00:00Good day, welcome to the Gulf News update for Tuesday, March 14.
00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:09British Prime Minister Theresa May will make a major statement to Parliament today, just
00:15hours after MPs enabled her to start the withdrawal from the European Union.
00:20British lawmakers last night finally granted May the right to trigger Article 50 of the
00:25EU's Lisbon Treaty, which would start the two-year divorce process with the bloc.
00:31The bill still requires the formality of royal assent from Queen Elizabeth II to become law,
00:36which would come as early as today, allowing May to begin Brexit any time after.
00:43N'Golo Kanté sent Chelsea into an FA Cup semi-final meeting with Tottenham by ending
00:49Manchester United's title defence last night.
00:52They sealed a 1-0 victory after the holders Ander Herrera was dismissed on a ferry night
00:58at Stamford Bridge.
01:01Herrera was booked twice for fouling Chelsea winger Eden Hazard, leaving United a man down
01:07while already trying to cope without top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
01:12Walt Disney has shelved the release of its new movie Beauty and the Beast in Malaysia,
01:18even though film censors said today it had been approved with a minor cut.
01:22The country's two main cinema chains said the movie, due to begin screening Thursday,
01:27has been postponed indefinitely.
01:30No reason was given.
01:31Russia last week approved the movie but banned children under 16 from watching it.
01:38And finally, the weather.
01:39Today's high across the UAE will be 32 degrees Celsius, dropping to 22 degrees at night.
01:45That's all for now.
01:46Thanks for watching.
