from parallel, china cracks down on protests against the countries 0 cove. it policy, police block off districts where public anger had let loose answer cell phones. the image is coming out now show people once again, fully aligned with mass testing and lockdown. also coming up as ukraine faces 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 sat, thin, many afghan families have to choose between food or heat. many can't afford i that are paying the high class portugal advanced to the last 16 off the world cup and cut off. but for once, christiane, a rinaldo doesn't get in on the school. ah,

i'm gabrielle for a while come to the program and we begin in china where b ging has deployed more security forces to clamp down our demonstrations against it's 0 covert policy. but with infection numbers still high across the country. some cities have returned to a daily routine of testing nearly 3 years of lengthy locked downs and mass testing are said, 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. the solidarity protests have also sprung up outside chinese embassies around the world. after a, we can the public unrest and anger more protests at china. 0 cove, it policy,

but this is not beijing or shanghai. this small gathering is taking place in hong kong business district at its heart, 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 one to live like humans school. so what that's younger, young, legal thinking? what if the hong kong, as 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 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, but i think the chinese 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 happens over the weekend, but the world is now watching this jealous, javion crouch, my joins 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. other than stress is dying down or are we looking at a chinese suppression come campaign on social media? well, we're looking at a brought the suppression of protest, craig correct down. 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 protests. right now. i'm the big etherige on pause, but only because of a heavy police presence in beijing. it's really

a mess of 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, a messenger s s telegram or 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, 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 corporate,

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 protesters, 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 at 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 agree that they're fed up with 0 covert. now, how much of a threat then is the, are these demonstrations forshie gent, ping's 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 achieved with really repression and cracked 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 1095 in clark's 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 did abuse young. philip shots visited a ukrainian unit in the eastern hockey of 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 a regular 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. 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 of hut as 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 on of the holding my chevy scarcely. usually 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 keys. 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, says it on me 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 so it will become more static because lisa is done at the beginning. but bitching in 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. hello. now we can build a snowman, a war, and we can go sledging that distance and we can even throw a snowball and sledge down the hill. 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 affect 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 to talk about the practicalities at the source 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 soldiers concentrate on keeping warm. so the effect on 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 be 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 winter uniforms when she says, all that kind of stuff. so i think what this means is that rather than breaking russia 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 civilians have been mobilized to 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 ukraine succeeds in the spring and russia loses, then that really is the last roll the dice to russia because they've mobilized all the soldiers that have incorporated them in the army. and if they get defeated, there aren't any more options for russia. back mountain 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 ahead of the meeting of nato. foreign minister. lincoln is expected to announce measures to help restore power in ukraine following russian sprites 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. for these 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 them on a lower, ok, no change direction on a low as the world's largest active volcano and is interrupting for the 1st time a nearly 40 years. so far the russian is far from home,

but the scientist born lava flows can change rapidly. un panels says australia's great barrier re 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 read off the endangered list over 1st it could, her tourism you are saying, dw news still to come. many escape death by a matter of seconds after a landslide wiped out a funeral party income, a rude others were not so lucky. but for us to have gone to star where child pneumonia and malnutrition are on the rise, as winter sits and 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 is this 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. nevermind fuel. does that he bordinez when there are no buyers. your people don't have money. they can't even find a job that allow them to afford a meal. what it is that played 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 of parents must know contend with the afghan 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 seem to return to afghanistan. and it's our of need. earlier i spoke to floyd invest father, he's head off safe, the children, germany, and he recently visited afghanistan, looking after the n g o s. projects there. and i asked him how desperate the situation is for children in afghanistan right now. there's the children and understand is truly and on. 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 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 is maybe a dollar 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 small children increasing rapidly. now your projects require you to corporate with radical islamic tale bond, 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 all 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 names to be able to keep people home 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 a more development focus, 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 his 8 civilians and one member of the security forces were killed by the gunman who are linked to al qaeda. thorough to say there rescued. 60 people ah, gunshots pierced the air on monday from inside the besieged hotel in somalia as capital special government forces thought the al qaeda linked militants more than 12 hours after the islamist grip storm. the building. by that point, several lives had already been lost. either madame unquote interlude a hole in the course of their attack on the hotel. the militants killed. 8 civilians staying there. hello, cassie hobbins. he will tell hose with 5 of the 6 fighters who attack though tow were killed like a body now. and one of them committed suicide by blowing himself up to lie. he would've had the hotel is located near the presidential residence and is frequently

used by government officials. this somali army has been locked in a fight against ow chabad, which still controls large parts of central and southern somalia. the fundamentalists militants frequently stage attacks in mogadishu and elsewhere. their goal is to topple the western backed government to establish its own rule based on an extreme interpretation of atlantic law. and cameroon. authorities still hope to find survivors of a landslide that killed at least 15 people and were attending a funeral ceremony when the ground collapsed. the disaster took place to the poor district of your own div. cameron's 2nd largest city and rescue workers continued to search the rebel for victims of the landslide. on sunday evening, people had gathered on top of this embankment to celebrate the lives of deceased loved ones with dancing drums and drink. then the ground gave way.

let's update while we were sitting. i looked down and i saw a rock falling towards me. i lowered my head and as soon as i raised my head again, i saw a mass of earth falling and people come luckily for me as i jumped from where we're sitting but fell to the ground. i got up again, but fell again. the 2nd time i fell, i got stuck. i couldn't move them up. meanwhile, rocky realty will come supervisor while clod managed to escape with a few scratches. his mother was not so lucky. oh, my mom, my mom, she was my mom and she died. it's not easy to express myself, it's not easy at all. all of us authorities have yet to determine the exact cause of the landslide. but you're only as one of the wet cities and all of africa. and while it didn't rain on sunday camera in his experience, severe flooding this year,

ah, at the football, well cup and cut, our portugal have become the latest country to seal their sport in the last 16 to bruno fernandez goals saw them beat uruguay to nil after the 1st half without goals, portable dominated the 2nd half. the sam renella was merely a distraction on this cross. from fernandez, rinaldo didn't touch it at the ball when did anyway and said portable on the way to victory in the other group. h match ganna. so of a fight back from south korea to win 32 gunners. victory means they will go through to the knockout state with a win against uruguay in their final group game. a draw will also be enough to see them through. if south korea don't beat portugal in group jia was brazil and

switzerland facing often after both won their 1st games. a tie would have seen both teams advance with minutes to go brazil's camaro for the only goal. brazil are fruit to the last 50 while switzerland will advance by avoiding the feet in their last group stage game against serbia. and in what many call the match the tournament. so father group to be clash between cameroon and serbia, turned into a goal fest. but each side still had to settle for just the one point camera and took the lead out the 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 its head to one serbia at half time. after the break,

serbia stayed in control of the game. alexander mitrovica with a 7th gold 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 by our munich strike, eric maxime chopper meting with the easy tap in for cameroon. 33. the final school, a result that keeps both countries world cup, hopes alive. you're watching t w. c. as a quick reminder of our top story, several cities in china, i see heavier police presence after rad protests against the government's 0 cove. it policies, public anger is growing of a mandatory mass testing and lockdown. and that's it from me. and that is team phenomena, alphas and berlin expert ah,

oh ah, with with
