Dubai suspends live entertainment: Bands, DJs, dancers & live entertainers in hotels & restaurants

Entertainment in hotels and restaurants across Dubai is to be temporarily suspended from Thursday January 21.

The move means bands, DJs, dancers and live entertainers are not allowed to perform in hotels and restaurants. The announcement came in a circular from Dubai Government’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DCTM), advising managers and owners of hotels and restaurants across Dubai of the change. In December a circular was issued about “compliance with precautionary measures to counter pandemic COVID-19”. 

And the new directive states that this latest news is in response to “an increase in the number of violations during entertainment activities in hotels and restaurants”. 

No time period has been announced, but it is “until further notice”.

President Trump's personal physician, Dr. Harold N. Bornstein passes on

Awwww.....

Dr. Harold N. Bornstein, Donald Trump’s former physician who once declared him to be ‘the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency’ only to later say he was coerced into making the claim, died on Friday, it has been revealed. Bornstein, the Manhattan-based doctor, was 73 years of age at the time of his death, which was revealed in a paid notice published in The New York Times on Thursday. No cause of death was given. There is also no word as to where he died. Bornstein, a gastroenterologist, served as Trump's personal physician from 1980 until 2017. 

He inherited Trump as a patient from his father, Dr. Jacob Bornstein, who also practiced medicine at the same Park Avenue address on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Bornstein is survived by his wife, Melissa, daughter Alix, and sons Robyn, Joseph, Jeremee, and Jackson.

Trump permanently banned from Twitter, may build his own platform soon #TrumpTwitterBan

On Friday night, Twitter permanently suspended President Donald Trump's account, citing his potential to incite violence further.

The crackdown on the president's Twitter usage predictably infuriated Trump. He went "ballistic," a senior administration official told Politico. 

After the ban, Trump tweeted from the official @POTUS Twitter account but his posts were almost immediately deleted. Similarly, the president then tried in vain to share a message from his @TeamTrump account. This was deleted and the account was suspended. 

The official also said Trump was "scrambling to figure out what his options are," according to Politico. In a now-deleted tweet, Trump said he'd been "negotiating with various other sites" and would have a big announcement soon. 

Trump also said that his team "look at the possibilities of building our own platform in the near future."

Trump's banishment from Twitter - the platform that has defined much of his presidency - was met with both outrage and glee online. His critics celebrated his account being disabled, most notably Hillary Clinton.

#SJ182: Plane debris pulled from the sea after Boeing 737 with over 50 people on board vanishes from radar

A Boeing 737 passenger plane is believed to have crashed into the sea after disappearing from radar and plunging 10,000ft.

The Sriwijaya Air passenger jet lost contact after taking off from Indonesian capital Jakarta earlier today en route to Pontianak in West Kalimantan province. It had more than 60 people on board - including 10 children. 

The Indonesian navy has said it has worked out the last known coordinates of the missing jet, and ships are being sent to the area. Navy official Abdul Rasyid told reporters: "The coordinates have been found and have been given to all Navy vessels in the area." Photos show rescue workers pulling debris from the water in a desperate search for survivors. An Indonesian rescue agency confirmed suspected debris of the flight had been found. No radio beacon signal had been detected, the agency said. 

Residents of Thousand Island said they heard two explosions before finding items in the sea. It's been reported the plane fell 10,000ft in less than one minute, about four minutes after taking off. Surachman, a local government official, told Kompas TV that fishermen found what appeared to be the wreckage of an aircraft in waters north of Jakarta and a search was underway. 

Other channels showed pictures of suspected wreckage.

Yikes! Justin Bieber forgets lyrics to his hit song, ''Sorry'' during #NewYearsEve performance

Justin Bieber is saying 'sorry' after he suffered a bit of a flop during his New Year's Eve performance.

The 26-year-old singer was performing his 2015 hit Sorry, when he stumbled over the lyrics and confessed, 'I forget the words.' Seemingly a bit frazzled from his stacked performance on top of his debut of his new song Anyone, Bieber was left tongue tied though he tried to keep going. 

At the top of the song he uttered out the lyrics, 'You gotta go and get angry at all of my,' before forgetting the last word 'honesty.' 

He tried to move forward and got the second verse, 'You know I try but I don't do too well with apologies,' before acknowledging his lyric flop and trying to pick it back up.  

The live streamed event put on by T-Mobile took place at The Beverly Hilton hotel and also featured a slew of guests watching live from the balconies.
