Dubai: 10-year-old reports abusive father through smart app, police take action
A 10-year-old used the Dubai Police smart app to report his abusive father for excessive cruelty. His action prompted quick intervention by the Child and Women Protection Department.
The boy, identified only as A.A, said he was repeatedly beaten up by his father, unlike his younger siblings. The beatings left visible bruises on his body, which he tried to hide from classmates. His performance in school also began to decline, drawing concern from his school's administration and social worker.

Oman revises rules for bank transfers, makes IBAN mandatory
From July 1, 2025, Oman has implemented a new requirement for all financial transfers. The Central Bank of Oman had earlier announced that the International Bank Account Number (IBAN) will be mandatory for all domestic financial transactions. It also added that international transactions will accepted without an IBAN now.
The IBAN was made mandatory for international transfers on March 31, 2024. According to the Central Bank of Oman, this initiative has significantly improved transaction accuracy, reduced errors, and accelerated processing times for both local and international bank transfers.

Dubai tenants call for affordable, legal housing amid crackdown on illegal partitions
As Dubai authorities continue to crack down on illegal room partitions and bed spaces in neighbourhoods across the emirate, residents are urging legal and affordable alternatives β one that keeps people safe but also considers their limited income.
For thousands of workers in the city, shared rooms were never a home or a place of comfort; they were just a place to rest. With rising rents and modest salaries, many found relief in low-cost partitioned rooms or bed spaces. However, with stricter inspections, many have been forced to relocate, often to other emirates, facing long commutes and uncertainty.

UAE students applying for US visa will now have to make social media accounts public
Residents from the UAE applying for certain US visas will now have to make their social media accounts public, the US embassy in UAE announced recently. All applicants for F, M, and J nonimmigrant visas will be instructed to adjust the privacy settings on all of their social media profiles to 'public'.
The move comes after the US ramped up vetting of social media accounts as President Donald Trump's administration ordered the resumption of student visa appointments but said it will significantly tighten its social media vetting in a bid to "identify any applicants who may be hostile towards the United States".
