oh, what our dreams are? we find over 3 argentina, brazil, about berlin. all bessie history of a fastball top for his country, still very much alive. roll pop out al jazeera other the federal stadium, and go home. and that was also plenty of drama education city stadiums, croatia beat the torment favorites. a brazil the closest either side of it came to a goal in 90 minutes was brazil's attempt any in the 2nd half of by either really 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 is true, croatia got the equalizer after shot from bruno bit. gov. it was deflected in off martinos. a dramatic finish sending the match to penalty. shootout keeper, dominique nevuk will be saved brazil's 1st attend bio that he go. croatia who got

through the last round against japan or sport picks as well schooled awful death penalties and it was all over when martinos missed the 4th penalty for brazil who asia taken a 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 band maybe playing behind me, but it's not brazil dancing their way into the semi finals. it's croatia hot, stepping into the law. they frustrated for sales dos, started line up all the way up until extra time when name all scored for brazil. his 77th goal equaling a record of health by pal, a pack of h. equalized preparations, sending the match into penalties, and it was greater than one at 14. with really a 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 a lot of 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 keep the lead that then. i mean, i thought the shadow controller more and more on the more serious there just just gave up the give when they were in front of the goalkeeper. so many times instead of hitting like would go up. there was just to hit the like a movie stops and this is not the move to start. game is award golf game. so what matters is the ball into the 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 if the 2018 run that 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 the iran go. wow. what a nice it was, a nice one. let's start with argentina. they through to the sammy's, but only just what do you think with their performance throughout the majority, the match. urgent tina just for the better team. let, let's, let's say it 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 started to see argentina starting to slip away a little bit. you started as he had 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 they did with the will 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 her a 100 than 20 minutes. sometimes that's about, they managed door to door they, they prove themselves 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 said 37 years old. that's not something men are in the defensive line. a lot of them has been absolutely a humongous his done absolutely. everything right. grading that they're my sketches, a new hero in co asia and no one goes seconding 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's what do you think this is the last woke up fully anal. messy. do you think argentina can go all the way to have a chance? because it seems like, like sometimes warriors have to go in, vanquished demons of the past. and messy is been able to do that through this,

this linelle scholar nearer he has to go and vanquish another one. because remember, 4 years ago this same croatia side came and just absolutely walloped argentina and left them in a very, very difficult situation. i think they can do it. they are in a, in extremely momentum of focus. he then say they have leonel messy as the hero, but has these fresh shed blood is jacqueline alvarez, say con, with this goal keeper, and they will martinez. he don, everything. right. so i think they will arrive with that energy to that semi final . it's going to be extremely tough because gratia, they will put the fight, then it would be a complicated, but this could be for him for low, messy della one. thank you very much for that. while the call to find our action continues on saturday. the surprise package of cut out 2020 til morocco. phase portugal at 15 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 de 0. now the man known as the merchant of death is back in russia after a prisoner swap and already taking a swipe at his country's enemies convicted arms dealer. victor boot has given his 1st interview to state media, accusing the west of trying to destroy russia, alhashan reports from moscow. it took months of sick with diplomatic negotiations. what 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 in russia, russian alms de la victory booth, was called the merchant of death and spent 14 years in the u. s. prison,

you are sentenced to 25. i 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 country's international brought gusta voice, 1st interview. since his release up what should the west believes that that, and finish yourself in 990 when the soviet union begin to disintegrate? 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. 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 thailand in 2008 while negotiating and on the with us agents posing as colombian fox i bows. most see is that it is of route as a symbolic achievement. in the times the president got him put in would want to emphasize to his public that he cared for his national and even those robbie, god, the as hopeless cases in prison and that he won't leave any ocean. it's unlikely brutal as you have any public role anytime soon. but some believe his network could be used by moscow to add pressure on the u. s. and its allies in time of war. i would agree that they really wanted him. they've been pressing for his release or exchange for the past 10 year census 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 helicopters and, and are really heavy weapons from app for our latin america. asians, officials, yes, say boots, release one to me, that improvement and relations with washington. what it shows the 2 nations can still keep the lines of communication open even if they're in direct you shooting at each other in ukraine. the ash images here are more school time for a short break here now to 0. when we come back, russia has used those iranian drones to kill civilians. the u. k accuses rush of attempting to buy weapons from iran and north korea in violation of international law and customs. and emma says she's leaving the democratic party

which could reduce its been majority in the u. s. senate mon, that states ah, the anticipation is rising. and so is the atmosphere you read the with lots of my cattle aways. hi there, good to see you. 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 nasa car over the course of the weekend. after the philippines. we go in some severe flight advisories have popped up around sabu city. and with this band of rain moving north of the philippines, i suspect we'll see some more crop up around manila in the days. come next,

stop. let's go to indonesia and the lazy getting pelted with rain for the top end of sumatra. you know, not too far away in colon, poor 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. because 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, adding some blustery winds as well, and that's knocked on the visibility and we'll end this weather report and pakistan still dealing with some poor air quality. and we've got snow up in the foothills of the himalayas. few later have a good weekend the weather sponsored by catch all a with

them and talk to al, just seen a guy that was somehow abandoned by the international community. we listen, we have a huge price for the rural. i've been a terrorist. that's good morning for money. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on al jazeera. ah ah, welcome back. i took my mind about top stories here, this argentina through the world cup. so my final is off for tense picture of the netherlands and a penalty shoot out. it was tool to extra time. argentina. what now face croatia in the last 4, they knocked out another south american heavy weight price would be to brazil. also in a pedal to shoot out object, was wondering what the end of extra time and russian president vladimir putin says

. future prisoner swaps with the u. s. all possible obscene to victor booties back in rush after the u. s. rece 10 minutes. change of basketball. stop brittany grinder, boot has accused the west of trying to destroy russia. well, he was basketball, staus health is being check that a military hospital in texas practical. hank has more from washington on the debate surrounding her released 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 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. britney greiner paul whelan in exchange for victor boot obviously 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 friend's wedding forces came, and 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 as 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 jailed for 8 and a half years for allegedly spreading fake news about the military. the charges against alia russian relates to a youtube video in which he talks about ukrainians, been killed in the town of butcher. he was arrested last july nations, one of the few criminal critics of remained in russia following its invasion of ukraine, a crackdown on dissenting voices. russia says weapons supplied to ukraine and ended up with criminal gowns. it's made the accusations of the un security council, but the u. k. ambassador has counted that the kremlin is buying drones from iran and north korea. kristen soon he has more russia called the security council meeting, intending 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 bands via 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 a wrong, an unprecedented level of military and technical support. russia denied any deals with the wrong rescue because pollutants wrote the military industrial complex in russia can work perfectly fine. it doesn't need any once assistance, whereas the ukrainian military industry does not basically exist and is being assisted by the western industry and western companies. 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 have continued in peru 2 days after the arrest of impeach, president federal kasteel, the former leaders, supporters are demanding his release and upheld rallies across the country. castillo was detained and removed from par on wednesday, after attempting to shut down congress. and little by decree is now facing charges of rebellion and conspiracy. peruse new president deena below, artie was sworn in shortly after custio's removal demonstrators. a cooling for early elections. i know we 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

biden's 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 2024. if cinema, rums and risks lifting the votes and along the republicans in south africa, the government is planning to decriminalize sex work to help combat growing violence against women. if the change is backed by parliament, the justice ministry says sex workers will have access to say for working conditions. so africa has one of the world's highest rates of h i v infection and is facing a wave of violence against women. critics, a country that of de criminalized prostitution, have seen an increase in human trafficking. amanda bows is from spelling vos university. she says 6 trafficking is different to voluntary sex work. b, m one. 06, we're not prostitution. we used to work 6 work because we think of

i remember them all. we started the show. we couldn't get enough people to full an audience. and i thought was think it's good, that's how comedy is funny enough. i remember all my shows people do the want. tickets of everyone were empty seats on and then i can i look at this now? i don't take it for granted ever. every seat that has ever been filled to watch something that i'm doing, i always appreciate could i know the entity that sits behind. so thank you. and a team of 1st nations, people in australia as 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 researches using new technologies to accelerate coral growth. sara clark 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 on 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 ross, whatever happens. ross helps roof 3 results school. your indigenous ranges are also

working with 2 groups. cheering lessons from the ancestors through storytelling. i met so many people out there i work in here and span of about i think it's nearly coming on to 6 years now since i was about 15 years old. very actually di, original people i with national 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 city climate change from the sidelines 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 set. 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 lover since the project began 3 years ago. it's a small step, but one in the right direction for rafe. the united nation says is in danger, sir. clock out his era cans? ah tough. okay. check out the headlines here in al jazeera argentina through to the woke up semi finals after tense victory of the netherlands. my penalties shoot out . that was tool of the extra time. rob tucker has more from the south stadium. over the 10s of thousands of all the data proud there is much initially thing to be during the plug. leno mercy. once again in, sorry, argentina. firstly, providing a brief assist for melinda again story this.
