nell. although several high profile stars refuse to perform at the opening ceremony, it boasted of variety of local and international acts and was hosted by us actor morgan freeman, the headline performer with cape op star, sean cook. in his speech at the stadium, katara is ruling amir spoke of celebrating diversity at the tournament. all fans from around the world have been arriving in the gulf nation ready for the action to finally begin. these scenes are familiar to any one who's seen a world cup football fans from around the globe arriving at a host nation in mass, ready to cheer on their country. oh, in for the fans that have made the journey to katara the excitement it's palpable. mom knows rosalind brazilians are really into this world cup. i think this cup is really going to surprise every one to bring the or burbs. but this world cup is

unlike any other guitars. human rights and labor abuses have made it the most controversial world cup in history. something that fans have to reckon with, even if they hope the tournament can have a positive impact. it's going to bring a lot of going to the country and to people to see that advice. not on the controversy because there's been a lot of issues with their working after 12 years of arduous prep, the guitar world cup is here and so are the fans. fee for recently announced nearly $3000000.00 tickets. more than 90 percent of those available have already been sold for many, the world cup still fulfills its role as a global party, bringing people together. that's one of the walk up to get all the countries together and share cultures, share customs. and while a last minute decision to ban the sale of alcohol at stadiums might mean beer is a bit harder to find than at past tournaments. for many, it's starting to feel ever more like a world cup. whether that impression holds or pressure on 15 to tar over human

rights issues persist, could dictate this tournaments legacy. and just before the kick off, we as think of the is for it's correspond and daniel barcelona in doha to describe the atmosphere there. ah, so the atmosphere in dough has really picked up over the last few days. the fans 1st have kicked off, which means there are concerts, days. and now it's one of the only places that you can actually drink of beer. if you have the $14.00 that it cost to buy $1.00 right now, we are in front of our bite stadium was where they will be playing the opening game . what you can see behind me are the last few fans that are trickling into the stadium. not so many non match going fans are here because we are literally in the middle of the desert. as you can see, it's pretty windy right now. but the vibe in doha is very world cup like right now . rights groups are reporting that iran is carrying out

a major crack down in the kurdish town of maha bod. the town has seen intense anti regime protests in recent days with people's staging citizens and setting a barricades ah, video circulated on social media overnight. screaming and gunfire can be heard. another clip shared by an exiled kurdish opposition party claims to show plain clothes, members of the revolutionary guard, firing into the sky. activists say electricity has been caught and there are on conformed report reports of protesters being killed or wounded. we can now speak to comrade martin. he's a senior lecture at the university of south thanks where he teaches modern history of the middle east and theories of international relations. welcome to d w. so what have you been hearing about the situation in my band?

well over the last 34 days mob was basically largely at the hands of the people protest. those were on the street. many of the institutions of the government were no longer operational. the city was in a general strike all of these period multiple times. barriers of protest, this will have been killed, turned into further protests. so the c runners had kind of liberated itself from the government if you'd like, actually to you in the day. so last night, news came in that the government forces from multiple directions entering the city with heavy weapons with, with vehicles on so on. and as you can also show, there were sounds of shooting throughout the night. so the city seems to have be

completely militarized since last night. and there was trying to completely silence protested, but supposed to come in that despite the heavy presence and shooting and killing of the protest as they were again on the streets this afternoon this evening. and my lot, but also in the cities of credit reports coming, coming in, of keeping people being shot by the government security forces and also members of the militia gods. we should of course, remember that it was the death of a young kurdish iranian woman that triggered the nationwide protest against the regime is a situation in kurdish areas of the country somehow different compared to other parts of iran? well, it is in some sense. yes, because cause time has always been home to a national movement seeking recognition of its national rights within the uranium

state. and this goes back and forth for a 100 years. so corresponding because people were opposed to the islamic republic of iran, the establishment from the, from the very beginning in the, in the spring of 979. and as a result, co sign has always been at the receiving end of readings, maximum, or oppression. and suppression since then, but this has also meant that correspond is highly politicized. there are, there is a kind of strong good tradition of khaki politics. people are support says are linked to finish political organizations which are banned in 5 year on, but they present the neighboring iraq because it's done and they, they kind of have their own organization and so on and so forth. so because the current time has been at the forefront of the current movement, i think the regime feels that if this one of the revolution and somehow repressed or suppress it might actually either silence the rest of the iran or at least scare

people off the street. from other parts of the building, so they prioritize actually pressing the protest in iran and also how about the particular significance because it will be the city where republic i'm going to some of the stablish in i'm 46, although it's last is only 11 months, but it has its significance for cognition movement that was cameron martin from the university of sussex. thank you so much anxious. let's turn our attention now to the comp 27 climate talks in egypt. some $200.00 countries have signed on to historic deal to pay for the effects of climate change. the marathon discussions ended with a deal to create a fund to compensate poor countries for damage. they've already suffered from climate change. the fund covers would negotiators called loss and damage. but many, many delegates are worried about what the deal does not include. it's

a historic deal thrashed out by exhausted delegates after weeks of negotiations that the climate talks in egypt through the eurostar machine. we established the 1st ever barbecue could form for lawson damage a form that has been so long in the making the fund would pay poor nations on the front lines of climate change. dealing with destruction and death from extreme weather. developing countries have contributed the least to heat trapping emissions that are causing temperatures to increase weld wide nations like pakistan with floods have killed hundreds this year alone have been campaigning for this compensation for decades. the establishment of a refund is not about dispensing charity. it is clearly

a down payment on the longer investment in our joint futures. it is a down payment and an investment and climate justice. but at some delegates celebrate. crucial details are still unclear. like exactly which richer countries will pay into the fund and how much and there was little progress on tougher carts to carbon emissions. but gas is produced by burning fossil fuels. that it driving climate change. europe is among the big emitters and germany has pledged to cut its emissions, but worn that are the top polluters all doing the same. that of course, more than frustrating to see, overdo steps on mitigation and the phase out of fossil fuels prevented by some major misses and oil producing countries. as a result,

the world loses precious time towards the path of limiting warming to $1.00 degrees from our from scott. a sentiment shared by many delegates leaving the conference. let's bring in mythic, i'm a window. he is co founder and executive director of the pan african climate justice alliance, and he joins us now from nairobi. welcome, and dr. wenda, i know that you just returned from comp 27. so did african nations achieve what they'd hoped at this year's climate talks? oh, we seem to have some difficulties with the connection there. can we get dr. melinda back? still waiting. does the hear us? no. all right, well then let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making use around the world to this. our turkey has launched air strikes across northern syria

and northern iraq targeting the military bases of kurdish militants. a war monitor says at least 30 people were killed. the strikes come days after the turkish government blamed the kurdistan workers party for last sundays. deadly bombing in central is done bull ukraine's operation nuclear power plant, which is under russian control, has been hit by shelling the un nuclear watched on condemned the attack in a tweet. adding that such, shelling could trigger a nuclear disaster. moscow and key of blame each other for the attack will donald trump's twitter account is back up and running, but it's not clear whether the former president will use it. the social media platforms, new owner, ellen musk reinstated the former president. this weekend, trump was banned from twitter last year after a mob of his supporters attacked the u. s. capital ah, the controversial tesla boss who describes himself as

a free speech absolutist made the announcement via his twitter account, declaring the people have spoken. trump will be reinstated, vox populi box day. a latin phrase meeting, the voice of the people is the voice of god. hiring rhyme, i ellen must purchase twitter for $44000000000.00 us dollars in october and immediately began cleaning house, firing top executives laying off half the workforce and introducing controversial policies, prompting major advertisers to step away from the platform. civil rights groups also complain there's been an increase in hate speech and misinformation. musk asked users via a poll whether to reinstate the former president. some 15000000 votes were logged with nearly 52 percent in favor. critics were quick to denounce the decision. the n double a c p called on all those still funding twitter to mediately pause all advertising after trumps reinstatement we had in 2016. as you all know,

that when asked if he'd return to the social network platform, he often used as a megaphone during his presidency. trump was non committal. i don't see it because i don't see any reason for her. they have a lot of problems at twitter. you see what's going on if they make it, it may not make it, but as the problems are incredible, certain person when the election, instead, he used the question as an opportunity to promote his own social network truth, social in which he has a financial stake. you're up to date and he w news. thanks for watching this on dinner with him and she's movie said, can i get the patriarchy montgomery, an increasing number of women in latin america.
