which are part of china 0 cobit policy. 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 thorough terrorism. we want human rights, we don't want monarchy done. well, we're all ready, all father, 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 son. 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. in an apparent concession to demonstrate is, authorities have east some anti covet measures and announced a new purse to vaccinate vanderbilt grapes. but 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.

here's a quick look at some other stories making news around the world to day human rights groups say, a man has been shot dead by security forces in northern iran for celebrating the iranian football teams exit from the world cup. many iranians refused to support the national team in response to a government crackdown on anti regime protests. germany, parliament has officially recognized a historical famine in ukraine as genocide. ukrainians commemorate b hold more of famine engineered by soviet leader, joseph stalin. nearly 4000000 people starved to death in the 19 thirty's, several countries already condemned the whole lot of more as genocide. at least 2 people are dead and dozens more missing after a landslide swept away a section of highway and brazil. rescue workers save bad weather and the remote location in the southern state of paranoia are complicating the search for

survivors. hundreds of people have taken to the streets of to drive capital mikhail, in support of recent cease fire with ethiopian government. more than $200.00 children performed as part of the piece for all carnival schools and t. gr, i have been closed for almost 2 years, and many hope the cease fire will mean they can reopen. russia's invasion of ukraine in february has caused many countries across your, of to rethink their security strategies. norwegian prime minister eunice gustovo is in germany to attend the, to day berlin security conference and is holding talks with chancellor olaf shots. he spoke to the w about his country 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 of our neighbor has attacked another neighbor massively . and as we have seen since february, basically aiming at destroying buildings, workplace, this 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 away that 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 sailor 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 a major emphasis on securing our infrastructure, we do that as norway. and we do that in close cooperation with our and i sent partners 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 natal territory, but close to native territory in your crane is a free democratic nation not to serve support. and i think both nor ran drummond, they made a very historic decision 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 ukraine defend itself during the corona virus pandemic world wide efforts and massive resources helped develop vaccines as lightning speed. meanwhile, there's still no vaccine or cure for h i. v. aids which has been around for decades. that makes prophylactic measures to avoid infection. very important. several scientific breakthroughs have been made

long acting injectable. and at the moment in this very vicinity, we are testing a 6 monthly prophylactic injectable 9 as lemme capital. so if we can get to a point where young people ran the world, only have to take an injection every 6 months or twice a year. that would be an extraordinary breakthrough. linda galle becca is a leading infectious disease specialist overseeing protocols for several prep and h i v vaccine trials. she praises the achievements in the past, and the ninety's. hundreds of thousands died of h. i v. now, anti retroviral drugs allow patients to live a normal life with a normal life spin, but the crisis is not soft, particularly in the global nose. there has been a, you know, turning away from a chevy. i think many people think the pandemic is over far from it. we had 4000 young woman, became infected with

a chevy in the last week alone. and we still have a $150000.00 children, newly infected with a chevy every year. at there is still a pandemic raging in many parts of the world. it's almost like we've written half the book. and, you know, we walking away before the rest of the, the book is, is finished am. and that to my mind is a, you know, is, is, is a catastrophe because of all the investment we've had in the last day to years could be lost if we don't actually finish the story. zoom clim, i've been been gonna wants to play her part in finishing the story. that gets home the 18 year old is busy. convincing friends to take prep don't want to go because they say they don't want you to m t repeal because they're not sick. i think it's to get people more to catered about it. my home being warner says her generation is the 1st one to openly talk about
