Lebanon's decades-old Parliament speaker, Nabih Berri, was just re-elected for a sixth time since he first took up speakership in 1992. 

The 80-year-old has held the position for a quarter of a century ... and it seems as though he isn't going anywhere anytime soon. 

On Wednesday, the new governing body met for its inaugural session following national elections earlier in May, after a nine year deadlock, and re-elected Berri as parliamentary speaker. 

"I extend my sincere thanks, for the sixth time, to the MPs for their confidence in renewing [my] responsibilities as Parliament speaker," Berri said, according to The Daily Star.

Of course, the news was met with humor on Lebanese Twitter:

"We haven't seen anyone other than him as parliamentary speaker, so we can't really judge."

For the second time in a row, professional French footballer and Manchester United star Paul Pogba arrived back in Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah. 

In a video he posted on his Instagram account on Monday, the renowned sportsman shared his excitement at being back at Mecca's holy site, saying:

"Only the person that comes here, they will understand the feeling. So I hope the people that have never have been here yet will do one day." 

"Beautiful place. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. And the feeling, I cannot even explain to you. Inshallah, you're going to come here, salam," he added. 

As with his last trip to the kingdom, Pogba's most recent visit to Mecca coincides with the holy month of Ramadan.

"May God accept your prayers." 

During Ramadan last year, Pogba also performed Umrah in Mecca. 

At the time, he announced the visit on Instagram and posted a video of himself standing in front of the Kaaba, donning the traditional white garb worn by Muslim men during the religious pilgrimage.

The football star had previously visited Mecca to perform Hajj, the mandatory annual Islamic pilgrimage that every capable Muslim is expected to do at least once in their lifetime.

The central midfielder, who became the most expensive footballer in history during the summer of 2016, was born to Muslim Guinean parents and has never shied away from publicly expressing his faith.
