Arab Media Summit opens in Dubai and runs through September 17
The Government of Dubai Media Office confirms that the 2026 Arab Media Summit runs from September 15 to 17 at Dubai World Trade Centre and is the event's largest edition so far.
Why it matters
People travelling to the venue or nearby business district should confirm registration, entry and transport arrangements. An event announcement does not mean unrestricted public admission.
Oil jumps as Yanbu loadings pause and Libyan fields halt production
Saudi crude loadings at Yanbu were reported suspended while the East–West pipeline remained shut, and three Libyan fields halted during protests. Brent rose 3.3% to $109.20 on September 15.
Fuel, aviation, freight and food costs may face more pressure. Canadian producers may benefit, while households face higher inflation risks.
Yemen fighting displaces more than 100,000 people, UN says
UNHCR says renewed fighting in Yemen has displaced more than 100,000 people inside the country, while thousands more have travelled by sea to Djibouti. Insecurity, damaged infrastructure and communications outages are obstructing aid.
The escalation is affecting civilian safety, humanitarian access and Red Sea shipping. People in Yemen and nearby waters should follow current UN, government and maritime-security guidance rather than unverified social-media route claims.
Saudi cities briefly receive security alerts before Civil Defence issues all-clear
Saudi Arabia issued potential-danger alerts in Mecca, Jeddah, Taif and other locations on September 15. Civil Defence later said the danger had passed in Jeddah, Abha, Jazan, AlUla, Taif and Yanbu. Authorities did not immediately confirm an impact or damage from incoming weapons.
The alerts show that the Yemen conflict and missile-and-drone threat now reach a wider range of Saudi cities and Red Sea energy hubs. Although this alert ended, residents and travellers should rely on current Saudi Civil Defence, airport and airline notices.
