that kind of them more will save you discovery stories that just click aware find out best documentary on youtube. oh yeah. really. good morning. see the world as you've never seen it before. describe now t d w documentary ah ah ah ah, protests on the pitch protests in the stands. many scrutiny in the media.

football has never been politicized quite like this in the public eye. cutter has come under scrutiny, pencils, human rights, record, brief cases 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 favor will soon have to vote on where the 2030 mens world cup will be held. they could be handed to saudi arabia and egypt to order credit countries of the united states will co host the 2026 tournament home to gun violence. and it, he, abortion, laws, political and societal issues up down to play a role in future tournaments. so how did we get here, and how can football navigate its way through this world politics? this is the moment it all started to escalate his ha,

politics in sport, aunt new. we've seen uproar in the past such as the 9836 olympics in nazi germany. the 1978 mens woke up in argentina and most recently in russia in 2018 swollen politics. it's always been loosely interwoven. we seen many manifestation years and woke up with the late in the 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 like gay germany's protests went viral as did iran for paul as have never felt more emboldened to take his stand fence,

openly voiced support for palestine for women's rights. and for the algae, beta q, community it fain a wall ride and it all started with legitimate criticism of could approach to this world cup. i think one of the scary things about this world up is the way, whoops, the organizers are completely conscious. political dimension, and yet aside from it, 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 your face, the country's laws against homosexuality. i am not the 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 are a country with little pu, pulling history, successfully use the world cup to elevate its global influence. it's called a debate that is divisive confronting and has a tendency to defend into what about ism western media called out 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 some are reactors. if it's, it's shocking. it's unprecedented. it's, it's more severe. it's more

a reprehensible cut are played at the ruthless 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 merely a reflection of the widest political. see, in that sense we are at a, we are at a turning point in history. that turning point is the battle between liberal and non liberal values. many parts of the world chose not to criticize keta. the torment highlighted that our global society holds conflicting values. if you look at asia and africa, perhaps a day 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, sorry regime. what i believe in is most certainly different to what you believe in . 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 day criminalized in germany until 1994 and in 50 years time, some of the world may look back at industrial slaughterhouses as its greatest shame . in the west democratic and free speech values have been developed out 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, lustrous, unrealistic guts. that's even naive. the better, more fair and more productive approach would be to say, how can we support these countries are making progress as rapidly as possible and

can we celebrate the progress of these made safer with 211 diverse members is stuck in the middle of this debate on values and morality. so to is european club football in relation to foreign ownership. so after katara, how will the for 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 world cup heads to the united states in 2026 gun laws. anti abortion

legislation, banned 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. with one line is incorrect. i can't say that yours is the wrong line. it's just not the line that i would draw pfeifer 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. that's why the sheets of paper is to become more inclusive internationally. the report and to give those nations more of

a child's now originally is this tension quite where. sadly, many of the regime to those parts of the world are repressive regimes who do not allow free speech. do not allow political position. countries such as china, russia, brazil, and scatter 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, there are some compromises with her and it keeps or go planning. there is another possibility which is the democratic re, speech inclinations in europe. actually decide to go there a way and say we can't participate in this corrupt organization anymore. that could main pitting, the west against the rest. 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 fif, 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 tournaments, 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 gotta one option is division and boycotts. another is inclusion and engagement. one of the most bureau almost compelling things about the way these are 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 that clear policy. the position of jenny and you know, is presidency crease here at the moment so it doesn't look like there's any little change with coming 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 of stake,

so can faith actually rise to the challenge and try to help you not the world through football to i find and finding a pig to 6 square feet to t lee cutting off a turkeys me. it's all illegal yet. it's done again and again with you will, you must, oh, do we treat animals and why don't we change over with the status quo? part one of our documentary series, the great meek debate. next on d. w. everybody knows, fuels made from petroleum, caused large amounts of c, o. 2 are synthetic combustibles known as the field. and i know tentative
