Swedish artist Eric Saade has been condemned by Eurovision organisers after he performed at the Eurovision semi-final with the traditional Palestinian keffiyeh wrapped around his arm.

Real Madrid defeated Bayern Munich 2-1 to reach the Champions League final for the second time in three seasons, with two late goals securing a 4-3 aggregate win for the Spanish champions.

Real estate tokenisation project

Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.

The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.

Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.
