00:00Good day and welcome to the Gulf News update for Monday, January the 9th.
00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:09The cost of medical fitness has gone up at the Karama Express Medical Fitness Centre
00:13by 100 dirhams, Gulf News has learnt.

00:21at the centre from January the 1st.
00:23There is no increase of charges at other DHA health facilities.
00:28The UN chief has expressed concern to the Security Council that Iran may have violated
00:33an arms embargo by supplying weapons and missiles to the Hezbollah.
00:37The second biannual report, due to be discussed on January 18th, also cites an accusation
00:43by France that an arms shipment seized in the Indian Ocean last March was from Iran
00:49and likely bound for Somalia or Yemen.
00:52Australia's health minister stepped down temporarily today to allow auditors to scour
00:57her expense accounts.
00:59Susan Lay's decision came after she bought an investment apartment while on a work trip,
01:04an embarrassing start to the year for embattled Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
01:09An estimated 14,600 homes were handed over in Dubai all through last year, a tally much
01:15higher than the sub-10,000 units delivered in 2014 and 2015.
01:21The 2016 tally is the second highest after 2012's handovers, according to the latest
01:27UAE real estate update issued by the global consultancy JLL.
01:32Barcelona striker Luis Suarez insists the Catalans are obliged to chase down Real Madrid
01:38at the top of La Liga.

01:45Villarreal on Sunday.
01:47Even a fabulous last-minute Lionel Messi free kick couldn't prevent Barca falling five points
01:53behind Madrid, who also have a game in hand.
01:57La La Land steamrolled, Moonlight swooped in at the last minute and Meryl Streep offered

02:08pivoted between heartfelt moments of protest and a desire to sing and dance.
02:13Damien Chazelle's bright-hued Los Angeles musical La La Land dominated the ceremony
02:18with a record seven awards, including Best Motion Picture.
02:22But Barry Jenkins' tender coming-of-age drama Moonlight took the night's final award, Best
02:28Movie Drama.
