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.

This film was originally broadcast on Al Jazeera English in the run-up to the US elections in 2008. There are few places in the United States currently suffering more economic woes than the mid-west state of Ohio. Traditionally a major industrial center the state has seen more than a quarter of a million manufacturing jobs disappear in the last eight years. Ohio has always proved to be a key battleground for US presidential elections - an all-important swing state. This year will be no different and the worsening economic situation has already prompted the presidential candidates to invest heavily in courting the state's voters with promises of new jobs. In Dayton, a city of 160,000 people in western Ohio, manufacturing jobs once thrived, but today those well paying positions are almost...

It's been about 100 days into the presidency of Rodrigo Duterte. Since he took power, the Philippine president has overseen the killing of more than 3,500 people in his war on drugs, offended world leaders and strained relations with the US. In an exclusive first interview since he was sworn in, we talk to Duterte about his controversial war on drugs and foreign policy - including deteriorating relations with the United States and potentially warming relations with China. "We have three million drug addicts, and it's growing. So if we do not interdict this problem, the next generation will be having a serious problem ... You destroy my country, I'll kill you. And it's a legitimate thing. If you destroy our young children, I will kill you. That is a very correct statement. There is noth...

The candidacy of Barack Obama has made race a central factor in the presidential campaign 2008. From the time of slavery, African-Americans have been one of the most disenfranchised groups in the US. For the same work, African-Americans may earn half as much as white Americans. They're more likely to get convicted and receive harsher sentences for the same crimes. Despite this grim reality, there is a new generation of African-American students on the rise. Obama's speeches inspire them and the prospect of seeing the first African-American elected president of the US galvanises them. We follow two African-American teenagers in Washington DC embracing Barack Obama's example who refuse to let race be an obstacle to their aspirations. It is their voice and they feel it is their time. Thi...

This film was originally broadcast on Al Jazeera English in the run-up to the US elections in 2008. Senators Barack Obama and John McCain have been fighting hard for women's votes in the 2008 US presidential election. McCain even selected Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska to be his vice presidential running mate, and Obama has made a point of addressing issues that are crucial to women voters. Today many working mothers struggle with finding balance between work and home. The US is the only industrialised country that does not guarantee any financial support during family leave. Currently, working mothers can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid maternity leave to care for a newborn - compare that to countries like Norway and Sweden which provide a year or more of paid time off. Across the US som...
This film was originally broadcast on Al Jazeera English in the run-up to the US elections in 2008. One in eight Americans - that is 37 million people - live below the official poverty line. That means these families are often homeless, hungry and have no health insurance. Over the last three decades, the rich have gotten richer and the distance between the 'haves and have nots' has widened. In many western countries up to 10 percent of children live in poverty. That percentage is double in the US and the numbers are growing. What is worse, American children born into poverty have little chance of moving up and out. We the People travels to Oakland, California, where a lack of opportunities, little investment in education and the legacy of the drug epidemic of the 1980s have created a ...

In this second part of the interview, he discusses relations with the US. In response to why the Philippines is "pursuing a different paradigm" in its relationship with the United States, Duterte explains that his disaffection with the American leadership is related to US criticism of his war on drugs.

Since President Hosni Mubarak was forced to step down in 2011, Egypt has faced difficult times. Its first democratically elected leader, Mohamed Morsi was deposed by the military. Then, General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi became president and led a major crackdown against the Muslim Brotherhood. Now, the country is facing even more challenges, from rising food prices to the military's campagin against armed groups in the Sinai. On Saturday, a senior army officer, Brigadier General Adel Ragaai was killed outside his home. He was an armoured division commander who had served in northern Sinai. That's where the government has been fighting several armed groups including those it says are linked to ISIL. So, what's the Egyptian government doing to address these challenges? Presenter...
In this week's UpFront, we talk to the former NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who still maintains the NATO-led air campaign against Muammar Gaddafi in Libya was a "model intervention". In the Reality Check, Mehdi Hasan explains how, although the refugee crisis in Europe may be overwhelming, the scale of the catastrophe is much worse in Africa. And in the Arena, we debate the future of an independent Kurdish state in Iraq, and whether it would further destabilise the already war-torn country.

AJ’s Investigative Unit has uncovered corruption in the Maldives. Secretly filmed interviews describe how men on mopeds carried millions in cash to the Maldives’ political elite. President Abdulla Yameen and his former deputy, Ahmed Adeeb, are accused of receiving cash in bags filled with up to $1m, so much that it was “difficult to carry,” according to one of the men who delivered it. In a statement following its release, the Government of the Maldives said: “There is no evidence in this report connecting President Yameen or current members of his Government to any wrongdoing.” It noted that these claims already form part of a wider investigation initiated by President Yameen in February 2016: “We have asked Al Jazeera to provide any evidence they have which is relevant to this investi...
On December 2, 2015, two gunmen staged a cold-blooded attack in California, leaving 14 people dead and 21 wounded. At the time, the San Bernardino shooting was called the deadliest terror attack on US soil since September 11. One of the gunman, later identified as Syed Rizwan Farook, was a San Bernardino county employee. Farook and his 27-year-old wife Tashfeen Malik were hunted down and killed by the police soon after the shooting. With the killers dead, the FBI pursued the investigation. The shooters' mobile phones were found smashed in a rubbish bin, but then the FBI made another discovery: they found Farook's work iPhone, which soon took centre stage. "We have a promise and a commitment to the victims and the folks that were impacted by this that we will leave no stone unturned. ...

[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
