Judge in Tennessee blocks effort to put Elvis Presley's former home Graceland up for sale, The AP reported.

Earlier, actress and model Riley Keough - Elvis's granddaughter - has reportedly been able to get a temporary restraining order against any sale before a court rules on her application for an injunction.

The former home and burial site of Elvis Presley is set to be sold at a foreclosure auction on Thursday - but his granddaughter is attempting to halt the court-approved sale of Graceland, according to Sky News.

The case stems from a 2018 deed of trust Keough's late mother - Elvis's only child - allegedly signed, securing a $3.8m loan from Naussany Investments and Private Lending LLC in Missouri.

The company says Graceland was used as collateral in the loan, which was never paid back.

But in new court filings, Keough is fighting the sale of the Memphis, Tennessee, compound - claiming her mother never signed over anything and never borrowed any money.

The Imam Turki bin Abdullah Royal Reserve is breathing new life into northeastern Saudi Arabia. In line with Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative, the reserve is returning to its natural splendor and witnesses a return of wildlife populations, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Saturday.
An ambitious project focused on reintroducing and increasing the numbers of iconic species, like the Arabian oryx, sand gazelle, Houbara bustard, and red-necked ostrich. The flourishing vegetation cover has become a haven for a diverse range of birds, which are vital to preserving the balance of the ecosystem by controlling insects, small rodents, and carrion, SPA said.
Bird-nesting activity has been observed, alongside a return of sand cats, wild cats, foxes, honey badgers, and desert hedgehogs.
The reserve is also seeing a resurgence of reptiles like lizards and snakes, alongside a thriving insect population, SPA said.
Covering a vast 91,500 square kilometers, the Imam Turki bin Abdullah Royal Reserve is a treasure trove of biodiversity. It boasts unique varieties of plant, including large trees, shrubs, and a year-round perennial plant cover. The reserve even harbors a collection of plants with valuable medicinal and aromatic properties.
The large-scale restoration effort is transforming the reserve into a flourishing natural haven, demonstrating Saudi Arabia's commitment to conserving the environment for future generations.
