coming up in the next 60 minutes, more sanctions and more military 8 you leaders are in cave, but in your membership is not on the agenda. united states says is tracking a chinese spy balloon flying over its sensitive sides. most recently, in montana. the head of the catholic church has left democratic republic of congo, and it's our arriving in south sudan. cleaner, seized by 2030 scientists and stakeholders, meet in canada, aiming to protect 30 percent of the world's oceans. and i'm santa ha motion. i have the latest from the fif at club woke up in morocco. as local fans get ready to support home side with ad casablanca, they tend to become the 1st african team to win the torment we're going to begin in q for a european union and ukrainian lead is

a meeting for the summit that is intended to be constructive and symbolic 17 senior e. u. officials, including the european commission and european council presidents are attending. it's the 1st time such a summits been held in a country at war. natasha bottles, joining us live now from keith. natasha. there's going to be a lot on this agenda, isn't the yes indeed. and you leaders and day ukrainian officials, including, of course, are present for low to mid lensky. have been deep in discussions for several hours now. we are hoping to hear from them, or as the day goes on, asked what they decided, we know that there was a lot on the agenda. ukraine certainly wants to know more about its aspirations to become a member of the european union. it's candidacy for the block was approved last year in june, but it, once it's membership talks negotiations to be fast tracked to be spread up. that is

unlikely to happen. a you leaders say there are a number of conditions and criteria that must be fulfilled by any country to become a full member state, including things in a, the media law, judiciary and corruption are key, has nor to huge anti corruption. dr. corruption, a real problem in ukraine for many years now, a number of top government officials were forced to resign just last week and that is being praised by a you leaders. but they say, look, that is just a 1st step. of course, there is still a lot of work to be done. a lot of other things though, being discussed, including a more sanctions on russia. another package in the coming weeks. the e u says also money for things like reconstruction, rebuilding ukraine, so much of the country has been badly damaged in this war, which is now nearly a year old. natasha. thank you very much indeed. natasha bother talking to us from

keith. we're going to bring an osama binge of it has live for us in moscow. so our sort of underlines been saying that more sanctions are on the way. and vladimir zalinski is saying it's just not happening fast enough. i was russia reacting to all of this but there haven't been an immediate reaction, but we've heard from the kremlin in the last few hours, seeing that what it wants to do is, quote, protect its interests from emerging risks. and this has been the idea that russia has been portraying as sort of a view of defiance in the wake of all of these sanctions. it's not just been able to sustain much of its oil production, but it's also been able to find new markets for its oil as the sanctions multiple rounds of these have come into effect the later in the next 48 hours, which are going to be implemented by the european union, we should sanctions on petrol. is that a diesel product? we've been hearing from the russian president as well on the tone of how the year

has passed. that doesn't put, and we're seeing that after 80 years, the russians are going to be facing tanks from germany, once again with crosses over them. and the countries prepared to go any length to predicted interest and it's people. so it, it feels like that as this war comes to me, a year old. the defiance hasn't subsided, and russia is trying to be inventive in ways, but it can not just sustain the sanctions that are being imposed, but circumvent them as well. or some not been generated in moscow. thank you. ukraine's national olympic committee meeting to discuss a possible boycott of next year's paris games if russian athletes are allowed to compete. international olympic committee is considering letting the russians take part under a neutral flag, as senior ukrainian officials said that would give russia a platform to promote genocide. several countries have indicated they would be willing to join ukraine in

a boycott. the pentagon says it's continuing to monitor a balloon that's been flying in u. s. air space for the past few days. the american military says it suspects china is using it for spying ahead of secretary of state entity. blankenburg, visit to ben jane next week. katrina, you has the latest from bridging. i have no idea what it is. it's not the moon and it's not a star says the curious montana resident who shot this video from his driveway on wednesday. the pentagon says this is the chinese surveillance balloon. seemed so brazen and just so insane to me that that anyone would even attempt to just push a balloon over the sky. because to me, it was just like this thing is so visible, the pentagon says shooting the balloon down could put lives at risk on the ground. and it's not a significant threat from an intelligent standpoint. i think that it would be ridiculous if the government didn't retrieve it. i mean, obviously,

i think that's the 1st course of action is to get it out of the sky through whatever means they need to. how speak, kevin mccarthy tweeted, china's brazen disregard for you. a sovereignty is a destabilizing action that must be addressed. the spokeswoman for the chinese foreign ministry says she hopes the superpowers can resolve this matter. calmly was not johnny. i liked his dress, that before a becomes clear what happened. amy deliberate speculation where hyping up will now help handling the matter. the surveillance balloons arrival coincides with you a secretary of state antony blinking visit debating next week. tension has been rising on the status of taiwan and the theft of intellectual property. a pentagon official says, this isn't the 1st time china's launch to 5 lou, but this one has state of america s face longer. katrina, you al jazeera baiting, the balloon said to have been flying over the u. s. for a couple of days. it was 1st seen over the aleutian islands in the us state of

alaska. american and canadian officials say it then flew through canada and back into us aerospace. it was spotted again this time over the city of billings, montana, a commercial planes fly at an altitude somewhere between 9012000 meters. buick fighter jets typically don't fly above 20000 meters. the u. s. military says the balloon is way above thought. height, surveillance, balloons usually operate above 24000 meters. we can even go as high as 37000. what company whole could join his life not from the white us? this is slightly surreal. feeling to all of this to renew any more about what's been going on. yeah, well, i can tell you that the pentagon is watching this very carefully. we have a statement from the breeder, general pat rider. and what he's telling us is that the pentagon is tracking this and they have been since it was 1st identified by ordinary folks who were just

looking up in the sky and wondering what they were seeing up in the air space up in montana that is in the northern part of the united states, kind of in the mid west area as you go towards the canadian border. and what we can tell you is that this is some pretty low tech technology. it's kind of going out of fashion in terms of spyware, in terms of intelligence collection, usually the means of intelligence collection is really more in the form of satellites, but this is still something that is being used in. so the u. s. government is monitoring it, it is moving as you point out well above the commercial air traffic. so the pentagon says is not too concerned in terms of any sort of mid air collision that might happen with any passenger jet or anything of that nature. but again, this is a concern given the fact that this is something that is been put into us aerospace by of foreign state actor. and that of course is something that is of great concern

to the u. s. government, kimberly, or as far as i can tell at the moment, the balloon is still flying over the bureaus toto tree, an indication of what the us is going to do next. now. well right now the u. s. is simply monitoring it and tracking it, but what we know is that this is something that has occurred before the united states has monitored these in recent years over guam over hawaii. and what we also know is that at this point, there is no intention of shooting it down if you will, because of the risk of what could happen to those folks on the ground. the debris could potentially injure people, as this is, is to land. so the idea is this could potentially just drift back out of us, aerospace and, and kind of solve itself all together, at least that's the home of the usaa military. at this point, what we are watching very carefully is to hear from the u. s. president. he is

going to be speaking about his economic agenda in the coming hours is going to be leaving the white house traveling to philadelphia. we're going to try and get a little bit more information from him in the coming hours as kimberly hoggard at the white house. kimberly thank you. on congress, fully reopening his border with mainland china from monday it's dropping visitor quarters and pre travel covered 19 tests. it's also gonna allow unvaccinated travelers to enter, if not for 3 years. hong kong had maintained some of the strictest rules for visitors. it's now launched a campaign to look back tourists. did hi there yet, a full opening of the border means firstly, there will be no limit on the number of people at old border crossings. you feel you no need to make prior reservations and you can travel freely as you want. healing his army in 2023 hong kong will be more prosperous and exciting with a more vibrant market and the more joyful society that would richer. kimber reports are from hong kong and why the tourism industry could be facing

a long road to recovery. the hello from hong kong award city like no other expense. the warmest welcome to you. as far as an invitation to the world from hong kong leader john lee. these fronting a multi $1000000.00 campaign to put the city back on the map as a tourism and finance or after to most us few years. yeah. months of empty government street protests in 20. 19 that to a correct down on descent and the introduction of a controversial national security law. the government then imposed some of the will strictest coded 19 rules during the pandemic. the result of public exodus local businesses have taken a beating and the city recording its biggest population drop in 2022. hong kong economies drank 3 and a half percent last year. that's the 3rd contraction in the last 4 years. and that's adding to local concerns that city is lagging behind. rival,

asian financial centers, such as singapore, the government says it's time for a turnaround. it's handing out hundreds of thousands of free flights and more than a 1000000 spending vouchers and scrapping all remaining cobra. 1900 border restrictions with the chinese mainland. i don't see. you can see the streets getting a bit busier, but i think there is still a lot of hidden worries. business confidence still seems volatile and it's hard for people to feel they have enough money to save you. we have to wait and see, but we'll just try to stay positive and just see how things go. one sec to that can't wait much longer is the tourism industry. local travel agents have been organizing networking events to get back on track. hong kong received 56000000 visitors in 2019. in 2021 arrivals slumped 290000. we have done so could tours with government government support, but we've been losing money left by santa and be held to stop the bleeding this

year. hong kong is one of the world's most beautiful cities. hong kong is stand up, kid, come back, kid will always come back. generally is kick starting that come back campaign with a trip to the middle east. on saturday, he's leading a business delegation to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. he says it's time to share the great stories of hong kong and make sure that will knows the city is finally open. the business again. richard kimble al jazeera in hong kong. for the more i had on the news r, including, we're going to look at what's driving a dramatic increase in attacks by settlers on palestinians in the occupied west bank and find out what the alien stock exchange has limited share trading. and one of the country's biggest conglomerates, and this is trillion tennis targets, are lucky escape after pleading guilty to assault john is going to have the details later on the program. ah,

this is arrived insulted, and on the 2nd leg of his african trip lease of pictures from the capital juba, the pontiff is going to spend 3 days promoting peace and reconciliation and awards . youngest country, which has been scarred by civil war and poverty hours before he arrived at least 20 people were killed, an inter communal violence, according to the information minister. while johnny was on set, his allan boswell, his horn of africa, director for the international crisis group and host of the podcast. the horn, allen, good to have you were this. there's been a 5 year war or 380000 dead. this is a crucial time for this visit for said sir dan young south to the end of the country where it's almost hard to even pick out the challenges. they are so huge. i the country top the list of most corrupt countries in the world. the conflict has been absolutely terrible and essentially got independence in 2011 fell into civil war. got out of the civil war. but violence is actually continued decline and much

of the country. and now the food in hunger situation continues to grow. the w p saying it's actually the hungry of south needs. have been since independent . i want to ask you about the food situation and the social situation in a moment. but with regard to this vision, i mean, back in 2019, the pope created a storm around the world because he kissed the feet of president solver here and 1st vice president re much as he was. and in order to try to persuade them to put aside their differences and stop the violence, the fighting still goes on. people must be wondering what else the church can do to try to bring some sort of end to the fighting. yeah, i think i think there's visits and it's such the pope, it's also the head of the, of the, the anglican church, as well as the moderator of the presbyterian church. and it's really comes from a cry from the churches in south to then who have seen the state of their country to, to rate so,

so terribly and have been feeding with their leaders. the 1000 people have been putting their leaders to try to make things better. they have implemented a piece deal. they find in 2018 at a very top level. they are able to do power sharing. but they've basically implemented almost no other parts of the agreement. the leaders and there's a variety of leaders, but they're all implicated more or less and, and a lot of the violence that takes place in a lot of lot of the country. so for sure, the churches visit the pope's visit. i think it's to try to encourage and south things people, they've obviously been very long suffering a things to encourage the churches as well. but there is obviously a tough says, i think they, they want to deliver to the, to the leaders as well after this. very powerful, i'm kissing of the feet that the, that the pope did, which kind of shot at the world a shot to the leaders on. but then we've seen in a south things of been very disappointed in the performance of their leaders. since since that it, it's difficult to imagine for somebody who's on the outside of what would be going

on in the rooms than, than the discussions that will be taking place. what they, that the pope and his entourage and those with him would be able to say what kind of pressure that they're able to bring on the 2 leaders. what is that? there's very little clear pressure you can bring. um, i think obviously i that the church hopes to, to somehow appeal to i to them from a, from a spiritual, from a, from a more a level arm and also to encourage the church. i can say south sudanese and i the church, i think to a degree and, and diplomats are hoping, you know, honestly they're hoping for a miracle in the sense i think i think that the, the, these church leaders, including the pope will be i are pushing for the leaders to really make their country better and, and many diplomats hope that there's a push to tell them if they haven't, you know that maybe it's time for them to step aside and, and let others trying. the balance is only part of a cycle and sad sudan as it is in many other countries in that are affected by situations like this, but you will talk, you were mentioning earlier,

the problems with food security there been, i think for what 4 years or so of continual floods, which of devin disrupted the harvest and of course the violence is not and helped with that you end up with this cycle don't shoot for all of continual problems. it must be very difficult to find a point of which you can break that cycle effectively in order to move the country on. yeah, i south ease of really struggled. i mean, in essence they'd, you know, when they got independence, there was sort of a botched independence could see, they say they fell so quickly into civil war. i was, i was there when they, you know, when they got independence in 2011 and there is so much hope there is so much optimism on a, but they had huge challenges ahead. and the sad thing now is that they are so much further back. i am in terms of development, but also in terms of their social cohesion and ethnic tensions are extremely high. and so even getting back to where they were in 2011, feels like a really, really steep road for thousands. and like you said, it's, it's,

it's proven especially difficult because without necessarily the political leadership, many of them want to see it's difficult even know how to start to change. and there's a lot of good will, i think in there was from the international community. but, but there and they can't figure out exactly how to help really interesting to get to thoughts on his own goals will. thank you very much and for being with us on all 0. thank you. there were more than $800.00 attacks by israeli santos and palestinians and the occupied west bank last year. writes groups is a growing sense of impunity is feeling an increase in violence as binding stress reports from near ramallah. many victim say there's no point and even finding police reports the ambulance crew were lucky to escape without serious injury when settlers threw rocks at their vehicle last week. they were called out at re palestinians who been injured when settlers attacked a village in the occupied west bank. and i'm a talk minister. i didn't think we would make it out of there alive. and i mean, we were driving between cars that were on fire and i would never have expected that

they would attack in ambulances. there were an average of 17 settler tax a week on palestinians in 2022, a 170 percent increase in 5 years. according to the un poses with israel's new governing coalition, including foreign ministers, elected by settlers. many palestinians say the violence will get worse. the us government says it opposes settlement expansion and the legalize ation of outposts . but these railey government is promising to do just that. those new grey and white apartments over there are illegal settlements right here in the heart of the west bank. and last year just 3 percent of police cases involving subtle violence resulted in a conviction. farrah salamis from an israeli group that monitor settler attacks. he says they now have no fear and come right into the villages pocket and shot him there in bolden because his railey law enforcement gives them impunity and the power to carry on an escalade. when there is no accountability,

the attacks increase and so does the violence to day because they are in a position of power. when the government, they feel more immune settlement started appearing, not long after israel occupied the west bank in the 1967 arab israeli war. there are now around $290.00 of them all illegal on the international law. the settlements in blue on this map, a gradually expanding and will eventually joined together a tactic, palestinian official half under glass says was used when israel was found it home with them up when we did. the outer haiti follows that. they want to implement and plan to transfer palestinians from areas close to settlements. seen similar to that in 1948 when sinus gangs committed massacres and instill fear to drive palestinians out of their homes. today we have another attendance and you gangs new names. price tag, hill top uses you name it. as you know, settlers have been charged in connection with the attack on the ambulance on saturday. israeli police say they'll investigate the incident,

but have yet to make any arrests. bernard smith out his era, ramallah. sorry for the weather hears everton. hello. it's still looking a little disturbed across the good part of the middle east, particularly across northern parts of the region. bands of rain, sleet, and snow, still tumbling in from the east side of the mediterranean, across to live at syria, lebanon jordan, seeing outbreaks of rain, quite a brisk wind, pushing its way across into northern pass over iraq and easing further east. which as we go on through sunday, we'll see some snow there coming into afghanistan at that state. more wet weather, more windy weather, stormy weather streams. and across the eastern med cyprus, seeing some lively storms for a brisk wind pushing through. and that's the case too. as we go into our syria, notice a fair bit of snow. they're across a good part of care for the south denver dry winds easing off here, and carter though hard around 2122 over the next couple of days. so that stormy

ah, how do you state controlled information? how does the narrative informed public opinion? how if this is internally, can we framing the story? the lithium post dissects the media. we don't cover the news. we cover the way the news is cover. february on i'll just either rhinos in tigers, in the pool, post to the brink of extinction. one or one he's discovered how they're 14 happy turned around a year. alden from brussels, evasion of ukraine. alger 0, looks at the impact, asks where events might lead from here? rigorous debate, unflinching question. up front muslim on tail cut through the headlines to challenge conventional wisdom nigerians vote. and what's likely to be the most closely contested election in the country's history. from those that will dictate those who confronted people. in paula investigate the youth and abusive power

u. s. air space. officials say the craft was flying over sensitive sites. canada's government also detected the balloon. peter laden's, military and defense expert now explains what kind of information the balloon could be gathering. i suppose that the, that, that, the balloons tracking over i strategic nuclear missile field, and that, that, that contains about a $150.00 missile silos or so the blue might be, might be picking out information about those mas also as hell. i are dispersed how they are spread out. that space by systems can certainly do just as good a job, except perhaps in the monitoring certain com notation systems. and these are, these are all lot of side. and they peps upright at an irregular intervals. so the balloon could be i signals intelligence system designed to what, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu optic? those are also bear in mind. the balloon is if you like because it can be to

a certain extent, steed, although that's i it. but certainly affected by the wind and a can a same and a decent a bit. the balloon is very likely sending a data back through through i wireless network if you like, a to a satellite in space and then and then on to china. so a control in china could be both monitoring and to a certain extent, controlling the book, but balloons progress. and they seemed to have been several balloons pass over the the united states earlier. but the other site has kept quiet about this. although having full china that they don't wish that we should be 7 anymore. so this, to a certain extent, this perhaps is an accident or i intended that the life and during the die that this object is visible from, from, from the, from billings protecting the world's oceans is seen as a critical part of the fight against climate change. scientists, a marine experts are coming together at a congress in vancouver to charter course to secure our seas and help protect

marine biodiversity. here's our environment editor nick clark. looking in from space, you can see why we call us the blue planet. yes, oceans cover. 70 percent of the world we live on and they are a critical resource. indeed, life below goes far beyond the beauty of this extraordinary by diversity. the oceans play a huge role in regulating our planetary systems storing carbon for example. they also help shape climate patterns. and of course, are a lot of for the well providing protein for 3000000000 people and an income to at least 10 percent of the world's population. so the oceans are provide a main source of food for the last larger portion of our planets. so if we think about fisheries, just in the tropics alone, we think that's tropical fisheries. employ about 200000000 people. so that's directly and indirectly livelihoods. that depends on fishing activity out food, food, and fish, in particular,

is the main source of protein for any of the vulnerable coastal communities around the world. and in addition to providing the source of food, the ocean is also a key regulator of the global climate system. bucks the oceans are in trouble. reefs a dying ecosystems are collapsing fisheries. a disappearing drastic measures are required. currently, less than 9 percent of our asians have some form of protection and that's often not even enforced. 30 by 30, the plan to protect 30 percent of our world's oceans by 2030 ames to more than triple that with better oversight too, it would be a kind of global network of protected zones that could have a dramatic effect on restoring ecosystems by diversity. and fish populations, what we have there is an international efforts to, on the one hand realized the value of our oceans. both in terms of, by the vested the regulation of the climate and the value for people. and we have discussed with efforts to protect the ocean from our human activities. ready there

is a substantial challenge because there is, as you know, a lot of human activity in the ocean, so that means displacing that activity and perhaps limiting it and therefore the livelihood that depend on those activities. so it is quite a complex challenge to, to achieve. it is counter intuitive, but the evidence is if you protect more, you can catch more. the bottom line is what's good for the ocean is also good for us. and the world we live in a congressional committee in the philippines has endorsed a bill to protect marine areas and the contested south china sea, where beijing claims several islands, the sparkling islands and scarborough shawl are among the richest fishing grounds in the country. but officials say chinese activity is endangering the ecosystem of the reef, ought to be low reports from manila for 30 years. now, scientists from the university of the philippines, marines, science institute, have been serving damage to marine life in the west. philippine sea part of the south china sea within the philippines,

exclusive economic zone. this underwater footage of dying reefs was taken during recent expeditions. the destruction has been most extensive in the last decade or so. coral reef are no longer there. coral east have now become islands and those are manmade islands. so the reclamation of that now putting off additional sentiment on top of those reefs definitely killed those. reese says 2013 china has reclaimed nearly 1300 textures of land in the spread lease. according to the asia maritime transparency initiative, chinese coast guard, and fishing vessels also have an overwhelming presence. this video shows philippine of fishermen being driven away in early january. china continues to play most of the south china sea, despite a 2016 international ruling that favored the philippines. aside from scientists

here, the philippine governments intelligence agency, has done its own study. a senate employee last year revealed that the estimated cost of china's reclamation activity. so far is $650000000.00 in an effort to save the west philippines see from further degradation, legislators want parts of it declared marine protected areas. they said the measured doesn't target any specific country. the proposed law will place a temporary ban on fishing. filipino fissures unions are concerned, fishermen in the area will lose their livelihood, but proponent, say that won't be the case. nobody will stop them if, if there's only an area that we will declare as of course zone where there will be no movement when cyber, nobody will be allowed there. but on the surrounding areas, everybody against going to go visit. the question is how to enforce to law. china has never acknowledged the legitimacy of an international ruling. barnett below al

jazeera manila, the u. s. will soon resume imports from one of the world's largest palm oil companies based in malaysia. so i'm darby plantation, but blacklisted by the u. s. government over allegations of forced labor forms that we reports from calling them for palm oil is used to make a range of products from chocolate to cosmetics, making it the wells most widely produced and trained it vegetable oil. but to palm one plantations don't have a good reputation. activists have accused many companies of deforestation and labor exploitation. the world's largest palm oil company by land size size darby plantation has had his products banned from us markets since december 2020, because of suspected abusive labor practices. the malaysia based company took measures to address this, including appointing consultants to audit its processes and facilities. andy haul is an independent migrant workers rights specialist who was contacted by sam dowdy

plantation as an advisor on ethical recruitment. it's quite a deterrent impact. so it's led to a lot of improvements across malaysia, across the industry, across the country because other companies are worried that they may face similar action in not being able to sell goods to the u. s. market another's had significant pickup from investors who are also really shown a lot of interest in this risk. this increased risk that malaysia is seen as such a high risk country for systemic labor migrant workers. one of the biggest problems is recruitment fees, often so exorbitant that migrant workers are forced into a years long debt. it's an issue in many other industries that rely heavily on migrant workers, such as manufacturing. even though some companies including sine darby plantation, have set aside millions of dollars to compensate or have compensated current and former migrant workers. active is say, the practice is still rampant, and recruitment costs are increasing. other abusive labor practices include

excessive over time and unsanitary living conditions. the malaysian government has announced a plan to eliminate abusive labor practices by 2030 but there are many challenges ahead. the reality is all these liberal reforms i actually inspired by external bridger, ah, it's either a free trade agreement is pushing it, it's a external goal, months enforcement bodies. and you know, you're forced to, to make these changes. so i hope that you know, the militia government and the people are really so we'll look at migrant workers. we will not discrimination principles are only been label is on par identity will not be spaces for falsely by activists here. say 1st, this announcement that a big plantation company is no longer using. forced labor is a small step in the right direction. florence li,

advantage for us? not just why dad fans, but the whole country would be behind the team. without origin story is one that informs the feelings. this team inspires us and the french occupation accessed the sports facilities was limited. so in the mid 1913 americans formed that own club without off let it be done, like a waterfall like thing, but quickly expanded to include football, the side went on to become a symbol of the nationalist movement. whenever they play, mohammed has supported the scene. all his life for him without will always be a club. that's about much more than just winning trophies when it's ready and then we did go ahead and say, hey, why dad is a source of hope. a source of love, me, it gives me a vision of a beautiful world and it's how i breathed how i forget the problems of life. after a week of work, i get to go on an adventure with my love. it's a love that can only be understood by those who have grown up with this club,

we can buy that there. but if they're forming at home as not being fantastic, you know, they are, they're doing well. i'm in the 2nd, you know, behind we're going out those, i'm not sure, but they are the last a few days ago in saudi supercop. so they don't come in on great forms. yes. they traditionally, in recent years they've had, you know, they provide so many place the national team, but there's a bit a few injuries. so i think it could have been better shape. you know, how important do you think this competition is for the asian team? i think creating teams adjectives for the african team. it's very, very important. we, we know south american teams take it very seriously as well. i think it, you know, again, historically, maybe the europeans are the ones that don't take it seriously because it's a creation up into the play again when the best plan in the world,

which in most times we don't get to do that. you know, it's more often you get to play, there's like real madrid. so let me go or european champions. so it's very, very important. and it is something that you know, until are, for example, believe that this is the lever that they are out there. definitely in asia, that is one of the best teams in the world, and this is the level that they should gap. so it's very important until their function. so do you think that the 2025 expansion will give them more chance to look for asian teams? to take part yes, i will wait to see how that works out. you know, if it will give, obviously more clumps the chance to, to play and experience what it is like to play against. like, obviously, you know, magic city or liverpool or last loan, are you on imagine those big clubs, you know, so you know, the expansion will give will give more asian teams backgrounds. you know,

until recently again, you know, probably a lot of the, some of these teams are, those are the ones that are benefiting from, from the agent tramps. although like the center, thanks to you know, the, the power shift has come to pick to the western zone of asia. so we hope by a, by the time of the expansion, you know, maybe more clubs from the region. we're benefit from that. it's highly, highly 4th editor for news. thank you very much for that. the winner of the match between with that casa blanca and al hello plays semi final guess, brazilian side, that flamingo. oh, on there's a fleming. go. fans have gathered that the rio de janeiro airport to bid farewell to the side as they make their way to morocco. flamingo will play the 1st game of the torment on february, the 7th. there were runners up in 2019. the other semi finalist,
