00:00Good day and welcome to the Gulf News Update for Sunday, September the 27th.
00:09Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:12Thousands of people marked the one-year anniversary of the disappearance of 43 students by marching
00:18down Mexico City's Premier Avenue in an atmosphere of defiant hope.
00:24Activists said the movement might bring justice for Mexico's disappeared, though only two
00:29of the students' remains have been identified by DNA analysis of charred bone fragments.
00:36While the march was smaller than past demonstrations, the case has helped publicise the thousands
00:42who have gone missing since Mexico's drug war started in 2006.
00:48David Cameron will call for a new diplomatic drive to end Syria's civil war as he meets
00:54world leaders at the United Nations in New York.
00:57The UK Prime Minister is expected to drop his opposition to Syrian President Bashar
01:02al-Assad playing a role in any transitional government.
01:06But he is expected to insist al-Assad stands down to allow reconciliation.
01:12Voters in Catalonia are participating in an election that could propel the north-eastern
01:17region toward independence from the rest of Spain or quell secessionism for years.
01:24Unionists have long pushed for an independence referendum, but Spain's central government
01:28has not allowed one, arguing it would be unconstitutional because only it can call such a vote.
01:36Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton returned to dominant form, winning the Japanese Grand
01:41Prix to move a step closer to claiming his second straight Formula One title.
01:47Teammate Nico Rosberg finished second, as Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel was third.
01:53With five races left, Hamilton has a 48-point lead over Rosberg.
01:59Jackie Chan will film his latest movie, Kung Fu Yoga, in Dubai from 28 September to 30
02:06October, the first time he is filming in the Middle East.
02:09The film, directed by Stanley Tong, will film in Dubai for 33 days and will bring around
02:15100 international crew to the Emirate, as well as use a large pool of local talent for
02:22filming.
02:23And finally, the weather.
02:24Today's high across the UAE will be 39 degrees Celsius, dropping to 26 degrees at night.
02:30That's all for now.
