invest indonesia now, ah, alger 0 rate. with no talk to al jazeera, we ask, do you believe that it was somehow abandoned by the international community? we listen, we have a huge price for the rural, i'm going, it's terrorism that's going on in somebody we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the stories that matter on al jazeera. ah ah, we begin this program with breaking news in just

a day out from the faith, the world cup, the president of faith, a gianni infant tina was speaking at a news conference. let's listen. i've been pretty quiet. in the last few months, his working behind the scenes observing what was going on trying to do my best to whether with the team and to day one day before kick off of the world cup. i thought it is important to meet all of you and to discuss about songs, not all of the topics which have been rightly or wrongly put on the table in the last few months this some would say the last few years, by the honest, honestly what that's been picked up in the last few months. it has been something

quite incredible. i would say so let's look at that. and then let's also hopefully speak a little bit about football. if you're not too tired today i, however, there is strong feelings. i can tell you that today a feeler katara today, i feel free at up today i feel african today i feeler gay

to day i feel is a boat to day i feeler, a migrant worker. and so i feel this all this because what they've been seeing and there but i've been told since i don't read otherwise i will be depressed. i think where they see brings me back to my personal story.

i am son of megan underwood. curse my parents were working very, very hard in very, very difficult conditions. nothing. carter in switzerland i remember very well very well. i am not under 50 years old. and i'm not speaking about her apartheid in south africa. i remember very well. we're in the mag and roar, of course, in switzerland. we're living how they were living, what rights they had, or they didn't have, and i'm not 150 years old. yet, even if some think i am under 50 years old. i remembered as a child. how migrant workers were treated when they wanted to enter the country to

look for work on the border. i remember what happened there, bars ports with their medical checks or their accommodation. and when i came to door, ha, the 1st time after i was elected he, the president, i went to see some of these workers accommodations here. and i was more brought back to my childhood and i said to the people here in carter, well this is not good. there's not right. need to do something about it. and the same as switzerland today has become an example of inclusion of tolerance of nationally. this working together with rights

cut out has made progress as well. i will come back to that because i feel many other things as well. of course, i'm not done. category, i'm not, i rather not african, i'm not gay and not disabled. i'm not really a migrant. worker but they feel like them because they know what it means to be discriminated to be bullied as a foreigner in a foreign country. as a child at school, i was more late to because i had her i tear and i had these the red till you call them freckles freckles. wreck of us. sorry,

freckles freckles easier than you know the term. i was bullied. of course for that glass there was a diane, so imagine didn't speak good german. and what do you do then? you lock yourself down, you into your room, you cry. and then you try to make some friends and you tried to speak to engage and you tried to get these friends to engage as well, with others and others, and others don't start accusing fighting, insulting. you start engaging and this is what we should be doing.

i feel as well very much for all the fee for staff for older supreme committee stuff for all the cute and to stuff for all the volunteers, brian. he had all the others. those were there. they are all here early because they want to deliver to you until the world an incredible football event. they are all proud to be here. i am proud to have this fever sign my jacket. so the easy, every day and every day to read all this critics for the decisions which i've been taken 12 years ago and nobody there of us was, was there. and now every one knows that we have to make the best out of it and we

have to make the best world cut bad ever. and doha is already cut out is read, it will be the less will cover, of course, because you know, better than me, the magical football. as soon as his ball rolls, people will concentrate on death because that's what people want. so i applaud all dos were engaged, he had more than 100000 people are caring for you for all the one and a half 1000000 fans calling from broad one out moon from here in terms of giving them the necessary security advice. held food, cleaning everything, and they are all proud to do that. they are all proud to do that. and i thank them for doing that.

what is sad is that especially in the last weeks we have been assisting on now in someplace is a really lesson of moral of double moral. i would say threat zabel of the migrant workers. if you allow me we have told many, many lessons from some europeans from the western world. i'm european actually i am european and i just, i feel european i think for what we europeans have been doing in the last

3000 years around the world. we should be apologizing for next 3000 years before starting to give moral lessons to people i came here 6 years ago and address the murder of firms migrant workers. straight on. and my very 1st meeting. how many of these, sir? european or western business companies? who are millions and millions from carter or other countries in the region? billions every year to how many of them have addressed migrant workers? rides. with the authorities?

i have the answer to none of them. none of them because any change the legislation, it means less profit instead of 1000000000 where you may be may going in another 1000000. but we did and he for generates much, much, much less than any of these companies from cutter. we see here as well, many government representatives from many countries coming to carter. i don't have to defend in any way whatsoever. got out they can defend themselves. i'm defending football year, an injustice. they will come because it happens that the country would just set sand and some pearls in the sea. well, actually found that have there something that is,

was much more it's gas. if there was no gas, nobody would care. but now they all come on and they will want something and who is actually carrying about the workers who thief, others footballers, the woke up does and to me fair to them cut out on us as well. i was a done event a few days ago on where we explained what we are doing in this world cup for the disabled people today. and i'm a harmon, jonathan, my genius. we are here. so there are many journalists are here, got to pay for hundreds for, and john i saw here that the man was collared by for journalists. probably.

that is 1000000000 disabled people in the world. 1000000000 disabled people, nobody cares about the cat. 15 percent of the world population is disabled. nobody cares for jonah this you think they don't suffer, so we don't have to care, but work or suffer and you be these are for, of course, but disabled people don't. of course they do. and of course we have to care and of course we have to do things to help them as well, like we have to do for the workers for it and you be the and for any minority anyone that is in any way suffering or being abuse. so speaking about workers,

i bumped into irma migrants a study not the fee for study, a human rights watch study on of these companies that i think is also criticizing. certainly for certainly, rightfully many times, i guess we'll, let's study says basically that because of the european migration policy, 25000 migrants died since 2014, in 18200, only this year human beings died. so if i would take 2 steps make of

this, i almost, i also wonder, but i will come back to then why nobody asked for a compensation to be paid for the families of these migrants or die. maybe their life is not worse in the same what are we going? where are we going with our way of working? nice. we have to ask this ourselves, where does the world going to if you got to steps back and they look at this issue of migration and the situation of her hundreds of thousands of women and men from developing countries who would like to offer their services abroad in order to help and give the future to their families

back home. well, katara is actually offering them this opportunity. hundreds of 1000 of workers from developing countries come here. they aren't 10 times more than what they earn in their home country and have their families to so life and they do it in a legal way. when europe, we close our borders and we don't allow practically any worker from these countries who are and worth, obviously very low income to war legally in our countries because we all know there are many illegal workers in our european conscious living

conditions which are also not really the best so those who are the reach europe for those who want to go to europe, they have to go through a very difficult journey. only a few survive. so if you are old, if you would really care about the destiny of these people of these young people. well, the noodle could also do as cut out of it. create some channels, legal channels, where at least a number, a percentage of these workers could come to europe,

law revenues, but give them some work, give them some future, give them some corp. this doesn't mean that we shouldn't point. edward doesn't work hidden carter as well. of course, there are still things had done was going to need to be addressed. but this more lesson giving me one silent is just hypocrisy. i wonder why nobody recognize the

progress that has been made since 2016, the co father system was abolished. minimum wages were introduced, heat protection measures were taken i, a law international unions, acknowledged that by media, the aunt or sambal, dont to difficult for a war could hold comstock adara to go back home. because thanks to him coming here, even in difficult situations, which were comparable to situations of european migrants in europe a few decades ago. but thanks to that, he can make his family live in a scantron because he owns 10 times or even more here. so why?

why couldn't we do something like this in europe and do something much better for many more people all over the world? so i'd either understand or have difficulties to understand this or criticism. i think we need to invest in helping these people. of course, i will come back to that we need to invest in education to give them

a better future to give them more hope speaking about the workers or their children . but i'm speaking about all of us. we should all educate ourselves. and whilst many, many things are not perfect, reform and change takes time. it took hundreds of years in our countries in europe, where we think we have achieved the top. i wonder if that's the case. it takes time everywhere and the only way of obtaining results is by engaging searching the dialogue. not by hammering insulting when when your child that are

something bad at school and you tell him your an idiot, you are useless and you put them in are in his room. what the thing is, we actually if you engage with him, if you speak to him, if you ask him why you did this, let's work together and you will have better grades or whatever. he will recognize that and you will be better. i don't want to give you any lessons of life and just realizing that the world is going on here is profoundly, profoundly unjust. many international guys, asians, io i to c b, w. i have recognized that the working workers standards here are similar to those in western europe. to dawson,

western europe. the salaries made me lower by the workers standards. the saved insecurity are similar. i've never read this anywhere except in the report of these organizations. these are important steps. this was not the case 10 years ago and is the case. now, let's see what happens as well in the next 10 years. and in this respect, since we speak about dorcas then, i will move to other topics as well. i think it will be longer than 45 minutes, but we have time. the woke up kicks off on it tomorrow, right? or let me tell you the things regarding workers. since i was the receiving dell as well, many or even personal law,

and how to call it almost slits there was a demand somewhere about the center or whatever because the workers law know what 2 boys they have questions and if they need help. and so i am very pleased, i don't know whether you know the next level here. yes. and very pleased to have been having discussions with ha the government and cut her and to the director general of a little i met him 2 days ago in barley or the occasion or the g 20 dr.

gilbert from a law. he was there. and i'm happy because there is a real prospect and there are still some formalities to be carried out of her a dedicated office that would be a permanent office. i a law office international labor organization office which will be having its headquarters here in the law. this is a real progress because this is exactly the place where the workers can go through as well. there. the unions will, will be integrated, of course in the io office can go and seek for assistance. i believe this is a big commitment by most the

cathartic government and io. it's not something that fi far can influence. got out as a sovereign state, halo is a un organization thief. i cannot tell them what they have to do, but we can engage of them. we can spend days and night speaking with them. and we are that there will be an eye on a permanent office, which was serv. exactly. the purpose which was asked for to assist everyone who is here, show them their rights and remedies possible. and that is one 0, the 2nd one that hasn't been brought to

us. and i want to tell you again, we do not to react based on whatever pressure we receive. we act when we decide the time to act has come. so i've been speaking with many people from football. i will not mention them or al taylor football or tell me, you know, we have to say do things in public because we have a lot of pressure from other media. but in reality, you know, we are, we few are, these are lead on the other. we're not like that we dont react to pressure pressure is negative engagement is positive. so when we are ready we do things

and when it comes to compensation of workers as well, you should know that there is a legal framework to color workers compensation. again, we are in the sovereign country. do you think the thought can go to england or to the u. s. or to italy and tell the governments you know what we come and we are established a system for compensation of migrant workers in your country. already they have a lot to deal with my granddaughter cuz we're for without papers whether no conversation at all, at least all workers in cut out because they are legally here. they have a compensation of skinny and her katara established a workers support and insurance fun to support compensation

claims since 2018, this fund has paid over 350000000. you was dollars toward course in need. majority of them for unpaid wages, but also for accidents of course of workers because every worker that has an accident receives a compensation by law. and depending on the gravity of the acts in that conversation can be several years of salary. and if in the last 40 years 350000000 were paid i suspect that if in the next 40 years.
