ah. hello until mccrae. this is the news. how alive from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. nathan is here. nathan, his vigilant anita shredded to the friend every inch of allied territory. tough talk from nato secretary general as the alliances, foreign minister, the 2 to meet in romania to discuss the war in ukraine. we visit an ear based to see how the alliance is preparing to defend its eastern flank. nato faces of colossal challenge, not just in the air with chinese authority say they are working to minimize inconvenienced because of locked downs after rear protests against the covered 19 policy. 2 brothers are among 3 palestinians killed in confrontations with israeli forces in the occupied with bank . we live from ramallah and in the cut, our world cup. all the teams supplied to games. the race is now on to advance to the round of 16. ah. nato secretary general is calling on member states to pledge more winter aid for ukraine as a prices for further russian attacks. jen stoughton berg was speaking ahead of a nato foreign ministers meeting and romania. russian attacks on ukrainian infrastructure have left millions of people without power. stilton berg accused moscow of using winter as a weapon of war, but he added that nato is prepared to meet the challenge. nato is here, nato is vigilant. anita was shredded to the friend every inch of allied territory in response to russia's full fledged sher invasion of ukraine. we are racing the redness over troops and we have doubled the number of natal button groups from 4 to 8, including vaughn here in romania lead, bought france well, chicken before we challenge and cave in just a minute. but 1st, andrew simmons is standing by for us in bucharest. and andrew, what more is nato prepared to do to help you? crime host oldenburg is promising a wide range of measures to continually support ukraine at this foreign ministers meeting. there are a lot of plans on the table, but of course this is an organization of alliance of 30 states. in which consensus is the rule. not everyone agrees, not all the states agree that military aid should be given to ukraine. so you have coalitions of the willing, so to speak, that will be pledges of non leaf laid by nato itself, but that will also be patches of actual military aid by individual states. the major issue right now is as you heard in that clip, the winterized zation of this war, the use of the cold as a weapon by russia. targeted attacks. busy on the power infrastructure in the country. blackouts right across ukraine and also heating going to not no heating for people. there is a humanitarian emergency that's getting stronger by the day. now the has been already indications from the united states. anthony blink and the secretary of state that so he's, hey, matt, only on monday nights with dimitra cooler bob, the foreign minister of ukraine. apparently they are going to be putting a whole series of measures together to try to get the power back in ukraine equipment, going to be taken into ukraine to try to get the system going again. that the attacks are mainly on the substations. electrical substations which have reach the virtually no protection around them, and that is a weak spot, whether they'll get around that or not. is unclear of france and germany are also pledging non lethal aid to get more generators into the country. large numbers of generators need to be there is a desperate need also, at, for better air defense. there is a whole range of weaponry available, but there is resistance by some states about deploying them within ukraine. and that is a major issue that's going to be discussed over the coming 48 hours. there's also a pledge by night so that they'll continue to keep reinforcing a states like romania, like poland have a large part of the eastern flank border. to actually deal with this, we went to 2 of the butcher base, the main remaining air base to take a look at what's going on. romania is building its defenses at a fast rate. here a transformation of its main air base is underway. u. s. f. 16 aircraft have replaced outdated former soviet megs only 17 f sixteens for now, but $32.00 more on the way everything is under pressure. so we were a timely miti though. then we fight to again, the 2nd. we have a lot of mission runnings, and this is all the missions are focused on giving us more security in a safer environment. osi, we are defined only in a space and over over contributing to the nato security. and though it is a big girl, it's an important through a time, but we are going what we are prepared to do everything by every day, he means the coordination with other nato forces policing the airspace and 24 hour standby for any incidence descends to the skies above nato's eastern flank has never been so intense nato faces a colossal challenge. not just in the air on the ground to russia would call this escalation. nato prefers the word deterrents here, u. s. and romanian forces on an exercise. recently, these maneuvers came only a week after a stray ukrainian air defense miss isle crossed the border, exploding and poland, killing 2 people. germany has offered patriot missiles systems to defend polish air space. poland wants the systems to be positioned on the ukranian side of the border while germany doesn't appear to agree, however, increased russian attacks on ukraine's energy infrastructure. mean there's a clamoring among some nato states to give ukraine more air defenses with major power outages at a time when sub 0 temperatures are worsening. and humanitarian emergency is becoming more severe by the day president putin is now trying to use a weapon. ah, i use the winter as a weapon or war against the ukraine on this is horrific. the nato foreign ministers meeting is undoubtedly going to hear that additional advanced air defense systems are urgently needed for ukraine. along with more training in their use, andrew simmons al jazeera butcher, air base romania over chelan, says, live for us in the ukrainian capital cave. and president zalinski has, as it is going to be another wave of russian missile strikes. how are people they are preparing? it's a particular atmosphere here and care for the moments. it's not so much fear. it's anticipation if you've ever kind of prepared to take a punch to the stomach, you sort of know something of what it's like that intake of breath, that tensing of the muscles. you know, that the blow is coming is just a question of when it arrives. and how painful it's going to be for much of the capital power has been restored, at least in part after the last wave of attacks last wednesday. the different, the picture is different in different parts of the country. but yes, people are expecting the next round to come are zelinski warned on sunday that it was imminent. it didn't happen. on monday, there were all sorts of social media posts and things are that warning that russian warships had headed out into the black sea with the cruise missiles on board that sir. ah, tactical bomber strategic bombers were, were being loaded up with cruise missiles on role in russian air feels, but they haven't arrived yet the, the, the cruise missiles haven't come in yet. people have been going out to be making sure that they're stopped up with the essentials, that they have the candles are to keep light on in their apartments, that they have water for drinking or washing flushing the low, et cetera, that they have a power banks charged up and if they got a generator that's full of, of diesel, getting those little things ready that could make blackouts or outages of, of heating and water. a bit more bearable psychologically. it's about, you know, putting your brave face on having a smile, ready training yourself and others that this is something that you can endure that it's for the right cause that ukraine is fighting for it's of freedom. and it's independence on a nationwide level, on a government level. well, of course, as we've heard just then from andrew, the, the leadership is trying to make sure that ukraine from its allies, gets the things it needs to push through this winter. that if russian missiles are coming and they expect very well, as i said that they have air defense, that they can use dirt to down as many as possible. and if missiles do yet through which they always seem to birts, the power can be back on as quickly as possible with the transformers and generators and money and other assistance that is what ukraine needs. and it's crucial. okay, very chelan, sir. thank you for that update. at least to re palestinians are reported to have been killed by israeli forces and 2 separate incidents in the occupied west bank. the palestinian health ministry says dozens of others were also wounded during the raids and bait mar north of hebron. as well as ant bait rima north. from allah, the you in says, this year is on course to be the deadliest and the occupied west bank. and 16 years or bernard smith is live for us now in ramallah and benita. what is happening are where you are all behind me. ah, students from visits, university and amidst them on to stretches are the bodies of jawad and duffer. remark 21 year old daughter was an i t student here. there's 8 university he and his 22 year old brother were killed in confrontation with israeli soldiers earlier on today in a village. not far from herr, this is the funeral service funeral procession if you like, for them being held by the su by fellow students. also earlier on today, 44 year old palestinian was killed near hat. braun, again, in confrontations with israeli forces, armor reports now that there's been a ramming incidents near a security check point in the occupied west bank. another 45 year old palestinian we understand has been killed in that incident and been a debt. as we mentioned, this is the deadliest year for palestinians in the occupied westbank for a 16 years. what is the likelihood that this is just going to continue? is a $153.00 palestinians killed so far this year, the deadliest by our calculations in 16 years in the occupied west bank. and all of this has happened under and is railey government, but essentially was supposedly sort of centrist made up of a centrist coalition. this is before the most right when government in his railey history has come in to power that coalition led by benjamin netanyahu won an election earlier this month. coalition talks are ongoing, but in not government will be too far right. extreme is politicians whose goal is to serve their settler constituents. it's my been given is going to end up being the minister of national security and a better balance al smartjets will probably get the finance ministry and within the civil administration. and they control construction and infrastructure in the settlements and for palestinian. so you can imagine it's already been a very violent year with 2 individuals like that in government. that does not suggest laying the groundwork for a calming, of increasing tensions in the occupied westbank. okay. i've been at smith for us and ramallah. thank you. there's plenty more ahead on this news, al, including as we speak to human rights watch about the lack of accountability and justice for the victims of iraq's anti corruption protests in 2019 the world's largest active volcano in hawaii, erupts. for the 1st time, in nearly 40 years ah, chinese authority say they are working to minimize inconvenience caused by strict pandemic policies. after days of mass protests, mass cover 19 testing has resumed in the chinese city of shanghai. infections are increasing despite tens of millions of people being under some form of restrictions . security has also been tightened. demonstrations are rear and china, but have swelled and recent days with people taking to the streets in major cities . while additional police officers have been deployed in beijing after hundreds of people protested on sunday with the public anger was sparked by covert 19 locked downs and quarantines. but the lists of grievances has grown to include a range of frustrations. some protesters have even called on prison, the shooting pink to resign. he has just begun serving a historic 3rd term in office in another you're going to want china has been following the dynamic 0 covered policy and has been making adjustments based on the realities on the ground. as we speak, china's following the 9th version of the pandemic protocols and a 20 measures. we believe that with the leadership of the c p c. and the supports of the chinese people. i'll fight against coven 19 will be successful engine. katrina you is, and beijing worth more. the authorities have done everything. they can't. you avoid a repeat of the protest we saw in several chinese cities on the we can, we said seen a lot of police presence in all of the areas that the purchase did take place in the city. some coercive tactics being used by the police and all of this was really defended by china's foreign ministry. as we heard during their press conference earlier, they were saying that the chinese us citizens all have rights protected within the framework of the law. and instead of acknowledging any value in these protests, the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson went on to really of pivot and point blame at some foreign journalists who have been covering these protests. a little bit of effort on the side of the chinese authorities, as well as the state media to de legitimized these protests, as well as defend, continually defend china's 0 carbon policy. what had once been a point of national pride, it seems to have now become a liability press conference from china's state council. and what we so interestingly used were, was an acknowledgment of some of the mistakes made in the implementation of china's 0 carving policy. what they were saying were that they, that there had been a lack of patience, a lack of communication on the ground. also that there had been some excessive heavy handedness by some officials imposing the 0 corvette policies, and that some people had arbitrarily, or illegally expanded the scope of locked downs. 3 years after iraq's and he corruption protests many say there's still no justice for those who died during the unrest. the protesters accused the current government of making iraqis even poorer while fueling ethnic and sectarian divisions leading to more corruption. mahmoud abdul, why? he'd reports from baghdad, had you heard, he says, among all the memorabilia he has, these birds, remind him the moles till his late son, worcester far. he says he takes a care of them every day. the same way, his son used to most of our was a senior year university student of administration and economics in baghdad. he was killed by a sniper during the 2019 nationwide protest against the government. well, julia, my son was like all other ambitious protested with a revolutionary urge due to frustration. they saw sons of corrupt politicians having lots of money while they didn't have a penny oil. they were disappointed by political status and crop regime. emily created by both iran and the united states. so they developed the state of awareness and desire to make a change. 3 years ago, iraq was shaken by the largest demonstrations in its modern history crowds, mast in baghdad to her. he is queer, as people demanded jobs, better services and an into state corruption. the numbers grew and the demonstrations spread south. leading to the resignation of former prime minister adul abdul, maddie, nearly 700 protesters were killed by security forces. tens of thousands were injured. and many cases of abductions, enforced disappearances were reported. while both the current and previous governments have pledged to ensure accountability for violations and abuses linked to the demonstrations, victims, families and human rights organizations are still concerned. human rights activists accused iran bagged groups of carrying out the killings. when archaeological mir concerned authorities have deliberately concealed the identity of perpetrators which it names as a 3rd party. because some official institutions are involved in the crack down against dissident voices and others whom money polluted the protests to shoot their interests for battle. had you heard, he keeps records of people killed along with his son, including those in other provinces. he says messages have been left on the doorstep of his house, warning him to stop us. oh, this is worth remains of most of our in his family's house. his father says his sons of friends took some of his clothes to keep a memory of him. to keep alive his quest and to continue seeking justice for his death. i'm adopted. we're head algebra baghdad. well, let's bring it in, oma, sorry. he is in iraq, researcher as human rights watch. he joins us from london. thank you very much for being on this news. our now for this report, you interviewed families of those who were killed as well as survivors. can you just give us an insight into what they told you? thanks for having me. thank for covering this important issue. the crux of the report is looking at her legal accountability or lack thereof for violence against protesters who took to the streets and hundreds of thousands in the fall of 20192020. and the family that we interviewed and also victims of this violence. those who were injured and the families of those were killed insisted to us that after years of attempting to advance the cases and legal system systems, their cases have gone nowhere. as a report makes clear these cases, as they say, in arabic name, or how they put these cases to sleep. and what we found in our report is that as they seek justice, as a van, so cases is cases after initial investigative interest by the authorities in the, in suing days of particular incidents essentially go nowhere the investigations and are essentially put to sleep and go nowhere for months and now years when he took parallel kitty, me pledge to seek accountability and justice. but as you said, it hasn't happened. why do you think that there is a lack of accountability and do you see that changing? i mean, this is an important point here. the former prime minister, prime minister, must have a cover me came to power on the backs of this protest movement. right. so today on the 29th of november is the day idle abdi resigned in the face of mass protests and mass killing of the protesters which led to the government in the forming in the spring of 2020, under the former. now, former prime minister must have called them who came to power promising accountability for this violence for the massacre and the killing of these protesters. and after 2 and a half years and power essentially did not deliver this accountability. largely for one could argue a lack of political will by the plural establishment to seek justice for the very people they claim to represent. and that after promising, after promising to deliver this accountability, essentially did not. so this lack of political will. and as well as a political ation of legal cases that essentially shouldn't be politicized. oh, we see these cases going nowhere when the government expresses interest and the iraqi authorities express interest in actually seeking justice. they have been able to advance particular cases case in point to give you an example tom in january 2020. earlier this year in january, there was a massacre and the also referred to as a giblin massacre which 20 people of a single family were killed. and within days, the government had sought the perpetrators arrested them and brought them to court and arraigned them. why is it that when the government is able to do this, they can't. and yet in the cases of hundreds of protesters who were killed and tens of thousands who were injured, the government refuses to bring these cases to the courts and to advance justice for the families who've been seeking this for years. now. thank you, will have to leave it there. thank you for your urine side. that is irma siri. he is the a rock researcher at human rights watch tick. he is, president says he is determined to create a city kilometer deep security corridor along the southern border with syrian ridge of toyota. everyone has threatened to start a ground offensive against kurdish fighters in the region. turkish forces resumed air strikes and northern syria at the weekend, killing. at least 5 people. the escalation comes weeks after a bomb attack, an est ample, which anchor blames on kurdish fighters. more in a law, the world's largest active volcano is erupting for the 1st time. and sushi i t as well so far, the lava flow has not endangered hawaiians, but people are watching with concern is highly jo, castro reports. it's the world's largest active volcano, but mountain lower hasn't looked like this for almost for decades. you know, we're real, we do, we, we're way over to my lawyer option. and so we had prepared, standing at more than 4000 meters above sea level. mona loa has been stirring for weeks worrying scientists with earthquakes just below the summit, a sign of the eruption to come. we don't want to drain 2nd. yes, the volcano, we have to let it actually shows what it's going to do. and then we inform people of what is happening. a safety communities had health, emergency meetings and preparation for a possible evacuation. though none so far has been called i'm here because i'm concerned a i will give her an over here. mona loa makes up about half the land mass of the big island, the southernmost tip of the hawaiian archipelago. the us geological survey says the russian is currently contained to the volcano summit, about half of mount low as previous eruptions have stayed there while half have also saved out through rifts at lower elevations endangering branches and beach side communities. we could be in for a little bit of a long time trying to determine if this is gonna be us as a sub that only or option or a summer bus or absorption. residents are hearing a repeat of 2018 when the eruption of a smaller, neighboring volcano destroy to 700 homes. mona loa is bo, taller and steeper, meaning magma would be able to reach human populations faster if the mountain boils over. but hawaii's emergency management agency says that would be a worst case scenario and one too early to predict. for now, it has open to shelters as a precaution and ward of ash and gases as hawaiians watch worry. and wait. heidi joe castro al jazeera ah l. j. 10 of the world copier and cosign every team has now played 2 games in the tournament with only france, brazil, and portugal. susan, advanced to the next round, or 2 goals from printer fernandez, were enough to send portugal through to the last 16 beating you to quite to nil. ah, this is i was little i was woke up since 2010 and every year i watch every year i hope we win. but i think this is a oh, the godfrey. amazing experience with a view window affordable years to match was very good for the portuguese. look at us, look how we are feeling. it was bad, like that's bad, like, well for with the updated head of the games today. here is kara. hello there. let's get the weather across the middle east. as the world cup tournament continues in cotton, it's looking largely settled down in the south. but you can see up across northern areas, very heavy rain. moving across the levant and northern areas of saudi arabia. we have had warnings that we are likely to see some flooding in areas. it's all flooding a just a few days ago. now this is because we've got a storm system moving out of the mediterranean. it's likely to take that further towards the north east. so unlikely to affect the gulf states. now if you take a closer look at co, tom still got that small blowing down. it is feeling a little bit breezy, but not unpleasant. lots of ones coming through the temperature sitting where we expect it to be 29 degrees. and as we go into the 1st round of matches, the temperature does move down slightly, but still a largely pleasant and dry system. the story for the later matches we will see a change in the wind as we go into wednesday. that's not going to do much for the temperature. much of the cloud is a further north of this. if you showers moving across the north, east of saudi arabia and into q wait, but for the south of this for katara look at that very pleasant and warm. and it's a similar story as we go into thursday. we'll be looking at today's world cup action and our special coverage with foreign smile and or, and i guess you're raska coming up after the break. ah, in depth analysis of these headlines from around the world. do you think diplomacy still stands in china? so i'm not very optimistic about any negotiation for windows holder insight story on al jazeera. ah, it's one of the most recognized sites. the right thing for support for fall at white hood, for the fans back home. it's more than just a football club. any want to says policy should be left off of football, you know, doesn't know about football. there's no well politics in this sissy stop on the passion on the politics of liverpool, f. c. the defied joint part of the fines who make football series on al jazeera lou. with here with with these found the boys are in for the round of 15. welcome to world cup today live from doha. on far as mile, i'm going to get her off war about brazil in just a moment, thoughts. we'll focus on the 17 key groups a and b. you can still reach the knockout date. there is a block buster winner takes all match at all to mom a stadium. the usa and iran face golf and the americans must win to progress. only a huge win would do for wales today against neighbors, england, senegal, the netherlands and ecuador war field, their faith as well. and portugal joined brazil and france to the knockout stages. thanks to a double from bruno fernandez against europe. why? the me well let's get into mothers that can 1st brazil have put that place in an account face. they beat woodland one, know the fuel, the brazil have the ball in the back of the net in the 1st half and it's not finished with the effort was this allows for all slides and the build up cap, the mirror eventually did break to deadlock. some finish it was to go from the manchester united man proved to be enough. one know the final 4 and brazil grade cameron and serbia drew in one of the most exciting games that the tournament a $31.00 lead think to alex under mitchell that camry and black and roll with 2 rolls in for minute or 2. nothing would be equalizer to make it 3 all. so this is what d looks like brazil all through. of course. any of the other 3 teams can still join them in the last 16. the thrift will qualify with via a draw would do if cameron can't be for sale. soviet and cameron both need to when their last games and type results and the other much go that way. and group h. christiana rinaldo and his school side in the lockout round up beating your wife to new flooring. earlier in the 2nd hall going up and just cross going all the way through. now they're going to touch that. it was given 2 phenomena. then hosp pendency in the ninety's minute, the ruling hand ball in the ball. jose criminal. and i'm just stepped up. the saw his 2nd deal to win in the same group gone. i beat south korea 300. this made it to mail to donna hall time after the break. korea is going for twice in 3 minutes each life. what ahead of that the 2nd but it was gone. i hear the last word. it isn't again the man on the school seat re to the west. jefferson services group is shaping up for school through the game bag. gone and we'll join them if they be your wife and a draw will do for the black stalls if created. don't be portugal by to go or more . when will be both south korea and your wife and the other game, it needs to all way. well, plenty of permutations, psychiatry. let's go back to flora who can us makisha, thanks. thank you. so all is great. i sure do you watch both brazil and portugal yesterday, which team do you think is going to go further in this tournament? i think that you know, from what we've seen brazil have what it takes to actually go all the way. and when this woke up, if not one, it says 2002, they have a young squad. yes, they don't have names for the rest of the good stage game, but he's hoping to come back later and buy them on. but to see a player like me or be the one to score, it just shows you the depth that they have in their squad puts you can go for brazil, looks like the site's a favorite. okay, well, the for the tournament usa versus around was one of the most anticipated matches of the group stage. and now it's an absolute, a block bus or less. and now here from both coaches, the team in this group that the perform the produce the best performances and in our group was without any adult tonight. this thanks. they took place to great, fantastic grace with no doubt about that. so in this, in this moment, only making this reference, call attention to everybody that you want to have a very, very difficult game that to do with the team that we need to respect. but that's, let's make it simple. this is not about always start all we do it in the middle. this is all about, are we finished? and what i see from the group is this tremendous amount of focus. there's no, there's no real distractions. you know, i know there's a lot going on here, but the group is focused on how do we get a win utter iran campaigns been dominated by politics throughout this tournament. so far, they've dealt with it. how will this young usa team deal with the added political dimensions of this much is going to be a very difficult game. we can't run away from the political under tons of the side, but talking about usa, they don't really play the group much as really well to have 7 defeats and just one victory. and now it's iran. iran know that. you know, they didn't start well, a guest, england, but they recovered their next game and you just see a side that, you know, can counter what the u. s. they can do the u. s. a young so they'll be running at the reunions, but they were, indians will be trying to stay calm and, you know, taking that pressure. so for me, i think it's going to be difficult, but have you run qualifying out of that group while they are young? in fact, they are the 2nd youngest team here in the world have in russia, in 2018. what he think you are saying would be happy with, like as a result, in general at this world, cox talking about the men's soccer team of the usa. they've always been in the shadow of the women. the women have dominated the wild once so many well caps, the defending champions right now, but this is an opportunity for the men to actually make a case for themselves. i think that qualifying out of the group would be success for them. the hosting, the next woke up and already we've seen canada out of the toner and mexico under pressure. so it would be great to see the usa make it to the round of 16 and sort of make a case for the next host of the worker. i just want to say that canada, it's not the end for them. this is just the beginning. so we'll see them back in 2020 just show cave on the point of iran they were thrashed 6 to buy england in their opening game, then they dominated wales, which iran do you think it's going to show up tonight? that's a very good question, joe. i think that looking at you run, i was very surprised that if i coached by color, ski rush can concede 6 goes, i think we're going to see the one against, well as the one that bounced off, you know, a mistake that, you know, eventually. so the read can be that, you know, the goalkeeper hennessy. i think that going into this game. we're going to see that one that they're going to use that momentum from the 2nd victory. and then you know, anything can happen from there. ok, thanks for now. asher, many iranians around the world are conflicted about the match. rob reynolds went to meet one member of the iranian community in los angeles. i, comedian and actor mazda, brawny, has many admirers in the iranian american community. and like many members of that community in what some have nicknamed tarantulas, this year's world cup presents a dilemma. i can tell you how i feel. i've always been a fan of football soccer my whole life. i played it with the kids and i was always at the same team. but this year it's really different. it's gonna be hard to take any enjoy and watching it because of the footage we see coming out of iran. iran has seen widespread protests and, and often violent crack down on demonstrators since the death and custody of muscle armine arrested for violation of laws regarding how women dress support for the protests is widespread in the large los angeles iranian american community with protest slogans. appearing on billboards and shop fronts. the usa iran match is weighted with significance, especially given the long history of rank war between the 2 countries. i like to say that there's lots of public took americans hostage for $444.00 days. and they took iranians hostage for 43 years. so we're seeing the women of iran, the youth of iran, the brains everyone has had enough. do you think that there's a feeling of being torn to, you know, kind of like honor your ronnie and roots like rooting for the team for feeling like that rooting for something else. instead, it's a very bitter sweet timeframe running americans. a lot of iranians are saying it's not a time to watch football or to celebrate anything. the way i see it though, is i feel that this is a chance for a team lead iranian team to shine a spotlight on what's going on with the people of iran. and there's gonna be a lot of eyeballs on that game when, as iran plays the usa job, ronnie says the world cup match can be a significant moment for iranians everywhere. i hope that there's some form of protests and some form of shining the light on what's going on in iran, amplifying the voices of the iranian people that would bring joy to my heart. and i think it would bring joy to a lot of iranian american in the diaspora. joy mixed with grief and concern with all eyes on a match that is much more than again, rob reynolds, al jazeera los angeles. all right, well let's move on to the other game in group b, england against wales, and received a lot of criticism off to that goal, a stroll against the usa. do we expect to change and approach this time around? definitely, i think that, you know, it would be great to see feel food in and gentle. exactly. i know added to, you know, the players that can change a game, especially i guess. well, as of course, as rivalry there between the 2 sides. i think that, you know, we're going to see some, some goals score. this is a team that is very young. they have scoring progress. they have play as you know, who have played well and had a great she's been doing, especially the, the premier league. and i think they would want to reflect that and get out of the groups. they just with confidence and we expect that from a team course by self get well, at the pre match media conference, england coach, gary of south gate was access to explain his sides complex relationship with wales . well basically they're here, right? i know a lot more than that. we've worked so hard to get into this position. my frustration and disappointment for the players is that we've shown nowhere near the levels of performance of what's called us to this woke up and that's what really disappoints me. the rivalry between the 2 british nations goes back a centuries. but when it comes to their border, nothing is straightforward. nadine barber reports for flying back in most other places, this would probably be called hedging your bets. but the sight of the welsh and english flag side by side is nothing unusual here. and connie minish, a place that lies right on the border between the 2 nations. not that you'd notice much of a boundary in this area, just the occasional roadside perhaps. but sitting on the divide does make things a little complicated when england play whales. like on tuesday evening. the hearing the cross key dollar welcome, but there's a definite lean towards garrett, south gates, england side. a few short steps across the main road in the village, and you've gone from england to wales, and the dolphin pub, landlord, john turner proudly. where's his whales top, as he gets ready for the big game that the reds have to win. but nothing straightforward. here. he's from london and is expecting most of his customers to be back in england. the village itself is, le malik, either way, is english welsh, to be honest, it's, it's, you know, we don't have one side and the other side, me personally, i'm, i suppose england. so i've oversee going to be 14 and, but really won't west wales to win because it's very important for, for the country, the local football club, men have c claims to be wells, these oldest teeth. but of course there's a twist. as of this year, it's playing in the english league just as taught welsh teams such as swans. the in cardiff take part in england's professional system that doesn't stop. many of its players were being proud of their welsh heritage. and the same goes for lower ellis jones calling while she's from the area, unlike her husband to be watching the match with her for this is all like welcome foreign o'connor thing, history and save us. whoever loses is going to have to pay for a nice, not your way, so i can do the dish and do the dean. bob al jazeera honey minish on the whales, england border. let's get well from the whales perspective and i'm pleased to say we're joined by former whales international brian flynn bryan. welcome to the show you over. so garrath bales developments as a young player, he's coming for some criticism this time around. do you think he may retire at the end of this tournament? i don't think you will. i think there is plenty of time i forgot to influence the national team, or certainly, well the next 2 to 3 years, whether we mix next row couple knowns. but i will certainly, i think he could achieve play in the next euros at brian you went big and said that way or will reach the semi finals. are you still sticking with that prediction will absolutely actually as is shown as being proved. so competition. so the surprise element is seuss is working and i think will be the big surprise of the total month and goal if they can't, hopefully do this feat. we're england today and look for a good reach out from iran and. busy usa, i believe they can get all the way to the semi final brian. we've seen so many well fans in the stands seen so passionately. garrett bail, talked about the passion that these fans have shown in the passionate though the whales team fail. how much does that help them at this tournament? we must hit it. well, she's the wild gore in the red wall. they feed off them they. they have been back midst of the last 5 years or in wheels in every part of the world. and the 12th month of the team, and i'm sure the passion can be utilized and used in the, in the right manner tonight, i believe they need, obviously every player that goes onto, onto the pitch police, they can win the game. wheels are lacking, unfortunate the wrong, always confidence. and i think that conference will be gained from to vital ingredients. and i think that will be the brave team selection that rob will do. and the brave game plan, which i'm sure to be working on over the last couple of days, we started speaking about bales, future one, bail does retire his set to take up the mantel from him. well, he don't get many gun scales in it is certainly along you know, being taught the, you know, the last superstar was rein gigs prior to that was he and rush, they come every decade basically though they, it's, it's not one to year. but there is some promising talent telling wales in this such a brand and johnson. he's nobody's he not that level. no grad going to be a big names in the future for wheels. all right, you don't often get brian flynn either from a welsh international. thank you very much for joining us. now, it's a huge match for ecuador, again, senegal in group a today. and you may not know this, but panama hat, so uniquely dorian, despite their misleading name and a small village in ecuador, local crafters have been hard at work weaving for cats are 20. 22 then continues to go into a government via a and guess a lot of this year a miss? yeah. no case. lawson where the bad, the key thing, it's like a good candidate in that said like we would like. i mean, this will not part of my cake was not allowed. i love it. i get when i saw a facility on a recorded line i would at north. yeah, cuz i live the life a lot of facilitating info he then because he thought i had me. what don't does it is only if with a model for the i think he want to leave the south. i'm also with mom one. okay. send me a lot more convenient, what key to us? and then we'll just run much in some way at all is my flexibly is my elegant, they buy, they said they left it to somebody that normally a lot of the single masses, i get it in the, in paul, in the pony read up. i like to hit a sandwich on better like a dog fino gear model in the you know, or kayla by that see is what amber when the actual yeah. when am i and that's all. yeah. i said when into the said he came out a. 2 like a your mind, which was good. i mean, long there. can i live panama to we're my dentist appointment really kind depend on my present med damage. you can say say say are you new or somewhere out a lot different though they were. so i don't, i don't hear it withdrawing, and i'm the only learning community like, you know, how many kilometers i don't find them with the citizen when all the and i work with if he does, i hope for more time in this, in the muslim didn't get them being read on long that represent dunden lying in apple b as in kite story. now we know how the echo dorian has made us so that such a big game cynical, this is ecuador, ken senegal, live up to the prussia. yes. and a girl have been under pressure this year in the cup of nations. i remember the started of poorly in terms of performance. they had a one no victory against them by which was a 97 minute penalty by federal money drew their next game against guinea. and went on to beat my law, which are really low, lowly rank teams if you compare with center go. but they managed to build momentum and eventually when the very 1st african confirmation state of now they come to the work up as african champions. they know they must deliver. there's a lot of pressure, especially with the results, you know, with morocco beating belgium camera and yesterday, drunk with. and of course, going to be to south korea. so now they know that near they have to deliver. yes, they are not fed your money, but belie jack and judge, you have a lot of work to do upfront and it's my last, are we yet to see him here at the tournament? and i think that this is his blood from what we're have serat, supply money, people at this world. how have they been unfairly judged heading into this tournament? absolutely. when you look at equip, do they qualified 3rd, you know, from their confederation, woke up with casita, just one goal at the storm. and one of 7 teams to, you know, have a great defense. and they'll be very difficult to break down. of course, it will also be a physical game. the best player was 3 goes at the tone i meant joined to top score here at the end of the lecture, the captain. he is going to place to injury with the you know, yeah, the in the injuries and i think you know, that would be very difficult for them. but if they make it to the run, the 16, it could be huge for you mentioned center goal cameron, morocco, the teams. you know, we're looking at progressing into the last 16. and it's also really an important, isn't it? to underscore that there's been some big changes since the last woke up in terms of the management team. yes, absolutely. for the very 1st time in the history of the woke up all the african team, 5 of them have african coaches. it's not by mistake that you know, you have and you say, who's been in charge of center, go since 2015. you understand the players. he knows the culture, he kept himself go to their 1st woke up. you have, of course we go about song with, you know, come moon auto and he's been an incredible job, but doesn't mind. you have a little country and when lead with drug, he's a former player international for merkel in a stanza squad. when he came in, he brought back him z at you had issues with the former coach by heed the highly holds each and you know, that sort of helps the players to feel comfortable. there's a whole respect and culture within the teams and it's not by mistake. that they're performing for, for the tournament. also group a, the netherlands will reach the round of 16, a. have a void defeat against host nation katha. l. bate stadium. how straightforward is that for the dodge? well, they haven't lost the game since we've on how to cover, but also this is not really the style that we used to watching the dutch teams we've seen, you know, before robin van posse was a phenomena that go in the 2010 woke up not so many people forget that, you know, over me as dennis back come. these are players that you know will remembered for what they did for netherlands, but this one is a young team got poor. he played well in that opening game to goals. and i think he has what it takes, you know, to school more goes against a car. but for guitar, they have a chance to go out fighting and give something to the funds at home. nothing really at stake for catera, but how important has their performance been for the country and their footballing culture? it's a historic moment. i think that categories need to be proud of this team. it's the very 1st time that they're playing, you know, in the mid list and hosting a woke up. it's a group of young players. yes, they had 6 months to prepare for the tournament, but they tried their level best and i think they can do something against the netherlands. all right, well the venue for the game is the extraordinary and unique al bite stadium. andy, richer and the richardson has been taking a look at what makes the arena so special. a stadium reflecting the nomadic culture of the region is providing a home for footballs. biggest tournaments, 35 kilometers north of the
