we saw out expected that we will be facing a difference. so the actions are the front of the sponsors, the organization of their than found. god was amazing and the whole world can testify to that as a fall of the forms of the set of cut that carried out. i think there were some quarters who did not take this into consideration, and unfortunately they base their opinion on the conceived judgments, or even after visiting the set of cut that are meeting with officials of the sets of got out of always open our doors to every one, we always engage in dialogue with everyone concerned since the start of this cluster systems. of course, we cannot change the opinion of those who just want to attack as on this thought out of the damage. and this may have nothing to do with cut out itself,

but thankfully the vast majority of people, especially football fans when they came to the how they were surprised, then amazed by our preparations of the people of cotton is always welcoming. and we always receive people always open hearts. anissa amazing to see the joy in the eyes of people of the fan. and there the enjoyment of this event through a to as the something they do or say, father fast thumb, the world cup or, and previous her i sessions are well usually held in countries which were very advanced european western and african countries. this of the fastest, amid the list and country baz,

this sort of sponsibility and ask for the reforms which took place in recent years. many may be of the opinion that the world cup was the prime reason for that. about the way a thing. the world cup was nothing that catalyst an agent to accelerate our leave form because we base everything we do on the vision of his highness, the army which is got the national vision, which is in line with the developments in the world around those. and this is a continuous process and is not linked to a particular event thought a particular stage. this is a journey, a journey which we undertook her. it was based on the our own experiences and the help of countries like the united states, canada,

and mexico, who will be organize in the next world cup, who and we wish them, by the way. so good luck in their efforts on our message to the international lawyer, the opinion on the except of got that well comes everybody. the fact of cut those doors are open. let's focus on football on people and what takes place or in the stadium in the pitch. and let's not forget what cut that has done and the family about the wants to rely on their preconceived ideas. this will be on level for template. the impact about the facts on the ground will remain and speak for themselves. first question goes to michelle gander. a security

authority, solving the immunity issue for saudi conference in washington should we expect in washington song. and the also 2 weeks ago visited by them said we are going to fleet on what has been doing in this regard and do have any comments on it on announcement today that they have begun producing in that you, anyone at 60 percent impurity and also there that just the. ready way that a little bit of a secretary, the issue of what the issue of human rights is an issue of contention between the 2 countries lead to forms have you promised with regard to and be as there are no plans for him to travel to to washington let me say just

more broadly on this question, the question of immunity. we received a request from a federal court that had litigation before it via the justice department to ascertain our opinion on his status. and we conveyed an opinion based on long standing legal practice that given his position as a head of state, out of government or foreign minister. and that he was as a legal matter entitled to a immunity. this is a determination that we've made in dozens, hundreds of cases over the years. and in every case, we simply follow the law, and that's what we did. ah, the opinion that we provided does not speak in any way to the merits of the case.

no, nor the current status of the bilateral relationship. our review that relationship is, is ongoing. and again, i would note that this opinion was solicited by the court and it has been our practice. in fact, i can't think of any of a case where we didn't when asked by the court, provide an opinion as to iran. i can't confirm any, any reports about their, their activities. it's something that we're looking at very carefully and, and very closely. and what we've seen, and we've spoken many, many times before, is that while we continue to believe that the best way to resolve the challenges posed by around nuclear program or through diplomacy around for

a variety of reasons is, has chosen to insert extraneous issues into the effort to revive the g tracie t away. and of course, meanwhile the world is rightly focused on what's happening inside of her on the protests that have arisen since the, since the killing of my so many or something that have galvanized galvanized the world. and that is where the focus is. and of course, at the same time, the steps that iran is taken to provide weapons to provide drones to russia, to aid and it's aggression against ukraine. our deep concern is something that we're very focused on. we are taking steps across the board to push back against both the, the actions that iran is taking to repress its own people in terms of sanctioning those who are responsible and also helping companies make sure that the iranians

have the technology that they need to continue to communicate with one another and to be connected to the outside world. we're also sanctioning entities that are involved in the provision of weapons like drones and looking at whatever means are possible to help the ukrainians defend against the use of these weapons. and as we said all along, it is even as we been engaged in diplomacy are to try to see if we could get a mutual return to compliance with jesse fairway. we continue to exert pressure on iran for steps that it's taking to strengthen its nuclear program. in contravention of jesse foil itself, as well as the steps that it's taking in, in other areas that are post significant challenges, concerns to the people around the world. this article had fallen her source or questions on human lights on

what has been dealt with. and our strategic dialogue, 1st the following greatly valley, our partnership with the united states and the collaboration between our different government entities in the united states and cut out whether to do with human last or any other aspects. as, as we said previously, the course, some of human rights in katara is the responsibility of the state towards the people. i'm every people i've got that laughter, but the who lives here in cup out and our leadership was very decisive in there. so the former, which were implemented to serve this purpose, of course the question is not just giving pledges by the stay towards other countries. and as we said, we value our partnership and dialogue with the united states. but there's also

a program and actionable program between us and the not to states where the for capacity building between different institutes or law enforcement agencies are in general to benefit from the experience of the last step. of course there are points upon which we are giving another which we dont this isn't normal and we of course this is it has a lot to do with this society in which these measures are implemented. and as we said previously for last of the says, both the duty and the responsibility of our government towards its people and to us providing the kind of the environment which can protect the rights of everybody who lives in this land. our final question goes to john hudson, the washing 1st thanks

very much, mister secretary, fairly or unfairly. some people have called this the most politicized world cup in history. do much in part to migrant labor and l g b t issues. as a long time soccer fan over decades, do you agree with that? his sort storage or assessment of cutters, place among world cups? did that give you any pause about making this trip separately? what do you think of the arm band edict, which is discouraging a pro tolerance message minister al, tawny. it was not long ago that your country was subject to an unprecedented blockade by gcc countries. and the u. s. government, under a different administration, was largely silent about that act of economic aggression. was that experience of isolation? what propelled cutter to deepen its relationship with the current administration and so many fronts that have been discussed, whether it be ukraine or afghanistan or any other issue?

john, thank you. first here in, in cutter. as we've noted, we've launched the 5th edition of our strategic dialogue. that is work that started well before the world cup is continuing during the world cup and it will continue after the world cup. and in that, as we've discussed, we are working on the broad array of issues that join our countries together as well as working through areas where we have some. some differences also happens at the world cup is on right now, and i make no bones about having the pleasure to actually come and cheer on team usa and it's,

and it's helping match something i was really both proud to do as an american. and yes, please to do as a long time soccer fan and, and player. but the, the main point is, is this, the, the work that we're doing is something that precedes this world cup continues during, it will continue after it. we've already talked about the many areas in which the united states and cut are working very closely together through the strategic dialogue, to even cooperation, to deepen coordination. and as i've also said, human rights is one of the key pillars, our foreign policy. whether it's here in the region or for that matter all around the world. we've been talking about human rights, labor rights trafficking in persons with our colleagues from cutter for a long time. and that too is a conversation that continued today and will continue when the spotlight of the, the world cup. mouzon,

we documented real progress. we documented ongoing challenges including in our annual reports. and i'd refer you for example, to the trafficking in persons report that we recently put out. we appreciate the work the cutter is done to improve labor practices, including efforts to investigate, to prosecute, to convict traffickers staffing the specialized traffic in police unit in 2021 under the u. s. cutter anti trafficking m o u, and the labor m o u. that we signed, we implemented joint initiatives and you heard the minister refer to these as well to help cut to build capacity to develop the technical expertise to wear his awareness, to promote the rights of migrant workers. we're doing that through technical exchanges. we're doing it through sharing of different practices and we're helping to actually see reforms implemented. that is,

that is critical. one of the things that i mentioned earlier is our hope and expectation that some of the progress that's been made continues and expands. after the, the workup is over. i also want to commend cutter for reopening the humanitarian care house that will help protect and assist victims of trafficking. but as i noted, there is still considerable work to be done. it's exactly why it's important that we have these sessions. we have these discussions so that we could take advantage of having the strategic dialogue, while the world cup was going on. all the better. as i said, cutter has the spotlight on it. now. you've heard the minister talk about about that, but much more important is what happens when the spotlight moves on. and what i can tell you will happen is our work together to continue to address challenges with regard to, to rights, labor practices, to, to trafficking. when it comes to the armed end question, look, as i said earlier,

one of the most powerful things about football about soccer is it's potential to bring the world together quite literally as it together here in cutter. but also figuratively in terms of just bringing human beings together and can rediscovering everything that they have in common. and how that really does fundamentally outweigh the differences that we deal with every day. that's the power sport. that's the power. what we see going on. and the message that we heard from the mirror is usually important that all are welcome. and of course it's important to make that meaningful to put that into practice. it's always concerning from my perspective when we see any restrictions on freedom of expression. especially. so when the expression is for diversity and for inclusion,

and in my judgement at least no one on a football pitch should be forced to choose between supporting these values and playing for their team. vecchio. regarding actually the classes in 2017, the u. s. response well i think that there is some confusion here because of some levels of response to to what happened in 2007 did. we believe that the future relationship between the 2 countries has been always the most important safeguard for the relationship. and even if you are a crisis and at the time where we had probably some cloud and understanding

between the 2 countries, the situation has been always surveying as facilitates that off dialogue between the 2 government. making sure that everyone at all that have as they have done right on probation about the cooperation and the partnership between our 2 countries. we've been determined about the relationship. what this year was last year or 10 years ago. but 50 years ago, this relationship has been progressing at a positive direction. sometimes, we have probably disagree a bit on certain issues. we talk, we gauge dialogue, we work together and bringing our differences, closure and walk on. ready the common areas at this is, has to be rated and then also issues as the secretary of vision. and i

did, airbus has been the center to fight terrorism at this. this is thought with the president, by the administration or with the previous administration. this start the 20 years ago. this relationship has been nothing but one of our particular position has been always on different tissues on different causes. very much principles on the international law chart and anything, any countries, any cases violated these principles. but we definitely use that stat gotta be walking. this is what we share would be, was a shared vision responsibility together to make the ones that took place with a lot of other factors. i believe that the work that we've been doing in the past couple of years has been significant secularized by both countries. that both of us,

our partnerships are vital for our countries. it's vital for the us to have popped like this region that's vital for us globally to our part like the us be say this repeating leap. i thought it was partnership is actually the most important part of nash that relationship that has or that rational pre beyond our region. so this is something that we are committed to pursuit together by to dig tory, to continue pursuing this with also the future. i'd restoration whoever would come off. that would be awesome. thank you. so kind of how god got to get him out there . happy to look. okay. if he verged in watching, we've been listening to a joint press conference with the u. s. sex your say anthony blinkin is here in cas,

are meeting with the katara adept prime minister and foreign minister. shake mohammed been up till rockman. i'll tawny in doha. the t sides have been discussing a number of issues, including humanitarian issues, labor and human rights, climate, climate change. we had there a number of questions that the media put to the are the 2 men we can speak to a correspondent or some a bunch of aid who is been listening in to that live press conference. so talk us through the highlights. ah, what is this was the, the 5th 3rd strategic dialogue between the united states and canada. they meet yearly and the discuss, as you've mentioned, a wide array of issues from bilateral ties to regional issues and beyond. and this is something that was discussed here is not just what is happening in the middle east in the region with of iran understand they are often to the places but also ukraine and other conflicts of the united states. and then find themselves in

agreement with the sector. justin you heard said there have been differences of opinion in this relationship and it did answer that this relationship goes beyond administration. so it was not justice administration. it is a decades long relationship and will continue afterwards as well. he's here, especially during the world cup because he wanted to cheer the team united states and did speak about a lot of criticism that author says has been aimed at it. as part of a campaign, we heard from the company, foreign minister, the deputy prime minister as well. saying that partner has been making the strides to improve our not just what the world expects from it, but also in line with what its vision is for the future of the country. and the woke up has been a catalyst for change, but the work doesn't stop here. so this is in a nutshell, a bilateral relationship which butter and the united states. i want to build on not just on security in energy, but to words human rights and other areas including sports diplomacy as well. and

the secretary of state. there has been visiting bases in cutter in the last 24 hours meeting people and cheering his team as well which one the match last night. i can't thanking him for that osama bin chip aid there for us in tampa. ah. more football action, one of the superstars of the football well cup, e's inaction right now. line message argentina one all against saudi arabia in the 2nd half as geisha. alexander and patsy's following the action from one is aries and a huge excitement that no doubt. mm hm. yes, let me tell you that people here falling through shock, graft, or saudi arabia, was able not only to tie this game, but also now that the, the by 2 to one over argentina. nobody was expecting this. at this

point. there's an eerie silence 0 among the thousands of people that came out of this park or side is to follow this match. but let's ask one of the supporters, what they think about what's happening. and this game we're joined by might be mad aussie who is a fan of the engineering national team. also a young sport journalist. would you have expected this situation at this point? you know, it's up there. sure. i know it's full of privacy, all that fees that happened in this game. argentina had 3 goals and in that to work on that you did like some didn't. how did you not a psychological leave? i mean the 2nd ha, ha ha, that 1st goal or so did i was doing the 1st me this is on wasn't a contina. now if there was a fire team that it wasn't a surprise me with what we were sent. arching,

of the work. what day a day is not the best. a skills of this particular team, besides massey and other great figures, what do you think is the real strengths that the team needs to show in the coming map? that sense of teen? i gather a to perfect. thank you very much so much for being with us. the so this is that can through that really lives for football breeds football. it's something that it's very difficult to explain, but just the fact that thousands of people have got very early on a work day to be here and common experiences math to gather that science 7 am local fails. you're just how much people love this sport. and just a couple of days that go we went the audio sorry just didn't convey. 1

close to tying this game, why we went to the city of rosario, a messy hometown, were friends and family there. remember the little boy that never left the ball behind and then we went there. it was a great opportunity to hear from him and everybody here is expecting massive to be able to bring that trophy back to our gen tina for the 1st time since 1986. ah, my human messes out of this world talent made a big impression. even when he was the smallest player on the page, that's why his childhood friend diego over year, who came up with the slogan from another galaxy and from this neighbourhood to celebrate him. because he being one that i'm a big on layer. when we were kids with leo, this was a garbage telling us, but in time we've restored it under and now we have 32 neural celebrated hotel and

had tons. okay. and they grew up together here in love a heather, a working class neighborhood, rosario diego says it was safe for back then. in the last decade, violence has skyrocketed due to a drug war. but to re still come here to take pictures and listen to the stories of the young may see playing on the neighbourhood streets there a common common nina. he still carries the child inside of him, long, humbled a still the same childhood and education. the 1st in line to find you forever. and then we were naughty and happy around you miss you was also the smallest kid in the classroom. but to day a mural looms large in the patio of his elementary school is that the name of his teacher proudly shows the picture of his 5th grade class aliya. with bella cl recorded momento, leah and he would anxiously wait for recess to play with his friends. everybody wanted to play on his side because he the so good and was always difficult to bring him back to class. i remember teacher telling him that there was only one mater
