i opened, okay, this is a new series of short documentaries, by african filmmaking, africa direct on al jazeera. ah . well, tara martinez. oh, the dream is still a lie, but only just for the south american. a heavyweight, some near, no messy at the world. come break for another favorite from the continent. brazil, a knocked out by croatia in another mailbox intend to shoot. ah, hello,

i'm down, jordan, this is all they are alive from joe also coming up and tagged. the merchant of death returns to russia after a prisoner swap. and accuses the west of trying to destroy his country. and how ancient knowledge on modern science saw combining to revitalize australia's great barrier reef well, a tournament favorites heading home from the football will cut off that penalty shootout shock in the quarter finals. 5 time champions, brazil, not packing their bags. santa lucius, more from a studio window, has water front here in cutoff to south american giants when the call to final action. and only one remains after 2 dramatic walk up penalty. shootouts priscilla out the argentina r threw up against the netherlands argentina. we're ahead to going into the break defender now and molina going, he says international call for

a sec up by lena. messy my plus, when was trip to in the books giving argentina and penalty in the 73rd minutes messy school and the from the spot to pull argentina up to now. the netherlands pulled one back from war with course, and in the last action of the game at 10 minutes into injury time. a cunning fee ticket for the argentina defense and with course made it to to and he stayed like that to ride to the end of extra time. argentina, goalkeeper. i mean, yeah, i know martinez said the 1st to netherlands, spot cakes and left argentine as latoya martinez to convert the winning penalty full 3. the score in the shootout argentina threw in a dramatic match at new sales stadium. and absolutely crazy, gave a football game with hot right for the dogs. but for our didn't tell you that i can now look forward to a semi final date with kaiser. this paid your net choose value for the 10s of

thousands of pounds here. this must initially seem to be going to plug it back to me once again in sparring argentina, furshly, providing a brute assessed for melina, again, scoring the 2nd goal for the penalty spot back, go making it argentina all time leading scorer. atwell caps alongside to great gabriella. about this through to about credit to the dodge 2 light light goals for about a very cold sending a match into extra time. i went back to finish goal. i went on to penalty, shirts out argentina. don't keep ariano martinez, making some sensational studies in that shootout to help center, sorry into this are be finals. you started off when everyone was saying was messy. you know, we know where he has multiple might in the much performance is absolutely incredible . you must be very, very happy right now. are real worried or ren holler going back at the end. yeah, there was a lot of drama there. yes, there was real close. but the bought the it may, it made it good for us at the end. but the balance is less than that.

oh, good. our dreams. every far over 3 argentina and brazil. about berlin, all bessy history of a fastball count for his country. still very much alive. ronald, pop out al jazeera, either the federal stadium and go home. and that was also plenty of drama to education city stadium as croatia beat the torment favorites. a brazil the closest either side came at 2 gall in 90 minutes. was brazil's attempt any in the 2nd half up by many tell, at the end of the 1st extra period present went ahead to, to near mom. that goal meant he became brazil, joint talk goal score equaling plays that 77. just as it looked like brazil through croatia got the equalizer after shot from bruno bit. gov. it was deflected in of martinos, a dramatic finish sending the match to penalty. shootout keeper, dominique neva cove, it say brazil 1st,

the 10th bio that he go through asia who got through the last round against japan or sport kicks as well schooled awful death penalties and it was all over when martinos missed the 4th penalty for brazil who asia taken it full 2 in the shootout . it's the 2nd time in a row that brazil have gone out at the quarter. final stage. a dramatic finish to a tense game at education at city stadium. joanna roscoe was watching the match for us. the sound the band maybe playing behind me, but it's not brazil dancing that way into the semi finals. it's croatia hot, stepping into the la, frustrated for sale, started line up all the way up until extra time when name all scored for brazil. his 77 goal equaling a record of health by pele, pack of h, equalized recreation, sending the matt into penalties, and it was great. i want it all to you with a brilliant performance for that goal paper dominate live convention. we're going

all the way to the final 2018 final so i was there we are going all the way. jeremy's. absolutely amazing. yeah. the garage? yeah. show the whole of how the by the let me tell you we give them less on the football. yeah. i think it was amazing how the defense wasn't that they are, they also have penalties exact always. pendleton county. yes. they didn't give the lead that then, i mean i thought the shadow controller more and more on the more seniors there just just gave up the give when they were in front of the goalkeeper. so many times, instead of hitting like i would go up, they was just to hit the like a movie stops and this is not a move to start. a game is a what golf game. so what matters is the ball into their goal and not to how beautiful is the goal, is a very good team, as you saw, but on this, in this much, there were no chances, nothing, and they don't have the, the, and stick to. and so it's

a 2018 roundup probation that are going for but come back to the form on the well say one last time. that's bringing our football on this agenda. so let and one that iran go. wow. what a nice it was a night one. let's start with argentina. they're through to the semi's, but only just what do you think with their performance throughout the majority of the match. urgent tina just for the better team. let, let's, let's see how it was up to the 83rd minute. when would, but of course ends up making it to one, the dutch, it only shot once once just one shot, not even on target. once they make it to one, they make it to 2 and you start to see argentina starting to slip away a little bit. you start to see a team that dropped back that, that was very defensive. that was trying to hold on like they did against australia and seeing if they could get the same result. unfortunately, at that juncture, they did not, but then this stage of the tournament is about surviving and advancing. and that's

exactly what it would be. we'll martinez at the helm path. janet the sample boys won't be dancing through the night unfortunately. but do you think croatia deserve to win? yes, definitely. eh, games last a 100 than 20 minutes. sometimes that's about. they've managed door to door. they. they put them. it has to be extremely competitive because they have had to play extra time said to a knockout said just in a roll head counting that their key player is sadie at 37 years old. that's not something men are in the defensive line. a lot of the other has been absolutely a humongous his done absolutely. everything right. grading that their mascot, he's a new hero in co asia and no one got set counting on them. they. yeah, they, they haven't been playing maybe really and but extremely efficiency. so yeah, i think they have the sort of at that. so that what do you think this is the last woke up felina. messy. do you think argentina can go all the way they have a chance? but it seems like, like sometimes warriors have to go in, in vanquished demons of the past and mess he's been able to do that throughout this,

this linux galani error. he has to go and vanquish another one because remember, 4 years ago, this same gracious i came in just absolutely walloped argentina and left them in a very, very difficult situation. i think they can do it. they are in a, in actually a momentum of focus. he then say they have leon, l messy, the hero that has these fresh shared blood is sahalina very as say con with the skull keeper and the will martinez. he done everything right. so i think they will arrive with that energy to that. semi final is going to be extremely tough because gratia, they will put the fight than a good be a complicated, but this could be for him for low, messy della one. thank you very much for that. while the call to final action continues on saturday, the surprise package of cut out 2022 morocco face portugal at 15 a g m t at alpha mama said him and it's followed at 19 g m t by england's a class with defending champions, france at i'll bait stadium so plenty to look forward to hearing katara and

our team will have it all covered right here on our da 0. now them on known as the merchant of death is back in russia or off for a prisoner swap and already taking a swipe. but his country's enemies convicted arms de la victor boot has given his 1st interview to state media, accusing the west of trying to destroy russia alhashan report from moscow. it took months of secret diplomatic negotiations, but in the end, one of america's most wanted men returned to russia. if free man, he was released from a u. s. facility as part of a prisoner exchange with american basketballs thought. brittany greiner, who had been detained and russia, russian alms dealer victor booth, was called the merchant of death and spent 14 years in the u. s. prison. you are

sentenced to 25. i knew that in russia, the mood was jubilant towards boots returned home. media outlets celebrated the big deal as it was described in one of the leading newspapers, while boots sat down with the countries international brought gusta voice, 1st interview. since his release up what should the west believes that that didn't self in 9090 when the soviet union began to disintegrate? and the fact that we are now trying to live and not depend on any one to be a truly independent power. this of course, is such shocking news for them. they believe that they can destroy us again and divide russia. president vladimir putin welcome boots release, saying he'd be open to similar deals with the united states was mostly there are other exchange as possible. so if everything is possible, this is the result of negotiation that and the search for compromises. in this case, compromises were found. we do not refuse to continue this work in the future. once

a military translator, during the soviet era booth became a war profiteer after the collapse of the union is often but ation as an army de la extended from parts of africa. what he was base to several areas around the world. he was arrested in silent in 2008 while negotiating and on the with us agents posing as colombian fark. that those must go see is that it is of route as a symbolic achievement. and the times a for president who would want to emphasize to his public that he cares for his national even those robbie, god, the as hopeless cases in prison. and that he would please any option. it's unlikely brutal as you have any public role anytime soon. but some believe his letter could be used by moscow to add pressure on the u. s. and its allies in a time of war. i would agree that they really wanted him. they've been pressing for

his release or exchange for the past 10 years since his conviction. i mean, it's hard to believe that he didn't have extensive ties where the russian national security community, i mean, he was operating one, the largest fleets of military aircraft, transporting helicopter. and are really heavy weapons from app to africa. latin america, asian officials, he say, boots release one to me than improvement in relations with washington. but it shows the 2 nations can still keep the lines of communication open even if they're in direct shooting at each other. in ukraine, the actual jazeera, more school for a short break here. now, when you come back custom name, it says she's leaving the democratic party, which could you, is the majority in the us senate. so that's going to accept to legalize prostitution. but critics say it'll boost organized crime more than

a anticipation is rising. and so with the atmosphere, you read the votes of my cattle ways. hi there. good to see. we're going to be in the thick of a tropical cyclone on saturday, south of janai. that's where the worst of it will be. $100.00 millimeters of rain and the winds around this scene up to 100 kilometers per hour actually wouldn't be surprised. frankly, if we see pockets of about 200 millimeters of rain, the rain will also stream into entrepreneur dash and car nashika over the course of the weekend. after the philippines, we go in some severe flood advisories have popped up around sebo city. and with this band of rain moving north up the philippines, i suspect we'll see some more crop up around manila in the days. come next, stop. let's go to indonesia. malaysia getting pelted with rain for the top end of sumatra. you know, not too far away in poland, pour over the past 24 hours,

200 millimeters of rain scooped up. so that gives you an idea of just how much rain is falling in that area. get some rain over the yellow sea. gloomy conditions may see the odd shower in shanghai with a hive, 13 degrees on saturday, and it is still snowing for the western side of her car. it's been some heavy snow . add in some blustery winds as well, and that's knocked down the visibility and we'll end this weather report and pockets thought still dealing with some poor air quality. and we've got snow up in the foothills of the himalayas. su later, have a good weekend the weather sponsored by catch all. the mama pricing is then ah, pita movements that takes place in kenya. ponding up a gas, a british demanding return of their lives, nearly d, cuz if i document showing the lights on pre since colonial past, there is systematic torture of reign of terror in these count and major human

rights abuses. how was this happening? a very british way of torture you want to donate to deny on al jazeera. ah, ah ah, welcome back. a comment about top stories here. this our argentina through to the semi finals of the will cut off for tense victory of the netherlands and a penalty shootout. it was to walk the extra time on argentine, they will now face croatia and the last 4 off. they knocked out another south american heavyweight felicia between brazil also, and they tend to shoot out after it is one all of the end of extra time. and russian president vladimir putin says future prisoner swaps with united states all

possible arms due to victor. boot is back in russia after the u. s. released to an exchange for basketball player brittany grandmother, who is accused the west of trying to destroy russian. well, the u. s. basketball stars health is being evaluated at a military hospital in texas. particle haine has more from washington dc on the continuing debate surrounding her release. president joe biden, getting a lot of criticism, mostly from republican politicians and also conservative media. and it's pretty twofold. one. they say that this makes light russian president vladimir putin look strong. and joe biden look week and the reason for that is the white house was pretty open about what they wanted, the swap to look like. they wanted brittany greiner paul wheel and in exchange for victor boot obviously really didn't come home. so a little back story on why real and is in a russian prison i. he was in his hotel room. he said he went there for a friends. what in forces came in, they said they found a bunch of classified information on a hard drive for his part. wayland says that

a russian friend had given him that hard drive and told him it was filled, filled with holiday photo. so he believes he was set up, but in 2020 he was sentenced to 16 years in prison. an espionage charges. another part of the criticism that by his getting is that he brought home a basketball player and left a us marine behind. now it is true that we'll and served in military several tours in iraq, but he was discharged this honorably. there is mark fogel. he was convicted of bringing half an ounce of marijuana. he's been sentenced to 14 years. so those are the 2 americans that the white house says they still want to get out of out of russia. the question is, what do they have to trade with? but it does seem clear that both sides are going to continue talking. although after this experience, it's likely from the white house, it's going to be a much quieter conversation away from the public view. a prominent russian

opposition figure has been jail for 8 and a half years for allegedly spreading fake news about the military. the charges against l. yes. relate to a youtube video in which he talked about ukrainians being killed in the town of boucher. he was arrested last july. yashimi is one of the few criminal critics to have remained in russia following its invasion of ukraine and a crackdown on dissenting voices. the un security council as met to hear accusations from russia that weapons applied to ukraine and ended up in the hands of criminal guns. but moscow facing allegations from the u. k. ambassador to the u . n. the cremeans, buying drones from iran and north korea. kristen salumi has more from the us, russia called the security council meeting and tending to highlight the risk of weapons being supplied to ukraine, falling into the hands of terrorist groups of non state actors. russia's ambassador vaseline ban zia alleges, it's already happening, not only in europe, but also in the middle east and africa. but before the meeting even started,

the united kingdom accused russia of trying to purchase weapons from iran and north korea in violation of international agreements. ambassador barbara woodward pointed to iranian drones that have been shot down in ukraine. russia is now attempting to obtain more weapons, including hundreds of ballistic missiles in return in return. russia is offering iran, an unprecedented level of military and technical support. russia denied any deals with iran rescue because pollutants growth, the military industrial complex in russia can work perfectly fine. it doesn't need any one's assistance, whereas the ukrainian military industry does not basically exist and is being assisted by the western industry and western companies. so the united states,

the largest supplier weapons to ukraine, said they had no evidence that their weapons were being diverted, and they, and other nato aligned countries promised to continue supporting ukraine. protests of continued in peru, 2 days after the arrest of impeached president pedro castillo, the former leaders, supporters are demanding his release, and of held rallies across the country. castillo was detained and removed from power on wednesday, after attempting to shut down congress and rule by decree, is now facing charges of rebellion and conspiracy. the root new president, dean of lottie, was sworn in shortly after castillo removal, but demonstrates, according to elections. i know the only thing that stays is the people, nothing more. we don't have authorities, we have nothing. it's a national embarrassment. all these corrupt congress representatives have sold themselves, betraying our president pedro castillo. he is not a communist. he is not corrupt. i'm here for new elections if the president is

leaving than everyone should go. let's recall to elections because the president is elected by the popular votes. you, as democrats are thinking on to their fragile control of the senate after a sitting sen announced plans to leave the party. arizona's kirsten sonoma has decided to register as an independent sion. she says she no longer wishes to participate in the bipartisan structure. the u. s. government comes up, the democrats lost control of the house of representatives in the mid term elections in chief jabber chancey as more from washington, dc about the white house as it doesn't expect the balance deposit change next year . and the senate democrats will retain a 5149 majority, only just achieved this week with the georgia center run off cinema herself. characteristically, didn't explicitly say that she would be caucusing with the democrats, but she didn't say she didn't expect things to change day to day. but what this does do is give the democrats a dilemma moving into 2024. so that was an unpopular figure in the policy. she was

expected to be primaried by a challenge because she's seen as having stood in the way of key elements of job vikings, legislative agenda, for example. she was standing in the way of ending tax loopholes for wall street bank as well. she herself was accepting corporate donations from wall street. now, she avoids the primary challenge. the democrats have to decide whether to put up their own confidence in 2044. if cinema, rums and wrists missing the votes and along the republicans haiti's facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis with widespread food insecurity, gang violence and growing cholera outbreak. the un says cases are on the rise, close to 12000 people have been hospitalized since the beginning of october, 293 people have died. you ends asking for more financial support as case of spread to more and more part of the country. we have also close to more than 30 in $14000.00 and now as suspected cases of cholera throughout the country. and what we

are seeing, in fact, is not only the continued increase of cholera cases, but also the spread to the regions. and there is now in 8 of the 10 departments that are confirmed cholera cases, and this is a wearing trend for us and for the country to senegal. now where gender based violence is in the spotlight after a recent brawl in parliament, we saw a female m. p being slapped and kicked by another politician. the fight broke out while a global activism campaign to end violence against women was underway. nicholas hawk. as mona decor, a routine parliamentary session descends into violence. a member of parliament slaps and kicks one of his colleagues. the woman was pregnant and has since miscarried, even so some politicians say she deserved the beating lincoln. i saw velma. this is from she started it, i understand but impede that he to he insulted his religious eda that i disapprove

of what happened. deborah charges have been laid against the offending m p. but despite robust new laws to protect women and girls in senegal, research shows 68 percent of women victims of such crimes. never speak out. it took on my bang 19 years to summon up the courage to bring an end to her marriage and the daily blows that came with living with her husband. he would beat her unconscious, hitting her so hard that he damaged the nerves at the base of her skull, leaving her blind in the right eye. and bang eventually left him an approach to the police. but he continues to threaten her falcon mouth after of a girl. it's painful, it really hurts that he is still free. after everything he has done, he continues to harass me and goes looking for me. but i want to know if my life her closest relatives knew about the violence, but did nothing to stop it according to the un. when in 3 women worldwide experienced sexual or domestic violence. yes, yes sir. you see,

i said less of the rising number cases is linked to fear of denouncing such accent . so to the level of negligence and normalization of domestic violence, it is certainly the case in the household and beyond. glad to lead the brawl in parliament has parked a national conversation about the treatment of women. it's not the only case in the public spotlight. we're outside the main court house in the car where we spend sancho the main on position leader, a standing trial for rape. look at the headlines. it says she is finally ready. the moment she has been waiting for this one. the sweet and beautiful duel. there is an undertone of sexism where the owners is on the women to prove her innocence, rather than on the man. few women are willing to come forward. many of those who do are still afraid, but defiant, rebuilding their lives. one step at

a time. nicholas hawk al jazeera de car, china's bracing for a spike in cove at 19, in the sections after the government relaxed restrictions falling widespread protests under the new rules. infectious cases with mild symptoms are allowed to quarantine at home and health status checks on mobile apps have been removed. current bars cases are already on the rise in china, including in woo hand, where the 1st cases of the virus were detected. authorities are urging people to remain vigilant and continued testing for so long i had been actually, the opening up of beaching has been quite fast. and now with the end of the year, fast approaching about the easing of covey policies will mean many people will be able to go home for the new year because many haven't been able to in the last 3 years, a team of 1st nations, people in australia is working with scientists and a restoration project on the great barrier reef. the custodians of the coastline are sharing 60000 years of traditional experience with researchers using new

technologies to accelerate color growth. so o'clock reports from far north queensland it's an annual natural phenomenon when millions of carls across the great barrier reef released bundles of eggs and spoon in a mass spawning event. researches capture some of those bundles and read them in a floating nursery as part of a carl regeneration project. it allows us to put those baby corals after a week of development back down where they're needed. most are neighboring reefs that are struggling. it's one of several reef restoration initiatives being child in a collaborative program. the teams identified degraded, reefs, and try to kick start the recovery process. what's different about this project is that 1st nations ranges are working side by side with scientists, sharing knowledge handed down over generations. we have this generation connection with the gripe, our roof, and its armor symbolic. so whatever happens to read happens to us. whatever happens,

ross, absolute 3 results will. your indigenous ranges are also working with 2 groups. cheering lessons from the ancestors through storytelling. i met so many people out there i working here at mann about i think it's nearly coming on to succeed nozzles . about 15 years old. very actually die original people out connection with the guy barry. we knew obviously the aboriginals, the families that connections the land oversee that they have um and how they tell the stories. but we never knew about the the he climate change from psych loans to warmer waters, driven in part by rising greenhouse gas emissions has devastated some of the 3000 coral reefs that make up the unesco world heritage site. this team is trying to buy time for the great barrier reef by combining ancient knowledge with new technology . there are at least 70 traditional owner groups along the great barrier reef. not every one of them is involved in risk management,

but it's hoped over the next 10 years. these conservation projects can be scaled up to include more ganges artists are also came to share this skill sets. it's a really unique partnership to work across different groups like this. it really hasn't been done in this way before. and i think there's an object opportunity with this project to bring it up and down the great barrier reef in this different catchment. the team has released 30000000 co lava since the project began 3 years ago. it's a small step, but one in the right direction for a reef the united nation says is in danger. sarah, clock out a 0 cans. ah . took a picture of the headlines here on al jazeera argentina through to the woke up, so it follows off to a tense victory of the netherlands and a penalty shootout with tool lot. the extra time argentina will now face croatia in the last 4 of the been knocked out another south american john.
