Here's a short video from Monday's Prism.

A technical fault forced CNN International's 'Prism' off the air on Thursday.

After 90 seconds of audio echo and delay, anchor Stan Grant tossed to a commercial break. Jonathan Mann returned after the break and anchored the remainder of the program from Atlanta.

CNN International today launched the latest addition to the European primetime schedule with the network's first news bulletin to be broadcast from the new Abu Dhabi production center.

Following the program's debut, reaction on the forum has been positive so far.


Anchored by Stan Grant, "Prism" airs at 1700 GMT (2100 Abu Dhabi) on CNN International.

Earlier today, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince, officially opened the Abu Dhabi production centre, as the new outfit was given a network-wide welcome.

CNN International will launch its new broadcast center in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. The new studios and bureau will become the fourth such operation for the network, joining existing centers in Atlanta, London and Hong Kong.

As well as launching the new broadcast center, CNN International will debut the network's first ever live news show to be broadcast from the region. Titled 'Prism', and hosted by veteran correspondent Stan Grant, the program will take one issue each night and dissect the story from multiple angles.

Ahead of the Tuesday launch, Monday's edition of 'Amanpour' was taped from the new studios in Abu Dhabi.


Three pictures showing part of the newsroom of the new Abu Dhabi bureau were released by CNN today.


Finally, Stan Grant presents a four minute tour of the new Abu Dhabi outfit for this month's 'Inside The Middle East'.
