Good day and welcome to the Golf News update for Thursday, January 8th. Here are the top
00:09
stories at this hour.
00:11
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said there were several arrests overnight in the hunt
00:15
for two suspects in the deadly shooting at a satirical newspaper. Valls said preventing
00:19
another attack is the main concern. Twelve people died in the attack on the offices of
00:24
Charlie Hebdo, a weekly newspaper.
00:27
A fierce winter storm has brought freezing temperatures to the Middle East, raising worries
00:31
about the plight of the millions of refugees. Winter storm Huda, forecast to last several
00:36
days, has brought snowfall and freezing temperatures to Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Turkey. Israel,
00:42
the West Bank and the Gaza Strip have also been affected.
00:45
Sri Lanka Tamils went to the polls in large numbers, defying what the opposition said
00:50
were attempts to discourage voting in the heavily militarised Jaffna Peninsula, where
00:54
President Mahinda Rajapaksa is widely disliked. Witnesses heard a loud blast as voting got
01:00
underway in the northern region, which was on the front line of a decades-long civil
01:04
war that only ended in 2009.
01:07
Real Madrid suffered their second successive defeat when they were beaten 2-0 by city rivals
01:13
Atletico in the first leg of their Spanish Kings Cup last-16 tie at the Vincente Calderon
01:18
Stadium last night. Striker Fernando Torres played his first game for the hosts since
01:23
re-signing on loan from AC Milan, but it was Raul Garcia and Jimenez de Vargas who
01:28
scored the goals.
01:29
Bill Cosby got a standing ovation from polite Canadian fans at the end of his first show
01:34
since November, where protesters outside braved below-freezing weather to shame the ticket
01:39
holders as they streamed in. Cosby's show in Kitchener was the first of three performances
01:43
planned in Canada's Ontario province and came in the wake of sexual assault allegations
01:48
from more than 15 women. The entertainer saw at least 10 performances get cancelled
01:52
on his North American tour.
01:55
And finally, the weather stays high across the UAE, with 28 degrees Celsius dropping
01:59
to 18 degrees at night.
02:01
That's all for now, thank you for watching. A reminder that our next bulletin will be
02:04
on Sunday, but as always, you can get the latest news on golfnews.com
