6:02 pm
world cup finally takes off. ah for you, kay's prime minister list crosses tumultuous stay in office has ended after just 44 days following a series of dramatic policy, u turns and resignations by her cabinet. colleagues, she's resigned, making up the country's shore to serving prime minister. i came into office at the time of great economic and international instability. families and businesses were worried about how to pay their bills. putin's illegal war and ukraine threatens the security of our whole continent. and all countries have been held back for too long by low economic growth. i was elected by the conservative party with a mandate to change this. we delivered on energy bills and on cutting national insurance
6:03 pm
. and we set out a vision for a low tax. hi, great economy. the would take advantage of the freedoms of brax it. i recognized though, given the situation, i cannot deliver the mandate on which i was elected by the conservative party. i have therefore spoken to his majesty the king to notify him that i am resigning as leader of the conservative party. this morning. i matt the chairman of the 1922 committee sir graham brady. we've agreed that the will be a leadership election to be completed within the next week. this will ensure that we remain on a path to deliver our fiscal plans and maintain our country's economic stability and national security. i will remain as prime minister until a successor has been chosen. thank you. or we have 3 correspondence following this
6:04 pm
story. joan, how is in brussels? andrew simmons and charlie angela are in london. we go to charlie angela at westminster. now. so charlie, a lot of bumps along the list, cross roads from resignations to many budget for issues. was it finally, the position of m. p 's and her own party, the brought her down. what we knew this was gonna be a critical day for less trust after hey, off sick, 24 hours. and because this morning's headlines, add pitches of how on the front page saying after chaos broken, saying that she's being heckled by her. m. p. 's and accusing her of losing control of her party. but this is a woman who just yesterday was in parliament standing up saying on the quitter, i'm not a quitter, i'm a fight. so what happened when she went in to that 1922 committee meeting with the
6:05 pm
grey and brady must of been that she was showed some very hard. she's faced with some hard. she's told that she lost the mandate of her party because when she emerged and gave her resignation speech, there was no more fighting spirit. there was a very reluctant resignation, india, and in the last 24 hours, it has been a terrible time for this trust. we saw her the interior minister, who at abrahamson resign. many say that she was at she sacked after she broke the ministerial code and then a release, a stinging resignation letter accusing the government of not facing up to its manifesto pledges. we then so chaos in parliament scenes that many and peas either spoke and you said they've never seen anything like it before. when nps were told to vote against a fracking motion, they were told it was a vote of confidence in the government and they had to very long policy lines. scenes of pushing and shoving, as conservative. nps were man handled into the voting booth. a chief wit,
6:06 pm
who feeling undermined resigned then seemed to un resign an a prime minister at the time this trust scene pursuing the chief wit, 3 parliament, briefly losing her security detail trying to persuade her not to quit. those are not the kind of scenes that any government wants to see. that is what has brought us here a resignation off to just 6 weeks of being in government. and now a contest for new leda and new prime minister. i'm glad you mentioned that, charlie, you are going to thank you and take that point on woods to andrew simmons. he joins us now from downing street. andrew, 1st of all, explain to international view is how exactly the u. k. now gets a new prime minister. what is the process? well, the process starts with the 1922 committee, which is the back benchers committee. it's the committee that does all the asti stuff gets rid of people elect people or does the engineering and maneuvers things
6:07 pm
in this situation. now they want to try and make, make it a very quick process. in fact, one week graham brady, the chair of the committee, says he wants that done and he wants a new prime minister in place by next over the weekend. ready for monday on that sir? the 31st of october. so what is going to happen is they'll be a push this next few days to get the candidates together. he's hoping that will only be 2 candidates at the end of it. and then they'll be put to the whole 160000 membership of the conservative party and get a quick result from them one or the other. that it basically is a confirmation process. how exactly that will go, i'm not sure. but there is going to be perhaps a little change of the rules there. so he says, you might find there's only one candidate which has to be confirmed by the membership as
6:08 pm
a whole. so the mechanics of this have to be quick because stability is the key issue, because that was the, the, the stability affected the markets, the markets crashed. remember, didn't take, isn't long ago since all this happened. it's only 6 days when we saw all of those changes and the markets were calmed a lot of people took their eye off. the political picture was chaotic with a prime minister at lame duck prime minister here in downing street, a chancellor finance minister in place who basically took everything over. jeremy hunt was more or less acting prime minister in all but nate, andrew, are there any signals indicating who's now likely to be in the running well, there you go. there's no really, any new names from the, the last round. a richie sooner. who was the choice of the parliamentary party, the m p 's here, shoes. i chose him, they voted for him,
6:09 pm
richie soon i was the victor there, but them when at the that the shortness was put to the country. we had a position whereby richey soon, i just started falling further and further behind as list trust kept on promising tax cuts, promising. all sorts of things. fantasy economics is the way she, she, it was described not just by, by hook her actual competitor, but also by other members of the party. so she basically came in on that mandate at that mandate, which was to cut taxes, move forward and in a direction in trying to grow the economy, the, that the city hated it. and what do we find ourselves with? but a chancellor, a new chancellor going in because she sat her chancellor and therefore we had jeremy hunt more or less saying calling the shots and getting things straight and getting things back on track with the city. but as i said earlier, all the time things were getting worse and worse because less trust had lost her mandate. not to day bout. it was actually 3 maybe 4 days ago that she lost the
6:10 pm
mandate effectively. so she was here basically the shadow of the chancellor trying to get back some credence with her a performance of the house of commons on wednesday when she use that term, which always be remembered because it said she was not acquits us. she was a fighter. within 24 hours, she had to quit. there was no way round it. so basically the conservative party hasn't just got to find a new prime minister. it has to actually prove that it, it can govern the country. let's get to the, the other names now. penny mordant, she was in the she was in the, in the race during the summer to try to get the leadership. she's a leader of the commons, benway, this defense minister, safe pair of hands. a possibility. although he's indicated he doesn't really want us to stand and then wait for it, boris johnson. yes, the man could be back and it's not. it's not a joke. it's a serious, serious,
6:11 pm
a bid for taking over in as his friends describe the national interest. jeremy hunt safe pair of hands not very popular in the party has had 2 attempts at getting leadership of the party and failed. he's not interested, he says, no, no last that's not for me. he wants to just finish the job of getting the economy back on track. will the economy ever get back on track in the next few years? that's a question. a massive question. labor obviously pushing, pushing, pushing. they've not been in such good position for 25 years if the was an election . they've when hands down. incredible stuff going on. thanks so much. andrew simmons there on john hall is live for us in brussels. jonah, how warring is all of the antics in british politics. busy for you leaders i don't for worrying is the would anybody would apply here. you leaders arriving in
6:12 pm
the last hour and a half for their shed. your leaders, summit of exactly clamoring to take on board will comment on events in westminster, keen rather distress. why they're here, which is to talk about energy and energy price caps and of course, support the war for ukraine. it's will with russia. i'm surprising when you consider that it's been 6 years now since britain had a fully fledged seat at the table. breakfast is no longer a live issue for leaders in europe. the country has been consigned very much to the country status, which is not to suggest their entirely ambivalent. of course, they aren't to distrust was something of an antagonistic figure before she became prime minister. she as foreign secretary, also the piece of legislation that if britain chooses to use it will allow it to unilaterally overturn its obligations under the directed negotiation in terms of northern ireland and checks on goods flowing between great britain and northern ireland. that could spock trade war, britain is still a very valuable trade partner to the will be
6:13 pm
a trade revenues away down and what they were at prior to breaks it. and of course, britain is a nato ally, working very closely with many of the nations here in terms of ukraine. so they will be looking very closely at who succeeds lease trust they mind very much about that. even if they don't necessarily mind, particularly that she's going to give you a flavor of a couple of the comments that have been made most didn't comment. in fact, the manual macro and the french president said on a personal level, i'm always sad to see a colleague go. it's important. the britain france finds stability as soon as possible. and me whole martin, the irish t shock said at a personal level, i sympathize with her. i think it's a very difficult time as you can you guys close his neighbor. we wish that he come soon given the current contract, similar wording similar sentiments. it's almost as if they discussed their responses in advance. bye. thanks so much, jonah, how on catalog has already on has this report on the list. ross's turbulent 45
6:14 pm
days in office from victory to defeat. within weeks, i am resigning as leader of the conservative party list trances leadership has been short, but not uneventful. just 2 days after becoming prime minister, the death of queen elizabeth the 2nd was announced. politics ground to a halt. as the u. k. observe the morning period for britain's longest serving monarch, but it was her promise of sweeping tax cuts a pledge that one her the leadership race that cast out on the direction she was taking. how they would be funded, remained unclear. we are coupling stamford. that uncertainty sent the markets into mill down while millions vase, the cost of living crisis, the pound plunge to a 37 year low, and the bank of england intervened to protect pensions. yet trust insisted that was the white horse. well mister speaker, what we have done is we have criticism followed the honeymoon
6:15 pm
period was over. great pleasure upon her fateful, you'd turn her chancellor in close alley. at the time, quasi porting was sent. a familiar face former for his secretary jeremy hunt, replaced him, and a hasty reversal began. it is clear that parts of our mini budget went farther and faster the markets were expecting. so the way we are delivering our mission right now has to change. but it did little to ease fears, disapproval of her handling of the economy continued even from steadfast allies. i disapprove policy. as of britain, in the end, the fall out from her 1st major political announcement proved to damaging for her and her party to your energy freeze, golf ha, tax free shopping doors, economy, credibility, ah less 2nd cabinet minister quit hours later. conservative m. p is alleged,
6:16 pm
they were bullied into backing truss. voters. lost confidence already contending with the economic repercussions in terms of a, i sort of legacy of, of trust ism it's, it's perhaps the, the end of, of, of cake is in the end of you can have your cake and eat at the end of that kind of fantasy politics are returned to with her with her removal. i returned to of the real world where policy has to be made in a, a globalized economy. a lesson for the next leader, whose primary job will be to restore stability and confidence in the u. k. thank you. party, a little bit of a young al jazeera now we have guess representing all the main sides of british politics. claire piersal, former advisor to a conservative m p, and dennis mac shane, a member of the labor party. if i could start 1st of all with claire, so claire,
6:17 pm
i guess the question many must be thinking out, can that conservatives produce stable leadership in another selection process? i think it is absolutely imperative that the conservative policy comes together behind a candidate that is going to unite the policy and therefore help the coming thing they will work out. i mean, this is, this is the real problem is that we are looking for a unity candidate in a policy where there is no unity. so it is incredibly difficult to coalesce around one particular pass that the name's been mentioned before. your previous guests have said people like ben wallace now he would be very good, but i understand he's doesn't really want to do the job. he would be a great cast, a penny most and also would probably be able to. ready look off the old wings of the conservative policy and bring that a contract. we've seen what she's capable of during the leadership election,
6:18 pm
but it really is now down to the last wire for the conservative policy to produce this cancelled it. we have a week now to get a new prime minister in place before the country really does tell us that they've had enough. what do you think dentist let me bring denison? what do you think? one week down to the why, claire says, can they pull it off? i have no idea. i've been pulse 6050 years, have been m p a minister candidate. i've written books. i don't know any episode, breach parliament history, which is so shameful. britain is the laughing stock of the world over the antiques now of the conservative party. it's the bread. the big decision was taken in 2016 to vote to rupture rollings with europe, breaks it a swallow davy cameron swallow. theresa may swallow bars. johnson swallowed his trust and it will swallow the next prime minister who ever it is. they all come in
6:19 pm
say, we're going to unite the party. will return to sal principals or they can't, they don't. because is the party that for, from the last 7 or 8 years is utterly lost, its way and good luck to them. are there any friends of mine? but frankly, it's time really, i think for change. claire, what are the chances of this going to a new election before 2025. i think that is a distinct possibility because whoever comes in doesn't have this monday that everybody is expecting a prime minister to have. they all going to be elected on the manifest day that they stood upon. it brings into consideration, all of those promises made by forest johnson wish a he is now departed. so you are looking for somebody that can carry that forward. but i, i really do think that we are looking at an,
6:20 pm
a general election next year. but i did, i did take her, she slightly with what dentist the saying and he's eating very wise. but it really now does need to take a step back in everybody's minds. it is happened, we have got to move forward from this and i really don't like the arguments coming up. this is a takeover by remaining in bread. it is a will of the fault, burkes, it has happened, the british people voted for it. we have to carry out their wishes. so we have to move forward and i just feel so strongly that we shouldn't be using it now as an excuse to not get this country me thing. dennis isn't the truth, no matter who comes whatever job they do. labor having such a good position. impulse has every motive and incentive now to simply keep trying to undermine the government and push for early elections right now. well, the duty of her majesty's opposition is to oppose sets a very stout constitutional principle, according to the latest opinion,
6:21 pm
poor. if there was an election to borrow, there'll be $31.00 tory m p's returned. so naturally i'd stand clara, everybody all say we don't want a general election now and nobody can force it, it's up to them. but the point is today the, it was a doubts. a trade with ireland has dropped 30 percent because of brakes. it b a w is transferring its flagship, biddy electric, the electric biddy from britain to china. every single index shows a breaking trade in cultural and social and personal needs with europe has turned out to be a wrong decision. a bit like prohibition in america or in the time. and frankly, if we don't look at that when it's a tori, sure baited denial of the economic damage done to britain by breaks in that they're going to have a very hard time. none of the candidates mentioned i could run through the purchase value. some friends of mine are a buy view people statesboro leaders,
6:22 pm
people of the quality of margaret thatcher or tony blair, or whoever who could bring the country together. so we should serve as well. i bumped into actually claire tore whip the soft, you know, freddy said, dennis, what are you doing in october? i said, would october. so would i mean october 20? $23.00? we think it could be your turn to be the prime minister. i went tore whips. are taking them by cool like that. you know, it's a party lead of a bit of a brake boy. claire, what has this whole fiasco surrounding less trust? done to british politics? it's reshape certain things, looking very better within the conservative camp is then they've gone from the party known for fiscal responsibility to those being ridiculed by the live dems as the borrow and spend party obsolete. the damage is enormous to the conservative party as a whole, and as you say, we were the fiscally responsible party for decades,
6:23 pm
and that is now just been lost. so all of the work that we had done, especially in the last decade, has just almost been ripped up in front of us. i think it is going to take a long time to come back, but the trusting british policy is now in all time low. and the general public, just taking the view that all politicians are bad, all politicians are in it for themselves and they're not interested in what's going on in british people's lies. and i think that is incredibly sad. there is such a toxic arguments around politics at the moment. every issue now is so divisive, and we lose that ability to be able to debate things as you can see, a dentist and i can have that debate with each other. we're not going to counter blows over it, which is what is happening elsewhere. and it is a very, very sad state of affairs. and the democracy in the united kingdom is sacrosanct and it is just being shot to pieces. i'm pretty sure you're not going to come to
6:24 pm
blows, even though we've got you in separate boxes on the screen. but then this isn't the truth, although labor is, is leading as, as clare points up. the big picture is, it's not really a time to be celebrating a lead. if people are losing trust in all politicians. i'm not entirely sure about that. certainly labor lost the trust of the british public when after breaks it, like the tories imposed johnson a man who is a, an inveterate liar. not my words, the words of the french, a bastard britain at the time. and we know that we all knew that, and the tories kicked him out because of his incapacity of telling the truth. and on our side we gave them jeremy corbin not once but twice as a possible prime minister of the people. quite rightly in my view, i am a labour person rejected him. he was ridiculous to suggest he should be prime minister was ridiculous. jasper's johnson, this truss should be prime minister. i think i think labored as got
6:25 pm
a very cob guy is actually very conservative, very cautious. he's the least left wing person ever go to the labor party about corsica, starbucks, and i think he could have recovered look, every government in europe is facing huge problems. the air of cheap by the cheap energy cheap travel, cheap labor, cheap holidays. cheap housing is over inflated over 10 percent war in ukraine. electricity prices, people, we got a, would it heat choose between he to get eating $40000000.00 people living under the poverty level. so last 10 years have been that great though, those are problems we all have to face. and just generally we all knew at the end of that i did seventy's. the country was going to go conservative out to mrs. sachi cuz it needed a change. and i think dow, after the last few years of bars, shots, jeremy call, big trees list truss. the country needs to change, and i don't think the same people who said this trust was wonderful. so people said
6:26 pm
boys, johnson is the best thing since sliced bread shape him, said theresa may 1 of the greatest provinces we could have. and if they offer themselves thou to be the, the 5th failure as a prime minister, who good luck to them. the decent people, our bishop is at honorable thing, but it's not going to work. or i a very quick brief on claire. not a difficult process or just put your hand on the crystal ball. who do you think it's going to be? i think we're going to see petty morden, sad take a the leadership have become prime minister. ok. all right. what would a brief one, what would that mean? do you think dennis? very briefly 30 more. and so the biggest lie during the breaks the campaign, she said the turkey was poised to be a european union, and no one could stop 80000000000 turks arriving in the u. k. right. everybody said it was a lie, the private yesterday the car got it was a lie. she maintained it. if you live with a lie,
6:27 pm
that it politics you don't succeed with lies. i'm not sure politicians don't tell lies, but let's thank both of our cats for her and put on the show. thank you both. claire and dentist there. ah, a general strike is taking place across the occupied west bank following the death of a palestinian man. israel says killed one of its soldiers are they to me, me lived in the sheriff art refugee camp where demonstrations are being held outside. his home protests are also being held in several other cities in the west bank. israeli forces had been searching for timmy and more for more than the week. they blockaded the refugee camp in an attempt to find him. what happened is, after days of looking for day tammy, by the israeli forces, he showed up, but this time he was committing another gun attack. he was killed in a shootout,
6:28 pm
and valve phineas, after seeing the video of, are they to mean shooting until what they say is the last breath. they've been hailing him as a hero, and they've called for a strike to day to mourn his death. many palestinians see that the fact that he was able to escape for that long and manage to do another attack shows the resilience of palestinian the young men. this is a language that we've been hearing over the past few months from several people in the occupied to a bank in several places, saying that this will only understand the language of force. this is why we've seen a lot of them conduct shooting attacks and go to confrontation points with these really forces. now another palestinian, a 16 year old. his name is mohammed, naughty. his funeral is taking place right now, and he has come to his room this morning after being shot at by israeli forces on the 30th of september, he was participating in a protest that was called for after
6:29 pm
a 7 year old palestinian named that i am slay man was he died and his family says he was scared to death because he was being chased by israeli forces. so as you can see, those funerals are usually essential point. they lead to more attention. so they show in a way, is that what israel says is that what does it work with city and with force will work with more force doesn't really hold true when it comes to the palestinians. because the more funerals we see, the more attention escalates. and as you see today, there is a strike to mark and to show the level of tension in the west bank. we'll fill ahead an al jazeera ukrainians, tall to charge for appliances as russian missiles, rain down on power plants causing electricity cuts cutter amongst one month ago until it's 1st world comp. when live on dollhouse waterfront. ah
6:30 pm
frank assessments, if the united states surely felt that you're running a good program was there to build a nuclear weapon, they would find the deal by informed opinions. i believe that armenia agenda should have bilateral negotiations. we've been holding that for many times. critical living is the commonwealth now still something that king. we'll take in depth analysis of the data global headlines inside story on al jazeera. ah ah, with
6:31 pm
with oh, how come are you watching al jazeera time to recap our headlines now. britain's prime minister lives truss has resigned. she'd come under pressure from within and outside her party during her 6 weeks on the job. you turns on policies cabinet ministers quitting and the chaotic parliamentary vote made her position unattainable. now the race to elect the new leader of the conservative party begins re she's slack. who was runner up to cross is the favorite to replace her. also in the running is penny morgan and former prime minister,

forrest johnson. a general strike is being held across the occupied west bank after the death of palestinian man. israel says he killed one of its soldiers. protests is on demanding israeli authorities returned the body of our day to me to his family. russia says its forces are continuing to target ukrainian military and energy infrastructure. the defense ministry says it's using high precision, long range and based weapons, several ukrainian cities, including the capital key of being hit. this week, ukraine's president says via tax destroyed a 3rd of power facilities and for the government to impose electricity costs. i'm a jump, june has more from cave. this is a very significant announcement by government officials to day when it comes to the restriction of electricity going forward. let me 1st tell you a little bit more of what we heard from ukranian president below de mer zalinski and his nightly address. last night. he said that we are preparing for all kinds of
6:33 pm
scenarios in view of the winter season. he went on to say, we do not exclude that with the onset of the cold weather. we will be asking for your help even more frequently, really underscoring the concern of officials here over the course of the past couple of weeks since so much energy infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed by oncoming russian missiles or these drones that were attacking in the last few days that these nationwide restrictions have been put in place since rushes invasion in february, the power supply is to be restricted between 7 am and 11 pm daily. there may be temporary blackouts if people don't comply with these restrictions and don't try to conserve on there to conserve energy consumption. everybody we've been speaking with in the neighborhoods that have been impacted by power outages after either missile strikes or drones strikes these past few days. have told us that they are worried that it is going to get worse than that. they are preparing themselves as
6:34 pm
best they can. we have also spoken to residents in other parts of the country in which they said they don't think the government has done enough to prepare the cities and to prepare the citizens and that more infrastructure needs to be protected. and the more measures need to be put in place so that if there are more power outages, residents have access to heated areas and they have access to energy going forward . 3 afghan women who were arrested in february for taking part in protests against the taliban. say they've been told truth while in custody. the women say they experience multiple physical and psychological abuses, including death threats and beatings since seizing power in august last year, the taliban rolled back women's rights. the group band girls from attending secondary school, restricted women's freedom of movement and ordered them to cover their faces in public. well, the decrees sponsor unprecedented wave of protest in afghanistan and fierce

a 1000000 football fans. while behind me, hey, you can make out the faithful fan festival. that's where up to 40000 supports is can watch matches on big screens and, and in this direction, the main road along the sea front will be close to traffic from november, the 1st making way for what's been called a global st. carnival that can entertain up the 70000 people at any one time. all late stadiums are less than 40 kilometers away from the center of dough hall. never before will so many wilka fans be in such close proximity. what is the logistical challenge of making sure fans on much days are safely and swiftly moved around the country? you mentioned the challenges of the compact nature. i think again it's, it's more of the opportunity with the transport network that we have in katara, especially the public transport. and you know, i used the metro going to many matches during the arrow cup for example. and it's incredibly convenient. people come to the world cup to have
6:41 pm
a great experience. they come to meet different people from different countries. so i think that it's organic, it's natural, it just happens. so you have, you know, everybody from saudi arabia all the way down to morocco. i think mingle linger and cut are in to has a diverse city in and of itself. catalyst national team of been in a 6 month training camp ahead of their wilcox w. a buildup, designed to overcome the sporting outs statistically. ah, the chance of cut are beating the netherlands in a world cup are very small. hopefully, we can get a little bit of that togetherness, that creates a mindset on his spirit and a collective believe that the team is going to go out there and fight with everything they have. cats are, will kicked the world cup off against ecuador at our bait stadium. the team and the country insist they're ready to put on a world class. performance can, can pull off a big upset and get through that group. let's talk now to my food. i'm our, he's associate professor in sports management that cats hall university. thank you
6:42 pm
so much for taking some time out with us tonight. what you make of this 6 month training template cats are going through and i think it's important for the car, probably emotional team now about in good physical shape to maybe text up back a little bit and then concentrate on really focus on the event itself. but which is happening, it's really know that have been going through a number of trusts before. of course, the pinnacle the, the, you know, the kind of the, the highest performance was the asian 2019. so they have to remember all those positive moments and then work on the dynamic of the group. i can go what, what's is doing to make the difference is the model and all they have to, to work on the mantel and, and constantly date the group to, to be really, you know, for the, for the, for the tournaments. so it's which is happening to our knowledge in 30 days. so i think 29 thing they showed that mental resilience, then they winning that to them. it's in the u. a. how do you think that react to playing in a home world cup pack stadiums, a lot of expectation is
6:43 pm
a lot of expectation. some for those you know players have been playing together for certain time. now. i'll think it's a dream comes true enough for them to play at home, the highest stage or bullying, you know, and of course this will boost in all their comfort zones and put them in a completely different state of mind in terms of thought. you know, of course, trying to do the best, you know, in terms of representing the nation or the whole presenting the friends in their families. there will be playing in the home and they have to have a better advantage on all over other teams because they have been testing and all the new facilities. so maybe a little bit more familiar with it. i think this will based on the, to the bands on the 1st game. so maybe they are calculating a little bit how they can manage their and their performance in terms of between the 1st marginal. there's a high expectation, but they will do, you know,
6:44 pm
at least try to draw when the 1st game, but the waiting as well for the other game between shinagle on the balance. and yeah, it's just a matter of playing every game and then trying to get the bus from each game and why not to go through that. but the 2nd stage for all the players give us an idea as to what it will mean. having this world cup held in november rolls and in june and josh, we normally have, i think that's also interesting. you know, this is going to be the 1st worth call. well happening in november, december. so most of the national teams, hopefully that would be coming in better shape. physically them a tire. they haven't been going, you know, been playing a number of competitions. usually with the previous editions you had like, you know, the far players are playing already 70 games or more maybe coming here with only short break coming for the work about for this farm. the it's happening just me. she's even, you know, even before that earlier. so before the break, the winter break though, the weather will be fantastic. you know, that would be in better shape. so the idea is to how to keep, you know, you know,
6:45 pm
from any injuries that may happen. and i'll just before the word copy and i think we'll be i'll ex petition about, we're going to see more goals and more performance. and that will be a high number of goals. and the 1st stage, logos, a lot, the son of that my food tomorrow from castle university. thank you so much for your time. thank you for having. we've had an unprecedented 12 year build up to this well cup. it's meant it's been scrutinized like no other tournaments and the rights and the welfare, the workers who made it all possible, quite rightly has been in the spotlight from day one. and it's a story we've covered from every perspective. hey, on al jazeera, early this week, santa maria sat down with the ceo of castles organizing committee, nasa l, capital. i begun by asking him if bringing the world cup to this country have help speed up the reform process. if we go back to 2009, when we bid for the world cup, you will see that our bid contains a lot about social change and contained a lot about human capital. and we took that from the national vision that was
6:46 pm
issued in 2008. and that really focused on improving the standards for workers here. and i thought that related also to the workplace in general, to improve the environment that the workplace, when we speak about workers, it was to improve their living standards to make sure that their rights were upheld . and i think we've gone over and above what was envisage to happen in a span of 10 years. i don't think any country can claim to have done as much as scott has done in the past 10 years to improve the working conditions, living standards, the introduction of minimum wage to make sure that there's workers forums where they can voice their concerns and their complaints in a safe and anonymous way and these are all reforms that we feel proud of, that has been a trailblazer in the region and has been recognized by international organizations that we work with, that the government works with such as the low and so forth. so do you still think
6:47 pm
criticisms out katara is facing regarding this issue is unfair. i believe a lot of the criticism is unjust. i feel like, you know, people have used this as a way just to be able to bring cups out into disrepute. and i think it's just been an easy way for, for journalists using very lazy journalism to be able to find a way to criticize, to criticize the world cup here. you know, but it's something that we, we have worked harder because of we've, it's, it's fueled our confidence and you know, all we have to do right now is just to show the world what an amazing world cup this will be. nasa, what's your message for the fans who are still they're still debating whether they're coming to the country or not. my message to the fences. you're welcome. here we are inviting all the funds to come and attend the world cup to enjoy the
6:48 pm
world cup to enjoy amazing weather. enjoy amazing beaches. got that as a safe as country in the middle east. one of the top countries in the world in terms of safety, others welcoming and hospitable country. and we promised that it'll be an exciting and enjoyable world cup. and everybody's welcome. we've always said we extend our arms and welcoming people to our home. and we look forward to hosting them here and i think there's, there's nothing that funds should be worried about. we encourage them if they haven't got their tickets yet, they should visit the fee for ticketing website. they're still tickets that are going to be put onto the website, look their flights book their accommodation and come and enjoy an amazing world cup and your message to the l g b t community who still have concerns about coming to the car. and i extend the welcome of the people to everybody that wants to come and enjoy the world cup. and there's again, i reiterate the message of being a safe country,
6:49 pm
a hospitable country. and i am confident that anybody that comes about that is going to feel welcome and, and, and safe. well, how are those funds going to get to, can, you could, i suppose arrive on a traditional daryl boats here at the hall port. perhaps a little bit unlikely. you're most likely to arrive at how much international airport. it's an pull that a lot of people do have some experience, but normally using it as a transit points on a catera ways, flights with another destination. but the pools in the country is now having to get used to be there being a point of entry to thousands of people every day. hey, i saw my bon jovi with this report. it's already been voted the best airport in the world for 2022. now how much international airport is about to face its biggest test? over $1200000.00 people are expected to visit during the world. cup majority of them will arrive in the country. it's like how you says it's ready. we have very
6:50 pm
aggressive training program and, but it's important for you to know that we had in the forefront of giving the standard of service that we provide with the highest trained individuals within the month of november. and december operator really says it will operate 13000 flights and the airline says it's changing its operating model from one focused on transit passengers to one focused on people who are getting to stay for the coffee as an airline, we already as an airport, we already we have 2 efforts, we have activated both the inputs. we have already tested the 2nd effort. we are ready. i am super excited. this is something that will only happen once in our lifetimes. and once in history, that the tournament displayed the entire tournament in one city in
6:51 pm
a small country like but the 1st woke up in the middle east. the 1st being hosted by a muslim country. and the jury is still out whether it is going to be the 1st goblin neutral cup, as hundreds of flights are going to be bringing thousands of people in every day. and organizers are excited that it is happening in the region which is being mobbed by divisions. we're sports diplomacy is going to help bring people together will the will be more than 9, see so called fun activations around the country during a well cut to keep people and sit st around me. here you have the museum of his lamar thoughts. this the suit which is the traditional markets which people can visit, but also be things like music and beach festivals as well as a winter wonderland for people to exclude. but it's hearts that the cultural side of cats are wont be ignored by football fans. is johnny kaiser oscar to tell us a little bit more about that? well, as the sun sets wait a month to go to the fee for a while, come here in castle, we come to your katara hills. a place where fans
