00:00Good day. Welcome to the Gulf News Update for Monday, March 26. Here are the top stories
00:08at this hour.
00:09At least 53 people were killed by a fire in a shopping mall in the Siberian city of Kemerovo,
00:16Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry said.
00:19The fire, one of the deadliest in Russia since the breakup of the Soviet Union, swept through
00:25the upper floors of the mall where a cinema complex and children's play area were located.
00:30Russian emergency services said the fire, which started on Sunday afternoon, had now
00:35been extinguished, but that rescuers were struggling to reach the upper floors because
00:40the roof of the building had collapsed.
00:43Australian cricket is facing perhaps the toughest week in its history as a backlash grew over
00:48a ball-tampering scandal which is likely to cost Steve Smith the test captaincy.
00:54Sponsors expressed deep concern as media and fans called for widespread changes following
01:01the shock admission that Smith and senior team members plotted to cheat in South Africa.
01:07Smith, 28, was suspended as skipper for the remainder of the third test against South
01:13Africa on Sunday and was banned for one match by the ICC.
01:17It took six weeks, but Black Panther has finally been unseated as the top film at the box office.
01:25The Monster vs. Robot science fiction sequel Pacific Rim Uprising has dethroned Black Panther
01:31with an estimated $28 million in weekend ticket sales.
01:36According to studio estimates, Black Panther slid to second place with $16.7 million in
01:43its sixth week.
01:44And finally, the weather.
01:46Today's high across the UAE will be 36 degrees Celsius, dropping to 21 degrees at night.
