) Today in the studio: Judith Rakers. Good evening, welcome to the tagesschau. Today in Ukraine, in the midst of war, we remember the beginning of the Holodomor famine catastrophe 90 years ago. Millions of people had died: the then Soviet dictator Stalin had farms forcibly collectivized and grain confiscated. Ukraine sees this as targeted genocide. Chancellor Scholz said in a video message to kyiv that hunger should never again be used as a weapon. That is why the food crisis resulting from the war in Ukraine cannot be tolerated.

Solemn mass for the victims of one of the most terrible chapters in the history of Ukraine. The 90th anniversary of the famine in Ukraine caused by the Soviet leadership: the Holodomor - killing by starvation. Ukrainians need to remember those things. And who did them wrong? The rigorous and forced collectivization of agriculture in the early 1930s deprived farmers of their livestock and income. Ukraine was particularly hard hit by the resulting famine. More than 3.5 million people died in the winter of 1932/33. There were also millions of deaths in other regions of the Soviet Union. The Ukrainian president draws historical parallels with the Russian war of aggression.

They want to destroy us again: with bombs, bullets, cold and again with hunger. Concerns that also exist among the population. This is a great pain that runs through the century, through generations. I have the impression that everything repeats itself. The memory of murder by hunger is a day of silence in Ukraine. Several countries have classified the Holodomor as a genocide. Therefore, Ukraine now looks towards Berlin. The Bundestag wants to vote there on Wednesday whether the Holodomor will be recognized as genocide in Germany. Chancellor Scholz has promoted plans to make it easier for immigrants to naturalize. Men and women have contributed to a strong economy in recent decades.

The Turkish community in Germany told the Germany publishing network: It is important to allow greater political participation. The leader of the CSU regional group, Dobrindt, warned in the BILD newspaper against the "selling" of German citizenship. The Union could enforce the changes through the Federal Council. The United States prohibits the sale of communication devices from well-known Chinese manufacturers. According to the US telecommunications regulator, Huawei and ZTE products are affected. The reasons given were that the devices posed a risk to national security. The United States accuses manufacturers of having close ties to Chinese authorities and warns of espionage.

More than 470 species of wild animals and plants around the world will be better protected in the future. This was agreed by representatives of 184 countries at the end of the World Species Conference in Panama. The resolution stipulates that the trade in sharks and rays in particular will be more strictly controlled. The ban on the ivory trade was also confirmed. Environmentalists welcomed the decision and called it a success. Sharks are fearsome hunters, but important for the balance of the oceans. Their fins: a lucrative commodity, a delicacy in Asia. The World Species Conference now more closely protects 60 shark species.

Their populations must not be threatened by trade. A great advance, say biologists. Sharks control the populations of other fish and ensure the health of the oceans. Without them, algae could increase enormously at the bottom of the food chain. But there was resistance. Japan and Canada wanted to prevent the comprehensive protection package and fishermen criticize what they consider excessive rules. Around 470 wild species receive stricter protection. Like some sea cucumbers, which are considered marine vacuum cleaners. Also 37 species of fiddler rays, whose fins are popular. Trade in 30 species of reptiles and 160 amphibians has been restricted or banned. Trade bans on rhino horn and elephant ivory were confirmed.

However, Namibia is allowed to trade live rhinos for species conservation purposes. The tropical timber business will also be more limited in the future. Important for environmentalists because species loss fuels climate change. Burning tropical forests and monocultures can store less CO2. We are losing our most important ally against the climate crisis: nature. The conference sends a strong signal in times of species extinction and climate change. At least one woman has died in a serious landslide on the Italian island of Ischia. According to the prefecture of Naples, several people are missing. The accident occurred in the north of the tourist island.

Heavy rain caused the landslide. The tourist town of Casamicciola Terme was especially affected. Rescue teams continue to search for missing people there. Don't move, we're going to look for you, the lifeguards shout to a man dragged through the masses of mud. In six hours, 120 liters of rain fell per square meter. They caused a landslide. He passed through the spa town of Casamicciola Terme. Several people are missing. Reports of eight deaths were not confirmed. The mud dragged cars and buses into the sea. Roads and buildings were destroyed. According to Civil Defense, 100 people were isolated from the outside world.

Strong winds of over 100 km/h made it difficult for support forces to reach Ischia from the mainland. The situation is very serious. Extreme weather is increasing in Italy. The reason is the warming of the Mediterranean. The risk of heavy rain increases because many areas are sealed. It has been built too much and compacted too much. The search for the missing people currently continues. The inhabitants of Casamicciola Terme should not leave their homes. Christmas Eve is exactly four weeks away. This marks the start of the Christmas market season in most cities. Some markets have been running since last week;

More were added in this first weekend of Advent. After two years of pandemic, it is the first season without Corona restrictions. Claudia Korn has been selling speculoos at the Cologne Cathedral Christmas market for 27 years. The last two years have been bad for her. In 2020 the market did not take place due to Corona, last year only with access controls and masks. A negative treatment. But this year it's like before. We have the feeling that people want to buy, to experience something, to go out. Enjoy being in the crowd again. The Christmas market is full, despite the crisis.

Only a few wear masks. Inflation is especially noticeable in the case of mulled wine: a glass costs 4.50 euros, 50 cents more than last year. People still drink. After the long Corona period, it's great to be among people and enjoy life again. Here we don't think about crises, we just want to clear our heads. The hustle and bustle means you don't have to worry and just enjoy the time. It's four weeks until Christmas. There are positive signs that Christmas business could reach pre-crisis levels. City centers are full. Could it be that people not only want to meet each other, but are also willing to spend money?

Important: there are simply no new crises. So this Christmas business could go very well. She once sang Remember My Name: Irene Cara. Now the American actress and singer has died at the age of 63. According to her agent, the cause of death is still unknown. She became world famous with the lead role in the 1980 film Fame and the title song. She later followed Flashdance, and she won a Grammy Award, a Golden Globe and an Oscar for its accompanying song, What a Feeling. After the defeat against Japan in the first match of the World Cup group stage, the German team is under pressure.

Only a victory against the Spanish favorites tomorrow will help us reach the round of 16 alone. Coach Flick is expected to change the team in some positions. For Hansi Flick it is the most important match so far as national coach. In the last training session he swore everyone in again. There is a risk of early elimination from the World Cup against Spain tomorrow. We all want to stay in Qatar, that is our goal. We know that tomorrow's game can only end if we win. This way we can go to the round of 16. The DFB is already condemned to win.

The players are said to have spoken bluntly. You have to try to give your best performance. The team is challenged and ready for it. A winning mentality and a proper match plan are needed from Flick. He does not know if Süle will move to central defense and who will play at right back. Kimmich will almost certainly remain in midfield. Joshua is one of the top six. Therefore, he is someone who can lead the team and provide stability. Change of course or end of the World Cup: the match against Spain will show where the team's path leads.

Defending champions France were the first team to qualify for the round of 16 of the World Cup. Coach Didier Deschamps' team also won its second group stage match with a 2-1 victory against Denmark. Superstar Mbappé is France's man of the day in their victory over Denmark. There were only goals in the second half. Mbappé and Hernández with one-two, then 1-0 on the hour. The well-deserved advantage at this point. Seven minutes later, Eriksen takes a corner. The 1:1. First goal in the tournament for the Danes, who won the last two official matches against France. Lindström missed a great opportunity in the 73rd minute.

In the 86th minute the decision was made in favor of the French. Mbappé was there again. His third goal of the tournament gave France a 2-1 victory and, therefore, a place in the round of 16. Also today, Tunisia played 0-1 against Australia and Poland beat Saudi Arabia 2-0. And here's a look at the lottery numbers. Now the weather forecast for tomorrow, Sunday, November 27. The low Atlantic foothills control the climate and bring us not only soft air but also lots of clouds. Tonight is clear in some areas, partially dense clouds or areas of fog and high fog are spreading.

Some showers in the east. Tomorrow there will be many clouds and thick fogs in the south. More sun in the mountains and in the east once the fog has lifted. Late rains in the northwest. Light frost in the eastern and southern mountains. Very foggy morning. On Monday the weather will be unstable. The following days are usually gray and the temperature drops slowly. On Tuesday there will also be snow in the mountains. The topics of the day with Aline Abboud at 22:50 travel close to the front lines in Ukraine. They accompany the paramedics. And: Final feeling in the match between Argentina and Mexico.

You have a good night. Copyrighted subtitles: NDR
