  • Oil Slump

    And blame — or credit — for the plummeting prices is falling squarely on Saudi Arabia.

  • U.S.-Afghanistan
    Why the end of Camp Leatherneck in Afghanistan matters

    On Sunday, the United States and Britain turned over control of Leatherneck and Bastion to the Afghan military they have been training for years. A few other major coalition installations in the country will remain, but the transition is one of the most dramatic milestones to date in the winding down of the Afghanistan War.

    Pentagon: ISIS campaign costing $8.3M per day

    The Pentagon on Monday raised its cost estimate of the war against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to $8.3 million per day. The new daily estimate would bring the total cost of the war, between Aug. 8 and Oct. 16, to $580 million, according to Reuters.

  • Camel Products
    Could your next burger be camel meat?

    Camel is not the easiest product to work with. As a meat, it tends to be lean and tough -- not the most amenable for hot dogs and burgers. The milk is also half the fat of cow's milk -- a quality that makes it ideal for the health conscious but less so when you're concocting a recipe for chocolate.

  • Iran Negotiations
    Endgame for Iran nuclear talks

    US officials, while not confirming the reports, have recently said there are multiple combinations of ways that Iran’s breakout time could be extended, and the focus should not only be on the centrifuge numbers in a deal. The goal, US officials said, should be a deal that closes off all possible pathways for Iran to make fissile material for a nuclear weapon, either through producing weapons-grade uranium, plutonium or through a covert facility. “We’re trying to shut down the four pathways to get enough nuclear material for a nuclear weapon,” a US official told journalists in Vienna Oct. 15. “There are a lot of ways you can do that. There’s no one right answer.”

  • Kobani
    Only Syrian opposition and peshmerga can save Kobani: Turkish PM

    Turkey cannot be expected to send troops to defend the besieged Syrian border town of Kobani and only Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters and Syria's own moderate opposition can save it, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said. U.S. warplanes have been bombing Islamic State positions near Kobani for weeks, but air strikes alone will not be enough to repel the insurgents, Davutoglu said.

  • Egypt
    Sisi gives Egypt military new powers after Sinai attack

    A spokesman said the new law gives the army the right to secure sites like power plants, main roads and bridges. But critics say it allows the army to return to the streets and bring back military trials for civilians. President Sisi declared a three-month state of emergency after the bomb attack in Sinai on Friday. The new decree allows state infrastructure to be defined as "military facilities" for two years, permitting the army to work with police to secure such sites.

  • Arab Film
    Arab road trip movie tackles stereotypes and taboos

    "I just take three young men - an Egyptian, a Saudi and a Syrian - who set off from Abu Dhabi on a trip to Beirut for New Year's Eve. Beirut is a party town but to get from the Gulf you have to cross Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria. These places just created their own stories, their own laughs."

  • Press Freedom
    Government will regulate video-sharing sites

    The Ministry of Culture and Information will soon regulate all video and image-sharing websites on the Internet to ensure they comply with the country's laws, an expert said here Sunday. Hamza Al-Ghubaishi, organizer of the Digital Visual Forum that concluded in Riyadh on Sunday, said the ministry's General Authority for Audio and Visual Media has been entrusted with this task.

  • Extremism
    Education plays key role in fight against extremism

    An overhaul of the educational system has become necessary amid reports that some deviant ideology is being taught in public schools, where books with objectionable content have been prescribed. This syllabus should also meet the needs of the Saudi markets in terms of providing decent jobs to young Saudis.
