Gusty Winds and Dust Bring Visibility Risks Across UAE

Arabian Post Staff (https://thearabianpost.com/search/arabian+post+staff?orderby=DSC) -Dubai The National Centre of Meteorology issued an advisory este morn for southeasterly winds gusting up to 40 km/h across the UAE, leading to heavy dust and sand lifting in internal and coastal areas. The conditions are expected to significantly reduce horizontal visibility—at times below 2,000 metres—between roughly 08:45 and 17:00. Abu Dhabi Police cautioned motorists to drive with care, maintain low speeds, and avoid distractions like using phones or filming while on the move. Winds forecast for the day have already led to hazy skies over urban centres, with dust clouds drifting across highways and neighbourhoods. Officials warn that compromised visibility on roads will heighten accident risks, prompting emergency services to remain on alert. Abu Dhabi Police reinforced the message, urging: “Drivers to remain alert and reduce speed … For your safety and the safety of others on the road, please avoid using mobile phones or taking videos while driving.” The statement formed part of a broader appeal urging residents to secure outdoor items and stay informed via official channels.

Open‑source digiKam add‑on sharpens AI handling in 8.7 release

digiKam’s 8.7.0 update foregrounds artificial intelligence enhancements, integrating tools that tackle everyday pain points in photo management. Key features include bolstered facial recognition workflows, hardware‑accelerated processing, and a novel AI‑driven image auto‑rotation utility — moves that position digiKam as a free contender in the AI photo management space. Face recognition has undergone targeted refinement. The system now initiates automatic scans when a user confirms or tags a face, streamlining management through proactive detection. In cases of misidentification, rejected suggestions are retained by the software, enabling it to propose the next-best match — an increment in precision notably absent in prior versions. Under the surface, digiKam continues to leverage its cross‑validating KNN and SVM classifier ensemble, originally introduced in version 8.6.0, which now exhibits further acceleration and reduced false positives. The adoption of GPU acceleration marks another stride. Users can now verify compatibility and performance via a built‑in OpenCL/CUDA test in Settings, ensuring that pipelines such as face detection, resizing, and colour conversion tap into GPU performance where available. The update supports OpenCV’s OpenCL layer and NVIDIA’s cuDNN via CUDA. A Full Story https://thearabianpost.com/?p=105500

Mozilla VPN Lands on Every Linux Desk

Linux users can now install Mozilla VPN via Flatpak on Flathub, opening the way for seamless cross‑distribution deployment. The move elevates the privacy-centric VPN’s reach beyond Debian-based systems, where it was previously limited by Debian packages, addressing long-standing accessibility challenges. Bringing Mozilla VPN to Flatpak aligns with growing demand for universal packaging solutions across diverse desktop environments. Previously, users on distros like Fedora, Arch and openSUSE had to compile the client from source if not on Ubuntu derivatives. The new Flatpak, officially published by Mozilla, offers an easier route for installation—even though Flathub’s verification process is still underway, meaning some distributions will hide the unverified app until it’s signed off. The Flatpak version harnesses the advantages of sandboxing—each application runs in an isolated environment, reducing the risk associated with vulnerabilities—though experts caution that no sandbox system is entirely impervious and emphasise the importance of reviewing permissions and verifying digital signatures. For administrators managing mixed-distro environments, the convenience of a single install method carries significant operational weight. Under the hood, Mozilla VPN continues to use WireGuard, delivering high-speed and efficient encryption Full Story https://thearabianpost.com/?p=105493

Texas search efforts halted as fresh storms sweep Hill Country

Emergency crews have paused operations in Kerr County today following a new surge of torrential rain across Central Texas that renewed flood risks and prompted evacuations. Authorities withdrew search teams from river corridors, citing a high likelihood of flash flooding. The decision came as weather alerts signalled up to two inches of rainfall per hour in parts of Kerrville and along the Guadalupe River, overwhelming swollen tributaries and raising the threat level for crews working in the region. Sheriff’s personnel and fire department officials issued door‑to‑door warnings and activated emergency alerts early Sunday to hasten evacuations from low‑lying zones and roads prone to overtopping. Statewide, the second round of storms extinguished search operations underway since the flash floods of July 4, which inflicted catastrophic damage across multiple counties and claimed at least 132 lives. Kerr County remains the hardest‑hit, with more than 160 individuals still unaccounted for. The weather’s intensification halted searches for victims along the Guadalupe River, though crews managed to resume efforts later in the afternoon in western parts of Kerr County once conditions abated. Elsewhere, counties such Full Story https://thearabianpost.com/?p=105492

DP World Secures 30‐Year Deal to Revitalise Tartus Port

DP World has finalised a 30‑year concession worth US $800 million to modernise and operate the port of Tartus on Syria’s Mediterranean coast, as per official statements issued on 13 July 2025. The agreement, inked in Damascus between DP World and Syria’s General Authority for Land and Sea Ports, was witnessed by Syrian President Ahmed al‑Sharaa, along with DP World’s Chairman and Group CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem and Qutaiba Ahmed Badawi, chairman of the port authority. The deal follows a memorandum of understanding signed in May, and comes in the wake of Washington’s recent move to lift US sanctions on Syria, which paved the way for renewed international investment. DP World will fund and execute significant upgrades at Tartus, Syria’s second‑largest port, enhancing its capacity to handle containers, roll‑on/roll‑off and breakbulk cargo, under a build‑operate‑transfer model fully owned by the company. Sultan bin Sulayem highlighted the strategic importance of the port, calling it “a vital gateway” to Southern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa that can support resilient supply chains and spur regional economic stability.

UAE Secures Dominant Role in Azerbaijan Gulf Trade

Arabian Post Staff (https://thearabianpost.com/search/arabian+post+staff?orderby=DSC) -Dubai UAE’s new Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement with Azerbaijan has catapulted bilateral non‑oil trade to unprecedented levels, now accounting for half of Azerbaijan’s commerce with Gulf Cooperation Council countries. This landmark pact promises to mould economic trajectories for both nations by 2031. Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of Foreign Trade, revealed that non‑oil trade surged by 36.2 percent in 2024, reaching US $2.24 billion—equivalent to 50 percent of Azerbaijan’s trade with the GCC. This accomplishment is underpinned by a robust 4.1 percent expansion in Azerbaijan’s overall GDP and a 6.3 percent rise in its non‑oil sector. Signed in Abu Dhabi with the presence of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, CEPA is expected to inject US $680 million into UAE GDP and US $300 million into Azerbaijan by 2031. It further cements the UAE’s status as Azerbaijan’s top Arab investor, with cumulative UAE investments now exceeding US $1 billion. The CEPA supports strategic priorities in manufacturing, automotive, agriculture, logistics, and financial services, with planned expansion of UAE investments in energy and renewables via state-owned giants ADNOC and Masdar.

Just in: Shaky Trade Terrain Keeps Oil Prices on Edge - Arabian Post Staff (https://thearabianpost.com/search/arabian+post+staff?orderby=DSC) -Dubai Oil traded in a narrow range as tariffs and sanctions threats unsettled global markets, weighing heavily on the outlook for energy demand. Brent hovered just above $70 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate stayed above $68. Futures markets weakened as U. S. equity-index futures dropped following fresh trade tensions between Washington and key global partners. U. S. President Donald Trump escalated tariff threats, targeting both the European Union and Mexico with 30 per cent duties and flagging potential levies against Brazil, the Philippines, Japan, South Korea and others. Markets interpreted this as a risk to economic momentum, especially in energy‑sensitive regions of Asia, denting crude demand expectations. At the same time, Asian buyers adopted a cautious stance, amplifying downward pressure on oil. Against this backdrop, investors are eyeing a scheduled “major statement” from President Trump concerning Russia. Anticipation of new sanctions against the country, a major oil producer, lent modest support to prices that might otherwise have fallen further. Still, this support was checked by rising output from OPEC+ and a pause in geopolitical flare-ups in the Middle -- Full Story: https://thearabianpost.com/?p=105484

Crypto‑Looting Malware Masquerades as AI and Gaming Start‑ups

Cybersecurity firm Darktrace has revealed a sophisticated social engineering campaign targeting cryptocurrency users on Windows and macOS. The scheme employs fake start‑up companies themed around AI, gaming, Web3, video conferencing, and social media to trick individuals into downloading malware disguised as legitimate software. Darktrace’s analysis shows threat actors are establishing plausible digital identities using compromised or spoofed X accounts—sometimes verified—for both companies and employees, hosted on platforms like Medium, Notion, GitHub and X to lend credibility. Notably, the group evolved from a December 2024 Web3 “Meeten” video‑call scam identified by Cado Security Labs into a broader and more enduring operation. Attackers initiate contact via Telegram, Discord or X, offering test access to new software in exchange for cryptocurrency payments. Victims receive a registration code to download tailored Windows Electron apps or macOS DMG files. Upon installation, the malware surreptitiously profiles the device, displays a fake Cloudflare verification, and initiates the payload: a stealer or drainer aimed at crypto wallets. On Windows, the malware utilizes stolen code‑signing certificates, installing an MSI payload that harvests credentials and wallet data. On macOS, variants Full Story https://thearabianpost.com/?p=105486

Analysts Forecast Ruvi AI to Eclipse Memecoins in Next Bull Cycle

A growing number of market analysts predict Ruvi AI’s RUVI token will outperform speculative memecoins like Shiba Inu in the forthcoming crypto bull cycle. They highlight RUVI’s audited smart contracts, real-world AI and blockchain utility, robust presale metrics, and VIP incentives as evidence of its potential to deliver returns far beyond meme-driven tokens. RUVI recently secured an independent audit from CyberScope, addressing smart-contract vulnerabilities and enhancing investor confidence. The project has also onboarded WEEX Exchange to ensure post-presale liquidity, further bolstering trust among institutional and retail backers. With $2.2–$2.3 million raised and approximately 180–185 million tokens sold to over 2,100 holders in Phase 2, analysts suggest the foundation has been laid for a significant market debut. RUVI’s utility-first design distinguishes it from memecoins. Integrated AI tools aim to improve marketing campaign efficacy, while blockchain-secured payments support content creators. In finance, the token underpins fraud detection and cross-border payment services. This multifaceted approach suggests sustained demand beyond speculative interest. Analysts anticipate an increase from the presale price of $0.015 to $0.07 upon listing, yielding an initial ~5× gain. Post-listing projections place RUVI at $1—implying Full Story https://thearabianpost.com/?p=105485

US Ivy League University Hit With Russian Blacklisting

Moscow has formally placed Yale University on its “undesirable organisations” list, citing the institution’s alleged role in orchestrating anti-Russian activities and training opposition figures. Russian authorities accuse Yale’s Jackson School of Global Affairs, particularly its International Leadership Center, of educating individuals who later joined the Anti‑Corruption Foundation founded by the late Alexei Navalny, using their acquired skills to fuel protest movements. The Prosecutor General’s Office claims this threatens Russia’s territorial integrity, supports an international blockade, and destabilises its socio‑economic and political systems. The designation prohibits Yale from any activities within Russia. Under federal law, association with a blacklisted group carries prison penalties—up to four years for Russian collaborators and six years for organisational leaders. Individuals linked to Yale face criminal charges; the measure forms part of a broader Kremlin strategy against foreign entities deemed threatening. This move adds Yale to a growing roster of Western organisations singled out since the 2015 “undesirable organisations” law. Prior additions include Amnesty International, Bard College, the British Council, and most recently Razom, a Ukrainian aid group. The law enables authorities to shut down foreign Full Story https://thearabianpost.com/?p=105382
