00:00Good day and welcome to the Gulf News Update for Tuesday, October the 6th. Here are the
00:10top stories at this hour. Yemen's Prime Minister escaped unharmed today
00:15after a rocket attack killed and wounded an unknown number of people at a hotel in Aden,
00:21a minister said. Khaled Baha is in good health and was not
00:25harmed, said Naif al-Bakri, the Minister of Youth and Sports.
00:29A security source and witnesses said the building had been hit by two rockets.
00:34Dr Anwar Gargash, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, said preliminary information
00:40on the attack was reassuring. A simple childish spat over a puppy led an
00:4611-year-old boy to shoot and kill his 8-year-old neighbour in the US state of Tennessee, the
00:51girl's mother said. Latasha Dyer said her daughter was playing
00:55outside when the boy asked to see her puppy. Little Makayla said no, and shortly after
01:02was shot in the chest. Emirates' $20 million ad with Hollywood
01:07sweetheart Jennifer Aniston is out, and while it's a fun and glossy showcase for the airline's
01:13in-flight service, it's also a not-so-subtle dig at US Airlines.
01:18The commercial was directed by Oscar nominee Brian Buckley, known for his Super Bowl ads.
01:25In sport, India's cricket great Sunil Gavaskar has led the calls for Cuttack to be banned
01:30as a cricket venue after crowd trouble twice brought a halt to play in a 2020 international
01:37against South Africa last night. Angry Indian fans hurled water bottles onto
01:42the field of play at the Barabati Stadium after the hosts were bowled out for 92, their
01:48second-lowest total in T20 matches. The Proteus sauntered to a six-wicket victory
01:55but not before match referee Chris Broad had ordered organisers to provide additional
02:00security forces in the packed stands of the 45,000-capacity venue.
02:06And finally, the weather. Today's high across the UAE will be 37 degrees Celsius, dropping
