00:08President Donald Trump's travel ban faced its toughest test yet as a panel of appeals

00:13court judges hammered away at the administration's claim that the ban was motivated by terrorism

00:17fears.

00:18The contentious hearing before three judges on the San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit Court

00:23of Appeals focused on whether a restraining order issued by a lower court should remain

00:27in effect while a challenge to the ban proceeds.

00:30But the judges also jumped into the larger constitutional questions surrounding Trump's

00:35order.

00:36A decision by the Ninth Circuit was likely to come later this week, court spokesman David

00:40Madden said.

00:47on the palm and with a base price of 180 million dirhams.

00:57Hadi Amjad, executive chairman and CEO of Omniat Properties, which is building the project,

01:02said the penthouse can even be carved up into two or three units.

01:06Malawi's high court has granted Madonna permission to adopt twins from the southern African country.

01:11The US singer has previously adopted two children from Malawi, stirring anger among some Malawians

01:16who accused the government of allowing her to skirt laws that ban non-residents from

01:20adopting.

01:21Madonna, 58, has two other children, Lourdes and Rocco, from previous relationships.

01:26And finally, the weather today is high across the UAE, it will be 23 degrees celsius dropping
