Russians were reportedly the biggest international buyers of Dubai real estate last year.

The airport is expecting an average of 5.6 million a month in the second half of this year.

India, which has refrained from condemning Russia given its longstanding security ties, has sharply boosted Russian crude oil purchases in recent months.

Embassy's failure to inform Wisma Putra about an invitation for a major event resulted in an embarrassing episode for both sides.

The ruling caps the end of an extraordinary, bitter and hugely expensive three-year custody battle at the High Court in London.

Israel's Shin Bet security service has voiced concerns about arrangements at Dubai International Airport and says the three national carriers will stop operating there if these go unresolved.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum was told he must pay Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein a lump sum of £251.5 million and provide a bank guarantee of £290 million to cover the children's maintenance and security as adults.

In the statement attributed to her lawyers, Sheikha Latifa says she hopes she can live her life 'in peace without further media scrutiny'.

Two other photos purportedly showing Latifa were also published last month.
