Perth shop brings back popular dish after sell out event
In April, the dedicated team of 'Cheesemongers' fired up their grills and planned to serve up hot melted cheese, scraped straight from the wheel into fresh bread, from 10am to 2pm but hungry punters cleared out their inventory after less than two hours.
Just weeks after the event's astonishing success, the shop announced it would be bringing their coveted Raclette Melts back on May 24.
'Guess who's back, back again? RACLETTE'S BACK - tell a friend!'

'From 10am to 2pm (or until sold out), we'll be scraping molten Raclette cheese straight from the wheel onto fresh baguette, then topping it with cornichon pickles and Spanish Jamon.
'Thanks to the absolutely incredible turnout last time (seriously, thank you!), we've brought in extra hands and a second grilling station to help us get you your cheese more promptly.
'We'll do our absolute best to feed everyone who stops by to enjoy some melty goodness and support our small business.'
The Cheese Shop is a family business that began selling its 'premium quality' cheeses to farmers markets across Perth before the team scored a permanent location in the Perth Hills.

Kuwait faces dust storms, reduced visibility amid strong winds
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 3: Kuwait is currently experiencing moderate to brisk northwesterly winds that are expected to continue through Monday, leading to widespread dust storms and significantly reduced visibility, according to the Meteorology Department. Dharar Al-Ali, Director of the Meteorology Department, stated on Sunday that wind speeds may exceed 50 kilometers per hour in several areas, particularly exposed regions, where horizontal visibility could drop to below 1,000 meters. Al-Ali explained that the current weather pattern is being driven by an extension of the Indian monsoon depression. This system is bringing with it a very hot and dry air mass, contributing to both elevated temperatures and rough sea conditions. He noted that sea waves may rise to more than six feet at times due to the intensified northwesterly winds. The meteorological forecast suggests a gradual easing of wind speeds starting Tuesday. Conditions are expected to improve by Tuesday evening, as winds shift to a southeasterly direction along coastal areas. This change is likely to bring increased relative humidity, particularly in coastal regions. Winds will persist intermittently through Wednesday, Thursday, and into Friday, albeit with decreasing intensity. Daytime temperatures are forecast to remain extremely high, ranging between 47°C and 50°C, while nighttime temperatures are expected to fall between 35°C and 37°C. Dust levels are anticipated to gradually subside during the evenings as weather conditions stabilize.

UAE airports drive regional air travel resilience in first half
The International Air Transport Association (Iata) reported that global air travel demand, measured by revenue passenger kilometres (RPK), increased by 2.6 per cent in June 2025 compared to the same month in the previous year. Capacity, measured in available seat kilometres (ASK), grew by 3.4 per cent, leading to a slight drop in global load factors to 84.5 per cent — a decline of 0.6 percentage points while remaining near historic highs. International RPK climbed 3.2 per cent year-on-year, with load factors dipping to 84.4 per cent, and domestic demand rose 1.6 per cent with a load factor of 84.7 per cent . Despite these global figures, demand from the Middle East contracted: RPK was down 0.2 per cent amid capacity expansion of 1.6 per cent, dropping load factor for regional carriers to roughly 78.3 per cent. On international routes, Middle East airlines saw RPK decline by 0.4 per cent with capacity up 1.1 per cent, translating into load factors around 78.7 per cent. Traffic on routes to North America fell by 7.0 per cent and to Europe by 4.4 per cent year-on-year — impacts attributed largely to recent military conflict and resulting flight disruptions. Nevertheless, the Middle Eastern aviation sector demonstrated resilience during H1 2025, largely thanks to strong performance at key UAE airports. At Dubai International Airport, the world's busiest international hub, passenger volume reached a record‑breaking 46 million in the first half, registering a 2.3 per cent increase year‑on‑year despite regional airspace turbulence. Average monthly traffic stood at approximately 7.7 million passengers, with January alone welcoming 8.5 million. April was the busiest month of the quarter, serving 8 million travellers. DXB handled roughly 222,000 flights and processed 41.8 million bags — 91 per cent delivered within 45 minutes of arrival, and baggage mishandling rates remained low at 2 per 1,000 passengers versus an industry average of 6.3. Abu Dhabi's Zayed International Airport (AUH) also posted strong growth, welcoming over 15.8 million passengers during H1, reflecting a significant 13.1 per cent year-on-year rise. This demonstrates the strengthening of secondary hubs across the UAE and diversification in passenger traffic sources. Industry experts say these figures reflect robust operational capabilities in the UAE and continued demand even in a challenging geopolitical environment. Aviation analyst Manoj K. John of AeroConnections, commented: 'UAE airports have shown exceptional agility. Despite regional disruptions, the ability to reroute flights, maintain high efficiency, and sustain passenger volumes underlines the maturity of their infrastructure.' Another independent consultant Shakir Kantawala of Dubai-based WingsWay added: 'DXB and AUH continue to capitalise on strong connectivity to South Asia, Europe, and emerging markets. Their diversified route networks have cushioned the impact of short‑term demand shocks.' Looking at broader Middle East demand trends, the contraction in June followed a rebound in May, when the region's international RPK growth was about 9.7 per cent year‑on‑year. The slowdown highlights the volatility introduced by regional conflict, yet regional carriers remain central to global aviation recovery with strong profit margins forecast into 2025. Willie Walsh, Iata's director general, underscored that global load factors remain healthy and predicted modest capacity expansion through August, suggesting that performance will remain close to record levels through the Northern Hemisphere summer: 'Demand growth lagged capacity expansion, yet at 84.5 per cent globally, airlines continue to operate at very high efficiency.' Middle East airlines continue to play a vital role in global aviation economics. Air transport contributes approximately $290 billion annually to the regional GDP and supports four million jobs — equivalent to one job in every 20 people in the region. Analysts said that the passenger base at Dubai airports remained strong despite temporary airspace closures between Iran and Israel. They projected that DXB would serve 96 million passengers by the end of 2025 and reach 100 million in 2026 as capacity constraints at DXB ultimately shift traffic toward Al Maktoum International Airport. DWC itself saw a 36.4 per cent surge in traffic during the period, reflecting expansion ahead of DWC becoming Dubai's main airport by 2032. While June saw cooling demand across the Middle East tied to external disruptions, UAE airports upheld growth. DXB and AUH recorded strong half-year gains, offsetting regional softness and positioning the UAE as the engine of Middle East aviation demand.

Six more die of hunger in Gaza as trucks reach border for rare fuel delivery
Six more people died of starvation and malnutrition in Gaza over the past 24 hours, its health ministry said, underlining the enclave's humanitarian emergency as Egyptian state TV said two trucks were set to make a rare delivery of fuel on Sunday. The new deaths raised the toll of those dying from what international humanitarian agencies say may be an unfolding famine to 175, including 93 children, since the war began, the ministry said. Egypt's state-affiliated Al Qahera News TV said two trucks carrying 107 tonnes of diesel were set to enter Gaza, months after Israel severely restricted aid access to the enclave before easing it somewhat as starvation began to spread. Gaza's health ministry has said fuel shortages have severely impaired hospital services, forcing doctors to focus on treating only critically ill or injured patients. There was no immediate confirmation whether the fuel trucks had indeed entered Gaza. Fuel shipments have been rare since March, when Israel restricted the flow of aid and goods into the enclave in what it said was pressure on Hamas militants to free the remaining hostages they took in their October 2023 attack on Israel. Israel blames Hamas for the suffering in Gaza but, in response to a rising international outcry, it announced steps last week to let more aid reach the population, including pausing fighting for part of the day in some areas, approving air drops and announcing protected routes for aid convoys. United Nations agencies have said that airdrops of food are insufficient and that Israel must let in far more aid by land and open up access to the war-devastated territory where starvation has been spreading. Cogat, the Israeli military agency that coordinates aid, said 35 trucks have entered Gaza since June, nearly all of them in July. Looted aid trucks The Hamas-run Gaza government media office said on Sunday that nearly 1,600 aid trucks had arrived since Israel eased restrictions late in July. However, witnesses and Hamas sources said many of those trucks have been looted by desperate displaced people and armed gangs. More than 700 trucks of fuel entered the Gaza Strip in January and February during a ceasefire before Israel broke it in March in a dispute over terms for extending it and resumed its major offensive. Palestinian local health authorities said at least 40 people had been killed by Israeli gunfire and airstrikes across the coastal enclave on Sunday. Deaths included persons trying to make their way to aid distribution points in southern and central areas of Gaza, Palestinian medics said. Among those killed was a staff member of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, which said an Israeli strike at their headquarters in Khan Younis in southern Gaza ignited a fire on the first floor of the building. The Gaza war began when Hamas killed more than 1,200 people and took 251 hostage in a cross-border attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, according to Israeli figures. Israel's air and ground war in densely populated Gaza has since killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, according to enclave health officials. According to Israeli officials, 50 hostages now remain in Gaza, only 20 of whom are believed to be alive.
