Officials try to stop broadcast on live TV

THIS is the moment heavy-handed Qatari officials interrupt live TV, telling an Argentinian journalist to stop filming as he interviews a football fan in a wheelchair.

A man ordered Joaquin Alvarez to show him his press pass before instructing the cameraman to point his lens away.

Colleagues from the studio in Buenos Aires said: “This is what the Qatar government is like.”

Qatari officials ended up apologising after a similar incident less than a fortnight ago involving a Danish film crew.
