Dubai fire raises alarm over home safety
from The Agenda · host Dubai Eye 103.8
A deadly gas explosion in Dubai has put home fire safety back in the spotlight. We ask whether residents really know if their fire alarms are working, whether they're connected to emergency services, and what you should be checking in your own home. We also look at the changing diamond industry, as falling prices for mined stones and growing demand for cheaper lab-grown gems force some of the world's biggest producers to rethink the threat. Women's cricket is taking centre stage, with the UAE preparing to host one of the sport's biggest tournaments as the UAE establishes itself as one of the world's biggest destinations for international sport. But what does hosting major tournaments actually deliver for tourism, hotels and the wider economy? And what should Dubai's Museum of the Future look like in the years ahead? The museum is asking the public to help shape its next generation of experiences. Finally, we head to the farm of the future, where humanoid robots are being developed to plant, prune and harvest crops. Could robots eventually become a normal part of the agricultural workforce?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
