The biggest cake in the world in Paris has melted.

In Paris, France, a 7.8-meter-high world's largest cake tower 20 1 was put into outdoor exhibition on July 1 day. The cake was originally expected to be exhibited outdoors for 4 days. Unexpectedly, after only 1 day, the cake softened and melted, and it looked more like the rickety leaning tower of Pisa.

The temperature in the Gulf countries soared to 50℃

Since the end of June 20 10, the continuous high temperature weather in Saudi Arabia, coupled with the attack of sandstorms, has led to a sudden increase in power demand, which has led to the interruption of power supply in the western region. According to the meteorological department, the temperature in Saudi Arabia soared to 50℃ this summer, several degrees higher than the average temperature in the same period in 2009. Compared with Saudi Arabia, the people in neighboring Iraq and Kuwait, which are also hit by heat waves, are even more miserable. In Kuwait, it is common to lose power every day in summer. Last week, the temperature in Kuwait soared to 52℃. In order to save electricity, the Kuwaiti parliament suggested reducing the working days of government departments.

In Iraq, high temperatures and long-term power outages caused people in two cities in southern Iraq to take to the streets to protest, and the head of the power sector resigned.
