Emirates sets new rules for power banks on board from October 1
Using any kind of power bank is prohibited onboard Emirates' flights, effective from October 1, 2025, the airline has said in a statement. Emirates customers are still permitted to carry one power bank onboard with specific conditions listed below, but the power banks may not be used while in the aircraft cabin — neither to charge devices from the power bank, nor to be charged themselves using the aircrafts' power source.
Emirates' new regulations include:
Emirates customers may carry one power bank that is under 100 Watt Hours.
Power banks may not be used to charge any personal devices onboard.
Charging a power bank using the aircraft's power supply is not permitted.
All power banks accepted for transport must have capacity rating information available.
Power banks may not be placed in the overhead stowage bin onboard the aircraft and must now be placed in the seat pocket or in a bag under the seat in front of you.
Power banks are not permitted in checked luggage (existing rule).

AI video tool that creates 'original series' in minutes sparks fear of replacing scriptwriters and creatives
Filmmakers, industry experts and students in the UAE are voicing concerns that artificial intelligence could strip cinema of its human touch and threaten creative careers. The warnings come after Fable, a company backed by Amazon, unveiled Showrunner, an AI platform described as the 'Netflix of AI' that allows users to generate fully animated series using simple text prompts. Users can create episodes by writing dialogue, prompting scenes and developing characters, with the AI handling everything from animation to voiceovers. In the UAE, filmmakers and students are divided, with some seeing AI as a valuable creative assistant, while others warn it risks producing generic, soulless content and undermining career paths for young storytellers. Currently on limited release, Showrunner is expected to become widely available in the coming months The launch has reignited debate over whether AI will democratise storytelling by removing production barriers or disrupt the collaborative craft that has defined filmmaking for more than a century. Prof Peter Bentley, computer scientist and AI creativity expert at University College London, said the latest platform makes it 'remarkably quick and easy' to create new works, provided they closely resemble existing ones. 'Creative and highly innovative outputs are not going to be so easy,' he told The National. How it works Showrunner works by letting users input short text prompts, from a few sentences describing characters and setting to more detailed scene-by-scene scripts. The AI then generates storyboards, animates characters, voices dialogue and stitches it all together into watchable episodes. Users can either create original series or customise templates of existing shows such as Exit Valley, a Silicon Valley satire, or South Park -style animations. Access is currently restricted to a select group of creators testing the platform, with only a small library of prebuilt series available to modify. While the AI can quickly generate plotlines and character arcs, it works best when those stories resemble familiar formats and genres, a limitation Professor Bentley says still keeps it far from replacing traditional filmmaking. Fable has said broader access is expected in the coming months, prompting debate over whether these tools are already capable of producing watchable, formula-driven seasons or if they remain in their early experimental phase. Filmmakers' fears Faisal Hashmi, a UAE-based director and co-writer of the upcoming City of Life 2, said platforms such as Showrunner risk removing human vision from the filmmaking process. 'These tools are designed to undermine traditional narrative craftsmanship,' he told The National. 'What is film if not the vision of a storyteller using their own experiences to make you feel something? If you remove that process, is it really a film any more?' Some experiments, such as the AI-generated short film The Ghost in My Machine, showcase the technology's potential for speed and visual novelty, though critics say such pieces often lack emotional subtlety. Mr Hashmi believes audiences will eventually reject AI-only content, though he sees potential for AI to support, rather than replace, filmmakers. He has used AI for storyboarding and visual effects. 'If AI aids the process rather than replaces you,' he said, 'it has a place in filmmaking.' Prof Bentley echoed this, saying AI cannot yet match the originality of a human storyteller. 'We need creative people to make the outputs truly watchable,' he said. Will we need filmmakers? Razan Takash, filmmaker and head of film at SAE University, Dubai, said AI shortcuts essential learning for aspiring filmmakers. ''Instead of learning filmmaking, they're learning film prompting,' she told The National. She compared it to weightlifting: 'You can't prompt somebody else to lift the weight for you and expect to become a bodybuilder.' Ms Takash said AI could offer opportunities to those who understand filmmaking but lack resources. However, she warned that as access becomes widespread, originality could be lost. 'Eventually, everybody's going to have the opportunity to make this kind of content,' she said. 'So no one is special, and it is going to be hard to stand out. We can compare this to the early days of streaming and YouTubers.' Prof Bentley also noted that most AI-generated content is derivative, trained on the work of human artists, which raises copyright concerns. 'Artists may need to license their work for use by AIs, or consider legal action against companies that use it without permission,' he said. No humanity Nada Majdalawieh, a UAE-based master's student in TV and screenwriting at Stephens College in Los Angeles, said students are already worried about how AI will affect their careers. 'Storytelling is inherently human and the idea of replacing that with something generated feels like a step backwards rather than forward,' she told The National. She added that if AI tools take over those creative roles, 'we're not just talking about streamlining a process, we're eliminating entire career paths for creatives who've been working years to find themselves in this industry'. Ms Majdalawieh said AI could eventually automate everything from scriptwriting to directing. 'These aren't distant hypotheticals,' she said. 'They're real concerns already looming over us as students. We can all feel it, and honestly, it's scary.' New access for creators Mohammed Mamdouh, filmmaker and assistant professor of film and new media design at the American University of Sharjah, offered a more optimistic view. He said AI can empower voices previously locked out of the industry. 'AI-generated shows and films empower storytellers who might otherwise be sidelined,' he told The National. 'That's a radical shift in access.' Mr Mamdouh described AI as transformative rather than destructive, calling it 'not the death of cinema' but rather 'the rebirth.' However, he cautioned that AI could compromise filmmaking's collaborative spirit. When the director 'becomes the sole engine prompting alone', he said, the rich dynamic of working alongside production designers, cinematographers and sound artists may start to erode. Industry outlook The AI market in the film industry is projected to grow from $1.28 billion in 2024 to $1.6 billion in 2025 and reach approximately $14 billion by 2033, according to The Business Research Company. The wider AI in the media and entertainment sector is expected to rise from $25.98 billion this year to nearly $99.48 billion by 2030. In the Middle East and North Africa, subscription video-on-demand revenue is forecast to hit $1.5 billion by the end of 2025, driven by platforms such as Shahid, Netflix, YouTube Premium and StarzPlay, according to Omdia, a consultancy firm specialising in technology and media. Analysts say AI could lower production costs and accelerate localisation, while Hollywood studios are already testing hybrid models that blend human creativity with AI-generated visuals. Future of storytelling While the technology gains momentum globally, UAE filmmakers and students remain cautious about fully adopting it. Mr Hashmi believes the pendulum will eventually swing back. 'People will crave original stories made by human beings,' he said. Ms Majdalawieh said students face an uncertain path ahead. 'Filmmaking opportunities will still exist for a while,' she said. 'But there's a growing uncertainty about how long that will last.' Mr Mamdouh said filmmakers must help shape AI's role in storytelling rather than resist it. 'We must shape the future,' he said, 'rather than let it shape us.' On whether AI can truly replicate human emotion, Prof Bentley was sceptical: 'If you don't mind unoriginal and rather drab content, then it will be fine for you. Sounds a bit like many Hollywood movies, so maybe there is a place for AI there.' His advice to creatives and educators: 'Reality is always better than imitation, and AI can only imitate us.'

My Dubai Rent: Entrepreneur pays Dh113,000 for one-bedroom apartment in Wasl 51
My Dubai Rent takes you inside a reader's home to have a look at what they get for their money, how much they pay in rent and asks them what they like and don't like Russian entrepreneur Olga Sukhanova, who owns a commercial and hospitality property company, has lived in Dubai for almost four years and has found her dream apartment. She cannot buy it – even though she wants to – because it is in Jumeirah 1, an area where only people from the Gulf can purchase property. However, because she has been paying Dh113,000 a year for three years, she is happy to continue renting for as long as she lives alone and can make the place her own. The National takes a look around. Please tell us about where you live This community is low-rise, with just three levels, and I like the layouts because they're huge. I have a one-bedroom, but the size is 1,500 square feet. I also have a terrace. Why did you choose this neighbourhood? I lived before in Madinat Jumeirah Living, but then I moved to Jumeirah 1 because I really like this area. Before, I worked in DIFC, that's why it was important to live close to my work, because it's just 10 minutes by car. It's also very important to me to live close to the sea, because this is the value of Dubai. The sea is a five-minute walk away. I also like that it is a quieter, more authentic area. How much do you pay? It's Dh113,000 per year. I rent from the developer, which is good because they haven't changed the price in three years. I also have the opportunity to pay monthly because of the developer. We have an app where I can ask all my questions and send my request for maintenance – they solve any problem. What facilities do you have? We have a gym and a swimming pool. There are lots of really modern cafes around the community. It's very modern, for hipsters I think. I like it because I can just walk across the road and there are lots of opportunities to eat lunch and dinner. The quality of the cafes is very good, so you can just sit and enjoy it. How have you made the apartment feel like home? All the apartments here are unfurnished. That's why I've organised everything how I like it. It depends usually on my mood, because I've changed it a few times. For example, I've changed the colour of the walls to make it lighter. That's why I like it unfurnished – I can choose and change and I don't have to ask permission during the rental period. Is there anything you'd change about the apartment or neighbourhood? Actually, no. Sometimes I think, for example, one month before I have to send a request to extend my rental, whether I will move. But then I think, where can I move that I can find the same qualities and the same size for the same price? In my opinion, there is no other alternative in Dubai. Would you consider buying? I would love to buy if I have the opportunity. I would buy this apartment, but it's impossible for foreign people. How long do you plan to stay here? I don't know. It depends on the future. If someone proposes to me and I get married, I will maybe move to a bigger apartment. For now, I will stay here because it's more than enough for a young single woman.

UAE and Russia sign deal to boost $11.5bn trade relations
The UAE and Russia have signed a Trade in Services and Investment Agreement (TISIA), marking a significant step in strengthening bilateral economic ties and expanding foreign direct investment (FDI) flows between the two nations. The signing took place in Moscow during the visit of Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, who met with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss ways of deepening cooperation across areas of mutual interest. The agreement was signed by Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of Foreign Trade, and Maxim Reshetnikov, Russian Minister of Economic Development. UAE-Russia trade While the existing Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) focuses on trade in goods, the new TISIA provides a dedicated bilateral framework with Russia, targeting high-growth services sectors such as: Fintech Healthcare Transport Logistics Professional services Al Zeyoudi said the services and investment agreement with Russia, coupled with the recently signed Economic Partnership Agreement with the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, reflects a significant strengthening of our foreign trade network. UAE–Russia non-oil trade reached $11.5bn in 2024, up 4.9 per cent from 2023, and surged 75.3 per cent year-on-year in H1 2025, underscoring the rapid growth in bilateral commerce. The TISIA aligns with the UAE's Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) programme, a cornerstone of its foreign trade strategy. The CEPA programme aims to grow the United Arab Emirates' non-oil foreign trade to $1.1tn by 2031, building on a record $816bn in 2024, a 14.6 per cent increase year-on-year. By easing market access, fostering investment, and creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs, the UAE–Russia TISIA reinforces both nations' commitment to long-term economic collaboration and strengthens the United Arab Emirates' role as a global trade hub.
