00:00Good day, welcome to the Gulf News Update for Tuesday, July the 3rd.
00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:10Rescuers braced for a long and difficult evacuation of 13 Thai footballers found alive in a cave
00:16nine days after they went missing.
00:19The 12 young boys and their football coach were discovered raked thin and hungry on a
00:24mound of mud surrounded by water late Monday.
00:28But the focus quickly shifted to the tricky task of how to evacuate them safely from the
00:34still-flooded caverns.
00:36Food and medicine was shuttled to the football team members through muddy waters today as
00:41rescuers prepared for a prolonged extraction operation.
00:46The Thai military said it was providing months' worth of food and diving lessons to the boys
00:51to help them out of the waterlogged Tam Luang network.
00:57Belgium threw caution to the winds to reach the World Cup quarter-finals when substitute
01:02Nasser Chadli scored in the dying seconds as they beat a spirited Japan 3-2 on Monday.
01:09The victory sets up a mouth-watering clash between Belgium and five-time champions Brazil.
01:15In the early game on Monday, Brazil scored an emphatic 2-0 win over Mexico with goals
01:21from Neymar and Firmino.
01:24Harvey Weinstein is facing new criminal charges.
01:28An indictment against the disgraced producer accuses him of sexually assaulting a woman
01:34and committing a pattern of sex crimes, charges that could carry a life sentence.
01:39The new indictment by a grand jury in New York comes on top of a previous indictment
01:44that accused Weinstein of raping a different woman in 2013.
01:50And finally, the weather.
01:51Today's high across the UAE will be 39 degrees Celsius, dropping to 28 degrees at night.
