oh, because of all sides, ah, no matter where it takes us. a fan of sir, again, my eye and power impartial. we tell your stories. we are your voice, your news, your net al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera. ah, hello, this is the news hour on al jazeera. i'm fully back to live in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. south africa is governing body, relax, president, to run my poster as its leader, despite accusations of corruption and violating his oath of office. ukraine's

capital is the target of more russian drones strike. several areas in keys are without electricity. i'm back in the midst of a new jelly with how has a family have gathered to my bedroom license for the busy the government hasn't been ah, also the sour riding on a high argentina when their 3rd world cup title beating friends in a penalty shootouts celebrations. went on late into the night as fans favor their 1st p for when a more than 30 years. ah, thank you very much for joining as we begin this news, our in south africa, where serial rama pasa, has been re elected to lead the governing african national congress. this means run a post. i will lead the party into the national elections in 2024 dela. is that

a conference in johannesburg? chosen posts are over former health ministers. wally casey. the present has come under fire recently in connection with a burglary scandal involving hundreds of thousands of dollars. that's bring in, i shall kaji who joins us live from johannesburg. she is a political analysts. very good. have you with us? i sure. so this was a closer than expected res between president run a policy and the former health minister. first of all, are you at all surprised that from a poser has been re elected? not really, i've been speaking to people on the ground among the dead, i guess. and there was a quite a wide spread to view that despite his recent scandal regarding his game resolving, paula, paula, they believed that he's the better to evil, shall we say, because i quote one anonymous. those who said to me, well, you know, mr. i'm opposed. daniel concerns, he's personal, but when i was mr. jesus gallow concerns millions of friends of money that was

supposed to go towards p. p. e during the coven pandemic. so that's probably and i think that's what made the difference. will many people also knowing that the economy would probably nosedive, had mr. mccoy and not been re elected as president right now, run a full size. he said, had faced calls to resign ahead of this conference over the alleged cover up of the fact of a large sum of money in his farm that was hidden there. but is this reelection noise and c leader, a ringing endorsement, a lot, a still those within the party that want change is not going to be an issue for him over the next year and he and a half until the election very much. so unless he cleans house pretty urgently, because both be in the top leadership, the national executive committee and the national working committee have a large number of people who are n t. mr. i'm opposed, as indeed he has with them. he's own cabinet. he has people who didn't tell the

party line in parliament last week during the vote on whether he should be in beach or not. there are people who are coming to this conference and spoken out vocally that they things are on the who is the should go. so to have those people at the top executive level and to try to work with what are you picked in within your own party, it's going to be very difficult. and today, mr. on the whole was, i've been very conciliate pre. he's tried to foster unity between the various factions within the n, c, et cetera. but right now we need to see really a re shuffling of cabinet. we need to see a real commitment to bringing those responsible to what state to state capture. that's the corruption that happened, particularly under mr. zoom a to see that come to fruition in terms of, you know, getting those people prosecuted and getting the money back, etc. and we need to see things like the state owned enterprise popella. if we need

to see that work better, we're having rolling blackouts and blue shedding. yeah. in south africa and that's really having a negative effect on the economy and on the morale of the general population. yeah, i was going to ask you, i show what the expectations were from south africans, not the party members, not the party members, but from south africans as around a post at least now the party to the next general election in 2024. and where is the opposition in all this? we official opposition in south africa consist of several fairly small parties, the largest of which the democratic alliance and economic freedom by just the economic freedom fighters are calling for mr. i'm a close that down there, very much aligned with the so called radical economic transformation will be a and see what section of the in the, who are behind mister keys. it was also of course, as a list. and you know, even if we have to see a coalition count 2020 full between the year and b and c,

we'll see really rapid nationalization of major assets within the country. and that will have diaries based on the economy. i chicago g very good to talk to you as always. thank you very much for joining us on al jazeera. thank you. a nother world news now. another wave of russian attacks has hit ukraine's capital. keith military administration says it's shot down several drones on monday morning . ukraine has been rushing to restore power to cities after rush and strikes destroyed parts of the energy grid. the attacks have punch much of the country into darkness during freezing winter temperatures. cha, stratford has the latest from keith to this comes only a couple of days after one of the biggest attacks on the guy will city those attacks using missiles. and we know the kind of pressures at the authorities here under, in trying to restore electricity across the country to areas was effected. the

men of the great capital kiev has come out in last hour also and said that there is ongoing work trying to, to saw this critical infrastructure. we understand that one of the main targets was actually targeted last week as well. that's one of these substations. so important for the supply of electricity and heat. the presence lensky last night said that an additional $3000000.00 homes had had electricity and heat restored to them since those attacks on friday. yes, this is another example of just how vulnerable ukraine and the capital city in particular is and how the russian seemingly can target these areas at will. but also an indication so far at least of just how effective this missile defense systems are that ukrainians have. but of course,

they are continuously asking for more defensive systems because of course, these temperatures these winter temperatures continue to draw. we built a number of months at least 2 or 3 months of very heavy and difficult winter conditions ahead and potentially as millions of ukrainian civilians could be affected by these attacks. meanwhile, battles arrayed in, in the eastern ukrainian city of back, most recent footage, shows the extent of the damage there. last week, president brought him his lens. he said the city had been turned into court. burns ruins. russian troops had been trying to take the city full months in the u. k. many ukrainians of been welcomed into whole families face an uncertain future. the government as announced extra funding as refugees extend their stay through christmas m hayward reports from lincolnshire at the time of togetherness for so many this will be a christmas like no other for a loaner and her 4 children far away from the place they still call home they were

forced to flee the bombardment of their ukrainian town and came to the u. k. sponsored by a host family. this feeling that the voice chasing me, it's remain cole very long after we escaped. i'm obviously very glad that we were made these johnny and we are here and we we can leave though. i wish it had never happened. alona and her children lived with johnny and his family before finding her own house, but he still supports them. i think the thing that i found was to allow the recipes, the space to actually stiff the cover to find the for a white ford and assist them in,

in actually moving forward with the lives more than a 140000 ukrainians. arrived in the u. k. under the homes, the ukraine scheme. but there are increasing concerns about rising levels of homelessness among refugees in lincoln, the efforts to support people who come here and deliver aid back home this ongoing . but the uncertainty of what comes next is a worry. one couple, we spoke to who didn't want to appear on camera. told us they were asked by their host repeatedly when they are leaving. and we were told about a woman with young children who was given little notice to leave. she did eventually find another host, but 65 kilometers away. most of people are hey, with kate's and it's, it's really hard them to change again the school france and subtle in the, in a put new place without knowing if it's just with 6 months or we will change again . many ukrainians have found unwavering support from those they live with,

but worries of law are constant. sometimes we can forget for a moment about the war in ukraine, but of course we know that it is very difficult doubt. tough times that there are more can change very easily from laughter to tears from smile to some said mod. yeah, i missed them because i can be around them now. so yeah, not easy. but as the year draws to a close this time to reflect on what has been a life changing experience, both here and in ukraine, emma haywood al jazeera lincoln in northern england. u. k. military personnel are preparing to step in to cover for striking nurses and ambulance workers. more than 10000 ambulance staff across england and wales will walk off the job on wednesday, accounting for better pay and working conditions. nurses will ready on the picket lines last week and are set to stage another day,

long strike rail and border control staff went on strike earlier this month in our planning for the industrial action over the new year, health minister is aging old size to resume fresh as bringing a jonah hall who is outside when the hospital is in london, that's expected to be affected by the strike. joanna, 1st of all, is there any sign of the government backing down? no immediate sign of the government backing down no to the demands of unions for higher wages and better conditions. it would of course, be hugely damaging to this could have recovered to be seen to be giving in to the demands of striking workers. britain in the mean time bracing for a 2nd highly disruptive week of public sector, industrial action. a big numbers being taught to adopt full force around the cost for all of the economy, particularly retail them. hospitality is run up to christmas and there are real concerns as you say about the effect that nurses and paramedic strikes will have on

the health sector. the health service, the national health service that many say is on the brink of collapse. you went through a list there. let's just remind ourselves going on strike this week on tuesday, the nurses go on a 2nd day of industrial action, restoring faculties the most significant industrial action, the noses of us to take it in the history of the national health service. wednesday paramedics at ambulance workers will join them and as well as that customs and immigration officials, postal rail workers will go on strike. and it's going to go on to the new year with firefighters. and the teachers balloting for quite likely industrial action. in january, wealthy unions broadly speaking, say they're members of the sub. this government inflicted austerity, pretty much since he can on the crisis of 2010, low pay and real terms, wage conferences pay has not kept place. paste with inflation enough is enough. they say they will do this for as long as it takes, as their members now face an additional squeeze through a cost of living crisis,

high energy costs, and spiraling inflation. the government is remaining steadfast, as i say, not willing to give in. it warns that higher pay will only raise inflation further itself already eating into the pay packets of ordinary workers and in an apparent effort to win round public support. away from the strikers, the government warns with higher pay would have to be paid for with higher taxes. said, you know, how likely is it that will see the army actually moving in to fill cycles? shops will a government is, are holding another meeting of its cobra committee later this morning to talk about mitigations. it says it's waiting for health sector leaders to flesh out their plans, their commitments, to meet emergency the most urgent critical care and emergency calls on the ambulance network. they want more information about that to see exactly where gaps will be. the suggestion is that the army can sum up to meet, be used to drive and work the ambulance system that also be in theory,

brought into man immigration posts. when board of staff go on strike the army fair to say not best pleased about this is not the 1st time they've been called in. in recent years. the recording during the pandemic, of course, military officials say look, soldiers do not see themselves as the de facto back line for the public sector. and it's not clear whether they even have the skills base to be able to fuel the gap. so there's no particular solution there and with the government and unions at continued deadlock, as i said, this could go well into the new year and only get worse. john hall in london, thank you for laptops. sandia, where thousands of farmers are protesting in new delhi. they say the government has not fulfilled its promises. protesters are demanding more subsidies and support from the government, as well as better prices for their parties. pardon me, thom has more from the demonstration in new delhi, it's a massive show of strength, of farmers. here are they want to send

a strong message to the government. housing of them have gathered acktis valley in the heart of new jelly. interestingly, this protest, this valley has been called by a union that is. 2 closely affiliated with the governing bgp. now broadly speaking, that 2 issues over here, one is the set of 4 demands. farmers want the government to guarantee them better prices for they produce pc that costs have gone up for lasers. more expensive fuel is more expensive. on the other hand, their incomes have fallen, so they're really feeling the squeeze over here. the 2nd issue is that off field promises, you know, you may remember that farmers took out a yard long flow test against 3 agriculture laws that were passed by the governing b. j. p. in september 2020 pharma said that those last benefited big corporations and actually home them. those laws will eventually repeat last year. and the farm

was re cheated, but the farmers did bring out a set of demands and they say that those demands haven't been met. now on the other hand, the government says it is looking into those demands. it has formed a committee, but some farmers unions have boy coach those meetings because they have all those meetings in cynthia. let the 3rd variable at play over here, and that is upcoming national elections. it will be heading for elections in mid 2024. so heading into election, jo, experts say they're not sure whether they will be any solid agri policy that will address pharmacy concerns. but farmers do want to capitalize on this and make sure that they can really push the government into passing policies that actually help them at a time when they are really hurting. ah, sergeant in his national team, a football team on their way home after winning the well kept final in doha,

they beat france on penalties as a game and a 3 all after extra time. thousands of fans pack streets near the last day of stadium to catch a glimpse of the winning teams parade is the crowning moment for captain me and our messy delivering a 3rd title for argentina. bow pathic was watching all the action at louisiana stadium where curtains came down on the 4 week sporting extravaganza. oh, glittering clar, back to what the president of p for called the best world cup ever. it certainly was a tolliver to 1st the 1st world cup to be hosted by our booth slim country and a bit late the 1st to the flight in the northern hemisphere, winter or the 1st to see it african sorry, reach to so be part of the bottle of cut our 2023 covered, started with the country's national di, a big burden for cutoff frogs and ordered cedar. once the game started, argentina had the best of it. 23, but it said i'm girl 0 work tough is better to delay here to pull it up already

warburg was going to step up, need oversee, put a sorry to head that a boot fit for a workshop, pardo that he's a junior alvarez. he said, alexis, tell us the free urea put argentina to their head. it looks that way. i've been to the waterfall to sporadic attacks where the old argentina nicholas automatic, they bring down call up wadi. they've brought is my grand candidate back, right. i mean, it lights up book is to rub slick a part of gold. it was it of never going to look out of it extra time. the ball felt a little bitty in goldhill scramble technology go the goal, but it was clear, it looked like this is party barbara boss or the other read the buffet shots with hybrid particles. allah will go. and the buffering,

how does have penalties the goalkeepers moments? the video about theda is putting a started product or shopping things the corporate cake, a high pressure targeted for tina and for bessie alongside barrow donna at last the bourbon he had maybe been tested for from the 1st ard. he kicked at all. so i told him that so little message, argentina found by saudi arabia in the opening that ends with him lifting the world cup after finally achieving his dream of winning footballs, ultimate pride. and for, they told him an organizer, other people are caught our, they can look back on for wait. what i took on the challenge of hosting for both biggest party and julie delivered ra,

pop out al jazeera. i'm going to say i'm excited in doha, of a more on how the law says, thinking in for the french, less bringing po brennan, paul, a blue, mundane past. indeed there's a phrase at the french use good of why it's literally translated as a wooden face, but it's anecdotal it's, it's a, it's a hangover, essentially. and that's how the french a feeling this morning. bitter disappointments, after such high hopes for that final, the streets are relatively quiet. the schools are closed as the 1st day of the school holiday, but it seems from my side. but many people have taken the day off work because of the events of last nights. and because it's so close to christmas, i take you through some of the newspapers reacting to the events of last night. lapointe, the an earth they seem is called lay blue. and the fear the no blue basically means we're proud of our blues. and inside they did dedicate 20 pages of coverage and irrational and so cruel is one of the inner headlines for that la,

keep the sports newspaper and it's headline is let's out, which basically means are holding the head high at proud of kilian. i'm back bay and his team mates are in a at one of the enter the headlines. monumental is the way that they described last night's game. and just finally, la, figaro ent, donnelly jones is the, is the headline of that newspapers 14th paper. and the talking about the argentina team are passing into folklore inter legend. and underneath. lastly says the la panache, which is sir. sadness and the flare of killin and pappy trudging disconsolately past the well kept trophy there. now we watch the game last night with the whole group of people at the cafe bar within sights of the arc de triomphe. just very close to the chance eli say it really was a rollercoaster ride. let's have a look until france reached the last stages of this tournament. a french public had been somewhat ambivalent about this world cup,

but reaching the final is special and across france, the excitement and anticipation was intense. the game got underway, the 1st half, so france rocked on her heels. i argentina's ruthless intensity at half time. france was to nail down, the fans were reeling. we don't have the ball and we cannot really do anything. so i don't, i think it's going to be very hard the in the 2nd i've, but i still have hope in the hope turn to something more confident in the 2nd half by now those without seats stood those without space peered through the windows with barely 10 minutes left, the french fans were sent delirious by 2 quick fire goals from star strike herculean and bobby the game now level a 2 wall into the 2nd period of extra time, nail biting tension again gripped the supporters. messy put argentine are ahead with just 2 minutes left on the clock. bumpy again, sent the supporters into convulsions of joy. this welcome file had become

a genuine classic. but that left penalties and for the french it was to be heartbreak roller, coaster ride was finished. i feel a lot of you see i'm friends, but what was the best game i've ever seen? a lot of 2014. they are great, great. i feel very well because i, i never to the nationalities i am or i can tina and her friends are also a, was a here in the shadow of the arc de triomphe victory had slipped away. and that's the overwhelming sense is that very was snatched away, but the victory that was so close and that the people here are still extremely proud of the team and how close they came. and the fact that the game itself was

one to the age is frankly, an absolute classic of a world cup final and the french battles. so hard on bay team will come back to paris later on. on monday, there won't be a big parade. ah, because they are, of course, the loses in the final are those it possibly going to be an event. dana, to la concord, which is the bottom end of the sean silly se, details still not been finalized yet. um, but nevertheless that the people here france very proud of their team. it was a brilliant fine or paul brandon. thank you very much for that paul van. and live there in paris has sent to the dais, avenues now, and north korea says it's months away from completing the development of a spy satellite st. media say it's an important test and that it was conducted on sunday young young is aiming to finish the project by april. south korea's military says it's carefully analyzing the details along with the u. s. the couldn't give or do it is a lydy, it's not appropriate for us to mention every single public report on north korea.

however, based on the detection data, the south korea, u. s. intelligence authorities assessment remains unchanged. that north korea launched a quasi medium range ballistic missile yesterday. specific details have been comprehensively analyzed by south korean. and u. s. intelligence authorities regarding north korea's recent missiles development eunice came has more now from sol. north korea's k c a day is basically explaining the 2 medium range ballistic missiles that we saw fired into waters to the east or the peninsula on sunday. and they are calling this a final stage test for a reconnaissance a satellite spy satellite with the aim of testing, satellite photography, as well as various systems such as data transmission and ground control. now it says that the vehicle carried a mock side, a light, as well as multiple cameras, transmitters, and receivers, and was fired at a loft,

a trajectory of 500 kilometer is and the satellite images that they put out to you that you're seeing there. although they are quite crude compared to, ah, global standards, they are quite a progress from what we saw at the beginning of the year back in february they had conducted a similar us by satellite camera, test and back than it had only showed contours of the korean peninsula, and as you saw there, we saw the inch on port as well as the center of sol, which of course houses the sol presidential office. now speaking of his old presidential office, the national security council did convene a meeting on sunday in reaction to those ballistic missile tests on sunday. it convened them and it's continued provocations, as at potentially putting north korea at a harm's way on its own. the tiny, these searching for more than 30 missing sailors after

a warship capsized in strong winds, more than 70 crew members have been rescued from the gulf of thailand. 3 military vessels and a helicopter are searching for other survivors. officials say the ship suffered an injured malfunction. and was overturned in strong waves of the british government war, learn on monday, whether it's controversial planned to send asylum seekers to wanda is legal plan deportation. policy was suspended in june after a last minute challenge as spring and harry fossett was at the royal court of justice in london. so harry, a major test of a very controversial policy. what will the judges be considering? well, that's right. this policy stems from a decision made in april by the former home secretary under the conservative government here in the u. k, as she then called it a world leading policy. but it was criticized as immoral by the opposition labor party and others. it would have seen asylum seekers immediately put on

a plane to rwanda for detention and for processing of their asylum claims. and then i the deported back to the country of origin, all recycled in rwanda itself. it would have been a one way ticket out of the u. k. for any one arriving on to what the u. k. terms illegal means into this country. and so that was a stayed by a decision by the european court of human justice. the 1st flight was grounded not able to leave. and there all these separate challenges to it from a group of asylum seekers from asylum seekers at charities, also from the trade union that represents the civil servants who work on the u. k. is beautiful. so a do to find out just in the next few minutes what these 2 justices have decided having considered those applications, the u. k. government says that it will proceed with its policy. the prime minister risky su, knocked us last week announcing a new raft of policies targeted at trying to prevent the dangerous crossings by sea,

which have risen to some 44000 already this year. but whatever they decide it is likely to be appealed and could well end up in the european court of human justice for a final verdict, the question then will be next year. does the take government legislate potentially to withdraw from the european convention on human rights which would be an immensely momentous and controversial decision in itself? thanking for that harry facet, my very london negotiators have reached a historic deal at a un biodiversity conference in canada. and he said he percent of the wells land and marine areas have been put under protection by 2030 as the most significant effort made by government so far. the deal also finance is projects to save biodiversity in the developing world. and still ahead on al jazeera, gemini shame, peter stem. it reflect on that really well final and the legacy of 2020

it's done and we were so close to when the wall kitchen, when column one, he a genuine. and emiliano martinez did a fantastic save, but this is football emotion. you know that the next minute you can be a, you can be so high and the other one so low but the, but we're proud of our boys. we don't think we didn't know. we could go that 1st. you know, will us been same eyes? everybody knows the bottle door, a lot of players, 5 or 6, you know, half of the team regular and thus, and just to go there it's, it's, it's quite unbelievable this chore ways. of course, you know, with sad because we could have won it just at the end. but at the same time, you know, 2018, we were world champion, coming back in a fine and was in your generation. that's unbelievable. france, that was a highly entertaining matches, were lay. i want to talk to you a little bit about macy and mary donna right. we know that in argentina, madonna is loved and you know, almost like a god right. and may see they have been moments where the public haven't always loved him. is this now find me the moment that he is loved by everybody?

i think that now it's time for massive to to live marijuana. we also took a, we did the bud, marana had his time now, these time of mercy and is like way for example, a coach a before is colonial status. i was discussion was bilateral, may not be, may not be lot of different ways of training. different ways of playing. i know is colony one. it's i to on that before god. it's the same for you. i think god, for most people, leo needed to do with the got body or moon is like a god before these ah, it will be forever. and da da is talking a fantastic place. we will have to spare a thought for killing of that. we so they speak to us when he was given the golden bait barely could crack a smile for the photographer as he was se gosset after that hat trick on the leasing team. i mean, is he the best player in the world right now?

would you say, ah, was missy of course. yeah, i mean is younger. so of course his foster is got more dribbles, misuse, more awareness as he age. but yet they're on top of the of the world that the moment is quite incredible. what the achieved was going to be $24.00. i think tomorrow is got only 12 goals in world cup into walcott. that's unbelievable. e want a woke up and went to a final so yes, the next is the future of her wall. the wall football and, and is there any, any grew in stature over the over the years? you know, because 19 a wonder the title. but we wanted to see how we can improve, you know, and the, and his awareness is com against the i'm in front of the goal, you know, improve. so he is a, is a, is a war class players is entering the age of maturity, $24.23. so the best is yet to come. somebody's quite unbelievable. yeah. let you fly hine laser and you're gonna be taking a trip to the barbers. is that right?

what was the promise he made? your son is slain. i must go to the barber shop and shake my my my head because my son, i promised my son. so you promised your son a large and my son grommet, i will show the promise with him. so let's shave our head. we want to see that on instagram. i heard, so let's show you some more incredible pictures. now from sunday after the game, argentine avoided they team bus and paraded down the sale boulevard next to the stadium. combined with covers national. they celebrations. it was a real spectacle. and a very on john. i got your of skill was lucky enough to watch, messy, and he's he made us right by. i get like a little messy. as you can hear, the crowd is getting very, very excited. right. there is

a you can see the crown victoria can speak with . well, if you thought the crowds and cuts were big, take a look at the scenes in buenos ira's thousands will no doubt turned out to welcome the heroes home later on monday as well to rest of both or

a few days. and i'd be celebrating victory. 7 everyone, yeah, everyone here with people so bad. so what i don't know, well people right. our thing that he's much more to point out. it doesn't matter. i don't. i think that that that gave them the cup that gonna be waiting for him. that he know, i mean it's going to be arriving on monday. i'm a, oh i well, let's look at the legacy of this wildcat outside of sport. now more than

a 1000000 people in cats on tens of millions around the world watched this tournament, the government says this woke up was historic. not just because it was staged in the middle east, but for what it will leave behind osama bin job aid reports from healthier meals to satisfy cravings, intellectual sustenance, nurturing hungry minds. hello to this. but of course i was at this cafe in door. her speakers have been hosting weekly discussions on a variety of topics, including palestinian resistance and women's rights. i young people say they want to challenge stereotypes about the middle east in general, and other in particular. the owner of this cafe doesn't want to be identified because she believes only her platform deserves the spotlight. philosophy may enter on an open discussions, a very important what we have here is a platform, what we gather people and we spread knowledge. and we hope our platform will be bigger and more influential in the future. and what kind of check of the woke up

has been a catalyst for others move towards in knowledge based economy. and the sports industry is capitalizing on intellectual property. whether in merchandising rights or broadcast revenues, the broadcasting rights from the far will come or will be $3000000000.00 and i p rights and spots globally. right. reach $50000000000.00 sir 2 years ago. so there's a lot of connection between ip spots or cut us hesser ambition, ray, to be a technology in our andy center. it's well to enable an environment of growth and creativity, but as amended, it's labor laws. people's legacy plans include funding a labor excellence hub in partnership with the international labor organization, or the ilo works all over the world, and rarely do we see change happening at this pace. we recognize that significant progress has been made, but we also know that there are many challenges still. other utilities acknowledged reforms and either going to be temporary, easy or quick. that's where vision 2030 comes in a long term plan. so the work to improve things doesn't stop with the world cup.

one aspect is investing in aunts and culture, exhibitions, showcasing artworks from across the our world. another initiative focuses on catering for people with disabilities to ensure their included in mainstream activities. the governments, as the world cup is just the beginning. confident it's changed the perception of millions about them, at least now it's looking to diversify the economy. oh, it may have been a football tournament, but its legacy in putting in the region will remain for decades. examined the job without a 0 dollar and delighted to say, joining us on the sofa now is timmy ti davis, the us ambassador cutter and mohammed age, as the pakistani ambassador to cut a gentleman. but welcome to both of you. lovely. to have you hear me. i'm going to start with you before the tournaments because it was a negative publicity around the country. how do you think perceptions have changed now that the competition is over?

well, i think certainly this world cup has been one for the ages. it's been extremely successful. the quality of the matches were fantastic. recoveries were truly welcoming of the world. and so as i've said, a couple of other places they've created. now, millions of ambassadors for cutter and doha, and the kind of hospitality and welcome and majority that you find here in cutter. it has been a very enjoyable to them. and before we move on, i just want to play something. the u. s. embassy is released on social media like them and a low half the official ball of the 2022 world cup was made right here in the province of pockets. as are 2 thirds of the world's soccer ball. that is the economic power of the international trade g breeding's conclusion. she korea, thanks for the past people. job sport has the ability connect us culturally and

economically. i don't think we could have said any bass a into our conversation with the puckett family, ambassador mohammed, even though pakistan didn't qualify for this, will come, how much pride does it give the country to have manufactured the bulls that were played at the full cup a lot a lot, i think the fact is funny community and the box that the nation has been partnering with the cutter in many respects. of course, the ball is a much well known contribution by the, by the new manufacturers who have actually been contributing to the work up football's instruments and equipment for the last 3 or forward cuts. but also the contribution of the pakistani workers and semi skilled, skilled laborers in the construction of the stadiums in the bringing up of the infrastructure. and more recently the security provided on online security

and to see where security that has been a tremendous contribution. and we are very happy to be part of this amazing mega event and to meet the next 12 cup will predominantly take place in the u. s. do you feel like you have a lot to live up to now? well, i mean, it would be hard to do with the countries have done. the truth is that there's never been a world cup in this region or in one city. it's going to take 16 cities across 3 countries to do who are the next world cup. and we wanna take all the lessons that were learned from this world cup and apply them to ours. the innovations of this world cup of the counselors center that the carries opened here so that fans don't have to find the embassy of their country, but can go to one central location. these are things that will help make it safer and more fun for people visiting our north america in 4 years. and so lots silva

live up to the quality of the matches. we certainly can't control, but there are a lot of things that we learned here that will make it even more spectacular world cup and for gas. i think we're already looking forward to 2026 super honors on this other great woke up in the woke up does bring people together. mohammed, but we do live in a society. you could argue globally where we're more divided than we ever have been . to what extent do you think that the student actually served as a reminder that actually we have more in common than what divides us? of course, you know, we believe in sports, diplomacy and, and in the past we had heard about cricket diplomacy playing a similar role now got there has, i think very strongly strengthened it. sir. credentials do, bridge any gaps bringing the east and the west together at a time when you read rightly said it's most needed. and i think it is a time when the word has to look towards each other towards various regions towards various issues in ways which are non traditional but which are more in

conformity with the rapidly transitioning word it's, it's a difficult time, but they're all hats off to cut them, and to me, what do you think the lasting legacy of this wild capital they? well i, it's hard to know the impact in the immediacy after the tournament. but the truth is that simply by knowing the region better and knowing cutter better as a great representative of the middle east, i think it will promote understanding. i've said before. and as you noted with your 1st question that these conversations can be difficult. but anyone who tries to separate sport from the important conversations of society doesn't really understand why we come together in these ways in the united states are holidays like thanksgiving and christmas. when families come together. um and often find that they disagree about politics and society. but still continue to have the

conversation. this world cup is a great example of bringing people together for important issues, important conversations and a celebration of sport for how it brings. and not only families and fans together, but the world together. mama, just quickly same question to you about the legacy of this woke up. what do you believe it will be? i think the more stir amazing aspect which i noticed was how relaxed and how enjoyable the and why i meant was i spoke to so many fans in the markets on, on the stadium. and every one was really enjoying this partly connects to your 1st question that you know, the kind of for criticism that came in at least none of that was to be seen here. that's an amazing, that's an amazing achievement and amazing legacy that her got there has been able

to produce and it was not done or specific to of particular region. i think entity or fans coming from any part of the word. we're very happy. it really has been a fantastic target, has net mohammed to me. thank you so much for joining us for your timely we really appreciate it. thank you guys have enjoyed the tournament as much as we handy now. that is, so we've got time for remember there's more on our phase out there on the 4th that welcome to make sure you stay with al 0 throughout the day. we'll see you later again, but we will leave you with this. the crowning moment of linelle messes, incredible korea, leading argentina to a food world cup title, emulating the great, the yellow road honor and, and being a 36 year wait to be world champions. once again and more. the days news coming up, including this just sin london's high court says the u. k. government plan to send
