Good Morning, Welcome to Top Of The Morning, I'm Nelson John. TCS chairman N. Chandrasekaran just made one of the boldest calls in Indian IT history, predicting the company could soon run as many AI agents as human employees. On today's Top of the Morning, we unpack what that means for six million engineers and a sector built on scale. We also cover PM Modi's NITI Aayog meeting with the states on jobs and skilling, the war in West Asia weighing on the economy, the government's push to build four new world-class private universities, Abu Dhabi's nearly ₹2,000 crore Lenskart share sale, and Adani Green Energy's record-breaking run alongside its growing debt. Plus a quick headline roundup on the markets, foreign investor outflows, the RBI's stance, Zepto's IPO filing, and more. Five stories. One clear eyed briefing. No noise.

This week, we are back in Dublin at the Cartier Espace at Paul Sheeran Jewellers for something more candid than a recap. It's a post game analysis of Live from Abu Dhabi, the largest showcase of Irish design in the Middle East to date, and a case study in what it actually takes to execute “luxury” outside your home market.Ashley is joined live by four women who made the project real: Lesley Keane (Ayu Cosmetics), Jess Colivet, Anne O'Shea, and Jenny Johnston (Azure Communications), covering beauty, production, styling, invites and print. The conversation is intimate, funny and specific in the best way, less about the highlight reel and more about naming the mechanics.Funding came in stages, sponsors were sequenced, and the show was built to hold a luxury standard abroad.Every seat had a purpose. Guest outreach ran like a campaign, not an invite list.Backstage was a full operations problem: 40 looks, limited models, fast changes and a house turned into a working production floor.The moments that almost went wrong are the proof of craft having 300 magazine covers reprinted overnight, a lighting issue caught just before the room filled.Day 2 was a desert shoot with Irish creatives and brands, the kind of asset most productions could never afford to build on their own.

Bill Maher sits down with Jeff Dunham, the world's most successful ventriloquist and one of the highest-grossing comedians of all time, for a conversation that goes well beyond comedy. From their Johnny Carson debuts to decades spent on the road, the two swap stories about success, audiences, and the strange realities of show business. Jeff shares what it's like performing the same act in places as different as Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv, while Bill weighs in on modern politics, free speech, and the cultural shifts that have transformed comedy. Along the way, they get into Gen Z's aversion to capital letters, the disappearance of common sense, and why comedians with props still don't get the credit they deserve.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, a fragile regional ceasefire comes under renewed pressure after Israel launches strikes across Iran in response to overnight Iranian missile and drone attacks. Several neighbouring countries respond by tightening security measures, with Iraq closing its airspace, Syria suspending flights in parts of the country and Jordan activating air-raid sirens. US President Donald Trump urges both sides to avoid further escalation while acknowledging the challenges facing ongoing negotiations to end the conflict and reopen a path to diplomacy. As the Fifa World Cup begins in North America, concerns grow over immigration enforcement and security procedures after Iraqi and Iranian football officials report entry and visa issues.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, Iran launches missile and drone attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait and civilian shipping in the Gulf, while US forces intercept projectiles and carry out strikes on an Iranian military site on Qeshm Island. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says any peace agreement will require Iran to accept long-term limits on its nuclear programme, with further negotiations expected after the Strait of Hormuz reopens. The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency describes last month's drone strike on the UAE's Barakah Nuclear Power Plant as “simply unacceptable” and warns of the risks of targeting civilian nuclear infrastructure. In Lebanon, Israeli strikes kill at least a dozen people, despite efforts to halt the fighting, with violence continuing to complicate wider US-Iran negotiations. And Abu Dhabi announces a temporary freeze on rent increases for residential, commercial and industrial properties, offering relief to tenants facing rising living costs.

Show Notes: Mehdi Frikha, founder at  mzx.ai, explains that mzx.ai builds a crew of agents for all knowledge workers, including colleagues in the Umbrex network.  Generating Brand Proposals from RFPs He introduces the first agent, Hector, which generates brand proposals from RFPs or client pitches, from as little as half a page of information. He explains that you input your output language, preferences about proposal approach, the target, the tone etc. Users can include their own PowerPoint template,  and the agent will provide a proposal that is 100% branded and 100% compliant with context, objectives, and the firm's approach. Integrating Firm Knowledge Mehdi mentions that the product is more targeted towards the European and Middle Eastern markets, where long proposals are common. He confirms that the agent can integrate the firm's knowledge, CVs, credentials, and any proprietary databases to generate a full proposal. The final product is fully branded and can be up to 40-50 pages, including all necessary elements to win the RFP or project.  Demonstrating the PowerPoint Output Mehdi demonstrates the 41-slide PowerPoint output, which is a technical proposal for an economic development strategy for AIDO(Abu Dhabi Investment Office) and offers to make the  41-slide PowerPoint output available for viewers. He explains how users simply send the request to the agent. The agent delivers a comprehensive 41 slide presentation based on the information sent.  Mehdi demonstrates how the agent presents the context and objectives of the project including the importance of AI in translating Abu Dhabi's national ambitions into localized investment. The proposal includes global benchmarks, structural drivers, competitive windows, and institutional timing. The proposal also addresses economic and market risks, environmental spatial constraints, and demographic and talent challenges. Structuring the Proposal Mehdi explains that the overall approach to the project is laid out in phases, which can be customized based on the RFP or the firm's preferences. The agent can provide guidance on the structure of the approach, including the number of phases and steps. The detailed version of the approach in this demonstration is 11 pages and can be used as a more detailed project plan. Agent Attention to Detail  Mehdi highlights the attention to detail, including real bullets, semantic selection of icons that reflect the content of the page, and consultant-compliant quality. Mehdi mentions that the agent can be trained to include details such as a placeholder slide for pricing or investment, and any necessary disclaimers in the proposal  in the future. Mehdi introduces the next agent, which translates PowerPoint presentations automatically, including complex slides with timelines and Gantt charts. He demonstrates the translation feature, which translates slides and injects the content in the right place, including right-to-left languages and timelines that read right to left. It has the ability to mirror complex slides and the potential time-saving benefits. Mehdi shows how the platform can generate research reports on any topic, using the request for an overview of nuclear submarine coolant pumps as an example. The Platform Pricing Structure In the demonstration of the third agent, Mehdi explains that the entry subscription will be $20, allowing 120 slides. Enterprise offers will be available for firms that want to deploy the platform in a private cloud, ensuring data security. Mehdi provides the website for sign-up and mentions that there is a closed beta available for interested users, and he mentions that there are many agents in development and invites feedback from Umbrex members for new product ideas.

Lucien (recording from Riyadh, mid-apartment move) and Hanna (in London, riding out an unlikely heat wave) open Episode 70 (!) catching up with each other. Between Arsenal's recent win of the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years, and the Seattle Seahawks winning the Super Bowl, it is the year of Championship Hanaa. She lives within earshot of the Emirates Stadium in Islington, her son knows every chant and every stat, and the neighborhood has been in full kit ever since. Hanna is also headed to Miami this summer for a World Cup match, though she'd have preferred the Egypt v. Iran fixture in Seattle — her kids are still in school. And the wins keep on coming: On June 3rd, she'll be co-hosting the 7th edition of the Middle East Sports Investment Forum in London. Before the main segment, the hosts share a piece of listener feedback that landed: a message on LinkedIn, from a listener who said The Twenty30 "was one of the most valuable sources of information they had when deciding whether to accept a job offer in Riyadh." That's the whole point of the show, and the hosts don't take it lightly.  Then, Lucien does a deep dive on Riyadh Air. Lucien frames it personally first: he's taken six flights in the last six weeks, lives an hour and a half from Dulles in D.C., and values a direct flight more than almost anything else in travel. Saudia currently holds the only nonstop service from Washington and New York into Riyadh, which should make it the obvious choice — except that Saudia's in-flight internet on long-haul routes is essentially non-functional. He's been routing through Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Dubai instead, noting that all three of those hubs have been noticeably quiet during the conflict. Every time he boards, the thought is the same: where is Riyadh Air? The answer is: closer than it looks. Riyadh Air received its GACA operating approval in February 2025 and operated its first flight — an invite-only Riyadh to London Heathrow service using a wet-leased Oman Air 787-9 — in April 2025. The commercial launch has been held up not by Riyadh Air but by Boeing. Seven fully built Riyadh Air 787-9s are currently sitting at Boeing's Charleston, South Carolina factory awaiting certification, with an eighth still on the final assembly line. The first A321neo delivery is expected in Q4 2026, with the 787 Dreamliners to follow. In January 2026, Riyadh Air locked in Neo Space Group as its WiFi provider for the A321neo fleet — Skywaves connectivity, up to 300 Mbps, free for Sphere loyalty members — layered on top of an existing Viasat contract for the 787 fleet that was signed in April 2025. The internet situation, in other words, is going to be the opposite of Saudia's. Qatar Airways already has Starlink and Lucien describes it as faster than his home connection. That's the bar -- let all airlines seek to best it! The initial network was leaked via Airport Coordination Limited and shows 15 destinations: Amman, Bangkok, Cairo, Dubai, Islamabad, Jakarta, Jeddah, Kuala Lumpur, Lahore, London Heathrow, Madrid, Manchester, Manila, Mumbai, and Paris. Washington, DC is not on the list :( Three of those routes — Madrid, Manchester, and Jakarta — would be nonstop firsts from Riyadh. Jeddah, Madrid, and Manchester were officially confirmed via Riyadh Air's social media on April 20th. In early May, the airline formally applied to the US Department of Transportation for a foreign air carrier permit with a request for expedited clearance — so DC may not be far behind. On May 19th, public ticket sales opened for the daily Riyadh to London Heathrow service launching July 1st. The aircraft will have four classes: Business Elite (four first-class suites on the first aircraft), Business (24 seats), Premium Economy (39 seats), and Economy. Hanaa flags premium economy as the sleeper feature. Qatar Airways doesn't offer it. British Airways isn't flying to Saudi at the moment. For families, or for anyone who can't justify business class on a personal trip, it fills a genuine gap. Lucien agrees — he's a last-minute booker and business class prices close to departure get punishing.  On the competitive landscape: Singapore Airlines announced four-times-weekly nonstop service from Singapore to Riyadh on the A350-900, scheduled to start June 2nd before being delayed by the conflict. That announcement read like a signal — Singapore Airlines effectively saying it wasn't going to let Riyadh Air own the premium international corridor into Saudi unchallenged. European carriers largely exited during the hostilities; Lufthansa pulled Lucien off a connecting flight in late January, rerouting him through London and adding a full day to his journey. British Airways still isn't flying to Saudi. The supply contraction has pushed prices up significantly on what routes remain. Riyadh Air stepping into this environment — with new aircraft, working internet, and routes that don't yet exist nonstop from Riyadh — is well-positioned (if it can seize the timing of this moment).  The workforce story is its own headline. Riyadh Air has received two million (two million!) applications across its hiring portals.  The hosts close the segment by zooming out. Airlines are structurally brutal businesses. What gives Riyadh Air a real edge, at least at launch, is route exclusivity and limited competition into Riyadh. As long as pricing is in range, travelers choose the direct. That simple fact, combined with Vision 2030's tourism and modernity goals, makes Riyadh Air something bigger than just an airline. King Khalid International Airport remained one of the most operationally open airports in the region during the conflict. The infrastructure is there. The aircraft are nearly there. Riyadh Air is coming. The episode wraps with a brief detour into domestic flying in Saudi — the Riyadh to Jeddah corridor, the high proportion of passengers in Ihram performing Umrah year-round, and genuine praise for Saudia's cabin crew and their quietly impressive ability to reshuffle seating at boarding so that women aren't seated next to unrelated men. Seamless, fast, and genuinely underappreciated. The one criticism of Saudia that neither host will let go: the internet!

I helgen tog Manchester Citys damer hem FA-cupen och fullbordade dubbeln. Stor succé för nye tränaren Andrée Jeglertz under sin första säsong. När jag poddintervjuade honom tidigare i år talade han om succén på nya jobbet, om fördelen med att jobba med Citys sportchef Therese Sjögran, om de makalösa förutsättningarna, om att basa för stjärnor som är väldigt stora i England, om spelmodellen som han infört, om baksidan av att City inte spelat i Europa, om kritiken som riktas mot ägarna från Abu Dhabi och om varför inga svenska spelare värvats och vilka de har koll på.Dessutom berättade Jeglertz om nyttan av sin spelarkarriär, om de fina åren i Umeå IK med stora framgångar, om lärdomarna av det tuffa året i Djurgårdens herrlag, om att skifta från att träna herr- och damlag, om varför han tackade nej till att fortsätta med Danmark, om teorin bakom varför få kvinnor är tränare på hög nivå, om att det är viktigaste är att tjejer får utbildade tränare och om oron för damallsvenskan som tappar spelare man borde kunna behålla.

From AI megadeals to food delivery consolidation and a new wave of defense manufacturing, today's stories highlight how capital, technology, and power are converging across the US, Europe, and the Gulf. Anthropic's rise above OpenAI marks a reshaping of the global AI hierarchy, but Abu Dhabi's quiet cross-investments tell an even bigger story. Meanwhile, Uber's push for Delivery Hero puts Talabat and HungerStation in play across the Middle East. In parallel, a US-Saudi venture to build Shahed-style drones in Riyadh signals an accelerating regional race to localize advanced military production. Newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dAkTDhJ6WhatsApp: aug.us/40FdYLUInstagram: aug.us/4ihltzQTiktok: aug.us/4lnV0D8Smashi Business Show (Mon-Friday): aug.us/3BTU2MY

From the deserts of Abu Dhabi to the missile silos of North Dakota, Episode 266 of Beer, Blues, and BS is a true global tour! This week, we celebrate the grand return of Big D after a multi-month hiatus. He drops in from Alabama to share his wild experiences surviving 120-degree heat in the UAE, the mind-bending vertigo of Dubai's "Team Labs" art exhibit, and the precise art of repairing hand-painted Lord of the Rings miniatures that Howard smuggled across the Atlantic. The "What's on Tap" segment is an absolute gauntlet. While JS checks in exhausted from a New Jersey convention center with a top-tier Guinness, Doc risks it all on a lychee grass jelly drink that left a "never again" grass-like aftertaste. Howard Blues tests a cola-flavored iced tea from China and battles what he officially crowns the worst item ever consumed on the show. Plus, we celebrate the Avalanche playoff victory, map out a road trip to the Oscar Zero missile capsule 50 feet underground, and look through the April police archives in The Blues Blotter—where loose bulls and heifer standoffs are causing traffic jams in Montana.

Oooooh y'all are gonna love this episode so much! Jess Medland is here, and she talks us through carving out her unique path in a non-traditional way, being a woman in motorsport (what, like it's hard?), what it's like having millions of people watching your work, wanting to be special, the beautiful chaos behind Martin Brundle's Grid Walk, her viral video calling Oscar Piastri's crash at the Australian GP, having a job that gives you voices in your head, feeling like an alien, not knowing what the F you want to do with your life, and a special tip for torturing your partner LOL.Other topics include Abu Dhabi 2021, the changing media landscape, knowing what audiences care about, our collective obsession with Fred Vasseur, how she champions women in motorsport, what it's like being married to someone who also works in this space, if we're seeing too much of the WAGs, and how having great instincts (and following them) is an integral part of her job.She ditched a SkySports meeting for this, so y'all better listen up!You can see more from Jess on her Instagram.@GirlsJustWanna_F1 on Insta@GirlsJustWannaF1 on TikTok@GirlsWannaF1Pod on TwitterGirlsJustWannaF1@gmail.comAll the LinksThanks for listening!

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to AMP its our great pleasure to welcome Dr Sophie West.Sophie says "I spent most of my adult life up to 2020 being told not to run or do impact sports, alongside having multiple surgeries and hospital admissions due to having my whole pelvis reconstructed due to my hip joints not having developed properly, on of the breaks they made in my pelvic bones never healed, hence the advice not to run.It's actually left me with pretty stiff hips that have weakness and some nerve damage around the hips. I also work full time in the NHS as a doctor.Anyway after two pregnancies just in time for the start of Covid that bone, after 9 years healed! So I started running in Covid.We moved out of london in 2022 and at the end of 2023 I decided that 2024 would be the year I tried to do a triathlon. Started with a pool based swim one and…..won my age group, I had already left before the awards as it just didn't even occur to me that I could have won!Through British triathlon I got assessed and was given a paratriathlon classification of PTS5. My second ever race was the British paratriathlon championships where I won silver (behind the awesome Claire Cashmore), and went on to win gold in 2025. Alongside earning myself aQT for both Europeans and worlds age group aquathlon championships where I came 7th and 11th respectively- not bad for a para athlete in an able bodied field.I have also now won the British paraduathlon championships in 2025 and 2026.All para stuff is sprint or super sprint. My goals for this year are to try some longer distances - I am doing the escape from Alcatraz triathlon (a bucket list item I didn't know I wanted ) a standard distance triathlon and duathlon. And maybe take on a 70.3 next year.Also new for this year British triathlon have just published QTs for para-entry at multisport events so watch this space on that one.I'm also hoping to do the world aquathlon championships in Abu Dhabi in November, and trying to get a QT in aquathlon, sprint and standard distance duathlon for Edmonton.I'm also a mum to 6 and 10 year old boys. And yes, my life is completely bonkers!I think it would be interesting as a para-athlete in the age group team which is quite unusual and not too many of us! I also get swimming induced pulmonary oedema to add to the complexity of things!But also im still really new to the sport which I hope would inspire others."you can follow Sophie on instagram @doctorsophie82You Can Follow us  onYouTube - AMP GBInstagram @amp_podcastFacebook : Richard Joseph Conwayfind all our episodes on our websiteWebsite is : https://agegroupmultisportpodcast.buzzsprout.com/email: agegroupmultisportpodcast@gmail.comYou Can buy the 1001 Triathlon Tips using this link - https://www.amazon.com/1001-TRIATHLON-TIPS-essential-triathlon-ebook/dp/B0GX39Z7P5/ref=zg_bsnr_g_16592_d_sccl_10/141-4765249-6496905?psc=1Support the show

Saudi Arabia slows down parts of NEOM as capital shifts toward ports and AI infrastructure, Abu Dhabi doubles down on entertainment with a $1.7 billion Sphere project, and Qatar Airways faces mounting fallout from the Iran war after reportedly suspending staff bonuses. Gulf economies are increasingly being reshaped by logistics, tourism and geopolitical disruption.

Wenn dir das Format gefällt: Eine neue Folge von NZZ Geopolitik erscheint immer mittwochs auf deiner Lieblingsplattform. Abonnier uns gerne. Und darum geht es diesmal: Der brüchige Waffenstillstand im Krieg gegen den Iran zwingt die Golfstaaten zu einer radikalen Neuausrichtung ihrer Aussen- und Sicherheitspolitik. Nach den iranischen Angriffen auf den strategisch wichtigen Hafen von Fujairah in den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten wird deutlich, dass die traditionelle Pendelpolitik der Golfmonarchien an ihre Grenzen stösst. Das historische Novum, dass das israelische Iron-Dome-System erstmals in einem arabischen Staat zum Einsatz kommt, signalisiert eine tiefgreifende Veränderung der regionalen Dynamiken. Gleichzeitig wächst am Golf die Frustration über den langjährigen Sicherheitsgaranten USA. Die Herrscherhäuser stehen vor der Herausforderung, ihre ambitionierten wirtschaftlichen Modelle und die gesellschaftliche Resilienz in Zeiten kriegerischer Konflikte aufrechterhalten zu müssen. Welche Rolle die Rivalitäten zwischen Abu Dhabi und Riad spielen und warum der opportunistische Pragmatismus der Region dennoch bestehen bleibt, analysiert diese Episode Heutiger Gast: [Dr. Sebastian Sons ](https://carpo-bonn.org/uber-uns/team/team/dr-sebastian-sons) Host: David Vogel Du hast schon ein NZZ-Abo und willst NZZ Pro zusätzlich bekommen.

United Parks Q1 was rough across the board: attendance & revenue were down, and the net loss widened to $34.1 million. CEO Marc Swanson blamed unfavorable weather (again) and a decline in international visitation. Despite the misses, United Parks repurchased approximately 2.6 million shares for nearly $93 million, reiterating its belief, as in last QTR, that the stock is materially undervalued.Meanwhile, the next Sphere installation was announced for Miral's Yas Island in Abu Dhabi — a $1.7 billion, 20,000-seat venue going up right next to SeaWorld Abu Dhabi and the Yas Mall, with construction set to finish by 2029. The Sphere business model has proven out in Vegas through concerts and immersive entertainment; the open question is whether Yas Island has the population density to fill 20,000 seats at the cadence Vegas does (and whether that even matters).Also: Tokyo Disney's second-year Summer Cool-off event is a textbook example of mitigating heat and leaning local.Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

18 May 2026. ADNOC has announced it is accelerating construction of its West-East pipeline.

The UAE has just walked out of OPEC after nearly 60 years, and the timing is no accident. This week, we head to Abu Dhabi and Dubai to ask what's really going on. Why now? Why leave the cartel in the middle of a war? What does it mean for the price of petrol in your car, for Trump's midterms, and for the geopolitics of the Gulf? We get into the strange tacit alliance between the UAE and Israel, why Iran's real leverage isn't the Straits of Hormuz but the Emirates themselves, and how Saudi Arabia's old swing-producer power is being quietly dismantled. We also draw a much bigger lesson for small countries everywhere, including Ireland: the multilateral world that small states have hidden inside since the 1940s is breaking down, and the UAE's gamble is a glimpse of the hard choices that lie ahead. Oil, war, money, and the end of an era, all in one episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
