attacked by russian miss sides. it also means a things like blankets, tense supplies, to make it possible for ukrainians to get through the mostly most likely, harsh winter this year. and, but this is, sir, not actually in concrete numbers, only the united states have pledged 57000000 years, and germany has pledged 150000000 years. so the tabulation is still going on. and demetrius 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 r n t a missile systems to stop, the russian miss hides coming into your crane and destroy the, the grid or 1st of all and he's asking for patriot systems. this is

a highly 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 a lions, 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 well now to china, reports are emerging that authorities there are seeking out people who took part in rallies against covert at 19 walk downs over the weekend. beijing is clamping down on what has been the biggest display of public descent, seeing the countries of the tenement square protest back in 1989 police patrols are checking people, cell phones and universities are sending some students home raging against 3

years of cobit lockdown measures. protest, pete, and historic levels never seen during the era of president eugene pain it siegel to some 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 and 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. closer for china as a country governed by the rule of law and the various legal rights and freedoms enjoyed by chinese citizens. a fully guaranteed in accordance with the law. at the same time, any rights and freedoms must be exercised within the framework of the law. highly

cong, johnny schuster activists are under threat of investigation for their role and to push back against kobe 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 distance thing rules and coven 19 testing exemptions for seniors. and people who work from home, i find that the people's voices and frustrations might be getting through to chinese authorities. his elect now some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. political allies of jailed belushi, the opposition leader, maria felicity cova say that she has been admitted to intensive care in a hospital in bella roots. now the news was announced today on telegram. the reason for her hospitalization was given. phyllis nicola is an outspoken critic of bella,

reese's leader, alexander lucas shanker. china has launched 3 astronauts into earth orbit to complete construction of its new space station. china wants to operate the station for about 10 years. it's already invested millions in the project. thousands of people have been protesting against attacks and kurdish groups in syria and iraq, turkey and iran, if intensified action directed and the kurds. iran has launched drone strikes in iraq while turkey has hit what he calls kurdish militant pose in northern syria on korea has also announced plans for a ground offensive, but daily life in these kurdish areas. it's already being disrupted. when mohammed sully man drives through his village near the turkish border, it's like driving through a ghost town. the syrian card says nearly every one has fled from here. the attacks

of the last 2 days left no other choice, went 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 them. nobody from the p k. k. sunny fallacy. the. those groups are kurdish militias and political parties. turkey blames them for a bomb attack, an eastern bowl 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. turkey says it wants to stop so called terrorists from crossing the border. but many curds said, is the turks who are the terrorists, the head of the get it. so the church of 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 shaded the order. 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 abandoned the kurds, now it will betray its former partners. yet the kurds attacked from 2 sides betrayed again. i have journalist simon risha in the iraqi kurdish city of air bill, while people there are se well, many of the people here that we have been speaking to in syria and, and are 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 here tech groups are very different. there are some similarities in both conflicts. they're both old conflicts that have escalated or 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 bonding, the iranians are trying to erm to claim that the kurdish groups in iraq are somewhat to blame for them to protest in iran. this is of course, a claim that is not based on, on truth because they're there to protest in iran or brought a protest by the whole iranian society. not just by a courtesy group or 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. bare timing for the kurds, and who can the kurds turn to you in that report? they said that they, they feel like they've been double crossed once before by their american friends. or are they afraid that they could be ignored of 2nd top there's really a high level of frustration among the kurdish community,

especially in syria. they 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 allies, are not by their side any more. 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, and you mentioned that as i'm in a marijuana 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 ought to 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 other people that represent the kurdish militia as the y p g s the f of forces. they certainly take the threats very seriously. they say they are prepared for whatever is coming there where they were there way and out there in the position to to, to have a war with turkey. yeah, it is definitely a volatile situation. and we appreciate you reporting to night son richard, joining us from irby. they are work of action now. we grew b. iran needed just a tie against the us to get through to the round of 16. it did not happen. the americans speeding the iranians. one mill, the americans will move on to the knockout stage. the u. s. were in charge of the

game from the very 1st minute. it was christian, fullest exploring the games only goal after an assist iran got only a few chances in the 90 seconds minute. this one barely miss the go. us finish. secondly, the group and the heart broken iranians. 3rd, that means they have to go home synagogue had become the 1st african team to make it through to the round of 16 against ecuador synagogue, dominated the 1st half and took the lead. you see right there with this pill, the kick ecuador fall their way back into the game. and scored after a corner kick ecuador, knew that a draw would put them through to the next round. but just seconds later, synagogue had a chance with a set piece of their own, their man left all alone to score the 2. 1 game winters indigo, is through ecuador is also heading hope you're
