Bangladesh capital

Hundreds of firefighters and army personnel are working to douse a massive blaze raging through a popular clothing market for cheaper clothes in Dhaka.

The fire started around 6:10 am local time on Tuesday at Bangabazar Market, but no casualties were reported immediately, a local fire services official informed.

Fire officials and shop owners told reporters the clothing market and three adjacent commercial precincts had been almost completely destroyed in the incident.

Another fire service official said they still had no idea on the origins of the blaze. A military spokesperson said an air force helicopter had joined in to support the firefighting operation, with aerial footage from the chopper showing scores of people watching devastating flames rage through the market from a nearby overpass.

Bangabazar Market with roughly 3,000 shops is a popular destination for affordable Western fashion brands, selling clothes that were manufactured in Dhaka's garment factories but couldn't meet export standards.

"I have lost everything," a business owner said, highlighting the perilous condition the massive fire has brought just weeks before Eid, the Muslim festival marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan and the biggest religious celebration in Bangladesh.

Several shop owners said they had borrowed thousands of dollars to stock new clothes ahead of the festival.

Thousands of shops, mostly made of tin and wood, were completely destroyed in the fire, Al Jazeera quoted an official at Bangabazar Shop Owners Association as saying. "I am unable to describe the massive loss all of us are incurring," D M Habib said.

Bangabazar's long history of fire hazards shouldn't be undermined. The market witnessed at least six small to medium fire incidents in the past decade, official data shows.

Although a shortage of fire safety arrangements and lax monitoring have often triggered devastating fires in commercial places in Bangladesh, conditions in the huge garment industry there have largely improved over the last decade.

-
The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties. Relationship between UAE and India are very historical in nature that started during the time when Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was the founder of UAE, whereby his coming to India in 1975 established strong cultural and diplomatic ties. This has been done through several high-profile exchanges including the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2017 which made these...

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
