A First

Saudi Arabia has appointed a woman as deputy education minister. She will be in charge of a new department for female students.

There must be something new in the water there now as the King has made other changes in the government. Two ultra conservatives, the chief of the religious police and the country's most senior judge, were replaced. One of the judge's rulings was that it was okay to kill owners of satellite television channels which broadcast immoral programs.
