a can is full cultural history, secret weapon clips take it off december 3rd on d, w. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, business d w. news live from berlin, ty, ones, president steps down as a leader of her party. shy ang, when campaigned in local elections on the platform of defiance against china. back

this strategy backfired as voters flocked to the opposition. also in the program. why ukrainians, playing the wards high, are still finding a warm welcome in poland. even though accommodation is becoming scarce as morbid people arrive and in catalina messy turns on the magic as college and tina be to mexico. and yet they will come back on track. ah. i'm all lost like a it's good to have you with us. i was president chai in when is standing down as head of the islands ruling. a democratic progressive party shy campaigned in local elections on a platform of defiance against china to uphold taiwan democracy. the strategy backfired as voters flocked 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 young, says president chai, misjudged to 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 want democracy. but at the same time, there are clearly some grievances throughout the entire last 2 years 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 satisfaction 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 controls the majority. but in the past,

she have step down once 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 and ability to push for the can the policy platforms for the remaining time. but what's important as her stepping down is going to make way for the next pretty successor, who will likely be the candidate that will run in the 2020 for 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 to lead the party for into 2024 election. and for the camp. he 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 the presidential election in the coming months and in the campaign season as well. i for spending an old battle to us, william gang reporting from ty, pay. thank you to the latest on the war and ukraine now and authority say days of heavy shelling by russian forces has killed 32 people in the southern region of pass on long traffic hughes have built up as civilians leave the area in search of safety ukrainian forces liberated has on just 2 weeks ago, moscow has since kept up

a relentless barrows primarily targeting power and water supplies. repair crews are struggling to restore services. poland has not always been known for welcoming refugees. many arriving from africa, afghanistan and syria, have faced hostility at the border. people fleeing the war and ukraine have received much friendlier treatment. oh, jeez la. this is footage from a thank you video to poland, from ukraine's defense ministry, gratitude to their neighbor for military support. and for taking in refugees. irina is one of them. she fled half son in july and arrived in poland with her daughter. no other country is taken in so many refugees from ukraine. m a pre ye holy if you'd so like you, when we got here. we just felt at peace ickes relief. such a. com feeling like holland was giving us a hug. i am not below you feel

a lot of compassion and guess a lot of help from the people here. ok? irina 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 till i am, i'm learning the language said that i can understand and then work in my field once again janice, to proceed. 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 if a key there are children who drew pictures of people with a knife in the head, or someone who was kayla's vocal disclosure, every child expresses it differently. they get sco vanya equis was 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 up 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 in no russian imperial policy, but we're better than apps. most western countries do. you guys are held, their common enemy unites them. but the challenge isn't going away. as the cold sets in and energy becomes scarce in ukraine, poland may find many more refugees at its door. has a look at some other stories making news around the world's crowds held the vigil for victims of a fire. in apartment block and the northern chinese city of room, she 10 people died in the blaze residence faith, strict cove at 9,

a precisely targeted strike and a wonderful go from and so fernandez rounded off the wind, which leaves them 2nd in the group. see one point behind poland. and with me in the studio to discuss that match and the rest of the days action is johnathan crane from dw sports, jonathan argentina talisman, he really stepped up when they needed him. binnie. yeah, he 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 in it. it came in this game, didn't have much space to maneuver, but you need he skillfully and i'll miss you mentioned he'll take it and actually audibly. the 2nd go from enzo, fernandez the gave argentina some breathing space was a bit better or we see that one coming up there. but at a crucial wind for argentina, really after they had that shocked defeat in the early j my 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, lena 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. them argentina. yeah, they are safely and for the last 16 with the game at a spare, the hoping to achieve rev feet, and that is to defend a world cup title. 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 the 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 pay 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 christensen, arguably lucky to still be on the pitch of reciprocal foul on the back a in the 1st half stale francie 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 goal will ever score. france through to the last 16 will be seeing a lot more of them back a so francis tree, 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 4 wanted to feed to france in the 1st game. so they will qualify for the last 16 if they beat denmark in their final group k. that one actually really looks to be a win at 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 dorski? i mean he's, he plays a big part as a potent really disappointed in recent major tournaments. and i think a lot of that is because they put so much reliance on levon dorski, former by munich star of course, now foster loaner. so when he doesn't fire,

when he doesn't score poland to struggle. but so luckily for them, he was on target in the way in the can 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 to go mainstream there. and he missed a penalty in the last match against mexico. so a solid wind for podium to get a very decent, a saudi arabia site and then now in a very strong position to qualify for the knockout stages for the 1st time since 1986. wow. thank you very much, jonathan jumping crane from dw sports. you're welcome. and finally i ran kara, the you, a singer and actress, immortalized the hit songs fame and flashed on has died h 63. ah, kara rose to fame in the 1980 film fame playing you for me all student coca hernandez. she went on to win an oscar for rising and performing the title track of
