00:00Good day, welcome to the Gulf News update for Wednesday February 15th. Here are the
00:07top stories at this hour.
00:09India's space agency said it successfully launched more than 100 foreign nano-satellites
00:13into orbit aboard a single rocket.
00:16The Indian Space Research Organisation said the nano-satellites, those weighing less than
00:2010kg, were sent into orbit on board its Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle in southern India.
00:26The agency said the launching of the 104 satellites was a record, overtaking Russia's
00:31feat of sending 37 satellites in a single launch in 2014.
00:36Just six days into his presidency, Donald Trump was informed his national security adviser
00:41had misled his vice president about contacts with Russia. Trump kept his number two in
00:46the dark and waited nearly three weeks before ousting the aide, Michael Flynn, citing a
00:51slow but steady erosion of trust, White House officials said.
00:55President Donald Trump won't centre his Israel-Palestinian policy goals around achieving a two-state
01:00solution to the conflict. Briefing reporters ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's
01:04visit to the White House today, an official said it's Trump's view that it's not for the
01:09US to impose its vision for the terms of a peace deal.
01:13Barcelona coach Luis Enrique admitted his side needed a heroic performance in the return
01:18to stand any chance of overturning a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in their
01:24Champions League last-16 first leg.
01:26They were superior to us from the start, he told reporters.
01:31Guns N' Roses have apologised after confusing the southern city of Melbourne with Sydney
01:35on their Australian tour. Concertgoers booed the US rockers when guitar technician McBob
01:41said hello to Sydney at the Melbourne cricket ground as he introduced the group on stage.
01:46Sydney, you want the best but they're stuck in traffic so here's what you get, he said.
01:51And finally, the weather. Today's high across the UAE will be 30 degrees Celsius, dropping
01:55to 22 degrees at night.
