Kol Youm’s Amr Adib kept the focus on Qatar again, following reports of a leaked phone calls between senior Qatari officials and members of the Bahraini opposition leader Hassan Sultan. Calls suggest open discussion of an overthrow of the Bahraini government and manipulation of the situation through Al Jazeera. To the boisterous host, this was confirmation that Qatar’s Prince Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani is the puppet master behind Al Jazeera’s news coverage (watch, runtime 20:55).

In a drastic change of topic, Adib veered into a report on the new joint employment program that the ministries of trade and industry and supply launched. The program would see both ministries supply large trucks to 18 unemployed young men to sell food. Each truck came equipped with a refrigerator and can carry up to 5 tonnes of food products (watch, runtime 2:52)
