a long range ballistic missile over riyadh fied from yemen by the rebels many on a hometowns that. it's not the first time who the rebels have fired long range missiles across the border at saudi arabia but this missile appears to have travelled the furthest hundreds of kilometers deep into saudi heartland and only taken down close to king khalid international airport on the outskirts of the capital riyadh. the official saudi news agency is p.a. said saudi forces fired a surface to air patriot missile to intercept it witnesses reported hearing a loud explosion and seeing fragments falling near the airport the rebels moved quickly to say they were behind the missile attack telling al-jazeera they had launched a burka and two h. missile a scud type missile with a range of more than eight hundred kilometers knocked out of the year it was a man we choose the time and place after collecting information about

a target and it was khaled international airport east of riyadh targeted by a long range volcano ballistic missile this is in response to the continued aggression committing daily massacres against the yemeni people. the conflict in yemen pits the rebels from the north backed by iran and troops loyal to former president ali abdullah saleh against yemeni government forces back in two thousand and fourteen the who sees and their allies took control of the yemeni capital sana'a. but the conflict widened early the following year when a saudi led coalition of arab countries step done with airstrikes to back up humans government in two and a half years the saudi coalition has launched thousands of a strikes the same a strikes that have been repeatedly criticized by the united nations for disregarding the number of civilians killed and return who sees and their allies have fired dozens of missiles into saudi territory last week who's the spokesman told

everything you do is being analyzed it's being weighed and it's measured to support those insurgencies are. to do things in secret that are of lawful or politically embarrassing all of the colleagues that i knew chose to retire from the n.s.a. leaker could not stand by and see all the work that they had done being used for mass surveillance digital dissidents at this time on al-jazeera. and again you're watching i'll just remind of our top stories saudi arabia says it's shot down a long range ballistic missile fired from yemen over the capital riyadh the rebels

in yemen say they launched the weapon the traveled five hundred kilometers over the border. has also been a major shake up of saudi arabia's cabinet national guard minister prince method in our allies among those five he was the last senior roiling government not closely connected with king sound man or his son and heir to the throne mohammed and seven . u.s. president donald trump is meeting with japan's prime minister shinzo abyei kickstarting his asia trip trouble also visit south korea china vietnam in the philippines trying to build support for his stuff tough stance on north korea or staying in japan korean schools there are facing hostility as north korea continues its missile tests and threats to destroy the country if there's a nuclear war. for us. there are sixty korean schools in japan attended by thousands of students seventeen year old huang song we is one of them each time

there are headlines about north korea's latest missile test the school receives anonymous bomb threats huang says there is confusion about news coming from and about pyongyang. that there are i get mixed feelings honestly speaking i cannot deny all the news reports we see on t.v. because we don't get to hear from the north koreans directly the north's leader kim jong un has threatened to sink japan and the united states the korean community in japan has been divided sister korean war but the only direct funding and curriculum guidance for its schools comes from pyongyang a residents' association which acts in place of a north korean embassy in japan says it's received more than four hundred million dollars since one thousand nine hundred fifty seven and the schools are great four . hundred after world war two simply speaking who offered the first helping hands to us it wasn't the japanese government. anti korean rhetoric and protests are not new to japan community leaders say the japanese public's reaction to pyongyang's

nuclear tests are similar to the backlash that followed the abduction of dozens of japanese citizens by north korean agents in the late one nine hundred seventy s. and early one nine hundred eighty s. . people started thinking north korea is some outrageous country a country like. the sentiment that you can attack anything linked to north korea has prevailed in japan got away. for korean parents in japan who want their children to learn the korean language history and culture pro pyongyang schools are the only option regardless of their own political beliefs about the north korean regime one thing going on i know because they are not japanese i want them to go to korean school not japanese school and learn the language and the ethnic spirit those are the most important things. although some teachers express solidarity with the north most parents believe koreans are one ethnic people for them there is no north or south pole church yon al-jazeera or thousands of people have rallied

across the united states against president donald trump and his policies while his first year in power has been marked by polarized demonstrations some groups are trying to bridge the divide as john hendren reports now from virginia. politics in the us has devolved into verbal warfare fought out between the white house and capitol hill reckless outrageous and undignified behavior has become excused and countenanced as telling it like it is and when such behavior emanates from the top of our government it is something else it is dangerous to a democracy in social media assailing corker on twitter calling him incompetent and little on television than in feels like it's another day another scalp and on the streets were empty fascist rally years marched in twenty american cities as a reaction to that a group called better angels is meeting in living rooms in churches across the u.s.

to in their words save our democracy i was nodding my hand when they were saying you know what concerns them about their party especially and i said ok that's actually making me feel a little bit better because i don't want to be living in a world where you're still attached to a party that god is of what side you're on that you can't be critical to what's wrong with your part of the group began in the political battleground state of ohio after the divisive two thousand and sixteen election by the end of this year they will have held forty meetings of republicans and democrats red and blue around the us what these people are trying to do here by volunteering their saturday in the basement of a suburban virginia church is each to listen to the other side's point of view and eventually elevate the level of political conversation here and across the nation. the group gathers partisans of both sides and asks them to listen to one another to find areas of common ground and to act on them i think what we're doing can

ultimately change the direction of the country and i think actually. it really does need to if we're going to survive as a healthy democracy in ohio they have begun working together reds and blues together on the issue of paper and to leave getting the legislate. take action on an issue that's widely supported by both liberals and conservatives. is this group wraps up members around to expand the movement in their own neighborhoods d.c. young professional life things i. just wanted to know what. your movement changes minds at meetings like this injury but it's going to a long way to go to change the toxic tenor of political debate in washington and across the u.s. john hendren al-jazeera mclean virginia a sack cattle only that put him on has all political parties who supports

a session from spain to form a coalition for regional elections in december posted the message on twitter from belgium where he's been for almost a week now a european arrest warrant was issued for him and four of his allies they face charges of rebellion sedition and misuse of public funds for holding a referendum on breaking away from spain. in his hometown. supporters say they agree with his decision to stay in belgium while others are not convinced andrew symonds reports. tradition is colliding with politics in jarana the city's annual festival has gone ahead despite attempts to call it off during a province is the heartland of pro secession politics and the home of carlos. despite appearances people say lured here is really happy. that all my family i don't. know i don't know from got there on the i phone.

and they don't understand exactly what is happening out here. and we need. to. do. right we are going to fight but i think it's very difficult in the old city many balconies make a political statement the spanish national flag represents the minority city councilors say they're in mourning over the jailing of eight sacked cabinet ministers in the unusual just black drapes laid on the front of city hall on the flags above. the european union the catalan regional and the city floods the spanish national flag was removed when secession was declared more than a week ago. and the man says she supports pleased being in belgium is not the us

even in the big i mean i fully understand why president puts them on is seeking european protection especially after seeing what has happened to the rest of the government ministers we can't have a situation where we have political prisoners and i think it's ok that he protects himself and he makes our complex more visible internationally the weeklong festival was supposed to end with a firework display but that's now being canceled organizers who had to consider cutting out other parts of the shed you chose to focus on events aimed at children in catalonia culture tradition and politics have always gone hand in hand the children may be having fun watched by their parents but this year's festival takes place against the backdrop of a long good increasingly bitter struggle for secession andrew simmons al-jazeera. a thirty nine years ago today the u.s. embassy in tehran was overrun by student demonstrators who supported an islamic

revolution the anniversary has become a day of iranian nationalism now and this year i made strained relations between tehran and washington a surface to air missile was displayed in the celebrations. reports from tehran. every year the iranian government and its supporters celebrate student day named for the demonstrators who over read it took control of the u.s. embassy in one nine hundred seventy nine. it happened in the aftermath of the revolution that overthrew the royal family and saw the rise of the islamic republic of iran. with the american rejection of the nuclear deal and aggressive rhetoric from president donald trump the annual event has this year taken on added significance was to we've come here to say in a powerful way that america cannot do a damn thing and until our last drop of blood we will defend our country. we have no problem with the people of america but we don't welcome the government of america. each year the old embassy grounds become

a rallying point with anti-american chances slogans. and the event is an insight into the ideology the iranian establishment works tirelessly to keep alive the events of that they are as important for iranians today as they were thirty eight years ago not just because they want to defy the united states but because the taking of this embassy a symbol of american military might in the middle east at that time by students fuels a mindset of resistance that is woven into the fabric of iran's national identity. and we can see how the government is planning for the future. this show of modern military strength is all about linking the country's past with its present and a reminder to iran's critics the missile program is here to stay one that was after repeatedly being defeated in iraq and afghanistan by the people of our region inevitably the us is bearing its more mongering teeth and on the other side of the

world went into continental missiles are being tested and in southeast asia when nuclear bombs are being tested and threatening and bluffing trump just tweets. many of the young men and women here on any other day might be found enjoying american food and music in one of the many western style restaurants that are popular in iran and that appreciation of american style culture is something the government worries about was in the days leading up to this event a civilian and military leaders gave fiery speeches repeating the message so the young people don't forget for iran america is still an oppressor. zero to one. and only one hundred fifty dead seals have washed up on the shores of the world's deepest lake in southern russia many of them pregnant died in the water and shown no signs of injuries disease or starvation scientists are investigating what may have caused. i want to match the strength of crafts in yemen is in danger
