00:00Good day, welcome to the Gulf News Update for Monday, September the 19th.
00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:08A bomb that injured 29 people in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan and another that
00:12failed to detonate were filled with shrapnel, U.S. officials have said.
00:17Both bombs appeared designed to create maximum chaos and fatalities.
00:21Late Sunday night, investigators stopped a car on the Belt Parkway in New York and took
00:25five people to an FBI office in Manhattan for questioning in the bombing investigation.
00:31Syria's ceasefire appeared to be on the brink of collapse today after a U.S.-led coalition
00:35strike killed dozens of regime soldiers and Aleppo city was hit by its first air raids
00:41in nearly a week.
00:42The barrage of strikes on rebel-held districts of Aleppo could be the most serious threat
00:47to the ceasefire so far.
00:48A halt to fighting around Aleppo and the delivery of desperately needed humanitarian aid were
00:54key components of the fragile deal that took effect last Monday.
00:58Hotels within theme parks could be the next big attraction for travelers in the Middle
01:02East looking for new experiences.
01:04Industry experts at the hotel show in Dubai said travelers in the region could be spending
01:09more nights at theme parks as more of them open and the concept remains new.
01:14Game of Thrones conquered the Emmy Kingdom last night, honored as top drama for the second
01:18consecutive year.
01:20It also became the most honored primetime TV series ever on a night of surprises and
01:24sharp political jabs.
01:26Vape repeated as best comedy series and its star Julia Louis-Dreyfus won a record-breaking
01:31sixth Emmy as best comedy actress.
01:34But the top drama acting trophies were far from predictable.
01:38Rami Malek of Mr. Robot and Tatiana Maslany of Orphan Black were the winners, both overcoming
01:44heavyweight competition.
01:46And finally, weather.
01:47Today's high across the UAE will be 39 degrees Celsius, dropping to 29 degrees at night.
01:53That's all for now.
