hoffen, and feeding germany's gas requirements for those 15 years. but what it also spells out is clear that this environmentally concerned and conscious german government is having to accept the needs the necessity of having fossil fuels for a very long time. mr. havoc has said we're, we're going to be carbon neutral by 2045. this deal runs till 2041. no question about it right now the situation, the energy crisis is forcing this german government to make decisions that would really prefer not to, but openly say they say that this deal is great. ah, chinese authorities say they are working to minimize inconvenience caused by

a strict pandemic policies. after days of widespread protests mess covered, 19 testing has resumed, and shanghai in fictions is spreading, despite tens of millions of people being under some form of restriction. security is also been tightened. demonstrations are rear in china, but have grown and recent days, additional police officers have been deployed in beijing. of the hundreds of people protested on sunday. some protesters have even called on prison. she should pink to resign. he has just begun surfing a historic 3rd term, an office in another you're going to want. china has been following the dynamic 0 covered policy and has been making adjustments based on the realities on the ground. as we speak, china's following the 9th version of the pandemic protocols on the 20 measures. we believe that with the leadership of the c p c and the supports of the chinese people. i'll fight against coven 19 will be successful. katrina hugh is in beijing

with more. the authorities have done everything they can you avoid a repeat of the protest we saw in several chinese cities on the we can, we said seen a lot of police presence in all of the areas that the protest did take place in the city. some coercive tactics being used by the police and all of this was really defended by china's foreign ministry. as we heard during their press conference earlier, they were saying that the chinese citizens all have rides protected within the framework of the law. and instead of acknowledging any value in these protests, the chinese foreign ministry spokesman, he went on to really a pivot and point blame at some foreign journalists who have been covering these protests, a little bit of effort on the side of the chinese authorities, as well as the state media to de legitimized these protests, as well as defend, continually defend china's 0 carbon policy. what had once been

a point of national pride. it seems to have now become a liability press conference from china's state council. and what we so interestingly were, was an acknowledgment of some of the mistakes made in the implementation of china 0 corvette policy. what they were saying were that they, that there had been a lack of patience, a lack of communication on the ground. also that there had been some excessive heavy handedness by some officials imposing the 0 carving policies, and that some people had arbitrarily or illegally expanded the scope of locked downs. in south korea, truck drivers have shaved their heads and protest against government orders to go back to work. they are demanding a minimum wage as they struggled with the rise and the cost of living. this is the 2nd strike by truckers in less than 6 months. south korea's construction industry has taken a hit as a result. at least for palestinians were killed by israeli forces in 3 separate

jury and government. they were stolen by britons colonial troops when they attacked and occupied beneath city, which is now in modern day nigeria. 72 items were returned, making it the largest repatriation of stolen artifacts by the u. k. hurry force, it has more a major moment in a long campaign. in 18. 97 british soldiers sto thousands of finely wrought artifacts like this from then kingdom have been in modern day nigeria. now, london's haldeman museum is returning these 6 pieces and signing over the ownership of 66 other so called benny bronze is in its collection. to enable this objects to be displayed in museums for people to see people from outside the country to come and see in the context of where they have been looted is a significant moment for us. for now, there is 6 deliberate gaps in the museums display cases. more will follow with plans for significant number of artifacts to remain on an extended loan from the

recent years, other institutions in scotland, france, germany, and elsewhere have been returning items from their been in bronze collections. something barnaby phillips or through a recent history of the bronzes says as left the british museum increasingly isolated. remember that an institution like the british museum is also under pressure from other areas as a british government with its own interest. there are other significant national museums in this country, like the victorian, albert museum, the royal collection, all of which might be, i guess you would say more conservatively inclined, and they to can exert their pressure and influence on the british museum over the years. the debate has taken in concerns over security and conservation in nigeria, but increasingly it's become one about justice and restoration. nigeria is cultural custodians say it's time for british institutions and british politicians to write a historical wrong. ari faucet, al jazeera london, australia is conducting the largest census of the great barrier reef. the program

was one of the most anticipated matches of the group stage. now it's an absolute blockbuster. let's hear from both of the coaches. the team in this group that the perform the produce the best to performative and in our group was without an adoption. i just think they, they took 2 great, fantastic things with no doubt about that. so in this, in this moment, only making this reference, call attention to everybody that you want to have a very, very difficult game that to do with the team that we need to respect. but that's, let's make it simple. this is not about always start all we do it in the middle. this is all about all we finished. and what i see from the group is this tremendous amount of focus. there's no, there's no real distractions. you know, i know there's a lot going on here, but the group is focused on how do we get a when we're joined in the studio by football, journalists, asha common geisha romans campaign has been dominated by politics. they've managed

this situation so far. how will this young usa team deal with the political pope up in this game? there's a lot of pressure on the usa because when you look back at the sad group game matches that the u. s. has played, they have 7 defeats and just one victory. so this group of young players have a lot of work to do, but also really the political undertones that you know, come with this fixture. but iran going to this game really as a favorite to win. and i think that they have what it takes to win. i don't think the u. s. can do a lot against iran. well, we've seen around thrash 6 to buy england, but then go on to dominate wales. which around do you think we'll see tonight or for good question. i was very shocked. you know with that game against england, careless quiero. she's known to be a very defensive coach. she knows how to set up a team. i don't think they're going to repeat any of those mistakes. we'll see the, you run that, you know,

played against wealth. all right. i will get more from you. sure. but later for any iranian and round the world, a conflicted about this match. rob reynolds went to meet the sobriety member of the reigning community in los angeles, on comedian and actor mazda, brawny, has many admirers in the iranian american community. and like many members of that community in what some have nicknamed tarantulas, this year's world cup presents a dilemma. i can tell you how i feel. i've always been a fan of football soccer my whole life. i played it with the kid. i was always, it's been a team lead, but this year it's really different. it's going to be hard to take any joy in watching it because of the footage we see coming out of iran. iran has seen widespread protests and, and often violent crack down on demonstrators since the death in custody of muscle armine arrested for violation of laws regarding how women dress support for the

protests is widespread in the large los angeles iranian american community with protest slogans. appearing on billboards and shop fronts. the u. s. a. iran match is weighted with significance, especially given the long history of rank war between the 2 countries. i like to say that there's a lot of public took americans hostage for $444.00 days. and they took iranian hostage for 43 years. so we're seeing the women of iran, the youth of iran, the brains everyone has had enough. do you think that there's a feeling of being torn to, you know, kind of like honor your ronnie and routes by routing for the team or feeling like that's routing for something else. instead, it's a very bittersweet timeframe running americans. a lot of iranians are saying it's not a time to watch football or to celebrate anything. the way i see it though,

is i feel that this is a chance for she melody radi and seem to shine a spotlight on what's going on with the people of iran. and there's going to be a lot of eyeballs on that game when, as iran plays, the usa, joe bronte says the world cup match can be a significant moment for iranians everywhere. i hope that there's some form of protest and some form of shining the light on what's going on in iran, amplifying the voices of the iranian people that would bring joy to my heart. and i think it would bring joy to a lot of iranian americans in the diaspora. joy mixed with grief and concern with all eyes on a match. that is much more than a game. rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles let. now join only colson sharif at 6. what keith and go, ha,

i've fans must be starting to get excited down there. if not a little time. oh, what a great with me. i didn't know you can give me a, you know, your made it here this morning. yes. my bedroom all the way from you are you are saying to ron, what is it? very, very, we're going to pull it all. we're going away. a . 7

friendly game, it's on a lot. i said to me you a things are getting a bit crazy down there about well, hopefully speak here in a bad yeah, no politics, but some sort of research down there joining. yeah, i, let's move on to the other gaming group b, england against wales, received a lot of christmas for their goal is to draw against the usa. can we expect to change an approach from them?

if absolutely, i think the fans have been complaining to one to see more of food in. and trent alexander, i know the to have really had a great she's and be their clubs into premier league. and you just get a feeling that they just need to be given a chance socket has shown that, you know, he's that kind of coach who will rely on that player. we've seen that we the how he, mcguire, he was under fire before the tournament, but he still trusted him so he may not make those changes, but the funds would really love to see for them and trans, alexander, i know because they bring, you know, whole different dimension to the team. well gary, south gate, he seems to be not so focused on the group. the group stage, he's more focused on the knockout round. absolutely. you can see what he said after the usa game. he said that we have 3 games to qualify to the knockout stage, what whatever happens, as long as we make it to the next round. and really that's the mentality you need when you're going into a tournament like this one front. on the other hand, who are the team that could mit england in the quarter finals have qualified after just 2 games. so really some of the funds are feeling the pressure well,

at the pretty much media conference, england coach garrett southgate was asked to explain his sides complex relationship with wells. well, basically they're here, right? i know a lot more than that. we've worked so hard to get into this position. my frustration and disappointment for the players is that we've shown nowhere near the levels of performance of what's called us to this woke up and that's what really disappoints me. rivalry between the 2 british nations goes back centuries, but when it comes to their border, nothing is straightforward. and the barber reports from plenty minnock in most other places, this would probably be cold, hedging your bets, but the sight of the welsh and english flag side by side is nothing unusual here. and connie minish,

a place that lies right on the border between the 2 nations. not that you'd notice much of a boundary in this area, just the occasional roadside perhaps. but sitting on the divide does make things a little complicated when england play whales, like on tuesday evening. hearing the cross key dollar welcome, but there's a definite, lean towards garrett south gates, england side. a few short steps across the main road in the village. and you've gone from england to wales and the dolphin pub, landel, john turned proudly where's his wails top as he gets ready for the big game that the reds have to win. but nothing straightforward. here. he's from london and he's expecting most of his customers to be back in england. the village itself is la muller. either way is english welsh, to be honest, it's, it's, you know, we don't have one side and the other side. me personally, i'm supposed to england. so i've oversee going to be spokane, and both really want west wales to win because it's very important for the country

. the local football club, honey men, have c claims to be wales, these oldest teeth. but of course there's a twist. as of this year, it's playing in the english league just as taught welsh teams such as swansea and cardiff. take part in england's professional system that doesn't stop. many of its players were being proud of their welsh heritage. and the same goes for laura alice jones conway. she's from the area, unlike her husband to be watching the match with her for as this is all like, well, co foreign o'connor thing, history and save and whoever loses is going to have to pay for a nice not your way. so i can do the dish, and do nadine bob al jazeera honey minish on the whales, england border. so how tough is this game going to be for england? i spoke to be in sports football experts to andy gray and he told me the whales will be going all for victory,

even if their chances of reaching the last 16 are slim. was a big game for them. the fact that the playing a fellow whole nation makes it difficult, as we saw in a year or 2 years ago when scotland went to abilene and they will, they wouldn't want to play a country besides, that always makes it feel we will be up for very much up for, you know, going home pretty much and they want to finish on i, and i'm not sure what we're going to get from england. they were, they were pretty good, not open again, but what a guess a very per site. but i guess the us were poor english. i didn't think they were good to talk, so i think they'll get through to qualify. but i'm not sure what english are going to see. and i think i'll be an uneasy night for them. father will think i'll just be straightforward because we'll want to make a statement. you've got thousands and thousands of fancy of support them and the want to make a statement and finish high. so that will make it very difficult for anyone. i sure will have a half challenge ahead of them. they need to win by 4 goals. what chances do you

give them will far strength things have happened in football and i just woke up so you can't take it away from. well, especially the rivalry at stake with all the history between the 2 teams, but the 2 neighbors as well. there's a lot at stake for wells, they'll be going into this one like it is a finer before the extra final. and i think that that sort of spirit is what will help them going into that game. we saw england could be stopped from, scoring by usa was would want to replicate the same a show. well, we'll have the fans and got a lot of passion. we've heard them sing the national anthem. it gives me goosebumps every time i hear it. garris payable to talk about the passion from the funds and from the team itself to do well, it is tournament, but passion can only take a team. so for how long, how far can it take while, when you, when you thought about wells in sports, everyone thinks about their read between. so this is the time really for the football team to come up, you know, to the world stage and say we to can play football. and we can do it. of course, at the highest stage. yes,

it's been 64 years. but when you think about wells and players like ran gigs, ian rush ran gigs never played at the woke up. so this set of players know that this is their opportunity to deliver. and i think you know what better way to play than against england. and tonight will be the game that they do that. well, if we'll go out, do you think they'll well retire? i don't think he will retire. i think he still has a lot of football to play even at the international stage. if you look at the performance in the u. s. a nation's league, and also really coming up with you as later on. i think that they can still do some magic there and they have a lot to, to do in the next couple of years. it's not the end of this generation. so i think he'll still play. i just quit school prediction. wow weekly. i said quickly when to one. okay. to a to england to england. yeah. all right. okay. well, before we go, a reminder of today's match is it's a $1500.00 gmc kickoff ecuador,
