Qatar’s hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup has been mired in controversy since it was first announced in 2010. Concerns over the country’s bleak human rights record, particularly its [exploitation of migrant workers](https://time.com/6227277/qatar-extreme-heat-world-cup-2022/) and [persecution of LGBTQ people](https://time.com/6234323/naser-mohamed-interview-qatar-lgbt-rights/), have cast a shadow over the quadrennial soccer tournament, held for the first time in a Muslim-majority nation. Allegations of corruption and bribery surrounding Qatar’s bid to host—as well as the massive climate ramifications of staging the event in a desert country—have also dogged the tournament. **Read More:** [_The Most Controversial World Cup Yet Kicks Off With a Defeat for Host Qatar_](https://time.com/6235113/qatar-world-cup-2022-kick-off/) In protest, several athletes, celebrities, and fans around the world have vowed to [boycott the World Cup](https://time.com/6234015/celebrities-boycotting-qatar-world-cup/), which will run from Nov. 20 to Dec. 18\. Those who have said they will stay away from the tournament include British music icons Dua Lipa and Rod Stewart. But the issues surrounding this World Cup have not stopped other entertainment personalities from showing up in Qatar, and some have already received criticism for their participation in the tournament. Before the first kickoff on Sunday at Qatar’s Al Bayt Stadium, Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman made a surprise appearance, narrating the opening ceremony alongside FIFA World Cup Ambassador and Qatari YouTube star Ghanim Al Muftah. “We gather here as one big tribe,” Freeman said.

[00:04] FIFA World Cup Qatar. [00:10] The hosting an event of this size requires a lot of separate [00:13] new stadiums, state-of-the-art training facilities and a lot [00:17] more kind of exceed 50 degrees with humidity. [00:29] The 2022 World Cup kicks off in November 5 months later than [00:34] usual. Spare players and fans the worst of the gulf scorching [00:38] summer heat. [00:53] Qatar has been 10 years and two hundred billion dollars preparing [00:57] for these games a building boom. [00:59] And one of the world's hottest places [01:03] and it relied on a global supply chain of Migrant workers [01:06] from the Philippines Bangladesh, India and Nepal. [01:12] Desperate enough to work in any conditions. [02:34] Here or Surrender, no. [02:36] More [02:43] Chaplet of Divine Mercy. [02:51] honey, because some of us, [02:56] I want someone by Cher. [02:59] McDonald's. [03:05] I know I need a happy like when I got it. [03:09] Hey buddy, love you. [03:11] Why do people yawn? [03:22] Montauk. What time, Alabama? [03:28] Comerica Theatre. [03:34] Play Yoshi like Morgan. [03:43] This one's underground, five levels. [03:50] What does it feel like to see these photos? [03:53] I would like to say, happy happy happy. [04:03] Like all workers headed for the gulf surrender tamang, [04:06] passed a health screening before he left Nepal. [04:09] He was hired as a construction worker on a luxury complex [04:12] in downtown Doha. [04:13] It was one of many such projects that sprang up in the rush [04:17] to prepare for the 2022 games in the equivalent to $400 [04:22] a month and spent nearly all of it home. [04:30] But I can see why you're proud. [04:31] It's an amazing structure. [04:41] Add me to take my boo by chambliss South possible. [04:45] Negative. [05:25] AutoZone. [05:44] When was pilate the boys? [05:45] Have we had the tiniest. [05:49] Pakistani video Gana. [05:51] 1911 Livonia. Ave [06:03] And Qatar Sorento suffered headaches and dizzy spells, [06:06] clear signs of heat stress. [06:09] When his job site posters emphasized, the need to stay hydrated [06:14] but he had to pay for his own water. [06:16] And some days when he was working high up on scaffolding, [06:19] he would avoid drinking so we would have to make trips up and [06:22] down to the bathroom. [06:26] When he got too sick to work, [06:27] his employer sent him home. [06:30] By the time he arrived in Kathmandu, [06:31] both his kidneys have stopped functioning the result of heat [06:35] exposure and chronic dehydration. [06:36] According to his doctor, [06:41] Now, 31, he will likely be on dialysis for the rest of his life. [06:50] The cheap aerial system. [06:52] Holy year are also before they endured to the services and still [07:01] we find lots of patients returning with kidney failure to our [07:09] country. [07:11] Presently around. 600% [07:15] are on dialysis at Kidney Center in different branches of Nepal. [07:23] 10% [07:24] of the patients who are on dialysis Adult Center, [07:27] call return [07:35] The climate is getting hotter and this feeling of kidney failure, [07:41] becoming more intense is ready to take care of the building. [07:48] That is his patience. [07:50] Are golf will remain the same attitude, [07:53] no responsibility. [07:57] Aren't they were intense? [07:59] Something has to be done. [08:03] Public Health. Experts, warn that chronic kidney disease [08:06] could become a major health epidemic for outdoor workers [08:10] as a planet continues to warm and migrant workers are especially [08:13] vulnerable. Heat is killing workers, but officials in Qatar, [08:18] rarely acknowledged its role death, certificates record an unusually [08:22] high rate of what is simply called. [08:23] Cardiac Arrest among those young. [08:26] Seemingly healthy men have left home in search of work. [08:30] So we saw a statistic from 2012 to 2020. [08:34] There is 571, Nepali workers who died in Qatar, [08:38] writing caracara, Stoneleigh will not Define. [08:46] Any other languages are what may be the cause of death, [08:48] the death of death of a particular person. [08:54] There should be some antecedent and the contributors [08:57] that was not mentioned in the middle of the death certificate. [09:00] Our body. Can I claim it dies? [09:07] If the temperature is more than 40 degrees, [09:11] Centigrade the person will have some sort of heat-related [09:16] complication. [09:25] Flights from Kathmandu to Doha have increased substantially [09:27] over the last decade, most months have about 150 flights [09:32] on this route. [10:08] In the years since to render left. [10:09] Qatar conditions have actually improved from any laborers, [10:12] we asked a construction company that he worked for about on-site [10:16] heat labor protections, but they did not reply. [10:21] So the Show the World Cup has accelerated, [10:24] the International Labour Organization, along with heat scientists [10:38] were divided to Qatar to study the impact of heat and humidity [10:41] on worker Health. [10:42] The result was legislation that increase the window of summer [10:45] days and which work hours are restricted. [10:47] It also expanded the midday summer work fan by 2 hours. [10:54] Another Innovation is the use of a relatively new measurement [10:58] that combined standard temperature and humidity to determine [11:01] what is called a wet bulb Globe. [11:03] Temperature Index, this measurement is essential to protecting [11:06] outdoor workers because humidity impact the body's ability [11:09] to sweat and the school down. [11:15] when on the wet-bulb temperature index these conditions [11:18] which is 32.1 and the third key measure from this legislation [11:24] is that all out of workers, must undertake an annual health [11:28] screening [11:31] Qatar has eight stadiums ready for the soccer matches spread [11:34] out across Doha. [11:35] We toured Lucedale, the largest of them, [11:38] which will host the final game of the 2022 World Cup. [11:43] Although much criticism has been aimed at Qatar because of World [11:47] Cup construction. The workers building the football stadiums. [11:50] I've actually had some of the safest construction jobs in the [11:53] last decade here and the new regulations have them prove them [11:56] even more [11:57] You can see. [11:59] Today, this is a complete the stadium with air conditioning [12:01] and it's fine when you're building. It [12:03] is not, it feels almost as hot inside. [12:05] This is outside every year. [12:07] There are Lessons Learned every year, the science behind it, [12:09] progresses and the authorities. [12:12] Responsible for defining, those timings begin to understand [12:15] the effect of heat on the workforce and on anybody being outdoors, [12:18] enough time and adjust accordingly rights organization. [12:24] Stay the thousands of Migrant workers have died since. [12:26] Qatar was awarded the rights to host the World Cup. [12:29] However, very few are tied to the stadiums in part. [12:34] This is because the construction has been managed by the government, [12:37] which is in, for stringent worker protection regulations, [12:40] including for the private subcontractors working here. [12:45] Contractors try to play dumb every Samoan. [12:48] So their arms up every summer and say, [12:50] oh, it's summer working hours again and we have to explain [12:54] that. Yes, it is and you're a professional licenses. [12:57] If I contract in the state of Qatar and those of the ministry of [13:00] Labour, Ministry of Labour reported nearly 400, [13:05] violations of the new heat protection policy for outdoor [13:08] workers, reports from local Clinic show that emissions [13:11] for heat stress have actually dropped by more than half from [13:14] last summer. Indicating that the new rules may be working. [13:17] How far is the most advanced in terms of legislation [13:21] when it comes to keep heat regulations much easier to slow things [13:29] down or even something completely? [13:31] When we see things getting out of hand. [13:33] It's much easier to do that now. [13:34] And vile things in before, people are pushed beyond the system [13:38] is. It's a very tough battle against private contractors [13:41] there against the clock. [13:42] They've been paid money to finish, they have liabilities [13:46] on professional Indemnity. [13:47] I need to finish the work and sometimes they do it. [13:49] Regardless of course we needed government permits to visit [13:56] all construction sites including this privately-run [13:59] work site near the sale. [14:01] Officials from the ministry of Labour. [14:03] We're there and workers spoked with only in the presence [14:06] of their supervisors. [14:07] So how have you been told? [14:10] The Kinks as workers here and Doha. [14:23] What would you tell if you had a cousin coming from the Paul [14:29] to work in Doha, what would you tell him to prepare for the Heat? [14:33] Marinara by, I went to school with baking soda, [14:37] take a lot of money. [14:49] Is it easy to follow these rules? [14:50] Your advice? Is it easy? [15:00] The games will go on, but they leave behind questions about [15:05] just how much the world's migrant labor force should be asked [15:08] to sacrifice as wealthy Nations pursue Perpetual growth in a warming [15:13] world. [15:17] the World Cup is not the Finishing Line This between everybody [15:22] recognizes that this is a longer-term and ever and it will take [15:26] time to build [15:35] The Government of Nepal is conflicted when it comes to demanding [15:41] better conditions from the wealthy Nations, that helped deliver [15:44] nearly a third of Nepal's GDP each year. [15:47] Ramen Shop, Kota is a Nepali journalist who has been investigating [15:52] labor conditions for Nepal's overseas, migrant workers. [15:59] So, I mainly writing about the migrations and the displacement, [16:04] you know, you make people away and 2, [16:10] mg in teaspoons to go by writing this issue. [16:16] yo, someone we spoke with the group of men who are where the [16:25] difficult working conditions in the Gulf, but most still plan [16:28] to go, [16:35] Malaysia. [16:39] How do you spell 7 + 51? [17:06] 108. [17:23] back in Kathmandu Surendra, who once dreamed of watching [17:26] the world cup from a stadium in Qatar is instead just trying [17:30] to stay healthy China Wok, [17:38] Let me guess someone else.
