The Arabic television news channel al-Jazeera has launched its new English-language station.
Al-Jazeera English began broadcasting from the station’s headquarters in Doha, Qatar, at 1500 (1200 GMT).
A screen graphic with a clock ticking down the minutes gave way to a photo montage of the biggest news stories of recent years, including 9/11.
Al-Jazeera in Arabic is known for its forthright style, frank journalism and willingness to discuss taboo issues.
