country is wealthy, and most guitars aren t willing to do jobs seen as more menial. during the 19 ninety s, katara rose to become one of the wealthiest countries in the world, thanks to its oil and gas reserves. in the last 30 years, it has developed faster than any other country on the planet. a glittering ultra modern world has emerged from the desert. katara is currently hosting one of the world s biggest and most prestigious sports events. the men soccer world cup, it generates record income and television. right. and is a huge money spinner for fever, football s world governing body. the world cup final is watched by a 1000000000 people. that s more than 110th of the global population. the cornish is the waterfront promenade in the capital, doha. when i arrived here at the beginning of october, the count down for the world cup was already on. although the temperature was still around 40 degrees celsius. i found the hot, humid conditions difficult to cope with. but for the margaret workers charged with getting everything ready in and around doha, the conditions were now relatively pleasant. in the summer cut are sees temperatures of 50 degrees celsius or more. heat related accidents and illness are not uncommon. and can range from fainting to strokes, oregon failure and death following international pressure cut her has taken action. in summer, laborers are no longer allowed to work outside during the hottest part of the day. climate now then would be would clement in summer, before summer, can with school and in summer your living also? yes. what the in some of, and it s really want as or there is some other good the day monday duty didn t hop night hobby out it boiler blog at 3 o clock. we stop nobody can yet know something. i know it is on the fly. maybe weekends. yeah. think of them, i don t know. my name is douglas buddy. do you know? depend upon the planet no. follow the money from doing, posted harrington. no good. i mean, ah, barbara, 3 months have been to something other than that they will. besides, the pirate is glen again after that they would soon they come poor countries like india, pakistan, or bangladesh cutters population. as just under 3000000 of which 2 and a half 1000000 are migrant workers. that s almost 90 percent of the population. a world record. these laborers earn less than $28.00 euros a day. they come with that woman with another company. and you see every rule, it is others. yes. how many people i 106 people. and how much is it for a well, how much? how much money for a little? oh, this one company. the company pay us. the laws designed to protect laborers in the heat were recently expanded. the ban on outdoor work now goes from 10 am until 3 30 pm. katara is ready since 2010, when the gulf state was controversially chosen to host the world cup preparations here have been underway. 7 new stadiums were built. the loo sale stadium is the biggest seating. 80000 people. it took 5 and a half years to build and cost nearly $700000000.00 euros. the world cup organizing committee has invited well network to young people from around the world to serve as so called fan leaders. it s their job to help fans from their respective home countries arriving and caught our upon the, the program to us started from 2 years ago where civil good collecting, collecting the people from world war and that they start to give them integrated will show public in want us to for out how they can book the media, what they want them to bring from from get out the rest of the world. i have one friend of the i and save money to buy $1.00 car. i am working for 4 years, but i would have been all the, all of my money for this. i think it s the tories are especially proud of the 974 stadium. it was built out of recycled shipping containers in an odd to sustainability and innovation. it will host 6 group matches and one match in the round of 16. the modular design with containers and prefabricated sections, rather like lego pieces meant the stadium was relatively cheap and quick to build. this venue is due to be dismantled straight after the world cup and the land used for other purposes. many are already questioning how building an entire stadium for just 7 matches can be described as sustainable. the we re of air conditioning systems is audible everywhere. even in the fall, with temperatures around 40 degrees celsius, the grass need special care. huge fans helped to cool the air to improve growth. but the stadium has no outdoor ac. unlike the other venues that have to be kept cool all year round. mohammed al, at one is the stadiums, facility manager, he s a could tarry easily recognizable from the traditional clothing that all could tarry . men where we ll use 974 containers until told us why. even the name of the stadium said him doesn t fall under 2 presents and some national dialing code of thought as a, sorry, i ve got those will coming. communication, i will come and give it to one to join us in the 1st, a middle east and out of work up what will happen to the containers afterwards. we have the flexibility in the design to rebuild of us all to recycle most of the components. so those containers come to, you used to build the same, a staging with the same combustion of the concentration of the war and cathedral, a different country in the world. do the same. give us the us for to 1000 seats. or we can build the smaller venues with the smaller combustor, so we can vote 20000 c still venues. in default locations, the world cup mascot marks the way to the next venue. the alger new stadium was designed by a rocky british female architect zahid. he took 5 years to build and cost almost 600000000 euros. we filmed workers on the listening roof until an angry security guard ordered us to switch off our cameras. even though it s a public area, it was the 3rd time we d been stopped by security and prevented from working german journalist and caught our analyst flurry and bower knows all too well. what happens if western journalists try to report on things that caught our secret service deems off limits? when he went to a district known as the industrial area, to film the conditions that millions of migrant workers are living and he was arrested. is common on products. i as a police, the military and the secret service all came and they interrogated us for 14 hours instead of at or o clock in the morning. we were released by the public prosecutor via when we asked if we could leave the country that we were told no, not at the moment of this one. the public prosecutor even told us that he had no sand at any more so much. it was the secret service out there and if they don t want you to leave, then you won t get out. may only hold with us again. what s your trip been like this time? is it then f o n? yes. donna quinton doses. honey gold said silica, don t give fighting coffee, you can see the categories are very cautious. gob, they keep trying to caution us and even influence our reporting to a certain extent of liberty shuttle. just to day we were in the industrial area again, not mine. we haven t har, follow us on, which i ve never experienced. that s ac own. so in the southeast it was a white or wheel drive with a tory malik, as emma vida, it s clear we were being monitored by the secret service. i m constantly belinda is new level. it sheds a bad light on the country. it s either that a time when it ought to be more open in one it s high full. i think they should just say i, we ve tried to change a lot. in some areas we ve been successful, and others not the lumen abdullah sneezed and that s understandable is obviously a moodily, each person who i ve never known a country to advance so quickly as cutter has in the past 12 years fought. and i think the categories would do well to highlight that in their media campaign in central standard isla a finish cuts looks um. but most of the emir of katara, tammy been hom at attorney and his father, the former a near ham. i d been khalifa attorney had led caught her into the modern age using the profits from oil and gas, and they haven t only focused on the economy. the state own news network al jazeera modeled on the bdc has been something of a revolution for the arab world. it was the 1st arabic broadcaster to air, not just men spokesman, but alternative views as well. the opening of western universities is also part of katara modernization plan. i ve come to the renowned american georgetown university in doha. here i meet gad, none among a professor of international relations and golf studies. he s lived and worked here for more than a decade and is well acquainted with cutters. political vision. while staging, the world cup in the desert seems absurd to many. he says, for the categories, it makes perfect sense. the basic idea was always that this will break, going to bring visibility, hannah and a measure of soft power. by persuading the will, that ain t got out as little just about camels and sound oil. but also the key aimed was that to make this part of their developmental strategy strategy for long term development. so the world cup was one of those things that fits in that strategy. so it s both the question about visibility and it can a long term economic development. that development is visible everywhere. areas that we re just desert back in the 1980s, now boasts skyscrapers office towers and luxury hotels. the futuristic skyline has all developed in the last 30 years. society has also changed and not all categories are happy about it. some parts of societies, this is going very fast. now there is some people felt very uncomfortable with literally everything s changed to generations. but again, the top of the ruling family had been on the one hand very clear where they wanted to go, which is modernized without losing authenticity and identity. but on the other hand, they ve implemented it in ways that try to bring in the to, to bring in consensus. although some people are unhappy cutters in years have one over many with state benefits that are 2nd to none. category. citizens received generous allowances and salaries, education, and excellent healthcare are all provided for free, and there are no taxes. i ve arranged to meet maria again, the fan leader from argentina. she s lived in doha for 8 years and works for a company that helps south american businesses who are looking to gain a foothold and carter. she says argentinians both here and back home are very excited about the world cup. right now we are over $6700.00 that we are at and even hearing that. and we are expecting more about it more than $70000.00. will you say to the attend tina fans when they come over? first, if they can read the view or if they come be in touch with someone that is leaving here, it s nice to know if either by the quarter it s different or to our counter. of course, we have like a dress code here and got that on use of cover your shoulders on neat, but it s not everywhere. if you see here, we at that we are in the cornish, you would see it man or woman with shorts or without sleeves. and then, well, of course that go home that they will not be able to buy their holdings for market, but they will, they can drink beer or any alcohol drink in bars or yeah, on by or pops and even the fun songs in some of them, it they will find, so i think would be fine and losing. there could be problems with unmarried couples . a no, he hadn t got that. no one ask you about anything. like if, if i want to go to where i am already. but if i want to go to a hotel, i m book a room with a friend, i come to it, they would not, they would not requested my research. as for the work, i am so that they will not requesting foreign tourists, may not face such questions, but a katara, a woman certainly would sexual relations outside of marriage are banned for women. if an unmarried woman gets pregnant, she will not only be ostracized, she s likely to end up in prison, and she can t access medical care either. if old goes to check on that or pregnancy issues and so on, you have to be married. so that s true. that study is absent through and so that s problematic. if you, if you deliver a baby and you have that again, you can be if, if you aren t married, she can t show your married, then you re in trouble. and these are things that are, that are problematic. and that stem really from the goods for society, they re still in large pots, pretty conservative about these kinds of moral gender questions and so on. and this isn t dr. drew forgot to li woman was history of anybody. so that s why you have to have these stories about sometimes domestic stuff that have a relationship or whatever and, and, and they, they re in trouble. well, then it s not as if they re going to get to mistreated, but they will often be arrested and have to be detained. women are 2nd class citizens in qatar and subject to their male relatives. they re not free to make decisions about their own lives, whether they want to marry, study, work or travel. they re dependent on the goodwill of their father, husband, or brother, but also limitations. other official limitations on travel under a certain age you have to have permission from a male figure of policy in the family. if you are a country, will you marry a non category, then your children, all, they will not get all the benefits of a country citizenship, for instance. so whereas if you re a country band, you might, for women than your children, will have citizenship. and all these things, so these are the sorts of things that, that you find a lot of young katelyn women up, then we ll just, young cotton agitating about public it s also a subject of debate in education city, a vast campus linked by tram that includes satellite institutes of renown, u. s. french and british universities, 70 percent of the students in doha are women. unlike the men most wouldn t be allowed to study abroad. there s growing opposition here to the practice of mail guardianship over women. and the fact that category men can still have 4 wives at the same time. the former emir, for example, has 3 wives and 27 children. but not a single category woman was willing or perhaps allowed to speak to us on camera. ah, i ve come to carters national museum, which boasts impressive architecture. it takes visitors on a journey through the history of the small desert state. until the 19th thirty s, the pearl trade was caught our biggest source of income. britain s queen elizabeth was later given a pearl necklace. when she visited katara, the decline of the pearl industry was followed by a period in the 1940s known as the years of hunger. but in the 1950s, katara began producing oil on a significant scale. then in the 1970s, the world s largest natural gas field was discovered most of it in carters territorial waters. and from the mid ninety s cut her began selling liquefied natural gas all over the world. it was the income from that gas that financed carter s unprecedented modernization drive. under the leadership of van emir huh. bin khalifa attorney. he was also the one in 2000 the 10 who saw a counter awarded hosting rights for the world cup. his son, the current a mere tommy, been hammered. attorney has continued his policies. but he came under pressure when rival arab states slapped a blockade on katara that last several years. we don t accept anybody over there. i want to safeguard that sovereignty cut our has excelled in networking and become an international mediator. doe, has sheraton hotel, has served repeatedly as a venue for talks between various warring parties from the u. s. to the taliban cutter has made its foreign policy as broad as possible. the strategy is, 1st of all, complete pragmatism. that was no ideological element to this. it s been a decision right from the beginning from let s see. the early ninety s onwards. when she hammered the call on the father and the as the father of the current and he has set out to secure us visibility and security. anchored, of course, in the prime security guarantor, the united states who they gave is huge ad base dade abby s. so they became very useful for the us who want when they want to talk to iran, very useful to the u. s. also. and they wanted to some place to connect to send messages to have ultimately conversations with the taliban. so got that and responses says fine, they can come and set up an office here, and you guys could meet each other. each week men flocked to the national ground mosque for friday prayers. the emir also praise here accessing the building via his own underground entrance. most categories are well hobbies, followers of a particularly conservative form of his law. both private groups and government organizations have provided lavish donations to promote conservative as long in other countries also in europe, which has caused considerable tensions. but there s evidence that cutter is scaling back its activities. some of that money went not just of mosques and so on, and dodgy preachers, but to basically yardi types in the, around the arab world. and her so that the, the quarter is the custody in government. clearly saw this is not something that they wanted and they ve been cracking down very hard on that with new laws and very stringent controls to the extent that any, even any kind of very innocent charitable collection. you actually have to clear with a government trust. next i want to try out, does new metro like many infrastructure projects? it was built as part of the preparations for the world cup. all the stations and trains had good air conditioning, a necessity and carter because of the heat. and because gasoline is dirt cheap here, most categories go everywhere by car. public transport still needs to catch on more widely. metal on what other countries is a very new concept in gulf region. and we plan on integrating the metal into the daily lives. all the residents, all these and all that. so it is a challenge, but i believe was cd we have floods. we have implemented some funds to integrate all the, all the rosin as usual. another official is present during our interview. whether to provide support or to monitor the conversation is unclear. we continue to get stopped regularly by police and security officials, who question us, scan our passports and compare them with databases. the authorities here are very suspicious of journalists, like every one arriving and caught our we were required to download a covert app on our cell phones at the airport. this means we can be tracked at all times and our phones monitored. building work is underway all over doha. hot are owes a lot to migrant workers, many of whom are poorly paid and not well treated. but under international pressure, some things do appear to have improved this building houses, the office of the international labor organization in 2018 cut are opened its doors to the iowa and began cooperating with labor law experts. the ilo says reports that more than 6000 workers have died while building world cup. then use our false $6500.00 is the total number of south asian nationals who died in katara over 10 year period. it doesn t distinct between whether these a work related death or non work related us. it doesn t even distinguish between whether these a workers or non economic reactive people. we commissioned our own work, our own piece of work, to collect data from different hospitals, emergency departments, ambulances, etc, to come up, the more accurate figure on work related injury and death. and in that we saw that there were 50 work related deaths in 202500 6 severe injuries. and 37000 mild and moderate injuries. safety standards have since improved. the ban on working in the heat has been expanded and a minimum wage introduced the notorious co follow program which gave employers complete control over their workers has been scaled back. but these improvements are not being applied everywhere. the new laws need to be enforced. poor working conditions, harmed patters, reputation, and limit further economic development to all the fields from dim bus. i think those of us coming from the west, i can t even imagine what life is like for many of the migrant workers here to help me foster they work 12 hours a day in the heat. the orbits only live with 68 or 10 other workers in one room in that is just 14 or 16 square meters in size underlined. gusta barton an item home. they worked 6 days a week as a 12 hours a day, plus one hour travel there. and when our battle, i m struck down the high that doesn t leave much time for themselves, should us will, to helium. but that s not only typical for cutter, hottest the same and other parts of the gulf and the world. and that should be reported on to them. but okay, other parts of the world aren t being allowed to host the world cup if he saw them . so i don t know why. so our katara residents actually interested in football mohammed from egypt heads a school here. unlike migrant workers in the low wage sector, qualified workers with a good salary can bring their wives and children to katara. i m very excited. i m waiting for all the ins it to come watch, enjoy. oh, so i m waiting for my favorite tin. brazil. suck empty, and france, i like this. michelle brazilians are very good theme. are you like the horn? brazilian junior when it s use when you deliver to a live level, what does it mean for you? this won t cover this for the 1st time posted by eric country. first fireman on a blog, i m very exciting guy. eli exists and i think in shall la copa. she will make something amazing. and we are waiting for this. all of us, all out of the world. we are supporting, cut her back on the sea front. soccer also dominates the conversation. it s friday when workers have their day off. these young men all support south american teens. i do not a very good job, missy. i better go play. i like missy. what is your favorite team? they would come out sometime argentina and i ve india all of your argentina, doesn t you? or has it brazil for those who have to work even on friday, 5 pm is shift change. while some are arriving for work, others wait for buses that will take them back to their accommodation on the edge of the city. away many have since left the country. cut are decided to send them home to create space for hundreds of thousands of fans. but even here, there is no criticism of carter or the working conditions, perhaps because people are afraid of repercussions if they talk. one thing seems clear, cut or says it will not provide a compensation fund for the families of those who died on the construction sites. something many have called for as the sun goes down and the temperature becomes more bearable, more categories can also be seen out and about at the bazaar. the women wear the long black a buyer, while the men are dressed in white. this part of the market sells birds and other pets. even though the bazaar is newly built and just made to look old, it very much reflects traditional arab culture. many categories were planning to leave the city before the hordes of foreign fans descended. not all of them are happy about the mega event. and the western influence that goes with it by the standards of the west, much is not right in katara. but some consider the tiny emirates, a model of success by gulf region standards. the world cup has highlighted the struggle in the arab world to find a balance between tradition and modernity. between authoritarianism, human rights and the desire to play a role on the world stage. with business is booming, edmondo versus only board, and it s boys for even further growth in important economic factor, but also be endangering the country. the port also transfer shipment from ukraine. how warranted our fears of a russian attack made in germany in 30 minutes on dw. oh ah ah, this is the w news coming to live from berlin. explosions hit to bus stops in jerusalem. one person is killed in more than a dozen injured israeli. police say the explosions were attacks carried out by palestinian militants also on the program. dw reports from java near the epicenter of monday s deadly or.
