00:00Good day. Welcome to the Gulf News Update for Monday, November the 11th. Here are the
00:09top stories at this hour.
00:12Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is facing a mutiny from senior members of his Bharatiya
00:16Janata Party for the first time in his premiership after a humiliating election defeat in the
00:22pivotal state of Bihar exposed deep rifts over his leadership. Three party elders, including
00:28former Deputy Prime Minister LK Advani, released a statement questioning the direction of the
00:33party, which risks embarrassing Modi just ahead of a visit to Britain.
00:38Russia wants the Syrian government and opposition to agree on launching a constitutional reform
00:43process of up to 18 months, followed by early presidential elections. The eight-point proposal
00:49drawn up by Moscow before international talks in Syria this week does not rule out President
00:55Bashar al-Assad's participation in the elections, something his foes say is impossible if there
01:00is to be peace.
01:03In cricket, England will look to shake off the Test series drubbing as a new-look team
01:07takes on Pakistan in the first of the one-day internationals at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium
01:12in Abu Dhabi today. The match starts at 3pm UE time and will be telecast live on OSN Sports
01:19High Definition Cricket.
01:21Katy Perry spoke some home truths to the crowd at the Dubai Airshow Gala on Tuesday
01:25night.
01:26You're all pretty successful wheeler-dealers, she told them after opening her show with
01:31her empowerment hit, Raw. But being an older, suit-and-tie-glad aviation executive doesn't
01:36mean you can't have a good time, the singer said, crouching down to help a rather bewildered
01:41audience member loosen his tie.
01:44Perry's performance also marked the launch of a new initiative called Music DXB, featuring
01:49performances from international artists at Dubai International Airport.
01:54Get ready for what might be a wet afternoon and evening and Thursday for areas along the
01:59coast. There is a chance of rain cloud formation this afternoon that may bring rain in Fujairah,
02:05northeastern parts of the country and coastal areas such as Dubai and Sharjah. Rain clouds
02:10may bring light showers on the western coastal areas of Abu Dhabi by evening. Today's high
02:15across the UAE will be 37 degrees Celsius, dropping to 26 degrees at night.
02:20That's all for now. Thanks for watching. But as always, you can get the latest news
