00:09Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:13Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed into law sweeping economic sanctions against

00:19The move came as relations between the two countries plummeted after Turkey shot down
00:24a Russian warplane over the Syrian border last week.
00:28He said it shot down the Russian Su-24 bomber, part of a deployment of Russian air power
00:35striking targets in Syria because the plane briefly crossed into Turkish airspace, a charge
00:41strongly denied by Russia.
00:44More than 200 residents of Dubai's Al Shamsi building, which was gutted by a massive fire
00:50last week, have been resettled by the combined assistance of the building's owner, a volunteer
00:56organization, and the Philippines Consulate General in Dubai.
00:59The fire ravaged at least half of the 48 apartments in the three blocks of the building, located
01:05on Salah Al-Din Street in Deira, leaving around 400 residents homeless.
01:11Tens of thousands of people marched across Australia today on the third day of worldwide

02:11In football, Jamie Vardy wrote a new chapter in his rise from the wilderness of non-league
