- ROBOT MODE: SUPERSONIC.
China’s Unitree has unveiled “Superman”, a new humanoid robot that can jump 2 metres and sprint at 12.66 m/s (about 45.6 km/h).
The timing is anything but accidental. Just days before Unitree becomes the first general-purpose robotics company to list on mainland China’s stock market, the Hangzhou-based startup is putting its hardware, and ambitions, on full display.
The company raised 6.1 billion yuan ($905M) in its IPO, which was reportedly more than 8,000× oversubscribed by retail investors, a record for Shanghai’s STAR Market.
With 18,000 bipedal humanoid robots delivered so far, Unitree is racing to turn humanoid robotics from futuristic spectacle into a mass-market industry.
And “Superman” might be its fastest statement yet.

In a profanity-laden remark, Trump told Fox News journalist Trey Yingst: “If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb … them,” referring to ongoing talks between Oman and Iran over control of the strait, as Washington pursues its own negotiations.
Iranian and Omani officials have been talking for weeks on future maritime navigation arrangements through the shipping route, and the foreign ministry in Tehran said earlier Monday that the two sides were working on a joint declaration.

- Flooded homes, damaged crops and falling prices are leaving Filipino farmers facing a double blow as heavy monsoon rains continue to batter the Philippines.
In Quezon City, 64-year-old grandmother Elia Jalota is staying in an evacuation centre after floodwaters submerged her home and kangkong patch.
Across the country, agricultural damage has already surpassed P1 billion (Dh60 million), including losses of around P313 million (Dh18.9 million) in vegetables.
Farmers are losing crops to floods while low buying prices and disrupted transport make it difficult to sell what they manage to harvest.
The farmers’ movement is calling for immediate government support to help affected communities recover, as more rain is forecast this week.

The annual Ulchi Freedom Shield drills have begun as scheduled, despite Trump’s call to substantially reduce US participation. The 11-day exercise is designed to prepare the allies for a potential attack from nuclear-armed North Korea.
Pyongyang has long condemned the drills as rehearsals for invasion and recently fired missiles in protest.
The exercises come as North Korea deepens military ties with Russia and gains battlefield experience through support for Moscow’s war in Ukraine.

- Several multi-vehicle collisions caused by vehicles stopping on busy roads have prompted Abu Dhabi Police to issue a fresh warning to motorists, urging them to stay alert and avoid stopping in live traffic lanes unless absolutely necessary.
In a video shared by the Abu Dhabi Police, the first clip shows a vehicle slowing down in the rightmost lane, causing the two cars behind it to reduce speed as well. However, a fourth vehicle failed to notice that traffic had slowed and crashed into the car ahead, triggering a chain-reaction collision that pushed the vehicles into one another like dominoes.
The second clip shows a driver failing to notice a broken-down vehicle ahead, causing a multi-vehicle crash. As the occupants got out of one car, leaving its door open, another speeding vehicle slammed into it, sending the car flipping onto two other vehicles before it landed upside down on the road.

- One of the most heartwarming photos doing the rounds on social media on Friday was that of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Vice President Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in London, smiling as they posed with children during their visit.
The Dubai Ruler was spotted in the UK capital a few days ago, having lunch at a popular restaurant, posing for photos while he was out and about in the city.
The UAE President met Sheikh Mohammed in London during his trip to the UK, greeting him with a warm hug. In one video, Sheikh Mohammed was seen holding the Abu Dhabi Ruler's wrist as they entered a hotel lobby together.
The interactions between the two royals reflected their enduring bonds of unity, mutual respect and shared values that define the UAE's leadership.

- US President Donald Trump has signed two new executive orders aimed at restricting birthright citizenship, renewing a legal battle over the constitutional guarantee that has applied in the US for more than 150 years.
The orders seek to narrow who qualifies for citizenship at birth, including targeting what the administration calls “birth tourism” and limiting citizenship rights for certain children of foreign government employees and people classified as enemy aliens.
