the w ah ah ah ah, business dw live from berlin, a wave of protests unlike any scene in china recently, thousands of demonstrations against harsh cove at 19 restrictions breakout

nationwide and they include calls for president, she jin thing to step down. also coming up surviving torture in ukraine. we have an exclusive report about 2 citizens of cassandra, and there are deals as prisoners of the russian occupying force and at the world. cup and cuts are germany, restore some pride and keep their hopes of the next round alive. because food hook scores that equalize a hard fought one old rule with spain, but germany still have a tough battle ahead to qualify for the knockout stage. ah, i'm good. how about as well come to the program? large protests have had taken place across a china over bay jenks cove 19 measures rallies on defiance of chinese authorities

. and the sheer scale of the demonstrations is rare. some protesters even cold for president. she can paint to resign, but there's no sign. the harsh restrictions of his 0 coven policy will be lifted anytime soon. ah, this is an extraordinary moment in china, and it's spreading further. i'm wider in cities right across the country. hundreds and taking to the streets. angry and fed up with the government say, wrote current policy. oh, here in the capital beijing, they lined the banks of it for several hours, many holding up blank pieces of paper. now a symbol for this growing unrest and an act of defiance in the face of chinese censorship. we want basic human rights. we want to freedom one, a free our country from this on fire. absurd regulation in shanghai,

another outpouring of anger and something difference that will concern not only china's ruling party, but also it's leda. oh my god, amongst the crowd, one protest the shouts out. down with she jing ping. c then they replying, unison stepped down, it's dangerous to criticize the government and his leader here and such a public challenge is extremely rare. oh to, there's no surprise when police move in that detain, protested. oh, these latest protest was sparked by the deaths of 10 people in a fire at an apartment building in the city of a rum. she with accusations that strict code restrictions were to blame vigils to remember those who died there. and now at the heart of these growing demonstrations,

we have human dignity, we're humans, we are chinese, and we need constitutionality. oh, this is uncharted territory for china's leader. the question now, how much longer can he hold on to his 0 cobit policies in the face of such public pressure? ah, oh journalists, foggy and freshman i'll joins us from a beijing. foggy of the day after a weekend of protests was the atmosphere like him begging yeah, i was just at the protest site where yesterday i'm at least several hundreds, possibly thousands of gather. now it seems calm, but there is a police presence. some are in uniform, summer, and plain clothes and as soon as they identified me as a journalist, they asked me to leave. but yet, and shanghai they were already to arrest, according to news agencies from today. and if you want to get a glimpse about the among the people, and if you look at social media,

a lot of young chinese people, they're posting very critical videos. they're also posting videos of the protests from yesterday and the weekend. of course they get censored immediately, but then they find other ways to, you know, voice, the anger, they play with a sense of ships for example, one thing that is quite popular right now people are posting the video to the pink floyd song, another brick in the wall and in the lyrics it says we don't eat no court control and i think that captures really the state of might of many young chinese right now . so across china, how's the government, how are authorities reacting to these protests? well, it really depends. yesterday in beijing the police was rather cautious because i mean the demonstrations were peaceful and we don't know if many large arrests. but in shanghai it was different. there was at least a full bus of a police bus. crowded with people who got arrested and also one, b,

b. c. journalist got arrested, not only detained. he was also beaten down. it's really a new law. and how the, you know, security apparatus treats foreign correspondents here. and i think the difference is that in shanghai, some protesters have an open, the demanded shooting pink to step down. he and been ging of the demonstrators were more cautious. they made it. they also made very critical slogans. for example, the country belongs to the people, not to the party, etc, but they did not specify a specifically criticized seating thing, but definitely the leadership show people are it because in the previous years, of course we had a protestant there, but they were always localized for example, labor protest or student protest. now we have a broad distance that, you know, has spread to all over the country. basically, it's very risky, of course, to do these kind of protests what kind of repercussions are the protesters facing what you could get arrested and really quite easily in the previous months. we've

seen, especially during the pandemic that you know, even critical of social media postings, could get you into trouble, including, you know, visits from the police and possibly detained. and we know of many cases of human rights lawyers, you know, just disappearing for, for a long time. so if you would demonstrate openly on the street that is very risky and you could pay it with your freedom by the mother in virginia. thank you very much. 5 and to ukraine. our president vladimir zalinski has urged his country to prepare for a new wave of russian air strikes. as long as they have rockets, they won't rest. zelinski said in a video address, referring to russia's military and it's a tax of critical infrastructure. there's been no russian response to his claims last week intensified russian strike subjected ukrainians to the most acute power cut since the war began. as of sunday, millions in and around the capital keep still have little electricity or heat

permit freezing temperatures. now my research suppression, it is the head of the humanitarian aid organization international rescue committee in ukraine, and she joins me from a it's in central your primary care. what is life like for the millions of ukrainians facing constant power to just water and heat disruptions due to these russian attacks m. thank you very much for having me. yes it. the situation on the ground here in ukraine is incredibly concerning and alarming as a result, as you said, of these attacks on civilian infrastructure and on the civilian power grid, millions of people throughout the country, not just around keith and but also in the east and south east are without power, without electricity, without water, and without heating, and in the most affected areas in the east and in the southeast. many people have, have been without the services already for months. winter has arrived at

temperatures are below 0. we've seen the 1st snowfall and temperatures are expected to drop to minus 20 degrees in some parts of the country. and it's important to remember that when to last, until march here in ukraine. so we still have another 5 and a half months of bitterly cold weather ahead of us. now the un estimates that there are already 6500000 people internally displaced within ukraine and without power or heating. we fear that there could be another huge displacement of people, as people leave their homes in search of want for safety. now, last week present, lensky has actually criticized the mayor of chief, saying he wasn't doing enough to help people all forwards his local authorities overwhelmed by this situation. well, the biggest problem here is the continued attacks on civilians on civilian infrastructure and the civilian power grid. and heating systems and i think the estimate now is that about 50 percent of the power,

good and heating stations have been damaged. and with each new attack, the percentage growth and the blackouts are likely to be longer and more widespread . you authorities on the suppliers are trying their very best to, to reconnect people as quickly as possible. and, but the stream on the system is really huge. to give you an example yesterday when i was working, nothing it see, i mean i'm in the ne, per actually and, and walking yesterday. am on the streets, complete darkness, and no street lighting very few lights in the windows. the sun goes down here about 330 in the afternoon. already. i've seen people queuing for water people queuing to charge their phones. now having a charge for and it's important to stay in contact with family members, but also to receive important safety information from the authorities. now millions of ukrainians have already fled the war and you mentioned earlier, do you think that the rational talks on this critical infrastructure will lead to

many more people in the country? well, yes, that, that is one of one of the main concerns of the humanitarian community. at the moment, and as i mentioned, 6500000 people are displaced within the country. but without power heating, they could be many more people. and it's, it's incredibly hard to estimate how many people that can be who may be forced to leave their homes in search of warmth and safety. and whether that means moving to other parts of ukraine or whether it means crossing the border into neighboring countries. it's very difficult to tell and but the priority of the humanitarian here in country remains timely and critical assistance and, and what can make it to stay and deliver the essential and vital sense. is that people who need on the ground morris yes, perfect. with the international rescue committee. ukraine. thank you. thank.

now fighting is far from over in the southern city of got us on. it's back. honda ukrainian control russian forces continue to show the city from across the neighbor river. at the same time, people there coming to grips with the past 8 months of russian occupation did abuse correspondence and nick connelly met with 2 residents who survived weeks of torture warning. some viewers might find the descriptions of violence in this report, upsetting the doing for food, huddling around the few working why fi hotspots carrying on his bike to shilling all around them. this is what every day life looks like. you have some government key. it was people to evacuate 2 areas of power, water away from the russian guns. the new and victoria state put during a long months of russian occupation. not about to go anywhere. now. they might seem

like old friends, the only mentioned september, the seller of this unremarkable office book as prisoners and yeah, but those are valuable. forced their way into flat and my grandma started screaming, they let her off into the bathroom, the sooner a bag of my head. and they just started beating me over and over. who's your president, who's your president, you're coming with us. it's gonna be a lot of fun. the neil had subscribed to a pro ukrainian chat group and telegram enough. okay, sounds increasingly anxious. reginald spies to come off to him. victoria had been volunteering, taking food people in need. when a group came into suspicion for contacts in government control territory, when the russians rated her home, they found ukrainian flags on the souvenirs and postcards feasible char, i guess that means your enemy doesn't take the interrogator asked me. i agreed with him. but what do people do to the enemies? he asked the killed them. i replied that you're right. you said they talked to them

1st. i didn't think i'd get out of there alive. during the new had no idea where it was had been kept there. he realized it's spent all those weeks in the middle of have songs and they recognize pictures of their basement shad online . we tried to go inside, but the police isn't letting anyone in the risk of russian mines. it's just too high. all denise victoria ever saw was there so soon as they left it, there were captain hoods, they kept as determined to remain unseen. but as little as they could see, they could hear more than they wanted. 2 of us, the worst was hearing your screams running. i was the loudest in our basement. you're in the interrogations here with all the cells. good here, yelping. i was unbearable. the men's shouts didn't travel quite as far. but when you started, all i could do was pray that they'd go easy. all you knew of was all quite, ah, was up within the flat my last interrogation, my hands were bound. the pain from the electric shocks was so bad that i didn't

even notice that i pulled a nail out. and all of a sudden i could feel the blood dripping my hands my trousers when they were all covered in blood. the lead, but the most terrifying moment was still to come of 2 weeks without news while the inmates was suddenly driven out to the city. that gods telling them it was time to say to press on the file so that they made every one record a short video. you had to say your name list, your date of birth and saying to the camera that you were alive and well, for a moment i was really worried. what do they need this for? which it was not? did they need an alibi? and when you brush geffrey to seal, and they were told to close our eyes and count to a 100, but instead of the shots that expected, they heard the captain driving away without them me after that. but that the likelihood their russian kept his blood faced justice is slim, the torch all the evidence as they left. at least one good thing has come of it all . victoria tells me we'd done being scared

with an increasing number of russian attacks on ukraine's infrastructure. many european countries are preparing for another influx of ukrainian refugees, the city of berlin, for example, us taken in nearly $90000.00 refugees from ukraine this year and is working on more accommodation, including shoes, 10 facilities at a former airport here. local church communities are also stepping in to help. it was supposed to be emergency accommodation, but for around 30 ukrainian refugees. this is home now. the community hall of the marcus congregation in berlin. the church pays for the refugees. stay here. finding a permanent apartment in berlin is almost impossible, and now should ask her and her 8 year old daughter anastasio found a room for a few months now they had to come back. they say the dormitory almost feels like home. and the fled with her 2 children from odessa back in march. lea a be all is good. i mean, i was so scared when people in ukraine said,

you need to leave save your children. because of i was so scared to go to a foreign country where i don't know the language of the people, the mentality, but here we have been treated so warmly. the volunteers here have been so dedicated to helping the ukrainian refugees that the church has employed. some of them to sort through donations and groceries and help translate several are originally from russia. but here it's support in hard times that counts rather than national boundaries. and the volunteers expect a tough winter the uncovered citizen, this officers presume we have space for 80 people here. 0400 in case of a crisis and feel right. i think we're ready. oh sure. we'll give oh, old to help these people on take them in. definitely of him for of info with winter setting in berlin's government is in a race against time. for example, at this former airport, currently new arrivals from ukraine register and live here temporarily before they

can be moved on within berlin or to other german cities. to heated tents at the old airport house, $400.00 people each, but they're almost full. by the end of the year, the city plans to set up more permanent housing for an additional $10000.00 refugees on that see list list thus def, i vile goal is what people stay in this temporary housing to be short from him so that we can offer people a place to move on to my off i left the mental unbeaten can, will stand on not hanging on wednesdays, but at the moment, people have been arriving faster than we can create places for them. either shuffle couldn't come back at the marcus church community. one ukrainian family has been able to move into a permanent separate apartment after months and a tiny room with 2 infants. their mother, eula is relieved, but feeling fully at home can be hard. many of the families, relatives are still in ukraine. the damage on which adams do as much as we are living here in peace and quiet in

a wal nice place. and they are there with the trust that we still feel like we are somehow in limbo. but i am trying to live in the current reality. i'm living here with the kids, and i have to create a comfortable life for them. what lasers with the war dragging on and winter ahead . eulley as family is lucky. even now hundreds of ukrainians are stuck in a rival centers in berlin, hoping for a more permanent home at least 7 people, including a new born baby have died in a landslide on the southern italian island of is kya. rescue workers are still searching for 5 people listed as missing. the italian government has declared a state of emergency. ah, a massive landslide swept through a small town on the italian island isha. leaving behind devastation streets strewn with mud and debris

and hundreds of homes smashed with issued la la. we were hit by floods in the morning, but we ran out. it was all dark. i thought for york, the powerful landslide swept vehicles into the sea rescue work as a racing against time, desperately searching for survivors. while residents and volunteers are left trying to pick up the pieces are eligible to amboy even today, we'll clean up and then we'll see what we have to fix and try to restore everything without feeling sorry for ourselves. because that's the way it is. it's your we can't wait for help or thought are you do you know, the wide scale damage has pushed the government to call a state of emergency and announced the 2000000 euro aid program. but some residents

accused the government of not doing enough, despite knowing the island is prone to earthquakes and storms tonia alum and by it's the fault of our old politicians who didn't do the preventative work on the mountains. they cut down the trees, and this is the consequence. it already happened in 2010 when a 15 year old girl died. this time it was a catastrophe. withheld. isha is a densely populated volcanic island tourism has led to a construction boom. now clammy activist argue large scale building has reduced green spaces and trees in the region. turn out of look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. in another landslide disaster, or at least 14 people have died and cameron's capital, you're wounded. the victims had been attending a funeral ceremony. rescue teams are still searching for survivors. as dozens more are missing. a governor describes the area as dangerous and urged people to lead.

also polluting our planet now negotiators are looking to agree a new treaty to try to win the world off. it's addiction to plastic turtles getting dangerously close to plastic bags an image that has become symbolic of the world's plastic problem. and one that world leaders are hoping to put to rest negotiators from across the globe are meeting this week to work on a legally binding agreement that is hoped will curve plastic pollution including that found in the ocean, plastic as a material and the pollutant is totally trans boundaries in the last couple of years. that's been this growing recognition that we need to have something at the global level, some kind of policy instrument that's going to re capture the whole plastic lifecycle. plastic is an extremely versatile material. it is used to package food to make fabrics for our clothes, to make cosmetics, and beyond. while plastic was made in relatively small amounts in the 1950s,

production has increased exponentially. in 2010, 300000000 tons of plastic were produced. today that has grown to 400000000 tons every year. but it's also highly polluting. plastic accumulates as litter in nature. much of it ends up in landfills. micro plastics are another major source of concern. they come from rubber tires and washing synthetic fibers, and they've been found in the deepest parts of the ocean and animals. and even in human blood, recycling has long been proposed as a solution to plastic pollution companies market products on the basis that they're made from recycled plastic or can be recycled, but only around 9 percent of plastic worldwide as were cycled. it were standing in the face of years of failed voluntary commitments in the major and major multinational companies that set targets for improving recyclable, etc,

for which is same amount of plastic ease. and there's absolutely no accountability to any kind of legal framework. nations have pledged to reach an agreement on plastic by 2024. only time will tell whether will be successful or just more empty promises. and sports news and the at the football world cup and cotton, germany restored some pride after the defeat to japan by drawing a one all with spain and group e bought that will need to win their lit last game against costa rica to have any chance of qualifying for the knockout stage, spain show their intent in this game right from the start. danny homo coming close 7 minutes in. but manuel noir in gold and the crossbow both came to germany's rescue. has he flicks? i looked most dangerous from set pieces, but sadly for then, antonia roodick as header was rude out of sight. the mountains find between success

and failure into the 2nd half in spain. true 1st blood are var murata had only been on the field, 8 minutes. a typical poach is finished from him as an inspired substitution by spain coach luis enrique. but anything he can do flit can to his super sub strike had nicholas full crooked, smashed in jam. these equal, i said, was 7 minutes to go. raymond's full cred repaying flaking bucket loads for his call up to the squad. really thing for the coach who be hoping this doesn't turn out to be a temporary reprieve. after costa rica upset japan, one mill earlier in the day group e has gotten very interesting. is by germany is half for drawing, and spain only win against costa rica will do in the final game. if they're to avoid a straight, early exit from the world cup. and even then japan could still make things difficult for conflicts meant if they get a result against spain. and finally,

for many of us dancing and perfect step with one another, can be hard enough. well, how about trying it with 2000 other people with just bought these dances in venezuela? we're trying to do and break a guinness world record for the world's largest salsa dumps. it's a red casino, where couples form circles and do patterns at the same time. current record is held by spain. ah, and that say it's from me and the esteem from our love, an update for you at the top of the old ah. ah
