UAE then and now: Memories of the Volcano Fountain on Abu Dhabi's Corniche

Temperatures should reach a maximum of 46°C in Abu Dhabi and 45°C in Dubai on Friday. It will be partly cloudy throughout the day.

Forecasters have issued a warning for some coastal parts of the UAE over morning fog, which will probably stay until 8am.

Winds will be light to moderate during the day and are expected to reach a maximum of 30kph near the Arabian Gulf and in the Oman Sea.

The hot conditions are expected to stay on Saturday.

Tearful appearance

Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday. 

Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow. 

She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.

A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.
