    Dawn - 13:23 Oct 22, 2025
    Saudi Arabia has banned employers from charging any fees to their domestic workers, including for recruitment and work permits, setting maximum penalties of a fine worth 20,000 riyals (SR) and a three-year ban on hiring, according to Saudi Gazette. The Saudi outlet reported on Monday that employers were banned from “charging any fees from their domestic workers”, including those “related to recruitment, change of professions, transfer of services, residency permit (iqama) and work permits”. Saudi Gazette said the provisions were included in the “Guide to the Rights and Obligations of Domestic Workers”, issued by the Saudi human resources ministry. It added that the new regulations “include a package of rights that guarantee the domestic worker a decent life and a stable work environment”. According to a guide available on the Saudi human resources ministry’s website, professions/jobs permitted by law in the domestic worker sector include “domestic worker, private driver, educator, home nurse, home cook, home ...
  • Turkiye pressing for Western fighter jets to claw back regional edge
    Dawn - 13:23 Oct 22, 2025
    Anxious to bolster its air power, Turkiye has proposed to European partners and the US ways it could swiftly obtain advanced fighter jets as it seeks to make up ground on regional rivals such as Israel, sources familiar with the talks say. NATO-member Turkiye, which has the alliance’s second-largest military, aims to leverage its best relations with the West in years to add to its ageing fleet 40 Eurofighter Typhoons, for which it inked a preliminary agreement in July, and later also US-made F-35 jets, despite Washington sanctions that currently block any deal. Strikes by Israel — the Middle East’s most advanced military with hundreds of US-supplied F-15, F-16 and F-35 fighters — on Turkiye’s neighbours Iran and Syria, as well as on Lebanon and Qatar, unnerved Ankara in the last year. They laid bare key vulnerabilities, prompting its push for rapid air power reinforcement to counter any potential threats and not be left exposed, officials say. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has sharply criticised Israel’s a...

  • Cliff bought 2 homes with Bitcoin mortgages: Clever… or insane?

    Should you buy a house with a Bitcoin-backed mortgage? The dream is you pay off the house as Bitcoin goes up, the risk is you lose it all. If youre one of the lucky people who own four to six Bitcoin or 111 to 166 ETH that’s enough to buy an average-priced house in the US or Australia. But who wants to cash out their Bitcoin today when pundits like Samson Mow and Plan B are tipping it will be worth 10 times more in the future? The dream of a Bitcoin-backed mortgage is that you get a house today and still get to benefit from Bitcoins appreciation tomorrow. If everything goes to plan, you just pay the interest each year, and in a few years’ time, hopefully pay off the mortgage with a smaller fraction of your Bitcoin holdings. The loans are quicker and easier to get than a standard mortgage too. All you need is Bitcoin worth approximately 50% more than the loan amount and youre good to go. There are some big drawbacks however, with interest rates sometimes twice as high as ordinary mortgages. Holders face margin...
