    University students back in the classrooms

    With students going back to in-person learning this week, we go behind the scenes at the university where students are also back on campus. We meet the brilliant 17-year-old Anvith who has come up with a clever carpooling platform. The completed Hessa Street upgrade is making traffic in Dubai flow faster. We ask the RTA how they managed to reduce travel time from 24 minutes to just 5. A brand new agency employing AI-only influencers is launching in Dubai. So what does it mean for the real people who are already shaping the industry?     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Schools return

    Confusion in the Strait of Hormuz raises questions over what’s really happening. UAE students return to classrooms, but the transition is far from normal. Dubai’s rental market is shifting, with short stays down and long stays rising. Dubai’s first flying taxi hub is now ready at DXB. A €100 ticket wins a Picasso worth over a million in Paris.

    Traffic impact of school bus operations postponement

    With school buses suspended ahead of the return to classrooms, what does that mean for your morning commute? Could thousands more cars be hitting the roads next week, and how much pressure will that put on the network? What are other alternatives for parents and students? From the UAE to the Philippines, we discuss the impact of the nationwide transport strike driven by soaring fuel prices. And we speak to one UAE-based company using AI to support small businesses struggling with falling footfall. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Students return to in-person learning

    It was the news many families across the UAE have been waiting for, classrooms reopening and students heading back in from Monday. We speak with Her Excellency Aisha Miran, Director General - Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) to find out how ready the system truly is. We also welcome school officials from both private and higher institutions to learn how they are managing the return. With a draft law on the table for e-scooters and e-bikes, including registration and parental responsibility, could we be about to see a major shift in how they are regulated in Dubai? We also turn to the future of the city, with a major new masterplan community unveiled in Al Jaddaf, built around connectivity, transport and how people live and move. And could thinking about how your mum would judge your driving actually make Dubai’s roads safer? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Nurseries reopening

    After 7 weeks of disruption and four weeks of distanced learning, nurseries in Dubai and Sharjah are preparing for a phased return to in-person learning from this week, subject to approval from the Dubai's KHDA and Spear, the bodies that regulate private childcare and schools in the emirates. So what does that mean in practice? We speak to one Dubai-based nursery. We also talk to education leaders about how schools are preparing, from safety measures to supporting students as they readjust. With paid parking fees in Discovery Gardens getting a revision from today, we ask: what's driving the expansion of paid parking in residential areas? If you’ve been on the roads in Dubai recently, you may have noticed a slightly different tone when it comes to road safety. The RTA, working with Dubai Police, has launched a new campaign encouraging drivers to behave as if their mum is in the car. And after recent heavy rain, Dubai Municipality is stepping up mosquito control efforts.       See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  6. Roblox to introduce new age-based accounts

    Roblox to introduce new age-based accounts

    Gaming platform Roblox is rolling out major new safety measures, including age-based accounts, stricter parental controls, and mandatory verification for certain features, to better protect children online. But how effective are these safeguards in reality? We hear from Roblox directly, and then speak to a child development expert about what it means for behaviour, wellbeing, and digital literacy. Claims about extending distance learning until May 1st have been confirmed as FALSE, and authorities are reminding residents that sharing unverified information, particularly during times of crisis, can carry serious legal consequences. So what counts as misinformation, and could simply forwarding a message land you in trouble? We speak to lawyer Dino Wilkinson from Baker McKenzie. The global impact of the Iran-US conflict is deepening, and with US President Donald Trump ordering a naval blockade targeting Iranian ports, oil prices have surged back above $100 a barrel. What impact is that having on Asian countries? We get the latest on the ground in the Philippines. If you're looking for a new way to stay active in Dubai, Dubai Police is stepping things up with a new initiative that’s making fitness completely free and accessible to everyone.   And we tell you about a new in-store dining experience right here in Dubai.

    Are Dubai property prices beginning to soften?

    With the ongoing situation in the region, we look first at the status of the housing market in Dubai with Louis Harding from Betterhomes. We also discuss what’s happening behind the scenes, with some mortgage applications now on hold, while others move quickly to secure deals. Jo Phillips from Phillips & Walls Mortgage Brokers joins us on that. A fragile ceasefire may be holding but overnight, tensions have escalated again, with US President Donald Trump announcing a military blockade from 2pm GMT — that’s 6pm here in the UAE. We hear from the International Chamber of Shipping on what that means for global trade and stranded seafarers. We also ask: what's happening beneath the surface, how is marine life impacted by the situation at the Strait of Hormuz? And we get more details about the newly-approved oral weight-loss medication in the UAE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    KHDA's Guide to distance learning

    We’ve got the interview a lot of parents will be waiting for - the KHDA, which regulates private schools in Dubai, joins us shortly to talk through their guide to distance learning. While it still feels too early to announce a return to normality - some sectors of the economy are still bubbling along. We'll discuss concerts with Dubai Opera, and sports with the team from ISD Dubai Sports City - who despite the conflict are busy with children getting active. The immediate picture looks more stable, experts are warning the conflict in the Gulf could have longer-term environmental consequences - particularly with both sides targeting oil and gas facilities, as well as desalination plants. We’ll dig into that with a local expert. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
