Iranian attacks on Dubai and the closure of its airport have triggered a scramble among the wealthy to leave the emirates via alternative routes on private jets.

The normally glitzy city – a playground for billionaires, influencers and millions of international visitors – has been on edge since drones and missiles fired in response to US and Israel strikes on Iran damaged the airport and struck several high-profile hotels and landmarks.

The UAE defence ministry said it had continued intercepting incoming missiles and drones on Monday, as the country announced the closure of its embassy in Tehran amid the widening regional war.

Some in Dubai have headed for Oman, a four-and-a-half-hour drive, which has seen little disruption and where Muscat airport continues to operate, albeit with delays.

The majority of commercial flights from Muscat to Europe are fully booked until later this week, according to booking sites.

More than 120,000 locals have signed petitions opposing a proposed Trump-branded tower in Surfers Paradise, arguing the project threatens the Coast’s identity, infrastructure and public beachfront.

“The return of famine to Gaza is what we fear most, even more than the shelling,” said Sobhi Al-Zaaneen, a 50-year-old father of seven, originally from northern Gaza.

"The Europeans, Canada, Mark Carney, the United States, the American president… All for one, one for all, because everybody supports, here in Europe, the fact that [Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei is gone, that the nuclear capability is gone, that the ballistic missile program has been now degraded — which was a big threat for Europe, for Israel, for the whole region," he said.

Rutte commended Trump for crippling the Iranian regime’s military capabilities and eliminating Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, saying European leaders expressed broad backing during conversations over the weekend.

Rutte said he personally spoke with several top European leaders in the immediate aftermath of the strikes and views their responses as supportive.

The UK gave £90,000 to an Israeli report seeking to prove that sexual violence by Hamas on 7 October was “systematic”, a weakly evidenced claim Israel made central to justifying its genocide in Gaza, Novara Media can reveal.

In September 2024, Israeli government-aligned research group The Dinah Project applied to the Labour-run Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) for funding for a report seeking to establish the “systematic and premeditated nature” of Hamas’ sexual violence during and after the 7 October attack.

Following a seven-month battle with the FCDO, Novara Media has been partially granted its freedom of information (FOI) request, indicating that the department, then overseen by David Lammy, granted The Dinah Project £90,000, 75% of its budget for the four-month project. An Israeli official went on to describe the report as “a significant public diplomacy tool for us”.

I have an airsoft rifle I've been training with in my backyard, I can hit a can from like 100 yards I'm such an operator, I have camo fatigues and combat boots, I'm so ready to fight. Mr. Trump PLEASE pick me, the recruiter said I can't go and fight because my balls are really weird but that won't stop me, I'll find some way to get deployed to Israel.

Hi,

I want to make some of my services (like Nextcloud, Immich, Komga, Jellyfin and FreshRSS for example) on my home server easier accessible from remote. For that I want to use a VPS where I install Nginx and Wireguard on it and establish a VPN connection between it and my homeserver. So far so good.

My first question: For the services that I don't want to expose for remote access over that setup, can I just keep my Nginx instance that I have running now for these services. For example my budgeting service is available under finance.example.com as long as I'm in the same network as my home server right now. Would that still be possible when I have 2 Nginx instances running (one on the VPS and one on the home server directly) or would I need to configure it differently for that to work?

My second question:
Do I need to install Fail2Ban on my VPS or can I also install it on my homeserver?
