hello maxine the arctic, if you see something that looked like james bond, it has to do with the military starts december 23rd on d w ah ah, this is dw news ally from berlin. iranian protesters step up, the pressure on authorities in call for a 3 day stripe. it comes as a top official, says iran, so called morality. police have been abolished some of africa's top designers and veil their latest creations at deck called fashion week. as the event celebrates

its 20th anniversary and at the world cup and cattle, olivia, who becomes frances all time top score. as a favorite brush aside, poland to reach the last 8 ah a michael ok welcome. iranian protesters or increasing pressure on authorities and calling for a 3 day strike this week. the announcement comes after ron's public prosecutor said the morality police would be abolished. iran has seen months of nationwide demonstrations triggered by the rest of gina masa, meaning the young woman died after being taken into police custody for violating iran strict female dress, go arounds. attorney general told a major state news agency that the interior ministry has shut down the morality

police. earlier i spoke to conran maton, senior lecturer on international relations at the university of sussex. and i asked him what he makes of this announcement. while i think we have to treat this announcement with utmost caution for a number of reasons. the 1st one is that these so called morality police, which people actually in iran use it more commonly under the name of the job police, which enforces islamic. his job is not kind of a branch of judiciary, but of no inforcement forces, which hasn't made any announcement. secondly, these, the oppression of this particular branch of the police has effectively cease in the south of the protest. largely because the police forces have been deployed to crack down on the protesters and they just don't have enough troops to kind of continue this operation. but most importantly, the enforcement of the job in iran, or the so called islamic dressing code is enshrined the law. it's part of the

criminal law which goes back to the $8983.00 and that's part of the law remains intact and can only be repealed by the legislation in the parliament, which has not happened at this point. and even the government hasn't announced is so i think this is more probably the tactic by the government to dissuade people from going to the streets or you know, doing strike action on, on these, those 3 days, which a position has called for in the, in this coming week, but again, protesters are now stepping up the pressure and calling for a 3 day economic strike. surely it's a sign, at least they believe that their movement is winning. absolutely, i mean in the sense i was talking mostly and in kind of legal social sense of, of the, of this particular announcement in the end. yes. in the, in the sense that the government or a high official indian state comes and makes this announcement in a press conference in itself is unprecedented because there's like

a public up. iran is not used to making concessions to protest is one down on the streets that has never happened in the past 40 to 3 years. so this is a find that they are on the back foot. they are trying to kind of maneuver around these in the, you know, the, the new way will process which are coming. and of course people are also re mobilizing and trying to re launched a protest in a, in an innovative way. true stock actions and so on and so for so overall i think, you know, even if symbolic, this is an important victory, but in the sense that it remains the law still, this particular law enforcement of a job. i think we are not there yet in the half minute or so that we have left is it likely will now see an escalation of the protest movement? i believe so, and we have to remember that even though this protest movement began because of the keeling of massage, and i mean in the under the custody of this job or morality police,

the demands of the protest. those actually go far beyond the simply removing incarcerated job. it's all about, you know, people shouting, we don't want to limit republic just the dictator does, to their supreme lead. the women lie freedom. so if we look at the slogans, what they want actually from the mental change in the iranian political system rather than one particular kind of practice or law to be removed so, so long as we see movement in that direction, i'm not sure that the, the protest would be satisfied with what the government has announced thus far, and we'll have to end it there again many thanks to cameron martin. thank you very much. the european union is adapting its rules in the wake of a new green energy subsidies program introduced by the united states speaking in belgium. today, the european commission president said, competition is good when there is a level playing field. ursula on the line says it's

a generous tax breaks in america's new inflation reduction act could lower away you businesses and disadvantage european companies. her announcement comes ahead of an u. s. ministerial meeting on trade and technology. and let me think d. w corresponded terry shorts with more on why the you is worried about the new u. s. policies. the problem for your of is that a lot of these measures and the inflation reduction act are aimed at boosting domestic production for u. s. companies. and that, of course could put europe at a disadvantage and there's a lot of worry over this. and what ursula under lion is saying is that the, you need to re balance the playing field. she laid out in this speech in bruce that the you needs to become more assertive in its policies and not let the united states take advantage of it. at the same time, the president said that she's very much urging cooperation over confrontation. but i'm telling you that nerves are so frayed over this i r a that the head of the

european parliament trade committee said today that he believes the i r a rises to the level of the u. s. the you needing to file a complaint of the world trade organization. so certainly the tensions are very high right now. looked now at some of the other stories making news around the world of volcanic eruption on indonesia is main island of java. as for nearly 2000 people in nearby villages to evacuate, people have been warned not to travel within 8 kilometers of the crater of mount samira. the volcano has erupted a year ago killing more than 50 people. authorities in northeast in sicily have declared state of emergency after the region was hit by floods caused by heavy rain . the flooding has caused power cuts and the closure of public services and schools . some residents have been evacuated from homes, thought to be at risk of land flies. the crew of china is shen, jo,

sliding in the celebration of a new france record of 52 national team goals surpassing another former arsenal. man, teary on brief, one mill at half time. the pulse gave killing him by the spice to land, the killer blows in the 2nd half. the 23 year old put himself on top of the tournament, scoring chuck the 1st time he big boy chesney. then extended his laid and effectively into the contest. the 2nd time he did, robert levin dusky got a consolation from the penalty spot. but france advance and betty rules in the poles, camps to w sports corresponding danya barcelona, is standing by in cat are where she's of course, covering the world cup for us. daniel french coast to victory once again. are they looking like tournament favorites?

i mean, absolutely. france are definitely looking like tournament favorites. this is the defending world champion, and they are actually looking to repeat that. if they did do that, that would be absolutely crazy because that hasn't been done since brazil did it 60 years ago. now france, they did have get to rest a bunch of their star players come in to this game. so they were pretty fresh pulling. they knew it was going to be an uphill battle. and ultimately they didn't have what it took to cope with that french onslaught. now france, it was a record night for france and we saw killian, him by, he's now the leading scoring the tournament. he also beat henley's record of scoring. the most goes for a male player under the age of $24.00 olivia's, you beating terry andries record there. so this france side is definitely going to be scary. moving forward in the tournament for other sides while moving forward is also argentina. you were in the stadium for argentina's when over australia, even from our distance,

the atmosphere looked electric. i think i know the answer to this next question, but has a messy mania broken out in qatar? yeah, i was in the stadium last night for the game and let me tell you the atmosphere was unbelievable. i mean, i've been to a few argentine against already and each game has been absolutely crazy. the argentina fans here are some of the best fans we've met. they're constantly dancing, singing. i mean, yesterday, when messy scored his goal, you could feel the stadium vibrating. okay. and speaking of messy man, yeah. like you said, there are thousands of bands here that have come from all over the world to see messy in his last dance tournament. because the wilcox is the one choppy that has a they did hence his entire career. and this is a trophy that could put him over the edge for be considered the best player of all time, especially for argentinians, who still think, you know, mary donna is that number one because he did when the world puff regina, we should probably talk about where you are, you're at a souk,
