This week, three major, widely covered events dominated public attention across the European continent. Millions of spectators traveled to prime viewing locations across the region to gather and witness the rare solar eclipse, an event that drew cross-generational interest from amateur astronomers and casual observers alike. Separately, archaeological teams working off the northern coast of Sicily made a significant historical discovery: an ancient Roman shipwreck that experts say could unlock new insights into Mediterranean maritime trade and travel from the era. In celebrity news, global football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo tied the knot with his long-term partner Georgina Rodríguez, a story that dominated entertainment headlines across social and traditional media platforms. With all these high-profile events grabbing global headlines, many news consumers have likely missed other important developments unfolding around the world over the past seven days. To help audiences test their knowledge of underreported and other key current affairs stories from the last week, journalists Grace Dean and George Sandeman have compiled a new interactive current affairs quiz for readers. For those who enjoy testing their knowledge of recent events and want additional quizzes, the creators note that readers can access the previous week’s quiz, or browse through a full archive of past current affairs quizzes compiled by the team. This week’s quiz includes questions covering major developments related to former U.S. President Donald Trump and ongoing U.S. political events.
