[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, another huge chunk of the world cup and guitar. germany are out hands, he flicks men, finally got a wind beating coaster rica, but it wasn't enough to stop them heading home. and the fat devastated. i can't describe,

i feel like they're lost 30 minutes. i was just looking him up on those big old things. pain with absorption also coming off a deadly fire box. a wave of protest across china. did people die because of the stringent cove had lockdown measures? chinese authorities issue broad denials, but d w's investigative team finds evidence that suggests otherwise. and ukrainian officials war and russia is gearing up for a massive aerial attack. our team visits a medical facility coping with shortages that could be made even worse by a new assault. ah, now manuscript is macon, and thanks so much for joining us. we start with football and germany out of the

world cup. and now that is despite the same coast, to recap, force it to in a thrilling game in which germany took the lead, then lost it and then retook it. but it was called comfort. as the fate was decided on another pitch, costa rica and germany lined up for one last chance to move out of the group phase . as stephanie for par became the 1st woman to referee amends, world cup match, germany play the 1st half, swarming forward, and all the games 1st go on 10 minutes through surge cannot breathe. one mill late was days past half time, but they soon came to regret not having more on 58 minutes. wilson tahita put costa rica on level terms, the underdogs and their fans riding and unexpected emotional high. and soon on cloud 9 when the ball was squeezed, past germany, goalkeeper men will know it. as costa rica took the lead, was not a bad limit. the l. betty stadium,

the 70 costa rica breed the place. in the last 16. germany settled down though, and struck back another 3 times at the atmosphere fell flat as would spread. the japan were beating spain. the wind was in vain. and germany a hitting and here's how that result went down with gem fans had followed their team all the way to keta. i can't describe, i feel as like empty their last 30 minutes. i was just looking him up and hoping o things been with score, but unfortunately not madam doesn't absorb. very disappointed jeremy. it was a great game. so dramatic. bob, i were very disappointed that jeremy's out again. it was video, nice of, you know, speed actually are if you said water, right, you can compare these 210 is heartbreaking. has to put more for, but you can compare this to trying to get going on. but i need to go through and

look at us. we are coming and coming and always going home early advertise did her yes. all right, german i country boy, that sort of country like germany football county ledger mm. tempe losing 2 times in a row. and i had a round of who's wrong, i'm leaving t w schools correspondent danya barcelona, isn't katara. and she told us how much of a disaster this world cup has been for germany. this is a massive disappointment. i mean, especially after what happened in the last world cup, crashing out in the group stages again for this to happen is considered a massive failure. and germany really paid for not beating japan in the 1st game. although they had many chances to put the game away. unfortunately, in football, if you don't score goals, you can't win games and at big tournaments like the world cup, every point matters. now we really have to take a moment to talk about japan because at the beginning of the tournament, nobody even considered that they could advance from this group. not only did the advance,

they beat to former world champions in germany and span and they taught their group . so going forward. probably gonna be pretty weary of japan. it is a huge upset and of course there's gonna be consequences out there. so, you know, germany could as a result, be losing some pretty big names. yeah, that often happens after big tournaments. i mean, there are some players that are getting out there. we have a potential end of an era. unfortunately, there are some players like manual lawyer, for example, just the brick wall in germany's goal for so long. getting up there, we might have seen him play his last international match. you can google them, for example, thomas mueller, much beloved in germany. of course, he hinted after the game that he might have played his last night. he said if he did play his last match, it was a pleasure and he did so with love. we don't know this for sure. it could come out in the next few days, but actually some of the events that you did see in those vas folks before they told me that although they were sad and an end of an era would be sad for them.

they do have hope in the future generation like players like jamal movie allah and, but some of the biggest names in the game, all going through to the next round on they can you tell us a little bit more about messy and rinaldo definitely, i mean, massey and rinaldo mania, 2 of the biggest players to ever play football. i mean both of them in their last dance tournament, they're also getting up there and both chasing the potential to become the best lawyer ever. because the world cup is a trophy that has evaded both of them throughout their careers and getting their hands on it would really put one in front of the other. they have this perennial rivalry between them. argentina, they stumbled a little bit in their 1st game too. but they made it through after losing to saudi arabia for portugal, it was a little bit simpler. but what's been so amazing for us here in doha is seeing how many people have come, just to see messy. and rinaldo,

you see messy. rinaldo jerseys everywhere. and what an amazing story would be if they could face off, or if we saw one of them ultimately lift the trophy later on this month. let's see what happens for now. the w suppose correspond, daniel barcelona, thanks so much. now in china, covered restrictions are easing and some city is where the virus is still spreading . now this is a marked shift away from the country 0 coded policy. after days of rare nation wide protests, a public anger ruptured after word spread of a deadly apartment. fire engine, jang, province and room as quickly spread. the covert locked downs were to blame. it's an allegation, the authorities refute the w's investigative dame has more. ah, the fire started on the evening of the 24th of november in a room chief. the capital of syndrome province, most of the people living in the building are wiggers and muslim minority, long, oppressed by chinese authorities. that night,

10 people died in the blaze. t w's investigative unit analyzed dozens of photos and videos to try to figure out what happened. we also talked to several sources who had had the rare opportunity of hearing from eyewitnesses. it's almost impossible to get reliable information from the grand, just contacting someone who lives abroad is enough to get you thrown into jail. but for very brief period of time, relatives abroad were able to contact their loved ones back in the room. she and the other people we talked to. we located the 21 story building in this neighborhood. while we identified 3 vehicle access points. sources told us that at least 2 were blocked, most likely to better monitor their residence. every move on the night of the fire, those road blocks prevented emergency vehicles from getting closer to the burning

building. firefighters were reduced to trying to operate from the road. as you can see here, the water barely reached the flames. but with that, the only reason why so many people died shortly after the fire. these videos flooded social media. they claimed. so doors filled shot by local authorities as part of the country's 0 cove. it policy where the residence locked in the building . it's an allegation that official refuted, at a press conference. sure to put on the 30th laquon, bonham with no doors were locked with wise in this community. load all the doors of all the flats and the front doors were opened. i am jewelry from the pictures of doors sealed with wires posted on the internet. both are malicious forgery and false. b, u r. g m. o you can do but that's not what our source is. say. they tell us that their relative living in the building told them some doors were in fact locked from the outside, were not identifying them for their own safety. her look of the portal, obviously on

a person in the house was co repository if they would lock the door from the outside. that's why some of the doors in the house were sealed, shut up. then when the fire started, the electricity was cut off. so people was start because the elevators didn't work and the fire escape was locked as well. they couldn't get out. those are my one. you either let me go over our investigation suggests people's anger may be justified. what we found, throws reasonable doubt on the authorities version of events. and 2 days after the fire room to authority said they'd loosen some restrictions. but by this time protests had already spread to other chinese cities. we can talk now to kevin's place and he's a china expert with the angio freedom house and he joins us from the taiwanese capital, taipei. i welcome to the w, kevin, now the, the persecution and oppression of china's we get muslims predates, covered at haven't been any significant public protests in china about their

treatment. so he tell us what it is about this fire in a room. she that has sparks such an outcry i would say 2 things about that 1st is that whether or not chinese people or han chinese elsewhere in china, what his protested is the court of wiggers over the past. the atrocities against them in recent years is difficult to tell because it would have such a sensitive issue in either the government. it's difficult for people to advocate around that issue. the 2nd thing i would speak to, to, to your question, why this time to receive projects. and i think it's because the unifying rebates was around cobit 0, locked down in the social controls around pandemic prevention, which is something that people across china have experience whether they're han chinese, we're tibetan or other minority group. this is something that's been applied across the p r c. and so it sort of becomes

a unifying grievance that then helped connect people in that way through this move it. we know that surveillance in china is ubiquitous, protested, must have known the risks associated with defend thing like this, but they're likely to be tracked down and punished. what does this tell us that they took to the streets anyway? i think it tells us 1st that people really are a lot of people are really sick and tired of the social control, the way it's impacted their life. we saw a lot of students, proto on their students. we started school and in 2019 or 2020 and they've been locked down in their campuses, off and on for, for a year their entire college experience just to give an example and then people the effect on their work. it tells us that these grievances have been buildings and we track that through our project to try to monitor. there's been,

we track lots of covered 19 restriction protests since june. 79 of them between june and october even before this move it so it's been galvanized people. so yeah, i think, i think that's one of the main things. it tells us the other, the other thing that it tells us that people are willing to take this risk is that maybe the perception that we're given because of information restrictions about the willingness of chinese people to dissent is a misperception because that sort of the, the goal of the government is to provide this image of chinese people is sort of towing the line or following the rules or, or sort of loyalty to the party. but, but it's a more complex picture. and this, this movement gave us give more of the world an opportunity to get it to get a view into how this really does drive, how there is to send them a lot of people in china, and there's dissenting views among a greater number of people. it's really fascinating, kevin place and the freedom. how, thanks so much for your time. thank you. are you crane's military says

russia has pulled some of its troops back from front lines near the southern city of hassan that keep officials said on thursday. the 2 civilians were killed by continued shelling of the area. they also warned that a russian aerial assault is being planned which could worse than shortages of water, electricity and heating across ukraine. dw young fed up charlotte's visited to towns in the countries east, rural people who he operated on the injured down here and he helped women give birth at times. surgeon, rudy couldn't yourself was the only doctor left as is you and was under heavy fire . he wasn't charge of everything. this is upstairs. patients still arrive and medical stuff have reclaimed some of the less damaged rooms. but the coming months are weary. lou, we've got to survive the winter period. now. modern, we've got to somehow maintain our medical care at a higher level during that time or more the new way. unfortunately,

we cannot rely on the hospitals, centralized heating system anymore and that amazon, but we've started to buy electric heaters ton known to do it. at least an easier the attacks are already weeks old. it's a different story and coupons around 40 kilometers north. several people who were hurt by artillery fire, the morley we've visited. this is where they would normally go and attack ruined the local police clinic just a few days before the injured have to leave town. yet the head doctor shows us what is left off his hawkers provide you with for your for john wooten. them wasn't there simply no excuse for this, said i, it looks like they want to destroy the civilian population. there is never been military personnel at the poly clinic, only civilians, no one. maybe we just provided medical treatment to normal people in need of all those movies. the hallmark workers not serving them wrote down them, hewing at one of the few 80 amps in the town that still works. those normal people

see their home being destroyed around them and that the temperature draw cushion been recorded watches every day. when you leave your home, you see new devastation. and this was such a flourishing city. once i get no room, what of my village, i to time had a very nice medical center, but it doesn't work anymore. but sometimes doctors visit them, but we don't have any doctors of our in any more literature, dr. sinclair says he's looking for a place to set up a temporary clinic, but he says the russians didn't just damaged that building viet blue, the keeper of the people who work in our medical facility have to come under fire 3 times. now, imagine a 3 time, frankly, people are frightened over so on the grounds, russian destruction of civilian infrastructure feels increasingly like a strategy for the people living here. the other front could become

a matter of life or death. spoke to night martin earlier, he's a war studies senior fellow at king's college london, and i asked him whether ukraine can continue standing up to russia's relentless bombing as winter sets in i think and yet she realistically, i think they are going to stand up to it and it's going to be a very long cold winter for the ukranian civilians. and that will inevitably mean that some of those civilians, perhaps the old, all the info are likely to die because of the lack of the services like power health. but i don't think that this is going to stop the ukrainian military fighting. i think actually the opposite is going to happen. the more that the russians inflict damage on ukraine civilians, the harder the crating military is likely to fight back. we heard from the u. s. from french president, my calls visit to the u. s. that both the u. s. president and the french president

are committed to holding russia to account for widely documented atrocities and war crimes. can you talk to us about this? how will they realistically be able to hold russia to account so international prosecutions. first war crimes are crimes against humanity, of which russia has as committed a number in this conflict. the reality is that these prosecutions only get carried out and inflicted upon losers, right? so countries that lose was so if we have a p still in ukraine, that almost certainly means that we won't be prosecuting russia. the only way that piece in and his senior generals are going to be brought to account is if you crane effectively wins the war, russian forces lease. and then those avenues can be pursued through the national

course. otherwise, it's very, very, very unlikely to happen. ok. we've heard from a senior adviser to president lensky, that as many as 13000 ukranian troops have been killed in the war, the u. s. on the other hand, is suggesting that it may be as many as 100000 casualties. why is there such a difference between these 2 estimates? it's very, very difficult to estimate casualties of war from the start of the conflicts the ukrainians have been very, very secretive about their numbers of troops, numbers of casualties. ready obvious reasons because that impacts upon their domestic morale is not really clear why reaching these comments came from us on the line and then were picked up by the u. s. is not clear why they are citing 100 thousands, although a very widely documented number of russian casualties is about a 100000. and the russians have been much more careless with their troops. so i

would imagine the crating figure would be perhaps $50000.00. ok. all right, mike martin from king's college london. thanks so much for your time. thank you. now, iran has been ramping up hits threats against journalists and dissidence as it struggles to contain the flow of often anti government information. as iran is rocked by protest, dissidents of fighting, a constant battle to stay ahead of verin's intelligence services, and to get information out. a committee to protect journalists says 62 journalists have been arrested by the iranian regime for reporting the death of gina, martha and mimi who was killed in the custody of the morality police in september. now all of this means that many people rely on foreign media outlets. the independent coverage of events going on back home. and italy's persian service is one of those piano, national entities for 8 weeks in a row, nella fargo law,

me and her colleagues have been closely following the crack down on the protests in iran. that amount is what is their task. but to amplifying the voices of those that the iranian regime is trying to silence. to day, they have received footage of a young woman who committed suicide after having been detained by security forces. almost every day they receive a video footages from inside your on from streets of iran. and of course we have some sources vamps on connections. and um, some reliable sources that, that's a published of videos that recorded by the citizen report this because as you know, we don't have free media inside iran. so that's, that's the value of the citizenry. so most citizens, reporters with this material, d, w, persian language team produces dozens of videos and articles every day. thanks to bypass software, such as tour or syphon. people in iran can access t w's content. and in spite of the regime efforts to block foreign media, they try to prevent pictures and they were just reaching us and they put tried to

prevent our content to reach people in the wrong. but it doesn't work because what we've seeing is the contrary that we have a lot more or even a 4 times more reached. and we have before to protest again. i think bailey but their work comes with the price. t w's persian language department has been sanctioned, with a travel band by the iranian regime. many here still have family back in iran. there fearing for their safety of the love of the regimes arm seems to reach all the way to germany. some team members have even received personal threats that said, but that the tie of as you me, the threats should be taken seriously. because in the past 43 years of these law make republic has repeatedly attacked its opponents in exile with with terror attacks and kidnapping, including journalists and political activists, russia can think of imprisoning and torture is part of the regime daily routine bias, michigan, man. but this behavior makes me focus even more on my journalistic work done and

encourages me to be a voice of the people in iran. despite threats, sanctions, and internet censorship. they will continue to inform as best as they can about what is happening in iran, how mama was they call it an ongoing revolution that could last for months or even years. the more we can say to you, out as i bash is head of d, w. 's passion said as high elda, we just saw in that report, the members of your own team have been receiving personal threats. can you tell us more? what kind of threats are they getting? yeah, there are trips in many different ways. first of all, of course, the families back in iran are being put under pressure and being trenton. and in order to make the os or to journals here, to report less critically, to be less active on social media. and there has been one case where all instagram followers of one of my colleagues have been called by iranian intelligence. and in

order to unfold and follow this journalist, and also calling him a and we'll have it, which is an a war against god. and as we've seen any run right now, this is one of the day, one of the reasons people and demonstrators and innocent people being giving best penalties, actually. but there is so that these threats are really, it's not just one or 2. there's many of those. and the german association of journalist has called now for the ring in the messenger to be summoned. and the police also takes these threats really seriously. yelder can you explain to us how important social media has become as a source of news for people in iran? very important actually as social media is the tool at the moment in different ways . and the one thing is that it's,

it does serve like people in iran right now. it's the only way for them to make the world see what is happening. and iran because we have a we have only states media and propaganda and trying them the when imaging trying to control the narrative. but with the people in iran, sending us videos and sending us the footage. we can verify those. and we can report on that as we've seen also in the report. and so, but actually a people, anyone are risking also their lives in order to get these images out there. they are filming, for instance, when other, other people are being shot or the security forces and procedures are really cracking down people. and they can also risk. and we've seen also these pictures like a young mother sitting in the car filming, and the next 2nd seeing her being shot. because she's the only weapon that, that the people are gonna have are, their mobile phones is social media. and on the other hand,

when we get these footage and report and it's, it is also a source of informing themselves about what is going on in their country. so they are, they kind of, they are news gathers and on the other hand, also being informed through this tool. yelder. thank you so much. that's yelled as arbor shifted of these persian service watching t w news. and that is all we have time for, but we're going to leave you now with some images of the agony of german fans as they mourn another early world cup exit and the ecstasy of japan as they celebrate another stunning when i many cubes. mckinnon. thanks so much for watching. oh, i see
