00:00Good day. Welcome to the Gulf News update for Wednesday, August the 10th. Here are the

00:06top stories at this hour.

00:09Iraq's health ministry spokesman says a fire that erupted overnight at a Baghdad hospital

00:14has killed 11 newborn babies. The blaze broke out late on Tuesday night inside the maternity

00:20department at the Yarmouk Hospital, which is located in western Baghdad. An initial

00:26investigation suggests the fire was due to an electricity failure.

00:31White House hopeful Donald Trump, already deserted by some fellow Republicans, came

00:35under sharp scrutiny over controversial comments that some people interpreted as a threat of

00:42violence against his rival Hillary Clinton. Trump's intended message was not immediately

00:47clear, but lawmakers and former national security officials expressed concern that he had advocated,

00:54possibly in jest, that Clinton or her Supreme Court nominees could be shot.

01:00Samsung launched its latest flagship phone, the Note 7, in a bid to capitalise on the

01:05momentum the company gained earlier in the year with the launch of its S7 models. It

01:11usually launches its phablets in September, but this time around decided to repeat its

01:16successful early release strategy with the Note 5's launch last August.

01:22Michael Phelps bagged the 21st gold medal of his incredible Olympic career, anchoring

01:28the United States to victory in the 4x200m freestyle relay. Phelps earlier collected

01:34his 20th gold for his superb victory in the 200m butterfly.

01:40A fan of Suicide Squad has threatened to sue Warner Bros for false advertising after scenes

01:46of the Joker were not included in the final cut of the movie. The fan believes that he

01:51should be entitled to a refund after he drove 480km to London to watch the specific scenes

01:58explicitly advertised in TV ads.

02:02And finally, the weather. Today's high across the UAE will be 44 degrees Celsius, dropping

02:06to 32 degrees at night.
