ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, china cracks down on protest against the countries 0 cove policy, police block off districts where public anger had led loose and sent sir cell phones to the image is coming out. now show people once again, fully aligned with mass testing and lockdown is also coming up as ukraine face is

russian attacks on its infrastructure, ukrainian soldiers, so also dealing with a bitter cold of winter. our reporter joins troops near the front line and as winter sets in many afghan families have to choose between food or heat. many can't afford by that are paying the highest class portable advanced to the last 16 of the world cup and cut off. but for once, christiane, rinaldo doesn't get in on the score. ah, i'm gabrielle f as well. come to the program and we begin in china, where be jing has deployed more security forces to clamp down our demonstrations against it's 0 coven policy. but with infection numbers still high across the some

cities have returned to a daily routine of testing nearly 3 years of lengthy locked downs and mass testing set china apart from the rest of the world. and the frustration has sparked rare side of public descent in response. police are out in force patrolling, city streets and universities are sending students home to try and stop protesters from gathering while crowds have rallied in cities across china. solidarity protests have also sprung up outside chinese embassies around the world. faster a we can to 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 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 rom, she 10 deaths. it's alleged that were caused by china strict 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 movements, 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 want to live like humans, school. so what that's yeah, go, yeah. legal thinking. what is the hung homes have been suffering from this regime for so many years? therefore we share the same feelings. i know that means that we a mainland chinese are facing the same public 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 all rare. and when they do happen, i think the world should take notice by thing which one is government should take matters. 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. jealous, javion crouch, my joys is now from her bay. jing fabi,

a few images of protest since i've made it out of china in the last 24 hours out of demonstrations dying down. are we looking at a chinese suppression come campaign on social media? well, we are looking at a brought the suppression of protest. craig correct, down am i mean, all conversed. he's have organized several buses to send back students to their home town under the pretext of hope of prevention. but of course, they are afraid that they might gather to, to protest. i mean, because students were at the forefront of the protest. right now. i'm the big etherige on pause, but only because of a heavy police presence in beijing. it's really massive. and when you go to the area where the protest interrupted, immediately you get stopped and asked to go away. in shanghai, it's even heavy. i mean, there are people who get arrested if they don't show their id or if they don't show their phone. because what the police does is they check any critical photos that

you might have on your phone or any western app. or for example, the messenger apps as telegram or, and also instagram any apps that might be used to share and document critical contents. now some coping rule seems to have been ease since the protests began. is that a sign that china is actually yielding to some demands of the demonstrators? well, the easing so far is not substantial. i would say i'm china will stick to 0. cobit and that's the bigger picture today, the government announced to boost their vaccination campaign for the elderly. probably that's a good sign to open up in the long term, but i think it will stick to 0. cobit, at least for this winter, and you know, those small uses, you can say maybe they meet a little bit of the demand of the protestors, but really only a little bit. now, are these protests only about coven restrictions? or is this bigger?

yeah. much bigger, of course, for some people, i mean, the main concern is locked down here that have been very unpredictable, unscientific, and really very draconic other people, they want a more free society. they want more freedom of expression. and you know, some people even want a change of leadership that this is really the, the harshest form of protest if you've seen, for example, in shanghai, but to some degree, also engaging. so i think that's not a unified voice. there are a lot of intentions. and, but they all share really, that they're fed up with your covert. now. how much of a threat them is the are these demonstrations forshie gent beings grip on power? well, i think it should be concerning for shooting ping me right now. it seemed rather successful by the, you know, security apparatus that the protest on pause, but that was only a cheese with really repression and crept down and police presence. of course, the anger of the people will not disappear, it will remain and will find its way sooner or later. and really,

this is the 1st time in several decades. it, you know, there's a broad form of descent and it's spread to basically all parts of the country. this has really not been seen before. he and china since probably the 995 in her mother reporting from paging. thank you. problem in ukraine, the wintry weather is playing an increasingly important role in the warm civilians are bracing for a harsh winter with the prospect of rolling black houses. temperatures are dropping below freezing for soldiers fighting on the front of the cold adds another layer of hardship. the w 's young phillips shots visited a ukrainian unit in the east. and hark if region one of the coldest areas of the country were so close to the border that most of the radio stations he 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 irregular threat. the winter that's coming to be even more brutal. i fought and the winner of 2014 near the night, so it was minus 25 degrees. there is here, the local so you can get even as low as minus 32 degrees. but we'll survive to day . it's only about 0 degrees, but the soldiers are preparing for much worse amongst the trees. they've kit it out . a hut is a place to warm up. they also use a house in the next village. is 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 on of the holding my chevy scarcely rashly. when our boys from the infantry entered here in september though, those people just fled either some local say they went to the city of car kiefer. others say they went to russia and the white difficulties from that. i see young as

i don't know. exactly. one is out of they are certainly afraid to come back, i guess in the field, but obviously they are traitors. sat on the because i don't think it wasn't but fusion 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 organization in the field of geography. about our interactions during combat operations for my nissan is a u. d. a. from my point of view, the frontline will most likely stabilize more the so it will become more static. beasley is done at the beginning,

but bigion come 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 at last. now something new. a. now we can build a center or, and we can go sledging and we can even throw snowballs and fledged and the hell the temperatures are set to drop over the coming days. earlier i spoke with mike martin and he's a former british army officer and a senior fellow at the war studies department of kings college in london. i asked him how the onset of winter will effect operations on the battlefield. hugely. so winter is a very serious thing. in ukraine as, as your excellent package that i 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, the temperatures that we discussed, minus 20. but even a minus 5 is a pretty standard temperature in winter in ukraine. water will be frozen. some of the liquids in vehicles we froze and change is a 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 training 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. they're 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 canadians that 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 $250000.00 more. the civilians have been mobilized,

can be brought in the army. so they're looking to replenish a lot of the losses and 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 fresh, fresh offensives. i think what's important to note is that if you train, succeeds in the spring and russia loses, then that really is the loss of all of the dice to russia because they've mobilized all the soldiers that have incorporates them in the army. and if they get defeated, there aren't any more options for russia. mike martin, the from the war studies department of kings college in london. thank you very much, mike. let's have a look now. some of the other stories making headlines. us secretary of state antony blinking is in romania, head of the meeting of nato. foreign minister. lincoln is expected to announce measures to help restore power in ukraine following russian stripes on critical infrastructure. that 1000000 across the country have been left without power or

heating. police forces in 6 countries have brought down an international cartel that controlled about a 3rd of europe's cocaine trade. these made arrests in europe and the united arab emirates and seized around 30 tons of drugs. officials on hawaii's big islands have urged people to be ready to evacuate. if lava flows from the amount of lower ok, no change direction on a low as the world's largest active volcano and is interrupting for the 1st time. nearly 40 years. so far, the russian is far from home. scientists born lava flows can change rapidly. un panels says australia's great barrier should be listed as in danger. scientists say the world heritage site has been damaged severely by ocean warming and climate change. australia has lobbied for years to keep the reef off the endangered list

over 1st it could, her tourism you are saying, dw news still to cause many escaped death by a matter of seconds after a landslide wiped out a funeral party. in cameroon, others were not so lucky but 1st, to have gone a star where child pneumonia and malnutrition are on the rise. as winter sits in families struggle to feed or heat. the international committee of the red cross says up to 20000000 people are facing hunger. it's urgent agencies and governments who have left the country after the taliban power grab last year to now return to afghanistan. 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 it is in our 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. it 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. is that right? oh, 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. earlier i spoke to flo invest father, he's head off safe. the children, germany, and he recently visited afghanistan, looking after the n g o s projects. and i asked him how desperate the situation is

for children in afghanistan right now. there's the children in afghanistan is truly along. i think what we just saw in your report really illustrates that you have an estimate more than 9000000 children facing critical levels of hunger. and when i went to see the work of some of our health teams that look after these children, it becomes apparent. you the same story in time and again, the story of a family where the father is maybe a dollar a day if he's lucky with 10 children living in one room without heating. and the last time they had meet 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 small children increasing rapidly. now your projects require you to corporate with the radical islamic cali bomb 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 girls 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, 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 do you 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 the country of almost 40000000 people afloat. we do need and more development focused, more long term approach to really be able to help us understand and it's ciocca. thank you very much for what the best father from safe. the children, germany in somalia security forces have ended a 12 hour long hotel siege by militants of the capital. mogadishu, at least 8 civilians, and one member of the security forces were killed by the gunman who are linked to al qaeda. for it is say, the rescued 60 people gunshots pierced the air on monday from inside the besieged hotel and somali as capitol
