00:00Good day. Welcome to Gulf News Update for Thursday, September the 10th. Here are the
00:09top stories at this hour.
00:11Warplanes from a Saudi-led military alliance bombed targets throughout Yemen's capital
00:15Sana'a in what witnesses described as the fiercest series of attacks on the city in
00:19over five months of war. The raids hit houses of political leaders in the Iran-allied Al-Khouti
00:25movement and military bases. Tens of thousands of people were ordered to flee homes across
00:29Japan as heavy rain pounded the country, sending radiation-tainted waters into the ocean from
00:35the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant. Waste-high floods in some areas left rescuers scrambling
00:40to plug people to safety as a wide area was deluged in the wake of Typhoon Itaew.
00:46Apple unveiled a new TV set top box that responds to voice commands and fresh iPhones that sense
00:52the pressure of a finger tap. The new 6S and 6S Plus versions of the iPhone are the
00:57same size as the previous versions but come with a better camera, faster chips, new colours
01:02and the force-sensitive 3D touch. The iPad Pro has a 12.9-inch display, making its shortest
01:08edge the length of its earlier iPad Air 2's height.
01:12Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka will meet in an all-Swiss semi-final at the US Open
01:17after impressive wins over Richard Gaskett and Kevin Anderson last night. Top seed Noah
01:22Djokovic will face holder Marine Cilic in the other semi.
01:26Stephen Colbert crushed it with his viewership as the new host of The Late Show. Premiering
01:31on Tuesday, Colbert averaged 6.6 million viewers as CBC's successor to David Letterman, doubling
01:37The Late Show audience a year ago, the News & Ratings Company reported. With guests Jeb
01:42Bush and George Clooney, The Late Show clobbered the usual winner, NBC's Tonight Show Starring
01:47Jimmy Fallon, which drew slightly less than 3 million viewers, as well as ABC's Jimmy
01:52Kimmel Live, seen by 1.75 million.
01:56And finally, the weather. Today's high across the UAE will be 40 degrees Celsius, dropping
02:01to 30 degrees at night. That's all for now. Thanks for watching. A reminder that our next
