00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:08Dubai police have confirmed that there will be further delays in repatriating the body
00:13of Indian actress Sridevi, who died in Dubai on Saturday.
00:17Officials at the Forensic Medicine Department announced this morning that the final post-mortem
00:21reports of their investigation were not ready.
00:24This means that the repatriation of Sridevi's mortal remains to India is likely to be further
00:29delayed.
00:30Senior Indian officials said they would wait for the Dubai police to issue the results
00:34to carry out the rest of the procedures for the repatriation.
00:37The toxicology reports of tests done on blood and organs of Sridevi are expected to reveal
00:43the exact cause of her death.
00:45The actress and family were in Dubai after attending the wedding of her nephew and actor
00:50Mohit Marwa in Ras Al Khaimah.
00:52Grieving relatives, friends and millions of devastated fans in India are awaiting the
00:56arrival of Sridevi's body to Mumbai for the funeral.
00:59The National Rifle Association pushed back against modest proposals by President Donald
01:04Trump and other Republicans to change the US gun laws.
01:08The amendments had gathered steam after a school shooting in Florida that killed 17
01:13students and staff.
01:14But the powerful gun lobby group said it does not support Trump's proposals to raise the
01:19age limit for buying certain types of guns.
01:22It also disagreed with a ban on pump stocks that enables semi-automatic rifles to shoot
01:28hundreds of rounds a minute.
