Passing doctors tried to save life of Saudi student stabbed in Cambridge, UK court hears
Doctors tried to save the life of a student from Saudi Arabia after he was stabbed in the neck and lay bleeding to death in the English city of Cambridge, a court was told. Mohammed Yousef Alqassem, 20, was killed while he was on a 10-week placement at an English language school in Cambridge. Chas Corrigan, 21, appeared in court on Wednesday charged with the murder of Mr Alqassem and was refused bail. His trial has been set for February next year. Prosecutor Gavin Burrell told Cambridge Crown Court that the victim collapsed after sustaining an 11.5cm wound to his neck, which pierced his jugular vein. 'The victim bled out and died of haemorrhaging at the scene. Junior doctors who were nearby tried to assist,' said Mr Burrell. Defence barrister Shahnawaz Khan said the accused was born and brought up in Cambridge and worked as a landscaper. Mr Corrigan intends to plead not guilty, said the barrister. Cambridgeshire Police have said that its officers were called to Mill Park in the town at 11.27pm on Friday following reports of violence. Mr Alqassem's family are in Cambridge to bring his body back to Saudi Arabia, his uncle Majed Abalkhail told The National. 'Mohammed's father is currently in Cambridge, accompanied by some of his brothers, to follow up on the procedures for bringing Mohammed home, in co-ordination with the Saudi embassy,' he said. Mr Abalkhail, who has said he believed the UK is no longer safe for visitors, paid tribute to his nephew. 'He had dreams of studying medicine and came to the UK with a heart full of hope and a passion for learning. Unfortunately, his journey ended in tragedy. His family and community are devastated by this horrific loss.'

Oman: ROP to receive complaints on direct debits
MUSCAT: The Royal Oman Police (ROP) said it will receive complaints related to the non-cancellable direct debit tool under the National Payment Systems Law issued by Royal Decree No 8/2018, and related laws, through police stations in various governorates of the Sultanate of Oman. For this law, a direct debit means a payment order issued to debit the payer's bank account for the benefit of the beneficiary, at the latter's request. The regulations shall specify the provisions relating to direct debit, including its conditions, rules and procedures. Article 33: A person may issue a direct debit order in settlement of a debt owed by him. This order may be revocable or irrevocable, as specified in the regulations. Article 34: The person issuing the direct debit order shall guarantee payment of its value, and any condition exempting them from this guarantee shall be deemed null and void. Article 35: It is not permissible to refrain from paying the value of a direct debit order if it has sufficient funds to pay, even if the deadline for submission has expired. If the drawee bank refrains from paying the value of the direct debit order, it must prove the refusal and the reason for it by issuing a statement stating the time the direct debit order was submitted and the amount due. This statement must be dated, written and signed by the person issuing it. It is not permissible to refrain from issuing the statement mentioned in the previous paragraph upon the beneficiary's request. 2025 © All right reserved for Oman Establishment for Press, Publication and Advertising (OEPPA) Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

Oman: 226 vehicles removed to protect Dhofar's green plains
SALALAH: As part of a joint operation between the Environment Authority, the Royal Oman Police and Dhofar Municipality, the 'Environmental Protectors' campaign continues its field activities during the Khareef Dhofar Season 2025. The initiative aims to safeguard the governorate's unique green cover and protect its fragile ecosystem amid a surge in seasonal tourism. According to the campaign's latest field report, a total of 226 vehicles were removed from green plains across various locations in Dhofar between July 25 and 31, 2025, due to environmental violations involving off-road driving in restricted areas. Additionally, four dirt roads were closed after they were found to cause environmental damage and pose safety risks to visitors. The teams also dealt with three vehicles that had slipped and become stuck in waterlogged terrain. The campaign is part of a broader initiative launched earlier by the Environment Authority under the banner of 'Environmental Protectors'. The campaign has been reinforced this season with the deployment of four additional monitoring teams supporting operations in Salalah, Taqah and Mirbat, in addition to the existing enforcement units in other wilayats. 2025 © All right reserved for Oman Establishment for Press, Publication and Advertising (OEPPA) Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
