Dubai Police arrest young man for recklessly driving at high speed on the hard shoulder
Following reckless behavior that endangered others, Dubai Police apprehended a young Asian man who was captured on video driving dangerously, overtaking vehicles on the shoulder at high speed, putting both his life and the lives of other road users at serious risk. Major General Saif Muhair Al Mazrouei, Director of the General Department of Traffic, stated that traffic patrols promptly initiated an investigation after the footage showed the driver operating his vehicle at excessive and unsafe speeds. He stated that such dangerous behaviors reflect a clear violation of the law and demonstrate disregard for human lives, stressing that sharing these videos encourages others to replicate this reckless behavior and contributes to an increase in dangerous driving incidents. Furthermore, Al Mazrouei pointed out that this conduct constitutes a serious traffic violation and can inadvertently lead teenagers and those unaware of the risks to engage in similar actions. He emphasized that disseminating such content harms the community and undermines efforts to promote traffic safety awareness. Additionally, Al Mazrouei mentioned that the specialized teams in the General Department of Traffic swiftly identified and apprehended the driver, taking necessary legal actions, under Decree No. 30 of 2023 concerning vehicle impoundment, which slaps violators with a fine of AED 50,000 to release an impounded vehicle. 'The driver was subsequently referred to the relevant authorities for further legal proceedings,' he continued. He indicated that statistics show that this behaviour endangers both riders and pedestrians, noting that at least 80 per cent of violators have been involved in severe traffic accidents, resulting in many fatalities and serious injuries. Al Mazrouei assured the public that the police would not tolerate such violations, prioritising the safety of all road users. He urged the community to report dangerous behaviours via the 'Police Eye' feature on the Dubai Police app or by calling the 'We Are All Police' hotline at 901. Al Mazrouei indicated that fostering a safe traffic environment is a shared responsibility that necessitates cooperation between the community and relevant authorities. He stated that Dubai Police will continue leveraging the latest technologies and intelligent systems to monitor violators and maintain road safety 24/7.

Trump stirs up controversy over suggesting US ships should pass for free in Suez Canal
US President Donald Trump on Saturday has sparked outrage on Egyptian media and online discussions after he said that US military and commercial vessels should be allowed free passage through the Suez Canal. 'American Ships, both Military and Commercial, should be allowed to travel, free of charge, through the Panama and Suez Canals! Those Canals would not exist without the United States of America,' Trump wrote on a Truth Social post. 'I've asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio to immediately take care of, and memorialize, this situation!,' he said. The Panama Canal is a narrow artificial waterway between North and South America that allows ships to quickly move between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, with 40 percent of US container traffic handled through it annually. Panama has had control of the canal since 1999, but Trump has repeatedly stated his desire to 'reclaim' it. Egyptian MP Mostafa Bakri commented on Trump's statement in a post on his X platform, saying that: 'Trump says; If it weren't for America, there wouldn't have been a Suez Canal. Under which context? When the Egyptians dug the Suez Canal between 1859 and 1869, America was barely in a nursery. It seems you need to read up on history.' 'Egypt will not accept this cheap blackmail. There are international rules that must be respected, Egyptian sovereignty that must not be violated, and Decree No. 30 of 1957 of the President of Egypt, setting ship transit fees, must be observed.' Bakri added in a separate post: 'I don't know on what basis US President Trump is demanding that US ships, both commercial and military, be allowed free passage through the Suez Canal? There is only one reason, in my opinion, which is the US's policy of bullying and blackmailing sovereign states. It is also blatant theft against an independent country and a member of the United Nations.' 'Mr. Trump, we are not a banana republic, or a new American state.'
