As can be seen in the video that accompanies this news item, the Danish reporter Rasmus Tantholdt was in full live connection this Tuesday, next to the recently opened Hotel Chedi, in the Katara Cultural Village in Qatar, telling the audience of the TV2 channel of Denmark details about the 2022 Soccer World Cup. At that time, when the journalist was near the stadium where the competition will be held, a vehicle full of security guards approached the team to interrupt the connection.
“We are live on Danish television.
And, as you can see, they're trying to stop us from filming.
And these are the conditions here," the reporter added below.
Tantholdt then begins a verbal argument with Qatari security, showing his ID and accusing security of intending to "break the camera."
“Sir, you invited the whole world.
You invited everyone to come here.
Why can't we film?
It is a public place,” she continued during the dispute.
Later, the Supreme Committee of Qatar has issued a statement stating that the Danish broadcast was "interrupted by mistake".
The images have gone viral and have gone around the world, a few days after the start of the most anticipated sporting event of the year.
