rena economy, blue economy, and the digital economy, with the new job creation law, indonesia progressively insure the policy report to create all the jobs. invest. let me pause with now. mm. mm. huh. oh, hello again. i missed audio tango, let's remind you about top stories here. the salad, uganda is deploying troops across the border into democratic republic of congo as it battles an armed group. if i was an strikes on tuesday against the allied democratic forces as part of a joint operation with the congolese army russian president that him appears and

says he will seek assurances from western governance that nato won't expand east and comes as nature. foreign ministers meet for a 2nd day now in latvia as capital. the european union has launched a multi $1000000000.00 venture that was the investment of digital transport and energy projects. given country is what european commission president asked of on july and describing as a true alternative. well, let's bring in peace, a clever. he's an e policy. i must, he joins us now from, from brussels via skype pieces. this is really quite the response to china, even in the phrasing of what we've had today, the e you will offer it's financing on the fair and favourable terms in order to limit the risk of debt distress. how's that like you to go over? well, the u. s. i think basically copying what china is doing and is at least aspiring to do it in a, in a better way. now, what is china doing?

it is splashing around a lot of money, a lot of investments. and at least that has been accused, and there are some, some good indications that these accuse ations are justified of, of, of using that money for political leverage. these, these grand projects come with all kinds of political strings attached. so i think the whole belton road thing is actually quite, quite questionable. apart from that, you of course, see what is called white fence projects that are not good value for money. typical waste of government resources. perhaps that's more a concern for. ready for the chinese taxpayer, but when you have the you trying to copy the same thing, i think we should, we should race some, some eyebrows. and so these are looking at the belt and right initiative. and i see china has what more than 13000 projects going across a 165 countries. i see the european commission doesn't even have

a list of projects to be undertaken yet. and i assume some human the states, i'm very impressed. well the question is, what will they be funding? amen. let's assume that indeed to you will not use death for political leverage dandy the concern remains doubt or is this actually going going to be a good investment for the owners? of those are precious resources which are european taxpayers. and unfortunately looking at sort of the, the track record of you funds boats would in to you, but certainly a foreign or spending as you could call it. and then i don't think this is so low of reason for hope, for example, typically what you thus is it gives a lot of direct a bunch of support who very questionable governments across the globe. so so, so yeah, i think we have to really be a quite

a quite skeptical ulta about this whole thing. oh, see how it all unfolds? peter kept there. and e, a policy analyst speaking to us from brussels. thank you so much. pisa, nato, foreign ministers, as i was saying, i have been meeting in reagan where they've been discussing pensions with russia. could you general against alton bag is thinking now let's listen. i was serious political, the could only get consequences for russia. georgia. i'm your very oh responding, last name to partners contributing or issues, animations aspiring force. ringback membership ministers every stop by our decisions are for those sovereignty on her own integrity management. and we remain committed to in house all of the law office where oldest friends need to kick abilities to defend themselves. training on exercising together,

providing maritime support and sharing information. we also addressed the importance of moving ahead with reforms to sanctioned the rule of law and democracy, fight corruption and continue to transform the security and defense sectors. these reforms are key to make both a georgia and ukraine stronger and more resilient. our 2nd session is focused on afghanistan and the lessons learned from naples engagement there over almost 2 decades. ministers had an in depth our discussion on these are lessons and how we can improve the way natal plans and conducts future crisis management operations . both at the political and military levels. naples mission in afghanistan was not in vain for over 20 years to have been no terrorist attacks on our

countries organized from afghanistan. all in 8th though, had the capacity and the political will to conduct this massive and complex crisis management operation. is there that the crisis was the domain must, must remain the court halls for nato. at the same time, we must recognize that the international community, including nato, the e and ed, and the u. n. and the even other actors raised the level of ambition to nation building that broader task proved much more difficult. so we must assure that our levels of ambition remain realistic. despite the brave service of many african soldiers and years of international support, they were hampered by corruption, poor leadership, and in ability to sustain their own forces. for the future,

we must ensure that night thought training efforts traits more self sustaining forces. minutes is also agreed that we would have benefited from more meaningful discussions on the negotiations of the us taliban agreement that concluded in february last year. at the same time, their consultations this year on the future, our mission were open and sincere. and based on this conclusion, consultations, we decided together to end nate those mission, enough columnist on the cobble air lift in august, demonstrated our capability to support a massive of a creation operation night to provide that critical functions to ensured operational cobble airport and lead coordination of navigation effort on the ground, the united states. they're not that kingdom, turkey and norway provide that security and operate to the airport under extremely

challenging circumstances. for the future, we should explore how to strength nato's ability to conduct short notice. large scale, non combatant obligation efforts, either through nato response force or as the span, the long force. these lessons and we have learned from afghanistan, we shape natal crisis management role in the future and us. and as we look back at the lessons from afghanistan, we must maintain our efforts to fight terrorism and build a capacity all our partners, including through the critical work or training mission in iraq. for our final session, we were joined by our partners, finan, sweden and, and by the e. hide absent, they bought adel, we discussed ability and security, and there was some wilkins. the region has come

a long way since their conflicts on the 9th and ninety's. but recently we have the c intentions rice, including in kosovo as well as boston on, had sabrina with more aggressive rhetoric, stalled reforms, and for actors working to undermine progress. nato will continue to promote from promote stability, security and cooperation in the region, and we agreed on importance or presence, including our k formation in causal alo, our offices inside our will. on in belgrade. our cooperation with the european union remains essential and we will continue to work together to preserve stability and support reforms. i will to end by thanking our latin colleagues, sir, for that excellent work in hosting this meeting of nato foreign ministers. this shows once again, not gus, strong commitment to our lines. and with that,

i'm ready to take your questions. okay, we're starting nbc 2nd row, 2nd row him. thanks. mitchell, nbc news. i want to ask you about the serious consequences to russia. he had been that ukraine, if they are threatened with an invasion, is obviously not a nato member. so what more could natal do? what would be the economic and political consequences in afghanistan? and is it you have you that given the humanitarian crisis in afghanistan, that nato members, such as the us, should consider other means of getting money without going through the taliban? what more can be done? i've given, you know, the 7000000000 that's frozen by of assets frozen by the us, and other assets to get to the, the crying need of the starving to her dancing. thank use to return or taller bomb

her in afghanistan. her is a tragedy for african people. and we also see that they all face at betty betty severe humanitarian, her situation her with the coming winter and the risk for a series from italian consequences over the economy. crisis in afghanistan. i need to has ended, it's military person in afghanistan, but ne, to ours are continue to provide humanitarian support through different urine institutions, to how many italian organizations and i wall conduct the course. we need to continue to provide support to the people of afghanistan. and that was also addressed during the meeting to day, the need to provide humanitarian support through different the and national institutions under you, and then on the all new crane. so we have a wide range of options and to make sure that the russia wall ha,

the be confronted with a serious consequences if they, once again, a use force against an independent sovereign nation. ukraine. ah, everything from economic sanctions, or financial sanctions, a political restrictions are but also as we saw off thir, 2014 when they illegally and exclaim, yeah and, and continue to destabilize eastern ukraine, support the separatists in don boss. and that actually triggered the biggest reinforcement of our collect the defense since the end of the cold war, whither the deployment of a back the group, sir, in the baltic region on poland, combat the natal troops for the 1st time in that little history. and also increased presence, sir in the black sea, ah, and also increased air policing and other military activities that demonstrates

naples was sold to protect and defend all allies. and especially in the eastern part of the alliance in the backseat region. under baltic at region, it we provide support to ukraine or whether a waiver or her capacity building. alice brought training, equipment and advice and also share information with them and be monitored very closely. what is going on her on the borders of ukraine are better. but of course, there's a difference between a close and highly valued partner ukraine, where we provide the support and that nato allies where we actually have our collect defense schools and where we provide that security guarantees enshrined in the washing treaty or for all an 8 or alice, so we will continue to use nate to as a platform ah, to her consult or to her to coordinate are also on the,

on the potential at o'clock sanctions and other measures. even though nato's not making those decisions. nato is the platform that bring together north america, european allies, a and e, and older. so to the castles circum on mc sanctions and then of course, need to make decisions on everything right to, to, to, to do security guarantees. so for our nato allies, the congress will go to us today while you've been listening that and nato secretary general yann's dalton bag speaking after a 2 day meeting of nato foreign ministers in riga. they've been talking about challenges in the balkans as well as foreign actors working to undermine progress that he's also mentioned a number of options to push back against russia. that's bringing bernard smith. he joins us now from moscow, but had no surprises there when it comes to the rhetoric on russia. but yeah, insult him back. very clear about the difference between being a friend of nato and actually a member of nato. yes,

an indication that there's only so much nato can do. yen salsa berg reminded the press conference there. what nato did when russia anna annexed crimea. and at that time, russia deployed battle groups 2, particularly to the eastern part of nato's area of influence, to east in eastern europe to the black sea region. but salt and berg also said, what they've, he's repeated what nato's said previously, that they can. and they can encourage diplomatic and economic sanctions against russia. should russia, again, a greg be aggressive towards you? great. and he, and even invade ukraine. russia simply says that it is ukraine and nato, but it being the aggressors, it says ukraine is deployed nearly half its military under $25000.00 people. it says to the east of ukraine. that is where these russian separatists in the dumbass

area fighting ukrainian forces. it says is deployed people there, and russia in response is a, has got troops lined along its borders with ukraine and will be holding a military exercise. is there over the coming weeks with some 10000 troops deployed for winter exercises in the area balance. nathaniel craft from mosque i thank you so much man, and while it is now time for sport, let's hand you either to pisa. the father. thank you will begin by bringing you the latest action from day to of the fee for eric up. the 1st game of the day was of the made been ali stadium in the city of al rayon, between african champions, algeria, that there is a foxes and sudan, bagdad vanessa with the opening goal. and he got the 2nd one as well, jamal bell rami school to make it 3 for the algerians. and it was al arabi su

donnie completed the route. that big win means at ontario, currently top of group d. but that could change the 2nd game of the day has already started hitting for half time, actually egypt playing their 1st match against lebanon. it's go las at the o through mama stadium. the h woke up stadiums are part of cut us most ambitious project. yet with all but one now ready, a year ahead of shade you. let's cross to our report to sort of hide at who's at the i'll john knew but would copy stadium, sora, you've been looking at the design of these venues. what do they represent? i have well, just talk about this stadium just behind me cuz this is where my code is going to be playing its palace fun in a couple of hours. and this is actually designed by one of the award winning architects, the husband who's a british iraq, he architect, she unfortunately didn't get a chance to be the final product she passed away

a few years ago. but what's really interesting is she was famous for her futuristic designs, and the thing is with all of these stadiums, they have a theme. and that theme is based on cultural heritage, not just of cattle and the whole region. so this one, for example, is looking like the sales of a down out of our boats that we use back in the day by paul dive as in cat saw. and along the radian golf as well. and that's symbolical, the past of all the milton aspects of it is the president and i actually got a chance to speak to one of the architects and how to look around some of the statements this week and spoke to the people behind the legacy of the walls cop, the 8 more than state of the art stadiums reflecting catcalls rapid development as a country in just a few years with a common theme, tying them together. heritage architects,

abraham j. the didn't need to go far to find inspiration. phase design level for mama stadium, the gulf for you. ah, the pile of local, the local got the is that we used to where we are kids. i would never forget going to the old suit shopping for all sorts of style of god for years. and i realized that was, there was tons of different patterns and designs, but the challenge, he says, was sending his idea into a functional and sustainable stadium in the country where the temperatures reach almost 50 degrees celsius stadiums are air condition too. while it's open to the sky and interesting, lee even ventilation these, this can have some openings wherever the wind has been calculated, to penetrate through to create the proper breeze. and all the technical matters. categories home to less than 3000000 people. and we've also develop land, it's been in

a unique position to build stadiums without controversial relocating homes are seen in some of the previous house countries. the locations of the stadiums well, wisely chosen to be built in an areas that the national strategy and the country is moving toward and trying to move population toward. since cats are one, the world cockpit, it's accelerated, building its infrastructure like roads and public transport across the country. for the 1st time in world cup history, all the stadiums are within a short distance of each other and not city dreams of football fan. one thing, the more than one game in a day, and we'll get the way to do that and build an entirely new metric system to achieve in a dismantled, bulls stadium, recyclable seats, and venues to be used as sports clubs, educational facilities. it's all parts of castles, world cup legacy plan, of creating a community within and around the arena's. we made sure that the legacy aspect of those stadiums fits their local needs. just bait stadium, which is the opening

a stadium for from the old cup. this to the stadium provides lots of greenery for, for the north and bottom to our pots of about. and this scenario is as replicated throughout our stadium. so we are pretty sure that there will be a, you know, some sort of a daily usage for these facilities beyond 2020, to the middle east. first ever wealth camp has taken more than a decade in the making. a game changer for cats are, as it aims to establish itself as a cultural hub in the region certified at al jazeera, doha well, there you go. sustainability, as well as functionality and community, they say is that the hearts of this massive, massive project. and that's one less than one year to the world. cup. our head a thank you very much for that report. you would have heard the about the h stadiums both full, the school cup each and every one of them. features

a conditioning jana guzman rosco's with me. in the studio, this is a topic that you know just a little bit about, isn't it id yes, pacing it originally. when kathy was given, the world cup went back in 2010. it was meant to be held in the northern hemisphere summer. and that would have been the ambient temperatures across doe, honda and around the stadium would have been in the forty's. so they had to come up with some sort of engineering concept to try and keep the temperatures lower in the stadiums and keep the fans and the players comfortable. so engineering team at catholic university started working on the technology. subsequently the well cut was moved to extend the time to time, but they still felt that they needed this technology, and i was lucky enough to go behind the scenes and our bite stadium with the man behind all of that technology. the man i cold looked cool before the big, we have the air air conditioner stadiums in kata said the stadium is one of them. so it was mark one for us and we learned a lot of

a lot of things. we've done computer simulation. so this, before we went and we finalized the design, we, we, we put the stadium in a, in a, in a very short environment which the computer and was simulated every 2nd for the last 30 years. the weather weather for doha. and we, we saw the amount of cooling, where that, which areas with the stadium would be affected. and after that, we printed the stadium 3 dimensional, using 3 dimensional printers. and we'll put it in a wind tunnel. and again, we'll look, that's how the plan form of the stadium externally will affect the inside of the stadium. that we just walked into this area here where it's very cold and windy. tell me about the technology that you're using. so the diesel dose there with that design channel, the distance between the end of the nozzles and stuff of the, of the field of so they feel to say that one of the most important pieces are elements within, within the stadium. and you have to have

a very healthy grass for the safety of the bay is at the same time grass, let's say you dry a little bit of a dryer, otherwise you will in has like most and things like that. so how do you balance it when you've got a stadium like this? you've got half of the stadium in the sun here, and then half in the shade. how do you balance the temperature? i mean, we have lots of sensors dotted around around the stadium to give me the temperature, air temperature, radiation, and the amount of images do we have. and then we have a big computer room that would look into balancing all these elements. you know that them again, around $20.00 to $23.00 degrees c as one of the messages of say, well, copies to be sustainable. some of you might be concerned about air conditioning, such a massive stadium. how do you balance the sustainability with valid concern? one not cooling before the stadium was only cooling, a small boundary layer at the top of the grass. and the support was with teachers.

and this is all the time recycled is not like i'm pulling air from 40 degree see or 42 degrees c. i'm push it back into stay here while using the same air and call it and record it again. and at the same time, what was on a look at having the best computers have control are good and, and control them using sensory as well. in order to make sure that we're doing it as, as, as, as, as possible. ok back to that egypt game against lebanon, which is still go las at half time. any richardson is there at the stadium watching that match for any. what you made of this match so for well, gee, to sort of force of circumstance, egypt pretty inexperience, a theme paler, it's an official fee for event seems outside the club seems outside of ag turned and i will be going to release that players. so i most notably excited liverpool,

he's on pretty much every egyptian fans. black t shirt isn't here and even the coach call us care of the very experience that portuguese coach says that coming to this are a cup to try some new place and experienced players. but with their eye on things coming up in the future, most notably, of course, the africa cup of nations, which is around the corner at the start of 2022. and then those really soft wilcock playoffs that all african st find themselves in in march. so they're hoping they will be making a return trip to cats or the end of next year. as for lebanon. well, in some ways we have them to thing for you being here. it's all, it was the lebanese, i $963.00 that states the 1st of our of cap. that team does still have a chance of reaching the will company. i have going to potentially go into a playoff system if they can finish 3rd and i will qualifying group talking to the fans here. not to not to optimistic about the chance or at any richardson with good talking to you. thank you very much. we'll speak again later on else as they

are now to a big story away from the arab cup. the n b a, the biggest store. the bron james is facing up to 10 days out. sidelined by corona virus not been confirmed yet whether he has the fires, but he has been placed in the n. b a code 900 protocols which saw him miss tuesday's game against sacramento. but then that's all for now. we'll be back in a few hours time. for another sports update at 1545, g and t state seen here on al jazeera, for an avenues update december on, on just either guitar host. the fact that arab count a momentous event for the region and a glimpse of what's in store for the 2022 wildcat. people in power invest the gates,

the use and abuse of power across the globe. a world exclusive interview with joint nobel peace. lori is recognized by safeguarding freedom of expression as a pre condition for democracy and lasting peace from shore. documentaries to in depth explain portal showcases the best vouchers, ears, digital content as the year draws to a close. we look back at the events that have shaped the news and look ahead to next year, december on a jesse europe in the country with an abundance of results for the trade bar and want indonesia, his firms. for me, we move forward to grow and fraud. we balance for green economy, blue economy, and the digital economy with the new job creation law, indonesia is progressively ensuring the policy reform to create quality jobs invest . let me park when this is growth and progress in indonesia. now

the philippines is fighting to restore fight in back st. i thought be going to leave tonight and the wrong one. 0, one east investigates on al jazeera. the stage is set and it's time for a different approach. one that is going to, i was the way you things were did to the sound bites, and were digging into the issue from international politics to the global pandemic . and everything in between. join me if i take on the lars. dismantle the misconceptions and debate the contradictions upfront with me, mark lamond hill on out 01 half scottish and half level east. so diversity is really important to me and i'll de 0 is the most diverse place i've ever worked . we have so many different nationalities and this is these brought together in

this one youth organization. and this diversity of perspective is reflected in our coverage, giving a more accurate representation of the world. we report on and that's a key strength of alpha 0. ah, nature, it says it's up to the alliance to decide when ukraine is ready for membership in russia has no veto over that decision. ah, hello there, i'm is darcy at hey, this is out of their life from doha. also coming up. ah, ugandan voices crossed into democratic republic of congo and an operation against an armed group linked to i feel evidence. imagine that the army con variant was in europe.
