“The worst World Cup ever” is how PR Week describes Qatar’s hosting of the event.

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp says it’s partly the fault of journalists who "should have sent a message" about the country's unsuitability years ago. Also in the programme, why local newspaper groups are up in arms about the BBC’s plans to spend more on digital news and less on local radio shows.
