system our energy agreed and provide people with decent living conditions which president put in is trying to deprive them of when we have air defense systems, we will be able to protect this infrastructure from the next russian myself. right . and they are definitely to come. unfortunately, this is the reality that we have to prepare for. so, in a nutshell, patriots and transformers is what you create needs the most. and we're discussing it here in the rest of the meetings. well, i brief statement that from a demitria, labor, ukrainian defense minister of foreign minister megaphone and

nato secretary general again, stalsen burke, speaking there following that meeting of nato defense ministers in bucharest today, much has been promised a front base meetings to collab saying that what they need at the moment is, well it's, it's been the usual thing is that it's that weapons add defense systems or patriot defense systems, as well as transformers and energy supplies. to help them through a spitter winter, they are going through. foreign ministers have been meeting in bucharest across the day to discuss those matters, as well as potentially ukraine's desire to join the military alliance, as well as talking about the sorts of non lethal weapons that they can actually bring that to the table as well. so that's what's been going on in the

course of, of the day. so let's see if we can speak to corresponding to alexandra from norman, who resent in bucharest, and, and husband following of these details. avisa, this metric out. welcome, alexandra. so a very, a surprisingly brief statement at bear from the secretary general b as the ukrainian foreign minister. yes, indeed. and to actually we expect the ukrainian foreign minister to hold his own own press conference. he on the side lines of nato foreign ministers meeting in bucharest, and we also waiting for nater, chief stoughton burke to inform the press so that those remarks war were brief. but i think it was also meant to show that nato is standing with

ukraine and nato allies are ready to continue their support for support for the country right now in the course of today's meeting. so do our talk continuing or has this meeting at now? finish that last finish. what has come out of it? well it talks are continue with regards to what are the ministers to the minister's exchanges that are still expected here, for instance, they are expected to have a dinner with you, queen and foreign minister, clear bow a word. they would have more opportunities to speak about the current situation in ukraine with russia constantly attacking and trying to destroy the country. it's power grid, which is a source of major concern for many allies here. so that still on the agenda today, and as i said, we are stand by for nato secretary general dalton barracks is conference that

should say stop shortly. okay, so that stopped still to come up. what are they particularly interesting parts of this meeting has been the talk and not a military assistance, but of non lethal aid sort of taking in ukraine. sam applied in the round that's true. and that is actually what nato itself is providing ukraine with anita delivering non lethal assistance to the country. are we speaking here about drone generously? if you give out fuel material, we speak about medical supplies and they wanted to ramp up or their assistance there. but when we speak about heavy weapons that are being delivered to ukraine, that is up to individual allies to decide which kind of weapons which kind of heavy

weapons. and they are ready to provides to the battlefields, to support ukraine. so that is definitely a topic here. and the question is however, what are the there are going to be any new concrete pledges from individual allies and specially with regards to air defense systems. because as we understand, that is exactly what ukraine needs right now to prevent its cities and villages from russian bombs, russian misses and russian drones. and we actually had a chance to speak with their lithuanian foreign minister, mr. lance bacchus. and he told us that it's also from his perspective now time to deliver battle tanks to ukraine because he thinks that they could make a difference on the battlefield. that they could help change the course of the war that they could help you to get back to, to,

to fight back for territories to push out russia. and it was interesting just watching news of this conference as it developed across the day with you and your foreign minister who you mentioned there, made a point of saying that nato is not running low on tongues. because this is one of the things that, that, that had sort of made it out there that perhaps there was a problem with the surprise of heavy weapons that from the military allies. yes, of course. and so there are also different perspectives on what kinds of weapons could be delivered to ukraine. in addition, of course, we have to say that the stockpiles nato member states are also shrinking. so it also needs time to manufacture new weapons and they are can then only be delivered to ukraine at the same time. need to also understand and allies

understand that they need more capabilities on it's on their eastern fling because we saw what happened just a few of 2 weeks actually rather 2 weeks ago where there was a strike in poland and said there was a discussion after that. which capabilities needs to be provided to better defend and protect to nato's eastern flank there. okay, thank you for that. alexandra, thank you for now. we'll leave that. and then we'll hear from the secretary general in the course of next half hour or so perhaps talk later. that's a alexandra from non in bucharest. we'll take a look ahead of that at some more stories of making news around the world. and the iranian army has put, the number of people killed in nationwide demonstrates more than 300. and that's a much lower than estimates from rights groups. are protests of rock the country since the death in custody of a young woman arrested by iran,

rebellion your sensuality. wound by royalty and icons. the like, are you got this and magic wand grounds for divorce? guy with accountants, full cultural history. secret weapon mistake doth december 3rd on d. w with 50 dublin years. asia coming up to date can chinese censorship, suppressed anger over draconian corbett measures. both of these begin to center information on mobile phones, tv, and the internet to do with antique over protests in the country and abroad. but is

this stopping chinese people from getting the information they want from where they want? ah, i british minded, you welcome to did up the news asia, glad you could join us, antique over protest in china appear to be on pause after the weekend of demonstrations across the country. heavy police since and betty kids in short protested, stayed away. these are images from shanghai from tuesday morning, but the enforcement had already begun a day earlier. police were already checked mobile phones, of passers by in the city, and deleting what they deemed objectionable. and the same extent to chinese television as well as social media. and gentlemen of a more from paging is correspondent far beyond credit map, red and historic protests over the past few days. how much of it have people seen

on chinese television news? when the official media, which is on the state control, you will see nothing. i give you one example in should when gamble, that's the biggest news show every day they show the use of the day in the evening on cctv that the state broadcast every show will start with the thing thing doing something for example, visiting effect reach nowadays and uses that seating thing, met with the mongolian president, but you know, those protests will not take place. there were the only possible spin that i could imagine how they would report about those protests would be, you know, they are like, foreign forces, quote unquote. or, you know, provoking trouble here or something like this. i mean, the chinese media are really a parallel reality, quite detached from what's happening here on the ground. i mean me to scandals you will not find any mention in chinese media or, you know, human rights violations in young that doesn't exist in the course of the state

media. what about online? are people being able to share information about these protests online? well, i mean yes, so on social media is definitely more free. there is for example, the on time platform label, which you might. yeah. maybe compared to twitter a little bit or at yahoo, that's a platform where you can ask questions and then there's also go in, which is the chinese version of tick tock. and there, you know, i'm all free to debate, but some topics remain taboo. and for example, the ship of seating ping or the power of the c. c. p cannot really debate directly because the send us will step in and you will believe very quickly. but, you know, if you really say something very critical, you could also get in trouble. so it's also risky. so is all this censorship working? i mean, we've seen today that they've been la empty streets devoid of protesters in beijing

and china guy for instance, before is the censorship working with the empty streets also due to the heavy police presence on the ground and to you to the intimidation so best that but of course, the censorship is working very efficiently. why am it's, it's actually quite smart. it's not only deleting everything, but you know, i would compare to a metaphor of a boiling water for to. so if you don't leave any space, then you know the portable boil over, but, you know, the chinese centers usually leave a little bit open. so there are some room to, for example, criticize local governments or maybe talk about the corruption of a, you know, a business man, etc. but you know, the very central questions cannot be debated. and here what we've seen now with the protests, we could see that, you know, everything was flatly deleted and people would share videos. but when they get to eat it, then they want to try to keep those videos on the site or make

a filter on them or find other ways to it around to send a ship. and when that even didn't work anymore, some just found very indirect ways to criticize the government. one was for example, to just post long essays, long text, which only consisted of one character, namely how, which is a good good. everything is good and when people saw those texts, which basically said good, good, good, good, good. in like the $600.00 times in a row, they renew, it was a cast. it was ironic and maybe people outside of china wouldn't understand this. but really, the young chinese are very smart in reading between the lines and finding very indirect ways to criticize the government. literally reading between the lines. so this will also not be the 1st time, as you mentioned that the chinese internet and tv platforms have been censored. so how do chinese get that information when censorship kicks in? yes, yes, always one way, because the chinese internet is heavily tends or heavily controlled. if you really

want to access free information, you need to get around it. and how can you do that? you can have a v p n, a software on your phone, on your laptop, that's basically a tunnel to prevent it to get out of the chinese internet. and if you turn on the c p n, which doesn't work very reliable, it's really quite complicated. only a few bpn software are still working, then you can access twitter, then you can access instagram, telegram, etc, you can access also the w, et cetera. so then it chinese use us. they are posting pictures and once they land on a document that they cannot be deleted any more by chinese sensors, that's how basically stuff gets out. there was no support those protests. and does the chinese state truly believe that in this day and age sensitive information will actually prevent people from accessing it? so what i mean, it's kind of ambivalence at 1st when you know, social media was starting. the chinese government was very afraid,

especially after seeing the revolutions in the arabic world. and so the censorship kicked in very, very roughly. but sometimes they found out they can also use to send the ship. they can use a technological developments for their own or 2 or so. i mean, right now it works quite a lot. many chinese actually don't use a v p and so they stay within this cost months and they don't even know what's happening in their own country. to some degree and there of course many old people who would, you know, read people's day the, the party use paypal a watch when gamble the s t v news. so they don't have any idea about those protests or problem stay with us. because another dimension to this is the information that chinese citizens are getting from outside such as about the current football world cup in quarter, where images of fans filling stadium to the mosque. social distancing quarantine, i have left many chinese citizens wondering why they country is still trying to

stand out of it. when people elsewhere are living with it. nowhere, not even china is immune from water cut, fever, funds and shanghai have gathered to t can again. but the spectacle has also offered a window onto a world which has left covert behind. i really envy them. despite the cheer, the threat of coded and particularly strict lock downs loon large. though some still think b james hard line approach is right. the withered and given chinese size and medical resources, i think it should rare been slowly. and that it's ok to keep the 0 coven policy for now. but while the matches may be on in china, the chinese are being served up a sanitized version. one sports writer has compared game coverage, revealing subtle differences. the 1st clip was what viewers outside china saw

mosque. las fans cheering their team. and this was what chinese state tv showed the coach on the touch line, shouting instructions. despite those efforts, the scenes from guitar of triggered some soul searching online. one weeble user said, you either locked down everything or you let go. the cutter welt cup is proving that it's time to treat cove it as a regular infectious disease. another asked, is there no coven elsewhere? everyone at the world cup looks so happy. we are living in the same world, aren't we? a 3rd said, look at the smile on the world cup audience is face. then look at us. the tournament it seems, has offered china not just some distraction, but also cause for self reflection. for him have these are images from the

football world. godfather added to anger about china's school restrictions yeah. extremely, really, because those direct information is often central, but a football tournament is something very a political. so the propaganda apparatus haven't, hasn't even thought about that. this could spark anger in the beginning, but it had a huge backlash. the people were watching, you know, on the tv, the football woke up, they saw no tens of thousands of people in the stadium. a cheering having a good time without masks. and was they themselves sit at home, locked down, probably cannot even leave the apartment. so they began to ask questions and that had a huge effect that was very frustrating for many chinese. and what seems to be the state t v actually did. they changed the way how they broadcast those games? whenever there's a close of fence and you can see them without mask and you know,

celebrating they wouldn't know, coach or cut to a like a bird. you. so you cannot really see those small details that you know, they are fans without mask the stadium. and that gives you an idea how, how smart and efficient this propaganda approaches as walking. they can really adjusted. and if you wouldn't know that in other t b, they show the fence. you don't even know that stevie actually manipulated the broadcast. but father, who states to me really still the most important source of information for the majority of chinese it's hard to say, i mean young people, they don't watch it, not at all. they get them used from social media. and for them, i mean, they also don't believe what a set in the news, i mean that's quite laughable. i mean, propaganda is actually really too much over the top and it's comparable to north korean propaganda and some degree and on social media it's little bit different.

and young people basically consume those video streaming services or label as i mentioned. but many old people actually do consumer state used on the newspaper order and went and bought the new show in the tv. so i would say split and depends how old you are. these images from the world car per 5 year on and the and to go with protests over the weekend has something changed in china when it comes to what people expect. 2 years into the corporate panoramic definitely, i think it was a quite a story even though we don't know if it will continue or not, but not for many a chinese. it was really quite an encouraging moment to see that some people were daring to go out and to protest, and there was unheard of, i mean, really an unimaginable just 2 years ago the, it has completely changed the moods here. but the frustration was rising so much that people had the feeling. ok, we are fed up, we have nothing to lose. we just do it in one once a few did it, then you know,

others joined in and they united and they realize ok, feet are really the masters. then we have a voice and we have some power to speak up program thanks very much for their drop, frederick crestmarc joining us from bridging and that's about it for to day. there's of course, more updates from the region on our website, d, w dot com, forward slash asia, and as ever you can follow us on facebook and twitter over back tomorrow. at the same time, we'll see you then to buy and they were trained in england. but now they're shaking up with bellingham, jamal lucila, and collin hudson. enjoy. these young stars are major players in their clubs.
