00:00Hello, I'm Adam Gilchrist and welcome to a special Gulf News update for Tuesday, November

00:07the 8th.

00:08Here are the top stories this hour.

00:10Donald Trump is off to a very early lead in the 2016 US presidential election, winning

00:16over the voters of three New Hampshire precincts by a 32 to 25 margin over rival Hillary Clinton.

00:23Polls in three tiny New Hampshire towns opened just after midnight Tuesday and closed as

00:28soon as everyone had voted.

00:30Pop diva Lady Gaga, meanwhile, closed out Clinton's star-studded campaign with a call

00:35for reconciliation with Trump's supporters after one of the most divisive presidential

00:40election campaigns in memory.

00:42Speaking to a youthful crowd at a midnight rally, the 30-year-old singer hailed Clinton

00:47as an advocate for the disadvantaged.

00:49A $1.3 billion Durham development plan for Hatta was launched on Monday by His Highness

00:55Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and

01:00ruler of Dubai.

01:01The plans were unveiled following Sheikh Mohammed's directives to enhance the social and economic

01:06capabilities of Hatta and to boost its attractiveness as a tourism destination.

01:11South Indian superstar Mammootty on Monday made his fans gathered at the Shahjah International

01:16Book Fair wait for more than an hour.

01:19But his tardiness was soon forgotten as he won them over with his dry humour and sardonic

01:24self-evaluation of his stardom.

01:27The national award-winning actor also implored his fans to inculcate the habit of reading

01:31books and to extend their knowledge further.

01:34And finally, the weather.

01:35Today's high across the UAE will be 33 degrees Celsius, dropping to 23 overnight.

01:41That's all for now and thanks for watching.
