which has been occupied since the election in october, nearly 1200 protesters had been detained as police, dismantled their tents. his com says brazil's newly elected president, reason not eula to silver, blamed his predecessor for the violence and promised a tough response. also, nora has condemned the violence on twitter saying, ransacking public buildings had nothing to do with peaceful protest. thousands of protest is on the roof of brazil, national congress on the ground some smashing their way inside the supreme court. these are supporters of brazil's former president jai, ear, bull sanara. they still refused to accept that he lost the election last october. and they're taking their anger out on

anything they can find president lula da silva. he wasn't in the capital as the chaos unfolded, condemned. the protest is blaming his predecessor, fall to victory. these are real vandals destroying everything in their path. we believe that there was a lack of security and i want to tell you that all of those who did this will be found and punished. po sanara, he is in self imposed exile in the us. posted a series of tweets, including peaceful demonstrations in the form of the law are part of democracy. however, depredations and invasions of public buildings as occurred to day, as well as those practiced by the left in 2013 in 17, break the rule. he also wrote, in addition, i repudiate the baseless accusations attributed to me by the current head of the

executive of brazil. after several hours, police and security services regained control using tear gas and rubber bullets. hundreds of bull senari supporters have been arrested. this is an injustice. there are no criminals. here we were just protecting. we want to save the country. as order was restored in brasilia, president lula was back in the capitol, surveying the damage with a country on high alert. the international community has rallied to support lula and to condemn sunday's violence was crossed straight over to journalism carino and so polo. so what's the latest on the aftermath of those riots in the capital? well,

these days we've seen more than 1200 arrests. the growing pressure on president biden, in the united states to revoke bolts in our former president bolton rose visa. it understood that he entered the united states on ahead of the state. these are known as a one these because he left for the united states a few days before he was to relinquish power. basically before noon was inaugurated, there's growing pressure on violence, revoke motion road. us be whether that happens or not to really say and yeah, i mean the initial off them off all the destruction will likely give president lu assess in short term boost should come at least box dollars present problems with govern ability. further down the road, it already shows that there is like a,

a mass that are prepared to be violent. and like i said, this could prove that while the be a short term boost pollute. i need government because most people repudiate these acts of vandalism. that could be problems, could add to that. what ability problems in long term you say, could give president lula the silver a boost. but how is he responding to the violence? well, he's responded very, very much as i had of station, right? like, you know, you say that you know, everyone's going to be punished that we investigate and punish the necessary people . 2 you know, 1200 people being arrested and a lot of people being arrested. i remember the last fine in my more than 10 years of correspondence in brazil to so many people were arrested once you know, this will be and then the did was go the real key step going pool. the president

knew that his government would be to find out who's organizing and financing these 18 boxes which arrived in brazil full of people, prepared to march and prepared to ra, who paid, paid for the gas to the who paid for the boss was there was there was that people on the inside of the government rule. so working with these vandals, was the complacency complicity with you know, ahead of the, the police, the army, the security forces. these will be, the question is going forward and this is what they are. and his government, a seeking to investigate sam. thank you very much. that was journalist sam kelly. they're in so polo and very much sketch up on some of the stories making headlines around the world today. the u. s. conferences brought in pledges of over $8000000000.00 for flood recovery and pakistan. the aid has come

from 40 countries, private donors and financial institutions. experts say climate change play the role in the disaster which killed more than 1700 people and displaced millions. german lawmakers arrived in taipei amid rising tensions in the region. tie one's foreign ministry welcomed the group. 3 parliament, 3 parliamentary delegations have visited the self ruled islands since october, to show solidarity china, which claims i want as atone, condemned the visit chinese tourists arriving at bangkok airport, were welcomed by thailand's deputy prime minister. on monday. it was the 1st tourist fly from china to arrive there after beijing authorities lifted, pandemic travel restrictions. china has had isolated itself from the world for almost 3 years. now the ukraine were present below them is zalinski says his troops on the eastern front are holding on despite everything. the soldiers praised

continuous assaults by russian troops and mercenaries around the towns of solid, r and bach. this part of the dawn bass front has seen some of the most prolonged fighting of the war. russian military blogs recently reported breakthroughs in those areas and neither moscow nor chief support the claims more on the situation in ukraine, a sport spoke short while ago with mike martin. he's a senior fellow, the war studies department of kings college one a good afternoon, terry. as a specifically, the biggest passes the moment around, newton solid as your package said. the russians have been trying to take for about 2 or 3 months, they've suffered extraordinarily high levels of casualties. they're basically using human life tactics. over the last couple of weeks, they stopped trying to take my food and now moved just to the north buttonwood. this tangled solid, and i think they're trying to flank the ukrainians in bad mood. they failed to take

that all that they have made some small amounts of progress, but at great cost the russian mercenary group, wagner, is fighting alongside routines. military forces in ukraine. what impact or these mercenaries having so again around. but most of the soldiers are from the wagner mastery organization. and many of these are actually from russian person to leave prison, to fight in. so as you can imagine, they're not very effective soldiers. many of them are desperate. many of them give up when they get to the front lines, but a lot of them being stored in recently we saw some, some videos from the head of the wagner group of him, going to visit these mass graveyards of russian ex prisoners in wagner. they know

on their own having a particularly special impact on the battery, but they are providing a large number of untrained troops for the russians to use. mike, i know this is a tough question, but how do you see this conflict playing out in the weeks and months ahead? is a tough question. so i think for the next, let's say 2 months while it's still very, very cold of still snow on the ground in ukraine. that's going to slow everything down. although i think as we can see, the americans, the europeans have just reinforced ukraine again with more weapons. and specifically with some tanks and some inventory fighting vehicles. these are the sorts weapons that you used to go on the offensive. clearly ukraine, we looking to go on the offensive in the spring, if not slightly before, so let's say in about 6 weeks time. overall, i still stick to my prediction that this is going to be over by the autumn of 2023

in ukraine's fiber. mike, a number of countries you, you mentioned the u. s. already, but a germany or france or possibly the u. k. could be contributing more heavier equipment or how do you see that having an impact on the development of the war? sure. that the big shift that we're starting to see now is the move from equipment that can really only be used defensively to other types of equipment that can be used offensively. so specifically ahmed vehicles to carry for in a resulting on tanks mill. so as well as the countries you mentioned quite a lot of eastern european countries like poland, slovenia, slovakia, also then ac equipment. so i do start, this is going to start to have an impact on the wall of c, italy as the russian forces are restricted in the amount of new equipment they can make because of sanctions. and so they're having to pull older and older types of

equipment out of storage. so what we're seeing is 2 trends. the russians are becoming de equipped and the ukrainians are becoming equipped. and eventually these 2 trends are going to meet him. as i said previously, ukrainian victory at some point, i think later on this year, mike, i really appreciate your insights. that was mike martin from kings college london. thank. thank. as mentioned, western allies are raising to sport ukraine with weapons, but they're also supplying humanitarian aid. russian missile and drone attacks have hit ukraine's civilian infrastructure, especially heart dw visited logistics center in germany, that's supplying much needed equipment to ukraine. tucked away in southern germany, one of the largest humanitarian logistics operations. and the country's history is underway. from here, equipment, west 70000000 euros has already been dispatched to ukraine. but for security

reasons, the exact location of the site has to stay under wraps. this logistics interim here in this logistic center is the hub for civilian holy hemlock at the federal government suppliers, women dot, due to its vast facilities and the support of all the volunteers, beliefs through the details didn't want to push. often these packages include heaters lights and sleeping bags for later delivery, but with russian attacks and ukraine's energy infrastructure power generators are key. what the, what father of the visitors know got as it this is it's a claim that is through michael. yeah, this is one of the smaller power generators meter gainer just one of these can power abouts. 10 households teen laser was for switch from the click on the technical side auto fight. it works very much like a car or a bicycle van alan diesel to. there's a diesel engine that power is the machine that out and, and just as with

a dynamic of motion is converted into electric energy to be legal room visits and electrical energy, t h w, as at german federal agency and specializes in humanitarian support. volunteers make this whole operation possible of the next days. these volunteers care about time out of their daily life, to deliver machinery to the polish ukrainian border. alexander columbus is in charge of this convoy team already 17 efforts are very important. i mean, the key is to solve problems together analysis and we have many different skills on board. and we compliment each other against was i was a good combo, usually works as a mechanical engineer at an automotive supplier by law. his employer is obliged to give him time off for his t h. w duty as is shown through. it's nice to know that we can help people who really need it. i don't see we can provide support from here in germany. i think we should do it. and they say massage. over $200.00 th tele volunteers participated an

aide missions to ukraine last year. this is the 1st mission of the new year, about 2000 kilometers, lay ahead of them. yes, present, joe biden is in mexico for the 1st time since taking office as north american leaders gather. therefore, summit biden was welcomed by mexico's present. andre manuel lopez abra door. the talks between the 2 are expected to be challenging with immigration drug smuggling in security dominating the agenda. u. s. president has recently announced tougher us mexican border policies to curb illegal migration d. w, as in as poll is in mexico city, covering the store in us, pressing issues on the table for biden's 1st visit the mexico. this won't be just smiles and handshakes. will it? no, definitely not terry, but you know, it is interesting or we heard like this morning,

early on when love is up at our door, the mexican, a prime minister, gave his daily press conference that he really was praising president bite. and he said they had a fantastic grade in the big car, which is called the beast that president biden are kind of explain explained all these little buttons in the car. so everybody here like a president, a 2 door biden, and here i love his upright or a really trying to put out a good vibe before this or north american liter summit. but indeed, there are some tough questions i to be discussed mainly around migration. well talking migration has the biden administration really changed us policy much on this issue in as compared to that of former president trump talking to people here in mexico city? no, some told us yesterday that he actually even worse ended with his latest announcements

. first of all, title 42, which president donald trump are put in place, is still in place. he didn't change that. that means that it's much harder for migraines, for asylum seekers to cross the border anyhow and bite and just announce that only $30000.00 people who apply through an app will be allowed to kind of enter the process of asylum seeking end that only $30000.00. i'm talking figures per month, 30000 to have already a family or sponsors living in the united states will be allowed into the united states. that leaves this country here, mexico in troubles because there are hundreds of thousands of migrants crossing mexico. they want to go into the united states and that won't happen. so yes indeed, president biden is not making it easier for microns to enter the united states this summer at the same place where you are in mexico city. it involves not just the

mexican and us leaders, but the canadian leader as well. these 3 leaders getting together, can we expect any concrete decisions? yes, it will be of our migration. we talked about it. it will be about climate change, but it will be most and mainly also about economical issues. you know, this is like the north american leader some it might sound a little bit. oh, kind of new for many of our international judas. but this is about the northern hemisphere of the americas, and that's what bite and just put out in an announcement. they really want to strengthen the economy, kill igrit, economical bonds between mexico and the united states and a canada. why? because they kind of want to exchange or changed the dependency from china through deeper bonds of mexico. they want to work on the so shortages of the a kind of a chains they needed, you know, which were in trouble through cove. it's

a 19 to the pandemic, so they really want to intensify at the economical buttons of are the kind of connections between the 2 countries. and i'm pretty sure that we will hear more about that today in the press conference from a president biden and lopez, upper adorned also to morrow and all 3 to abide and, and lovers up our door will tell us what they came up with during this summer. tier, which is taking place behind me in mexico city in us. thank you so much. our washington bureau chief in s pole in mexico city. now, a lifeline for millions of syrians is in the spotlight as the un security council has just passed a resolution to continue international aid deliveries to the country. for months, russia, an ally of the syrian government, has been pushing to end deliveries to serious northwestern italy province. which is the last hold out of rebels, the crossing it, bob aha, is now the only route for international aid. it's feared,

millions of syrians would not survive the winter if the crossing were to be closed . for people in serious north, west, facing extreme hunger, the vote was a matter of life and death. it's cold in the tent or food time. rice lives with her grandchildren and northwest syria at night below 0. her son brings would for the stove. but the cold is just one of their problems. they've been living in refugee camps for 10 years now. and week in week out, food is scarce. when life has brought in and the time and you run, it's been a long time since we are any meet. and frankly we have nothing. well, right. my son goes to work every day and earn 20 lira and that's less than a single euro. how is that supposed to be enough for the children? man. they live with more than 300 other refugee families in how mood camp near the

city of id live. everyone here depends on aid from international organization. the possibility of interruptions, worries people here in charlotte. well, 1st of all, the main thing is that the border crossing remains open so that we can continue to receive aid supplies. we're not doing well if the crossing closes were finished on the bob and how while border crossing is the only way food drinking water and medicine can reach northwest syria. syrian president bashar al assad still does not control the area around it, lead after years of war, but he wants to be involved in any a deal. how do you read the regime in damascus? wants to control the flow of aid in the past. when deliveries went through damascus, only a small fraction made it to the other region i get it live is the last stronghold

of insurgents and islam of the rebels. they know the government sees them as enemies of the state. if the crossing is closed, it will create a humanitarian crisis here. then they will suggest shipping the a via the government and then nothing will get here. the army will steal a launch. i get out right now. rou, time vice and her grandchildren only have one meal a day, and even that is under threat. iran has sentenced to death. 3 more people accused of killing members of the security forces during anti government protests. the crackdown has had a chilling effect on the protest movement, which is largely subsided in recent weeks. but as the government proceeds with executions anger towards the regime continues to grow. it's the knight's iranians are most afraid of these days because that's when the islamic republic

carries out executions in prisons like this, one in college, people are gathering here to show their support for the inmates among the crowd, the parents of one of the prisoners, muhammad, or but lou, the 22 year old, has been sentenced to death and transferred to solitary confinement, along with 18 year old mohammed, brawny for allegedly killing a member of these lamp republics armed forces. who about whose mother says the trial was a sham and that her son had nothing to do with the incident? not everybody knows that they deliberately put this in my son's prosecution file with the aim of heading. my son. that's not right there. committed an injustice experts agreed quoting official documents from the case leaked in october, and one of these 2 men just mentioned wonderful, but little his court documents were leaked in october and even there,

just one week after was arrested. you could see that the, the regime said we need to execute him and we need to expedite this whole process so that he can, can be executed and there was before any, any court proceeding before anything even happened. so we can see that they, these executions artist purely to intimidate people and to stop the protests. instead, they're driving people on to the streets. also here in berlin, where activists gathered in front of the german foreign ministry. they feel the government is not doing enough to pressure the iranian regime and assessment shared by members of parliament as well. i think one very important thing is that am the islamic revolutionary guard corpse. they are responsible for the death and torture of the p that are protesting and iran, and they must be held accountable, accountable, and germany can not wait for other members state,

but has to act on that. and the islamic revolution revolution neri gotch cops must be listed on the e, tara list immediately human right groups, belief this could affect these law mac republic. international reactions press shared can still save and mama mama grew on his lives. but again, we know also that the running authorities need to execute need to implement this step is to spread fear in the society because they haven't managed to control to protest. now about 4 months, they're still continuing. for the time being mass protests appear to have slowed down in iran, but the anger is still mounting in colored protesters stood their ground despite gunshots being fired. and they vowed to be back chanting until the molars are gone. our homeland want to be free. you're watching dw news from

berlin. a just reminder of our top story world leaders have condemned the storming of brazil's democratic institutions for our supporters of brazil's former president julia bo sanara, ransacked the national congress. the supreme court, and the presidential palace in the capital, brazilian. they refused to accept this election. he's not coming up next to it. jerry agreed with dw news aisha. i'm terry martin. thank ah ah
