Nippon TV announces Arabic adaptation of ‘Woman – My Life for My Children' by Medyapim
The new adapted series, titled 'Salma' will premiere on MBC1 and stream on Shahid. Medyapim's Arabic-language adaptation of Nippon TV's drama Woman – My Life for My Children is set to debut across the Middle East and North Africa on August 17, airing on MBC1 and streaming on Shahid. Titled Salma, the series spans 90 episodes and marks Medyapim's third drama for MBC, following earlier adaptations of BBC Studios' Doctor Foster and the Turkish hit War of the Roses. Based on the original drama penned by Yuji Sakamoto and produced by Hisashi Tsugiya, the story follows the struggles of a single mother whose unwavering love for her children drives her to persevere against overwhelming odds. Medyapim previously adapted the format in Turkey as Kadin, which ran for three seasons and sold to more than 60 international markets. Keisuke Miyata, Scripted Format Licensing at Nippon TV, said: 'The heartfelt story penned by Yuji Sakamoto and produced by Nippon TV has already reached the hearts of audiences in an astonishing 60-plus countries through the superb adaptation by Turkey's Medyapim. This time, we look forward that our story will reach deep into the souls of the Arabic audience through Salma. Salma's struggle to survive and to forge a path for herself as a woman amidst all odds and many tribulations will surely pull viewers deep into her life story that ultimately leads her to happiness because she followed the voice of her heart.' Fatih Aksoy, Chairman of Medyapim, added: 'When I first adapted Nippon TV's drama Woman in Turkey, it was my mother who inspired me at every step. In her strength, I saw the quiet resilience shared by millions of women like the one at the heart of this story. My mother was a Turkish woman of Arab descent. And now, to have brought this series to life once more in my mother's native language is profoundly exciting for me.' Tareq Al-Ibrahim, Director of MBC1, MBC Drama and SVOD content at Shahid, stated: 'This collaboration depicts the true power of storytelling that transcends borders and cultures. Salma is a meaningful example of how diverse voices can come together to create stories that resonate universally. Through Nippon TV and Medyapim, the series has honoured its Japanese roots and Turkish evolution, and now with MBC Group on board, we are excited to be bringing a local and authentic essence to Arab audiences. This production is proof of what can be achieved when creative forces from different parts of the world unite around a shared human experience.'

Minister of Interior: Those 8 months led to a 'turning point' for Saudi women
Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — Saudi Interior Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud has revealed the details of the discussions and follow-ups in the run-up to the historic decision to allow women in Saudi Arabia to drive. Speaking on MBC1, the Interior Minister highlighted the hectic preparations that preceded the implementation of this important decision. "Those eight months led to a turning for point for Saudi women," he said. Prince Abdulaziz shed light on his meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman after the decision was made to allow women to drive, saying: 'His Highness called me in Jeddah and informed me that he had made a decision after studying it and was heading to allow women to drive. He asked me: How much preparation do you need at the Ministry of Interior? I asked him for time until the next day to review the relevant team. After extensive discussions with the ministry's leaders in secret, we found that we needed between eight months to a year to implement the decision in the best possible way.' 'Crown Prince asked me to make a presentation on the needs at the Ministry of Interior. We presented the full vision and received his great support to complete the task on time. During this period, we established driving schools, put in place the necessary systems, and the journey began,' he said in an interview with MBC1's 'Hekayat Waad' program. 'We were in the car heading to the palace, and going to any meeting was a challenge for me personally, because I didn't drive, and I had to rely on a friend or colleague to drive me,' recalled Shihana Al-Azzaz, an advisor to the royal court, recalling the moment the decision was announced. 'Suddenly, a colleague called and said, 'Congratulations, the decision to allow women to drive has been issued.' It was an exceptional and unexpected moment.' Adwa Al-Arifi, Assistant Minister of Sports for Sports Affairs, spoke about her personal experience, saying: 'I was in Russia to attend the 2018 World Cup, but the news that women would be allowed to drive prompted me to return to Saudi Arabia immediately. I had an international license, and the first thing I did after arriving was drive a car. I felt freedom and independence for the first time.' She noted that the decision was real empowerment for women in the workplace, adding: 'I was part of the Formula E team in 2018, and moving from one location to another was essential to get the job done. If I wasn't able to drive, it would have been a huge hindrance to my work. The decision allowed us to move freely and smoothly, without having to have a driver or wait for someone to drive us, which boosted our productivity and made it easier to perform our professional tasks.'
