Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Bin Salman not expected to attend the Queen’s funeral

After days of speculation, it is now believed the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Bin Salman will not attend the Queen’s funeral service.

The decision follows growing backlash and comes as world leaders and dignitaries from around the globe descend on the UK for the historic event. A source told Reuters the call was made by the Saudis.

Human rights organisations were appalled Mohammed Bin Salman, known as MBS, may be in attendance given the allegations which hang over his head.

MBS is accused of ordering the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018, allegations he firmly denies.

The royal hasn’t returned to Britain since the death of Khashoggi and tensions remain high.

Sources close to the Saudi Embassy say the Crown Prince will still visit London this weekend.

The UK’s Foreign Office says Prince Turki al-Faisal, another senior Saudi royal, is expected to go instead.

Human rights groups say the invitation to Mohammed Bin Salman is appalling. They argue it represents a “whitewashing” of a questionable human rights record.

Meanwhile, invites sent to Chinese dignitaries have also sparked controversy.  This is largely due to Beijing’s treatment of Muslim Uyghurs in the Xinjiang province.

China has confirmed it will send Vice-President, Wang Qishan, to pay respects on behalf of the nation.

Boston Dynamics’ electric marvel or robot contortionist?

Published

on

Boston Dynamics has recently unveiled its latest creation, the electric Atlas robot, boasting enhanced agility and strength.

However, with its uncanny ability to contort and rise from the ground with an almost eerie grace, one might wonder if we’re witnessing the birth of the world’s first robot contortionist.

As this technological marvel flaunts its capabilities, one can’t help but ponder if we’re on the brink of a future where household chores will be effortlessly handled by robots moving like a fusion of ballet dancers and horror movie monsters.

With its cadaver-like movements and illuminated head, it’s hard not to speculate whether Atlas is destined to revolutionise robotics or simply rehearsing for a techno-horror rendition of The Nutcracker. As Boston Dynamics continues to push the boundaries of robotics, the line between science fiction and reality becomes increasingly blurred.

As the morning sun peeks through the curtains, many reach for that familiar brew, kickstarting their day with a comforting cup of coffee.

It’s a ritual ingrained in cultures worldwide, offering a jolt of energy to combat the grogginess of dawn.

But when is the optimal time for that caffeine fix? According to registered dietitian Anthony DiMarino, RD, LD, the answer isn’t crystal clear.

Some experts suggest delaying that first sip until mid-morning or later. However, DiMarino reassures coffee lovers that there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this dilemma.

Meanwhile, the science behind coffee production unveils fascinating insights into its instant variant. Whether produced through freeze-drying or spray-drying methods, instant coffee offers convenience without sacrificing flavor.

Yet, beyond convenience, recent studies delve deeper into coffee’s impact on our bodies. Research exploring the acute effects of decaffeinated versus caffeinated coffee reveals intriguing findings on reaction time, mood, and skeletal muscle strength.

Moreover, investigations into the gut microbiome shed light on coffee’s influence on liver cirrhosis patients. A study analyzing the duodenal microbiome in this population found correlations between coffee consumption and microbial richness and evenness.

So, as you sip your coffee and ponder the day ahead, consider not just the flavour in your cup but also the subtle impacts it may have on your body and mind.
