00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.

00:10Skilled workers, both Emirati and expatriates, can now enter a multiple employer contract

00:16after obtaining approval of the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization, according

00:22to a new ministerial decision.

00:25Under the decision, companies can recruit skilled workers, holders of university degrees

00:30or higher, and those who have completed their diploma in any field, from inside the country

00:36or overseas, under part-time contracts.

00:40This will allow these workers to take several part-time jobs without approval of the original

00:46or other employers.

00:48The new system is implemented alongside the existing system, which allows employers and

00:53workers to establish a normal business relationship under fixed-term or indefinite contracts.

01:07abroad over revelations that a firm working for Donald Trump's presidential campaign harvested

01:14and misused data on 50 million members.

01:23explosive reports of misuse of its data by suspending the account of Cambridge Analytica,

01:30a British firm hired by Trump's 2016 campaign.

01:40a private equity firm, the latest twist in its efforts to survive the sexual misconduct

01:46scandal that brought down co-founder Harvey Weinstein, shook Hollywood and triggered a

01:52movement that spread out to Kahnwald's other industries.

01:56The company also announced it was releasing any victims of or witnesses to Weinstein's

02:02alleged misconduct from non-disclosure agreements, preventing them from speaking out.
