00:00Good day and welcome to the Gulf News Update for Sunday, July the 9th.
00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:08World leaders struck a compromise to move forward collectively on climate change without
00:13the United States, declaring the Paris Accord irreversible while acknowledging President
00:18Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the agreement.
00:22In a final communique at the conclusion of the Group of 20 summit meeting in Hamburg,
00:27the nations took note of Trump's decision to abandon the pact and immediately cease
00:33efforts to enact former President Barack Obama's pledge of curbing greenhouse gas emissions
00:3926-28% below 2005 levels by 2025.
00:46Hundreds of hooded anti-capitalist militants scuffled with German police on the fringes
00:52of a largely peaceful march on Saturday against a G20 summit of global leaders in Hamburg
00:58after two days of violent clashes which marred the meeting.
01:02In the late evening after leaders had left Hamburg, police turned on water cannons to
01:06disperse remaining protesters, many drunk, who started throwing bottles and other objects.
01:13Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic marched into the last 16 of Wimbledon while women's topseed
01:19Angelique Kerber scraped through.
01:22Seven-time champion Federer made it into the fourth round for the 15th time with a win
01:27over Germany's Misha Zverev.
01:29Djokovic fended off being a breakdown in the first set and taken to a tiebreak in the third
01:36before beating Ernest Goulbis.
01:38Dr. Spencer Johnson, whose book Who Moved My Cheese sold 25 million copies and became
01:45a business and self-help phenomenon, has died.
01:48Johnson's executive assistant Nancy Casey said he died of complications from pancreatic
01:53cancer in the San Diego-area city of Encinitas.
01:58Who Moved My Cheese was a slim 94-page fable on the need to embrace change that was derived
02:04from a story Johnson had told at parties and used in speeches.
02:09And finally, the weather, today's high across the UAE will be 47 degrees Celsius, dropping
