00:00Good day, welcome to the Gulf News Update for Monday February 8th. Here are the top
00:08stories at this hour. A Pakistani-American who helped plan a 2008 attack on India's financial
00:14hub told a court in India that he travelled to India seven times to scout potential targets
00:19for a Pakistan-based group. David Coleman Headley gave the court details of his role
00:23in planning the attack, in which more than 160 people were killed. Ojwal Nikam, the public
00:28prosecutor who questioned Headley during the testimony, said Headley told the court
00:32that Lashkar-e-Taiba had made two attempts to launch attacks in India but did not succeed.
00:37The third attempt resulted in the November 2008 attack, Headley told the court. Rescuers
00:42pulled two survivors from the rubble of a Taiwan apartment block on Monday, more than
00:4648 hours after it was toppled by an earthquake, but the mayor of the southern city of Tannin
00:50warned the death toll was likely to exceed 100. The official death toll from the quake
00:54rose to 38, with more than 100 people missing. If this was the final game of his magnificent
01:00career, what a super way to go for Peyton Manning. He can thank Von Miller and the Denver
01:04Broncos' swarming big play defense for his second NFL championship. Adding that ring
01:08to his five MVP awards, Manning certainly can be satisfied and comfortable in retirement
01:13should Sunday's 24-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers be his finale. Coldplay and Beyonce
01:19both went retro and inspirational as they put on a colourful Super Bowl halftime show
01:23full of flowers and happy children. While Coldplay was normally the headline at the
01:27American Football Championship game, it was Beyonce who made news. Moments after the show
01:30finished, a brief television advertisement announced that she will head on a world tour.
01:34The 40-day tour of stadiums across North America and Europe will open on April 27 in Miami
01:39and close July 31 in Brussels. And finally, the weather today's high across the UAE will
01:44be 27 degrees Celsius, dropping to 15 degrees at night. That's all for now, thank you for
01:48watching. As always, you can get the latest news on livenews.com
