habit, some with a rallying cry that must sound like a threat to the countries theocratic leaders kurtz belushi is as a res, freedom and equality toward my luther. that is all about all that is a brief look at some other stories making headlines around the world. the world's longest serving president is seeking re election equitorial, gania, the 80 year old voted to extend his 43 years in power and the oil rich country. critics have long accused his regime of intimidation, torture and corruption, and pointed towards questionable results from previous elections. ukraine's upper region nuclear power plant, which is under russian control, has been hit by showing that you in clear, watched or condemned the attack in a tweet. adding that such showing could trigger a nuclear disaster. moscow and cube blink each other for the attack ah turkey. his lance air strikes across northern syria and northern iraq targeting the military bases of kurdish militants. a war monitor says that at least 30 people

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 alone leave 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 that. 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 use the question as an opportunity to promote his own social network truth, social in which he has a financial stake. the men football world cup has opened with a match between host guitar in ecuador, although several high profile stars refuse to perform at the opening ceremony. it boasted a variety of local and international acts and was hosted by you as actor, morgan freeman. the headline performer was k pop star sean cook, in a speech guitars ruling emir spoke of celebrating diversity at the tournament. joining me with the latest woke up action is did up his own max merrill. so max, ecuador, b katara, talk us to an opening matcher. this year's tournament. yeah, the very 1st came in to underdogs and group a going headsets. it was really vital points up for grabs. then we can take a look at the highlights. could saw were on the back foot early on the keeper side al, she's not covering himself glory here. this is 3 minutes in an ecuador actually scored

that early on. the goal was disallowed for a very marginal offside call. so they were lucky there. but the keeper was maybe determined to ruin the day. he then caused the penalty and a valencia, the man who put the bowl in earlier that was disallowed, then felled, and he took the penalty. the captain of ecuador, the old time leading, go score for the country. and now also there all time world cup leading goal scorer, and he scored again at the half hour mark. so 30 minutes and it was to mil to ecuador, and guitar really didn't offer a whole lot. we can see here the, the biggest chance really they had the most spectacular chance they had in the match. muhammad men, sorry, who came on and 0 shots on target for the host nation. they became the 1st host nation ever to lose their opening game, and the fans who had left at half time. so a nightmare. stop the cattle. all right, so kind of a rough start for guitar. do they have any hope of progressing now?

well, as i say, these 2 are kind of the undergrad dogs in the group a and now they have the african champion center goal to play and the netherlands who are a power powerhouse of international football. and it's a bit shocking to me, really, because it's all, we're not necessarily fancy to progress from this group that they would become only the 2nd host nation not to do so after south african 2010. but i did expect them to be better, like many woke up host before them. they have the problem that they haven't really been tested by competitive matches because they qualify outright as hosts. they've played $52.00 friendly matches in the last 3 years and spent the last 6 months in a special camp with coach felix sanchez to prepare for this tournament. as it was on the day, they looked very shaky, very nervous, and these are the reigning asian champions. and a team who in 2019 were also a guest nation at the corporate america really didn't look old too bad, but very hard to progress from this point. on i think. all right, so rocky start for the 1st day of term, an action. what awaits us tomorrow. monday. yet we have 3 matches. the 1st of which

is england versus iran, which interestingly could see a see the 1st political action. there may be some protest from the iranian players such term all in their home country, and they have already protested in the past covering the national team badge and also england captain harry came, is expected to wear the one love arm band, a special on ban inclusivity and faith i have so far, basically made it known that they don't want that to happen. they haven't officially banded, but he could be other cause he could be fined so far. he says he wants to push ahead with that. other than that, then we have sent a goal and netherlands, the other group, a team playing after that. and you say wells another tightly contested match. so a nice threesome there of contested action, right? that was t w's and max merrill. thank you. in tennis, no like joke, which has ended an eventful year on a high note after winning the atp finals. the serv defeated the up and coming norwegian, tangled caspar root in sundays, final joke of which sealed the victory with an ace. the 6th time he's won

b e t p finals, trophy and caps a year that saw him cleans 21st grand slam title. i'd wimbleton would miss out on to others entirely do to cope with restrictions. right, to watch a d w news. and here's a quick reminder of our top story at this hour. police in the u. s. are looking into whether a mash shooting that an l. g, b, t, q nightclub in colorado, was a hate crime. suspected lone gunman killed 5 people in the attack before he was overpowered by nightclub goers. and after much criticism and controversy, the men's football will cover as kicked off with guitar, with the host losing the ecuador in the opening match. over a 1000000 fans are expected to travel to the country over the course of the target . and don't forget, you can always get more in detail. you news on the go, just download our app from google play or from the apple app store. that will give
