00:00Good day and welcome to the Gulf News Update for Monday, February the 5th.
00:05Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:07North Korea's ceremonial leader will make an unprecedented visit to South Korea this
00:12week, officials said, as hopes grow for high-level inter-Korean talks during the Winter Olympics
00:18that begin in four days.
00:20North Korea's official KCNA news agency confirmed that Kim Jong-nam, president of the Presidium
00:26of the Supreme People's Assembly, would attend the Olympics' opening ceremony on Friday in
00:31South Korea's alpine resort town of Pyeongchang.
00:36Seoul's Unification Ministry said Kim would lead a 22-strong delegation that was expected
00:42to arrive in South Korea on Friday for a three-day trip.
00:45Five civilians were treated for suffocation on Sunday after Syrian regime airstrikes on
00:50the northwestern town of Sarajevo, a monitor said.
00:54The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported a foul smell after regime
01:00helicopters struck several areas of the town in Idlib province, causing five civilians
01:06to suffer from suffocation.
01:08The UAE's capital markets regulator said it does not recognise, regulate or supervise
01:14any initial coin offerings, adding that any such investments won't be afforded legal or
01:20regulatory protection.
01:22Many start-ups have resorted to raising money through ICOs, which are mostly unregulated.
01:28This makes it easier for these newly formed companies to bypass the rigorous and regulated
01:34capital-raising process required by venture capitalists or banks, a process most traditional
01:40companies undergo in order to raise money either through an initial public offering
01:45or through private equity.
01:47After months of speculation that she was pregnant with her first child, Kylie Jenner has announced
01:53the birth of a baby girl.
01:54In an Instagram post on Sunday, Jenner says the baby was born on Thursday.
02:00It's the first child for the 20-year-old reality TV star and 25-year-old rapper Travis Scott.
02:06And finally, the weather.
02:07Today's high across the UAE will be 23 degrees Celsius, dropping to 13 degrees at night.
02:13That's all for now.
