00:00Good day, welcome to the Gulf News update for Thursday, April the 20th, here are the
00:06top stories at this hour.
00:08US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has accused Iran of alarming ongoing provocations to destabilize
00:15countries in the Middle East.
00:16The comments by the top US diplomat came as the Trump administration launched a review
00:21of its policy towards Tehran.
00:24Tillerson said the review would look at Tehran's behavior in the region, which he said undermined
00:29US interests in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon.
00:33Emirates will be cutting down on its flights to the US following the recently imposed electronics
00:38ban coupled with visa restrictions, resulting in weakened travel demand.
00:43The airline said Wednesday that starting next month it would be reducing flights to five
00:47of the 12 US cities it currently serves.
00:50The cities are Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Seattle, Boston and Los Angeles.
00:56It's been nearly a year since Prince died from an accidental drug overdose in a suburban
01:01Minneapolis studio and estate.
01:03Yet investigators still have not interviewed a key associate or asked a grand jury to consider
01:09whether criminal charges are warranted.
01:12Prince was 57 when he was found alone and unresponsive in an elevator at his Paisley
01:17Park home on April 21.
01:20Officials said he died of an overdose of fentanyl, a synthetic drug 50 times more powerful than
01:26heroin.
01:28And finally, the weather.
01:29Today's high across the UAE will be 33 degrees Celsius, dropping to 25 degrees at night.
01:35That's all for now.
