00:00Good day. Welcome to the Gulf News Update for Wednesday, November the 25th. Here are
00:10the top stories at this hour. Hundreds of expatriates lost all their belongings and
00:15identity documents in a massive fire that ravaged an old building on Salahuddin Street
00:20on Monday night. Residents told Gulf News that three blocks of the 40-year-old building
00:25were gutted, forcing at least 500 residents out in the cold. The façade of the five-storey
00:31building and at least half of the 48 apartments have been gutted. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry
00:38Medvedev said the downing of a Russian warplane by Turkey could result in cancelling some
00:43important joint projects, and Turkish companies could lose Russian market share as a result.
00:50Turkey shot down the plane near its border with north-eastern Syria early Tuesday, marking
00:55the first direct clash between foreign powers embroiled in the Syrian war. Tunisia's President,
01:02Beji Kayed al-Sebsi, has declared a nationwide state of emergency and a curfew in the capital
01:09after a bomb attack on a presidential guard bus that killed at least 12 people last night.
01:15No group immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing, which a ministry official
01:19said also wounded 20 people when it went off just as this year's Carthage Film Festival
01:25was in full swing. A white Chicago policeman was charged with
01:30murdering a black teenager on Tuesday, hours before authorities released a graphic video
01:36showing the youth walking away from officers as he is shot 16 times. The footage of last
01:42year's shooting, made public under orders from a judge, prompted mostly peaceful street
01:47demonstrations in Chicago. The fourth edition of the Abu Dhabi Electronic
01:53Shopper opened its doors today with exclusive promotions and offers by some of the UAE's
01:59spa retailers. Antoine Georges, managing director of Dome Exhibitions, which organises ADES,
02:05said retailers were targeting consumers with offers available only at the four-day event
02:11and not at their retail outlets. In sport, holders Barcelona celebrated qualifying
02:17for the last 16 of the Champions League with a stunning display last night. Luis Suarez
02:23and Lionel Messi both scored twice in a 6-1 win against Roma. Bayern Munich also secured
02:29their place in the knockout draw, crushing Olympiacos 4-0 at the Allianz Arena. At the
02:36English Premier League, Arsenal kept their hopes alive by beating Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 while
02:42Chelsea cruised to a 4-0 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv. In just four days, Adele's 25 has
02:50officially set a new first-week sales record, moving 2.433 million albums since its release
02:57on Friday. On Tuesday, Nielsen Music said the British singer broke the record previously
03:02set by NSYNC in 2000. The new album's first single, Hello, is spending its fourth week
03:09on top of Billboard's Hot 100 chart. And finally, the weather. Today's high
03:14across the UAE will be 28 degrees Celsius, dropping to 22 degrees at night. That's all
