1:07 pm
it can be quantified for now, but can the gusts be quantified? how much money has been spent on the total eat stadiums and also on the infrastructure that has gone, including the mattress and the connectivity that has gone on are to create the ecosystem for the fee for world cup. so how much money in total has been involved in the fee for woke up? is cather begging it, as $1.00 of the highest cost woke up in the world? and ah, what is the reject on expected in terms of the employment that it's generating? i end up, that's one question on the employment. the 2nd question about the nationalities that have been involved in the construction of the stadiums, as we know are there are many nationalities encountered population. so how many nationalities, how many countries population of been involved in the construction just so that they can also feel pride in the work of being host. thank you. i can look, we want to focus on accommodation, hey, ticket sales and other questions related to the organization. i didn't or we didn't realize this was going to be a economic statistics press conference. what i can tell you is listen,

1:14 pm
alcohol policy for the woke up will be set in stone. if you like. they didn't give us a date to clarify the whole policy, but they have clarified a couple of things. and that firstly with their gods alcohol at stadiums. m is going to be available a 3 hours before kickoff. and on the, at the outer perimeter of the stadium, the, the conquest, if you like, say, 3 hours before kickoff at a stadium, alcohol will be available to fans outside the state. im as i said in the perimeter, and for up to one hour off to full time. now no alcohol was going to fill out inside the stadiums that that was mentioned in this, in this news conference today. they will serve alco freebies inside the stadiums, but no alcohol inside the stadiums. and then another rima was addressed in that press conference as well. they were saying, that's it. been that been a talk that fans zones were gonna have a time limit to when they were going to have alco. they're only going to have alco
1:15 pm
from 6 30 pm at nights. and a lot of fans for thinking, wow, there's 2 games before the 6 30 pm game, so we can have no alcohol to watch those games at the fan science. and again, that was, that was power fights. and so there's one fan zone in doha called the fif of fan fast. now this is it, this one is going to be more of a family friendly fans, i'd say. and that is the one fan zone where you will not be able to buy alcove before 6 30 pm in the evening. but as for all the other fans in the country, there's going to be no time limits on the alco availability there. and, and also the time limit for alco at the fif i'm fest the 6 30 pm that that's also not going to apply any hotels either. so that was what was said about the alco today's that cleared up a couple of things to people. now, one of the other talking points was accommodation again that being the b remus circulating around the abbey and b owners, we're going to charge up to $70000.00
1:16 pm
a month for accommodation for the woke up. and when one of the accommodation questions is put, it's supreme committee, they clarified that official come accommodation, available through the tournaments accommodation portal. and that's going to have affordable accommodation, which has been subsidized for fans. anything outside of that people are renting their own personal properties out all in a, at b and b. there's gonna be no cap on the price. that's just people that own the properties, again to be free to charge whatever they want. so that was one point that was car fight it in, in terms of the general readiness for the tournaments. the supreme committee said they were there quite happy with the results. the infrastructure is ready, the transportation is ready. they just have some fine touches to iron out, should we say. and the briefly, this press conference was held at the sales stadium, which is where the sales supercop is going to be held to morrow. or to what extent is that a tournament morrow going to be seen as
1:17 pm
a test run for the world cup was to bring committee there and that these conference caught at the last testing milestone. so there's going to be, they expect it to be a sell out, $80000.00 fans in attendance. so this is going to be a great opportunity to test all the infrastructure around the state. if you're the transportation that getting into the stadium itself, the use of these fans high a cods. so these high cods are going to be used the while copy is like a fan id. you need them in order to get into the country and to get to games and they will search the said in the news conference that people are gonna bid out to have a ticket holders can have 3 members of friends and families come either the torment, providing they have this high caught anyway, the got mars about that he celsius cup taken place between the egyptian champions and the saudi arabian champions. and so they had another event last month at the stadium that was a smaller event, $20000.00 ticket holders. that was a catawba stores leak batch. so this is the 1st big match at the biggest stadium for the walk up the venue for the final. i said $80000.00 fans expected at the 1st game that out the woke up is going to be nino massey's argentina against saudi
1:18 pm
arabia site. so kind of giving up for that one ready. so yes, as i say tomorrow will be a. a power of a great opportunity to see how they're going to cope with the 80000 fans. come november and days. i don't live too far from there, so that should be quite interesting. well, come to 73 days way for exciting stuff. thank you for that diminish. now let's move on. tell the news. ukraine's 2nd largest city of col, cave husband hit i, missiles and asked strikes it comes as ukraine says, it's making advances in its counter offensive in the northeast and in the south. ukraine says it forces have repelled count attacks by russian units in col. keith of the taking back several villages near the town of barack leah, and taking full control of the city of izzy m. well, elliot the u. s. secretary of defense, lloyd austin,
1:19 pm
announced the latest american military aid package to ukraine, which is with some $675000000.00. full launch after our initial contact group meeting, the war is a another key moment. russian forces continue to clearly bombard ukrainian cities and civilians with muscles and artillery far but ukrainian forces are begun. mere kind of friendship for michelle, for your country. and they are integrating the capabilities that we all have provided to help themselves to fight and reclaim their sovereign territory. okay, we have 3 correspondence on this and we'll get more from austin's visit to germany with john hall, who's at the ramstein air base shortly. hold on, though hamid is starting by for us in mich. alive. as for us, go to gabriel alexander in key. gabriel. bring us up to date with a situation in khaki. well the car
1:20 pm
key for a counter offensive by the ukranian started about 36 to 48 hours ago. and it was a surprise offensive. important to point out that how to key the city 2nd largest city in ukraine has always been controlled by the ukrainians. however, the russians have been able to take much of the other part of the how to keep the region south and east of the regional capital. and from those positions the russians have been able to, with increasing intensity, show how to keep city itself over recent days and weeks. this is what the ukrainians are trying to to stop. and this is why they launched this counter offensive. it appears based on what we're hearing from ukraine in officers on the ground. and what we're hearing on social media platforms from video is being released by ukrainian officials that are on the front lines of this battle. the ukrainians are making headway and they have at least captured
1:21 pm
a couple of villages and now have encircled we believe the very strategically important city of ballad clear. why is this city important? it's only about 80 to 90 kilometers south east of how to keep city the russians have held it for a long time. now it's a strategically important and it's not a village if a city 25000 people pre war population and ukrainians on this surprise counter offensive have seem to in circle that city and are poised to retake it will be watching that very, very closely. even some pro russian onlookers blockers and analysts have been indicating on telegram and other social media accounts that the operation by the ukrainians. or i should say the defense by the russians in the how to keep region has not been going well. i should point out also we're just getting word in the last few minutes that on a separate note, that
1:22 pm
u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin has just arrived in the capital heath where we are now on a surprise visit here to show support and solidarity to the ukrainian government in of autumn years lensky and his counterparts. we hope to get more information on mat here. very soon. okay, thank you for that update. gabriel alexander there for us and keith les move farther south. the city of mich alive has also been a target of intense selling. it's close to the occupied southern region of cas song where ukrainian forces have also launched a counter attack. let's go to hold a dull mud hamid who is in mc alive for us. oh, do you? but i believe just recently arrived there. what is the situation? what certainly people are an edge here because as you mentioned, this city has been targeted over the past 6 months on
1:23 pm
a regular basis by the russians. but this city is also very important. actually, the whole region of lake alive is very important to keep safe as much as possible simply because at the moment while this counter offensive a bit further south from here in the southern region by the ukrainian forces is happening well. michel, life has become this sort of logistical and humanitarian hub, backbone for that operation. for the ukranian troops is the easiest way to reach her son. now that battle is ongoing. just a few months ago i was here was speaking to the ukrainian soldiers who are posted along that contact line in the border of the region. they were frustrated at the time that they were not getting enough of the western weaponry that has been pouring into this. gotcha. well, that has completely changed now. ukrainian force has a strong of the,
1:24 pm
a u. s. provided hymer high take more by artillery units, and with that they are able to strike at the rushes. now if you look at the rush and situation here, so it's not easy for them at this stage. if you recall at the beginning of the war, they had pushed easily from the from air crimea, and in sola, north east to harrison and had occupied that region in a matter of days quite safely. nothing really had happened. that situation now has change the ukrainians have actually destroyed 3 bridges that would link their rushes to the crimea peninsula. so very difficult to resupply the russian troops that are there at the moment. they have been able, with these hymer to hit strategic and targeted targets rather sorry, which are russian ammunition depos russian arsenal there. so the rushes are in a very difficult situation. another reason also then
1:25 pm
a difficult situation that for nikolai, which is higher than the ukrainians, can monitor any naval move went by the russians, should they want to come by see, to as fis on and can hit them. so this is a counter offensive that now has been going for several weeks. the ukrainians are saying very little about their gains. a in the area. we know that some of the regions have been the villages rather have been liberated, but they're still out of reach to the media at this stage. the ukrainians, wanting really at this moment to give as little information as possible, while they hope being able to really re take that her son region for the russians. it could be a huge loss since that is really the region that links for example, more you put an even further rush itself to the crimea peninsula. thank you for that. her a bell hamid there in mich alive. let's turn out to jonah hall who is live for us
1:26 pm
at the ramstein air base, which is in germany. and jonah said the u. s. secretary of defense, lloyd austin, in germany at the moment to also discuss the situation in ukraine. we heard from him in the last hour or so. what does he been saying? what a significant meeting this so secretary of defense, lloyd austin, as you say here, alongside the credit defense minister alexi, resume calls and ministers and defense officials from some 50 plus allies as well, including most the nato members of the participating countries. and this is the 5th meeting of the defense contact group set up by the americans here at ramstein back in april. and at each of these meetings, they sit down, they listen to ukraine, explaining the needs that they have on the battlefield and the allies, and talk about how they can meet those needs. this meeting will be no different in that sense. the americans have announced their latest tranche of military
1:27 pm
$89675000000.00 worth approved by president biden on wednesday. that'll be spent, he said on how it says other artillery systems, more of those high miles that was talking about their armored vehicles. humphreys and i munition amongst other things, and they'll be talk as well about meeting ukraine's wind to needs with the very punishing campaign to come over the winter months. but lloyd austin, signaling a change of focus, a change of direction for this contact group of allies with the recognition that there is no end in sight for this war. that this is going to be an extremely long campaign. he said the war is a key moment. once again, he noted those incremental games being made by ukraine in the south that gave talked about there in terms of its counter counter offensive using the weapon supplied by this group. he said as the face of the war changes. so is the mission of this contact group going to change to work together to meet ukraine's
1:28 pm
requirements for the long haul. and what he's talking about is the allies sitting down together and working out their own capability to produce and supply weapons to ukraine over the long haul and to scale up their own industrial base if necessary, in order to be able to do that. and the message very firmly behind all of this is that the allied effort, nato, and this contact group remains firmly behind ukraine and will remain so in the long term. okay, thank you for that jane hall there for us at the ramstein base in germany. ah, the pandemic climate change and the war in ukraine have been blamed for lowering life expectancy in living standards all around the world. the un development program says 9 out of 10 countries have been impacted lives of people in south sea
1:29 pm
. dawn shaw and j declined the most switzerland no way in iceland remained the talk countries with highest standards of living and life expectancies. as go to hip morgan who is in call to him for us hippa, these a new jed, todd, south dawn. these are countries that are your bread and butter, you travel to them all the time you report from them. what is it about these countries? do you think that is put them at the very bottom of the un human development index? well, if you look at the countries at the bottom of the list, there is one common factor and that is conflicts in addition to that, there's also the placement that has affected the development and those countries. now, the, the report mentions the impacts of corporate on the supply chain of those countries, both south for them and chad. our land love including major as well, landlord countries that have been affected by corbett, but they've also been affected by the war in ukraine and that has disrupted the
1:30 pm
supply chain. there is another factor that is common amongst those 3 countries that are on the bottom of the list. and that is the impact of climate change we've seen for them facing floods for 3 consecutive years. that has led to displacement of tens of thousands of people that has submerged dozens of villages in various states around the country. also in chad, we've seen a recent flooding leading to displacement of the civilian and the killing of dozens in the capital of other parts of the country. then there's the drought in the chair that has affected the livelihood of tens of thousands of people. so in addition to the impact of corporate on, on the supply chains and on investment and development in those countries, there's also the climate change that has led to a basically do that. those countries being on the bottom of the list which are going to the u. n development program is also affecting the mental well being of the people in those countries. ok, thank you for that. have a morgan that for us in cartoon. let's go to a recap, mcgee,
1:31 pm
or she is the assistant secretary general of the united nations development program . she joins us live from paris. thank you for your time. when you say a decline in human development, what exactly do you mean? so what we see is an unprecedented decline. i mean, now we talked about a number of african countries, but it's actually 9 out of 10 countries in the world that see reversal, which reports to what we call human development. and we are then looking at gross national income, the economies. but we are also looking at, as was mentioned, life expectancy, the quality of health systems, health services and education. it's, it's a wide range of issues that we're looking at with regards to what we will human development. and what struck me in your port is, this is actually the 1st time in history that we actually seeing a decline in human development off to years of progressive gains. i mean, the well does face challenges before. what is it about the challenges we have
1:32 pm
facing now? that is making us so much westoff. yeah, no, the world has definite this in set challenges before we have seen condemn mix. we have seen wars affecting more than one country, actually the entire world with what has happened now and what we are presenting in the report is an uncertainty complex. i mean, so many of these challenges happening at the same time. we saw a decline already because of the climate crisis, a head of the pandemic. we had the pandemic as such, of course, with its impact on health, but also wider impacts with regard to. so ship long situations in countries lingering on way beyond. you know, the condemning a such. and then of course, the ripple effect saw the russian invasion in ukraine, that is also affecting. so here is where we have concerns that it could be more difficult and we really need to double down the investments with regards to human development. if we are to support people, but also plan it gets back on track and move towards the sustainable development
1:33 pm
goals that would lead to have promised to deliver on until 2030 with any other countries. so any parts of the weld where the results of this report actually surprised deal worry do more than you thought. yeah, we saw a shock decline and of course, and always worries of that. we see many of the african countries as was mentioned on the bottom of the list, and we'd know that they have no physical space to actually ensure that they can move through crisis. this has been a major concern for you in the p as we have a company than the past years. but we also saw a sharp decline in latin america in the caribbean. countries said that our middle income countries, sometimes even upper income countries that have seen progress throughout the past decades and where the decline was very shocked. that of course, like in the caribbean economies, depending on terrorism and the impact that was unprecedented. so there really reasons as we're talking about 9 out of town countries across the world to see how
1:34 pm
we use our international financial institutions, the u. n. system entities like the you handed it to make sure that we can drive the right investment the right way. the years to come. thank you for joining us. eureka maria, assistant secretary general of the united nations development program, speaking to us there in paris, thank you for your time. thank you. i'll talk a sounds. prime minister says that the scale of destruction in his nation is unbelievable. and that parts of the country looked like the sea shout sharif has been visiting areas devastated by pakistan's worst floods on record. the human toll is staggering. more than 1500 people are dead. 33000000, that's 15 percent of the population have been affected. many of those who've survived have lost everything. one and a half 1000000 homes have been swept away along with nearly 6000 kilometers of
