About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of regional tensions on daily life in Pakistan, child car seat usage in the UAE, road safety issues, and advancements in autonomous pod transport.

We take a look at how rising regional tensions here are starting to impact everyday life in Pakistan. Plus, it’s emerging that nearly one in three UAE parents are still not using child car seats despite the law. And, in separate data - dozens of road crashes in the UAE are linked to illegal drivers. Meanwhile, how would you like to glide to work in an autonomous pod that flows past traffic jams? We're one step closer to that becoming a reality thanks to a partnership between transport company Gldyways and Parkin. On a lighter note, we’re celebrating legendary wildlife broadcaster David Attenborough as he turns 100 today See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
