A UK-based model named Carla Bellucci&nbsp;has made the news headlines for a bizarre decision regarding her wedding. Reportedly, 40-year-old Karla is set to tie the knot with her&nbsp;52-year-old beau Jovani. The wedding will take place in the archipelago of Cape Verde with guests invited as well. However, there's a twist in the tale.

Reportedly, Carla has asked the guests to shell out as much as $112&nbsp;to attend the wedding. Additionally, the guests are expected to pay for their food as well as flight and hotel charges. While the guests are being asked to spend a fortune, the model has already spent nearly $48,000 on the wedding.&nbsp;

According to media reports, Carla and Jovani have hired white horses and brought elaborate dresses for the big day, whilst spending approximately $7,500 on wedding rings.&nbsp;

One of the guests on Reddit remarked that&nbsp;couple was providing an open bar but still had a&nbsp;wishing well, which is a drop-off point for friends and family to leave gifts, mainly in the form of money.

The UK heatwave is breaking all records. Schools have been shut, trains are running slower. Meanwhile, political temperatures are rising too. The TV debates for 10D are exposing divisions within the Conservative Party. Palki Sharma reports.

Gravitas: UK is sweltering under record high temperatures

It has been revealed that former Labour&nbsp;UK Prime Minister Tony Blair persuaded Kuwait to buy the latest British artillery equipment in the late 90s, particularly the&nbsp;AS90 howitzer, to compensate for receiving support from the European nation during the Gulf War.&nbsp;

Reportedly, from 1998 to 1999, the British PM made several overtures in front of&nbsp;Kuwait’s Sheikh Sa’ad to sell the weapons. Such was Blair's attempt to seek a deal that during a return journey to Britain from South Africa, he used the layover to call the Sheikh and further the talks.&nbsp;

The Labour leader even wrote letters to the crown prince where he claimed AS90 as 'the best 155mm gun in the world today'. Blair's aggressive sales tactics came in the backdrop of the US offering its much cheaper M109 howitzer to Kuwait. Blair did not want the deal to go through and thus played the emotional card. However, Sheikh&nbsp;Sa’ad made it clear that the price of AS90 was too high.&nbsp;

“The prime minister raised the AS90. It was an effective weapon, although he knew the US had offered the M109. He hoped very much that all the support we had given Kuwait would be remembered." private Secretary Philip Barton at 10, Downing Street wrote in a letter.

According to internal briefing notes released by UK's National Archives, Blair was put under pressure after he was told that the government was 'frankly disappointed' to have 'won so little Kuwaiti defence business since the end of Gulf war'.&nbsp;

Despite Blair's best lobbying efforts, Kuwait could not be persuaded and two months after his meeting with the Sheikh, the West Asian country signed with the US to acquire the M109 howitzers.&nbsp;

WION Climate Tracker: UK witnesses third-hottest day on record as weather office warns of serious health issues

A recent study found that there’s an increase in the proportion of healthy kids who are dieting to reduce their weight. Everybody is so conscious and particular about their weight, and how they look, majorly youngsters. Experts from Oxford University surveyed 34,000 kids on their weight and discovered that the proportion of kids with a healthy body mass index (BMI) has tripled in the previous two decades. In a survey, children were asked if they want to grow, maintain or reduce their weight. Only 5 per cent said they were keen to lose weight when this study began in 1997. But it rose to 14 per cent by the year 2016, Mirror reported.

According to the data, over one in three kids in the United Kingdom is overweight or obese.&nbsp;

Britain prepares for temperatures 'hotter' than the Sahara desert

Amazon said on Friday (July 15) that it aims to create more than 4000 new jobs this year in Britain. The company said that under this plan the company would enter the list of nation's 10 biggest private sector employers. Amazon released a statement and said that this expansion will take its permanent workforce to 75,000.

The US e-commerce giant benefitted from booming online shopping during COVID lockdowns.

New jobs it plans to create will be spread across Britain. Two new fulfillment centres are set to open in Knowsley and Wakefield. Both of the cities are in northern England.

Among the new jobs, there will also be roles in corporate and technology functions in software development, product management and engineering

"We're continuing to invest in talent right across the UK, from apprentices in Swansea to data scientists in Edinburgh," said Amazon UK country manager John Boumphrey.

The announcement comes ahead of Amazon's second-quarter earnings, due later this month.

Meanwhile, Amazonm has offered a settlement against charges raised by the European Union that the online giant undermined sellers on its platform to boost its own retail business.

The offer by Amazon is a huge step by the US-based behemoth that has denied for years accusations by rivals and regulators that it unfairly uses the troves of data parked on its platform to benefit its own products and services.
