a symbol of the biggest 3 yet to china's leadership blank pieces of paper held aloft by protesters like here in beijing. a silent rejection of censorship. this rally just one of dozens that have sprayed across china. oh, just hours early, a huge crowds turned out in shanghai in a re, a defiance of chinese authorities. years of pandemic locked downs have pushed people here to the limit. hundreds face down police and hold on president gigi and ping to step down many in the crowd, refusing to hide their identities, despite potentially severe consequences for their disobedience scuffles eventually broke out with offices warning the crowds to move back as police reinforcements

arrived. a woman can be heard yelling, you were employees, you have food to eat and money to make. what about us? it's been 3 years. saturdays protest came to a heed following a candlelight vigil for the victims of an apartment 5. it's shaken the country. at least teen died in the blaze which broke out on thursday and the northwestern city of odom. she many have blamed the deaths on lockdown restrictions, which they say hemp at rescue effects with some lug was banned from leaving their homes for over 3 months. odom, she residents and now also rising up here, they chant lift the co would locked down. the tension with officials boils over is protesters break through a fence. the protest come just weeks after eugene ping was re appointed as the country leading for an unprecedented food. tim,

his cause of restrictions as some of the harshest globally, with official sticking to a 0 kind of policy, while much of the rest of the world tries to coexist with the virus. but despite the public backlash, g shows no signs of backing down. less get more on the quite remarkable events happening across china, 5 in country. he's a journalist and based in beijing fabi in what is the latest where you are at the moment? yeah, i'm in beijing very close to the embassy area. also the area where many foreign correspondents live and i think it's not a coincidence that the protesters have chosen exactly this area behind. you're behind me, you can see a lot of police cars and at least several thousands. i would guess approaches to say they're clustered in 2 separate groups. it is peaceful, but they are shouting really very critical slogans. for example, the country belongs to the people, not to the party, et cetera. it's really quite remarkable. i'm mostly young people here. 11

a m in the nighttime and still a lot of people here and it's not escalating, it seems peaceful, but also the moot is quite, quite explosive. i think many people are very frustrated. you can give us some context because we've seen protests all around the world for lots of issues, but especially cove. it what makes these so remarkable in china? well, i mean, in china, if you post something critical about the government's pandemic strategy that could already lent you in detention. i'm, you can get into trouble and to go out on the street and publicly voice those critical comments. that is really, that comes at a very, very great risk and danger. i mean, this is remarkable. those protests that are happening in so many cities at the same time unfolding that has not happened since the ninety's i mean, in several decades. and really the people that unite and they see that, you know, alone, they cannot do much. but in a mass in a group, they feel much stronger. it's really quite

a historic experience. in my opinion. i mean this what we see and beijing has not happened in many, many years. and one can only think of those tenement square protests from so many decades ago where the chinese authorities responded very harshly, including with tanks. however, authorities been responding to these protests so far a little bit cautious, but i mean, it's really too early to tell because in shanghai, at least one big police bus has been filled up with people who got arrested. he and beijing, i haven't seen many arrests. so far, but i mean those protests are still ongoing. we have to see in the next several days whether there will be a big crack down. but to me, to be honest, many of the police personal that i've seen and also, you know, talk to a receipt. they also seem a little bit fed up. i mean, i think they're rather cautious. they even have some sympathy for the angle of people. so right now it's relatively peaceful the big correct on has at least not yet happens, but i feel for the worst of course we're going to leave it there for now. but

thanks very much correspond if i've been cut in beijing with the latest. and now the latest on the war in ukraine authority say days of heavy shelling by russian forces have killed a lease. 32 people in the southern region of her son, long lines of traffic have built up a civilians are leaving the area looking for safety, ukrainian forces liberated house own 2 weeks ago. moscow was since kept up a relentless garage primarily targeting power and water supplies. marina miran is with the center for military ethics at kings college london. we spoke to her earlier about the impact that russian attacks on ukraine's critical infrastructure chapter. of course, obviously the oath 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 without power, without water. 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, 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 turn out of some of the stories making news around the world. aid workers in the

tea gray region have accused allies of the ethiopian government of looting and carrying out mass detentions the reports have raised fears of renewed conflict between the government into guy and forces. just 3 weeks after they signed a cease fire ending 2 years of war. as well as 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. united states eat some oil sanctions on venezuela. the response, emergency workers on the italian island of india have recovered the body of a child, as they search for multiple people still missing after saturday's landslides. at least one other person has been confirmed, killed in the slide, which was caused by heavy rain. nasa's latest cargo ship has successfully reached the international space station. the and crude space ex dragon is carrying 3 and

a half tons of fresh supplies, including new solar wings, equipment for scientific experiments, and even a little tasty treat for the i assess crew ice cream. and looking over at the world cup and cutter. a big shock and group aft were morocco as be in belgium, to nil substitute abdulla home. it's a very open to scoring when his free chick went straight in on 73 minutes and other sub a korea up calliah made the game safe from morocco, an injury time to stun belgium's collection of stars and put themselves in the driving seat for qualification. that's not the only upset japan last one. neil to costa rica group, e. fisher fuller scored the winning goal for costa rica, 80 minutes. it was our 1st shot on target at this world cup. the result keeps goes to rita in the tournament, making groupie very interesting. not least of all for germany, because it means

a defeat for spain to spain later would not. and germany's world cup campaign. and let's get more exactly on that with you to be sports course by a john on the heart a. he's in doha, jonathan. good to see you so that costa rica results. what exactly does that mean for germany as it chews up for a game against spain? why you mentioned it is that it means that they're not out of the competition tonight. and maybe germany's most popular holiday destination next year will be costa rica because who saw that result coming. i think her germany going to be delighted to the pressure is often somewhat, nevertheless, having lost her opening game. a good result tonight would be the best news of this team has had in a long while their record in tournaments is pretty dreadful. and nancy flick said beforehand today will be the day that they find out whether they're still an elite team. so i guess it's time to answer that question. well, you've been watching germany during their training session. so maybe you could answer that question. what do you make of the team this year?

well, i probably wouldn't call them elite if you're us, you me. that's the honest a review that i would give this team. they've been good, they've been bad, but they've probably leveled out to being fairly average. and that's really the big concern that will be an inquest after this tournament. however far they go, i get the feeling that there are questions to be asked about. striker's wing backs, defender certain positions, or lack of quality. the mood in the team certainly feels a little bit tense. they were sloppy and training the day before today's game. i have my concerns about the future of this team in the the way that is going in terms of development. but tonight, a positive result would go a long way to quieting all of that. and addition to those fundamentals, as lot of questions about the team dynamics, i was interpersonal diamond dynamics on the germany's team. has that been affecting performance? do you think? i think to a certain degree, there's certainly an element listening to the way that the plays talked after the japan gay milk. i going to why montoya, they did sort of talk about this lack of quality and this lack of desire to want

the ball and be present in certain situations. so you do get the feeling that there is a split between the tea may be also a generational split between the slightly older players who've been at major tournaments before in the young ones who have less pressure on their shoulders because they know they have a future in the team, so that does feel like as a division, they're curious to see how that plays out in the field. and obviously with all of this issue around the protest and the arm band that's obviously paid somewhat of a role in their minds as well. they lost to japan because they play football, the keith and i, i good for vote. i get the result the days of fundamentals right there. don't play poorly play. well, of course a lot of distractions in this world cup jonathan harding for d. w. sports. thanks very much. finally, every november thousands of taurus gather in the bori thailand. it's just north of bangkok. they're coming to a temple to attend a huge feast of fruit and sweets and about $4000.00 monkeys. no, they're not part of the feast. the animals are regarded as a symbol of the region. they climb over some visitors at times,
