00:00Good day. Welcome to the Gulf News update for Monday, August the 4th. Here are the top

00:09stories at this hour.

00:11Airports in the UAE are adopting a wait-and-watch position on the outbreak of the Ebola virus

00:15in West African countries as no travel restrictions or screening protocols are in place so far.

00:21Concerns regarding the global spread of Ebola via air travel began when Liberian-American

00:26Patrick Sawyer died of the virus in Lagos on July 25. But the World Health Organization

00:31says the risk of a traveler contracting the virus during a visit to affected areas is

00:36extremely low.

00:37Israel said it would unilaterally hold fire in most of the Gaza Strip today to facilitate

00:42the entry of humanitarian aid. The lull will also allow Palestinians to pull dead bodies

00:47out of the rubble of bombed homes and bury their loved ones.

00:50The Israeli announcement was met with suspicion from Hamas and followed unusually strong censure

00:54from Washington at the Israeli shelling on Sunday of a UN-run shelter that killed 10

00:59people.

01:01Radical militants seized control of three towns in northern Iraq yesterday after fierce

01:05battles with Kurdish security forces, sending thousands of people fleeing to nearby mountains

01:10and threatening the country's largest dam.

01:13Here in the UAE, shares of Aldar Properties fell 3.18% to 3.65 dirhams on the Abu Dhabi

01:19Securities Exchange on Sunday following the release of the company's quarterly results.

01:24Abu Dhabi's largest real estate company reported a net profit of 506 million dirhams for the

01:29second quarter. That's up 168% from the previous year. The second quarter profits don't include

01:36the over 1 billion dirhams cash assets gained from last year's merger with Surul Real Estate.

01:42The Broadway show Beauty and the Beast will celebrate its 20th anniversary with performances

01:46in Abu Dhabi's Yas Island in October and November. The Tony award-winning show, which

01:51ran on Broadway for 13 years, is based on the Disney animated film and will stop in

01:56the UAE capital as part of an international tour. Tickets go on sale for the public from

02:01August 6.

02:02And later in the year, Abu Dhabi's Corniche will play host to BBC's Blue Planet in concert,

02:07a show that will open the three-week celebrations for the Abu Dhabi stopover of the 2014-15

02:13Volvo Ocean Race on December 12. The show features high-definition footage from the

02:18BBC series The Blue Planet, with music by a 78-piece orchestra.

02:23And finally, the weather today. Highs across the UAE will be 40 degrees Celsius, dropping

02:27to 33 tonight.

02:29That's all for now. Thanks for watching and as always you can get the latest news on gulfnews.com
