Press TV Sky Digital 515 is a new Iranian non sectaraian media platform that is alot more appealing than al jazeera imo due to the Islamic centric position it takes. There's a fantastic show called Islam & Life which airs Fridays 8pm hosted by Tariq Ramadan.
any views on this channel ?

I just like MP George Galloway whom the Iranians let lose on their Press TV.
I saw him twice now. He was brilliant as usual.
Unlike on the BBC, Galloway, can say anything he
wants against the U.S. without fear of being sacked.
Yvonne Ridley is also on it.
She has her hour long slot in which she is always dissing the Israelis in some way.
Unlike Al Jazeera, all female presenters and reporters on Press TV are covered up.
Iranian mullahs gave orders to women to wear "Islamic Hijab" on their TV network.
At least 4 non-muslim presenters and 3 reporters also non-muslims,
have to wear muslim dress to work on the channel.
They appear as if they are forced to wear it: http://www.presstv.com/Programs/

"There is no compulsion in religion."
Quran:Ch 2 (Baqara):256
But there's nothing wrong with women who want to wear Hijab, that's good.

Yes, but should Fiona Bruce be made to wear a headscarf?
She is already ravishing enough.

No one should be forced to wear Hijab.

I think there needs to be an exception in the case of Fiona Bruce.
Why Fiona Bruce?

Because then one can actually be aware of world news, and not just local events.
