00:00Good day. Welcome to the Gulf News update for Tuesday, April 18. Here are the top stories
00:07at this hour.
00:09The manhunt has widened for a US murder suspect who police said posted a video of himself
00:15on Facebook shooting an elderly man in Cleveland. Authorities have appealed to the public for
00:20help in the case after urging the killer to turn himself in. Police said they have received
00:26dozens and dozens of tips for possible sightings of the suspect, Steve Stephens, who remained
00:31at large.
00:32Far-right leader Marine Le Pen sought to mobilise her supporters six days ahead of France's
00:38most unpredictable presidential election in decades by pledging to suspend all immigration
00:44and shield voters from savage globalisation.
00:47Opinion polls have for months shown Le Pen and centrist Emmanuel Macron qualifying on
00:53Sunday for the May 7 run-off. But the gap with Conservative François Fillon and far-leftist
00:59Jean-Luc Mélenchon has been tightening.
01:02Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Doha are the fastest-growing markets in the region this year, according
01:07to a report released by UAE-based investment advisory firm Al Masa Capital. Backed by selective
01:14government spending, the real estate markets in Abu Dhabi and Dubai are expected to see
01:19some key projects being announced. Quite a few among these will be launched at Cityscape
01:24Abu Dhabi, which starts today at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre and continues until
01:29April 20.
01:31Chelsea captain John Terry will end his 22-year association with the London club at the end
01:37of the season, but the veteran defender wants to keep on playing.
01:41The club and I have always had a fantastic relationship, which will continue beyond my
01:45playing days," Terry said on Monday.
01:49And finally, the weather. Today's high across the UAE will be 36 degrees Celsius, dropping
01:54to 26 degrees at night.
