oh, the categories are especially proud of the 974 stadium. it was built out of recycled shipping containers in an odd to sustainability and innovation. it will host 6 group matches and one match in the round of 16. the modular design with containers and prefabricated sections, rather like lego pieces meant the stadium was relatively cheap and quick to build this venue is due to be dismantled straight after the world cup and the land used for other purposes. many are already questioning how building an entire stadium for just 7 matches can be described as sustainable the we're of air conditioning systems is audible everywhere. even in the fall,
1:37 pm
with temperatures around 40 degrees celsius, the grass need special care. huge fans help to cool the air to improve growth, but this stadium has no outdoor ac. unlike the other venues that have to be kept cool all year round. mohammed al, at one is the stadiums, facility manager. he's a could tarry easily recognizable from the traditional clothing that all could tarry. men where we'll use 974 containers until told us why. even the name of the said him, say the muscle unfold and still presents a muscle on the island called of cutoff as a sorrow, i've got those will coming, communication i will come in every one to join us in the 1st middle east and out of work up, what will happen to, to contain us afterwards? we have the flexibility of the design to rebuild of us all to recycle most of the components. so those container can be used to build the same
1:38 pm
a stadium of the same combustion of the concentration of the war and cathedral different countries, the what do the same capacity us for to 1000 seats, or we can build a small venues with this model combustion. so we can both $20000.00 c, still venues and deformed locations. the world cup mascot marks the way to the next venue. the algae new stadium was designed by a rocky british female architect zahid. he took 5 years to build and cost almost 600000000 euros. we filmed workers on the glistening roof until an angry security guard ordered us to switch off our cameras. even though it's a public area, it was the 3rd time we'd been stopped by security and prevented from working german journalist and caught our analyst floating on boa knows all too well. what happens if western journalists try to report on things that caught our secret service deems
1:39 pm
off limits? when he went to a district known as the industrial area, to film the conditions that millions of migrant workers are living and he was arrested. is common on products. i is a police the military and the secret service all came and they interrogated us for 14 hours instead of at or o'clock in the morning. we were released by the public prosecutor via when we asked if we could leave the country that we were told no, not at the moment of the sean, the public prosecutor even told us that he had no sand at any more so much. it was the secret service out there and if they don't want you to leave, then you won't get out. they only hold with us again. what's your trip been like this time? he said, then f o n e dot mcmann sean douglas 100 goals. it's silicone, it'll get biting cut. you can see the categories are very cautious, puzzle gob, they keep trying to caution us and even influence our reporting to a certain extent is emilita shuttle. just to day we were in the industrial area again. no one we haven't har following on, which i've never experienced. that's ac own. so in this hobby it was
1:40 pm
a white 4 wheel drive with a tory maddox. as emma vida, it's clear we were being monitored by the secret service i'm constantly building does is leave of a whole. it sheds a bad light on the country. it's even that a time when it ought to be more open in one it's high full. i think they should just say i, we've tried to change a lot. in some areas we've been successful and others not the lumen abdullah sneezed and that's understandable is also the a moodily. each person who i've never known a country to advance so quickly as cutter has in the past 12 years fought. and i think the categories would do well to highlight that in their media campaign, in central standard eula of his cuts looks um. but he stuffs up the emir of katara timing, been hammered attorney and his father, the former a near ham. i'd been khalifa i, tony had led, caught her into the modern age using the profits from oil and gas, and they haven't only focused on the economy. the state old news network al jazeera

1:42 pm
a cut out is little just about camels and sound oil, but also the key aim was to make this part of their developmental strategy strategy for long term development. so the world cup was one of those things are fits in that strategy. so it's both the question about visibility and you can a long term economic development. that development is visible everywhere. areas that we're just desert back in the 1980s, now boasts skyscrapers office towers and luxury hotels. the futuristic skyline has all developed in the last 30 years. society has also changed and not all categories are happy about it. some parts of society, this is going very fast. now there is some people who felt very uncomfortable with literally everything's changed to generations. but again, the top of the ruling family had been on the one hand very clear where they wanted to go, which is modernized without losing authenticity and identity. but on the other hand,
1:43 pm
they've implemented that in ways that try to bring in the to, to bring a consensus. although some people are unhappy, katara aim years, have one over many with state benefits that are 2nd to none. category. citizens receive generous allowances and salaries, education, and excellent healthcare are all provided for free, and there are no taxes. i've arranged to meet maria again the fan liter from argentina. she's lived in doha for 8 years and works for a company that helps south american businesses who are looking to gain a foothold and cotter. she says argentinians both here and back home are very excited about the world cup. right now we are over $6700.00 that we are at and even hearing of that. and we are expecting more about it more than $70000.00. will you say to the attend tina fans when they come over?
1:44 pm
first, if they can read the read or if they come via that we some one that is leaving here . it's nice to know if either by the quarter it's different or to our country. or, of course, we have like a dress code here and got that on. you said, cover your folder some neat, but it's not everywhere. if you see here yet that we are in the cornish, you would see man or woman with swords or without sleeves. and they will, of course, that go home, that they will not be able to buy that go holdings for market, but they would, they can drink beer or any alcohol and drink in bars or yeah, or bumps. and even the fun songs and some of them it, they will find. so i think would be fine. and do you think there could be problems with i'm married couples a no, he hadn't got that. no one ask you about anything. like if, if i want to go to, well, i'm already, but if i want to go to a hotel, i'm book a room with a friend, i come to it, they would not, they would not requested marriage. so as where the work i am so that they will not requesting foreign tourists, may not face such questions,
1:45 pm
but it could tarry. woman certainly would sexual relations outside of marriage or band for women. if an unmarried woman gets pregnant, she will not only be ostracized, she's likely to end up in prison, and she can't access medical care either. if old goes to check on that on pregnancy issues and so on, you have to be married. so that's true. that study is absent through and so that's problematic. and if you, if you deliver a baby and you have that again, you can be if, if you aren't married, she can't show you're married, then you're in trouble. and these are things that are, that are problematic. and that stem really from the goods a society, they're still in large pots, pretty conservative about these kinds of moral gender questions and so on. and this isn't dr. strew forgot to the woman was history of anybody. so that's why you have to get these stories about sometimes domestic stuff that have a relationship or whatever. and, and, and dave,
1:46 pm
they're in trouble of them. it's not as if they're going to get to mistreated, but they will often be arrested and have to be detained. women are 2nd class citizens in qatar and subject to their male relatives. they're not free to make decisions about their own lives, whether they want to marry, study, work or travel. they're dependent on the goodwill of their father, husband, or brother, but also limitations. the official limitations on travel under a certain age you have to have permission from a male figure of the policy in the family. if you are a country when you marry a non custody than your children or they will not get all the benefits of a country, citizenship, francis. and so, whereas if you're a country baton, you might for women than your child, you will have citizenship. and all these things, so these are the sorts of things that you find a lot of young cut, only women out, then we'll just young cotton agitating about public it's also
1:47 pm
a subject of debate in education city, a vast campus linked by tram that includes satellite institutes of renowned u. s. french and british universities, 70 percent of the students in doha are women. unlike the men most wouldn't be allowed to study abroad. there's growing opposition here to the practice of mail guardianship over women. and the fact that category men can still have 4 wives at the same time. the former amy or for example, has 3 wives and 27 children. but not a single category woman was willing or perhaps allowed to speak to us on camera. ah, i've come to carters national museum, which boasts impressive architecture. it takes visitors on a journey through the history of the small desert state. until the 19th thirty's,
1:48 pm
the pearl trade was katara biggest source of income. britain's queen elizabeth was later given a pro necklace. when she visited katara, the decline of the pearl industry was followed by a period in the 1940s known as the years of hunger. but in the 1950s, katara began producing oil on a significant scale. then in the 1970s, the world's largest natural gas field was discovered most of it in carters territorial waters. and from the mid ninety's cut her began selling liquefied natural gas all over the world. it was the income from that gas that financed katara is unprecedented. modernization drive under the leadership of len. amier huh . been khalifa attorney. he was also the one in 2010 who saw caught her, awarded hosting rights for the world cup. his son,
1:49 pm
the current amy or timing been ha, mad attorney has continued his policies. but he came under pressure when rival arab states slapped a blockade on katara that lasted several years. don't mix up anybody over to the right mind to safeguard that sovereignty cut our has excelled in networking and become an international mediator. doe, has sheraton hotel, has served repeatedly as a venue for talks between various warring parties from the u. s. to the taliban cutter has made its foreign policy as broad as possible. strategy is, 1st of all, complete pragmatism. that is no ideological element to this. it's been a decision right from the beginning from, let's say the early ninety's onwards. warnesha ham, ubs the column, the father. emerson is the father of the current and he had set out to secure got us visibility and security are included, of course,
1:50 pm
in the prime security guarantor, the united states whom they gave this huge airbase a loaded airbus. so they became very useful for the us who want one. they want to talk to iran, very useful to the u. s. also. and they wanted to some place to connect to send messages to have ultimately global stations with the taliban. so cut out and responds and says fine, they can come and set up an office here, and you guys could meet each other. each week men flocked to the national ground mosque for friday prayers. the amy are also praise here, accessing the building via his own underground entrance. most categories are well hobbies, followers of a particularly conservative form of his law. both private groups and government organizations have provided lavished donations to promote conservative islam in other countries. also in europe, which has caused considerable tensions. but there's evidence that qatar is scaling
1:51 pm
back its activities. ah, some of that money went not just to the most sensible and dodgy preachers but to basically gerardo types in the, around the world. and so that the, the cotton is because the government clearly saw this is not something that they wanted. and they've been cracking down very hard on that with new laws and very stringent controls, to the extent that any, even any kind of very innocent charitable collection. you actually have to clear with a government trust next i want to try out door, has new metro, like many infrastructure project. it was built as part of the preparations for the world cup. all the stations and trains have good air conditioning, a necessity and carter. because of the heat and because gasoline is dirt cheap here,
1:52 pm
most categories go everywhere by car. public transport still needs to catch on more widely. this metal on like other countries is a very new concept in the gulf region. and we plan on integrating the metal into the daily lives all the residents. we've got all these and all that. so that is a challenge, but i believe we all succeeded going forward. we have floods and we have implemented some funds to integrate all the, all the rosin as usual, another official is present during our interview. whether to provide support or to monitor the conversation is unclear. we continue to get stopped regularly by police and security officials who question us, scan our passports and compare them with databases. the authorities here are very suspicious of journalists,
1:53 pm
like every one arriving and cut our we were required to download a covert app on our cell phones at the airport. this means we can be tracked at all times and our phones monitored. building work is underway all over doha hot. our owes a lot to migrant workers, many of whom are poorly paid and not well treated. but under international pressure, some things do appear to have improved this building houses, the office of the international labor organization in 2018 got, are opened its doors to the i allow and began cooperating with labor law experts. the ilo says reports that more than 6000 workers have died while building world cup . then use our false $6500.00 is the total number of south asian nationals who died in katara over 10 year period. it doesn't distinguish between whether these a work related death or non work related us. it doesn't even distinguish between
1:54 pm
the diesel workers or non economic reactive people. we commissioned our own work, our own piece of work, to collect data from different hospitals, emergency departments, ambulances, etc, to come up, the more accurate figure on work related injury. and, and in that we saw that there were 50 work related deaths in 202500 6 severe injuries. and 37000 mild and moderate injuries. safety standards have since improved. the ban on working in the heat has been expanded and a minimum wage introduced the notorious ca follow program, which gave employers complete control over their workers has been scaled back. but these improvements are not being applied everywhere. the new laws need to be enforced. poor working conditions, harm katara, reputation, and limit further economic development to all the fields from dim bus. i think those of us coming from the west can't even imagine what life is like for many of
1:55 pm
the migrant workers here of the fortune they work. 12 hours a day in the heat, the orbits only live with $68.00 or 10 other workers in one room in here that is just 14 or 16 square meters in size. and dylan gusta barton an item home, they worked 6 days a week. they 12 hours a day plus one hour travel there and when our battle numb, shook donahoe that doesn't leave much time for themselves. should us will to healy . but that's not only typical for cutter. hottest the same and other parts of the gulf and the world. and that should be reported on to them, but okay, other parts of the world aren't being allowed to host the world cup to if he saw them. why doesn't science? so our katara residents actually interested in football mohammed from egypt heads a school here. unlike migrant workers in the low wage sector, qualified workers with a good salary can bring their wives and children to katara. i'm very excited. i'm waiting for all the dns to come watch and enjoy. oh,
1:56 pm
so i'm waiting for my favorite theme, brazil. second theme france. i like this michelle about. azaleas are very good theme. are you like who and brazilian junior, vinicius, when you favorite live live with. what does it mean for you? this world cup is for the 1st time posted by eric, 1st fireman on a blog. them very exciting. a lie exist on the i think, and sean la cut out. she will make something amazing and we are waiting for this. all of us all out. the one who are supposed to cut back on the sea front. soccer also dominates the conversation. it's friday when workers have their day off. these young men all support south american teens. i do not even do that. i think they've already got missy. busy probably i like mercy. what is your

1:58 pm
more katara can also be seen out and about at the bazaar. the women wear the long black a buyer. while the men are dressed in white, this part of the market sells birds and other pats. even though the bazaar is newly built and just made to look old, it very much reflects traditional arab culture. many categories were planning to leave the city before the hordes of foreign fans descended. not all of them are happy about the mega event. and the western influence that goes with it. by this hundreds of the west, much is not right in katara. but some consider the tiny emirates, a model of success by gulf region standards. the world cup has highlighted the struggle in the arab world to find a balance between tradition and modernity. between authoritarianism, human rights and a desire to play a role on the world stage. with
