Good day. Welcome to the Gulf News Update for Monday, August 11. Here are the top stories
00:10
at this hour. Diversion work for the construction of flyovers
00:14
on Al-Wasl Road and Jumeirah Beach Road will begin soon. The announcement comes as the
00:18
work on all three phases of the Dubai Canal project is ongoing. A senior official said
00:23
that the RTA will make sure that there is no disturbance to the flow of traffic during
00:27
the diversions. The U.S. has thrown its weight behind Iraqi
00:31
President Fouad Massoum after he was accused by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki of violating
00:36
the constitution. Al-Maliki later gave a speech saying he will file a complaint against Iraq's
00:41
new Kurdish president. Al-Maliki has been under intense pressure from the international
00:45
community to step down over his divisive policies. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
00:51
promised the start of a new era after winning presidential elections in an easy triumph,
00:56
despite fears the country is creeping towards one-man rule. The polls were the first time
01:01
Turkey has directly elected its president, who was previously chosen by Parliament.
01:06
In sport, Rory McIlroy put himself among golf's greatest legends last night by winning his
01:11
fourth major title in dramatic fashion. Three weeks after winning the British Open, the
01:16
25-year-old from Northern Ireland captured the PGA Championships in a shot-maker showdown
01:21
at Rainsoft in Valhalla. Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort of The Fault of Our Stars
01:27
rode a victorious wave at the Teen Choice Awards. The pair picked up several prizes
01:32
at Sunday's fan-favorite extravaganza, including Choice Drama Movie Actor and Breakout Movie
01:37
Star for Elgort and Choice Drama and Action Movie Actress for Divergent star Woodley.
01:43
The pair was also awarded the surfboard-shaped trophy for Choice Lip Lock for their Fault
01:48
in Our Stars smooch.
01:50
And finally, weather. Today's high across the UAE will be 41 degrees Celsius, dropping
01:54
to 32 degrees at night.
01:56
That's all for now. Thanks for watching and as always, you can get the latest news
