Al Jazeera English (AJE) is an international state-funded 24-hour English-language news and current affairs TV channel owned and operated by Al Jazeera Media Network, which is headquartered in Doha, Qatar.
It is a sister channel of the U.S.-based English-language channel Al Jazeera America (AJAM), the Bosnia and Herzegovina-based multi-language Al Jazeera Balkans, and the original, Arabic-language, Al Jazeera (sometimes referred to as Al Jazeera Arabic). The station broadcasts news features and analysis, documentaries, live debates, current affairs, business, technology, and sports, and claims to be the first global high-definition television network. Al Jazeera English is the world's first English-language news channel to be headquartered in the Middle East. The channel aims to provide both a regional voice and a global perspective for a potential world audience of over one billion English speakers who do not share the Anglo-American worldview.
Instead of being run under one central command, news management rotates between broadcasting centers in Doha and London. At its launch, the station actually had four news centres in the world, in: Washington, D.C., London, Doha, and Kuala Lumpur. Complete news bulletins from Kuala Lumpur stopped on 30 September 2010 and from Washington DC on 28 January 2011; they were replaced by news from Doha. All news inserts from Kuala Lumpur ceased in early 2011 and from Washington DC they ceased on 15 April 2012. By contrast, Al Jazeera English is one of the few global media outlets to maintain an agency in Gaza, and in Harare.

Thousands of people from India's lowest caste are turning their backs on Hinduism. The Dalits have faced years of violence and racism because of their position in society.

According to the study, 1 in 5 Republicans are saying the tape disqualifies Trump from the presidency. Yet, he still enjoys a great deal of unwavering support from women.

Ten years ago, in November 2006, Al Jazeera English was launched. To mark that anniversary, we've created REWIND, which updates some of the channel's most memorable and award-winning documentaries of the past decade. Filmed against the dramatic backdrop of Doha's iconic Museum of Islamic Art, our team finds out what happened to some of the characters in those films and asks how their stories have changed in the years since our cameras left. In this episode, we're spooling back to Afghanistan in early 2011. NATO's war against the Taliban was still in full swing at the time, with neither side disposed to show the other much quarter. As a result, every day added to the numbers of combatants and civilians being wounded or killed in the conflict - many of them in remote communities cut off fro...

Pakistani and Indian soldiers have again fired at each across the disputed border in Kashmir. The latest gun battle followed the killing of an Indian soldier by suspected fighters.

Tensions between India and Pakistan over the disputed region of Kashmir have been rising in recent weeks. As such, Pakistan's government is holding an all-party meeting in Islamabad to discuss ongoing tensions with New Delhi. According to Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder, the meeting is "likely to send a strong signal that Pakistan will continue to extend moral, diplomatic, and political support to the freedom struggle inside Indian-administered Kashmir." - Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe - Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish - Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera - Check our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/

People of the Pamir Mountains in Eastern Tajikistan have lived in traditional homes that have changed little in centuries. Although many of the houses in the region have deep traditional, cultural and religious symbolism, it’s the way they’ve been built that’s proven such a success.

Government efforts to curb rising property prices in one of China’s biggest cities have had an unforeseen result, a surge in the divorce rate.

It's been hailed as an oasis of political stability and a model of growth in Africa. But for the past year, Ethiopia has been in the news not because of its economic successes, but because of insecurity on its streets. Ethiopians - mostly from the Oromo and Amhara ethnic groups - are angry about what they describe as decades of marginalisation. They're also upset about government plans to build factories on land they consider their own. The protests have frequently grown violent, and police are accused of responding with unnecessary force. Activists say at least 450 people have been killed. For the first time in 25 years, ruling party leaders have declared a six month state of emergency. It gives the government power to ban protests - and troops can be deployed to maintain calm. So wha...

We also discuss her government's successes and Kenya's experience with the International Criminal Court. In the Reality Check, Mehdi Hasan looks into the French concept of "laicite" - separation of church and state - and some of the double standards it seems to have when it comes to Islam.

It has been 12 months since Russia entered Syria's war. Russian airstrikes began after a request from President Bashar al-Assad. President Vladimir Putin said ISIL fighters were the target but Russian critics say there's a different agenda. Russian pilots are accused of targeting civilians and backing the Syrian regime suspected of using chemical weapons and barrel bombs on its own citizens. The US government is threatening to end all cooperation with Russia if the bombing continues. A ceasefire for the embattled city of Aleppo has collapsed. So, what's Russia's next move?

Two and a half million Afghan refugees living in Pakistan could be sent back, despite not being born there and never having lived there. Citing security concerns, Pakistan says the refugees must return to Afghanistan by the end of the year. It is a decision rights groups are calling "one of the largest forcible returns of refugees in modern history". Afghan refugees have been living in Pakistan since the early 1980s, when they fled from Soviet invasion. Pakistan has hosted more than three million Afghan refugees over the past several decades. The government has repeatedly set and extended deadlines for the refugees to leave. But it says this year is final, calling it a matter of national security. But why is the government doing this now? and are politics at play? Presenter: Sami ...

For almost 13 centuries, from the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 to the overthrow of the last Ottoman caliph in 1924, the Islamic world was ruled by a caliph. Translated from the Arabic ‘Khalifa’, the word ‘caliph’ means successor or deputy. The caliph was considered the successor to the Prophet Muhammad. It is a term that has, at times, been abused. In June 2014, a militant group calling itself the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (known as ISIL or ISIS) declared the establishment of a caliphate and proclaimed its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a caliph. This proclamation was rejected by the overwhelming majority of the world’s Muslims. ISIL had attempted to appropriate a title imbued with religious and political significance – and in doing so had cast a dark shadow over a ri...
[Bizz]
Yeah, yeah Rolling, rolling
Ooooh
We be rolling
[Royal T]
Another day, I cruise at the beach
Car sitting low, Latino's in the next seat
System booming, rims clean with the top back
Rep for summer with the locs and the baseball hat
Down 805, cuties in the next lane
Trying to draw attention for their number and their name
We didn't get no play we got ignored
But there's too many cuties in the sea to fish for I pulled up in the spot in the parking lot
Sipping on a 40 at the corner cuz it gets hot
Cutties checking out the cars that we roll
Black candy with the rims with the booms and the gold Here comes the pigs, turn it down they're getting nearer
Checking out the vatos with the dice in the mirror
But we ain't villains that be stepping out of line
We just like going cruising with the cutties in the summertime
[Chorus x2: Bizz]
From the coast to the avenue
Our crew is deep, I thought you knew
Hitting switches in my 64
Baby don't you know
We be rolling
[Latino]
I said trucks rolling by with the boom-booms in em
I sling Sly shirts with the Levi denim
A late night tings in after day time
Vatos looking loco, hynas looking fine
The veterano's got the switches to the side
The truck's full of amps in the back of the g-ride
Everybody's styling,
Profile's Low I'm driving real slow, looks like a big car show
I peep the cutties with the light
Brown complextion
Gotta bust a U and go the opposite direction
Piña Coloda, room at the Ramada
[Royal T]
Parties at the beach if it gets any hotter
Cholos in bandanas, nobody's down to bang
Let the rags hang, it's a Mexican thang
But we ain't villains that be stepping out of line
We just like going cruising at the beach in the summertime
[Chorus x2]
[Royal T]
Cooling by the shore, hynas cooling in the sand
Lotion in their hand with a summertime tan
[Latino]
Homies kicking back in the shade drinking brew
Have one or two, but they're down to drink a few
Too many drinks when the evening arrive
Pass the keys to the homies, it ain't safe to drink and drive
[Royal T]
Four five burning, sea breeze blowing
Broadies dress sexy, body half showing
Trying to draw attention,
Latino had I mentioned
Pack in the glove, don't forget about prevention
Ready to hit the motel it's almost 1 o'clock
Everything closed so we head to Heidi's Taco Shop
Cutties wanna roll, the lab is where we sent em
Taking em to the room, we did the wild thing with em
But we ain't ones to wine and dine
I'd rather cruise with the hynas at the beach in the summertime
