hello, this is the news. our on al jazeera, fully back to bo live in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. fever chief johnny in fontana keys is western critics of hypocrisy. a day before the world cup kicks off in cut. but the smaller lesson giving one sided as joseph walkers. i'm with all of a java than dor and i'll tell you why international forces will be bringing it gets to the sky, the naval destroyers to the boards. but most plans coming from the work up are not going to see them. also the sour, malaysia's former prime minister, marty mohammed loses his seat as results from the national election start coming in . and every she soon makes his 1st visit to cave as british prime minister, promising another $60000000.00 worth of military aid for ukraine.

thank you very much for joining us. it's less than 24 hours before the start of the work up here in kata. and the president of footballs, world governing body has hit out at critics of the tournament. johnny fantine has defended the treatment of migrant workers, say, europe should not be giving what he calls more or less switch sub with the migrant workers. and she allow me we are told many, many lessons from some europeans from the western world. i'm european actually i am european. not 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. this doesn't mean that we shouldn't point. edward doesn't work here in carter as well. of course, there are still things that don't work in the need to be addressed. but this more lesson giving me one silent. it's just hypocrisy. paul reese has more on a fee for cheese frustration at the criticism of keta or johnny infants any was very keen to get on the front foot with the media as this world cup is about to kick off. and that's because of the criticism that katha and fever have had in the

last 12 years since katha won the bid to host the tournament. at some of those issues the rights of migrant workers. they're working conditions or whether gay people will be welcomed in qatar during this woke up given local laws and john infancy know said that they absolutely were. and indeed his communications director, i spoke up said that he was gay and he stood behind thief his stance. now, in fontana sounded very frustrated at the level of the criticism of the relentless criticism. and he said that, of course some of it is fair. but he said the only way for these problems to be worked out was to have the woke up in katha and to engage with those issues here. and he said that much progress had been made. he also, as you might expect, legs, people to now focus on the football and that will be the focus on sunday. as kat

are, the hosts kick off against ecuador at our bait stadium. there might be hope for cathy in that, even though this is their 1st woke up. no house nation has ever lost an opening match at the torment that might give extra pressure for these players as well. well, an eve of the opening match of the tournament between kata and ecuador, the house head coach weighed in on controversy around the treatment of migrant workers, grill k i. e. bahama. been based on some misinformation. in my opinion, some of the comments weren't completely fears. obviously the loss of life during working hours as the greatest tragedy that we can endure, whether it's here in town or anywhere else in the world. so we just hope that this will country means that altogether we can work to benefit the conditions for this group. not just an guitar, but everywhere else in the world under. meanwhile, in ecuador of gangs have declared

a true so people can focus on watching their team in action at the well, can we go live to latin america tend to see a human who joins us live from quiet keel. does he excitement is growing for the opening match death. absolutely. well as what everybody knows, south america isn't absolutely football crazed continent. everybody is mad about it and the ecuadorian are certainly no exception, especially since this they know that the eyes of millions and millions of people from all over the world will be on their team at the opening match. they say that it's an they seen as a privilege, but they're also thinking that they may actually win if not the whole world comp at least the opening match. that's because this time around, they have a team that has some very promising players, including one who was nicknamed here, the black, messy. we'll see a little bit more about him at just a 2nd, but there is a tremendous amount of excitement here. and i would bet venture to bet that in

a few more hours, you'll be very hard pressed to find anybody that's not dressed in yellow here. and this is why a keel and in fact, in all of ecuador, in black in ecuador, is largest city. there's a frenzy to obtain the national teams jersey before they sell out. all i got in trouble for not every ecuadorian is a fanatic about football walk over here. this woman confesses, she's buying a small one for her dog. huh. football fever has taken over. odd oklahoma, cause we're going to win by one mill. a 12 year old jeremy disagrees. yeah. okay, and let them, oh, i think that in the 1st half will tie, but in the 2nd half we'll whim to nil. thanks to can sell a platter. he's referring to ecuadorian football. idle gonzalo plata, who like almost the entire team, grew up in poverty, gallagher, i'm going from 22 year old bladder nowadays for spain's rail via the lead and has

bought his family. this new house where he keeps many of his trophies one. when joe ne, blacks whites mulattoes from the mountains to the coast. we will become like one like brothers leather. back in his old neighbourhood, they haven't forgotten him. madeline is shows us a photo of platter with her grandson and says he's an inspiration for other boys. so the don't turn to drugs and crime. 2 weeks ago, the government declared a state of emergency and a curfew here. and why akil and to other provinces? because of uncontrollable gang violence because of security concerns, local officials have had to cancel a huge fan fest that they plan to host all the same ecuador and all over guayaquil are preparing for the big day. even the gangs have called for an unofficial truce to allow people to think of nothing else but the game. a true ecuador has never

come close to winning a world cup. but people young and old, tell us that this time they're sure their team will take them further than ever before. just despite on the state of emergency, that's in place here, there will me tool impromptu, as fan fasts if you like in 2 different parts of the city here. and people are planning to go there so that they can watch the game all mass with their compatriots. and make the most of it, especially if they win, which is what they're hoping they will do at the the game takes place in the early morning here before mid day. so that's going to give people a lot of time to get out of the house and go and enjoy the game, and try to forget some of the problems that have been having here the violence, the pandemic, all the things that have made ecuador, and so unhappy at least during that hour and a half is that they will, it will all presumably feel like it never happened. that's what people are telling

us here in this market and everywhere we go. lucy, a thank you very much for that. lucy, in human reporting, their life from guayaquil in ecuador, or cut eyes calling on security expertise to miranda well to safe. got an estimated 1200000 fans. the defense ministry says it'll be the most secure. well, capping history osama bin jotted reports on the miss i age naval base organ. those are the sparks on maybe water calling your sailing. why the review and seat warships are docking in 6 countries if find up to be part of operations woke up shield for the free for tournament thousands of soldiers, sailors, airmen will be contributing to a unique event which contact nature was his opportunities and challenges. i will be under digging federals in the india or surrounding girl got married them. security is primarily the establish the legitimacy audit entity all for anything

experience corporation will be offered in world cup shield. over the years we have collaborated and cooperated with global security partners to ensure that we are prepared guitars known to be one of the most safest and most useful countries in the region that it's maintains the robot security system and infrastructure. and we would just like to reassure people that during the cup they can feel safe while they enjoy the football. john, what seems to be over, although there seems to be no imminent threat, but the sailors on board focused on naval ship the booth say that here and will be patrolling to see around in case there is a threat. and if there is one, they have a strategy to respond to it. i just like an out of mine is the military approach for this cup. but they want to assure football funds that every possible security aspect is being taken care of. for the 1st of all, up in the middle east. some of the java down here at the most. i naval base

aside from football, cattle, putting on a range of festivities and entertainment from more than a 1000000 fans entering the country. some of the shows on offer ambitious in scale you state of the art technology and perhaps most appealing offrey. laura can when to check out a rehearsal for a water show on dough house cornish lising up the night sky along doha skyline. the organizers welcome to kata give us a sneak preview of the water and pard technic show that putting on for the world cup. mm right now there are empty seats, but this 6 kilometers strip on the coin, each will provide entertainment for up to $70000.00 fans every day. this show is taking place on a 250 feet long water theater at the organizer. tell me it's about 2 people,

one the than the other from the way that's running together, where they must face multiple obstacles. katara is proposing itself as being a block from a welcoming tent or can't say for people from over the world to join me. and regardless of than religion, gender or whatever. so, and we conveyed this message through this, this really big war to show that has double this scale of the bellagio in las vegas and the has deaf and the has drones on us fire on us cars and the flames. the final music is cool to cool to pram. some come off the stool. ah, ah, in light you find obstacles,

and then you was held to his. they're all aware of what's happening. but then sort of the values of sports. we reconsidered we get together. we live on the organize the say the show has a simple message, despite our differences were united by the luck of the game. laura con our just, they were at the cornish in doha, ah, now in russia invaded ukraine in february. the lives of millions of people were turned upside down despite that, the national side just miss out on qualifying for the world cup as role challenge report. some are just outside keys. for many young people, football is a welcome distraction from the death and destruction when russian troops closed in on the key of suburb of e, a pin in february, searcy and arena left their apartments and fled. it was april before

russia abandoned its push on cave, and the family ventured home again. gonna miss the bottom all this up on was a mission of greeting when we return, so we found a burnout kitchen and a shall department. here other remains of a cottage. they went through 2 walls, but fortunately, did not catch fire or in warner. what can the place his uninhabitable. but others had it worse as a door to door young j, as in the just before and pin was liberated, one of the neighbors was killed and we weren't allowed to bury him immediately. his body lay next to the other captured people for several days. and it was 3 days later before he was buried in the yard rebuilding has begun. could he up him still bears deep scars at a mortar damage? sports club saggy is back to his job. teaching kids football edition, assailable. that's my job. he tells me these boys have been through hell, mike,

him many lost their homes and fled. but through the trauma and the turmoil, football was a constant. another course i swore what all of a bulls get them any believe wherever they are, the boys look for a bullying. excuse their relief in a way to distract himself. sure. foot boys their favorite thing in life. you can destroy homes and stadiums. conversely, you cannot destroy their love for football and they're going to become football players. all parents watch from the sidelines. the war goes on, but this is a semblance of normality. at least one of the eloquent to learn the children wanted to return home, meet the coach in their relatives as soon as possible. i think football is amazing . children need as much joy, fun and time with their friends as possible. and of course like millions, if not billions of people around the world,

their rise are on the world cup and cattle mcvey. unfortunately, the national team hasn't qualified for cat are 2022. so there'll be no ukraine playing there in blue and yellow. but football is still helping bring this traumatized and water country back together. and the kids know who they're supporting and go on. my favorite team is when you explain my favorite, dim england, my favorite countries, portugal zeus, rory jones, how da 0 your pin ukraine. meanwhile, richie sooner has visited ukraine for the 1st time since becoming britons prime minister. he met with president bernice lensky in keys sooner pledge his government continued support in cooling and air defense aid package, worth $60000000.00. we will stand with you until ukraine has won the peace and security it needs and deserve. and then we will stand with you as you

rebuild your great country. and i look forward to hosting a reconstruction conference in london next summer by then, let us hope that we have ended this barbarous war and secured a just peace al jazeera journal. how has more from keith when he was in and out this afternoon on an unannounced visit for obvious security reasons, making his 1st visit to cave after becoming prime minister at the end of october and falling and walking in the footsteps of course of his previous s a but one boris johnson who became the 1st foreign needed to visit keith in the early months of the war. he had a street named after him for his jokes, hugely popular. he has no word as to whether any similar offer on or is on off of the richie soon act. but he did come bearing a package of support for the $60000000.00 worth of military aid being offered by britain to ukraine, including in particular, anti aircraft guns and radar and technology were told to ward off

a taxed by drones. and that's particularly important because after 2 waves of aerial bombardment by russia just this week, 6 since october, mr. lensky said, since the 1st days of the war, ukraine and the u. k. have been the strongest of allies and more from richie soon as he described his visit as deeply humbling. he said, britain knows what it means to fight for freedom with you all the way in southern ukraine, aged supplies of being delivered to people in the city, of course, on which was retaken from russia. this month, a trained from the capital keith has arrived for uniting families after months apart. also people fred, the city, after the russian invasion and are now looking to move back. when michael sume sharif reports i hundreds of people scrambled the space as they wait to take anything being handed to them. i was desperate the months the young and old

gathered in the main square in the city, of course, on a woman handsome baby to a woman tier, as she struggles in the crowd in order good donated clothes, toys, food were diapers, and other supplies all are needed in a city now back under ukrainian control. after 9 months of occupation, 2 children help this man carry a sack of potatoes as he struggles with the load. official se russians destroyed critical infrastructure before retreating earlier this month. there's no running water, electricity, or central heating for many. life is hard, but the nightmare is over. rapid opening scope as it's doing is what scared us most was a prospect of someone who ratting you out for having a pro ukrainian position. you be taken to a prison. what if you could go outside and never come back? i was pregnant for the war. started the 1st train since rushes invasion began in

february, arrives and curse on from capital keith. it's flamboyant colors painted by low plotters reflect a mood of joy and it's time for reunions. while this father is meeting his son for the 1st time in 8 months, but the shuster, although i feel happiness was huge happiness. i will shout out to the world and glory tank rain as you ins, forces move into villages like these. they are ready to find evidence of any war crimes like they did in boucher court give and other cities after russian patrol. the village of all extended if girl was captured early on, it's been heavily mind. several people were reportedly killed by russian forces while trying to escape virtually brought the all up. we started to examine the dam . there was a tillery and water shilling. many vehicles were destroyed,

civilians died, ah, russia next the region of course on, along with 3 others in september, pledging to defend them with all available military means. but now ukrainian troops say they are here to stay. michelson sharif under sierra to malaysia. now, where preliminary results are coming in from the general election, 3 main alliance is a battling for power. it's been called the most competitive election in malicious history. the country has been played by political instability with 3 prime ministers in the last 4 years. let's go live to florence to we who's just outside quite a lamp or so. the official is also coming in foreign tower, things looking so far. well, it's really close raised between the main opposition, the lines of hope and the national alliance. now it's really a neck and neck res. sometimes the alonzo hope pulls ahead but only by 2 or 3 seats

. and this is with fewer than 10 seats left to go. these are official results from the election commission, but as many surveys had predicted, no one party is able to claim a majority in parliament. now that means the smaller parties have a chance to play king maker here, and i expect the horse trading negotiations to already be taken place behind closed doors. now there is one big surprise from the election results so far. mahathy mohammed who was prime minister of malaysia twice who came out of political retirement during the last election when he was already in his nineties to join forces with the opposition and let them to that 1st ever electoral victory. and the last election 4 years ago, he has not only lost his seat, but he has lost a deposit before because he failed to gain more than 18th of votes cast down his party, which was set up to contest in this election has not been able to win

a single seat, that was what many analysts had predicted because they were seen as a fringe party with not much chance of forming the next government. and as analysts at many votes is off pragmatic. but it is still surprised that he's not on the loss to see that he's lost in such a spectacular fashion. and so what are the implications of these initial results? joints? ah, so the alliance of hope, the main opposition is neck and neck with the national alliance. no, but the logical step is for the national alliance to form a partnership with the national front. these parties that were already working together, they were in power before parliament was dissolved and it really is just logical that they would remain in partnership so that they can remain in power. that essentially means that not only is status co mentality, but it also means that not the national front, many of its politicians, what tainted with corruption charges, they will remain powerful. now some of them may have lost that parliamentary seat,

but they still hold positions of power within the party. and if the party is back in power, that means they would still remain powerful on the other. interesting implication is that it appears many votes as continue to vote along racial and religious life, the national fund and the national alliance. if the combined they should have enough seats to formed the next government. and these are parties that champions special rights for the malay ethnic group. this is the majority group in malaysia, they form about 70 percent of the population. and it means that many voters, not only have they voted along racial and religious lines, they have rejected the oppositions proposal that the government stop giving aid based on race. but should be giving assistance based on needs that appears to have been rejected by many voters. and so it means that the divisions along racial and religious lines in malaysia continue. now the other implication is political stability, the national front and the national alliance. if they do go back into partnership

together, doesn't necessarily mean a stable government for malaysia even though they were working together. this was a partnership that was plagued by in fighting and does nothing to suggest that a 2nd attempt at this partnership is going to be more stable. thank you for that florence. we live there from just south side column for malicious capital. and still ahead on this, is there a news our is 1000000 still 100 in madagascar, we look at whitehall, who is responsible, more well kept use also a head, portugal land in contact with christiana round to hoping to. but the controversy of his majesty united cummins behind him and will tell you which team this falcon has predicted were when you 1st came up to walk up. ah sunday sees the kick off of the will camp in cutter, and

a change of weather at the moment was a line of cloud across, which is i think when you called the wind to front, it's going south. it probably won't produce any rain or any thunderstorms at all, but it will introduce this wind, which is quite a strong and dusty wind at 1st. it looked quite almost $32.00 before the day's out, temperatures will drop and that will be then the more permanent thing. the forecast . widow hobbin rather windy, dusty sunday. and then with that about 27 or 28 by day high teens by night. and although the wind is breezy on monday, it tends to die down. and you've got 5 with a bit of a hazy atmosphere, but generally fine weather, of course. and that's true of mostly ravia begins. there are few shouts briefly. you may see them there in u e o man is that cold front at which front disappears. then we're left with pretty much what you'd expect could be a little bit warmer in the eastern beds, particularly these winds come in on tuesday or wednesday. we'll see temperance lift, for example, all way from norden. egypt probably up to southern turkey, but it's nothing in the sky. the rain in central africa is still fairly heavy in

tons near parts of can you, admittedly india, congo. but the biggest, damp horse more recently have been further south. and that's coming back again. i think the eastern side or south africa in places ah, a commitment to continuously conserve its wonder is vital providing breakthrough solutions to renewable energy for an environmentally responsible future. with transformation and collaboration, indonesia urges and leave the world in moving forward as well. recovery together, recover stronger with

from propaganda and managed manipulation to the colossal consequences. the listening post reveals the powers behind the media and the impact on our lives. it's one of the biggest reasons why iraq is back at a democracy. there's no accountability on out. is iraq? ah ah, no, again, you're watching the news hour on al jazeera with me fully back. people are reminder of our top stories with kick off to the to 2022 foot. we're welcome just a day away. if heath is present johnny in front, dino is accusing western critics of hypocrisy. when it comes to cutoff,

they defended the treatment of migrant workers. saying europe should not be giving what he calls moral lessons. preliminaries also coming in for malaysia general election, the main opposition, the alliance of hope and the national alliance are running neck and neck. former prime minister match him home. it has lost his seat in what's considered a surprise result. and she's so nice has visited ukraine for the 1st time since becoming britain by minister, his promise is government's continued support, including an ad defend package worth $60000000.00. and other world news. it's been a tumultuous few days for twitter after its officers were temporarily closed, and key employees announced they were quitting as follows, and ultimate him to stop by new owner on mosque to sign up for long hours. at high intensity, he summoned the social media company software engineers for face to face meeting live together, john doe joins us from san francisco. first of all gave, do we know how many twitter employees are actually resigned?

it's really hard to tell how many twitter employees still work at their headquarters here behind me, or who work for twitter anywhere in the united states or in the world. quite frankly, the situation is so fluid and confusing because there's no public relations department . no media relations department for twitter anymore. they simply don't respond. any emails or questions, as journalists would normally do, call companies media relations departments to get this kind of information. we do know that, that we do believe, however, that there were as many as a 1000 twitter employees that walked off the job and resigned it just in the last 24 hours. so when you on musket bought the company about a month ago, twitter had about 7500 employees. she fired about half or for about half to resign . and as of about a week ago, twitter we think had about 3000 employees. and now with potentially $1000.00

walking off the job in the last 24 hours or so, you can sort of get an idea of how twitter is really working on a skeleton staff at this hour. and that's really led to some concerns and some worries on the stability of the, of the social media sites. and so what is the mosque thing about all this? well, he's been pretty erratic in his behavior, of course, but he was in the headquarters here late in the evening. he tweeted out a photo of himself with some engineers in the office. he's basically saying that he's moving forward with what he calls twitter 2 point. oh, this vision for twitter that he has, but he clearly appears to be back tracking on some of his demands that people either follow him or resign because he's been reaching out to employees that he's either fired or that if i have resigned saying, hey, come back to the office,

why to san francisco come into the office. i want to talk to you to see how we can move forward. but that's what he's saying now. but then on thursday sent out an email to the company saying no one should come to the offices here because they'll be closed. so certainly so much confusion right now with twitter on what the direction is of this company. but clearly it's going through incredible turmoil. thank you for giving any sound to live there in san francisco. let's discuss this further now with kathleen, a go on 1000 associate professor in 5 at law and technology at utrecht university. she's joining us fire cut from maastricht. thank you so much kathleen for being with us. so the hashtag breast and twitter or twitter has been trending on twitter or twitter about to go down. you think is this the end good afternoon in good evening folly. this is a something that is really on everybody's minds right now. initially this hash tag actually was created by all of the employees we heard have pretty much even either

just jumped ship or were fired. so the idea that tutor is going down has this nuance of, well, perhaps it's twitter $1.00 that is dying or it's going down. and it's turning into something that we just need to know. we do need to see how this is going to evolve because eli mosque has been doing this very interesting type of performance management. we also heard about the type of post that he has been making, has been tweeting every hour. and he has 117000000 users who are following his steps. and in my view, as someone who's working in social media influencing, i'm doing the research on that. he's basically doing something which i would call cloud chasing. so cloud chasing means you're trying desperately to get attention and to become known and being. and i think that this is what he's doing for his new managerial tendencies. caffeine, at some news organizations have announced that they're suspending all twitter activity out of abundance of caution. how concerned should we use this be about

this term? oil and, and the sudden lack of cyber security leaders and community moderators. could twitter be hacked? how do we secure our data? so it is true that we have seen that you'll rob. so one of the persons who actually left twitter is the former head of trust and safety at twitter. and in the word another author, charlton gillespie, he has been a custodian of the internet. these kind of teams doing safety and doing also security and doing content moderation. but also this, the infrastructure of security are the teams that keep us as user safe. right now everything is a little bit up in the air because there are some concern. for instance, during the world cup that twitter infrastructure is simply going to not be able to deal with all of the users who are going to be active on the platform. moreover, we also noticed that there's some activities and some not only hateful, but also some, perhaps

a cam activity has been increasing. people have been getting more scam messages and private messages on the platform. and it really remains to be seen, whether they're going to be any new hires in the next weeks that could really just continue to maintain this very much needed infrastructure that we're using. do you think we should just go ahead and delete our accounts? i don't think that is going to solve the issues. of course, there are a lot of people who are right now also just asking for their data from twitter, particularly in the european union where that is a right under the g d p r. however, i think that the next weeks are going to be really important to see where twitter is going. so is it going to be this twitter or 2.0 that you know must, once it or not? 1 may be very important consideration is that there is this link that ill on mark is doing or is considering with democracy. 17 hours ago he made

a poll about reinstating former president trump account. and he even mentioned box popularly voc days, the center of lead, the people decide that people are the voice of god. and i think that this is a very interesting development that we really need to keep our eyes on because with a new account, or let's say old accounts that will be reinstated. there will be serious concerns, not just about the cyber security and the infrastructure of the platform, but also the political speech that will be hosted therein. and that's where it's very, very important that the content moderation teams will, should be replenished. but we need to see still on the basis of what kind of content moderation policies interesting times in the thank you so much for talking to kathleen. always good to have you with us on out of the country medical i'm to live a no tract. now twitter isn't the only problem in on mass mosque has his electric car company test is recalling hundreds of thousands of vehicles in the us. more

than 320000 model 3 and model. why cars with possible 40 tail lights are effected. the company says he has no reports of any accidents related to the to nepal now, which is due to hold federal elections on sunday. hundreds of parliamentary seats are being contested. veteran politicians are considered the front runners, but they are more independent candidates than ever before. barnaby know, has more from a katmai until a last ditch effort to woo voters, schuman sammy joined, supporters on a bike, right around kaufman, do or he's running for a seat in parliament will stutter did it. but if it went to go, systems have changed many times. but people circumstances, evans improved, that isn't, is dec. i use the same legacy. and now it's important to break that legacy on line . a campaign called no, not again, as in no to traditional politicians has gained traction in local poles in may.

a number of candidates from major political parties last to independence. one of the biggest winters wrapper and now mir cartman, do berlin shaw? the growing movement is being referred to a subaru in effect, un net out of the thing we need young leaders. the or leaders haven't done anything we want to give the young people attain over 10 administrations have come and gone since the end of the monarchy in 20 o 8. the top contenders have served as prime minister multiple times, and none of the parties that have one elections have finished their 5 year term. there are more than 2400 candidate is buying for 100. 65 directly elected parliament seats of that number more than 800 are running us independence. that's to record for elections that 4 years have been dominated by well entrenched the politicians. what is too early to tell whether the political tide is turning so young he is competent, the victory. but analysts say the new comers may be popular in the cities and among
