Good day and welcome to the Gulf News update for Tuesday, August 18. Here are the top stories
00:10
at this hour.
00:11
Thailand's Junta leader said a suspect had been identified in the bombing of a packed
00:15
Bangkok religious shrine, condemning the blast that has killed more than 25 people as the
00:20
worst ever attack on the kingdom. The attack occurred on Monday in one of the Thai capital's
00:24
most popular tourism hubs, ripping through a crowd of worshippers at the Hindu shrine
00:29
close to five-star hotels and upscale shopping malls. Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services
00:34
has called on residents to become certified first aid volunteers in case they are faced
00:39
with an emergency situation that requires immediate assistance. The first aid program
00:44
provides a full week of training, including a certification card that legally allows them
00:48
to rush to the aid of people before paramedics arrive.
00:52
Former Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa's hopes of returning to power hung by a thread
00:57
as he first appeared to concede defeat, but then backed away and said he wanted to wait
01:01
official results on Monday's parliamentary vote. His opponents refrained from claiming
01:05
victory and results were still being tallied.
01:08
Athletic Bilbao claimed their first trophy in 31 years as they drew 1-1 with 10-man Barcelona
01:14
to win the Spanish Super Cup 5-1 on Agra last night. Lionel Messi had given the European
01:19
champions a glimmer of hope with the opener two minutes before half-time. Barcelona's
01:24
Gerard Pique was shown a red card for descent 10 minutes into the second half, and Oritz
01:29
and Duritz followed up his hat-trick in the first leg with the crucial away goal.
01:34
A man who delighted thousands of children by impersonating Batman at hospital and charity
01:39
events died when he was hit by a car while standing in the fast lane of a highway, checking
01:44
the engine of his custom-made Batmobile. Leonard B. Robinson, 51, of Maryland, was returning
01:49
from a weekend festival in West Virginia when he was struck by a car on Sunday west of Baltimore.
01:55
And finally, the weather today's high across the UAE will be 44 degrees Celsius, dropping
02:00
to 31 degrees at night.
02:02
That's all for now. Thank you for watching and as always, you can get the latest news
