00:00Good day and welcome to the Gulf News Update for Sunday, April the 9th.
00:05Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:08The US Navy said on Saturday it had sent a carrier-led strike group to the Korean Peninsula
00:13in a show of force against North Korea's reckless nuclear weapons program.
00:17The move will raise tensions in the region and comes hard on the heels of a US missile
00:22strike on Syria that was widely interpreted as putting Pyongyang on warning over its refusal
00:27to abandon its nuclear ambitions.
00:30Residents of the Syrian town devastated by a chemical weapons attack on Tuesday said
00:34warplanes had returned to bomb them, despite a US missile barrage and warnings of possible
00:40further response.
00:41Eyewitnesses and their monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said
00:46on Saturday that fresh attacks on the area, now a virtual ghost town, had killed one woman
00:51and wounded several others.
00:53Teenagers in the UAE are buying pain relief spray, easily obtained from pharmacies in
00:58many emirates, for a cheap, low-cost high, federal health authorities warned on Saturday.
01:03But using the spray as a happy high carries dangerous side effects and its abuse is causing
01:09devastation to health and social life, the ministry warned.
01:12Abu Dhabi's property market is starting to see sell-offs and it's not just by the developers
01:17alone, according to the latest Abu Dhabi real estate update.
01:20Investors who bought from off-plan launches in the last two years are putting these up
01:25for sale in greater numbers, but thankfully, there aren't that many distressed sales happening.
01:30Calling all thronies, wondering what season 7 of Game of Thrones has in store for you?
01:35Well, Liam Cunningham, who plays Sir Davos Seaworth on the hit HBO show, says the answers
01:40lie in the official first trailer.
01:42In Dubai, attending the Middle East Film and Comic Con, Cunningham spoke about the upcoming
01:47season literally giving nothing away, but also enough to make the wait all the way until
01:52July 16th even more unbearable, if that was possible.
01:56And finally, the weather, today's high across the UAE will be 41 degrees Celsius dropping
02:00to 17 degrees at night.
02:02That's all for now, thanks for watching and as always you can get the latest news at gulfnews.com
