As the closure of the Strait of Hormuz continue to cause global repercussions, we are revisiting waterway and the seafarers currently trapped at sea.

We also look at how the conflict is putting pressure on air traffic controllers.

We turn our attention to spending habits when uncertainty rises, and are UAE shoppers pulling back or leaning in?

As remote learning resumes, we also look at how the conflict is affecting families here in the UAE, and the growing pressure on nannies.

Plus, we check in with schools and parents to see how the first day back at school for students is going.
