To clarify, I am in the U.S I am listening via Real Player - and I am able to access that via their news portion of their website, to the BBC world service. A lot of the BBC's online streaming content is restricted - I can't get any of the BBC sports streaming for example, but that's minor.
It is a little humorous that Qatar has not seen any violence, not that I have any understanding of political conditions there beyond the presence of Al-Jazeera and statements about political conditions for Women and GLTBQs there in connection with their selection for the World Cup. Perhaps the basic concession of journalism has given the general population enough of an assurance on basic foundational civil rights and the possibility for it to grow that... well what do I know of what will happen in Qatar next.
