diligent creatures and they place in australian culture. but today they're at the heart of a beat, a battle by say it from the perspective of the country and they're not meant to be they. they're hard proof to entice you species. they're not endangered. yeah, there's no any percent striving to have a $99.00. i to have one international time that special ecologists want to circle brumby. horse is gone saying they decimating a pristine environment, including the habitats of endangered native animals. but holes activists on lobby, hard to keep them arguing that their communities, lifestyle, and cultural identity is under threat. ah, sadie ravia, pull off one of the biggest shocks in world comp history coming from behind to beat

argentina. ah, i'm sammy's a band. this is out there alive from dall. so coming up turkish forces target kurdish fighters in northern syria, president of the ones considering a ground operation, a desperate search for survivors in indonesia, off mondays. us craig, that killed at least 268 people. and politicians of elijah failed to reach a consensus on forming a government. the king meets the 2 leading blocks now one of the biggest shocks in football world cup history has happened on day 3 of carter 2022. lena massey's argentina have been beaten 2 to one by saudi arabia and

the opening game. saudi are the 2nd lowest rank side in the tournament, argentina. we're one of the pre tillman favorites. they've been stunned by they 1st defeat in 37 games. earlier i spoke with a smile, a toy dream of football analyst spaced in the hot on in saudi arabia. i started by ask him how people they're reacting to start things up. i think in the beginning it was more coaching towards the game. everybody was starting to have a laugh, so to speak, in terms of expecting to be beaten by the number 3, a rank team in the world. so the more going towards the game was just a matter of, you know, just basing destiny. and i mean, must be really shocked and surprised in a positive way. absolutely. i mean, i mean, when, when the equalizer came in, i could barely remember a thing. i think the like the whole room just went blank in terms of the motion.

and right, though, i mean, we just got the equalizer against argentina out of nowhere and it just you know, pounced on now. but the thought and i'm a hospice depend or i forgot his name on the new boy. i could say are in the car, you brought the kids in the back you we have had to pull over aside in disbelief and pinch yourself probably to make sure is this my, my great really. right. well, it is something very different right now. i'm on the crown. prince's royal highness told ways you don't have any pressure to play towards, but i mean, wow, beating the number 3 rank team in the world and have you can tender from from the get go. and we still, i mean the world cup is a very strange thing. we could end up just having these 3 points of the souvenir leaving. but i mean, are now, i mean, our, our ambitions are i to the sky so far? so good a. well, when you analyze the match, was it the saudi defense that play the major factor in this victory?

how do you see it? oh, absolutely. i mean i, we are not play that very dangerous and high line with a lot of people not agree with the game off. and i mean, they've been playing for 30 months. the saudi leak stopped almost a month before the world got one of the not the only the stuff that early in order for the players to prep play against teams that play similarly to argentina. it's not to be stereotypical or anything, but like players that love or teams that play vertically and try to break your line . so saudi arabia, it's a contract that played a very high line and thought them on. i don't know how many off site traps i almost lost count, so it was a truly math class from there, you know it's men and the man himself in terms of how to be compact and hold the high line at same time, willing to take a risk towards trap one of the best attacking squad. argentina fans got up early to watch the game, but they weren't expecting this with their breakfast. alexander,

i'm p. s. he was with them in the capital one to 5 us. nobody truly expected this. everybody came here, woke up very early in the morning to come to this park to watch the game together, expecting it to be an easy match for argentina. the 1st step and the route that they hoped were to have enshrined the legacy of their biggest superstar liam, and then massy and gold. this obviously changes that every thing and people here will tell you that the argentine team has mostly themself to blame. so yes, shock is the words to the fine, what a will probably be remembered as the biggest upset, not only of a this a world cup, but one of the biggest in the history of the world cup. now people here tell you obviously that not everything is lost, but the next 2 matches that argentina will have to play against the mexico and

pulled on to now have become must wins for this demon. they only have 3 days to understand what happened. fix it the, and, and show a very different, the face on saturday, against mexico. i alexia of rhyme is that the house is south a place for the countries football fans together in doe eyes. it's starting to sink in i really don't think fans can believe what just happened. one told me earlier that the wind against argentina was absolutely beyond their wildest dreams. now, down here at saudi house, i'm told there was a sort of rousing cheer they went up when that match ended against argentina. fancy of saying that that absolutely just could not believe it. after all, saudi arabia ranked $51.00 on the world up against argentina. number 3 in the world, the team of leon l may see the winners of copa america expected to actually take

out this competition. and here they are. coming out on top 211 fan i spoke to actually could barely speak to me because his voice was so hoarse from cheering on his team. i'm actually joined now by marwan, who is an armani, who lives here and cut tar. and he came down after the match ended. what do you think of the atmosphere down here? that must feel hell is very well, you will agree. everyone is happy. now, doing good, like expressing their feelings about the happiness some so the song, some saudi, also dancing, doing hair and even that fearful they, i asked some of them. they will not expecting that the result. you know, argentina, great team but so did of yeah. one. so i can say, but by missy for now. so after very use, this is the idea under, by the way i watch it done whom the, the much that most of the law was great and the modulus of course. but him more

a great guy. how important i wins like this, you know, for golf teams, this isn't close the 1st world cup in the middle east. yeah. this is a great job. they did really well happy. i'm can got lation for old out up. uh also for that day. so yeah, they'll be at deever, they did well by, on our expectation, really. so this is the idea. i hope that this, they do the best that the, at least they get the want to go up fully. we hope pop up to and then and shallow down as you can see the big day for the middle east, especially in this world cup, which is the 1st in the region. now at the minute we've got, you know, here and did mock on the screen. changes in fans have also been extremely loud throughout this competition. but really for the moment of the day is all about saudi arabia. that huge went against argentina. of course, mexico on poland,

the others in groups a still to play like, drawn for the moment, saudi arabia on top of that group. and very happy about it. i saw the hierarchies with a group of excited mexican fans now on their way to watch the match against poland . santa i a,

ah, i have to feel to be really nice my 1st time in the region and the region and doing i woke up all. fantastic. well know how to experience so far. it's good so far. yeah. so i'm saying most people wearing different outfits and you're wearing the traditional outfit for the gulf. yeah, that's because the people from this area are very friendly. and yesterday a friend said to me, this is a gift for you. where it tomorrow and you are today. and you, are you excited for the game that's just about to thought? very a mexico for cars many go i'm what do you think the school is going to be?

i've been a say 3, a 1. 1 of the best supported teams that this world cup is mexico for re sat down with its foreign minister about dough. we've never had 80000 mexicans. and that's going to be quite common for the largest part of our society, you know, positive. but there's a big name missing from mexico's squad. how they're hernandez, charlie tow. how does mexico move on from having this football tale? and they have few players in the team which have the really important experiences in the world cups, heavier and others as well. cup experience have helped do you think? yes, i think maybe we can get some predictions to the match. again. i think

that we are willing to win. it's not going to be easy, but we have some advantages over them. we are going to see that in the team. and we'll see, of course, how the format is prediction is progressing in our special coverage at $1530.00 gmc with an the richardson plus of course, the saudi delight tend to argentinian gloom, saying, and cost us secretary of state entity blinking those costs as deputy prime minister in foreign associates, 100, but not mine, fanny in doha. the 2 sides discussed issues including humanitarian assistance, climate change, and constance contribution to international sports diplomacy, found been debated with that briefing and of this report. the 1st session of your strategic dialogue happening while the world cup is taking place here in part that we heard from the attorney for mr. i'm the you a secretary of state talking about how this world cup has both stood times between

the 2 can not just in terms of security, but 2 words. sports diplomacy is reading and i did say it is going to be holding the world cup in 2026. we've heard both of them talk about various aspects of the relationship between the united states, including energy and other areas. also human rights that came up and the question was asked about whether this is a politicize woke up to which the secretary of state said that he is happy to be in clutter and cheering on team united states. we congratulate cutter on hosting the 1st world cup in the middle east. the your statement that all are welcome here for the world cup. is an important message for an event that brings together people from all walks of life, nations, faith, sexual orientations, races, and other forms of diversity. now it's important to make that inclusive body reality. what are the people who are always welcoming and always receive people with open arms and it's amazing to see the joy in the eyes of people,

the fence and enjoyment of this event, which was something they do or see for the 1st time the woke up in previous sessions were usually held in countries that were very advanced european western and african countries. this is the 1st time a middle eastern country bears this responsibility. the state of clutter has been under the microscope ever since winning the bid to holster, woke up on a variety of issues. and that is something that we heard the pottery foreign minister talk about saying that the reforms that you've seen an affair are part of its long term agenda. a part of it long. it's long term vision to improve things in the country. and the bulk of has been a catalyst for change and that change is going to continue. he did say that all people from all origins, all backgrounds are welcome to cut that. and this relationship with the united states in the rest of the world is going to continue and is going to be prosperous because of this global event, which is happening in the heart of the property capital. and still,

i had an al jazeera trying to contain a color outbreak that nevins economic crisis could prove a costly barrier. ah, anticipation is rising. and so with wanted my cattle aways. hello. the rain clouds are gathering across southern parts of china would see some wet weather coming in here. as we go on through the next couple of days, this area of low pressure will pull out into the north west pacific. that'll run up towards japan. and then we'll see where to where the coming down across taiwan, southern areas of china pushing further southward for wednesday, pretty poor day for japan. disappointing weather 11 degrees celsius. they're in tow . get with some heavy downpours. it brightens up as we go one into thursday more in the way of present sunshine coming back through. still want to shower circus and all the half of the country, but 18 celsius in tokyo. that's a bit more like it's

a similar temperature there for shanghai, north of virtue, i generally try and find, but southern china still season really heavy right? could be some localized flooding. as a result of that. usual ivy showers, meanwhile across or southeast asia and where to weather once again, just pulsing its way into where vietnam into cambodia casa thailand, scattering a shower, cos, malaysia, and more heavy downpours into indonesia was even heavy downpours recently, affecting southern areas of india, this weakling area of low pressure will spread a fair, better wet weather, right across southern parts of india. commonality seems in wet weather. want to shasta rancor, but the north of that it's dry to with sponsored by cattle anyways. ah with

them. oh oh. oh, come back here watching. i'll just do a time to recap our headlines now. and one of the biggest shocks in football woke up history. saudi arabia beat lee l. macy's arguments in a 2 to one in the opening game. saudi on the 2nd lowest frank side in the tournament, argentina, one of the pre tillman favorites. they've been stunned by their 1st defeat in 37

games. oh, man, you can imagine they've been celebrations by sounding fans across. so how that team was initially one down, but then to 2nd half goals, help them come out and talk. one of the top contender, st. malaysia is next. prime minister has declined the request from the king to form a unity government form of premier market denier seen says the police asked him to form a government with opposition leader on what abraham. both men failed to an outright majority in san days election resulting in a hung parliament phones. louis has more from the malaysian capital called on pull . malaysia remains in political limber with the position of prime minister, still vacant weed in yassin leader of the national alliance. who got the 2nd highest number of votes in saturday's election says he will not form a unity government with unwise brought him. the king had proposed this as

a solution. when he met both leaders on tuesday, we'd in your sins party champions, preserving special rights for the majority malay ethnic group and is in an alliance with a conservative islamic party while and was party is seen as more liberal and is also multi ethnic. and was alliance of hope had attempted to form a coalition with the national front, an old rival, but this has fallen through. the king non says he will meet all 30 and peace from the national front on wednesday to help him decide who he thinks can command the confidence of the majority in parliament. now saturdays elections were meant to bring political stability to a country that has seen to previous administrations collapse because of in fighting and defections. but the longer this political impasse continues, the less confidence there will be in a new government to indonesian our president, joker widow has visited the areas was affected by monday's earthquake. at least 260

people were killed when the trauma hit. the town of john jordan, west java rescue teams are still searching for survivors trapped under the rubble. widow says his government will compensate survivors. i'm families of the victims. jessica washington has the letters from john george. this was one of the roads that was blocked off due to a landslide that hit shortly after the earthquake. it's the road that the president passed through as he's been visiting the disaster, his disaster affected areas. and so in this area, we see crews working behind me a mixture of police, search and rescue workers trying to assist those. a lead president joker with dodo was swiftly arrived on the scene here and she and you're hoping perhaps to bring some comfort to families going through very difficult times. he said the 1st priority is of course, search and rescue. and then secondly, are providing assistance to families in need. those who have lost their homes and

there are various levels of compensation depending on how much damage that has been done to their homes. the highest amount being offered is around $3000.00 us dollars . so a very difficult time for this community, still around many areas remain inaccessible around 10 areas were affected by landslides. the last we heard from speaking with search and rescue officials on the ground is that some areas, but not all of them have been cleared. and so there's still still a long way to go for this for this effort. as we wait for updates here in challenger cities in china tightening their coven 19 restrictions as infections surge, millions being told to stay home. thousands of businesses have been ordered, shot many people say they're fed up with the strict policy. hartford falk has more from hong kong, full authorities. and john might more like to refer to what's happening in a lot of different places, locked downs officially. but when you shut down,

schools and paulson tell people who can't go to their offices to go to work and advise people to stay at home, then that's effectively what they are. health officials report to close 230000 view cases of infection on tuesday. that was close to china's all time high daily rate of infection had an april bessie. most of those cases are in one joe and, and chunk ching. but the focus is really turned towards the capital which recorded another 30 percent spike in new cases compared to a day ago. and one of the new measure, the account that's coming to play is authorities are telling new arrivals to the city that they must get tested 3 days in a row and not leave the places where they're staying until they get the all clears . so effectively that's telling people not to come to beijing at all, and that's going to create a lot of frustration for people that are being restricted with their movements and travel and so on and so forth. but arguably, people in beijing have been more vocal about some covert curbs and as the political

heart of the country, they have been able to apply more pressure on the government. that is perhaps why beijing has avoided a shanghai style locked down so far. but with what's happening right now, this is going to really put the 0 current policy to the test, particularly as officials, the trying to make small adjustments to it. the economic fallout from the pandemic and soaring inflation of prompted many governments to implement harsh austerity measures. but a report by oxfam says the cutbacks coming at the severe costs for women and girls . the charity says 4 out of 5 governments of slashing public services, including health and education, instead of increasing taxes on the wealthy to help fund them. it says those policies are hurting women and girls the most, pushing more people into poverty and exposing them to greater risk of overwork and

premature death. the report says the cuts are also reinforcing inequality in the job market. in the last 3 years, women returning to work secured just 21 percent of jobs created than our bed is a gender rights and justice policy and advocacy lead at oc. sam, she says, government should be focusing on taxing the wealthy and investing that the needs of women in mind for decades of therapy measures have been marketed as common sense as something's governments need to do in order to balance 3rd deficit of payments. but we know that because not to, we know it's just the choice, the men at the top are taking and that viable feminist economic alternative to exist. this starts with wells tech station and texting, but it's a progressive taxation on the, on the world's richest good dave. one trillion more than of 30. we'll save in 2023, which makes it a no brainer to actually go for well succession instead of slashing public funded

services on the put in the most marginalized. once that money is, today's should be invested in public services and social protection. while putting the needs of woman girls and non binary people at the heart of policymaking, not in a sense of think washing, exercise or taking box exercise, but to actually consider the needs and integrated them into policy making across all governments in the world to people have been killed in a lightning strike could account for internally displaced people in the democratic republic of congo, the camp, the governor in north give provinces, housing, 300000 people. they fled fighting between the congress army unravels them. 23 group is reportedly making advances and these pushing back kimberly's troops. turkish president, jeff type out of the wine says to care alone to ground operation in northern syria

as soon as possible. that's in response to an escalation along the border between the turkish military and kurdish forces. so them casala was in car miss along the to kia syria border as a civilian areas. i have been targeted by the live p g and p k k for schools. as for the turkish government, it seems to retention and from true care will continue to get conducted a full scale, a white scale, a campaign against the a y p g in p k. k targets in northern syria. and in northern iraq. as you know on on sunday morning, again as current coming where i am standing, it has been hit yesterday. and this is also an important part time for to care to pursue these operations. you see this vehicle behind me? it is full of sunflower feed oil than the yesterday. one of the rockets,

one of the 10. rocca started cargo district of gas downtown, also hit add a vehicle and a, the owner of the eco. and the owner of the merchandise is now curious, who is going to pay for their expenses. so all these things going going here, impact the day of the life of the civilians, which also a create a create fear, a but a speaking of whether a full scale lender operation it will be possible or when it is due. it is unknown, but turkish officials vowed to conduct this operation. thou, to finalize or fight against the p k. k a y p g elements in northern syria with land operation. security source is in northern iraq. say iran's revolutionary god is targeted code to show position groups in the region. a based north of the city of koch was hit with missiles and kamikaze drones. local schools are evacuated,

no casualties have been reported. the latest in the series of iranians strikes from the region. lebanon is launching a vaccination campaign to combat the spread of cholera. but the world health organization says the disease needs to be contained in neighboring syria for the plan to succeed, said the report. an emergency field hospital for people infected by cholera, north lebanon, is where most of them are being detected. nearly half of the patients of the water born disease are children. almost all come from poor families. unable to access clean water. and under study, still more mac. we bought water that is not disinfected. i believe that is how my daughter got the disease. lebanon's economic crisis is now in its 4th year and many cant afford hospital fees. you had

a bee line of itala here. everything is free hospital phase, the too expensive, the mean a, despite global shortages, the international community has helped lebanon secure cholera. vaccines officials are hoping to administer more than half a 1000000 doses in the coming weeks. but while this will help limit the spread, it's unlikely to solve the problem. the main aim is to allow us to have more time. but the ultimate control has to go back to the management of it. and. ready station, making sure that we have and see what that that's being delivered to the users. the main source of water in the north is contaminated water facilities were already deteriorating before the near bankrupt. government became unable to buy fuel to power treatments stations. the situation could get worse when winter rain begin. this will further mix drinking and waste water just a whole waste management system. and because of the high cost of bottled water for

people are forced to rely on these unreliable sources. living on recorded its 1st case of cholera in refugee camp for syrians and early october. it's 1st in 3 decades. that came weeks after the disease was detected in neighboring syria. if we don't control the brick in syria to be very difficult to fully control the big and on those, there's also water pollution in city also can have significant implications for the water, pollution 11 on specially with many you know, of the water resources shift across the country lebanon is among nearly 30 countries fighting cholera with climate change and displacement among the reasons behind the rise in cases. and for a nation dealing with many crises, it couldn't come at a worse time. santa, for their northern lebanon. ah.
