Dubai inmate gets Dh87,000 prosthetic after injuries from old, worn-out limb
A 41-year-old inmate in Dubai has received extensive medical care, including a new, custom-designed prosthetic limb, after arriving at the detention centre in poor physical condition.
The detainee, whose right foot had been amputated, was suffering from ulcers and wounds caused by a prosthetic limb he had been using for over 10 years.
The worn-out limb was ill-suited for his body and bone structure, leading to chronic pain, difficulty walking, and a severe decline in overall health and mobility.
Major General Marwan Abdul Karim Julfar, Director-General of Punitive and Correctional Institutions, confirmed that the detainee was promptly referred to a specialist for treatment. He was provided with "a new, high-quality prosthetic limb, valued at Dh87,133".
To ensure proper use of the new limb, the detainee was also enrolled in a six-month physiotherapy programme under the supervision of rehabilitation specialists. The initiative aims to help him regain mobility and improve his quality of life while within the correctional facility.
He added, "This care is not an exceptional case, but rather part of a series of humanitarian initiatives implemented periodically to ensure the dignity of detainees and inmates of both genders, and to provide a correctional environment based on health, psychological, and social care. He emphasised that human rights remain a top priority, regardless of the inmate's nationality or legal status.

The Adventure Gap: The Rise of the Boomerang Adventurer
The UK's over-50s are embracing adventure like never before, with new research revealing a quarter (25 per cent) consider themselves more adventurous in their 50s than they were in their 20s. The rise of golden years adventure has prompted new offerings within Post Office life insurance cover to ensure people have their future planned as well as their present. According to the new research from Post Office, 40 per cent regret not being more daring when they were younger. Now, they're making up for lost time. Nearly a quarter (23 per cent) of over-50s describe themselves as risk-takers, with men being 10 per cent more likely than women to hold this view (29 per cent v 19 per cent). Bristol tops the list with the highest proportion of over-50s risk-takers (30 per cent), followed by Southampton (28 per cent) and London (27 per cent). The enthusiasm for new experiences is clear, one in five (17 per cent) of over 50s dream of travelling to North America, with Asia (14 per cent), Africa (9 per cent) and South America (9 per cent) next on the list. Seeing the Northern Lights (32 per cent) is first on the bucket list, followed by going on safari (16 per cent) and learning a new language (16 per cent). However, the spirit of adventure hasn't always been easy to prioritise. Over half (56 per cent) of those polled have felt unable to be adventurous at certain points in their lives. The most common barriers stopping over-50s from pursuing adventure earlier in life included becoming a parent (27 per cent), suffering a health concern (20 per cent), and buying a house (17 per cent). Women have been disproportionately affected, with almost a third (32 per cent) saying parenthood put adventure on hold, almost 10 per cent more than men (22 per cent). The caregiving burden was also heavier on women, with nearly one in five women (19 per cent) feeling that their adventure was delayed due to caring for a family member, compared to just over one in 10 men (11 per cent). 50 marks a major milestone when people reclaim adventure. More than one in five (21 per cent) felt turning 50 allowed them to prioritise adventure again if they felt unable to focus on this at a previous point in their life. However, while many focus on their immediate desires, like adventure, they often overlook the importance of long-term planning. Nearly eight in ten (79 per cent) have invested in home insurance, but fewer take steps to safeguard their future through life insurance, with just 39 per cent having life insurance in place. This lack of preparation may be linked to the tendency of many over-50s to avoid thinking about negative events in the future. Under half (49 percent) admit to steering clear of such thoughts, with a quarter of them (26 percent) taking it so far as to avoid the topic altogether with no financial plan in place for the future. Post Office's Paul Paddock said: 'It's fantastic to see the over-50s embracing new experiences and re-seeking adventure. As with any new chapter preparation is key, and we urge everyone to research the different types of life insurance products that are available to them to ensure you have the right life and critical illness cover for you. Having the right life insurance in place means you can enjoy adventurous experiences, without unnecessary worry.'

Brooklyn Beckham family feud 'deeper than ever' despite brother Romeo's split from Kim Turnbull as it's revealed there is 'no way back'
The Beckham family feud is reportedly deeper than ever despite Romeo's recent split from his girlfriend Kim Turnbull. Kim, 26, had been at the centre of the rift after Nicola Peltz, 30, claimed that she felt uncomfortable around her, with sources close to the US heiress saying that Kim had dated Brooklyn when they were teenagers. However even with Kim now out the picture The Mirror have revealed it would take a 'small miracle' to fix the fall out and there is 'no going back'. A source told the publication: 'There are no signs of reconciliation, sadly. There is still a lot of hurt to process.' Sources close to Nicola previously insisted that as 'an outsider coming into the Beckham family, she has helped Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behaviour within'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Kim, 26, had been at the centre of the rift after Nicola Peltz claimed that she felt uncomfortable around her, with sources close to the US heiress saying that Kim had dated Brooklyn when they were teenagers And despite friends of David and Victoria describing these claims as 'patently untrue and ludicrous' there is reportedly no hope for peace talks. The source added: 'It was a low, low can you say such things about your own family. It will be interesting to see if Brooklyn and Nicola make any attempt to heal things now Kim is out of the picture.' MailOnline have contacted Brooklyn and Nicola's representatives as well as those of the Beckhams. It comes as it was also revealed that David is to be awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honour's List after being snubbed for years. The former Manchester United and England star, who recently celebrated his milestone 50th birthday, will be confirmed as a 'Sir' when the list is released next week, according to The Sun. His wife and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham will be known as Lady Beckham. On Wednesday The Mail revealed Romeo and Kim had parted ways. Friends said that things remain 'amicable' between the couple and that their parting is 'nothing to do' with Kim being blamed by Nicola for being the catalyst for the feud that has ripped the Beckham family apart. Kim and Brooklyn were undeniably close for a brief period – as photographs of them together at the time show - but suggestions that they were ever an item are wide of the mark, according to well-informed sources. This prior relationship was the reason Brooklyn and Nicola gave for not attending any of David's celebrations. That Kim has now been 'thrown to the wolves' as the reason behind the family row is 'deeply upsetting' to Brooklyn's parents and brothers. Earlier this week Brooklyn revealed that he's looking forward to starting a family with wife Nicola, as tensions continue to simmer between him and his parents. During a new PDA-packed video released by Glamour Magazine, the eldest son of Victoria and David gushed multiple times that he can see kids in his future, and that Nicola will be an 'amazing' mother. In the loved-up clip the pair couldn't hide their excitement about their future together as Brooklyn gushed: 'I see us when we have our kids,' and Nicola added: 'I see the future father of my kids.' Brooklyn and Nicola also hinted at the ongoing unrest with Brooklyn's family in the interview. The couple opened up about outside interference in their marriage and hinted at worsening relations with the Beckham clan, as they instead focused on the advice they'd received from Nicola's billionaire parents, Nelson and Claudia Peltz. Brooklyn appeared to deliberately omit mentioning his family, as he shared an alternative meaning behind the name of his hot sauce, Cloud23. The aspiring chef's representative told last week how the number 23 was a 'warm nod' to David, who wore number 23 while playing for Real Madrid and LA Galaxy, inspired by NBA legend Michael Jordan, in a touching move that appeared to be an olive branch to his father. However, in the new interview, Brooklyn failed to mention his father, simply stating: 'The 23 stands for our engagement date and my age back then.' Elsewhere in the interview, he and Nicola also seemed to hint at interference in their relationship and the ongoing reports of the family feud. When asked how they 'protect' their relationship in the spotlight, Brooklyn stated: 'Ignore the noise. Keep your head down, work hard, be kind. People are always going to talk. What matters is that we're happy together.' While Brooklyn was present at Victoria's 50th, both he and his wife failed to make an appearance at her 51st. More poignantly the couple did not attend his father David's 50th birthday celebration in May. And while his younger brothers Romeo and Cruz took to social media to pay their birthday tributes to their parents, on both occasions Brooklyn stayed silent. Brooklyn appeared to nail his loyalties to the mast when he posted an image on Instagram of himself and Nicola riding a motorbike, writing: 'My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby.' And amid the continuing fallout from their feuding it is clear that Brooklyn has now cast himself as the 'wife guy', someone who does everything as a tribute to his spouse, and that the Brooklyn/Nicola partnership is his new brand.
