i think we've lost our connection with with couple. yeah, we have. i'm going to leave that now. that was amazing. con my mind at telling us about the latest on the events that and couple enough going to start. now the u. k . government is set to hold an emergency meeting to discuss contingency plans for a wave of strikes. workers across the pay de monte pay rises to keep up with the soaring cost of living. the disruption is expected to affect several sectors over the december holiday period. at postal worker strikes have been ongoing and will continue for 2 days this week as well as the 2 days before christmas. workers with the r m t union, which includes train drivers and cleaners, and will be on strike nearly every day from december, the 13th until december, the 27th severely affecting christmas travel plans. also affecting holiday travel, a walk out by board of force employees at major airports including heathrow and

travel through airports and board of board of stop going on strike sectors, big and small bus drivers, driving instructors all the way to nurses. as you mentioned there, the nursing unit going on strike later this week for the 1st time in its history and paramedics going on strike next week. and i'm standing outside the headquarters of the london ambulance service here. and more strikes, potentially coming in 2023 with val, it's yet to be concluded likely to include firefighters, teachers midwives, junior doctors, as well as the london underground staff is huge. rolling sequences to this, i would like to buy some do a full general psych strike and coming at a crucial time. not just the course because it's christmas because it's winter, when many of these sectors are needed most, but piling pressure on the government at the time of record high inflation. a cost of living emergency underway forcing many of the force and the most poorly paid further into poverty. yes. a major disruption at

a very challenging time in terms of the major battle lines with one of the union saying, and i was double responding. what will the trades union congress, the umbrella organization, the t u. c puts it all down to what it describes as work is being pushed to breaking point. it says by years of pe austerity, particularly 12 years, the last 12 years of pe austerity and the conservative party government leading to the longest, real wage squeeze it says over 200 years. that's real wages going down as a function of inflation going up and pay not keeping pace with inflation. so that 2022 says the t u. c has been the worst year for real wage growth in almost 50 years. nurses, for example, around $2200.00 a year, worse or worse than they were last year. paramedics nearly $3000.00 worth of this year than they were last year. what's the government saying? what is holding it?

ground? very much. refusing to support negotiations for better pay offers. if he's warning that higher pay to probably the public sector will only fuel inflation and it warns that it will lead to tax rises for members of the public. in due course, the government is preparing contingency plans, potentially to draw the army in to man, board of posts to dr. ambulances like lees, if required. and ultimately, of course, it is a sort of battle of attrition. who can afford to outlast the other? who will blink 1st in this series of strikes? very likely, as i said, to go well into 2023. yeah. challenging times this christmas in britain. jo, thanks for the the welcome. semifinals will kicked off with a new official much ball. it's called l. hill, which translates from our because the dream, it replaces the current pool,

the u. s. department of energy is expected to make a major announcement about creating clean energy by using nuclear fusion. u. s. b did say that for the 1st time, scientists in california have created more energy than they have used in the process. fusion has been claimed as the holy grail of clean energy, which uses little radioactive waste, no greenhouse gases, and makes a whole lot of electricity. fusion works by fusing it to atomic nuclei. scientists and california have been firing powerful lasers at a hydrogen pilot until a fusion reaction occurs and releases energy san to say one small cup of hydrogen fuel is enough to power house hundreds of years. a rough l, her she is a professor of nuclear astrophysics at keel university in the okay. he says the nuclear fusion nuclear fusion is a key asset to renewable energy resources. and this is critical. i mean,

one of the major changes on the fusion. it has to take place at a high temperatures, you know, probably in the sun that the new fusion is what power the sun does. so at 50000000 degrees. so in order to start the fusion process, we must reach such high temperatures to be able to enable the nuclear reactions. a fusion is basically taking small nuclei, choosing them or merging them together, producing energy, whereas nuclear fission destroys a very large nuclei into smaller fragments. and didn't small fragments have too much neutrons that makes them radioactive. and therefore, hard to store and how to deal with. whereas fusion does not have create those radioactive way, so it's much cleaner. we are producing nuclear engine. i think it will require a large investment from international community governments, private groups funding agency. but in couple of decatur, when things are ready, it will be more productive than you fissions. so it will be

that croatia played about 20 degrees celsius the day after the same time in the evening morocco overt his front a little bit warmer. in fact, that is generally the trend from whence they almost tempt his ally to go slide. yeah, we end up assisting 27 by they still not that will move and eyes about 17 round about dawn. thanks rob. still ahead here in the usa, we'll take a deep dive into football history and plenty more coming up in our special book of coverage with jim ah, very thoughts look on and public confrontation, young people across the u. k, a pissing their bodies on the line to force attention on the issues that matter to that climate change is a symptom of the system breaking down when every other route fails, die with action was the last open for democratic society or one that allow for there to be debate,

t argentina. shut down with croatia, features to the game. great snail nessie and luke lot rich, both looking to win the title for the 1st time. and what will most likely be the last wild kathy's heightened lead argentina to the 3rd title in person since 1986, 35 wrote one alan pitt goes and the corporate america is yet to win the big one as the budget. he's on his 1st major international high school learn vestige has more from zagreb, not many people in their lifetime coming from nations, the town less than 4000000 people can brag of being able to see their well seemed gaining semi finals in the world cut now creation managed to do it for the 1st time, back in 1998 when they qualified for the world cup in france for the 1st time ever . and they won bronze medal in the group phase, back in 1998. they played argentina and last one nil in a game of no importance for gracious since they already reached the final 164 years

ago. also in the group stage, greater phase argentina, winning no less than 3 nil. reach into semi's once again and losing to france in the finals. 3rd times a charm. it's what all creation fans think. this might be destiny. a unique chance to go all the way after beating brazil 5 times will champion everybody, things sergeant, the new stuff. but they believe linelle messy will be once again denied by much celebrant savage, who did a great job. 4 years ago was left with our leech manager of gratian. football team said, we don't play football to look pretty football. is in figure skating. because once you reach the knockout phase, winning is all that counts. all right, football is in figure skating. fair enough firm. but you know what? watching luca moderate sometimes is better than figure skating. as is watching the anal macy to great number teens. we've seen them as rivals had real madrid in barcelona or go toe to toe to morrow, who's gonna be the last man standing well based on the peer words and all the magic

they can do. yeah, you can, you can absolutely be hypnotized, but they can do as far as their footballing skill. but i would say by a hair because they want to play. they want to go after each other. in a football sense. i'll take argentina by a whisker, just by a whisk. say i expect to listen to the occasion. yes or in the lead up to this tournament? not many people gave krasier chance. they talked about an aging squaws or how they managed to get this far was been a secret hidden agent for the last 4 years. i mean, you heard in, in russia as well that this is an old diem, they're not gonna be able to pass next rounds in the yes they did. ah. if you look at argentina as well, it's a young her side that that's kind of had a, a face lift of sorts. but of that line of that face crucial 4 years ago, there still 4 players that were part of the starting lineup. and one of all, we reinserted nico talerico, so as far as the age factor, i don't think that's much of a factor at all because a lot of the youngster, for course, i've really been able to pitch in a very positive manner. croatia very defensive, very well organized,

difficult to break down how argentine are going to do that tomorrow night. it was interesting to hear the technical study group today in their press conference. zirconium, in part, says that the way that they play their blocks is, is very similar because they found a way to kind of use a hybrid manner in order to press, but also to not let little messy and look a moderate, not get involved all the time. therefore, giving them a break, a breather, and also helping them find spaces to be able to create. and that's been so key for both to really excel at this at this term. so from a defensive standpoint, both teams have been rather solid, but it's going to be the mid fields for both that are going to be key, who, which were the to mid field that i know i said that it sounds a bit trite, but to tomorrow is going to be true, test of which midfield has to be superior to be able to get to the final. let's focus on the other sunny fine. okay. take on that front, sat out late on wednesday broke i, his 8. he conceded, one goal in the tournament. and that was an angle, as in cat recall,

it's on the casablanca, the next animation is that, that has now have a new hearing. we're in downtown casablanca and the old medina in the ra hall, football club, and over 50 young players have turned professional, playing in an empty demoss, a or in the european league. and most of him as strikers are made fielders. but since the success of the american national squad, many of them want to become goalkeepers. because yes, in bruno, the goalkeeper of the moroccan squad started playing right here on a feel like this one in casablanca. he's known here as spider man because he creates an impenetrable web that can stop any attacks. he's can see the only one goal since the beginning of the world cup. and it, there's a feeling here that he will stop the french attack and make history so that morocco can move forward to the next round. ok, francis is maroka,

has all kinds of colonial undertones to it. so joining us now live from new york is university of virginia, professor long dubois, he's all through the book, soccer empire, the world cup and the future of france. lawn. thank you very much for joining us. whenever an african team meets a former colonial power, they awesome obvious talking points that pop up. how determined would the moroccans be to put one over the french this is going to be a huge game for morocco. obviously, 1st of all, the 1st african team to even make it into a semi final. and at this point, i think many hopes around the world for kind of some kind of upset lie on them. they have been a magnificent team through this tournament. and what's interesting, of course, is that many of them have also backgrounds, playing in france or in many cases have, in some cases have grown up in france. and many of the french players are, have grown up in france, but also from often african backgrounds. so you actually have this kind of confrontation almost between different parts of this french sort of post colonial world, and it will be a very powerful match to watch both historically and as

a sporting event, do you think that the desire to be the former colonizer is more intense with the fans than the players perhaps? i think i think so. i mean, i think in some ways the players probably have to focus really on the game at hand . and, you know, to go in with too many expectations and broader burdens might, might, might make it harder to play. i was struck in their games against spain and portugal, just how utterly focused this team was. obviously, i think they want to make a larger victory and, and the meaning is not lost on them. for the fans, of course, all over the world, this is really become a very, very significant run, a really historic one that i think, you know, people even a few about a week ago wouldn't have necessarily imagined. so that has, has awakened a lot among fans all over the world. and then from the other side of the debate, what sort of mindset would the french have going into a fixture of this nature? i think the death most difficult thing is to go in with humility and i think they will do that. actually the game against england was

a really tough one. and i think many people agree they easily could have lost that game. maybe even should, i should have lost that game. but there they are. now in the semi final, you know, they're the world cup champions. they have an incredibly deep and strong squad, but they will need to focus as well. this game could really go either way. i think it's going to be an incredibly hard for a fair learn to both. thank you for your time. appreciate it. thank you. now the will cap semifinals will kick off with a new official match bull. it's called all hill, which translates from arabic as the dream. it replaces the current bull. i'll rich law, which means the journey results. kaka, and spain's eco casias laid the presentation ceremony. the city of south then, of pakistan makes around it 2 thirds of the wilds, footballs he has a summer job. it with the story behind these crucial pieces of football equipment. more than 70 percent of worlds. footballs are made in sale, called $1000.00 plus factories. an inflatable rubber, bladder is created, inflated,

$3500000000.00 every year into the national economy. despite that manufacturing paris augustine has never qualified for the world cup. for many people in pakistan, the ball depicts did representation in the world cup. and some of these young players are hopeful that one day it is going to be them representing bog, his son in the football world, cup final game, augustine made footballs being used by faithful. it's a great honor for us that the whole world will be playing with our footballs. never the terraces cuz i feel really good because football is not very famous here, but now it's becoming popular in pakistan. gales, rossi, playing now charmer jerry down to 0 crutches. oakland, as peter told us, a name into a there's an evil for the semi final and the final, how unusual is that you? i never really seen something like that that, that you play with one ball and else under the semi finals it ends up being another

one. i was looking at in else tracy in the euro's, if ever happened. hope america definitely hasn't happened. and same thing in the asian coupler, so to me it's unprecedented as far as that's concerned. but, but it's gonna be interesting to see how the, how the feel for the ball you once you get accustomed to playing with the ball, you end up understanding and how it moves and how to hit it right now to have to completely adapt for a semi final, that's where i have my reservations now when it comes to the technological aspect of it. i'm all for technology knowing the problems that referees nowadays are having. and anything that can help out and off side, whether it's in or out though he's on that match between spain and japan. anything that helps the process, ext expedited, make it more, more, i should say, clear for the audience as well as for the referee to i'm all for it. sometimes before tournament in the past, certainly we've heard plays like david beckham probably 2002 would talk about the, the whip or the lack of work that he might get unable. we don't really hear those kinds of conversations anymore, which i think go, he was a happy about that. did it. is that a good thing at the,

i think not talking about the mall, i think is great. i mean, last time we had a conversation of that nature was back in 2010 with when, when they're using the job bologna and the way that it would move when it was hit in the awkward motions and, and how it would with that was one thing that really in their dominating conversation more than the football itself a lot of times. so i think that if you have a ball that's going to work properly, that's going to be for the best interest of the spectacle or i'm all for it. like i said before, i'll see how the fans can automate this naval, you know, with the skills of these i, what has professionals, you'd have to think it probably won't affect. and how much now is in the wild card . that kicked off almost at 100 years ago in your guy, just 8 countries have taken him. the chassis and the richardson takes a closer look at the history. if it was nice, famous competition will in between what she matches it. this will cut funds for the chance to learn about the children's history. this exhibition set up by faith in dough har. it takes you right back to the very 1st will cover, took place in uruguay, a knowing c, a c. on that occasion, just 13 teams took part since then. the vents has grown into being the biggest

single school competition in the world with a very famous trophy here on dress. tell us a little bit about yes, that's one of our highlights here at the exhibition in doha, during the world cup at the film festival. it's the jury may come at one part of that cup is indeed original. the other one is not as a tragic story behind it. actually. this was the 1st woke up trophy between 930 and 970. that trophy was stolen twice 1st time. right before the world cup. 66 in england. then a famous dog called pickles, founded again, we all know that story, and it was then stolen for a 2nd time in 1983 from the headquarters of the brazilian football association. and since then, never found again. we hope that at some point we can still find it for fingers crossed. but the, the truth is that is only directly. so down here,

a training shirt worn by am, are all the special player back from the 1962 world cup sellers that a little bit about this. that is by far, one more of the most beautiful and most popular objects that we have here in the exhibition it is from the only player who won the woke up 3 times. of course i'm talking about purely in this world cup. unfortunately, he got injured very early in the group stage, so he couldn't play the entire world cup. but yeah, i think her now at the, especially in these times we fondly think of of p lina and people come to see this beautiful object, the trucks. you talk from 60 to, well, the thing and i have when is, is every way, hey, that's a shirt wound by diego, marathon i just ahead of the 1986 world cup that the last time that argentina won the world title. and of course, they have the chance to win it again here in council. and let me take you over here to 1998 the 1st on the front swan the will title. they have the chance to create some more history at this will company coming under the 3rd scene after italy and

again, you as president joe biden has promised to prioritize efforts to strengthen ukraine's defenses. president made the comments during your phone call with your credit liter flow debates. lensky on sunday. president lensky treated that the leaders also discussed maintenance of ukraine's energy sector, which has been a target of russian attacks. where the governor of the land screeching says ukrainian forces have hit a hotel that was being used by mercenaries, russia's working group, and so high high, they says fighters were killed. the end of last in the town of kadijah. and like the group is a private military contractor and said to have close ties to the kremlin rushes invasion is forced thousands ukrainians to put the lives of holden defend the homes for which helen spoke with the group of antarctic scientists who have paused their research to fight on the front line. a frigid landscape of snow and ice, the natural habitat for a polar specialist. but this is keeps war scarred out the suburbs,

not the antarctic wilderness, elena, and our colleagues, should have been exploring this year. ukraine's national antarctic scientific center expedition was due to set off last february, till russia's invasion froze their dreams. instead, they've hung up the polo air and their lives have taken very different parts. some of our scientists operate in the indifferent kind of france. so some of them and, and bought some of them in the south. but the one group of the scientists form the old unit and they called themselves military pimpton. i believe it's a characteristically ukrainian flourish of humor to help see them through these dark times. they even have their own badge. you can see that it's been been in cossack style. he is angry by the way, this penguin battalion of arctic scientists is doing real fighting in some of the was toughest battles. the guys also on the,

on the somewhere near boston with again, this is for sure in bob, come back with his tough for bath motors. alena can see what the war is doing to friends and colleagues. she's known intimately for years. i see how he becomes old and older, and also he becomes sentimental when recent mental about motions, she like, she could start crying, watching some, some more fields or saying and, and what does it also important to start to said, i love you. i care about how much more than before you just love. march anchor is the antarctic centers technical director just out of a key of hospital following a close call and back move to the fighting. he described. there is a hellish coffin. he of pounding artillery and hand to hand combat the muzzle was initially be what we had a very difficult night battle. if i were stormed by 24 of them, they broke in from part of the building. we did not control. and the fighting was

at 5 or 6 meters grenades flying every one. shooting grenades fell just wanted a half meter from my head as i was in a pit under the stairs locked nicholas with fiddle with. for now we are just laugh . can't afford to think of what he be doing if russia hadn't attacked the r pulliam completely focused on the war, but i really wanted to emily ensure to return to a peaceful life again. i want to crate something, not at destroy a deal with it for now i have to destroy. unfortunately, alena is busy helping to. she's raising money and supplies food helmets, drones to send to the front lines. just things that might end up saving the lives of her colleagues, the story of ukraine's antarctic scientists and have a became the penguin legion of frontline warriors. crowdfunding is one of millions of civil transformations, everyday lives indefinitely put on hold. so they can help their country in its hour of need for each allen's al jazeera,

here for his new president deena buddha, to it says she will ask congress to bring the elections forward to april 2024. 2 people were killed on sunday during protest calling for her resignation and early elections demonstrate as rules are demanded. the release of for the president petrie castillo, he was impeached and detained. last week for ela, sanchez reports now from lima. while and protest have erupted in different parts of the country will protest is flashed with way of policing the center of the capital . on sunday, they blocked main street near congress. as the police brought them with tear gas, now brought us or say they won congress to be close. many of them are supporters of former president bill castillo and are demanding new election. leiber. i'm here to the man, the media release of our president, president and the closing of congress. in the,

in the city of the why less 2 people were killed. 18 and 15 year old. the regional governor there said that at least 30 people were wounded. protesters took over the airport, they destroyed parts of the landing strip and prevented nearly 50 people from leaving the airport premises, including police officers who remained hostages. protesters then burned the local police station. the governor of this region called up the mac has demanded the closing of congress and new elections. this happened, a social movement in that region had declared themselves in insurgency inside congress, buyers also erupt it as lawmakers were debating whether to suspend former president feels immunity. person in the you know what, they have sent her condolences to the families of the 2 youngsters dead in the protests and asked for comb, acquitted, or saying that there is police repression. and that precedent was the and the

interior minister must order the police to stop the use of force. china is easy, more covert 19 restrictions and moving further away from strict pandemic rules. paging says it will scrap a tracking up on tuesday. yeah. course travel history through uses phones signaling . if a person has been to high risk area, the government run up is monitored people's movements more than 2 years, or it's kimber has more now from hong kong. well, this is a really big deal for your average chinese citizen, because this app has been a cornerstone of china's efforts to try and stop the transmission of covey 19 over the last 2 years. it effectively has kept a record of exactly where you've gone and prevented you in many cases from being able to travel from one province to another, which has been especially a big deal for chinese families who are trying to reconnect over the lunar new year holidays. so those are coming in just around 6 weeks time at the end of january. and it could be the 1st time in almost 3 years that many families are going to be

able to get back together without any kind of cove at $900.00 hurdles. guessing in the way, so that's really how big a deal. this is your average tiny citizen. this app is being dismantled when effectively no longer be a requirement for people who are trying to move from one province to another. or in some cases, just go in and out of major cities like beijing, as part of a series of efforts from the government in recent days to basically dismantle their so called 0 cove, its strategy and try and open up society once again. the amount of things you can now do in daily life, in china and to a lesser extent, also here in hong kong, has now become much, much easier. this of course, comes after a very rare and even unprecedented set of protests calling for an end to these regulations on the street from the public. and in some cases, even calling for the resignation of president, she, jim ping this type of social pressure really unheard of in this modern age with the way that the communist party has been ruling china. but there are concerns that despite all of this opening up making life much easier. there are also concerns of

course, of what could be a spike in cove at 19 cases and potentially in depth and international health experts. a warning that china may not be prepared for this. the u. s. has been asking the question for decades, kind of returns the moon and explore beyond it. now they have a cautious answer. party going, sorry, splashed down. and this was the moment nasa new success a 1st step toward putting human back on the moon completed the latest chapter of nasa journey to the moon comes to a close. on november 16th, the artemus one rocket lifted off and lift off a volume is one. taking a journey deeper into space than ever before, coming within 120 kilometers of the moon. but the hardest part, getting the unmanned module back without burning up, it would re enter the atmosphere going $32.00 times the speed of sound. the heat surrounding it more than $2700.00 degrees celsius. we're going to do scientists

tried a new techniques to help with that and do a nominal maneuver. we're actually going to bounce off once. we have 3 fully inflated main shoots, the parachutes deployed and the u. s, navy was ready and able to retrieve the capsule and the tests inside. next up, they hope to have a crew complete with a woman. and a person of color make the journey in 2024. but the end goal is much bigger. getting astronaut on the moon, able to build a kind of way station for further exploration. that's why this is a defining de it is one that marks new technology, a whole new breed of astronaut. ah, a, a vision for the future. but big challenges remain before an american can step foot on the moon. the private company space x has to develop a kind of series of gas stations in space and build a lander. and there will likely be pressure from congress. these launches are

costing 8 times more that was forecast in all expected to cost more than $93000000000.00 until you actually look at the earth yourself through the window. still susan kurland, the youngest person and only the 2nd woman to pilot a spacecraft tells al jazeera that she believes the eventual payoff is worth to have. you pray for. i think the most important is we're inspiring, the, our, to miss generation. we're inspiring kids to wanna go into stem cells to want to shoot for the stars if you send. the landing coincided with the 50, the anniversary of the last time american was on the moon, leaving quite the impression high was growing on the 150 years later, scientists believe they are one step closer to making sure some day. soon someone can take a stroll on the lunar surface. again. patty, gl haine. al jazeera. seems like a be pretty see not. that's it for me,

mccloud. i'll be back in a couple minutes. i'll have another half hour. i'll use the oh yeah i yeah. they all ready for the 1300000 football fan. i mean only the beginning that equity line a make or break moment for synagogue. that's fine here. i can tell you that with my q and i got it. that was not. i do believe it went,

argentinians are feeling here in central when the side and here in the center of so you could only to be given. but thinking that south korea, with an opportunity for found to be creative and celebrate their t. o city, home to millions and debate drive out of the climate crisis. so t's have more space in school to do the radical things. pledge is made about smarter. green, a lower carbon 53. gentrification is a growing process of equality and displacement. but are these promised utopia for everyone or just to select all hail the planet looks at where the green cities can also be socially. just episode 5 on al jazeera and talk to al jazeera. we also do you believe that women of afghanistan was somehow abandoned by the international community? we listen, we are paying

a huge price for the war against terrorism as going on in some money. we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the stories that matter on al jazeera. we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter how you take it will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to years. ah the wrong hangs man linked to anti government protest. it is the 2nd execution in less than a week. ah . hello to clark, this is out 0 love to her also coming up. foreigners flee a hotel under attack and the afghan capital 21 people are taken to hospital and emergency may t of the u. k. is key workers go on strike over the cost of living.
