymous image and he'll take it. and actually

audibly the 2nd go from enzo fernandez the gave argentina some breathing space was a bit better. we see that one coming up there. but a crucial wind for argentina, really after they had that shock defeats in the game against saudi arabia, that not completely out of jail. they because they play poland in the next match. that's not going to be an easy game for them. and they do have the saudi raven team breathing down the next. it's going to be a very, very tight finish, i think, to that group. but for the moment, lynn are messy. and his chances of getting his hands on that woke up trophy at the faith and probably final attempt are still alive. let's talk about france. they are the 1st team to qualify to the last 16. how impressive were they? were a bit more impressive than argentina. yeah, they are safely into the last 16 with a game to spare, the hoping to achieve a ref, feet, and that is to defend a world cup tight. so believe it or not is only happened twice in the history of

the competition. italy and brazil, france came into this competition with a string of injury problems, not really and the best of form, but they're really starting to show their class with best are player leading the way for them. after colas. first half this match came to lie from the hour mark. who else put killian, him back, a passing france in france? tear hernandez with the pass back. and him back pe typically doesn't miss from their denmark though, have a good recent record against france and even it's later and raised kristin said headed them level christenson arguably lucky to still be on the pitch of reciprocal found on him back a in the 1st half still, france, you superstar had the last laugh and back a on target. again,

a release of emotion for him and relief for france. even if it wasn't the prettiest stovall ever score. france through to the last 16 will be seeing a lot more of him back a so francis 3, what does this mean for the rest of group d? profess roll. it means or france of ended the title holders curse because at the last 3 well cups are the defending champions. all went out in the group stage, including of course, germany a 4 years ago in russia, in 2018. so france are on top of the group or with 6 points after she wins from to look there. australia in 2nd place are bouncing back after their heavy for wanted to fit to france in the 1st game. so they will qualify for the last 60, if they beat denmark in the final group, k, that will actually really looks to be a win act takes all clash. we had a fine performance from poland as well. they normally struggle in the world cup now looks like they could get out of the group stages. is that all down to robert lemon,

dusky? i mean he's, he plays a big part as he say pole in the really disappointed in recent major tournaments. and i think a lot of that is because they to put so much reliance on levon dorski, former by munich star of course, now at boss alona. so when he doesn't fire, when he doesn't score poland to struggle. but so luckily for them that he was on target in the way against saudi arabia today. that's his 1st ever woke up goal in his 5th appearance that made it, you know, to poland. and you can see just how much the go might swim there. and he missed a penalty in the last match against mexico. so a solid wind for potent gets a very decent, a saudi arabia tide and they're now in a very strong position to qualify for the knockout stages for the 1st time since 1986. wow. thank you very much, jonathan johnson crane from d. w. sports, 2 of them. finally, irene kara, us singer and actress who immortalized the hit songs fame and flash dawns has died
