00:00Good day, welcome to the Gulf News Update for Wednesday, October the 11th.
00:07Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:11The Spanish government is to hold an urgent meeting to discuss its next steps to halt
00:16the northeastern region of Catalonia from proceeding with the Declaration of Independence.
00:22Today's meeting is taking place after Catalan regional president, Carls Budemor, said the
00:27previous day that he would proceed with the cessation, but was suspending it for a few
00:32weeks to facilitate negotiations.
00:36Spain responded by saying the declaration was inadmissible, adding that it was based
00:41on an invalid independence referendum.
00:45Motorists who ignore the stop sign of school buses will be caught with a new Batradar.
00:50The Batradar is the latest innovation by Dubai police and will be fixed on the stop sign
00:56on school buses to crack down on motorists who ignore the signal when the bus drivers
01:01pick up and drop students.
01:04Lionel Messi fired Argentina into the World Cup with a brilliant hat trick as South American
01:09champions Chile suffered a shock elimination.
01:13Messi single-handedly resurrected Argentina's hopes in a 3-1 win over Ecuador that drew
01:19a line under a chaotic campaign that had left the two-time champions in danger of failing
01:25to qualify.
01:27Georgina Chapman has taken what some believed was her only brand-saving leap.
01:32She told People she was leaving the film mogul Harvey Weinstein she married in 2007.
01:38Chapman and her partner, Karen Craig, are behind Mochessa, the dramatic luxury fashion
01:44brand that has dressed some of the biggest stars for the red carpet.
01:49And finally, the weather.
01:50Today's high across the UAE will be 37 degrees Celsius, dropping to 27 degrees at night.
