12:00 am
i wonder if that could make things worse that actually this could get more out of hand because there is not a strong government in place so that so far there's been a few months of what they call the horse trading which is everybody coming in and trying to do the sort of term and who will be the leaders so far many iraqis would have predicted that the same leaders will somehow come in and form a government i don't think that you'll have any big surprises they just think basically there's the big there's a big gap between the leadership the elite and then the common person the people and the government formation process whatever the new government is they fear will not address that and because of that they have no hope in the same leaders and these are the same leaders who have run the country since two thousand and three are making promises that they're going to tackle corruption the making promises they want to bring about change what to bring about change it talk to corruption have the documents and so you're out this kind of you the whole process the whole horsetrading negotiation government process has a bit farcical or it's
12:01 am
a pleasure talking to iran i'd always informative and i'm not so from chatham house joining us today. if you want to get in touch with us lee mentioned before hash tag is a.j. news grid on whichever platform you choose to get in touch with us you can use that a.j. english on twitter a few light replies to the thread there and we're looking for your responses with the hashtag you can tweet me directly as well at kemal and a.j. you can hop on the live stream at facebook dot com slash zero to watch in comment as you go again keeping an eye on there and that number plus nine seven four five zero one triple one four nine covers you on whatsapp and telegram if you want to get in touch with us directly we're moving on now israel has reportedly accepted in egyptian brokered cease fire with hamas after the latest round of violence in gaza at least two palestinian teenagers were killed by israeli airstrikes on saturday after israel launched what it called the most powerful daytime attack on gaza since the war in twenty fourteen the strikes are in response to border protests and rocket fire into israel by hamas bernard smith went to one of the areas hit by the
12:02 am
airstrikes. so you can see the power of this israeli air strike and the destruction it's brought on this deserted building israel says it was being used by hamas as an urban training facility but the problem is that when that strike came in there were families and children playing in the late afternoon sun in this park and those families and children gathered this morning to protest against what happened yesterday because two teenage boys who were here with their families were killed when those strikes came in people he fed up they want relief they want people to break the siege for them and that's all they can do pretty much all they can do just send bellew is sent flying and we've seen that no israelis were killed no one was indicted while on the palestinian side one hundred more than one hundred thirty five people killed where you have. that. you'll.
12:03 am
guard sides and kill. the children so i don't think it's up of equation burn unlearned does not equal. life there is enormous frustration here that after more free and a half months of protests at the border fence to try and get some relief from the blockade the twelve year old blockade and siege of gaza this is what they get instead and that frustration is what has been leading to these intensified clashes and confrontations with israel and the concern is that there is not some sort of long term solution to ending the siege or at least relieving the siege of gaza then one of these confrontations chord spiral into outright full scale conflict now contrast airstrikes with the kites you may have heard about stephanie decker has more for us now on these kinds flaming pipes actually that of israel's prime
12:04 am
minister look these kites handmade with flaming rags have become a tool for palestinian protesters rallying along gaza spens they've not caused a single death but they have burned more than seven thousand acres of land on the israeli side the israeli prime minister issued a warning about the kites at sunday's cabinet meeting hours after his military targeted had mass in gaza. in we've heard it being said that israel has agreed to a cease fire that would allow the continuation of terrorism by incendiary kites and balloons this is incorrect we are not prepared to accept any attacks against us and we will respond appropriately. for now the egyptian brokered cease fire between hamas and israel appears to be largely holding but it is fragile israel will not tolerate a scenario by which its citizens will be constantly held hostage by the hamas so hopefully there will be. the problem is
12:05 am
sometimes. in this city by which a kindergartner is here till something can spark a huge explosion. on the streets of occupied east jerusalem we also palestinians how they feel about the kites and israel's attacks on their person they don't have any other tools it's true that these cuts coming home full it's our land the burning but the land is occupied and they don't have any other way to resist and the gazans are real mean but we hear of very weak if we had the right mindset we would all close our shops in solidarity with gaza the march of return rallies are now into their fourth month with protesters demanding the right for palestinian refugees to return to their homes they were evicted from one thousand nine hundred forty eight scores have been killed by israeli snipers it's a political problem for israel the refuses to go away we're told israel doesn't want an escalation its army is already busy on its northern border in the occupied
12:06 am
golan heights but israel has made it clear that if the flaming kites continue it is ready to increase its military action the army and the intelligence services have been warning the political leadership that the current blockade on gaza is not sustainable and if it continues it could lead to an all out conflict the flaming kites have already led to the biggest escalation since the two thousand and fourteen war the question now is will they stop and will the palestinians of gaza be getting anything in return stephanie decker algis there are jews. what most of us can never understand is what life is truly like in gaza but if you have a look at this interactive from al-jazeera dot com you will get an idea this was actually created after the most recent war in twenty fourteen it follows one family on an average day average meaning she rarely gets to sleep for fair the house might fall down it means rolling blackouts throughout the day this is called twenty four hours in gaza visual and already well worth exploring search for that in the interactive section at al-jazeera dot com now at least seven people have died in
12:07 am
a suicide bombing in afghanistan's capital kabul a police spokesman said it happened close to the ministry of rural rehabilitation and development six other people were wounded in that attack and it only serves to underline the latest numbers from the united nations which says a record number of civilians have been killed in afghanistan this year at least one thousand six hundred and ninety two people were killed in the first six months of this year in attacks like this one in jalalabad last week most civilians were killed or injured in suicide bombings and attacks involving multiple fighters including the taliban and eisel and the un only expects the violence to get worse with the elections coming up in october just quickly want to show you those. numbers from the united nations so we're looking at the first six months of the last ten years basically and obviously the huge issue is this upward trend the gray numbers of the injured the deaths is that one six nine two that we were talking
12:08 am
about and if i just go here we did talk about the types of attacks yes sudden and complex attacks ground in gauge mintz twenty nine percent that's obviously where the most of them come from but look at this ten percent or nine percent nearly ten percent of targeted deliberate killings four hundred sixty three casualties in total from targeted killings seventeen years on from this war starting in afghanistan clearly it is still a very dangerous place. we're going to shift gears entirely now to the football world cup that has brought us nearly five thousand ball passes over one hundred sixty goals for red cards and the title of best world cup ever from the chief journey up and tina right now we are how many minutes twenty minutes into the big decider and it is one nil i'm being told two fronts at the moment by this updates of the score one nil to front of them i move this is a global event and that's what we're going to do we're going to use the live wall to head around the world let's start in france. look look at the flow we're going
12:09 am
to go to the top box look at the giant flag waving there just a city of red white and blue the flares of the smoke going off already and then we've got a great as well we can have a little quick look at that a little more subdued there red and white someone holding its hands praying for a goal to be scored all right so let's check in with our correspondents we have got that child stretford he's actually here in doha because we're going to be talking about the next world cup in four years' time we'll talk to him shortly you've got robin forester walker there who's in zagreb coming to him later but well action central in paris with natasha i saw just out of the corner of my eye the eruption of people in the background when that goal was scored look fantastic. i can only imagine he can hear them again because everything back home is actually in moments of the old by croatia and it's woke up it's a dome and anything else in it so one foot broadside
12:10 am
a one up in the crowd behind me was you say absolutely rocked a joy to do they said to me i just that slightly out of the shelter they can probably get to see them in eighteen thousand people have to face and so in central paris where the food to the i can tell you would have to see that exactly behind this shot with they have been chanting and cheering for hours but of course today even louder now to the front house know a new book out foden says two thousand six thousand one hundred ninety eight they are on track as will fans here are saying now for ways that if the course it is any less toxic evolved to go the day we saw every yes ok thanks cricket that's a natasha but they will leave you there with the french fans and we will move across to zagreb here's robin foresty a walk. how's things going there robin. ouch yes just. been listening to
12:11 am
a collective sigh of grief from the croatians to concede that early goal and now the tension is brought she did up a notch or two on the central square here in zagreb where we've got i don't know how many people behind me but lots many croatians and it's a pretty small nation of just four million people and all their hopes and dreams up pinned on then national t.v. now doing extraordinary and taking on the mighty frog so old cards of potential kinds of emotions playing out here in zagreb the capital of a thank you for that rome forestay a walk in zagreb and last of all we're actually keeping it local here in doha his child stratford is that of fans are now in qatar for the world cup here how to believe chiles for his time it's going to be here. it's quite incredible isn't it of all i mean you and i opposed it in this country a good few years we have seen the beginnings of all this build up full the full is
12:12 am
full the world cup in four years' time and not a week goes by where we don't see changes and certainly at this fine zone here. we build the build the house here and it's pretty easy to say that the people here are representative of just how diverse this country is more than fifty different nationalities living in cots and you really sense the excitement here just watching this will cup final so an indication of just what we can expect potentially in full is time of course it's not without its challenges there are questions being asked about how costs up going to come but i was expected to be up to one point five million fans descending will this country is also questions. the kind of cultural sensitivities as well how is casa going to deal with people coming from very different cultures and dealing with for example alcohol consumption certainly speaking to people here in the spine zone i spoke to one. gentleman a few minutes ago he said he was doing the sign about the world cup coming to casa
12:13 am
because he said it was a whole change for the world to see that the world cup could be put on in the middle east not to look forward to thank you charles and of course the rest of the game going on today still about sixty fifty five minutes left in the match today ok and we'll have more from the sports team a little bit later on but we're going to check in with liam now because world cups and social media they just go together they really do and it's all about this trophy that's what everyone's after who's going to win it but the world cup started with some safety concerns if you'll remember for fans traveling to russia especially english fans who were warned against traveling there after the cells very poisoning of a former russian spy but those fears seem a long gone now as this world cup has been called the best one yet one fan twenty four year old and from a new file he documented his journey on instagram he bikes literally biked from egypt to russia he went through seven countries took them sixty days what the players wore was also a top conversation online according to sheer numbers the number one the word for
12:14 am
the number one best kit would go to nigeria folks on twitter were just falling in love with it the jersey sold out in minutes and three million people tried to preorder it people in london even queued up for hours to try to buy the patterned top but when nike u.k. tweeted that it would not restock the merchandise once it was sold out it prompted as you can imagine angry responses online from fans already frustrated after having waited for weeks for the kits release and that there's one thing this world cup will be remembered for most it is definitely the means as i'm sure you've seen brazil's neymar stole the show with his world cup injury diving role people made fun of him after he was barely touched during the match and started rolling around on the ground like he'd been injured this guy personally in him his dive also inspired the neymar challenge this neymar rolling challenge to. he has been watched more than two million times a lot of kids do the neymar diven role after their coach shouted neymar during
12:15 am
their final training and then there was this neymar falling and rolling along the football pitch down a road in three different scenes all the way back to brazil after his team failed to advance their top means include argentinian footballer diego maradona one of the greatest players ever his legacy on social media continues though through means making fun is the over the top behavior while attending matches now england though they top the means with the it's coming home hash tag may have seen this video it was actually later dubbed to be fake showing planes flying over the city but england did remain optimistic until they lost to croatia this video as i said was viral but for those waiting at a train station in england they got this one saying that it's coming home it's just delayed until twenty twenty two and if you're watching this which i'm sure you are do tweet us who you hope you will win but animal predictions were also part of the
12:16 am
game's achilles the cat was the official or call that correctly predicted the result of six world cup games and reckons france will win tonight there's also this bear at the zoo in russia which first sniffed out a watermelon with the french flag but had a change of heart and devoured the one with the croatian flag instead and this tape or it's a kind of animal related to the horse and a rhino if you're wondering picks croatia for the big win but then mario the camel thinks france will take home the trophy of course the game is still on and we'll keep an eye on that and i'm a loser instinctive i tell you yeah out of this stuff mixed reviews though thank you remember all the world cup coverage in one place that i was there about called the glue icon on the front page you can't miss that click through your land here all the results the news video reports podcasts is that is a one stop shop for the whole world cup not just the game the whole cup but al-jazeera dot com and as i said sana and the rest and sports team along later on in the grid an update from our man in moscow and the richardson coming up on that
12:17 am
later. and i'm being told that it's one one in the world cup final croatia have equalized i should really get a live stream going up here should nine let's have a look at zagreb oh are they going to they're happy. contrast that to what we just saw a moment ago with robin far stable and now i should have a listen have a listen god i don't think it matters was what does matter who you support but it's just nice to see people happy isn't it look at that was the crowd they just loving it in zagreb their smoke and flames going off as they were in paris as well and to keep an eye on with these live pictures because i think it's going to be some great scenes coming through as this world cup final continues. having a quick look at what's trending at al-jazeera dot com this. from saturday sunday
12:18 am
wow there's a lot going on the problem with that was that five actually yesterday more people reading that there's also more there you see it now before the video of the huge melting iceberg in greenland and we're going to be talking more about that it is quite stunning pictures and the whole story behind it is quite incredible as well have a look for yourself that is what's trending at al-jazeera dot com. ok getting all excited with the football that we're looking at haiti now a major resignation on saturday's grid we told you about the confidence vote against prime minister jack. never quite got to that he gave in to the pressure and stepped down off the criticism and protests against his plan to raise fuel prices are with us from port au prince. he arrived to parliament is a prime minister facing his political fate and calls to resign jacques de la unpopular fuel price hike which he abruptly suspended after riots
12:19 am
a week ago left his government in deep crisis the chamber of deputies had planned to force the prime minister out with a no confidence vote on saturday but abruptly resigned instead. before even coming here i sent my letter of resignation to the president. the resignation it a week of political tension in haiti most people from the middle class to the poor say the prime minister who had only been in office seventeen months needed to go and the calls for him to do so grew louder by the day that the gas price hike and reversal were just seen as another sign of an ineffective government his eventual downfall came on a day of tension in the capital. the streets there were protests not nearly as large as the ones last week that turned violent but still anger at the government. and calls for more resignations to lay out your. this is also
12:20 am
a message to the lawmakers a warning to everyone we're telling them to be very careful our problem is not only with the ex prime minister but to everyone in this corrupt system including the president. in parliament the day of confusion members of the chamber of deputies yelling at each other as he debated the prime minister's future before they knew he was going to step down but after combe was restored in the prime minister resigned they focused on what it all meant. now we need a new government one that inspires confidence with all sectors we need someone who understands the political dynamic that works across the board we need big changes that can have systemic effect haiti currently now has no functioning government right now now that lawful top has stepped down all of his ministers go with him so what happens next it will be the president as well as the two heads of the parliament that will decide who the next prime minister will be. left parliament
12:21 am
quickly after stepping down without taking questions the country now hoping the political chaos of the last week also goes with him gabriel's on. port au prince. humans with us now journalist at haiti liberte joining us from bogota on skype and we thank you for your time here take us back to the root causes of this protest because we talk about the the attempts in fuel price hikes that's obviously a very acute issue i wonder if there's more to it than that. well yes it's lack of a volcano it's been building up for the past seventeen months of the job now movies that ministration even before that his mentor michel martin both of which have been engine could save the neo liberal agenda that the international monetary fund and the world bank tried to impose in haiti but the corruption has also been over
12:22 am
the top picture of caribbean a fund made up of revenues from cheap business whaling dast provided the country have been pilfered to the tune of about three billion dollars people could get no clarity on that note just assume that there is just the corruption has been over the top three thousand television sets were given to senators and deputies supposedly for distribution to poor in the countryside where clearly they are corruptions scam the millions of dollars were taken meanwhile there's double digit inflation double digit unemployment so the people are fed up and the gas price hike up to fifty percent of mchugh's courtesied was just the straw that broke the camel's back so how much is solved or otherwise by the prime minister's resignation is he just one man in this whole system of corruption. oh yes no this is just the beginning of the long period of instability that people really want to see show no
12:23 am
movies out there they're tired of the but it's part of the ph d. baldheaded party. you want to see him go i mean his predecessor and mentor michel martelly have the same situation of similar uprising in two thousand and fourteen he sacrificed his prime minister more on lamont and managed to survive to hold elections even though they required two passes because they were so compromised i don't think job now i mean there are no crystal ball but can you survive to say that the anger is very very strong and it is likely to continue with flare ups if. he possibly can cobble together a government with some members of the opposition but i don't think it's going to save his presidency all right came out santi so much for joining us interesting to talk to you about to say thank you very much in just a few hours the u.s.
12:24 am
president donald trump will arrive in finland to meet the russian leader vladimir putin but even before his arrival there have been protests against his visit in helsinki the last leg of his trip to europe which has been well full of controversy so far hasn't at his appearance at nice of course in brussels where he accused germany of being a prisoner of russian energy and also his criticism of the british prime minister to resign may just hours before he was to actually meet in britain here as a diplomatic editor james by awaiting the arrival of the two leaders in helsinki hi james. hey come all this behind me here is the presidential powerless that is where on monday here in helsinki the two leaders will be meeting president trump is arriving here about two and a half hours from now there is no agenda for this meeting president trump saying he wants a loose meeting with his russian counterparts i can tell you some close allies are
12:25 am
a little worried about a freewheeling meeting like that president trump maybe the older man but he certainly on the international stage not the most experienced only been in a power for eighteen months when president putin has been in charge of russia as president and prime minister for eighteen years if there is no specific agenda why are they having the meeting while some reports say president trump was so happy about the meeting in singapore north korea last month and he apparently to some white house aides said there were more cameras in singapore than there were at the oscars so he seems to like the idea of big summits like this he explained what he hoped to achieve at this summit in an interview with c.b.s. news. i think it's a good thing for the to meet i do believe in meetings i look i believe that having a meeting with chairman kim was a good thing i think having meetings with the president just china was
12:26 am
a very good thing i believe it's really good so having meetings with russia china north korea i believe that it. does think baird's going to come out of it. well president trump as i said in the air on air force one on his way here and spending the night in helsinki ahead of this summit president putin or he has another engagement in a stadium in moscow he'll be here in the morning goodness me he keeps you busy doesn't he with these big summits james bases our diplomatic editor in helsinki awaiting the arrival of donald trump and. that i'm a person i'm getting world cup updates will check that out the bright this also is currently on the noise in my ear at the moment but we are going to take a quick break here on the newsgroup just in the meantime remember there will be more coming out from the sports same we've got a story about the football fan who is blind and deaf but that's not stopping him from following his favorite teams in the world cup plus. tame have got that for you
12:27 am
on facebook live i'm getting told in my ear look at the pictures from the store again it's a golf fest in moscow at the moment it's two one to france and they are in transports of delight in paris i think the same. way i felt how they are in the backgrounds to one to france in the world cup final way back in a month. the promise of peace in the middle east not. enough but a new dilemma after the death of the man at the center of palestinian struggle. now more than forty years after to status how far has the p.l.o. come to achieving its hopes and dreams concluding the turbulent story of the
12:28 am
struggle for palestinian homes p.l.o. history of a revolution on al-jazeera. al-jazeera . you read and for your.
12:29 am
well coming up don't worry but we're going to greenland now in a pretty frightening situation to be honest an iceberg six kilometers wide is drifting and it's heading towards a remote village and there are concerns it could actually split and cause a tsunami like tidal wave it is looming over the village of in a suit in greenland northwest's about a thousand kilometers north of the capital nuke and it's home to just one hundred sixty nine people the iceberg is grounded but look at what's happened a huge chunk of ice coming across coming off and you can see the big waves coming across there the course carving actually c a l b i n g that's the official term causes those waves all of the people living there have been hit about evacuated and moved to higher ground just in case there is flooding with more of that ice coming off it's incredible and we're going to talk to phil thornhill about it he's in london he's the national coordinator for the campaign against climate change. this
12:30 am
is climate change in action isn't it we're actually watching it happen you'd be hard pressed to deny it. it is indeed i should just correct you on the x. coordinates of. yeah yes it is indeed and it's one of the christened of warning signs that we have a planet is is heating up dangerously. so then i'm guessing this isn't the type of thing which can easily be reversed of course it's this particular iceberg could actually i mean split into more bits fall off what do you what do you get from the pictures that you see in the information you receive i mean sure it could but i think the most important thing to bear in mind at this point is that this this kind of spectacular event that we see from time to time it's the poster child for the changes that are going on i mean the grease for the greenland ice cap is melting at an increasing rate
12:31 am
used to be in the one nine hundred ninety s. it was something like fifty billion tons a year now it's more than two hundred billion tons a year so this this is just the outward sign and more this kind of thing is going to happen as the planet continues to warm up if we don't do anything about it so our our actions as humans as guardians of the planet has to be about slowing this down we're not going to stop it are we going to slow it down we absolutely need to slow it down because the results are already going to be pretty catastrophic because because as you say we can't stop it but if we do absolutely nothing. you know it's and it's an even bigger catastrophe basically i mean. and we've had twenty years of talking about it. or or more but we have not yet began to reduce global emissions do you.
12:32 am
think you do you believe that initiatives like the paris climate change which was good lord so much that they they long term they do make a difference they things which we want people to it's countries to sign up to and most countries have signed up to it but are they the best way to combat and change the types of things which we're seeing here. well it would be if it was an effective agreement for instance if it was a binding agreement the reason it's not a binding agreement is basically because the american congress would not accept such a thing and therefore obama did not push for it to be binding it was not an effective agreement but is at least some kind of a starting point where we agree that we're going to do something about it but that process looks to be in reverse now because at the critical moment when we can see the planet warming up around us and there are these very visible signs like this this. huge carving place there is
12:33 am
a kind of. tide of popular populist ignorance if you like headed to the moment by the most powerful man in the world that is paralyzing the whole process of you know getting down to words and action to deal with this extraordinary phil phil thank you so much for your time today great to talk to you about this. i quite like you thank you i like to show specific articles from al-jazeera dot com but it cation the it's just worth showing you a whole section which we're hopefully going to show you now there it is climate s.o.s. which encompasses everything we do about climate change the environment recycling pollution you name it there's lots of content there from the web team from the award winning earthrise program as well best thing to do is just search for climate s.o.s. and it will be the first hit you get on al-jazeera dot com. i need a break quite frankly here because the very exciting first health believe i've heard
12:34 am
it all in my ear here what viewers don't know the amount of noise going on here anyway bring us up to date with what the fuck we do it's almost halftime in most conference lead croatia to one though we have several correspondents watching the game with the fans not tasa butler is in france and we have robin forth who is in the croatians capital as the grab and of course charles ruff of the isn't that a find a zone here in doha but first let's go to andy richardson who is live in moscow for us and he. there he is andy riches and a lot of them also and the first of all what do you make of that first half. yeah it's really comes alive again the first fifteen minutes not much happened the was in a shot on saw that and then everything that's happened in the last half an hour griezmann free kick deflected into his own goal the boy marry a man who keeps the croatian sense of forward. then croatia hit back by my crush of
12:35 am
being behind in all three of the knockout game so far in this tournament so they used to that feeling and sure enough even paris each got an equaliser for his country not long after that i'd almost inevitably perhaps the video assistant referee as had a role supply para city get involved it was a call that came in and it was about how was it deliberate the referee went to the pitch side of the how to look at it decided it was a penalty griezmann call me steps off and made it seaworthy i think it's really important for this tournament that there is a good final it's been dramatic it's been a dramatic world cup so far plenty of good storylines the last couple of finals have been pretty disappointing both games with a goal scored in extra time but it's bit early to say yeah but we looked as though it could have a bit of a classic building up here and you have seen that impressive the open well closing ceremony was the all the all in present about the tournament. in the closing ceremony was
12:36 am
a funny one wasn't ronald de niro on drums will smith serving up some bagpipes at one point as well i think. but i'm not a big fan of closing ceremonies but. now i think it's pretty it's been a good song for president giani and fencing reckons it's the best ever then again he would say about his first world cup he's been in charge of this beat there's just been some fantastic storylines of the south american fans here in russia have really made the atmosphere i think once again we saw the defending champions this fall it was germany going out in the group stages nobody would have thought that was going to happen we saw them. sue writes this individual pi is a christian or an album little messy perhaps answering the final phase of the pick days of their careers desperately fighting one more time to lift their team into the last stages of the tournament not being able to achieve it bartek said of the tournament on the same night i think the biggest story has been the success of the tournament in terms of the fan experience i think russian fans about
12:37 am
a rare chance to meet supporters from all over the world and perceptions of change definitely on both sides from both sets of fans. talking to fans here they say that they feel as though this is a tournament they've managed to it's not been the politicians world cup it's been the people's will and you just say they will come back to you in a second well before the final kickoff of the official woke up handover ceremony took place or us as president vladimir putin and the qataris i mean behind those fannie mae that show of unity as a thief as president genin fantino washed over the symbolic change and host status while the ball is now officially in qatar is hands up for the twenty eight twenty two tournament it is so important that we can be here together today in this iconic place in the kremlin to mark a pos of football from the organizer of twenty eighteen to the organizer of twenty
12:38 am
twenty two world cup this is football it is passion it is emotion. law it is family unity and. these sentiments that we have been feeling here in russia we transferred them to qatar. well cut us emissions i mean but home of the senate congratulated president putin and also said he will continue to work with russia ahead of the twenty twenty two world cup let's go back to andy for more on that andy you must have heard there here as well and you must have heard a lot to me or put it on the must have heard jenny infantile you know praising of lied to me putting saying that he fell in love with russia and he's hoping to fall in love with qatar do you think qatar has a huge boots to fill. you know we got a lot of challenges ahead inevitably for any country entering the final stretch of
12:39 am
preparations for world cup they still have this ongoing debate at the moment so between faith and various confederations about just how many countries will be at the world cup thirty two teams of course at this world cup forty eight teams will be at the twenty twenty six world cup but there is a push from south american countries and in france he says he's not against the idea to accelerate that process and have forty eight teams. to twenty twenty two organize a saying well ok we'll have a feasibility study and consider the possibilities but they're still preparing for thirty two teams ornaments it needs to be clarified pretty quickly because qualifying in some parts of the world for the next world cup starts in twenty nineteen and i think also this is the amongst fans that i've spoken to here best still largely unaware that this will be a world cup at a different time of the year will be in november december twenty twenty two. that will inevitably have repercussions for many european leagues and i think that will be a story that develops as people become more aware of it and i think also the friends
12:40 am
that i've spoken to are more aware of cats are upset the quite looking forward see because the last three world cups south africa brazil russia a lot of time spent at airports and on trains traveling from going to games i will not be the case in cats over all the stadiums are very close together fans could see a couple of games a day if they wanted to know a very different fan experience and cast so than the one that experienced in the last two or three world cups mind you it is and live from moscow thank you very much and enjoy the rest of the game let's go to paris now with blood lead to one the fans are still lead in all the fans hoping that it will stay that way. absolutely fancy as any hoping they get a win this tournament look i'm a fan zone in the center of paris at eighty thousand fans you can see a sea of them behind me red white and blue and i can tell you it's been a roller coaster of emotion during this to first of all first we had that and go a bike aeration the fancy of the crowd absolutely erupted with joy then croatia
12:41 am
scored and it was of course a completely different story ever looking incredibly worried and then from scoring again and again the crying the shouting and joy waving all flags fancy really hoping that this means the game to the second half they said it will go into the second off a little bit stronger whether that means that when nobody knows yet but i can tell you the people that appear very brave don't they believe they can do it that we won the world cup unfold since one thousand nine hundred eight and they all said and you hoping that in less than an hour hopefully if you don't take some time to march that they'll be putting the trophy. from paris let's go to a rather than forcing a live from the coalition capital as the web rather than call a share hoping to bring the welcome for the first time ever how's the mood right now. it's well there is good here it's up to this to get you to said they still got a lot of hope
12:42 am
a lot of hearts yes there it goes down but when they score it's the equalizer the place just a group which is i ga and beer flying everywhere which i managed to escape hoping under an umbrella but right now yeah i mean you know they're playing so hard the crowds perhaps they won't see gold in the french that's controversial but you know this is such a small country of just four million people the old screen stuff to gets them other things to think about like the infrastructure it ever really had to do with a lot of investment in the case you don't even have a national stadium the current. his today will also be employing team corruption scandals even if that top player who comeau treats himself. facing possible charges when he gets home and yet he's played the game of his life he's played it cool a bit of his knife they will find testicle. jelly well together and you know like i
12:43 am
said they they they have a huge amount of hugs so still a lot of hope here cool for the crew a sin fans with another huff still to come let's hope that they'll come back to a rather than the force it will to live from zagreb thank you very much let's go to our correspondent tell us started here in doha a standing there where the fans tells us after that final whistle it's all fun and games for qatar how the fans feeling about the well cup come in hand for yes. we'll see inhofe time at the boat but ten fifteen minutes ago when those goals would see you'd be forgiven for thinking that the will cup is already started here a real sense of excitement you feel in college at the moment as you say all attention now in this small but exceptionally well see gulf state and of course it's not without its challenges there are questions being asked with respect to how qatar is going to accommodate what could be up to one point five million fans
12:44 am
coming into this country this talk about massive tent cities being built to accommodate them as well as oversee all the hotels and ocean liners being built into the polls as well for accommodation we're seeing massive infrastructure projects being built right the way across the country the metro system we believe will be on the standees jus to open suddenly one line of the metro system in the next couple of months what you can probably hear now is a cultural event stopping here in these tough times. showcasing exactly what the countries want the will to see them going to how this will be. well the big. and the very proud of it happening here and it happening in the middle east region has a whole. bad live from adel. thank you very much for that all right sunny thank you so much for that keeping us updated with the

12:50 am
hundred eight champions took the lead off to eighteen minutes through an own goal by mario. but first time finalists croatia battled back equalising three yvon paris ten minutes later france ended the hoff back on top on one great as month scoring with a thirty seven minute penalty awarded after video replays confirmed a handball let's start with andy richardson who is in moscow for us what a nail biting game it's been so far. yeah has and i think it's been a it's been a really good sort of and so far with with a lot of good storylines and a lot of good games and i think the pressure is on really for it to be a good final the last couple of finals in the last couple of world cups haven't been that exciting that by being decided by a single goals in extra time to sort of fall bit early to say just yet but it's could be a bit of a classic we've got building up it's not all the ingredients so far with it we've had the first ever own goal in a final school program for cheap on months to catch a fantastic equaliser from the even paris and she's been one of the stars of this
12:51 am
torrent and then our old friend the video assistant referee almost inevitably playing a role in this final it almost seems as though it is in the knockout rounds that they all had been sort of put back in its box we weren't seeing it sorry much about on this occasion the referee went over to the pitch saw them honestly decided that parasites again involved had committed a handful deliberately from a french corner and griezmann very calmly coming out to put his country back ahead but you won't be fazed by this they've been behind in all three of the knockout game sort of foreign of managed to come back and i think in the england game in the semifinals you can afford markets higher they play fight in extra time in all three of the knockout games and extra ninety minutes effectively an extra game when compared to france but in the england they seem to get stronger as the game when so on so anything could happen now in this second home and interesting about this is handball and perhaps some criticism that the referee was a bit harsh on the the whole point of v.a.
12:52 am
all was to was to end this sort of control let's see what role has it played in this world cup tournament. yeah it's interesting as i say you felt as though they stopped being quite so dramatic about six use i think one of the issues being is that for a lot of fountains journalists players referees even if it's the first time that they've used it in in a in a top level competition so i think inevitably in those first few games it was with grace of heights and atmosphere around the yard the referees were what was sort of quite a. whenever they were using it and it seemed to settle down i think what it was still ongoing conversations in their ear from from the video referees who are in front of of all these t.v. screens but they seem to be less of. the referee going to the pitch side monitor the idea is if the referee and the video system referee a both on shore in a fifty fifty call then they say to the referee. perhaps now is the time to come over to the pitch side monitor the idea is that it's only for clear and obvious errors now that in itself is is a subjective term is
12:53 am
a clear and obvious error in this case you could argue from biased source from a correlation perspective it might seem as though the ball just hit parasitics hand accidentally from a french perspective his hand was in a more natural position and it's a penalty but was not a clear and obvious error it will not rule out discussion and debate because there is still a human element involved in this thank you very much for now and the richardson watching everything for us from the russian capital we also have correspondents standing by with excited fans in both countries we first go to his house for butler who is with the french panzer fans of course in the capital paris and of course the people that will be hoping that france is going to win this tournament attash are they still feeling confident. i mean i did if you can hear the fans behind me but the chilling thing is began again because when the second hole in this world cup final and i can tell you that the first stop was really one of
12:54 am
the phrase that was in motion with those two goals for all its one goal for kuwait each time the fraud school there that in some of the first times that was a need that was our team and go by the way ship the still go round a ruck team because the counties they went absolutely wild they knew that they were headed in that second goal that i don't even like the chanting just got louder and louder and louder obviously but no one was really johnson with no way to hear those gold what was about to finds out you have time and they said look they feeling called think they know their tomorrow. everybody here is to keep out ninety eight and one last time when phones one from home finally and twenty is going to schools many demands behind me was even cool they were just children who will bet looking for is a victory tonight they won't be able to take you to tears they want the memories to be made by those moments to be there was a night all right thank you very much and in paris for robin farsi and wolf a is in a packed square in the middle of the croatian capitals of europe what's the mood
12:55 am
like there of and. it's tense but the croatians of playing very well in this second off i can just see the screen of its. struggling to concentrate of this on this interview with this guy go behind me but. yeah i mean they're a goal down and right now you can probably tell if you look at behind me at the crowd this is sort of collective focused concentration and how they're all willing to croatians now to draw level with the french said that they can stay in this game it really does look set to be a very exciting second hoff's croatia of course twenty years ago the last time they took on frauds they lost fraud's went through to the final but that was an extraordinary becomes a cup was meant for this little country and now here they are in the finals and looking to make history. they've got the old stuff to get that young to go. but.
