efforts to discourage the yearly practice, the farmers use it as a fast and cheap method to clear the fields in order to prepare them to plant winter crops. this is dw news lie from berlin up next is d w sports life. with a closer look at the controversy surrounding the 2022 world cup in guitar. and my colleague, eddie micah, will be here from the top of the next hour. don't forget, you can get all your headlines. 247 on our website, d, w dot com and you can follow us on our social media accounts on pablo phone. yes, i'll be back again tomorrow until then. take care. ah, will you become a criminal? ah, franklin may all ready news come to take,

told me about hackers, paralyzed me to your societies. computers that out some of you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go rules and for, and that's how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube. oh, you oh, oh, oh, i but football wilka bill come to katara.

but for more than a decade now, many have been calling for a boycott, especially in the western world to say it's a controversial issue is probably an understatement by god mentonite refusing to clinton with patent loves football. so let gotta have this little cup time for a reality check as to well, kevin katara is no longer just a plan but basically happening to morrow, shook the welcoming katara really be boycotted if so why? and what for or was this just pick, talk to ease the conscience. and in the end, we'll all sit in front of our a t, v 's because football is awesome. in case you're wondering what all the uproar is about, katara is often called the richest country in the world. natural gas and oil bound money teams is not the most pressing issue. katara has invested this wealth and to multiple activities in the world of sports. that didn't want to go on as

a lot. katara, doyle, d. v as a short lunch type, which tends to nila dish, and by red massage often once of i don't support our diesel ballad units, which will he won't mit difference by weight. massage of is in yet, cloudy, the course of off gallon had the airways is i and goes are ones are the one from ven, by 20 of these, of it to let's what the under, than, than the other ones or there oh, by myself. so hey, but what's wrong with wanting to promote your country, especially if you're not short on cash? well, critic said it's not always kosher. for example, when you buy a fif as votes with it, ha, corruption is inseparable from the 2010 decision to a war. katara the world cup 11 of to 20 to 50 executive committee members who voted on this have since been fined, suspended, banned for life, or prosecuted for corruption. in 2020 the u. s. depart of justice claimed that

katara had indeed bribed fifo officials to secure hosting rights. so as this world cup the well cup of corruption, we've always complied with the rules and regulations of people to the strictest offence. when people say, how did you in the world come in all the simplest answer and i, and i assure you, and i promise you, it is not said in any way with any arrogance. we were the best bit. now, whatever the truth may be, one thing catches my attention here. according to that same investigation, russia allegedly bought the 2018 world cup. and in a more distant past, there is quite some evidence that the 2006 world camp here in germany was bought to the stadium right behind me, was built for that tournament. and today, house champ is the game. in this stadium, plenty of fans enjoy watching our b leipzig take on p a g. and i wonder why all the fuss about guitar. if every country buys to welcome katara gets an unfair amount of criticism,

says my colleague, mark meadows, i think it's western european arrogance really to say that these are the sorts of country shouldn't host will cups. we know they'll put on a great welcome. we know every stadium will be fantastic. we know every pitch will be fantastic. transport will work, and we want to put the game. so let's spread the game more. let's tell the r will. yes, you are part of the football family and cut to have shown that commitment to football not only buying power sanji man, but also sponsoring barcelona. they have by munich there for winter training every year. they really have put their money where their mouth is. well, but not all fans are happy about that. money is their criticism. western european arrogance and is katara purely interested in promoting football. other say it's about sports washing. he's a sports washin, had katara kazi, perfect in years in katana give this kind of minus via this give classified,

the register for almost x. and then that was what you said, that mark, let's look at russia. russia isn't friendly to almost sexual is either. but there wasn't such a big, who about the 2018 local containers had bought it for mission money, which is a live on the bought it up. why do we point to our finger at guitar at? not so much at, let's say russia human rights issues on many levels plus and invaded neighboring ukraine. and what about the u. s. a. one of the 32026 world cup hosts a country where the death penalty still exists. is it what mark calls, western arrogance, possibly even bordering on racism? is this about double standards or does it have more to do with the fact that guitar abuse has so many? right, so blatantly one of the main reasons for international concern about the world cup

is how many people had to suffer and die to make it happen. katara is mainly a desert, but soon it will be a desert. a tightly modern world cup stadium is to its name in addition to a dozen of other major projects, including a new airport roads, public transport, hotels, and an entire new city that will host a well kept final. but it's how all this was built that race a lot of eyebrows internationally. british newspaper, the guardian claimed that 6500 migrant workers have died in guitar. most of them employed on well cub related infrastructure project compatible statistical. it is like a matter of instant holland out them. chavez cuffed him bits and senior storms and, and is fully one clowned me believe of the feel it would have faded up on the lake and the moment i went, i was spending shed in his room is about us to child relative horace and visible

fancy people tend on the field, is that what is felony self booklets and it's not just the dead workers that lead to concern it's the conditions for migrant workers in general does was in milton either had her and im tub is thus just about in dunce line in english so monday i was put in mention m as as high saw the skip kind of kima laga the skipped count . so as he, he can adjust nobody by those annoyance and can get on tardy. is hoyt of he gateway katara says it has reacted to improve the situation for guest work isn't now has better laws, the amount of work that went into legislation and the amount of work that went to the improvement of workers conditions, writes, ah, i have, have you know in my aarp, i'm in my opinion, are unprecedented. the speed of the way things have happened here. i'm fly doesn't see it would be the m and cut off. i give her would have a slight, doesn't it's and beneath because in,

inside doesn't dipped in that category. leslie took a form for finished it on had to ya to appear on gazette st. m. in their praxis is to m deberry at long fatima veterans english channels. where should the football world draw the line? should it draw a line at all? as to work up comes closer footballers themselves are standing up for human rights norway, the netherlands, germany here in march 2021 ahead of their welcome qualifiers. but what they not play when it's time to go to katara for the world cup. but they go as far as finish international, recall risky. he missed out on a friendly against sweden planning katara in 2019 and protest at katara as human rights record. i put in 2021. not just this norwegian comedian, but also norwegian fans and clubs representatives put pressure on their if a to boycott to work up

at a congress held in the summer of 2021, a majority voted against a board caught though an executive committee member of norway's f a had said prior to the congress, you need a critical mass behind. a boy caught an opposition that calls for it in the country to be for says not boycotts, but rather inclusion drives reform in a country awarding the well kept. katara has opened the door for a social progress there it says mother, look at that for president infant dino parade is recent reforms, allegedly improving migrant workers rights and car is it dialogue instead of boy caught that helps the way of changing the mind of victoria authorities is to kind of bring them in my mind more into the phone and say look, if you like that if you like that will what we've given you and you want to host other things in the future. owners in picks one day, then you have to be

a bit more modern and you have to allow homosexuality em, etc, etc. there is reason to believe that this won't work though china hosted the 2008 summer olympics hopes for a high that the event would have an impact on human rights. there have things changed? well, they have gotten worse beat for the oppressed muslim. we go to minority or for civil rights activists in hong kong. back in germany, these football crazy students can be bothered about guitar 2022. they will organize their own world cup with 16 amatory teams from around the world. when smithy about this dive in, dought mentalism recently created by the time for food could angry by managed in dublin management taylor from the my, this is miss dust us and what else must or in des, seeing ambulance conduct mohammed, paulette near you? buffy of ahem! vasa at sight, glazed often and shows titan, shut it,

but they won't watch the games and katara no semi final, no final, nothing only the live stream and post match analysis of their round tournament them this but it's can make them live also, he does come with this game new, if l a, me kind for bundled, a should simone, others for them love the stones. emma wooden ramesh beauman and gazande had her mail. so i hope not hope you not have been with us thrown than not us and osmond dublin viet in this medicine i t v beaten beers to manage my gunsmith. im assembled . jennifer spoke about him after, but i'm on a summer. shouldn't obstinate at ativa to happen on rain, so cannon and bus monday, the agen investment ange, transmit most of us will probably end up in front of our tvs once the ball gets rolling in katara. the world cup is simply too powerful, correct me if i'm wrong, yet this doesn't do anything for the terrible fate of katara migrant workers. or that if you're a homosexual or a woman in a country, you don't enjoy some basic human rights. katara needs to do much more if it wants

to live up to its claims of reform. pfeffer simply lacks clear rules for accepting world cup beds. if you had, i guess, as early as i was little india, d v l over my lorna depletion for different ab, an immense like little plots names. so why not have clear requirements and put all those nice principles from fif as website into place? what do you think about the controversial work up and cut hard? will you boy caught it or really just watch the games are there may be aspects i didn't even touch upon like this one. for example, 3 lions fans. listen up. the other aspect of course is that no vendor kicker. i don't think that's a problem. as an england fan, i think it might be actually quite good because england players are always completely naked when he comes to june. he play in the middle of their season. they're probably in top form, or will it come home to guitar minute they are the raining asian gentlemen.

what? yes, i understand what's behind them. d. w, news, africa. the show that the issues have been the continent. life is slowly getting back to normal. yeah. well, the streets to give you in the report on the inside our correspondence with on the ground reporting from across the continent. all the trends doesn't matter to you next d, w. d, you know that 77 percent of a younger than 35. that's me. and me and you and you know what? it's time of voices. what high? honda?

77 percent. we talk about the issues with the 70 percent in 60 minutes w. ah . what people have to say matters to us or me. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d, w versus d, w. news, africa coming up on the program as the war in a to p out finally over the warren parties, up finding peace deal in that. and then 2 years of civil war, we talk to why not on this to find out if the deal will hold. and if the country kind of reconcile also ahead.
