4:01 pm
cut favorites. argentina prepared to face croatia in the semi finals. we get the latest on the ground. indo ah, so you as president joe biden is attempting to count a growing chinese and russian influence in africa is invited dozens of african leaders to washington dc. it's a 3 day summit that china is a continent largest trading partner with goods worth $254000000000.00 exchange in 2021. chinese capital is funding roads, railway lines, and ports from kenya to nigeria from ghana to ethiopia. united states is also concerned by russia's growing influence on the continent. fights is from a private military company. the retina group are involved in the conflict and marley sudan and the such left republic. unless say, the kremlin is providing military muscle in countries whose governments are facing
4:02 pm
uprisings in exchange, russia gets access to oil, gold and minerals. moscow has also been accused of attempting to undermine democracy through propaganda and disinformation or kimbry. alcott joins us now live from outside the white house and has more say, kimberly, 1st up, but why is this happening now is and who's actually attending? yeah, well the guest list has been a bit of a secret and that has a lot to do with concerns by the white house that this could be a potential embarrassment. given the fact that you'll remember the summit of the americas back in june was an embarrassment for this white house when the leader of mexico chose not to attend the summit. well, the white house has learned since then to kind of keep the guest list close to his chest if you will, taking a phrase from card playing us so that this is released really at the last minute so that they can avoid some of that embarrassment in the lead up to the opening of the
4:03 pm
summit. so we've just kind of learned the gas list. and just the last few moments, the white house as of just about 12 hours ago was saying they were not releasing it . and that you had to contact the respective government. what we know now is that the leader of kenya will be in attendance, the president of zambia malawi, namby i, most of b d, r c nigeria. but we do know that 5 countries were not invited. we know that the white house is said burkina faso, molly guinea and sudan were excluded because the african union has suspended them over unconstitutional changes of government. and the u. s. has no relations with the price state of eritrea and self suit as president will send his foreign minister, ethiopian prime minister, likely to be represented by the nation's ceremonial president. now sir, ram a pose of will not be attending the african liter summit. the south african minister of international relations will lead the south african delegation to the
4:04 pm
summit. but again, this again has been very much a closely guarded secret. again, for the reasons that the white house really concerned that this could affect the attendance of others that may not choose to come if they know that there may be some that are not attending or we're not invited. reparative boncey act. so what are some of the top issues that will be discussed? well, the big influence or rather the real big issue for the white house and all of this in the reason the white house is holding. this is the one you mentioned, the top of the show, and that is influence. the white house is playing catch up here. the reason the white house wants to have this is because one of its main adversaries. china, is ahead of the game. a, china has a big footprint on the continent in africa, and the white house is quite keenly aware of this. and, well, the, you know, chinese are busy building infrastructure. i'm very much
4:05 pm
a part of the taking place in terms of the mining of resources and working with various governments. the united states does not have that same footprint in terms of those capabilities. and they know that and they don't have the same relationships. so what they're doing is trying to establish those relationships, but not only are they behind, but they haven't really kept up with the relationships they tried to establish some 8 years ago. if you recall this exactly what brock obama did back in 2014. and then it kind of fell by the wayside. so in many ways this is joe biden, trying to pick up where his administration, when he was the vice president left off before. but really, this is a lot to that many would say is too little too late. and may be too late to catch up, or i can be thinks about, can we talk about the white house? we're going to take this on. we're going to speak to observe senior miss glenn this morning sharma could see her as to what kimberly was saying. interesting that,
4:06 pm
you know, those not invited tells his own story. absolutely, and look, i think it's important to underline that. because the whole point of this particular summit is that the united states extending the african union. we are not trying to lecture, you know, more that we'd be treating you on the basis of mutual respect, mutual interests, and hence, we are here to listen not to talk at you. and that starts by respecting the african unions decision to freeze out a number of regimes that basically took power through a could the thought. and that's also important because it is consistent with americans. owen, democracy agenda that put democracy in human rights at the center of america. for policy, right. so i think this is important that those 4 players, los force walk players are not invited. right. and it's a different approach to china for example, is that, oh my god, is it different?
4:07 pm
because china, i want, i don't want to say encourages, but certainly doesn't care who it's dealing with. it could be a corrupt regime. it could be an undemocratic regime on authoritarian regime of blood, the regime. it doesn't matter though it's not that is that it's a state to state the relationship as explained by china. the problem here is that the africa, that african confidence suffers a lot from impoverishment under development and so on, so forth. and it's really important that there are any gains to be made for them to trickle down to those who need the most. but when there are corrupt regimes, when there's bad governance in this and that african country, that unfortunately this does not trickle down. and hence, there is more and more extreme is and there's more violence and there's more instability, right? and the u. s. is, is really playing catch up here. that is, kimberly was just talking about their unit in trumps time. everything went backwards at u. s. relations around the world receded, didn't then, especially on the continent of africa. absolutely. and you asked about the about
4:08 pm
what's on the agenda and i'll tell you some of the criticism already out is that i everything under the sun is on the agenda. meaning it has like a really open big diner menu where everything is there. and hence there are no a parent or clear priorities for the united states. so the question for us is not what's on the agenda. what is the priority of the united states at this point in time? and how would that help with to catch up with china? and thus, believe it or not is still not clear. the united states now says that there will be certain deliverables, but that they will not announced them until the summit actually ends fair enough that on us for the surprise, clearly they might have something in mind, but there's not sharing it with us. when i looked at the, the, the state department website like the department of defense, you would see the department of defense listing all the troubles, the rebels,
4:09 pm
the violence that security us or so forth. and then you see the state department saying we are going to work for africa because africa is going to be a leading voice, a leading power in the world. that sounds like a bit of a lofty language. if you need to see more, the details, the concrete aspect of it, what is washington exactly about to do with africa and how would it be different from that? right? it's it say in that sense, get can, in the u. s get a foot in the door because a lot of these countries, rudy, and they got side all these deals with, with china, with russia. so how can the u. s. persuade them to, to come on their side, you know, winston, who live in an american order of some sort. right? although there's a lot of multiple or, ah, powers now coming out and, and trying to prove themselves like china, european and others. but america as dominant power in the world, and it still has good will sh in africa, some 60 percent of african sport still believe that it's great to have relationship with united states because it's a power of good. whether it is, it's not the,
4:10 pm
it's beside the point, but that certainly the impression, and i think what 3 differentiates the united states from the likes of france, russia and china is that it still, theoretically speaking, attaches. it's aid and investment to good governance. that's important for africa because as i was saying earlier, for anything to be made, if as it goes, i gun a hot bargain hard with the and i say some china, at least some of that gain needs to trickle down. i think when the united states, it might not actually follow through and its promises, but at least you can hold them accountable. and hence, the idea is that good governance come with aids is a good thing. if it's implemented right, well it's a 3 day summit, so let's see how it all unfolds more and fantastic. thanks very much. the thank you . now as many as 100 people have been killed by flooding in can shut sir. the capital of the democratic republic of congo and made road collapse during heavy reigns on tuesday. 15000000 people live in the city on the congo river and many homes. a shanty houses built in the flood prone areas. the death toll is expected

4:14 pm
not an e u. energy ministers. it may seem brussels to finalize a cap on gas prices. the block has suffered huge spikes in energy bill since rushes invasion of ukraine, and is led to the biased inflation in decades. a year ago, europeans were paying nearly $95.00 euros per megawatt hour. their gas, but in august prices surged to record highs at almost 350 years. as russia began to reduce the amount it pumped into the block. prices have come back since then because of emergency measures in the e. u to conserve energy, and it's currently around a 140 years. what's being debated now is proposed from the e u commission to cap gas prices at $275.00 euros a megawatt hour if certain conditions are met. but that's divided e, you states some want that kat law while others don't want to capital and germany phase, it will disrupt the market. or i,
4:15 pm
let's at brian dominic cane who joins us now said debris on the face of it. you'd think it be a straightforward decision, but not so it scotty. all sorts of divisions. the interesting thing here is that we in the media had been told there was likely to be a news conference at the end of the deliberations and about what happened around 12 gmc laps come and gone. no sign of an agreement equally, no sign that they have failed to reach agreement. a source close to the council has told me that the deliberations will go on, and that is the hope miss. no more that i hope that will be some sort of resolution today. if you need to remember that this is not the only missing of you. ministers or e leaders is going to take place in brussels this week. there would be further opportunity on thursday of this week when the heads of government had some states war. member states will be here. and there is the possibility of
4:16 pm
a meeting on the 19th of december by the same energy ministers, but the sense coming from at least one source close to the council is that if there is going to be agreement, then it may well be today. but what that agreement will actually be composed of what it will comprise. well, that is perhaps more difficult. the key issue here is there is a sense that those countries who are resistant are moving that position more towards those who oppose them. and equally, those countries who was saying, you know, a very low cap, will them moving slightly to but the question is, what will they actually agree on? as i say, there are potential other days for this to carry on. but the sense is that there may be something that emerges today or direct. we'll see what happens so much. they don't came reporting that or me while ukraine is dealing with its own energy crisis . russian strikes have hit power infrastructure across the country. president
4:17 pm
vladimir zalinski is appealing for help to get through winter, and he spoken via video linked to an international aid conference in france. and let's bring in where we challenge standing by for us in cave, rory an international help of course has been key throughout this conflict bits. perhaps now more than ever ukrainians a understand or be proud of the way that they have for thought off rushes invasion . but they know that are the assistance obey they've had from international friends and allies, as has been pretty crucial in doing that. without that help, i think the position for ukraine in this war would be significantly weaker than, than it currently is. a couple of small examples. i was talking to a drone operator yesterday runs a, a company that supplies drones for the credit military. he was saying that yes, they got plenty of talented him engineers. but without the technical assistance
4:18 pm
from turkey and canada and other partners that they wouldn't really be as competitive as they are with a drone war against russia. similarly, ammunition show artillery shells. ukraine all almost ran out of its soviet era artillery shells. in the summer. they were raw, provided with more from international partners and gradually moved towards nato started kit. the help for the west is one of the main contingencies in this war and how it's gonna play out. so vladimir zalinski knows that he has to keep those taps are flowing, particularly going into the winter. every thermal power plants in this country has been damaged in recent russian air strikes. the country is sort of eking through winter, with people existing on, on, you know, a handful of hours of electricity every day. so what does it need? what zelinski asked me for staff to rebuild the energy grid, stuff like transformers generates as things to make the country more energy
4:19 pm
efficient, l e d lighting that kind of stuff. they want a sort of streamlined online platform for fulfillment to make sure that the things that you cry needs can be supplied quickly by as part as they need to 1000000000 cubic meters of gas to help with the gas deficit. and of course they need those weapons to keep on coming in. ukraine has long been asking for modern battle tanks has been asking for more modern rocket systems and missiles that have a longer range, something that the, that the west has been reluctant to, to give it a in, in recent months. but there are signs, but that is attitudes are changing, and there's the u. k. the u. s. for instance, might be starting to think about how those longer range missiles might be supplied . all right, that's a picture and give thanks rory. ah, she's a swell cup action. we'll see a semi final showdown between argentina in croatia. the matcher lucille stadium
4:20 pm
will pick 2 of the greatest players to wear and number 10, jersey gates each other. argentina's little messy in croatia. luca, but rich, both of course would be crown champion, be the 1st time for either or what's likely to be their final world cup appearance . her asia, which is a country of nearly 4000000 people, surprised world by reaching the world cup final in russia 4 years ago. and ahead of tuesdays much again, sergeant tina excitement is powerful in the capital as our grip. the bowl commission wants to get to the final again and make up their loss against france in 2018 season allotted to provide sure our table when and i a brave have a big hot and a lot of stream that in a balancing for today's much of course i will, cheerful crecia and i expect crecia to win to neil the bottom run oh the are so like research or chrome. i expect the full time to end in it's high and to go to penalty kicks, croatia, winning for to of course. what about the final will be croatia versus morocco?
4:21 pm
well, natasha is holding the well cup eaten dough hall's super. what fans are still holding out hope and searching for a ticket to lou sales stadium. the croatians are hoping for a 2nd world cup in a row. they will make it to the finals in 2018. they lost to france for a country of less than 4000000 people gained independence 31 years ago, the coaches said the team has accomplished something quote, miraculous by becoming a global force in football. we spoke to some corporations who arrived this morning . they're here for the day. one man told us he spent $2500.00 for his ticket. the old nation, it's already so prague are our team they. they did unbelievable thinks in the last the world drop. so whatever happened tonight's gonna be happy to, we are in the same is so but once when you come to send me a slips,
4:22 pm
make to slip more. i'm try to be on the top on the world. the energy of the argentinians has filled the soup streets and stadiums of cut are 20. 22. it's estimated about 50000 argentinian fans came here. there is now talk of argentina winning. perhaps it's 3rd world cup that has not happened since $986.00 last world cup front knocked hours and tina was it was a goal 1st. it was a really good game. i think it would be something magical for messy to. we know when that world cup for justine against france, the current champions, one of the things you'll be hearing in the stands is argentinian fans. chatty massey massey, the 35 year old argentinian star. leonor massey says this will be his final world cup. he's an a rarefied club of players who has played in 5 world cuts, but he has never gone home a winner. this is a legacy building moment for messy,

campaign was shocked to feet against saudi arabia. well to pay them, but you know we, we are expecting a very tough to match against the squad that is really put meaning to the word team, the croatian team. great group, a great team and we'll make our lives very hard. so it's another huge de filling on lassie theresa bo has more from one aside. argentina is completely paralyzed doing the world cup. there's excitement and there is hope that argentina has real chances to win the world cup. we're hearing the jeff yodi. this is a place where argentina's football legend, diego marelo and i was born. and this is also the place where he started playing football. there is lots of tried in argentine as national team. it is the one thing that unites all argentine and it is the one thing that makes argentinians proud. we've been talking to some of the people here in visa, beauty about the world cup,
4:34 pm
about the national team. alexander alone is an artist here in visa, 42, and he says that neil, my lorna was much more than a cooking. yoga thomas, any longer, any for another one or 2 steps away from celebrating again, it's been almost 40 years since we want to welcome people leave it very intensely. is the 1st one of our deal. camara, doyle, and generous lot of feelings for us that are hard to explain. i didn't think as our country, we're high poverty rates with inequality and these are 42 is not an exception. many of the footballers in this country come from poor areas such as this ones. many of the members of argentina, national team come from places such as this one where the football field do not have grass but soil just like the one that you can see. right here we've been talking to some of the children that live in this place, and they say that they would love to follow the steps of lunel, missy, of uncle,

4:36 pm
it appears i'll be more nervous than he will be. let's get more contacts on this game now with samantha johnson with little games are one and last often by the very finest of margins, the funded the margins, the greater the heartbreak for the loses brazil and benevolent would have daily wanted to have been playing in this game, but they were stopped by to penalty say even go. hi i'm samantha johnson. this is woke up one o one. so here we are. a 1st 2022 woke up semi final croatia made to the final in russia 4 years ago. watching tina have won the competition twice but to get here they have 2 men in particular to thank croatia is dominic liver, co, rich and argentina's. any lots net look all his penalties are a lottery,
4:37 pm
but martinez was little short of brilliant against the dutch and liver cove, which efforts not only kept them in the game against brazil, but in short, back 6 argentina. we'll be looking to martinez all the more now because 2 of the key defenders, 2 of them must don't determine players won't be there. console him until put so hot . he led to win the corporate america final last year. marcus ak unit is equally tough. he grew up playing bear 1st on stony grasses, patches of land, neither will appear against croatia. they picked up too many other cards that would encourage ligament rich, gracious captain, he's 37 now and this is likely to be his last wildcat watch out for bruno petrovitch striker who got them the door against brazil to force the penalty shoots out. but standing right opposite them will be couples magician lino, messy ecstatic fans, and around them will be argentine is huge, exuberant fan base. expect skill expect good. it met drama and above all expect an electric atmosphere. ah,
4:38 pm
well let's brand gemma in atlanta. now at nightline, i'll start with you messy and mod, ridge to greats of the game and likely to be their last chance at the world cup. glory, who do you believe will come out on talk tonight? pick them though, it's difficult to, to make predictions because we didn't expect to have cray shine semifinal, especially how they play the in the group soul and the motor, which is a resilient manny it bring the chima chill, the semi final. but i think missy has a big chance for this. woke up, he took the lead of his team, he took everything for, for him in his shoulders. and i really believe that missy, an argentine obviously will make to the final. ok. and you think more effective for their side to think messy argentina module for i think i should be there even. you know, missy missy has been the been scoring goals mortgage in this position help
4:39 pm
a lot. so i think the, the big figure in the team, and i think they will, there will be a big part for the next game. definitely generally had from that they never and father short time ago saying that all the dogs is everybody's been saying, the pressure is on, on tina. can they cope with that way of expectation. they have to they have no other option. i will then call on their dogs, they were the the runner ups in russia and they have been competing so well, it's true that it's a small country and no one probably was expecting them again on the semi finals and about dodge and you know, they are so used to have this pressure part of the history to times will champions for the, for having messy. and so yeah, i think they have that defeat on the opening game, but then they re convert that very effectively with this colonial being flexible. and he was mentioning, i think miss c, i would say it's more a game changer. and he's got that the special, the re look,
4:40 pm
i've been following him for over a decade. and i haven't seen that like killing many times. and i think he's coming in here and car, atlanta, argentina. we're on the, bring her against the netherlands. what do you think they learned in the last few minutes of packing thing? they've learned a lot because they were to tune up and they were controlling the game, even if it's netherland they they played well, but they didn't scold any goals during this 90 minutes. so they went to extra time . and i think the fact that this woke up, especially with question that the been until the extra time, and then i should show up in the won't the game. so be the hope not to repeat that because they know that crash. i independent financial shutout, they can do well. so i think this is where they have to learn from nibble and gambon to, to, to try to, to win the game before 90 minutes. because after the crash, they are very good in the, in the extra time in the can school and as well. and then a crisis coach says he expects the family to be on auto seen aside. and that will
4:41 pm
put his side out a disadvantage. how much effect will the crowd have on the match? i don't see it will have that much effect. probably not the same as we say. witness at the in, in the spain moral co game. we're absolutely 99.9 percent. where again to spain and in favor of maroka. of course there will be more, more fun based supporting argentina. but creation of team with a lot of experience they, they have witness situations like this before. so it's through the fun bases of energy. so moments, but i don't think it will be something that will change the game that much l. it's just to focus on to the 2nd a semi final now. many in africa, along with the muslim and arab roles are pending their hopes on morocco beating france and making it to the final. the moroccans had already beaten some big teams in katara. they knocked out both spain and portugal, and they also beat belgium in the group stage, morocco's progress to the semi's,
4:42 pm
making them the 1st african side to reach the last for at a fif, a world cup. france, however, are looking to retain their wall title. the rainy champions have been impressive so far and be england in the last round. yep. address the ha, assume the rule. they have no luck at this level. if a team can be belgian and eliminate spain and portugal, it means they have a lot of quality of, certainly off the pitch in terms the cohesion and team spirit. they will be formidable opponents shorted me as a, as a little boy, a could have never ever dreamt of something like this. i know every single player wants to play every does not want. what will play in the world that doesn't want to play football? and of course, sit in on the bench is not my thing. but if you see what we have created to the team, you can see that no one really cares. as long as long as the job is done at the end of the day, let's cross now to nicholas hat, who's in casablanca for us?
4:43 pm
and nick, i can imagine there must be a huge, you anticipation there. right now i can imagine how excited of people are there ahead of wednesday's game. absolutely, the atmosphere here is electric. we're 24 hours a little bit more away from the game that people have been waiting for. and right now, i'm on the pitch. in downtown casablanca, in the old medina in that ra hall football club, where young players are trading to become champions. why this club? well, several of the national squads players have come through this club. you have number 8. i show of dory, who trained here as a child, and then you have number for the midfielder, nani who has also spend time here on this pitch. and there's a sense seeing the moroccan team going forward making history that for these young kids, anything is possible. and while many of them before the success of american tea
4:44 pm
dreamt to be striker or play as mid fielders now, the dream is to be in that position. the goal keeper, ya, scene bono, who is from casa blanca, has made people dream. take a look at this report. ah, in casablanca, as old medina, 17 year old sod be done, is unstoppable. why and ready to step into yessenia, buddha's boots. you know, the goalkeeper is the heart of the chin. when you have this mentality of winning, when you don't cheer the, the opponent, then you will play euro your best. which of us, you know, which one is not the morocco goalkeeper has not up a record number of saves and conceded only one golden cutter. nick named spider man bono seems to have woven in unpalatable web between the posts. he grew up in
4:45 pm
a popular neighbourhood of casablanca. i me, lucky. also as we see of it's a miracle we used to play he on the streets and now he's playing against macy ronald. are all these plays. we could only dream of playing with and video games. those who of wow, the atlas lines have beaten some of the best teams in the world to make it to the semi finals. millions of people around the world celebrated the success of this arab team from africa, playing in a world cup stage for the 1st time in the middle east. the difference between nations are now getting, you know, small and smaller. let's take the case of morocco and the players are playing in the biggest team in the words. so yes, the shark is morocco, bundle plays have a huge back ground, and they have maybe more that termination than the other because they want to push their country in the, in the top and to, to write this is joe, no,
4:46 pm
they chance this is what the moroccan coach has asked supporters to do, they no longer want to become strikers or forwards. they want to become gold capers . this is what morocco's strength is. it's defense and they hope that the goalkeeper, yes, in bono of the national team will be able to stop france on its tracks and push morocco forward in this world cup. the goal keeper is no longer the unsung hero of the team. she is the one who saves the game. the last man standing too often overlooked with thanks to bono, not anymore the broken defense, it seems impenetrable. despite frowns, having a strong attack, this is a game that has gotten moroccan excited. why?
4:47 pm
well, because the relationship within france is not only the former colonial power, the world champion and morocco is a very intimate is as if there step brothers. so many of the players of the french team are dual nationals. and so many of the players on the rocking team are also doing dual nationals and friends can hear them, but they will have to pass through our shop. our key me, they both play at the got a son is l, mom. and so this is a game that has really captured people's imagination. it's a historic game. and there's a lot of expectation that anything is possible that morocco will when and when i speak to some of these kids and some of the fans and morocco, it's not a question. if they will wait, it is they will when tomorrow you got every reason, feel confident, have an eye out. today's visit. belgium, spain, and portugal. people have hacked in like a thank you very much. are back here in katara, thousands of die hard moroccan fans queued over night for a chance,
4:48 pm
but getting their hands on free some final tickets. many showed up wearing their teams, colors outside of algae, new stadium. us furthermore, off and football federation were issuing the tickets. 16 flights have been put on for fans, traveling from morocco to car for wednesday's game against france. will center the, the roof. i'm here to support morocco, buy, body, and soul. we sacrificed every precious thing, but unfortunately we didn't get a ticket. tickets are a matter of luck. we came here so that there is a chance there might be tickets sold or given away for free. some people are gathering here in case there are tickets so far. there's nothing. now and we've been talking about morocco fans and they're present that in katara. they've been such a huge force here supporting their team. how much, how important has it been to the success of the team? thing has been very important to the fact that you have a big community of mark and here in katara think has been this fall to the fact
4:49 pm
that the manager was a manager managing here. so he knows the context and he knows the place sold all defines and it's not only morgan is the german is tunisian, is the whole arab world, an african that they are supporting, moral for that came because they have been the hope and the dream of many many of those people in generation, so i think the 5 be going to play friends as well is going to be pretty special. so we, we were going to expect a beautiful game and we're going to expect a lot of fun and carrying during that game. talk about fans and passion, excitement. now, what does it like to play out of walcott? you appeared in south africa and 2010, of course just explained from place effective what it's like the excitement any, any memories you have of that time. think there is nothing like a woke up, you know, when you, when you were young, when you saw those kids today on the report, it was a just fair gym to be a football player to be a walk up in a woke up with your countries. something special that happened were really,
4:50 pm
it's really difficult to be there. but i remember when we went 2010, we had the funds gathering in front of the hotel all day long until the game and this was special. we have the whole country behind you. so you, you have this responsibility as well. and, but you think you think about when you were young kids is, is it is the dream that he's been realizing away. so i think it's a, it's a fantastic place to be hand cut into play the work up and i think he's, it's a dream control. i came easy as these are players that we've been talking about all throughout the turn meant what other players on the morocco team do you think are going to go into the limelight and be picked up by by big european clubs. yeah, i think so because you know, some of them are really playing a big clubs or big teams in europe, but for sure some of them have been catching the highs off scouts all big teams. we mentioned sophie and i'm, but we've been out standing during this competition and we're not here with
4:51 pm
a young player was in the as well the beauty full in the game and play with the good technical abilities social. after this woke up, you will see some play are going to be club in chelsea. oh manchester. this is all possible enough for sure. it will be something that we're going to see for sure. a few people might be surprised. how far morocco, how about from, with those injuries they had for each one year we felt the was a course of the defending champion, so many injuries. eventually it was almost a blessing for the shot because the players who put in the start, they are enjoying a momentum. i'm talking about trauma ne, in the meat field day, he's been one of the heroes. oh, maybe in the in the number 9 it's been been similar and you don't have such a great connection with him and they both have been great. they haven't it. ok, well thank, that's all we got time for us. so thank you. to jam and atlanta. we are back at 15
