respect the progress in labor before him. she labor rights abolishing a fall and reducing minimum wage. despite the challenges that even europe peon companies are denying them for the love they committed to a vision by choice and they open to the world. this is despite international concerns that thousands of migrant workers could have died building the tournaments stadiums. kylie has been expelled from her party at home and her parliamentary group. what happens to her next will be up to belgium system of justice. now for the latest in this investigation, i spoke with d. w. curse bonnet, jack park in brussels. where we know that the kids from the guitar reside that they are investigating on their side. i have sources close to that. who have told me that actually that meeting that we heard about with the labor minister, that the labor minister himself is being looked into and also the,

the victoria ambassadors, the european union as one might expect. i've also been doing some digging through some european parliament vote some find that a vote in the libra libor committee, it's called, which is like the legal affairs committee that ava kylie on the 1st of december turned off to a vote that was related to e visa liberalization for qatar and voted in favor of allowing that liberalization process to move forward. she is not a member of that committee. so on top of that speech that she made in the parliament that appear there, appears to be a growing weight of sort of public evidence coming out against her. it is important to say that the belgian authorities are investigating this heavily for other people have been arrested including a former m e p from italy. and there's also these widespread reports of 600 well confirmed reports by the belgian police that they confiscated 600000 euros in cash . one belgian newspaper is saying is reporting that eva heidi's,

a big concern for the categories who appeared to be implicated in this and, and it appeared to be, you know, connected to this with them. obviously trying to get through the world cup with a good reputation. and also because this is all related to labor issues related to the building of the world cup stadiums and the speeches, the eva, kylie made on that. it's all starting to be a sort of very, it's a web that is growing sort of ever tighter. they double check perkin brussels. thanks so much for your reporting. or here in germany, a man was killed after he took 2 people hostage in a shopping mall in eastern city of dresden. gunshots were heard as police moved into freight, his captives, who were unheard. police say the mentally ill suspect had earlier killed his mother . what began as a busy weekend shopping day, turned into anything but police closed off large parts of central dresden,

the winner on 78 minutes. there it was. shortly afterwards, england's harry came unusually stepped up to the penalties for the missed penalty that would have leveled the school france are hoping to become the 1st thing to retain the world cup since brazil in 1960 and morocco at night for pulling history coming. the 1st african team ever to reach the semi finals of a world cup. after a while no victory, i've a portugal. i took the late in the 1st half thanks to way towering header from usa on the city and from their own. and the dogs tied to that incredible moment and defended their lead was not easy though. joe, felix had the best of portugal chances in the 2nd half, but he was denied to by the moroccan keeper, who is now a hero. france in the semi final. while portugal exit means that this man, christiana bernard,

was dream afflicting the world cup is likely to be over for good. now earliest joined by date of the sports max merrill, who was in doha. he told us what this historic result names for morocco. yeah. in history, as you say, for the country, for the continent and for the arab world as well. fans have congregated once again that soup walk, if the market here in doha and not just moral confines again it's, it's sions, algerians. categories all celebrating this team success here at the world cup in cat saw. and it's been absolutely lively atmosphere here all around us, fans waving flags from different countries. you can see here the amount of people gathering. it's all very peaceful so far, fantastic atmosphere at what a night for morocco, the coach while it groggy, said he wanted to make africa proud morocco proud. they certainly have and now they're in a semi final and they could make, make even more history. i can do next. oh,

what about portugal by had their chances were morocco were the winners here? i think so. i mean, you look at the performance, they have hard against big teams. they've prevailed against so many big team alaysyah, spain and now portugal, again, spain. it was a very clever to performance where they squeezed the paper, had a really high line against portugal. they played differently, they had a different approach to the game, more attacking in the 1st half. then as players were injured and as they tied a little bit in the 2nd off, they went back and sat back deep. this time they got a little bit lucky. i think a couple of harry chances that but as soon on to file a player playing polls, air in front, a massive performance from him, some star players went off engine and bono, the gold people, once again coming up trump's saving penalties last time and now saving lots of attempts from the portugal team, so i think they show tactical now today. what do you think law group can be very

proud of his charge as a team that has so much chemistry and so much passion and such joy also on their faces in portugal just couldn't get pasta briefly, mex, we can't go without a word on christiana, rinaldo he equal the record of $196.00 international cats. but is this likely to be his last world cup game? do you think you can maybe hear fans around me shouting? where is rinaldo may very well be his last tournament for portugal. coming into this, it looked like it would be the last world cup where we see both messy and rinaldo now only messy has left in this competition. he is the leading men's national team goal scorer in international football, but he may well have left international stage. now and the base rent is off to kick off off to full time for him. really stuff enjoy your night. looks like you've got company, dw sports, max meryl for my very lively market way. and i thank you so much. my friend,
