started late 2019. it was very normal as the the current set of the ones are very close to the church border from time to time at turkish army. it's always me. and from the other, the other side, a kurdish forces also find some real quick for the turkish men. but usually they were hitting the rural areas of the farm. basically this is the 1st summers residential area has been here for nearly 2 and a half years or something. and a primary school has been hit and is to the why fi jewel the claims. but the truth is a forced to target the, their own civilian settlements, doing as a reparation conducted by the turkish army. many expect that these kinds of buyers may probably continue listening because they're reporting from it's stumbled on

the past year in indonesia. what is important to note is the depth and the location . the fact that this earthquakes at the center was on land and not at sea. so far, authorities have said that there is no potential for a su nami, and they are still gathering the facts on, on the scene. but there are some difficulties that local authorities are facing a short while ago. we heard from the local regent of change or heard of. and so how to men who said that it is rather a dire situation because many roads are blocked and hundreds are injured. and, and local authorities estimate that some thousands of houses may potentially be damage. some social media footage shows people bleeding, not only injuries on their bodies, but also in their faces as well. a hospital mosques, schools reportedly also damage now in specifically relating to casualties and fatalities. what is important to note is that this is still a developing situation and as is often the case with disasters in indonesia,

there may be some differing figures. in this instance we have local authorities on the ground. thank some 40 people dead, but for now we will just have to go with the numbers provided by the division to exhaust mitigation board. and they say that 17 people are dead. but we do expect to hear from local authorities in a press conference in the coming minutes. jessica, thank you very much. that's what we can report on this rapidly developing story at this hour. you'll keep us apprised of any developments as they come it. ah, we all right, we pivot to the world cup, some delights and a dash of despair as a star studded opening. sorry. we ushered in the 1st before world cup in the middle east's, with hosts could tar who couldn't keep the magic alive on the pitch. however,

people of all origins, nationalities, religions, and beliefs will meet hearing cutter and on tv screens around the world on all the continents to participate in these incredible moments. it's a beautiful thing for people to put their differences aside to celebrate the diversity and unity at the same time. ah, the 2022 will come on the way it didn't start well for the hosting side. and she charged off his lines and, and a valencia had it in but via rule that out for a narrow, offsite 15 minutes in al, she's busy, we'll begin catching valencia 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 fraud with challenges from a grueling blockade to a global pandemic from building the infrastructure for an entire nation to 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 of era report. he continued for ecuador fans after their opening triumph or latin america to lucy newman, was with supporters in wire kill. then you know, wait over,

they are not most of the people that live this now your stadium on their, on their way to get a new way a possibly can. yeah, we have one of the players a celebrate a goal. they're going to show us a drug trafficking and my criminal gangs, a admission from ron's captain just before their opening match against england today

. that conditions or not right in his country on her stuff. he was referring to the month long protests following the death in police custody of 22 year old mazda and then on the for the banking camera in the name of god of frame bows. i want to 1st express my condolences to old brief iranian families and want them to know that we are standing by them and sympathize with dorsey jabari is in to her on with more on what the iranian captain has been saying. s on hard sophie, the iranian football team's captain started off as press conference in doha on sunday by using the phrase that was used by a 10 year old key on peer fellow who died last wednesday in ongoing demonstrations . there. he acknowledged for the 1st time veterans national team is behind, the radian nation and the families that are grieving as a result of ongoing protests which are now in their 10th week. many of the players

have not made any reference to the demonstrations in this country, but the captain, for the 1st time, using the occasion to say that that the team is behind the people of iran. we have heard from a number of former, well known iranian players who have decline to attend the world cup as a result of ongoing events in the country saying they're rather be inside or on that to show their solidarity with a nation at the coach. carlos curos has said that the team is going to leave politics outside of football. this is the 3rd time the former manchester united and real madrid coach will be with the iran national team in doha, who ranks 20th and fif. during this event. they are hoping to succeed, at least in scoring one goal with when they play against england. later on monday, the captain saying that they are ready and they've been practicing and they feel

that they are well equipped to take on the england team is less than 3 hours. so kick off in the math between england and iran. paul brennan is with fans and london port. what's the, what's the buzz where you are on the buzz is cold and wet. i have to say it's a bit of a difference to what it's like at the cali fans. and i saw stadium i'm an unborn because we're so far ahead. and if a monday morning, a working day here in england, there isn't there on hordes of fans running through the streets in expectation of a really good game against your aunt today. what there is though is realization that this world cup is finally under way, and we've come to what finchley, it's an area of north london where there's a pretty sizable iranian community here. there are 80000 iranians in the u. k as a whole. many of them have been here for decades, and i was just curious as to whether that loyalty would be divided on given the situation back home in iran. and given the fact that they've been here in the u. k . for so long, we've happened upon a, it's

a sory bakery kind of general store here. the owner is reza rosa. come and talk to you. first of all, the match itself. i'm, what is your expectation for the performance of the iran seen today? actually, you know, oh my, the iranian, we don't support iranian to you because they don't support aust, i'm good also for the on your to you and these just supple, brutish england here. really? yeah. okay. homier, i mean, is that, is that as the results of the political situation back in iran, yet because this of the regime on vito support the resume under to my understanding was there was a couple of the around players who will know singly national anthem. but the rest of the team will, will stay silence and they may not even celebrate any goals that they score it. yeah, exactly at the delivery thing, or even this very thing bonded on, you know, our team didn't have a good feeling. yeah. though. and is that sense of been shared with, with your friends here as well?

yeah, i think lee, yeah, yeah. we don't support other people. we don't some hold on him before them. yeah. it's still her voice and honestly depend for today if this a portal today. all right, this is completely different. how would you expect the around team to show solidarity with, with you the people? honestly, all you don't, i don't know. you know, boy, we have to see something, you know, because the people did going into iran and they have to do something, you know, each of us and they have to do something. i don't know which way or how. busy i don't know, and so i was asking you whether you think that iran have a chance of beating a gland if you're simply not supporting the team. we don't know yet, although set to use the paying for to day. if this opp or thought, the one i stay very throwing in. oh for them. if not, they don't support them. yeah. very interesting. okay. well, i mean, well there you go. i was gonna ask them about whether they thought a ram had a chance. i was going to ask them about whether they thought the round put for the 1st time since 5 appearances in previous world cups actually get out of the group

stage because they've never done that before. they get through to the knockout days . but you can hear this particular group of iranian diaspora radian sort of dissidence. i suppose. you can call them now, ah, simply, i'm very angry about to pay a simply a very angry about the way that the iran team isn't showing solid enough solidarity with the situation back home. and after the death of miss armine full, thanks so much for taking us into that conversation. and it just shows us that, you know, it is, it is complex and people have mixed feelings. and it also shows us that politics and this happens that all these world cups in politics do get, do get thrown into the football more often than not foreground. and thank you so much. cather 2022 will be remembered for a number of 1st, 1st, middle east in finals, the 1st to be held in the northern hemisphere winter. and to be the 1st time england have ever played iran at men's at senior level and is going to be quite the contest. hi, i'm samantha johnson, and this is wealth. help one

o 1. 1 reason iran and england have never met is iran's inability, at least so far to get themselves out of the wealth cuts gleick stages 5 times that qualifies and 5 times they've fallen. the 1st hurdle that be hoping to put that trend with a little bit of help from an unlikely source. portugal for 2 reasons. one, this autumn, they re hired their long time coach, hollis garage. iranians love him, they see him as the most successful national coach. and they'll be looking to him to get the very best out of their star score. a b had aly and his portuguese linked number 2 today. me and loved him because he city ho, this prolific goals go and help them win a cup. and example, as were england's they'll be relying on their captain, how he came. he's developed a reputation for being one of the worlds most dependable is 4 years ago in russia. he schooled more roles than anyone else. but coach gala southgate also has

a very soft spot for this man to kind of suffer hugely is on the pitch hugely likable on back gate when his part to say that if your daughter brings the higher home, be more than happy suckers. mom and dad moved to england from nigeria for in the yorba language, how you mean in fans will be gone him doing exactly that? ah, a football fans in the netherlands and germany are divided on how to support their team during the world cup. doug streets are turning orange, but some people are or boy calling the tournament after accusations of court working conditions for migrant laborers in guitar. set bass and reports from the hague. twice they won the title for the most beautiful orange street in the netherlands. now they're aiming for a 3rd time for the past 5 weeks, danny and the theme on swiftness and their neighbors have been decorating their street in the hague trying to break their own record by putting up 50 kilometers of

orange flax, vice and pharmacy. we are fanatical supporters of the orange team. we believe in the netherlands. we believe in coach louis van how this year. it just has to happen and it will. we will be the next well champions. last year, king william alexander visited their street to handle with a special st sign that the king is hauling this time. and we standing on that this box. and again, give it the, the thing to us and we have require like, like child, we had to, the dutch team never won the world cup, although it made it to the final 3 times in 197478, and lost in 2010 but their supporters had never given up hope. while orange we read on the rise. the mood is different here. this world cup, some blame is on the season. the tournament should be held during the northern summer, but of a troubled by accusations or for labor conditions. and the host nation cut back

some has called for a boycott of the world cup by not putting on public viewings in bars and restaurants. several servers in germany have shown that a majority of those asked, i'm in favor of such a boy called to bias upping as a bar owner in bond who has decided not to show any matches. he said it's enough. the number of workers killed stadiums that are air conditioning during times like these. and you can't even drink a beer, which for me as a bar obviously is a part of it. no, we cannot longer support supporters in the orange street in the have. i don't agree with such a boycott if you ask me if i few bad people dying day, of course we do that. i think it's more political or political thing. when they play, we do this. if they, if they want to, boy go there, then the cars would be shooting to send them. while the dutch team has left for katara, as it ends up orange street appearing for their 1st woke up in winter,

hoping that the achievements of their idols will be enough to keep them warm, steadfast, and al jazeera. they hate sending a striker. saudi money is out of action with a knee injury much to the disappointment of his bands and his family back home in the village of bali. as nicholas hack discovers to them, he's more than a football player. he's a role model where the river meets the ocean in senegal, sinay, saloon, delta lies the village of somebody hometown of a football giant sod yamani. this is where it all started for him on this pitch, playing without boots or shin guards, money would skipped school in practice, day and night, hour after hour, determined to be faster, stronger, and more agile constantly challenging himself, hoping to follow in his footsteps is 13 year old yet a grimace. yolando and he had gone side. yeah. i want to become like sadie of money

and become a big pay us so that one day people will watch me on tv and a full stadium. recall my name meola. it is from bumbling to liverpool. and on to munich, money made history, leading senegal to victory at the africa cup of nations. but a recent injury to his knee means he's not in cutter with the lions of tauranga. it's as if bumble he is in mourning, praying for money and for the national tor homes that his childhood friend is overwhelmed with emotion. it's really painful to realize as that a style like schedule monday would not play just well come. it's a blow to the entire nation. he then addresses money. so i do those, the sideshow, if you are listening, i hope that god protects our support to you or he'll, we are here for you in the future. and he is here for them. money has built a hospital schools, a fuel station,

he's brought electricity to bum bally and wants to pave the roads at religious celebrations. he contributes to each household, sondra. money's using his wealth to change the lives of his people and well he'll be absent for this world cup. his legacy goes beyond football to what he does off the pitch. and that's an example that young people here want to follow don't. it's less the theme of football and more the desire to give back that motivates these young players, the dream of one day representing their country. oh, together they chant for the national tea. a traditional song used as a rite of passage. oh, don't be afraid. they think there is nothing to lose move forward. victory is to come. oh, nicholas hunk, al jazeera, bumbling, cynical,

or in the spring and weather presenter ever been forced to play into the coverage here and give us the forecast. but mondays matches everything where we're looking actually pretty kids as sarah was a hint of right in the forecast. but it won't be a problem. you take a look at the satellite pit, you can see that band of cloud, that little ribbon a cloud, they're just rolling across saudi arabia, through the gulf and on into iran at flirts with us over the next couple of days. i suspect of more significance really will be the when he can see how that gets stretched out. there may be a shower or 2 on that as we go on through the remainder of the day, it should stay away from us. so take a closer look at what's going on. this is the situation then you can see as we go on through tonight and on into to morrow, the refuse showers lurking around just to the north and to the east of us. as we go through our wedding day, that will make its way a little further northwards. one thing to note though, temperatures of around 2728 degrees, much cooler than it has been recently. comfortable weather for today's games. england around $26.00 celsius a cause of

a touch. of course. the senegal netherlands a little late running the day, and it should be come to be pleasant for the usa and wales. by the end of the day, sir. all right, is a lot more head on this use our including more sports coverage on day 2 of the fee for world cup. plus, we'll look at why new zealand parliament will be debating whether to lower the voting age to 60 ah, what we did open the show with breaking news out of turkey and we want to bring you more on that reports that to rockets have hit a border area in the southern part of the city will resume resorts 3rd or is our correspondent in a stumble, but you're in doha at the moment. so we're actually really fortunate to have you on set. and what can we make of what's going on? is this the beginning of a new cycle of violence between turkey and kurdish rebels? well, it is an escalate tree process if we just look at what happened in the last week.

it's a mind blowing fast paced our escalation. so on november 13, there was a bond that an 8th it a by a city national in istanbul. so the government was creek to blame. m y p g, the kurdish armed of rebels in north and syria. and as it had to have carried it out. so just 3, these later we have seen that turkey are conducted a huge military campaign or a tags, a coordinated attacks over northern syria and also in iraq in syria was y p g that was targeted and in iraq, p k, k. so and then we have seen a retaliation coming from y p g, a firing some rockets and enduring aid security officers right off the debt. for more rockets in the town of car comes in ga santa, which is very much close to the syrian border. and then today they have been, according to the official 7 rockets have been fired to the same town and it killed

3 people, one child, one teacher and one adult and injured 6 other people as well. so we can see that it is a very much escalate re processed here. so does hit and retaliate cycles. it seems that it's going to lead into a broader conflict. you're so here to understand the story, i think we need to make the sense of turkey's narrative regarding y p g turkey save that way, p gene celia is a m off shot off the p k. k in iraq. and internally, however, the usa considered y p g as is primary l, i in the fight against isis, and that the b. and that has been a huge are source of tension between 2 nato allies, turkey and the usa. so right after the stumble, bonding, we have seen that the turkish interior minister, silly muscle had so has accused yes of being behind it. not dead do as it has given a bond to this lady to different ethan is normal, but indirectly by supporting y p g. he meant that you are actually escalating this and that's why you are behave. but on the other hand,

we have seen bread mag girl who is the that the national security council of the yesterday, the coordinator of the national security council here just yesterday said that we have no information about who has carried out that that, that bond. but if turkey has the formation, we are happy to be involved in the, in the, in the investigation process. but now we can see the tension between these 2 nato allies is also rises. so what to expect next, i think here the time in is quite impeccable. both for the peak, okay, and for the turkish garma. so in less than 8 months there would be an election, important election turkey presidential election and race is going to be a neck to naturally election. so according to the pools and foot prisoners, one is quite important. to keep the confidence stable, however, it's also an opportunity for menu of his openness as well to see a turkey inter balance regarding his financial stability and the security stability as well. so based on this picture, i will say that

a probably turkey is going to retaliate and whether it is going to initiate the fort, a large scale, military inclusion in city or not, we need to wait at or so sir dar joining us in dor today. thank you so much. at china, his battling a surgeon, coven, 19 infections on sunday, beijing recorded to virus related death. in addition to one report in a saturday, or the 1st confirmed since late may at fock reports. but the situation in china is getting more serious and wrong, joe, just across the board from here in hong kong authorities ordered a 5 day lockdown, and by your district that the city's largest district, they also suspended in restaurant dining and some entertainment venues in 10. her district, the main financial districts inform joe and going to remains the center of john, is that right? but flareups are getting worse in other parts of the country as well, including in the capitol, beijing, which report just under a 1000 new cases. on monday authorities there have advise people to stay at home

after having done so already of the weekend. they've also suspended all classes in chang district, the largest district in beijing. and 2 more desk that will report to the stove. fears of further 0, herbert chaos. the death of a man in his eighty's just a few days ago with the 1st cove related death in china since may and all this is make it more difficult to, for health officials to refine china's 0 curve. it strategy, china, remember, issued a 20 point playbook last week, instructing, most places to do away with mass testing. but as these cases infection tick, that's precisely what many of the space the going back to doing right now. iran has launched more strikes against kurdish oppositional groups in northern iran in northern iraq. i beg your pardon, ron accuses them a stoking unrest in iran or protests or ongoing after the death of masa many in

police custody. it's the 2nd such attack in a week. the number of casualties is unknown. malaysia's king has extended a deadline for political parties to submit nominations for prime minister tightly contested parliamentary election on saturday left major parties without enough support to form a government. rival politicians had been scrambling to broaden their coalitions. they were originally due to report to the king on monday a new zealand highest cortez rule, the voting age is discriminatory. the judgement forces parliament to discuss whether the current voting age of 18 should be lowered, the 16 prime minister just in the order and says, m p. 's will consider the law change within the next 6 months. right? kaden tripler is co director of make it 16, an organization, the campaigns for voting rights for 16 and 17 year old in new zealand. she joins us now for life from auckland. so thank you for being with us. you took a fundamental rule of democracy in your country and you campaigned to change it and

you one in the courts. how do you feel? i mean, obviously this is hugely exciting for us to make a 16 has had this case since 2020 so has gone through. the high call has gone to the court of appeal. and now recently as you know, it's gone to the supreme court. so it's been a long journey and was so excited to have the result of the real after. why is it discrimination in your view, not to allow a 16 year old to vote to ask them to wait until they're 18. yeah, absolutely. well, a court case was based on the fact that museums bill of rights that protect anyone age 60 no other from age discrimination. and so a voting age of 18 was in direct conflict with the part of the bill of rights to protect 1617 year olds. and is also many other reasons. i was support line by the i, 1616 year olds pay minimum, sorry, and minimum wage on jobs. the pain tax on that taxation without representation out

parliament is making decisions on long term issues that will ultimately impact young with the must. so more young people deserve to have disabled those issues that the voting age will actually only change if you get 75 percent of parliament to approve it, regardless of what the supreme court has just said. so currently the main opposition group is against this change. they want to keep it at age 18. how do you convince them? well, luckily we have 2 different elections in new zealand. so we have the general elections that we need the $75.00 to support for. but we also have local elections and that only requires a 51 percent majority, the government and power, the labor government, to law, the local leech. and tamara and new zealand isn't the 1st country in the world to consider lying on the 16th countries like scotland and austria have all the voting age for the national election by lowering the washing age and local leech and best . we can definitely say new zealand following a similar passion in that regard. we know that once a lot of the voting a local elections, at least the opposition parties will see how much of

a successful policy it is in the heart of the question, is that what age societies consider their young ones? right? the younger members of society become mature enough to vote. and is that 18? is it just before that? just after that, the vast majority of countries in the world feel that it's 18 only a small number of countries feel that 16 is okay. what's your argument about this maturity level where you know the bernie age wasn't always a chain, the running, i'd used to be 21 and before that woman that bar. and before that only landowners could. so the boarding age or who can vote has changed over time. as, as politics have changed and the political climate of the world today cause for running and just 16, you know, there are big issues such as code 19 recovery and climate change that will ultimately impact 1617 year old, more than the current bushing population. and although the majority of the world still heather watching age of 18, we're seeing more and more countries make cases to lower the boasting age. you know,

this was again currently happening in canada. moved to change the booking age 16 in california. germany's coalition has made learning that your elections part of the mission agreement. so this is a global movement and not just exclusive, can you sealant kaden tebler. thank you so much for joining us on the show today. we appreciate it. hey keith. i still had on l 0. plenty more sports coverage for you on this date. 2 of the think the world cup 2020 to stay with al jazeera. ah how i was seen some phenomenal rainfall across central parts of year. this is a western albania 165 millimeters of right here. 24 hours. what's the cloud? shang, upon the satellite. pitcher that disturbed weather will make its way across romania . it runs up to would you crate as we go on through the next couple of days.

comes in. he's had a lot of experience working with them. obviously some of them coming from the spy academy, he knows them in and out is like a father figure to them for now is the time to to say, what can we do to correct the mistakes of that game and know that the next game they go into which is again, synagogue is a do a die, it's a fine for them, and they have to literally throw everything at the game. but it also depends on how soon ago, you know, play against the netherlands today. by contrast, ecuador really did have a dream saw to know when could it get any better, really? i mean, i'm sure that back home that could die and fans it saying, you know, celebrating that victory. but also i don't think that they had that much belief in this side. it's one of the youngest seems and the toner meant a lot of inexperience in decide. obviously from the captain and valencia who's going to goes and also became the 1st player ever disco. the 1st 2 goes of a woke up, so that sort of confidence is going to help him going to the remaining games and saying, you know, we could actually push ourselves,

go to the run of 16 and anything can happen in and in the know called stages all right, well let's hey, now from cath, health coach in ecuador, goal scorer. max, you only very good. ok key fellowship a shuttle and i think maybe the responsibility weighed on us a bit. i'll know. got the better of us at the beginning. we started really badly, very badly. we can see the goals and that determine the rest of the match. i hope that after the star for all the following matches the slave, lucretia eases off and we can face the matches in a more competitive way, which i believe were capable of doing about it. was a difficult, ever since the draw came out. i remember that i was with my club and i saw that we were going to play the opening match. since then i spent many nights dreaming of my team winning the opening match. as i said in my pre match press conference, that will be a dream for us to win. and thanks to god, it happened to me and i managed to score and help my team to get the 3 points. so on to today's games,

and we have 3 today will stay in group be 1st and after ecuador is when neither senegal or the non lens will want to lose today. when they meet at all. so mama, stadium, england phase around and the early game at 1300 g m, p i calisha international stadium and group b. then it's central versus netherlands. and the late game today at 1900 g m t. c, the usa take on wales. i sure how our synagogue going to do without body on money. it's going to be very tough for them is elidah in the team, but also the player who makes the difference is called the goal. that one them the 1st ever after a cup of nations trophy in february this year and just a couple of weeks late to help them to qualify to their side ever woke up to performance. and i think that now it's done to them that really you're not going to have the best player on the team in the woke up. but now you have the senior players will have to step up sugar korea to form a captain of synagogue. you have obviously edward mandy,

who will be in go for them. kelly, do kelly barley, also in defense, but they've not had a great time at chelsea in the premier league in the last couple of weeks. but they have to really use this moment to say, look, we've not done a great job in the premier league, but we can, you know, transform ourselves and get better going to guy, you know, recovering from an injury. and that midfield will be very key for them, but that man is my last are, has to be the one who be the difference upfront for the tongue. the lions, i know. so i used to say the 1st coach, you know, from africa to lead a team to, to work caps, bring that experience from russia. so that should be important for me to go and obviously a difficult match for netherlands to they didn't qualify for the last tournament. 4 years ago in russia, how do you think they'll do now in capital? i think they have a point to prove louise on has done a great job. he knows a single to about, you know, international football. and also a lot of pressure at a stage like this one. so he'll be trying to make a statement and saying, you know, we, so what could do could do we want to do the same and, you know,

have no pressure in the 2nd game. and especially not in the last one, ari group be kicks off to day, and it's the most politically charged group in this tournament, containing england around the usa and wales. yeah, iran play england against a backdrop of unrest that captain says conditions and not right in his country. he spoken out on protests following the death in police custody of 22 year old. my sam many been on the for the you banking channel in the name of god of rainbows. i want to 1st express my condolences to old brief iranian families and want them to know that we are standing by them and sympathize with them there and jabari is entire on with more on what the iranian captain's been saying. s on hard stuffy. the iranian football team's captain started off as press conference in doha on sunday by using

the phrase that was used by a 10 year old key on peer fellow who died last wednesday in ongoing demonstrations . there. he acknowledged for the 1st time veterans national team is behind the radio nation and the families that are grieving as a result of ongoing protests which are now in their 10th week. many of the players have not made any reference to the demonstrations in this country, but the captain, for the 1st time, using the occasion to say that that the team is behind the people of iran. we have heard from a number of former, well known iranian players who have decline to attend the world cup as a result of ongoing events in the country saying they're rather be inside or on that to show their solidarity with a nation at the coach. carlos curos has said that the team is going to leave politics outside of football. this is the 3rd time the former manchester united and real madrid coach will be with the iran national team in doha,

who ranks 20th and fif. during this event. they are hoping to succeed, at least in scoring one goal with when they play against england. later on monday, the captain saying that they are ready and they've been practicing and they feel that they are well equipped to take on the england tea. well, today's early take off is also the 1st match at holly venture national stadium. and peter's family is there for us, peter, a few hours to kick off. how's the atmosphere building up where you are? yeah, hello. they. 5 i can tell you that the atmosphere actually at the moment they, it's not really they, i'm perfectly honest with you. i think that the reason for that is that we still got more than 2 hours before kickoff. so there are a few fancy. it is a bit of music coming out of the stadium as well, but that's really just preparation stuff more than anything else. i have. a few fans have arrived. we've seen some iranians arrive on the doha, metro. and i think it from personal point of view. i'm actually looking forward to

seeing the england fans arrive because as we well know, they do have a reputation for being particularly loud at football games. and i think that they may very well end up creating a great atmosphere. ok, well opening group games are always too tough to call though, but well, england be feeling confident ahead of this match and hoping for when well look, the fact of the matter is that england have got more of a footballing history and pay degree than the iranians and i say that with all due respect, within asian football, iran are obviously a powerhouse having won the asian cup on several occasions. they've also qualified for the people will come on a regular basis. but when speaking globally, you know, we, it's the fee for will come and if you look at england, ok, all the talk is always every time the woke up about $960.00 think. but there are a former world champion. they've been to the semi finals on a few occasions, most notably, 4 years ago in russia. and then of course,

we also remember in italy back in 1990. so england, you know, they're a team that's been pushing, i think as well when you consider that they were in the final of the years last year. so semi final thought, years ago, years last time round. can they go one better this time? well, it would be good for them to start with a win, and i think were honest, they would look at iran, they look at the united states of america, they look at wales and they say, yeah, sure, we got to play well to beat these guys. but really, england should be talking this group we recognize the quality of the opposition. the group is very tight in terms of the world rankings. so it's the hardest group. and of course, at the beginning, everybody has optimism and hope so always the margins a close in the opening matches we've, we've navigated that well in our last 2 tournaments, but both games were really tight and everybody wants to win the 1st game. the

objective is to get out of the group. however, however, you managed to do that. first objective. what we heard from garrett southgate, the england manager, and again, further to what i said a 2nd ago, he took england to the semi final for the fif walker. 4 years ago, he took england to the final of the years last time round. can he now take them once they pay to, obviously call us kato, san iran will be looking to make sure that they don't do that at least not today for a. okay, thanks so much for that. peter will talk to you soon. all right, well, let's take a closer look at england's kept in harry cain. if england ought to do well in capital, though, surely need this man to school some goals. the captain won the well cut golden boot in russia. 2018 canes. could $51.00, goes in $75.00 games for england and is now just 3 goals from breaking winery. nice old time scoring records, they could well become england's record goals for this tournament. ok,

i show your pick for golden bit winner. what i said, i'll tell you in about maybe 5 days. okay. yeah. after i've watched. 3 all the, you know, teams play, i'll have a close idea of those. i'm and i will say valencia equity has a strong sense that he has to already. yeah. okay. are age, should we, should we continue that? well, i'll try it later. okay, well just on the point of hurricane england, you know, we mentioned iran making political gestures will ingo not only on shy of making their own because they've confirmed they'll take the knee at that came against iran . but the plan for captain harry came to where the one of our band has hit some trouble. po brendan is life for us in london poll fee for have threatened teams who wear the arm band with punishments. what are they been saying? and what's been the reaction from england? yeah, it looks like england, i'm not going to be able to,

while hurricane is looking to be able to wear that one love on the rainbow band. standing up for the rights of a, b, g, u t o b g, a plus because fee for has threatened england with actually booking hurricane before the game even starts. now obviously that would be such a disadvantage to the team that it's really not so they're not prepared to do that . they were prepared to take a financial penalty, a fine. but a booking is a different matter. i'm not pulling him the football association chief executive saying this morning, but the talks were ongoing with the fever, but it looks very unlikely they are going to be able to do that. it's disappointing . from english point of view. we know the hurricane was very keen to wear them on band, and the f a had told fee for a back in september that that was what they were going to do. and it's only on saturday, the fif of come back with an alternative on bummed proposal representing some

united nations causes. it's all been a bit last minute for the english camp. they're not really very happy about it. all right, that's pull brennan for us there in london. well, wales will make their return to the well cup up to 64 years away in their fans have a new symbol of unity. the bucket hats. in fact, their 1st minister was in doha unveiling, a giant welsh bucket hat before the opening game against the u. s i later, the bucket has the teams motto, best play is team play. alamba. well, wales do have a very united team. they have a, a strong club culture. could that help them here? actually, it's well reflected, you know, with the bucket had saying that, you know, the best team is team play, especially coming from a team. you know, that relies heavily on, you know, just one player. if you ask anyone across the world, if they know another was player, other than garrett though they will have to sink for about a minute there. before going to google, we can p d a. but that just shows you how important it is for them to, you know, play as

a team. they've made it to the world cap this generation. i'm sure not so many people give them a chance, as compared to, you know, the other generations of was players. but they also it in the coming to the end of, you know, a stretch of the last 6 years. and that perhaps this is the moment that they can shock the world. and i think that they have a choice, but it's going to be very difficult for them in this group. honestly, i see england and iran making it out to the round of 16. you mentioned something interesting about wales relying on garrath bale. is there another team at this? well, cub the relies on one player like wales rely on garetsville. and yes, perhaps you would have to talk about alone, dusky and poland. you ok enough. yeah, i don't see any of the team really that me lies on one player apart from wells and poland. if you look at, for example, the south american teams, they are very deep and they have so many options in several positions. took

a lot. i didn't know you why, who am i dac hoses for this tournament took about brazil. you look at the brazil square and you thinking how did you know for me? no, not make it to discuss. but the coach detail has made up his decision. if you look at the african team also, you know, very well spread out, but well as in poland, really relying on one player and perhaps that could even be their strength and the tournament. and of course, the usa is returning after missing the $2800.00 finals and russia. a lot of, lot of good players. it's a, it's a young came, some of the players play in the big european clubs. also an interesting story. there is timothy way i find of george where is on the us team. how. how cool is that? it is super cool. i mean, if you are the son of a former battle and or when yeah, i know some african only balance when then you have a lot of pressure on you. but i know that judge has always supported team way and made sure that he makes the best decisions. he was in the stadium for the opening

ceremony last night. so that just goes to show you that he'll stick around, make sure he watches his son, make, make him proud. and i think it was a good decision for him to play for the usa and not for liability. because with all due respect, i don't think that might be our country that can go as far as qualifying for the woke up. so it should be interesting to see a father watching his son play to woke up. how good is the usa? because, you know, in terms of the number of fans, we know that the u. s. a women's team is a bigger team in the us than the men see how good all they, they've always been in the shadow of the women, to be honest, even though until recently there were any more than the women. so that's always been the comparison between the 2 teams. but i know that now the one to, you know, write their own story and say we to play soccer. and you know, the usa is always known for, you know, the olympics we mean or the n b a basketball. but this is a new chapter for them. and they can make their own story. and what better way to

do it in a very difficult group like this one. all right, well let's have a look at your predictions, shall we? we all school ok to give us a 4 course final semifinals and final take a look. i should focus through this because this is very controversial, pixie. yeah, janet all being one of your feelings and sadie on a yes, i don't know that study one is not playing in this tournament, but i feel that that's what you base and enough for the rest of his teammates. so i have going out of that group, they have the best chance of an african team making it to the knockout stages. so cynical, i guess as in tina, but i don't see them going past messy and he's entire crew. i have spin and brazil as well, and brazil coming up tope name us should have an edge of some of you, full of buffalo new teammates. on the other hand, england can go all the way to the quarter finals plugins. france defending champions. yeah, very close. but i have the front going ahead and belgium and put you go,

i have belgium, you know, going over getting one over, you know, rinaldo, you know, i'd like to see belgium when they haven't. when it, before i get to see someone different, who is your player the tournaments? ho my god. messy. even though as in tina may not make it to the final. ok. and finally i brazil. belgian who do you think is going to win it from that from those to brazil? because oh, okay, there you go. you heard of her? all right, well that's all we thought time for in our world cup special. we're back at 1330 g m t, with plenty more from katara, 2020 teeth worth? well, comp coverage have to our website at al jazeera dot com, forward slash. well, come from myself, i sure. and joe, thanks for watching with

ah.

a in depth analysis of the days headlines from around the world. do you think diplomacy still stands a chance? i'm not very up. can we speak about any negotiation? we're already in a winter. it's going to be hell hole there inside story on al jazeera. ah, this is the face of hunger to describe what is happening here as desperation, trivializes the extent of the suffering. there's been a scramble at the supply truck because people here know that there is not enough for everyone, but they are still the lucky ones here across the way where the road has been completely washed away. or people cut off from other villages as the trucks begin
