00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:08An alert warning of an incoming ballistic missile aimed at Hawaii was sent in error
00:13on Saturday, sowing panic and confusion across the US state.
00:17Emergency management officials eventually determined the notification was sent during

00:24The faulty message came after months of soaring tension between the US and North Korea.
00:30A penthouse on the palm that went for 102 million dirhams was the priciest deal in Dubai's
00:36property market in 2017.
00:38Two villas at Emirates Hills, meanwhile, went for 95 million and 90 million dirhams, respectively.
00:45But it was off-plan sales that led the way for prime residential properties, according
00:50to data released by Lux Habitat.
00:53Mark Wahlberg has agreed to donate the $1.5 million he earned for reshoots for all the
00:58money in the world to the Sexual Misconduct Defense Initiative, Time's Up.
01:03The decision follows an outcry over a significant disparity in pay between co-stars.
01:09Wahlberg said he'll donate the money in the name of his co-star Michelle Williams, who
01:13reportedly made less than $1,000 on the reshoots.
01:17And finally, the weather.
