For reference, Commons already has a bot mass uploading them. See http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Files_from_Al_Jazeera , which apparently includes some videos http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mina_fly_over_-_Flickr_-_Al_Jazeera_E... , but mostly still images.

Thanks to the work of a few GLAM people, Al Jazeera are now making their flickr photostream available with a CC share-alike license.

I don't know if this will later extend to video footage, but it'll be worth keeping an eye on their CC page.
