How Dubai Police are fighting back against online scams

Dubai is launching driverless taxis today - a long-awaited step into the future.

Home schooling has been extended for another two weeks - now running until April 17 - putting added pressure on parents and the wider education system.

Meanwhile, with the Strait of Hormuz closed for a fifth week, it’s not just oil and gas affected - fertiliser costs are surging, raising fresh concerns about global food inflation and how we grow food more efficiently.

And the city is also embracing a pay-it-forward dining trend, with initiatives like “Treat On Us” encouraging residents to buy meals for others and boost community spirit.

Driverless taxis hit Dubai’s streets

Despite regional conflict disrupting major sporting events, the Dubai World Cup has gone ahead - sending a strong signal about the UAE’s resilience and global standing.

Meanwhile after heavy rain and flooding across the UAE, a new concern is emerging - could we now see a spike in mosquito activity, and how quickly can that risk grow?

And as NASA prepares to head for the moon this week, we'll take a closer look at how the UAE is ramping up its ambitions - and positioning itself in the global space race.

Plus, Dubai is continuing to invest in active transport - expanding its cycling network with 13 new tracks as the city pushes to become more connected and sustainable. We'll hear from the RTA.

Dubai World Cup goes ahead

We look at what's happening on the roads during this season's rains and how the RTA and Dubai Municipality prepare and ensure that the 2024 floods don't happen again.

As we come to the close of the first week of home learning this term, we ask schools and universities about how they are managing the online setup.

We also speak with the KHDA to find out the latest rules when it comes to remote learning.

And if you're scheduled to watch a concert and it gets cancelled, what are your rights?
