this is al jazeera. ah. it's great to have you with a signed serial van. yeah, this is the news. our live from doha, coming up francis emanuel michael receives a warm welcome to the white house, but there may be a sticking point, as the biden administration introduces subsidies for u. s. companies. no going back. russia's foreign minister says previous relations with the west will not be resumed. south africa president faces the possibility of impeachment after an independent panel says he violated his oath of office. i'm glad you meant that in virginia, in southern india, what people appeal testing the construction in $900000000.00 shipping or anything bit that you just richest man and it is world cub delight for morocco they

beat candidate to qualify for the last 16 for the 1st time since 1986. ah. so it is just after 1800 g m t, that's 1 pm in washington, and that is where president joe biden has officially welcome french liter reminder and mccoy on his 1st state visits since biden took office. the leaders are expected to discuss the war and ukraine. they're also going to talk china iran. but france will also raise concerns about jo biden's climate and infrastructure bill earlier macklin criticized subsidies in the bill saying that they are quote, super aggressive towards european companies. as good our white house correspondent kimberly hallett. so kimberly, we are now past the half way mark of this state visit. what are the highlights for you so far? well certainly it was an elaborate welcoming ceremony of the south lawn of the white house. it was full of potted pageantry. it was a very much

a rut. red carpet rollout for the president along with the wife of emmanuel macro. dr. jill biden was also accompanying joe biden, and there was certainly all of the music and the cannons being fired, the national anthems that you would expect. but the midst all of that, there are the tensions that are being discussed. and we should point out that we were expecting a press conference to begin some more than an hour ago, but it seems to have been delayed and it may have a lot to do with some of those tensions that you have been alluding to the fact that there is concern about the inflation reduction act, the signature legislation that joe biden passed as president to many in europe and france. particular feel is somewhat of protectionism. and so we believe this press

conference has been delayed, as they work out some of those details, trying to make sure there's no tension in the room if you will, when the to stand up on the stage face to face with reporters. so in terms of what stands out, certainly it was all smiles for the cameras, but when they were behind closed doors, we presume there was a lot of detailing to be done. how does this administration perceive frowns? kimberly well, we know that historically france is america's oldest ally, that does not change in all of this. and so that is what is going to be underscored with this visit. and we should point out that this is the 1st official state visit for president joe biden. and the previous president, donald trump, and the president before that was also the french president. when it was the case of barack obama, you see the pattern here that is deliberate. and so that does not change. but at

the same time, we do know that there have been some thorny issues. we know that just last year there was another diplomatic uproar when the decision was made by australia to canada, deal to buy a french submarines instead by u. s. nuclear submarines instead. and that did not sit well, so there have been some clenched teeth and some very blunt criticisms of the united states by france in recent years. and so there's a lot of mending of the relationship that has to take place. and the united states is having to, you know, do some mending itself. and so those are the kinds of words that are conversations that are taking place in. it's not just happening at the white house. it's happening on capitol hill following the meetings that are taking place here. and it's also happening at the state department. the french president will be meeting with secretary of state antony blanket as well. and then all of this culminates

with an official state dinner. and i know you'd like to hear about the menu all share that with our viewers, there is going to be on the menu main lobster from the u. s. state of maine. there are going to be a cheese from the u. s. state of wisconsin. and also brussel sprouts, which i have to mention, not my favorite as well as that, or chiffon orange chiffon cake with pears. this is the thing that everybody likes to talk about as well as what everyone will be wearing. so the official state dinner is always something that people like to look at and talk about, and that is what is going to culminate the visit this evening. you know me well, kimberly help live from the way else. thank you very much. that will talk to pierre husky. he is a political analyst and journalist and he joins us from paris, pierre, you know, in many and my coin in, in what is characteristic of him. i should say has been very vocal since he got to washington that he does not like joe biden signature, economic policy of subsidies for us based manufacturing. k. he doesn't like it. he

thinks it's protectionism. what can he do about it? well, it's a complicated issue because he's doing a very thin balancing act on one side. he really wants to reinforce the alliance with the u. s. he wants to be seen as the u. s. oldest i as, as, as has been mentioned so that that's a very strong point of his visit. and on the other side, he's putting forward his disagreements with the inflation reduction act, which is a $400000000000.00 subsidies package that is going to be implemented on january. the 1st, what he can achieve is maybe get some exemptions for certain sectors of the industry in euro. but there's very little that can be done because it's been passed by congress. and it's one of job aiden's, a key achievements in the past 2 years that he's been in power. and so there's not

much that can be re negotiated on the other side with a menu by can, can do is send the message to europe, not so much to the u. s. the euro, because he wants europe to have a similar package of registration. and for the moment, there's a lot of reluctance from germany to follow suit. how do you assess the france us for lateral relationship at the moment because we're just a little over a year removed from what was one of the worst diplomatic crises in recent memory. yes it, they, the oakum row was, was pretty bad because it was a question of trust and the french felt betrayed by it by the u. s. and by bridges under was then the u. k. prime minister. and so the, it since then, a lot of work has been done, and joe biden took on himself to become friends again with the manual, michael,

they had a meeting in rome, and then obviously the ukraine war has changed the deal completely because europe experience is a war and the u. s. is an indispensable. i for the european. so this is the key. ukraine is the key and they serve financial inc, and they kind of make problem is, is a down for, from the ukraine war. so at the moment, i think that the alliance on ukraine against russia is really the determining factor for all europeans. and therefore, i think this will be a very important issue in the discussions. and therefore alliance is still the key word. i want to ask you the same question i just asked. kimberly, how do you think the biden administration perceives france this french ally because it's a very imbalanced relationship,

right. you've got the world's superpower or $11.00 of the super powers, versus a, a middle sized country. yes, but frances is a bit special in the, in this category because it is now particularly after the u. k. left the european union. it's the only nuclear power left in europe, the u. k. being outside the european union. it's also a permanent member of the un security council and one of the key players in the european union so that the u. s. is paying attention to frost, probably more than its weight, the service. and therefore, i think it is sometimes for us is an irritant to the us because it has, it is outspoken in these agreements with the u. s. in a way other european span countries, dont dare to express themselves. remember that jacques chirac,

when he was president of france, refused to join the bush administration in the invasion of iraq. and that really created a lot of disputes between france and the u. s. so this is the kind of relation where you have a strong alliance and strong disagreements, and that's the reality of the french u. s. relation r p. i ski in paris. thank you for your insights. ah, more cities in china are relaxing cove in $1000.00 restrictions is the government tries to ease public anger, the southern city of long showers, among several to reduce testing requirements and controls on movement local media. se people in beijing are being allowed to isolate at home. instead of staying in quarantine centers, trying to 0 coven policy has led to unprecedented demonstrations in recent days.

the european union is urging china to use its influence on russia at the end, the war and ukraine. european council presidential michelle, is in beijing, talks with chinese president choosing ping. the 2 leaders met at a time of strained relations and that is partly due to china's treatment, the weaker minority. michelle said he raise the issue of human rights, human rights. and i welcome the reduced with you. you shall not human right. we will follow up on this term, isn't it? does this format, this not 10 genes for more than 3 years. so this is an important signal. the dialect will allow us to focus. why does human rights policy issues and individual changes? russia? foreign minister says previous relations with the west will not be restored, had a news conference or gay lab. we're all said western powers had a real chance to avoid conflict in ukraine, but they rejected a russian proposals to halt nato expansion. the west says russia's proposals before

the ukraine war were insincere. wishing to show last december, washington preferred not to take advantage of a real chance the de escalation. what the chance was that the questions were e or shy, but the u. s. and brussels chose a court aimed at comprehensively supporting the key regime and it's policy for advocating all things. russian education, media use of the russian language and culture. and everyday life in general is not . val has more now for moscow. we talked about the expansion of nato, saying that it is wrong, and it is very dangerous. and it is a threat, a direct threat to the russian interests and awesome security. saying nato was founded principally on the defensive organisation. and there were terms and you know, agreements that bind nato not to turn itself into an offensive

a body security body. but that's not what's taken place. now. that by adding some of the nordic countries to the organization has got got closer and closer to the russian territory and thus play with fire. as he said, he's and talked about the nato intervention in a far flung region is like the south china sea. and that's why russia has now increased its cooperation with china in order to, to stand in the face of the aggressive expansion across the world by, by nato. he also talked about the nuclear weapons and he said that the nuclear power should make sure that the nuclear war doesn't take place because that's going to be the end of everything. and he said brushes engaged to those principles not to not to allow any, any such things to happen and the europeans also, the americans should take that into consideration. an independent panel in south

africa has found the president, cyril ram upon the violated his oath of office. which could lead to his impeachment a president denies any wrong doing and has not been charged with any crime. the panel was set up after millions of dollars in cash were found in a sofa. his private farm, it says run. the plaza has a conflict of interest between his official responsibilities and his position. as a businessman. the president's office released the statement earlier on thursday reads as follows, the implications for the stability of the country required that the president take time to carefully consider the contents of the reports. and his next course of action in the quote, david money is an associate professor of political science at the university of johannesburg. he says, the president may decide to resign. this is a serious, damming report branch. they actually said that he might have violated the constitution. so as they can never be any other with case for any city president

than those kind of allegation of the president has a number of options. one which is the most difficult. one is to wait for the jew process and find it out and stick to his narrative that he has done nothing wrong. but that might bring a constitutional crisis in stability, particularly within his own party, as well as in the country given the situation that way, even the economy and everything else. but to full understanding, the man that has been behind africa's transition to democracy. he has been in the forefront of writing the very same concentration. we're talking about one, i think that the president might do the right thing. that is to resign for, for the good of the country and also to protect his own legacy. all right,

we've got plenty more ahead on the news. our on al jazeera, including this a tech company saying it's ready to start human trials, but ships in people's brains. it says it's already them. tests on monkeys will tell you what they were thinking in just a moment. and congratulations. morocco. they are into the last 16 of the world cup with 2 goals. in the 1st half, they beat canada to one to finished top of group. if it's the 1st time morocco reached the round of 16 since 1986, canada were already out of the competition. they finished last in their group, but they will be at the next tournament in 2026 as co hosts with the us and mexico . belgium came close to going through with morocco and group f. a win over croatia would have taken them through, but the closest they came was hitting the post in the 2nd half. the 0, the nil nil draw was enough to put 2018 finalists croatia into the last 16 so well

done them all right, we can join catch ya. lopez over door in that. so for keith, it's been a massive day from iraq and fans. what are you seeing? what are you here? yeah, definitely a big bay. i can tell you here at the soup walk. if morocco has more or less taken over the market, we've seen chairs a rob ever since the game officially ended against canada. and throughout the hour of your people cheering people singing everywhere, just celebrating their big brand, which was a big surprise for many of the fast. now we are here with some of those bands who were not directly at the game watching the match, but they did celebrated and watch the win. what was it like to see your to you morocco? today, america played against canada. the opponent towards vit is strong. it was amazing the much was bit as amazing, crucial and on to see i stick and what was it like to see the when with other

people from iraq are here in the yeah, all speak, data, health, morocco and cottage morocco to, to when to merge and do we offer dis victoria to all support as moral can support those and we offer this victory to our king, my hm. 100 to 6. right? and something we've also seen as a family on beyond a lot of parents bringing their kids here to celebrate the match. and we also see here your brought your daughter. what was your favorite part of the match when? when the goal in the, i'd like to kick ticks away from them. and then the other players scored like the scoring tour they were about to score another one, but they did it. right. i think we have a future sports commentator here is if you are you good summary. now, something interesting is that we saw a lot of celebrations, obviously here, but a lot of the fans who saw the match directly at the stadium. the probably on their way here at to this a walkie, because it's a play, a place where people come to celebrate before

a match. and so answer. so what fans were here and i saw a lot of local businesses are expecting. i see a red shirt to come here later. isaac katia lopez hood. i am thank you so much for joining us from souk we're keefe. now speaking of morocco fans, one of them produced a song for the opening ceremony of the world cup. read one is the brains behind most of the official music videos at the world cup. he spoke to laura han and katara cultural village and it seems he can't get enough of 2 things. football and music. ah, we are in a good. busy job the co did an incredible job and the fence. ah, it's something written right here. we form a rock. we all we, we were cherry from the start filled it and it couldn't have gone better. so we

were, we're very happy and so happy. it's a dream come through, you know, this, the walk popular is the biggest thing in the world, you know, and you win. so it's like it's a very proud of my country player, plainer. and so we brought john cook home with the as something totally, totally different unexpected. and he broke all the record. so i'm very happy with that. and we have davida from apple. ah, you know, we had her, mom had bouquets, we had them and i was little, we had no luck with the can hear the music when people are jumping in the the numbers or speak for themselves. i'm very happy an honor because i love football and i love music fi fires than an incredible job. an incredible job katara has made an incredible job is very, you can see all these cultures. everything you heard outside is not have is really something else. here. people are loving each other from all differences. i mean,

all the cultures combine, having just find a good some with football. and if you're feeling new, yeah. yes, we believe blue in the world news now the un says the number of people who will need humanitarian aid next year has increased by nearly a quarter. it is appealing for a record $51500000000.00 to funded humanitarian operations globally. the money will help bring relief to nearly 350000000 people affected by natural disasters and conflict. funds will also be used to tackle global issues, including food shortages, viral outbreaks, and climate migration. martin griffith is the under secretary general at the un office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs known as osha. he joins us now live from geneva as sir has the un humanitarian branch ever been in this position

of needing twice as much money as it is currently receiving? now we have and it's, it's, it's important to know that international aid levels of moral and held up even despite what's happening in ukraine, the earlier was changed is the level of need the scale of need. and these figures are not casual. we spend a lot of time in the field with all the you mentioned agencies preparing for this program for next year. so the 230000000 people that we've laundry. so 330000000 people that are overall in need. instantly one and 23 people in the world need assistance. that is a testimony to the scale of humanitarian need. and i will say that we are all responsible. why is that happening? what is happening? well, it's a, it's a, it's a combination. it's, it's a perfect storm of coverage,

as you will remember, it hasn't gone away yet. it's even having an impact on other diseases in color out of spike at the moment. because we didn't invent enough in color of action during the panoramic number one, number 2, conflict, cultural, haven't stopped in budget in the countries. and you know, it in the middle east region. we have a hope on yemen and it went away series and it's 1111 and suffering. huge, huge problems and soccer by so conflict has not been resolved in the scale that we need. and then thirdly, climate. now, you know what we're seeing today and, you know, we've all seen the scenes and so my at that you're probably showing right in front of us is a climber shock. which is absolutely not of the doing of the people who are suffering

. it is because of the behavior of people like me, not like that by rainy seasons in a row failed in the horn of africa. it's no surprise to that. and it's not a presidential 40 years, but famine is the result. and it's coming to the owner of africa. so climate we sort of focused on across time. it is a big new ish scourge. and it's got to be a scourge indefinitely. so we have this massive need. our obligation is to tell you what this massive need requires in terms of your manager and assistance. is the world's obligation to express in solidarity and come up with the funds to help us. well, if the status quo remains, in terms of the level of funding that you're getting is out, you're going to make choices. i assume you will have to make choices and prioritize humanitarian emergencies. that means choose people that are cher will not help it

is you know, this well, because you talk to people working on the front lines. she medicine organizations, it's a little secret. we do tree out all the time because we never have resources enough to say people. we're always trying to rob peter to pay paul and we try not to come and was to certain people to be wounded people to be killed and others. and it's an awful, awful experience that anybody in my community has to face each day because all of us, frankly, all of us in the front line agencies know that the decisions we make from day to day affect the lives. and indeed, the survival level are the people. so what we need to do in this situation, as you say, of unprecedented gap funds are nice. first of all, we need to mobilize, clara funding is, is a scandal,

as we have all observed and rece the weights. the climate promise is not turned into travel to the brain and the humanity community on those front lines with the people you have on your screen can tell us what is needed. and where the pastoral community in the all america faces an existential threats that way of life. they don't get a bi livestock again, any time soon with these phases of reins, $3000000.00 plus animals and already died in somalia. so try the other thing is, while number 2, we need to ask the communities much, much, much more clearly what they need and how they would spend, says spend money. they need to be the people, the partners that we need to make the decisions that you're just asked us. but they're the ones who know how to spend money wisely. you know, one of the things about people in desperation, people in poverty, they make the same us decisions about guess results is because the largest and

handle that will write to b partner for that at martin griffith under secretary general at the you and office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs. appreciate your time today. thank you very much. indeed. thanks for having far right. is really politician etomo been given has been invited to celebrate. the national day of the united arab emirates is really radio is reporting the emerald ambassador to israel invited been the are to the u. e. m embassy in tel aviv now, bennet vandevere is known for his empty arab comments. he said to become israel's national security minister after signing a coalition agreement with benjamin netanyahu. a so called brain chip company neural link will be ready to conduct human trials in the next 6 months. newer links technology is designed to allow a person to control electronic devices with their mind, their speculation that the chip will one day help people with disabilities billionaire long musk owns the company. and he's showed a video of a monkey,

. really with them for generations. my mind here. i okay, my 2 days have been waiting very patiently. so let's begin with jemma. so live and out standing result for morocco, 21, winners over canada. it means that they are top of the table, they move into the law. 16 just how well can this team do at the woke up? do you think? i think it can be one of the great surprises of this tournament because said the yard is young, talented and get good experience in the champions league in the league i in the leak gun. so at the saddler lions, i have a lot of quality in the, in the squad,

i mean it's big names. his umbrella, in the cdc gig kimmy what an assist he did earlier. today's he yet being a m b p of this player to benoit the goals they have for big names and bass are hungry to, to keep improving. you just mentioned the 1st time in 36 years that are going to be 9 oclock, but they just and i think the sky is the limit who will see who is their rival and how far they are. you can make it 1st time in 36 years. they're in the law. 16. that was the 1st time in 36 years that canada appeared at a fee for world cup $1.00. how disappointed will they be to exit in the group states without a win? and if you start looking at it ends up being gradually, mid diminishing type of performance by canada. although they did put a fight in each and every one of those matches. but again, the quality started to show in terms of morocco area, especially in terms of croatia. we see how disappointing belgium is because of it because canada had the better of them. but there was a more clinical belgium side that ends up winning that opener. but as the match is progressed, yet candidate comes out strong against croatia,

but were unable to handle the 90 minutes. and the same thing could be said about dispatching as morocco's a very disappointed i, which i would say, like you mentioned belgium. we'll talk about them in a 2nd. the world's number to rank team. well, they are going home. whenever croatia would have put them through, but they could only manage it. no nel draw. and instead of croatia, we'll go into the last 16 now in the 15th minute, referee anthony taylor would have croatia penalty danica, carrasco judge said to have court croatians on a crime rich, but was ruled out the off side off to a v a are review in the 2nd half kevin, the brain is through ball found carrasco. the ball then fell to romilly lou cocker, but in a crowded box he could only find the post and it was because again new had a late chance for a winter, but couldn't find a finish. how have you, how have you ever see there, but 2018 violence croatia going through as a result?

no goals but plenty of drama and a big team heading home watching the game for us at been alley stadium, was andy richardson, earl the belgian golden generation. and luca, most rich creation have won a crown june 37. he said, this will be, it will come from this result. does, at least being funds will get the same place. and at least one more game in capsule, coach or dallas, sprinkled some youth around in for this tournament. as a team reach the final in 2018. 1 better time out, a new rule noting on convincing the christian in croatia. true to the last 16 you reach the final 4 years ago, giving the same can go even better. yet this time the goal is to go metal because we have the wrong. we have the silver no, only with i have i hope. i think they did wonderful. it was a very difficult game, and the chances are on both sides. so i think they've merited to go for it and kind

of what this national say means to people. i mean, we're crazy about crazy. so it's something that we call a religious and i mean you'd like to break from the real life. well, reports of influencing and unrest have been the story of belgium's well cup ranked number 2 in the world. i felt like kevin to brewing said in the field of the team was too old to be serious type of challenges, but even he would have been expecting them to get out of the group. this tournaments will be the end of the international road for many of the players reached the semi finals in russia 4 years ago. okay, so that true means that croatia move on to the last 16, belgium out. jimmy. let's begin with the cro. it's everybody's been saying that they are too old and too slow and too lethargic those mod ridge days. i mean, it goes on kraemer, it's cetera it's, it's a parent switch,

but they're in the last 16. a ways to limit for this team. i think it depends on the arrival law that they will certainly have had difficulties in their next are around. and yet they, they are kind of all in the same problem with their rivals earlier today. they're doing that. they are like huge, disappointed, and then i never take crecia. ah, i mean, today they played against belgium. they need that desperately, the scar, and they couldn't even a crash. i think the chance the scar i got with having so much space. so it's a team that they out of their reiner outs of the past, they will come, but they think that they, they needed something else in their final 3rd, more quality, more to be more fast. otherwise it would be difficult for them. or if it took a bit about belgium, when we've heard that roberta martinez is announced that this is the end of the road for him. looking again, similar, similar story with crow at the age of the squad. collectively, considering that in 2018, they got to the semi finals. maybe you're a 2016 was that may be the moment that they've missed in the end. yeah. but,

but if you look at these 2 teams, obviously you have an of more of more veteran side in, in the croats, but you still had slacker. dallas continuing to find that weight of be able to dangle the carrot in firm to continue going forward me while we're about to martina's never found that neither to teary on re his assistant, that it is a team that went rather stale. it's a team that well yeah. okay, we're the semi finalists were okay, we're the golden generation were this and that and were satisfied with that. so there really wasn't that motivation or a didn't seem like, i mean, this is one of the worst performances a belgium has had going back to 998 where they'd a winner match was 3 draws here. they've only scored one goal in look at all the names that are in the and that roster to have that type of performance to meet the greatest to support the work up. yeah, absolutely. we'll discuss that again a little bit later, but very shortly. we'll see the conclusion of group e with all 14 still in with a chance of qualifying germany a bottom of our group. they must be costa rica to have any hope of going through. samantha johnson has more on that game. there's

a name on the lips of every also recon right now. the name of a footballer actually a defender, the man whose talents worth critical to getting costa rica into the world cup finals and the man who scored in qatar to keep them there so far. hi, i'm samantha johnson. this is well cut warner walker and i'm talking about keisha. pull out that costa rica made it all is impart. thanks to paula coming to the rescue in defense against panama, against the japanese team. his talents were on display at the other end of the pitch. remember depositing that mighty germany and leslie? it all means the costa ricans are still very much in the fight, as they take on the germans. trouble for them is that germany still have some scheme in the game and that's down to nicholas pulled crook. he scored a late closet full. crogue runs on passion and legs which bear the scars of all major knee operations. on top of that, he had the flu when he writing,

after germany will be thanking their lucky stars that he got better in doubles the time they'll be hoping to that his recovery will compare bears as they like to stay in keta. ah, it's a big game for germany and their friends. accordingly to install at old bait state in china goes, robs case bay for us. well, we're getting ready for huge game tonight, al bait stadium between germany and costa rica, the full time well champions, germany brace the real prospect of an exit at the group stage. for the 2nd time in a row, they exited in 2018 and russia. now what they really need is a win against cost to recap, and they need to hope that japan claims that they found themselves as opposed to the group. if they do exit one german legend claimant has cold dos at times 10. so how are the german fans here feeling about that in the prospect? don't start very good by the i thing and now runs up and up and i really expanded

for the, for the 5th star. we need, we have to go to the 5th, find it, and gets a fight. 5th star. i think we have a very, very strong team. we will be costa rica to day even day are very friendly people, but we have to be to day to rich next round and we will win. and we will reach the final and given the book broke up against japanese, it was not really good honestly. but spain was better, but now we, when the white come look at me, what i got to look for today, right? or isn't that what are, are you you and it? yes i

i, we're coming to you live from dough haws waterfront, also known as the cornish, lots of color and great atmosphere here across the road, actually from the fif of fan festival. i'm in studio with jim as a lead and a one a rango. let's talk a little bit about group e guides. the 1st match i want to discuss costa rica and germany. one. i'm going to start with you because germany could actually be eliminated from this woke up at a cost to reconcile that. we're actually sitting in wondering how are they still in contention for replacing the la 16. but that is the reality is a, it's a very real reality bar in the redundancy. but up it's, it's part of the craziness has been this world cup that we've seen. these types of story lines emerge that a team that in only 180 minutes plus heavily created one shot on target. they have

3 points. and another point can even put them in situation. they can bet. i mean, it shows you how well the odds are in their favor, but they really have to come and play their best match. they haven't on that yet. jibber quickly, spain they really should be beating japan, right. i mean, a drug would be enough that he said to him that they are not used to play this way so they will try to get their you when, as when they were to winning 7, neil against costa rica, they were trying for an 8th goal. so it's a way of playing it's 5 changes in the it's quite, quite a few it's i said raises denature. alejandro valdero's as his 1st start, then nichol williams will might continue answered. right. but they will try to win a japan, that it may be, they are a little be old in the back line, but they have back if was like, well, one kamala, big dangerous in the forward line. it's going to be very interesting to see what happens via the over met. she in a groupie, the one that we were just discussing gym or, and i, spain and japan. both sides are still in with a chance, but spain have the age on goal. difference of the fresh in costa rica pull reef is

watching this one for us. spain will go through if they win or draw against japan. here at khalifa, international stadium that only outs if they lose and costa rica beach germany, that might be unlikely, but this is an unpredictable group. the fact that japan beach germany does not worry you. i think he's hocksey then like i'll just tell the argentina. the other think is post on we got when on jump on. when germany on the spain go out. but this is impossible based how can we cast 7 now, your palm beach, germany, but then lost the costa rica which your palm is going to show up here. tonight, even though they lose the added, they have a new beat to name. what makes you so confident? because i'm on the denise theory. huh. i like them. these teams have only played each other once before it's senior level in a friendly 21 years ago. but spain knocked your palm out of last year's olympics.

several players from both sides will now play till i hear in this group a decide i wanted to look at some of that. it was a very disappointing and frustrating memory that we lost to spain in the semi finals of the tokyo 2020 olympics. both players and i have vowed to grow from the frustration. i'm here we are now. we've got the japan will be through if they win, but they absolutely must not lose if they draw much will depend on the result of the other match on the goals they scored in that famous when over germany could still come in supplied. okay, let's so continue talking about spain and the japanese gemma, you mentioned that louis enriquez actually made quite a few changes. will this how much of a gamble is that at nice? i don't think he is fair in benting to might in the fact that that mitchell stays the same. we're scared, scabby and petrie, dad. soak it. they will have the consistency that it says it just bear dna. who can call it a lot like this her. but and he's trying to have fast,

full back there and forward. so i think he's trying to attack that day. douglas, tamara, less better players. let's call it head this way. so i don't think it's just, there's some something a little bit surprising. maybe for the other manager, when a quick rude on the japanese, the routine that seems to get to the law. 16 every other world cup these days. yeah, i mean there's, they're like there's been a process and it's not a process that it's with the senior level. you have to go all the way to the time that there's, they've been 510 years old. a good friend of mine, tom buyer has a lot to do with that. with the development of, of players at the japanese low at a doubt, please use levels and many of them have played together since that level and have gone to the national team. so you start to see how it's not a coincidence that their success and the capability consistency has been quite effective throughout the years. all right, one, thank you for that. well, the canadian team all now heading home after. busy their to, to and the fee to the moroccans. the excitement is not over full super fan. li

cornish, the canadian is on a mission to break the guinness world record of most matches, attended at a world cup. we spent a day with lee and he explained how he does that. ah, my name is lee commerce and i am canada's world cup superfan. ah, i've been to the last 4 world cup canada, l qualified for the 1st time in 36 years. i've been waiting my whole life for this . it started in world cup 1990, or when it came to the united states, it was an instant hook. i was addicted from the beginning and in 2010 when the south african van that the guinness world record of 31 matches. i wanted that title. mm is has a list of items that i need to accomplish. one of them is i need to be in my seat

before the mass starts and i must stay in my seat until the match. and so no bathroom breaks. i also have to have 2 witnesses at each match that i actually was there. i have to provide match tickets 3 souvenirs is our is our math 5 you ticket . it starts really early. we try to get as much sleep as possible because it is, it isn't exhausting adventure, but i absolutely love it. the biggest challenge is getting from one stadium to the next stadium with 40060000 pounds, all trying to maneuver the same way. you need to maximize every single day you're here. so to start the record, i have 16 days in a row of 2 matches a day and it's very important. i've been cutting it close. i was only 4 minutes out from usa whale think i'm a little rundown. i know that i'm going to want to make this as memorable as

possible, so you just got a battle through those tired moment. i guitar will go down in history as having the closest proximity of stadiums where you can go to 2 stadiums a day. and that will be the legacy they leave. as a canadian fan, you can feel alone at time. but this was tough. i discovered that there are a lot of canadian fan ah, a lot of runs to my home city. even my mother has travelled, so that's why it's so much more a driver when you have so many more people that are all share the passion, i recall with football guys and what the world cup can accomplish is it unites the world. everyone

shares the joy. everyone is happy here. you feel it your way, you smile. there's the friendly banter. what it is help me and everyone's here for the same reason. maybe one day when i'm big, i'll try that. jim a solid one, a rango. thank you very much for your time. will speak to get a little bit later. 2 more teams will confirm they play in the last week. the latest today will you have any minutes out for a 2nd? woke up in a row, we will find out, but the moroccan fans are getting fed for the next stage. victory over canada had to be live, reached the lock, i'll say just for the 1st time since 1986 croatia also going through. but belgium, old going home, we'll have more, you know, makes will help spatial back at 2130 gmc, we will see you then look forward to your company here at out of iraq. mm

with ah with

a whole i in with cultures the cost the well no matter what when used in calling to cause that matter to you for.
