argentina beaten to one by saudi arabia in the opening game at loose sales stadium . linelle missy led his team out for what will be his 5th and final world cup. and he put aside here to after 10 minutes from the penalty, sparse argentina head 3 more goals, disallowed the saudi equal, i some the 2nd half through salo, shuree, and then the unthinkable. saudi going ahead with a stunning strike from selling out the, sorry, a great moment and world cup history. argentina came close to leveling it up in the closing stages, but couldn't quite tune things around saudi holding on for a famous to one when. well, alexia bryan, is it saudi house, a place for the countries football fans together in dough? hi, and alexi has the reality of that epoch wing. when the sun came down there, i have to say, there has been such a merry mix of both jubilation and speechlessness. from the saudi fans here,

and they speechless. not only because of that surprise when over argentina, but media are actually hor, sperm cheering for that same throughout the match. it has been described as one of the biggest days for arab football, possibly in history. not only because the saudi one, but also because shanicea managed to hold off against denmark, but for the saudi fancier. they've told me that never in their wildest dreams, but they'd have imagined that they would win against argentina. you have to remember saudi brenda. 51 in the world up against argentina. they're number 3. they have a team of leon al nancy. they won that the honda america. they are actually favorites to win this tournament. and really, you know, many bands came down here to watch the game. many more bands streamed down to that surprise when wanting to come down and celebrate with bands, not just from saudi arabia, the whole song from around the region as fighting the plans, turkey from algeria,

from morocco. everybody coming down here and really embracing about on, on may about how much of a big deal this is not just the saudi arabia, but for across the world to have such a shock. when i come to be held in the middle east. now the saudi fans now is that they had thought a tough couple of matches ahead of them against mexico and against poland. 2 are playing like this evening, but they say for the minutes they only doesn't group say they are very, very happy with that. and the summer did to may mainly it was may say, because really it's not him that bands are talking about today, but it is the green falcon. well they start shop when over argentina. fancy a very, very happy i think the parties. yeah. which you could probably hear behind me a lot of music, a lot of fan waiving, i think it will go on to some tommy, it has certainly well thank you so much that to lexia brian for us down and talk ha, often i'll, while jury is a football, endless based and saudi arabia,

he explains how people are reacting there to start things off. i think in the beginning it was more approaching towards the game. everybody was starting to have a laugh, so to speak, in terms of expecting to be beaten by the number 3 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, for my family really shocked and surprised in a positive way. absolutely. i mean, i mean, when the equalizer came in, i could barely remember a thing. i think that 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 i, i thought the hosp or depend or i forgot his name on new for you. i could say we are in the car, you put the kids in the back of a had to pull over aside in disbelief and pinch yourself probably to make sure is

this my, my great it. right. well, it is something very different right now. the crown prince's royal highness told the players, 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 mean 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, for now, i mean our, our ambitions are i to this guy so far, so good a. well, when you analyze the match, was it the saudi defense that play the major factor in this victory? have you see it? oh, absolutely. i mean, i, we are not laid out very dangerous and high line with a lot of people do not agree with the game up. 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 are going to play vertically and try to break your line. so how do you review to counteract 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 or it's trapped, one of the best attacking squads. in the 2nd game of the day, denmark ken, tennessee applied out a gola straw like her own defending champions. france play a strategy, but mexico have just kicked off their match against poland. little earlier sarah cabrera was with a group of excited mexican fans as they hit my foot to the game at the 974 stadium . i

. c you got it, i got a oh. and how did they feel to be nice my 1st time

in the region and the region and doing i woke up often. they will know how to experience so far. it's good so far. yeah. so i'm seeing lots of people wearing different outfits and you're wearing the traditional outfit for the gulf. yeah, that's because if people from this area are very friendly, and yesterday a friend said to me, this is a gift for you. where to morrow and you are today, and you are you excited to the game? that's just about the thought. very excited to meet with mexico for cars may go on . why do you think this guy is going to be? ah, i've been a said 3, a one cutters. contribution to international sports, diplomacy was discussed during a meeting between the u. s. secretary of state and the guitar, a deputy prime minister and foreign minister in doha, antony blinkin and shake mohammed ben. abdur rahman al fanny also discuss climate change and humanitarian assistance. the 2 men held

with most of 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 whether 11 degrees celsius there in tow. get with some heavy down pause. it brightens up as we go one into thursday. more in the way of present sunshine coming back 3, still want to shower circles and all the half of the country, but 18 cells isn't ok. that's a bit more like it. so similar temperature, therefore, shanghai, north of virtue 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 where the once again,

just pulsing its way into were vietnam into cambodia. casa thailand, scattering a shout, 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. come another season. wet weather, want to shaft this rancor, but the north of that it's dry to with sponsored by cattle and a ways for a meeting with me.

ah, you're watching the al jazeera reminder of our top stories, the salad and one of the biggest shocks and football world cup history, saudi arabia, b, selena, and mrs. argentina to one in the opening game. saturday. all the 2nd lowest ranked side in the tournament, argentina, one of the pre tournament favorite, spit up, been stunned by their fist to fate. dizzy stephen, guys, a have been celebrations by saudi fans across doha. detain was initially one down, but then to seek and health goals helps them come out on the top to key as

president says, he will move 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 security sources in northern iraq. assaye ron's revolutionary guard has targeted kurdish opposition groups in the region. a base north of the city of co cook was hit with missiles and kamikaze drones. local schools were evacuated and no casualties have been reported. it's the latest in a series of iranian strikes in the region to ron has accused to rainy and kurdish groups of stoking nationwide protests which have groups the country since massa. many died in police custody in september with a you in says more than 300 people have now been killed and the anti government protests in iran. and the situation is critical. human rights chief, ah, vulcan turk says the rising number of debts from protests in iran,

including those of 2 children at the weekend. and the hardening of the response by security forces on the line, the critical situation in the country. our office also calls on the iranian authorities to immediately impose a moratorium on the death penalty and to revoke death sentences issued for crimes not qualifying as the most serious crimes. i'm drained to national indonesia as president jacoby dodo has visited the areas worst affected by monday's earthquake. at least 268 people were killed when the trim hits the town of challenger and with java risk your teams are still searching for survivors tramped under the rubble. widow says his government will compensate survivors and families of the victims. jessica washington has the latest from shandra. this was one of the roads that was

blocked off due to a land slide that hit shortly after the earthquake. it's the road that the president passed through as he's been visiting the doctor, 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 swiftly arrived on the scene here in g. 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, providing assistance to families in need. those who have lost their homes. and there are various levels of compensation, depending on how much damage has been done to their homes. the highest amount being offered is around $3000.00 and us dollars. so a very difficult time for this community. still around many areas, remain inaccessible. around 10 areas were effected by land floods. the last we

heard from speaking with such a rescue, officials on the ground is that some areas, but not all of them have been cleared. and so it's still still a long way to go for this. for this effort, as we wait for updates here in john jude, the head of emergency response and recovery at the intonation red cross red, one common is in the affected area and he says there is still time to find survivors. i think the bottom of the fine barn people are people where is stripe in the bullets building also still for them. so that's why is that also with our colleague from start and then it's still struggling to find to maximize our up to the search and that i still in certain areas some of the building codes that normally yeah. why?

because most of the island in and where why is the most popular around the and building called also i we feel that love really well in some of the fact if people who. busy built the building the houses and we know that this also a roof area but you know, do, do the lan is still the main the fact are people also still doing this and i have thing in some of our mitigation also needs to be. busy more aware people to, to, to build here in, in the risky area. malaysia's former prime minister, maria den. yes. and has declined a request from the king to form a unity government. he an opposition leader on why abraham both failed to get an

outright majority. after saturday's general election, resulting and hung parliaments, no timeline, because he did all the discretion of the i bull. and i've said that i will give it got him the full respect and the discussion and would seek his advice and accepted decision was cities in china are tightening their cove at 19 restrictions. as in fiction surge, millions are being told to stay home. thousands of businesses have been ordered shut and many people say that fed up with the strict policy petrik falk has more from hong kong. full authorities and china might not like to refer to what's happening in a lot of different places, locked dance officially. but when you shut down schools and parson, so people 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 to

$30000.00 view case of infection on tuesday. that was close to china's all time high daily rate of infection had an april this year. most of those cases are in one joe and, and cha, ching, but the focus is really turned towards the capital which recorded another 30 percent spike and new cases compared to a day ago. and one of the new measure, the account that's come into 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. 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 coven 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 are trying to make small adjustments to it. lebanon has launched 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 any plan to succeed. st hot reports and emergency field hospital pur, 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. under 33 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 can't afford hospital fees. you have the line of allah. here everything is free. hospital phase, too expensive for me. in 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. ready to the management of it and. ready station, making sure that we have clean 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 the 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 the 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. so there was ita, northern lebanon, ukrainian police have rated several orthodox monasteries and keep accusing them of working with russians. special forces, a criminal spokesman, has condemned the right rushes orthodox church had jurisdiction over religious authorities in ukraine. but the ukrainian church cut off all ties a few weeks after russia's invasion or the war. and ukraine has had a dramatic impact on millions of people. yet, as jo, hold discovered, surrogacy clinic in the capital cave has continued operating throughout. the facility has been uniting babies born and was owned with parents from all over the world. olivia is in for her 7 months scam. the baby she carries is healthy but it's not hers methylated,

sheila. so i've decided to do this for a 2nd time. we are living through hard time, no income, no jobs, nothing. this time it's more about earning a living. if i can, why not? even in wartime, keeps state of the art biotech clinic produces 5 babies a day for a surrogate, a fee of up to $70000.00. the women take home around a 3rd of that. when war broke out in february, it seemed the capital might be captured by the russian army within days clinic director ego puts an ogre, led a hurried evacuation, except that that really was no safer place for 30 babies to stay. and with more being born, every day, the doctor moved into the clinic with them, where he remained full time ever since. was there ever a moment when you feared for the lives of the women in the babies in your care here? is often always, always there was in the moment when i didn't,

he shows us around cryogenic storage tanks maintain healthy sperm and embryos at minus a $190.00 degrees for up to 10 years. in vitro fertilization takes place in the lab before being transferred to the surrogate. this is the result of boy. boy's name is nathan canadian citizen sonya and manuel started the surrogacy process just before the war broke out. or what is our to move forward because we fight the war was not going to last long. the war is 9 months old now. and the parents have ventured back into the was to take newborn nathan home to canada. there full of praise for the ukrainians who made their dream possible. they are so brave that i had the impression that i said to myself, we have to be brave to come on. it's not you that isn't in war, it's them. so come on, you do it and be brave. you again, it survived the shelling of her.
