Alwaleed Bin Talal: TV troubles

Bahrain has suspended Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdelaziz’s satellite television channel Al-Arab, citing a failure to obtain the right licence to broadcast from Bahrain. The channel had gone live on 1 February, and was taken off air the next day; one of the programmes broadcast was an interview with Bahraini opposition politician Khalil Al-Marzooq, which is thought to have displeased the government.
