stayed with the beijing amend picks, but was also criticized for religious persecution. and new hope for outsiders patients tests, drugs slows mental decline in the early stages of the disease. but there can be side effects. ah i'm fil gail a welcome to the program. chinese authorities are redoubling their efforts to stamp out on breast over beijing's 0 co. we'd policy students seen as leading the protest seconds. lockdown, restrictions have been sent home. a police are on the streets in force, but despite the authorities also relaxing some curbs, 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 rights. we don't want monarchy done well . well render y'all far, no law. the protests have become too loud to ignore. the ruling. communist party has staged a massive show of full spice security services, and about a resolute crack down on what it's labeled sabotage activities by hostile forces. oh, this is what the crank down looked like in guangzhou through the lance of a citizen's marble phone. lodge numbers of phillies and personal protective equipment. patrolling the streets with riot 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 who was so far, china as a country governed by the room and the various legal rights suit. freedoms 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 ali khan jarlet shoes in an apparent concession to demonstrate his authorities have east some anti cove at measures and announced a new purse to vaccinate vulnerable grapes. that it may not be enough to quell this type of anger. in a recent video also from glancing, protestors can be seen toppling a p. c r, testing 10th, 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 when laura will journalist fabio crunch for is in beijing. i asked him how much of an impact the protests are having where they appear to be at that appear to have some impact in gone, joe, that's 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, 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 aid. there were also very political protests 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 are fabulous. 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 town, him and square in 1989 and introduced economic reforms that turned china into a manufacturing a power house junction and also oversold the return of hong kong from the u. k. and macau, from portugal, the 2008 beijing olympics for china on the world stage. john was also criticized over the repression of fallon gull,

religious or 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 a 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 barrel credit. but that turned out to be a false assessment. so politically, he will be remembered and criticized for the very violent and correct on the file on gong religious sect and are on the, at the same time, economically. he was a reformer under his presidency, china ur joint, the world trade organization, which was a huge milestone in the economic rise of china. and 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. to a television journalist mike wallace and was quoting abraham lincoln, he, i 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 while what a leader in he exposed himself to journalist 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 said 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, yet 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 down 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 are there could be some nervousness within the leadership to that gentleman. death could again, you know, spark some morning which could, you know, bring the protest or to the street. but then there are also some other people who said maybe jammed them in was already dead for several days. and the leadership only announced that 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 me this is all speculation. like if i were in fabric quadra in beijing, i will take a look at some more stories making news around the world. now,

a letter bomb has exploded at the ukranian embassy in madrid, in madrid, entering amount injuring a member of staff, spanish police, our manager was handling the last, when the device went off, crane says it will tighten security at its embassies. the upper house of vio, russian parliament, has unanimously approved a bill further restricting. the promotion of algae bt writes the new measures criminalize the promotion of so called non traditional sexual relations online and in public human rights groups. say the bill will effectively outlaw all same sex relationships in russia. oh, experimental drug is bringing new hope for alzheimer's patients. the treatment called la canon, mab. i succeeded in slowing mental deterioration in sufferers for the 1st time. scientists say it's not a cure, but it is a significant step forward in tackling a devastating illness. when you know it's a rare beat of good news for david asam and his loved ones, the 70 year old woodworker had to quit his job. when he was hit by alzheimer's. he

slowing down the symptoms of cognitive impairment and also the behavioral symptoms associated with alzheimer's disease. they have been concerns over side effects which include brain swelling. 2 people have died while 14 percent of the trial participants suffered brain bleeds. scientists, however stress that the same number of those given a placebo, also died. the producer stress that the new treatment is not a cure for alzheimer's, but it does bring hope for people like david. just a horrible, nasty thing. so if you, if you, if somebody can slow it down and then eventually cut it, stop, don't go over. you know, be brilliant. the companies behind the drag are now planning to apply for licensing, which would make it available for treatment within 2 to 3 years.
