Qatar Diplomatic Dispute: Saudi Arabia says there's no blockade on Qatar

Qatar has been blockaded by its neighbours for more than a week. Both sides of the crisis are on a diplomatic offensive in Europe and the US to try and get support. So far, there's been no hint of resolution. Saudi Arabia and its allies say Qatar is funding terrorists and that's why they've taken action. But as Nicole Johnston reports from Doha, some people think it's more to do with Gulf rivalry.

A blockade is an effort to cut off supplies, war material or communications from a particular area by force, either in part or totally. A blockade should not be confused with an embargo or sanctions, which are legal barriers to trade
