Elon Musk Contacts Lebanese President, Expresses Interest in Telecom and Internet Investment
Taarek Refaat Lebanese President General Joseph Aoun received a phone call from Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, during which Musk expressed strong interest in Lebanon's telecommunications and internet sectors. According to an official statement from the Lebanese Presidency, Musk also conveyed a desire for his companies to have a presence in Lebanon—an initiative President Aoun welcomed, affirming the government's readiness to offer all possible facilitations within the framework of Lebanese laws and regulations. At the conclusion of the call, President Aoun extended an invitation to Musk to visit Beirut, which the billionaire entrepreneur graciously accepted in principle, promising to make the trip at the first suitable opportunity. The conversation comes at a time when Lebanon is actively seeking ways to emerge from its prolonged economic crisis. With the recent lifting of sanctions on Syria, new regional economic corridors are expected to open, particularly around reconstruction and infrastructure development—offering Lebanon potential roles and benefits, especially in sectors like energy, logistics, and technology. Musk's outreach, if followed by concrete action, could signal a new chapter in Lebanon's efforts to attract high-profile international investors. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Chaka Khan is headlining Pride in London 2025 – here's the full lineup
Now entering its 53rd year, next week Pride in London is set to put on yet another enormous and wonderfully camp extravaganza, commemorating the 1969 Stonewall riots and celebrating London's LGBTQ+ community. Besides the huge parade of around 30,000 folk, six stages will be popping up in central London on Saturday, July 5, hosting more than 100 performers – from drag queens and kings to DJs, dancers and activists. Most exciting of all, it's just been announced that there's one huge name headlining this year's event. Topping the bill for this year's London's Pride is none other than 'Ain't Nobody' singer and 10 time Grammy award-winner Chaka Khan. Khan will grace the main stage at Trafalgar Square next Saturday, joined by a host of other absolute icons. Also taking to that stage will be Titanique's Lauren Drew, Frankie Grande (yes, the brother of Ariana Grande) and Ru Paul's Drag Race UK star La Voix. And it might sound too good to be true, but all the stages are totally free to attend. So stock up on the glitter and body paint, get your pre-drinks playlist in order and perfect your voguing – here's everyone you can expect to see across all six Pride stages next week.

Flinders Lane just scored a smoking hot basement restaurant for contemporary fire-fuelled fare
Melbourne loves a visually dramatic restaurant opening – from Reine and La Rue 's breathtaking reveal in the city's historic former Stock Exchange building to Yugen 's stylish subterranean debut in South Yarra, golden orb, shimmering chandelier and all. So it seems natural that in searching for a permanent space for Sri Lankan import Ministry of Crab, hospo group H&J Restaurants would select somewhere with sufficient swank factor. Flinders Lane's newly restored Invicta House was the ticket and now, months later, the team have opened a second restaurant in its basement as promised. Let's just say, it's looking very swish indeed. Under the watchful presence of an imposing bull sculpture, guests descend the tunnel staircase before unearthing a striking centrepiece stone bar in the world below. Beyond, a fiery open kitchen reveals the chefs' craftsmanship, a culinary show that plays until midnight. The 115-seater space is decked out in dramatic reds, charcoals and deep blues to set a moody tone – courtesy of top-notch design and architecture firm Air Studio. The new dining destination promises to simmer with sexy, after-dark Melbourne energy – but what can guests expect to eat and drink here? One clue lies in its mysterious name: II II VI (or if reading Roman numerals hurts your brain, Two-Two-Six). In ancient Roman times, food was primarily prepared in open fires and ovens, fuelled by natural elements like charcoal and wood. This is the type of smoky, charred deliciousness you can expect at the new Flinders Lane restaurant, where a custom parilla grill, hibachi grill and charcoal oven will entrust the mighty flame with mighty work: to elevate fine ingredients to their highest potential. Fire plays a part across many of the world's cuisines and cultural histories beyond ancient Rome, of course – all from which II II VI draws inspiration. H&J Restaurants' managing director Harsha Kumarasingha explains: 'The kitchen team combine the technical precision of Japanese robata, the passion of South American asado, and the rustic charm of Basque flame-cooking, amalgamating for a globally minded, contemporary Australian dining experience.' While the cooking may be internationally inspired, executive chef Kerry Lam (Koko at Crown, Calia Group) and head chef Haitham Richani (Gradi Group, Barmah Park Restaurant & Cellar Door, Hopetoun Tea Rooms) have crafted a menu that homes in on Australian produce and ingredients. In the upcoming chef's table experience, guests will be able to select between two or three courses that feature dishes like dry-aged Mayura Wagyu rump, salt-baked John Dory and Abrolhos Island scallops. Luxe starters span fresh oysters, foie gras and caviar, while a highlight of the dessert menu is a flame-treated spiced rum baba. Currently, a bar snack menu and select wine list are available while the restaurant refines and reveals its full menu in the coming weeks. To find out more, visit the website or check out the restaurant's Instagram page. II II VI is located in the basement of 226 Flinders Lane and is open from Wednesday to Saturday, 5pm until midnight.
