Multiply Media Group expands to the UK, partners with Wildstone
Multiply Media Group (MMG) has announced a strategic long-term partnership with the UK's Wildstone, one of the world's largest owners of outdoor media infrastructure with a portfolio of over 5,400 panels. This partnership gives MMG, a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi-based investment holding company Multiply Group exclusive rights to manage and operate a portfolio of premium digital out-of-home (DOOH) sites in central London. The move marks a significant step in the Group's strategy to create a borderless, tech-enabled media powerhouse. These assets will be commercialised and operated by BackLite Media, a subsidiary of MMG. 'Expanding into the UK marks a pivotal step in MMG's global growth journey,' said Jawad Hassan, Head of Media and Communications Vertical at Multiply Group.' He noted the Wildstone partnership enables the Group's ambition by providing it with immediate scale. 'Positioned as a strategic launchpad into international media markets, London offers the ideal setting for us to deliver meaningful brand experiences across one of the world's most iconic urban landscapes,' Hassan said. The first operational asset taken over is the Wandsworth Roundabout, which was among 13 high-traffic sites acquired by Wildstone from Transport for London (TfL) earlier this year. The site features four large-format digital screens and is situated on one of London's busiest junctions, with bi-weekly impacts of 6.2 million. 'Partnering with Wildstone deepens our presence in a mature, high-impact market and extends Backlite's premium inventory beyond the UAE,' said James Bicknell, Group CEO of Multiply Media Group. 'Through MMG, we are embracing the evolving media landscape that powers dynamic and impactful campaigns – and this collaboration marks an important step in delivering on that promise at a global scale.' Further adding to the conversation, Damian Cox, Global CEO and Founding Partner of Wildstone, said: 'We are excited to partner with MMG as they bring their forward-thinking approach to London's DOOH market.' 'This collaboration reflects our vision to elevate the standards of urban media infrastructure and help deliver more impactful DOOH campaigns for advertisers across London,' Cox added. Multiply Media Group was officially launched in June 2025, uniting three of the UAE's market-leading out-of-home (OOH) companies – BackLite Media, Viola Media and Media 247 – under a single, tech-enabled media house headquartered in the UAE. The launch took place at the World Out of Home Organization (WOO) Annual Congress in Mexico City and was marked by a bold global DOOH takeover that illuminated cities and screens worldwide with MMG's presence. This international move into London marks MMG's first major expansion beyond the Middle East, reflecting Multiply Group's global growth strategy. With a market cap of over $7.2bn, Multiply Group aims to continue to build scale and impact across its verticals through disciplined, future-facing investments. Finally, MMG claims to be actively exploring further market entries in other global cities. This expansion sets the stage for new acquisitions, partnerships, and investments that align with MMG's mandate to reshape the media sector through scale and forward-looking strategies.

He burgled their home then went back to ask for the belongings he left behind
He burgled their home then went back to ask for the belongings he left behind South Wales Police said the culprit was caught thanks to facial recognition technology The CCTV still of Said Hassan, left, and his custody headshot, right (Image: South Wales Police ) A burglar who boldly returned to the home he had targeted to ask for his forgotten belongings has been jailed. Said Hassan, 39, broke into a house on Pontcanna Street, Cardiff, on Friday, February 7, along with an accomplice. Police said the pair forced their way through the front door and began helping themselves to alcohol from the kitchen cupboards. However, their plans were foiled when the owners of the house caught them in the act and ordered them to leave. A statement said Hassan then fled the property, but shortly after, returned to the scene to ask for some personal items he had left behind during his hurried exit. Never miss a Cardiff story by signing up to our daily newsletter here The surprised residents refused his request – by then, they had already called South Wales Police. Although the burglars had left by the time officers arrived, police headed to the nearby Co-op to review CCTV footage, wherein Hassan had been caught on camera just minutes before the break-in. South Wales Police said using retrospective facial recognition technology, officers were able to identify him from a still image taken from the footage. He was arrested two days later. Article continues below At Cardiff Crown Court, Hassan pleaded guilty to burglary and on May 15, he was sentenced to two years in prison. Police said that retrospective facial recognition allowed them to compare images of unknown suspects to a database of reference photos. Last year alone (2024/25), South Wales Police used the technology on 2,715 images taken from sources including CCTV, dashcams, Ring doorbells, and mobile phones to help identify suspects. In December, officers from south Wales and Gwent were the first in the UK to be given a facial recognition mobile app meaning people's identities can be confirmed with the touch of the button. It enables officers to confirm the identity of someone who is missing, at risk or wanted in circumstances when they're unable to provide details, refuse to give details or provide false details. The app can also be used on someone who has passed away or are unconscious – helping officers to identify them promptly so their family can be reached with care and compassion. Known as Operator Initiated Facial Recognition (OIFR), it has already been tested by 70 officers across south Wales who were able to use it in a range of scenarios where people either refused to identify themselves or provided false details. The app allowed the safe return of a 15-year-old missing person from another part of the UK who it identified after he refused to give his details. He was returned to a place of safety after being identified using the app. Officers in South Wales were then able to contact the missing person's home force to inform them of his whereabouts.

Relieved Pakistanis recall 'horrifying nights' as Israel, Iran trade strikes
The 35-year-old University of Tehran student is one of about 3,000 Pakistanis who, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have returned home since Israel launched its aerial war against its long-time enemy last week. Governments around the world are scrambling to evacuate their nationals caught up in the rapidly spiralling conflict as Israel and Iran trade missile and drone strikes. "I was in the city centre where most of the strikes took place and even one of the student dormitories was attacked and luckily no one was dead, but students were injured," Hassan said. There are more than 500 Pakistani students at his university alone, he said, all of them on their way "back home". "Those days and nights were very horrifying... hearing sirens, the wailing, the danger of being hit by missiles. As one peeped out the window in the night, you could see drones, missiles with fire tails," he told AFP. Ghost town Pakistan and Iran have a shaky diplomatic relationship. They bombed each other's territory little more than a year ago, both claiming to target rebels using their neighbour's land to launch attacks. Yet they have never suspended trade, tourism and academic ties. Iranian consulates across Pakistan have stepped up efforts to promote their universities. Between 25 million and 35 million Pakistani Shiite Muslims also hope to make at least one pilgrimage in their lifetime to holy sites in Iran, foremost among them the sacred city of Qom. Mohammad Khalil, a 41-year-old petroleum engineer, left Tehran three days ago, the capital of the Islamic Republic looking like a ghost town as residents sheltered indoors and families fled. "In the last two days, I saw people moving out of the city in different vehicles with necessary commodities," Khalil said. Abdul Ghani Khan sells medical equipment in his hometown of Peshawar in northwest Pakistan and travels to Iran regularly for supplies. He had been in Tehran for a week when the first Israeli missiles fell on Friday. Iran and Israel have traded heavy missile fire in the days since, raising fears of a wider regional conflict. Pakistan is in a difficult position as the only Muslim-majority country with nuclear weapons. It, like Iran, does not recognise Israel but is also a major ally of the United States. Khan had to make the journey home by road because the airspace is now closed. Pakistan has also shut its border crossings with Iran to all except Pakistanis wanting to return home. "We saw drones, red lights of anti-aircraft guns and I spotted one building catch fire," Khan said. 'Offering prayer' Mohammad Asif, a lawyer from Lahore in Pakistan's east, heard about the air strikes while on a pilgrimage in Qom. He wasn't initially afraid and continued his pilgrimage to Mashhad in Iran's northeast, home to the golden-domed Imam Reza shrine. That was until Israeli strikes hit the airport in Mashhad, nearly 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) from the Pakistani border. Samreen Ali was also in Mashhad but, like Asif, cut her trip short and returned with her husband and 15-year-old son. She was praying in a mosque in Mashhad when Israel struck the city. Ali said she had visited Iran nine times before on pilgrimages and never imagined witnessing war there. "I was offering prayer when I heard two explosions," she told AFP. She then noticed she wasn't receiving messages on her phone and assumed that "communication was being restricted... because of the war". Syed Saqib, 46, was in Qom and had to travel 500 kilometres (310 miles) by bus southeast to Yazd. "We had to take alternative routes, spend an entire night waiting at a bus terminal," Saqib said. They then boarded buses to Zahedan, a city near the border with Pakistan's Balochistan province. A relieved Saqib recalled making the border crossing at Taftan, surrounded by families carrying heavy luggage.
