is the 2nd most are to logically important city problems. mom, look empire after the egyptian capital cairo, the montessori mosque is among some of the structures remaining from that here on remnants from other iraq as well are found here. the triple is history is overshadowed by a turbulent recent past and a grim reality. oh, this is al jazeera. ah hello, i'm all about this, and this is the news are alive from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. ukrainians take cover under ground up to russia, hits more facilities, mosque was accusing key of attacking 2 of its military bases. south africa is really part. he says it won't take action against president sit around while homesick while challenges of report of misconduct in court. citizens,

military rulers reach a deal with civilian leaders to end the political crisis. they are, but some groups stay away. protesters and mongolia demand answers off to official to the accused with pocketing puns in the countries, coal mines. and in the 1st penalties, shoot out of the world comp, it's true way shot it science to reach the quarter finals and then japan crashing out we're going to start russia, but the defense ministry is accusing ukraine of using drones to attack to its air base is deep inside its borders, russian officials say 3 service men were killed in the explosions at the military bases near the cities of prison and saw to off close to moscow that had been a series of explosions across ukraine, paypal and key from taken shelter in a metro station,

an air raid sirens went off. president vladimir zalinski says air defenses shot down most of the russian miss ours. meanwhile, that had been a series of strikes across ukraine. we're going to speak to rory sharon's is live for us in keith at rory. let's talk about the allegations that russia's making, that ukraine is behind these explosions that the air bases. what more do we know from the ukranian side about this that we nothing official from the ukraine and is probable that there won't be for a while at least. but we do know that ukraine at has been developing long range strike drones. they've told us this since going back at least as far as uh, october. this could be one of their early for res. now ukraine has shown the ability to hit targets in russian controls territory. they have hits airfields in crimea, they've hit the crime in bridge. famously are probably both,

those were done and i think with, with miss isles, they've hit her the wrong, the russian naval base. it's ever stop in crimea that was done with drones. but these strikes were of a different order of magnitudes in, in regards to how far inside russia or russian territory they are. because from the ukrainian border to these air bases, it's at least 600 kilometers. that's way deeper than they've shown the ability of striking at before. now where it is possible that this could be, you know, one of these new long strike drones, but yeah, there are other alternatives. it could perhaps have been a sabotaged group using some kind of aerial or explosive, but launch from closer to the air base than inside ukraine nights. i suspect that the, that the ukraine is going to keep us getting for quite a while. there is one russian military blogger,

he was suggested that the ukrainians used a soviet era drone. yes. drones do go back for how they all that's old to do the strike, but yeah, i don't think we're going to hear officially from the gradient perhaps ever. this is all happening with a backdrop, of course miss all strikes which have been happening from russia going into ukraine . and of course that's been impacting people where you are as well and keep to just tell us what's been happening there. yeah, just the hours off the, these explosions at the russian air bases, russian planes took off some of them from the very air base bases that were, that were targeted to launch cruise missiles into ukraine. now this was a wave of missiles that i think the grades have been expecting for, for quite some time. the last round was on november, the 23rd. so while ago now,

but they have been repeated the targeting entity infrastructure. and yes, they did that again. now the success rates of ukrainian defense and shooting down these missiles was pretty high of the 70 or so miss also were launched. 60 or so we're down. but that does mean of course that around 10 got through and hit that target. that means they were casualties. civilian ones in rural is after ratio. and that was how it struck in a desa nikolai of other parts of the country. so yes, power has been affected early. iran and kia had generates is running on the streets because the power had dipped a bit here. now the united nations knew human rights and boy boca tuck, who's in country at the moment, had to take meeting with that activists in cave, underground to

a shelter because of the air raid sirens. it might not be over. there is a possibility that the russians will strike again later on the day, but perhaps i can saving up those missiles for another strike on another day road for not. thank you very much. indeed. that's where he challenges talking to his and from keith i want to bring in mohammed volley. who's in moscow far as mama. just tell us what rushes response to all of this is in terms of the, the explosions that we've been talking about at the air bases. yeah. after hours of suspense, and after that too, early responses from the company spokesman mitty, prescott, who said he read the news only in the media. and he also said earlier that you should go to the minister of defense. and now the ministry of defense has issued a statement, but it is very brief saying that it was ukrainian drones with their sov. yet

engines that were sent and mounted those sites on to our bases. one of them is only a 185 kilometers southeast of moscow. it's called the d that jackie level or jackie level airbase. and that's where 3 people were killed when a, a fuel tanker caught fire and exploded. and this statement mission, but those well, 3 service men, the other base, is about 730 kilometers. saw his of moscow. it's called the ingles, air base, and that's where the palmers are stationed. the long range bombers in the statement of the minister of defense, it said that ukraine is did this in order to disable russian long arrange aircraft . air not much has been added to this statement, but we are sure that in the next hours and probably tomorrow we will hear more from officials in the kremlin. and i and the other parts of the russian government mom

involved in moscow, mom and thank you very much. indeed about richard. vice is a security analyst with richie strauss is also the former director for the center for political military analysis with the hudson institute and is joining us live from washington d. c. by zoom. very good to have you with us again on al jazeera that so thank you very much. indeed we were hearing rory challenge are corresponded in a key. they're talking about the fact that a long range drones are something that ukrainians have been working on for some time. what's your assessment of these attacks that have happened at the russian air base is in? does that fit in with the profile? that is rory was talking about well, i think you're crying base correspondent got it very well. you know, in terms of the summary of what the possible options are. so either this is something the russians are making up again, but that does not appear to be the case. more likely,

it was either an innovative, ukrainian striking. we've seen them be very creative in their long range, particularly the combined air and the base ground strike in the black, the court of the brush and be we could be that this may have been new long range, right, weapon that we don't know about that the ukrainian belt, it may be a reconstituted soviet base, some bat bay inherited from the soviet union. and now i dusted off and cried out as the the blogger that was referenced in the package mansion or, and this seems to be most likely it was that was launch closer there the target than prom ukrainian territory. so for how it was been drawn launch ukrainian

down launch inside russia, again rush and target, or sabotage mission by ukraine, special or, or something like that. but you know, we can only speculate and we may not know for awhile to add to the speculation. and this was a day of which vladimir putin was at a bridge, lincoln southern russia, waves annexed russian antics to try me. so he was well away from moscow. i understand that it might be a bit of a reach to suggest that was in some way connected with it, but nevertheless, why do you think if it was done by ukraine or on ukraine's behalf, why do you think we did it now? well, it may have been for operational, regional reasons that you know, this was, they found an opening and gap in the russian defense. the russians were distracted day, were perhaps maybe swapping out a unit that was being sent to the front and bringing in a new unit. and there was a time gap them. i had just manual for kathy called opperation of reasons. geez,

really though are you was mentioned in earlier and in the program the ukrainians are being find full scale from bars meant from long range russian spray weapon brown, foul against civilian targets. and it would reduce ukraine morale to know that they're also hitting rushing target in return. so it's probably a combination of crane. always want to do this or you critique raisins, and now they have an african window to do it. so moscow has set a point that there were at least 3 service men who are killed in one of these explosions. i understand that they're saying that damage to aircraft was minimal. how do you think russia is going to react to this? well, i think we've got some shadowing, a destin stay statement, so they'll say this is

a cranium attack. and then the russian forces and therefore this is going to use to justify the russian bombardment against ukraine. it's may be used as the recruitment all to power. i can look this really as a threat to your safety. it's not just present adventures and far off ukraine, but i don't think it will have much the long range impact on the course of the war . richard, vice is a security analyst with wiki strike. and as always, we appreciate you giving us the benefit of your expertise, said thank you very much indeed for being with us without leaders of south africa, the governing party said they will not adopt the recent report on a scandal implicating the president of misconduct. presidents from pose briefly attended the african national congress meeting, many independent puddle fund. the president may have violated his oath of office. after failing to report the theft of cash from the farm. i'm a was

a says he will challenge the report in court. at the end, it resolved that the any fee will vote against the adoption of the board of section $89.00. given the effect that the report has now been taken on the review by the president mccormick, john jim has more from johannesburg for much a t layers. this treasurer general, he said to the assembled press that should parliament take up this matter. the issue of, of trying to set up an impeachment inquiry in the parliament in south africa, should they take this up as they were scheduled to do to morrow in parliament that the a and c is going to vote against the adoption of, of this independent panels report, they are going to vote against it. but what's interesting is the justification he

gave, because he said just after that, that was given the fact that this report has been taken to court and what he was referring to then was the fact that president rama plaza has mounted a legal challenge to the findings by the independent panel, he has asked the countries constitutional court to review it. essentially, he wants to get those findings thrown out that would benefit him. but the fact that you're hearing this now in this setting suggest to some that perhaps the party is not as unified behind mister rom, oppose a, as they would like to project that they are all that being said, this is april curious, moment for mr. composer. it does seem he has more room to breathe right now because just last week everybody expected that he was going to resign or be forced out. now you have the leadership of the agency saying that they are supporting him. but the justification for that as seems to be,

or seems to sound like they might be hedging their bets, just slightly a coat and shot, a sentence $262.00 people to jail, for taking part in protests against the government. on october, the 20th demonstrators have been condemning the president extending his charm without elections more than 50 people died after government forces opened fire nearly 600 and had been arrested. lawyers severely counted the close doors trials. st legal proceedings have not been respected. ah, crecia have beaten japan and the 1st penalty shoes out of the cutoff world carpet finished $11.00. after normal time. there were no goals and extra time. so people dominic liquor, the coverage was the hero. felicia saving 3 of japan's penalties. a motto pathology was the man to win it in japan, crashing out glacier a suit before to find out whether they're going to face either brazil or south korea. ah,

celebration is coming up to the cross the correlation capital. i grab funds and now be hoping your team can go all the way and loss world cup push made it to the finals, but they lost the title to france. national games live for us. the fee for farm festival door has all but apart i would imagine natasha. that was incredibly noisy for the last hour or so. oh, what is really gave the 1st match of cost are 2022 to go into extra time. the 1st bad to go, you leave pedal the shoot out phase. there were mostly japan bands here this evening and of course they have gone home. i've been surprised, but for sure, a very strong showing. they were matched with croatia, which of course went to the finals in 2018 and went home the losers. definitely. japan and underdog going into this match,

but held its own against croatia. i have found a very happy probation fan. this is alberto, he's actually a mexican fan who is a little bombed like i am that my team did not advance, but just what he also cheers for croatia. i mean, we did class today, ms. brown, but a doug. the obvious question, why is the mexico been a fan of a a great. yeah. and i love how they be a definitely stand out in about, you know, i yeah. hundreds of people and you stood out. i thought you were the other with the man. i love it, i mean, get back with tomorrow. you're going, you just to ride today. tomorrow you're going to be forced to go with matt. who are

you running for a guy do so i am super rod that i able to watch you know, much for joining us near go. we go. i mean exactly, we're a lot of it. yes, he's reminding me of the fact that mexico, the united states and canada will be hosting the next world capital course. what about 2 weeks more of this world top? and let's see if the next game coming out this evening will be as really it's brazil and south korea, south korea, another asian team, hoping to make some history here at the world. an agency has never won the world. natasha. thank you very much indeed. natasha your name there in doha. brazilians are hoping their team will win. an unprecedented 6 world cup trophy is. natasha was saying now if it don't, there is some consolation. they can call on a man who's been making replicas of the price for 25 years. he says he's sending

a dream to his compatriots as monica you that you have reports. it's hard to ignore jasmine against passion for football or missed his house. it's the only one on the block. decorated with replicas of the world cup trophies. the 53 year old mechanic has been making and selling them since 1997 much that a mule dog fish. i've made 3000 replicas in the past 25 years. but for the tournament and katara, i made $600.00 and have already sold $400.00 samples. here's our going well does year because brazil has a strong team bar. the fast lane winters wrote job as many guineas love for the sport is contagious. neighbors, nephews, and even his 80 year old mother lend a helping hand. there's a piece of football history. everywhere you go. this is the room where shabazz grew up and which he shared with 3 of his brothers. there were 2 bunk beds along these

walls. and now it's become a museum, he's filled up with these replica cups that he makes, with photographs of himself, with brazilian players, and all sorts of football memorabilia. i mean again, he still has the 1st ball ever given to him by his mother when he was 5. and so the can you missouri music and he just like the one tele, used in 1970 world cup new. but it was the emotional moment of seeing now retired star dunker, celebrating the 4th world of victory for brazil in 1994 that inspired him to make his own trophies. yes. okay, so so shepherd just start kicking vine. 3 go only ones who can hold the cup or the head, your state who offered them to the vendors and the winning team here. but the cup should belong to the whole country and the people who cheered their players or so i decided to make replicas for fans like myself who are passionate about brazilian football legend belair has been given one of his replica us as well as 50 other

current and former players star player knee man has signed one of his trophies, which is among his many treasures. now me, nicky, me is hoping the brazilian team will bring back an unprecedented 6 world cup trophy, the real gold one. monica in our give, i'll jazeera rio de janeiro, ah, sedans, military rulers, and a coalition of political bodies have signed a deal to anger, political standoff, which has lasted for months. the agreements expected to pave the way for the establishment of civilian rule and elections said and has been without a functioning governments since october last year when the military seized power. well, let's take a look at some of the main elements of the agreement. the transitional government is going to be led by civilians, not the military. political groups that signed the deal will choose

a prime minister. the transitional period ends 2 years after the prime minister has appointed a special council will manage the office of the presidency. ministers in lawmakers will be appointed to serve during the 2 year period. and the agreement calls for a review of the 2020 piece still signed by sedans, government and rebel groups. hippa morgan's in khartoum, and she says several groups don't support the deal. everybody's having a different reaction to this agreement. you have the forces of freedom and change horror lucian, which described this agreement as a breakthrough, and a way for sudan to be able to get out of its political turmoil. and pave way for further talks, which is supposed to be happening in the coming days. between not just the forces of freedom and change coalition in the military, but other political parties as well. then we have the various professional associations and labor groups that have also signed on to this agreement describing it as an opportunity for sudan to restore its transition to democracy. you also

have the other forces of freedom and change coalition, the democratic coalition, which has rejected this deal from the get go describing it as an exclusion of other political parties. saying that it does not meet desperation of the political, a spectrum of sudan as well as the people of sudan. and then there are the protesters on the streets while this agreement was being signed on monday afternoon . thousands of people were on the streets, protesting against the agreement, and those protests were organized by the resistance committees, committees that are based on districts around the capital, hot assume as well as other states. all of them saying that they've been demanding the political parties not negotiate with the military and rather have the military return to the barracks and have appear civilian government while the agreement papers wait for that resistance committee say that the fact that there will be in some sorts of ways involved in the transitional period, and that there were negotiations in the 1st place, that is something they reject. so they are 2 sides here. the political parties that signed on to agreement agreeing to the agreement. then there, there resistance committees and the other coalitions rejecting the deal,

calling it's an exclusion to other political parties. and not meeting desperation of sudanese people because exploded in northern syria injury. one person that happened in the city constantly and comes as tension grows in the border was to cheer, which has been targeting kurdish fighters. that blames those fighters for an attack is stumble, last month's sort of course yellows and keyless, near the border. well, as far as we know from the press media is that it is an explosion, but no one and there are no casualties. yes, yeah. hasn't made any statement about the explosion, but as far as it is reported on their media, it's love to educate the facilities department beside says the northern syria was totally ation between the turkish courses and the the ap continue. and as over denied the targeted the outskirts of

a turkish bays in the countryside. i love golf and it's targeted al bob area. the with synergies of al bob and trickier responded targeting desk calls. and according to the media, turkey targeted around town for the where some syrian government forces have been deployed. on the other hand, we have heard turkish media reporting that target intelligence. smith had targeted this morning, eliminating killing one of the asked the commanders who set to be in charge of the area. also, the radio reports of a russian military plane landed income in which 2 call from the mainland a russian air basin. and as for april, iran, you know, the media, russian general alexander tyco is and was in the lane and he was, he landed and come to talk about the recent developments in the region, including the turkish ground, offensive with the commanders people in,

rallied in morocco's capital robots calling for an end to depression and corruption in government. they want the release of jail. journalists and bloggers opposed, says that demanding authorities do more to reduce inflation. if 1000000 struggle with devising cost of living in the good morning, this is the next up, the moroccan states needs to respected obligations and the social economic, political, and civil. so we demand an end to the tyranny and corruption that the american people have been suffering for years. we want to real democracy, we want freedom. we want an independent judiciary protest as a mongolia have dispersed out a storming the government palace. officials had ordered police to use force to break up the crowd early on monday, demonstrators and also demanding an end to corruption as take a closer look of what triggered the unless it wasn't low as claim. a number of politicians and mongolia have broken the law. while pocketing revenue from coal exports last month,

mongolia as anti corruption of 40 said more than 30 officials were investigated for embezzlement. they will accuse of making illegal prophets from coal mines in companies that transport the fossil fuel into china. for almost 10 years, they allegedly bribed mongolian customs officials paying them to not register over $6000000.00 tons of coal was a buzzard whistleblowers also say corrupt mongolian customs officials registered coal loaded trucks as regular passenger vehicles and not as vehicles carrying goods . 10 men are going on trial accused of being involved and belgium's worst piece time attack. 32 people were killed in twin bombings, brussels airport and the cities metro system in 2016. the trials taking place in a purpose built court in the former nato headquarters. north of the belgian capital, the oxford dictionary has picked its word of the year and the slang term is goblin mode. this is the 1st time the window has been determined by

a public vote. but what is the word mean? harry faucet went to oxford to find out every year the linguistic experts at oxford university press come up with the word of the year. but this year, they've done it a bit differently, proposing instead a short list of 3 words and getting the public to vote on them. the words and question, a meta verse, a hypothetical virtual reality environment in which uses interact with one another and the surroundings in an immersive way hash tag i stand with used on social media to express solidarity with a specific cause group, person, et cetera, and goblin mode a type of behavior which is unapologetically, self indulgent, lazy, greedy, or slovenly, typically in a way that rejects social norms and expectations. perhaps, unsurprisingly, it's goblin mode that came out the clear winner. it surge came earlier this year. the actress julia fox, quoted as saying her former boyfriend, kanye west, didn't like her in gobbling mode,

something she didn't actually even say. but the idea of living the goblin life took off on social media. oxfords experts suggested might be reaction to the social structures of covey, 19 loc downs that they traced its 1st usage in this way. back to 2009. come people probably just thought it was going with the idea of slightly gleeful nor life. was a relatively fun choice or that it provided them with a word to something they'd be doing that they didn't know if they've been that it was cool. but suddenly the fascination with goblins is nothing. new. oxford jones, j. r. r. tolkien covered them in his lot of the rings, goblins and goggles burst forth from the stone work, almost every other building. but having humans on the streets below heard of goblin mode toppling with goblin mode. and he guessed so as to what it might mean. tenants were coughlin good night from now on is that, is that a talk of the have you that you occasionally indulgent? i hope i caught that if i with that so it doesn't sound like a very positive,

very often we can't look after ourselves. so i think that's quite a good idea. some other institutions have chosen more serious words of 2020, to the marion webster. it was gaslighting for the colon's dictionary. it was perma crisis. so is there something peculiar to our times that makes us want to sum them up like this? people change language by voting with their feet over their mouth because they choose which words they're going to eat in everyday life. oh, in particular situation that language evolve. we were going to interview some more people, but a, it was pretty cold and miserable and be i felt the journalistic impulse to try goblin mode for myself. so rather than think of a pithy thought provoking final line, i decided to eat some curos. they were nice, harry faucet, al jazeera, oxford still ahead how to say that we've got our world, especially with far into the reaction to the penalty. she's our win for croatia over japan.

ah. with every pulse this winter front bathroom looks like you think the rains gonna come further south and it does now currently look at the tuesday for cross. that's the line of shout or fun song through sadie rayber into the rainy matches whether be rathermore violet behind it. the air is colder. significantly cold in places like turk minus dan asked about is about 15 degrees below normal. that temperature and that cold extends through the caucasus as well. we're back where we should be with shout, want to in syria or iraq intention, the t still be colder than you might expect, and still warmer sacks of that winter front. if you look in doha down towards lola, in the sunshine, that will of course slowly change with a bit of motion. so cheesy looks fine in doha for the 2 rest days for the foot

board, the well top, we might even see a thunderstorm. temperature drops a little bit, but not a lot of time. you get to thursday. there's the picture for once and then confirming that line of range extends back towards becca, and certainly through iran, with its head giving snow shows up in afghanistan, briefly with africa, through the tropics. it's still raining in some parts of kenya, or you can but most to talk about tanzania, gohler, and in south africa, once again in the east, giant showers are rebuilding ah, people tell stories and take risks to share their experiences. why? because they've been voices telling groundbreaking stories on how to do with

. hi lou . ah ah

welcome to world cup to day. i far as mile and we've just had our 1st penalty shoot out of the tournaments. and it was won by croatia to book their place in the quarter finals and send japan out in just under half an hour's time. result, the south korea name are, is fits, but we'll, he starts. but we again thought he had men and south korea and they're laugh 16 match that game. the kicks off at 1900 g m t. ah, joining me in the studio for this show is football analyst. usher. com. a. gotcha. we'll get her thoughts a very shortly. first, it was a nail biter at algae new stadium as the match between japan and croatia went all the way to penalties at grace or want a few minutes ago with thanks to the heroics of their goalkeeper. dominic live

a coach putting an end to japan's magical run in this world. cup o crecia had a chance early on with a shot from paris such being saved. japan channel the samurai spirits in the 43rd minutes. forward. dyson made us score to give his team their 1st lead of the tournaments. crecia, ty, things up in the 50 minutes with the parents. it's heather. his 1st school at this world kept like a moderate shot, almost went in, but to pan says sweet, she gone, does stretched himself to save that one. the game said $1.00 0, after 90 minutes, going into the 1st extra time that they turned me to pan had a big opportunity to fail to win a shot. it said, sending the game to penalties. gracie gold keeper, dominic liver, kobe ch, emerged as a hero, stopping 3 penalties in the shootout, horatio ari through to the quarter finals after winning 3 to one on penalties.

they're now set to face the winner of the brazil, south korea game coming up in a couple of hours. geminus was there watching for us. mohawk brake for japan, their weights weigh wildcard. cool. it's a final guys on there. oh that croatia violence. asa joy, i'm doing good. now i got you on a 2nd. your got you on the 2nd site? another step? quite so it's another wild pop. fine. oh, how are you feeling a hard time japan? you'd have to say what the best aside, what the in the bus. yeah, well, i would question that of course you can say david about that about i believe that we played our game. it was stuck to call it repaired. of course, they made some pressure to have flaws. they are younger, they made up russia, but the survivor, we get it all, but to be scored, we made a dick while we ran to do a sample. and finally we want,

i want and say it over by the end of those, or what about i got from parasitic hasn't been tested. i luckily we survived the data gall. busy so old can i say it's fantastic, fantastic. fantastic. as the game will run you a tool concerned because this operation team a getting on a little bit now and the japanese, this is ariana. jessica, will you consigned as the game? i went on? yes, i was very concerned, but finally our coach made the made ha changes that were with the courage. and we get the energy in the extension, especially in the 2nd part of the whole time and the in the extension. and we get them to we were the better team in the last went to minutes for sure. and speaking of these changes your coach to cost them if you're more experienced penalty take is why are you concerned about that? well, at the end it comes to the lottery then your so the penalties saw at the spot. yes, we had leave our college level out. oh, got a goalkeeper,

our goal keeper, to put him back for him. but and he made it. he made a great saves and he made us go home. think absolutely, and i can, i just ask you, how did you enjoy that much? it was very fun to watch a, bob. japan was free. good bye. i think we should have one and we did. can you in this wildcat you got very close in 2018. is this the you lift the trophy? can you go one better than 2018, which i can imagine you are very young back then away we've been born. yes, i was born. how old were you? back when i was 7, i say this time that you think you will be lifting the trophy in the cell stadium? yes, definitely, definitely. okay, well let's do some place out without your favorite chance. our very chance. so more yard o b ha more. yeah. oh, be

a mo, mo i heard of vodka. 2 thank you very much, these, the croatian fans going home, delighted that johnny continues about for japan badge any ends here, but that team can certainly be proud of what they've achieved a impact on. okay, let's bring in a sure now and crashes goalkeeper proving the stand out there because aside, it's not very usually see so many saves and one penalty pseudo. absolutely. what dominic liver cove it did today for karesha is absolutely incredible. and it's really important to know that only 2 other goalkeepers have done that and the other one was also croatian, back in 2018. daniel's buses also served 3 penalties and against her denmark. so when you just think about how these to, you know, goalkeepers have been standing out for croatia and they actually come from the very small town called xander, with about 70000 habitants. and just looking at them,

you know, push against all odds and make it now to the quarter finals 2nd time that they are doing this, or of course successively going back to 2018 when they made it to the final. so it's important, you know, to know that koresh or are the duck houses in this tournament, not so many people thought they could repeat what they did in 2018. and now they're in the last 8 and have a chance to go to the final us again. japan crash out unfortunately for them and, but i don't think people realize how just, how close this game was, and i think japan can really leave with their heads held high. can't. absolutely. when you think about japan, they be to, you know, european giants, sir, spain and germany. they came so close against their crow esa today 1st game that we've seen at this tournament. you know, go to extra time and, and penalties. and we're just unlucky. and in football most times you need that luck. yes though we're lucky with the via our but it just didn't work out for them today, but they can go back home and be proud of the performance and just build on that going go forward. yeah, they definitely were unlucky as he say,

oh creation will now play the winner of brazil and south korea that game underway. and around 20 minutes at stadium 974 here. samantha johnson to give us some contacts heading into that match. the 2020 world cup has been quite the journey we've learned. an arab nation can states the tournaments that technological aides, like video assisted referees and fences involved on lose controversy. and that's brazil can be beaten. hi, i'm samantha johnson. this is world cup one o one. no team here in cat. 0 one all of their group games until last friday we all thought expected. even that brazil would be that team, but no one told that to camera vincent abacus goes, celebrations, got him sent off meeting care for cameron fans. he loved it. and so did south korea's because they can now see a change in brazil. alma bear in mind to that south korea is just beaten portugal. so confidence will be hi, kim young long is it used to packing

a party at the last ball cup, who scored the winner against germany. plan chan lynched the wind against portugal uruguay could have gone through in their place. they only needed one more cold, but it wasn't to be broke wise going home to swallow as broke down in despair. some kill men sobbed with relief. that was a little crying. brazil, meanwhile, would have spent the past few days working out not just why they lost to cameroon, for why they didn't school. they've only scored 3 all tournaments. that's the lowest of any team to go through top of. they prove that something they'll be wanting to ah, what continue our bill, deb to this game with peter stammered said stadium $974.00 and monica jada keanu in sao paolo brazil, monica. let's start with you. as usual fans over there must be expecting at victory . ah yes, well it's really

a haunted man. still there is there plain father behind me? i don't know. he can not listen to all the thoughts about the cup is our wonder only way here was no, they're really very cheerful. they're very apprehensive because bizarre are not how stage of the world come. so if you lose the ball, the other thing that people are more than happy to hear is that name are will be back because he had a and bull injury and he was the way from the game. so yeah, people are expecting a victory, but they are apprehensive as a team and result fan dealing with the news about parents this week. how was that affected the mood where you are with? well, today people are relieved to because our beloved traders, he are,

he said he would be watching the game from the hospital when he said he wanted to inspire every player he wanted to row for every single one of them off yet last night. kids are to have his daughters and a grandson, gave an interview. they said that they were tired of hearing of condolences from people, because that was not in a state of the imminent or some press reports had said that he was. he had had coven 19 followed by a long infection, and of course his continuing cancer treatment. so he has debilitating a lot, but he is in good spirits. they say, and apparently. so does he said he'd be watching it from the hospital. okay, thanks so much for that, monica now to peter stem. it 2 as at that game at peter brazil rested a lot of players last timeouts, but they're back to full strength tonight. they're really

all foreign. we'll talk to one a rango about that in just a 2nd. i can tell you that the atmosphere here at stadium 974 is unbelievable. pre game. there was a little bit of a concert to my live. there's so many people here in the canary yellow shirts, but let me tell you, they are people in red shirts to south korea. they have their fans to now, like i said, let's speak to one rango, one. perhaps the big news before kickoff. name are starting for brazil. how big is that for the brazilian? you're going to how a huge spot coming right from the middle. remember the teacher changes line up in the match against serbia, and you saw him being able to play at that number. then be able to, to give more options to huffing you to he sadly. so as well as this is junior said, open up a lot of that attacking end up or was, i mean, well defensively, as we mentioned before in the previous broadcast, denila will switch over from right to left back. it'll be at the $1000000.00 getting the start. so that'll be interesting to see how korea ends up attacking the

wins. 2 players that aren't accustomed to playing a one on the left, one play more on the right back positions that he used to play, but not anymore rel, madrid typically coming into a game like this. all the top will be about brazil. 5 times will champions, overwhelming favorites, but south korea, it's not beyond them to cause and upset. what did they need to do tonight? take advantage of their strengths 1st and foremost, they know that on transition they've been very effective. that when they steal the ball in the middle of pitch, they are facing a team that the starters of about the starters have not considered a shot on target period. so far in this competition, they have to be able to pressure pressure consistently enforce brazil to mistakes in their own half of the pitch. or i can be very interesting to see what happens far. remember, the winner of this match will move on to the quarter finals where croatia await them. all right, thanks for that. we'll talk to you and wine later after the match. a korean football expert albert kin, in fellows spoke to us earlier, he's currently contributing to the felt welcome daily shell and share that reaching

the quarter finals would be beyond many fences expectations. the fans here i think, are still in a sense of shock and awe. almost. it's our 1st period knockout stage in 2010. and honestly, if you looked at our group on paper, we had some really strong opposition. port school one, the european championship in 2016. uruguayan was a team rejuvenated under diego alonzo. and you had gone or that naturalized a few of the european bass players. so i think a lot of pundits and especially people back home didn't expect us to make it out of the group. i think most people realistic we thought we would finish around 3rd. but the fact that we not just progress, but progressed in such dramatic fashion, really lifted the spirits of every one in the country, especially given the recent events that we've had. unfortunately with the tail on our tragedy back in october. so right now it's a bit of happiness mixed with shock. and now we're go into this brazil game with

some cautious optimism. it's not a lot optimism because it's a 5 time world champion, but it's, it's a sense of maybe we're just happy to be here at this point. earlier we heard from south american football expert john carter l. he told us that while some of brazil's players did get some rest, their final grade game defeat against cameron showed that the squad may like a big match practice. the big problem is for brazil and also to argentina, to some extent is that the south american qualifies a far too easy for both present on argentina. and they don't get a chance to take on the big guns of european football. for one reason or other is different international tournaments going on. so it is a step up saying that both brazil and argentina do have a lot of plays based in the premier league and lily's sides in europe. but it is a problem when the national sites get together. it wasn't wake up coal, even though brazil put out their reserve side that's. that's remember that. but even even then brazil's reserves normally are far too good for anybody else in any

competition. brazil beat south korea and a friendly 5 goes to one in june. so yeah, it was a wakeup call, but it was in brazil. see any loves to any t as a humiliation, but especially against canada. did not go to town. well, even though brazil put up reserves, gibson, the advantage another advantage, brazil didn't need any more. hodges is the fact that they have the whole team of arrested players which south korea did not have because they put out the full squad, did not match against portugal. sure how important is it for an asian team to stay in this competition to show that of this turn? mit is truly global. i mean, it's interesting to understand that you know, the history of the walk up. you have always, teams that you know, are coming from south america and europe, they've always dominated. and until 986, you didn't have to teams from as competing in the woke up and that's 12 additions

later, you know, since they know good competition. so we've seen as in teams, you know, continue to grow and at the hearts of that growth is south korea and japan. now we know that japan out of the tournament to south korea literally have all that weight on their show that and who better to show than to be brazil. of course, to types of favorites for this tournament. if they can manage to get past it is team, then now they're talking business and into the quarter finals, but it's not very easy to play. namer and brazil. yeah, they'll be looking for an upset. ok. as we said, brazil have been dealing with news that pelley has been moved to an end of life care facility. many could sorry, say pele has a special place in their hearts and it goes all the way back to 1973. when he toward the gulf with his national teams santo's, farrah harris met one person who remembers at all me, jonathan football. infuse the tunnel just in the office. sports stadium is positive

catalyst history. it's web page and it's staff study team samples played against cas early in 1973. photon was 15 years old and he remembered he couldn't sleep the night before the game of excitement without tickets he snuck in with his friend by jumping over the fence. people he says line up in a building nearby. just to get a glimpse of pele out. he knows sure for i saw a little bit of time i didn't do any kind of funding for ya. ya and i had left the welcome to do sophie, mitchell has got a multi 1000000000 mode with you. i need to clear out him general billing issue. i believe took all this, we got a bill where bill gage will believe amount of money out and see about your new album on my mobile device. bailey. more dude. i backdated it to me. shipping jaina . oh, shabby. i can let you give you another shot. i thought he tried that last word,

is in the 7030, sometimes love to the beautiful game may have started in 73, but decades later, he's sharing his passion with world cup is just by holding an exhibition, valuable thought on the cut to hand us someone. no small to you know, so let me know about it could have you seen the edge of a high swat in high, so i used that, but i thought he did debate it and did it with gaining that initiative, which it ended a woman, mundane. she just t with tough leave for him to the had the one out of school that one lot of the faculty, a london issue and no one federal. we have moved from the law, not open at cooper and so cons. thoughts on castro's exit at the walcott? well, just not leasing to santos in 73. and he says the 2022 wont cut. it cuts off biggest

when listening gibbering work up here. this man thought a height of al jazeera doha. england's man can still dream of winning the world cup in catera for now at least. but it's england's women who have given their fans the biggest cheer so far this year, winning the euros in the summer. foreign local women's club in london. it's all about community as much as sporting sick fath. as nadine baba reports written as a community center in south east london. they're getting back into training. what makes this football club different is it's the only one in the country specifically for muslim women. sisterhood f. see you started in 2018, but it's clear how much it means to which members i came across them through instagram and sisterhood, etc. and i saw that there was a job, he's us a goes in like me and i thought let me, let me give it a shot. and i went to the training session and it was so much fun and we'll go so

welcoming and lovely. and i never went back to anything else. initially, the club struggled with funding, but recently for the 1st time it's played 5 aside. on 7 aside in the lady, she could be good. we were really determined to say like, well, yeah, this was a lie, but we can still play war and we can still get pretty far in the league and we came forth and it was for our 1st kind of league. i think we're really happy about that . to be fair, regardless of results is already proving invaluable for young women from across the capital. recently, some had got together to watch will cut matches. it's nice to see that the world of us for everyone, and it's like it can be represented in the countries outside of europe and on, in like muscle country. so it's, it's nice to see that and, and i was our support neuron on their plan with the router that he can answer like i've lost interested of it. well, we might be a long way from the world cup stadiums in cut off, but for these players, what matters most is simply enjoying the sports and being able to be themselves.

and as it attracts new players, the hope is the club can offer a welcoming space to more muslim women for years to come. i mean that he, barbara al jazeera brother hides in london after this world has felt like a real family event for me. lots of women and children around have you noticed that? absolutely. if you look just behind you in the pack and behind me at the corner, you see so many families coming out, you know, to enjoy the fresh air and also just watch the daily fireworks that we see here at 9 pm. but just generally, i have a friend who had the 9 year old daughter and had never met her cousin. so he rang up, he's siblings, they brought their children and they met for the very 1st time in door. they spent one weeks together. it's been absolutely incredible to see them go to the games and actually enjoy the football. and really it was the daughter's 1st time to go to a stadium. so it's a story moment and always remember that. yeah. what a great story. you know,

we've seen women's football matches all around the world break attendance records. how much of a landmark do you think the women's world cup in australia and new zealand will be, will be historic. just this october australia hosted the phoebe women's basketball woke up and they set the highest number of spectators in a tournament, and it was about 145000 spectators altogether. so surely as a sporting country, they love their cricket, their rank be and women's football as well. and the team has been doing great. so i expect that so many fans will make it to the stadium just to support the ladies. but also just to enjoy that, you know, tournament experience and they've had a great tournament here with the men. so the one to repeat that next year. yeah, exactly. ok, thanks so much for that. i sure that's all for now. my thanks to ask her for her insight, the brazil again, south korea game takes off in a few minutes. the winner will face korea after they beat japan on pedal, feel their quarter final spot after their game finish. one all will have more in
