Every week, major international headlines tend to focus only on a handful of high-profile events, pushing a range of other noteworthy happenings around the world to the margins of public attention. This week is no exception: three major developments have already dominated breaking news coverage, including a walkout by the United States delegation during a French envoy’s address at the United Nations, an out-of-control large wildfire that has been spreading along Suffolk’s coastal stretch, and a massive iceberg that has capsized in waters close to a populated Greenlandic town.
Despite the saturation coverage given to these stories, however, many smaller but still notable events have flown under the radar for most news consumers. Compiled by editor George Sandeman, a new weekly interactive quiz has been launched to challenge readers to recall and recognize the other key developments that unfolded across the globe over the past seven days. For readers who enjoy testing their knowledge of current events, the quiz project maintains a growing archive of past challenges: enthusiasts can access last week’s published quiz, or browse through a wide selection of older quizzes from the collection to put their global awareness to the test. This week’s quiz also includes thematic content covering etiquette, law and order issues related to Singapore.
