CNBC EMEA To Air Special Coverage of Middle East Political Unrest

CNBC EMEA will be airing a special two hour edition of Strictly Money Monday in reaction to the ongoing political unrest in the Middle East.

The programme, which will air between 11:00 GMT and 13:00 GMT will also be simulcast in it's entirety by CNBC in the US.

Following the conclusion of the extended Strictly Money, CNBC EMEA will be simulcasting CNBC US' special live progamming which will be airing until 17:00 GMT, pre-empting the planned recorded longform programming on both sides of the Atlantic.

Guy Johnson will be contributing to the US special programming from CNBC's London studios throughout the afternoon, pre-empting Monday's edition of European Closing Bell.

CNBC EMEA, which has a bureau in Bahrain, the scene of anti-government protests in the last week, will no doubt be looking at the economic implications of the political unrest which is spreading throughout the region.  CNBC has reporter Jackie DeAngelis and Bahrain-based presenter Yousef Gamal El-Din both in Manama providing up-to-the minute on the situation across the island nation.
