I'm so mad I went on qatarbroadcast but it kept on freezing. I wonder if there is any video showing the emir and his sons. Sporting events are the only time I get to see sheikh jassim.
 
There is a Qatar sports site that only show the emir and the crown prince not a lot if pictures or info.

Qatari princess to pay for Saudi man’s wedding - Emirates 24/7
A Saudi man who delayed his marriage because he did not have enough money for the wedding decided to write to a Saudi prince to seek his help.
In a message on Twitter, the man said he needed around SR15,000 ($4,000) to go ahead with his wedding arrangements. He asked Saudi Prince Abdul Aziz bin Fahd, a member of the Gulf Kingdom’s royal family, to help him. He left his mobile phone number to support his request.
"A few days later, the man was surprised when he received a call from a Qatari Sheikha (princess) instead of Prince Abdul Aziz,” the Saudi Arabic language daily Arar News reported.
"She told him she would pay all his wedding expenses and asked him to pray for her ill father. She said she does not want her name to be revealed.”
 
That was so sweet of her. InshAllah her father will get better.
 
They wrote his name wrong, it's Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani (the emir -- how could they get him wrong??)

Ungebetene Hilfe für Frankreichs Problemzone - Frankreich - derStandard.at

Qatar invests in the youth of the banlieus of Paris. (Remember the uproars when the Parisian suburbs were in the news,burning cars etc.?)Many well-educated people were frustrated because they were discriminated due to their ethnicity and/or religion and now they are encouraged to send their CVs to Qatar.
I can translate more of it,if anyone is interested...
 
Thanks. I love how Qatar is trying to find a solution for the problem.
