it is very rare, but they're worried because the summer season is about to begin from around the world. poor malott's, he probably be okay. living in a building like this with blown up windows, but the temperature plummets tough conditions. really take that whole lou this is al jazeera. ah hello, i'm adrian finnegan. this is that is our live from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. oh, how do i get it? well, an unprecedented strike across the u. k. up to 100000 nurses, walk off the job and a fight for better paying conditions. you figure show the world's 2nd largest

economy is faltering with warnings. the china could be in for a bumpy ride. as it lifts cove at 19 restrictions. peruse, new government declares a state of emergency to quote protests against the detention of the former president. australia's parliament approves a gas price cap and energy subsidies for households and small businesses. added some buffets france against messes argentina in the world cup final. that offending champions end morocco's dream book ah, tens of thousands of nurses in the u. k. are on strike in that 1st have a national walkout. it's the latest chapter in a bitter pay dispute with the government. nurses with the national health service, one of 19 percent pay rise as they face the cost of living prices due to inflation

. but the u. k. government says that it can only afford 4.3 percent britton's prime minister richie sooner and the opposition leader care stomach had this exchange in parliament on wednesday. last year when everyone else in the public sector had a public like to pay freed, the nurses received a 3 percent pay right. mister speaker, nurse is going on strike. it's a bunch of shame, but the subway instead of sag leadership, he's playing games with people's help. if he thinks it's right that pay demands of 19 percent all met. then he should say, hook, what week mister speaker, if he's not strong enough to stand up to the union. let's go live, not of oxford in the u. k. out as he was jonah hollister. jonah, this is, i suppose, another example of britain's winter of discontent. absolutely,

the nurses joining now, striking rail workers striking transport workers the board a spot board stop will be on strike soon. bus drivers across the public sector, but the nurse is really, this is historic. it's the 1st time such a wave of strikes in the nursing profession has happened in the entire history of the national health service. a service that many say is close to collapse. 19 percent is what the nurses have been asked before. as you heard there around 4 percent is what been offered in terms of an independent hey review. not enough say the nurses they are simply struggling to continue in the profession under a crippling cost of living crisis. one of them is with me now amy prichard, george me, thanks a me for joining us here. as a profession, it cannot be easy for nurses to down tools knowing what you know about the impact that will have on the health service. what brought you to this voice? the huge question. i think there has been chronic and strategic under funded by our

government. and that led us to the position where in today, where we've had to stand up, take industrial action and, and speak up for nurses to ensure and push for better patient care at that funding . and hey, in line with a sullivan, a lot of your numbers simply not able to afford to continue if not in the profession and certainly with the a nature. so a lot of people leaving is that right lately? yeah, we've lost thousands. i thousands and thousands of masses during the pandemic, but free pandemic compose. and i'm actually in the nursing profession as b, chronically affected by our government. and things that have happened in the world for a really, really long time. and it's only now that we feel like we've got the other voice and that we're able to make a stand to ask what we deserve. 19 percent is a big number and if you realistically expect to get 90 percent, no, no, i don't. but i think if we don't ask,

we don't get and we cannot continue like that. there are, we are depleted as a, as a staff team, we are waiting lists are unmanageable and unsafe. the patient care that we deliver is below standard. and that's not because we don't want to deliver back to patient care. we don't have the resources, the time, the money and the support. to do that. we hear lots of cars passing by tooting their support or you the public broadly at the moment or behind the nurses. are you worried about the impact of this strike and another one next week, a potentially more in the new year on frontline healthcare? like no, i'm more worried about us continuing as we are with the lack of funding and ask for resources. that's what i'm more worried about today's striking, not, not really an issue in my opinion compared to what we are faced with every single day, which is huge amount of burn out staff to have nowhere near enough support for patients and families. and do think that the government doesn't move that your unit will be

willing to, to go further next year. yeah, i do. i agree. i think they will and i hope they do because we now we stood up. we can't sit down again. we cannot take a seat until our needs are met. okay, emmy, pretty, really with that. thank you very, very much. lots of public support being tutored by cars passing the nurses admit that this is all. don't have an impact, particularly on non urgent care. but they say the time has come to take us there. john holl reporting live from oxford in the united kingdom. germany, thanks, and it new data shows that china's covet 19 battered economy slumped in november before authorities east severe pandemic restrictions. growth and factory output last month slowed to half of october's rate. while retail sales also contracted for a 2nd consecutive month, property investment at the world's 2nd largest economy fell to the lowest in more than 2 decades. and unemployment is that it's highest in 6 months, which on it is rolling back cove at 19 restrictions,

but the world health organization is concerned that it's 1400000000 people are not adequately vaccinated. the government says that around 90 percent of the population is immunized or wednesday announced a 2nd booster shot for high risk groups and people over the age of 60 world. her organization says the child has biggest challenge is to provide the right vaccines with the right doses. does a little narrative at the moment and in some way, china lifted the restrictions and all of a sudden the disease out of is, is out of control. the disease was spreading intensively because i believe the control measures in themselves were not stuffing the disease. and i believe that the chinese authorities have decided strategically that, that, for them is not the best option anymore. more from richard kimber, who's in hong kong. the latest figures before the rules are relaxed, underscoring just how much of an impact these strict rules have had with everything from retail sales to factory output slumping. and that's not really showing any

signs of having improved in the years and months up until this policy relaxation taking place. the hope is, of course, that because of those, we like stations, things will bounce back. but as a say, the expectation from says it could take at least 6 more months for that to happen because they expect that to be a period between now and the middle of next year when it will take a lot of time for the public to get more confident with the idea of the latest variance, if kobe 19 big acceptable in society and the way that they have already become so much of the rest of the world. and it's that time period that could be crucial for china because it's already struggling with high levels of unemployment and low levels of growth, which are not necessarily going to be sustainable without huge extra injections of stimulus from the central bank. and while that money may be available, it might not be something that policy makers of initially hope they would have to spend just to try and find a way of trying to transition out of a long standing 0 tolerance approach into what is now

a much more relaxed state of affairs, but without perhaps analysts say the type of transitional planning in place to make that a smooth transition. a speak to don wang, she's chief economist at, hang st. bang china, she georgia, now live via skype from shanghai. good to have with us. chinese economy has been slowing for a while now. all these latest data, just a bump in the road when it's problems. take a good while to put right. these headline figures are a lot worse than the market expect ations, and we expect a situation could last to least february next year. the main problem now is that the reverse of the 0 cobra policy was quite unexpected. hospital and the medical care systems are simply not ready, and people are in a way imposing the self locked down at home. and we see this widespread of loss of productivity. and it's going to be very bad before it's going to get bad. all right, so you're saying that china isn't really prepared for

a wave of code at 19 infections that it begins to wind down at 0 cove. it policy, and that's going to have a negative impact of southern negative impact on it can on the counselor. absolutely. because right now what we see is different cities are not on the same trajectory. in the recovery. china has many density politics populated cities and in terms of production and consumption, the city services have already been quite depressed. and now people are even more scared about spending. we have seen layoff starting to take place in many of the major cities, including beijing in shanghai, and across many different industries, including finance and real estate, and foster solution continues. then we'll, we'll see much delayed response in investment, especially from the private sectors. we'll china's economy. do you think ever get back to the days of double digital, near double digit growth, or is that

a new reality, a new normal where china's economy is, is facing ever stiff competition from abroad. while it's safe to say now that the double digit growth era for china has been over. and it's not just because of coven, but also because a transition of china growth engine used to be able to just feel its way out. by spending a lot of seen infrastructure and housing, but we have seen that infrastructure spending is basically reaching an end because everything needed to be viewed basically are being built already. and how the market has been quite surprised, mostly because of the intentional policy choice. so now china is facing a lot more competition and a lot more restriction. also from the u, as in europe, it really needs to figure out a way to improve its productivity by innovation. but now the main concern is that a state own enterprises and public sector have been expanded,

so massively since cold it, and it's not very good for does transition into innovation by state condo. me, it's been really good. so too many thanks. indeed, for that, don wang, who is the chief economist that hangs saying bank china here with the these are on al jazeera, still to come a course in turkey sentences, a major opposition figure to more than 2 and a half years in prison will tell you why so france have booked their place in the world cup final against argentina, the defending champions people rocco, to nil. the french team stunned the atlas lions with early goal despite several attempts. morocco just couldn't find the back of the net with just 11 minutes to the final whistle. france scored a 2nd. the results and

a dream run for morocco who became the 1st team from africa to make the final for. they'll play croatia in the 3rd place, playoff of hearing football fans to go to paris on wednesday night, people danced in the streets and climbed lamp posts, settled fireworks and flares to celebrate their teams. victory, france hope to become the 1st country in 60 years. suit to successfully defend their will come title, it will break the damage or sequence volume, and so it is experimental. again, despite marcus pressures, i think the game was mostly under control. we managed to remain calm as we did against england. it's a great victory for france, bring on argentina, bring on messy de paul and autumn. the marble now shall gravel to the moroccans. it's not only france that wins, but all of the french speaking people. we are proud of our team's performance at this world cup. and moroccans that will stand with us in the final, we are in the final well,

if there is one item that sums up the 1st world cup in the middle east, it's the arab headscarf, below trash. it's given fans around the world, a new way to support that seems. we've got a man who's turned his passion into a rather colorful business. ah, my name faith i've given the i me, i am the owner of love from one of those little window is the company that sells a lot in the colors of teams that are playing in those people are world helped with her. i've been a part of the other culture for thousands of years. 3 islam. it's more of a cultural thing and our little thing, ah, thousands of years ago, the other people use the word to protect themselves from the sun, from the of the sun in the summer. and then again,

from the wind and from the dust they put in front of their faces and involved with time to become just the part of the, our culture we try to do with, with on it to make it more friendly. the other culture can be intimidating, but we wanted to be friendly and that's, that's how the idea came about with the thrive, the flag of the country that of recipient. and the 23rd to do with her amazing acceptance from both the funds and looked at that he is a we, we expected it to be to be accepted, but it see the expectation. i'm very happy about that so that it's in to join the culture. you know, the latin american 0 in the west is just learned something new the data culture

and they learned. busy well, it's not as hostile as people make it seems and the need them, it seems and they learned that the other people aren't as the other one says, no thought of it was me the me, mackenzie ah, there are even a wider, accepted, the idea that you can see the, the 30 people big thing, the letters of the 3 and the good thing bung wearing these look was on during the culture with our have much more world cup news with gemma. and far off on our special woke up coverage. you can see that in the little under 15 mit it starts at 1030 hours, g m t, here on out here. ah,

through has declared a 30 day state of emergency response to protests by supporters. the ousted president federal castillo, security services, or other security forces, will have the power to stop demonstrations and to search homes without warrants protest as a calling for castillo release. he was jailed off to trying to dissolve congress last week. marianna sanchez reports now from lima. a precedent the never wanted declared, the country is now in a state of emergency. as demonstrators in hospital looted, stores burnt, a television station, and tried to storm the airport in another city uno protesters also tried to force entry to the runway. the army has been deployed to assist the police and protecting key infrastructure with blockades on main highways and expanding protests. but what

they brought forward the plan for general elections again to be held. she says a year from now in m battle i see in the react legally, the timetables will be okay for 2024. however, making readjustments, this can be brought forward to december 2023 because before that date, legally it would not be possible. protesters are demanding general elections. now. donnelly's kareka came all the way from bill's amazon region. he says he wants his voice heard ago. we want congress to close a change of the constitution and the new elections are. these demonstrators are hoping former president bill lucas steel, ruby fried. one week after he tried to dissolve congress suspended legal protections and ordered the army to patrol the streets. the former president is detained on with charges. it is likely the drive thru ordered that garcia remain

under arrest kathy of this freedom, being restricted as the inter american commission for human rights to intercede in a hand written letter to this beloved what they forbid, whose social and rest law, ripple insomnia, and spirit. i haul you and all your circle responsible for the ferocious attack on my compatriots. i got a cold and organized people to remain alert and optimistic. we're already so i say yellow check away. yes, in tears she says the steel is the legitimate leader. i think way, let me know. my president has been elected by the people. he is the president of the paypal. he has come from the highlands. the white people do not want house support who say they will remain outside the prison for the lonely. they'd sit up a camino kitchen to sustain themselves and their cars, while the judiciary decides,

just to use faith. the innocent is, i just see that you might be to the irish army says that one of its soldiers serving with you and peacekeeping mission in lebanon has been killed. and another seriously injured the convoy, reportedly came under small arms fire. now, some are found in the south while traveling to bay route. the un mission says that his last of joint investigation with the lebanese army or thought to with the family to that because this is the worst possible news for them. at this time of the year and you know, or peacekeepers, i think distinguish ireland overseas. i think that bring great, great dignity to the country. am at it is very, very sad that we have this morning that in a very serious instant, i wonder peacekeepers has been killed as well. i've been to cellar found and saw the lebanon al jazeera zayna. honda is there, tell us more about what happened as anna

well, as you heard the irish defense ministry, along with the un peacekeeping for some southern lebanon, they're calling this a serious incident that happened just a few meters behind me were not able to show you anything because the situation is very tense, the lebanese army is not allowing us to fill many things or to approach the area investigations are under way. what do we know as of now, this incident happened in boy where operate there were one who made apparently to the airport. no, yes. this is not considered to be their normal. so the main highway is adjacent to this road. and some forces tell us that they got lost. there was a lot of crowd, there was a crowd in the street that was just after the world cup match. now what happened after that conflicting narrative?

if you talk to people here, some, some will say that the un peacekeepers were trying to leave the area. they hit somebody other say that people from this area, they open fire out the vehicles resulting in one of the vehicles overturning. we are thing videos online on social media. you can actually hear the small arms fire and you can also see a vehicle over turns. now whether you talk to politicians, officials and even the irish defense ministry, they're all calling. no one has called this an attack or a deliberate attack, but at the same time, this will not be the 1st time you, you know, fil, a uniform convoy. it gets involved in some sort of an incident with the local population in southern lebanon in recent months. we've seen minor incident permission between the people and the un 4th, but this is the 1st time that has,

has a, how to 0 says idaho, that reporting live from southern lebanon. does anybody, thanks? hundreds of people have rallied in istanbul in support of the mer after a court sentenced him to jail for insulting public officials. the trial focused on remarks that efram m. o molo made during the merrill race in 2019. if the appeals court upholds the verdict, it would prevent him from holding public office for the duration of his 2 years. 7 months sentence m. o malo, as seen as a potential challenger, the president richard, ty, birth one in elections next here law. this court case has proved that there is no justice left in turkey. this case is led by people who don't want to bring the values such as justice and democracy to turkey. and in fact, there is a case which was shamelessly influenced and decided by the people who claim ownership of everything see themselves as the state. and the nation australia is

putting a price cap on gas and coal as it tries to curb soaring prices. parliament is approved to plan to set a price limit on energy supplies. it also says it will help households and businesses transition from gas to electricity inflation and the war in ukraine of pushed up australia's power prices. as sarah clark reports from brisbin, that will be described as an extraordinary market intervention. that's what the opposition being the coalition party, the government, they didn't like this. i said there are an intended consequences by interrupting and disrupting the market. for energy. they tried to amend the rule, they tried to split it in the senate and we saw 3 and a half out the buy in the senate, but i grew, they didn't get to the city because the government has a majority because it signed up with the the grains and some of those cost pension . so in the, in the past $29.00 at $24.00 in the last hours the treasury costing suggest that

this bill in the early days, my transitional trans liked to aside about $160.00 of the average annual family electricity bills are not much, but certainly a stock, but what was also part of not just the kept on the energy price rises, but it was also the package of $1000000000.00 package which was given in return for the support from the not mine, a party package to what they call it electrify. how some of these houses around australia, particularly targeting the low middle income families, as well as more businesses. and this is to be converting from gas a to renewable energy. and this is of the maximizing energy efficiency addressing at the level of emissions outputs. the strategy has of course, drifting climate change as a result and hospitals will be given concessional, re bites and loans to help them pay to electrify behind these households. so i should say also that this energy process, it's not long term, it's temporary only, but it will be in place now. for 12 months, the us central bank,

the federal reserve, has raised interest rates for 7th time. this year. point increases its latest attempts to bring down inflation. hydro. castro reports from washington. the u. s. central bank says it's tough medicine approach to bringing down inflation has been working. and so it is now lowering the dosage the announced the interest rate hike of half a percentage point, though still big is smaller than the previous 4 increases of 3 quarters of a percent. each federal reserve chairman jerome powell says that the board has seen evidence of us inflation coming down from its 40 year high. the latest consumer price index showed the annual inflation rate was 7 point one percent in november, inflation data received. so for, for october and november show a welcome reduction in the monthly pace price increases. but it will take substantially more evidence to give confidence that inflation is on

a sustained downward path. the feds governing board also said no more modest interest rate hikes to come in 2023 and they predicted near 0 g d p growth for the u. s. l. so that doesn't mean recession is on the horizon though, because the labor market remains strong, he says, and in fact, the u. s. is short, 3 and a half 1000000 workers will get a weather update next here on that isa of them. it's all woke up special, gemma and sorrow here with the best of the action as fran street. morocco to reach the final ah how i the weather remains, but in the cold, across a good parts of northern year, but signs of smaller pushing into the northwest as you go to the early part of next

week for the time being. it will stay very, very chilly. indeed, the milder at the moment is across southern parts of europe. a lot of cloud and rain sweeping in here. couple of areas of low pressure affecting some areas pushing across spite ports go more weight by the here. southern areas of fraud seems very heavy, right. and it's not moderate bumps into the colder snow on the northern flank of that some really heavy rainfall through thursday. there for northern parts of italy, so much whether to over to will to kia and there's some snow there into western russia. ukraine also seeing a fabulous snow over the next couple of days as we push on into friday to see how that went to weather makes his way a little farther north, which denise would say the snow more expansive. we'll see some snow into central and southern parts of poland, pushing down towards austria towards the alps. still a rash of showers there across central western parts of the mediterranean to a few showers the into the south west of you to the north. there we go. still more, very cold will snow showers coming in across scotland and into more than parts of

island. so whether to into an old and positive morocco over the next couple of days, making its way into now g area with that was a time to be direct. there is a growing realization that rights can be taken away in this country to cut through the rhetoric. how can we resist this narrative and how dangers and demand the truth? join me, mark them on hill for up front on al jazeera, calling attention to inequality, pollution, and extra judicial killings in kenya's low income communities. one brother was killed by police. they don't weekdays, but they want us to do one day, an organizer on the wrapper,

how old they need to keep awfully begun. the promethean board and they have a donkey bus that he go got in generation change kenya. change is coming, is no doubt about it. on a gina lou with with oh

wow, come along to world cup today on fire. it's mouth, france, break morocco's heart to remain on ports to defend their well title. hello. i'm to have an actual bringing the best of the action and reaction from the semi final at our bait stadium. and he had to talk us through it all is jemila had a very happy a frenchman today for vfc player da da da. look ahead to that mouth watering. the final, which is now confirmed for sunday, argentina versus france, which means l. b, leno massey versus kelly. and in bob a also coming out we'll catch up with some freestyle footloose hooping showing off their streets. girls haven't done let's get straight to the oxen though, and hot bright co, former. okay, fans out there,

wild cup. dream is over france or through to the final and still in the running it to defend that title broker came into the semi final without conceding a goal from an opponents in the whole torments. there france quit, came a to right through with a day or and, and as i'm putting them ahead, just 5 minutes in. and that's the earliest, well cup, semi final go since 1958 as it in or not. he had a chance to level things up for okay. but you go to race was up to the top rocker it came place again, just we'll have time and inspect. he'll have fashion. how about this? so i am dashes, a bicycle cake. he seeing at low price, so place larisse got a $100.00 as well in the 2nd half funded just off the coming on as a substitute randall the cold water you put francis to up with his bus international golden water trying to score it's killing him by face to run the, creating the chance to make the game the safe, and that's the way state france now get the chance to become the 1st nation to retain the title since petty's brazil. in 1962 in the most is just

a. com. i'm always so proud will be a cheaper result. part of it. it was the last that we have to take to reach somebody. final wasn't easy, but with the right mix of quality and experience with our team spirit, we were able to dig deep when things got tough. and as a coach that gives me so much satisfaction and pride and the group of players we have out there. it's not ready thinking about myself. what about the 20th before cal shortly? good. you lost your signal. we need to stop being regular circles competition so that we can put morocco world footballing math at the same level as brazil, france for england. we need to come back every time and not have to wait every 20 years. we need to be regulars and then and the future will be normal for team like morocco to reach the semi finals. this is a big step for, i think, psychologically as run for morocco will free a lot of african teams and free the minds of lots of young africans. let them know they're capable of taking on brazilian france and england. we too are capable of

progressing in the world of football. though we can't rest on our laurels this the work to do. this is just one competition. we need to start being regulars, to show that this was no accident. on spring and jam and daddy to get the reactions . and again, i want to start with you behind sol, france really showed their strength once again, despite all the injuries the illness says, you know, they saw got through really worried at any point during the game. last night. yeah, i was very of course in america there were really good at some point, you know, there, there were lively, there were a lead, there are the dead some chances. but he was like her, the angling games. and we are, we suffered, but we are, we didn't crumble and that's the, as the force allowed to the r o tim, you know, technically o'clock, google speed and everything. but i think mentally, the mindset was absolutely fantastic in the and you look at the defense, you know, sometimes you know that we can concede chances but was still there. and the scenario was a little bit better for us because medical never conceived 1st and after false

means with just the as called the gold. so we were a little bit lucky. but still, you know, it, so it was so proud of our boys. you know, there is some generation like brazilian they didn't see for the last 20 or is the tim winning. and we had for finally 24 years. that's absolutely incredible. but that's the best one. in term of mindset, because as you were think we had so much injury, no bologna though, no pug by no county, and we made it to the final. it's absolutely fantastic. and devil we had from kate sure. why didn't regard a moment ago. and he said in an interview a few days ago, now that it's impossible for our coaches to be hired by top european clubs, but also the job. he's not at this time and you expect some of those big clubs to come knocking. yeah, i think the sentence will be, it was impossible for an out of coach, but definitely he did so good with the moral co national team that, that put him in the biggest showcase of football and this business, which is

a woke up. so i'm sure he would have offered the thing, it's probably the oracle for go for the nation, will try to keep him because he's he would. but i'm sure, i mean, it's all of our tradition and the top plot. look at, look in europe, south america, where the football has more tradition, but this will help. and you know, morocco, jama, have world cap hosting ambition? do you think what they've done here will help with the future, but it has to help because i was mentioning this is the woke up is the biggest showcase in both business and sport. and they've been to, well, it's been so impress if they weren't so many supporters and people are hard here and all around the world that's for sure will have, they've tried 5 times unsuccessful bits before they are working on the 2030. it's going to be a really tough one because the south american, it's going to be very powerful. it has a whole month equal to why century. so it's a big one and also is that these a very and spain, portugal a new cranium language is quite powerful. tool,

but it will have then not only because of these because they having best of so much in football, that's why they are now collecting the foot of a lot of effort and putting a lot of money there. so. so for sure, if it will improve their chances. agenda just said actually rocha how this side of one of the hearts of people in the world. have you seen evidence that today throughout the tournaments of everybody getting behind morocco and if one over lots of people use of course 1st all the one there were the best was argentina, france that said you are a batch and everybody went to see a moral call was quite impressed, you know, about the, the, the noise that the deed in the stadium. and as jim was saying as well, and it was good to see or the fans the atmosphere in. because when you see, when you go to casablanca, for example, you see the walk or roger, that's absolutely fantastic. you know, we're accustomed to go to europe. we played liverpool ever in europe. but when you go to migrate, you know, it's actually wonderful atmosphere like in boca junior,

so i'm glad that they realised as well like they're working good was of a groggy that their fans, that they are the beautiful country on our coming people just to go morocco it's absolutely fantastic, so i hope is going to help them on the pitch and of the pigeon. lydia isn't the only, are proud a frenchman today, a french president, a manual, a mackerel says he is immensely proud of the same. he was in the stadium last night to watch the action life and says he'll be back for the final against argentine. with the 1st one, the french people to enjoy this simple happiness to be happy. then i want to tell the moroccans that they have a great team. they did great in this world cup. they played a great semi final and they don't have to be embarrassed about it. and i want to offer them our friendship. so everybody should enjoy this moment and from tonight will be preparing for the final and you know what? we're going to win it. and i'll be here on sunday. so the french president is happy,

but there is disappointment in morocco. nicholas hack was watching with fans in casablanca. the score is not what people had expected were en route downtown was blanca and the old medina in a place where people had gathered rockies, but also my grandfather, oberlin from africa, had gathered together to watch the game. as he said. 6 no problem did one more go or off of a they probably got the fact that they have gone up the bar field like they've shattered the glass ceiling. and that now anything is possible. this team, the morocco team has made people dream. it's the 1st time that we seen a muslim team going so far an arab team in african team going as far in the world cup. and now it feels like anything is possible. next up is on saturday, the game against croatia, and then or heroes. welcome back. in morocco. ok,

let's talk about the final. did he a to al, football's biggest secret, sorry. my going had to had. are france more scared of massey or argentina? more scared al, bobby, that's a good question. i think argentina a little bit more war than we because we wanted so 4 years ago, i think we are little bit younger. we have a little bit more speed. but argentina, there are there on a mission. the whole country, everybody, even people who like messy. so it's, sir, it's something really special in the and as well. they're gonna, they already $11.00 box of this is the bottle of the funds. so it's going to be my 2000 and there will be, i don't know, 50000, at least, you know, we're not great in that sense. in order to support or, and friends, i hope that will come, you know, over the weekend. so anything can happen if you tell me about quality. i think

france no because i'm french, but i think they're a little bit more feared, but was a mercy. the best cora gold scorer was the, the tremendous service period that they showed the kids or anything. yeah, i'm gemma, were of course, over far too young to remember the welcome to 1986 out way. the way you massey is performing here does have sort of shades of mar dollar in 80. 6, her guiding his eye to the trophy to get the sense that this is going to be argentine as you. yes. so we've been told it's the best thing to with the performance of that milan as 86. so in a world cup, and i think these messy is very close to that. there are differences. her messy is 10 years older than that. they have been southern minor loaner. he was 25. um but, but yeah, it's the closest i thing argentina and i'm in the world for the player will be closer to to that the icon, marianna and i senior, this is the the chance for argentina. i think they are way better than that. argentina who went into the 2014 final in brazil, and they have

a real chance. and is the last chimes the last dance of men in our cup and did a at boilers carrion benzene my, my at play in the final? did you hear anything like that? would that be a good idea link or sound like risk it? yeah. heard that this morning with no e can come if she wants, you know her just to watch the final. but i don't think did here will put it in the team as a to train and to go and to be part of the 26th. no. first of all, because i think it made it pretty clear to carmina that that's over for you. and because woodson marcus, jude arm and not colo money, which we like a lot she knows called so been gold. so maybe you will invite him year for, for sure. i don't know it's going will or will, but in the team than i don't think so. you will come on. he may be out of balance or whenever i think that would be pretty incredible. if he a claim to find out that a party is at a fee for a rethinking their plan, said to expand their 2026 markup from. and 32 to 48 teams has been

a dramatic groups day say, would you be in favor of leaving the world cup as it is the same format? the same number of teams? it's always a dilemma when you have that, you know it 48, tim, it's great because you are, you going to have small teams was going to cheer for the walker between improved in order the, the development of those country and make a country happy for months but at same times in a 48 it's, it's, it's, it's a lot, i think. so for me, it will be suited to why? because in group games you will have a lot of difference. even though the margin, you know, as a, as decrease a lot between the, the level of tim's a more into 32 teams. and it would be perfect. any was perfect for me. 48. it's so light, it's solid in term of, of, of, of level is a lot of her in term of ecology of her as well. you know, you have to bring all that team or, but at the same time the small people are cheering of people, you know, i know, you know, supporting their countries. so, but if you ask, be no,

i'm more into saudi to tintin. i would ever think there's pros and cons, isn't there? now let's get sir out and about town. now i'm sorry, higher ads. is me seeing how fans are recovering from last nights at cit, like if for hey, i have on us as a new business saying that. com, especially for the game that was playing yesterday for some rural kind of come all the way from fronts. it was very difficult for the both of you to decide who to support, but you decided on supporting morocco, is that right? yeah, of course morocco. the house heard yesterday? sports morocco and i think we're both friends, but we're all thought were moroccan. we came here with no choice made in, in our head and, but, you know, there was a lot of american fans and we had to support them because of the, you know, the dance and of that. and it's the 1st time that's an african country made it to

the same same semi finals. so you know, it was of the journey that was made. it was already history. so regardless of the results, it was very important to us to come here. where do you think this will take morocco and countries from africa? coral, our walls or maybe some of the teams that have been under adults the previous one. do you think this is given them the fire for the next world cup? yeah, i think this will, you gave the, you know, the small team, older outsiders hope because morocco was not one of the favorites, but they made it to the semi finals. so you know, everything is possible. and i think every other country should see that as a you know, a model and they should not give up before before the games. i've also got 2 gentlemen here visiting, especially from new york. can you remind me of your name, please?

god, god, to be nice to me. i'll be you told me that you had been to the ball cup in russia that was in 2018. let me just get closer and you had hoped to see origin . tina you said it's your favorite theme. yeah, i saw a quote, i didn't, you know, since i was a boy and hopefully argentine i can take it on this. this woke up and you coming especially for that game for the final, especially what i might and finally nodded dina played well. there when against quito was probably like a revenge for the last woke up. and i'm expecting the same from front. so probably be the $2092018.00 for 3. i'm hoping i didn't you know when i came here for brazil finally 40 years and tina that is going to be the last give for my team. so i think it's all for him. i hope he wins it for himself. he deserves it. and and for it and tina, obviously it's a little bit more some, but in this case you'll have

a loss of activity loads, moroccan, but i think having a rest day now the world cup in katara has brought together the planets top super star is playing in teams that will go down in sporting history. the world, a freestyle of football association has brought together a different team to car, a freestyle or of all nationalities background and physical abilities who have been performing on match days for any urine has more. the with the best footballers are intuitive. instinctive showing off skills honed on the streets and in school yard with that football. but it's also a freestyle and pena doll technique played by one on one football jack down or is a 2 time world pad, a champion. but he says his journey wasn't always easy. year and
