Why do some Iraqis want their country back to what it was.
Hello everyone, welcome to "connecting the world ".
Israeli police are investigating possible retaliation for the murder of three Israeli teenagers.
Hours after a funeral for Israeli boys, the body of a Palestinian boy was found in a wooded area of West Jerusalem.
This finding will only exacerbate tensions in the region.
Witnesses say dozens of people were injured in clashes in a community in Jerusalem.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya condemned the murder in Jerusalem.
He vowed to pursue the responsible person.
Ben Wedeman is following up on the latest developments there for us from Jerusalem.
Ben, with the end of the day, what is happening now?
Ben wedeman, cnn international correspondent: Well, at this point, these conflicts, which have been happening for about 11 hours since early morning, are relatively light at the moment.
We have just spoken to a person from the Palestinian Medical Relief Association who told us that so far at least 70 people have been wounded by stun grenades, rubber bullets and tear gas.
All this was triggered by the discovery of a body in the west of Jerusalem's forest early this morning.
It was identified as the body of 16 people. year-
According to his family, he was kidnapped around 4: 00 in the morning in front of the mosque behind me.
Now we have heard the condemnation of Palestinian and Israeli officials.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin netaenhu has warned people not to put the law in their hands.
At this point, we know that the body of Khedair is still in the hospital of the morgue.
The cause of death is being examined.
We know that the father went there and was unable to identify the body due to severe burns.
He was identified as positive only after a DNA test.
Now, the atmosphere in Jerusalem is obviously very grim and very dark at the moment.
I was on Jaffa Road last night (ph)
In West Jerusalem, I saw more than 100 Israeli youths shouting at Arabs for death.
I spoke to a man in the crowd and he told me that they would attack once the sun went down ---Fionnuala.
Yes, after 6: 00.
Let me ask you if this development has hindered or delayed the Israeli government's intention to retaliate for the killing of three teenagers?
Weidman: Interestingly, we know that the Israeli security cabinet will have its third meeting in three days this evening.
The meetings lasted a long time.
There is very little information leaked from them.
Before they met last night, the prime minister did say that they would follow three channels, three tracks on Israel's response to the discovery of the bodies of the three kidnapped and killed Israeli teenagers the day before yesterday, they will spare no effort to find the murderer who killed them.
They will fight the infrastructure of Hamas in the West Bank.
Finally, he said they would take action against Hamas in Gaza.
But at this point, for example, according to the Israeli military, 34 air strikes were carried out on Gaza the night before, and no air strikes were carried out last night.
So it doesn't seem like the security cabinet will take any action soon before it clearly decides to take action, maybe--Fionnuala.
Hairdresser: Okay.
Okay, Ben Wedeman. thank you very much.
Joining us from Jerusalem, it is clear that you can hear in the background that some events are continuing.
Then, in the coming hour, we will look at how the latest developments may strike differences in efforts to restart the Middle East peace process.
This process lacks progress and has had a domino effect throughout the region over the years.
We will take you through a long history of stopping and beginning the United States in a rowS.
It is futile for governments to try to make breakthroughs.
We will also get expert analysis from here on how the situation may be.
But starting with the CNN Center, it's for Becky Anderson, and of course, Becky Anderson is the regular host to connect the world.
Hi, you are in Abu Dhabi, Becky.
Moderator Becky Anderson: Thank you very much.
You spent the first week of your one-month trip to the Middle East with us.
Let's turn our attention to Iraq.
The prime minister extended a helping hand to all Iraqi tribes fighting government forces, offering amnesty. Nuri al-
Mr. Maliki said Amnesty was not included for those who killed Iraqi troops.
The prime minister also said he hoped members of parliament would gather to elect new leaders, including the prime minister. (
Start Video Editing)NURI AL-
Prime Minister Maliki of Iraq (
By translation)
We hope to continue to nominate the presidents and prime ministers through political processes and democratic mechanisms, but we have not succeeded in this regard.
It is hoped that at the next session we will bypass this and we will try to be more realistic. (END VIDEO CLIP)
Anderson: try to be more realistic, he said.
Meanwhile, fighting against Islamist insurgents continues in Iraq.
Iraqi warplanes attacked a town in the northern Iraqi province of Salahuddin, killing at least 17 people and injuring nine, police officials said.
Let's take a look at the latest.
Nima elbair is joining us now from Baghdad.
Let's start with politics.
The Prime Minister said the effort became more realistic as the government tried to reconvene next week and gather together in a united way.
Is reality effective on the ground?
CNN International correspondent nima elbagir: Well, given how fast things are going on the ground, Becky, it seems that only Iraqi politicians are not really aware of the urgency of the situation, even within the most optimistic time frame.
This means that it will take a week for parliament to reconvene and they will take a week to pick a speaker and start the process of creating a legitimate government, considering how important this is, the existence of a legitimate and credible government will allow allies such as the United StatesS.
To strengthen their support, we hear voices from the United States over and over againS.
Officials say they are not ready unless it is really important. e.
Militants at the front door of Baghdad are not ready to be seen as military support for an unelected government.
This is what we need to have a meeting in Parliament to do.
We also see the Iraqi government taking advantage of air strikes, the deaths of these 17 civilians, these problems are beginning to emerge, and only in many ways will the hat increase the resentment towards aluminum
Maliki's government is in some Sunni areas where ISIS has been operating.
Becky, even this amnesty is not exactly an olive branch, is it?
We will give amnesty to those who do not fight alongside ISIS forces.
It's not a full amnesty, and in fact it's more of a warning and a deterrent to those who might want to join ISIS, Becky.
Anderson: What will they tell you when you talk to people on the streets of Baghdad?
ELBAGIR: Well, the Iraqis don't seem to be surprised that their politicians fail to meet the challenge in front of them, there is a real feeling that it can be expected, even when the disaster is most critical ---
One Iraqi told me that we are facing an absolute collapse in Iraq and that politicians are still unable to unite.
This has been a stain on Iraqi politics for the past decade.
It is clear that this is still a stain on Iraqi politics.
It's all happening, Becky, of course as an American. S.
Officials have warned that ISIS militants are stepping up around Baghdad, believing the threat to the capital is more credible than ever.
In fact, they are the new deployment that is coming and it will be distributed along the main highway.
It will be distributed around Baghdad airport.
So, Becky, if Iraqi politicians don't, they see the urgency clearly.
Nima elbair serves you in Baghdad.
CNN has just received some news, we heard from the Iraqi defense minister that five other Russian-made jets have been shipped to Iraq, with a total of 10 Soviet-
According to the contract between Moscow and Baghdad, 25 people were sent to Iraq.
Of course, the more we do, the more we will bring it to you.
We live from the capital Abu Dhabi.
Behind me, the Sheikh zazayed Grand Mosque is here, and when we end Ramadan in the holy month, people are looking forward again to the call of prayer.
Tonight, the deadline for a nuclear agreement between Iran and the West is coming.
I will discuss with the Iranians on the streets of Tehran what they may reach.
At a time when the Israeli and Palestinian leaders do not even talk, what is the hope of peace in the whole region?
Next, we will analyze the standoff and its growing impact on the Middle East and beyond. (
Business break)
Anderson: this is CNN, connecting the world with me, Becky Anderson left the UAE. Welcome back.
Tensions between Israel and its Palestinian neighbors have recently escalated, a situation that is affecting a wider range of conflicts in the region.
The Palestinian cause is often seen as a motive for Islamic militants across the Middle East.
Before the Syrian civil war led Syrians themselves to flee to neighboring countries, Syria was the main refuge for Palestinians.
Israel has a vested interest in containing the Islamist insurgency on its eastern flank.
Prime Minister Benjamin netaenhu has called for independence in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region of Iraq to protect its assets and values.
It's not the first time he's at odds with Washington.
Well, in order for any hope in the wider region, Israel-
Palestinian talks are imperative.
For decades, there has been no meaningful progress in these talks, and hope is negligible.
At present, the two sides seem to be as far apart from the past.
Here to analyze this for us, is a frequent visitor to the London School of Economics Middle East Center Fawaz Jels on this show.
Thank you for joining us.
As I said, nothing that happens in the Middle East can be seen in isolation, Fawaz, which is obvious.
But how important it is to fail to find a peaceful solution to the Israeli problem --
All of this is the Palestinian crisis?
Fawaz gerges, London School of Economics: Becky, that's important.
In fact, without understanding the breakdown of the Secretary-led peace talks, you cannot understand the tragic and heartbreaking killing of Israeli teenagers and Palestinian teenagers-U. S.
Secretary Kerry
This particular collapse has not only created the conditions for basic violence, but in fact for all confrontation, particularly the situation is out of control.
Becky, you have a feeling of desperation among the Palestinians who have seen the Likud-led government steal their land and create facts on the ground.
They could do nothing about it.
In fact, I am not surprised to see the emergence of extreme unilateral Palestinian groups acting independently of Fatah and Hamas.
In fact, the killing of Israeli teenagers is characterized by an independent militant group because neither Hamas nor Fatah is interested in committing such terrible crimes.
Anderson: Fawaz, a group that might be so small claimed responsibility that when I handed it over to them yesterday, did the PLO know that they said they didn't.
Any interesting points you make.
Let me step back for our audience and let them know what has happened in the last 20 years because of the U. S.
Of course, several key peace efforts between Israel and the Palestinians involved the '93 Oslo agreement '.
Of course, the PLO leader Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Rabin held a famous handshake at the White House.
In 2000, then the United StatesS.
Bill Clinton gathered the two sides again at Camp David, but of course there was no final agreement between Arafat and then Israeli Prime Minister Barack Obama.
Fast forward until 2003, so-
United States-drafted road map for peaceS.
Russia, the European Union and the United Nations, of course, have never been successfully implemented.
In 2007, President Bush helped the United States launch a new round of peace talks. S.
City of Annapolis
The talks broke down after Israeli Prime Minister Olmert was forced to step down on corruption charges.
I don't know if this picture is useful to your audience, but President Obama tried to resume peace talks in late 2010.
Following Olmert's success, there was no progress in the negotiations, while Netanya refused to extend a partial ban on the construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
A year ago, John Kerry tried to restart the negotiations, but it did not succeed in the end.
Now Fawaz in his book, Our Last Best Chance: pursuing peace in times of danger, King Abdullah of Jordan wrote with great frustration, I quote him, "Israel has a clear choice.
Does it want to continue to serve as a fortress for Israel to monitor the fortress of increasingly hostile and aggressive neighbors? " Is he right? GERGES;
He's right.
He was not the only one who offered such a reason.
In fact, US President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. S.
Secretary of State John Kerry made it very clear that the status quo Becky was not feasible and that Israel could not occupy Palestinian land and get away with it.
Israel cannot steal Palestinian land.
As you said, the whole region is at a revolutionary moment.
The Palestinian tragedy struck a deep chord, not just in
Known as ISIS and al-Qaida, but in mainstream Arab social and political groups.
I think Israeli Prime Minister Becky--
I'm very outspoken--
He gambled that the region was basically broken, that there was civil war in Syria and Iraq, that al-Qaida was developing momentum, that Israel could basically create facts on the ground, nor can the United States put pressure on the Israeli government.
In the last few days, what we 've seen tells you a lot about Arab-
The Israeli conflict not only with the largest Palestinian region, but also with the Arab-
The Israeli conflict.
In fact, what I want to say is that I can easily see an upgrade that basically goes beyond Palestine --
The Israeli theater included Lebanon, Iraq and Syria, especially because of the rise of nearby militants and extremist groups.
Anderson: Fawaz, King Abdullah of Jordan, of course, is just one of the key figures in the area, he has spent ten years as long as he is the young king of that country, try to do something for peace in the Middle East and bear the goals that his father could not achieve in about 50 years.
King Abdullah also mentioned in his book that he warned Obama in 2008 not to be rudely treated in peace talks by the then new Israeli prime minister, Natanya.
He said he warned Obama that his narrative would be like this. The problem is Iran, Iran, and by the way, we don't have a legitimate Palestinian leader to negotiate.
In all this, you have already talked about the issue of Netanya.
The Israelis will often say and continue to say that there is no legitimate Palestinian leader who can negotiate with them, are they right to some extent?
I want to know who in all this you think should be most blamed?
You know, Becky, it might be a bit direct what I'm going to say.
In fact, Palestinians do not have partners in peace.
It is not the Israelis who do not have peace partners. You cannot --
If I were Netanyahu, if I were the leader of Israel, I mean there is no better, better partner than Mahmoud Abbas.
The Israelis will never have more obedient partners than Mahmoud Abbas.
It is not my words, it is President Barack Obama who made it clear to the Israeli prime minister that this is the moment to seize the opportunity.
Becky, it's not about political scoring either.
In his first year in office, Barack Obama worked very hard to persuade Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to stop building settlements on occupied Palestinian land for one year.
He tried but failed.
John Kerry tried it for a year.
Although he said he was not interested in an independent Palestinian state-
He accepted the founding of Palestine.
He tried to make facts on the ground.
He wants to eat up Palestinian land.
He is working hard because he realizes that the US leadership is incapable and unwilling to put pressure on Israel.
Even Barack Obama, who knows the peace process better, and even Barack Obama, who really knows the peace process, can't basically put pressure on nantonia, because for the land of nantonia,
Finally, at the last point, Becky, because you talked about the killing of Israeli teenagers and Palestinian teenagers, it was really heartbreaking.
But the reality is that now, Israel is trying to demonize the Palestinians, portray them as killers and thugs, creating a gap between Fatah and Hamas.
In fact, for everyone, the only way out, the only way out is the two-state solution where Palestinians and Israelis live side by side.
Everyone knows that this is a must.
Only Prime Minister Netanyahu did not believe this particular vision, Becky.
Anderson: the analysis of Fawaz Gerges on connecting the world tonight.
Thanks Fawaz.
What is happening in the Middle East continues to make headlines for CNN. com.
There, you can find a variety of views from CNN contributors.

Live broadcast from Abu Dhabi, Becky Anderson and I linked the world together.
As seen on the screen, companies in Uganda are emerging in marketing. Stay with us. (
Business break)
Anderson: leave the Middle East for now.
It's time to take you to the Global Exchange, where we introduce you to the people and places of the world's emerging economies and pave the way for the future.
Tonight, one of the biggest challenges facing any growing business is, of course, to send a message to potential customers.
If you run a company yourself, you will know that.
However, a company in Uganda has not only achieved this, but also gone further.
It is redefining the nature of advertising in the country.
There's more about Isha Sesay. (Start Video)
Unidentified male: Camouflage Media is a digital signage provider in Uganda.
We focus on digital media.
The two branches we are currently focusing on are the retail platform and our corporate signage partners.
CNN International correspondent isha sesay: this is the first website in Uganda to provide content development and IT system launch. The Camouflage Media said that its effect is to be able to provide content and software to reach consumers.
Unidentified male: This is where some screens are placed.
There are currently three in the Till area.
The reason we chose to put them in the till area is because it is a convergence point.
So everyone gathered here after shopping.
As long as someone is in front of you, there is nothing else to look at except those screens.
As a result, it provides high visibility and ensures that all brands advertised are well-known.
This form of advertising offers a range of benefits to their customers.
Matthew capanello, head of media marketing in disguise: first, digital advertising has its advantages.
It's just a matter of changing what you have and distributing it online.
So I should say that the cost of having to complete all of these printing has been minimized.
Cesc: disguised media brought their ideas to companies such as telecom provider MTN.
This is their unique marketing approach, beating other marketing companies such as ComTel (ph)
And major media.
Unidentified men: what makes us different from our competitors in the market is that we also create content for them.
So we went further.
We have built this platform into a unique communication platform.
After overcoming many challenges
Camouflage Media has quickly become a well-known brand in Uganda, such as purchasing capital.
We are all very young. The average age is about 25.
Everyone joined in and soon accepted the idea.
It's exciting to do something new in the market.
Capanello: While it sounds cliché, we have to be passionate about what you do or it will be another boring day in the office.
Cesay: they think there are many opportunities for starting a business in Uganda.
KABONERO: Many markets are saturated.
However, when you come to Uganda, you will find that businesses that do exist in other regions do not exist in Uganda.
So, we have to look at what kind of ideas you can move from a more developed economy, and I think a lot of young people can take advantage of them. (END VIDEOTAPE)(

This is the best story when you see the Sheikh Zayed mosque behind me.
Earlier today, clashes broke out near Jerusalem after the body of a Palestinian teenager was found.
Israeli police say they are trying to determine whether he was killed for killing three young Israelis.
The Iraqi prime minister has announced amnesty for all tribes fighting the government.
But the olive branch did not extend to fighters involved in the killing of Iraqi troops.

According to Reuters, Iran's foreign minister said Tehran would not give in to Western countries during the latest round of nuclear talks in Vienna.
Tehran and six world powers have said their goal is to reach a permanent agreement before an interim agreement is reached in July 20, allowing Tehran to be moderately eased from the expiration of the sanctions.
That's what Iran's foreign minister said. (

Iranian Foreign Minister javad zarif: We still have time to get out of the spiral of escalation and try to respect each other. It works.
We are trying to reach an agreement, not a good agreement or a bad one, but a workable and lasting one.
By definition, any transaction is a result of mutual understanding, not a result imposed by one or the other.
We are willing to take concrete measures to ensure that peace is maintained on our nuclear program for ever. (END VIDEO CLIP)
Anderson: Okay.
So, what do Iranians think about reaching an agreement with the West?
Reza Sayah took to the streets of Tehran to find the answer. (Start Video)
CNN International correspondent reza sayah: on the streets of downtown Tehran, CNN is talking to dozens of Iranians to find out what they think about the final round of nuclear talks between Iran and world powers.
Every Iranian we spoke to told us that they wanted a nuclear deal with the world powers.
"We are really tired of sanctions," the man said . ".
"The best way for the Iranian people is to reach an agreement.
We don't want sanctions or war.
"If we reach a compromise, this is the best," said poet Mohammed Rostami . "ph)
"It will help the economy and be open to the rest of the world.
"We have to be hopeful about the deal," says graphic artist benezi . "ph)
Otherwise young people will continue to leave Iran.
"Before Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was elected last year, the nuclear deal seemed unthinkable, and Rouhani promised to improve relations with the West.
A few weeks after taking office, Rouhani made history by telephone with the United States. S.
S. President Barack Obama made his first speech since 1979.
Less than three months later, Iran signed an interim agreement with world powers to freeze most of its nuclear programs in exchange for limited sanctions relief.
But reaching a final agreement is largely not easy because Iran and the world powers have very different views on what the perfect final agreement should look like.
Iran wants a final agreement to recognize its right to a peaceful nuclear program.
Iran says it will undergo stricter inspections and restrict the production of enriched uranium.
But in return, Iran wants the world's biggest powers to lift tough sanctions against Iran.
But world powers are looking to reach a final agreement that will add further checks and restrictions to Iran's nuclear program.
They even suggested asking Iran to dismantle some nuclear facilities and cut thousands of centrifuges.
They may also want some sanctions to continue.
Mohamed Marandi, political analyst: I hope we can reach an agreement.
Sayer: Iranian political analyst Mohammad Marandi says a final deal will only be reached if the world's powers recognize Iran's rights under international law.
Because President Rouhani said Iran will not accept the last day of nuclear apartheid, it basically means that Americans must recognize Iran's right to concentrate for peaceful purposes.
Analyst Mohammed Ali Shabbani said that this is the best time to reach an agreement.
Muhammad Shabbani, political analyst;
Time is not good for anyone.
The longer you drag, the more exposed all aspects of us will be.
SAYAH: The deadline for the two sides to reach an agreement is July 20, and this number of days millions of Iranians will find out whether the agreement that was once a daydream became the reality they wanted.

Yousuf said he was part of the Iraqi National Guard and later became the driver of Saddam's party leader, shaking hands with the dictator himself.
After the fall of Saddam Hussein, Yousuf worked for KBR, a subsidiary of halburton.
He believes that democracy will never succeed because it is based on what the Iraqis have never understood.
He said he is now a grocery store clerk who fled Baghdad three years ago after insurgents attacked his Christian family and killed his sister.

A woman who really breaks the pattern in the UAE is Maryam al Mansoori.
She was the first female fighter pilot of the Emirates Air Force.
Earlier, the major told me about her career and how it developed. (Start Video)
This is your office, Maryam.
Great things.
You are the first female pilot of the Emirates Air Force.
When did you decide to fly?
Major maryam al mansoori, Emirates Air Force: Actually, right after I graduated from high school.
I made up my mind to be a fighter pilot, but the door didn't open when women became pilots.
So I waited almost 10 years.
Anderson: Is that frustrating?
Yes. Yeah. Of course.
But this is not what it is.
As soon as the door opened, I offered to bring it up.
Anderson: To be honest, how challenging are you between your male colleagues in the air force?
MANSOORI: Initially, they were very supportive of the superior authorities, but to complement the idea, there was some hesitation in how to deal with our problems, when a woman entered a new male-dominated field, they will find the same hesitation, the same bias, the same stereotype thinking, which is normal in every culture.
I have to prove myself with true determination and enough skills and knowledge to prove that I can be as skilled as people in this field.
Anderson: You said you have to prove that you have the same skills.
Do you have to prove that you are better than them?
MANSOORI: Yes, most of the time, because the focus is on me, especially since we are the first group.
Anderson: Yes. Sure.
Do you remember when you first entered it?
Just take me back. MANSOORI: Yes.
The first time was really great. So --with an IP (ph)in my backseat.
But soon after the four missions, they sent me alone, which increased my confidence. . .
Anderson: how do you feel?
MANSOORI: Yes, it feels really great, especially--
They give you the confidence that you can fly on this very expensive and valuable jet used to defend the country and drive it alone.
Anderson: Do you think you broke the glass ceiling?
Let's say, yes, because it's like a dream, or something that's impossible to achieve.
So I think yes.
Anderson: Do you think we have a lot of responsibility on our shoulders?
MANSOORI: I felt this responsibility from the first day we started flying on 2006.
I feel like I have to take this responsibility.
Through this I can-
I can be a great fighter pilot like any other male in this field.
Anderson: Are you a great fighter pilot?
I hope so.
This is a process of continuous learning.
Anderson: The leadership here has made a lot of noise, and they want to see where Emerati women are moving forward, participating in the workplace, participating in industry and becoming ambassadors to the country.
But do you see this happening on the ground, or do you become an exception to what you think is the rule?
MANSOORI: No, I can see it in every area of the UAE.
I can see women working in different areas that are not used.
They were very successful.
They prove their abilities in every field.
Anderson: Do you think it's more important than ever to be involved in defending your country today?
MANSOORI: Sure.
We are in a hot area. So that --
We must prepare every citizen of this country to defend the UAE.
So it doesn't matter whether it's women or men, as long as we defend our country.
Anderson: What do you like to do? MANSOORI; For sure.
Anderson: Do you like it? MANSOORI: Yes.
Yes, I fell in love with it.

The Belgian goalkeeper denied the news.
The Dream of the US World Cup may be over, but US goalkeeper Tim Howard is a national hero.
He managed to keep Belgium in the Bay for 90 minutes and set a World Cup record with 16 saves.
Tim Howard spoke to CNN earlier about the team's last roller coaster ride. (

Goalkeeper: You know, the profit is very good when you play against a big game against a top team.
Belgium is a terrible team.
They're so talented.
You know, the last bit of quality.
When you play against top players, sometimes you can play your best and you will still be defeated, you know, but at the end of the game we created two incredible opportunities and we
We are right.
We may be talking about a completely different scene this morning.
But this is not the case. CUOMO: I agree.
I keep saying hey don't make it sound like U. S.
I'm lucky to be there.
They should hang their heads.
They have a chance.
But the reason you stay in the game is because of you, whether you like to put it on your shoulder or not.
Do you think you have a special game?
Do you know?
I think sometimes you feel a rhythm as a goalkeeper. -that was --
For most of this season, I feel this way, and of course I feel good in the last few weeks.
The game slowed down for me and I saw things much earlier.
My response was quick, so, yes, it felt like this, but at those moments when I knew the wolf knocked on the door, I was almost very tired and could come in at any time.
So, I was worried that taxes might break, so, I organized as much as I could, that's why my voice disappeared and made the savings I was able to make. (END VIDEO CLIP)
Anderson: Well, it sounds like he's kind of yelling after the game.
This is an exciting World Cup so far, isn't it?
Let's take a look at what the next game is for James Piercy.
He is the editor of Sports 360, a frequent visitor to the show.
Come on for me before we do that, and before we do that, we have to talk about the beat of Tim Howard.
You know, when the bear barks at the door, what he says there, in fact, he is able to stop them.
I mean, it's really a show.
Sports 360: Yes, I mean, it is very so.
You know, there are some great goalkeepers in the history of the World Cup, but you have to say that Tim Howard has performed very well.
I mean, save 16, 17 times depending on where you get the stats from.
This is a record.
Perhaps the most impressive thing is that every saving is getting better.
Every time you think the Belgian will break through, he will take another one out of his bag.
Anderson: I think it's interesting.
He said the game was slow for him. He can see it.
He can see what's going on.
He is now more responsive than ever before.
Yes, I mean, from the Belgian point of view, all parts of his body are falling off and they're obviously thinking, you know, will we score?
Shall we play all night?
But, you know, thanks to them.
They made a breakthrough.
I mean, 37 shots, which is ridiculous for a game.
It just sums up the wonderful entertainment that everyone has in the game.
Anderson: Let's take a look at what's going to happen next because we're in the final stages.
I mean, it's going to be exciting.
It's the top eight. Brazil-Colombia.
Piercy: I mean, if you're going to stay in shape, you have to say the way the Colombian are playing and they should win it.
I mean, the domestic factors in Brazil.
The hosts always seem to improve their game.
You will think Brazil may have a lot of performance in it.
Whether they can deliver in time is the key.
If they can find another way from the threat in Colombia.
Anderson: only in Europeup, France-Germany.
Well, there's a lot of history in this draw.
In 82, Germany beat France in both events in 86.
You know, can the French retaliate?
They play very well and attack very well.
I'm not 100% sure its defense has been tested and not enough.
Anderson: Are you sure the Germans are?
Well, the problem is German--
As I mentioned in Brazil, you will feel that they have more things and more from Germany.
If Joachim Low can solve his tactical problem, he can get the right answer ---
Because he doesn't seem to know his best.
If he can score the best 11 points on the pitch, I hope Germany can do that.
Anderson: NetherlandsCosta Rica.
I'm like Costa Rica.
It's definitely a pleasure to look at them, isn't it?
Oh, of course.
I mean, they have won the right to enter the top eight.
They went through a very difficult team.
They have a very structured system, you know.
They know the game.
They have a great goalkeeper in Carville Navas. ph).
Unfortunately they have a Dutchman who is probably one of the best attacking teams in the tournament so far.
You think it might be--
A step too far, you know.
Anderson: Yes, I want to know if it's a year in the Netherlands after 2010. PIERCY: Yeah.
I mean, I'm not sure if they're going to win, but I think they should. . .
Anderson: they should go all the way, right?
Last night, Argentina and Belgium?
Piercy: basically, what we're talking about is Messi's game against Belgium, where Belgium is the best scorer.
They scored different goals in the game and broke up.
They showed the strength of the bench.
If they play as well as against Argentina, I think they can beat Argentina.
It all depends on whether they can stop Messi and not many people can stop Messi at the moment.
I was a bit inclined to Belgians in this race, just because I was impressed with them last night.
You know, if Tim Howard didn't play as well, we 'd be at 5, 6, 7-0 game.
We will talk to the Belgians.
So, I think they have a big chance against Argentina.
Anderson: I chose them at the beginning of the game.
I don't know why.
I just looked --
That squad is--
I know I talked to Kompany before the tournament.
He said that they have known each other since they were 15 and 16, and that they have been looking for 2014 in the past decade --and-a-half. This isn't --
You know, this is what they really want, right?
They should not be ready.
Yes, I also talked to Argentina.
When you look at the Argentina team, it's the best 11 they have.
No choice.
Belgium, they can mix it up.
If he starts a different top three, they let Lukaku go off the bench last night and make a change.
They've got --
He has many choices.
Anderson: always happy. Thank you.
At least this evening, this is what you think about our World Cup.
I'm Becky Anderson.
That Is Connecting the world.
Thank you for watching.
This week, we will leave you, as always, the Grand Sheikh Zayed Mosque.
We wish you a good evening.
See you in Cairo next week.
