		</div><p>Qatari World Cup organisers have apologised to a Danish television station whose live broadcast from a street in Doha was interrupted by security staff who threatened to break a camera.</p>
<p>Journalists from the TV2 channel were “mistakenly interrupted” late on Tuesday evening, the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy acknowledged in a statement.</p>
<p>“Upon inspection of the crew’s valid tournament accreditation and filming permit, an apology was made to the broadcaster by on-site security before the crew resumed their activity,” it said.</p>
<p>Reporter Rasmus Tantholdt was speaking live to a news anchor in Denmark when three men drove up behind him on an electric cart and tried to block the camera lens.</p>
<p>“You invited the whole world to come here, why can’t we film? It’s a public place,” Tantholdt was heard saying in English.</p>
<p>“You can break the camera, you want to break it? You are threatening us by smashing the camera?”</p>
<p>The incident, five days before the global football tournament starts, revived a subject that has been sensitive for tournament organisers who have denied claims there are strict limits on where media can film in Qatar.</p>
<p>Event chiefs said they later spoke to Tantholdt and “issued an advisory to all entities to respect the filming permits in place for the tournament”.</p>
<p>Denmark’s football federation has been one of the biggest critics of Qatar among the 32 World Cup teams over the emirate’s record on human rights and treatment of the low-paid migrants who have worked on the massive construction projects since Fifa picked Qatar as host in 2010.</p>
<p>Danish players will wear strips with a toned down badge and manufacturers’ logo when they play France, Australia and Tunisia in Group D, as a protest in support of labour rights.</p>
<p>A third-choice black shirt has been included as “the colour of mourning”, for construction workers who have died in Qatar.</p>
