1:34 pm
even if the weather is okay for spectators, it can still be challenged for the players to 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, ah, do you know what they call you in the media? i know you tell me, dr. cool. do you like that? i like it. i don't like it. so the portrait you must have mind behind all these sophisticated cooling system and guitar. yeah, i don't like it because it is a group effort. there's a team effort. there's not only my, my, my says the 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,
1:35 pm
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. it's a completely objective device, right? yeah, yes and, and if you go where people playing it, you don't mean it's, it's close to the vend but what go in the middle of the page. never because we didn't put the whole stadium on for you. we put only only the sector, but we have, we have a form of the law is 90 degrees celsius during a game. yes, i can make even lower. ah, even building just one stadium will cost to your 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
1:36 pm
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, in so we have going to go ahead, train metro frame to see what the city public transport is like the network has 3 lines, 37 stations and is somebody 6 kilometers long? you would expect that this is the place where the train driver would sit by all the trains and heart computerized me. ah, the tires world cup could be the most expensive ever, but what it's worth this country doesn't seem to see that as a problem. because guitar has the
1:37 pm
world's 3rd largest gas reserves. this tiny middle eastern state is deemed the wealthiest country on the planet by per capita income. you are lucky enough to be born here like a leaf, and you will most likely never be in need of it down. i've read all your instagram that you featured in top 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 guitars who's how much and it will take
1:38 pm
to get from one end of the country to another to drive this 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 feeding the kingdom takes 30 minutes tops and other distinctive feature of the upcoming world campaign news. is compactness, will take less than an hour to travel to any stadium and guitar. well, that is, if you don't fancy making stops to just marvel at 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 fancy cars. i mean this is another image of the tara 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
1:39 pm
the worlds you're going to find beautiful, exotic supercars, and you're going to find, you know, the average normal car, right. or what i can tell you is that the country has definitely prioritize people . and so that means that, you know, providing us, you know, with education encouraging, you know, the use 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 country's 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 its people can tar spurs, no expense, but in the country with a population of just 2800000, only about 350000 are considered citizens. the rest, we're talking 87 percent of the population. our labor migrants and many of them work at the world cup construction site. almost from day one of the preparations for the tournament. western media and human rights activists have come down on are
1:40 pm
pretty size any further reportedly deplorable conditions for workers to living. just like russia before, the 2014 olympics and so cheap guitar has been subjected to constant media pressure from the west. every nation, when they host these 200 has to look at these 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 engaging 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 stadiums have modular
1:41 pm
seats that will reduce the capacity after the tournament. the capacity of the state 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. disassemble the entire stadium. me. you heard him right for the 1st time in world history, the stadium will be built from shipping containers and what's more, it will be completely dismantled after the tournament. 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 a foundation and a few metal structures. it seems that time wise, this idea shipping containers,
1:42 pm
this building blocks 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 content is used as a thought. it says use gold. and if it's a minority last minute toilet, 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 a default location and even and oh, hold on the phone, country like a stadium kit. you can carry it around the world whenever you finish taking with you and then build another one, a different place. and it's in,
1:43 pm
it's in it called so 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. so they took that ocean flores and he was very near shame senior. your position is to me, james and the mirror with the number she knew me to do her through. could you do say that if it was still in your crap or even that she gets bitterly say, well, no, him to just goes into a about the which is a parson please. you've seen that teachers cute with mr lane. you're 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,
1:44 pm
many of which made the infer from what fans are used to at home. we came to jo high in 2019 when the city was hosting the club world cup final. it was interesting to see how locals got along with the foreigners there having from so many so much different social and cultural background. yeah. isn't that going to make you uncomfortable? no, i mean, no way the brazilian women and how they dressed up and they just don't have a division of it. so. okay. that's okay. the way we really got out is awesome. but the people visiting could tar. we'll also have to adjust the cultural difference as just as the locals will know. hi, i don't know about the time is better to read some be know that don't have places to hook them out. yeah. yeah. so, so what do you do?
1:45 pm
i mean go to the hotel going to do it was 3 or guitar is normally dry country where alcohol is prohibited. as a rule, you can procure alcoholic beverages here. it's tablet a few expensive hotels that mostly catered to foreigners. but the authorities are going to relax restrictions for the world cup. yes, alcohol will be available. it won't be available in 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 fans also have alcohol, certain certain areas will have alcohol, you won't be able to walk in the streets and drink, put us because she's different loan and it was a great deal to me if you have more things to be much more broken from bullet point if i'm out of human so, but lucas, because he's reaching
1:46 pm
a local care. but other guitars ready to go to great lengths to make visiting fans. feel at home, but they ought not forget that in the end they are still ghast. ah, ah, i was sanction. have rarely worked rarely work except maybe a week, maybe a month. but the world always figures a way to get around the same. whether it's the black, whatever it is that was anxious, don't work. politicians, you get the city and they say see, i am saving the world, saving themselves and they're making friends, which the
1:47 pm
i think most likely is that we will find equipment floating for space that was sent by an advantage to be like the experience will be similar to walking on the beach, most of the time use the rocks or the shells that were produced naturally. but every now and then you encounter a plastic model and that gives you an important message even if it's not functional . he says that the realization is out there. ah. i hope that people are coming to the world cup for the world cup and not because of the drink in utah 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?
1:48 pm
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 toward number one and nation's only passion campbell racing. this place, by the way, it's cold l. sheehan. nia. and it's one of the most famous camel tracks in the hold of the middle east at stop 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 switched to this robot shock is right here. so they put the one on top of a candle and then the you a remote control to turn on this automatic whip right here. so while actually,
1:49 pm
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 at the top one, i think with the 2nd come
1:50 pm
the woodman 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 the tiny gold nation, one the right to house the people world cup its national team been dumped as a dark horse or a capital if you will. as a whole, country guitar will play the final stage 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
1:51 pm
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, ah, there was a good jump. up until recently the hot eunice was one of the goalkeeper spoke a tars national football team, but he lost his place in the squire due to injury. and now he plays only for a local club, our yon, in almost every good hurry club. you have borders on key positions. so there they are very influential in terms of the game, in terms of coaching, etc. so it doesn't bother you, that boring or not could tarry. players and coaches are setting the tone in
1:52 pm
contrary football at the moment as i said, the best of football now. so when they come and play with us, our 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. 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 with the word a practice of calorie. ok. it's one of the 2 leading guitar e football clubs and it even has a member of the royal family as a chairman. so that gives you some context. our yard is now coached viable. ron blonde, a former french defender, who played alongside don and they want the 1998th world cup. what he is not the
1:53 pm
only big name in category football, these days choppy adverse. the lone star is 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. i did money play any role in your decision to move here because you know, everyone knows how generous the to is. it is the 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 is between european and guitar. he football right now, in your opinion, we have the stadium, the district uses and believable the structure of the stadium. 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 the younger, the, the,
1:54 pm
you know, you get a repeat what it's 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 football, but guitar has chosen another path in 2009 team guitar one. the asian got the major football tournament on the conference even be japan in the final rate 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 squad were graduates of a fire academy, is state of the art sporting school in doha. even the wealthiest european clubs might envy infrastructure like this. and vast space
1:55 pm
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 guitar. kids can benefit from the latest developments in sports science. this is called a foot betron parish adornment. only one of these machines and the expiry can me owns another saw the ball will come from from all over there. i stop it and then the machine, the, all the measurement count, 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 cost. 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 is the man behind all the recent success of the read both sports franchises from formula one to football. as
1:56 pm
we're walking around, we witness the scene that perfectly demonstrates the academy and could tar is approach to sports in general, every injured teenage player here has a personal physical therapist who monitor is their rehabilitation. being in a small country with a small talent pool, we have to focus 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 the left back on the, on the 17th that are out of madrid. you know that there are 2 hundreds of guys waiting for their chance. we don't have at least 13 as bar academy alumni have a chance to make a tars national team for the 2022 world cup. and again, football is not only for them gets attention at the academy. ah,
1:57 pm
we have what i would call a constant pipeline of strong in the video. and that is in athletics, in fencing in table tennis in swimming squash. and now recently we're talking with motor sport with bike racing. i think in terms of single biggest achievement or even be biggest athletes, one can all devoid mentioning will to us by the shim, who is there are still many people. people who believe that he will be the one, maybe one. they are breaking the very old world record of 2 mentors. 45 in the high jump. ah, of course there are countries that would make the job of housing. the world cup look much easier, but easier. it doesn't always mean battery guitars. climate is extremely dry. so
1:58 pm
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 pretty straight tomatoes in the desert. and now the country doesn't have to depend on anyone. hosting it football tournament of this scale seemed a huge challenge. and guitar has yet to show the entire world what they 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,
1:59 pm
2:00 pm
the the, the, the the headlines and i've been mean, you know, whose long range his re leader comes to an end as a parliament in you. if extremely fragile coalition for started to come, restoring contact and organizing direct dialog latitudes, and expect ations for the upcoming summer, joe biden. also to come in review of the week, the french president get slapped in the face while guessing up close and over the crowd is supposed to support this in the fact of from and after being banned from operating in nigeria, twitter christ.
