Women's Fertility Takes Centre Stage at Second ‘Freeze the Moment' Ladies Night
Following the overwhelming success of the first Egg Freezing Ladies Night, Compound and IVF Support UAE are proud to host the next community-led event with over 100 women expected to attend on Thursday 26th June from 6:00pm – 9:00pm at Kanpai, Souk Al Bahar, Downtown Dubai.
Designed to educate and empower women in a relaxed and sociable setting, this unique event puts the spotlight on egg freezing, a topic that remains under-discussed despite growing interest. With over 80 attendees at the first event, the format has proven to be a welcomed, stigma-free space where women can learn, connect and feel supported.
Revolutionising the assisted conception journey, the event allows women to learn about egg-freezing and discover more about the process for individuals and couples from experts in an informal atmosphere. Experts at the event will include representatives from Ferticlinic and Fakih IVF who will offer guidance and expertise, as well as IVF Support UAE founder, Cassie Destino who has been through the journey herself.
In true Ladies Night style, the event promises an evening of welcome drinks, pampering treats and other fun, interactive activities in a warm, welcoming environment.
Cassie Destino, Founder of IVF Support UAE, said: 'We believe that access to fertility information should be empowering, inclusive and judgement-free. The success of our first event confirmed just how needed these conversations are, and we are so proud to help lead them here in the region'.
Also in attendance will be Compound, a financial wellness platform reshaping the way we think about spending and saving. In a world where debt has long been incentivised, Compound is flipping the script and partnering with brands to reward consumers for saving toward future purchases rather than relying on credit. By encouraging early commitment and loyalty, they're creating a system where both consumers and merchants can thrive. Their presence brings a fresh and thought-provoking angle to the evening's focus on planning for the future.

Box Office: ‘F1' Revs to $144 Million Globally, ‘Lilo & Stitch' Nears $950 Million Milestone
Brad Pitt's original racing drama 'F1' drove to the top of the box office charts, collecting a sizable $88.4 million internationally and $144 million globally in its opening weekend. The film, from director Joseph Kosinski and producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Formula One champ Lewis Hamilton, follows a retired driver (Pitt) who returns to the popular motorsport to coach a cocksure rookie (Damson Idris) and save a failing team. Outside of the U.S. and Canada, where 'F1' zoomed to $55.6 million, the top-earning territories were the United Kingdom with $9.2 million, China with $9 million and Mexico with $6.7 million. More from Variety 'M3GAN 2.0' Star Allison Williams on Making The Android an 'Action Star' and Crafting Another Unforgettable Musical Moment Brad Pitt's 'F1' Delivers Apple's First Box Office Hit With $55.6 Million Debut, 'M3GAN 2.0' Fizzles With $10 Million 'M3GAN 2.0' Costume Designer on How Farrah Fawcett and Judy Jetson Inspired M3GAN's Armor 'F1' marks the first commercial win for Apple, which has previously backed underperforming big screen offerings like 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' 'Napoleon' and 'Argylle.' Against a nearly $250 million production budget and massive marketing spend, 'F1' will need significantly more ticket sales to break even and turn a theatrical profit. But this is Apple's closest attempt to all-audience blockbuster status and will soon overtake 'Napoleon' ($221 million globally) as the company's highest-grossing release. And 'F1' is expected to benefit in the coming weeks from solid reviews, positive word-of-mouth and Imax screens before landing on the company's streamer, Apple TV+. Since Apple doesn't have a distribution arm, the tech giant is paying Warner Bros. to put the film in theaters; the Burbank-based studio will also receive a percentage of theatrical revenues that increases with certain box office benchmarks. 'F1' also represents a victory for Imax, whose cameras were used to film the ultra-immersive, high-speed racing sequences. Imax screens accounted for $11.1 million overseas and $27.7 million globally, representing 19% of overall revenues — the fourth-highest percentage in Imax's history. ''F1' has inspired audiences around the globe with its underdog story and perfect blend of high-octane racing and human-centered storytelling,' says Apple's head of worldwide video Zack Van Amburg. 'The film's outstanding debut reflects both the excitement of Formula 1 and the deeply emotional and entertaining story crafted by the entire cast and creative team. Their dedication and innovation have fueled an unforgettable cinematic experience.' In terms of other newcomers, Universal and Blumhouse's A.I. thriller 'M3GAN 2.0' flatlined with $7 million from 80 international markets. Mexico earned a leading $1.2 million, followed by the U.K. and Ireland with $700,000 and Brazil with $400,000. Along with $10.2 million domestically, 'M3GAN 2.0' has grossed a soft $17 million in its first weekend of release. With weak reviews and seemingly diminished audience interest, the campy horror sequel failed to achieve the box office heights of 2023's 'M3GAN,' which ignited to $15 million overseas and $45 million globally. The original became a sleeper hit with $180 million worldwide, which explains the studio's justification for the follow-up film set around the scream queen who became a meme queen. Fortunately for the studio, 'M3GAN 2.0' cost a modest $25 million, so potential theatrical losses won't be too painful. Plus, Universal is flying high with 'How to Train Your Dragon,' which added $32 million internationally in its third frame. The live-action remake has earned $254 million overseas and $454 million worldwide to date, underscoring the enduring appeal of the fantastical property. Universal has the live-action sequel set for 2027. PG films have been dominating at the box office with 'Lilo & Stitch' adding $13.1 million from 52 markets for a massive overseas tally of $545 million. After six weekends on the big screen, the live-action 'Lilo & Stitch' is about to cross the $950 million milestone (with $946 million globally so far) and has $1 billion on the horizon. A live-action sequel to 'Lilo & Stitch' is also in the works. Not every movie with a family friendly rating is electrifying the box office. Disney's original Pixar adventure 'Elio' brought in just $11.4 million from 48 territories in its sophomore outing. After notching the worst start in Pixar history, 'Elio' has grossed $30 million overseas and $73 million worldwide. Though positive word-of-mouth should help the film endure throughout the summer, 'Elio' is nowhere near on track to earn enough to justify its $150 million production budget.

Turkey's spy chief meets Hamas to push for Gaza ceasefire and aid access
Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin met with senior Hamas officials on Sunday to discuss Gaza's worsening humanitarian crisis and renewed efforts to reach a ceasefire, according to the state-run Anadolu Agency. Kalin held the talks with Mohammad Darwish, head of Hamas's political council, at an undisclosed location. Security sources told Anadolu the discussion focused on securing aid access and stopping the war. The parties also stressed the need for unity among Palestinian factions and outlined steps towards a lasting ceasefire in the besieged enclave. The meeting followed remarks by US President Donald Trump, who said on Friday a ceasefire deal could be reached 'within the next week.' Talks have dragged on for months, with famine warnings mounting after Israel halted food deliveries to Gaza for over two months. Food trucks have since resumed movement under a controversial scheme involving US contractors and Israeli oversight. But Palestinians have continued to be killed while attempting to retrieve aid, according to local witnesses and officials.
