a ship. this rally just one of dozens that have sprayed across china. oh, 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 pulled 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 8 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 brought 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 residence and now also rising up here, they chant, lift the co would locked down. the tension with officials boils over is protested, break through a fence. the protest come just weeks after gene ping was re appointed as the country's leader for an unprecedented food. tim, his cause 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 correspond if i catch brass in beijing, he gave us the latest on the protest there and elsewhere in china. 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 protestors here have chosen exec 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, and 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 night time 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 a pandemic strategy that could already lent you in detention. i'm you 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 they unite and they see that 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 in 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 bay gene, i haven't seen many arrests so far, but i mean those, the protest 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 us briefly. they also seem a little bit fed up. i mean, i think there are other courses to even have some sympathy for the angle of the people. so right now it's relatively peaceful the big correct on has at least not yet happened to, 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 turn and some other stories making use right now. 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

a girl that was there after the occupiers left. it started to get bad her was there was not a single day without shelling ling annabelle and has one of her young a bullshit both the shelling is russia's revenge for ukraine taking back territory. moscow's troops occupied the school and town for half the year. schools did continue with lessons cushioning. jenko says at 1st he was able to teach as usual. but after the summer break, the occupies insisted on a russian curriculum. there are still russian text books in the classroom. yoga for the ocean, as i was, mike was bulletin, but the loose, i opened the geography textbook for 8 grade. the wasn't a real curriculum, but they gave us textbook slash about worship. i took a look and said no on the 1st page it said on the 21st of february 2022,

if it's time for sport, it's time for the world cup and cut. our cooperation have moved to the top of group f. thanks to a comfortable for one victory over canada who go out of the tournament. often. i'm forward andre camacho scored twice for croatia. this was his 2nd goal, gracious 3rd, on 70 minutes. when the game beyond canada's reach for a shark top of the group on 4 points, the same as morocco who upset belgium early after beating germany in their opening game, japan surprisingly lost one nail to costa rica and group e k. for fuller scored the winning goal for costa rica on 80 minutes. it was their 1st shot on target at this world cup. result keeps costa rica in the tournament making group e rather interesting. not least of all for germany because it means a defeat to spain later, when not in germany's world cup campaign. of course, germany's hoping for a wendy

w sports course by a jonathan harding is in doha. and i asked him how that costa rica result changed the nature of germany versus spain. why? you mentioned it is that it means that there are no 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 scene was had in a long while their record in tournaments is pretty dreadful. anna hensley said beforehand her 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 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 quiet setting 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 place talked after the japan gay milk. i going to why montoya 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 tournament before. 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 there's 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 both. i got the result that they need. 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. we're gonna leave it there for now. up next is our technology show shift to stay tuned for that. and we'll see here, back at the top of the hour from her, i'm just kinda, i want that tag and in the end is a meeting you on what i love to see you anymore. we will send you back. are you familiar with this with the smugglers with lions and.
