struggling with the physical and emotional burden of putting their city back together. and another big shock at the world cup and cut our morocco stun belgium's golden generation. it's their chance making the knock out stage, put the belgians in jeopardy. ah am i am cropped welcome to the program. large protests have broken out in several cities across china, over the country stricken on going covey 19 measures. there were rare and dangerous defiance of chinese authorities. some protesters are calling for president, she duping to resign, but his 0 cobit policy doesn't appear to be going anywhere. oh, they've become a symbol of the biggest 3 yet to china's leadership. blank pieces of paper held

aloft by proteins 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 prison, gigi and ping to step down many in the crowd refusing to hide their identities despite potentially severe consequences for their disobedience. 6 scaffolds 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 heat 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 residents and now also rising up here, they chant lift the co would lock down. the tension with officials boils over is protesters break through a fence. the protests come just weeks after jean ping was re appointed as the country's leader for an unprecedented 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. despite the public backlash, g shows no signs of backing down from beijing corresponded phobia clutch mer gave us the latest on the protest going on where he was. yeah, i am and begging, very close to the embassy area. also the area where many foreign correspondents live and i think that'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 clustering to several 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 am 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 append to make 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 it's 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 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, that's really too early to tell because in shanghai, at least one big police bus has been filled up with people who got arrested here in beijing. i haven't seen many arrests. so far, but i mean those to 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 that rather cautious to even have some sympathy for the anger 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 by being cut in beijing with the latest turning over. now to some other stories making use right now as well as government and opposition, averaged a preliminary agreement to find the way out of the country's political and economic

crisis. and aims to ensure that billions of dollars and frozen government funds will be released to help fund social programs, united states east, some oil sanctions on venezuela. in response, 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 a tasty treat for the i assess crew ice cream. rescuers are searching for 10 people still missing after a landslide on the italian island of excuse, at least 3 people were killed when heavy rain triggered the slide, the government has declared a state of emergency. but bad weather has hampered rescue efforts. cut off supplies from the mainland. long lines of traffic have built up in southern ukraine's hassan region as civilians leave the area in search of safety. authority say russian

shelling has killed least 32 people in recent days. moscow is kept up attacks despite withdrawing its forces on the ground. ukrainian authorities have begun reasserting control over areas they've liberated. the clean up task is enormous, as is the emotional burden. our porter visited could be honest in the countries east to see 1st hand what people there are dealing with in the wake of russian occupation. everybody needs to pitch in. andrey could need jenko, teaches geography and information technology. but right now he's helping to patch up high school. number one in cooper dance. russian missiles damaged the buildings. what a girl was there after the occupiers left it started to get bad her was there was not a single day without shelling, linea unable. and as one of her younger bullshit,

both the shelling is rushes 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 occupiers insisted on a russian curriculum. there are still russian text books in the classroom. yoga for those as i was my quote for the return of the lives i opened the geography textbook for 8 grade. there 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. he let the latimer put in, signed a decree by the recognition of the so called people's republics, little of don't ask a new hands for so am i supposed to sit there and teach that?

that was wonderful. and that had been a moisture edelton city. think of the russians occupied could be asked on the 3rd day of the war and controlled the town for more than 6 months. daily life is difficult. there is no running water and power outages of frequent. the question of who collaborated with the russians also looms the newly installed ukrainian town administrator is clear. we are short on look at it, but i saw it on her them. if we talk about doctors they took the hippocratic label, you have to help anybody who's in need rep from a lot of the co would. but these people had a choice. this one on the market, they could either cooperate or not. well, most of us will a fact. there were many teachers who quit after the russians arrived with miss walker. but without avail, one of those who took part in training by the russians or who received payment, sir, under the spotlight,

cousin jenko is convinced he will not be charged. he was sent here by another school and carried on getting his ukrainian salary. but he does not judge his colleagues wondered what they level was, what they okay. typically the holy needs to have to survive on his what most of them had not received a wage since april had. they had to continue living was a lot that some had parents to care for old people. what get known leaking good ukraine's secret service is investigating, and the teachers cases will come to court. difficult questions of guilt and morality. we'll preoccupy people here for a long time to come. ah, to the world cup and cotton now in a big shock and group f for a morocco have been belgium to nil. substitute abil. hm. it's

a very open. this scoring when his free kick went straight in, i'm 70, i'm 73 minutes. and another sub's at korea above made the game safe from morocco, an injury time stunning belgium's collection of stars and sport. chaos in the belgian capital in brussels. that's where celebrations boil over into violence. police used water cannon and tear gas after people torched vehicles smashed windows and through fireworks. they are brussels, told people to avoid the city center. croatia moved to the top of group f. thanks to a comfortable for one victory over canada. go out of the tournament, often. heim forward. andre komatt ich scored. chew twice for croatia. this was his 2nd goal and gracious 3rd of 70 minutes. one of the game beyond canadas reach gray shar, top of the group on 4 points,

the same as morocco after beating germany in their opening game, japan lost one nail to costa rican group e. k. sure, fuller scored the winning goal for costa rica on 80 minutes. it was their 1st shot on target at this world cup. the result keeps costa rica in the tournament, making her be very interesting and they were worthy winter's d. w. sports dress harrington told us early. oh, close to rico's victory. i think was deserved. they had to even punch their ticket . they had to play a play off to even get in to guitar. and when you, when you look at how they were beat up with their opening match, you know, they become the 1st team in the. busy woke up since 1958 to concede 7 goals and turn around and become victorious. you know, a gets a team has been looking pretty good, you know, up into that surprised by fuller, the lowest. he goes that the have to disprove in the world that it only takes one moment to change your faith in that now you spoke about group e, be more interesting. obviously it's somewhat levels the playing field. of course

they have things like goal difference to be concerned about, but nonetheless, i mean, you look at the enthusiasm and fuller's face after celebrating everyone in the stands cheering for goes to rica. yeah, i think that's what the football tournament is all about, and it's nice to see some unlikely outcomes. final, you better watch out, you better not pout. the end of the pandemic restrictions means the return of a frightful christmas time tradition for one town in austria. a parade of terrifying monsters. take a look. took to the streets of holborn, north of vienna. the organizers are keeping up with regional folklore. that tells the tale of cramp us. now who is cramping, a devious santa side kick, who punishes naughty children. the real baddies and even find themselves carted off . scary stuff. don't forget you can always get
