a significant challenge to boot. and then there is 39 year old religious loved the amount of rent unsuccessfully for moscow. mayor in 2023, he made headlines when he signed his name in support of anti war candidate bodies. my dear jim, who was just recently disqualified, but it's unlikely that he will adopt my dear against position in his election campaign. this is how the official ballot will look in march 2024. a dw is jennifer palka filed that report for us from the lab fee and capital riga since real sure. it closed our office in moscow. she told us the electron result looks inevitable. well, the 1st thing to mention is that this is the least amount of registered presidential candidates in russia since 2008 in rochester, last presidential elections in 2018. there were 8 names on the ballot. so this makes it obvious that the kremlin this time around made sure that no name on the ballad would be a real threat to pooty or harbor any anti war sentiments. yeah,

need slootsky and you call i just thought of were allowed to register because they are part of the so called systematic a physician. that means that on the surface they seem to be in opposition to rush has ruling party. but in truth, they are encouraged to do so in order to keep up the pretense that there is a functioning opposition and russia and in russell state parliament. as for of legislation, vancho. well, it is highly unlikely that he will be a threat for 14, for 2 reasons. firstly, he's politically relatively unknown across the russia, and he's a russian business man. and in order to do business and rush out, well, you need the support of rush as it leads. and of course, the russian political elite. and the 2nd reason is that he was nominated by the party, new people which emerged in 2020 and experts believe because the party did not have any prob, problems with russian or tardies and registering and even making it to the do not

that it is not an opposition party, but the spoiler party again dw, is that jennifer palka was speaking to us from the laughing capital rica in football is asia tub final the host and holders cats are defeated. jordan, 31 categories act from a fif score. 3 penalties making it 8 goals and the tournament earning him, the golden boot award. jordan's goes on and then they had leveled the score before a catalyst, a fif, converted his 2nd from the spot, or to talk more about the a f c asian comp. final one's going now by chris harrington from dw sports even carpet katasha. jordan, a. com, a fif. i'm sorry about that mishap there. tell us a little bit more chris about about this outcome. were you surprised? you know, on paper it was clearly, you know, the david versus goliath situation. guitar be the cup holders had all of the

momentum. they look more powerful and dominant in the group stage. jordan, you know, kind of stumbled their way to get to this point. and i, i found it interesting to that their coach, his goal was ultimately just to make it to the file. you know, uh they competed in a friendly before where jordan were victorious, but not this time. i, you know, i think it was a hard fight fight. you know, it was very active in the beginning, in as soon as guitar needed from the spot. i did feel like, you know, it was going to be their match, but then jordan leveled and then a face, you know, walking away with the golden bu score and a hat trick from the spot. i mean, cuts are, has a, you know, a lot to be proud of, but i think it was a match that the fans enjoy. you know, you saw the turn out a was quite electric. and even though a statically, the asian cup final, you might not envision catawba as jordan without the less guitar double up on the war. well, a jordan has been a cinderella story,

leading up to the final at the very least. what's been the reaction back to the home for them? what football has is completely gripped the nation. not that many people live in jordan around 11000000. and there was one story from a local shop owner. he was talking about his love for tennis, but what's jordan got? so when behind their sale, you know, in this particular tournament, he was completely converted in the streets. you see the streets, the turn out, the jordan flags waived in the streets. you know, i think it just goes to show that the tide is turning a bit, you know, nations that are not associated with the support of football that they start making some noise in the sports and they start making progress in major tournaments. they get the fan base behind them and then you know, in a few tournaments from now, maybe we're talking about jordan walking away with the title, but it has definitely galvanized the nation. i'll thanks as always, the dw, so chris harrington, dw sports. good to see you, chris. thank you. las vegas is putting on the biggest event in us
