00:00Good day, welcome to the Gulf News Update for Sunday, January the 15th.
00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:09More than 70 diplomats from around the world are gathering in Paris to urge renewed Middle
00:13East peace talks that would lead to a Palestinian state.
00:16The French organizers hope Sunday's conference will send a strong message to Israeli Prime
00:21Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President-elect Donald Trump that much of the world wants
00:26a two-state solution to the protracted Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
00:30Countries fear Trump will unleash new tensions in the region by condoning Israeli colonies
00:35on Palestinian land and potentially moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem.
00:42Chelsea made light of striker Diego Costa's absence to extend their lead at the top of
00:46the Premier League to seven points last night with a 3-0 win at Leicester City.
00:52After Tottenham Hotspur and a ruthless Arsenal kept up the pressure at the top with 4-0 victories,
00:59Chelsea found an unlikely hero in wing-back Marcos Alonso, who scored their first two
01:04goals.
01:05After 146 years, the curtain is coming down on the greatest show on the earth.
01:10The owner of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus say the show will close forever
01:14in May.
01:15The iconic American spectacle was felled by a variety of factors, including declining
01:20attendance, high operation costs, and prolonged battles with animal rights groups.
01:26The circus, with its exotic animals, flashy costumes, and death-defying acrobats, has
01:31been a staple of entertainment in the US since the mid-1800s.
01:36David Bowie could be in line to receive two posthumous Brit Awards after being shortlisted
01:41Saturday for next month's ceremony.
01:43Bowie, who died on January 10 last year, was nominated Best British Male Solo Artist alongside
01:49Craig David, Skepta, and Michael Kiwanuka.
01:53He was also shortlisted in the British Album of the Year category for Black Star, released
01:57on his 69th birthday, two days before he died.
02:01And finally, weather.
02:02Today's high across the UAE will be 23 degrees Celsius, dropping to 14 degrees at night.
02:08That's all for now.
