    Peter Kay forced to postpone gigs for a second time because of arena issues

    Peter Kay says he has been forced to postpone two shows at a new arena in Manchester again - this time for almost a month. The comedian was due to perform at the Co-op Live in Manchester, which is set to become the UK's biggest arena, on 23 and 24 April. Behind-schedule power tests and safety concerns meant both gigs were initially pushed back to 29 and 30 April - but now, the dates have been delayed until 23 and 24 May.

    Exclusive-UAE planning second nuclear power plant, sources say

    The United Arab Emirates will tender shortly for the construction of a new nuclear power plant that would double the number of the small Gulf state's nuclear reactors, three sources familiar with the matter said. The UAE, a U.S. security partner, became the first Arab state to operate a nuclear power plant when in 2021 it opened in the South Korean-built Barakah facility in Abu Dhabi. The UAE plans to seek bids this year, potentially within the next few months, to build four new reactors, the sources with direct knowledge of the matter said, requesting anonymity to discuss details that are still private.
