There for you. Saudi arabias crown prince, Mohammed Bin Salman, has been invited to visit the uk in the autumn. The visit is likely to prompt sharp criticism over the gulf leaders Human Rights Record. It would be the first trip by the crown prince to the uk since the murder ofjournalist Jamal Khashoggi at the saudi consulate in istanbul in 2018. Us Intelligence Agencies concluded that the prince must have authorised the killing.

Got to have somewhere to deposit it. So the rules that were announcing also cover the ability of businesses to deposit cash in a location thats convenient to them.

If they fail in that duty, banks could be fined by the city watchdog. But Bank Branches are closing at a rate of more than 50 a month. So, the answer may be Ba
Mexican and colombian cartels have infiltrated local gangs as they vie for lucrative drugs routes. Ecuador was hit hard by covid and theyve taken advantage of a country broken by a pandemic and by corrupt politics. The police are at pains to show me theyre fixing the problem, but when theyre having to protect themselves with sandbags in the police station, you realise this is a war without end. This used to be one of the main routes for traffickers. People would come up here with Stolen Phones and jewellery and exchange those goods for drugs up here, but the police have taken back this area. That said, the police have lost so much more control of the city of guayaquil. The bars on all the windows in this neighbourhood tell you all you need to know about the lack of security here. Angie fears for her four children. The police are powerless, she says. Just two weeks ago her neighbour was shot dead outside his daughters school. Translation all i want is security, thats the only thing that
