The Middle East’s most watched network Al Jazeera has become a key bargaining chip in the current crisis between Qatar and several Arab countries, who have asked for the news organisation to be shut down.
The network has condemned the demand, calling it “nothing short than a siege against the journalistic profession”.
CGTN’s Stephanie Fried spoke with Giles Trendle, managing director of Al Jazeera English Network for his thoughts on the network’s future.
