Recently, Israel's minister of intelligence and atomic energy made an unexpected admission.

Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum won’t lose any core supporters for letting loose during a fiery run-in with a New York Times reporter. Seen by many on the right as the flagship of the ‘lamestream media’, they will be delighted he attacked the Times, even if he did swear during the exchange and it was caught by TV cameras.

It is, however, a sign that the pressure is getting to the former Pennsylvania senator. He has won a few primaries and caucuses, but he is way behind in the delegate count, way behind in the number of votes cast and way behind in endorsements from senior figures in the Republican party.

After the joy that erupted on the streets of Doha following the successful World Cup bid last month, it saddened me to see Qatar fans abandon their team and leave the stadium nearly 15 minutes before the end of the opening match of the Asian Cup.

The spectacular Khalifa Stadium had been packed with more than 37,000 men and women, most of them in traditional Qatari dress, for Friday's game against Uzbekistan that was being covered worldwide, from the New York Times newspaper in the United States to broadcast networks in Australia.

This was not because Qatar v Uzbekistan comes close to being on most of the planet's radar, but because sport's main event will come to the Gulf state in 2022.
