More than 700 new high-tech speed cameras will be installed on the roads of Abu Dhabi, police said.

The new cameras use multi-tracking radars with high-resolution imagery to cover various lanes.

They will also be equipped with weather monitoring technology to improve safety on the roads, said Maj Muhammad Abdullah Al Zaabi, head of Abu Dhabi Police’s Traffic Technical Systems Section.

He said installing the new cameras is in line with the vision of UAE leaders to make the country a safer place for residents

"This initiative comes as part of the Abu Dhabi Police's efforts to enhance traffic safety for drivers and road users and as part of its strategy to prepare for the next 50 years,” he said.

The new cameras have been designed by French technology firm IDEMIA and traffic management company Alliance Traffic Systems, a security system supplier in Abu Dhabi.

Dr Amal Khalid Alias revealed a recent case of a woman with daughters, who specifically wanted a boy.

A semen analysis of the father showed abnormal sperm so the couple required IVF.

Out of 21 eggs collected, six were unused leaving 15 suitable for IVF.

A specific procedure was used, called intracytoplasmic sperm injection where a single sperm cell is inserted into the egg.

On day three of the process, 14 embryos were biopsied for gender selection.

The next day, a pre-implantation genetic report revealed four normal male embryos, three female and seven abnormal samples.

Day five of the treatment saw two male embryos transferred to the patient.

The woman recorded a positive pregnancy test two weeks later.
