Paid parking has been introduced in the residential community of Discovery Gardens in Dubai. We speak to some residents who are happy with the changes and to some too who feel it’s an extra financial burden.

What were the main factors that led Dubai to expand paid parking systems in residential communities? Is it a necessary solution? We get the take of Elev8's Pedram Rad.

It’s been twelve months since US President Donald Trump was sworn back into the White House. So how is this second term shaping up? And is it unfolding the way his supporters had hoped? Katie is joined by Stephen Collinson, senior reporter for CNN Politics. He covers the White House, and politics across the United States and around the world.

We also focus on Trump's statement that the United States would talk about acquiring Greenland at this week's Davos World Economic Forum because Denmark cannot protect the country. We speak with Dr. Timo Koivurova, Research Professor, Arctic Centre at the University of Lapland in Finland.

And the UAE has claimed the top position globally in a 2026 government trust index.
