Good day and welcome to the Gulf News update for Thursday August the 13th.
00:09
Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:11
A massive truck bomb ripped through a popular Baghdad food market in a predominantly Shiite neighbourhood early today,
00:17
killing at least 60 people and wounding more than 100.
00:20
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack,
00:23
but Daesh terrorists commonly target military checkpoints for predominantly Shiite neighbourhoods.
00:28
Former President Jimmy Carter, who at age 90 still travels the world supporting humanitarian endeavours,
00:34
has announced he has cancer that has spread to other parts of his body.
00:37
Recent liver surgery revealed,
00:39
I have cancer that is now in other parts of my body, Carter said in a statement.
00:43
Two huge explosions tore through an industrial area where toxic chemicals and gas were stored in the northeast Chinese port city of Tianjin,
00:51
killing at least 44 people, officials and state media said.
00:55
At least 520 people were injured, the Tianjin government said.
00:59
Wednesday night's blast, so large that they were seen by satellites in space,
01:02
sent shockwaves through apartment blocks kilometres away in the port city of 15 million people.
01:08
In sport, India's opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan scored his second consecutive hundred
01:13
as he and captain Virat Kohli took India past Sri Lanka's first innings total on the second day of the opening test at Galta Day.
01:20
Resuming on 128 for 2, Dhawan, 110 and Kohli, 86, continue to frustrate the Sri Lankan bowlers.
01:27
Three more women have accused comedian Bill Cosby of sexual assault, providing detailed allegations of abuse.
01:33
They said the veteran television star subjected them to decades ago.
01:37
Colleen Hughes and Linda Ridgeway White Deer said Cosby, 78, had sexually assaulted them in the early 1970s,
01:44
while Eden Turrell said he sexually harassed her on the Cosby show set in 1989.
01:49
The women were speaking at a press conference hosted by celebrity attorney Gloria Alred,
01:54
who represents 21 of the more than 40 women who have come forward in the past year,
01:59
accusing Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting them.
02:02
And finally, the weather. Today's high across the UAE will be 42 degrees Celsius, dropping to 31 degrees at night.
02:09
That's all for now. Thank you for watching.
