  • ASIA, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, DUBAI, 09.09.2009 / on the fast track: built in just 4 years with the help of 30000 construction workers, the Dubai Metro was opened on 09.09.09, at 9pm, 9 minutes and 9 seconds by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. These young women are enjoying to be part of this historic day - they are winners of a Golden Ticket, which gave them a chance to ride the metro on its inauguration night, along with VIPs and members of the media. It has to be seen if they will continue to use the metro - with cheap gasoline prices, the car is still the first option for most residents. The Dubai Metro will have special compartments for women and children.

  • Morello moved to Qatar in 2007 to work for the Qatar Olympic Committee, which hired him out to local football teams.<br />
<br />
His problems arose in January 2009 while working at Al-Shamal sports club. He said the team wanted to change coaches and terminated his contract, but refused to pay the money owed to him under the employment agreement.<br />
Despite formally resigning from the Olympic Committee in 2010, he said his employment permit continued to be renewed even though he was not allowed to work or obtain an exit visa.<br />
Morello cleared a major hurdle earlier this fall when his sponsorship was transferred to the French embassy. However, he was told he could not leave the country until he repaid four years’ worth of housing costs – worth an estimated QR1.2 million ($342,325). Morello said the matter was resolved when he signed a form acknowledging the debt last week, which was then forgiven by the Qatari government in full. <br />
<br />
Morello still plans to sue the Olympic Committee over unpaid wages.
