Noor Riyadh Celebrates Light Art Festival Amidst Middle East Tensions and Global Diplomatic Moves

Noor Riyadh launches "A New Visual Culture" coffee-table book, celebrating the fusion of tradition and modernity in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030.
Noor Riyadh has unveiled its first coffee-table book, "Noor Riyadh: A New Visual Culture," celebrating the world's largest light art festival and the fusion of tradition and modernity, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030.

Meanwhile, tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, as an Israeli airstrike in Kafra on October 11 resulted in the death of two Lebanese soldiers, marking yet another incident in the ongoing conflict along the Lebanon-Israel border.

Turning to diplomatic ties, King Charles is set to host the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, in the UK to bolster partnerships in education, business, and energy, reflecting the strong bilateral relations between the two nations.

On the climate front, a meeting in Azerbaijan ahead of COP29 hit a stalemate, highlighting the challenges of securing climate finance for developing nations, as countries failed to reach consensus on necessary funding.

In Europe, the European Court of Human Rights has exposed Cyprus' asylum policy violations by ruling against the forced return of two Syrian refugees, a decision that underscores ongoing criticism of Cyprus' migration practices.

Finally, the UK is investigating 37 firms for possibly circumventing Russian oil sanctions, a move that has been critiqued for its effectiveness amidst concerns about complex regulations and potential economic impacts.
