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.

Getting a job can be a challenging for young people in South Korea, where youth unemployment tops than 10 percent. The fact that many potential employers ask candidates to include a photo with their application often makes the process even more competitive in a country obsessed with appearance. Now, President Moon Jae-in is trying to change that practice, with a campaign known as "blind hiring".

Inside Story - Does world still need US for leadership? This year's G20 summit of the world's major economies was a tense and sometimes frustrating gathering, exposing the United States isolation globally on the key issues of climate and trade. World leaders deplored President Donald Trump for pulling out of the landmark Paris Accord, reaffirming their commitment to fight global warming, without the US. Washington is now left in what some are calling a “club of one”. Will the world continue to look to the US for leadership? If not, who will step into that role?

The Washington Post says US intelligence agencies have confirmed the United Arab Emirates was behind the hacking of the Qatar News Agency. The newspaper says the UAE arranged for false quotes to be attributed to the emir of Qatar, including describing Iran as an 'Islamic power' - as well as praising Hamas. Within days, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Bahrain accused Qatar of supporting terrorism - and cut diplomatic ties and closed their borders.

The statement comes as the two sides wrap up the second round of talks on the country's exit from the EU, known as Brexit.

Protest calls grow as Israel tightens grip on al-Aqsa The Fatah party of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has called for a Day of Rage to protest against new security measures introduced by Israel at a Jerusalem site which is holy to both Muslims and Jews. The call follows the implementation of metal detectors and turnstiles at the entrance of al-Aqsa compound after a deadly shootout between Israeli troops and Palestinians there on Friday.

What's behind the diplomatic breakdown in the Gulf? – Inside Story This time it's more than just recalling ambassadors. Land and sea borders have been closed. On top of that, major airlines are cancelling flights to and from Doha. And Qatar residents have two weeks to leave the Gulf states in question. Qatari leaders say they’re astonished at what they call the unjustified decision by seven countries to cut diplomatic relations. A cabinet statement said the aim is to strip Qatar of its sovereign decisions. The Foreign Ministry said: 'The aim is clear and it is to impose guardianship on the state. This by itself is a violation of Qatar's sovereignty as a state. So, how far will this crisis go? And what will mean for the Gulf Cooperation Council? Presenter: Kamahl Santamaria Gu...
Desperate for work, millions of migrants flood into Malaysia. They do the jobs no one wants to do while creating vast profits for those who bring them in. It is estimated there are up to four million illegal foreign workers in Malaysia. Some were trafficked. Others overstayed their visas to pay off their debts to employment agents. Importing labour is a business rife with corruption. While a select few get rich, many workers are trapped in crippling debt, left to live in fear and uncertainty. 101 East investigates the powerful forces making money off the recruitment of vulnerable workers.

Inside Story - What's driving India closer to Israel? Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has welcomed to Israel on Tuesday Narendra Modi, who's on a visit to Israel, the first by a sitting Indian prime minister. Modi's two-day trip marks a significant warming of relations since Israel and India established full diplomatic ties 25 years ago. India has long promoted a pro-Arab agenda, and downplayed ties with Israel - in fear of alienating its large Muslim population, and upsetting economic relations with Arab states. Although Modi will not visit Ramallah on this visit - he met Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas in New Delhi in May. But some say this trip represents a shift in policy. Modi's visit comes with a backdrop of an already booming business and military ties with Israel. India i...
Unreasonable, unbalanced and not actionable. That's the Qatari government's reaction to the list of 13 demands from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and their allies. The demands include closing down the Al Jazeera network. It's often said that journalists should avoid becoming part of the story. But the story of this regional crisis is now putting journalism at the centre of it. Al Jazeera says the ultimatum - which must be met within 10 days - would not affect daily business. Fellow journalists and industry representatives are voicing their angry reactions. They see it as an attempt to silence freedom of expression and using the news organisation as a bargaining chip in political differences.

What's behind Gulf demands to shut down Al Jazeera? Saudi Arabia and its allies blockading Qatar appear to be backing down from their demand to shut down Al Jazeera media network. It has been more than 40 days since Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt cut off ties with Qatar and imposed an economic blockade. Noura al-Kaabi, the UAE minister for the federal national council, said the Emirates sought "fundamental change and restructuring" of Al Jazeera rather than to shut it. Al Jazeera calls it another attempt to "throttle" its independence and rejects any external intervention in its work. But what does this apparent concession mean for the larger dispute entering its second month? Presenter: Richelle Carey Guests: Catherine Philp - diplomatic correspondent of...
India's Line in the Sand In India, sand is now almost as valuable as gold. A massive construction boom is driving demand for concrete and sand is the essential ingredient. But a shortage of legal sand means there's plenty of unmet demand. Organised criminals are seizing the opportunity, pillaging millions of tonnes of sand from the nation's beaches, riverbeds and hillsides. 101 East follows the brave activists risking their lives in the fight to stop this lucrative black market trade.

Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) have always considered "the West" - and the United States in particular - the ultimate enemy. But following President Vladimir Putin's policy of military involvement in Syria, Russia may have taken its place as ISIL's main target. "At the moment ISIL's rage is directed at Bashar al-Assad and Putin.They are the main enemies of ISIL because Russia has smashed ISIL in Syria and the same in Iraq. They will do anything to get their revenge on Russia," says Ahmad Saeedi, Dawat University, Kabul. Thousands of ISIL fighters from Syria, Iraq and elsewhere are regrouping in the virtually impregnable mountains of Afghanistan, plotting revenge against the Kremlin. ISIL's high command have given orders to target Russi...
Qatar, currently the world's number one exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), recently announced that it will increase production from 77 million tonnes of natural gas to 100 million tonnes a year by 2024. With proven gas reserves of almost 26 trillion cubic metres, the peninsula is home to the world's third-largest reserves of gas after Russia and Iran. The majority of Qatar's natural gas is located offshore in the North Field which is shared with Iran. Gas has helped transform Qatar into one of the richest countries in the world, and at current prices, the announced increase in production would translate to revenues of around $30bn. Corporate energy giants like ExxonMobil, Shell and Total are already lobbying the government to take part in the expansion. So what does Qatar's ambiti...
Caribbean to Caliphate - People & Power The Caribbean state of Trinidad and Tobago is traditionally most famous for its spectacular annual carnival, its cricketing prowess and of being the birthplace of calypso music. But more recently it's been getting a more disturbing reputation - as the nation with the highest recruitment rates of ISIL fighters in the Western Hemisphere. So why have so many young Trinidadians been driven to travel thousands of kilometres to participate in the conflicts in Iraq and Syria? According to Imam Yasin Abu Bakr, the leader of the Jamaat al-Muslimeen group, one of the lead causes why young, black men are joining ISIL is their marginalisation. "The Africans are going to a pool of unemployment, they just sit in the ghetto and do nothing. And then drugs come...
[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
