The country’s stargazers got the chance to see the rare spectacle for the first time since 2022. The Moon turned a deep, dark red – sometimes called a “blood moon” – as the Earth passed directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow across the lunar surface. Where skies were clear, the eclipse was visible at around 7.30pm. The eclipse was visible to the naked eye and unlike solar eclipses was safe to view directly as the Moon’s reflected light is not as bright. The Royal Observatory Greenwich said the next partial lunar eclipse will not be until August 2026.

And because there is no tax on personal income in Saudi, Adam can earn considerably more than he was in Britain. Fed up of life in London, Saudi - and the Middle East in general - gave Adam more opportunities, particularly in business. We were thinking about kids... and she didn’t want to raise kids in Saudi.

Although the exact details of her offense have not been made public, the life sentence represents a tragic and severe outcome for the young student with no prior record. However, her mother, Danielle McKenna, revealed that Mia had “got mixed up with the wrong so-called friends,” leading to the incident that resulted in her imprisonment. In this context, a life sentence typically equates to 15 years in prison. Language barriers, differing legal norms, and the lack of access to immediate legal support increase the risk of severe penalties. The Sun reported, Mia’s mother, Danielle McKenna, has launched a fundraising campaign to cover travel expenses, legal fees, and the costs associated with visiting Mia in prison.

AI imageInternet services across parts of Asia and the Middle East faced disruptions after undersea cables in the Red Sea were cut, experts said on Sunday.While concerns were raised over possible sabotage amid ongoing conflict in the region, it was not immediately clear what caused the incident, according to the news agency Associated Press.Microsoft said on its status page that the Middle East “may experience increased latency due to undersea fiber cuts in the Red Sea,” though internet traffic outside the region was not affected.NetBlocks, a global watchdog monitoring internet access, reported “a series of subsea cable outages in the Red Sea” had degraded connectivity in several countries, including India and Pakistan.It identified failures impacting the South East Asia–Middle East–Western Europe 4 (SMW4) and the India-Middle East-Western Europe (IMEWE) cable systems near Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.The SMW4 is run by Tata Communications, part of India’s Tata Group, while IMEWE is managed by a consortium overseen by Alcatel-Lucent. Both firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment, as per AP.Pakistan Telecommunications Co. Ltd. confirmed the cuts in a statement on Saturday. In the UAE, users of state-owned Du and Etisalat networks also complained of slower speeds, though authorities there and in Saudi Arabia did not comment.Submarine cables, a key part of global internet infrastructure, are vulnerable to ship anchors or deliberate attacks. Repairs typically take weeks, requiring specialised vessels to locate and fix the damage.The disruption comes as Yemen’s Houthi rebels continue attacks linked to the Israel-Hamas war. While speculation has grown about their role in targeting subsea infrastructure, the group has denied previous responsibility.On Sunday, the Houthis’ al-Masirah satellite channel acknowledged reports of the outages, citing NetBlocks, but did not claim involvement.From late 2023 through 2024, the Houthis struck over 100 ships in the Red Sea using missiles and drones, sinking four and killing at least eight mariners.Their campaign, which they frame as pressure on Israel over Gaza, has drawn retaliatory airstrikes.Earlier this year, Yemen’s internationally recognised government accused the Houthis of planning to attack cables, though the group denied it.

A British cardiologist suggested without evidence on Saturday that Covid-19 vaccines might have been a factor in the cancer suffered by members of the British royal family, drawing swift condemnation from the government, health experts and cancer support groups. The cardiologist, Dr. Aseem Malhotra, made the claim during a 20-minute speech at the annual conference of Reform U.K., the anti-immigration party led by Nigel Farage — which distanced itself from his remarks after they provoked an outcry. Speaking from the main stage at the party’s two-day event, Dr. Malhotra said on Saturday that he had been told by a professor of oncology that “he thinks it’s highly likely that the Covid vaccines have been a factor, a significant factor, in the cancer of members of the royal family.”The British government quickly denounced the claim as dangerous to public health. “When we are seeing falling numbers of parents getting their children vaccinated, and a resurgence of disease we had previously eradicated, it is shockingly irresponsible for Nigel Farage to give a platform to these poisonous lies,” the health secretary, Wes Streeting, said. “Farage should apologize and sever all ties with this dangerous extremism.”
