As the week drew to a close, three major storylines dominated mainstream news cycles, while a curated current events quiz invited readers to test how closely they had followed global developments over the previous seven days.
First, in UK domestic politics, Sir Keir Starmer participated in his final session of Prime Minister’s Questions this week, marking a historic transition of power as he prepares to take up residence at 10 Downing Street, the official residence and workplace of Britain’s head of government.
Across the Atlantic and in the Middle East, escalating tensions between the United States and Iran continued to roil international security: the two nations exchanged sharp verbal attacks in addition to targeted military strikes, leaving global observers watching closely for further escalation.
In the world of arts and culture, the newly released film *The Odyssey* has earned overwhelming critical acclaim, with reviewers across the industry praising the project and generating substantial buzz among moviegoers.
Beyond these three major headlines, the quiz compiled by journalist Ben Fell challenges readers to recall what other major and minor stories unfolded across the globe in the last seven days. For readers eager to test their knowledge further, additional quizzes are available, including the previous week’s challenge and a range of older quizzes archived on the platform. This week’s quiz includes categories covering dinosaurs, fossils, and the United States, offering a diverse range of topics to test readers’ news literacy.
