00:00Good day and welcome to the Gulf News Update for Monday, January the 26th.

00:09Here are the top stories at this hour.

00:12India celebrated its 66th Republic Day with a display of military might and cultural diversity

00:19in the national capital, with US President Barack Obama joining as chief guest.

00:24The ceremonies began with a tribute to soldiers who have died for the country.

00:28The parade included marching troops, military bands, a show of tanks, missiles and other

00:34military hardware, and camel-mounted paramilitary troops.

00:38A 54-year-old British woman died on Sunday morning after her car plunged six floors of

00:44a multi-storey parking building in Ahudavi.

00:47The victim had reportedly accelerated by mistake instead of hitting the brakes, causing her

00:52to fly over the metal fence on the parking ledge and consequently fall to the ground

00:57in her SUV.

01:00Greece awoke to a new era of defiant anti-austerity after voters handed a decisive victory to

01:07radical left party Syriza, putting the country on a collision course with the EU and international

01:12creditors.

01:14In a result that exceeded analysts' expectations, Syriza and its 40-year-old leader Alexis

01:20Tsipras won 149 seats in the 300-seat Greek Parliament, just two short of an absolute

01:27majority, with most of the votes counted.

01:49with last year's finalist Dominika Subulkova of Slovakia.

02:07Instead of collecting his second big win this season for House of Cards in Los Angeles,

02:12the actor attended the final day of a theatre programme he helped launch in the Emirate.

02:17The learning programme, called Homegrown, is an initiative by the Kevin Spacey Foundation

02:23to help emerging artists through scholarships and grants.

02:27And finally, the weather.
