DUBAI EYE 103.8
About this episode

We mark nine months of the Year of the Community by exploring how semi-skilled and unskilled workers in the UAE are being supported to turn crochet and jewellery-making into extra income.

We speak to the founder of Kapes about their latest initiative donating school uniforms to girls in Togo, in partnership with UAE schools.

Meanwhile, researchers unveil an AI-powered stethoscope that can detect heart failure, valve disease, and dangerous heart rhythms in seconds.

And as wasp populations surge across Europe, experts explain why we need to rethink our relationship with these misunderstood insects.

Plus, it’s the 1st of September -the start of the Ber months - and like our sister station Tag 91.1, we’re getting into the Christmas spirit early!
