Today's Video Focus: In 2022, Qatar will become the first country in the Arab world to host
the soccer World Cup. The small Gulf emirate, however, has seen its
image tarnished since it was awarded the event, especially over working
conditions on World Cup building sites.
Human rights activists equate conditions for the migrant workers with
modern-day slavery. In June 2017, Qatar came under additional pressure
as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt suspended
diplomatic relations. They were intent on isolating the nation due to
the Qatari government’s alleged support of al-Qaeda and other Islamist
terrorist groups. With the evidence proving less than concrete, however,
the blockade appeared to be more of a transparent campaign against an
unloved neighbour.
Focus of the Day Article:
The government has published an update to the Ministerial Code
on 23 August 2019 which includes a foreword from the Prime Minister
emphasising the government’s determination to deliver Brexit in October
2019. The Ministerial Code sets out the standards of conduct expected of
ministers and how they discharge their duties, and the latest version
demands that ministers ‘uphold the very highest standards of propriety’.
