One man waved at the camera, but another tried to cover it up, which quickly escalated into a heated exchange.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMister, you invited the whole world to come here. Why can\u2019t we film? It\u2019s a public place,\u201d Tantholdt said in English, as an official covered up the camera and blocked the network from filming.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>As the exchange went on, it got more and more heated. Tantholdt was filmed showing the men his permits, but they appeared to imply that he didn\u2019t have the correct ones. It was at that point that one of the officials threatened to damage the camera they were using to film.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can break the camera. You want to break it? Okay, you break the camera. So, you\u2019re threatening us by smashing the camera,\u201d the reporter said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rasmus-tantholdt-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rasmus-tantholdt.png\" alt=\"Rasmus Tantholdt reports on TV2\" class=\"wp-image-24672061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rasmus-tantholdt-1.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rasmus-tantholdt-2.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rasmus-tantholdt-3.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rasmus-tantholdt-3.png?w=512 512w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Rasmus Tantholdt reports on TV2<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">TV2<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/qatar-world-cup-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/qatar-world-cup.png\" alt=\"A screengrab of the interaction on live TV\" class=\"wp-image-24672076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/qatar-world-cup-1.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/qatar-world-cup-2.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/qatar-world-cup-3.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/qatar-world-cup-3.png?w=512 512w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>A screengrab of the interaction on live TV<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">TV2<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Per Tantholdt\u2019s Twitter account, the network eventually got an apology from Qatar\u2019s International Media Office and Supreme Committee. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut will it happen to other media as well?\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The 2022 World Cup has been <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/11\/15\/all-the-controversies-surrounding-the-qatar-world-cup-in-2022\/\">surrounded by controversy<\/a> involving the host country, with Qatar\u2019s human rights record under scrutiny as they prepare to host the tournament.
