AC Milan’s squad of superstars due in Dubai today

Dubai, Dec. 29, 2008 AC Milan’s global stars arrive in Dubai today for their Emirates-sponsored Training Camp in Dubai.

The squad of 26 players includes AC Milan stalwart and club captain, Paolo Maldini who at the age of 40 is still in sensational shape. Maldini made his debut for the club back in 1985 and among his many accolades since then are seven League titles, five UEFA Champions League titles and a FIFA Club World Cup.

Also in the group is the much-talked about loan signing, David Beckham, who remains one of the most recognisable faces in world football. The former England captain will certainly be looking forward to getting acquainted with his new teammates in training over the coming nine days.

Another of the globally familiar faces in the squad is that of Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho. He’ll be joined by compatriot Kaka who made his debut for the club back in 2003 and despite a serious knee injury, still managed to finish as AC Milan’s top goalscorer last season.

With the likes of Filippo Inzaghi, Russia’s Andriy Shevchenko, Dutch veteran Clarence Seedorf and Gianluca Zambrotta also travelling to Dubai, the squad list is certainly an impressive one.

And football fans will have the chance to watch all their favourite stars in training with two of the AC Milan sessions open to the public. These will take place at Al Nasr Club on December 30 from 5-6.30pm and on January 2 from 9.30am-12pm.

The AC Milan players will also be in action on January 6 when they take on Hamburg SV in the Emirates and DTCM-sponsored Dubai Football Challenge which takes place at the new Emirates sports venue, The Sevens on the Al Ain Road.

Regular ticket prices are AED 100 for adults and AED 50 for children under 12, while premier tickets sell for AED 200.

AC Milan Squad: Christian Abbiati; Massimo Ambrosini; Luca Antonini; David Beckham; Daniele Bonera; Marco Borriello; Mathias Cardacio; Matteo Darmian; Dida; Emerson; Giuseppe Favalli; Mathieu Flamini; Gennaro Gattuso; Filippo Inzaghi; Marek Jankulovski; Kaka; Zeljco Kalac; Kakha Kaladze; Paolo Maldini; Alexandre Pato; Andrea Pirlo; Ronaldinho; Clarence Seedorf; Philippe Senderos; Andriy Shevchenko; Gianluca Zambrotta

Al Safeer Mall opens in Ras Al Khaimah

Dubai The Sharjah-based Al Safeer Group opened its fourth shopping and leisure mall in the UAE in Ras Al Khaimah.

The new mall was officially opened by Ahmad Bin Amer, the RAK Director for EIDA.

On the opening day, more than 30,000 people visited the mall, the first of its kind in Ras Al Khaimah, which features a major Safeer hypermarket as its flagship store and about 100 other retail outlets as well as restaurants, a Jungle Bungle family entertainment centre and parking for 1,500 cars.

Total retail space covers a massive 500,000 square metres.

“It is extremely encouraging and gives an early indication that the Al Safeer Shopping mall concept will be successful in different emirates throughout the country.”

Built at a cost of Dh200 million, Safeer Mall Ras Al Khaimah is strategically located in the heart of the local community area of Kharan.

The centre is fully subscribed and all the units expect to be ready for business by January.

Among the major brands that have contracted space in Safeer Mall are Damas, Springfield, Mother Care, Face Shop, Starbucks, Nando’s, Pizza Hut, KFC, UAE Exchange, Emirates Identity Authority and News Centre.

UAE press wants world to act for Ghaza

How many dead Palestinians will it take for the world to act? Can United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon tell the families of the 195 innocent people who were massacred by Israel yesterday why he wouldn’t even try to protect Palestinians in Gaza the way he does citizens of other countries? Is Palestinian blood cheaper than Indian, Myanmarese, American and French or for that matter Israeli blood?, the UAE press asked today in comments about the new Israeli air attacks on Gaza on the eve of the new year.

The papers called on the Arab League has to draw the line very clear as the Arab peace initiative is no longer an option. Israel has rejected it anyway. The protection of Palestinians should be the only plan on the table today.

”Maybe these painful questions should be posed to Arab states which have failed to come to the rescue of Gaza. The ravaged, miserable strip had been under siege for more than one year. Its people have been without food and power for many months. And they have not asked for anything more than a sense of human solidarity with their plight,” the Gulf News commented.

”And instead of getting the independent state which US President George W. Bush promised to deliver by the end of the year, the Palestinians are today burying their dead. The massacre is Israel’s gift to the Palestinians and the Arabs who today celebrate the new Islamic year.

For long enough, the paper said, Arabs have been pleading with Israel to embrace peace. Meanwhile, the Jewish state is busy with an election that will see its politicians compete with one another in butchering Palestinians. Kill 100 and you are assured of a seat in the Knesset. Kill 200 and become a minister.

”One really wonders what the Arab foreign ministers are going to say when they meet in Cairo today and tomorrow. Calling on Israel again to ‘choose the path of peace’? Appealing to the international community to ‘exert pressure’ on Israel and the US to revive the peace process? Too little too late.

”Today the Arab League has to draw the line very clear. The Arab peace initiative is no longer an option. Israel has rejected it anyway. The protection of Palestinians should be the only plan on the table today.

Commenting under the title ”Yet Another Aggression on Gaza”, Khaleej Times said : ”Palestinians are facing another onslaught from Israel. This time the theatre of aggression is the locked down enclave of the Gaza Strip, which has been bombarded by F16 fighter jets killing and injuring at least 180 people.

”The air offensive comes amid rumours that a ground operation is imminent threatening a humanitarian crisis as well as prospects of an all-out war.

The attack comes on the heels of a crushing blockade of Gaza for months.

Around 1.5 million people of this Hamas-ruled enclave are already suffering from food and supplies shortages,”the paper indicated.

”The cessation of a six-month long ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militant groups last week had raised fears of a showdown across the borders but many believed that restraint would continue. The Israeli onslaught has surprised many because it came within hours of Tel Aviv taking world opinion for a ride by saying that it would open the Gaza border to allow shipment of humanitarian aid. But that has turned out to be a diplomatic stunt to hoodwink the international community,”the paper added.

”Though Israel has targeted Gaza in the past as well, the attacks on Saturday were Hamas-specific. The missiles were aimed at security compounds of Hamas across Gaza. And at the same time the action matched vows to topple the Hamas-led government in the enclave.

”With Hamas calling for revenge attacks by firing rockets into Israeli territory, a regional catastrophe is in the making. The conflict it seems will not be restricted to Gaza alone. In what appears to be a warning to Hezbollah in Lebanon as well, Israeli jets scrambled from the country’s northern air base. The chaotic configuration can easily result in broadening the conflict thus bringing more misery and distress to millions in the region.

”A new round of bloodletting in the coastal strip needs to be averted. The world community should go a step ahead than the mere rhetoric of advising restraint. There is no point in condemning Israel. It needs to be tamed.

”The attacks have once again proved the vulnerability of neighbouring Arab states to Israeli aggressions as and when desired.

”While Gaza waits for yet another Israeli invasion, the need of the hour is unity among Palestinians and also strengthening of Arab ranks. A united Palestinian leadership will be in a much better position to effectively resume the struggle for the two-state solution to which Israel and the United States remain committed. But as an immediate recourse, the aggression should come to an end,”Khaleej Times concluded.

All concerned are pretty aware of the impact of this economic crisis around the world, a situation where we find ourselves faced with a great challenge … ” said Shaikh Ahmad Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Airports, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, and Chairman of the Dubai Shopping Festival Office Supreme Committee.

“We, however and notwithstanding the current challenges, believe in the prudent measures adopted by the UAE leadership to maintain our gains and assuage the negative impact of the current situation.”

Abu Dhabi, 15th Dec. 2008 By the year 2012, hotel rooms in Abu Dhabi are expected to rise to 23,000 with the demand and supply stabilizing between 2012 and 2015, HE Mubarak Hamad Al Muheiri, Director General of Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA), said after opening yesterday the first edition of the Equip’Hotel Middle East Exhibition and Conference (EHME), a major trade show focussed on the region’s hospitality industry.
