About this episode

The episode discusses insurance scams in the UAE, the role of technology in solving crimes, and highlights upcoming events like the Emirates Film Festival and Esports World Cup.

Has your car insurance gone up in recent years? It can be tempting to take the best deal out there, but sometimes when a price looks too good to be true, it often is.  That's the warning from the UAE Ministry of Interior who have alerted the public to social media accounts impersonating real insurance companies to scam people out of their hard-earned cash.  The Dubai Police solved a robbery case in Deira in just 10 minutes. Find out how technology played a major part here. What's the impact of automation on the more experienced workforce here in the UAE? UAE and international film makers will gather in Dubai this month of the Emirates Film Festival. And $75 million is up for grabs for this year's Esports World Cup.
