Qatar rejects Arab demand for Al Jazeera's closure

In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective as Qatar rejects the demand for Al Jazeera's closure from Saudi Arabia and other Arab states.

As the UN offers to broker an end to the dispute between Qatar and its Gulf neighbours, we hear from the Qatar-funded TV network Al Jazeera. It's closure is one of the demands for bringing the boycott to an end. A leading member of the loyalist UVF has pleaded guilty to 5 murders committed whilst he was a police informer. We hear about police and paramilitary collusion in Northern Ireland from the former police ombudsman Baroness O'Loan. And as Blowers prepares to deliver his last words on the action at the crease, Barry Davies and Jonathan Agnew discuss the art of the sports commentator.
