Good day and welcome to the Gulf News Update for Tuesday, January the 22nd.
00:14
Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:16
Thick fog covered the UAE this morning, leading to traffic jams and minor accidents amid very
00:20
low visibility.
00:22
The Met Office has forecast more fog tonight and tomorrow morning.
00:25
Traffic police have warned motorists to be extra vigilant while driving in the fog.
00:29
Today's high across the UAE will be 25 degrees Celsius, dropping to 5 degrees at night.
00:34
The UAE's central bank will not impose mortgage loan caps for at least six to nine months,
00:39
a senior official told Gulf News.
00:40
A cap could be enforced before the end of 2013, but any directive would be done in consultation
00:45
with local banks, the official said.
00:48
Israelis vote today in an election expected to re-elect Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:53
The Arab League has taken the unusual step of intervening in Israeli politics, urging
00:57
the Arab minority to flock to the polls.
00:59
Otherwise, they warn, the country will be taken over by a far-right government that
01:03
will step up colony expansion in the West Bank.
01:06
Bahrain's King has invited opposition parties to restart stalled talks in the latest effort
01:11
to break political deadlock in the country.
01:13
The formal invitation from King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa will carry extra clout, and
01:17
the aim is to achieve further consensus around the political agenda.
01:22
A suicide car bombing in central Syria killed at least 30 people on Monday, while another
01:26
powerful blast was reported in Damascus.
01:28
Meanwhile, the Arab League said UN efforts to end the conflict had failed to bring even
01:33
a glimmer of hope.
01:34
U.S. President Barack Obama has inaugurated his second term with a call for unity, but
01:39
warned his foes their absolutism must not thwart action on climate, immigration and
01:43
gun control.
01:44
But if it's possible to steal the show from the U.S. President on Inauguration Day, Beyonce
01:48
may well have done it.
01:50
The singer's performance of the U.S. national anthem following Obama's swearing-in set the
01:54
internet alight, with tributes to her vocal prowess and even her hairstyle.
01:58
Sport – and in the only Premiership match last night, Southampton forced an impressive
02:02
goalless draw with fifth-placed Everton.
02:05
In cricket, former Indian skipper Anil Kumble will replace Sean Pollock as the mentor of
02:10
the Mumbai Indians team for the sixth edition of the Indian Premier League.
02:14
That's all for now.
02:15
Thanks for watching.
