00:00Good day. Welcome to the Gulf News Update for Wednesday, January the 6th. Here are the
00:09top stories at this hour.
00:11North Korea said it successfully tested a miniaturized hydrogen nuclear device, claiming
00:16a significant advance in the isolated state's strike capability and setting off alarm bells
00:21in Japan and South Korea. The test, the fourth time North Korea has exploded a nuclear device,
00:28was ordered by young leader Kim Jong-un. Last month, Kim appeared to claim his country
00:33had developed a hydrogen bomb, but the United States and outside experts were skeptical
00:37at the time. The United Nations Security Council urged the warring parties in Yemen to resume
00:44a meaningful and sustainable ceasefire after it was officially called off by Saudi Arabia
00:49on Saturday, citing al-Houthi violations.
00:52The United Nations has designated Yemen as one of its highest-level humanitarian crises,
00:57alongside emergencies in South Sudan, Syria and Iraq. Football Association Chairman Greg
01:03Dyke says we'll all shoot ourselves if England failed to progress from their group at Euro
01:082016. Roy Hodgson's side have been drawn alongside Wales, Russia and Slovakia for the
01:16tournament in France, which starts on June 10.
01:19Star Wars The Force Awakens probably won't be earning a Best Picture Oscar nomination.
01:25Same for Quentin Tarantino's latest, The Hateful Eight. These are a few of the takeaways
01:30from the PGA Awards nomination slate.
01:33The Producers Guild of America and the Oscars lineups typically match at about an 80% rate,
01:38but there is one ironclad certainty. Every Best Picture Oscar winner has first been PGA-nominated
01:45since the Producers Guild began giving out awards in 1990.
01:49The Consumer Electronics Show opens in Las Vegas later today, and Gulf News tech reporter
01:55Nashad Sheril is on the spot to bring you the latest news of developments. More than
02:003,600 exhibitors will be promoting an estimated 20,000 new products and next-generation technologies,
02:08including wearables, robots, smart homes, 3D printers, smart cars and more.
02:14And finally, weather. Today's high across the UAE will be 24 degrees Celsius, dropping
02:19to 17 degrees at night.
02:20That's all for now. Thanks for watching, and as always, you can get the latest news
