secret latin mistaken starts descend the said on d w. ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin tonight. the wes promising more aid for ukraine as winter begins to buy. neither was accusing russia, abusing cold weather as a weapon of war. allies of ukraine to day pledging more military equipment, as well as more money. also coming up tonight, china cracking down harder on protest against it. 0 covey pulse. police are targeting individual campaigners and checking cellphones for evidence of illegal

activity. and that emotional rollercoaster at the world cup where ecuador ready to advance to the next round, only to see synagogue go through winsted. ah, i'm bring got our viewers watching on p b. s in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome to night nato's allies are promising to increase aid to ukraine as the country prepares for a tough winter made worse by moscow bombing of the country's energy infrastructure . meeting in romania to day. native leaders pledge to step up their support for keep with millions of ukrainian still without power or heating. native says that it will now send a fuel power generators, medical supplies,

and more non lethal military day. this also, the secretary general in stoughton, very spoke following talks with ukraine's foreign minister today. and he stressed that nato's main priority now is providing ukraine with immediate support maintaining and resupply the country's military with equipment equipment that has already been delivered. president putin is trying to weaponized winter to force ukrainians to freeze or flee. he is trying to break the will of the brave u. k. and the people and to divide all of us who support them. but our meeting here because this is sending a strong message of natal unity and sustained support for your crane. nato is not the party to the war. but we will continue to support ukraine for as long as it takes we will not back down. what does that mean exactly?

corresponded been very good. he is in bucharest, and i asked him what ukraine can expect now from native dan stoughton back and also the german foreign minister. another burbock as the president of the g 7 group drummed up support for ukraine today. they are collecting pledges for what they call winter aid. that means a spare parts a generate as transformers to repair the power grid in ukraine that is relentlessly attacked by russian miss sides. it also means things like blankets, tense, supplies, to make it possible for you craniums to get through other mostly, most likely, harsh winter this year. and, but this is served not actually in concrete numbers, only the united states have pledged 57000000 euros, and germany has pledged 150000000 years. so the tabulation is still going on. and

dimitra caliber, the ukrainian foreign minister who joined the nato meeting he and bucharest, presented along a wishlist to the native ministers. he said, of course, winter 8 is welcome. but what ukraine really needs are anti missile systems to stop the russian miss hides coming in to ukraine and destroy the, the grid for 1st of all. and he's asking for patriot systems. this heidi sophisticated american anti missile systems that have never been delivered to ukraine. so far, and nato secretary general as start next at discussions on the patriots are going on, but there were no real pledges on that. and only some hints that the alliance and that nato members actually might think about it. yeah, it is possible to push back the forces of the russian military. we know you can't

stop the forces of mother nature and rigor in bucharest, been thank were now to the baltics in their battle in this war that the, when he is a foreign minister has just returned from a visit to cave. d. w. 's, alexander phenomena. she asked him, what you grain needs most right now. first that worry is electricity. ah, that deficit now reaches to 20 from 20 to 30 percent or on a daily basis. that means it's either 20 percent of people do not have electricity or 20 percent of time. they are being shut out and, and blacked out from, from the electricity. so this is the most urgent need. second thing that we've always been reminded by our friends in ukraine on we're reminding our friends during these meetings is yes, heavy weaponry. because this is the only way how to ensure that the war and favorably fought for ukraine rushes are pushed out. and that there's a 11 back. so therefore the argument is that we need to send thanks a battle,

thanks because they are now the main technology that could change or the war faster and 9 and, and help you green when faster. and lastly, i think that's not necessarily is very high on our agenda in europe, but it's very high on ukraine. an agenda is accountability are they are asking and they are one to be be pot, b, a nucleus of special trevino, and newbern type, a special juvenile that would ask for accountability for the act of aggression. the so called mother of all crimes. because if not for aggression, other crimes would not be committed. so these are requests that we are away hearing that we are considering and are trying to build a consensus in, in different alliances in nato, in your opinion. and in order to support these claims with russia, attacks continuing on their kill, ukrainian power, great sir, germany and diaz and also other nations are trying to coordinate their efforts to

help you. crane rebuilt its power grid, but it seems is to little slate. what would you say about that? no, i mean, many of the countries have been surprised by the us is scope of how much damage did russia manage to do in a quite short, a time. with that, with drones at it procured with missiles. i did house on its own and demanded damages is, is very substantial about 90 percent of electricity grid has been affected. so yes, the, the effort to rebuild is, is very difficult. but that does not mean that we need to let our hands down. we need to do everything we can, that the critic come from. it would be rebuilt and defendant that, you know, one thing is, is to rebuild. and the other thing is, and not to allow it to be damaged for the 2nd or 3rd stime. so those 2 things apparel and i think that there's a wide understanding that this needs needs to happen. you queens wish to join nato?

it seems not to be very realistic right now with some natal member saying this is not the right time to talk about it. what is your position on that? i believe that it is the right time to talk about it and, and i'm talking about it because when we're thinking about what will happen after the war, a new architecture is a good. the architecture will need to be crated in european continent. it was, it was damaged. we fill it in lithuania because we are less secure or with, with russia attacking and having to neighbors, russia, and, and, and bell. it was just on our, on our water. i. so we need to create something, something that is new, and how do you create new architecture without a integral country in the european con, in ukraine? so i think it's unavoidable that we, we need to talk about this and we need to find the best solution. yes, for the baltic sandeval, if anyone has and at the best solution is, is article 5. yes, there should be conditions. yes. we need to know defined at the time when this needs to happen. i personally don't think that there's a lot of room to,

to thing about something, something different if we want are in a nato to actually really to have a, as a strong alliance in nato and the war in you. great. now to china, reports are emerging tonight that authorities there are seeking out individuals who took part in rallies against coven 19 restrictions over the we kept beijing is now clamping down on the biggest display of public to set, seen in the country. since the tenement square approach as back in 1989 police patrols are checking people, cell phones, universities are sending some students home, raging against 3 years of coven lockdown measures, protest. pete at historic levels. never seen during the era of president eugene pain. it sickle to thumb that she's power in his 3rd term could be tested. we don't want authoritarianism, we want human rights. we don't watch

a monarchy. but after unprecedented demonstrations in china and elsewhere, and clashes with police over the weekend, anger appears to have simmered, and police who are out and greater numbers, appear to have more control on the streets. to water for china is a country governed by the rule of law and the various legal rights and freedoms enjoyed by chinese citizens are fully guaranteed in accordance with the law. at the same time, any rights and freedoms must be exercised within the framework of the law ali calling gently shoes. activists are under threat of investigation for their role, and the pushback against cobit lockdown measures and political oppression. now, the possibility of repercussions seems to have reduced the size of the protest. china's biggest wave of discontent under she has also been met with the relaxation

of some lockdown measures like east social distancing rules and coven 19 testing exemptions for seniors. and people who work from home a sign that the people's voices and frustrations might be getting through to chinese authorities. and here's a link now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. china has launched 3 astronauts into earth orbit to complete construction of its new space stage joint wants to operate the station for about 10 years. it has invested millions and the project. the iranian army says that more than 300 people have been killed and nationwide anti government protest. now that number is lower than what human rights groups have been predicting for testing the wrong began after the death of a young woman who was arrested by the country's morality police. but with the allies of gel belushi in opposition. leader maria calistin. cova say that she has

been admitted to intensive care in the hospital. the news was announced on telegram, however, no reason for her hospitalization has been given. holistic olva is an outspoken critic of belarus leader some good, alexander lucas, inca. thousands of people have been protesting against attacks on kurdish groups in both syria and iraq. turkey and iran have intensified action directed at the kurtz. iran, his lunch drone strikes in iraq while turkey has hit what it calls kurdish militant post in northern syria. ankara has already announced plans for a ground offensive, but daily life in kurdish areas. it's already been disrupt. when mohammed sony man drives through his village near the turkish border, it's like driving through a ghost town. the syrian current says nearly every one has fled from here. the

attacks of the last few days left no other choice were not on with the gym. udo and we were bombed by turkish drones. why our families have lived here for hundreds of years. there's no military presence here in the village. nobody from the syrian democratic forces. nobody from the p k. k. hassan, he feels he, the, those groups are kurdish militias and political parties. turkey blamed them for a bomb attack in ist and bull 2 weeks ago that killed 6 allegations. the kurds deny circus. artillery is already firing a kurdish positions in syria, trying to enlarge a buffer zone. turkeys as it wants to stop, so called terrorists from crossing the border. but many curds said, is the turks who are the terrorists. madame va, get it said the turkish state be allowed to continue its fascist occupation policy and massacre are people who are shedding. let's tell them that we are prepared, was that our armed forces are ready for a big war to vacate the we shady,

the odd. we can. it's a bitter pill for the kurds of syria and iraq after they made huge sacrifices fighting the so called islamic state demonstrators in this border town. say that if the west abandons the kurds now, it will betray its former partners attacked from both sides. betrayed again. i asked her was simon region, the iraqi kurdish city of your bill? what people they are the kurds, what they're say. well, many of the people here that we've been speaking to in syria and, and, and in iraq right here. many of the kurdish people, they actually seeing this as an orchestrated attack by the iranians and the turks. i wouldn't go that far. um the 2 conflicts are very different from each other. the attackers are very different from each other, and a tech groups are very different. they are some similarities in both conflicts. they're both old conflicts that have escalated recently and they're both have

a domestic dimension, if you will. you mentioned amin in the report mentioned the allegations by the turks. so in regard to the east double bumping, the iranians are trying to, to claim that the kurdish groups in iraq are somewhat to blame for the, the protests in iran. this is, of course, a claim that is not based on, on truth because the to protest in iran are brought a protest by the whole iranian society, not just by a could his group and not certainly by curtis group abroad. um, so there are some similarities. i wouldn't say it's a common move, but it's certainly bad timings for the kurtz, their timing for the kurds. and who can the kurds turn to in that report? they said that they, they feel like they've been double crossed once before by the american friends. are they afraid that they could be ignored a 2nd top there's really

a high level of frustration among the kurdish community, especially in syria. there have been fighting isis terrorists for many years. they actually had decisive victories against global terrorism. they fought along western allies and now they feel abandoned. they feel that especially the american airlines are not by their side anymore. and they're really trying their best to convince the americans, but also the russians to talk to the turkish or to talk to the, the turks, to not go ahead with this plant ground offensive. but the only president out a gun would see whether this is actually a plan that he will consider. he has to, he is the one that needs to give the go for the ground offensive. and only he knows whether this will be coming in the next couple of days or not. yeah, you mentioned that is, i mean, i'm here to one and said that the strikes that we're seeing now are just the beginning. what, what are you hearing? how widely is a ground invasion?

well, as i said, only he knows if he goes ahead with it. i would say it sounds very likely and it sounds like he also because it has happened before. it wouldn't be the 1st ground offensive in recent years that turkey would have into syria and the kurdish people that we speak to the people that really represent the kurdish militia as the y p g s the f us forces. they certainly take the threats very seriously. they say they are prepared for whatever is coming there where they were there way. and yeah, they're in the position to, to, to have a war with turkey. yeah, it is definitely a volatile situation. we appreciate you reporting tonight. so i'm really joining us from irby, thanks and on the other side of the planets in the us state of hawaii, you people are being warned. be ready to leave. at short notice, bona lower volcano on big island is erupting for the 1st time in nearly 40 years.

the big island is getting bigger by the minute with disruption. is that correct? yes, these are sometimes it gets you get a thumb inside when the mountains us accumulates. not much amber, but right now on the top. so we got the lava flows adding surface area. and what about the dangers to the people nearby? talk me through that. i mean, what are you most concerned about for, for life when you see these spectacular sites? yes, the go sir, is that the activity might change in location because they ever cannot use their very dynamic one. so you can open a new he share some whereas and then now that we even need before and hopefully nation was back in the by hello, becky, this is james. yeah. and, and in the last 3 may, maybe they acted what people this reminded us of what we saw

a not very long ago in the canary islands. and there was another volcano erupting there. and there were fears that the, the toxic gases that were coming up, that if the wind change bet, people could find themselves in the middle of a toxic cloud. is that a danger also in hawaii? yes, sure. so this is another danger. yes. another no. and oxy data endorse of the house? it will is not very stable in the ask them to me, they will collapse these 3 dangerous are the most likely the occurrences, wilson, the, the last time that this volcano erupted was in 1984. so we're talking about almost 40 years ago, we'll volcanic eruptions in hawaiian. i mean, can we predict this, who will they remain a relatively rare event or is,

is that changing? so i mean who i am there full year year lively, came those lamps, the mom and oh, and the other one is he aware? so why this one was be quiet. he don't where was the knocking on the palm? and now you know, where is the, has become a bit quieter as the, the visa here there to mom? i know a me and are not 164 i'm we learn there. san hallmark, my design, it's the one the slate on that way. yes. yes. it's the strange case of the competing volcanoes in hawaii, eleanor revolt from the german research center for geosciences sciences. we appreciate your insights tonight. thank you. any ah, are right from the lumber flows to the soccer pitch as time now for the world cup. the final round of matches in the group stage is underway, starting with group a,

where the netherlands already through to the round of 16. the battle for the 2nd spot that was between ecuador in synagogue, and that winner would go forward. the loser, of course, would be out with incredible support from the stance it was all senegal. early on, he teresa gave found himself wide open in just the 3rd minute of the match, but missed from close range. thanks to a wind by the netherlands. this match day a tie would have been enough for ecuador to advance what just before half time, they gave away a penalty after some port timing by the defense. he's my ela, sorry, stepped up, and converted to make it one note to senegal. the 2nd half saw ecuador come alive, following a corner kick. it was mid here though. moiz this chi saddle, all alone on the back host. discord could have seen ecuador go through, but just seconds later, it was cynical with a set piece of their own captain cali. do coolly, bali smash the ball into the back of the net to one. and that was,

it's pandemonium for senegal, who qualify for the round of 16 for the 1st time since 2002. while it's heartbreak for ecuador, for knocked out, lo, sports corresponded daniel barcelona, as she is in katara, she told me that it was a throwing match. wow, i mean what a match, even as a neutral, you could feel your heart racing the entire time. i mean, senegal, they needed a when to get to the next round. they got that when they advanced for the only the 2nd time in their history. i mean, senegal, they are the reigning app con champions. so there was a lot of optimism surrounding this team. the tournament, i mean, of course with out there star player side your money, but they are very experience side. they've been together for a long time. their coach, i'll you see say he's a former player and he's been there since around 2015. so there's
