- Society & Culture
Al Jazeera, one of the world's largest news networks, is under pressure from governments in the Gulf. The network is funded by the ruling family of Qatar, a country which now stands accused by Saudi Arabia of supporting terrorism. Already Al Jazeera has seen bureaus in parts of the region shut down and staff are facing threats. Giles Trendle is Acting Managing Director of Al Jazeera English. Dr David Roberts is from the Department of Defence Studies at King's College London.
Alexandra Shulman retires after 25 years as editor in chief of British Vogue this week. Widely considered one of the most influential voices in fashion, Shulman has in many ways reinvented the century-old magazine while also expanding digitally. She kept her resignation out of the public eye for two months, and is often described as a very private person.
Huw Edwards presents the BBC News at Ten. Last night his nightmare came true when he found himself with nothing to say for four minutes after a system crash.
Presenter: Amol Rajan
Producer: Richard Hooper
Assistant Producer: Nathan Gower.
