British children born overseas could be denied entry to the UK from next week because of a change in passport rules. And it is not just children. Dual nationals more broadly are facing a scramble for documentation before the new rules come into force on February 25th. So what does the law actually say?

We are in the first day on Ramadan and the Holy Month of course, is a time of reflection and generosity, but how does that spirit translate into real-world behaviour, not just here in the UAE, but globally? We also find out a bit more about how you can give back this Holy Month.

This week the UAE marked five years since its Hope Probe entered orbit around Mars, a historic achievement that made the Emirates the first Arab nation to reach the Red Planet. And today we learned the mission has been extended until 2028, three years beyond its original plan.

There is now a growing campaign calling on hotels to bring back proper bathroom doors, arguing that privacy should not be optional. Is this clever use of space, or have hotels taken minimalist design too far?

And some hotels are now embedding tiny tracking tags into towels and linens. The aim? To reduce theft, cut costs and monitor inventory more efficiently.
