smell, smell, smell illegal. hallmark channel in with this with this is the dublin years geisha coming up to date, china's antique cove, it protest go global demonstrations. i have the u. k. australia and japan against china. i was juno probate measures how serious a challenge all day to should you being and the communist bought piece of property . and it has got a son family's face,

a grim choice between warming their homes for eating food. if leading to an increase of malnutrition and your more in their cases, a much of ah, i'm british manager, welcome to did up the news asia. glad you could join us. beijing's local government has said it will no longer block off apartment compounds where cobit cases are. discovered it's only lactation that's been prompted by city wide protests against china's still continuing. 0 corbett measures protested, began in the city of john, drew then spread to oregon. cheap best in china. over the weekend, more cities joined in including beijing and shanghai nation by protest like these haven't been seen in decades in china. and as correspondence, foggy and gretch my explains the demands from protest her as a truly historic. and i think the difference is that in shanghai and some protest

this have an openly demanded seating pink to step down. he and bent ging at the demonstrators were more cautious they made it. they also made very critical slogans . for example, at the country belonged to the people not to the party, et cetera, but they did not specify specifically criticized seating pink and overseas chinese have also been raising the pressure on beijing with protests elsewhere in the world . like outside the chinese embassy in london, they held our banners falling for the release of protesting citizens in shanghai. the also echoed to shanghai protested demands for the resignation of she'd you being here. they are chanting stepped down in mandarin and joking about a 100 people gathered at the she you can transition again calling on she and the communist leadership to resign and singing china's national anthem. in sydney,

australia, a candlelight vigil over the weekend, commemorated the victims of an apartment house fire in chief, immersed in china. 10 people died. many blamed the high death stall on the cities covered lockdown, which is trapped people inside their homes. and gentlemen offer more analysis on this is did of the correspondent william yang from our east asia bureau in taipei, william what explains the protests in the chinese mainland, spreading abroad to places like london, tokyo, sidney. this is a trend we have actually already seen just last month when a loan protester display a banner on a bridge in bay jane that call for the chinese leader. she, jim ping to step down in this is once again the overseas chinese student and overseas chinese citizens using their leverage on social media to really help to

spread the words and also show solid charity throughout the entire world. so we have already seen very large skilled memorials and visuals, and at the same time, also similar protests chanting. the same slogans that have been chanted in different parts of china in places like london, new york. and then we are also expecting more in the coming days or chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said paging wasn't aware of any solidarity protest abroad against it says your corporate policy is paging and denial. yes, i think this is a very clear strategy from the chinese government. try not to directly confront a topic that is so sensitive and so uncomfortable for it right now. as we can also see in the domestic media, there is almost no mention about the protests that have broken out in different parts of china. even though those protest, lilly disrupted

a lot of the everyday life and has, in fact become the main discussion point between chinese citizens living inside the country. so we are seeing a very clear strategy and the clear stands for aging, which is that they don't want to openly publicly being asked or having to address the issue until they have a very clear strategy about how to deal with the pressing crisis. how much of a challenge are these protest in china to president she g being in the communist parties of poverty. so i think this is actually in fact putting the chinese government in a very difficult position as we know the 0 cov, his strategy has been docked as the success story throughout the entire pandemic where he compared it as a successful model to the western style of handling the pandemic, whereas at the same time the, the pendant strategy has also dealed

a huge blow to china. economic growth in beijing is facing a lot of pressure on how to push for a booth. it's economic growth in the coming year. so right now, facing with this call for the drop and a to the policy of aging, is now made to have to decide what they need to do to move forward in a way that it is not going to look like it is given in, in caving into the demands of the chinese citizens. and do you see these protest expanding over the coming days? i think this will largely depend on how the chinese government decides to enforce the rules and regulations. so far we are only seeing police making arrests and also at the same time placing i think our band related barriers

around places where the po protesters have been gathering over the last few days. by so far, we are not seeing more clear long term strategy from aging, so that will remain to be seen how they respond to the protest and whether the protest can expand from here. let me angry, leave it there with that being thanks so much for joining us today. ah, child pneumonia and malnutrition, on the rise and of got a son as winter sets in, and families struggle to feed or heat. the international committee of the red cross is 20000000 people face acute food insecurity. it's urging 8 agencies and governments who left following the potter bonds. i'll grab last year to now return to the country. may have been and her family huddled close. afghanistan's winters are always brutal, but with only straw to barn, this one is especially harsh. and for her children,

the stakes are higher than ever. how we see that are living conditions have worse and we have no source of income. i can't take my children to the clinic when they're sick. despite the freezing cold, coal and wood piles high in kabul, economic hardships means millions can't afford food. never mind fuel. does that goldman, when there are no buyers, or people don't have money. they can't even find a job that will allow them to afford a meal. with that, laid on the full extent of afghanistan's plight is laid bare at this children's hospital. cases of pneumonia, 55 percent higher this year compared to last. some parents worry that even if doctors can help, it won't be long until they're forced to come back. if he's treated here and we

take him home, he'll get sick again because we can't afford to heat our home and provide him and my other children with proper nutrition. it's a grim choice that millions appearance must no contend with afghan families to gain for is an impossible choice to eat or to buy a hint. and really they can't afford either. resulting in a frightening rose and malnutrition and pneumonia chases after the taliban storm to power. last year, many international organizations withdrew. know the i. c r c says it's time for governments on deed agencies to return to afghanistan. and it's our of need. and john miller for more is awesome for charles, she is director of well reason of i missed on results. there's been a reported increase in my nutrition and pneumonia cases in afghanistan from last

year. what are you seeing in the countries, hospitals? yeah, as you rightly said, this is something that we have been cautioning for the past one year and there, then you said 24400000 people are needing humanity and assistance. and this includes 13000000 children and especially 1100000 children are at the wage of die because of malnutrition. so this latest increased according to one of the studies. it has increased to 90 percent from 2021. so malnutrition is on that. on the rice in afghanistan and children, i'm pregnant and lactating the men are becoming the victims of this anti malnutrition. it seems like we've been here before because we spoke earlier this year in january, and at that time you had said that situation is so desperate that some parents are selling their children for 200 to 500 dollars because they're not getting enough to

eat. they're not, they don't have money to buy food. you just leave. you do wonder. our agency is not getting the funding that they need to help the people over time. yeah. when you say half the population needs humanitarian assistance, it requires a lot of funding. so agencies are trying to deliver it the support of the donors, but the crisis is so huge that it's not sufficient. that's why the crisis is not ending the number that the numbers remain the same. but the are trying our level best to reach out to the communities, but at the same time, as you know, the crisis has to huge to respond and it requires a lot of lot of money and support from the international community. and do you see that for support for coming you know, support is coming and that is not documented in activities happening on the ground

. so food distribution, health sector. so we are trying to cater to the needs of the people around water sanitation activities are going on. but, but as, as i mentioned already, the crisis requires much more support. and this much more support needs to come from the international community. the lot to do with the generosity of the donors to support of kind of grandsons are going to be completely been shut down since the time the taliban took over and a sizable chunk of, of gone a sounds money has been frozen abroad. do you think it is time for this money to be released? yes, certain decisions are very, very political bear as a humana in organization. it's very difficult to say anything around this political decisions. but at the same time, it's the right time. we think about this crisis as an economic crisis, it's not only a humana in crisis. the situation as we're worse and because of the sanctions banks,

not functional. so, so economy has the failure of economy has contributed a lot to the situation on the ground. so i think it's the right time the decision needs to be made to see that afghanistan is supported in all ways possible. us from the trolls. we leave a different you so much for joining us. thank you. and that's it for today. there's more bits from the region on our website, d dot, dot com, forward slash taisha. and as emma you can follow us on facebook and twitter back tomorrow. you there with secrets my behind these was discover new adventures in 360 degrees. and explore fascinating world heritage sites with
