ah, blue ah ah ah, this is dw news life from berlin. a wave of protests unlike any scene in china recently. dozens of demonstrations against cash cove at 19 restrictions breakout nationwide. they include calls for president,

she didn't pink to step down. also coming on surviving torture in ukraine. we have an exclusive report about to citizen. so of course on. and they're all deals as prisoners of the russian occupying force and at the world cup and cut off germany, restore some pride and keep their hopes for the next round alive. make us feel cook's goals their equalizer in a hard fought one old role with spain. bob, germany is still a tough battle ahead to qualify for the not called stage. ah, i'm glad else as well come to the program. calm has now returned to the streets of several chinese cities following large scale protests against the government. strict with 19 measures in shanghai,

there's been an increase police presence on the streets this morning. authorities, they're also preparing for the possibility of mol, protests, erecting barriers in places where people have gathered overnight. rallies are a rare show of defiance against chinese authorities. with some protest as even calling for president, she didn't ping to reside, but there is no side of the harsh restrictions of his 0 cove. it policy will be lifted any time 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, save out current policy. oh, here in the capital, beijing, the line, the bank of america 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, wanna free our country from this on fire. absurd regulation in shanghai, another outpouring of anger and something different that will concern not only china's ruling party but also its leader. 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 and detain, protested. oh, these latest protest was off by the deaths of 10 people in

a fire at an apartment building in the city of her room. she, with accusations that strict coven 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. this is uncharted territory for china's leader. the question now, how much longer can he hold on to 0 cobit policies in the face of such public pressure? earlier i spoke to journalist fabia freshman in beijing and he described to me the atmosphere there after a weekend of protests. yeah, i was just at the protest site were yesterday and at least several hundreds, possibly thousands have gathered. 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 there were already to arrest, according to news agencies from to day. and if you want to get a glimpse about the roots among the people, and if you look at social media, a lot of young, a 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're find other ways to, you know, voice, the anger they play with the sensor ships, for example, one theme 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 latch arrests,

but in shanghai was different. or 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 protest opened 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 criticize seating thing. but definitely the leadership should be worried because in the previous years, of course, we had a protest here and there, but there were always localize, 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 seen, especially during the pandemic that you know, even critical 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 anchorage mother in virginia. thank you very much. bringing kevin slayton, he is working on the china descent monitor for freedom house. that's nonprofit organization. and he joins me from type a, in taiwan. kevin, china is notorious for his lack of freedom of expression. have these latest protests that she has gala, them surprised you. i think that the connectivity between the protest,

the, the quick sort of rising up of the movement in so many different places that this is a, this is unique. but i think something, you know, we run this project called the child that, that monitor that tracks protests in china over the past several months. it's something that maybe not surprising is that chinese people do that. and they're willing to speak up for things for justices around them. and i think that's something that has been around for a while. and cove it has been galvanizing increasingly more and more people come restrictions. i've been galvanizing more and more beautiful to speak out. but with this, with this movement, we see sort of a coalescence that's great and, and that's what the party i think sees as a breath linking in the vocal, is ation between different groups and different location. of course these proteins were triggered by protests against the, the covert 19 restrictions,

but they also directed against the chinese state and party leadership. how firm do spec them to be in that crack down. one thing i clarify that there is a sort of a unified targeting of the party that that's if you look at all the different protests sort of going out of the past 3 days that popped up some. but it's not necessarily the thing that's unifying and galvanizing all people to go out on the street. it's more of a sense of seeing a blues as one of the protesters if that ends up losing their freedom from constantly being under different lockdown. but that said, there have been quite a few people who have made more political demands or criticism of the party leadership and susan thing himself or the one hardy regime. and i think that that makes it even more urgent for the one part is they they already sent a threat from mobilization, as i said. and that's something that it's always been

a goal, the party is to try to be mobilized like this. but when that mobiles ation and that, and that turns towards their legitimacy. certainly they're going to go into overdrive and i think that's what we're starting to see with the overwhelming police force and the repression on the street as well as a ramping up a censorship online. you think that protests will grow in size? i think in the short term, unfortunately, given the long long period of time that the government has built up its ability to suppress the voices of its people and the ability of people to organize. i think in the short term, we're probably going to see a lot at least relative to the past few days. but one thing that i really like to emphasize that one thing that we're pretty sure about the most, there's some underlying concessions made to change. the most common grievance,

which is that people just feel like they've been under the strict social controls for years now, particularly as it relates to coven, but the need may be another way as well, unless some concessions are made. to some extent the grievances are going to remain, the party cannot flow out. i cannot swell the grievances of people that are in their mind, even if they can stop them from going on the street. and i think people are going to find ways in the future. even if in the short term they're able to, to put down or to disrupt this one movement. thank you very much, kevin slayton, they're from freedom us. thank you. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. at least 14 people have died in a landslide and camera rooms capital one day. the victims have been attending a funeral ceremony. rescue teams are still searching for survivors of thousands

more. i'm missing. the governor described the area as dangerous and urged people to leave shoes. crowds turned out at rio de janeiro, copa cabana to celebrate gay price. 27th grade took place after 2 year delay due to the coven 19 pandemic. this years motto is courage. to be happy. to ride groups violence against brazil's l g. b t q. community has risen significantly in the past 2 years. ukraine's president vladimir polanski 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 on critical infrastructure. there's been no russian response to his claims. last week intensified russians. dr. subjected ukrainians to the most acute power cut since the war began. as of sunday,

millions in and around the capital keeps still had little electricity or heat. in freezing temperature, a fighting is far from over in the southern city of kept sun, though it's back on the ukrainian control, russian forces continue to shell, the city from across the ne pro river. at the same time, people there are coming to grips with the past 8 months of russian occupation did. obvious correspondent knits connolly met with 2 residents who survived weeks of torture and a warning. some viewers might find the descriptions of violence in this report, upsetting during for food, huddling around the few working y fi hotspots carrying on in spite of the shelling all around them. this is what every day life looks like and have san goldman. keith was people to evacuate 2 areas of power and water away from the russian guns on the

new in victoria state, put during 8 long months of russian occupation and not about to go anywhere. now, they might seem like old friends, the only met is september. the seller of this unremarkable of his look as prisoners . and yet those of either forced their way into her flat. my grandma started screaming, they let her off into the bathroom soon at 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 until i miss the neil had subscribe to appro ukrainian chuck group on telegram enough for her son's increasingly anxious russian occupies to come off to him. victoria had been volunteering, taking food to people in need. when a group came into suspicion for contacts in government control territory, even when the russians rated her home, he found ukrainian flags, army souvenirs and postcards. reasonable char, i guess that means your enemy doesn't. at the interrogator asked me, i agreed with him. but what do people do to their enemies?

he asked, they killed them. i replied, that you are right. he said, but they tortured them, fascinated with i didn't think i'd get out of there alive. i do a one in the home to land during the new had no idea where it was that been kept there. he realized it spent all those weeks in the middle of hudson and they recognized pictures of their basement shed online. we tried to go inside, but the police isn't letting any one in the risk of russian mines is just too high . haul denila victoria ever saw, was there so as soon as they left it, they were kept in 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. you screams lightning, i was the loudest in our basement. you're in the interrogation. see of what all the cells could hear 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,

what was in the pat my last interrogation, my hands were bound. the pain from the electric shocks was so bad that i didn't even notice that i'd pulled a nail out. but all of a sudden i could feel the blood dripping my hands my trousers. they were all covered in blood than me. 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 guards telling them, it was time to say that press on the side of the that they made every one record a short video you had to say your name, 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 when she was? did they need an alibi? and when you brush geffrey at the ceiling, they were told to close their eyes and count to a 100. but instead of the shots that expected, they heard they kept as driving away without them me. after that, the likelihood their russian kept his low face justice is slim, the torch of the evidence as they left. at least one good thing has come of it all

. victoria tells me we've done being scared now with an increasing number of russian attacks on ukraine's infrastructure. many european countries are now preparing for an influx of ukrainian refugees. the city of berlin, for example, has already taken in nearly $90000.00 refugees from ukraine this year. it's working on more accommodation, including huge tent facilities at a former airport. local church communities, 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. really a be all is good. i mean, i was so scared when people in ukraine said, you need to leave save your children. that is why 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 student, 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, we will give oh old to help these people and take them in. definitely of him for help 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. well that's the list. this does differ vile donors with people's 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 love the mental unbeaten can, will stand on not hanging in wednesday that 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 or one of them to do as much as we are

living here in peace and quiet in a wal nice place. and they are there with the just, 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 arrival 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 isca rescue workers are still searching for 5 people listed as missing italian government has declared state of emergency o, a massive landslide swept through a small town on the italian island esquire,

leaving behind devastation streets strewn with mud and debris and hundreds of homes, smashed them. when he issued nella, we were hit by flood than 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 says get your, we can't wait for help or thought are you, do you know, the wide skill 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 element 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 dishes the consequence. already happened in 2010 when a 15 year old girl died. this time it was a catastrophe without escape is a densely populated. volcanic island tourism has led to a construction boom and climate activists argue large scale building has reduced green spaces and trees in the region. ah, at the football, well cup and cut our germany restored some pra. it after the defeat of japan by drawing one all with spain and group e, but they still need to in their last game against costa rica to have any chance of

qualifying for the knockout stage. spain so dare intent in this game right from the start. danny almo, coming close, 7 minutes in, but manuel noir and gold, and the crossbar both came to germany's rescue. has he flicks i looked most dangerous and set pieces, but sadly for then antonia roodick as header was rude out of sight. the mountains fine between success and failure into the 2nd half in spain drew 1st. glad how vari, miranda had only been on the field. 8 minutes. a typical poachers finished from him and, and inspired substitution by spain coach louis enrique. but anything he can do flit can to his super sub strike had nicholas full crook smashed in germany's equalizer with 7 minutes to go. raymond's full cra, repaying flake in bucket loads for his call up to the squad relief then for the

coach will be hoping this doesn't turn out to be a temporary reprieve. the w spoke to germany, fans, and cut off that nail biting match with many having mixed feelings after the one old role. i have mixed feelings o i own or should i be happy because we're down 10. i'm pretty much our the tournament or should i be sad because i feel like richard a chinese boy in the last minute or the more get some, some chances to score. now we i have to beat costa rica. now we have to figure out a way to get lucky, i guess because of jap or japan windsor. there we have no chance out efficiency been efficiency. they just need to score. i mean for example, mozilla perfect dribbling but he just needs to score. so if they do it, then they won't just go one go, they will do $34.00 goals. yeah, actually i'm quite relieved like it was quite disappointing. first match can believe that we lose another. so some hope after meeting germany in the opening

game, japan, surprisingly last one ill to costa rica and ruby keisha fuller score, the winning goal for costa rica on 80 minutes. it was their 1st shot on target at this woke up, the result keeps costa rica in the tool and after that upset tag ruby has now got very interesting this by germany is harmful, draw again, spain only a win against costa rica will do in their final game if they're to avoid a straight, early exit from the world cup, and even then japan could still make things difficult. funds afflicts man, if i get a result against spain, there was a big shock. and group s where morocco beat belgium to nil. substitute up there, i mean. so barry opened the scoring when his free cake went right in on 73 minutes and another supp zakiria apple glove made the game say for morocco an injury time

to stun belgium's collection of stars and spark chaos in the belgian capital. brussels where celebrations boiled over into violence. police use water cannon and tear gas after people torch vehicles. smashed windows and through fireworks. the mayor of brussels told people to avoid the city center. sh croatia have moved to the top of group f. thanks to a comfortable for one victory over canada who go out of the tournament. forward andre crum cram rich scores twice, full creation. this was the 2nd gold and gracious 3rd on 70 minutes. putting the game beyond canadas, which croatia on top of the group on 4 points, the same as morocco. and finally, for many of us dancing in perfect stead with one person can be hard enough while

harbor trying it with 2000 other people. that's just what these dancers and venezuela were trying to do at bright guinness world, record for the world's largest salsa don. it's at rueda casino, where couples from form circles and do patterns. at the same time, the current record is held. i spank. ah, that's it from me and that is team. i'll be back with more news at the top of the office in berlin prints with with
