For more than four decades, Al-Saqi bookshop in West London has been the leading Arabic language book store in Europe. It was opened in 1978, by a group of people who'd escaped the civil war in Lebanon. They created a unique place for anyone interested in the Arab world and Arab culture. Newshour鈥檚 Razia Iqbal has been to speak to the family at the heart of Al-Saqi. ( Photo: The front of Al-Saqi Books store in London. Credit: 麻豆社)
