00:00Good day, welcome to the Gulf News update for Wednesday, January the 3rd.
00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:09Donald Trump has escalated his war of words with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
00:14The US president tweeted that his nuclear button was much bigger and more powerful than
00:19the North Korean leaders.
00:21He was responding to Kim's New Year Day speech, during which the North Korean leader
00:25boasted the US is within the range of a nuclear strike.
00:30Many businesses in the Indian financial hub of Mumbai closed today as protesters from
00:35a certain community blocked traffic and shopping malls.
00:38The Dalit protesters also staged sit-ins on railway lines after clashes with right-wing
00:44Hindu hardliners.
00:46The call for a general strike across the western state of Maharashtra led to largely peaceful
00:51protests.
00:52But life in many parts of Mumbai was disrupted with Dalits pelting buses with stones and
00:58deflating tyres.
00:59Chances of Dubai's home prices starting to record sharp gains are marginal, even if developers
01:05fail to meet their project handover schedules in the next three years.
01:09According to real estate analysts, developers could have handed over about 15,000 units
01:14in 2017, far removed from the 30,000 predicted at the start of last year.
01:20The UAE defeated Iraq 4-2 to set up a title clash with Oman in the Gulf Cup at the Jabar
01:26al-Ahmad International Stadium on Tuesday night.
01:29In England, Manchester City stretched their lead at the top of the table to 15 points
01:34with a 3-1 win over Watford.
01:37Paris Hilton, the hotel heiress who became a reality star and DJ, is going from single
01:42life to married life.
01:44Hilton confirmed that the actor Beau's Chris Zylka had popped the question and she said
01:50yes.
01:51Zylka, 32, proposed while the couple was vacationing in Aspen over New Year's weekend, according
01:57to People.
01:58And finally, the weather.
01:59Today's high across the UAE will be 23 degrees Celsius, dropping to 20 degrees at night.
