00:00Good day. Welcome to the Gulf News Update for Tuesday, March 22. Here are the top stories
00:08at this hour.
00:10Two explosions rocked the departure hall of Brussels Airport this morning, killing several
00:14people and injuring dozens, Belgian media reported. The airport was closed indefinitely
00:20and the Belgian interior minister said the terror alert level was being raised to maximum.
00:25The blast occurred four days after the arrest in Brussels of a suspected participant in
00:30November militant attacks in Paris that killed 130 people. Social media showed pictures of
00:37passengers panicking and smoke rising from the departure hall where all windows had been
00:42shattered by the blast.
00:45The US government made a dramatic about-face and announced it may not need Apple's help
00:50unblocking an iPhone belonging to an assailant in last year's San Bernardino terror attack.
00:56Justice Department officials said an outside party showed investigators a way to circumvent
01:02the iPhone security features. Apple, meanwhile, made a second attempt at the mid-tier smartphone
01:08market with its new 4-inch iPhone Special Edition. The SE has the same performance as
01:15the iPhone 6s with an A9 chip and motion co-processor and a 12-megapixel iSight camera. Prices for
01:23the iPhone Special Edition start at $399 and it will be available in the UAE by next month.
01:31Indian Wells Tournament director Raymond Moore resigned under heavy fire after he said women
01:36tennis players owe their success to men. His comments sparked a furious gender row that
01:42has divided the sport. Moore stepped down as a backlash led by Serena Williams and
01:47Martina Navratilova gathered pace, following his comments that women in tennis ride on
01:52the coattails of the men.
01:55And finally, the weather. Today's high across the UAE will be 28 degrees Celsius, dropping
01:59to 22 degrees at night. That's all for now. Thanks for watching. As always, you can get
