00:00Good day. Welcome to the Gulf News Update for Monday, September the 3rd. Here are the
00:07top stories at this hour. An Indian expatriate who works for Gulf News has become the new
00:13multi-millionaire of big-ticket raffles after winning 12 million dirhams. This is the third
00:19biggest jackpot of the big-ticket raffle in Abu Dhabi. The winning ticket number of George
00:25Matthew who lives in Ajman is 175342. The dream 12 million raffle draw series 195 was announced
00:34this morning at the Abu Dhabi International Airport's Arrivals Hall. A huge fire ripped
00:40through Brazil's 200-year-old National Museum in Rio de Janeiro, lighting up the night sky
00:47with towering flames as firefighters raced to save historical relics. The museum, which houses
00:53artifacts from Egypt, Greco-Roman art and first fossils found in Brazil, was closed to the public
01:00at the time of the fire, which broke out at 7.30 pm. There were no reports of injuries,
01:06the museum said, and it wasn't immediately clear how the fire began. President Michel Temer called
01:13it a sad day for all Brazilians. Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli said being competitive was
01:20not enough after 60-run defeat by England in the fourth test at Southampton. The loss condemned
01:27Kohli's side to yet another away series defeat. Sunday's result achieved with more than a day
01:33to spare left England an unassailable 3-1 up ahead of the fifth and final test starting on Friday.
01:42We know that we have played good cricket, but we cannot say again and again to ourselves that
01:47we have competed, Kohli said. In New York, six-time champion Serena Williams used a blazing start and
01:54battling finish to reach the US Open quarterfinals on Sunday. She won a 6-0, 4-6, 6-3 victory over
02:03Kaya Kanepi. Singer Lana Del Rey has cancelled her planned performance at an Israeli music festival
02:10after pressure from Palestinian boycott activists. In a Twitter message, Del Rey says she is delaying
02:16until a time when I can schedule visits for both my Israeli and Palestinian fans.
02:23Del Rey was to headline the inaugural Meet Your Festival in the Israeli regime next week.
02:29And finally, the weather. Today's high across the UAE will be 43 degrees Celsius,
