00:00Good day, welcome to the Gulf News update for Thursday, October the 13th.
00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:09Several women levied allegations of sexual assault against Donald Trump in a series of
00:14interviews adding to the already damaging revelations about the Republican presidential
00:19nominee's aggressive sexual comments about women.
00:23Trump's campaign dismissed the allegations as having no merit or veracity.
00:27It attacked one of the media outlets that published the women's accounts as acting on
00:31a vendetta.
00:32In a letter from his attorneys, Trump demanded the New York Times retract what it called
00:37a libelous article and apologize.
00:40A U.S. warship stationed off the coast of Yemen fired cruise missiles at radar installations
00:46that the Pentagon said had been used by Yemeni rebels to target another U.S. warship in two
00:52missile attacks in the past four days.
00:55The strikes against Al-Houthi rebels marked the first time the United States had become
01:00involved militarily in the civil war between Iran-backed Al-Houthis and the internationally
01:05recognized Yemeni government backed by a Saudi-led Arab coalition.
01:11A film production company was fined Dirham 7.19 million over an accident on the set of
01:18Star Wars The Force Awakens that broke the leg of star Harrison Ford.
01:23The actor was struck by a hydraulic door at Pinewood Studios near London in June 2014.
01:30Production on the film was suspended for two weeks after the accident.
01:33Prosecutors said Ford, who was 71 at the time, could have been killed by the door, which
01:38struck him with a force comparable to the weight of a small car.
01:43Roberto Cavalli's new owners are cutting 200 jobs, closing stores and replacing the fashion
01:49house's creative director in a reorganization aimed at making a profit by 2018.
01:55Chief executive Gian Giacomo Ferraris said the reorganization is necessary given the
02:01fashion industry is one where only iconic brands with a coherent business model and
02:07an efficient organization can survive.
02:10And finally, the weather.
02:11Today's high across the UAE will be 35 degrees Celsius, dropping to 25 degrees at night.
02:17That's all for now.
