Oil spill fears near Iran hub

DUBAI EYE 103.8
About this episode

A suspected oil spill has been spotted near Iran’s key export hub - raising fresh concerns about the environmental and economic impact of the conflict.

The ripple effects are also being felt far beyond the region. We’ll cross to Sri Lanka, where electricity prices are rising by 18 percent today as the energy crisis deepens and Asia is facing a plastic shortage as the conflict disrupts supply chains.

And here in the UAE - as any parent will know - children are back in school. We're all hoping that's the last time we'll have to do distance learning - but how realistic is that?

Plus Abu Dhabi is banning delivery motorcycles from high-speed roads - we'll ask a safety expert whether this will reduce accidents.

And while the Wynn Al Marjan Island might be facing slight delays - Ras Al Khaimah is taking tourism to new heights with plans to launch astronaut-style training experiences.
