A few days ago, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists leaked a set of 11.5 million confidential documents about 214,000 offshore companies listed by the Panamanian corporate service provider Mossack Fonseca. I am sharing a very interesting and concise overview of the Panama Papers in the form of a listening comprehension exercise from the Qatar based <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/wn4UPm85pYc\">Al Jazeera TV<\/a>. This news report discusses the most important aspects of the Panama Papers in Arabic. Similar to earlier posts, this Arabic comprehension exercise not only keeps you updated on the most pressing development in the world at the moment but also allows you to practice and strengthen your Arabic language skills. As I have mentioned before, it is important to practice your reading and writing skills with reading comprehension exercises; however, it is equivalently important to perfect your listening skills. As always, I have some questions for you to answer. Good luck!
