o. schmidt's was the nazis favorite. to musicians who lived beneath the banner of the swastika, assume about the sounds of power in story about survival. music under the swastika starts november 19th on d, w. o . 000008 got number 2022, the most controversial work up a full time. why?

well, just look at the bribery scandal or the outrage over workers' rights and human rights issues. but despite all the cost for a boycott, that biggest sporting events of all is still happening. but is that a bad thing? or are we overlooking the good? this world cup will make 450000000 arabs, proud. not just the 300000 categories. so let me tell you what football really means to them and why alex deserve this. what's called a test lab. it's gonna come in with an office id love for caught up in the lab at the forgot alicia when analytics and and then all football basketball falls in the market, i used in my homeland fia to football is a central part of life. i grew up here in damascus next to the biggest football

stadium in the capitol, which is not in use anymore. this please you was when, during the war in syria bands used to fin this place, like so many other stadiums and they out of board. i the funds have a great passion for football, not only for local football clubs, but put a range of international leaks and teams. i personally grew up watching the italian league with my cousins who passed their love for you rentals on to me. from when i was a kid, why it was you have rentals for me, for others is 30 on the breed. never. who are buyer? i don't, i don't know. i would have done it because i'm a long and for a long, long time for you. i'll possibly uh huh. and then i ask the lever a mom in your house long it because i'm not a valid on the amount of detail. but like, you know, i had my level of bizarre, but others,

she went into how the month of an intumescent and i'm says even was not going to was did it took the massage when i thought it was at any minute that was really no on my was stuff off that even as a little of the other she with her sitting o'fallon was auto urban. so imagine how walk up fever when hit everyone there with massive flag and car parade to celebrate their favorite theme. winning football is the main source of happiness for many people to get a lot of the lay of the deal. i'm with the joe was a few bought a lot and we'll said, yeah. and all of the headboard valuable man, it probably will give you more. what was awesome in lot of the model, hamilton and the winner to organize the 222 feet far volkoff. i still remember that they said not announced that cut our won the bet. ah,

it made me happy because it felt that faith i gave it to the ira ward and not just one company. you might be surprised, but football was brought to many our countries more than 130 years ago. that's why it's time to have the work up in an arb country. do you know how big this part of the world is? how many found what one has simply ignored. that art went to to our country, located in africa and asia before toward war one. the ultimate empire controlled a large part of the airport. and after the war, britain and france shared the mandate over our countries. if this had any benefits, it was an expanding football in beth region. first in north africa, you can say that north africa has been waiting the longest for this at a port cup. that is to debate other, which is the oldest football club there. but according to records, the constantine youth club in algeria was the 1st stablished in 1898,

followed by 6 that i did in egypt in 19 all 3, then olympic club, alley and examined it. egypt was also the 1st out of country to play at the woodcock, in 1934 morocco and to media have appeared at 5 previous tournaments. algeria has qualified 4 times, even beats in west germany in 1982. while egypt has also played at 3 wards cups, it seems that these nations profited from being on the right continent. it understood, i didn't know where did i know her billing because they're good warranty for a move on to set up the object, leora. so while you're in a still, we are all those countries have even bit to hold the wars cup miracle tried 4 times . most recently for 2026. and mohammed say,

dan could have played at home if egypt had one that had 2010 bits blue disorder, he accredited efforts. yes. a little. when you put your phone, bill will start and will have the whole charges of these football mad north africans have so far been denied their own walk up. they so are looking at cattle as their tournament. other parts of the art abroad deserve this tournament. to ease their pain and for sticking with football through thick and thin. from africa to the middle east. this part of the ward suffered and still suffers from war. and the economic and political crisis that came after that. one 1st arrives through missionary schools. seems where formed at schools and universities like crowded elmira and palestine and the american university in beirut in 19 o. 8 independent club sweat, coleman in beirut,

in 1924, and better that in damascus. in 1926. however, the very 1st in the region was estee lauder club in yemen. in 19 o 5, you could say that these countries were promised a better life, but politics destroyed the whole region. little war and civil war, sports facilities were ruined, but nothing could stop people's local football. in 1986, iraq made it to the wolf got, despite its war with iran, a got a kiss. how did she a jewish, what could be she? those war torn countries still play football every single day, whether in a proper stadium or in

a little garden with or without that explicitly having the worst company i thought will make them there to dream again. a callback mean cia. a lot. all with williams, i don't know. i said, i love that was that love on i was so what was the only on about the about football with it won't going to probably if i don't then i'll be, you know, i'm looking for the night or so i did. but then audio and under book i went up and going to lowball down bayshore. i'm the mom of this muslim for little guessing that's a lot of this is where civilization of thought that thousands of years ago. but this was cancelled, and history won't give you the worth cup, even if you're calling for the word once, when it comes to whole thing, the worst call money and smart relations are kate. that's where the wealthy gulf countries come in, cut our. so what really matters, defer until that chance,

in that sense, at least it deserves a 3rd amends. the oldest football club in saudi arabia is another established in 1916, followed by ality had in 1927. was the 1st club in petard, was laddie in 1950. the club posted played santo's, in 1973 coin was the 1st among the gulf states to make it to the was cut in 1982, followed by u e. e. in 1990 the country that will host a lot of guitar 22 visitors. ah, i think with the high, oh and don't leave with a finished finished with the, with the saudi arabia,

which came up with the idea of the confederation cup in 1992 was the only got the state to make it to recent work up qualifying 6 times since 1994, including this year, live with each other of the to love says with old republic. this only dominance lasted until katara became there, which is out of country and the 4th richest world wide per capita. before that, this small country was the poorest and the region. it depended on fishing until oil and then natural gas were discovered that ours ambitions grew bigger than its size . having a huge resources helped its aim, high economic and political stability. we're also a privilege that not all are of countries how. and despite the diplomatic crisis

between cotton and its neighboring countries, nothing could stop. this was gulp from happening. but when arabs actually be able to go to they work off normally at ups need the visa to visit other arab countries cut are makes it easier, but only if you have much to get out of host. of course, not all arabs would be able to attend this worth cup as it will be too expensive for many who have far from guitar. but if that's really the point, i give all of that, and then here we go next and how much idea i for that or so cal, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, this walk up will expand the game to reach everyone in the outer board. men and women boys and girls football can help societies develop in a positive sense, like in so done this with heavy so i mean,

does he need to have them come off of that is, is it is and the level that was at madison for the it with this young baby girl, but with what's more, the world cup will bring people and cultures together. so those who will visit gutter as their 1st experience of an our country will have that chance to not only tried the good food there, but to see what at ups are really like. and maybe forget to few stereotypes. so let's consider this award call for all arabs, because even people who won't be in cotton, whitfield footballs. biggest tournaments, closer to them than ever. 8080 years after the 1st world cup, it's now the upward stern to host a tournament. like old africans, americans, europeans, latinos, an agency, they deserve this honor. and it's got out,
