In Episode 39, co-hosts Dr. Hanaa Almoaibed and Lucien Zeigler are joined by Dina Amin, CEO of Saudi Arabia's Visual Arts Commission to talk about how Saudi Arabia is developing homegrown artistic talent and the work she's doing in building an art ecosystem from the ground-up. The Visual Arts Commission, as part of the Ministry of Culture, is tasked with ensuring Saudi Arabia develops into a vibrant creative community - and in appointing Dina in 2020 - are already full speed ahead. Dina spent over two decades in the space as part of Christie's and other art houses around the world, and brought her energy and deep experiences from New York, London and Dubai to the role. With year-round events and activities now happening in Saudi Arabia, and a concerted effort to develop and foster local artists, Saudi Arabia is now emerging as a force on the global arts scene. Before the conversation, Lucien and Hanaa catch up on the Holiday season, Lucien's forthcoming annual move to Riyadh, and an interesting find Dr. Hanaa made recently in her home town of Al-Khobar, where she is spending the holiday season. Hanaa also gives us her review of Riyadh's new metro, which she rode this week for the first time. After the conversation with Dina, Lucien and Hanaa catch up on the latest news, including a British broadcaster's planned walk across Saudi Arabia, a big dig project at Diriyah, Saudi Arabia's efforts to become a producer of batteries, and a discussion about the status of job creation in Saudi Arabia.

After an enforced and agonising seven-week gap in the 2024 calendar Formula E is back this weekend with the second Sao Paulo EPrix. Andrew van de Burgt is on feisty form as he questions some of the ‘noise' generated in the intervening period since the Diriyah races in January, while Sam Smith reports from a visit to NEOM McLaren where he chats to team principal Ian James. The recent episode of The Apprentice is mulled over by Van de Burgt who is unflinching in his assessment of what he believed was a major lost opportunity for Formula E. The pair also discuss if Sao Paulo will see the first true energy saving race of the season and how both Mitch Evans and Antonio Felix da Costa can properly kick-start their tough seasons so far.

The trio discuss what made the event so difficult and what could be done in the future to make track conditions more conducive to racing. Topics such as Mitch Evans' eventful Friday race, Pascal Wehrlein's damage limitation exercises, surprises from Sergio Sette Camara and Jehan Daruvala, and the worrying form from Antonio Felix da Costa, are also covered off.

When Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab gained the patronage of Muhammad Ibn Saud, it was a fusing of ideology with power on the Arabian peninsula. This was the time when Wahhabism really took shape, and the militancy of Ibn Abdul Wahhab's mission became clear. As the Emirate of Diriyah expanded, war and conquest against the Ottomans came with it, as they sought to dominate Arabia with their new radical doctrine. Join us as we explore the second half of Ibn Abdul Wahhab's life, to discover how these thrilling events of the 18th century with secured the legacy of Ibn Abdul Wahhab as a militant mujaddid whose teachings would live on through the centuries, still held onto by salafi jihadists to this day.

A Podcast of two halves on this one. In the first half of the show, we discuss a bit of F1 catchup, with Red Bull announcing a tie-up with Ford with their 2026 power-units as Red Bull Ford Powertrains was born. But also FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem's pretty awful month. In 3 weeks the man was called out for sexist comments from 2001, alienated the current teams further with comments about protecting the sport itself if the Saudi's truly bid "$20bn" for it, and pushing for Andretti to get into F1 as early as 2025... and now he's stepping back from the day-to-day running of the sport. What does it mean, and where do we sit on it? In the second half, we get into the Double header of Formula E races in Diriyah as Porsche continued their run of dominance. Only this time it was Wehrlein at the front as he dominated both races to flip the script on Mexico City, with Jake Dennis following him home both times to make it three Wehrlein-Dennis 1-2's since the season began. We also discuss Sam Bird's up and down weekend by getting back on the podium and Rene Rast bringing McLaren's first podium of the season too. Mitch Evans had a wild weekend too! Oh and most importantly... What the hell is going on with the DS Powertrain teams?! All that and more on the next Motorsport101!

In the 87th edition of the FEZ Show, Jack Giordmaina, Jack Pickering and special guest Joshua Burch reflect on the double header in Saudi Arabia, in which Pascal Wehrlein beat Jake Dennis to victory two days in a row to snatch the championship lead, Sam Bird and Rene Rast were back on podium, and Sebastien Buemi took his first pole position in three seasons, before Jake Hughes took his first ever FE pole. Meanwhile DS Penske, Maserati and Mahindra struggled. The trio also previews what to expect from the inaugural Hyderabad E-Prix in India this Saturday.

In this episode of the Mayman Show emerging from Diriyah the City of Earth, for the Diriyah E-Prix, get to know team Avalanche Andretti's rising star Jake Dennis and his rise to the top of the race of the future.

Our host trio also discuss a tremendous cameo performance from Dan Ticktum, as well as the continuing disappointing of the DS Penske squad and an erratic showing from their Stellantis stablemates at Maserati MSG. Ticktum, Rene Rast and Sebastien Modlinger make talking head appearances to mull over their weekend's in Saudi Arabia.

These include rendering a driving license, insurance documentation, passport inquiries and requests, a digital wallet approved by government agencies, charitable donations, data correction, and information verification.•US removes Saudi Arabia from intellectual property protection concern list, a big win for the Kingdom...According to a report in Arab News, The Office of the United States Trade Representative has taken the Kingdom off its Priority Watch List in its annual Special 301 Report, after Saudi Arabia tightened up its IP enforcement procedures.•Video asking Saudis not to offer census takers coffee sparks pride in hospitalityA public service advert from Saudi Arabian authorities asking residents not to invite census takers into their homes for coffee is proving a hit with the public, according to a report in The National. The video, released by the Saudi General Authority for Statistics, has been viewed almost 800,000 times since its release earlier this week. The Saudi census starts on May 10, the first since 2010. Before that, the official census took place in 2004, 1992 and 1974. Authorities are expecting to record a big increase in the population. The 2010 census recorded a population of 27,136,977, while a preliminary estimate in mid-2020 was just over 35,000,000.•Number of Saudi universities rises to 22 in UK Times Higher Education's Impact RankingsThe number of the Saudi universities jumped to 22 universities in the UK Times Higher Education (THE)'s Impact Rankings in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for the year 2022, Zawya reports. Three Saudi universities were included in 2019; increasing to 5 universities in 2020. In 2021, the number was increased to 12 universities, and it reached 22 universities this year.•Cash-strapped Pakistan gets $8 billion in financial support from Saudi Arabia, a significant lifeline...According to the Economic Times, during the recent visit of Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, Saudi Arabia has agreed to provide Pakistan with a "sizeable package" of around USD 8 billion to help the cash-starved country bolster dwindling forex reserves and revive its ailing economy. It was also agreed that the existing deposits of USD 3 billion would be rolled over for an extended period of up to June 2023, according to an official.•Diriyah in Saudi Arabia will be home to Armani Hotels & Resorts' first Saudi Arabian outpost Giorgio Armani has decided to open a new hotel—the company's third in the world in the city of Diriyah, home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site and located near the Saudi capital of Riyadh. According to Architectural Digest, overlooking Diriyah's luxury shopping and hospitality district, the hotel will include approximately 70 luxuriously appointed suites plus two restaurants and a spa with a swimming pool, which offers a variety of wellness and relaxation experiences.

1:29 - Richard's one big thing this week in Saudi Arabia is an update to Saudi Arabia's founding story as the Kingdom celebrated its Founding Day on February 22. Earlier this year, the government announced the new holiday will be celebrated with a day off for both public and private sector workers, and released a vintage-looking logo used to mark the event.The Saudi English-daily Arab News features a fascinating report on how historians and experts in the Kingdom worked to reveal the actual founding day as 17 years off from previous recording, instead using the first date of Bin Saud's first day as ruler of Diryiah, in what is now modern-day Riyadh, instead of his alliance with Sheikh Mohammed ibn Abdulwahhab.“There is no doubt that the events of 1744, the year in which Imam Mohammed ibn Saud of Diriyah offered sanctuary to the religious reformer Sheikh Mohammed ibn Abdulwahhab, were hugely significant….But over time the importance of that admittedly historic moment of common cause between state and faith came to obscure the far more complex and deeper-rooted origins of the First Saudi State…“It is to correct this neglect of the Kingdom's crucial embryonic years that Founding Day has been created, to celebrate 1727 as the true moment of birth and to give Saudis a deeper appreciation of a past far richer than many realize.”“The theoretical effort of “laying the foundation” for Founding Day is crucial to building states, cementing identity, and enlightening society. The Saudi identity is coherent, modernist, and developed; and like identities throughout history and across the globe, it must be reimagined and reestablished constantly, especially during transitional, historic periods. Today in Saudi Arabia, this effort takes the form of Vision 2030.”11:43 - Lucien's one big thing in Saudi Arabia this week is a look at the oil market and Saudi oil exports as the Russian invasion in Ukraine rages. Where is Saudi Arabia's oil going now, and what's next for energy markets? With oil now headed over $100 a barrel on Brent and possibly even higher as the situation in Ukraine deteriorates, Washington is already in close coordination with Saudi Arabia on energy markets.Russia of course is a big player in the oil markets - making up the "plus" in the new market-setting cartel "OPEC+," which adds a layer of complexity to the crisis in Ukraine and as as sanctions against Russia start to ratchet up, although the West is not sanctioning the Russian oil sector yet. But much of Saudi Arabia's oil now heads to Asia - in fact in 2021, 80% of Saudi crude headed to Asia, with China as the leading consumer. The top four destinations for Saudi crude are China, Japan, South Korea and India. Recent data show that US was again the only non-Asian importer of Saudi oil to make the top five, but the amount the U.S. imported from Saudi Arabia decreased from 407,000 b/d in 2020 to 376,000 b/d in 2021.  This is the lowest in 36 years.Saudi exports to European markets also dropped in 2021. 39:58 - Yallah! Six storylines in Saudi Arabia from the week to get you updated heading into the weekend.•Expo 2020 in Dubai is not just jaw-dropping national pavilions and entertainment. Governments and global leaders convened this week at the Dubai Exhibition Centre at Expo 2020 for the Food, Agriculture and Livelihoods Business Forum. New Zealand, which is recognized globally as one of the most progressive agricultural and aqua-cultural nations – its food sector feeds around 40 million global consumers each year, eight times its population – is New Zealand is taking the lead on the forum that will address the urgent need to transform the world's food and agricultural systems to feed 10 billion people by 2050, within environmental limits. •It was a historic day for Saudi Arabia as the women's national football team played, and won, its first official international match on Sunday. The Saudi squad traveled to the Maldives to beat the Seychelles 2-0 in a friendly which comes just a month after the final team was named. It will now face the Maldives in its second match today. The team was congratulated by Brazilian soccer legend Pelé, who called it a "historic day."•Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said that Lebanon must offer stronger signals that it is serious about reform to secure support from the international community as it struggles with a financial crisis. “Lebanon first needs to be actively saving itself… We need a stronger signal from the Lebanese body politic that they are going to step up.”  He said this included stabilizing the economy and addressing issues of corruption and mismanagement as well as “regional interference and loss of state sovereignty.”•To mark World Radio Day, the Saudi Broadcasting Authority recently launched Al-Ekhbariya Radio, the first news radio station in Saudi Arabia. The station will have a network of 85 correspondents and will focus 80% of its programming on local news with the remainder focused on Arab and international news. Station director Mubarak Al-Ati said, “Launching the station is in the interest of the Saudi media renaissance to keep pace with the developments the kingdom is undergoing at all levels. Saudi media will continue to advance in service of the kingdom's leadership and people.” •Arab News recently reported that the government has not yet decided to integrate it innovative Tawakkalna application with the Absher platform. The Absher app was introduced in 2015 by the Ministry of Interior and is the leading e-services platform in Saudi Arabia. It served 23 million users who carried out more than 85 million operations in 2021.  Tawakkalna was launched in 2020 by the Ministry of Health and is mandatory for all people in the country to enter worksites, shops, and malls. It also has more than 23 million users and last year was selected among the top applications in the e-health category by World Summit on the Information Society Prizes.•Leading Saudi soccer clubs Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal have each signed long-term strategic partnerships with the investment vehicle of Qiddiya, the new entertainment district near Riyadh which plans to build a new 40,000-seat, cliff-top stadium for the two Riyadh-based clubs. Likewise, the PIF-owned Central Jeddah Development Company has also signed deals with two other top clubs Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli for the same annual amount of $26.6 million and the same duration – until 2042.

Welcome back to Formula E everyone! And now, with added Children's Card Games, because it's time to Duel! Formula E's new controversial Duel Format took centre stage on Friday as part of the series revamp and trying to create a more competitively balanced series… Did it work? We'd like to think so, but it might have also created other problems we discuss in the show regarding entertainment value. We also spoke about the Alexander Sims crash in Race 2 and the awkward recovery that came with it as a tractor, a big ol' queue, and a Safety Car under yellow. We discuss the incident itself, some of the safety related backlash on social media, and why it might be unfair to pin all the blame on Race Direction (Given that seems to be the wave at the moment.) We also take a look at the state of play of the current field and how the entertainment and craziness within the series might actually be fading away with the moves the series has made. Do we actually want the Mercedes powered cars to run away with it? Is a more restrained Formula E a better Formula E? We discuss it all on Motorsport101!

Welcome to episode 5 of the Lovecars On The Grid Podcast! Our second season is back, with Tiff Needell and Paul Woodman giving you a roundup of the motorsport events from the past week! We kick off with the Formula 1 and the FIA! The issue that happened at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is still ongoing! Why is this report taking so long to come out? How long will this continue? Still, there are no comments from Lewis Hamilton or Max Verstappen on the subject. Elsewhere in the FIA, they've crowned the first Winners of the WRC Talent Search, crowning Romet Jurgenson winning a season drive in an M-Sport Rally3 Ford Fiesta. We love to see these academies bringing through the young drivers with talent! Looking at the teams, Red Bull look to be continuing their relationship with engine manufacturer, Honda. The FIA are making Covid-19 jabs mandatory in Formula 1. The Formula E started their 2021/2022 Championship in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. The Win went to Mercedes with their driver, Nyck de Vries. The Daytona 24H took place this weekend too, with lots of cars in different classes to watch, including 30 British drivers on the grid! Helio Castroneves, Tom Blomqvist, Oliver Jarvis and Simon Pagenaud shared the win for Meyer Shank Racing, which was an emotional win, as it's the first win for 10 years! There was also an epic Porsche battle! Coming up next week, we still have the younger drivers out in the FormulaE UAE and Formula Region Asia series'. We also have NASCAR kicking off, along with the Autosport Awards, too! If you've got any questions you'd like to ask Tiff for next week, make sure you ask them in the comments!

(Yes, we know it's a little late, come laugh at our picks at the end instead!) We're about to get into the meat and potatoes of the 2022 Motorsport season, and to bring us up to speed, we're getting into Formula E's 8th season, and 2nd as a World Championship. We discuss the new qualifying format, and how the Groups and Super Bowl format got thrown out for a new, “Duel” system that involves a knockout tournament. We also talk about the newly revamped calendar with some double headers to chuck in there like Diriyah and Seoul! We also go through the teams and preview their chances going into the new season. New debutants such as Antonio Giovinazzi, Dan Ticktum and Oliver Askew. We talk about some of the reshuffles that teams have had, such as Avalanche in life after BMW, or DS Techeetah after a year of relative turmoil. Or Porsche, with renewed focus in their management. And we even make picks as to who we think wins the Championships. Do we go with Mercs as they enter their Last Dance with Nyck and Stoffel? Or maybe Jaguar with Evans and newly extended Bird? Could it be Porsche with Wehrlein or Lotterer? Or even the Venturi team with Mortara or Lucas Di Grassi? Find out in our Season Preview for Formula E, Season 8!

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Wednesday 19th January. It's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they've built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It's a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. Welcome to a new Patreon Producer JOHN DYSON PODCAST RECOMMENDATION: HOW VOLKSWAGEN IS REINVENTING ITSELF AS AN EV COMPANY - How Volkswagen can reinvent itself as an EV company, with CEO Herbert Diess - Volkswagen is one of the two biggest carmakers in the world — there's a battle every year between VW and Toyota for the top spot; they both sell around 10 million cars a year. - Herbert oversees a huge range of familiar car brands: VW, of course, but also Audi, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Bentley, as well as Skoda and Seat in Europe. A recent management shuffle also put him directly in charge of Volkswagen's software subsidiary, which is called CARIAD, and, of course, he's in charge of VW's aggressive efforts to electrify its lineup and shift all its cars to being EVs. - Herbert and I talked about all of that and the overall transition to EVs, including VW's new EV microbus, which is very cool. We also talked about how a company like Volkswagen can move as quickly as smaller competitors like Tesla.

Ford invested $500 million in Rivian in 2019 -- building that to $1.2 billion in the following years -- and has a total stake of around 12% in the Irvine, California-based EV group. Original Source : https://www.thestreet.com/markets/ford-stock-jumps-on-8-2-billion-q4-gain-from-rivian-investment GM RECEIVES TAX ABATEMENT FOR POTENTIAL $1.3 BILLION ORION INVESTMENT - Orion Township officials on Tuesday approved a tax abatement for a proposed $1.3 billion investment by General Motors Co. to build electric vehicles at its Orion Assembly plant in Lake Orion. - GM requested the maximum period permitted for the tax abatement: 12 years, plus three years during the construction phase for the investment, which is expected to lead to the creation or retention of 2,000 jobs, GM said in its tax abatement application, which The Detroit News previously obtained. - Sources previously told The News GM plans to use the plant to build electric trucks based on its new Ultium battery-electric platform. The recalled Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV are currently assembled there, but production is down through February as GM prioritizes battery module replacements for the recalled Bolts. - How much GM will save from the abatement is not yet known - GM is also looking to invest billions in Delta Township near Lansing for a battery cell manufacturing plant it's proposing to build there with battery partner LG Energy Solution. GM also applied to receive local and state tax breaks for that project.

The vehicle was owned by a longtime car enthusiast who currently owns a Tesla Model S Plaid, a Porsche Taycan Turbo S, and several other supercars. In a walkthrough of the vehicle, the Lucid owner highlighted several of the features he is fond of in the Air, such as its tactile controls, as well as some things he wishes were improved, such as its software and audio system. - With Launch Mode enabled, the Air attacked the quarter-mile without hesitation. Ultimately, the first test of the Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance showed that the vehicle showcased a 0-60 mph time of 2.93 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 10.21 seconds. The vehicle's trap speed was also very impressive at 143.37 mph. - In its third test, for example, the all-electric luxury sedan's 0-60 mph dropped to 2.88 seconds, which is closer to the 2.5 seconds estimated by Lucid. Original Source : https://www.teslarati.com/lucid-air-dream-edition-0-60-mph-quarter-mile-test-video/ PORSCHE TAYCAN SELECTED AS FORMULA E SAFETY CAR FOR SEASON 8 - The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has selected the all-electric Porsche Taycan as its official Safety Car for season 8. The new SC is set to make its formal debut at the opening round of the Formula E season later this month in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. - “Formula E is delighted the Porsche Taycan Turbo S will serve as the championship's Safety Car from Season 8,” says Jamie Reigle, CEO of Formula E. “The Porsche Taycan Turbo S is the pinnacle of high performance electrified vehicles and will light up Formula E city racetracks around the world.” - Porsche Taycan SCs are fitted with highly visible light bars and the necessary toggles and switches in the cabin to operate them properly. - Mechanically, however, the Formula E Porsche Taycan seems to be almost stock.

Using a Ford Transit van as the basis of the concept, Winnebago and its powertrain partner, Lightning eMotors, swapped in an an electric motor and an 86.0-kWh battery pack. - While Winnebago did not release an estimated horsepower rating for the e-RV camper van concept, it did say that estimated driving range would be 125 miles per charge, which is significantly shorter than today's EV passenger vehicles. But the Winnebago has a bed, a kitchenette, and wet bath with a shower, all home-style amenities you won't find in a Tesla. - For right now, the e-RV is merely a concept and Winnebago says that as battery technology evolves there's a potential for additional range. The e-RV concept has an onboard charger that is capable of juicing the battery at an owner's home, at public high-speed charging ports, or while plugged into shore power at a campground. According to Winnebago, the e-RV can charge up in about 45 minutes using a high-speed public charging station.

Los Angeles County prosecutors filed the charges in October, but they came to light only last week. - The criminal charges aren't the first involving an automated driving system, but they are the first to involve a widely used driver technology. - In the Tesla crash, police said a Model S was moving at a high speed when it left a freeway and ran a red light in the Los Angeles suburb of Gardena and struck a Honda Civic - NHTSA added that all state laws hold human drivers responsible for operation of their vehicles. Though automated systems can help drivers avoid crashes, the agency said, the technology must be used responsibly.

On January 28, 2022, the 2021/2022 Formula E season will kick off from the Riyadh Street Circuit in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. From then the racing bursts into life once again in the electronic class. A few things have changed this year compared to the 2020/2021 season. We go through all the changes with you and look ahead to the upcoming season. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gpfansglobal/message

Op 28 januari 2022 wordt het Formule E-seizoen van 2021/2022 afgetrapt vanaf het Riyadh Street Circuit in Diriyah, Saoedi-Arabië. Vanaf dan barst het racegeweld weer los in de elektronische klasse. Dit jaar is er het één en ander veranderd ten opzichte van het seizoen van 2020/2021. We nemen alle veranderingen met je door én blikken vooruit op het aanstaande seizoen.

The hosts kick off each each with their “one big interesting thing this week in Saudi Arabia.” Richard highlights a forthcoming conversation The 966 has with energy expert Kate Dourian and discusses dwindling new oil supplies coming on-line in 2021. Lucien notes that, while not a done deal, a PIF takeover of Inter Milan would be a big deal for Saudi Arabia's global sports ambitions and would be a strong blue chip global football brand to add to the powerful investment fund's portfolio. Chris Johnson weighs in on both of these topics before the group discusses Nitaqat, a concerning letter from the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, and then discuss Chris's work in Riyadh with MECACC and as a lawyer navigating the Kingdom's changing legal landscape.2:00 – Oil and gas firms are having “their worst year for new fossil fuel discoveries in decades and reserves are dwindling. The oil and gas industry is on track to discover just 4.7 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) by the end of 2021, its worst performance in 75 years, according to the research firm Rystad Energy,” Quartz reports. Richard discusses the implications of this news and highlight a forthcoming interview the hosts have publishing on Monday with energy expert Kate Dourian.8:25 – Saudi Arabia's PIF is reportedly close to acquiring another major European soccer team. The PIF is reportedly looking to buy a controlling stake in Inter Milan for an estimated $1 billion, and of course if it goes through, would be the second major soccer club in the PIF portfolio, having recently closed its deal to buy Newcastle United. The club's got some money problems. An IBT report this week said it was losing $15 million bucks a month, and has had to sell off some of its star players recently. Currently owned by the Suning Holdings Group Co., Ltd, a private Chinese company, the club was founded in 1908 and since its debut in 1909, Inter is the only Italian team to have always competed in the top flight of Italian football.13:00 -Nitaqat, also known as Saudization, is a policy in Saudi Arabia aimed at increasing Saudi citizen participation in the workforce – especially the private sector workforce. The policy dates back to 2011 and over the last decade has grown into a series of policies aimed at reforming the country's labor market and lowering the Kingdom's chronically high unemployment rates and also increasing female employment.Nitaqat uses a rating system which classifies companies into four zones; platinum, green, yellow and red. Nitaqat requires employers in the private sector with over nine employees to hire a certain percentage of Saudi nationals, depending on the company's industry and the number of employees in the company. Companies with less than 10 employees are exempt from the zoning system, but are still required to hire at least one Saudi national.December 1st, the latest version of the Nitaqat program comes in effect and contains several new features, and has a goal of creating 340,000 jobs by 2024 as well as simplifying the compliance rules for businesses.The hosts discuss: how is Nitaqat going?25:52 – The environment for U.S. business in Saudi Arabia. Per a Bloomberg report in November, The U.S. embassy in Riyadh criticized Saudi Arabia's tax authorities and warned that disputes with foreign companies risk discouraging investment in the country. “Numerous multinational enterprises” operating in Saudi Arabia “have experienced tax issues exhibiting a lack of transparency, consistency and due process compared to what they have come to expect from other nations,” the U.S. embassy in Riyadh said in a letter to the Saudi Ministry of Investment.The hosts unpack this challenge to securing additional foreign investment and discuss the current business climate in Saudi Arabia.39:37 – The hosts ask Chris Johnson about his work in Riyadh as an attorney. Mr. Johnson also publishes the Saudi Business Continuity updates for Sharif Law, and discuss his work with the AmCham Saudi Arabia (once ABGR) as well as his efforts with the MECACC and the latest Door Knock.52:10 – ‘Yallah,' The 966 podcast's finish which includes a range of quick-hit topics to get you up to speed on more going on in Saudi Arabia before the weekend. The hosts and Chris Johnson react to, and discuss, each one. The topics this week:•Saudi Arabia has reintroduced mandatory wearing of face masks and maintaining social distancing indoors and outdoors effective from Thursday, in a new move to curb the rapid increase in cases of COVID-19 variants.•A new Law of Evidence was just approved by the Council of Ministers.  This is the first of the four key judicial reform legislations that includes a new Civil Status Law, Civil Transactions Law, and Penal Code for Discretionary Sentences.•The real estate sector provided 40,000 job opportunities in 2021, increasing the private sector's participation to more than $103 billion, said Majid Al-Hogail, minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing.•Diriyah in Saudi Arabia has announced the first 14 of its 38 hotels which will be opened in coming years at the development north-west of Riyadh.•American cinema giant AMC which partners with Saudi Entertainment Ventures was an early mover after cinemas were re-opened in 2018.  AMC had hoped to open 20 cinemas by the end of 2020 but currently only runs 10 with 65 screens.•Saudi police have arrested three people who destroyed a traffic monitoring device at Umwah governorate in the southwestern region of Asir. Dozens of motorists had been criminally charged in the past for destroying Saher cameras when the monitoring scheme was first introduced in Saudi Arabia in the past few years.•Saudi Arabia has delayed the launch of a major development strategy for the city of Riyadh up to 2030 until next year due to some “incomplete elements”, the state news agency SPA reported on Tuesday.

1:00 - The Saudi Ministry of Culture hosted the Riyadh Philosophy Conference with a virtual talk from professor Michael Sandel. A major international conference on philosophy has been held in Saudi Arabia aimed at encouraging critical thinking, according to the BBC and other local sources. In a virtual appearance, Harvard professor Michael Sandel - who's been described as having the global profile of a rock star - "told the organizers that he didn't want to give a lecture, but instead sought to engage directly with young Saudis, including women," the BBC reports.The hosts discuss the importance of the rare event in Saudi Arabia. 6:14 - Expo 2030 in Saudi Arabia?Saudi Arabia has officially submitted a bid to host Expo 2030 in Riyadh, with the Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) CEO Fahd Al-Rasheed submitting the Kingdom's bid while addressing a virtual gathering of 170 member countries assembled to kickstart the five-stage bidding process that will conclude with voting in November 2023.According to the local english daily Saudi Gazette, the Kingdom's dossier submission came in its participation in the virtual meeting of the Bureau of International Exhibitions (BIE) General Assembly, which was held Tuesday in Paris.Saudi Arabia has four rivals to fend off in hopes of securing the bid: South Korea, Italy, the Ukraine, and Russia are in the running for the six-month long event organized by the BIE.“The 2030 World Expo in Riyadh will coincide with the culmination of Vision 2030, and it will be an extraordinary opportunity to showcase the achievements of the Vision and share valuable lessons from this unprecedented transformation,” Al-Rasheed said in announcing the plan.10:44 - Saudi Arabia's art and culture industry is blossoming. Saudi Arabia's inaugural Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale, which is underway and runs until March, is getting praise from critics and visitors alike. The ongoing event overlapped briefly with another cultural milestone in Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom's first ever major film festival in Jeddah. Writing in Artnet.com, Nadine Khalil called displays and performances in Riyadh as part of the Biennale "paradigm-shifting moments"On one performance, Khalil said, "People seemed compelled not just by the visceral choreography of women performing live, but by the act of witnessing this historic moment in the artistic life of a country."The Art Newspaper, another strong source in the industry, said the inaugural Diriyah Biennale and the opening of Hayy Jameel "are the latest in a series of initiatives helping the kingdom emerge from artistic isolation."The Art Newspaper goes on to say, "while the dusty Riyadh air was thick with pronouncements of “game-changing” and even “world-changing,” the hyperbole was not far off. For the relatively isolated Saudi art scene, 2021/22 will be a moment of decisive shift."29:23 - Saudi Arabia's 2022 budget - it's final. And the Saudi economy has a head of steam going into 2022. Saudi Arabia released its budget for the 2022 fiscal year following the endorsement by the Council of Ministers on December 12th, with a few changes from the preliminary budget released earlier in September this year.As expected, Saudi Arabia is expected to register its first fiscal surplus since 2013.Despite the Kingdom's strong position, the budget notes that it will not spend more. Total expenditure for 2022 is set to be $254.56 billion, that's 6 percent lower than actual expenditure this year in 2021.The budget announcement earlier this week comes on the back of mounting evidence of a Saudi economy that could have a big near next year.Saudi Arabia's economy expanded 7% in Q3, the highest rate since 2012.Riyadh said on Sunday it expected the economy to grow 2.9% this year and 7.4% next year.40:53 - 'Yallah: Saudi in a Minute' A new weekly segment for The 966 is launched. Yallah: Saudi in a Minute includes a quick rundown of other top storylines in Saudi Arabia to get you caught up before the weekend.

Depois de surpreender positivamente na abertura do campeonato, o piloto da equipe Dragon precisa confirmar, neste fim de semana, todo o potencial que mostrou em Diriyah. O problema é que o novo carro não ficou pronto a tempo e ele vai continuar usando o modelo de 2020. A esperança é que a confiabilidade do equipamento neutralize a deficiência de desempenho, o que pode ser um prejuízo grande na longa reta da nova pista de Roma.

Depois de um início de campeonato discreto em Diriyah, onde o sistema das provas de classificação o relegou a um nono e um oitavo lugares, o piloto da Audi espera melhores resultados em Roma. Para isso, ele conta com um conjunto carro/motor evoluído, capaz de levá-lo de volta às principais colocações. Mesmo assim, ele tem pela frente uma tarefa difícil, já que a categoria nunca esteve tão competitiva quanto neste ano.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=5810I SAUDITI HANNO DIFFUSO L'ESTREMISMO MUSULMANO NEL MONDO di Rino CammilleriNell'anno 851 un famoso erudito arabo, Nuaym bin Hammad, compilò il Kitab al-Fitan, una raccolta di hadith (detti di Maometto e del suo genero Alì) nella quale si può leggere questa singolare profezia: «Se vedi le bandiere nere resta dove sei e non muovere le mani o i piedi. Verrà a te una gente che è debole e non ha alcuna capacità, i loro cuori sono come blocchi di ferro. È la gente dello Stato, essi non rispettano le promesse né i trattati. Parlano di verità ma non la possiedono. I loro cognomi sono nomi di città e i loro capelli sono sciolti come quelli delle donne. Combatteranno fra loro, poi Allah porterà la verità».Terence Ward, nel suo Il Codice Wahhabi. Come i sauditi hanno diffuso l'estremismo nel mondo (Lef, pp. 130, € 14), fa notare che l'attuale capo dell'Isis («Stato» islamico) si chiama al-Baghdadi: un nome di città come cognome. Pare che negli ultimi quarant'anni l'Arabia Saudita abbia speso più di dieci miliardi di dollari per diffondere la dottrina wahhabita nel mondo sunnita, tra il 15 e il 20% della somma sarebbe andata ai jihadisti. Fino a poco tempo fa in Arabia erano vietati i minareti e i simboli funerari, chi non partecipava alla preghiera veniva flagellato.Si parte dal 1703, anno di nascita di Mohammed ibn abd al-Wahhab, che ancor giovane prese a percorrere la penisola arabica predicando il ritorno alla purezza delle origini. Visto il suo successo, nel 1744 l'emiro di Diriyah, Muhammad bin Saud, stipulò un patto di ferro con lui e da allora la dinastia dei Saud fu wahhabita.L'UNICITÀ ASSOLUTA DI ALLAHIl wahhabismo proclamava l'unicità assoluta di Allah e condannava la venerazione di qualunque intermediario, fosse pure il Profeta. Poiché era invalsa tra i musulmani l'abitudine ai pellegrinaggi alle tombe dei «santi» islamici, Wahhab le fece distruggere tutte. E ancora oggi è in pericolo la stessa tomba di Maometto a Medina, veneratissima dagli sciiti. I quali venerano anche Hussein, nipote del Profeta e «martire». La cui tomba a Kerbala, in Iraq, fu distrutta dal secondo Saud, Abdul-Aziz bin Muhammad, che nel 1802 attaccò la città con un'armata di diecimila wahhabiti e ne massacrò la popolazione. I wahhabiti continuarono a «purificare» la penisola uccidendo i maschi kafiri (secondo loro, seguaci di pratiche pagane) e riducendo in schiavitù donne e bambini fino a quando, nel 1813, il sultano d'Egitto, Muhammed Ali (come si vede non c'è molta varietà nei nomi propri), mandò l'esercito a ricacciarli nel deserto. Qui rimasero fino al 1902, anno in cui un altro Saud, Abdul Aziz, li riunì sotto la sua guida e diede vita alla «fratellanza (ikhwan) wahhabita», che si impegnò nell'indottrinamento dei beduini del deserto. Nel 1924 un poderoso esercito wahhabita conquistò La Mecca e Medina, cancellando ogni traccia di islam che non fosse rigorosamente «salafita» (la pretesa purezza della prima generazione di musulmani). Ma il capo Saud commise l'errore di dotarsi di telegrafo, telefono e automobile, cosa che al clero integralista parve intollerabile.MISSIONE WAHHABINel 1926 si venne dunque allo scontro aperto, che il Saud risolse con pugno di ferro. Da allora l'alleanza tra la famiglia reale saudita e il wahhabismo è stata fragile, e per restare al potere i Saud dovettero cedere al clero il totale controllo sulla religione. Ci vollero interminabili dibattiti per ammettere nel regno la moneta cartacea, nel 1951. E altri undici anni per l'abolizione ufficiale della schiavitù. Ma l'equilibrio restava precario.Negli anni Settanta l'idea: il ministero degli affari islamici, grazie ai proventi stellari del petrolio, lanciò la «Missione Wahhabi» (Dawah Wahhabiya) per diffondere il verbo wahhabita nel mondo. Così, enti benefici islamici presero a fondare moschee e madrase (scuole wahhabite) dappertutto, mentre torme di volontari supportavano il jihad contro il regime comunista in Afghanistan. Ma i rapporti tra dinastia e movimento wahhabita rimasero in bilico. Nel 1979 militanti wahhabiti arrivarono a occupare la Grande Moschea della Mecca in contestazione dei Saud. I quali aggravarono le cose nel 1991 permettendo l'installazione di 15.000 soldati americani nella penisola arabica.Il saudita Osama bin Laden creò al-Qaeda e nel 2001 attaccò le Torri Gemelle di New York. Il resto è cronaca.
