Rocky Ras Al Khaimah has always been the most fascinating of the seven emirates, and now it's being branded a rogue state:
RAK is a strategically important part of the UAE, 50 miles from Iran across the Strait of Hormuz, through which 17 million barrels of oil are shipped each day. Sheikh Khalid, 66, was ousted by his father and brother as de facto leader in 2003.
The campaign alleges the regime presents an international security threat because the kingdom has become "a rogue state and gateway for Iran", allowing the shipment of weapons, including nuclear weapons parts, drugs and blood diamonds as well as military personnel and terrorists from al-Qaida and other networks.
How incredibly exciting.

K9 have re-homed 7,000 dogs over the last 30 years…
The stray dog problem in the UAE is bigger than most of us can even imagine, as many Dubai residents are unable to take their furry friend with them when they leave the UAE. The K9 Friends shelter is a leading dog rescue facility which holds 130 dogs at any one time, and has an ever-growing waitlist.
The centre is run solely by volunteers who give up their free time to carry out maintenance, care for the animals, and focus on re-homing the dogs to the right households.
The adoption process is a critical part of ensuring the dogs find their forever home. It begins with a chat where the dedicated staff will do their best to find our as much about your lifestyle and the type of dog you’re looking for, then you’ll come in for an interview. This gives the whole family a chance to meet a variety of dogs in a comfortable space and find their perfect match.
Animal-lovers who are unable to commit to adoption also have the option to foster a pup. This can provide vital feedback on the dog’s mannerisms and personality ,which can help the shelter determine their perfect forever home. Even if you only have a few hours to spare, you can offer to walk a dog from 10am to 5pm, Saturday to Thursday and give a canine a great day out.
The great work done by volunteers at K9 Friends makes a huge difference to the stray dog community but the best way to help the problem is to avoid buying puppies from breeders. Think carefully before you make the decision to get a pet and remember – adopt, don’t shop.
