Al Jazeera English unblocks its YouTube videos for US-based viewers

US-based news junkies can once again access reports produced by Quatar-based Al Jazeera English online after the network stopped blocking access to its YouTube videos within the US. Al Jazeera started to lock out US viewers from its online videos when it launched its new cable channel Al Jazeera America in August 2013 due to contractual obligations. Its contracts with cable operators also forced the network to block its live stream in the US.
