the who's ah football in the middle east. ever since the tiny golf nation want the right to house, the people world cup it football national team been done as a dark horse or a campbell if you will. one of the persian gulf wealthiest country as has spend billions of dollars on state of the art stadium. but is it really possible to play football when it's 30 degrees celsius outside? well, i mean i can feel it. what the temperature temperature 19. why has guitar build a stadium out of shipping containers like a stadium kit?

you can carry it around the world. whenever you're finished. with the visiting fans suffer from culture shock when they arrive in a muslim country. certain areas will have, i'll go, you won't be able to walk the streets and drink in youth, especially if you've never tried alcohol in your life. no, i haven't. to tarry football is making a huge, thrice with a little help from coffee. european professionals, of course, didn't money play any role in your decision to move here the to the to is not the 1st. and there was, for me to go to the, our local player is up to the job of giving top football nations that get run for their money several years who have been following katara. and it's preparations for the world's main football tournament. and while making this film were visited the country twice in 2019 and in 2021. so what should we expect from the very people

will come in the middle east? ah ah the they are robin, does it get done where the temperature can pick at 45 in 50 degrees celsius? skeptics have said this is an unsuitable setting for a major footboard tournament. about the tiny gulf nation lacks football tradition. maybe it's time to find out more about the ho station and it's a business plan to stage the best football tournament. come what may. first, we need to cool off before the scorching sun kills us. from day 11 of the biggest concerns about guitar hosting, the world cup was whether it's so hot here in the summer there is absolutely no way

you can stay outside, let alone play football due to this, the tournament was rescheduled to winter for the 1st time ever it will be held in november, december 2020 to what you have to keep in mind that even if the weather is okay for spectators, it can still be challenged for the players who have to keep running back and forth throughout the game at top speed and it's a well known fact that football players can perform at peak levels. if it's too hot, it's just simple biology. so the major concern right now is that guitar climate is gonna kill the show. and that's why engineers came to the stadiums here to assure that this won't happen. do you know what they call you in the media? no, you tell me, dr. cool. do you like that? i like it. i don't like it. so the portrait to use to mind behind all this

sophisticated cooling system in guitar. yeah, i don't like it because it is a group effort is a team effort. there's not only my, my mate has this stadium looks a lot like those built in europe and america, but there is something different about it too. if you take a closer look, you'll see the vents beneath each seat that blow cold air into the stands. basically this is an individual ac system that every spectator can enjoy similar nozzles, but bigger. it will be installed along the pitch and directed at the players. well, i mean i can feel it. yeah. what's the temperature? i mean, today because it's modulator we have control system temperature 19, and it's a completely objective device, right? yeah, yes and, and if you go where people playing, it's close to the van. but what you go in the middle of the page. never because we didn't put the whole stadium on for you with only only the sector, but we have, we had met with law is 90 degrees celsius during a game. yes,

i can make even lower. ah, even building just one stadium will cost you a pretty penny to house the world cop the dar had to build $87.00 of which had to be built from scratch. and all of these stadiums had to be with, with expensive air conditioning systems. and that's not to mention all the costs for infrastructure road interchanges, hotels, and even a new state of the art subway system with tunnels running right under the san ah. so we have going to train metro frame to see what the city public transport is like . the network has 3 lines, 37 stations and is 76 kilometers long. you would expect that this is the place where the train driver would sit by all the trains and are computerized mm.

the guitars world cup could be the most expensive ever but, but what it's worth this country doesn't seem to see that as a problem. because guitar has the world's 3rd largest gas reserves, this tiny middle eastern state is deemed the wealthiest country on the planet by per capita income. if you are lucky enough to be born here, like a leaf on her ruin, you will most likely never be me. i've read all your instagram, the shirt and tub. 30 most influential people. so yeah, i mean, it was really an honor to be to be featured and listed. but of course, everything that we do isn't so that we get listed somewhere ah, leaf is an enter printer and a local instagram celebrity. he's 37, he's estimated. net worth is $1000000.00. and he was kind enough to give us

a ride in his white lexus. his ass tv seems to be the most popular car in guitar. ah, how much time it will take to get from one end of the country to another to drive this into a question. i've never tried doing that, but i imagine just a few hours you can do. you can definitely do that ah, are driving to around doha capital. and actually the only large city in the kingdom takes 30 minutes tops and other distinctive feature of the upcoming world campaign news is compactness. it will take less than an hour to travel to any stadium in to tar. well, that is if you don't fancy making stops to just marbella, the cities landmarks is. we did a very fencing area. right? yes. i mean, if you want to be seen somewhere, you want to be seen, you know,

yeah, a lot of cars. i mean, this is another image of guitar that people have in mind. right. very rich nation, lot of fancy, expensive restaurants. none of that we wealthy people just like what countries in the worlds you're going to find a beautiful exotic supercars and you're gonna find, you know, the average normal car, right. or what i can tell you is that the country has definitely prioritized people . and so that means that, you know, providing us, you know, with education encouraging, you know, the youth to take higher education as well so that they can get, you know, the best possible job opportunities. and i think that's what i would love more people, you know, to know. i mean, you can have a rich country, but if the countries putting all of that richness just in its pocket, then there is, there is no benefit for the people, right? that's true when it comes to 2 people could tar spurs, no expense. but any country with a population of just 2800000, only about 350000 are considered citizens. the rest were talking 87 percent of the

population. our labor migrants and many of them work at the world comp construction sites. almost from day one of the preparations for the tournament. western media and human rights activists have come down on pets. heart pretty signs the need for the reportedly deplorable conditions for workers to live in just like russia before the 2014 olympics. and so she guitar has been subjected to constant media pressure from the west, every national and the whole story has to look at this criticism and realize what is true, what is constructive, what can i take to improve myself and what is coming out of motivations today there's a significant improvement and development on labor reform. we're very proud of the work that we've done. there's still a lot more work to be done. and we're still engaged with the critics that we believe. have genuine interest for development and improvement on board personified to want to use the secretary general of the supreme committee for hosting the world cup and guitar. and he's one of the most influential people. inca tari football

guitar has invested heavily in building this new state of the art stadiums and we've been to one this morning. so how would they be used when the fans and players have all gone? i mean, after all, you just don't have enough population to fill them. so all are stadiums have margin receipts that will reduce the capacity after the tournament. the capacity of the stadium will go down. so 440000 cedar stadium, some of the state has become 415000 seat stadiums that will fulfill the need of our local needs. and one particular stadium, it's been inspired by shipping containers after the tournament. you're disassemble the entire stadium. ah, me, you heard him right for the 1st time in world cup hate street and the stadium will be billed from shipping containers. and what's more, it will be completely dismantled after the tournament. ah, ah, wow. look at this. i mean,

the stadium is really taking shape. you can see the bowl and most of the stands now, when we were here a little bit over a year ago, at the same construction site, it was just the foundation and a few metal structures. so it seems that time wise, this idea to use shipping containers, this building block has definitely paid off. i mean, they're easy to assemble and easy to dismantle, just like playing with lego. mm. this part of the container is use other thought it says use. it's called minority loss. minnesota before the stadium slowed bearing structures are made of metal for strength. but all the facilities inside from public restrooms to locker rooms have basically been carved inside the containers. we have the flexibility in rebuilding the whole thing as opposed to the stadium that the phone book isn't even and oh,

how on the phone country like a stadium kit, you can carry it around the world whenever you're finished. take it with you and then build another one, a different place. and it's in it's in the counsel. many specialists from russia have been involved in building this particular stadium. and in the preparation for the tournament in general, after all, they gained considerable experience during the 2018 world cup. they took that ocean flores and they didn't need to book a he'd need senior your showings to me. jan at the mirror. she knew me to do her through. would you to do this with the new craft or even the rescue specifically say well no home teacher, someone goes into a district about the which is a parson and up the steve seen the debris area. oh,

just keep voice michelle in your stomach. the, receiving an entire army and visiting football fans is also going to be challenged culturally speaking. guitar is a muslim country, but its own laws and customs, many of which made the infer from what fans are used to at home. we came to dough high and 2019 when the city was hosting the club world cup final. it was interesting to see how locals got along with the foreigners they are having from so many so, so much different social and cultural background. isn't that going to make you uncomfortable known? i mean, no way the way the brazilian women and how they, you know, dressed up in the, just from what you have in the division of a 2. okay. that's okay. the way we can really get out is awesome. but the people visiting guitar will also have to adjust the cultural difference as just as the locals will the high,

i don't know about the time is better than to read some be know that don't have places to hook them out. yeah. yeah. so so what do you do? i mean, you go to the hotel or guitar is normally dry country where alcohol is prohibited. as a rule, you can procure, alcoholic beverage is here, except that if you expensive hotels that mostly cater to foreigners, but the authorities are going to relax restrictions for the world cup. yes, alcohol will be available. it won't be available on public because our call is not part of our culture. hospitality is part of our culture. so we will do is will offer it in certain places. certain funds also have alcohol. certain certain areas will have an alcohol. you won't be able to walk in the streets and drink she's the only one that was a great deal to music. would be much more like the pricing

for boys. don't complain if i'm out of human so, but we do pretty good teaching people with it. those are the local care, the other guitar is ready to go to great lengths to make visiting fans. feel at home that they ought not forget that in the end there are still gas. ah oh, the driven by dreams shaped by those vision in me ah,

dares thing we dare to ask me. ah, i don't know. some fits in there were rescuing the food that they were not scabbing or or where were rescuing resources that are still good. this is best by march 21st, which is in 2 days. all these potatoes, hall panels, onions, all of these came from waste round sources. this is great for me because i'm always looking for a way to give things away. dr. because the tax laws, you know, definitely do benefit the wealthier people and our society. so it makes sense for them to throw it out right off, rather than give it to somebody who could use it,

then that person is not going to buy it. i would hope that people are coming to the world cup more of the world cup and not because of the drink in you personally. you've never tried alcohol in your life. no, i haven't. i think actually when i went to the u. k. i somebody tried almost gave me something and when i smelled it, i think the smells weird to me. if i don't to be honest, if it's not like fire, you know, like why would anyone want to drink liquid fire? the guitar tournament will be the 1st in world cup history to be staged in the middle east. but unlike say, europe or south america, this part of the world hasn't been associated with the game of football until very recently. before football came into the picture, this was guitars for number one and nation's only passion, tamara racing. this place by the way, it's cold l. sheehan. nia. and it's one of the most famous camel tracks in the

whole of the middle east. it stopped like the equivalent of american or wembley, among football venues. and this is indeed a international turn him and we have teams from saudi arabia. we have teams from could tar to buy abu dhabi. so the cream of the crop they used to have children as jockeys, i, because of their weight and size, but then it was spend and so they switch to this robot shock is right here. so they put the one on top of a candle and then they use a remote control to turn on this automatic whip right here. so while actually, i think that football coaches could use the technology on lazy football players the locals. this is not just the traditional pastime, it's an industry with a huge amount of money to be made on racing camel can fetch from $50000.00 to

$1000000.00. and the prize money for winning a tournament could make someone wealthy overnight unless they are already wealthy. of course, which is bigger, entire campbell, racing or to football. it's a tough one. i think with the 2nd come the football has recently begun to attract way more attention and guitar. the country doesn't just want to do with decent job hosting the world cup. they want to make sure their national teams performance is also up to the mark ever since that tiny gold nation. one the right to house the people world cup it's national team been done as a dark horse or a capital if you will. as a whole,

country guitar will play the final phase of paternity anyway. but whether it's going to be able to put up a fight against the big football nation from europe and south america. that's the main question. like everyone's mind. shake to me him. he's good. tarry supreme ruler, his portrait can be seen everywhere around these parts from skyscrapers to cars. and he has already made it clear that he expects the national team to qualify for the play off at the very least for a nation that has never even qualified for the world cup before. that's quite an ambitious goal. but are the players up to the challenge? but yeah. ready? yes. ah,

there was a good jump. up until recently for hard. eunice was one of the goalkeepers took a tar national football team, but he lost his place in the squire due to injury. and now he plays only for local club, elder yon, in almost every good tardy club. you have borders on key positions. so they're, they are very influential in terms of the game, in terms of coaching and cetera. so it doesn't bother you, that boring or not could tarry. players and coaches are setting the tone in contrary football at the moment as i said, the best at football now. so when they come and play with us or coach us, i think they give us the information we need. we learn from them. do you believe that guitar national team has a chance at the upcoming world cup? yes, i believe so. do you think your team will qualify from the group?

yeah, i hope sunday i think so. we can do it. yeah, that would be a huge, huge news. you do this if you pull this up. i think, you know, i believe in my team that we can do the word of practice of calorie. ok. it's one of the 2 leading guitar e football clubs and even has a member of the royal family as a chairman. so that gives you some context. our, our yard is now coached viable, ron blonde, a former french defender, who played alongside and down and they want the 1998th world cup y p is not the only big name in category football these days, char v x bars to load us stories now coaching our yard arch, rival l sod. so all of these is a part of a bigger strategy to quickly elevate the level of cas hurry, football with the help skills and very expensive specialist

did money play any role in your decision to move here because, you know, everyone knows how generous the to is it is true, i wonder when i, when i am piano. so is not the 1st interest for me to go look at how big the gap this between european and guitar. football right now, in your opinion, we have the stadium, the district joyce, and believable. the structure of the stage and we have web depletion, we have the organization of the walk of 2022, but not enough is not enough. i think the most important to younger, please do you know your repair. well, this enormous financial resources guitar probably didn't have to go through all this trouble. they could have promised huge payouts to highly skilled athletes to encourage them to switch nationalities and play for their national team. that's actually fairly common in sports, particularly in football. but guitar has chosen another in 2019 guitar one

the asian car, the major football tournament on the continent, steven b japan and the final re one which raised a lot of eyebrows. this is so far the greatest already get shipment in the country's history. now not many people know though that 70 percent of that big tory a squad were graduates of a fire academy is state of the art sporting school in doha. even the wealthiest european clubs my and being infrastructure like this vast space containing top notch football pitches. some of the best coaches and doctors from all over the world have come here to work. the facilities also boast venue is for table tennis fencing and track and field, and that's not all good. perry, kids can benefit from the latest development in sports science. this is called a foot betron parish. adornment owns one of these machines and these bar academy owns another. saw the ball will come from,

from all over there. i stop it. and then the machine, the, all the measurement counts. the percentage of heads, the time it takes. because it's important for me not to take too much time to control the ball. i need to be passed. i need to be precise. that's what the machine trains all players were given a tour of the academy by marcus agra from austria. he's the man behind all the recent success to read both sports franchises from formula one to football. as we're walking around, we witness a scene that perfectly demonstrates the academy and could tar is approach to sports in general. every injured teenage player here as a personal, physical therapist to monitor their rehabilitation. being in a small country with a small talent pool, we have to on our attention on those talent that we have. and we cannot afford

losing anyone because this is not like football, a big football club where you have losing of the left back on the, on the 17 and that are out of madrid. you know that there are 200 of guys waiting for their chance. we don't have at least 13 as far academy alumni have a chance to make a tours national team for the 2022 world cup. and again, football is not the only support that gets attention at the academy. we have what i would call a constant pipeline of strong individual athletes that is in athletics, in fencing in table tennis in swimming squash. and now recently we're started with motor sports with bike racing. i think in terms of single biggest achievement

or even be biggest athletes, one cannot devoid mentioning will to us by the shim, who is arrested. many people, people who believe that he will be the one, maybe one. they are breaking the very old world record of to meet this 45 in the high jump. ah, of course there are countries that would make the job of hosting the world cup look much easier, but easier. it doesn't always mean batter guitars. climate is extremely dry to almost nothing grows here. for a long time, the country imported fresh fruit and vegetables from the neighboring countries, just because it was easier. but then could tars relations with its neighbors, deteriorated and guitar had to develop its own agriculture. it was difficult to learn how to grow 1st rate tomatoes in the desert. and now the country doesn't have to depend on any one. hosting and football tournament of this,

cale seen. a huge challenge and guitar has yet to show the entire world what the have achieved. but even at this stage, it's fair to say that when you put a lot of effort into something, when you don't skimp on the smaller details instead truly ambitious goals. this approach will bear fruit, ah ah ah, join me every thursday on the alec simon show when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business and show business. i'll see you then me

we're here in saint petersburg at the international economic form, and the topic of our program is the global economy. how is it changed since coven, for the winter, for the losers? what are the challenges? and what are the opportunities? as a korea professionals bought is much tougher on some than others year old myer by everybody. so why would somebody believe me? i was just a little girl. the price paid to, to, to achieve really was, was to read in the paper this morning, usa swimming coach, arrested, allegedly had sex with a 12 year old girl. this happens almost every week. we get calls at the office. i get informed about one of my greatest fears is someone's going to start linking all this together. there's going to be a 60 minute documentary about youth coaches in sports like gymnastics

swimming. is that documentary? see it on our team. the, the group of 7 leaders meet for the 1st time since the start of the panoramic with back scenes on climate change, high on the agenda. but there's also a focus on russia and china and also my colleagues do feel a sense of deep sense of control. we have young police officers who by age alone will not vaccinated. how can not be ranked u. k. police chiefs raised the alarm over a lack of vaccinations for the for summit fears the $5000.00 on the job. the officers at the g 7 summit could become coven super spreaders. in new york, parents declare war. all walk in doctrine, nation and school.
