Asharq News Network celebrated this week its third year launching its multiplatform economic news services, including Asharq News and Asharq Business with Bloomberg.

 

The 24/7 multiplatform Arabic news service broadcasts across the Arab world and beyond with news and an in-depth analysis reported through the lens of the economy.

 

The platform was launched in 2020 with an exclusive content agreement with Bloomberg Media, the business and financial information news leader, to broadcast Asharq Business with Bloomberg, airing content daily.

 

On the anniversary, Asharq News General Manager Nabeel al-Khatib said the company witnessed exceptional growth in audience figures from Asharq News and Asharq Business with Bloomberg.

 

"The successful growth is a testament to the quality of Asharq platforms, and the objective is to meet our audience demands by providing the information they need, in the places they want to view, to inform, inspire and empower decision making," Khatib said.
He indicated that the new free-to-view platforms, Asharq Documentary, Asharq Discovery, and Asharq audio offerings, are a natural new phase in the Asharq expansion journey.

 

Asharq News and Asharq Business with Bloomberg are the leading Arabic-language business news providers, appealing to business leaders and a younger generation that understands the importance of global economic, financial, and corporate information.

 

The exclusive content agreement provides access to Bloomberg's extensive financial and economic content, analysis, and market data.

 

The content is delivered through a dedicated television channel and multiple digital platforms, offering continuous insights into the people, events, organizations, and ideas that impact the MENA region and international markets.

 

The platform is unique in its exceptional variety of programs, rich in in-depth and accurate analyses.

 

Popular programs include the first business morning show in the Middle East, ' Assabah Maa Cyba,' 'East Indices,' 'Aswaq Asharq,' 'East-West,' and the 'Evening Session.'

 

Programming also includes two weekly business shows that cover energy and technology topics: 'Taqa Plus' and 'Tech Plus.'

 

Asharq News Network also covers specialized topics on dedicated social media accounts such as Asharq Business Sports, Asharq Business Crypto, Asharq Business Technology, and Asharq Business Green, focusing on climate change, sustainability, and green news and Asharq Bloomberg Businessweek.

 

Asharq News has established itself as a leading Arabic platform for the past three years. It is now the fastest-growing news channel on social media in the MENA region, with 50 million followers across all platforms.

 

Since its launch, the platform has won over 35 global and regional awards.

 

Asharq News is headquartered in Riyadh, with central offices in the Dubai International Financial Center, UAE, and Washington DC, and major hubs and studios in Cairo and Abu Dhabi.

 

It has an extensive network of regional offices and correspondents across key Arab countries and in global capitals and access to the content produced by hundreds of reporters from Bloomberg's network worldwide.

Two Chinese astronauts this week completed a world-record spacewalk of more than nine hours, according to a statement from China's Manned Space Agency, marking another milestone for Beijing's rapidly expanding space program.

The spacewalk, carried out by Cai Xuzhe and Song Lingdong outside the Tiangong space station in low-Earth orbit on Tuesday, was at least four minutes longer than the last record set by NASA astronauts James Voss and Susan Helms in 2001, according to Reuters.

The two astronauts of China's Shenzhou-19 mission donned their Feitian spacesuits to carry out an array of tasks on the station's exterior, including the installation of space-debris protection devices, China's space agency said.

"They successfully completed all the planned tasks and felt very excited about it," Wu Hao, a staffer from the China Astronaut Research and Training Center, told China Central Television, a state broadcaster.

The former Soviet Union in 1965 became the first nation to carry out a spacewalk. Since then, Russia and the United States have conducted hundreds of such missions, primarily outside the International Space Station for tasks ranging from solar panel installations to materials research.

The first spacewalk by a Chinese astronaut occurred in 2008.

China's spacewalking milestone this week comes amid a flurry of other recent cosmic achievements that have boosted Beijing's competitive footing with the United States.

China landed its first rover on Mars in 2021 and earlier this year became the first country to retrieve rock samples from the moon's treacherous far side in its Chang'e-6 mission.

Beijing is targeting 2030 to land its first astronauts on the moon to become the second country after the US to put humans there. Beijing has courted roughly a dozen countries for its International Lunar Research Station program, an effort to build a moon base on the moon's south pole.

That program rivals NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return US astronauts to the moon for the first time since the final Apollo mission of 1972.
