Irish national Daniel Kinahan has appeared in court after being extradited from the UAE to Ireland, accused of serious organised crime offences. We look at how extradition works and what the UAE’s growing network of agreements tells us about international trust and cooperation.

Plus, as tourists begin returning to the UAE following months of regional disruption, we ask what will bring Chinese and Indian visitors back, and whether major events could accelerate the recovery.

We also explore a breakthrough in vaccines that don’t need refrigeration, the growing row at the top of FIFA, Taylor Swift stopping Donald Trump from using her music on TikTok, and the launch of the new Dubai-it Award.

And we ask: what does Dubai do better than anywhere else? What’s given you that “only in Dubai” moment?
