Kuwait's Emir Sheikh Mishal al-Ahmad al-Sabah dissolved parliament, assuming its responsibilities and suspending specific constitutional articles for up to four years. In a candid address, he highlighted rampant corruption within state institutions and emphasised the urgency of addressing pervasive challenges. This decision follows the first elections under his leadership, amid persistent conflicts between the National Assembly and the cabinet, hindering reforms to reduce oil dependency. Resistance from politicians during a scheduled parliamentary meeting underscores ongoing power struggle. The move, termed historic by analysts, reflects the enduring dominance of the Al-Sabah family despite Kuwait's parliamentary system.

A Moroccan asylum seeker has been sentenced to life in jail for murder, with a minimum term of 45 years, at Teesside Crown Court. In October last year, 45-year-old Ahmed Alid stabbed Iranian Christian convert Javed Nouri at the house he was sharing with other asylum seekers before looking for more victims in Hartlepool town centre. He then stabbed and killed 70-year-old Terence Carney who was out for his regular early morning walk. Alid told police he had committed his crimes out of “revenge” for Israel killing children in the Palestinian conflict. Report by Jonesia.
