UAE’s latest astronauts to begin spacewalk training

The UAE’s newest astronauts will soon begin spacewalk training at Nasa’s Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas.

Mohammed Al Mulla, 34, can be seen in an extravehicular mobility unit — suits astronauts wear during a spacewalk — in photos he published on his Twitter account on Saturday.

Astronauts-in-training wear the heavy suits — which weigh about 130 kilograms — and perform tasks in a pool filled with 2.3 million litres of water.

“I tried on the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) before starting my spacewalk training, which will take place at the Neutral Buoyancy laboratory (NBL),” he said.

“The EMU weighs approximately 130 kilograms and has a life support system that allows us to complete tasks in the harsh space environment.”

Astronauts carry out routine spacewalks outside the International Space Station to do maintenance tasks and install new equipment.

The NBL pool is 12 metres deep and helps simulate microgravity, allowing trainees to work on a replica of the space station placed under water.

Experienced astronauts also train in the pool regularly to brush up on their skills.

Mr Al Mulla, a former helicopter pilot with Dubai Police, and his colleague Nora Al Matrooshi, 29, a mechanical engineer, joined the UAE’s astronaut corps in 2021.

They started Nasa’s basic astronaut training programme in January. Since then, they have completed survival training in the wilderness and training in supersonic jets.

The UAE’s first two astronauts, Hazza Al Mansouri and Sultan Al Neyadi, graduated from the programme earlier this year.

Dr Al Neyadi, a former IT professional, is preparing for a six-month mission to the International Space Station, set to launch in the spring from Florida’s Kennedy Space Centre.

Maj Al Mansouri is still in Houston and is undergoing training, though it is not known for what mission, if any.

As the ISS reaches its retirement date at the end of this decade, the UAE is looking to secure deals that could help Emirati astronauts land on the lunar surface.

Nasa launched the Artemis programme, which aims build a human base on the lunar surface and then eventually launch astronauts to Mars from there.

The US space agency will attempt to launch its Artemis 1 mission on August 29, an uncrewed test flight around the Moon.

If successful, it will pave the way for Artemis 2 and 3 — crewed flights to the Moon.

The UAE and Nasa are in talks regarding the programme, but no official announcement on the Emirates’ participation has been made yet.

Apart from American astronauts, Canadian and Japanese astronauts will be part of Nasa's crewed missions to the Moon.

Ten tax points to be aware of in 2026

1. Domestic VAT refund amendments: request your refund within five years

If a business does not apply for the refund on time, they lose their credit.

2. E-invoicing in the UAE

Businesses should continue preparing for the implementation of e-invoicing in the UAE, with 2026 a preparation and transition period ahead of phased mandatory adoption. 

3. More tax audits

Tax authorities are increasingly using data already available across multiple filings to identify audit risks. 

4. More beneficial VAT and excise tax penalty regime

Tax disputes are expected to become more frequent and more structured, with clearer administrative objection and appeal processes. The UAE has adopted a new penalty regime for VAT and excise disputes, which now mirrors the penalty regime for corporate tax.

5. Greater emphasis on statutory audit

There is a greater need for the accuracy of financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Standards standards need to be strictly adhered to and, as a result, the quality of the audits will need to increase.

6. Further transfer pricing enforcement

Transfer pricing enforcement, which refers to the practice of establishing prices for internal transactions between related entities, is expected to broaden in scope. The UAE will shortly open the possibility to negotiate advance pricing agreements, or essentially rulings for transfer pricing purposes. 

7. Limited time periods for audits

Recent amendments also introduce a default five-year limitation period for tax audits and assessments, subject to specific statutory exceptions. While the standard audit and assessment period is five years, this may be extended to up to 15 years in cases involving fraud or tax evasion. 

8. Pillar 2 implementation 

Many multinational groups will begin to feel the practical effect of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT), the UAE's implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax under Pillar 2. While the rules apply for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2025, it is 2026 that marks the transition to an operational phase.

9. Reduced compliance obligations for imported goods and services

Businesses that apply the reverse-charge mechanism for VAT purposes in the UAE may benefit from reduced compliance obligations. 

10. Substance and CbC reporting focus

Tax authorities are expected to continue strengthening the enforcement of economic substance and Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting frameworks. In the UAE, these regimes are increasingly being used as risk-assessment tools, providing tax authorities with a comprehensive view of multinational groups’ global footprints and enabling them to assess whether profits are aligned with real economic activity.

Key findings of Jenkins report
  • Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
  • Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
  • Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
  • Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."

Four tips to secure IoT networks

Mohammed Abukhater, vice president at FireEye in the Middle East, said:

- Keep device software up-to-date. Most come with basic operating system, so users should ensure that they always have the latest version

- Besides a strong password, use two-step authentication. There should be a second log-in step like adding a code sent to your mobile number

- Usually smart devices come with many unnecessary features. Users should lock those features that are not required or used frequently

- Always create a different guest network for visitors

How it works

Each player begins with one of the great empires of history, from Julius Caesar's Rome to Ramses of Egypt, spread over Europe and the Middle East.

Round by round, the player expands their empire. The more land they have, the more money they can take from their coffers for each go.

As unruled land and soldiers are acquired, players must feed them. When a player comes up against land held by another army, they can choose to battle for supremacy.

A dice-based battle system is used and players can get the edge on their enemy with by deploying a renowned hero on the battlefield.

Players that lose battles and land will find their coffers dwindle and troops go hungry. The end goal? Global domination of course.
