we don't do something our children won't be able to enjoy fresh air with sleep on d w. mm ah ah, this is dw live from burly chinese authorities step up efforts to crush unrest against cove. it restrictions violent. clashes break out overnight in the city of one job as police confronts protested. authorities vow to suppress what they call the hostile forces stoking descent. also coming up the west accuses russia of using

the winter as a weapon of war and pledges more weapons and more money for you. correct. last the u. s. score one goal against iran, and that's all they need to get through to the knockout round of 16 at the football world cup in cut. ah, i'm glad else as well come to the program in china, police and protesters half clashed overnight as demonstrations against harsh cove at 19 measures. continue of ireland confrontation took place in to wednesday morning in the southern city of juan ju video footage on social media shows protestors throwing rocks at security forces with riots, shields,

and protective suits. china, it's ruling communist party has said it will, quote, resolutely cracked down on infiltration and sabotaged by hostile forces. ortiz bolstered police presence in major city in an attempt to suppress further demonstrations. and earlier i spoke with journalist fabi encroachment and begging for more on those classes. in the southern city of washing the videos seem to be from last night, it shows that residents were clashing with the police. the police dressed in full helmet suits their hair wearing shields to protect themselves. the residents are throwing rocks at the police. and, you know, those are protests, we don't know the details, but they seem to be anti locked on protests. why? because they happen in the same district where similar incidents happened before 2 weeks ago. and let me tell you, those incidents are really extremely risky. this is a survey in state and china has a lot of measures to track down. are people who participated in those are yeah,

a form of civil disobedience and they get punished. i mean, it's really quite rare and risky to do so. now, do you think that the protests actually are having an impact? well locked down, still continue. also the mandatory transferring of suspected colbert cases to current teen centers continues. the 0 covey policy in general also continues. well, i expect that, you know, the, the government is listening to some demands of the protest us, namely, it will be cautious to not, or, you know, provoked too much additional public anger. i'm sure about that. but every political demand by the protesters will be met with a lot of repressions. we know that by now there was clearly stated also by the government who has given basically a kia, wanting here and beijing at the 1st night of the protest in sunday night. the police was rather cautious, but anything that that happened further over continue will be met with repression.

now, how a chinese media reporting on these protests, what not directly, or there are some wake mentions of, you know, the stability must be upheld, it cetera. but there are no direct mentions of the protest themselves, but on social media we see a campaign of, you know, influence us who basically spread conspiracy series about anti china forces are quote, unquote, foreign forces. who, you know, they provoke those protests or even at the u. s. government paying those protesters, which of course there is no credible claim for, nor for proofs at all. bob in customer, they're reporting from her beijing, thank you from him. and he has a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. free chinese astronauts have successfully dr. that young gong space station for a 6 month mission to complete the stations construction. they blasted off from china's go be desert on tuesday. young space station is the centerpiece,

needed, as well as anything that can help people survive the harsh conditions of war and the winter. nato members say they will stand by ukraine. president putin is trying to weaponized winter to force ukraine is to freeze or flee. he is trying to break the will of the brave ukrainian people and to do either all of us who support them. but ukraine's list of needs also includes more ammunition and more weapons. defense systems in ukraine are currently being destroyed faster than they can be delivered from ukraine foreign minister to meet your caliber, once nato, to speed up the process of a burglar decisions on weapons decision on launching view, production lines of weapons in western countries. they have to be made, foster and delivery of weapons have to make,

have to be done foster. in order to strengthen ukraine. self defense need a relies primarily under fence of technologies that can ward off attacks or clear minds. nato members, in bucharest, stood unified, vowing again to support ukraine, as long as needed. location is highly symbolic. it was here in 2008 that need a draft to perspective for ukraine to possibly join somebody in the future. grants president vladimir zalinski says his forces face a difficult situation defending the east of the country against russian attacks. in his overnight address, he said, russian troops are attempting to break through ukrainian defences of multiple points on the front line slides and novel situation at the front is difficult and will despite heavy losses, the russians are still trying to advance in the next region. lou hands region and the hockey region. they're also planning something in the south la road and some of

the heaviest fighting in the east is around the town of back mort. i asked mike martin, a former british army officer and a fellow at the war studies department of kings college london for the latest. so the fighting around battens has been going on for a couple months actually. and it's reminiscent of what we had in the 1st world war with, with change systems in march and the opposing forces just tens of meters away from each other. and what the russians are trying to do at the moment is get around the, the flanks of the ukrainian forces to encircle them in a city which is a trick that ukrainians abuse on the russians quite a lot. so far they've been unsuccessful. both sides taking very heavy casualties in the lines aren't moving very much about mode has doesn't have any of the strategic value in russia is still seems determined to take it even at the cost of as you say, heavy casualties. is it just to circle or the ukrainian forces?

are there other reasons as well? you're absolutely right. you're absolutely right. in military terms, the city has no great value. it is not a railway junction, for example. but what it is is it's part of the region and your viewers are probably remember the president putin. ready way to bring the next in the hands, the dumbass region into russia. and that is merely another city, or another large town in that process of bringing those 2 blasts into russia. so really, this is putin is directing this because once he's taken lance burnett, then he's in a position say all that we want in ukraine. we can pull out of other areas. no rush and strikes as we've been reporting for weeks on the cranes power grid have

of course, blackouts across the country. is this also having an effect on ukraine's ability to fight at the front? well, it's sort of tactical, military sense, not really. a military is tend to come with their own power generations that have, you know, generators that they run their own equipment off in a strategic sense. it does because what the destruction of the power grid does is it means that ukraine's leaders both civilian and military have to focus on getting critical supplies to say, for example, hospitals or traffic control and stuff like that. and that taking up of that time is time that they would otherwise be spending thinking about how to beat the russians in military sense. mike martin, they're from the war service department, kings college london. thank you very much, mike. thank you. ah,
