of this much. it's going to be an absolute classic of football. we've seen what cursor can do, you know, here at the woke up actually and 4 years ago in russia. they're not a site that can be pushed aside. but argentina, they have one job to do in this woke up when it for messy and those do everything possible to make sure that they typically are no messy to the final. and to do that they have to beat cursor. but crow, i sure are not pushovers 5 of their last 6 games in the knockout stages of the woke up in 2018 and here have gone to extra time. but i didn't in there one to show that you know, they're the team that can actually bid them in the 9 to minutes in this tournament . right, exactly. so they've gone to penalties the last 2 games. can they get away with their 3rd timing as sergeant tina? i think it's going to be very tough. it's going to be very tough and i didn't, you know, obviously have the return of demeria, you know, to full fitness. he adds a little bit of an edge, a, you know, when you look at side, they're attacking side. but caressa have already defeated
6:34 pm
a south american giant in brazil. so argentina will be trying to come out and say, you know, you know, we want to go to the final and i think that they have the quality to do that. but it will not be very easy for us and tina. okay, well, morocco take on france et al bates on wednesday in the 2nd send. the final broke. i've only conceded one goal in the tournament, and that was an own goal. as nicholas hack reports from casablanca, the next generation of football is now have a new hero. we're in downtown casablanca, in the old medina, in the ra hall, football club, and over 50 young players have turned professional playing in on p, demoss a or in the european league. and most of him as strikers are made fielders. but since the success of the moroccan 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
6:35 pm
creates an impenetrable web that can stop any attacks. you can see the only one gold 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. i should watch on see, give the moroccans in this one. i gave morocco a big chance. we've already seen what they can do. i guess europe and giants, they held crow. i said to go, let's draw in the group stage as the beaten spain, the be 10 for to go the be 10 belgium who were wrong. number 2 at the time the 2 sides met. so i think they've also shown that they have the quality, you know, to compete at the biggest stage in wild football. and they don't fear any names. we seen, you know, what they did against the portugal side that had, you know,
6:36 pm
chris general now though, so i think that going into that fixture, they to have a chance to beat front. and who knows, they could be the 1st african site to make it to the final walk up. right. and then they've had a lot of supports here. and catherine as well. it's been like a home world cup for them having it. it is a little home wildcat for them. first of all, everyone in the mid list is supporting them. but also now we've seen news from royal morocco. the national carrier is, you know, scheduling that t flights between casablanca and don't have to bring funds into the stadium. we've seen the impact that the fans had. i was at the point to go game and i can tell you what you go a playing, i know way fixture, they, they felt so out of place. and i think that's what the more can funds will be trying to bring that atmosphere against france. and boy, will it be a good fix it to watch? all right, just really quickly from speed england. what did you make of that performance in that game? i also felt that england lost the game, not necessarily that front, you know, came out and was out standing against england and but you have to respect them
6:37 pm
defending. sometimes they have killen but a and a lot of quality olivia 0. so i think that also, you know, will play a huge factor in that game against the marker. all right, so thank you. well, katherine has been under more scrutiny than any other host nation and former england defend gary neville says not all of it has been justified, never played too well cut for england. and now works is television pundit. he toll far smell that co hosts of the next world cup the u. s. i have some major issues to address. there's no doubt that ours been targeted more than any other country that have out the world cup. i don't believe south africa was targeted much all china with toxic revenue olympics. is much all russia. it's oxy rubbing the will cause it's ours. been like a lightning rod for people to come together. so i think actually part of it to me, i've been from the middle east, it's wednesday is, is football brought me to the middle east. there are some jury listening when you've covered the story for many, many years. but the majority of just jumps on the market in the last 6 months and
6:38 pm
started to highlight it. if we're going to highlight issues in parts of the world, we should highlight them wherever we go. we're intertwined with relationships and partnerships for the middle east. not happen for 20 years, so i'm struggling to understand a little bit why all of a sudden. there has been this sort of what would be the thing that we should of a woke up in the middle east. we should have relationships with guitar. we should have relationships with the middle east and countries. all families come just, that's not how it works. that's not always been the 20 is my life. we're up intake into football countries all over the world. well, you know, you said you've been coming here for 20 years while i've lived here for a long time. i have a deep connection to this country and i took it personally like a lot of the stuff that the u. k. media was saying, do you think that there are biases by the u. k. media, why don't understand this? how f one tallies, gulf energy, banking, finance, retail, the royal family and hall races. can all of relationships are the middle east,
6:39 pm
but football come, i don't. i'm not accepting that anymore. i'm not sitting there next football player . looked, playing football in different parts of the world for 20 years, is now being criticized for basically coming over here and compensating for the whole broadcast fee, football games. while everybody else in our country, most of the people that say most of the country can enjoy relationships with the middle east and far east in countries which have the same work system which of the same so of what would be beliefs? i'm sorry, i'm not accepting that it's always football players. next football players will have to sit that. and so obviously like the perfect challenges. the so obviously a lot, you know, with the fights for everybody, but politicians and all the people institutional positions don't. you can see is more of our media, more of the world's media comes over. every experience is the middle east experience is what happens over it. now it's sort of different than, than our country that look back and think about what our country can do better.
6:40 pm
what the middle east can do better, but should we have partnerships relationships with the middle east, with the fiery? we absolutely need to. we are politicians now a country you call people who are trying to come all the for a safe alive invaders. yet i would, i would means you're not country of focused heavily on what would be the problem with migrant workers over here. but the way in which we treat people who are trying to come over to our shores to work to actually see, refused to be the same, but it's terrible. so i'm, after the conversation is happening. i'm getting to the end of the children, albany, 3 weeks. i've taken a personal criticism myself and i'm willing to have this conversation continually for next wednesday is one thing. so sir, and i'm going to stop coming to the middle east. so you're talking about, you know, ok since the term it started, people that you work with are the u. k. media in general. do you think their preconceptions have changed since covering it or since the world cup has started? soon will i think some will change. definitely, you can feel it and some lives of made up position that they don't believe the will should be over here. and they'll not change. and but the conversations good top
6:41 pm
we're going to america for years time go laws, abortion, women's rights, state capital punishment in many states, racism in large parts of america. we should, we talk more about these things in football, but in every country in every country, not just in, not just in this country. and i think we've turned a blind eye for years ago to russia 4 years ago in russia and the blind eye to what was happening. and basically the side of all the compensate diving and gone too far . the other way. alcohol has been something that people have been talked about. it talked about a lot here. do you think the decision to not have it in and around the stadium because maybe me the atmosphere at the stadiums. a lot more family friendly. i don't think it was a problem with no, i'll call up. it's only a problem of the fact that it felt like a decision that was made too late. and that's the only decision i can think can be critical of the reality is, i don't think it's hard for the solomon in any way,
6:42 pm
shape or form. if i think that if anything, i've always felt really safe, go into the games. everyone's probably be really good atmosphere is i have to think probably sometimes you probably draw calico before going much probably feel better going to sober. so i think that's the only criticism i would have would be if you live in the delay making a decision. but in terms of the actual decision itself and how it happens, the stadium, it's always been fantastic from a football point of view in the atmosphere point of view. and what if you thought about the one city format? the players will absolutely love it. if you speak, the players know travelling, people said in america, and if you find that solomon that's got spelled out bits of funds traveling 345, i was potentially between games. we knock out games and the group games. it'll be tough for the players because you getting on the play after every game to fly, but he base. so the ones that he told him, the ones that the format was always going to work. the only thing i was worried about was, was traffic. that's been handled really well. i was worried
6:43 pm
a little bit about the concentration of fans, maybe some trouble like and that's not materialized. so the 2 things that we're concerned before the told me, which was a on the days or 3 things accommodation, a bit of trouble and traffic. i've been handled brilliantly generally during the tournament. are you, are you worried about? are you concerned about the changing to the 48 team format in 4 years? i think i'm worried about the 4800 format. that is how it works, how it so of bills and great participation for african teams. teams from different postulates, different parts of asia, i think was something that we've rocco will mean that people will say that an increase for me is probably something that's right. because i think infancy know will feel justified in his decision to expand the torment because he wants to try and create a greater world. caught robinson is more of a specific to teams on. however, we still have to make sure that football tournament itself is of high quality and not feel yet to approve him with a 48 teams on him. okay. who do you think it's going to make it to the final?
6:44 pm
i think, well, all predictions are out of the window in this order. yeah, i would say, i would think it will be arjun siena and france. that's what i think the final will be if i look at it on paper. but you'd probably be sure to predict that because it could easily be mocked morocco and gratian all creation from sober alco knowledge and seen it because you just feel now you just feel like an essay about a in the fi, like how you feel it's going to end up i'd be surprised if it didn't do an argentine you've got nastiness to them that you feel could get them over the line that was by that little spirit. and they've got great fan base over as well. well organized the tournament, say they're aiming for this to be the 1st carbon neutral well come in history. joining us now is micah corvalle or co founder of general c will to thank you very much for coming down to the cda micah, tell us about your company and how it's involved with the cattle. well cub, absolutely. so generosity is
6:45 pm
a sustainable water technology company that aims to move society away from single use plastic. and so we're using the world cup in partnership with supreme committee of legacy and delivery and theirs and their sustainability committee to build an infrastructure of re fillable stations. so that people can have confidence in fillable products. and so they've already launched a movement called one tight that has been in great success in partnership with the sheeka, my asa. and so we're just trying to help support that initiative and help bring some roof fillable solutions. and how is justin bieber involved in all of that? well, justin and i co founded the company. and so what's interesting about how we started is we were a plastic single use plastic company that we were building the brand in the u. s. and during coven, we made up for pivot into a re fillable infrastructure because we started to see
6:46 pm
a lot of the damage of what plastic and sing the use. plastics are doing her round the world to our environment, into our oceans. and so we, that hard pivot has really allowed us to be able to story tell the commitment to a re fillable infrastructure that people can count on. is there a way to use your technology in developing countries to help improve the water quality? the yeah, absolutely. i mean, everything is about water treatment and water pre treatment. and so what we're trying to do is instill confidence and to consumers that water has evolved and that we can engineer was or to be more efficient, mineral enhance and alkaline enhance water that will provide new trends to people in developing countries. and not just giving them just plain safe water, right? cuz you telling me earlier, it's about the quality of the water, not the quantity right after hydro ration. exactly, that's everything. so everything is where your sourcing of your mineral content
6:47 pm
comes in so that our bodies can properly absorb the mineral content to, to retain the water so that we're properly hydrated. so what are the long term goals to general? he will then what do you see is like your ultimate goal in terms this is yeah, let's see. so it starts with building an infrastructure over fillable products that consumers can have confidence in and build trust in, in using and changing their daily habits from maybe stopping at the convenience store or having a plastic bottle at home or having plastic bottle at your local restaurant well were wanting to do is establish an alternative to sing or use plastics. and with more and more infrastructure of re fillable options, people can have confidence leaving their homes with a re fillable bottle. and knowing that they can find a fillable station conveniently around dare, common routine of where they would go. yes. so basically you put your, placing those re fillable stations in people's way throughout the days that can
6:48 pm
refill. right, exactly, and that's great. and, and when it comes to the future, because he was that you were telling me earlier about the concerned with the amount of plastics that people are currently having. right? absolutely. well lanfield rates are, are hard crawling at a rapid rate. and instead of us bear bearing ourselves under our own trash, i think more and more companies that are taken initiatives to be able to track blaze and show that there are alternatives. and that convenience doesn't just have to harm our environment. that convenience can actually work in re fillable ways and in your everyday friends or your everyday routine of how you go about your life. all right, mike, can mike corvalle or thank you so much from general. see well, so thanks for explaining all of that to us. so thanks to you micah, and also for joining me. we'll have more in our next woke up special at 1830 chance 8. now it's back during in the studio. we'll see you then. so thank you so much. we'll still ahead on the news. our nasa is
6:49 pm
a step closer to sunday humans. back to the moon as the art of a spacecraft safely returns to earth. ah, there 50000 women in ukrainian military of which 10000 are on the front lines after russia bated ukraine in february there was an increase in women volunteering to join the military and ukraine. unlike men, women are not obliged to register for mandatory military service. but that could be changing very soon. ukraine is considering making military service mandatory for women with specific skills, but said a decision would not be made until next year. for now, there are enough female volunteers willing to join betty like 25 year old katya hewitt more than just a job. or i'm

a patriot of my country. i cannot sit on my hands and do nothing in a country fighting a war and training new soldiers, no matter what their gender. o a. hello again. the u. s. department of energy is expected to make a major announcement about creating clean energy by using nuclear fusion. us media say that for the 1st time, scientists in california have created more energy than they've used in the process . fusion has been claimed as the holy grail of clean energy. it produces little
6:51 pm
radioactive waste, no greenhouse gases, and it makes lots of electricity. a fusion works by fusing 2 atomic nuclei. scientists in california have been firing powerful lasers with a hydrogen pellet until a fusion reaction occurs. and then releases energy. and scientists say one small top of hydrogen fuel is enough to power a house for hundreds of years. referral, hurt, she is a professor of nuclear astrophysics, a chill university. he says the nuclear fusion is a key assets to renewable energy resources. this is critical. i mean, one of the major changes i'm nuclear fusion. it has to take place at very 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,
6:52 pm
producing energy, whereas the nuclear fission destroys a very large nuclei into small fragments and didn't small fragments have too much neutrons. that makes them radioactive. and therefore, hard to store on how to deal with, whereas fusion does not create those radioactive ways, so it's much cleaner. we are producing nuclear energy. i think it will require a large investment from international community in government, 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 a key. i've sent edition to renew when energy sources and really power the world going forward harmless and traitors. and i've gone astonished, struggling to find international buyers for their stuff from the space is a major source of income and farmers say output has increased significantly, but sales have been difficult since the taliban return to power last year. probably

$2000000.00 to the ear this month grew as hope the taliban government will do more to revive industries to uplift the struggling economy. pathname that obviously that nasa engineers have begun examining data from its 1st artemus moon mission. the ryan capsule splashed on on sunday. the on crude flight haves, the way for a manned mission to the moon as early as 2024 had a gl hang reports splashed down. and this was the moment nasa knew 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 left off of order. this was 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,
6:56 pm
it would re enter the atmosphere going $32.00 times the speed of sound, the heat surrounding it, the more than $2700.00 degrees celsius. we're going to do scientists tried a new techniques to help with that and do a nominal skipped maneuver will rest of the 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 day. 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
6:57 pm
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 were 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 hey off is worth the heavy price. april. i think the most important is we're inspiring, the, our, to miss generation. we're inspiring kids to wanna go in to stem fields to want to shoot for the stars. the landing coincided with the 50th anniversary of the last time an american was on the moon, leaving quite the impression i want to. 060 years later, scientists believe their one step closer to making sure some day soon someone can
