no one a make up your own mind. w . made for mines. ah, ah ah, this is dw news lie from berlin. a wave of protests unprecedented in modern china. dozens of demonstrations break out nationwide including in beijing and shanghai as anger layers over ongoing cove. 19 restrictions in a row outpouring of to send hundreds call for president eugene ping to step down.

i didn't catch our lionel nessie returns so on the magic as argentina beat mexico and get the world cup back on track. ah, monica jones well come to the program. unrest is growing in china over the country strict cove 19 measures. fresh protests have broken out in major cities with hundreds rallying at beijing's lead sink while university chanting we want freedom . many also holding up blanket sheets of paper in a symbolic protest against the state censorship. more demonstrations have also been reported in shanghai following clashes with police overnight. public anger has flared after a deadly apartment block fire with many blaming an ongoing lockdown for hampering rescue efforts. chinese officials have defended their c recovered policy despite

the growing public backlash. and we can talk now to correspondent faddie and catch now who is in beijing a father and 1st of all what, what can you tell us about the situation there? yeah, we're basically seeing the biggest protest in china since at least 19 nineties. it's really remarkable. and in the night or from saturdays to sunday, the several hundreds of young people in shanghai gathered. they did not only voice their criticism against the 0 corporate policy, but also against ceasing pings rule. they were shouting down with she to ping down with the party. i mean, that's really unheard of and you have her protests in basically all of the country . i give you one noticeable example he and paging at the really very prestigious ching, while university am also several hundreds, maybe even more than a 1000 students are gathering, also shouting slogans, demanding freedom. and it's really,

i mean that they are very courage. astaire basically for the 1st time speaking up and that comes really at a great risk. and i mean, the chinese government is known to have a very low tolerance for, for criticism. what does it tell us that are so many unwilling now to defy the regime to be courageous, as you just said, yet many have had enough. they feel also um, like they have nothing to lose. i would say they are different motifs especially that see migrant workers for them. the lock downs are an existential economic threat. so read, they have nothing to lose for the students. for example, i think while university for more for them, i'm sure it's a moral obligation. they want to show solidarity because on thursday night there was a fire, an autumn woods, she in a, in a cindy young 10 people died, and many people in china believe those deaths could have been prevented. they were basically a side effect of those very excess of locked downs. and it's not the 1st time the people had to die because of those locked downs. and basically,

every day on social media you see em, people in a desperate don't um, suicide and jumping from their roofs because they've been, you know, 4 weeks, sometimes months locked down in their home. so and they had the feeling now it's too much, we have to assure our solidarity. we have to say something. and do you think that easing china's half coded restrictions would be enough to satisfy protesters, or is there really maybe something deeper going on for some yes, i mean, in shanghai, we've really seen that. and they want more than just a change of the covert. a pandemic policy, i mean, they basically asked sitting pink to step down. i mean, for them, you know, the endless repressions, the civilians that no came during the per pandemic but was also observable before i think they want a different society. i'm sure about that, but also for many other people, it's really mostly the endless covered lockdown said, you know, am herb a brings their patients to an end or here in beijing for example. i followed one,

you know, residential compound. they, you know, a fought their way to the outside of those barriers that they had in front of their locked down compound. and they see the problem more with the local neighborhood committees who abuse their power. they want to call the police, wanted to call the authorities because they actually had trust in them that they would, you know, correct those things. so that's really a mixed bag of motifs behind those protesters. but all of them definitely had enough. am of a 0 covert i if i the and that is sort of obviously in out makes you wonder why is eugene king insisting on these very rigid covey measures, given the low numbers, there are let along the economic and to what we see now. also the social backlash yeah, that's really a complicated question because i mean, nobody knows we're 100 percent for sure. um, but i would say that, you know, um the government has put itself in a dead end. we have for more than 2 years, an endless propaganda telling that there is no tentative tuesday recovered that the

china is the only place that managed to, you know, em contained the virus. and now we see that this strategy is not sustainable anymore. and, and they don't know how to change in, in, in the last months achieve for more than a year. they're so much resources in endless testing and a current facilities. and they both fail to start a nationwide herb exceed the campaign. i mean, now the people over 80 years old, this a rate of less than 40 percent, who had a booster shot. so if now we would open up completely, i'm sure there would be a lot of damage to the people in terms of health. so now it's really, there's not good options left, right? correspond if i didn't catch mother reporting for us from beijing. thank you so much for him. and his a look at some other stories making news around the world tie once president sy, in when has stood down as the leader of the islands ruling democratic progressive party after it suffered its worst local inaction to feed and decades. sy presented

the vote as a test of ty wants, determination to stand up for democracy in the face of an aggressive china voters instead flocked to the opposition emergency crews are searching for multiple people still missing after a landslide on the italian island of east care at least one person was killed in a slight, which was figured by heavy rain blocked road and bad weather have hampered rescue efforts. now the latest on the war in ukraine authorities say that days of heavy shelley by russian forces have killed at least 32 people in the southern region of her son. long lines of traffic have built up her civilians leave the area in search of safety, ukrainian forces liberated her san just 2 weeks ago. moscow has since kept up a relentless barrage of primarily targeting power and water supplies

and enjoyed now by dr. marina, me all is she is a research fellow in the center for military ethics at kings college in london. good to have you with us. or perhaps we could start, 1st of all with your assessment, what impact our russian attacks on ukraine's critical infrastructure? having in terms of ukraine's military strategy of course, obviously z o, there are 2 strands to this impact that russia is seeking to generate was also attack from critical infrastructure. on the one hand, that creates political pressure on the lansky because people are left in winter in cold was our power was out, water is there is no heating. and so there might be an internal pressure upon the government. despite the fact that alina zalinski said that people are ready to wait for 2 or 3 years without electricity, that they will not give in. however, as the situation is getting worse. and the 2nd, perhaps,

the most important component is a military component. because in winter, as a troops will have to be supplied and now in order to provide heating for the population, he grain will have to rely on power generators, which use fuel and as their main components. so that will create shortages of fuel, also slow down food supplies and food production and so on. so it will create a very heavy logistical strain and it will be difficult to sustain the troops. right. and on the other hand, we know from the britain's military intelligence that has suggested that russia is likely firing aging cruise missiles stripped of nuclear war, hans, that ukrainian targets. what does that tell us about the state of the russian offensive? it does hazard. russia is obviously slowly running out of its stocks, for instance, the likes of its conder and caliber missiles are getting very low and it's very

difficult for russia under sanctions to replenish those stocks. and it will all have also have to think if there is a bigger escalation was an 8 or it will still needs or missile. so right now, it seems that russia is switching to cheaper missiles. it's using error defense missiles from it's asked $300.00 systems which are not that precise and it has no shortage of sots. and it also has a deal with ram to replenish missiles. it's using drones to supplement missiles. it's also going to import 5 to 110 and zolphi our missiles from iran, as well as artillery shells from north korea. so it is preparing for a long war. all right, so maria, me hall the from the center of notary ethics at kings college in london. thank you so very much for your assessments. thank you. oh,

on to the world cup in cats. ha. and argentina redeemed themselves after they are shocked. last to saudi arabia, by beating mexico to nil after a while, 1st half argentina, superstar leona nessie burst into life and put them a head with a precisely targeted strike. and a wonderful goal from answer fernandez, rounded off the wind, which leaves them 2nd and group, see a point behind poland. i did up the reporters were at the stadium in doha, after that match. they sent us some reactions from argentina, france. well, to suffer our being because i am the mother of murphy up here again, a joy. these match was amazing. was the best match ever. i. my husband is mexican in my really don't know. and i need to make the guy know, though i don't know. i'd be healing me already. i think we get the board. this is

the person who i just really just sort of so i, i'm sorry, i just do mercy. i love you. a saudi arabia kicked off their world cup campaign by shocking argentina, but the wave of joy after their greatest victory came to an abrupt end with defeat to poland and group. see, they asked asked like a robot levant or ski scored his thirst worth cub goal to round off a to know victory. an emotional moment for the former bar munich star, it grew d, raining champions, france b to denmark, to one to become the 1st team to qualify for the knockout stage. killian poppy scored both french goals to break danish hearts. offer callers 1st hall. this march came to laurie for me, our mom, who else? lillian, him back, a passing france in france. tear hernandez with

a pass back. and in by pe typically doesn't miss from their denmark though, have a good recent report against france in 8 minutes later and raised kristin and headed them level christenson arguably lucky to still be on the pitch of cynical foul on him. back a in the 1st half still, francis 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 store. france through to the last 16 will be seeing a lot more of impact. okay. and it's crunch time for germany when they face painting grew p. e. later today, we start to adobe sports correspondent jonathan harding, who is in doha,

and asked him what a loss would mean for the janitor when it will be a disaster. and maybe to avoid an even more obvious or clear terms. if germany dealers to spain, they will have the same number of points as hosts cutter after 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 campaign, 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 afield. 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 the game. and i was, i did on the spot correspondent jonathan harding until has speaking to us earlier. finally, every november, thousands of tourists gather in loper bori thailand. north of bangkok they come to
