The Telegraph's potential takeover by RedBird IMI, an investment fund backed by Abu Dhabi, has sparked concerns. The UK government has issued a 'hold separate' order, preventing the transfer of ownership to RedBird IMI. The government is conducting a probe, and RedBird IMI is barred from acquiring The Telegraph until the review is complete. Leading journalists at The Daily Telegraph have expressed opposition to the proposed takeover, citing concerns about a foreign state's influence on the newspaper.
