00:00Good day and welcome to the Gulf News Update for Sunday, May the 14th.

00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.

00:09North Korea fired a ballistic missile today in defiance of calls to rein in its weapons

00:14program.

00:15The test comes days after a new leader in its old rival South Korea came to power pledging

00:20to engage it in dialogue.

00:21The US Pacific Command said it was assessing the type of missile, but it was not consistent

00:27with an intercontinental ballistic missile.

00:30The Syrian army and its allies are on the verge of completely seizing the rebel-held

00:34district of Kabul on the edge of Damascus.

00:37The move follows more than two months of aerial strikes and artillery shelling, rebels and

00:42state media said today.

00:43But rebels said they still held a small pocket within the neighborhood that lies in the northeastern

00:49edge of the capital.

00:51Emmanuel Macron will be sworn in as the youngest ever president of France today.

00:55He inherits a country where economic malaise and security concerns drove extremist parties

01:01to their highest ever scores in this year's election.

01:05Two-time champions Mumbai Indians held their nerves to beat Kolkata Knight Riders by nine

01:10runs and topped the Indian Premier League table on Saturday.

01:14Mumbai will play the second-place side at Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday for a berth in

01:19the final.

01:20Earlier, Sunrisers Hyderabad cemented their place in the playoffs after they beat Gujarat

01:25Lions by eight wickets in Kanpur.

01:28Portugal's Salvador Sobral won the Eurovision Song Contest with a romantic ballad that challenged

01:34the event's decades-long reputation for cheesy, glittery excess.

01:39Sobral sang his Amar Pelos Dois, Love for Both, in a high, clear tenor accompanied by

01:45quiet strings and a piano.

01:47The 25 other competitors mainly performed on a wide stage backed by flashing lights,

01:53bursts of flames and other special effects.

01:57And finally, the weather.

01:58Today's high across the UAE will be 38 degrees Celsius, dropping to 29 degrees at night.

02:03That's all for now.
