far. but of course we are playing the world cup favorites. looking at a bit of history, australia we are, but we've been described as the invincible underdogs this. but the argentine team because that will cup favorites. we play them a number of times in the past, but we've only bitten them once and that was back in the box and teneo a gold cock we've had to draw between the 2 in the past. and of course in 1993 that was on the draw between the 2 at, during the world cup clamp match. so we've got anthony albany to the prime minister here. he said he will declare a public holiday. julia wins the world top. we just want to get through this match, but of course i'm astronomy is got to type to pingdom on a when potential when to not. but the crowds are certainly excited as you can potentially see behind me. yeah, we can see and hear the excitement behind you. thank you very much. i'll talk in brisbin. well, let's check out the atmosphere here in doha. catch ya pace. hold on is joining us from soup. why keith, which is not the place to be in doha. if you're not at the stadium,

got you. yeah, this is definitely the place to v as a sponsor. com. and kinda check out the vot before a match. and sometimes also after i can tell you just about an hour ago a couple of hours ago. maybe this entire area was more of a bargain tinian fans who are cheering on their team trying to get ready for the match. and we also see that there's a lot of messy jersey. he's a lot of people rooting for that star player. and what's interesting is that at 1st we just argentinian fans wearing that teacher. but now be also seen people from other nationalities, routing for him, and also breaking out in cheer here at the soup walkie of a lot of those fans have now gone directly to the stadium to see to see the game directly. but that enthusiasm is still here. along with some nerves, we see now that things are getting a bit more serious. um, a lot of teams are now out of the tournament that things are being combined with joy and also with a bit of anxiety does being fuel by i think, more than anything the surprise of this world cub. another interesting fact i want

to point out is that not that a lot of fans are also a heading out of don't find out that their teams have been eliminated. we see a lot of categories, a lot of locals, actually enjoying a meal, enjoy photographs and nice moments here at the soup. so that's what i from also being a spot to come and analyze game. this is also becoming a cultural hub of the world cup here. and go, ha, ha, thank you so much, catcher, lopez, holiday on live there dos. so quantitative and legendary brazilian football player pelley has been moved to palliative care after his chemotherapy treatment, reportedly stopped working messages or support an get well wishes were screened around doha. pelley has been babbling colon cancer for more than a year. his considered one of the best football players of all times and the only one to ever win 3 world cups.

let's turn our attention to the days avenues now and ukraine's present voted me as a landscape. chief of staff says a recent western prize cap on a bow of russian oil is not enough and should be lowered even further. early on friday, the g 7, australia and the e. u announced a limit of $60.00 a bow for russian oil imported by c. ukraine wants that to be brought down to $30.00 a barrel. the kremlin says it won't accept the price cap. calia dangerous, moved by western governments. the measure is expected to come into effect on monday . that's the same day. and embargo by the eel will be applied to rush includes. mom advantage has more from moscow. the spokesman of the company, the mitre pest coffee, said the russia will not accept this decision. and she's analyzing, still analyzing the situation. and he also said that russia is, has been preparing for this decision for some time when the pressure has been talking about this for some time, anticipating this decision for

a few months. and they have always been here saying that russia will not sell any oil to any country the finds on this price cup. and the meaning of that is that russia will try to re oriented oil exploitation to countries that will not find this, this agreement for india and china. of course, russia doesn't have any pipelines going to those countries, but it has to be prepared and, and this could be the explanation of, of that last part of the best course statement. russia has been preparing some alternatives in terms of seaborne expectations of the infrastructure for seaborne expectations, buying ships, renting leasing ships for this purpose, knowing about many other countries will fall under the obligation and the need to, to tow the line regarding what the options have just decided so russia knows that

it has to use some alternative infrastructure to export it to those countries that will not accept to sign on this decision. and rory challenge as he cranes reaction from the capital keys. ukraine has been calling since the beginning of the russian invasion for a complete on embargo on all rushes energy products, whether that be oil or gas, whether that be seaborne or, or pipe. so, an oil cap, a price cap on russian seaborne oil. you can see that from the gradient perspective, it doesn't go far enough under a yo mac, who is president landscape chief of staff essentially has said that that price cap would have to be $30.00 a barrel half the agreed price cap that's been announced to be able to destroy or degrade russia's economy, foster bots,

he says that it doesn't really matter because in a bullish statements ukraine is defeating russia on the battlefield. and ultimately, whether the price cap is 60 dollars, 30 dollars, or a complete embargo, as he cray would ultimately like ukraine, according to the government is still going to defeat the russians and still gonna repel the invasion. while moreover, is one of the countries that relies on russia for power by the invasion of ukraine has seen some supplies, cut off and talks to resolve the clients who stole andrew simmons, 3 fourths moldova nights get darker and colder with power, saving all over the country, and now the energy crisis is compounded by another power source being reduced or cut. it's from this hydro electric plant in the disputed territory of trans mystery . a russian forces have been here since separate and took control more than 30 years ago. this soldier crosses into moldova and territory,

asking for id documents. we have an army on our territory from over 30 years. and we have a frozen conflict wherever russians ours and part of it. and then you see that little kits russian missiles ah, flying above our territory, and part of them are failing falling on our villages. and of course, you are feeling fretting investigation. oh, and there are frequent reminders of russian influence here, even though the government says these pro russian demonstrations are orchestrated by an exiled oligarch. most people support the government and looking to the west, but bolt over isn't in nato. all the european union and it's collapsed. economy is getting even weaker. the people have mold over

a finding it harder than ever to get by inflation right now stands at 30 percent. no surprise, then that the population of 2 and a half 1000000 is shrinking at one of the fastest rates in the world. as more and more young people move overseas to find work, an issue or a per seekers plight shows what so many moldova and families are up against. her husband has cut 2 trees down to provide enough water for one room. the gas heating is switched off. they can't afford it now, and each wire is alone with her children. and her husband had to fly to germany a few days ago to find work new for that matter. as of yet, honestly, i never thought i could bring it to the point where we have to live apart a house bill. so sat now and he swore a will have to live with insecurity unless she and her family leave their homeland . andrew simmons al jazeera kisha, now moldova franchise into man. yeah. michael says there's no reason to be

concerned about possible park at st. francis winter, his calling on citizen seals less energy is also asked to the state electricity supplier to restart nuclear reactors to prevent outages. but don't panic, that's useless, and it's not true that work on restarting nuclear plants is a failure. there's legitimate work done by the government to prepare for extreme cases. of course, this includes the need to cut electricity for some hours in the day. if we have a shortage, it's normal for the government to prepare for an extreme case. because as the recent years have shown us on, sometimes the unthinkable happens. ladonna, the palestinian foreign ministry is calling the killing of a palestinian man in the occupied west bank. an execution. witnesses say he was involved in a car accident with an israeli sadler before being apprehended and shot at close range by israeli forces. rob mcbride report some occupied his job slam before fisher below

a heavy security presence on the streets of horror in the occupied west bank. the scene of the shooting awe, while the events leading up to it are disputed with local people saying it began with just a quarrel and police saying the man 22 year old amar mifflin coming up their officers with a knife. there's no doubt from the video how the shooting itself happened. a struggle between the men, both grabbing the officers rifle as they separate, the weapon falls to the ground, while the officer apparently pulls out his hand gun. shooting at miss flay as he lies on the ground. ah, he would die half an hour later. this was the funeral just a day earlier for 2 palestinian fighters, one of them, a field commander from islamic. he heard with the up surgeon fighting, leading to near daily killings and fears of this simmering conflict escalating out of control high level of violence in the occupied west bank and

israeli in recent months, including attacks against these railey and palestinian civilians increased use of arms and set related violence have caused grave human suffering according to the un, 2022 already counts as the bloodiest year in the occupied west bank since 2006 a year. that isn't over yet. the killing has brought immediate condemnation from the palestinian authorities who describe it as cold blooded murder. there's also been a strong reaction from the e u office here saying it's gravely concerned about what it calls an excessive use of lethal force. rob mcbride al jazeera, occupied east, jerusalem. yvonne said security council says more than 200 people have dyson. nationwide, protests broke out in september. the government says this number includes people killed in what it called very fast spending. clues security forces as lower than

the figure is estimated by human weiss, groups inside and outside. yvonne who say up to 470 people were killed. yvonne is the months of andre falling the death of 22 year old. my family while in police custody. well i speak to nigga martez ivy about this. she's joining us from washington d. c. she's in a radian american journalist and host of the wine podcast. thank you so much for being with us. how significant did that iranian security officials are admitting that 200 people have died in protest, even if that number is significant, be lower than not coded by human rights organizations. whether it is significant and also it's something that was inevitable. a, they have actually done this some form and that mission in the past with evidence coming out. there's so many images, so many photos, so many videos and also rigorous documentation by various rights groups and organizations, even groups or individuals that are inside and also the families,

the families are those were being killed or speaking up. so there is only a certain amount of time that the denial can go on and sooner than later they would have to come out and show some form of admission. so i'm not shocked, but it's also very significant that they have made this admission. what do we know about the nature of the death? how, how have most of the victims died when it's very difficult precisely because they want in afford you don't give access to independence and the free press. foreign correspondents are majorly bad from entering the country. the ones that are active on the ground are very limited and where they can go, how they can report what they can report images, videos. so for those of us covering it outside the country, we have to rely on a lot of sources that are not necessarily established organizations or media outlets. there's also a lot of misinformation and this information out there. but it's,

it's the fault of the, of the government that is not giving access to international organizations. credible right groups. their researchers are good to go and do that. but nevertheless, the, some of these organizations have done the difficult work. and so far as you've also said, we've seen over 400 nearly 500, that mostly by security forces images show direct shooting. protesters, sometimes even running away on arm protesters people protestors. and it seems like mostly it's being done by security for says against on, on the protest started over the death of my son meany, but seems to have grown into something much bigger. what sort of change are the radians have been taking to the streets, looking for well, the floor. it's actually started as

a feminist uprising and it's turned into this intersection, all community of protesters of various schools that each are bringing their own grievances and demand. political social, economic to the mix it's, it's turned into a very loud and systemic know essentially to the system. we're very explicit. move in against the entirety of the system. again, senior. neither of those womic republic noted islamic for public note to the supreme leader. so it's a very loud cry and demand by the protesters. the different groups and demographics for women, young girls, university students, high schoolers, and children, teachers, neighbor work cars. it's just continued over 3 months at the 3rd month, protests right now in the face of the pseudo violence. they haven't done yet. any

regime under the right to think the name of dealing with a very serious legitimacy crisis. what does this translate into an essential crisis? it's unclear because of this food, a virus that they're using against testers. they have shown the will, the capacity to suppress and to crack down on for testers in the past. so it's difficult to say which one is going to prevail, but at the same time, if they make concessions and if they decide to listen to some of the demands of the port, this is what they have. not until this point may be ways of meeting him somewhere halfway, but so far they haven't shown any flexibility. and so the protesters have continued and persisted. but will these protest turn in to go to your question, an existential crisis for the regime? it's actually bringing it down. it's still too soon to speculate about that. thank you so much for talking to us about this. nick are more tech savvy. joining us from

washington. we appreciate your time. and in fact, thank you very much. danishes marvel. trade union says it no longer accepts the country's political path because of what he calls individual rule, a likely reference to present eyesight. the 1000000 member unions afford aside when he consolidated his powers last year. but his leader now 1st in asia's democracy is under threat just 2 weeks before parliamentary elections ought initial transition to democracy has been tumultuous since the 2011 revolution and matters came to a head last year. last july, presence i. e sat, his government and froze. parliament, his opponents accused him of staging. a qu beside argued he acted legally to rescue the country. he went on to ward himself, powers to rule by decree that allowed him to put aside parts of the constitution. this july, exactly a year after side sacked, his cabinet, a referendum to bring in a new constitution pass by a landslide. it turns danishes government into a presidential system giving the present why powers and limiting parliament's role

. political analysts, yes. mean a creamy says the union was once willing to give presents. i the benefit of the doubt, but no longer we power all the we have possible, of course, but it has a very critical role about noon. but that dependence and the government has never been dependence. have tried to kind of haul be the impact and popularity of the union is very much he talks about the blow. if the union is not what i doing people in chinese. yeah. no action coming in 2 weeks. i think most people have no idea the 1st time in the country's history. political parties are,

should be back from the band probably for the interesting candidates on a level of the national level. if the political party, by your organization, how to organize to get back to the main problem today, is not the author of friends. it has been organized enough and what needs to be done, there needs to be a real counter political offered janisa as foxman for the turkish present, says the government will not relent in its efforts to go after. on the following last month, attack any sample which killed 6 people anchor is preparing for a round operation into northern syria targeting the kurdish fighters. it blames for the bombing spokesmen in special adviser. abraham collins spoke to resorts that are on talked launches here. in the recent incident, when the terrorists attacked her,

the civilians on stickler street, which is day. you know, the, one of the kind of heart points you know, main points of his stumble. of course, we had to respond and our initial response was to coordinate and conduct a number of air operations. and of course, depending on the threat level of as assessed by our intelligence and our for defense ministry and other related agencies, we will go after this terrorist video from the air or from the ground for us or any an old p k, k, p y d y, p g establishments. elements are posts, military points are legitimate targets for us. whether they are out in western syria or in eastern syria, northern syria, near the border, are far away from it. they are legitimate targets because they are terrorist organizations. and we go after them to protect our borders. we don't target russian

or american soldiers or military posts in syria or anywhere else. mccarty fargo seen that our p k k p y d y p g elements. and we tell them to stay away. of course, from those elements you said p y d y, p g is using at one point american flat at another point the regime flag to protect itself. saying that you see, you cannot attack us because there american seal. you cannot attack us because there are vision forces here. sometimes they do this with the russians less so recently. but in the past that i think shows the extent to which people, p y, d, y, p g, is using their alliance with the united states to legitimate thereon a presence in northern syria. and you can watch entire interview with the brain calling on talk to al jazeera on sunday at at 730 g m t. and still ahead. we are live at our walk up studio until has waterfront with me to

cup. now this moment is one that bounces and enjoy and rejoice as they look forward to the rest of cutoff 2022 guys. tell me how much you are doing yourself off that when i listen to ethnic. amazing. yeah, i was, we were a little bit scared coming into the match the united states made really well, and i'm so happy we went so on that evidence go always going to happen. well now it looks like everybody, very good. they keep me like this. yes. what's your message to the duck team? does that so you guys, are you guys are growing in your, in how you played a field. i'll just keep it up and i'm sure was able to roll title back in a briefly with his dutch delirium me in the netherlands act. that results. step

awesome has been with partying fans in amsterdam o ducks, party going on in a small cafe and answer a final agreement amendment. people here to read the final. so again, the number 3 to find a 3 time with number one. the woke up thought is a lot of excitement that that may be within reach right now. so how are you? how are you in english are in good, and it's, i've been a great rebid view as a grade next step to the next round. i couldn't be more happy model. okay. number one, the world. god, you think that's possible this time? absolutely. i mean we have louis but how would you grade guy live on the window? ok, go or we go and walk over a lot of optimism,

as you can imagine. and the, the rolls around the balls wrong. not only avenue here in hampton, but all over the netherlands. people are really, really excited and very happy with us. oh, happy new theme amsterdam. jim a solid. i suppose if we're honest not an unexpected result. no, not that surprised at all. i didn't know either say that he was a brilliant leg game or uh, uh, don't shut up pretty much go on. and they were very effective, something that their arrival that us couldn't do it because with one needle and tomatti where he had such a chance, i think he missed it. then when this happens a day louis are blind in the other site there to neil. i would like to highlight it

filter off i, yes, he's been excellent goal jesse step to clarence's 7 recoveries so well as well for them and fees that buy it. let's remember that the striker wasn't able to compete for 2 months. he was house injury one here right here. so the, for the to, for this game, he was a substitute and he could play the last of the group stage, started and he scored his 1st goal today. and let's give it as well to leave on guard. the eldest coach hearing the tar a. he has never been be turning in the work up a level games now i'm beaten into work up with the netherlands in kids before and it period so that's let's give some grade to the 3 times runner ups. but never champions. right? it's like a little bit about the united states law, 16 this time. next time they will be the co host. have you seen enough from them to suggest that they can do better in 4 years? i think they should. i think they are improving,

but maybe little by little because by now they have a good squad. they have a lot of players playing in the top leaks in the champions league in europe, and i think they should be doing better with them. so that much improvement maybe in this game, and actually we won't complain at the end of the game that they lost so many balls and that's true. the u. s. had their chance has, but they couldn't take them all right. now again in 4 years time they will be the co host. but a lot of people have been saying that they have a problem that they don't have a gold score. and alton, our goal scorer is 4 years enough time to find this guy. no, no sir. yeah. they have been missing that that quality in the final 3rd day with police. it just says it's not enough to return this kind of knockout stages. i don't see any player that may be in right now that in 40 or it can be a top striker, but that they have so many great academies, but soccer is still one step behind from other sports. so we will see we will feel

the best 4 years from now today though, argentina take on australia in less than half an hour from now the soccer ruse beat argentina in their 1st meeting in 1988 would you believe so they can pull for shock just like saudi arabia did in the group stage here. samantha johnson with mall one of the drills of the wells cup, a scene new talent, shine players who make managers of clubs around the world look up and typically just that from now one when one particular argentina midfield ethan's, i'm hi, i'm samantha johnson. best is world cup one o one argentina, have a foreboding dynasty too. thankful. driving alexis mcallister to the top of his game is that carlos he's to play for argentina. the weather's were close as was his uncle patricio. and finally, alexis has his 1st international goals scoring as well have injury and co. 19 men. he missed some qualifying games. it's mixing up right now. he was the play of the

match against poland. so his current club brighten hope albion can expect to begin argentina didn't exactly cruise through the group stage here in cancer. they loved to saudi arabia. so australia note, they can be to the ne, matthew left. he is on one's lips back home in australia, he scored with them mark, but his coach grey on it knows the days, but at their best argentina will be a much, much tougher position. yes, for your st. railings will have their eye on alexis mcallister, but he's not that only problem. just ahead of him on the field. they can see another significant threat, one lino messy, but the one being australia don't lack is confidence. so here goes nothing, ah, quite an in store for every one watching at the off my been ali stadium who receives following the game and has been speaking through some of the fence. ah,

where is elise stadium where i'll just see the funds it gets you ready to see that team take uncle st via for place in the quarter finals were joint boy. oh well i'm only one on go here. now one i'll concede is opening day most to saudi arabia. it's kind of get the ball rolling on the shops. we've seen a counselor in 2022, but would it be an even bigger shot? were they to lose to most right? i mean, absolutely. his 1st and foremost to look at it from one perspective, there haven't been in the history of the world cup that many upsets of that nature at this stage of the tournament. now of course, you can start remembering south korea against against italy, a couple of years back. you can start remembering those states, but there's very few and far between. so if you look at it from that perspective, yes, it would be a huge chunk. you know, i'm actually living in australia, so it's, it's great that we're going to see these kind of match and he's good to see australia this stage might not be so great to go back to australia dealers. oh yeah, i will be right with

wow. specifically with what you've been hearing grandma will past couple of days. he's been appealing to the spirit of 1988. that's of course the only time that australia have beaten argentina . he was on that team. but if you look at this version, it's a team that has good counters that seem that depends very well, very organized, very compact getting dropped back, a can really hurt you on the counter. watch out argentina's full back how they're going to be playing. i company to 9, so that come from better homes and one ill tegan, i still save. unlikely books really have already greets and a very good even dealt with the way they can read all contain it will be the biggest result in the summer is history. ok, so jim, tina, understandably start his favorites against the australians. they are also without unhealthy area. how much of the problem is that going to be?

well, it's always a problem when you use or have you're supposed to earn $1311.00. it's papa gomez who her serving chose by scholar and he was the only starting on that so shocking to fit against. so the or avi about her. he has a lot of quality in the event as well. another chance would have been for the well are order allow that or martinez sigh. it will be there. finally, an important get much for mess his special as well because he's the 1000 off his career as a professional. they have so much pressure argentina, especially being in knockouts. they just after what happened with saudi arabia and being so much favorites against an underdog. so that's the only thing i can sing, it can be a problem for argentina, that pressure, and especially if they get the narrowly goal, i think ever the game can be quite smooth. otherwise, that pressure that narratives, that the scared can be a problem for this colonial squad. if you all australia coming in to this match, what is the strategy?

i tried to cancel the mess. c major can effect. ah, we have seen that saudi arabia did pretty well. but sometimes when you build a cage her around low mercy, you have holy anal. but if you have bubble warm as you, how far in south atlantis, a lot of quality as well there. but says being said that australia has managed to the western bryce in each of their games. they took the early against france. they played really well against tanisha and they defeated denmark. so i have, i have seen that the chances of fire, argentina being the next, the state is 85 percent. so they have a chance, a host to rally. it's a little one, but they will take their, their options of 15 for failure mode up. marilyn's will be hoping for the 15 for, for yeah, definitely with the the easier. all right, cuz don't forget that the winner of the sergeant tina australia march will actually take on the dutch in the quarter finals now for teams or busy preparing for the last 16 games on sunday. it's france up against poland. and england's sizing up

synagogue did their charm says he's frenched him. we'll watch poland captain robert live in dog ski very closely in either mine is obviously he's a very clinical striker. and with that type of player, you have to try to restrict his influence in the game because the less he receives the ball, the less he can do that. obviously he's a very clever player. he's technically very gifted. he knows how to use his body very intelligently. he didn't get a lot of ball in the matches in the group stage, but with just one chance he can be very dangerous. super it with angela neal. all right, france versus poland. that's coming up to morrow. jemma, we saw the poles against argentina where it kind of looked like robert de la robert live and off he was on the halfway line and the other 10 were all in the final 3rd, right? they own final 3rd. are we gonna see that again, against the wall champions? i think so. uh huh. i'm sorry i did want to, we have seen so far. i thing aids are going to be one of the best themes again to one of the wars that would have seen did. they didn't do much to be in the knockouts they just, but they were lucky and took their chances. but of course,

when you have a, a play of so talented, then with so much quality in the final 3rd, that could be surprised. but i think this france said they are very calm. the course of the defending champions, the course of having so many injuries that weren't forgetting about been samar incom, gore can day book by is so many air and they are in the big favorites in this much to what extent you think the will champions will win easily tomorrow, easily in the state, just as difficult to say, but they have in so poor poland if they haven't find a magic way to find more live on the sky, i would say something maybe not 8515, but let's say 7030. all right, we'll keep an eye on that match when france take on poland and the winner that match will play either finagle or england in the quarter finals. senegalese coach l u c. se has been unwell, so his assistant gave

a pre match news conference that's called a confidence of making the court to final. so the 1st time in 20 years that went on the desolate legal, more beating england would be a tremendous achievement. i don't know how important it would rate compared to the victory in 2002. that was an important victory as well. but i'm sure it's almost as important. and for all of the players, the objective is to show that we are capable of playing one of the top 5 teams in the world. they know before i think. but if we can beat it, seem like that that sends out a very strong message of the progress that we have made that talk about england and cynical we saw the english 4 years ago in the semi finals last year. at the years they were in the final lot of pressure on the team to go one better. how difficult is the cynical law, 16 fixture for them? they are the african team highest in the, in the ranking, and they have proof that they can compete. well, is that going to be an off against england? i think it depends on the rival, on the efficiency of the, of the so the squat i think they are and their group such held them to be

a better position than when they, you lose the euros. and the previous disappointments that they hot, the defensive line has improved. it was one of the weakness. so if they keep doing that, i think they are way favorites out of the bigger teams at this tournament. and the group stage when as england, one of the only ones who didn't actually lose a match, we saw that with france, spain, portugal, brazil. how much of a boost in confidence would that be for the english? do you think? i think it's important important for that because maybe they were not arriving to the gold cob. last, like feeling very much favorites, even though if you think about it, most of the players play in the best leaking the wall in the premier league. i think the fact that the war copies being played now in gwin charter is better for them because they are physically, t is better and the fact that being beaten in these knockout stages, it's important as a boost of confidence. so i think it will definitely help,

but the fact that my seeing that the, the others have lost, i know it will be the favorite. is it an $8515.00 situation? now let's put the $6535.00. i'm gonna put you under pressure will continue the conversation in a 2nd. one of the remote places where people are following the world cup is the pacific island of 2 volume. a family is watching the football on an island about the same size as the stadiums in doha right now we are in the small, i live full fall affected. it's one of the i live on with . my name is c o c, matthew, i'm a family man with a will cut. it's unique and special in the sense that there are lots of v was
