00:07Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:11An Abu Dhabi doctor plans to cycle 160 kilometers in the scorching heat next Sunday to support
00:18cancer research and honor the memory of his father.
00:21Dr. Matthew Crowe, chairman of the Digestive Disease Institute at Cleveland Clinic Abu
00:27Dhabi, will participate in the charity ride VeloSano.
00:30Dr. Crowe lost his father to cancer in May and the charity ride is akin to cycling from
00:36Dubai to Fujairah.
00:38US President Donald Trump is facing a barrage of criticism for his comments in Helsinki
00:44with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
00:47Trump insisted in a tweet that he has great confidence in my intelligence people.
00:53But US lawmakers roundly condemned him for his comments, where he cast doubt on his own
00:58intelligence agency's findings that Russia meddled with the 2016 US presidential election.
01:07China announced its filing of a World Trade Organization challenge against the threat
01:12of $200 billion more in tariffs by the US.
01:16A Chinese government spokeswoman said fair trade called for international rules that

01:30Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo said that joining Juventus after a successful nine-year
01:36spell at reigning European champions Real Madrid meant moving forward.
01:40I would not say it's a backward step.
01:43I hope to carry Juventus to the highest level, Ronaldo said during his unveiling.
01:49The year of Cardi B continues, this time with 10 MTV Video Music Award nominations.
01:55MTV announced Monday that the rapper is the most nominated act at this year's show, which
02:00returns to New York City's Radio City Music Hall on August 20.
02:06Five of Cardi B's nominations are thanks to her Bruno Mars collaboration, Finesse remix.
