00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:08Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev described new U.S. sanctions as a full-fledged economic
00:14war on Moscow, saying they crushed hopes for repairing ties and demonstrated President
00:19Donald Trump's total weakness in the most humiliating way.
00:23Trump reluctantly signed off on the new sanctions, bowing to domestic pressure, after the White
00:28House failed to scupper the bill or water it down.
00:31Medvedev warned the move would have consequences, saying it ends hopes for improving our relations
00:36with the new U.S. administration.
00:39One of the founding members of the 1980s hip-hop group Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five

00:49Nathaniel Glover, 57, also known as the Kid Creole, was arrested on Wednesday night on
00:55murder charges.
00:57The stabbing happened in midtown Manhattan shortly before midnight on Monday.

01:06It's not clear what sparked the stabbing.
01:08Neymar is expected to arrive in Paris today to finalize his world-record €222 million
01:15move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain, which will earn him around €30 million a

01:21The summer's longest-running transfer saga will end in the French capital, with new teammates
01:25already queuing up to welcome him.
01:27On the field, Neymar faces the challenge of stepping out of the shadow of five-time World
01:31Player of the Year Lionel Messi to try and prove himself as the world's best.
01:36And finally, weather.
