Guinness World Records in Saudi Arabia's 'new whitewashing' ruse, and the 'largest multi-effect distillation desalination unit' and the 'largest dental hospital' are among the accolades cited for remarkable feats, including the 'largest multi-effect distillation desalination unit' and the "largest dental hospital."

Guinness World Records revealed ten new awards for the country this week, a decision that has been criticized by human rights organisations. Although statistics are generally interesting and unique, such as the longest beard on a living female and the most consecutive visits to Disneyland, Saudi Arabia's achievements are dull in comparison. The 'largest covered water reservoir for storing drinking water,' the'most comprehensive multi-effect distillation unit,' and the 'largest dental hospital were among the winners.' Out of the 223 awards that list Saudi Arabia as the location of the contest, 88 are standard applications or researched, while 135 are as a result of paid consultations, according to GWR.

Phillip Hancock, 59, is scheduled to die by three-drug lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Prison in McAlester at 10 a.m. on Thursday. This month, Oklahoma's Pardon and Parole Board voted 3-2 to elect Republican Gov. John Kerry. Kevin Stitt saved Hancock's life, but Stitt took no action on the suggestion by early Thursday morning. After the two men assaulted Robert Jett Jr., 37, and James Lynch, 58, in self-defense, Hancock has long claimed to have shot and killed him.

FIGHTER PREDICTIONS: The fight between Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira is fought in a big fight

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 7, 2023
Israel Adesanya may have lost all three fights with Alex Pereira, including kickboxing and MMA, but the betting favorite makes his way to UFC 287. Many believe he won their first battle and point to the fact that he was ahead in the upcoming two, before the tough Brazilian found the finishes he needed. And now UFC fighters are split on how the Miami match will be decided. Pereira's wealth and mental advantage over Adesanya could sway the opinion in his direction, but a fully motivated 'Stylebender' with the necessary experience and technique is a risky proposition.

Will the Bank of England hike interest rates this week?

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 20, 2023
This week, banking market turmoil has dampened expectations of a Bank of England interest rate rise, as investors consider the likelihood that the bank will instead opt for a halt rather than opt for a pause. Central banks around the world are now worried that economies will be more vulnerable to interest rate hikes and may not want to risk falling back into a stagnation cycle and more market turmoil even as inflation remains well above target.

Will falling inflation mean the Bank of England pauses its interest rate hikes?

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 16, 2023
Falling inflation has increased hopes that the Bank of England will bring an end to its interest rate boosting cycle, with some economists now predicting a cut by the end of 2023. According to Office of National Statistics results, UK CPI dropped 10.1% in January from 10.5% in December, with the decline owing to lower petrol and diesel prices, which was bolstered by lower petrol and diesel prices. If fresh inflation and labour market data ahead of the March Monetary Policy Committee's meeting indicate any further change, forecasters expect that the BoE's next hike will be the last for some time.

World Cup 2022: Just how many have died so Qatar can host this winter's tournament?

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 24, 2022
WORLD CUP 2022 INVESTIGATION BY NICK HARRIS: The Mail on Sunday revealed that the deaths of 2,823 foreigners of working age in Qatar have been unexplained – or 'unclassified' to use the term. We've asked the Qatari government how many of these people worked on development projects before 2022, such as roads, hotels, and transportation hubs that will be used by World Cup visitors, but we have no details. We are not saying that these deaths were linked to World Cup or work-related; instead, the number includes migrants from around the world working in various industries. As to whether the true number of work-related deaths on World Cup programmes is just three, the Supreme Committee insists - or thousands, as advocacy organizations such as Human Rights Watch have stated, serious concerns remain unanswered. The Mail on Sunday has published hundreds of case studies involving migrant workers who died on infrastructure projects since 2011 - revealing their personal information and the causes of their death for the first time.
