Six months since the regional conflict began, we look at the continuing disruption to the Strait of Hormuz and how Gulf states are developing pipelines and alternative routes that could reduce Iran’s leverage over the vital waterway.

Plus, UEFA is preparing possible criminal proceedings against FIFA president Gianni Infantino, escalating the power struggle at the top of world football.

Meanwhile Bill Gates warns governments are nowhere near ready for the impact AI could have on jobs.

And on Emirati Women’s Day, we hear from the UAE women’s cricket captain as the Women’s Asia Cup gets underway in Dubai.

We also ask whether getting rid of homework could actually help younger children learn, and meet the Australian scientists developing cyborg cockroaches that could one day save lives in disaster zones.
