GORANI: Well, Saudis have had to travel to another country to do something many of us take for granted, go see a movie in the theater. Next year, though, as part of Crown Prince Salman's 2030 reform package, Saudi Arabia will give cinemas licenses for the first time since the early 80s. That means women, men and children alike can sit in the cushy chairs to munch away on popcorn, while getting absorbed in dramas or comedies or watching superhero films. In addition to this being a part of social reform, it's also an economic boost, creating new job opportunities and keeping money Saudis spend on such entertainment abroad normally in the local economy. At least that's the aim. And speaking of Saudi Arabia, it's the biggest art sale in history, a painting by the Italian Renaissance master himself, bought by what was a mysterious bidder at Christie's auction last month. The mystery, though, has since been solved because Leonardo da Vinci Salvator Mundi, one of only 20 authenticated paintings by the man himself, was bought by Abu Dhabi's Department of Culture and Tourism. It will be displayed in the newly opened Louvre Abu Dhabi. It cost a record $450 million. For those in the back, that's 450,300,000. That's a lot of zeros. And by the way, you'll remember that there was this whole report that behind the mystery buyer was the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. It appears that it was not the case, that it was destined for the Louvre in Abu Dhabi all along. Those reports had floated around.
