here for millions of years, decades of talk, but little action is all about, distract, create confusion to crate, smoke and mirrors. the shocking truth about how the climate debate has been systematically supported. the oil industry was a main bank roller or opposition to climate action. the campaign against the climate. do you think that's a bad thing more to, to a did with thing? absolutely. on on jesus is the story being spot sanity where being sold the notion that we can offset all the carbon we generate those carbon offsetting actually work. what is being done isn't worth sitting in the profit is net 0 just to catch raise. net 0 missions that's there. i need you to a climate controlled poly re examines the myths and allusions in the struggle against climate breakdown. all hailed the planet episode won on al jazeera. ah,

this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm robot this, and this is the news, or live from doha. come here for the next 60 minutes. polls have opened in the eastern united states for midterm elections that will shape the nation's policy for the next 2 years. mornings of desperate conditions for hundreds of migrants stuck on rescue ships after italy prevent them from disembark. plus, i'm malcolm web at a camp for displaced people near coma in the democratic republic of congo. tens of thousands of people have arrived here in the last week or so, playing violence. fighting between the n 23 rebel group and government forces and risking their lives to report the truth. how mexico became one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists. and we continue our count down to cast our 20 dc with brazil and naming nascar. plus, we see

a gas by looking at whales make an impact. i left fastball comp since 1958 ah, just up to 1300 g m t. that's 8 am in the eastern united states where poles have opened in the crucial mid term elections. a sluggish economy, abortion rights, and democratic integrity of been some of the main campaign issues going into tuesday's vote. the result is going to define the last 2 years of president jo biden's term. and if republicans take control of both the house and the senate, it could derail his legislative agenda. the balance of power and congress is likely to come down to battleground, states like nevada, wisconsin, georgia, and pennsylvania. and we've got reporters across the united states to cover the vote. kimberly hawk it is going to be at the white house. gabriel elizondo is in

pittsburgh, pennsylvania, and john henderson is in atlanta, georgia. those states are shipping up to be 2 of the tightest races in the country 1st. so vanya has more on what's at stake, and how it all works. they're called mid terms, because they come right in the middle of the president's 4 year term. here's what's at stake, all 435 seats in the house of representatives where the democrats currently hold only a tiny 8 seat majority. and $35.00 of the senate's $100.00 seats are right now the senate is evenly divided. so that means a change of control in just one seat could put the republicans in charge with all that voting across the country. the election really comes down to only a few battleground states, only 10 of those 35 senate races or really competitive in the house. it's about 50 out of $435.00. a joe biden is not on any of these ballots yet. mid terms are traditionally seen as a test of the president strength. if his democratic party does poorly,

than it could make it almost impossible for biden to get anything done over the next 2 years. also, congress isn't the only thing. americans are voting on. $36.00 of the 50 us states are also electing governors. that list includes places like florida, like georgia, wisconsin, pennsylvania, arizona, and nevada, michigan, all of which will be important battle grounds in the next presidential election in 2024. and 27 states are electing their secretary of state. usually when we say that, i know we mean america's top diplomat, but not here at the state level, it means a completely different thing. it refers to the official who overseas administrative services, like professional licensing or registering corporations. and crucially, in most states, the secretary of state is also in charge of elections. and that is suddenly more important than ever because of the elephant in the room. donald trump,

more than $300.00 republicans were on the ballot at every level. this mid term falsely believed that the 2020 presidential election was flawed, or they have repeated trumps claim without evidence that the election was stolen from him. bottom line, people who reject america's last presidential election could end up in charge of running the next one. the 2 years after voters gave joe biden, a chance and ousted trump, the election itself now appears to be on the ballot. and you could argue so as the future of democracy in america. okay, let's speak to our white house correspondent, kimberly hawker. how bad does it look for joe biden, on the democrats? well, according to most polls, it is not looking good for the president's democratic party in these mid term congressional elections. and that's why we've seen the president on twitter in the last hour, making a final appeal to americans to get out and vote. he says it's election day in america make your voice heard today. vote, you know,

the president is always an optimist. but even as he was returning to the white house after campaigning, late last evening here in washington, he was asked by reporters how he felt about his parties chances. and he acknowledged that it was going to be tough to capture the house and keep control of the house. something that his parties enjoyed for the last 2 years. that's a pretty rare acknowledgment from a president who is always optimistic. the president's got a lot riding on this vote. this is really a referendum of the last 2 years of his presidency. it's his legacy at stake. and right now, his approval rating is hovering in the low 40 percent, his disapproval rating is above 50 percent. and historically, when the president has a disapproval rating of above 50 percent, their party does not usually hang on to the house in mid term congressional elections. and of course, everybody's going to be waiting for the results. but if we get any idea when the final results is actually going to be in well i,

what we've already been hearing is that this is especially if it is a close race. and we expect that in some battleground states, particularly when it comes to some of the governors races, because there are a lot of governors races that are taking place as well. we could see some legal challenges that could go on for days, weeks, in some cases, even months. i in fact, leaving up to today, there of already been more than a 100 lawsuits, filed a protesting or contesting some of the procedures that have been taking place in various jurisdictions, particularly when it comes to mail in validating a what we do know is that we expect coming out of this evening, that it's very likely that republicans will have a strong lead. but if this is a close re says we expect it will be a, what we can see is some of that lead shrinking. if some of these ballads are counted, particularly those male and ballads,

and that's where the whole issue of election credibility comes in. and the case of election denying comes in. and this is where a lot of the hard feelings come in. so this is a problem moving forward, a lot of americans really have little space left in their election process. this is where some of the deep divisions come in with partisan politics. it could be a very rocky. 2 road ahead. kennedy for now. thank you very much indeed. kimberly how good of the white house we're going to go to gabriel alexander in pennsburg, pennsylvania. now, we described this before as one of the key states in this election to pose of already be open for about an hour and i must on we've already got some controversy over the vote. turn team. yeah, we do. we're outside a polling place here in pittsburgh. we've seen a slow and steady stream of people coming in to cast their ballots. little slow right now, but don't let that to fool you. there's expected to be 6 about $6000000.00 people

that cast a ballot, initial critical election pennsylvanian. as you mentioned, we still, we already do have a little bit of controversy already. a john fetter men, the democrat that's running for the key senate seat here. his campaign has filed a lawsuit already over night, asking that federal authorities over rule a state court that said that mail in ballots, that were not dated. i get thrown out. the rules indicate that anyone that met me sends in a mail and ballad. there's about 1100000. busy pennsylvania's if done that need to date that envelope and there are several 1000 that were not dated, not filled out correctly. and a state court. busy it said those must be thrown out. the democrats are saying, no, they should not be thrown out. those should still be counted. democrats considered as a critical issue because it's believed that about 70 to 75 percent of these ballots are from democrats. it would hurt democrats if they're thrown out. so we'll have to

watch that closely to see how this federal judge might rule on this. it decision could come down as early as to day, but it's clear that this could be a very long night in pennsylvania. a lot of officials saying that the vote counting will go in, go on through tuesday evening, perhaps in a wednesday, maybe even thursday. now, what a voters here in pennsylvania say there is our top issue as they go to the polls. well, it's abortion, it's the economy, it's border issues. but as we found out when we spoke to some voters here, there's something else that's top of mind as well. many voters say the economy and high gas prices are top issues in the selection. but for karen and saloon attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election means for her. this mid term election is about whether or not democracy survives in america. democracy is now definitely on the ballot not to know really matters. the economy won't

matter if the price of gas won't matter if we don't have our representative, legal, government, and power, nothing else will matter. except democracy accept democracy if you think it's under threat. absolutely. many voters told us defending democracy was top of their list of issues. they're voting for on tuesday. but why now? it all stems from january 6th, 2021. that's when supporters of donald trump stormed the u. s. capital to try to prevent congress from certifying the election results. since then, trump has repeatedly said falsely that it was a re election, but those false claims of a stolen election have spread far and wide to republican candidates running. and these mid term elections and voters here in pennsylvania don't need to look too far to see it for themselves. meet doug master yano. he was among the trump supporters

who stormed the capital grounds on january 6th. while he didn't go inside the capital itself and hasn't been charged with a crime, he has become a central figure in supporting trumps efforts to overturn the 2020 election. now he's on the ballot tuesday running for governor in pennsylvania. and political scientists say candidates like him are the reason why many voters say democracy is top of mind. they're going to the polls to fight for our system of government. they are fight going to a lie care. that's who respect the integrity of elections. who believe that when the people speak and elections that those votes should be honored? those vote should be followed. they should not be thrown out by elected officials or, or candidates who have said the outcome. it's i think that's what's on a lot of voters minds when they say, democrats hoping that will be all it takes to win enough races to keep control of

congress. gabriel's hondo algiers eda, pittsburgh. okay, we're going to speak to john hendrick, his live person, atlanta, georgia, john, one of those states, again, which is going to be absolutely key in these elections. how close is the senate race there? and why is it so important? well wrap the poles are open, the candidates have made their final arguments and the sticks couldn't be higher. here. we have already had more people vote this time around 20 percent more than voted in the last mid terms. so there's high voter interest and for good reason because as you point out, it is a very close race. all polls seem to show these guys, neck and neck, and ga could really decide who controls the senate this time around, as it did last time around when georgia, a typically republican state, until then elected to democratic senators, one of them was raphael warnock. he is a pastor who preaches at ebony or baptist church,

that's where martin luther king used to preach and he's running against herschel walker. herschel walkers, a former university of georgia football star, the republicans went for someone with a big name was very popular in this state. who could raise money and in their final arguments, warnock is arguing that walker simply isn't ready and that he's not fit. and that's in part because a number of revelations have come out about walker during this campaign. he's anti abortion. but to ex girlfriends have said that he has pressured them to have abortions. years ago, he denies that he has said that black men need to be with their families and spend time with their children. and it turns out over the course of the campaign, it came out that one too. and then finally 3 elated, illegitimate children that she has are not in contact with him, living with other women. so that has been damaging to him over the course of the campaign and in ads in these recent days they've been pretty tough. his allies,

crucial walkers, have also put out an ad that rehash is an old accusation of war knox wife who says that he ran over her foot during an argument. this is his ex wife of many years ago . so it's getting a little dirty in the ads here. and the polls show these 2 gentlemen are ex roared narrowly close. and that's important because this could also be the last election that is decided for the senate. because if you don't get 50 percent of the vote here in georgia than there is a run off, in this case, that would be in december. so we could do this all over again. that's how it was decided last time. so the stakes are high voting interest is very intense, and these 2 candidates are going at it and whatever happens here could decide who controls the senate. john, thank you very much. indeed, john is in atlanta in georgia. i want to thank also of course gabriel as well. and kimberly were going to be checking in with them as the votes come in, but for now guys. thank you very much. indeed. while pulse suggest the u. s.

economy is a top concern for people heading to the ballot box, while reynolds reports from the state of arizona, where many americans are struggling to cope with wising inflation. in tucson, arizona inflation has made father of to justin little's grocery shopping. a lot more complicated whenever we plan our meals, we usually go to unfortunate go to the meet 1st to see what's on sale, and then it's gonna have to build from there. so it always kinda depends on what is affordable at that time. it depends on what you eat, again, the point where you feel like you have no choice but to go to the grocery store and her slater inflation is running at an annual rate of 8.2 percent nationwide. and even worse here in arizona, where in some cities, the rate is 13 percent, it's not just about food, especially with gas prices. it said crazy eyes to fill up my tank with like 20 backs. now it's 40 senior citizen, lannie bets who lives on a fixed income is tightening his belt, dra, literally, when it comes to food,

we're doing, all right, lose a little bit of weight. so that's a positive thing to look at. inflation is dominating the political landscape in the days leading up to election day with republican candidates, hammering their democratic opponents, claiming they are to blame for the price of food fuel and the cost of renting a home. polls consistently show that inflation and the state of the economy is the number one concern of voters all across the country. the high cost of living is likely to be the issue that determines the outcome of the mid term elections. analysts say inflation worries are hurting democrats in swing states like arizona and the inflation nationally is a huge issue for voters. and if you're a senior citizen, living on a fixed income, watching your rent go up or watching your grocery bill go up watching your gas bill, go up that, that some of your definitely think about when you get your ballot, you fill it out. americans political future could hinge,

at least in part on something as mundane as the price of peanut butter. rob reynolds al jazeera tucson, arizona. will i speak to adam goodman in washington, dc. he is a republican strategist vega to have you with a so and i'll 0, thank you very much and for being with us, can you help our international audience out with some context here looking at it from the outside that appear to be 2 types of republicans those who believe in small government and low taxes, the traditional republican values, and those who support donald trump, who, at least to those of us looking in, seemed to just hate democrats. how big is the split in the republican party other to republican parties? well the, that's the party is a very complex idea. dd's is, it's not a monolith. however, in this election, it's a highly partisan election where i think everyone's going to their respective corners. and so what you're going to see tonight for democrats, and i think that you, her,

i heard that in the t up from the white. how you white house reporter is it. the only thing that is left to be decided, is it going to be a bad night, a very bad night, or a nightmare for democrats? that's all we have. that's all that's really love to be decided. congress has all that flipped to the republican sides. only question now margin is the force of the states you, you just profile ga, pennsylvania, rosanna, 3 of the 4 key swing states, nevada, would add to that. as the 4th. anything can happen. you talk about inflation is all about the economy in the west in arizona and nevada, some of the highest gas and food prices in the country. the question is, does that trump some of the other issues? democrats obviously gone very hard on abortion, on threats of democracy on a gun reform republicans on the other hand, and not only push on the of inflation economic buttons, but also on immigration. a boy is which is really border security. and in certain places, crime you see in new york, for instance,

that crime is now the number one issue by far. i think it's 5 points in the latest pulling over the economy. and the abortion issue in new york is down to like 6 percent. so regional issues are to help your audience understand a lot of regional issues will come into play tonight. issues count is not just about partisanship tonight. is about the issues themselves. and of course, some of the person to help these are the candidates that are running, but the final point is we are not gonna know tonight with any certainty, the final result. pennsylvania doesn't even start counting their absentee ballots. so the polls. busy closed denied, and as we saw in 2020 was likely gonna happen is that best vote for republicans will be the early reports of, of the vote. and that will then start to give way to the kind of absentee ballots which likely favor the democrats. it's for a political junkie. you couldn't ask for

a better period of time to study what could be, by the way, very new dynamics in the election process in america. largely because the vote by mail has become such a predominant choice of, for voters across the land that the modeling of poles that you hear all this about is type here and it's site there. the pulls are modeled on past behavior on past selections. someone in net nevada said to me appropriately, it's like comparing pears to apples and trying to guess where the polls really will be on election night and beyond. and that's why everyone should fasten their seatbelts for a very long may be bought, be ride. but what is certain is that the democrats are not going to have a good night. the question is, how bad could he get in the run up to this, the coverage that we've been able to see of the republicans. and it has been predominantly geared towards identifying the problems that they see under

a democratic government. we haven't heard very much about solutions to those problems. there is a sense, again, watching from the rest of the world that the republicans intention is just to get in caused problems for the democrats and hold investigations. and, you know, abandon ukraine, for example. change that the funding for ukraine, but how to rank and file republicans convince voters who are undecided? that actually they're not just out for revenge? well that's, that's a very good question. the, the likely speaker of the house, if there is a flip of control and congress is mccarthy from california. he is already outlined his priority agenda moving forward. the 3 things on that agenda, not surprisingly, number one is getting inflation under control, but the other 2 are going after crime and border security, which by the way is different from immigration reform. border security says we're

going to secure our southern flag and that i think is only popular among republicans. it's popper across the land in terms of ukraine. you mentioned ukraine . i think that difference may be in a republican congress that they'll be support for ukraine certainly. but may be unlike what we've seen over the past year, it will not be a blank check, as has been offered our friends or allies over there to support the effort against russia. there is a sense that republicans are so focused on a 14 democrats that any attempt to have cross potty dialogue a negotiation is almost got to be impossible. but of course, as, as you are well aware that at the things that affect people's daily lives needs that kind of negotiation. they need those discussions to take place on republicans willing to ignore people's day to day problems. just to make a point. i hope not. you know, we've had a hyper par as an atmosphere in this country for a number of years. and frankly,

every once responsible for that, including the president united states to pledge in his campaign, he was gonna bring every one together and, and pretty much did everything. but odd, if we don't pull together and get things done, i think it will be a pox on all houses eventually. and republican gains, whatever they may end up being tonight or even in $24.00 will be short lived. because americans, as you, you would assume are thirsting for a change that makes a difference in the quality of their life. and i think you're seeing too much of the internet, seen battles among partisans and not enough of progress moving forward. adam goodman really get to get your thoughts on this and we appreciate you being with us and i'll justina so. thank you very much indeed. thank you. or you can watch i was special coverage of the u. s. midtown. poland starting o 100 g m t on widen state. we're going to have correspondence across the u. s. to break down all the results. explain what it means for those in america, and why the midterm is matter to the rest of the world.

ah, the wind is accusing its neighbor democratic republic of congo of provocation after its fighter jet, entered your wanda, air space. families. planes have been targeting m 23 rebels in the east of the country. more than 3000 new army recruits have also started training and the city of goma. the congolese government accuses rwanda of backing the m $23.00 fighters, which could golly denied. the renewed conflict has forced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes in recent months. mark web has more from a displaced persons camp near gomer, who tens of thousands of people arrived here. can you see now id come following recent advances by m 23, which is widely believed to be a proxy of neighboring rwanda. the border is just over the admiral, and this is 2 kilometers over there. these people came from villages to the north.

the united nations children funds is about 90000 of been displaced by the recent fighting. we can take a look around, people are trying to build shelters, he out of whatever they can stick leave and plastic sheets. we spoke to one young man who says he fled because am 23 of forcibly recruiting young men. people here fear that could be in preparation for an advance on the regional capital of murder city. about 2000000 people were just on the outskirts of it. people here say that that terrified of m. 23. 10 years ago when it took a persuasive territory here in east and congo, it was known for executing civilian torturing people for rapes. and there being complaints of exactly the same kinds of abuses. now, said people, as soon as the fighting gets close, very many of them flee these people, all of them of walked 30 or 40 kilometers to get away from the fighting to get away

from the front line. and to come and stay here. and what are, quite frankly, fairly dire conditions with little clean water, very inadequate shelter. and very little said, margaret, my 3rd charity boat, have not been allowed to disembark in italy after a week at sea. the vessel, the rise above came to shore the italian port, vecchio calabria, and one of 4 rescue boats that but initially denied permission to dock as part of a crack done by italy's new far right to government. monetary in groups, a warning of desperate conditions for the hundreds of people still on board. 20 berkeley has the latest from the sicilian, puerto catania, there is pressure, i understand not just from the humanitarian organizations, we understand the vatican has got involved. so there are moves here to make the italian government changes mind, but at the moment it's not moving. as far as content is concerned, the 2 ships here still have nearly 300 migrants on board. they're not being allowed off for the or encouraging signs. the high me the job ranch ship,

the norwegian ledges ship, they have 231 people on board. we see medical teams go in and police medical team school medical check to see how they are and also the police for documentation purposes. so it does seem that perhaps things are moving, but at the moment you're italian, government backed itself into a corner, and it's going to be difficult to see how they get out of it. one of the problems also is for the captains of both boats here because they were ordered to leave the port yesterday by noon. they didn't do that, they now face a $50000.00 euro fine or something like $80000.00. and if they don't do pay that fine, then they, they could go to court and then complicate the ship. so that would negate what they do fun to do with seeing rescue all these people. so there are still lots of questions here, and not all the answers are being forthcoming. and i tried to whether he is rob the hurricane season isn't over yet as in november, and we still got something that might well turn into hurricane. on the brink now,

i think windsor about 75 kilometers per hour, they are slowly strengthening. and of course, it comes in, it's got all the attendance risks of storm surge and rainfall as it approaches the bahamas, particularly the northern bahamas. now it doesn't gain strength is going to continue revolving and produce that rainfall. and as it goes through the bahamas, which currently have a hurricane, warring on them, it goes towards the coast of florida and all the way out that east coast of the states. this certainly tropical storm warning, the strength of wind, but rain will effect certain areas. and florida, of course, is in line for wednesday and thursday, along with the bahamas. that the u. s. is changing. it's where the quite dramatically at the moment was that comes in the east coast, you've got temps is already very hot, new november records set incomplete contrast to what's happening in the western side of canada and dan, pacific coast of the us. what it looks like. it is indeed it's closer inspection, it's just not just some stuff. it's a lot of them for the sierra nevada, which is the california border mountains,

white artists. so if you like it would blizzard and half a meter sto, seems like about in the tuesday or into wednesday. then it all spreads slowly eastwards. so i had an al jazeera, more in the u. s. midterm elections. we examine the issue of immigration, especially for states along the mexican border. someone took part of the cell, is beijing marathon? i put in quality after tested, positive for coven 19. i'm brazil name their world cup squad with a liberal po for what? not on the list. ah frank assessments, if the united states that you're running the program, was there a sign that you might have informed opinions? i believe that armenia, again, she, bilateral negotiations. we've been calling that so many times. critical debate is the commonwealth now still something that king charles will take home in depth

you want to go to 0 reminder of our top stories this our polls have open to the eastern united states and midterm elections are underway. if republicans managed to take control of both houses of congress, it could derailed president joe biden's legislative agenda, or the race is expected to come down to a few key states, nevada, wisconsin, georgia, and pennsylvania and others are shaping up to be the tightest races in the country, if you decide the balance of power in congress are one big issue and voters minds is immigration, especially from mexico manual, arapahoe reports, and how things look from the mexican side of the border. the record numbers of migrants on the u. s. southern border. it's one of the most politically charged issues being debated ahead of the u. s. mid term elections. but critics say the politics playing out in the us are also having a significant impact on immigration policies across the border. in mexico level,

you pick up 30 left. it's not really policy the entire migration situation. mexico depends largely on politics and actions from the united states. human rights observers say that strict border policies, along with a recent agreement between the us and mexico to contain migration, has led to a pilot of migrants in mexico. jenina ramos, a program coordinator for doctors without borders, says the resulting crisis has left angie yos with limited resources in general, if seen humanitarian consequences of politics. and that's something that we shouldn't write because basic needs, primary, healthcare, mental health, shelter, foot, water shouldn't be linked. to a consequence of the fully things. though mexico city normally has the space to accommodate large migrant groups. passing through the recent influx of migrants has overwhelmed the organizations that normally assist them. were inside mexico, cities largest migrant shelter in just the last few weeks. the migrant population

here has served by more than 5 times the shelters capacity. to say it's overcrowded, would be an understatement, and the shelters organizers tell us that more people are arriving every day on the shelters. director, sister magna says her organization has been in crisis mode since last month after mexico agreed to accept more migrants being expelled from the us and advocates and i was calling the shelters on the verge of collapse were short on water bathrooms. we don't even have enough food, while many in mexico speculate over how the upcoming us mid term elections will impact the worsening crisis. migrants are growing concerned that border policies will only become more strict than than eligible to for me. many families of entity you ask that many other families have been supported to mexico and have been sent back to the shower. that's what worries me. i mean, one thing policy experts on both sides of the border say could provide some relief to the migrant crisis. is comprehensive immigration reform from the u. s.

government. that reform, however, is largely seen as unlikely if the u. s. congress becomes more divided after the mid term elections. manuel apollo, al jazeera mexico city. and you can watch our special coverage of the u. s. midterm polls starting all 100 g m t on wednesday, a russian appointed official in ukraine's castle regions says civilians have been moved as ukrainian forces advanced. if we take control in the area, our phone is the only big city russia is captured since its invasion in february. on the 4th, if you would know for people who left to right then part of cash or region for the left bank or in the sea for condition. the evacuation is over. people may now leave individually if they fly via the hotline, but i repeat, they must do it individually. as of today, i said big following developments from previously in central ukraine was we've been hearing about the evacuation for a while. the president,

president vladimir putin as endorse evacuations of variations that there's been extra impetus over the last few days just because both sides have accused each other. i've talked to that done for the river, both sides of accused each other of wanting to blow it up. and if it does blow, it will have devastating consequences. but there's also extra import us because russian forties had given residents around that down until, until the 10th of november to evacuate. there is a feeding head to the 10th feeling that something will unfold over the next few days, even here where we've been, we've been hearing sr and overnight over the last few days has been reports of explosions. although because of media restrictions, we can't go and see what or if anything has been hit on but around her son, the is the feeling amongst the ukrainians. that something is going to happen in person is very important to the russian is the only regional capital that they've managed to take them to the dock of the war. it's the only point the west side of the river, the need for the russian troops occupied curse on the gateway to the south is also

football team take the spotlight. rugby has always represented what it means to be . wow, certainly sort of side. well, i think watch football team of now taken on that mantle. the players are heroes in this country. everybody felt really emotional about 2016 and hearing that from the welsh anthem for the 1st time in a major tournament. but i think going to catch our and hearing it again, the usa in that 1st game, that will be something else. wales may not need to come to the spirit of 958 when they kick off on november 21st. the spirits of 2022 seems to be enough for re how they're called in the last time it was played out to the fif wildcat, a life of bread and britain. cost of $0.13. a kind of cake would have set you back $0.05. the average house price was around $2800.00 while we can now go to court if where the house price is all significantly more nowadays, enjoined ryan march,

founder of alternative wiles, whiles football coach magazine and podcast. brian the thank you for joining us. so many well sounds like yourself has never seen your country play at a wildcard. just give us a sense of the anticipation and the excitement that speed and we had build up considering obviously it's, it's being played in the winter. so of almost the club season is distracted from it . but in the last couple of weeks, you know, especially in the last few days, everything's restarted around. but now, you know, we got songs coming out to everyone's making t shirts, but could have to every way start to feel the excitement now in our day to day lives. yeah, it's sort of the combination of supports and wailed for a lot of people. i think you know, europe and championships to qualify for one of them was good to qualify for to is even better. but you know, we all wanted a world cup. yeah. here we are. we're on the, we're on the cusp of it. and finally,

we're going to witness it after after such a long, long time i laid out from while stephanie, from a british perspective about the stand out game in that group, wales, england. but is there too much danger of putting too much focus on that fixture? i don't think from the welsh perspective, there's too much focus on it. and it's a shame that, you know, we finally qualify for this will curve or, you know, a chance to play teams. we don't normally play, you know, i've never seen us play an african team for example, or we end up draw in england, you know, at seen with plays. we all know very well from, you know, club football. and it just feels a bit of a shame that when they meet, we can only be there for 3 games. and for one of those games to be sort of almost wasted against england, don't get me wrong. you know, when the game does come around, i'm going to want to win it. i think it's in a nice place at the end of the group. or hopefully we would have been all the hard work by then, and it's a bit of a rubber match. and we can just sort of get what we can from it. anything is

a bonus, but um, yeah, it was a said it was a bit of shame that we're going to be in that sort of england's group circus as sort of the, the english centric media in, in, in, in wales. tends to sort of view it. but them, yeah i, it's just another game in the wilker, but obviously, you know, when it does come around with it, it'll be even sweeter to win than any of the other 2. all right, is there a team at this wildcat that relies on one player more than wales relies on garrath bail? i think so. yeah, i think it's, i think anyone who sort of watch wells m a over the last 5 or 6 years knows full well that we don't necessarily rely on gary fail. yes, he does score big goals. yes, he does score important goals. yes, he can come up with special moments, but i, i don't think you can, you can say that it's, it's all down to him. it's, it's, it's a team effort. and that, that doesn't include just the 11 players who are playing on the pitch. that's all

the way through the back room staff, all the way to the fans all the way to the, to the, the football association of wells. and nothing ever arises ready really quickly. and i didn't ask you one final question. and realistically, how far can miles go out is welcome. i'll be happy to get out of the group and then when you're in the knockout roads anything can happen. so last 16 would be nice. anything a bit further would be even nicer. but as long as we're competing muscle, i hopeful right much that from alternative wyles. thank you so much for your time. thanks very much. woke up. excitement is growing, not any wild, but here in cats are to you and know what more so than on the countries most popular football show. much of this out there is how much i was on. he went to meet the shows heist. how did just him with
