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

00:09Donald Trump unveiled the winners of his much-touted fake news awards on Wednesday.

00:14The US President tweeted his top ten list, which includes his regular targets CNN, the

00:19New York Times and the Washington Post.

00:22The awards were linked to a list published on the Republican Party's website that crashed

00:26minutes after his big reveal.

00:29The Indian government's move to change the colour of the passport for citizens based

00:33on their socio-economic background has kicked up a controversy in the UAE.

00:38Like critics in India and elsewhere, Indian expats in the UAE have opposed the plan to

00:42change the colour from blue to orange for people with Immigration Clearance Required

00:46status.

00:47The ECR status is issued for applicants who have not passed grade 10 and are not paying

00:53income tax.

01:19Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo has just struck a deal to appear in two more seasons

01:24at the popular show that will earn her $20 million per year.

01:27The deal also makes her the highest-paid actress in a television drama.

01:31The 48-year-old actress will also get a signing bonus and a percentage of the show's profits.

01:37And finally, the weather today is high across the UAE.

01:39It will be 23 degrees Celsius, dropping to 13 degrees at night.

01:43That's all for now.
