disney+ releases new mena content in september

Disney is making plenty of progress as it expands into the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region after launching in 16 separate markets some months back. The corporation is now releasing fresh content for MENA subscribers, which is set to debut on the 8th of September.

The programming upgrade is intended to mark Disney+ Day celebrations and will see global premieres launching from Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, National Geographic, and general entertainment from Star — as well as original titles from Disney itself.

The new line-up has plenty to offer:

Mike

This eight-episode mini-series explores the controversial life of boxing legend Mike Tyson. Creator and screenwriter Steve Rogers will uncover Mike’s professional and personal life, in what looks to be a fascinating documentary drama.

Welcome To The Club

A new short series set in the universe of The Simpsons. In this new animated storyline, Lisa Simpson tries her hand at being bad and realizes it can be a lot of fun!

Cars On The Road

The series follows famous race car Lightning McQueen and his best friend Mater as they leave Radiator Springs on a cross-country adventure to visit Mater’s sister. Produced by Marc Sondheimer, the nine-episode show is directed by Steve Purcell, Brian Fee, and Bobby Podesta.

Thor – Love & Thunder

Marvel Studios’ famous Norse god, played by Chris Hemsworth, is a story of self-discovery, with an action-filled twist in the form of Gorr – the God Butcher, a galactic killer seeking the extinction of all deities (portrayed by Christian Bale). The fantasy space adventure also features Natalie Portman and Tessa Thompson.

Pinocchio

The classic Disney puppet is going on a journey to finally become a real boy. The movie features a star-studded cast that includes Tom Hanks, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cynthia Erivo, Keegan-Michael Key, and Luke Evans.

uae prepares to launch two satellites thuraya-2 and mbz-sat

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, chaired the first meeting of the Supreme Space Council in Dubai on December 16, 2024. The session highlighted the UAE’s ambitious space plans and took stock of the sector’s economic progress.

The council emphasized the growing role of private companies in advancing space technologies, noting that their contributions are now equal to that of the public sector. Members also praised initiatives like the Space Economic Zones Programme, which are designed to fuel innovation and investment in the space industry.

Discussing the UAE’s space journey, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum remarked, “The national space sector continues to grow and advance, and we take immense pride in the remarkable achievements we have accomplished over the years”.

Sheikh Hamdan also received updates on two upcoming satellite projects: Thuraya-2 and MBZ-SAT. Thuraya-2, developed by Space42, is slated for launch this December. Meanwhile, the MBZ-SAT, created by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), will soon follow. MBRSC, a major driver of the UAE National Space Programme, continues to lead the nation’s space-related developments.

Space42 took the opportunity to showcase its advancements, including ongoing collaborations between public and private entities. The company also outlined strategies to promote innovation, boost revenue streams, and create new opportunities for growth in the sector.

This mission, which is now in its second phase as of June 2024, has been collecting critical data to develop a comprehensive diurnal image of Mars.

The UAE also ventured into lunar exploration with an unmanned mission aimed at studying untouched regions of the Moon’s surface. While the probe ultimately crashed during its landing attempt after communication was lost seconds before touchdown, the effort represented a significant step in the country’s exploration ambitions.
