00:00Good day, welcome to the Gulf News Update for Sunday, July 13.
00:07Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:09Foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt hold talks
00:14today to discuss the crisis with Qatar, with little sign the eight-week standoff is nearing
00:19its end.
00:20The meeting in Manama, Bahrain's capital, is part of the coalition's efforts to coordinate
00:25its response to Qatar's support for terrorism, according to Bahrain's foreign ministry.
00:31On Sunday, the Saudi-led bloc will study imposing more sanctions, including measures that would
00:36gradually harm the Qatari economy, according to Al-Hayat newspaper.
00:41Wary Republicans in Washington may be ready to move on from health care, but conservatives
00:47across the United States are warning the GOP-led Congress not to abandon its pledge to repeal
00:52the Obama-era health law or risk a political nightmare in next year's elections.
00:58The Senate's failure this past week to pass repeal legislation has outraged the Republican
01:03base and triggered a new wave of fear.
01:06The stunning collapse has exposed a party so paralyzed by ideological division that
01:11it could not deliver on its top campaign pledge.
01:14George Clooney says he will take legal action against a French magazine that published the
01:18first photos of his newborn twins.
01:21The Ocean's Eleven actor said photographers from Voicy magazine scaled our fence, climbed
01:26our tree, and illegally took pictures of our infants inside our home.
01:30Clooney said in a statement that the photographers and the magazine will be prosecuted to the
01:35full extent of the law.
01:37The safety of our children demands it.
01:40Clooney and his humanitarian lawyer wife, Amal, announced the arrival of the twins,
01:45a boy and a girl, called Alexander and Ella, in June, but have given no details, photos
01:50or interviews about them.
01:53And finally, the weather.
01:54Today's high across the UAE will be 46 degrees Celsius, dropping to 32 degrees at night.
