a little roughed up by police and in the scuffle. and it's part of a wider kind of protest but that's been growing in the country over the last few months that was sort of kicked off by not survives resignation well took a if who is considered an ally to next president now is of is expected to win these elections what signal does that send to the population well i think the signal that it's sending is one of continuity that's the message sent both to cairo and not survive press during this transition and it's something that has officials have said to me as well they're really trying to sell stability continuity to the population not change and given that the pilot is a staunch loyalist announcer bio's. and that now is a bio that even though he's resigned from the presidency he's still very much in power and will continue to be in power as one of the most influential people in the country so that's really watch what that signal is this and this is not a moment of change this is not a moment for any kind of political opening break where does that leave the kazakh

opposition. well there isn't really much of an opposition left in the country you know 30 years of no surprise rule has eliminated any kind of organized opposition or driven it into exile the last few months have been interested in the country because they've seen a new wave a new type of city in games meant to activism especially coming from younger kazakhs those that are born out of the collapse of the soviet union and during that span that not only held protests and shown their dissent but they tried to organize a kind of loose political movement but they face some pretty tremendous obstacles moving forward and will likely continue to come under pressure both today and in the future you know there's not really much democratic infrastructure in this country so they're really trying to build something from scratch which is extremely difficult to do. standish kazakstan thanks very much for that update. now to some of the other stories making news around the world in sudan opposition

well i wouldn't say so quite because germany as you mentioned our favorites in this tournament and they struggled a little bit early on and didn't really put in a dominant display that we saw for instance from france were another one of the favorites you could argue germany is still sort of feeling it out because their coach has only been there for 6 months once you have a startling book and 15 of the squads players have a play in the very 1st world cup tournament so it might take them a little time to find their groove but let's take a look at the highlights from the much. germany almost got off to a dream start with this opportunity in the 3rd minute on a day brits firing just inches one china had a chance 10 minutes later one showing sharon should have pulled the trigger sooner i do it in conduit deflecting the shot in the nick of time. china came agonizingly close again is young lead curled in exquisite effort into chills post i made huge lead off for germany. germany's big break

arrived in the 2nd half of dawson college a corner was cleared but only as far as julia when the midfielder smashing home to put her son died in the lead for good. one nil the final score and coach martina fostex lim board could be happy that her team came away with a scrappy victory. time much tighter than expected victory there but what a moment to julie what tell me about her performance yet while she was the highlight and otherwise disappointing performance from germany especially germany's defense does look pretty shaky and as we saw allowed china a few looks on go for her though a world cup debut at the age of 19 straight off to a flying start scoring their big high hopes attached head of this tournament so perhaps also very good to get the pressure off early on and all reports in rem actually caught up with her off the match let's hear what she had to say. and very

happy it's still very cool to score gold at their world cup and. i've got this many credit congratulations and it's a beautiful feeling. wow good on her that's like so young so doing so well strake starting to say that nigeria also took on norway is there any signs there that nigerians can lay serious kind thanks challenges well my dear it was seen as sort of an outside shot and it didn't look too great yesterday because norway who was one of the clear favorites and have won the world cup. obviously in 1905 again have a good squad early on they go to grow. and good writing scoring early on and 3 goals in the 1st half and that pretty much put the game to bad i do think nigeria in the 2nd half found themselves a little bit more and we could see them challenge other teams in the tournament but against norway they want a threat and this is a no way sides who are missing their best player other hagar back at the bottom door one of the 1st female bombed or when the who hasn't been playing for the
