A BBC cameraman has been refused entry to England 's game at the Al Bayt stadium for wearing a rainbow watch strap.
Press and media are arriving for the Three Lions' second game of the World Cup, which will see them take on the USA. Hosts Qatar had been urged to take a softer stance on their cultural norms, which prohibits homosexuality, for the tournament, but the authorities have, so far, not done so.
There have been numerous instances of rainbow-themed objects being confiscated from stadiums or resulted in fans being denied entry. These includes hats, armbands and flags - with watch straps now seemingly added to the list. BBC's Natalie Pirks took to social media to share how her colleague wasn't allowed entry.
