no, i'm fully bachelor. this is a new, sour life from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes on why abraham has been sworn in as malaysia's new prime minister after 3 decades in politics and nearly 10 years in prison. russian strikes in ukraine leave millions of people without electricity, as temperatures plummets. also this our china records, it's high as daily number of covey. 19 infection so far prompting the city of zang ju into a 5 day lockdown, and they're called the indomitable lions, but can camera room conquered switzerland in their 1st match at the cotton world cup? ah, thank you for joining as we begin in malaysia, where anwar ibrahim, the long time politician who spent years in prison has been sworn in as the new

prime minister. it follows saturdays election in which no party got a clear majority. his coalition won the most seats in the election, but former leader, why dania seen insists he secured a majority in parliament. let's go live to al jazeera, foreign sleep in quite a lump or for a so on why abraham's decades long way to become prime minister is over finally a floor instead of about the reactions 1st to his appointment. well if you're, if you've been a long time supporter of unwary bra him, then of course the celebrations. you know, some people are tweeting on social treating that this is the start of a new dawn on was coalition is seen as more liberal, more reform minded is also multi ethnic. and this is the combination of a decades long journey for on what abraham, who it started out his political career as a parents, he was once a deputy prime minister turned opposition leader when he fell out with the then prime minister mahatma mohammed, he was in prison for sodomy and corruption,

but his jailing led to launch scale street protests and the birth of a reform movement. he managed to unite very different groups of very different political parties, with very different political ideals. he united them. he let the opposition movement from strength to strength until it finally achieved victory in the 2018 elections. even though at that time he was jailed by another prime minister. not your brother also on charges of sodomy, but those charges were widely seen as politically motivated. now, on the other side though, people who are unhappy that on one brought him has been appointed as the next prime minister as the prime minister of malaysia. and that is by supporters of the national alliance. this is the 2nd largest block off the 2nd largest block following saturday's elections. we didn't. yes. and insist he has majority support . he says he's got members from the national front individual members of parliament from the national front, who've expressed the support for him. and he,

and watching a press conference that he helped justice on what was being sworn in. one can help a think that his remarks seemed to suggest that he may even table a vote of no confidence against annoyed by him when parliament reconvenes. okay. floor and thank you very much for that for all 3 live there in carla for. well, abraham has been waiting for this role as you heard, for decades he began his political career in 1982 and rapidly wrote through the ranks holding several ministerial positions and becoming deputy prime minister in the 19 ninety's. but he fell from power in 1988. after being fired from cabinet accused of sodomy, an accusation he dismissed as politically motivated, he served 6 years in prison before his conviction was overturned. on what made a return to politics in 2008 after his wife stepped down from her seat and force a by election. so he could stand for office that speak to abraham sophia about this . his a pollster an executive director of medical center, which is the public opinion research organization and is joining us via skype from

carl on for thank you very much for your time and for being on al jazeera so on. while abraham wising from power of rising from prison or rather to prime minister today, he was time and time again denied the premier ship. just tell his 1st how significant this moment is for him and, and also for malaysia as a country. well, thank you for him. young and what abraham has been in the political wilderness in leisure for over 2 decades. you know, he came into the political scene in the me, i keep it these and quickly rose into a position a very a prominence. but then he fell out of favor with prime minister doctor matthew and his serv twice in prison. and i think mister annoy, you know, has been a very persistent and hopeful person that's been championing democracy and human rights. and at the same time, talked about the need, the reform militia, as government and ry. so society to move away from identity politics and embrace

the diversity of the country. that's interesting. let's talk about that. i, as you say, his persistence seems to have paid are finally and for decades as he said, his call for inclusiveness in an overhaul of the political system in multi ethnic militia. but can he achieve this today? will he be able to unite the country, which has been very much polarized, as we've seen in this election. but we still annoys present. it was a unique opportunity in many ways, you know, this election producer very strange, but at the same time an opportunity for them to a face. no one has been a gradual decline in terms of the trust in institutions and also increasing reliance on identity qualities to mobilize popular support with mr. unwise in government. and he's called in by nurse the old really by the national friend. we slot pretty badly in the selection. i think both sides that are now working

together in a new quote, listen, government have a lot of work to do in order to e, improve the image b, address the fundamental issues that divide, listen society and 3 work together to bring investor confidence back into the militia, economy of the militia has been affected by the pandemic economy. recovery is there, but is trickling down the list slowly. so this new government doesn't really have a honeymoon period. right. and it's opposition, a sizable and strong. that there is no honeymoon period, as you say, and we've already heard from the former prime minister that he's going to challenge this. what will this new government look like? can naples be political stability when there's still so much division? you know how much supports will unwind abraham's party be able to get within parliament. well, i think the 1st said it was be so unwise will have to overcome would be the formation of his cabinet. he needs to have

a cabinet that is formed by individuals from the parties that mika is coalition government with the all really but the, and therefore he has to find a way to accommodate them. but at the same time, it's filled out. individuals that are at the 3rd with a garage and he shoes or mismanagement in the past, li has to put in place a can be net that conveys credibility and competence. at the same time he has to probably face the child is very soon in order to prove that he has majority support environment. one of the 1st agenda he has to do is the guy whom one has to pay the budget for 2023. and this has to be done within a month period of time. and so he has to consolidate his position. he has to a fairly good working relationship with his new coalition partners. and at the same time convinced the rigid body that he and his new team has a plan to fix. what's wrong with militia and move the country forward?

certainly a lot of challenges ahead for the new prime minister. thank you very much for talking to se brain, sophia, for joining us there from color lamp, or thank you for your time. the war in ukraine now, and the european commission chief says the u. s. pressing ahead with more sanctions on russia in response to wednesday. it's miss al, attacks on ukraine. moscow is being accused of weapon ising winter as it targets ukraine's energy facilities. wednesday strikes knock top power and water supply in the cave region. more than 3000000 people were without heating in sub 0 temperatures. power outages also affected other regions from khaki in the north to live in the west, as well as the odessa region in the south ukraine state run energy friends has 3 nuclear pants, have switched off their power units where we challenge as more from the ukranian city of fish, garad, i think there's one word for the condition in ukraine in the moment and that is miserable. there are millions of people across the country who spent the night in

cold, damp, chilly apartments, and homes with no power and no running water. this is disco rhodes, on the outskirts of the capitol cave, and this is a place that yesterday with targeted by a russian missile. it destroyed an apartment building here, killing 5 people, just up the road. there is also a power plant. so presumably, the russians were adding for that, but i missed and instead they got an apartment building. now. emergency services have set up a tent here to help people in the area. this is where you can come if he wants a bit of warmth. and something hot, we can speak that leone. here he's an emergency services worker. aliana. what does this place? what's going on here? hi, it is our in winter book when people comes here to drink some tea or coffee maybe eat some cookies to spend the time in the

warm place to church. the phone you can, you can come and side is going to have a look. okay, so let's grab a camera going fast. it's a little cramped in their apologies if they're the lens folks up here. but as you can see, conditions are kind of basic but you know, it's warm and there is power. there's some way to lie down as the hot drink, and that's what people need at the moment. so in the moments there is still 70 percent of kids. that is without power. though the mayor italy police co says that emergency services have been working throughout the night to try and get power back up for the city. there's been water restored on the left bank of the city, but still on the right bank. it remains powerless. there's something else i want to show you here, which is a rabbit. in

a box. this was found bouncing around on the streets, presumably from the destroy building. and the emergency service here are saying that they are finding animals like this. and when they do find them, they bring them to this invincibility points and the owners, when they can, can come and collect them. meanwhile, in russia preparations for a possible new offensive and your offensive are underway with new weapons being introduced to mom, the valve reports office at the box for rushes, forces in the war in ukraine. these videos, broadcast by the ministry of defense, are widely seen as a morale boost for the public. the country's leaders say you cannot lose miss stella. she knew we had to come to the wrong girl because we are together and i knew the truth is behind it. and in truth, there is strength. which means that victory idea,

the victory will be out on me, sees suggesting russia, military domination of see were broadcast across the country's television screens and social media platforms. on saturday. the no one questions the size and power of rushes military. it has the world's largest combat tank fleet, its largest self propelled artillery system, the 2nd largest military air fleet, the 2nd largest number of war ships. and it was $1300000.00 personnel including resets, but many are questioning. it's perform. the russians are wondering how can a country, with all this military superiority with bottom off to bottom in front of a much smaller army like that of ukraine, is miniature w. then excuse me, how do you assess for special military operation now?

you know, told me it's difficult to get the reaction on the street if against the ukraine backed up by more than 50 industrialized nations, the so called ramstein coalition. and in such a war of attrition against the coalition of industrial nations that have a g, d p, more than a 100 times that of russia and military industrial complex also bigger than russian and have more sophisticated weapons as a war, russia cannot win, perennially reduced on 9 november came the big shock, the minister of defense on the advice and request of his most combative field commander. sergey. sir avi king ordered the withdrawal of russian forces from hampson. it was the only regional capital russia had captured since it invaded ukraine. and now russia is on the defensive. so

russia right now hopes that they are inflict enough casualties on the ukrainians the they will suppress ukrainian or oak tricity grid and that ukraine. and that the, the economic crisis, the energy crisis in the west, will make the west put pressure on ukraine for some kind of ceasefire. russia desperately needs a ceasefire because the continuation of the war brings a russian defeat back. and russia preparations for a possible new offensive underweight of an gout. supersonic missiles are being mobilized. and on friday, moscow announced the 2nd test launch of its most destructive conventional weapon. the surmount, intercontinental ballistic missile, popularly nicknamed satan, ah, don't boss region. soldiers are being trained on what's described as you and

previously unknown weapons. moscow's message appears to be. russia hasn't exhausted its means and thus left many wondering what the next phase of this war would look like. i'm at one, a da 0. moscow. syrian media reporting the former commander of the kurdish syrian democratic forces. reason callo has been killed and attack is shown strike anchor has launch an air operation against kurdish groups in northern syria. take here consider is the current y, p g and p k, k as terrorist groups and blame them for blasphemy stumble. a week ago, 24 find to every 4 to be been killed in strikes began. 4 days ago. china has recorded more than 31000 koby 19 cases in one day, the highest so far. the city of james, you is not preparing to lock down for 5 days. the world's biggest apple iphone make a fox gone, has apologized to work, is that it things you factory after protest turn violent employees are against

trying to strict. we'd $900.00 policy and want better pay. patrick frank has more from hong kong. reports say that the unrest of the folks compliant and john joe has now been brought under control and the companies agreed to pay work is that the recently joined the equipment of around $1400.00 us dollars to end the protests and leave the campus immediately as far as we understand, they were upset of working conditions and in particular because they were forcibly being exposed to other workers that have been infected by the virus. they rule so complaining that folks gone had failed to pay them the salaries and bonuses that they'd been promised. now it's unclear what's of impact this is going to have on apple precisely, but chinese media report say that as many as $100000.00 people had come to work at this facility. following recent similar unrest which saw many workers flee from the plant saying that they'd never come back again. really because of the

same source of complaints. and remember this plants and joe joe accounts for around 50 or 60 percent of apples. i firm production capacity. so undoubtedly, this is going to mean serious delays for orders and shipments moving forward, but this will also have reputational damage for apple as well. and the company will need to consider very carefully what the supply chain implications are. and what sort of challenges they're going to face brought on by china 0 of the approach. separately, china registered its highest a daily rate of infections today. just over 31000 cases recorded easily surpassing the previous peak hit in april earlier this year and authorities are continued to tighten curbs and places like cha ching, and wong, joe, and beijing and shanghai is also creating a lot of uncertainty for people here in hong kong, because for the last few years, china's opening up and the normalization of the situation. hong kong here has been

very much tied to what happens on the mainland even is called the un human rights councils meeting on the situation in iran, disgraceful and appalling. it says the u. n. has reduced the cause of human rights, 3 political till the united nation special envoy on yvonne has called for a motion against the country to discuss yvonne's reaction to protests. over the past 2 months, they followed the death of martha armine after she was arrested thorpe, state officials have instructed security forces to violent the repressed people at any cost to human life. at no point did the iranian authorities show any gender and willingness to engage in any discussion with demonstrators. any one taking part in the protest was quickly labeled as enemy to confront as terrorist or as foreign agent attempting to destabilize the run board. the head of the judiciary and the

president emphasized the need to act without leniency against protesters. the european union says serbia and ca, civil have reached a deal to end a dispute about car license plates in kosovo casa for the former prom and stuff savvy, and declared independence in 2008. which belgrade does not recognize as decision to ban sevien issued face has sparked sanction, ethnic serves, living in castle or facing finds if they didn't change their pace. i would like to point out that we also read that in case of obstruction bite, either party d u facilitator may terminate the process together review especially or presented the meter for pleasure. i will continue to facilitate the brushes of normalization of relations, an update. it will be a union member to state partners regularly about the progress achieve my department or let me speak to care. lindsey james care lindsey about this is in london,

and he's a research associate at the london school of economics. thank you very much for being with a strange so ideal over license plates. how important in achievement is, is to and the dispute and normalize relations between belgrade and possible. well, i mean, there's 2 ways you can read this. so if you look at the a major issue, all the dispute open license plate is enormously significant. you know, this was an issue cause a lot of tanks in, in, reached, impacted recent years. but in a wider sense, you know, it really don't sort of have a home whatever the situation where, where the culture will rejoice today because they've reached agreements over license plate when they're all bigger issues to be dealing with. so i think, you know, we can recognize that in the immediate sense, this is a very positive thing, but more generally, you know, as i say,

i think we need to focus on, on a much bigger picture, which is real hailing anyway. it's the international community. yeah. but the you, as you know, has been hailing this deal unimportant. what do we know for us? what, what in the details of the deal itself, what does it say? well, the century, i mean, the problem just comes down to the the many of the subs in color. odyssey still rejects the authority of the, the costs of the government. still look to belgrade is the key saw or bubble, 30 and filtering cio over culture and being driving their cause undisturbed. number plates now, cost of government, unacceptable. you have to move over to call phone number plate. and many of the subs were just simply saying, we're not willing to do that, we want to retain each they use. so there was a dispute that was a rising survey, was still issuing the place. next was what the real problem came down to. so essentially what it seems that they've agreed is the cost isn't going to start

imposing falling on subs, continuing to use a number plates. but serbia parts is agreed that when they issued number plate, it's not going to put a cost of those $60.00 designation on it. in effect, so be retain. we're not going to claim costs about directly called about sovereignty. but when we shoot the number plates, as you said, the lot, lot of bigger problems here in this story, both bow grades and brushing, have put in beds to become a member states, but neither is likely to join the blog while their dispute remains unresolved. right? so you have this belgrade pristina dialogue, which is backed by the you, which is aimed at normalizing relations between them. but it's been at a standstill for years now. what in your view needs to happen to reach a comprehensive settlement on, on this issue in between these 2 countries where to start?

i mean, the problem is i think we missed critical junctions to try and get the 2nd month. i think there's been moments when it looked like we were heading in the right direction and then it was thought, i think i'm to be very honest. i think this is a terrible failing on the huge be focusing on, on the small little issues. i can see the boundaries sometimes of having these sort of confidence building measures. but i think that we really need to focus on getting a comprehensive checklist to in belgrade. and i think the problem that we have at the moment is the political forces in power in the region. especially next let's focus on the, the, you know, the cost of a prime minister has come in for a lot of criticism over his particular position on the handling of this mean. so that seems very difficult to see how they can be a genuine dialogue between the 2 sides to reach a comprehensive settlement. so i think what we're dealing with is a very, very long history of problems had missed opportunities. and i think, you know,

a lack of real political will unreal political thinking and how to deal with this issue. so a lot of hurdles still ahead. thank you so much, james care. lindsey for talking to us about the thank you for your insight. thank you. ah, it is 9, the 1st match of the day at the well cap kicked off just a short while ago, a switzerland up against cameroon, victoria gate and b is that the populace sport for fan still has. so why keith? victoria, what's the mood like there? right now it's a really please say, a really friendly me. there's lots of band from uruguay here gathering before they go up to that match later with south korea. we just had a really nice moment where the uruguay bands were with the saudi bands who are still celebrating 40 hours after that when and they will holding this dowdy flag up and sharing and chanting. i'm with a fan from uruguay. now uruguay hosted the very 1st we'll come at that at what does

as some snow showers in warsaw as well with the high of 0 off to north africa, we go wind warning and play for the northeast of libya at northwest of egypt as well, so that's kind of toss around the sand and dust and that will impact the visibility southern africa. let's focus on south africa right now. some showers along the coastline here. also seen those winds pick up. so for south africa's kazoo lu natal province, few showers around though i suspect it will probably be dry in durban with a hive $26.00 and look at habit eroni. we've got you in for a high of 35 degrees on thursday. okay. i'm out of time season. ah ah

you know, shop when we're seeing who comes with a lot of experience, of course, playing for by an munich. and we've seen a couple of chances from our boss teams. but it looks like a very evenly contested side. and also for switzerland very special day for breeland bolo, who was born in your own de cameron, and is now playing against his home country. all right, let's go to brenda kevin, now sports journalist with the guardian post daily newspaper. she's watching that much in do ala read the what have you made of this much so far? i thank you very much. i will send her life from your transfer and the fund now with their budget is that they have a have plans that will have a my last

photo sales. oh, sorry to say so most of the successful title company she in the 5 time champions, brazil, they kick off their campaign against serbia later and group j. brazil are currently top of the fi, fi rankings, and all the song favorites against sarah b aside rank 20 place below them. they have not one of the walls cub since 2002 bel, last time it was held in asia the, you know, we bought this massage guy didn't choose the most. i can't bear the responsibility for the last 20 years and the whole history of such a beautiful thing is the brazil national team. i've been the coach for only 4 years . we have a beautiful history, and of course we feel the pressure. brazil is a country that's very passionate about football, where people gather in the streets and especially for the youth football. it's also

a tool for educational ok. it was a 1st of all on paper. brazil are the favorites, but we've seen some socks in this to arm and what do you think? well, i understand that, sir. you know, there's been very incredible sharks here, but our brazil are very early favorites. you know, to win the title here in guitar and looking at the squad selection there you can imagine a scratch that doesn't even have fear amino coming out to play at such a big stage. but our name, of course, has been having a good season. we the a p s g. they have a couple of guys were informed in the rest of europe martinelli doing a great job. gabrielle has seuss at arsenault. and that experience is what they're going to bring here. and of course they know that, you know, again, tina or, you know, suffered in that strong defeat against us, our very abuse or anything can happen. but all eyes on this one. i think brazilian favorites are about serbia. how do you rate their chances sogba come in to this tournament as are the under dogs in that particular group?

and they know that they have a mountain to climb, but it can have some inspiration from saudi arabia and japan going into this one. will they more likely to be central to brazil's chris will unencrypted into 6th woke up the 1st played for brazil 12 rooms ago when copper was through the water to the foot of the paras, centureman saw would fall in mo gus cruises on the outskirts of cell pounded with people gay, hoping their own hero and bring home another tide. football coach bet, she teaches the game like a dance. a combination of hip twisty need lifting in chicago or brazilian swain. we add to that a touch of deception and you're ready to steal the ball from your opponent. ha, easier said than done. but young the mad followed the rules of his 1st instructor to the t. a digital college name or was very smart is school and on the field.

it went too far, little if don't but i will. sick wait to see a wolf quite from oracle today, but i know what i know now, put his date and so forth. when he value will need food. i live near, i lose it for his nadia. their back will out. later on we get our 1st look at portugal on thursday against corner mid. what's been a turbulent build up to the world cup for the captain, christiane rinaldo. the 37 year old lady's international debut in 2003 and one the euros in 2016. but as you can see, he now has no club. nevertheless, he looked pretty relaxed, less than 24 hours after he agreed to make contact with mass united. that decision follow the controversial interview in which he criticized at the club. he's teammate for club and country. buena fernandez,

gave his reaction to that now william into or could, he's not for look me christiane. i was always been an inspiration for me, and it was a dream come true to be able to play with christiana at the club. but we know that nothing lost revenue, it was great for me and it was good while it lasted. he hasn't discuss leaving man she slighted with me. it's his decision, a personal decision, an issue for him and his family. but. so we haven't discussed the subject where we're focused on the world cup, as we know how important playing flash routine is for christiano. and for all of us, kind of 1st pay to actually work having 2016 standard. they only fail to qualify on one occasion. they reach a idea in the payoff ahead of their 1st match. the gun approach was asked if portugal would be distracted by the rinaldo drama. i don't know and to be honest, i don't care. this is not our problem. i don't think it's

a big problem. everybody wants to room in the middle. what's what happens? a big stage, a big game at the world cup level. so i don't think normally this kind of struck annually or so there are 4 portable super so even at the age of 37, but they do have some other really good players. sure. how do you foresee the portuguese performing at this woke up? well, obviously we can start by talking about bruno fernandez. i think that they've had some incredible time together at manchester, united. but also this is a squad that you know, wants to support christian or they know. and especially now after that interview that he needs this more than ever. and they'll go into that gun game hoping to get the results, get those 3 points, and also gun at the blackston, the lowest rank team at the tournament. so this should be easy. peasy for part you go over the scene and half of the toner in to say that, you know, it's not a one sided game, but utter, gonna wear the darlings of african 2010 by reaching the call to find out how do you

rate this current him, this is a new squared and you have obviously did a you who plays here for outside in katara is one of the senior players on the team, but you have thomas, but days had an incredible season with national so far. mohammed kudos with i x, you know, in the champions league if you remember that incredible girl against liverpool, so that sort of new faces at yaki williams. switching his allegiance from spain to play for ghana. the coach, auto add door, has a lot of experience at man, so they're exposed, you know, to high level football. and i think that they also know that they are under dogs and this one. and they'll come out, you know, all guns blazing against her watch ago. but as you mentioned, they are the 2nd lowest rates through them and hoping obviously to punch above the weight, the portuguese probably will consider themselves as one of the contenders for the title, or at least as a doc or what you prediction for this match. i think it's gonna be very close and, well, let's say 2 to 2 sandra. so the rosie is going to school the gold thing. well and

jordan, i you, and i'm in kudos. i think for ghana and a port she go, let's see christian or another brace. all right. i sure will continue the conversation in a 2nd, but will stay in that group if you had to pick an outsider to go deep in the tune your go, i could actually be that seen all they made a late search in south america called find to book an automatic attacking pine bonnie, flyers and eunice at plaster. they've bought one of the most in form it filled with over the wonder of another. for me, a good tournament is just to win the 1st game. what comes after that is not something i'm thinking about. we know what we can achieve, and the most important thing for us now is to do things world and focus on the 1st game, which is the most important kind south. korea's main store song in men will play with a mosque against uruguay. the 12 month forward returns from

a surgical procedure to stabilize a fracture around the left. i'm sorry, so for the injury during a champions league match earlier, but it was gotten my hope is that he will feel comfortable as much as possible so he can feel at ease during the game that says he knows. and we know that after the century we cannot roll out any risks of that game is taking place that education, city stadium, joanna roscoe, when walk around this is education city stadium. it's pretty easy fans to get here from central doha, because only about 10 o'clock way by far, or metro with going to be hosting a gang throughout the store. now, as the name suggests, it is located between many international and local university and school campuses. and big at the hall to such an area with so many top brains from the hour. well,

you'd expect it to be cutting edge. it looks that way. 40000 feet. the stadiums on the nicknamed diamond in the desert because its shape. but this substance behind the sparkle, ah, organizes say this is one of the most sustainable stadiums in wealth sport around 28 percent of it is made from recycled materials. and you'll notice that the pitch is blood grounded, dumb on purpose, so that the rock and the soil surrounding it prevent the stadium from getting to halt. less heat means less energy needed to cool this huge space down. ah, this is one of 3 stadiums to have a sensory room that provides a quiet space for fans who might otherwise find a noisy and busy stadium. a challenging environment.

ah, what's the world cup is over? this whole top tier will be dismantled and sent overseas, develop football, either that reducing the capacity of the stadium to 20000 feet out. and this is how the other half will enjoy this world cup. as you can see, we're in the v i p area, very comfortable seats, food and drink on top. and if you're not into football, then there's also books on the art of falconry for you to be able to read. now off to this well cut finishes places like this, the i area must be turned into classrooms for the future generations to be still able to use the spin. ah,

last pet talk to take place here will be ahead of the courts final. ah, the walk from the changing room through this tunnel will come to represent the end of one of these teams journey up this welcome. ah, just to give you a quick update on the switzerland cameron match, it's half time at the moment and it's still goal us. while you're guar, i are one of the only 8 countries which have won the world cup and they've actually came to the trophy twice. but it's been a long time since the glory days are latin america editor, lucy newman, has more from one to video. i'm in what looks like quite an ordinary residential neighborhood in monte vale, except that there is nothing ordinary about this street. this was once an enormous

football stadium where the was 1st world cup was played back in 1930. it was all demolished except for this. this line indicates where the 1st goal passed in the 1st world cup. on the 13th of july, at 319 in the afternoon. the final game was played here in the centuries stadium. the only stadium in the world has been declared a historic football monument by fi fi. and it's right next to oral guys fascinating football museum. and here's another fun fact. this was the 1st ball used in the 1st world cup. in those days, they wait for kilos. pure leather, could you imagine a header with one of those, but that wasn't the only problem with the ball. it turns out that in the final match of the very 1st world cup, argentina insisted on using its own ball and worldwide the same thing. so they

decided the 1st half would be played with the argentine ball, they one to nil, but in the 2nd half it would be the herb wian ball and look what happened or why $14.00 against 2, and became the 1st woke up winner, a risky you go i want twice, 1st in 1930 and then in 1950 desert because the original world cup 30 centimeters to cooler or pure gold to original one was stolen in brazil after it had won the cup for the 3rd time stolen from a museum for for a long time the scent 10 re was the world's most modern stadium. clearly a lot has changed except for one thing 72 years after it's the last world cup when we're a wines are dreaming, more than ever a bringing the cup back home. so as, as portugal are the favorites in their group, how crucial is the match between your g, y,

and south korea for both sites. actually when you look at this particular group, every game is you know, like a finer, and that's how both teams will be approaching that one because you don't want to go into the last group fixture and a lot of pressure. so you are gray and south korea, they know they played each other twice at the world. yo guy has won both times. so, you know, south korea will be coming for some revenge. but we've seen south korea and you know, before knockout, a giant like germany from the woke up. so this should be a proper platform for them to show what they can do. at this tournament. we've seen the euro coins at the world cup, become regulars in the knockout rounds in the last few tournaments. how do you think the sir group will fair? i think this is like they're coming to the end of a generation. you know, co vanny and sure is surely this is the last well kept together. and you can see that says of, you know, this is our last time to come out and i think that they're looking good. they have a mixture of experience and youngsters like eunice who has been doing well at least

in the last few weeks at liverpool. so you want to come and, you know, do his very best to help his country to get to the knockout stages. all right, now this woke up keeps throwing up surprises. and this time it's germany with plenty to think about. they were beaten by japan in their opening game. the germans took the lead. the 2nd half goes from center. i blew, gave one when a number of sit in the group stages. they full of his was the scene when the final whistle blew, tokyo's famous, she brewer crossing only the 3rd time germany had lost this tournament. opening game of the defeats against algeria in life. they do, and mexico 2018 japan time sportswriter dan. all

alerts is joining us now from tokyo. den. what has been the reaction from the japanese capital? ah, obviously everyone is ecstatic. this was a historical wind and for the samurai blue, possibly the most important when a japanese football history a truly unexpected against a country that offered so much to japanese, proposed development. going back to the 1960 s a. so for them to win in this fashion, at a world cup is truly unprecedented. then do you think the fans truly believe they could pull this up? said when i think that the fans believed in these players and believed in the potential of these players. they've been watching them come up from the j league, go to europe 19 of the 26 and the squad are playing in europe and 3 more of had european experience. so they know that these players are capable of being world

class players and beating world as opposition. whether or not they were expecting a win against the, the 11 frank club, their team in the world. that that's another question. i mean, we always knew was going to be an uphill battle of but i don't think anyone played expected the level to which a japan would rise to the occasion. so japan have reached the last 16 at the world cup a few times before. do you think the fans believe that can do so again in 2022. i think there with this when they actually do believe and i think now the focus isn't just on the last 16. it's about getting to the quarter finals for the 1st time in japan are playing with house money at this point. i think that with another win against costa rica in the next game, they can go as far as they want to go. i just quickly that fancy themselves against costa rica right now would mess i think. absolutely. it's going to be a tough game. i think the costa rica will be looking to improve upon their formats against spain. and they'll know how japan played against germany and the strategies

that they use, no, the ready to, to play against that. but if you're supporting japan, i think you should be feeling pretty confident then. all right, thank you so much slamming talking to you. that's all we have time for today. i should come with you. so thank you very much. lovely talking to you as well. that forget you can get more woke up content on our website. l 0 dot com. forward slash woke up. we are back at $1330.00 gmc, with plenty more from cut at $22.00, including the latest from the 1st game between cameron with al dental stadium, which is still neil neil t that ah ah
