the referee played advantage. but then gave the penalty. valencia equity ahead and a half hour. it was to valencia getting a 2nd going into half time, but at the more he that he did get a site to go, but couldn't the net the 2nd with again, not to be better now face a challenge to get out of their group. and with that, the drama begins for the fans. they can job years to get to a journey brought with challenges from a grueling brigade your global pandemic from building the infrastructure for an entire nation delivering stadiums on time. this is the day which marks overcoming all of those challenges and the fee for woke up and other has officially begun from

a majority that dedira dawn. well, the tournament has transformed areas of a katara capital into fans more than a 1000000 people are expected to visit the country during the world cup. lexia brian as an out meeting fans in squawking a with i'm hearing a lot right in the same or as doha with fans come from the world and captains like this population to get involved in the past. the atmosphere with st. brazillian chairs, the rainy and flags with infinity and fans with drums. everybody's getting down yet and having a great time in

a in the way. when know, pretty sick. you mean well often tina firstly because the people don't even 90 percent of the people who support us and then because of the 2 gods, the 1st is in this kind of marriage or not. the 2nd on the ground is messy. we are all brothers here. oh wow, that didn't oh, i see very proud of my country and how we are competition over these 12 years. and i welcome people from other nationalities to come and see what have you. a beautiful country. as a result, a, everybody here had been blockage, denied, and they came together to celebrate each other. and to celebrate

with you in special robert, you are on the human rights and me and my urging soul to consider applying sanctions on the country's military rulers. tom ambrose is in south korea. he met with government officials and companies with interest in me and mom. we can speak to tom now. he joins us live from the south korean capital tom, good job. you with us. tell us a bit more briefly about your mission to south korea. why south korea, what more pressure do you think soul can bring to bear on the minute magenta, in terms of support for human rights and democracy? well, korea has a very vibrant economy. it's a very, very important nation here in asia. it also has direct connections to ashi on the association, southeast asian nations. so it both diplomatically and economically is a very important country. in addition to that, there are significant financial investments and economic activity businesses doing operations, conducting operations right now in me and more. and so there is

a direct link, economically, diplomatically and also, you know, i've talked to many people here. there's a real, heartfelt connection between many here in korea and the people of me and more it was may 18th of 980 in which young people largely lead a nationwide revolt against a military dictatorship. so there's a lot of identity between the people of korea and the struggling people of me and i'm tom. last week we sold the release of 5700 political prisoners in may. and maud, did this come as a surprise to you, and what do you think was behind this move by the gentle, why now do you think? well, it's propaganda. i mean, what they're, of course, it's good that these people were released, particularly these political prisoners. they should never have been detained in the 1st place. it was outrageous. but i think what there is with, with, with us young leaders meeting apec meeting with the eyes of the, of the world on me and more. they have

a pattern of then responding in ways such as releasing political prisoners. they did it last year. but here's the thing. even just like last year, i've already been receiving reports of those 2 people detained last week in this well publicized release. already have been re arrested and within 24 hours of that event, we had our heavy artillery raining down on a village in our current state, in which at least 10 people were killed, including 2 children participating in a, in a child's naming ceremony. so the brutality continues, but what we're seeing is an attempt to try to convince the world whose attention is diverted, that things are getting back to normal in me and what we should not be following for this propaganda ploy. blessed us broaden this out a little bit on the un high commissioner of human rights michelle batch elaine. her recent report said that the appalling breadth and scale of violations of international law suffered by the people of me and my demand. the firm, unified and resolute international response. why do you think we haven't seen this

unified chorus or response from the international committee? why hasn't been much stronger reaction? the appalling abuse as we continue to see in me and my what you've just described. darren it's, it's a very, very good question, and i wish i had an answer for this. the secretary general of the united nations just last week describe the world's response to the crisis b, m r as a failure. that was, those were his words and he's in, he's absolutely right. there are things that can be done to support the people that me and more here. you know, korea joined a coalition of 28 nations to impose sanctions on russia very soon after the invasion of ukraine. strong economic sanctions on financial institutions in russia . the people with me and more have asked me look that it took just a few days for international action to stand up and support the people that you crying. why is it that the same action cannot be taken or even

a small percentage of that action be taken with respect to me and more? it's a very good question, frankly, there and i don't have an answer to it, but i'm going to do everything i can in business to countries such as korea, to encourage the world to do. tom, just a final thought from you that you and human rights. he says the will of the me and my people has not been broken there, remain committed to seeing a return to democracy. but let me ask you, is not just wishful thinking because the fact is, the conflict, the brutality but human rights abuses just getting worse on them and how hopeful are you that will ever see a return to democracy and be in law? well again, it's a very, very good question. you exactly do. i conditions continue to the church in the country, but here's the thing. the reforms that were overthrown illegally by this hunter last year were put in place. not because the authorities, the military authorities suddenly felt that human rights were, and democracy was a good thing. they were created precisely because of the international pressure. it

worked. so i think the key here is to learn from history for the world to be strategic focused. apply strong economic measures, apply strong diplomatic measures, don't by the propaganda from me and more. and in a you can find way imposed the pressure that's going to be required to get them to back off and realize that this assault on the people that me and mark is simply not only wrong but unsustainable. tom. andre is really good to get your for. thank you very much indeed for your insight on analysis. thank you tom. thank you. darren. now votes have been counted in the pool, often millions voted in a general election on sunday. a final result though, could take weeks. rising cost of living and poor job prospects are at the front of many people's minds. on a below has more from kat mandate. the early hours of federal and provincial elections in nepal and a steady trickle of voters. casting your ballads at pulling stations across kaufman do is to 2nd time nepalese voted under

a constitution approved in 2015. this time, thousands of candidates are taking part a significant number, not allied would major coalitions, independent candidates have been doing weight, his time to give the youth attends anywhere again, gone as a candidate. but because it's a party stump, people at baki affiliate since. so the parties will win with big no party. that's one election in nepal has finished. it's 5 year term to do power struggles. then company prime minister, sure bothered, dubai, has been in to post 5 times his main rival, k, p sharma. only 3. and both are running again for the top post. it's shaping up to be a 2 horse race between the ruling nepalese congress and the main opposition party united marxist lenin is both of held power in the past decade and a half or so. and are making the same old promises deposit economies struggling to recover after inflation reached nearly 9 percent. the pandemic exposed flaws in its

public health care system. and basic services are still inaccessible to many in rural areas. and to say, this partly explains a surprise victory for new commerce in local pulse, in may, it was on part of that. the independent voting block would infringe the proportional representation because they would not have the mason white influence. but what has happened, you know, the, the influence of this newcomers are an ottoman space where you have a more population these days. so the major parties may be assured of directly elected seats under the proportional representation system. 110 may swing to independence. 40 we just feel it more candidate would definitely get more. what if anything was well, i saw it by the congress. led coalition is likely to have more sits. but i am. i still have a doubt that there will be single handedly able to form the government. social

media in urban ization may have changed to landscape of their police politics. but most borders are hoping that whoever gets the majority will have their best interests at heart barn. below al jazeera cut, men do for short break here now to 0. when we come back it may not be the best it's . it's the beginning. a historic climate deal comes out of cop $27.00 for developing nations, but scientists on the world is still on track for disaster. and could one of the world's best footballers finally bring home the world? come, we'll take it to leonor message hometown in argentina mana state. ah, anticipation is rising. and so is the atmosphere. are you ready for the way sponsored my cattle aways. hello, there's

a chance to some rain for the football and cats are over the next couple days is a small chance we got this band of cloud just around the northern sections of the golfing. more so into southern areas over up pushing across q. wait, but i cloud may just be thick enough to to scrape the far north of carter as we go on through the next couple of days of greater significance is the shamal when talking in behind. so we going from the low thirty's to the high twenties as we go one through monday. those winds will he's back or touch it is going to be breezy, lifted dust and sand, the wind to lease back. as we go on through changed, i need to see the chart about where to weather just to the north of the peninsula. there may be up towards bahrain elsewhere is going to be largely try with plenty of hazy sunshine are not quite proper football weather, but chances, some rain nevertheless, just wanted to show us just around the straits of he moved much of birth. some potential will be dry, marshy dry up towards the la vance as well, although we'll see some wet weather coming in here. as you make away into the middle part of the week, temperatures ahead of that. on the rise logic dry across north africa,

although we will see increasing wind and rain coming to northern parts of morocco. will the merest of algeria may be true. nicea most of hazy sunshine for much of west africa, but a few shares for the coast. the weather sponsored by a cat on a ways. what happens when the news media failed to do their job? it's one of the biggest reasons why iraq is not yet a democracy. there's no accountability. the listening host exposes the power is controlling the narrative. russian media does the lot of favorably, his message has to be back by the whole propaganda for apple and the tools they used to do it. how do you read through all of them? information found you determine what is diss and for you with the listening post your guide to the media on al jazeera. ah

ah, welcome back with your might about top stories here. this our, the 1st world cup held in the middle east as kicked off in cattle with a star studded opening ceremony at to morgan freeman gave a theatrical performance on inclusion. while k pop superstar john cook was the musical headline, the un special rapture on human rights and me and mark is in south korea urging more be done to address the crisis in the country. tom andrews is appealing for sanctions on the military genta which sees power in a 2021 and ballot. so being counted in the pool after millions voted in the general election on sunday. a final result could take weeks. many hope that a new government will bring political stability and help with development and inconclusive general election in malaysia has produced the country's 1st ever hung parliament saturdays, tightly contested election left major parties,

unable to secure enough votes to form a new government. rival leaders. now scrambling to broaden fed coalitions will florence nearby joins us now from the malaysian capital. call it import florence. we understand the national front party as just tell the news conference. what came out of that? that's right. well, there was an expectation that the leader of the national front would announce which side his party would be joining. but in the end there was no such announcement. instead he said, but the individual members of parliament from the national front are not allowed to sign any declarations, affirming their support for any parties. he says that the national front will have to decide as a block. now there is, am speculation that the national front may work with the opposition lead by it on why it brought him. this is the at the lions of hope opposition. if they do work together, it would be an unusual partnership because these 2 parties have been on opposing

sides of the past elections. but it isn't so unusual because they have also announced that they will be working together at the local level. these 2 sides will be coming together to form the state government in the 2 states of pair up and perhaps so it could very well be conceivable that they will be working together to form the federal government. but as yet we don't have the announcement. instead, the national brand has said that they want to seek an extension because the palace has given leaders of parties until 2 pm on monday afternoon to submit names for their prime minister old candidates. but the national front leader is saying that they met, that they will need more time and they may even need up till tomorrow. now the speculation has arisen that they would work together with the alliance of hope, the opposition, because these 2 sides met earlier on monday, france just briefly. i mean, how unusual is this level of political uncertainty in malaysia?

do you think some people have lost faith in the political system? it's unusual because there's never been a home parliament in malaysia. and that's chiefly because in much of the early years of malaysia's formation as a country, there was really only one party that was very strong politically. and this is the national front. it ruled the country for more than 60 years until it was defeated in the 2018 elections. we have the opposition that's been making steady gains in the last 10 years. and it was briefly in power from 2018 to 2020 until it was toppled by in fighting and defections. so that's been political instability since 2020. but i don't think people have lost faith in the political system. in fact, the emergence of a 3rd contender, the national alliance that has managed to emerge as the 2nd largest block in parliament after the recent elections. many see this as a sign of democracy at work. yes,

it means though now parties will have to scramble, as you said, to find em to, to strike alliances and the horse trading the negotiations. they've been ongoing. so there is pressure on politicians to come up with alliances to form a government. but it really is the results of this elections. it really is a proof that democracy is at work. france. thank you. con con, chief executive, john lee has tested positive cobra. 19 after returning home from the apec forum and thailand, lee returned for negative results during his stay in the capital, bangkok he was promoting hong kong as open for business of the asia pacific summit . after more than a year of strict pundum at rules. response one says lee is working from home. a historic deal has been struck at the u. n's cop 27 summit negotiate as have agreed to compensate poor nations, which have been hit hardest by the impact of climate change. but many countries are leaving the meeting in egypt saying the world is still heading for disaster.
