Tantholdt afbrudt på direkte tv – Qatar-sikkerhedsfolk truer med at smadre TV 2-kamera

TV 2s korrespondent Rasmus Tantholdt blev afbrudt af vrede sikkerhedsfolk under en direkte udsendelse fra Qatar.

When Qatari officials realized they were being filmed on live TV, they apologized and tried to pretend nothing was happening and that they hadn’t just threatened to smash the journalist’s phone.

This World Cup is going to be a shitshow 😂
