UAE petrol prices have risen for August as renewed geopolitical tensions push Brent crude back above $100 a barrel. Rustin Edwards, Head of Sales at VKG, examines the volatility driving global oil markets and what it could mean for prices at the pump. Plus, UK barrister Byron James has become the first foreign lawyer admitted to the UAE Roll of Advocates. He joins us to discuss what the milestone means for foreign lawyers, international law firms and the UAE’s position as a global legal hub. And Samsung has unveiled its lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet, weighing just 201 grams. Fadi Abu Shamat, Vice President and Head of Mobile Experience at Samsung Gulf Electronics, takes us through the Fold8’s biggest upgrades and discusses what a price tag above $2,000, or around AED 8,000 could mean for demand in the GCC.
