it doesn't get a constructive answer from the west on its security demands. the foreign minister saga, elaborate also side moscow doesn't want the you, nor the organization of security and cooperation in europe involved in talks to ease tensions over ukraine. western powers are showing up defenses against the possible russian invasion. so the u. s. is working with gas ex borders to limit europe's dependence on russian gas, cars, emir. we'll visit the white house on monday. the crisis has prompted one of the biggest mobilizations of western for in europe. now a 3rd shipment of american weapons and ammunition arrived in kiev on tuesday. and at the same time, ross was holding a week of military drills near the border with ukraine and in antics crimea. but it says it has no plans to attack versus baris covering all things russia for us. she's joining us from moscow in georgia. what are we to read into the foreign minister as comments when he says rushes ready to take appropriate measures? if he expand on that at all, well, he kept saying his vague are, as he usually does because it really rushes now waiting for that official written response from the u. s. government about the security guarantees that they want to have from the u. s. and nato, about their possible expansion of the 30 member alliance. the russian foreign minister was giving a briefing at the state parliament that isn't called the duma here. and he also spoke briefly to journalists outside the parliament. and he went on to say that they expect a response from the americans in the appropriate amount of time that they've given them. that is by the end of this week. and there's no reason to believe that the americans won't deliver in time. he also said that they have to look out for the best interests, rushes thinking about are only its own interest right now. and that they will do whatever is necessary if they don't get the response that they're looking for it. a survey lover of also went on to say that they believe the west has gotten that themselves into this situation that they're in now they've back themselves into a corner in terms of really supporting ukraine and creating what they call a false narrative. interesting enough, we've also been hearing from other and peas and senators in the government who are now floating the idea and supporting a possible idea of the kremlin as supplying arms to the i'm self claim, dumbass republic. that is the 1st we've heard of this idea, and it is something that both houses of parliament are now saying they would support and they are going to take it to the government to see whether or not that will move forward. if they choose to support the separatist movements, they're officially with weapons. this will certainly be very much a game changer that dynamic that is currently ongoing. we also are expecting a meeting that is taking place in paris to be wrapped up shortly. and we're going to hear from the russian, a negotiator who's there speaking with officials from ukraine, france and germany. this meeting was scheduled to take place between the 4 countries, and we are going to find out what they've discussed in the next few hours. the general consensus here is that in the coming few days, we'll have a much better idea of what the americans will come back with in terms of a response. and then the russians will decide how to move forward over time. being the military drills are continuing alongside the border with ukraine as well as the schedule drills they have with bell roof take place in february. all right, so thank you so much. dorothy jabari reporting from moscow, while the ukrainian foreign minister admits that the number of russian troops i'm asked at the border is a direct threat. but for now it's insufficient for a full scale attack. model are they are, they still lack some important military indicators. and systems to conduct such a large, full scale offense. it doesn't mean that they want to be able to build up this this force up to the sufficient level within certain period of time. well, let's find out what's going on. an eastern ukraine has to have me just joining us from this. so tell us what the mood is like where you are and what people have been telling you. well, most people have been telling me, actually, ah, that really this little, this sort of threats of a russian invasion has become part of their lives. they've got used to it over the past 8 years and they don't really follow it very closely. armeno do this part of the country is where most of the fighting happened back in 2014 and 15 . this is where you have these flare up sometimes along the contact line. and this is where people have suffered the most. but when you ask them, do you believe that there's going to be an all out war a very soon it you, surprisingly enough, despite all the warnings of the politicians, despite all the m weapons, arriving into the country. people tell you, they don't believe it's going to happen any time soon, or they tell you that if it does this time is going to be very different. because they do believe that now do ukrainian armies in better shape than back in 2014 met . when you really in this part of the country are you don't get that sense of panic . he don't get that sense that you know, an all out conflict or the could be, be a major escalation any time soon. um, people are just going on with their, with their daily lives, even though they are the ones that are actually living. and with this conflict on a daily basis as our report. busy in the winter see the landscape of the frontline of this conflict seems frozen in time. the ukrainian army is entrenched just a few kilometers north of done. yes. the stronghold of russian back separatist. the enemy is not far away. a 70 to one phone with me. so as they can, their heroes to the army has moved into what is left of the industrial area on the outskirts of, at the fca. the conflict also seems to be frozen in time. needless side making gains since the war broke out in 2014. few soldiers believed that the large scale russian invasion is imminent. even if they remain on the alert. i shocker york was so it's a door to use and i think this is all a move to the stabilize the situation inside the country was been going on for a years now, but we're trained, we have modern weapons and the hell from nato was arriving. but we feel the support and we are ready to fight and just don't q gunshots from the other side. in clear violation of disease by agreement, which international monitor say, is regularly breached by both sides. but even of the conflict has been at that stage made for several years now. life has never really fully recovered in the towns and villages along the contact line. people here feeling that their lives have also been put on hold somehow. the population of ad viva is a 3rd smaller than before. the war started alena yohina, and yet in the us they love sky among the very few who never left their hometown. beneath the giggles in the tool of the conflict is apparent. their story was the reflection of the frontline in some way. i am aaliyah's as ukrainian and then the some of her close relative support to separate. just know him to stick out enough. those that are near and get turned their back on us you. they have their own vision about what's happening and they say really are not cease. what are some even called me an enemy and the full meaning of the word annually. and then moved here from siberia, when the soviet union still existed, said at now my pleasure, my relatives are all over russia. and when the war started, they told me i had to return with it. but i have my house and family here. many of them mine the military, so for them, i betrayed my leech, and as to russia, people here have learned to live to the rhythm of the front line. but the devastating effect of this long sluggish war will impact their lives many say for several generations to come. lit up the law, me the algebra at v fca in eastern ukraine or european nations, are concerned about how tensions with russia over ukraine could affect their supplies of gas. europe gets more than 40 percent of its natural gas from russia, about a 3rd of that passes through ukraine. moscow has already reduced the amount flowing into europe, causing shortages on pushing prices to record levels. rush us threatening to cut supplies further if sanctions are imposed and not just on gas but also on oil and metals. some countries are more relying than others. germany gets more than half it supplies from russia. and the nor in stream to pipeline would increase that if the german government gives the project it's final approval. cornelia meyer is an oil and gas specialist at an seo admire resources. she says germany's new government is skeptical of moscow. what we seen so far is because of the cheer political sanction is also because reza wise, not just only in our storage, not just only in europe, but also in russia. we're sort of made depleted after the harsh winter of last year . there was less gas flowing and burn so, but if the, if the russians really make good on their threat of sending even less gas, dad will send prices storing, you know, europe gets gas through l. m g gets it wrong. them from the mediterranean. it also gets it from norway. barden, russia is very important and if there is in the, if there was more tension and that means prices are going to go up, north didn't go is very important to germany. it's important to some other northern european countries as well, but it, it is and, and put in is certainly a honing in on that. but, you know, with the previous government, it was, it was, it was some, a no tough thing now that we have to greens and the german government who are much more skeptical is especially d. m. foreign minister under linda blair, burbock much was skeptical of russia. it's not quite as sacrosanct in the truman government any more as it used to be. once more had on the al jazeera in his hour, including tropical storm honor sweeps through southern africa, causing widespread flooding. dozens of people had been killed in madagascar and celebrations as well as protests on australia's national day and why some suit should be renamed invasion day and in sport action from the australian open as one of the top seeds and immense rome races into the semi finals ah, 1st the u. k. prime minister wars johnson has continued to resist calls to resign as he faced mpg in parliament, johnson refused to comment on an internal investigation into whether his government held gatherings in breach of covered 19 rules. the findings are expected to be published soon. police are also investigating the opposition leader chair stammer called on johnson to stand down suggesting he broke the ministerial code house before on the 1st of december, the promised to told this house in relation to parties doing locked down. all guidance was followed completely in number 10 from that dispatch box. on the 8th of december looks quizzical. he said it. on the 8th of december, the prime minister told this house. i have been repeatedly assured since these allegations of merge the walls no party. so since he acknowledges the minister of quote applies to him, will not resign. lo, the issue that he raises is important, or there is simply no way is he knows as a lawyer that i can comment on the investigation that he's currently not taking but what, what he also does, he talks about the most serious issue. but the, me to, for the most serious issue before the public today before the well today, it's almost as i use in ignorance of the fact that mister speaker, that we have a crisis on the borders of ukraine are less cross to paul brandon, who's joining us from danny street in london. so paula, you know, there was a lot of shouting and there was a lot of laughter and cheering as well. but did we hear anything new from the prime minister? was it typically boisterous and rowdy session of prime minister's questions? it happens once a week on a wednesday at noon, and generally the prime minister and the leader of the opposition kissed alma go at each other, but the atmosphere has been particularly tense. every recent weeks. with this party gate scandal, which is frankly engulfing the prime minister and although premises questions is generally tribal, if the conservatives of the prime minister's side against the labor and peace of kiss darma at the moment kiss at the mom of boris johnson is actually having to work very hard to keep his own mph or in support of it, on his own, on his side, because there are misgivings, lodge, misgivings about the way that the prime minister has handled recent months. frankly, as far as whether we heard anything new, we didn't especially, and the reason why is because the internal investigation that you mentioned in the introduction. this is a report by a woman call sue gray, a senior civil servant who has looked into exactly what happened in the building behind men in the garden of the building behind me in 2020. when the rest of the u . k. was in a cove, it looked down, and yet there seemed to be gatherings in contravention of those at lockdown rules here amongst the people that were actually making the rules that report is now. yes . now we as of an hour ago, danny street still haven't received it. and the protocol of. busy how it's going to be released to the public is mired in debate as to whether the opposition and peas and, and the leader of the opposition should get a copy 1st so that they can digest it before boris johnson stands up in parliament and makes a statement about his oh, exactly. how much of the report will be released? how much would be redacted if any. so there's a lot of questions that are remaining unanswered about the, the nature of the report and exactly how it's going to make its way into the public domain. a while that clock is ticking, the anticipation of his and the pressure created by that anticipation simply grows around the prime minister. i know this might be a difficult question to answer, paul, because there's been a lot of uncertainty surrounding this report as you've been telling us, but i mean, it isn't going to be released and published today's do we think the there are strong indications that it, it will be at some point later today, but there are no guarantees, and if it don't, don't forget, it was initially predicted that the report would be issued by the tail end of last week. it was then pushed forward to the start of this week because there was the need for a su grey to speak to dominic cummings, or the former special adviser to boris johnson. in the end, it wasn't a spoken interview. it was written evidence that dominic cummings submitted, ah, and then we have the complication of the metropolitan police. that is the police force that governs london and surrounding areas. now they have started their own criminal investigation into the events that took place at various gatherings here at downing street in that relevant period. and that has also put a potential spanner in the works as to exactly how the report can be released without treading on the toes of the met police's investigation. the police say they have no problem with su grey's report being released. it won't affect them down the street though is, is taking a rather more cautious view on this. and yeah that, that taking advice before the year before that, that the report actually makes its way into the public domain. okay. thank you paul . paul van n reporting from downing street and jonathan, this is a political commentator. he says that it's unclear whether johnson will be able to survive this scandal. it's really hard to say and the the question of the change is every day you like i'm because the story moving say past 2 weeks ago, fema, he was completely gone. the last week is position seem to be a little bit stronger, really on the polls now, very clear that people have lost trust and faith invoice johnson. they don't like it and they made on their minds about him. amongst the public is made up its mind about 5 minutes. they normally don't change it back again. at the break is the concept is that the longer they drive on the move, the whole concept party brand will be drive on. and that will make you like, and so i think it's in the interest of confessed, is it nothing else to end this and end to leadership as well. the longer the gone, the better to the later part of the you're enjoying with the chaos and will be a leadership let, you know, obviously, obviously invest carried unrest. acoustic does. is it periods of prolonged caled than the need to have time to bet in really the time to do that is 2 years before an election rather than 6 months before an election. for example, when boys johnson has tainted the prime starter, really, if they need to get rid of the time d, that is now not in, in their interest in the national interest. because both johnson doesn't have the model. dorothy police, the saudi coalition. funny man has lost air strikes and the capital sent off. the charge that's included who's the military faith, as well as a national tv and radio tower. that's after the rebels to control the capital fired more missiles towards i would be in the united arab emirates on monday, the u. e says it intercepted and destroyed them home. a lot thought was more from the as how did it quality and it strikes have namely targeted a number of areas in santa, especially the, the radio and tv tower, which is situated in the north of the downtown of santa this, this tower was head according to the hotel sosa's, we have also went there by the this is you, so a military side, we couldn't do the inside this area. it's used to be for the tv and radio broadcast tower. that is, that was covering the local areas. but so far to these of lights have been launched as be launched, the, the, they have, they have to transfer this kind of broadcast to the satellite channels. but now we will also be the saudi lit quality. 0 strikes have continued over the night of tuesday and continued until the early hours of wednesday. well, it used to be a booming industry and producing some of human leading exports. but years of conflicts have damage the fishing industry. many fishermen say it's true dangerous and expensive to continue. going to see capture lopez hurry on has more. from above, the view appears to show a city unaffected by humans who are but agents coastline. so for story, one of centureman struggling come against me. more 100 young is one of them. he remembers when thousands of fishing boats ventured onto the red sea, coming back with tuna sardine foster. now there are fewer fishermen and fewer prospects. i divide more de la garza, the votes, and fisher materials have gone up to fighting an insecure. it is really affecting us cannot clinical life in general is more difficult, but the method of the food was suited seafood was among humans, topics, pools bird with years of fighting its ports and processing sites have been to throught fishermen had been killed and thousands more displaced like i know you know that out. yeah. maybe i'll dais unpredictability. it all depends on supply and demand. sometimes we buy a good catch from the local fisherman and we make a profit. other days we lose money. moved to humans. 30000000 people in the sense of humanitarian aid going fish has become a luxury. many can't afford. prices have doubled in some areas. so more fishermen are sensing their catch abroad for higher profit. about 500000 people, worked in the fishing industry before the war. now that employs less than half with limited fuel, many can't afford higher petrol prices for their vote, and others can get out of debt. i didn't manage unless i didn't them got loma. the reports of fishermen who are killed at sea aren't made of me, but we know some of them got shot because they got into restricted waters. said guy zones were fishing is off limits because of the conflict. but fishermen see the industry though damaged, is still a vital part of the community and their livelihoods. they hope in time, things didn't prove for them and their country cars. hello. this is leanne l 0. at least 39 people have been killed. after a tropical storm anna swept through madagascar. it brought a heavy rain

on the al jazeera news, our brush us foreign minister says appropriate measures will be taken if the u. s. fails to respond to security demands moscow on the guarantees that ukraine will not join nato

fighting in the oven has launched airstrikes in the capitol center. the targets included with the military sites, as well as a national tv and radio tower. while the crisis between russia and ukraine

british french and danish pilots. western powers a holding their response to russia's military, build up new ukraine with a display of combat readiness. the danes have also said fighter jets and a frigate to join nato efforts and the baltic. do too much of the alliance risks being drawn into a conflict to the country. they have no treaty obligation to protect due to little and a potential russian invasion risk destabilizing, not just ukraine, but the entire region. if the worst happens in the destructive far part of the russian army were to engulf ukraine's towns and cities, i shudder to contemplate the tragedy that would in it and the bloodshed comparable to the 1st. who in chechnya or bosnia $4000.00 nato troops are on standby in the baltic states as sonya levia and lithuania, once part of the soviet union, there now ardent nato members and thousands more reinforcements are ready to deploy their in ukraine itself, small contingents of american and british troops have been

planning to install this man as a puppet president, following a successful takeover of the country. russia dismissed the claims, true or false, nato wants russia to know its joint intelligence efforts

was alma, it is possible, but unfortunately this possibility on the part of ukraine is in relation to nato. you see the west, the western countries and give are shouting out about russian aggression. you, but more than 120000 ukranian troops are concentrated in don butler, lebanon has signed an agreement with jordan to receive electricity through syria. the deal won't face any us sanctions after receiving a special waiver from washington. yet the transaction is not expected to solve lebanon's power shortages. it's instead being seen as a breakthrough for the syrian president, bashar, as heads regime, xena, 100 reports from bay roots. it's a deal that's supposed to help lebanon with its acute energy crisis. but officials acknowledge this was about much more jordan will supply electricity through syria in a step towards ending that countries. isolation is really the cooperation between the states that we are talking about here that we want that assessment has suffered over the last year. and it is time really 3 been the work. this is the 1st time a member of syrian president, bashar assad government has come to be root in an official capacity. in more than a decade, syria has been shown by much of the world for its harsh crack down on peaceful protesters. lebanon never cut ties with syria, but relations with president, i said, are a divisive issue here. so successive governments avoided engaging with the syrians until now, but serious permission alone was not enough for the deal to be agreed. the bite and administration granted an exception on humanitarian ground to us sanctions that prohibit transactions with the assad government. recently viewed by address relationships to policy, i think there are 2 main reasons. first is to to balance or communicate liberal dependence on, on for energy, especially after has been imported guys and fewer from your own last year. and 2nd is to maintain us influencing the washington appears to have turned a blind eye. as i said, syria gradually returns to the arab fold, but insists it won't support normalization with us as a government without a political solution to the conflict and the country. but those exemptions are not sufficient enough, i think in order to say that syria is qualified or is accepted by the international community, especially the united states, to go back to the arabic. but those objections haven't stood in the way of a deal that will provide more than 2 additional hours of l. tricity a day for study we this year in government supports all phases of arab normalization and cooperation. power outages are lasting, 22 hours a day in a country that's nearly bankrupt and camped by fuel. and were politicians refuse to reform a crumbling sector, riddled with corruption. instead, they are accused of focusing on short term fixes that appear to prioritize the politics behind the deal that they're elisha theater. they route well, hong kong 0 covet policy has been challenged by the army. kron variant. a corona virus locked down in 3 apartment blocks has been tightened. at least 200 people in one housing, a state of tested positive for credit reports, anger and disappointment. the thousands of residents confined to their homes on the quite an estate. one of hong kong, largest public housing complexes a 5 day lockdown was supposed to end wednesday until more infections were detected to play safe, protecting the our residents as well as preventing the spread of their sod virus. we have no choice, but to extend the i restricted testing declaration for another 2 days. those in lockdown say the government orders have been confusing. she at home came out a little, the government announced arrangement very late. we have no idea when to go for to matters rate us. i think the government's plan is without the vision, so it is inconvenient for our to like be. we are not familiar with smartphones. people living here say that the daily cues for testing make them anxious, because the area is overcrowded and waiting times can be too long for hygiene conditions and piles of rubbish are all so a concern, fries on detail. very bell tangle. there is garbage in the staircases every day. the government's arrangement is very bad too. as you can see from this queue, it is much easier to get clothing. and many worry that the strict locked down will be extended beyond friday and into the chinese lunar new year holiday, which begins next week. the restrictions are part of hong kong goal of stamping out all cove transmission. yeah, i think the, the reason why we are adopting a dynamic there will policies to minimize the stress on the health care system. or even though in the crime, we know that it's very mall disease. and then of course, currently del, relatively few cases in hospital and i think non in our to you right now, the strict locked down here at quite till the state is an unprecedented move by the hong kong government. it's similar to the strategies seen across the border and mainland china, which also takes a no tolerance approached of, of iris concern to in china's capital. the winter olympics are due to start next week in beijing mass testing for 2000000 reh students. he's underway in the southern front high district of beijing as infections, their increase china hopes, mass testing and aggressive quarantine rules will contain the virus. but as it prepares to ring in the year of the tiger, ongoing restrictions of proving that army kron is tough to tame brit clinic al jazeera hong kong corona virus cases

quite large. which lane ever sure and learn about your strengths and cinema. kathy says, australia, i should be an event that allows the country to reunite a view that supported by an increasing number of people in australia. sir o'clock, i'll da 0 brisbin australia in november last year, i'll just 0 reported on the case of one young kurdish man who survived freezing temperatures in the forest between poland dunbar rufe. he was one of thousands who arrived on the use border as believing they could find a better life. but they were met with a tough response from polish authorities. are corresponding jona hall returned to the board or to find him and hear his story. lose you away in these woodson you could be wondering for days yet even deep winter doesn't discourage them. border guard video is said to show some of the dozens of attempt still being made each day to cross from bell ross into poland and the european union. for the few that make it an unpleasant welcome awaits indefinite detention in crowded, militarized barracks with bod, windows and limited access to the outside world. less asylum seekers than prisoners and a breach of international law can pick a camp is like a prison and does not represent europe most to the people he came from that countries because of the pain. they shouldn't be abused a 2nd time. it's like torture. that was the voice of alarmed ahmed, hama, a kurdish refugee who had hoped to reach his mother living in the u. k. we 1st met holland in a polish hospital in december, in obvious distress, having been rescued in the forest with both. mm. he was taken away shortly afterwards by the border gods despite pleased by human rights activist, monica, to full cosca, that he be given. mental health support. alarmed was detained. he's a, she is taking me sunday the noodles and he's very upset to be in a place like that on if he doesn't fully understand it. he knows that he crossed the border legally, but he doesn't understand why he finds himself in conditions like that book on up to 1800 detained asylum seekers. in 8 camps have launched hunger strikes and sometimes violent protests over conditions. the polish government says, this is why they're locked up in the 1st place, aid agencies call it a deliberate policy of deterrence. my name is run out and i want them to come in for them. maybe he to ended up in detention. this isn't worse than them because you know, even, and then you know, when you get out, you can make sure you easily, you can, you know, if you have access to a 2 edition that can come in here and there's, nobody can come here and you don't know when you can will, and that's the borderline over there. through that gap in the forest, on the other side, bella roost where several 100 people remain of the few 1000. the last year bella roost actively encouraged to break, came to poland and the european union. it touched off a geopolitical and humanitarian crisis. that's no longer making headlines around the world, but is no less of an old deal for those still involved. they will surely now know that the promise both of easy entry into the e u, and that it would accept them. where lies jonah haul al jazeera, near the poland bell rous border. the i asked once l salvador to stop using bitcoin as a legal tender, and it says the use of the crypto currency poses risks to financial stability and consumers. i'll tell the door as president supported the adoption of bit coin as a currency back in september. john home and reports from san salvador la september and south. the was a 1st country in the world to approve the use of bitcoin, the crypto currency as legal tender along with the currency that have been used for some time in the country, which is the us dollar. as you can see, one of the cash points behind me could chiva, which you can change bit coins into dollars. but this tuesday, the international monetary fund has said, has recommended that the contract you stop doing that, that they stopped using bitcoin as one of the legal currencies in the country. the reason for that, they say that it could impact the financial at system and institutions that it could also carry a risk, the consumers in the country because bitcoin goes up. but it also goes down. this is a pretty volatile crypto currency. now that can be a problem for salvador, and that's because the country is quite in debt. and it's been looking for a loan from the, from the international monetary fund to one of the things that the international monetary fund has been worried about. given that load has been the use of bitcoin in the country. so now it seems, there's 2 ways that president naive bu kelly can go. he can even stop using it unlikely, possibly get that help from the international monetary fund. or he can double down on big coit, which is actually planning to do at the moment. he's planning a big coined city in which bitcoin is mind. he's also planning so called volcano bonds, which are about a volcano that can be mind cuz it energy can be used to my big coin. and he's aiming to sell those, those a link to help with bitcoin as well. so a sort of decision point is approaching for this country or salvador to really go with big coin this potentially lucrative or bullet, but also volatile crypto currency, or perhaps to go with the help from the international monetary fund. still ahead on the al jazeera news, our one of baseball's greats is inducted into the hall of fame. we'll have details in this course bulletin, right after the break. ah, ah. with full. ah. ah. hello again, tom for the sports is here, sir. thank you. sorry. what we saw at the africa cup of nations where questions are being asked why senegal allowed their strike aside your money to play on the 10 minutes after being knocked out on the pitch. now he collided with kate vote a goalkeeper early in the 2nd half visibly shaken. he still got top unpaid just you'll see off to the day you go. now while the goalkeeper was shown a red hot and taken to hospital, but 9 minutes later manet than gold, the opening goal of the game for cynical who went on to win to nail, to reach the quarter finals bought shortly after that goal. he complained of a headache and dizziness you see is not the can see good, there was substituted, then take him to hospital for checks. well, thankfully he shed this picture on his instagram of him and hostile, alongside kept physique keeper was senior. both of them in good spirits is somewhat clay, though if money will be fit to pay the court to final against the molly or toil guinea, who paid later on wednesday. i recall the other match on tuesday, so morocco fights from a gold down to beat below we to know milan. we took the lead with an incredible long range effort from gardena mango, definitely worth another look. they will see bots, morocco hit back to of their own winning it with a fantastic sweet kid from a shrub. hacky me now they'll face i the egypt o ivory coast. well those 2 plays from wednesday. egypt were a runner ups in their group. all the of were i've already rather finished top of there's no countries one the afco more times than egypt to have 7 titles bots. if they do it this time. ill be of 1st for captain ha marcella. the structure for me would be completely different. would be the closest one to my heart i. we were close before 2

we're going to play in the pause against bolivia. so it makes sense to use this match for climate is ation. it's nothing personal against argentina, even though we have the right to host the game here. if altitude is an issue that in cold weather could be a factor in the north america zone is the u. s. they'd take on el salvador. they're expecting temperatures below freezing in columbus and us states of a higher us head into the game. second, in the qualifying table, behind need is canada, who they'll play on sunday. that is obviously cold out here. but, you know, something that i've been
