president she jim pink to resign. earlier this week, 10 people died, an apartment block fire engine chan, province. many residents said an ongoing lockdown had hampered rescue efforts. chinese officials have defended their 0 coven policy despite the growing public backlash. on the scale of these protests have a stunned people, both inside and outside of china. i earlier spoke to our chorus chit, spoke to a correspondent, javion crutch more and asked him that jest how unusual these scenes we've been seen really are extremely unusual. i think the last time that we've seen so many of the public poets protests at the same time happening. he and china was in the ninety's, i guess. so it's really unusual. the most critical protest, we're definitely in shanghai, you hit the crowds shouting, yard down was sitting pink down. was the ccp that has really, really

a very unusual because it comes at a great risk. i mean, usually in china, even a critical social media posts and couldn't get you into trouble. and if you make that claim publicly it's, it's really very dangerous. i mean, every square inch here and those big cities are, are, are controlled by surveillance camera. so this really a great risk for those people and some of them actually also have been, you know, taken away by the police and not only in shanghai, also and beijing. there were a lot of residential communities who broke down the barriers of their locked down apartments. there were protests in the universities in many cities here, so that's really could be the beginning of the end of the 0 cobra policy. and do you think that easing china's tough coven restrictions would be enough to satisfy protesters? or does this go to something much deeper whether it really depends for the people who are, who are demonstrating in shanghai as a da 0 cobra policy was basically a manifestation of the, you know, increasing repressions and increasing civilians are increasing isolation of china

that you've already observed before, so for them probably it's much deeper and am as you're the 0 corporate policies, bro, only the trigger that you know, a cost those protests but i mean he, in beijing for example, today i followed am a residential community who basically am discussed and debated their way through her, out of their locked down compartment to, to do their freedom. and for them it was rather the opposite. they would consider themselves as rather pro government. and they think that the problem of those excess of luck dance is with her. you know, am local neighborhood committees who abuse their power, so it's really a mixed bag and they're not really are very confidential about whether it's anti government or not. but people are definitely are fed up with the 0 corporate restrictions. and you mentioned that in some of those protest, there were instances where people were shouting down with president, she jan hang. and he's just secured. an unprecedented 3rd term in our face. how worried you thinking should be about these protests. we're definitely very worried

. and that's why the sensors are wet, working overtime and, and that's really what makes it so hard for those protests to mobilize and are, you know, in different cities to connect because, you know, am, if you follow social media then yeah, you, you will get a glimpse of it, but i mean, a lot of those are smartphone videos and recordings of those protests are already deleted in china. and if you only follow the official media, then you wouldn't even get any idea what's happening. so it's really hard to mobilize and there's of course, a very em repressive state here. people get arrested for much. i'm your smaller incidence and are protesting. so it is very dangerous. so i would not expect, you know, any great danger. but i mean, who knows? awesome developments could take on a dynamic that it's really very hard to predict. well, thank you very much for re as up to date as valiant catcher in beijing or this as ty, one's presidents, i and one is stepping down as the leader of her party. i campaigned in local elections on a platform of defiance against china and upholding ty,

one's democracy, voters flocked instead to the main opposition party. ah, a startling outcome in tie one's local elections. generally these poles focus on domestic issues that hit voters close to home. but president, shy in when took a different approach in the face of been increasingly belligerent. china, now she sought to frame local votes as a fight for tie one's freedom and democracy. doors in top rated networks that are the strategies at clyde high shinji. the result of the election as lee she effected on the she hm. the you thought them changed the check or, or yes, be harrison learning partner half her responsibility. i therefore resign from my people. i'm a part okay. by dragging international issues into a domestic election. analysts say, try lost the attention of citizens more concerned with crime rates and

a search in coven. 19. it's been a difficult here for relations between taiwan and china. in august tensions rose to the highest level in years when beijing effectively blockaded the island with a series of huge military exercises. the drills followed a controversial visit to taipei by us house speaker, nancy pelosi, which china saw as a provocation. 7 taiwan, so position the k m t as long accused shy of being too confrontational towards china, scoring strong gains in these elections. the k empty insists it will also focus on protecting ty, once freedoms, despite resigning as potty leda shy will continue as president until 2024. but her job just became a lot more difficult. now, we can bring up to speed now. it's not their stories making news around the world's

2nd in group see a point behind poland lar, detail. the reporters were on the ground in doha, after the conclusion of that match. here is some argentina fan reaction that they sent us from the ground. well to soper, i'll be in the 4th column. but in the magical movie, up, a little hold is over. we'll do a joint please. match was a may the, was that best match ever? i my hug when it makes it got a busy guy. no, i don't even make the guy. no, no, i don't know if you had the lead me already. i'd be we'd get the board. this is the best i can speak. i'm sorry. i'm so excited. i'm sorry, i just do want to, we're mostly i love you must be a relief. you might remember that saudi arabia kicked off their world cup campaign by shocking argentina, but also saudi arabia's wave of joy after their greatest ever victory came to an

abrupt end with defeat to poland and group. see their sorrows strive for robert levant augustine for his 1st world cup goal to round off a to no victory. an emotional rollercoaster for the buyer, munich star, the former by your munich star should say. and in grove de raining champions, france paint denmark to want to become the 1st team to qualify for the knockout stage to embark base or both french goals and break danish hearts after a goal, his 1st half this match came to lie from the hour mark, who else the 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 8 minutes later. and chris christenson headed them level christenson,

arguably lucky to still be on the pitch of reciprocal foul on the back a, in the 1st half still, francis superstar had the last laugh and back pay on target. again, a release of emotion for him and relief for france, even if it wasn't the prettiest stole will ever score. france through to the last 60, we'll be seeing a lot more of him back a and it's crunch time for germany when they faced spain in group eat later today. i spoke to our d. w. sports correspondent, jonathan harding, who's in doha and asked him what, what a loss would mean for team germany. it will be a disaster, and maybe it's a very and even more obvious or clear terms. if germany do lose to spain, they will have the same number of points as hosts. cut off to 2 games which is 0. i mean, that is a terrible situation for germany to find themselves in,

but it's also a logical result really of the way that this tournament has gone for germany. their training camp in oman was pretty rushed. the performance against japan was largely positive, but then they fell apart at the end. and then there has been a lot of field conversation about the arm band. and then of course their protest in return. so it's been a pretty tumultuous performance in terms of germany's woke up and i'm a little bit worried about. okay. and what about henzy flexion? he also be worried, he said a hugely impressive start as germany coach. and if his job might be under threat, if germany lose to spain, no, i think if there's anyone that doesn't need to worry it's hands if like i think given the fact that he's not been in the job very long, i think he's one of the people that can probably be very safe and secure, and the fact that he's going to be germany's coach going forward, oliver be off team executive probably is someone that does need to worry. he's been around a lot. he may well need to carry the counter this as they say, but really the whole conversation around what will happen in german football. if

germany do lose this game will be about use football, the lack of a strike or the lack of wing backs. they'll be an enormous in question to why germany have found themselves in this position. their record in tournaments has been terrible. you know, look at russia 2018 look at the euro's last summer. there's only been one when throughout this entire stretch. so there are bigger questions here than just whether the head coach is right or not. and all of this negatively toward the team on the happen suggestions. and they have been distracted by non football issues. can you tell what the mood is like in the german cancer? i think that may be fair to say, i mean, obviously on the field you can say that they played well for 70 minutes against japan. so it wouldn't necessarily say that the arm band was the reason for that, but the whole conversation around it, the team has already admitted that it has obviously been something this on their minds. so it has played a role. the team atmosphere is tricky. they looked a little bit sloppy in training. there's obviously a degree of frustration kai hobbit spoke of rage inside his belly as

a result of the loss against japan. so there's obviously some tension there. curious to see what the result will be again, despite and they have to show that that, that tension, that nervousness is translated into something positive going forward. definitely want to watch. that is jonathan harding for us from katara. thank you so much. well, an offbeat tradition has returned to one town in austria for the 1st time since the lifting of the corona virus pandemic restrictions. hundreds of people turned out for a parade of monsters. they are not something for the faint of heart, according to local folk lore, left cramp us monster is santa claus is evil sidekick. who punishes children, who've been naughty instead of nice. um, youngsters has been especially bad, my climbing sounds being carted off. well, let's get a quick reminder of our top story before we go for protests have broken out in
