Saudi Arabia Allows Alcohol Sale To Non-Muslim Residents. But There's One Condition

Saudi Arabia Allows Alcohol Sale To Non-Muslim Residents. But There's One Condition

Saudi Arabia has taken additional steps to loosen restrictions on alcohol sales by allowing non-Muslim foreign residents earning 50,000 riyals ($13,300) or more per month to purchase liquor, according to people familiar with the matter. Eligible residents are required to present a salary certificate to enter the kingdom’s only liquor outlet, located in Riyadh. The sources, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue, said the store was opened last year for foreign diplomats and has now extended access to non-Muslims with “premium residency” status. No Official Confirmation Yet There has been no formal government announcement regarding the move, and authorities did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday. Monthly Point-Based Limits For Buyers Customers are allowed to make purchases through a monthly, point-based allocation system, the people said. Additional liquor stores are being constructed in two other cities, Bloomberg has previously reported. Reform Push Behind Gradual Policy Shift The slow easing of alcohol regulations aligns with broader efforts to relax social restrictions and make Riyadh a more competitive centre for business and investment. Saudi Arabia has identified attracting foreign talent and capital as a key pillar of its economic transformation. Broader Changes In Saudi Society In recent years, the kingdom has ended the ban on women driving, permitted public entertainment and live music, allowed gender mixing in public settings, and promoted tourism. The pace of reform highlights the sensitivity of modernising a country that is both the birthplace of Islam and home to its two holiest sites.

Israeli Forces Raid UNRWA HQ In Jerusalem, Replace UN Flag In Major Escalation

Israeli Forces Raid UNRWA HQ In Jerusalem, Replace UN Flag In Major Escalation

Tel Aviv [Israel], December 9: Israeli forces raided the headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in occupied East Jerusalem, seizing items and replacing the UN flag with Israel's flag. In a statement on X, the agency's Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini, said Israeli police, accompanied by municipal officials, forcibly entered its compound in Sheikh Jarrah early on Monday morning. "Police motorcycles, as well as trucks and forklifts, were brought in and all communications were cut. Furniture, IT equipment and other property was seized," he said. "The UN flag was pulled down and replaced with an Israeli flag." UNRWA has not used the building since the beginning of the year after Israeli authorities ordered the agency to vacate all of its premises and halt operations inside Israel. Lazzarini said this follows "months of harassment that included arson attacks in 2024, hateful demonstrations and intimidation, supported by a large-scale disinformation campaign, as well as anti-UNRWA legislation passed by the Israeli parliament in breach of its international obligations". Israel barred UNRWA from operating on its soil after claiming some employees had participated in the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023. UNRWA denied the allegations, while in October the International Court of Justice (ICJ) found that Israel's allegations against UNRWA were unsubstantiated, as per Al Jazeera. Still, Israel's claims prompted the United States, historically UNRWA's largest donor, to suspend funding. UNRWA was forced to repatriate its international staff from Gaza and the occupied West Bank, severely limiting aid distribution at a time when Palestinians are facing extreme shortages of food and shelter, as per Al Jazeera. In October, the ICJ issued an advisory opinion reaffirming Israel's legal obligation to support UN relief efforts in Gaza, including those carried out by UNRWA, and to cooperate with UN agencies operating in the occupied territories. Lazzarini condemned the latest attack on UNRWA as a direct violation of international law, saying it showed "a blatant disregard of Israel's obligation as a United Nations Member State to protect & respect the inviolability of UN premises," Al Jazeera quoted. While Israel has attempted to strip the compound of its UN status, Lazzarini said its actions have no legal effect.  (This report has been published as part of an auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

Tata Sierra Cabin Space Review: How Does It Compare With Rivals?

Tata Sierra Cabin Space Review: How Does It Compare With Rivals?

One of the most important factors while buying a new car is space and in the compact SUV segment, it is even more important. The Sierra is based on a new platform and competes with a long list of rivals including the ever popular Hyundai Creta. In terms of the front seats, we found the cushioning to be perfect in being not too soft or very hard while the extendable thigh support comes in handy. The extendable under thigh support is something not seen on other cars too in this segment. Rear Seat Experience The all important rear seat starts off well with easy egress and ingress along with doors that open wide. The rear seats are comfortable enough for three passengers although the middle seat is a bit narrow. Few important details have been retained like the inclusion of a middle seat headrest which you don't find in other Tata Motors cars. There is good legroom and headroom is also good despite a full length panoramic sunroof. The light colour for the upholstery also helps matters in terms of making it an airy cabin. There is a boss mode which is manual but works quickly in moving the front passenger seat forward along with sun blinds plus a recline for the backrest. There are AC vents here and fold down armrest too plus USB ports. Storage space is also ample and that has been corrected from other Tata Motors cars including adding cup holders too. Verdict on Space Overall, in terms of space the Sierra meets the class standards with some much needed changes from other Tata Motors cars.

Thailand Vs Indian Currency: Earning 1 Lakh In Thailand? Know Its Worth In India

Thailand, long hailed as a global tourism hotspot, is once again dominating headlines—for its famed beaches, nightlife, or temples. The development has brought renewed focus to a destination that remains consistently popular among Indian travelers. Exchange Rate Underscores Baht’s Strength Despite the controversy, Thailand’s appeal among Indians remains undiminished. Millions continue to choose the country for its affordability, culture, cuisine, and accessibility. Yet one factor often surprises travelers: the Thai baht’s strength against the Indian rupee. According to Vice.com, one Thai baht is valued at about 2.83 Indian rupees. The difference becomes especially apparent when comparing incomes and purchasing power. For example, an Indian earning 100,000 rupees while living in Thailand would find that amount equivalent to roughly 282,000 rupees back home. On the other hand, carrying 100,000 rupees into Thailand would convert to around 35,376 baht, highlighting just how much stronger the Thai currency is relative to the rupee. Understanding Baht: Thailand’s Trusted Currency Thailand’s official currency, the baht, is divided into one hundred satang and is overseen by the Bank of Thailand. Seasoned travelers recommend exchanging a small amount of baht before landing to handle essential expenses like transport, meals, or SIM cards. Additional exchanges can then be made at local banks or kiosks, which often offer more favorable rates. Tourism Ties Between India and Thailand Continue To Grow Despite sporadic incidents involving Indian visitors, bilateral tourism remains robust. In 2024 alone, nearly 2.1 million Indians visited Thailand, ranking India as the country’s largest tourist source after China and Malaysia. This steady influx provides a substantial boost to Thailand’s tourism-driven economy, strengthening people-to-people connections and ensuring that Thailand remains one of the most preferred international destinations for Indian travelers.
