00:00Good day and welcome to the Gulf News Update for Monday, January the 16th.
00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:08US President-elect Donald Trump has described NATO as obsolete and suggested a deal with
00:14Russia that would reduce nuclear arsenals and ease sanctions on Moscow.
00:19In an interview published on Sunday, Trump also hailed Britain's exit from the EU and
00:24backed a speedy trade deal with the UK.
00:27Condemned as catastrophic, Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to open Germany's doors
00:33to a flood of refugees.
00:35Eight men own the same wealth as half the world's population, a level of inequality
00:40which threatens to pull our societies apart, Oxfam said on Monday ahead of the World Economic
00:46Forum opening in Davos.
00:49The wealth of the world's poorest 3.6 billion people is the equivalent to the combined net
00:55worth of six American businessmen, one from Spain and another from Mexico.
01:00Picked from Forbes' billionaires list, they include Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Facebook
01:06co-founder Mark Zuckerberg and founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos.
01:11Andy Murray dug himself out of a number of holes before defeating Ilya Marchenko to reach
01:17the second round of the Australian Open on Monday.
01:20Top seed Murray conceded a 5-2 lead in a first set and was down 4-2 after being broken
01:26early in the second at Rod Laver Arena.
01:29But the Scot rallied, yelling his way through the flat patches before finding his range
01:34in the third set as the shadows crept across the centre court.
01:38Pep Guardiola says his first season in English football will not end with Manchester City
01:43winning the Premier League title following a shambolic 4-0 defeat at Everton.
01:49City were beaten for the fourth time in their last eight league games as Guardiola suffered
01:54the largest league defeat of his glittering managerial career.
01:58And with his side 10 points behind leaders Chelsea following Sunday's setback, Guardiola
02:03conceded the title is already beyond City.
02:07As beauties from around the world arrive in the Philippines, the country's hope of winning
02:11back-to-back Miss Universe titles rests on the shoulders of a 26-year-old model-turned
02:17beauty queen.
02:18Maria Mika Maxine Medina will try to win the ultimate title as she carries the weight of
02:24expectations of the host nation.
02:26If successful, the Philippines will retain the crown after Pia Alonzo Wutzbach became
02:32the country's third title holder in 2015 after Gloria Maria Dias in 1969 and Maria
02:39Margarita Moran in 1973.
02:42Finally, the weather.
