00:00Good day and welcome to the Gulf News Update for Tuesday, October the 16th.
00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:09A British national has been referred to the Abu Dhabi Court of Appeal for trial over charges
00:15of espionage in the UAE.
00:18He was found guilty of seeking and communicating classified information for the benefit of
00:22a foreign country in the UAE.
00:25The prosecution also exercised the full guarantees to the rights of the accused during the investigations
00:31as per the UAE constitution and the UAE laws.
00:35The case of the accused, who is identified as Matthew Hedges, was also being followed
00:40by the British Embassy in Abu Dhabi.
00:43Theresa May has told Tory MPs it was time for cool, calm Hedges to prevail as she insisted
00:49a deal on Brexit was achievable in the face of a Cabinet revolt.
00:54The Prime Minister said Eurosceptic MPs were rightly concerned that Britain might be left
00:58in permanent limbo under a customs union backstop after Brexit.
01:04But she refused to meet the demands for a hard time limit to be included in the agreement.
01:09Instead, she suggested that she would include an exit clause to ensure the UK was not trapped
01:14in a customs union.
01:16Raheem Sterling scored twice as England delivered one of their finest victories in recent times
01:22by beating Spain 3-2 in Seville last night.
01:25This was certainly England's best win under Gareth Southgate and perhaps their most impressive
01:31since thrashing Germany 5-1 in Munich in 2001.
01:36Marcus Rashford was the other scorer in a breathless opening 45 minutes which witnessed
01:42Spain conceding three on home soil for the first time.
01:46The glitter and sparkle of Bollywood is making its way to the Dubai Opera stage until Saturday
01:52with the musical Taj Express.
01:55It centres on the world of Shankar who owns a music studio and who aspires to be like
02:00Grammy-winning composer A.R. Rahman.
02:04We wanted to make Taj Express about a boy meeting a girl and their journey from Kashmir
02:08to Kanyakumari, says choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant.
02:13And finally the weather, today's high across the UAE will be 34 degrees Celsius dropping
02:18to 26 degrees at night.
02:20That's all for now, thanks for watching and as always you can get the latest updates on
