Qatar ploughs ahead with World Cup plans despite crises

Where the teams will stay in Qatar - and if all will stay in Qatar - for the moment is not clear.

 

Iran has offered its Kish Island as a base for teams and use of that could depend on the tournament remaining a 32-nation World Cup or if FIFA brings forward plans to increase it to 48 sides.

For security, Qatar will use foreign police officers to try and combat hooliganism, say organisers, as they aim to deliver "the safest World Cup in the world".

British Typhoon fighter jets bought last year by Qatar for $8 billion will help provide security and patrol the skies during the event.
