As a Danish TV reporter was reporting on the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, security forces intervened and threatened to break the camera equipment. 

The reporters were stopped from filming, despite being in a public place and having the required permits to film. The reporter attempted to show the permits for reporting but still faced resistance by the security.

‘You have invited the whole world here. Why can’t we film? It is a public place,’ he said.

The reporter went on to reiterate the authorities’ threat that they would break the camera if they continued to film. ‘You can break the camera,’ he added. ‘You want to break it? Go ahead. You’re threatening us by breaking the camera.’

In a later tweet, it was revealed that an apology from Qatar International Media Office and from Qatar Supreme Committee was issued. However, questions arose as to whether other reporters will face the same treatment.

Nov 17 2022 Share

Anyone born in the late ‘90s or the early 2000’s will remember the colourful world of the Teletubbies. And now we’ll be getting a hit of nostalgia with all new content featuring the four plushy giants. 

The British children’s show has just been rebooted by Netflix, with the first announcement coming out back in September. Fast forward to today and we’ve officially gotten the Tubbies back!

Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po will be reuniting on the streaming giant along with their anthropomorphic vacuum cleaner Noo-Noo for a new series of adventures. 

The series will be 12 episodes long, including a new, original song entitled ‘Tummy Tales’. But that’s not all as the series will feature a younger set of counterparts called the Tiddlytubbies. 

The Netflix show will try to balance the original vibe of the show with new elements. The Sun Baby concept will also return but will feature a diverse cast of faces this time around.
