World Cup TV reporter robbed live on air in Qatar - and left baffled by police response

An Argentinian TV reporter has been taken aback by the response of Qatari police after getting robbed during the opening days of the 2022 World Cup.

The tournament kicked off in earnest on Sunday evening with the hosts having been on the end of a 2-0 defeat to South American side Ecuador. In the build-up to the opening match, Argentine journalist Dominique Metzger was conducting a live broadcast from the Corniche area of Doha.
