Riyadh and Jeddah have improved on the Global Livability Index in an annual report prepared by the Economist Group's Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU).

The report ranks 140 cities based on an assessment of stability, culture and environment, education, health care, and infrastructure.

According to the index, Riyadh improved by three places to 103rd, and Jeddah advanced four places to 107 compared to 2022.

In a bid to achieve the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, the Quality of Life Program seeks to include three Saudi cities among the world's top 100 on livability indexes by 2030.

The program aims at improving the quality of life of citizens, residents, visitors and tourists by providing new opportunities to take part in cultural, entertainment and sports activities.

Three people have been arrested in the United Arab Emirates in connection with the alleged murder of a man, Zvi Kogan, who entered the country using his Moldovan nationality, the Emirati interior ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
The statement said that a search and investigation team was formed after the family of the victim filed a report about his disappearance. The investigations led to the discovery of the missing person's body and the identification of the perpetrators. They were arrested, and the necessary legal procedures were initiated.
It added that the details of the incident will be disclosed once the investigations are complete.
The statement emphasized that all legal powers would be used "to respond decisively and without leniency to any actions or attempts that threaten societal stability".
