ah ah ah, this is dw live from burly china cracks down on protests against the country's 0 cove. it policy police block off districts where public aga had let loose and censor cell phones. the image is coming out now people once again falling in line with mouth testing and lock them. also coming up as ukraine,

the face is russian attacks on its infrastructure. ukrainian soldiers also dealing with a bitter cold of winter, are reported. joints troops, new the frog la rescue teams continue to search for survivors of a landslide in cameroon. authorities sable that it does not day and many are still missing in the capital. young and portugal advanced to the last 60 of the world cup top. but once was younger, although does not get it on this ah, i'm good. how else as well come to the program? and we begin in china where beijing has deployed more security forces to clamp down on demonstrations against it's 0 covey policy. but with infection numbers still high across the country, some cities app returns to

a daily routine of testing. nearly 3 years, lengthy locked downs and mass testing has said china, apart from the rest of the world. and the frustration has a spark, rare sight, public descent in response police out enforce patrolling city streets. and universities are sending students home to try and stop protested from gathering while crowds have rallied in cities across china, solidarity protests. i've also sprung up outside embassies around the world. after a weekend of public unrest and anger, more protests at china 0 cobit policy. but this is not beijing or shanghai. this small gathering is taking place in hong kong as business district at its heart, a vidual to remember those who lost their lives in a building fire last week. in the city of rome, g 10 deaths, it's alleged that were caused by china st cove. it matches and it 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 movement. all under the watchful eyes of the authorities. 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 one to live like humans school. so what that's younger, young, legal thinking? what if the hong kong have been suffering from this regime for so many years? therefore we share the same feelings. i know what i mean that we a mainland chinese are facing the same problem earlier. yeah. 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 hits 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 ever beijing's crack down on protesters has sparked this response from the u. k. foreign secretary. well, protest against chinese government are rare. and when they do happen, i think the world should take notice by think the twenty's government should take notice. 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 happened over the weekend. but the world is now watching it from a gym now joined by a journalist, fabi on her treatment of

a foggy, a few images of protests have made it out of china. and the last 24 hours is that the sand demonstrations are dying down. oh, we're looking at shiny a chinese suppression campaigns here. yeah, we're basically seeing a correct down led by the state. yeah. the pro process the on pause. that's true. but why? because the police presence is so heavy in many cities. i could of that, that he and paging the area we are protest erupted the 1st time. i mean, it's surrounded by cops, basically every 30 meters, another police car and also law offices in plain clothes. so it's impossible together. and when yesterday night there were rumors spread that in the northwest, some people would gather immediately also police still there. i mean, when the 1st correspondence arrived, it was full of police and you know, every one who just to buy or look curious was asked to leave. and in this environment of course, impossible. together. and in shanghai, the police even went one step further. they stopped

a lot of pass by the phone. they asked them to lead critical photos and were also checking whether the people would use in china block f like to instill graham, et cetera. now, some covert rules appear to have been eve since the protest began. is that a sign that china is actually yielding to some demands of the demonstrators? maybe a little bit. i mean, we are expecting things in small steps and those also reflect the reality and paging. at least people don't comply any more with the cova. ruth, if they used to and so yes, ma step towards opening, but i mean, they cannot open the fully because the vaccination campaign was not successful. the book value robo people over 80, the booster rate is, will be very low. only 40 percent for the 80 year old and yet so if they open a little bit, then of course some demands met by the protest. this but really only some. now this process really only about coven restrictions or is that deeper?

defend. yeah, i mean the protesters were really quite worse, some demanded an end of the locked downs, some demanded more legal protection and more rule of law. others demanded more basic human rights and more of press freedom and freedom of expression. and then of course, some other directly demanded a change of leadership. so you have all those different intentions, and there's not a unified voice, but i think for many, this is more than just the pandemic policy. now how much of a threat do you think are these demonstrations for each and things grip on power? what, how so we, i mean it's hard to say, but i mean, i don't think a critical mass of people who went to the streets has been reached yet because it's mostly young people, not only, but mostly. and, you know, for example, the blue collar workers or the delivery of people, i mean, they did not go to the streets. and so i would say probably not a severe threat yet, but it's the 1st time in several decades that you know, and this sense has spread to many parts of the country. those were not localized

protests, but really they could be seen in many, many chinese cities. and it was not about a single issue, it was really a brought home of opposition. i've been touch mother in beijing. thank you very much fog in ukraine. the wintry weather is playing and increasingly important role in the war. civilians are bracing for a harsh winter with the prospect of rolling blackouts as temperatures dropped below freezing for soldiers fighting on the front, the cold adds another layer of hardship w's. yon phillips shots visited a ukrainian unit in the eastern hockey region. it is one of the coldest areas of the country right now. we're so close to the border that most of the radio stations you get here are russian reports of legit atrocities committed by supposed ukrainian neo nazis. this is where we meet a unit of the 3rd ukranian tank brigade in

a forest less than 15 kilometers from russia. artillery fire is a regular threat. the winter that's coming to be even more brutal. i fought in the winter of 2014 near the night, so you said, look, it was minus 25 degrees there has here the local so you can get even as low as minus 32 degrees. but we'll survive today. it's only about 0 degrees, but the soldiers are preparing from much worse amongst the trees. they've kitted out. a hut is a place to warm up. they also use a house in the next village. there's a kitchen and enough wood for the oven to make it warm enough to take your coat off . one soldier tells us the people who lived there before were collaborators out. some of the go in my chevy. scarcity, visually, when our boys from the infantry answered here in september though, those people just fled e and some local say they went to the city of car keys. others say they went to russia in the white difficult from that i see young as i don't know exactly. the

one is out of they are certainly afraid to come back my us in the field, but obviously they are traitors. sat on that because i don't think of listening but vision in the forest. the soldiers improvise using bits of captured russian vehicles to reinforce their old tanks. which date back to soviet times, the change of season makes the men feel more vulnerable. all the leaves are gone, see little that it virginia our movements become much more noticeable and there is an immediate response from the other side. it will be now that winter is approaching this issue. it seems to me both sides have learned more about each other's organisation in the field of geography, about our interactions during combat operations. when you log via the human ye, uh, from my point of view, the frontline will most likely stabilize more the so it will become more static is

done the business for pitching to mind. the 1st snowfall is touched everything for kids in the village, it's a welcome distraction. most of their friends have left the area. there's been no school for months. the last now something new. them only over. now we can build snowman a war, and we can go sledging that distance and we can even throw snowballs and sledge down the hill. the temperatures are set to drop over the coming days. to talk more about that, i'm not joined by mike martin is a former british army officer and a senior fellow at the war studies department that kings college in london might do you expect the onset of winter right now to effect operations on the battlefield? hugely. so winter is a very serious thing in ukraine as,

as your excellent package there just described. and i think the best way i can describe it to your view is, is to talk about the practicalities at the source temperatures that we discuss minus 20. but even minus 5 is a pretty standard temperature in winter. and ukraine water will be frozen. some of the liquids in vehicles be frozen. trenches are much more difficult to dig, so just concentrate on keeping warm. so the effect on of all of that is that everything slows down massively. so these big movements that we've seen over the last few months, the re taking her on the re take new car if those will slow down massively and everything will slow down. so snail's pace. now we've been hearing about russian forces being ill prepared for winter warfare. could the cold conditions break the morale of the russian army, which doesn't appear to be very high anyway? i think that's exactly right. the throughout the conference, russian morale,

compared to the current is, has been very low. and the nato countries have made a specific effort to supply ukraine with uniforms when she says, all that kind of stuff. so i think what this means is that rather than breaking russian route, which is already very low, i think it means that russian soldiers are not going to be making any bold moves that are going to be concentrating completely on keeping warm and surviving. and the training so does which have higher morale and have better winter equipment will have some small latitude for activity operations that the russians don't. so the winter is an advantage for the chinese. now what will come after the, when to expect either side to launch a new offensive. so the russians of course, are going to be using the winter to bring all of those mobilized soldiers up. 250000 more civilians have been mobilized,

can be brought in the army. so they're looking to replenish a lot of the losses that they've had. ukraine is resting off the several big offensives. and i think what both sides are going to try and do in the spring is launch press fresh offensives. i think what's important to note is that if you cry and succeeds in the spring and russia loses, then that really is the last roll. the dice for russia, because they've mobilized all the soldiers that have incorporated them in the army . and if they get defeated, their own anymore options for russia. mike martin the from the war studies department of kings college in london. thank you very much, mike. thank you very much. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. u. s. secretary of state entity blinking as in romania head of the meeting of nato foreign minister, lincoln is expected to announce measures to help restore power in ukraine following

russian strikes on critical infrastructure. millions of the country have been left without heating. police forces in 6 countries have brought down an international call. tell that controlled about a 3rd of europe's cocaine trade. police made arrests in europe and the united arab emirates and seized around 30 tons of drugs. officials on hawaii's big island have urged people to be ready to evacuate. if lava flows from the mount, a low crane or change direction, mount or lower, the world's largest active volcano is erupting for the 1st time in nearly 40 years . so far your option is far from home. scientist, one lava flows can change rapidly. un panels says australia's great barrier reef should be listed as in danger. scientists say the world heritage site has been greatly impacted by ocean warming and climate

change. australia has lobbied for years to keep the reef off the danger list over fears. it could her tourism it watching the w still to come. many escape death by a matter of seconds after landslide wiped out a funeral party in cameroon. others were not so lucky as coming up in just a few more moments, but 1st child pneumonia ant malnutrition, on the rise in afghanistan as winter sets in, and families struggle to feed or heat. the international committee of the red cross says 20000000 people face acute food insecurity. that's me. that means hunger. it's urging agencies and governments who have left the country after the taliban power grab last year to now return to afghanistan. a warning of you may find some of the images disturbing mob 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, who is in our living conditions, have worse and we have no source of income. i can't take my children to the clinic when the 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. he bordinez when there are no buyers, your people don't have money. they can't even find a job that will allow them to afford a meal. plate on the full extent of afghanistan's plate 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 of parents must know contend with modern african families to day face an impossible choice to eat or to buy hint, and really they can't afford either. resulting in a frightening rice and malnutrition and pneumonia cases. after the taliban storm to power last year, many international organizations withdrew. no, the i. c r c says it's time for governments on day didn't cease to return to afghanistan and it's hour of need and i'm not joined by flor invest valley is head of save the children germany. the recently visited of

gone is don looking after the angels projects there. now, how desperate is the situation for children in afghanistan right now? the situation for children in afghanistan is truly along. i think what we just saw when your report really illustrates that you have an estimated more than 9000000 children facing critical levels of hunger. and when i went to see the work of some of our mobile health teams that look after these children, it becomes apparent you the same story time. and again, the story of a family where the father owns maybe a dollar a day. if he's lucky with 10 children living in one room without heating and the last time they had me on the table was 8 months ago, so they base the live of bread and maybe bit of rice. and obviously in those circumstances, the rates of malnutrition of ill health amongst especially the smallest children increasing rapidly. now your projects require you to corporate with the radical

islamic cali, bon, who deny girls access to education, for example. doesn't that cause problems? well, we've always made it very, very clear that we believe don't, must have access to secondary education in particular because it is their right to do so. but also because those are the teachers and the doctors and nurses of tomorrow that need to be educated. now, the picture is a little bit more nuanced in the sense that you do have provinces where goals can still attend secondary education. and obviously what we also really support a lot throughout work is education at the primary level in the communities for both girls and boys. because that's hugely important. now what the off the international community should do now on, in the short term, we do need continued and increased funding to confront the humanitarian emergency

in afghanistan with the winter coming on, we need more means to be able to keep people warm and health in the long term, the international community needs to find a way to re engage with the country. and that also means dealing with the de facto authorities. because emergency aid is not enough to keep a country of almost 40000000 people afloat. we do need and more development focused, more long term approach to really be able to help afghans done. and it's ciocca. thank you very much for the best father from safe the children, germany in somalia security forces of end of the 12 hour long hotel seeds by militants. in the capital mogadishu, at least 8 civilians, and one member of the security forces were killed by al qaeda linked gunman who stormed the hotel in the city center. authorities say they were able to rescue 60
