a press conference by faith, president, jani infant. he know it is 9, g m t m. 12 noon locally in doha, he was holding a news conference. the day before the 2022 football world campus commence is in and carter. and before we leave the question and answer section of the press conference, just to recap was informed. tina was talking about really certainly was an extraordinary press conference that went for at least an hour. his initial speech, the time was one of condemnation of european double moral standards and of the press. there was also a point where he's hook about his own experience of lien for having red hair and freckles and accusations that the press don't care about disabled people. let's listening now to the question and answer section of the press conference supporting an event in a country which has discriminatory laws. if you were to exclude all the countries were discriminated in laws or either human rights

problems who are playing football only, maybe you or me maybe i because i don't know i not that me. i don't discriminate that you. i don't know. i hope not. so i think it is real to bring, the former brings people together and unite to world. i think we have to do that. and i think we have to welcome everybody in cutter. gay people are welcoming carter, and we need to engage with only to provoke, we tween gauge. we need to discuss how many, how many gay people were prosecuted in europe. sorry. it was a process. we went through a process. we seem to forget we seem to forget, but we need to see what experience we made and we don't have to take for granted

that the country which did not have the same chance of development because of the climate, for example, that we had in europe ease and went through the same experiences then, then we have, so i really believe that we have to have our beliefs and we have to engage. and we have to explain and i think provocation is the wrong way. i mean, i might be right. i might be wrong, i don't know. i don't know. i try to obtain the results i obtained by again, by, by engaging i went and now we cannot speak about the around because of the terrible situation in iran, which is very bad, of course. but i 80000000 people in iran. are they all dead?

i don't think so. i don't think so. i went several times to run, to commencing then present. ronnie to give access to the stadiums, to women. we obtained it after the years of discussion after the years that i was hammered by everyone. how can you go to war county, which doesn't allow women into stadium now? it's even worse. what's happening, of course, and we went to stadium is one little sign that weekend or fif as not that wall. you're not the united nations, we're not the old police. we are not. i don't all their blue helmets. d only weapon that we have his this is the ball and we have to try with this to engage, to explain and to enter the results. and if, as a result of our actions, i have to take some critics or even

a lot of critics. but the consequence is that a few 100000 war curves in katara, for example, or a few 1000 or 100000 women in iran, are a little bit happier because they have higher salaries or because they can go to watch a football game, which is their passion i think every, every click on me. okay, next question where he got to the 2nd row from the back on the left there on the left. gentleman in the white's. thank you. or your said pistol was all her because her, my english is not sir. so good, so i prefer to ask you, i know for the french nigger, which i got kind of asking finish replacement was a very fair danny, i'm all there now more in the long drawn a longer tanya,

on her believe it or her kids, italy is if that is convulsing coffee, or lizzie, does them kids channels of your political cycle, but you want to do me, vancouver listed there, and the budget. he deserves the best of it for video and the new pu upper or to preset boa. i see philo, let's g, as in nancy, michael messy because i think the more belly because i do it every day, but because you know, the less it's yolanda yolanda, please don't randomly v a l shift that they will no longer. so me, me such a day and this during the summer my message was sort of one that was very simple to use it with around football. what football means,

the point for us going to see the country and also for the well from an economic standpoint. because we know that g 20 is a financial organization. however, i also say about that lease social aspect of civil especially because a lot of the different political decision makers were together around the same table. i was able to reiterate my call for peace care or at least for cease fire or some thing as sign kumasi on the humanitarian aid or humanitarian current, or georgia that were able to start discussions with dialogue between russia and ukraine. obviously with the support of b. g, 20 members thing because the reality of the matter is that people are dying. something we are talking about a loss of life, human life, totally daily monday. and i personally believe that all of the different neighbors

around the world, all of us should be doing everything that we can within the means that are available to improve the current situation. what were the results of these different discussions? the conversations that was started that continue to be the way on the show. i didn't know we suppose maybe there's a not when one percent chance us there is life at the end of the tunnel. but even if nothing positive happens, we will still continue our endeavors. what was the 2nd question? sorry? we could just pick, i can't remember. the 2nd question says the president, does the exact amount just want that's going to be on the legacy legacy legacy of this book. with issues on to defend, this woke up, we'll leave it you know, lots of things has been done. who, up until now, obviously the stadia, the metro, the country environment photos say hold on them as you legacy. we're going to

tell him on the hub that will be cultural. why? because the world has a window into the i'm quite versa. i believe, i believe that people are going to come to get with preconceived ideas. people come to the belief for the 1st time and not see those, that they just him been human. like the rest of us on the job when it comes to me on the legacy on the different subject with the conditions that have improved for migrant workers and in the future. these conditions will be even better. we've also seen by key you wanted to see different lafitte steps that have been taken. in fact, alice dying and israeli citizens can come together to this country of his g. it's during the wilcox, but this is a door that has been opened and may be quite sure the door will stay

a jaw on the few. jesse, i believe that when we think about human rights, human rights discussion is trudy and away fee for will create your legacy fund. dedicated to this is walk up catherine team to ensure that children are able to have better education in the for corners of the world to cover you. but also to ensure expect working conditions the back is ah, uniform across civil front country. so that we can ship best practices for working conditions. and this in partnership with the ireland the international labor organization. ok, you're watching al jazeera and that was safe. a president gianni santana during a news conference just a day before the 2022 football world cup committee. here in jo, how can the press conference was held at the cotton national convention center, where he spent the 1st hour addressing the press and speaking about several issues

and could takes that by fee for and could have been facing over the past month. including cuts has treatment of migrant workers and their living conditions to break it down for us, let's bring him out. there is split presenter jim and nash who's been tracking this briefing for us over the past sort of 17 minutes or so general what stood out to you the most from that. i mean there was plenty that he covered. well, in that certainly taking a map, the critics of this wildcat from that have been quite a few of course suggesting there is a hypocrisy and inconsistency really when, when reporting on when focusing on the issues in katara and particularly the, the treatment of migrant workers. and he said, it's not easy to read the criticisms and for the decisions that were made 12 years ago and speaking as a european. he was born in switzerland and he says,

i quite what we europeans have done around the world for the last 3000 years. we should be apologizing for, for the next 3000 years and not giving lessons and, and the situation regarding alcohol, which is what everybody has been listening out for after that late decision yesterday. and he says that this is the biggest issue. we have not telling cold outside the stadiums on going to resign immediately and go to the beach am and he says every decision is a joint, one between castle and fever and, and he says asking people not strength for 3 hours a day, you will survive. so yeah, that's what he said about the alcohol am, and you will say, talked about the relationship with sponsors. budweiser and he said this will make their partnership even stronger. so certainly a speech that we weren't necessarily expecting. we're expecting it to be more of a press conference with a question and answer type situation, but he did speak for am at le, our, at length,

which i don't think many people were expecting. and now that question and answer session, still going on as well as the alcohol. he also spoke a lot about his own personal experiences in switzerland and also in his role that he should be facing the criticism. tell us a little bit more about what he said from a personal perspective. yeah, he was, he was saying that he's the son of migrant workers in switzerland and he says he knows what it's like to be to be bullied. he said he was bullied over the color of his hair. i'm as i, he was kind of trying in his own way, i guess, to kind of show like a personal kind of sympathy towards people that you know, a getting and targeted with where, you know, people that are margaret. well, because he's trying to show sympathy for them, the other point i actually just want you to mention as well. and there were concerns tickler this late decision to reverse the alco rules. some people from the algae bt plus community,

you will what we're worried that they've been given these assurances that are going to be safe and cut off and somewhere. that's why that is, the goal posts have been moved about the alcohol is anything i was going to change about the safety going forward. but john infant in a wanted to reiterate that everybody is welcome in this, that this is a key fee for requirements. and so he's kind of moved her reassure fans coming, who are of that l g b t plus committee, that their safety would be a short. and he also and reacted to accusations that fans have been paid to come here, so called fake fans. and again, i quite see says can somebody who looks indian not chief england, spain or germany, he called this pure racism and says, this needs to stop. he simply didn't means words and i'm sure they'll be lot of analysis about that speech in the coming hours and days. we appreciate your thoughts on that. that is jemma nash out as you're a sports presenter. we'll have plenty more news ahead on al jazeera,

voter registration. and because the voting age has been lowered to 18, squeezed by the rising cost of living, many vote to say the economy is one of their main concerns for the future, where they stand, educating that increase career opportunities are back to environmentally living will for everyone else for funding coming generation economic, what's important is the economy to get rid of corruption and bribery and voting for my children's future. and of course, malaysia, though most of the craft is a major issue. the top ranks of one of the main contenders varies the national or national front is tainted with corruption. they were voted out in the last election, but made a political come back as part of a new alliance after the previous government collapsed because of infighting and defection. the main opposition, the alliance of hope is hoping to repeat the electro victory in 2018. then the,

the national alliance, a relatively new partnership. they've been accused of encouraging the defection which led to the collapse of the previous government. and i think the considerations that people would meet now would be, which is the more fitting government, rather than where do i come to, my protest vote or redway express. my dissatisfaction analysts regard this as malaysia, the most competitive election. it's also one of the most difficult to call. some surveys predict the opposition will take the most seats, but not enough to form government on its own. the question of who lead malaysia may still not be clear, even after all votes have been counted. florence louis al jazeera quality course. let's head to the u. s. now where former president donald trump has hit out of the decision to appoint a special counsel, who will oversee to justice department investigations. jack smith will lead the probes into trump's alleged interference in the 2020 presidential election,

that he's entering the 2024 presidential race. a special counselor is the only way to lessen the appearance of a conflict of interest. roland, but based on recent developments, including the former president's announcement that he is a candidate for president in the next election. and the sitting president stated intention to be a candidate as well. i have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint a special council. this surrenders abuse of power is the latest of a long series of which us shorted a long time ago. his belief in american strength and his commitment to american speaking from a moral law gala hours after the special council announcement, trump accused the bite and admin duration of political attack. the corrupt and highly political justice department just appointed a super radical left special council. better referred to as a special prosecutor. this is a rig deal just as the 2020 election was rigged,

and we can't let them get away with it. we can't do it. we cannot let this happen. dork ok, the white house has consistently declined to discuss investigations involving trump abide and spokesperson said the president had not been involved in the decision to appoint a special counsel. it might not have been strictly necessary at this early stage, but merrick garland is a, by the books kind of attorney general, he's extremely cautious and he wants any indictment that comes down regarding donald trump's actions to be beyond reproach. the accused part of this group smith, who previously led justice department prosecutions of democrats and republicans for corruption, is described as an apolitical. and by the book prosecutor, he'll be under pressure to complete the trump investigations quickly and decide whether to recommend criminal charges against the former president. heidi joe
