8:36 pm
and the fans who follow them with you. now that the great been drawn out, there's a real sense of excitement here in so ha, that off to 12 years of preparation and build up the 1st middle east. well cup is getting very real indeed. john gosh raska, i'll just read though. oh, carter has come a long ways since it was the bid to host the world comp over 12 years, the country has built 7 state of the art stadiums, one will be dismantled and reassembled elsewhere. transportation has also improved cause has constructed a new international airport and 76 kilometers of railways. it's also refurbished hundreds of kilometers of roads. although there is still a long way to go. the country has been improving labels and it's human rights record. that's off the concerns about the treatment of migrant workers were raised by rights groups. the well let's bring in our
8:37 pm
guess. now they're all in dow hud. we have daniel ration. he is a visiting associate professor at georgetown university and also the author of the book called her and the 2022 fee for wolf comp, politics control the sea change. i show congregation is an african football journalist, and rob harris is a global sports correspondent for the associated press. welcome, a warm welcome, i should say, told you if i could stop with rob, so germany versus spain. let's talk a little bit about some of the highlights after the line up and groupings. this is going to be a clash of the titans in group these net. yeah, me see of the 20102014 world champions. obviously they have not quite had the heights of success in recent years, but it does offer one of those thrilling match ups, which is actually only come about because the germans are in call to do their recent performances. and unlike every other continent,
8:38 pm
europe can have to from ad that their own consonant within the same group. so it gave us quite an enticing fixture for those early stages. or, you know, obviously the way the groups assess of the never know the germans did go out of the group stage in 2018. so, you know, there will be where this time again, a lot to watch out for daniel, your book touched upon politics in a world cup. are things going to get a little politically heated in group be when we start seeing iran versus the u. s. or the u. s. versus its former colonial power. england. well 1st so far as i me a thank you for calling my country germany a tie tam. i'm not so sure it was a sister as a case, i think, but really generous enough to give you guys that title. yeah, thank you. as a political science professor, of course i was laughing when the u. s. and iran were drawn into one group,
8:39 pm
or one of the chances will be i think the match won't be heated because it is a traditional, very frankly, into actions and sport between the u. s. and your arm particular in wrestling. i let me bring in. usher, where is the drawer left? the rivalry ushered the thing between south america on the one hand and europe will south america be able to avoid that pattern of being eliminated by europe, which we have seen in the past. well yes i look south america obviously bring a lot of quality change to the world cap and it goes without saying that tyver and he's tried to to see what you know, messy and gina can do this on time. but also you regret a bit quiet and in there and they feel that they're going to bring a lot of energy into this woke up, obviously the time difference is going to be a little bit complicated for their funds. but also for the plasma been playing
8:40 pm
europe and they know each other, they know each other. they played against each other club level in the leaks in, in europe, but also in the u. s. a champions league. so that should be quite exciting. but i think south america this time will have an upper hand. i guess we'll see rob nother interesting development canada are going to draw the crowds off the qualifying for their 1st world cup in 36 years. yeah. what a success. it was for a candidate to find the make it back to the woke up they see as a, a reflection of the growth in recent years. and we certainly see in as well as the women's games successfully that, that they are the olympic champions. and yeah, the man, i've been waiting since 1986 to get back to the world cabinet. got belgium, who are the world's number one brain t. and they have been for several years. but they do have that distinction and actually winning anything even throwing it away in the nations lee last year. so
8:41 pm
reverse martin as a side, they offer so much promise you much higher, but perhaps they don't always deliver on the big stage for 3rd and the 2018. told them. and how fit will it has that be? will a car who actually be in goal scoring for chelsea going into the torments is torment like no other in world cups because of course it's coming in the the middle of the european season. kind of, they're also facing morocco and croatia to well, moroccans bring a lot of fans to cats are given the year, the close proximity asher. we've got to talk about africa. where does the groupings, where did the groupings leave africa always sat for a little serving of revenge. i wonder in group h, with garner versus uruguay, and maybe some pay back for louis suarez for his foul 12 years ago. honestly i saw this coming before the dra. i was thinking to myself, it will be quite interesting if i can. i can joe,
8:42 pm
you have your crystal ball or something. how did you see this coming? the ball of the bad everything i was said, no gun. yeah. so i'm really, honestly, i don't think that gans, or even the african continent has ever recovered from that moment. it's going to be a fresh is going to be a heated game then, isn't it? it's definitely going to be a heated game. you know, at the more general obviously missing that penalty in 2010 in africa. and this deal, obviously a lot of sentiment in there and gunner are going to come out to say, okay, we were robbed the last time out because they could have actually become one of the 1st african team to make it to the semifinals of a world cup if that goal had gone in and been accepted, but obviously it's changed since then it's v r. but either way it's very tough
8:43 pm
group for ghana, especially if we had to look at their qualification journey to getting to the woke up. yes, they'd be nigeria, but not that convincing. however, the talk they have to i don't who has done an incredible job with that and been out of experience if they can get, hadn't had some doin and teach to play for them. i think that could change a lot of things and said top of the team, i've not only been a journey for them. let's talk about the may king to get to this point. daniel, spend a bit of a journey getting to carter 2022 though the preparations is the country ready. it is. i think when we compare this with a couple empty games, most new as we read before, the event were concerns, but the infrastructure is getting ready. this seems to be not an issue. he has a stadium completed, but also other infrastructure such as the court. so i think that countries on track
8:44 pm
of causes has never hosting an event of such magnitude. so it remains to see that might be also unforeseen issues happening during that event. because that's a cup when the fan caught was introduced and didn't really work that wall. and then organized and decided to abandon it, which i think was a very good decision. so it's also about being a quick learner when you host events of such magnitude. and if stuff happens and says, always stop that happens, then we need to quickly adjust as the organizers have done that the are a cup which i would consider a pretty successful preparation event. all right, well i have gone from not to 60 for the quickly on the go back to asha though and say still there are concerns about accommodation. is everyone going to get a place to stay the a think gotcha. wisely. as here in december for the fees
8:45 pm
are kept, and i remember just trying to figure out, okay, so if you have one me, then people coming into gotta, where can they stay? obviously there's an incredible line up foretells here, but they also options it personally. if i was a fan and i was moving to the woke up, i wouldn't want to stay in a 5 star hotel. i want to stay perhaps like on a boat. and maybe in the desert, there's a couple of places i saw out the door about an hour away where they've constructed like tense and these 10 you could stay there with your friends, maybe about 5 people in one tent. and i think that, you know, would be like a good experience for everyone coming into guitar. it's november, it will be winter in europe or most parts of the northern hemisphere. so if people can just come and pick up and be open minded and not really just want to be in the 5 star hotel, then there's, you know, options that they can consider during the walk up why there's been
8:46 pm
a lot of controversy robber around labor issues how have they evolved over time despite the reforms? some rights groups like human rights watch last month talk about reports of work is still not receiving wages for months. they've been reports about work as being paid low wages or recruitment agents taking large fees from people signing up for jobs. how is how's all of that evolved? well, it really reflects the need for enforcement across the country so. so my separate and the 8 well capsized, no stadiums are largely finished with how you regulate the construction that is all across though higher in particular, you just have to walk around the capital and the constant building work on hotels and the roads as well. so there's a lot of regulations to actually check a being in force, particularly very often in joint ventures between ca, power and european firms. and they're all those calls still for actually the
8:47 pm
unscrupulous pull employees to actually be clamped down on which will florence is do say they all doing side, but there will still be those gaps. and also is looking backwards as well as that being compensation for those workers who have suffered in the construction of the infrastructure required this well cup of the complete investigation to the transparency over the numbers of those who have been injured. those who suffered in ways that are unquantifiable, sometimes it's been working in the high heat and then unnaturally dying early because of the implication perhaps on your heart. and we often hear a lot of natural death that data being put down to which might not factor in fully the impact of the working conditions. but certainly katha is in a better place now when the bid was one and around the time the bit was being pursued at the end of the, the previous, the decade. the end of 2010 now. well,
8:48 pm
they weren't really discussing the rights issues in katherine more about the he is catherine football nation. is it we can actually accommodate the world cup. so any, when the building started to begin that really the likes family, the focusing on the unsafe conditions. the laws that actually denied rights to work has to be up to lee jobs and the cost of them even coming into the country. the exit ve permits as well, they had to pay for. and the reforms that been introduced have actually been at a pace that might not happen, had it not been folded walker. also things like this month's doing the ca fall a system which has not happened in other countries. so it definitely the, well, it has brought about changes. now the rights groups that demand and that those group, those changes do continue to be brought about after the walk up and the enforcement of as well. once the footballing spotlight is off cattle, that's really interesting point, daniel, maybe i get you to comment on that. we often look at this in terms of what is cut to doing to the world comp process,
8:49 pm
but what does the world comp process done to kata right there's, there's been an awful lot of change because of the intense scrutiny and spotlight that's been put. maybe more so and carter than any other golf country when it comes to labor conditions, labor laws, the cofactor system, which, which daniel, which rob mentioned the introduction of a basic wage and so on. yeah, i concur with much of what rob said, and i think when cut i was awarded to what comes into so much 2010. as this came the main issue and cut i was right 40 criticized for the treatment of migrant workers a. but we should also recognize that a lot of changes have taken place. maybe it took a bit too much time and they were realized, but they were so the confound system was this mended, this means workers can now change their workplace without approval. so employers
8:50 pm
that can leave the country without needing an exit permit. as a summer working hours have been extended by outside book is not allowed, a minimum wage has been introduced. so on the legal level, a lot happens, of course, now we are in a different stage. now it's about proper implementation. but i would also like to mention that that's a government that many inspections all of us the summer and find many companies. and now it's also the responsibility of private companies who are from all of us would to properly implement these reforms. so i think is cut out perfectly. no. but changes that have taken place need to be recognized. nice and of course, challenge has remain. but we should also stop comparing cover with countries from the west. we need to compare, cut with countries in the region, and in the region cut became now
8:51 pm
a pioneer. and i would wish that countries such as those who bought a cutoff would funnel is a cut. how reviewed and implement similar reforms, this would improve the life of millions of people. all right, you mentioned that your presence, you said, hey, i'll stay in attend outside of doha. what about transform? how is that shape top, you know, in the sort of, in the build up to the games. we've seen articles in some of the english newspapers talking about english fans coming on a fact finding mission and then complaining that they've had to walk 45 minutes from a metro stop to a stadium as that sort of challenge been addressed. how they thought through now, all of the, the transport network i'd like to believe so because as you can see, the seats are kept in my opinion, was a good tournament to sort of prepare tough for the woke up and obviously before
8:52 pm
they used to be the confederations kept a year before the woke up, but that didn't happen last year. so the, our cab, you'd say, with 16 teams was a good fit. obviously you have to deal with that to see a couple of things that can be addressed. and i remember doing the article, yes, there was some issues, you know, for example, if you go to the stadium, you know, you have to walk in a certain direction and it's really a long way. and i felt that back then, there was not really so many provisions for people, for example, you know, will chair that the distances but very long for them. or if someone, you know, is walking on crutches and how accessible would it be for them or if they're an old fashion, maybe in the seventy's and they're unable to work. but i think that these things have been addressed since it's 3 months is december. so i feel that, you know,
8:53 pm
that there are, in that sense is ready for the woke up and talking about the metro. you have obviously the measure that is low connected to the stadiums. and people need to know that this is going to be the most compact woke up ever. if anything, if you look at, for example, russia, you know, it was very difficult to move from one venue to another, literally across the country, brazil as well. it was huge, you have to take flights for hours, but here you have 7 stadiums almost in the same area code. and you have a distance of at least a maximum 45 kilometers. if you're in the city center, for example, the stadium 9747 kilometers away. you know, and then you have the sale, which could be the father that 22 kilometers right from the center has. so people just need to be open minded. i feel that there's been so much negativity towards the hosting this work up. and this is just the open minded to come and enjoy the
8:54 pm
work. all right, let's hope people come and enjoy it and let's hope everything goes smooth for rob. carter. 22 has faced all kinds of headwinds over these years, right? i mean, unthinkable things from a blockade a global pandemic. now, the war in ukraine is the, can we finally say is the show now unstoppable. yeah, this is a work that does look on course. probably helped by the pace of the pandemic. so many other sporting events impacted in the last couple of years. but the postponements in the, your rise to the lympics and impacts you saw you much around the world. but i suppose many thought this is the welcome might not ever reach the point to kick off a cat that has looked less lightly. that would be threatened in recent years, but the media pay read off to be warding and devote in 2010. the focus of the corruption investigations be for finding some wrong doing in their pro,
8:55 pm
but ultimately not enough that warranted anything that believed it should be overturned as they found issues with many of the beds around the period when free for conduct was questionable. encourage to perhaps a neighbor of less rigorous enforcement of regulations would need having regulations and then the potential threats as well. busy for the disruption cost, the european season with european clubs and leagues not happy about the switch from the usual june, july slot to november, december. and there's been investigation typically, you know, starting her cattle was very concerned about how it could lose the right. so, but actually trying to sort of make sure those who took part in the decision making would not be going against them. and then of course, the more recent years with the diplomatic crisis in the gulf and being targeted by saudi arrived by the u. i. e and the attempt to squeeze on my son, catherine forcing thou, how to go and search for the life of turkey to bring in construction and elements to be able to ensure building stayed on track. and there were perhaps one point
8:56 pm
when faith was even trying to spread the well cut beyond, kept out with the denali cancel the right to have this 1st middle east, well companies. and that was talked about with me to the after the vote as well in 2010, but that'll be managed to preserve. it stays as, as the sole host and future pop. didn't get it switched to be the peacemaker at the time as being seen of bringing the, the neighbors back together again. alright, daniel, you, 1st in about, as i said, politics and control the sea in fif in the world. come, where do you think a successful hosting of the games is going to leave the thief a bit to try and make the world cup every 2 years instead of every 4? well, it strengthen the argument of those who say, look, you know, this will help to give other regions other countries a chance to host and pull off a good show. yeah, certainly, i mean football, it's the most global spot. and there is sufficient interest around
8:57 pm
some would also talk to what come every other year. i think the question once more how what effect like for example, the attention women, what championship get on group competitions and other spots. so i assumed they were not that happy about the work of every as a year, but you know their sports and i talk you, we have every year what cup in hand, but every other idea. so put up the 1st spot, but it seems a bit that this issue is on hold, but it's remains to see what's going to happen. i would be not surprised. it's just come suggesting it comes back on the table. all right, fantastic guys. it's been good talking to have i unfortunately we are out of time. let's thank con, guess daniel rash, coleman, geisha and rob harris. i'm thank you too for watching. you can see the show again
