ah to nil to buy a substitute maximilian at all times to through ball perfectly. and schuler looked at the game to bed with a livid minutes left. but frankfort showed guts meet, build up, play left lar approach in the car. in the clear, she huffed the deficit 182 minutes a lovely back heel from lower fry going laid it on a plate for fresh nika, than it was game on, but more football coming up next in sports life thanks for watching. ah ah, every journey is full of surprises. we've gone all out to give you some tips one day and in the footsteps of the right people. i'm in your northernmost count,

please. ah, for a time in the long still very much alive, dw channels, your guy to the special thoughts in germany. i recognize where exactly. it was fun. i learned a lot. our culture history. all their d. w. travel extremely worth a visit. ah, ah ah. ah, ah ah, protests on the pitch protests in the stands, penny scrutiny in the me. football has never been politicized quite like this in

the public eye. cutter has come under scrutiny, count as human rights reco, briefcases, stuffed with cash. the colossal loss of life. football like the world finds itself in the middle of a clash between different cultures, values and morals. and favorite will soon have to vote on where the 2030 mens will cotton will be held. they could be handed to saudi arabia and egypt to order credit countries. the united states will co host the 2026 tournament clone to gun violence and anti abortion laws. political and societal issues are bound to play a role in future tournaments. so how did we get here, and how can football navigate its way through this world of politics? this is the moment it all started to escalate his ha,

politics in sport on new we st. uproar in the past such as the 1936 olympics in nazi germany. the 1978 mens woke up in argentina and most recently in russia in 2018 swollen politics. it's always been closely interwoven. we seen many manifestation years and to work up an artist of the latent katara 2022 saw an extraordinary amount of scrutiny. no matter where you sit. it was a bizarre thought to the tournament from the intense media coverage. the johnny infant. he knows opening diatribe today. i feel at up today i feel african. today i feel gay. germany's protests went viral, as did iran for paul as have never felt more emboldened to take a stand. fans openly voiced support for palestine. the women's rights

and for the algae, beta q community could feign a wall ride and it all started with legitimate criticism of guitars approach to this world cup. i think one of the scary things about this world up is to way groups. the organizers are completely conscious of political dimension. and yet aside from critics have pointed to migrant workers, deaths, that's 3 work related deaths and 37 non work related, right? this is a natural part of life, whether it's at work, whether it's in the countries moves against homosexuality. i'm not a big one, big mifflin let us have on why? because the damage in the mind. it views towards women, the questionable carbon cost of the world cup. and of course, the bribery allegations could saw a country with little pu pulling history,

successfully use the world cup to elevate its global influence. it cause a debate that is divisive confronting and has a tendency to descend into what about ism western media called at katara and fee for over corruption allegations and was accused of hypocrisy in return. why don't we perceive katara has been so much more crooked because it paid bribes to win the world cup. that's also true of other countries. and that i think has to invite questions about how categories, middle easterners, arabs, muslims are perceived in the west. and whether the same misconduct that has occurred in the west, when it occurs among these people, we somehow react as if it's, it's shocking. it's unprecedented. it's, it's more severe. it's more reprehensible. cuts are played at the re,

this game of geo politics. fifa chase profits above all else. many western businesses and governments also benefited from the venture. it's the reality of our hyper capitalistic world. or sport in general is, is, is merely a reflection of the widest political z. in that sense, we are at a, we are at a turning point, the seat in history, that turning point is the battle between liberal and non liberal values. ah, many parts of the world chose not to criticize katara. the torment highlighted that our global society holds conflicting values. if you look at asia, africa, perhaps their view of this is that there's a certain amount of european american of chrissy in this. and so they're not as prepared to be critical of the could sorry regime. what i believe in is most certainly different to what you believe. everyone draws a line on morality. but one issue is that the world's values are constantly

changing. the line will be different in 510 or 20 years. homosexuality wasn't completely decriminalized in germany until 1994 and in 50 years time, some of the world may look back at industrial slaughterhouses, as it's great shame. in the west democratic and free speech values have been developed at of high set by internal politics. it's now placing external expectations on other nations to keep up. every country has its own line. the unfairness is in expecting all other regions of other countries to be immediately, immediately at the level of a western countries that is unfair justice, unrealistic that's, that's even naive. the better, more fair, a more productive approach would be to say, how can we support these countries as making progress as rapidly as possible and can we celebrate the progress of these made safer with $211.00 diverse members is

stuck in the middle of this debate. on values and morality, so to his european club football in relation to foreign ownership. so after katara, how will the football world react to future tournament hosts. therefore beds expected for the 2030 men's world cup and the world will have very different views on which countries a most suitable morocco has put its hat in the ring. as a joint bid from south america, spain and portugal have teamed up with ukraine and has also been expected from saudi arabia, egypt, and grace. no one country can claim to be completely controversy free. if we were to adopt, absolutely strict liberal ah moral principle, i guess no nation qualifies, right? the men's well comp heads to the united states in 2026 gun laws, anti abortion legislation,

and the policing system will be under the microscope. so how do we draw a line between countries that are good enough and countries that aren't? and is that even possible? we all have to draw road lines and there's no way of deciding one line is correct. one line is incorrect, i can't say that yours is the wrong line. it's just not the line that i would draw . pfeiffer has been one of the main adjudicators for footballs line. across the past decade, the world cup has been sent to non western nations. profits may well be, faith is main goal, but he can't deny it has diversified football away from europe and the america's seeing the arab world embrace its 1st woke up was indeed a beautiful sight. while the sheets of paper is to become more in internationally proport and to get those nations more of a child's now or a region is the central quote where sadly many of the regimes of those parts of the

world are repressive regime do not allow free speech do not allow political position. countries such as china, russia, brazil, and katara have all posed moral dilemmas for the western world. and the traditional european power houses and not used to being 2nd in the pecking order. so could we say a power struggle in the near future? one that's based on values and ideals? what possibilities we go on with this and there are some compromises with the book and it keeps or go planning. there is another possibility which is the democratic re, speech inclinations in europe, actually decide to go the roadway and say we can't participate in this corrupt organization anymore. that could main pitting, the west against the breast. i just would counsel against the categorical assumption that the only way to avoid corruption. human rights issues is to return the biggest worse to the west. in the north,

the beta supporting organizations are actually more aligned with suppression and anti democratic forces than they are with freedom and democratic causes. one would like to see a realignment within those organizations. i suspect that there will be pressure for that to come. i really struggle to know what the outcome with the uncertainty is a big question mark for world football going forward. because it's clear both sides as well as fifo are using the game for political leverage. the thought did in fact draw a line in 2022 when it's suspended, russia after its invasion of ukraine. that is faith are really able to act with a moral compass that pleases everyone. individuals and companies can of course decide whether or not they want to boycott future toward but so far, no national football association has been willing to take a meaningful stand. so what happens when the world faces?

it's next cutoff. one option is division and boycotts. another is inclusion and engagement. one of the most beautiful, most compelling things about the way these cultures and nationalities gather here and interact is the political speech that occurs. i don't think that detracts from the experience. i think it quite enhances it. i think it's, it's attention, but it's a constructive tension through football and the world cup that constructive tension can play out in a fairly unique environment. where else in the world can we do this world in the world? can so many countries come together and express their identity both culturally and politically, in a way that doesn't deteriorate into conflict and riots and fights, and so forth. the sporting aspect which draws all of us to football in the 1st place will still maintain its romanticism and ability to entertain. leonel messy

winning his 1st world cup, morocco reaching the semi final rinaldo leaving in devastating ts. they will all remain off the field, however fif his challenge is to try and build bridges in this paddle of ideologies that includes living up to its own slogans and admitting this discussion is inseparable from sport. the question is where the fee for and its members actually up to that task is reco. it is actually catchy. and so it's not clear that they all going to formulate the clear policy position of jenny. and you know, is presidency, greece here at the moment? so it doesn't look like there's any little change with coming to me in the in. so if pupils governing bodies continue to pretend politics don't exist in sport, it could just lead to more division. there is a lot at stake. so can faith actually rise to the challenge and try to help you not

the world through football? do iced me a knocking, knocking provocative or embarrassing? are we all right when we clarify fines 21 on a shrine and finding a pig to 6 square feet. who tamely cutting off a turkey's b. it's all illegal yet. it's done again and again with must or do we treat animals and why don't we change our with the status quo?
