ah, your want him in his our life from headquarters into ohio, eddie and abigail coming up in the next 60 minutes. you ministers are set to hold an emergency meeting in brussels to tackle the worsening migration crisis. another record number of coven 19 infections in china. as workers quit the world's biggest, i phone factory, citing a pay dispute, and pandemic restrictions. a day after demonstrations against a ceasefire deal fighting has now resumes in the eastern democratic republic of congo between government troops and m. 23 fighters. and we've reached day 6 of the cats, har worldcom van. it begins with wales taking on iran at this hour. ah, welcome to the news our we begin in brussels, that's where european interior ministers are gathering for an emergency meeting to

address the growing migration crisis. un figures show nearly a $165000.00 asylum seekers arrived in europe this year. 13 and a half 1000 more than in 2021. so most used libya, anton azia as the parcher points. they then crossed the mediterranean to italy and to malta, and to reach the spanish mainland. they lee from eastern morocco, from western morocco, the journey takes them to spain's canary islands. on other way is between belarus and eastern e u members. poland in particular, most attempting to cross their are from iraq, afghanistan, or from syria. so the ministers will consider which you nation's need to shoulder more responsibility. italy takes than the majority, but it's new government is now pushing for a compulsory scheme for all you members. so what can they do ahead of the meeting? the european commission set a 20 point action plan. it includes strengthening cooperation with other nations to

prevent people leaving their home countries and also improving the coordination of search and rescue efforts. we have natasha butler following the story for us from john kirk. but 1st, let's speak to dominic cane who's covering the meeting for us in brussels. so why is this meeting being held in brussels at this particular time? dominic the significance of this meeting taking place right now is 2 fold on the 1st level. you know that we know rather votes. the italian government is particularly keen for the e. u to come to terms with what the italian government considered to be a growing problem. and so far as migration is concerned, we know that the commission is you were outlining that as presented this 20 point plan based on 3 pillars. they say all of helping to ensure stability, helping the countries which have to shoulder the burden most. and then also working with partner countries on the other side of the mediterranean,

north africa and elsewhere. that's the stated aim. but behind all this is clearly the sense that the italian governments, with its agenda elected very recently where them much more right wing agenda than its predecessor wants to bring this to a head. we're not expecting any direct decisions to be made at this meeting. there is the suggestion that something will finite. some might well be presented to leaders at december's summit. there's also one of the thing to point out the most recent figures suggest that it's actually more than 165000 with perhaps 291000. that's coming from france exclusion. the most recent figures that have been put forward that's from sex, an e u agency, which looks after such matters, refugees, migrants found in the c and found on borders, that sort of thing. so that's what's behind this me saying this desire to come to terms with migration, but it is being driven to a certain extent by the concerns of that new right wing government in rome. all

right, thank you so much. donna kane, reporting from brussels less now speak to natasha butler. she's joining us runs and kurt, that's in the north of france. natasha besides being las channel and it's a key roots for people trying to reach the u. k. what's the situation like there now what you've got is many of those, some of those asylum seekers that reach the you via the mediterranean route or overland or via the so called western boykin's route, where some of them end up here in northern france in places like dunkirk and cali because they want to try and reach the u. k. their perception is that they would have a better life. they're more opportunities for work. sometimes our family, sometimes the english language makes, they think the english language is going to make it easier for them to integrate into society. and what they do is they wait here. and over the past few years,

we've seen asylum seekers either tried to smuggle themselves into the back of trucks or trains in order to reach you k. but in recent years, a real increase in the number of people taking the small boats. these inflatables across the english channel really risking their lives trying to reach britain that, that is what the french and british governments want to stop. they want to reduce the amount of people who are taking this a dangerous c route. they have recently agreed to expand an existing deal between the 2 countries to try and bolster security forces. here in france with more police officers patrolling the beaches, more surveillance, drones, and that kind of thing in an intelligence sharing, in order to stop people making those dangerous c crossings. while people are waiting to make those crossings, they are living the most desperate conditions. and we've been speaking to charity workers here in dunkirk, who tell us, look, what is really needed is not necessarily more police more security. what is needed

or more safe and legal ways for people to reach the u. k. so that they don't undertake the sort of crossings that was one of the main messages we got from angio and charity workers when we spoke to them here. and don kirk, they were commemorating the one year anniversary since a boat sunk in the english channel. at least 27 people died. a silent walk in dunkirk, charity work as lead at memorization in the northern french town for at least 27 people who died, trying to cross the english channel. one year ago most were curds from iraq, including children. so i thought it was really important to come here and to all, to remember what has happened and what is happening. so why the tragedy happened though, is still not clear. british and french officials traded blame over why the boat was

rescued. but some details have begun to emerge. a french newspaper investigation has revealed the victims repeatedly called french rescue services with their location, but they were sent no assistance and even at times seemed to be mocked. the transcript of some of the calls paints a chilling picture help please. i'm in the water says an asylum seeker. yes, but you're an english waters, replies a french rescue operator. no, no, not english waters in french waters. please come fast. then the phone line cuts and the operator is heard saying, oh, well, if you can't hear me, you won't be saved. despite the danger people keep trying, waiting for a chance in desperate conditions on the french coast. curren left afghanistan 2 years ago. doesn't want to apply for asylum in france, because he thinks life will be better in britain. but our thank you,

father. we have to go. of course, no one wants to die, but we have to go because we have no choice. you see, the british and french government recently agree to boost security and cooperation in france to try and stop the crossings, but charity se, unless there are more legal ways to reach you. k women, men and children will continue to risk their lives. natasha butler al jazeera dunkirk in china. health authorities have reported a record high of not new, covered 1900 infections. for a 2nd day, nearly 33000 were registered on friday. that's the most in a day since the pandemic began, the cities have gone through and chunking had the highest number of cases. restrictions have been imposed including locked downs and math testing. but the government's strict policies are leading to discontent. burns, i don't, don't. some one only by eating caves restrictions can people live in the will life . otherwise everything's hold. how many people have the savings to support them if

things continue as they are? and even if you have the money to stay home every day, that's not real. living. patrick crow cars more from hong kong. a lot of official announcements that are being made about new carbs and new measures that are coming into play are being made after they've actually already been imposed. in many cases, officials seem to be going about communicating things in a much quieter way, either through we chat groups or through our local level communities. and as a lot of reasons why that's happening, a part of it is to try and avoid any sort of alarm among our people in china. so when you ask, you know what to do in peggy's having on people, you know, been talking to people. they're saying there has really been a sort of big shift overnight because they've all been aware that cases have been ticking high and recent days it's been gradually tightening a day by day. but you know, we are hearing reports also. all the bit of panic buying with people stocking up

went groceries and a lot of delivery apps maxing at capacity as well. everything is pointed towards a much more sort of prolonged exit out of a 0 curve. it strategy. and there had been a lot of discussion that china may move out of this or a rad march when john is parliamentary sessions, take place. but it does seem it's going to last longer than that, particularly because of people's perceptions about the virus. and that of course creates a lot of economic uncertainty going ahead and brokerage mura has down graded. it's a full cast for the q 4 for q for g d, p to 2.4 percent from 2.8 percent previously. but you know, a lot of this really depends on government policy at the end of the day. let's reach a dr. patrick tank is the division chief of pathology sciences center madison. he's joining us from the how welcome to al jazeera. why is the number of new infections raising again in such a way in china?

well, 1st of all, thank you for having me. one of the main reasons why reading is that the buyer at this point in time is highly evolving, highly optimized, to transmit within human, and is able to invade the immunity that we have about previous versions of the virus, as well as some of the older vaccine so the population in china is somewhat under vaccinated and then the backing that we're news that we're not application that the m r and the back has been used in the western world. so their population is more susceptible. the virus is highly highly capable of beating. whereas china right now, where does it stand when it comes to developing vaccines to keep up with the strains? because at the beginning of the pandemic, as you know,

china has solely relied on domestic made vaccines. well, this is a difficult when there's a lot of effort in china right now in developing a similar back the m r and a back in. so they do have a chinese made m r and a back. i believe it being used in indonesia right now, and it's still going through the regulatory approval as well as production to ramp up production in china so. so they are trying to catch up in terms of acting technology. but the problem is that even if you look at the global scale, trying to catch up with the buyers all the time, as it evolved is a losing battle. there's no way that we can keep making back being to catch up with how the buyers, the current rate. so we need to look for other strategies. they're looking for better backing that are, give us more stable protection against multiple types of bearing, right? in china, the chinese authorities have continued to pursue this strict 0 covert policy in the

country. some people say, well, this could point to a real flaw in that strategy because you have a vast population in the country now without natural immunity. is that an assessment that you agree with is that what could be contributing to the right numbers difficult, so they have, every country is different. every country has different demographics in terms of how many elder the people they have. so. so i think the focus for china is that you have to protect the people, you have to protect the people that have compromised immune system or other co morbidities that would make them more susceptible to severe cobit so they need to target better vaccination rate. and those people get stuck into those people in order to prevent them from having serious don't. and then i think another issue is that, you know, china may not have all of the type of resources in the right area in terms of

health care for the people that are expected to have the year to be. so there could be a lot of elgar, the people in the more rural area and would not have ready access to the type of medical care they would need your bathroom because it, how does china's current numbers compare to global figured they, you know, they are still they're writing, but they're still, the recorded numbers are lower than what we would be out for around the world. there's a lot of background transmission around the world that we are not detected and get the rate of testing around the world. that's really the most countries, they're not really testing very much at all. so a lot of the transmission and infection are not reported all in the global numbers or, and we also in china. right. ok. got it. thank you so much for speaking to us. dr. patrick, thank thanks for talking to us from dell. how thank you for having. meanwhile,

more than 20000 employees angry at over 1000 restrictions on working conditions have left china's largest i phone factory and not to according to the reuters news agency. they were protested less of violence at the fox on factoring. jen, you earlier this week on thursday, the company apologized to new hires who didn't receive promise bonuses. blaming, technical errors. workers a face strict quarantine measures. mark einstein is the chief analyst for telecom and digital services with i t r a corporation. he says that apple might have to look outside of china for its supply chain. there are 200000 workers at this factory. so it is one of the largest factors in the world. it does make about 60 percent of all i phones, but very importantly, it makes 100 percent of the iphone 14 the 4th quarter because of the holidays is always the best quarter for apple. they're increasing their estimates of, you know, the disruption that this is going to cause. so this is

a fairly serious situation. problem. i think it will get worse before it gets better. you know, we're dealing with a very weak economy globally premium iphone devices like the iphone or 14 are already expensive. so if there are supply chain issues, this will be worse. and i think that ultimately q for sales for apple will be quite a bit lower than expected. so i think that apple and box can eventually are going to have to diversify their supply chain. i think india is in a very, very good position to capitalize on that. and i think that in the next few years, we're going to see upwards of 25 to 30 percent of fox khan, and apple's manufacturing move to india. so yes, diversification of the supply chain has been been highlighted by cope. it is something i think we will absolutely see going forward on tomorrow. head on the out there and including will tell you why a state of emergency has been imposed in honduras.

ah, fighting has resumed in the eastern democratic republic of congo between government troops and m. 23 fighters, the congo. these government has rejected any direct talks with the arm group and 23 say they have no plans to withdraw wanda, as widely understood to back am 23 fighters and allegation denies. were bringing in malcolm where he's joining us from kill money. ok, village that's near ago in the east of the democratic republic of congo. malcolm, what are you seeing where you are all the 5 things redeemed on the front of the, to the west of the territory that is controlled by a 20 to 30 is, is in this direction further to the north. so they're pushing west towards miss c. c. which is an area where they've controlled colton mines in the past. it's also an

area where they may be able to recruit some fighters. and if they keep pushing around that way, they can, it could potentially in circle and besiege the city of gamer. if they cut off the road that goes west from the city, a go, ma, which is just down there. and $23.00 is widely understood to be backed by neighboring rwanda. the board is just the one that denies it, and the group has rejected the international court to cease fire and withdrawal. we've learned from military sources that on this front here, the minute resources say, and 23 has been reinforcing its lines with more fighters, widely believe, to some of them be rwandan soldiers with more ammunition, with about 5 and a half hours to go to that deadline. so, fighting continued in the west and certainly no sign of withdrew. here am 23 is rejected. it because it says one direct talks with the congress government. and that's something that the congress government has ruled out. the congress

government says it's essentially fighting rolanda and say, says it will only have talks with rwanda in june earlier this year. it labeled and $23.00 a terrorist group and they can release. government says it's wanda, that must come to the table. and $23.00 says that they won't stop fighting until they can come to the table. ok, thank you so much malcolm lab reporting from the eastern c r c. the european union is appealing to israel to end the solitary confinement of a 21 year old palestinian prisoner manase. he was arrested in 2015 at the age of 13, accused of being linked to a stabbing attack. he's serving in 9 and a half years sentence with families asthma, also suffering from psychological trauma. as a result of being an isolation for nearly a year. a court has now extended that by another 4 months. meanwhile, tension between israel and palestine ins has been rising as newly as reelected

benjamin netanyahu try to put together a government that's an yahoo! lecount party has reached an agreement to offer far right leader bank of the or the role of national security minister netanyahu is alliance with givers. jewish power party is aimed at helping him form a government. let's bring in bernard smith in drama, in just a moment. and alan fisher is joining us from occupied east jerusalem allen to you 1st. and how worrying is the possible appointments have been give via for palestinians to this new role. and what does it mean for palestinians and is really going forward follows there certainly would be some concern. and certainly since the election is looked clear that bank via m at bank of year would be given a senior position in the government. he wanted to be at the interior security minister. it looks as if that is the position that he will get with some i did rules as well, including overseeing the border police. essentially the police force that looks

after the entrances into the occupied west bank. there are certainly those in the palestinian community who be concerned, but there are those in the international community who can sound to the americans. for example, are deeply concerned about been given the leader of jewish power will be given such a significant role. now the american say though what with whoever is duly elected and appointed by the israeli government. but they have concerns that they will have to deal with a man who has been convicted for inciting violence for hate speech in the past. and his connections to a group that had been recognized by the americans as a ted or group, but also a by the israelis as a tender group. and he will take a significant position at the suddenly a great deal of upset here over the last few days because of the reaction that we've seen from the israeli security forces after the bombing on wednesday. and we

know that in the, at the area of abbey gosh, for example, just 30 kilometers and from the center of jerusalem in west jerusalem, there was an attack over night. a number of cars were burnt out and there was races, graffiti left near by, including one that said stopped with the terrorist attacks that shows just how things have become here over at the last month or so. but particularly in the last few days that are rolling checkpoints all round the city, we can see that reflected in the numbers that attending it. at the more sca an a here in the center of jerusalem. the numbers don't significantly, we spoke to to one guy who come from bethlehem and they said it taken them 2 hours to drive from bethlehem into the center of jerusalem. generally that would normally take somewhere in the region of 15 to 20 minutes at most. but it's a sign, these rolling checkpoints that at the, at the israelites, these really are me, are concerned, but that consent as reflected right across the board in the wider community here in

jerusalem. okay. thank you so much. allen fessor reporting from occupied east jerusalem. let's now bring in bernard smith, he's joining us from the occupied west bank and i'm a lie in particular. so bernard just talked to us about the tensions that have been raising on the ground because this is one of the deadliest ears for palestinians. nearly a $150.00, killed by israeli forces this year alone. the deadliest year in the occupied west bank for 16 years. and while the tensions are rising with israel have been rising all year since. well before these railey election is actually very hard if palestinians wanted to, to get together in large groups and protests for those tensions if you like to, to expand it because israel has. so israel is so successfully divided up the occupied westbound created council. and it's just very hard for palestinians to physically move between areas compared to the 2nd intifada. the 2nd uprising was

now a separation wall. again, making it harder for palestinians to move around. so very difficult, practically to protest and politically. the palestinians have got their own internal political crisis, no group increasing deepening divisions between factor that runs the occupied west bank at hamas that runs at garza know elections for 16 years. and more than 80 percent of palestinians don't have any faith in that political leadership. but either in under hamas, in garza, or under the under factor and the palestinian authority in the occupied westbank. so there's no political leadership, nobody leading the palestinians effectively, no one for them to look to for political leadership. and as alan referred to, it's only going to get worse for the palestinian to the mob and give their likely to be in charge of the policing of. busy be occupied westbank, he's already promised a more permissive environment fees. railey soldiers and police went involved in

confrontations with palestinians. thank you so much. bernard smith, reporting from them a lot in the occupies westbank. her as prime minister has resigned after a fail bit to hold a confidence vote, and the opposition controlled congress. unable tourists had hoped to pressure congress amid tense relations between the chamber on the left, the government legislators have twice impeach president petro castillo, and fired. several of his cabinet ministers, with a seal, will now have to appointed prime minister. and just over a year, hunter has declared a national emergency as a steps up efforts to crack down on violence criminal gangs. presidential mar, castro has ordered police on the military to boost border control. the country struggling to tackle raising cases of extortion, drug smuggling hand money, laundry. napoli see nothing. none. the national police must recover in the shortest possible time. the public spices violated and controlled by the organized

criminals and their gangs to strengthen this strategy of immediate recovery of lawless territories neighborhoods, villages, municipalities and departments. i declare a national security emergency and command the national police twitter boss. a law mosque says he's going to reinstate thousands more suspended accounts in a poll. musk asked users if those that have not broken the law or engage in spam should be given. amnesty 72 percent of those are responded on plot form voted yes, musk controversially brought back former us president, donald trump and others taken control of twitter last month. so record rainfall has hit western saudi arabia killing at least 2 people. let's bring in our weather report. jeff harrington, who's tracking best just so how bad is it encoding rubio? well, you know, during, it was bad enough to set a new record for rainfall. so i want to show you the clump of cloud here that just

produce those torrential downpours of where the western saudi arabia city of jet. that. so how much rain are we talking about? we saw a years worth of rain, a fall within the span of a just 2 hours. now we mentioned this is record rainfall and it came exactly 13 years to the day after the last major flood event. so that was in november 2009. that's when the last record stood with a 111 millimeters of rain, but this time on thursday, new record there with a 180 millimeters of rain. so what did all of this rain look like? these are some of the pictures that we're seeing just cars swept away here, which account here in this video, is those cars crashing up against some of those houses? big question is, is that rain going to make it sure in round the golf for us doha, cats are no, i don't think so. and still actually by the way of risk of a few more showers in general. we also saw some big downpours in mecca medina, but that rain will not make it here. on friday,

the big story is actually there's winds through q a that's going to spin around the sound. it does. but i did want to put this on your radar will fast forward this a few days forward. on sunday, those winds are now going to shift around. and the winds will be a story for us here in katherine doha. so just something if you're heading out to the mattress, doreen, to keep in mind those fans hang onto it. well, because we could see a wind gusts of about 40 kilometers per thanks for the tip. thank stress. you got it. phil had on the auto renew hour. we'll be looking at today's matches and our woke up covers with santa lucia and peter summit that's coming up in just a few minutes. the ah, with december on al jazeera, the middle east 1st woke up takes place in guitar,

a place and the knock off date. and the 1st game of the day has kicked off. it's in group b, wales versus iran. it's currently scoreless of the $29.00. no. okay, we'll keep you updated on that whales. iran match, but for now let's talk about brazil. usher, co, makisha is year with us. i should brazil expected to be among the containers for the woke up as always. what did you make of their performance last night? well, that was a perfect start for them. i at the walk up here in katara, you could see that this is a young squad. yes. some of the players are playing at the walk up for the very 1st time, but they should absolute class in again that you know, right, which and so now, you know, go the 1st one that he scored full brazil and also really just sing name my feeling at home, he's had a great season. we the p s g. so to see him, you know, play the way he did and encourage the other young players. you know, rodrigo and the rest of them. it was really good to see a speaking of name either

a bit of into e consent. do you think if he is will, that will be a major setback for brazil will be a major setback. his or the poster boy of the steam barrow. so looking at the attacking line, the rest of the players are playing at the woke up for the very 1st time, some a very new like antony. but rodrigo finishes, you know, he has had a great season that sarielle madrid. and i think he has what it takes to push the team to the next level. but don't miss him for sure. all sign group g switzerland got a one nail victory over cameron. it means the swiss are 2nd in the group. the only goal coming from that breelle in bolos going against the country of his beth. christina rinaldo is now the only man to school in 5 world cups. she portugal 32 winners over gonna what is your main takeaway from that fixture? i think it was a good start for portugal. that's a very difficult group. you know how you have you guy who were sort of the deck

horses of the group. you have south korea, another tricky side. so good for them to get the 3 points out of the way i felt like they were very dynamic. they didn't know take long to react after ghana equalized to quick fire goals and do a back in it as a how disappointing was that result for the black stars. do you think they even had a chance against rinaldo? gonna come in to this woke up as the lowest rung team amongst all the other teams buddy stating here in katara. not so many people give them a chance, but i feel like they have some great players. you know, thomas potter did, are you who was in the 2010 squad that got to the quote to find those, the rest of them young players, mohammed, goodness did well. i felt a little bit shocked for the coach to take him off. but i think that they'll be disappointed with that performance, especially the result. but they'll dig deep are going into their next fixture on the scene. and group is portugal uruguayan. south korea played algola straw. yeah, you're a boy twice. hitler pose. kidding. this from frederick of over there late in the

game, mixed up for them. it's portugal on monday, with cellphone playing against corner les game on 5 days, england and the united states is thanksgiving and the u. s. and you can be sure there will be a lot of interest in this one. let's learn more about this fixture from samantha johnson. heading into cat at 2022. it was hard to find 2 sides struggling like england and the usa england have failed to win their previous 6 gains found to be you as they were little better. hi on samantha johnson. this is woke up 101 england manager gal southgate is used to criticism when he was a teenager at lyndon club, crystal palace, his boss told him to consider becoming a travel agent. instead, he went on to have a massively successful career, but at tattered 2022. the heat is really all england fans only want one results to

hold the cup just like they did in 1966. and to go into a tournament like this with a worse record in 30 odd years is not what the fans had ordered. hill means that players like defend a harry mcguire have learned to treat twitter with caution or developing talents like fill photon are being showered with so much love. the pressure is crushing. greg bol halter has been coaching usa for 4 years, and he both a 78.6 percent. when rate recent results would help that, though his captain christine politic knows how tough is at the beginning of this season. in the english premier league, he was trying to get his thoughts with his side chelsea. but here's a story about how his coat and pressure in the past. i'm going to take you back to december 13th, 2013 the day politic played for the usa and the 17th against brazil. he knew there were hundreds of scouts watching. it was the biggest game of his life, is called one goal and was on hand for the assist. he has a tattoo of the date in roman numerals on his wrist. it was the date. he says that

changed his life. ah, still in studio with archer congregation victory for england today will potentially insure a place in the last 16 for them. you think we'll get the job done tomorrow. it's going to be a bit difficult because the 2 teams of course, have a rivalry going on there. this couple of american players who feature in the premier league. so they know the players were playing for england, but i think england have an edge over the usa in terms of a, a lot of experience there. but also the youngsters in the team kind of soccer is, had a great season. we, there are snow and obviously macros. rushford at, muncie nighted. i think they'll have an edge there and england should be able to get the 3 points. okay, let's hear from the 2 coaches. now. we have to try to my history number one. and we're good at that, we're good for talking highly of ourselves as a nation and on the basis of very little evidence. so i'm, what we've got to do is perform on the field. and we know that we'll play

a highly motivated team, or perhaps even more motivated because if some of those types of headlines and, but we've got huge respect for our opponent. we know a lot of the players from our league and we know the quality that they have in the athleticism that they have. and so we've got to be our best. we haven't achieved anything as a group on the world stage. you know, when you're talking about, you know, england coming in forth in that come in and secondly, you know, there's, there's tangible things that you can say, ok, this group achieved something and we're not, we're just not there yet. we, we need to use this world cup to establish ourselves and then, you know, hopefully move to the next world cup and, and do the same. ok, england versus usa. i should like you say it should be in england victory when you consider all the various factors, right. but the is something very significant. and i found a very interesting in that the united states have never lost to england at a woke up. now granted, they've only played a couple of times. okay, so it's

a bit of a loaded statistic. nevertheless, there's that famous result from 1950 with the u. s. beat the english one mil. what are the chances the states could repeat that here ever? it's been decades since that results. i think that this english side, you know, looks very good. dec comfortable there. young. i don't have any pressure because going into the woke up. not so many people expected anything, but after that victory, i guess iran some english found the starting to feel, you know, and we could actually do this. and i think that their target really is to get to the quarter finals. and then they can see what can happen after that, but are looking at the sky just generally speaking. i think they have a good confidence in there and also, you know, seeing players like harry mcguire just recover. it just shows you the confidence that the coach has in all his players, and that atmosphere is good at its like this one. i said the americans have been regulars at well cups, but they failed to qualify for the russia 2018. how do you rate this current team? there's a bit of pressure on this current team because the u. s. or the next hosts over the

woke up in 2026. so they want to do a lot of work getting the square to get used to playing at this level before the, you know, play at home. but also you're playing a guest england, a very, very well experience sta, english side. so, you know, not so much pressure on the, on them, but the, there is something that they need to get those 3 points and then see if they can come out of this group on every wall cup. it seems the same question comes out that should it be called football or soccer? it can lead to heated debates, but a where did the world soccer even come from political haine explains. so last berry at this d. c club, they start young. does everyone have the i want to model? oh mom. hey, get here to learn the basics and even the drama. the one thing they already know is what to call the game there plays like soccer

soccer. but why would you not call again to use, play your feet and a ball? well, that's a good question. i thought so, so i put it to these little experts, please. our hands knew how to use our feet. it's not because the balls handbook and they've been ball shocker. you, you switched your feet in on your face, people in america they, they wanted to make it on soccer. actually, it's not in american word to find out the source. we spoke to the people who actually wrote a book about this. it all started when the 1st football rules written in 18. 63 at this london pub naming the sport association, football from their oxford students with a pension for adding

e. r to words made it up and ok looking pretty much all what was the kind of semi i restore chrissy at the time. so those kinds of people were doing these kind of thing. so they would call it reckless. they call it of brick a. so in short, they couldn't really add an e r to the beginning of the association. so they went with a middle part instead soccer. they found evidence. it was commonly used in the united kingdom of to around the 70s. and then it just, it is such an interesting question, right? how a country or culture decides to orphan one of its own words. we could not find a single parallel case of this. there words that fall out of fashion, right? or that used to be common and then we decide there offensive. and so there too. but we cannot think of a single case where a country says do not all work here in d. c. the word is proudly played. i an american football,

they're like 2 players that ever use their feet on this ball. so should a change with football make more sense? yes, these kids, it's a unanimous. no. not in the usa paddock line out 0. washington. one p. m g m t. it's m must win game in group a when the champions of africa, senegal, and the host of asian, the asian champions, katara meat and the which is and is there for us at alpha mama stadium. and yeah, i'm only guessing that the host nation are under a lot of pressure and they need to show us different side from the one they showed us in the opening match. yeah, this thanks. couldn't really be much higher either teams. you lose your opening game. it will put yourself under a huge amount of pressure. it's been such a strange build up for this cat or not any playing in the 1st will come because of the a long day to bidding process whereby they will in the bid in 2010 knowing that this

will cup is coming up in 2022 for this generation of players, the vast majority of which have known each other for a long time coming through the countries national as far economy. they've had to stay in their diary after 12 years on the if they can get into the national thing. they know they've got a world tough opening games to play. when it came down to it. they just weren't able to forward anything like that sort of level. they play when they, when the agent come in 2019 same group supplies like a shadow of shadow up. and so just to tell you about where we are today at the out, my mistake here in september 2010 before this venue was built. that capsule showed off the approach to talk venue, which had the air cooling system minutes, which is now in place. it's 7 of the 8 world cup stadium syrian capital. and it was that prototype is one of the key factors in convincing speeds for the capital. could become well kept post. so in many ways this is the sites where capital is welcomed. journey began and the national team will be hoping it's not where it's

finishes. let's have a quick listen to the head coach, felix sanchez. and what he had to say at the pre match press conference must yeah, the, the actual double mini national teams and they're opening matches. they had results that were not desired. but beyond the result, we would have wished to show a more competitive level to be at our level. and that's what we'll try starting from today. i don't know. maybe we will know this and that influenced the decision making the execution. it took us a long time to be ourselves again. now with the next game, we'll try to show a real level and so that if people have seen us play, they know we can give more than what we gave him. the 1st match. we will try that and we want to be competitive and compete as much as we can. again, cynical love, which we know have many strengths and very few weaknesses. and he really and the african tompkins and the synagogue. it's also a make or break game for them, isn't it? release? as you mentioned, this is a match between the african champions and the agent champions so far as well.

things have been defeated the south american champions, argentine ref last and the european champions didn't even qualify. so it's a, it's a hard one to protect this. well, i think will cynical will tell you from their opening match against the netherlands, is that unlike the capsule game that could, which is effectively over within half an hour when they went to nail down cynical game deep into the game against the netherlands to like goals is really the difference in that match, so they will take a little bit of confidence from that. but i'll see say saying ok, saudi mon, i or mainstream kid isn't here at the bond minute player engine. of course, just in the building to this tournament, it is time for somebody other place to really step up and take responsibility. he is a man, he knows all about well cups to success. see, say, let his country as captain in 2002. when they beat the title whole, this france and the ottoman group game and they went all the way through to the quarter finals. so they've really got to step up so far. we've still not seen

a win from an african same this well cup last night. so i'm going to get a consonants 1st goals, but nobody connected with african football wants to say repeat of 2018 when no side from africa made it through to the knockout around. so a huge amount of state chapter 5. change here, this match today and do it isn't alive from alpha mama stadium. thank you very much . o'connor, as it was mentioned the, it's the african champions against the asian champions. usher under normal circumstances. this is the kind of match that we would like to see. be a celebration of the sport, right? but given what's at stake, i. e. e e, both teams or the loser of this met facing potential elimination. we could actually see the, i said, cuz we've already had 4 of them, another mil know here with both sides being terrified of losing the fixture. what do you think about that? well, absolutely. i mean, when you remember when the draw took place here in door her, in april, every one was sort of excited. shank, you know, this looks like

a fair group for synagogue, but we've learned in, you know, sisters, that of this woke up that anything can happen. and now synagogue got into this when wanting to really evoke, you know, that her anger spirit and all the fans back home are under pressure. yes. but the, they're still believing in this side. there's a lot of changes. i think that the coach and needs to make going into this fixture for qatar pressure, you're the hosts, then you know, you lose a 2nd game and you're the 1st him to exit from the tournament. so both teams will be approaching that one. now with a lot of caution, but also trying to make sure that they get a point or at least a good result from this one. i say in brazil in 2014 to african teams reached the law 16 for the 1st time at the world cup. but been 4 years later in russia, no african team reached the last 6. another synagogue were little, i'm lucky not to ever ever, ever achieve that, but the facts or the facts, right. and now we look at this woke up not looking so good for our consonant right now. as we speak. obviously it still can change. but why do you think african teams

are struggling? i think that there, there's a couple of are, you know, different her, you know, factors that are leading into that we no longer have, you know, the world class players that we had at the time and talking about did their job or some while at all. and as with all due respect to mohammed seller and our said, your money, but now you have for 2 straight. well, caps, we don't have the biggest players from the continent at the walk up because of injury 2018 mama's fella getting that injury. you know, in that game between liverpool and real madrid and then it affected egypt approach . but that's just a small excuse. i think that african teams need to prepare better when it comes to big tournaments like these. of course, the creation of the u. s. a. nation's lead means that the african opposition doesn't regularly play against the european sides who are really the best in the world. but a lot more has to go into also aggressive development and planning for the future. there's also been changes to the coaching staff for most of the teams when you look at ghana or to do you haven't had enough time to train with these black says same

thing goes to reagan about song. so for me, all these disturb, belies the preparation of a team go right? and just to clarify, when i sit out continent, all 3 of us in the studio actually from africa is a bit of an a you late show here. now what. ready one from new york city will be the biggest group. authentic leads immigrants in the usa. they will pack one of the most popular with african restaurants to watch the game. as my singles defeats the netherlands, they're still holding out hope of reaching the last 16. gabriel elizondo has been sitting at them a chilly morning in new york city. and at the offices of the senegalese association of america, they are setting up for a big crowd of fans to watch the game. the world cup may be happening a half world away and cut are. but for these cynical, these fans, there was only one place to cheer their team on. today means that our 1st game could walk up again. so get along and that's why we see that people coming to

latinos to support the team to be denied it did. again, it's believed around 20000 senegalese live in the united states. that's a relatively small number compared to people from other african nations. but the vast majority of senegalese in america live here in the harlem neighbourhood of new york city, where the senegalese association provides help to anyone who needs it for 3 decades . now we offer immigration services for folks who cannot afford lawyers. we also offer social services. we help people get real estate, they will, unfortunately, will pass away, help them bring the body of gold people to the heart. as again, got underway. tension is rose in the pack room. fans living every moment from the bad decisions to the new mrs. hello to the last minute disappointments. a game of few chances ended with synagogue losing

to new, leaving the lions of target tane and fans with much to discuss, especially with the next game against the host cooper and ben ecuador. if you go to the woke up, it means that you have would believe we're going to take that game seriously. but do i think we have more to sort through school to, to be able to cover whatever the results for these senegal fans. the world cup party has already started gabriel's hondo al jazeera. a good, quick update for you from the early kickoff today at the fee for wolf copier and cover wales playing iran. it's no and no. and that one is taking place at the might been ali stadium, son, or that's the one across the road from my house. you don't. wow. now let's head to the over to the silk racket and del high and see how kat, yellow bears, how dance a getting on catch. yeah. you've had some ecuador fans that this morning. how's the

mood out there with well, it's definitely a lot of excitement. you're gonna have to look for again, because it's so noisy that i have finally started the meaning is because i can't hear high on boys. but a lot of excitement definitely is best to move and a lot of a netherlands . now, here is one of them. tell me to think simon, among ecuadorian a lot of passion in the year. we are still happy to be here. you know, so it's been a long way for us from south america to cut, to cut that you know, and we so happy to be here. we want to do our best and, you know, come on to god for. so this is the. 2 first world cup in the middle east. that was a experience been so far as celebrating football here. you know, i say things work out, but we, we happy to be here. we very happy to. we had and you know,

we wanna play tonight and hopefully, you know, we kind of bus to the next stage. right. and your prediction for tonight's game big shown 313. wow. 00. i had to room for addiction there. but of course, when it comes to the local, the local, you're all eyes are on could for who are there are weak met, senegal, and they're mad. so of course, the locals are cheering on their team hoping again to make history here in the 1st world cup in the middle east coast here. thank you very much for that. now the 3rd game of the day that'll be between the netherlands and equity that won't take basically for international stadium touch coach louis front hall is aiming to lead aside to their 1st world cup title. samantha johnson, once again gives us a rundown of the fixture. let's talk about for the long haul. the world cup like any tournament really can produce ought results for the cabin money for waste

result over months, even years. so no one. absolutely no one at all. would be surprised to see the netherlands do extremely well. hi, i'm samantha johnson. this is woke up one or one of all cal 2022. the netherlands hadn't lost the game since june 2021. shortly after that defeat, live on hall was coast out of retirement to put things right. he was 70 was been treated prostate cancer, he's now 71 and the oldest manager at 2022 and he's there for one reason. one reason only to win it because as good as the netherlands are that never actually won the world cup. i've come 2nd. the conferred with never 1st, but been hall has reason to be optimistic as players like dental them. pres, a man who, as a teenager, played for his country before he had a that contract, he uses the will to win ecuador, however, have a point to prove they failed to qualify for the 2018 world cup. and when they're

argentinean coach, gustavo alvaro took over, he found were players who lost interest in being part of the national dean. so he's leading a young site and this is his 1st international coaching job. but there were side that held their own against to for pulling giant brazil and argentina, alvaro looked to the heavens ahead of games to say hi to his mom, his dad and his sister who are no longer with us. and also to say thank you to his friend and former agents, a man who told him he would one day bid him out to welcome you . okay, we got samantha, they're telling us about a kudos and the netherlands. if you look at the pedigree of these 2 teams in the history, it suggests that the netherlands should win, but that's not always the way it works. as we've already seen, others woke up argentina. saudi arabia single will happen in the 60s between the duction, the ecuadorian, i think netherlands come into this fixture as the favorites to win louis vanhorn has not lost their game since he took over this job. but you get the feeling that

they're, they're starting to get comfortable their approach to football. of course, the, are, the debt is always, you know, to slowly build up and be very careful with every position. i think that to against ecuador, they may, you know, get that victory, 3 points, and into the round of 16. i'd have briefly, they've already reached 3 finals. do you think they can do one better? this side, not at this woke up, this woke up for me, looks like it's going to south america, brazil and argentina steel, the favorites to lift the trophy here in qatar. you agree at the dak houses? how do you see this match going? i think that her to one to one, to netherlands, to a certain, just a quick one on louis fun hall. he's been there before. he's come back for a 2nd. so, i mean, oh wow. what is it about the dutch that they were able to do that? sort of thing. well you have to talk about their grasses development over the years old, away from my, your hand crime. and you know, his change that he brought into the way people approach

a grassroots development and football in general. that for me has been very key and you're talking about i x i x, have a history over, you know, creating a young players. and we think that here at the woke up or her daughter, thank you for that. while that's all we have got time for. thank you till ayesha and don't forget that you can get more well cut content on our website on today. dot com forward slash north and i will be back a 1330 pnc with benjamin from cover 2023 and we'll get action and reaction from wales versus iran worth offer. logos at the moment. see you later. ah ah
