would recognize the result of the election only. he just the thought that he was a clean election. so they were already preparing for that and to have on one side, it was bigger than the vision of the capital because you had the tree houses, the 3rd pillars of president democracy attacked and invaded. but on the other hand, the furthest was in the sunday, the financial supporters always make protest on sundays because they say that they are working class and they don't. the prep is on the weekly. so it was on the sunday. so you didn't have any meetings taking place there. you don't have this dramatic schemes of congress. people of authority is hiding and running from rioters. it didn't have the same degree of violence as well. also, because it didn't have the same degree of resistance on the security forces, so you didn't have any death or, or people injured. you have like some injuries, some injured people, mostly journalists, but they had like, minor injuries. you didn't have blood like we saw in the capital, but you had like

a mob that took a bigger part of brazilian power for us as if all the signs were there. why didn't local officials prevent this from happening? well, some of the things that the police were complicit with. what happened? we have the birth in the district, the federal district has a state of state and it has the fact that the state and it has its own governor, governor, is the quote, allied from book on his chief of security was book just as minister as well. he was also a very close ally from wilco nato, and he is the person that come on the police. so the police was very passive. they even like it's or to some of the brought us from there at camp. the front of the army had to the government palaces and they were feeling taking celsius them laughing on the camera. so they would like very serious

accusation of the police being honest and even completed what was going on. now, there will be a great investigation on wish, of military forces were complicated to what happened and they both, all of them to be taken into to hold accountability. they knew what was happening, like there was information that hundreds of buses were coming to deal with over 4000 protesters. and even though the governor and the chief security didn't increase the security and the government building, the consequence of that is that it had the security was hired yesterday in the evening. and the governor with like, we've moved from office for 90 days from supreme court to investigate which part of the day to on the very telling insides there from our very own francis fans. thank you very much. you credit your president, vladimir lensky,

says his troops on the eastern front are holding on despite everything. the soldiers faced continuous assaults by russian troops and mo, scenarios around the towns of sola dot and buck mode is part of the dumbass front. seeing some of the most prolonged fighting of the will. russian military blogs recently reported breakthroughs in those areas, but neither moscow know keep support the claims. arena, milan from the war studies department of kings college london gave us this assessment of the difficulties facing ukrainian forces. well, the situation remains very hands after the declaration of unilateral cease fire by russia. russia has resumed its operations around buck moved and sold a dark solid hours being located to the north of baltimore. so ukraine has announced yesterdays that the, the ukrainian forces are still holding full adar, but what russians are trying to do, and especially as a wagner group, is to basically take full adar in the semi encirclement by cutting off the

supply the sol adar. and because according to precaution, louis wagner is chief, so darn, but are connected by an underground system and taking solar, dar would mean that the russians would have better chances to advance words. but what they're doing is they're trying to stay around for the dark from, from the west, coming from the south western part and from worse and got moved, is being surrounded from the south and east. so basically that's the position right now. but the reinforces are still holding on, they have turned the cities in, into kind of wordpress and are holding their positions despite the meat grinder that they are right now. can you explain to us why this russian mercenary re wagner is there and how it's changing the dynamic? basically the idea to take full adar and buck mode is not new. it was

a strategic location when the russians were still holding on to assume. and the idea was to go on to take from a tourist cash flow basque repeating the scenario of several of the next can see chomsky and after russia has lost the zoom. wagner still remained in boston because that is both politically and militarily. still an important aim for the russians to take, given its location. it would facilitate the logistics of the russian forces there. if they were to take buck mode. and obviously for wagner, it's important to show some sort of progress after the russians have lost so many key strategic cities during the last phase of their so called special military operation. marina, do you expect anything different in the finding now that the overdose christmas season is over? well, there are, the possibilities of the fighting will intensify. however,

russians are claiming that they have time and i don't think that they will seek to increase or operational tempo. they will of try to roll to morale using drones and missile strikes on key bringing infrastructure was trying to kind of push through those key strategic locations and where out the ukranian forces. because not only to take for teaching occasions, but also to destroy as many of the bringing forces as possible arena marathon kings college london. thank you. thank you. let's have a look at some other stories making headlines. president joker with odo, says indonesia will cooperate with neighboring malaysia to find what he calls discrimination against palm oil. he was speaking after meeting malaysian prime minister, am i abraham environmentalists, blame palm oil plantations in both countries? the destruction of rain, forests and re animal species. but francis has condemned iran for using the death

trying to show a strong signal of china's military might in the region and adding to that since a russia's invasion of ukraine. there are concerns that a china may feel empowered to make a move against taiwan given what russia did in ukraine. and there is also particular concern, given the increase in military exercises by china near taiwan. and that is why it is important for german lawmakers to show their support to fort taiwan, to show that they stand by taiwan. and that they will not allow any attack against taiwan and considering china condemnation of the visit. how will berlin juggle by jing plus? berlin is in a tricky situation. a with china, china is a germany's our biggest trading partner and our, the current government in berlin, especially to parties of the governing coalition, the greens and the,

the f. d. p. the freebies the business friendly f t p. have shown signs that they want to take a tougher stance against china. not only in making germany less dependent economically on china, but also challenging china on it's a human rights record. and this is something that we will likely see developing in the next a months. and years here, while germany tries to define it's new approach approach towards china given the geopolitical situation, but also it's a current economic dependency on china. julius ideally thank you very much. the united nations is holding a key conference in geneva to raise funds for reconstruction and pakistan after devastating floods last year. you and general secretary general antonio terrace, supported the core for $16000000000.00 in aid, saying pakistan had been the victim of climate. chaos or sla underlying president

of the european commission said the e u will be contributing $500000000.00. the us pledge to further 100000000. the floods caused the death of 1700 people and displaced millions. flooding wrought unprecedented havoc and pakistan last year. and its effects are still kimberly felt one of those who lost everything when the rains came as a bus, a father of 4 from the southeastern province of sin, the land on which he used to grow crops was submerged. the floods washed away his house and his livestock too said mud would a year ago, but we've got a ball. the houses in our village animal mon caught them, are completely destroyed, or you in a vist that are no beds and believe no kitchen utensils or anything, nothing is left behind her up but something but i yet we have such at least 10 so that her children can live, we are helpless if and i'm mom,

i don't have any resources to reconstruct her home. yeah. or to rent a place and up a darker than i where we can live peacefully. nothing that of, of, of initial won't say it will hardly. after months of waiting, abass and his family finally received help from the pakistan. red crescent. hello said honestly, i have come here because i am unable to manage our living. i don't have russians. i have nothing to eat or drink. for 5 months, we haven't received any assistance at all, but no one has given us anything help at all now helpful. yes, it is. got all your help in a law. the un called for $816000000.00 in emergency aid last october. but says it has received only a 3rd of that. the red crescent says limited resources in aid organizations can only do so much get logged more. the other large number of people are affected. whereas our assistance is limited. community,

i request the international community to step forward and assist pakistan in its humanitarian crisis and help us as escalate me. how much madison with the united nations at its site in geneva, pakistan is echoing that call. it is seeking billions of dollars in aid from the international community to help fund its huge rebuilding job in what is expected to become a major test case. and determining who pays for disasters caused by climate change . i'm joined by dw report, a business job. it is how far has pakistan come in recovering from this disaster? our been, the situation remains critically. dyer for millions of bucket line is this flooding had affected 33000000 people in pakistan, or one and 7 back as danny's. and as my 3rd spoken to some 8 workers, and they tell me that even after months, almost actually more than 5000000 people are still living. i displaced our homeless

and living in makeshift camps made by the government of pakistan. and they tell me that these people are not ready to go back because their homes have been damaged. their drop plans are still under water and their cattle guilt for their livelihood have been completely lost. and it will take them years to get back on their feet and people who have returned to their homes or who didn't leave it as they are now forced to live around, stagnated, polluted flood water, which means their children are getting sick with water. won't it, is it infections snake bites you an estimate that even now, more than 20000000 people in pakistan need humanity and assistance. so the situation remains extremely painful and difficult for millions of pakistani. but a previous un appeal only resulted in a tiny fraction of what pakistan needs were to go to get out of this conference bucket on

a thing that it needs. $16000000000.00 us dollars for reconstruction and rehabilitation of these people. and these communities, it's asking half of that amount from the international community on pakistan, faith that the devastation caused by the flood is a huge climate injustice to it. but as an only amidst less than one percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. but it says that it's bearing the brunt of what rich countries of the world are emitting. so it's asking the international community. it's asking, what need us to do not turn a blind eye to what is happening in pakistan is asking for the international community to help build pakistan climate resilient infrastructure. because august and believes that it may continue to face climate change induced disasters. hundreds of um, bridges were collapsed because of the flooding. thousands of schools and clinics have been badges the pocket needs to reconstruct and rebuild. and now it wants the

intellectual community to help are get done, built climate resilient and frustrated. is it doing enough? i mean, it's asking for a lot, i think back if any government has a has whatever it capacity it has, it has tried to deliver but nor amount, nor, nor even like a, the most rich country in the world wouldn't be able to deal with the disaster that back is on, is 5th thing. still lots reads of land are under water. it needs not only money, but cooperation and capacity building to help deal with this disaster. and that's why it's asking the international community to do it. un is on its sides. it, it said getting pakistani guests and i think at we can hear what the un chief said at this conference. we must match the right response of the people of pakistan with our own efforts and massive investments, to stress american communities for the future. it rebuilding pakistan in a resilient way will run in excess of $16000000000.00 us dollars and far more will

be needed in the longer term. and business, of course we're just talking about these floods gives her the bigger picture. how is climate change affecting? so pakistan is among the top 10 countries that are most affected by climate change because that is the thing, an increase in the frequency and severity of tropical storms and coastal range buckets. only pleasures are melting its home does more than 7000 glaciers. and that's the highest number of glaciers anywhere in the world outside the booth. but these pleasures and melting at a data fine rate causing flooding in the most remote parts of pakistan. which means that the communities, these communities are displacing which have never seen anything like this before. as an alter, experienced heat, we have last year temperature stature, 51 degrees celsius in 2010 bucks and was hit by floods. effect that affected 20000000 people in 2015

a heat. we haven't got our g. i killed more than 1000 people. so but this, our needs are directly being affected. and our 1st hand seeing the impact of climate change challenges out. huge beans. thank you very much for coming in and to explain that solice near the village of lutes, her heart in western germany, gearing up for what could become a violent confrontation. climate activists are refusing to allow the town to be demolished, to make way for the expansion of the gods. while a coal mine police say they may have to force them to leave. these giant excavators are taking their way across the landscape. dozens of villages of already had to give way to them. let so that is supposed to be the next. it's residents have already moved out. but more than a 100 climate activists have moved in to stop the take as as, as much as them, it's very emotional, of course would be to see how the wheels of the dick is excavate more and more coal
