thank you, made a change. ah you revealed this week on d, w ah ah, this is dw, use life from berlin, a wave of protests unprecedented in modern china. dozens of demonstrations breakout nationwide including in beijing and shanghai, as anger flared over ongoing covey restrictions in a rail outpouring of descent. hundreds call for president gigi paying to step down . also coming up as russia continues,

its relentless bombardment of cranes recently liberated parasol region. civilians are packing up and leaving their homes in search of safety and encounter leona messy turns on the magic as argentina beat mexico and get their wealth cut back on track. ah, hello monica jones, welcome to the program. unrest is growing and china over the country strict kobe measures. fresh protests have broken out in major cities with hundreds rallying at beijing's elite sing schwab university chanting. we want freedom many also holding up a blank sheets of paper in a symbolic protest against state censorship. more demonstrations have also been reported in shanghai following clashes,

this police overnight. public anger has flared after a deadly apartment block flat fire with many blaming and ongoing lock down for hampering rescue efforts. chinese officials have defended their c mccully policy despite for growing public backlash. not only i spoke to correspondent fabian catch met in beijing and asked him for more details about these protests here. we're basically seeing the biggest protests in china since at least in 19 nineties. it's really remarkable. and in the night, from saturdays to sunday, the several hundreds of young people in shanghai gathered. they did not only voice their criticism against the 0 colbert policy, but also against seizing ping's rule. they were shouting down with she to ping down with their party. i mean, that's really unheard of and you have a protests in basically all of the country. i give you one noticeable example he and bridging at the really very prestigious chink,

while university. i'm also several hundreds, maybe even more than a $1000.00 students are gathering, also shouting slogans, demanding freedom. and it's really, i mean that they are very courage us there. 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 a willing now to defy the regime to be courageous as you just set yet many have had enough. they feel also um, like they have nothing to lose, i would say they are different motifs especially that say migrant workers for them, the locked downs are an existential economic thread. so read, they have nothing to lose for the students. for example, ching, for 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 and her in 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 down. 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 have 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 or, you know, the endless repressions, the civilians that know came during the per pandemic, but was also an observable before i think they want a different society. i'm sure about that. but also from any other people,

it's really mostly the endless covered lockdown said, you know, am herb a brings their patients to an end, or he, in a begging 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 local neighborhood committees who abuse their power. they wanted 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 father and that is sort of obviously in out makes you wonder why is eugene king insisting on these larry 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,

the government has put itself in a dead end. we have for more than 2 years, an endless propaganda telling that there's no target of tuesday recovered, that china is the only place that managed to, you know, em contained the virus. and now we see that this, the strategy is not sustainable anymore. and they don't know how to change in, in, in the last months achieve for more than a year. they're so much our resources in endless testing and our current facilities and be both failed to start a nationwide vaccine campaign. and 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 look now at some of the other stories making news around the welt tie. once president

a sy in when has stood down as leader of the islands ruling democratic progressive party after it suffered it's worse to local election defeat in decades. cy presented to 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. venezuela's, government and opposition have reached a preliminary agreement to find a way out of the country's political and economic crisis. it aims to ensure that billions of frozen government funds will be released to help fund social programs. the united states east, some oil sanctions on venezuela in response emergency crews are searching for multiple people still missing. after a landslide on the italian island of isca, at least one person was killed in a slide, which was triggered by heavy rain blocked road and bad weather, have hampered rescue efforts. and out of the latest on the war in ukraine,

authorities say days of heavy shelling by russian forces have killed at least 32 people in the southern region of her son. long lines of traffic have built up a civilians to leave the area in search of safety, ukrainian forces liberated house on just 2 weeks ago. moscow has since kept up a relentless barrage, primarily targeting power and water supplies. dr. marina mule is a research fellow in the center of a military essex at kings college in london. and early i asked her, what sort of an impact russian attacks are having on ukraine's critical infrastructure? 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 land ski 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 a elena 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, 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 it. stocks, for instance, the life of is calendar 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 sync if there is a bigger escalation was neat, or it will still needs or missiles. so right now, it seems that russia is switching to cheaper missiles. it's using error. the fans, missiles from its asked $300.00 systems which are not that precise and it has no shortage of those. and it also has a deal with a ran to replenish missiles. it's using drones to supplement missiles is also going to import a $110.00. and so for our missiles from iran, as well as oratory shells from north korea. so it is preparing for

a long war. all right, and maria, me hall the from the center of military ethics at kings college in london. thank you so very much for your assessments. thank you. ah, to the welcome now and on his action. so costa rica be to japan one nill in group e. japan. were unable to build on their shock when over germany, as costa rica is keisha fuller broke the deadlock late in the 81st minutes. it was his country's 1st shot on target at the tournament in katara the result, megs, ruby, very interesting. but it still crunch time for germany when they faced spain, and group e later today was about to r d. w. sports corresponded jonathan harding, who is in doha, and asked him what a loss would mean for the germany team. it will be a disaster and maybe have an end even more obvious or clear terms. if germany due

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. that 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 the game this evening. i was, i already w suppose, corresponded jonesal, harding and doe has speaking to us earlier. argentina redeemed themselves after their shock loss to saudi arabia by beating mexico to nail on saturday are to acquire 1st half argentina, superstar leona messy burst into life and put them ahead with a precisely targeted strike. and a wonderful goal from an super none. this rounded off wind,
