the wound, sentimental value call hand al jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that mattie al jazeera ah, african narrative from african perspectives. a new series of short documentary by african filmmakers from across the country. ah, no. oh, africa direct. coming soon on al jazeera ah this is al jazeera.

ah, hello, i'm seral then. yeah, it's great to have you with us. this is the news. our live from bill coming up. chinese beliefs round of protesters in shanghai is demonstrations. continue in multiple cities against the government. strict coven 19 restrictions. and china is ambassador to the united nations, has defended the government policy. you may say, okay, you prefer more liberty. you prefer more freedom. but then you have to be prepared to tie some of the forces end to see by else about fighters that a hotel in mogadishu, 9 people have been killed. turkey carries out strikes against kurdish fighters, but it is unclear if it will launch a ground operation in northern syria and sandra style, brazil, secure their place in the knockout stages of the world cup with a one know when against

ah police, in each any city of shanghai are cracking down and protest is demanding an end to coven 19 locked down. so security forces are on the streets across china to put an end to a 4th day of rare protests against the government's pandemic policies. a few restrictions have been relaxed. in some neighborhoods, despite 3 years of some of the toughest corona virus restrictions in the world, cases in china have now hit record highs in recent days. patrick fock wraps up the nationwide demonstrations from hong kong. with more of china going into locked and frustration is building, we can demonstrations and shanghai and other major cities reached a scale rarely seen on the mainland. so now we want to keep it 19 measures based on science. i think we should go back to normal. we should go back normal life

protests with spock by the deaths of at least 10 people. an apartment fire in a room g report suggests proven 19 restrictions may have hampered rescue efforts. authorities deny that's the case in hong kong on monday and expression of sympathy and a sign of discontent. and this activism minded city. there's a feeling of affinity. oh, hold on, hang on. hello. this is something that has connected us before during the 2019 protests. many people on the mainland sore us is aggressive and there's people who solved problems through violence. today. i think they said that it's normal for people to come out and say what they want and do what they want. talk. well, the protests on mainland have brought back a lot of memories, all the demonstrations that took place here in hong kong in 2019. and that's why it struck a chord for many people here. thought to say how many people have turned out for this video. but a lot of people have been a leaving behind the candle lights as

a mark of respect for those who died in the room. she and also leaving many messages of support for protest as, as well. the demonstrations of putting unprecedented pressure on china's coven 19 policies. there are among the toughest in the world, with tens of millions of people currently under some form of restriction. that has been some softening of the rules in certain areas. but overall, the government is barring to stick to its approach. can you? china has been following the dynamic 0 coven policy and has been making adjustments based on the reality on the ground. don't we believe that with the leadership of the communist party of china and the cooperation of the chinese people are fight against coven 19 will be successful or should. oh, our ever a willingness to cooperate may be waning. the crackdown has been swift and decisive . oh, after 3 years of 0 covered, this could be the policy's biggest test yet. patrick voc, al jazeera uncle,

a china's ambassador to the un has been speaking to al jazeera, kristen salumi in new york about the anti lockdown protests. it seems that people maybe have had enough of that. we see other countries have moved on. is it time for china to move on to the fundamental thing is that shall while and other countries are moving her along some sort of different direction. that's at the sacrifice of the people. they have so many people at all right? but that's not the city situation. we want to see. you have to understand that fundamentally, we want people to die. or do we want to people to live? of course, you know, it may, you may say okay, yeah, your prefer more liberty, your prefer more freedom, but then you have to be prepared to die. but you will abide in 10 people who died in the fire fire. they were locked down. they couldn't get out nuts, that's

a different situation. your pay stub insulation, it is a p is that different situation is based on this information. as a media, you have to carry the right method instead of instead of instead of are making your document based on those are fabricated with it. they weren't. no, but of course, you know, in the fire theater, heated like her dea did there come are lindsay ellis country, you'll have different a variety of situations and you cannot simply attribute the fired the candidate to, to what you have fabricated to your mind before your, your draw the right conclusion. all right, interesting conversation there. let's bring an oksana, pisec from london. she's a senior lecture and global health advisor at the university college of london school, a pharmacy at santa. we are going to look at all this from the, from the health standpoint. ok. china's policy for 3 years now has been to achieve

0 covey cases. is that still achievable? well we see that co, that is now we're in multiple re infection in every country in the world. so it is an endemic stage. so the longer that china, which doesn't have a very low coverage rate of infection compared to every other country. as a result of that, it actually has a big vulnerability because they haven't built up as many tools against it. ok, hold on, expand on that. what do you mean tools? are you talking about vaccinations? are you talking about immunity within the population? well, the immunity got results from both so you can have it. and in both cases, we know that whatever you receive from the natural infraction, or if you get vaccinated,

that protection weighs over time anyhow. so that is 10. this is why we have boosters available. and now this new by dealing booster that both a pfizer and the durn, i have come up with that is more effective against armor crunch. so you, you are able to then resist the surges and hospitalizations with effective booster campaigns. that's not happening with the most vulnerable populations in china, as well as the fact that if more people's been affected over time, is less likely to ever get sick at the same time. so there are different things as well as treatments available. so china has relied on home grown vaccines. only. what happens if china now relaxes? it's coven policy? not that there's any sign. it really wants to do so in any major or significant way . but what would happen? well, i think they're concerned again because of this immunity gap was lower vaccination rates, particularly an elderly population. and the elderly population is more likely to

suffer from severe cold air to require hospitalization. as there's a double whammy right there. and china, compared to other countries in asia, has a less like i see you beds available, a weaker health care system, fewer health care workers. so there are major concern is now that overall there's low level of infection present within the community. there's also a dis, faxing hesitancy issue, particularly the elderly population. and that has been present in every country in the world that's not unique to china, but it's interesting that it's not demographic. so there is this concern that the people who need the protection the most will end up filling up hospital beds and run out of room because there just isn't that same level of people who might have milder symptoms. now, because they've experienced previously, it's interesting what you're saying, and it's me to speak directly to what the, what china's ambassador to the un was also it was saying as well is there's going

to be there. there is a trade off. if you open up, if you soften the rest and relax the restrictions on coven, you're going to have more infections and more deaths. is that fair? well i think the, it's, it's, we need to definitely be measured about it because there's lots that you can do that isn't the same thing as a very blunt severe lockdown. i think most of the lockdown that has been even experienced in europe and other countries around the world. we're not as extreme in its form as in china currently in the past. so where the restriction of movement is, is really, you know, you're not able to get outside for exercise or even access basic health care. so again, i think it almost mean the different thing when we talk about it to this extreme, you can still have for instance, one of the great practices of we're in phase math is symptomatic, et cetera. that helps reduce spread. having indoor public spaces with air

filtration systems that helps to reduce spread. and we've now had 3 years of co vents. so really, the question remains as to why not a mix of vaccines have been introduced, particularly using the more efficacious ones and leading booster programs to prevent just because really locked downs are only in place to save time for things like math vaccination is not something that can just be rolled out permanently on a busy thank you very much for joining us on the show. really interesting to get your perspective all of this. a somali security forces have ended a siege by alabama fighters at a hotel in the capital that lasted nearly a day. at least 9 people were killed. after gunmen stormed the villa arose hotel in mogadishu. it's close to the presidential palace in his regular used by government officials. several people were rescued. also, your arabic are more, more mood has more from the somali capital. a little melody started for the attack

months now, and there's no word from the government around when that will happen. and what exactly the problem is, but what people queuing up, it simply means that the cost of petrol has gone up and those resorting to the black market, because they can't spend time in choose like this. having to pay double the price they normally pay. now this is a massive inconvenience for people in major cities where they have difficulty getting to work, getting to school, and also running things like generators, especially in a country like nigeria, where there's an unstable electricity supply. i run out of work. i'm just trying to get the electric went to my car. so fortunately, brought to our experiences. very, very unfortunate. got good guerrmo come to our is how come really produces a producing all yellow country i did of it was operate largest dealer to just to assure you targeting highly frustrated if what it is or bearable to do,

face uruguay. ah, it has been a big day for football on the african continent. joining me today to share her thoughts in just a moment on the football and other other matters is unless sasha coma geisha, but 1st brazil have put their place in the knockout phase of this world cup they beat switzerland, one nel within the past hour to secure that spot so much of the talk before this one with how brazil would perform without their injured star strike her name off. they should have taken the lead from vinicius junior, but his effort was saved, switzerland, one that open a new when he would have guaranteed their progress with again despair. the swiss played their part, but they couldn't get a shot on target at stadium 9. 0, here on dallas waterfront, brazil had the bowl in the back of the net in the 1st half and assist with the smart finish. but the effort would disallow upside in the build up customer

eventually, date bright. the deadline for the south americans that go from the manchester united man proved to be enough. one mill, the final school. it takes brazil through to the last 16 switzerland's. know when of a serbia will guarantee then no count place. i'll stadium 974, also affectionately known as the container stadium was the venue for that match. we cannot she see it just across the bay from where we sitting here on the coordination. santa maria is there for us where the juana rango at santa it seemed to be heading for goal, is sure at one point. but once again, brazil showed why they're the favorites for this title. yes you and i as i like the name the container stadium is one of my favorite stadiums. by the way, felt brazil tonight know now my no problem. they managed to get the job done that they'd be at switzerland, the a one now they cemented their place. in the last 16,

but that's not all. i'm gonna bringing one hour ango to talk about. this is our football analyst and he was watching the match with me. one 1st of all, yes. known him art was his absence. felt. and what did we learn from brazil? tonight, 1st of all, his absence was filled. second of all, i think there was a lesson that you learned and all of this is echo, they're going to start. and because rodeo doesn't start, the fridge drops back a little bit more. you see brazil, it's further dropped back, allowing switzerland to be able to move the ball with a little bit more ease. with hope legal, you have a player that's able to move one over the ball a little bit better offering more office of opportunities, which result didn't have to later on. but there's one thing i want to remind you of . but what i saw on the 68th minute this match is going to need a cousin. you don't go, well, that's exactly happened. it's not just coincidence. it's causing me to ends up being one of the major problem solvers for brazil in tight situation such as this. that's why you start to look at the casa metos. even fred, you,

when he's able to play finishes junior, who scored a goal, but it was ruled offside. he shaneesa, they have problem solvers. they don't have players that complicate things even more . that's what makes brazil a contender. what about this twisty day showed a lot of resistance. what did you make of their performance tonight? it's a team that you can't just snub. it's a team that you can't, you know, just wave off because defensively they showed that they were very solid. yon summer had a tremendous match day, making a couple of great interventions, but also from a defensive block. they were able to defend, very well allowing for or not allowing brazil to be able to come through way and really treat some opportunities until that. it's telling me to, well, of course, fine, thank you very much for that. sal brazil. victory takes off the pressure of them when day me to a camera next, selby fanboys can now focus, and how they're going to dance through it. are soon those and now kind of state is diana. all right, going to bring usher in here. now a quick word on switzerland, usher, one of switzerland's, key players, if you like said carrie wasn't playing,

we're still trying to work out why that was. do you think it would have made a difference if he had played absolutely one of the mainstays in the steam when you see the contribution that he's had on the team, but they had an opportunity to see a very young player who is also left foot at like security, of course he doesn't have much experience. his 1st game ever for switzerland was against brazil who was starting to warm up, you know, to the side and fits and they're not really been very convincing in this, don't, i'm and yes, they got the one nailed victory against the moon. but today i guess that was last him like brazil, they tried their best, but eventually they conceded that one go from the mirror, project qualified from group g, but he's joining in switzerland, camry and sub. yeah. it's a very tough one today. we so the game against, between cameroon and saba does a great fight from the domain to the lions of cameroon. but i still think that look like the better side, the side that can go and you know, the extra edge to make, to make a place in the round of 16. so i think, yeah, 5. yeah. so i mean,

is it for me? all right, so there you go. you had it from a show. but after starting off that campaign with when portugal can now secure the round of 16 spot to buy, defeating your y more on this fixture with samantha johnson, the portuguese football team is crammed full of international stars. the trouble is if your portuguese and you follow football, have to travel quite a long way to see many of them like 2 and a half 1000 kilometers. that the distance between the lisbon and the hearts of the portuguese size, which is in manchester, england high on samantha johnson. this is well cup one, o one go online and they're offering flights from lisbon to manchester for less than $100.00. and you can be sure that many of the seats are being bought by for all fans, fans who want to see their portuguese idol playing, and they do every week for i. the manchester united, manchester city players like christiano and aldo portrait was kept him. that is

until he parted ways with man united during this world cup, which you can say low is still around. he played nearly 700 minutes, were portugal to help his heart qualify for the world's car. then there's bruno fernandez, who scored one of the goals against macedonia, and then not forget ruben diaz. portugal go to defender, i could go on, but i am, you get my point. there's a lot of them living in the best parts of town. their neighbors. many of them are friends, bring in a taste, a portugal to a northern english city. there are portuguese supermarkets, portuguese restaurants, manchester, art gallery, even hosted a portuguese hot exhibition. manchester is normally divided by cab rivalry, but they know a lot about this portuguese squad, and this squad knows each other very, very well. that's something you're to. why are we taking into consideration though they have better? cuz i'll bet who runs and runs scores, and it keeps on running a sprinting cyclone of talent from montevideo uruguay will lead him on form if they're to succeed in qatar. ah,

no right across this story with peter stem at who's at the sail stadium ahead of kickoff pizza. what's the vibe from the portugal fans down there? ah, well, joe, they are making a lot of noise. i can tell you that much. or i'm standing just ever so slightly to the left of the stadium where the fans making their way past me over here to their seats. take off as you know about 2025 minutes away now. and yeah, making a lot of noise and every excited that you know, it's been a while since portugal did very well at a woke up 2006, they got to the semi finals and had to wait for 2 years for that to happen again because 966 was the last time that they had reached the final 4. they're obviously hoping they can do that again in 2022 and maybe go one step further at the tip here. why when next can, can they go? they can go top of the great h,

how hopeful dealing their fans will be yeah, they can go top of group h as you correctly say, their job of possibly one of the negatives about this fixture is that there's actually no jeopardy. and that was brought about by that salary and victory earlier in the day that 3 to win for them. sorry, gone as 3 to win a for south korea. beg your pardon. and that man bed coming into the final round again to all 14th can still reach the last 16. so that might mean that to might we see a k g effect between the portuguese and the europe wines, but they're fans. of course they will be ever hopeful they, i ever hopeful they themselves will making a lot of noise outside the stadium or just a few minutes before you. and i began talking to one another and they've got some great players in this world. i guess some of the guys are getting on now. i mean, to be honest with you, when i looked at the the squad left before the tournament, i actually couldn't believe that the egg of gordon is still there. for example, fernando moseley road still. they louis suarez, we know well it had some good bonnie, you know,

these are guys that were born in 1986, 1987. and you know, for those of us who were born before that we look at that and say what, what's on general about that? but given that it's 2022 and we took many lead professional football, these guys all on a little bit. we can't let you go without mentioning one of the biggest stars that is tournament christiane to rinaldo didn't. he can continue to inspire portugal to another victory. here this evening. joe, you know what if we look at the history of renelle those korea? i think that is exactly what we can expect tonight. the uruguayan obviously will disagree with that statement and they'll be looking to ensure that that is not something that realizes itself tonight. but portugal have always relied on rinaldo, ever since he made his day of you as a youngster at a major tournament, euro 22004 are the one hosted by the portuguese. and ever since then, he's been an important player even as a teenager. now, as an older man,

well into he's a mid, even late thirties we, we, we, we, we might say, but even look at his record. i mean, look at those that he is hold more than a 100 at international level. more than that, anyone else in the portuguese suit and of course, that record of us having screwed at 510 different world cup competitions. he's just been an incredible player for them, but they do have other great players as well. it is worth noting all right, peter, senate, their life restless. i'll go grab yourself a seat cuz that one's going to be a good one. ayesha portugal now knocked out by uruguay at well cut 2018. is this going to be revenge? or is it going to be repeats of that game? or when you listen to what ben took you had to say before the game. he said, you know, we're coming into this game as the underdogs and that sort of, it gives you a hint into the character of the team that they have is going to be a high clash. they know that whoever wins this game has a chance, you know, to top that group going into the round of 16. but for your guy also, this is really the final before the final cuz you don't want to go into the game

against ghana with all that pressure. there's also more events waiting for them there. if you remember the 2010 addition, but talking about portugal, they have pep in go in defense for them is 39 years old of what happens, a lot of experience. let's see how he can, you know, perform against a very, a talking side in your guy. picking up on that point from best call. he said, yeah, they are under dogs. do you think they really aren't dogs? because i know that you're a fan of some of that plays. i don't think that they are under the going into this game. so many people underrate your guy. and for me, going into this story, they are the deco says here, but i think they got a chance, i guess what, you're going to guess chris center and i'll do. all right. so that you guys are now gonna have secured that 1st when of the tournament, they beat south korea 32 in dramatic fashion. it's a huge face to that qualification hopes. south korea dominated the early stages, but it was gonna open the flooring salisa with the goal it was awarded despite what looked like a hand ball by the african nation. in the build up, they added

a 2nd 10 minutes later jordan again providing the assist his brilliant cross was headed by mohammed to do to nil was the half time school after the break. korea finally had an asset on target in this tournament. and they got to go to some pictures, finishing the book, just 168 seconds late to south korea level. so again, the score he's had a to to handle to all agree and have them mention that it was gonna have the last word re taking the lead. good is again the man on the school she finished the 3 to to the african. it's quite a frantic last 20 minute depressor from the asian side. south korea must be portugal in the last group game. have any chance of reaching the new account stage . so that was another entertaining match this well camp and watching that game for us at education city was a hail malik. well,

the fans leaving behind me would treat it to a real correct rover match here. i think he said, and it said donna were heading the 1st top were about to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory while they managed to get over the line. and when at 32, however, it seems that before them i should have gone to find a pretty, pretty confident other team with the business. yes, they lost the 1st month, but they felt referring decisions didn't go their way and game about why they didn't get results against portugal. this time however, they were energetic like, don't buy their fans and didn't stop cheering throughout the much the number with my cell phone. well, they really in the morning gave them the feeling that they could do it without korea. this is going to be a massive disappointment. they are ranked higher than gonna be for ranking. and also they had a point going into this game. it seemed that they could have gone on a when it went through, it seemed to that stage, there was only going to be one when their funds made a lot of noise and really, really charged up the team. sadly however, for them it wasn't to be one thing to show though it seems that tonight is most

definitely going to be part time for ghana and the blacks and all of their phones here in castle well benedict who is gone and sports janice to join us now in the studio, you bought some of your friends along, you went to the game. what's the reaction? been back home. heisman, people, people because of where we are coming from. and then when we lost our games, fortune, gulf and people were not happy. so when in this game of course things joy and exciting and looking at their reaction and social media in ghana is one. that's crazy. people are absolutely happy because they didn't look at it. give me. so we're going to go and we're back in the 2nd one, if i could have mom is just going in mind which one and the reaction that we need it from the place from god. it's all excitement and effective and getting cut out. yeah. good will, i should just a quick lead really on south korea, we haven't seen much of best of until min this tournament. do you think that

fractured eye socket is still causing some problems? and that might be why he's not kind of come to the for as much as absolutely, i mean his, their stop layer, he's the face of the national team back home. and you feel like that injury really affected him. he can't really do much because he's fearing you know for his face, but really oh, so they put up a good fight. but for me you have to give credit to ghana. yes, they didn't play well. south korea, they came back, you know, with those 2 goes, but just generally speaking, got a bit aside. they had good character, they have quality players, have a good coach. and i think that they brought the game to south korea and now they have the 3 points, benedict phil to play for in this group. he's c gone and making it into the last 16 . know the world, the win again south because we all as a 100 times on we can. the next is all we need to do is the one that i was going to hop in tonight's game involving ports you go by. those words please use. we're going to log in. now all we need to do is to mean again, it gives you a way for when you get 6 points, straight up, whatever happens in the game,

more than what you go. so we will do that. so what we need to do is to focus on a game and gives your way get that means and we'll get $6.00 a plus with the asked me to the next one. ok. but we just heard from usher is you're going to be a tough opponent. will be. i mean, we all know the history between the war and 2010 that you know, i'm fortunate the incident which prevented from becoming the 1st african seen as the semi finals. and yet many, i think and of events. but i see that let me think about remains and this going to that give me a while that when would take us the next page of a competition, we could think some are event you me getting wrong? focusing on we've been doing the actual i've been getting. so i just believe and i know when we are coming from and where we are now, we need that reaction in this game because we are lost. we definitely will be packing home. but we need this, and when that, do we want things watch amongst the point you go,

you will begin tonight. all our focus will be on. got you right, jim on friday, and with the reaction you saw from the place in the are to give soon reaction. i have absolute confidence that we'll be able to make it. all right, well before we let you go to watch, that's portugal you're quite game. we want to hear what you're going to be sounding like when you go to that gone a year ago. i game so my friends are here with a to b o b o b b c. ruth. ringback oh really, rosie this, so what it means is that something's going to happen. 2 0, okay, now that you know, you heard it 1st, i think you better. thank you. thank you. i really like something's going to happen . you heard it though the 1st months of the day. so a 6 goals for ela and the point shared between cameron and serbia geminus was

watching at al jeanine stadium as both sides gave themselves a chance of reaching the knockout stage. both sides that went into this one on the back of the feet. se really needed to go for it, which is exactly what happened. it was, you have the better at the early chances. alexandra mitchell pasted 10 minutes and they were definitely a lively early on. again, the run a flight was camry. he said to leave center back in the african side in front of me . i hit back right before. ha, so i made the sounds out. it is a free kick headed in our place by a tablet and camry and it was done as we'll give it some it's made it to one serve . yes. less than 3 minutes later, as they went into the hall with a desire to meet camry, got even harder when it got to the side. the early in the 2nd house came on to come read any food on back with a lovely finish lobby to keep up,

to make it 3 said that it would be socials as cheap and they think it made it real just minutes later, sending the camry and found the wild in the sand. this was quite possibly the most and to saving much of this world cup safe ball camry went into this one. having lost the last 8 world cup matches in a row. so they will be very relieved to have ended that street and managing to get a point there as well, but out full well, they will be kicking themselves. so let that to go lead slip of the base of the sides. she asked about, clinging onto hopes of a place in the last 16 gemini out there as i was in the stadium several good day for african football. but i'll show you some control the see in the camera and cam. why wasn't the goalkeeper andrianna starting that much? information coming from the camera and come really is that there's been

a disagreement between andrea not, not the go keeping coach. and also just generally the coaching stuff. and they were trying to tell him to play according to their style, which is to play as a traditional go keeper. but he says he wants to be, you know, the kind of manual, newer type. when you have, let's say the ball and you want to roll it up quickly so that you start the build up for the attack. but they want him to slow down and take things easy. perhaps because of the set up of their defense. and they fell out on that not so he's decided to leave the camp and he will no longer be part of the camera inside here. the walk up, the final game is against brazil. can you see cameron creating an upset? it's going to be very tough. you're talking about a brazilian side. yes. they've already qualified to the rhonda 16, but they're not taking any chances. they want to keep building momentum in the squad. yes they have the quality i could see when vince i bought the car there for my captain. also the golden good boots winner adelphia

a couple of nations came on. he turns the gave me at the goal and assist which was a great combination there upfront with the ship. one more thing, but it's going to be a lot of work against brazil. they'll have to literally do what switzerland did, but score more goals and that can be very tough if you're playing against a team like brazil, and just really quickly since samuel actually took over as the president of camry and foot will federation. have we seen many changes reflected on the pitch? well, you can just talk about his 1st day at work. arrived at 8 a. m, when some of the employers came late fired them. and that's the information we have . but just generally speaking, bringing re go about some, some cameron and feel that he's very inexperienced, his course the under 23 side and was part of the chanting in, in 2018 in morocco, but not really at this stage. but perhaps that's the story he has someone that he understands his former captain on the national team. also trying to get this story going. yes, cameron has been to the work up a times, but can they make it perhaps the semifinals?

so i think that yes, there is room for improvement, but you will need time. you'll need a lot of time perhaps in the next 4 as long as he's tenure and then we can judge him from there. okay, well on the subjects of summer like to and the camry and that will federation. they've been forced to deny hiring black magic practitioners to boost their team's chances at the world cup, but die hard funds, hoping it will be black magic that fits the odds in their favor. nicholas hack reports from yellow and they are not going to have a good jump. philip is a traditional healer using ancestral practices. he calls on the spirits to bring victory to cameron's national football team. not sure when he says it's the extra spark, the indomitable lions, as they are known, need before their 1st game, when the fire burned like that. you see this look will up this period the in have this look is like telephone the woocommerce

professor john says several players have been consulting traditional healers ahead of the world cup in cutter and excite, hassey almighty. any village has the own magic. any region, as your magic through an odd is malisha, they become to get them to begin to pray for the so for what it's worth it for the liar, nobody come drugged enough in cameroon. as in many african countries, natural medicine plays an important role and remedies that are believed to enhance performance are popular among athletes. the tinctures are made from plants found in the forest and are available at local market. abbas ali a former defender and his village team started selling them after he suffered a nice strain. the same injury that is preventing striker sad, your money from playing, and synagogue opening game. yes. this vendor says that he has the appropriate

remedies for the football. stark side, your monet, who's suffering from an injury, he just needs to come to this stall. here you have all sorts of powders and liquids coming from the sacred cameroon forests. and he says, if that doesn't work, then you need mother know where. when are these? the object is meant to protect him from further injury and the vendor says, bring him luck when it comes to sports. superstition are plentiful. madonna carried the same rosary at each game. england's gary linux, her changed shirts at half time. if the match wasn't going in his favor, christiano, rinaldo always steps on to the pitch right foot 1st. my dislike cameron's manager has denied it, approaching black magicians with it. but there is no stopping fans from doing all they can to ensure the indomitable lions live up to their nickname. nicholas hawk al jazeera yolande. all right,

i'm gonna bring an asha kemesha for a final thoughts. it's been quite a day, hasn't it? for african football? what was your take away from that? it's a perfect way to start the week of it. it's monday and then you have all these, you know, 2 teams doing incredible stuff. but really, for me, it's the attitude of the african teams. when the draw was med back in april, everyone you know, didn't give so many of these teams a chance perhaps synagogue was african champions. but seeing, you know, cameron fight back against serbia. it's a top team sabean very difficult to break down 3 goes good against them. it's something they can take them and for ghana now they have a chance to make it to the round of 16 and convincingly. and yes, they stand at us and if they have benedict and his crew in the state and singing that song, i think on our did cook well. well, thank you very much. chicago makisha once again for talking us through all of the action we've seen gonna reignite their hopes of reaching the last 16 cameron and serbia also still able to qualify to well,

one team who put their place in the last 16 is brazil. they left it late, but cast the merest strike means the sombre style will continue at qatar 2022. our next well cut special. is it 21? 30 g m t one will have action from portugal against 0. great. so join us there on out to 0. you can also go to a website out there a dot com, forward slash world cup. but from me, i'm from russia, from a corny cda on a very windy night in doha basil from now goodbye. ah ah.
