Tantrums on the touchline

Last month, Afternoons met Jessica, a new mum who leapt into action to help her 'agency' cleaner, after discovering she - and her colleagues - had been denied healthcare, visas and access to their passports.

Having worked with Dubai Police to get the team's documents returned to them, Jessica set about helping them with their CVs to find them better employment - but as she explains to Helen today, she ended up hiring them instead.

Plus, lawyer Dilini Loku joins us for an employment clinic, Dr Bisi Laniyan explains why stress is not a flex, we talk mole mapping for kids with dermatologist Dr Parul Thakur, and Haus & Haus' Harrison Rackham Beadle is on hand to handle your property questions.

From helping... to hiring

Bad behaviour and pet peeves

Dubai Police have issued a behavior warning to football fans following unrest and a number of arrests at a match on Saturday. But what prompts disruption at sporting events - and how can it be successfully prevented? Helen puts that big question to two experts in the field - Professor of Afro-Eurasian Sport Simon Chadwick and Scott Armstrong, the founder of Mentl.
