well, i can tell you, the jerseys are starting to run out here in this stall, pretty soon. in fact, this is going to look like one huge yellow branch, the people of gaiety. and i had a pretty tough time over the last couple of years. first, there was the pandemic, then the rise in crime and now the state of emergency precisely during the world cup. but they are excited, none the less, and they're going to be at least 2 impromptu fan fests being organized by football clubs in the city. one in the north and one in the south where we're expecting thousands of people to gather. and they say, hopefully do or celebrate the victory over guitar in the opening match. now in russia and vetted ukraine in february, the lives of millions of people were turned upside down. despite that, the ukranian national teen just missed out on qualifying for the world cup. as were a challenge, reports on at a pin just outside, keep for many young people. football is a welcome distraction from the wall. when russian troops closed in on the key of

of north africa. algeria seen some heavy rain to nicea as well. windy conditions as well. for libya, we might see a thunderstorm or to pop off for the ivory coast as we go into monday. but much of the wet weather has shifted its way further south was in some heavy falls for gab bond, as well as western areas of tanzania on sunday. and that way, whether that has been moving its way through south africa, edge's up into mozambique and into madagascar. if we have a look at the 3 day 4 and 10 in a river, thunderstorms through tuesday. but the temperature vary war to with sponsored, by catchall, a ways there was a time to be direct. there basically on the verge of legalizing racial, jerry battery to cut through the rhetoric. this isn't a universal death already crisis. the seems to be one of particular populations to dismantle the sound bites. there are lots and lots of women are widely agenda, a kind of anti feminist agenda and demand the truth. those the size of fascism. we

have to really recognize what we're off of yet. we are determining what is the future of democracy in this country. join me markham on hill, for up for what al jazeera. ah ah, woke up i took her to mind about top stories here on al jazeera. it's now less than 12 hours before kickoff for the 1st football world cup in the middle east. more than a 1000000 fans are expected and kept all over the next 4 weeks with us games on sunday, between the house nation cut on fee for president johnny. and found tina was accusing some western countries up hypocrisy. when it comes to cattle. he defended the treatment of migrant workers, saying europe should not be giving what he calls moral lesson. well,

there are lots of events happening all around doha, on sunday. let's go to nora. com to john's, been now from the coordinator, nor was to tell us what the found could expect down there on the sea from today. or just to give you an idea, i am indeed at the seas bronze down. i'm standing in front of the whale sign as you can see along here and i right in front of a giant buckets hatch. now we'll have the 1st minister of wales, mark drake. that will be heading down here to have the official launch of this insulation behind me. a bit has a real symbolic meaning for welsh fans. you will see a see of red and green if you go to any of the group stages at starting on monday with wells versus usa, you'll see many people wearing bucket hats and included in those are some fans i've bumped into at 7 a ham or 10 past 7 on the cornish, so with me,

i had was fans. so what are you doing here so early on the cornish? i'm still reading the book in to where we're hotel. we be the assist 2 o'clock this morning. or you've been here very early. what does it mean for you being here in doha to watch whales? us childhood dream for me just to see my country play in a world cup and, you know, just had to be a full it's, it's been a childhood dream. yeah. tell me the last time well says in the walk up. 1958. 195864 years ago. i believe before we will go the surgery before they were born. so do you expect wales will do well in this world cup? oh, they were hopefully we don't expect them to get a little a group, but we live in eugene, oregon. so we're good. you're very proud about being here. yeah. do

you have bucket hats? yes. so what's the symbolic meaning of the bucket? hot basically. so the symbol of the welsh purple, i'm sad to many years ago and it's just grown. and basically you'll see, well, a lot of girls everyone was able to love a book to that. so. but thank you so much. and you told me you had for bucket hats that right? um 555 bucket hurts when i take it, you'll be wearing the bucket here. when look you run that. i'm sure he has his one that lucky bucket hat that he will be wearing here. now the, the concept to the bucket hot came from a tiny little town called bala in north wales. and it was there at the spirit of 1958 that for last time wells was in the world cup in the euro. cop in 2016. he saw a sea of people wearing these bucket hats, so it's a real symbol of pride for the welsh fan. all right,

an oregon there on the cornish life rest. laura, thank you. now after long delay and negotiations that lasted went into the night, leaders at cop 27 have reached a deal to help vulnerable countries. it would require wealthy nations to compensate poor ones for the lawson damage caused by climate change. but an overall agreement is yet to be finalized as countries debate emission reduction. i've also been discussing a target to limit global warming. some members want to keep a go at 1.5 degrees celsius. polls have opened in the pool for a general action described as a 2 horse race, the routing, the poly congress and the communist party at front runners. that pulls had 13 different administrations in the last 16 years. but a below has more natural cap managers. there's definitely more citizen participation. now there's more awareness. there's more people speaking out, especially with the advent of social media. there is a campaign online right now. that's called a known dot again,

where voters are urging other boulders to not vote for the old faces. they say that these old guards, these old politicians have been promising and promising, but they have not been able to deliver on their promises. so they want new blood in government. and in fact, back in major in local polls, independent candidate candidates, did when big and specifically here in cartman do a 32 year old wrapper. ballin shaw won the mayor ship and this has really encouraged a lot of candidates to in the ban independently throw their hat into the ring. but the question now is past is gained enough traction past is gained enough popularity? this movement and animals are saying that this is not yet enough. this is not yet the time for complete change. here in de paul, they said this is going to take time. that right now people are still going to go out to vote for traditional politicians, especially in the countryside, where

a legacy voting is the way to go. where people are going to vote for who their community leaders are going to say. who they're going to vote for and we're elders are going to say, this is who they're supposed to vote for. and so it will take time, but there is hope for change. now malaysia is facing a hung parliament after a tightly contested general election delivered no clear when opposition leader on. while abraham says his coalition has enough support to form a government, his rival and former prime membership, him yes, it has also claimed a when the country been plagued by political instability with 3 prime ministers in the last 4 years of florence. louis joins as live now from calling them for florence said with no clear majority, who's like it's a form and you government then that's right. to live it, we take a closer look at the results, the main opposition block, the alliance of hope. now they have a t 2 seats in parliament that puts them the biggest block,

but that's still not enough feats to form a simple majority. not only that, that few seats, and they had gained in the last elections in 2018, which means the opposition hasn't managed to increase its supports. now the da cause of this race is the national alliance lead by we didn't. yes. and the main parties in this alliance or the malaysian islamic party, which supports islamic law, and also proceed to a party that champions keeping special rights for the malays. that dominant ethnic group in this country who are all muslims. now, the horse trading at the negotiations has already started. we didn't, yes in is in saw like he's met with a strong leader that so the parties that are based in the bornea states of saba and straw log, they've long been considered junior parties in pos coalitions. but they are now in a position to play king maker and as a result stand the 2 strongest contenders to form the next government all on way brought him the leader of the opposition. and we did yes. in a former prime minister who leads the national alliance, but really depends on,

you know, the negotiations which are taking place at the moment away from the horse trading problems. what are the main issues that the voters have been concerned about in the run up to the election? so according to surveys that were conducted before the elections and also according to the people we had spoken to on the day of the polls, economy, the economy and corruption with the 2 biggest concerns. many people talked about political stability and the country has been taked by political instability with, you know, 3 prime ministers in the past 4 years to administrations collapsing because of in fighting. but if the same parties worked together again to form the next government, the same party that been in power before parliament was dissolved, then some issues will still remain including political instability. because that partnership, even though they were working together for over 2 years, they still were beset by in fighting. not only that, that means the national front,

many of whom the top leaders have been tainted with corruption charges. they will still form part of government if there's partnership work together again. now, one more thing to bear in mind is looking at the results. the malaysian islamic party has managed to make strong gains. they've managed to double the number of seats that they got in the last election. and there's also largely means that malaysia malaysians rather voted along racial and religious lines. and that means that in this multi cultural country, the divisions between race and religion will largely remain or fluently live. first the in calling about florence. thank you for my us president. donald trump has a twitter account. again, the company's new owner must says he's reinstating trump to be social media platform. announcement came soon off, an online poll which showed him not a majority, wanted trump back musket knowledge that automated butts were voting, but didn't say how often from was suspended from the social media service in 2021 for inciting violence. but he's not committed to returning to the pencil. you were

getting a big load to also go back on twitter or i don't see it because i don't see any reason for it. or they have a lot of problems at twitter. you see what's going on. it may make it, it may not make it, but as it problems are incredible, the engagement sir negative and you have a lot of bots and you have a lot of fake accounts which i think they should get on. but true, socialist taken the place for a lot of people and i don't see them going back on to twitter. madagascar of famine last year was said to be the world's 1st disaster induced by climate change. some disagree with that assessment. instead, blaming poverty and poor governance, either way, millions of people are facing acute hunger out as there was nic clark report. some errata in southern madagascar. when crops consistently failed, you take what you can find. who cares if normally only cattle in cactus and boiled up? it fills a gap for a while. the hatton was as on a t and it had been

a toddler pool. dick, she, she, the village is in a very bad situation. no food, no water. i that is the biggest issue in this region and we need help to solve this because people are living on cactus. that's all there is a her in the regional capital of amber von bay. a woman has brought her 7 month old daughter to hospital after she became seriously ill with diarrhea and vomiting to hon. it's 0. i the i how may i live on the market? look at them in every day. it was the peak of along the road like with cactus fruits. yeah, i'm exhausted and i just can't breastfeed my baby because i'm so hungry. i have no make him a blessing them. if there is no food, you just look what i and slim in here in the malnutrition unit, they're preparing for big influx in december and january. we're going into what it's called the, the lean season. so it's a time when it's very difficult for families to grow their own food harvester on

food. there's a lack of rainfall we expect cyclones to start appearing sometime in the new year. and so this is the time and families are really forced to forage for food. and so there are estimates that around $480000.00 children between now and february, april of next year, may need to be treated for acute now nutrition. ah, not that the food isn't there in above always market, you wouldn't think times are hard, but these goods mostly imported into the region and spiraling prices, push them well out of reach of the poor. hundreds of thousands across madagascar depend on outside support from the likes of water aid in the world food program. here the government is delivering 1st loads from seeds to farm and they need all the help they can get. but it has no rain, no amount of fertilizer will help. i'm the melodic is on a deed made the whole law. our soil is fertile when there's no rain things on this,

cassandra di, i think in the future it will be a desert hair. i think the next generation will have nothing really that will tie young. now the un cool, the simon here back in 2021. the 1st time and pause in the world. certainly by climate change. but a lot of people disagree with that. they say it's down to poor governance and to poverty. the truth, i think it's a combination of all 3 climate change that it's wreaking havoc around the world. quoting devastation here in madagascar poverty, 90 percent of medic, gaskins. live in poverty and poor governance inside and outside the country. i think for the people though, it's all irrelevant for them these times simply known as katie, the hung nick clark al jazeera iraq. ah.
