ah ah ah ah, this is the w news. why? from berlin? china clamped down on protest against 0 co written policy. barriers go off as police deal with demonstrators calling for president james pings resignation. author on the program lands live in cameroon, and italy, take a heavy toll. we'll hear from an expert and try and understand what causes the

deadly disasters and goals galore. the football world cup survey and cameroon, were both looking to score for the 1st time and exceeded expectations. ah, i'm so gale, welcome to the program, china's camping down on protest against it's unpopular, 0 cobit policy. thousands have taken part in demonstrations calling for an end to lock downs, and in some cases for president g should pegs resignation the country strict censorship laws mean that such protests are extremely rare, and rallies have been held around the world in solidarity with the chinese protests patient has a some restrictions, but he showing little sign of backing down. ah, in downtown shanghai he,

the police prisons. his replaced the huge protests which filled these streets. police cars, tracks and offices are out and force huge fences now in place to stop crowns, gathering. authorities here are working to remove all evidence of the protests, demanding these women delete photos from the fines. when i go over here they have wrist. one protested with police telling reporters the men didn't obey their arrangements. he's not the only one to have been detained. the social media footage shows a b, b, c journalist being arrested while protest as chant for his release. the baby ceases . he was assaulted before being fried. chinese authorities say he didn't properly identify himself. the proteus are an extremely re, a show of descent with many here reaching the limits. ballade, they're pretty neighbor and loyal to you. i think everyone has their own demands in

this matter. logo you and i think it's good for the environment of the whole country to have such a space for discussion. rallies and solidarity with china's demonstrations have now sprayed around the world. large crowds gathered outside the embassy in london. and here in tokyo, calling for an end to china's strict coven restrictions. but chinese authorities are refusing to change course. you know, we believe that with leadership and the support of the chinese people are fight against coven 19 will be successful. the way there has been a slight easing of restrictions in the western city of odom chief, where a deadly apartment fire last week spat much of the recent and reast. some residents have been confined to their homes for months can travel on local buses from tuesday

. some small relief, but far from the into the government. 0 cove and policy that so meaning demanding will andrew small of the german martial fund told me such protests are unusual. they're very much exceptional. i think people have said the scale and breadth of these protests is something that we haven't seen for decades. we've. we've seen kind of isolated cobit process and we see lots of local protests over specific issues. but this kind of uniting around a fairly common cause and the direct calls directed at the centrally the shipment that you didn't think himself is not something we've seen. so what's behind dependent child? of course, as this is down to foreign agitation, but what moves so many people to take to the streets in certain, in such numbers, in such a repressive regime?

well, the coven control measures have now been in place for such an extended period of time. and for, for the 1st considerable phase of this, i think there was a high level of understanding that this was necessary. and now what people are seeing, and if some are pointed to the world, carp seems of mosque, less people, not just from the advanced economies, but from, from other parts of the developing world. but broadly speaking, people are aware that the rest of the world has returned to normality. and the question is, why has this not happened in china? and there are 2 explanations for one is that the government must be incompetent in failing to put the measures in place with vaccines. and the health care system to enable a sort of reopening to be possible. or the other one is that they like to maintain the level of societal control that the 0 covey policies exemplify and, and, and enable them to maintain. and neither of these things are all situations that

people are willing to put up with for years on end. and after the party congress, i think the sense that took place recently, i think the people have been looking for some hope that these policies might be reversed. but the chinese government still isn't even in a position to do that. given the po vaccination levels. the of the unwillingness to roll these out with foreign m on a vaccines boat. they're not even in a position if the pressure is maintained and to really pull back on the 0 over policies without having a tremendous effect on the house of the elderly chinese. so i think sense is a bit of despair at the moment at people being locked down for years on end, and extremely capricious circumstances and seeing no way out of it. though we have seen some restrictions being east there's been a modest easing of these restrictions, but we've, we've seen kind of which one also sees in the way the international markets respond

. these kind of flashes of hope. but the fundamentals are still, that you do not have the vaccination levels in the elderly population in china that mean that they can be confident to move ahead with anything that approaches a kind of real relaxation of 0 hope it policies and all the infection rates are so high and have been rising, so they're not in a position to do that without projected levels of deaths that go into the hundreds of thousands, even into the millions of people as, as things stand. so that they will probably try to pull back a little bit on the, the most repressive of the policies that they pursued. the kind of barricading people in that homes and, and the sorts of things that people are pushing back against my family. but the fundamentals of the policy, they're still stuck with for a little while to come. that's very clear. thank you so much for joining us. and i'm not to for sandra small from the german 4 credit president. i'm, if i'm seniors warned his country to prepare for a new wave of russian air strikes,

declaring that as long as moscow has miss out, it will not rest ass reese intends russian rocket strikes. of course, the most damaging power cuts since the war began. millions have been without electricity or heat so far as you say, power and water supplies in the capitol have not been restored. like your responder . nick connelly is in cave and told me how people are dealing with the outages. stephanie tough, you might be able to see behind me quite how few lights are on here in cable though . this is, the system has been stabilized for the tax last week. and it definitely feels like everyone now is an expert on generators. you can't get any diesel generators or either here or in europe. they are all sold out. so people having to move to less efficient petrol generators. people talking about the power banks, different ways of kind of making the best of a few hours a day. they do have access to means power, but people are thinking about whether it's maybe a better idea to move out of the city from their kind of high rise apartments to

their weekend houses. rural kind of cottages, places where you can heat with wood or other things that you can kind of organize yourself without being dependent on a complex system. and there is, as you mentioned there, that fear of further russian attacks. it feels like every time the russians attack with those missiles that it takes a little longer for the system to kind of recalibrate itself. but there is no panic yet. i think the most important thing is that people, more or less have access to mobile phone networks can communicate. and i think that's been my kind of most lasting impression is that when the power goes out and the mobile phone must stop working, that's when people get a bit nervous because they can't find out how their family doing what to expect. as long as that's around people somehow make the best of it. what about nick calling keith? we'll take a look now. some more stories making news around the world. police forces in 6 countries have brought down an international cocaine ring. almost 50 people have been arrested in europe and the united arab emirates around 30 tons of drugs have been seized. the world's largest active volcano, mount lower on hawaii's big island is erupting for the 1st time in nearly 40 years,

the u. s. geological survey says larva has begun moving down the mountain. it's impossible to predict whether it might flow into populated areas. security forces in the somali capital market tissue say they've ended a seat at a hotel. at least 8 people were killed out about militant storm, the building authority, so they rescued 60 civilians. villa rose hotel is popular with government officials rescue searching for, for people who are missing following a land slide on me. italian island is care. the death holds no reason to 8, including a baby grand sleep was triggered by a storm state of emergency is now in force. and a landslide in cameron's capital yonder has killed at least 15 people with dozens more missing. heavy rain caused an embankment to collapse during a funeral. rescue was searching through the mud for survivors. dozens of

a funeral party were gathered on a slope when the ground beneath them gave way with the will. so even though each year suffered a landslide over the weekend, jessica holmes of newcastle university in the u. k. told me how these last glides are becoming more common and more dangerous. landslide triggers come because anything, so rainfall is one such long flight trigger. and we think that about 80 percent of natural disasters are caused by weather related hazards. and that includes landside, triggered by rainfall like those recently seen and come around and italy this week . so the fact that we've got this very intense rainfall that occurred actually potentially a very long dry summer is something that we're likely to see more and more is climate change progresses. so the dryness of the summer is likely to have caused weathering of top soils, which reduces the strength of the soils. and therefore there's

a greater likelihood of one side errands when that rainfall does. com. so it's possible that that's the sort of thing that we see now, and we are likely to see more of unfortunately as climate change progresses. well, i think the main thing that we need to look towards is monitoring slopes. so we do a lot of research into how we can effectively monitor thoughts in order to identify appropriate mitigation techniques, fall slope failure, and the ultimate aim of that would be to provide early warning systems for land sites so that we can implement low cost remedial work before the long side occurs to prevent the fatalities and also these major influences on the economy and the environment. so there are many methods for monitoring on slides, but we usually need to look at risk based prioritization of our monitoring because kind of similar to every single slot. so an assessment of the risk needs to be carried out before we can actually monitor this to be able to provide these mitigation strategies effectively. ah,

and the football woke up anchor ta, the group, a clash between cameroon and serbia, turned into a goal fast. but each side still had to settle for just the one part camera and took the lead after 29 minutes. it was their 1st goal at the tournament. it was also a 1st for serbia when they equalized just before the break and they weren't done yet. just a minute later, there turned the game on it, said 2 on serbia at half time after the break serbia state in control of the game, alexander meets rebates with a 7th goal in the last 6 games for his country. but cameroon wouldn't surrender and showed their fighting spirit, a beautiful chip from vincent abaca got them within a gold, around the one hour mark. and just 3 minutes later via munich strike, eric maxime, trooper meting with the easy tap in for cameroon. 33. the final score,

a result that keeps both countries woke up hopes alive, or that a 2nd match. so garner stave off elimination with a narrow victory mohammed. kudos a score twice for garner including the game winning goal after south korea had even the match at the 3 points for the gun a and when mean they stained contention to reach the not that route or it's official. you're not imagining it. people really are using the word gas lighting much, much more. they, miriam webster, dictionary has made the gas lighting it's word of the year. it was wrong way, was one of the top 10 searches this year. and that list also includes oligarchy, oh, micron and cancel culture. such as for gas lighting, increased 1700 percent, but didn't seem to be appeared, didn't seem to be linked to any particular event. and gas lightings defined the psychological manipulation causing people to question their own thoughts.
