00:00Good day. Welcome to the Gulf News Update for Wednesday, May the 10th. Here are the
00:06top stories at this hour.
00:08Cholera, a waterborne disease that can quickly explode into a public health disaster, has
00:13begun to spread in Yemen. The World Health Organization and Doctors Without Borders have
00:18warned of alarming increases in the number of cholera cases in Yemen in the past few
00:22weeks.
00:24The charity's teams have treated nearly 800 patients in five provinces since March 30th,
00:29and are calling for an urgent increase in assistance to limit the outbreak.
00:33U.S. President Donald Trump has fired FBI Director James Comey. In a shock move that
00:39drew comparisons to the Watergate scandal, Trump told Comey the FBI needed new leadership
00:45and he was being terminated with immediate effect.
00:48Under Comey's leadership, the FBI concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin approved
00:53a multifaceted campaign to tilt the vote in Trump's favor.
00:57His snap dismissal, ostensibly for mishandling a probe into Hillary Clinton's emails, sparked
01:03rare criticism from Republicans.
01:06The White House said that the search for a new FBI director was to begin right away.
01:11A stunning Danny Alvis volley helped Juventus stroll into their second Champions League
01:16final in three years last night.
01:19A 2-1 win on the night completed a 4-1 aggregate victory over outclassed Monaco.
01:26Brazilian wingback Alvis' 25-yard strike followed Mario Mandzukic's opener for the
01:32Italian champions, as any semblance of a contest was snuffed out by halftime.
01:37Academy Award winner Steve McQueen is set to direct a documentary about Tupac Shakur.
01:43A Shakur estate trustee said that the film is fully sanctioned by the late hip-hop artist's
01:48estate. McQueen said he looks forward to working with Shakur's family to bring his unvarnished
01:53story to life.
01:54And finally, weather. Today's high across the UAE will be 38 degrees Celsius, dropping
01:59to 27 degrees at night.
