we don't do something our children won't be able to enjoy fresh air use with this leap on d, w. ah, ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin tonight, more unrest in china over the countries. cobit 19 locked down. protesters confronting security forces in the southern city of bon joe, even as some pandemic restrictions are being eat. also coming up tonight, native foreign ministers pledging more weapons and money,

or ukraine and underlining their support for keep joining the alliance one day. and new hope for all timers patients, a test drug slows mental decline in the early stages of the disease, but there can be serious side effects. and tonight will meet a team of transgender women footballers winning over one of the toughest neighborhoods in mexico city. and they're doing it for the message of unit ah, i'm break off to our viewers watching on p b as in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome, we begin tonight. in china authorities, there are redoubling their efforts to stamp out unrest over beijing's 0 cobit policy students seen as leading the protests against the lockdown restrictions. those students have been sent home and police are on the street in force and at

least 16 cities. but despite the authorities also relaxing some of the restrictions, there is still a wide spread unrest. oh 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. right? we don't want all authoritarianism. we want human rights, we don't want monarchy prime. waku andrea far, 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 crank down looked like in guangzhou through the lance of

a citizen's marble son. large numbers of police and personal protective equipment, patrolling the streets with riot shells. 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 when tolerates descent or hulu fought china as a country governed by the routine and the variously a ride suit. freedoms enjoyed by chinese citizens, are fully guaranteed in accordance with an o. at the same time, any royal sort of freedom is must be exercised with the framework of the law. the com, johnny shoes. in an apparent concession to demonstrate his authorities have east some anti cove at measures and announced a new purse to vaccinate vulnerable grades. that it may not be enough to quell this

type of anger. and a recent video also from going to 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. c worley, or i spoke to yoko wong, a senior shined a researcher for human rights watch. i asked her if the protests are becoming more and more about something more than just the pandemic. i think it's obvious that it's already about something else because some people are calling for a democracy in a rule of law. i am an even calling for president she to step down for the end of

the commies to party. lou is extraordinarily, came for people to say those things up wide are in public. i want to ask you too about the former chinese president jiang zemin, the reports that he has died at the age of 96 of his death. could it be useful politically for she's been paying in view of what is happening right now on the streets across china? well, i think i already see a lot of people morning and das of jones and me, it's less about and they really, you know, missed the time john was to president, is more about and they are using a das of gel using them warning or jazz them down to, you know, sent a message you would really don't like the current guy. so, and also i saw some people are saying, let's go to the street and to code a video commemoration of john. but you know, they wanted to use this event and to, you know,

show their that they don't like the current rule. they don't have a current, they don't like the current president and the current president use in ping. we could say that that his grip on power is stronger than the former president's ever was. is that grip now? is it beginning to be weakened? well, i think the protests on the street are a clear sign that, you know, people are very happy with da 0 cove in policy and people are connecting dot, you know, they know we have this abusive. i'll send tamika syrup. co policy is because of political system because this one man in beijing decide this for 1400000000 people and people have to suffer from he's one person decision. so i think that this is, is us rat. 2, he's on power vent, said johnny does have an incredible surveillance apparatus, uses artificial intelligence to keep check on it. citizens reports the chinese

believe spot checking people's mobile phones. i mean, if people want to protest and get away with the chances of them doing that in china, have to be incredibly small. right. i mean, the surveillance equipment government can deploy is not even exist 10 years ago, not to not say and not to mention that 40 years ago when it hadn't, as it happened. so i think it's, it's difficult for any kind of protests to sustain when the government had that kind of capability. that being said, you know, everyone wants to leave life with dignity. everyone wants freedom of speech and this is the kind of a power that it a party has to reckon with yoko wong senior, trying to research for human rights. once we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. yes, we have to look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around

the world. a court in mozambique has begun handing down verdicts in the country's biggest ever corruption scandal. the defendants include the son of a former president, he and 18 others, used state own companies to illicitly borrow $2000000000.00 from international banks. 10 years ago that triggered a default and a currency collapse. $500000000.00 still remain. unaccounted for. a letter bomb has exploded at the ukrainian embassy in madrid, injury a member of staff. spanish police say that a manager was handling the letter when the device exploded. ukraine says it will tightened. security at all of its emphasis on the upper house of the russian parliament has unanimously approved a bill further restricting the promotion of l g b t writes the new measure, criminalizes, that promotion of what he calls non traditional sexual relations online and in public human rights. groups say the bill will effectively outlaw same sex

relationships in rush. nato has redoubled its promise to stand by ukraine that after russian airstrikes have left millions in ukraine without power in heating, meeting of the romanian capital. bucharest, native foreign ministers today agreed to send generators of fuel and medical supplies. the ukraine, u, a secretary of state entity blinkin, says that moscow strategy of targeting civilians will not undermine nato's resolve . we are clear eyed about the difficult mentor that lies ahead. we know president putin's playbook 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 him to fend 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. so how important is nato's promise of knowing lethal equipment and supplies for you? great. i asked our correspondence, alexander phenomena. she is reporting from bucharest. it is crucial for ukraine as the country is facing constant attacks on it. the 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 to ukraine urgency needs what nato allies are offering generators, power, transformers, other equipment, the you asked alone has pledged to provide you queen, with more than 50000000. you asked dollars. however,

we also have to say that the ukraine in 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 debt is something dad's allies . we'll talk about, according to nato secretary general, it's tolten back. but the decision on that, on whether those systems can be provided to ukraine has not been made yet. there was alexander phenomena, reporting from book arrest or you grain is certainly a security issue for all of europe today. norwegian prime minister donuts gone stirrup, was here in germany to attend the berlin security conference, and to meet with german transfer all of schultz. he spoke with d. w. news about his country's security concerns. prime minister, stir your country, shares border with russia. you are a member of nato. how has the war in ukraine changed thinking in

norway? well, i would say fundamentally like in other european countries and especially bordering countries, that we wake up and learned after our neighbor has attacked another neighbor massively. and as we have seen since, february, basically aiming at destroying buildings, workplaces, infrastructure, driving millions of people escaping it, is a fundamental change to the whole european landscape. so yes it is, it is crucial. our neighbors, sweden and finland. i mean, also, nato decided quickly that they want to be in nato. we don't have a perceived direct threat at our border, like what we have seen in ukraine, but of course we are taking measure to safeguard our security. i mean, you said in the past that russia and norway have been at peace for more than a 1000 years. do you think there is

a direct threat to norwegian territorial perhaps, to norwegian infrastructure, coming from russia? afterward, russia has demonstrated the ukraine. nobody can, can, can hide the way that the question, you know, the night. again, you know, russia has moved both people and military equipment from the north to your grain. so we observe that and we don't observe direct attention at our border. but of course we follow in the developments in our near abroad. we say our navy, we fly our pachel planes to, to monitor the situation. and we do that very closely with our nordic partners and, but also with nato partners. so when we now put the major emphasis on securing our infrastructure, we do that as norway. and we do that in close cooperation with our and i sent partners. and 1st among them with germany, you're here and berlin for a security conference, a and for talks with the german government to let's talk about nato starts. is it

the right one, providing technical support, but waiting essentially for ukraine to win the war on its own that might take a very long time? is it the right approach? well, you know this, this is not a war against nato territory, but close to native territory. and ukraine is a free democratic nation not to serve support. and i think both nor in germany made very historic position back in february to, to offer military equipment to a country at war. and we have done so in norway, the hamilton that since the 1950s. and, you know, we now provide military equipment that is ukraine's right to defend itself, and it is our right to help you grain defend itself. there was norway's prime minister there speaking with the w. news. people all over the world are living longer and more and more are dying from all timers. chances are, you know, so one with the disease or i certainly do tonight,

an experimental drug is bringing new hope for a possible treatment. and that is the good news. there are however, serious side effects that the, 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 could no longer remember how to use his tools. wising. could you get the brooklyn fridge for me, please? yeah. david is one of nearly 1800 patients who have taken part in the international trial of the experimental drug designed by japan's i say, and it's u. s. partner biogen. when we 1st began is 2 and a half years ago. we didn't necessarily think it would help us m button. we felt we were doing something and could help future generations. it turned out the drag

could actually help the trial has shown that the treatment coldly canon mab is able to slow down mental decline by 27 percent. when diagnosed at an early stage, this is so exciting because now we're getting results. the 1st results that are indicating that the drug is successfully chasing the underlying cause and is slowing down the symptoms of cognitive impairment and also the behavioral symptoms associated with out time is 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 bleats 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 dev it says to horrible. lost a thing. so if you, if you, if somebody can slow it down and then eventually cut it stopped,

talk together in a big, burly. the companies behind the drag are now planning to plan for licensing, which would make it available for treatment within 2 to 3 years. ah, now to the world cup in to to our ware tenicia, we're hoping for a major upset group d against defending champions. france say when would offer a slim chance to advance to the knockout stages. and they seemed on track in the 8 minute. but the celebrations were short lived as the goal was rude. all sy, in the 2nd half a solar run by what be cause re did result in the goal and eventually a surprising one. neale. when for to reach that unexpected result, put australia on the spot in their match up with denmark, the sucker ruse needed a victory to make it through to the round of 16. and here is how that game and vote

denmark shoot. they tend to ride from the start, but 10 minutes in australia, keep them at rhein was in the way of doing much leads, their pressure continued, but either australia, as defense, stood strong or denmark wasn't accurate enough. how stress 1st chance came just before half time. but then max christians and in the right spot, with a clearance after halftime australia dominated the game. but the shot from just outside the box was cleared by the danish defence. 5 minutes later, jackson irvine shot went over the bar and captain max hopes alive. just after the one hour mark, australia 2nd half dominance paid off. matthew lackey with a clinical finish. one mill, australia, denmark with the last chance of the game, but australia held on the sucker rosa through to the round of 16. a disappointing

woke up for denmark comes to an end yet disappointing denmark. so group d finishes with defending rod cup champions, france at the top, even with today's last denisia, they stayed in 1st place. thanks to go differential do your math australians victory that puts them 2nd and they advanced to the round of 16. denisia was a close 3rd, but they and, and mark their out. okay. so france had already qualified for the next round. so they had the opportunity to rest a bunch of players going into this match, and that's exactly what they did. a bunch of their starters actually starting on the badge including clean and buffy. that's really important in a tournament like the world cup. you want to have your best players as rested as possible. going into the next round and france, they have the luxury to be able to do that. now, you said they actually really had to win this game to have even the slightest chance of moving to the next round. interestingly enough, tan players and these are, we're actually born in france. so

a pretty tough match. i mean, despite the fact that they did when, unfortunately, they were eliminated. but france despite the loss, also looking like favorites for this woke up still. yeah. and what about the 4 days i didn't mark considered one of the top 10 teams in the world. but now they're out of the tournament. what happened? yeah, it's been a really disappointing world cup for denmark. i mean they had a really good performance in the year. oh, so a lot of people really expected them to be kind of like a dark horse in this tournament that they do have a solid side. good mid field. the thing is is that they haven't been able to score goals. and when you can score goals, you can't win games. australia, on the other hand, they did not have trouble scoring today, they got their goal, they move to the next round, historic for them. this is only the 2nd time that they've ever progressed of the next round. so absolute happiness, gras, julia, you know, i don't have to tell you that here in germany,

people like to watch football soccer and have a beer there though, at the stadium. we're in the fans, homes into tar. what is it like for fans who are used to doing that? when they're standing in line and realizing that they can't have alcohol was probably worth mentioning, that if you are one of the v i p fans in the booths and his dad and you can still drink. they didn't band that. but for the other fans that they've kind of gotten used to it at this point and accepted it. i mean, some, for example, have been caught trying to smuggle alcohol into the stadium. why man actually had alcohol in binoculars, which is a pretty inventive thing. well, i mean other fans except that i talked to some argentinian fans. they told me that they were waiting in line for over an hour and after not getting a beard, they said, you know what? we're just going to detox for this month and it will be healthier for us alcohol in his binoculars that gives new meaning to beer goggles. i go to

w sports correspondent, the edge of our florida. all thank you. and from the guitar, we are going to travel down to mexico city to meet a team of transgender women football. if she say they would not feel welcome at this year's world cup, but they say they haven't always felt welcome at home either. at 1st, they were at odds with the macho culture around them, but now they're the pride of a notoriously tough neighborhood. lacing up their football bits and flipping into their sports pants. these women feel invincible. now, me, paola, manuela and the others are transgender women. part of a football team called the gardenias of to peter. well, if we seen it was difficult being a transgender team into pito, but we've earned our place here. and our respects is gonna be a lawyer to pete her is one of mexico cities, most infamous neighborhoods. it's notorious for crime drugs and poverty. but it's

also colorful diverse and now known for its transgender football team. they play against the men in city festivals, a level of acceptance, therefore, hard for, but the decision to host the world cup and co. tar where trans people are persecuted, they find particularly painful. look, we're little, they go to the water, you can't deny that transgender people exist. they gay, bisexual and non binary people exist, but we're not a minority. what part of the population, and we're standing up against this discrimination from kat. are those single gotta, the women know what it's like to struggle? know me move to mexico city as a teenager, leaving behind a strongly religious family in a village where she struggled to be herself here in the city. she feels free. no way up osler in my village, i would have always just be known as the gay one and i knew i wanted more. i wanted to be something different. visibility, she says is important. that's why the gardenias were founded,

violence and discrimination. a part of everyday life. for many transgender women in mexico, they are often pushed to the margins of society. nakamura, the showing that is trans women were not just putting on a show or to put it plainly working as prostitutes. but trans women simply aren't given normal office job alone. but our da gardenias have been playing football for 35 years, facing resistance and prejudice along the way. they used to be called names people through to marty's at them. but now attitudes are shifting. they say that's because they're stuck it out. people have gotten to know them to day there ambassadors for tolerance, that above all, their people with dreams and of passion for football. and they have a message for guitar. someone said as we human, let us live in freedom. after all, football isn't meant to divide, but to night. oh, i finally,

it is one of the most enduring symbols of france and it's right behind me. now. the bye get it has joined a un list of culturally important items, many french people. they buy the crispy white loaves every day and they say they can't imagine live without it. the bagget was invented by bakers in the army of emperor napoleon bonaparte. viva lava. get this long. krispy love is the toaster france. and now the culinary world with frontier. first being with life with young sold effort tribe, again here for paris, suffers a paris. so this is otherwise, this is eunice scout, the united nations heritage body has put there is no know how and culture of the get bread on its list of intangible cultural heritage begets have come to be a symbol of france around the world and had been a central part of the french diet for at least 100 years. yeah, lou there,

coded policy. beliefs are on the streets and force, but despite officials relaxing some restrictions, there is still wide spread defect and, and experimental new drug is bringing new hope for all timers. patient the treatment has for the 1st time, been seen tube slow, mental decline, impatience, but trials also show that they can have serious side effects. you're watching the w news after a short break. i'll be back to take you through the day stick around. we will be right back ah ah
