00:00Good day. Welcome to the Gulf News Update for Tuesday, November the 12th. Here are the
00:10top stories at this hour.
00:12US and British warships were deployed today to the typhoon-ravaged Philippines, where
00:17more than 10,000 people are feared dead and countless survivors are begging for help in
00:21rain-soaked wastelands. Four days after Super Typhoon Haiyan destroyed entire coastal towns,
00:28the magnitude of the disaster continues to build. Nearly 10 million people have been
00:32affected while 660,000 have lost their homes. There's good news for some Filipinos based
00:38in the UAE, as they have received word from their families in typhoon-hit Tacloban. But
00:43for many others, it's all about fearful waiting for news.
00:48Iran's foreign minister has lashed out at US Secretary of State on Twitter after John
00:52Kerry said Iranians were unable to accept the nuclear deal that major powers were unified
00:57on in Geneva.
00:58Mr. Secretary, was it Iran that gutted over half of US draft Thursday night and publicly
01:04commented against it Friday morning, tweeted Zarif, presumably referring to France, which
01:09was reportedly blamed by diplomats for the failure of the talks.
01:13Egypt is the worst country to be a woman in in the Arab world today, followed closely
01:17by Iraq and Saudi Arabia. That's according to a Thomson Reuters poll on 22 Arab states.
01:23Egypt scored badly in almost every category, including gender violence, reproductive rights,
01:28treatment of women in the family, and their inclusion in politics and the economy.
01:33In sport, Novak Djokovic reigned supreme at the ATP World Tour finals yet again, as the
01:38defending champion crushed world number one Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-4 in last night's final.
01:44In cricket, AB de Villa stormed to an unbeaten century to help South Africa beat Pakistan
01:49by 117 runs in the final one day at Insharjah last night. The win gives the Proteas a 4-1
01:56victory in the series.
01:58Viewers of the National Geographic channel are slightly more interested in the Kennedy
02:02assassination than the killing of Abraham Lincoln, enough to set a viewing record for
02:06the 12-year-old network. The Killing Kennedy film was watched by 3.4 million people on
02:11Sunday night, edging out the telecast of Killing Lincoln to become the most watched show ever
02:16on the network by 3,000 viewers. Killing Kennedy airs in the UAE on November 17th.
02:23And finally, the weather. Today's high across the UAE will be 30 degrees Celsius, dropping
02:27to 22 at night.
02:29That's all for now. Thanks for watching. As always, you can get the latest news at
