00:00Good day. Welcome to the Gulf News Update for Thursday, July 6. Here are the top stories
00:07at this hour.
00:08The United States cautioned it was ready to use force if need be to stop North Korea's
00:13nuclear missile program, but said it preferred global diplomatic action against Pyongyang
00:18for defying world powers by test-launching a ballistic missile that could hit Alaska.
00:23US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley told a meeting of the UN Security Council
00:29that North Korea's actions were quickly closing off the possibility of a diplomatic solution,
00:34and the United States was prepared to defend itself and its allies.
00:37Newly crowned world welterweight champion Jeff Hornbrush decided boxing legend Manny
00:42Pacquiao's call for a review of his controversial defeat and threw down the gauntlet for a rematch.
00:47Thousands joined a ticker-tape parade in Brisbane in honour of the former schoolteacher who
00:51said he doubted if Pacquiao had personally backed a call to review the outcome of last
00:55Sunday's title bout.
00:56I don't actually believe that would be Pacquiao actually even saying that, the Australian
01:00told Channel 9. Maybe it is his team around him, but Pacquiao seemed very humble in the
01:06way that he lost and thought the decision was correct.
01:09Drama seems to follow the Kardashian clan wherever they go. In the latest attempt to
01:13break the internet, albeit not intentionally, Rob Kardashian's recent online outburst became
01:18a global Twitter trend, even though the attack on his former fiancé first began on another
01:23social media platform.
01:24In a flurry of posts on his official Instagram account, Kardashian attacked Black Chyna with
01:29explicit photos and accusations of infidelity. Chyna responded on Snapchat with a claim that
01:34Kardashian had beaten her, a post had since been deleted. Instagram took action by taking
01:39Kardashian's page down, forcing him to continue his tirade on Twitter.
01:44And finally, the weather today is high across the UAE with 46 degrees Celsius dropping to
01:4829 degrees at night. That's all for now, thank you for watching. A reminder, our next bulletin
01:53will be on Sunday, but you can always get the latest news on golfnews.com.
