About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of online reviews in the UAE, food security challenges, and parenting during summer.

If you’ve got something negative to say, it’s best to err on the side of caution here in the UAE. A recent Abu Dhabi court case has found an influencer liable to pay more than AED 81,000 in compensation and fines over a social media video that was deemed to be defamatory.  Food and water security have been a top priority for authorities in the UAE, and for years now there has been a push to develop local agriculture and food production. Recent disruptions to global shipping have reminded us of the importance of secure supply chains and having diversified import sources. So what does food security actually look like on the ground?  And summer can be challenging for parents: how do you keep children entertained and still learning without them spending six weeks glued to a screen?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
