    From the Editors: Dubai’s decision to extend scope of 10-year visa remarkable

    DUBAI’S DECISION TO EXTEND SCOPE OF 10-YEAR VISAS TRULY REMARKABLE: When it comes to thinking ahead of the times, the role played by Dubai and the UAE is truly exemplary. The decision to extend the ten-year golden visa facility to new eligible categories of professionals and experts is yet another instance of how Dubai and the UAE continues to set new benchmarks in tapping human talent and ensuring maximum possible socio-economic benefits for the maximum numbers. There is no doubt that this new provision, that comes into effect from December 1, will further strengthen the country’s innovation-based economy and provide a more conducive atmosphere for the intellectual development of professionals, as some academics have rightly pointed out.

    PEACE IN LIBYA WILL TAKE TIME: On Sunday, talks on Libya’s future adjourned without naming a new transitional government. Clearly, a lot of work still remains to be done in the war-torn country. But, the important things is that the ceasefire is holding. A decade of brutal conflict cannot be resolved in a few days. Also, there is international will to push for the peacemaking process. The UN said that delegates will resume talks online next week to discuss a reformed structure and role for the executive authority. The long-suffering people of Libya deserve nothing less.

    LEWIS HAMILTON IN SEVENTH HEAVEN: Lewis Hamilton confirmed his coronation as the greatest driver of all time as he won an amazing race in Turkey, teeing up a party in Abu Dhabi to celebrate his record-equalling seventh Drivers’ Championship Formula One title – at par with the great Michael Schumacher. Hamilton nursed his Mercedes home for victory on balding intermediate tyres - refusing team orders to pit - after a chaotic race where nine different racers had the outright lead.[COMMENT BY: Matthew Smith, Sports Editor] Image Credit: AP

    Oscar-winning actress Olivia Colman has said it will be hard moving on from shooting for web series ‘The Crown’. The popular show recently started its new season and has people hooked all over again. Colman stars as Queen Elizabeth II in it, and the latest season’s timeline includes Princess Diana and Prince Charles. The lives of the royal family still manage to capture the imagination of so many and people still feel the loss of Princess Diana to this day. It won’t be just Colman who feel a sense of loss once the show ends. [COMMENT BY: Jennifer Barretto, Assistant Editor – Features] Image Credit: AP
