guy a can is full cultural history, secret weapon taken december 3rd on d w. ah, this is a dublin years live from by and more standoff so that china's kind of a 19 restrictions anti lockdown protestors confront security forces in the southern city of graham shoot authorities east some restrictions, but campaigners refuse to back that also on the program,

china's former leader jan mid dies, age 96. you bought the country on the wolf state. the beijing olympics was also criticized or religious persecution. nato foreign ministers pledge more weapons and money for the crime underlying their support for key joining. the alliance and a new drug is shown to slow mental decline in the early stages of outside. but it comes with side effects. ah, i'm so gale, welcome to the program. chinese authorities are redoubling their efforts to stand power to unrest over beijing's 0 coven policy. students seen as leading the protest against lockdown restrictions have been sent home police on the streets in force. but despite the authorities also relaxing, some subs there is still widespread descent. oh,

it's a display of public rage not seen in china for decades. and what began as a position to strict anti covet restrictions, has moved into something bigger, a thinly disguised challenge to those on power from beijing to hong kong. we don't want all thorough terrorism. we want human wides. we don't want monarchy done. why? oh, no law. the protests have become too loud to ignore the ruling. communist party has staged a massive show of force by security services and about a resolute crack down on what it's labeled sabotage activities by hostile forces. oh, this is what the crime down looked like in guangzhou through the lance of a citizens mobile phone. large numbers of police and personal protective equipment

. patrolling the streets with riots, shields here and, and other major cities. people reported that their mobile phones were checked for photos, band apps, or other potential evidence that they had taken part in the demonstrations. beijing has made clear it went, tolerate descent or hulu. so far, china is a country governed by the room and the variously a ride sewage items enjoyed by chinese citizens, are fully guaranteed in accordance with the law at the same time. and he royal, so freedom must be exercised with the framework of the law, hourly con johnny shoes. in an apparent concession to demonstrate his authorities have east some anti cove at measures and announced a new purse to vaccinate venerable grapes. that it may not be enough to quell this type of anger. in a recent video also from guangzhou protest as can be seen toppling

a p c r testing tent and throwing objects at dr. police ah, over the last few days, demonstrations had also spread beyond china's borders. these people protesting in toronto, canada, containing old ascent. everywhere is a challenge. even the powerful chinese communist party is unlikely to win more. c but got more on this from journalist fabric crutch more. who's in the beijing? welcome fabian, and what impact of these protests actually having where they appear to be at that appear to have some impact in gone, draw this, the city where anti locked and protest broke out. and the city announced quite a substantial easing of pandemic. rules are many of the locked dance have been lifted, schools have reopened, and the city wide mass testing has been suspended and that is significant. but of

course, it's only in one city and many other parts of the country, the lockdown to continue the transferring em into current teen centers. continuous . so let's see how that works out. but the pandemic demands were only one part of what the protesters have requested. a, there were also very political, a protest, many asked for freedom. they asked for a rule of law for human rights. and for those political aspects, the chinese government has made more than clear that it will repress those claims, and it will counter them with a heavy police presence as can be seen here in beijing, but also in other cities. and are really a campaign of intimidation that stay with us or fabric as wait, we're going to talk about another story coming out of china. and that's the death of the former leader jang jam been at the age of $96.00. and he came to power just after the massacre of pro democracy activists in chairman square in 1989 and introduced economic reforms that turned china into a manufacturing a power house junction and also oversold return of hong kong from the u. k. and

macau, from portugal the 2008 version olympics for china on the world stage. john was also criticized over the repression of fallon gul religious minority so fabulous craft rome invasion and clearly a very important figure in chinese history. yes, i mean, i think he's leaving him very ambivalent legacy, but also legacy as an economic reformer that until this day actually has not been fully appreciated. in my opinion, he came to power in 1993 as a president, and at that time he was made mostly seen as a compromise solution as a bureaucrat. but that turned out to be a false assessment. so politically, he will be remembered and criticized for the very violent and correct on of the final gong religious sect, and are on the, at the same time, economically. he was a reformer under his presidency,

china and earl joined the world trade organization, which was a huge milestone in the economic rise of china. and or what i find really very interesting is that a while he was in power actually gentlemen, was not particularly popular, but now there's a huge nostalgia for him. and i think the reason is because his personality, his political leadership is quite different than the leadership that we have. now i give you one idea. i mean gentlemen, he was a person in public appearances. he can be seen, you know, or singing elvis presley songs, or when he met the philippine president. he was actually on a 60 minute interview show with the legendary u. s. t a television journalist mike wallace and was quoting abraham lincoln. he gave her a press conference for journalists where they could ask critical questions. i mean, all those things are seem very unheard of an unimaginable now. and the youth really thinks, wow, what a leader. and he exposed himself to john and his question, he was really, he showed very genuine emotions and he seemed very close to the people. that's quite a contrast to what we have now. right. and there had been rumors of his death for

some time. i think it's, it, it's interesting that the announcement has been made during these a cove in protest. i could his death be useful to either side. and in this current controversy. yes, there are many ways of interpretation. so under, at one hand, it was also the death of a chinese politician in $9089.00, which in turn was leading to the t. n. m. and protest, i mean, the biggest protest movement which was correct on a violent in $9089.00. and now we have, of course, again, a political movement, a protest movement which is not as big as before, but i mean, it's still quite historic and of course, or there could be some nervousness within the leadership to that gentleman's death could again, you know, sparks a morning which could, you know, bring the protesters or to the street, but then there are also some other people who said may be jumped them in, was already dead for several days. and the leadership only announced it now because they want to distract some attention from the protest movement,

and they want to use it for their purpose. it's really hard to tell. this is all speculation. like if i were in fabric quadra in beijing, take a look at some or stories making news around the world. now. 3 chinese asked lots of successfully dr. jan gong space station they blasted offer earlier from the gobi desert on a 6 month permission to complete its construction. the station is the show piece of a china space ambitions of a house of the russian parliament as unanimously approved a bill further restricting the promotion of algae beauty writes the new measures criminalize the promotion of what they call non traditional sexual relations online and in public human rights groups say the bill will effectively outlaw all same sex relationships with in russia. for people have been killed in a suicide attack in pakistan. bomber blew himself up in the city of keta and near a truck carrying police who are escorting health workers. pakistan taliban says

that it carried out the attack. nato has promised to stand by ukraine as russian as strikes target the country's critical infrastructure, leaving millions without power and heating, meeting in the romanian capital, bucharest, nato. foreign ministers agreed to send a power generators, fuel and medical supplies. as ukraine prepares for a tough winter, your secretary of state antony blank and said russia strategy of targeting civilians would not affect the alliances resolve. we are clear eyed about the difficult mentor that lies ahead. we know president putin's play book, freeze and starve ukrainians. force them from their homes, drive up energy, food and other household cos, not only across europe, but around the world. and then try to splinter our coalition. present boone thinks that if he can just raise the cost high enough,

the world will abandon ukraine. that will leave them defend for themselves. his strategy has not and will not work. we will continue to prove him wrong. that's what i heard loudly and clearly from every country here in bucharest. i did only sandra phenomena is at that meeting in bucharest. welcome, alexandra, interesting. but basically it is. talk is not about to weapons and tanks. this is about equipment and supplies. how important is that it is crucial for ukraine as the country is facing constant attacks on its energy infrastructure . and russia has said, bombed one 3rd of this infrastructure over the last few weeks, according to the u. s. administration. so it's clear that the ukraine urgency needs what nato allies are offering generators, power, transformers, other equipment,

the u. s. alone has pledged to provide ukraine with more than 50000000. you asked dollars. however, we also have to say that the ukranian foreign minister was also present here, made to clear once again today that what ukraine also wants is, for instance, you as are for instance, you asked made patriot missile defense systems. and that is something that allies will talk about according to nato secretary general tolten beck, but a decision on that on whether those systems can be provided to ukraine has not been made yet right later. foreign ministers have also been trying to calm fears among rushes neighbors about political and economic instability caused by this war. how successful half a brain? well i think that it was important to have those countries here, bosnia herzegovina, georgia, and moldova,

because nato allies wanted to make it clear that they want to close a partnership that they want to support those partners. and they wanted to counter rushes influence in those regions. because of course, they understand in those countries are under a lot of pressure from russia. mold over, for instance, half of the country today was without power because of russia's attacks on infrastructure in neighboring ukraine. so you can understand that supports by nato allies is welcome by all those countries. germany alone has pledged to provide more dover, for instance, with a 30000000 euros a to help the country a, whether a severe energy crisis it is facing. and china also on the agenda a. where does it figure in nato strategic thinking? well, china is becoming more and more important when we looked at nato,

the native strategic concept that was approved earlier this year. china is described there as a challenge to the ally insecurity, it's interest and bell use. and of course we also know that you ask would like the european partners, the european allies, to move on from only asserting china is a challenge to addressing this challenge. so the discussion on that is still going on. however you as secretary of state of blink and told here, reporters that is not about taking nature to asia. but it is important from his perspective to have a common approach because only addressing china is a challenge. collectively, allies will be successful. thank you. run gunner anaconda phenomena in bucharest. human rights, russia, excuse me, russian human rights activists. a 9000 russian soldiers have died since the war in

ukraine began. these almost 300, i said to be men who were mobilized with, with the criminal still far from it stated objectives in ukraine, many inside vladimir putin in a circle, a concert. this report from w corresponded to your wish confusion about the reasons for going to war, few gains on the ground and the chaos of mobilization. the war ukraine is not going well for russia. the withdrawal of troops from house on, at the beginning of november, was moscow's biggest set back since the world began. hotline, as in moscow, had been grumbling, ever since 3 of the loudest have been businessman yevgeny pre goshen. chechnya and leader graham's unclear of, and former president dmitri mcdade, if for goshen, when a flat m. f, curtains close, his confidant is making himself especially noticeable for years he

denied the existence of his mercenary army, the volcanic group. but recently he changed his story and said he's been in charge of the paramilitary organization since 2014 and a global rebooting integration has 2 political instruments. you the wagner group and the media outlets that have helped him gain popularity and status. law. latanus to switch to nebraska, everyone responds, all know, sure, sure. cool. rosena from michigan. he's a kind of external service provider for the state. he has some of the power in the state and acts as a political figures. you brought him in mid september, a video came out that showed a man who looked like promotion, recruiting russian prisoners to fight in ukraine, dealing with an important what their mouth walk,

their reward freedom more and money. his cash. he's another putin ally who has been all over the headlines since the war began. is rums on career of chechnya. leda has publicly criticized rushes generals for being too soft on luck. on i looked at in the united year of is using the media to broaden his influence and to show everyone that he is a major player or chrome. we're still on dozer. still to regroup. chechen soldiers a fighting on rushes side in the dumbass region. cook children's career of is being used by putting just like promotion to recruit fresh troops for the front lies meant v 8 f, who served as president and prime minister has been stoking the fires of anti western hatred and making optimistic predictions that russia were when the war and ukraine, pneumonia he is even said that nuclear weapons are the way to give brush

a battle. it's for my imperial glory, se lucia muster. una sure. what is the la massage? so you always just from the he has a need for admiration of the former president who has become a nobody you yesterday. i think he wants to an political capital. he seems to still have political ambitions and it's just how much pre goshen cordero immediate. if a putting president putin under pressure is unclear, but 9 months into the war in ukraine, displeasure is growing in russia over its course. uh some good news and there's hope for alzheimer's patients. as for the 1st time, an experimental drug has been confirmed to slow mental decline in sufferers. the drug, la camara, reduced overall cognitive decline by 27 percent of 18 months. with the trial involving the 1800 people shows the drug can also produce side effects,

such as brain bleeds and swelling. while the benefits are so far a small doctors welcome the result is a significant step towards a, a treatment of 4 outsiders. you know, i've been waiting for this. we said that this approach might work 30 years ago. and you know, if you'd asked me 30 years ago how long it would take, i'd say 5 to 10 years. so for me it's, it seems definitely momentous. i think for patience it a real step forward, a real step forward. australian dishonest receptacle stevens from d. w. science. welcome paper. so i have to emphasize this drug dealer in its experimental stages. but tell us why it's giving so much. hm. yeah, i mean one ad charity described there as the 1st real treatment option that could be available for alzheimer's patients. now the backdrop to this is the outcome is

drugs have a very, very high failure rate, more than 99 percent. they're in that are in development and that's because the alzheimer's is still somewhat a mystery to science. not as much is understood about it as compared to cancer, for example. and obviously if you don't understand too much bananas, it's very difficult. her development develop treatments for it and the drug is an, yeah, it comes in the market of no drug competitor for it. and there are drugs available at the moment to treat the symptoms of alzheimer's, but not slow the on to have disease. so if there was a drug approved by drug regulators around the world that would slow the onset, the disease, that could be huge. so explain to us how it works is drug la cannot map. so the whole mark of alzheimer's disease, one of the hallmarks is the build up of 2 proteins on the brain called amyloid and how these kind of funny sticky packs that can be very damaging to the brain associated with these symptoms of cognitive decline like memory loss and confusion

and changes in behavior. and what kind of my does is it contains antibodies that attach themselves to these m a malloy proteins and flack them up to the bodies immune system to the body. to mean system comes along and breaks down the proteins and can go some way to destroying these plaques. and that's why we're saying that 2027 percent reduction in the unsaved of cognitive decline in this study. ok, barbara, some concerns. yeah. so there were more cases of plate on the brain and brain swelling in the trial of patients who tried the drug compared to patients who just had a placebo. some research is the saying 20 some percent, you know nothing to get wildly. i said about this study only let to 18 months, so there's question marks about long term impacts of it. it was only looked at and patients who haven't had out time is very long. and we know that early diagnosis of all time is, is a real issue. so if it is approved, this drug could potentially target a small group of people that medical dog agencies around the world will be looking now at those at those matters in the long term effects and the side effects.

and that's for them to decide whether or not it's safe for the public at large. ok . so good news at this stage, fingers crossed thanks so much for paper. paper. stevens from d. w. science history has been made is being made at the worker tar fee for how selected an all female officiating team for a man's world cup. for the 1st time ever, stephanie, for part of france, will be a head referee for the or female female officiate the crucial match between costa rica and germany. on thursday, the 38 year old girls refereed a mens woke up qualifier in march and then jumping to the game in 2020. on the 2019 . you wait for super cut? 5. she said, the inclusion of an old female teeming guitar is a strong sign from fever. and

exactly how we've been one of our son problems at all to try and take a look at some more woke up news. iran a battled with the united states on tuesday evening for the right to move on to the round of 16. the rain insides come under government pressure after refusing to sing the national anthem. in the 1st game, i was in support of supporters back home. still their hopes of advancing fell short with reports about the iranian government, putting immense pressure on the team. the players were singing the national anthem without a great deal of enthusiasm and accompanied by booze and whistling from fans. the game kicked off at the u. s. were in control after a half hour. it was timothy whale with the 1st big chance, but his header like power and precision. 10 minutes later it was western mc kenny's perfect cross into the run of sir geno desk who squared it to kristin pool as aj.

chelsea's attacker puts the u. s. one nella head. however, while the fans were going wild pool, as it was in a lot of pain, after crashing into the iranian goalkeeper, he was pulled out at half time. iran had very few chances to tie it up, but in the ninety's 2nd minute it was center back mortise up a rally, gum g. he missed the goal with this header. the game finished one nil joy for the u . s. fans dismay for the iranians. who can still be proud of their effort in this tournament, both on and off the pitch awakes of anti government, protests and iran, half inspired a wave of actions in solidarity around the world. it's not just campaign us taking to the streets. a culture is also rising, its voice. one of germany's fascinating theaters is highlighting the coverage of iran's women. oh, boy and iranian love song from the 1970s. the prelude to itself out evening at the berliner ensemble theatre. it was initiated by 3 well known german arabian

actresses and their colleagues cindy mentioned instant allan iran who are in danger, who are risking their lives. what we can do is simply amplify their voices, and we can empower them based on my and as a mark of remembrance, the names of 62 children and young people killed in the demonstration o as ability. it isn't light entertainment. ah, it's an evening of many voices, sometimes with a soft and melancholy tone. must on the text read by iranian poets and writers such as naveed kamani often deal with suffering. jesus and death fought gabor alonzo. but beauty and change are also marty. that executes u, as in the work of famous persian poet, huffy boy a boy ad and should add to em, rose bef, either fe,
