If you subscribe to Paramount+, there’s no better way to kick off the month of January than with a trio of newly arrived action movies. Paramount+ may not have the deep bench of films that its streaming rivals do, but Paramount itself has been one of the major Hollywood studios for decades, and it has its own classics in the action genre alongside a handful of films from other studios. This month, our picks for the three action movies on Paramount+ that you need to watch in January include a reunion of Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte, a truly tragic…

Dubai has launched an ambitious social welfare agenda with a budget of Dh208 billion over the next 10 years. Called ‘Dubai Social Agenda 33’, it maps out ways to empower families in the Emirate.

The comprehensive agenda features a healthcare system that will boost life expectancy; an education system that will equip students with skills and knowledge of the future; and a social system that protects, cares, and empowers.…

A winter weather system moving through the US is expected to wallop the East Coast this weekend with a mix of snow and freezing rain from the southern Appalachians to the Northeast — although it’s too early to say exactly which areas will get what kind of precipitation and how much. Details on the storm’s path should firm up this week as the Pacific system moves through Colorado and New Mexico on Thursday and into Texas and the Southeast before moving up the East Coast, said Tony Fracasso, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Centre in College…

The journey of Fly With Haifa began in two parts. On one end, was a little girl with a dream to travel the world, to meet people from all kinds of backgrounds and forge meaningful connections. On the other end, was a young adult who faced repeated rejection, aspiring to be a television presenter. Combining the two, Haifa Beseisso decided to pick up that camera and give herself a show. On YouTube. A channel that now stands at over 800,000 subscribers and gives her a platform to own her voice. But it wasn’t much later on into her adult life…

There are Amazon Prime Video TV shows that get tons of attention, from Reacher to The Wheel of Time. But the streaming service has many more shows, including originals, that don’t get the attention they deserve. The three underrated shows on Prime Video you need to watch in January aren’t new, but they have flown under the radar since they debuted as far back as almost a decade ago. They have each ended their run already, but these shows are worth watching if you want to add another great series to your roster. Since they’re done, you can get the full…

I have this awkward luxury of watching fireworks, not the iconic Burj Khalifa ones, from my living room in Dubai. This is the show connected to the Dubai Shopping Festival, so don’t expect the same pomp and circumstance as of the New Year fireworks that mesmerise millions across the world year after year. But to watch the magnificent pyrotechnic display over the Dubai Creek from the comfort of my recliner brings me a lot of pride and a blast from the past. Back in the day, fireworks literally came home during religious occasions like Eid, Diwali, Christmas and Vishu, a…
