surprising thing happened no when cutter got the
writes the World Cup in 2022 they're gonna host now
is surprising a couple ways cuz the World Cups in the summer no
Corona you know this is in a desert and the
summers get pretty hot like around 120 degrees
but they said no no it's okay we're gonna build these
so basically massively air condition
stadiums which sounded so prohibitively expensive but you got caught her with
all them
you know energy money that they have they'll be able to afford it
so they got the rights to it and by right after they got the race to the
city our temp
of course we're not going to do that no and perhaps you should move into the
weather is this really hot in the summer here
okay so I was from number one but it turns out there was a lease for their
problems
there's a new from report out by the International Trade Union Confederation
unfortunately confirms
many other reports about though Commission workers
in color now a you have to understand something
the don't have my people in Qatar to be able to build the facilities for this
World Cup
lololol other facilities in the country so they brought in a great number
labor's
from different countries especially South Asia India Nepal et cetera
now just between June 4th in August 8th that's not a very long time in 2013
when the this was being tracked um
forty four workers died mom was a interesting about that
is that it's not like they had a a wide range of changes
in those workers in appearance how well couple the 85-year-old stack
no it was men that were in their twenties thirties and forties
and happen them died from heart attacks
so people start to wonder what in the world was going on
in fact when they did more investigations they found that I am
in one year 1200 migrant workers from
India Nepal had died alone and to be fair that's in
although it contracts and constructions that they were doing for the World Cup
so it might even stretch a little longer than E okay but that's an
of a lot of young workers to die will get to why that might have happened a
second in fact
that same report concludes that if they continue to construction
for the World Cup for thousand migrant workers will die
by the time the first game is played in 2022
that isn't of a lot of people do sacrifice for the games
and have any workers are there
right now in kinder 1.4 million migrant workers
now if things happen under natural conditions and people happen to die
well of course that happens when 1.4 million people is a lot of
people but it seems this report link given how
young and otherwise healthy they appear to be
well when you look into it a little bit you need a sensor why this one about
as helping impose explains regarding the report
impoverished migrant workers from abroad are living in squalid conditions while
beholden to employers who control the identification cards an exit beasts
so personal they're not allowed to leave the minute you come in
you you have to give all rear exit be so your ID cards oftentimes your passports
right so if you're not allowed to leave
and you are forced to work what does that make you generally you would call
that person
as slave and by the way if they don't work they are punished
so this doesn't look good
now what are the conditions that they work under grown men said they were
treated like animals living like courses in a stable
again quoting the report here tragically a small number of Qatari power brokers
have chosen to build the trappings of a modern economy
off the backs have exploited enslaved workers
their normal urine salty water for cooking in back bathing
and that's not really good for your health site where you're supposed to use
there were forced to pay the deposit insurance only five dollars
if they ever wanted to go on vacation because the guy having come back
makeup force them to work they often work under a hundred and twenty-two
degree heat
with no water all day long shocking that it turns out some of them wound up
having heart attacks
and they don't have a choice is one thing you have a choice and that's
another thing
when it's now your passport and you can't leave
so this is not the way to conduct affairs
unfortunately the for as their report explains there some power brokers
in Qatar some in the ruling class who think
well if you're not one of us in your South Asian migrant worker
who cares about you your job is to build are
palatial stadiums and things for our benefit
and at a very low price by the way they have all that energy money
you can afford to pay your workers your presumably gonna get a ton of tourists
to make a lot of money from the World Cup
you can afford to pay your workers know they choose not to pay their workers
a decent wage they choose to take away choice from them
and those whom I'm opinion are unbearable
and unacceptable now one people was asked about it
their president said organization bears
some responsibility for the squalor and working conditions
but came up short of saying that it would intervene in other words
yes that sucks but now when are you doing about it
now why in the world did they give this contract in the first place like of
course
you was there any issue with a country like are getting a
World Cup no I mean if it wasn't for the temperature and they had decent
morning ish is one of course in your right but given their history a
of in the Gulf Cove how they have done this over and over again this is not a
new
a phenomenon on porcelain many on the Gulf states
use migrant workers take away their passports and then
sometimes literally work them to death okay
so why did they get it well this is a possible
a hand as to why that might have happened and this comes from the
Business Insider
there's a new report from the Telegraph as they explain
that says X people vice-president Jack Warner
is being investigated by the FBI for taking a two million dollar payment
from a Qatari company shortly after
the 2022 World Cup vote the company in question is owned by a man
who was given a lifetime ban from people after being found guilty
a bribery charges things that make you go
from gee I wonder how they got their contract
now when it comes actually paying their workers would they give them $2 million
dollar spread out over all those people on on on on on on on
but when it comes to driving the raid officials to get the
World Cup in the first place that they can do
