touched the ball on this goal and ah, on the coff really. she's great to have you with us. we begin with china the pandemic and protests beijing as clamping down on demonstrations against this unpopular 0 covert policy. for days crowns have rallied in beijing, shanghai, and other cities, calling for an end to lock downs. and in some cases for president, she ging ping's resignation. this is extremely rare in china. solidarity protests have also spread world wide. after a weekends of public unrest and anger, more protests at china 0 cobit policy. but this is not beijing o shanghai. this small gathering is taking place in hong kong as business district

at its hearts, a vidual to remember those who lost their lives in a building fire last week. in the city of a rum chee 10 deaths. it's alleged that were caused by china strict cove. it measures and that have sparked this way, but demonstrations, just like in cities across the chinese mainland. here they hold up blank sheets of paper, now a symbol of descent in his growing movements, all under the watchful eyes of the authorities. he getting the situation in china has gotten worse and worse over the past few years. people's basic demands are ignored. we still wear carto, which is want to live like humans. so what that's young a young, legal thinking. what is the hong kong has have been suffering from this regime for so many years. therefore we share the same feelings. i know what it means that we're mainland chinese are facing the same problem again. i think it matters to hong kong and even the well, like i don't want to see on

a hong kong university campus, they sing a hit from the musical. les miserables an unofficial anthem of previous anti government protest here in hong kong is now part of this uprising that spreading across the world. like here in tokyo, outside the chinese embassy. and in london where concerns over beijing's crack down on protesters has sparks this response from the u. k. foreign secretary. well, protest against chinese government all rare. and when they do happen, i think the world should take notice by thing chinese government should take my tooth. it's clear that the chinese people themselves are deeply unhappy with what is going on about the restrictions imposed upon them by the chinese government. china's foreign minister has defended the country's cobra restrictions, but on the streets, tensions are running high. as a heavy police presence in cities including shanghai, with authorities,

quick to make arrests, they do not want to repeat what happens over the weekend. but the world is now watching this. and we can now speak to dolly yang. he's a political science professor at the university of chicago in the united states. most recently, his research has focused on china 0 cove policy. you welcome to the w. mr. young. fewer image of, of protest have made it out of china in the past 24 hours or the demonstrations dying down. or are we looking at a chinese suppression campaign? well, 1st of all, be on protest. rallies happened over the weekend. so a lot of people could get out when they were not working and of course at night as well. and of course i, this point is the beginning of a new wig. and at the same time, the authorities saw actually asking the police in various cities to mom. my response is essentially the check on people's cell phones and so on. so clearly the protesters are going to be hiding low a little bit. but we have seen

a government efforts to stop information about the pro test getting out heavenly or yes, absolutely. there is some pressure. in fact, part of the reason that the police are checking on people cell phones is to ask them, for example, to remove the images of the protests and so on. and there is also a campaign to stop some of the images that are flowing to, to tell you some covert rules have been since the protest begun. is that something that china is yielding to the demand of demonstrating or it's not actually specifically year due to the amount of the processes as much as the carry out of several measures called the trend. the articles that the central authorities started to actually issued on november 11th, but part of the public grievances. because local authorities,

instead of relaxing some of the measures have tightened awfully in response to writing numbers, new cases. how much of a threats are these demonstrations for changing, paying grip on power, because what we're seeing is quite unprecedented or absolutely in the scale and scope, the number of cds was, of course there have been some processing ground, joe and the enjo weeks. so those of the current proud has done not new, but what is new is the shared science of grievances and of suffering, especially after the death of people were emoji fire. partly because of complaints about the actually 0 covey measures. much actually will depend on how the authorities respond. because whenever you have protest like this, a lot of the be dynamics are, be turned the authorities and be people who are coming out the projects down. of

course, so far, generally speaking, be police in the different cities. so example, especially in bay to have the run to lose is trent in their responses to the protesters. so there has been relatively little violence. although we do know that some people, some of the protest have been taken away and fall questioning. and still there are some that are detained in shanghai for example. and we did see the authorities cracking down pretty hard on protesters that was del yang from the university of chicago. thank you so much for your time. you're most welcome. the city of her son and southern ukraine has been liberated from occupation, but the fighting is far from over. russian forces are shelling the city daily from across the ne pro river. that's not stopping residents from trying to understand what happened during the 8 months of russian occupation. italy is nick connelly met 2 friends who survived weeks of captivity and torture

during for food, huddling around the few working y fi hotspots carrying on in spite of the shilling all around them. this is what every day life looks like and have some goldman key if was people to evacuate 2 areas of power water away from the russian guns on the new in victoria state, put during 8 long months of russian occupation. they're not about to go anywhere. now they might seem like old friends, but the only mentioned september, the seller of this unremarkable of his look as prisoners. and yet those of allah forced their way into her flat my grandma sternly screaming. they let her off into the bathroom. sooner to bag 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 going to be a lot of fun until i miss. the neil had subscribed to a pro ukrainian chat group on telegram enough for her sons,

increasingly anxious was not supposed to come off to him. victoria had been volunteering, taking food to people in need, and her group came on to suspicion for contacts in government control territory. when the russians rated her home, they 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 when i killed them. i replied, that, that you're right, he said, but they tortured them 1st and everybody. i didn't think i'd get out of there alive . i wanted them to landed during the new had no idea where it was that been kept there. he realized it's been told as weeks in the middle of hudson, and they recognized pictures of their basement shared online. we tried to go inside, but the police isn't letting any one in the risk of russian mines is just too high . ordinarily victoria ever saw was there so as soon as they left it, there were captain hoods, the captain,

determined to remain unseen. but as little as they could see, they could hear more than they wanted to. it was the worst was hearing you screams my knees. i was the loudest in our basement during the interrogation. see of what all the cells could hear yelping was unbearable. the men's shouts didn't travel quite as far, but when you started, all i could do was pray that they go easy. all you knew of was all quite 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. but all of a sudden i could feel the blood dripping my hands my trousers. they were all covered in blood. the lead thought but give the most terrifying moment was still to come up to weeks without news while the inmates was suddenly driven out to the city . that gods telling them it was time to say their prayers. 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 are alive. and well, for

a moment i was really worried. what do they need this for? was it was that 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 his driving away without them me after, in that the likelihood their russian kept his blood faced justice is slim, the torch, all the evidence that they left at least one good thing has come of it all victoria tells me we've done being scared support by nick connelly. it's we 2 of the world cup in katara and portugal were looking to seal their qualification to the round of the last 16. they were up against the uruguay whose midfielder, rodrigo betancourt dribbled his way past 3 defenders, but couldn't get past the gold keeper. there was no score at the break. portugal dominated the 2nd half christiana ranada was merely a distraction on this cross from bruno fernandez. rinaldo didn't touch it,

but the ball went in and portugal beat uruguay to now and philip hutner from d. w. sports is here to talk about an eventful day at the world cup. so let's start talking about that portugal game. it almost seems like rashonna ronaldo was in need it. he really wasn't today was pretty much all about bruno fernandez, but not before your guy actually got off to a bit of a better start. we can maybe take a look at the miss that they had early on in the game. there was very unfortunate. so here we see bins are quote, going has 3 defenders and then not being able to squeeze it past the gold keepers legs. i think the game would have gone differently, but then it was all about bruno got the 1st goal. i got the penalty. it's a score. the 2nd goal hit the post and at a time. so this was definitely a relief because general rinaldo, because i think it's important for him to rely on a team that he can fall back on even if he doesn't work. portugal still gets the when i'm sure he's happy about tonight. and brazil are through to the round of the last 16, but perhaps struggling a little more than,

than you and i would have expected. how much are they missing? name are at the stage. i think they are missing him quite a bit. he's not irreplaceable, but they did only score one golds a day and that again switzerland, which isn't a very favourable side or one that is known for a particularly good defending. so i'm there, you can definitely tell that he was missed a little bit of people that step up vinitez junior more specifically was the one who really was the game changer today for them. i got a goal that was then ruled offside by via our and then in the end it was a mirror from manchester. united was where the game winner, but same story here. they're still getting the job done despite name or being out will presumably be out for the next game. but now brazil already through to the run, the 16 should be back in the knockout stages. but then i'm sure he'll be right back to the starting 11th. and we did see very exciting by both gonna and then a go. how do you read the african teams in the competition? so they're doing great. we have 5 african teams who are showing up and today specifically we saw the cameroon draw against serbia. we can take a look at that goal perhaps as well. fantastic chip here by go who that was

phenomenal. i could watch that whole day would have been that they go by them. so that was a $33.00 tie. and then also we had a 2nd game or gonna, we're going up against korea. that was a 5 game thriller of a match. we'll see that here in just a 2nd. so there it is just right before the final is gonna get the game when are there 3 to their game and even the other teams are doing very well. so if morocco, tunisia, and cynical as well. so all of these 5 teams still in the run for the run a 16 looking very promising for the african teams and also a little fun fact. this is the 1st time and work of history actually, that all african teams were participating in the walk up are coached by african coaches. so that also goes to show that africa is really improving as a region they have over $500.00 players as of this year playing and european leaves and topics even so lots of talent, but also trust in their home grown talent really. so i think that's a good sign and i'm sure we'll see more play with science,

big clubs after those work up if they're continuing to do well, thanks for the delay for thank you so much. it wasn't w news. here's a quick reminder of our top story today. china is clamping down on protests against the government 0 cobit policies. several cities are seeing a heavier police presence. the rallies are a rare show of define and that's all for me for now, rob watts will be here next with the business news and the economic impact of the protests and china. i'm the cough really, thanks for watching with every day for us and for our planet with global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities greener.
