2:03 am
experienced in protesting for many, many years. and so they are the ones who are trying to march towards the center of the in front of congress to pressure congressman to bring forward the general election. something that congress has to do by there has to be old. the face says for this to happen. so for now, there's a lot of tension here in the center of the capitol. as a former president, a feel is still remaining a under arrest. and marianna, we're still waiting on this judge to decide if castillo stays in detention. what will, can you tell us about this hearing? well, the judge has begun this hearing. he's going also the motions of remembering

2:06 am
1st place. i elijah, at the beginning of her mandate after mr. garcia was deposed on our impeached. she said that earlier lectures were not high priority. she's changed her mind twice since then. then she said, okay, let's make a proposal to refer to our who was to call for earlier luncheon for april 2020 full . now he has moved forward. so december 2023. that me that she realizes that congress will have who approve this early alicia to kansas. georgia have bid in relation to what's happening in the street now. and congress has been reluctant so far rock separate election because many of them, the actual members of congress will not be able to. so again, because there's a lot in the computer. so it's very difficult now to know what's going on. but congress is debating at this moment. i think that proposal to corporal election for december 2020, that 3 jobs. as you say, many protesters had been demanding the release of castillo,
2:07 am

2:08 am
she's got some dialogue with his community, but the problem is that is her all grievances at cassandra in the next year. so it's going to be very difficult. but she's, she insist that she wants to settle that instead of it is going to be a by only selectively in certain parts of the country. yeah, just an important point to make because of just a final thought to you and, and where does all of this than leave the new president? dina bellotta, you've been talking about her. i mean, she's calling on peruvians to you. nice, but i guess that's a difficult call, isn't it? given the growing instability across the country is not going to care the units of the country in the, in the remaining sort of time. she will stay in power. busy there's not going to happen. she can come this efficient bit and it will be after the new government, which if congress approved his proposal will be sworn in in july 2024. a deletion should take place in december 2023. he will be the new govern. we'll have to make concrete proposals to address this urgent issues or marginalization disenfranchise,
2:09 am

2:26 am
about sundays match. leon with is a great video and he plays in taurus that i prefer him in paris and his national team. so we will do our best known. we have a lot of respectful for, for his teams is wonderful. one, but i think at the french team is will prepared. we have some very experience and very young players and i, i think the mix of both both is opposed to incredible and them. i'm very confident that his chemistry and i think this is a team with a lot of willingness generosity. and it will have 68000000 people backing them. and i'm really fond of them. or problems departments. argentina have been back out on the training fields for the 1st time since they're 75 when i the co ship, but the full squad wasn't on show. little messy was one of those who set out the section like france, argentina hoping to let's see,
2:27 am
for the 1st time in the history. well, let's look ahead to that father with our football analyst. what around go next. he says this will be his last well cut much if you turn in the truth. asterisk, it's up to him. it's a truth until he doesn't make it the truth to be quite honest. argentine we'll have to go through work of qualifying starting in march. does he want to get committed at this point saying that i would believe not if he's saying that he already said look, the reason i don't want to go through it is because i don't want to go through the experience of having to have 4 years of preparation, injuries, having to stay fit and being a 39. grading for, for a 6 woke up an unprecedented 6 work up. so there is some truth to that. now he might start feeling the knock in the pings at, at this, at this stage of his career. so it might be especially feel in the world cup. i think you'd probably be hanging up. or let's have a look at from whenever and starting on about killing and clearly
2:28 am
a key play for the goal. it's really impress me watching this. told him it's been been playing a slightly different role than what we normally saying. you see, but he's been a quite revelation because, you know, he's a good player, but he's had what kind of a toilet. but you're right in one asked, he is a revelation of source because of where he's playing in his position in this squad, playing a bit deeper back, being able to find and exploit the spaces there being opened up by the defenses. so that's very key to the lack of, you know, being that kind of met not being caught more aggressive that we use that is exactly right that, and another player to be looking at to is i didn't have you who has been quite impressive in the middle the pitch being able to be that stop or, or that also destroy slash creator a going forward. and there is what other factor here it's the into support is alongside the moroccans cleaning the most passionate amount isn't supportive that they told them. and so they get a dominate village stadium on sunday. are they going to be a factor unless francis scores in the 1st 5 minutes? i think they will. but obviously, as i mentioned before,
2:29 am
if france does take the initiative and does score early on, they could be silent just as much as as morocco. although i do have my doubts on that letter of statement i just made because it's very difficult to be able to silence these argentine fans carla's, of what the situation is in the teams going through argon. thank you very much for that will to saturdays 3rd place, play off now co aisha morocco looking to and the tournament on a hi. some say this matches more like a friendly but there is a bronze medal at stake of the corporation. place say they will be taking the fixture very seriously. if i'll repeat the so, i think if you ask this question to the moroccan players, i don't think they will look at this. match is a friendly, they're going to fight. they're fighting for their lives. because if he win a meddler to woke up, you become an immortal hero in your country. that's the same thing. we're going to do. 8 of us from russia, understand that feeling of winning a medal at the world cup. and we have a lot of players who haven't experienced that and would love to do that because it's something that will stay with them for the rest of their life. friendly game
