saudi arabia says it intercepted seven missiles launched by who see rebel forces in yemen. but again i'm watching al-jazeera life from my headquarters here in doha also coming up thirty seven people are confirmed dead after a fire ripped through a shopping mall in siberia many more a still missing also ahead. unrest on the streets of boston us the former catalan leader just detained in germany on an extradition warrant from spain. and a former adult movie star who alleges having up an affair with donald trump back in two thousand and six. says she was threatened with physical harm to keep quiet.

saudi arabia's air force says it's intercepted seven missiles fired from yemen who's the rebels have claimed responsibility for the strikes which also targeted king khaled international airport in the capital city riyadh the saudi authorities say an egyptian national was killed in the attacks the group also fired missiles at airports in the southern saudi cities of just not sure on the saudi led coalition has been fighting the who the rebels in yemen since twenty fifteen in a recorded statement the who's the leader one the saudis of a military escalation. in the fourth year of fighting we will be using more developed and more diverse missile systems which will overcome all american and non american air defense systems will use our better and better can

missiles will use a long range drones which have excellent military capabilities we will activate the military institutions in an unprecedented way and open up more opportunities to recruit the children and remain of our people to fight live now to santa and we're going to talk to say in albuquerque he's a pro who see yemeni journalist to stay in albuquerque we're saying seven missiles launched by goofy rebel forces can you confirm for us that that is indeed the correct number. what i have is. the capital city airport both. called the. airport south saudi arabia and six short trying to me. lounged. airport and they did an airport south saudi arabia and other army base i found that

area these missile launches clearly coordinated is this. or can we expect more missiles to be launched in the coming few hours. i think this is a mess it's not that there will be more missile in the coming hour but it will be more it could be in the coming days in the coming weeks because today we mark three years of the saudi that coalition war in yemen we are entered in the fourth year and to lounge these. missiles at one time this show it is a clear message to the saudi that coalition that you have of that they have failed to destroy yemeni ballistic missiles as they said at the beginning of the of the war when they declared in the first two weeks that they have destroyed eighty five to ninety percent of the ballastic air missile and of the american who the leader of the host is have clearly said that we have developed

a new system that could void. american defense missiles like patriot and we've seen in some of these videos posted on twitter from saudi citizens that some of this missile did actually reach the target and we have seen some back to you with missiles like jordan and back hit him. inside saudi arabia i don't know what kind of system but i think that the hoti has actually successfully targeted the saudi like. more than any time obviously we have no way of independently confirming whether the who says have a new system or not but as per the last time this happened november the fourth last year you are using missiles supplied by your friends in iran. i mean i mean we've seen the three years of the saudi blockade in yemen they didn't allow food and medicine to come in d.m.

and how can iran if it true what the saudis said how can they smuggle this wagon and if that's true that the iranian has successfully smoke that drives into yemen this mean that the saudi blockade for three years it was only against the stored food and medicine to come into yemen because there's always. the high water with religious thought as well as you know and i know the border between saudi arabia and yemen has always been porous and people want to get round the blockade they always do they always can. i mean you can you can you can get how in the blockade if you go by yourself but you can get out on the blockade will report out of closed or destroyed the port they say and you cannot go with a longer range missiles to smuggle it into the country the saudi led coalition has a tight blue qaeda in yemen and if they have the same excuse at the beginning when they say they want to stop yemeni threat to the saudi to stop iranian help to yemen

now after three years they have the same excuses. that they just to be themselves was the point of this three years of war hundreds of thousands of people have died because of course not because of starvation this means that you only heard they many civilians on satellite the how this still capable to launch me is that there are stronger than before and this is as well another failure to the saudi led coalition in yemen ok to send other. good structure as ever thank you very much for joining us here on al-jazeera at least thirty seven people many of them children have been killed in a fire shopping center in siberia sixty nine others are reported missing after the blaze which happened in the city of kemah over three thousand kilometers east of moscow correspondent for a challenge has the latest from the russian capital. well from what we understand so far the fire started on the top floor the fourth floor of this shopping mall complex and quickly ripped through an area of about one thousand six hundred square

meters the building the mall is called it is in that. shopping mall and it's in central camera footage taken by locals i'm on mobile phones for outside the building think smoke pouring from the upper floors some of the footage also shows firefighters using lattice trying to get access to the windows knapp's you know much of the services we understand managed to evacuate about one hundred people from the building and then they also managed to rescue another twenty it's a pretty new complex this it was only opened in two thousand and thirteen but it's got movie theaters inside it's got restaurants or so on or a bowling alley in a children's zoo and the initial reports suggest that a good number of the casualties were actually found in one of the main movie roles and in this complex it's quickly taken on the aspect of

a national disaster the kremlin is being kept up to speed with how things have been developing the crimean spokesperson jerry mitri pescado said that but i think the president has dispatched the emergency minister to the site of the tragedy and various units from the emergency ministry including robotics and drones and other equipment is being mobilized but for most government and also this is the a present i ask you now because of the severity of this event also a criminal investigation that has very quickly being opened. dozens of people have been injured during protests in barcelona calling for the release of the former catalan president carlos puja mt three people were arrested in the clashes with the police huge amount was detained in north and germany on sunday and is now waiting to hear whether he'll face extradition to spain he's wanted on rebellion charges stemming from last year's a session vote which was declared illegal by the government in madrid david chaytor

has this update from barcelona. the mood in barcelona has definitely changed there are many people on the streets during the course of the day calling for general strikes calling for action and the speaker of the separatist catalan parliament also said that they should form a new front a calling on trade unions and civic society to come together to. prevent any more attacks on what they call the heart of spanish democracy now that could take the form of general strikes they've been blocking many motorways leading into this area but i think in the end and the mentum will build as we see more and more pictures of karla's puts them all in germany whether he's remodeled in custody or given bail that'll be a crucial factor to in and how much anger will be shown here on the streets of barcelona but it is expected a general strike could be called this is really invigorated the protest movement

here and i think we'll see it by the sheer number of people coming out on the streets of barcelona an adult film star who alleges she had an affair with president on will trump in two thousand and six says she was threatened with physical violence after she first tried to go public with the story stormy daniels told the c.b.s. program sixty minutes she was accosted by an unidentified man in a las vegas carpark and twenty eleven who said to leave trump alone threat came weeks after she agreed to sell details of her affair to a magazine in the u.s. into usually a client to discuss whether she had evidence of her affair with mr trump let's get more on that correspondent dynas approach and says live from washington just flesh out for us what she was saying. yet no real bombshells in this interview a lot of it had been leaked to the media already she talked about the encounter that she had with president trump she said at the time he had promised her an

appearance on his television show the apprentice he kept in touch he wanted to have another encounter with her and she turned him down and she said after that the television appearance on the apprentice sort of went away then she she also talked about how in around twenty eleven i believe it was she was approached by a magazine to sell her story for fifteen thousand dollars she said when president trump who was then a private citizen at the time failed to cooperate corroborate that story she was not paid the money for the magazine article that magazine article went away and then she was of course threatened by this man in a parking lot. she also talked about how she sold her story for one hundred thirty thousand dollars to this attorney who representing allegedly representing the president said she did that because she had been promised a lot more money during the presidential campaign but she really she said she

really didn't want to go public because she was afraid that it would be embarrassing to her family and she just wanted to get on with her life so that's that was sort of the nuts and bolts of the interview palm's some dude i mean the evangelical right wing do we know if they're going to walk away from donald trump one assumes not how much damage will this will be to him. it's really hard to say you know they haven't at this point and there are two other lawsuits pending against him from from women alleging one alleging a similar situation a similar lawsuit in another woman saying that she was exposed to some unwanted kissing and groping by the president and she wants and purse her lawsuit is going forward as was the supreme court in new york allowed that suit to go forward last week so these are continuing to be a distraction the question is will the president settle these out of court to get

them away you know to get him off the plate or will he allow these to drag on and on i talked to an attorney who said there are two ways that that could go if it drags on it could continue to be a distraction for the president or it could fade from the public consciousness which might work to his advantage ok don let's get a sense of what she was saying that to sixty minutes i was in a parking lot going to a fitness class with my infant daughter just taking in the seats facing backwards in the back seat diaper bag you know getting all the stuff out and a guy walked up on me and said to me leave champ alone forget the story and then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said it's a beautiful little girl and be ashamed of something how much her mom and then he was gone. and again that was probably the biggest bombshell to emerge from this interview but elements of that had been out there but nobody really knew prior to

this interview what these physical threats actually work dan thanks very much still to come here on al-jazeera election eve in egypt voters go to the polls on monday in the presidential election and the outcome is considered a foregone conclusion. damage control from facebook public buys full page ads in u.s. newspapers we'll tell you what he said. from dusky sunsets over this pruning savannah. to sunrise atop an asian metropolis. we've got plenty of warm sunshine across much of asia now we are looking at the winds picking as temperatures up to around twenty six celsius in hong kong not bad in shanghai even despite the fact that it's going to cloud over over the next as i type is getting up to around twenty degrees possibility of some rain some rain so the possibility of its walls the southwest corner that will

piece. a key figure of the early twentieth century arab literary scene. and to feminists right time. and time. so why did a story and in such tragedy. al-jazeera won't expose the life and why of maisie at this time on al-jazeera. welcome back a quick reminder of the top stories so far today serbia arabia's air force says

it's intercepted seven missiles fired from yemen because the rebels have claimed responsibility for the strikes which targeted airports in the capital riyadh and three other cities the saudi authorities say one person was killed in the attack two others were injured. at least thirty seven people many of them children been killed in a fire the shopping center in siberia sixty nine others are reported to be missing and the blaze which happened in the city of chemical three thousand kilometers east of moscow the cause of the fire is not yet known. and adult film star who alleges she had an affair with donald trump in two thousand and six says she was threatened with physical violence after she first tried to go public with the story stormy daniels has told the c.b.s. sixty minutes show she was accosted by an unidentified man in a car park in las vegas and twenty eleven said to leave mr trump alone. now to syria where more than five thousand rebel fighters and civilians are being evacuated from eastern guta to opposition held areas in it live state media says

nearly one hundred ten thousand people have left the enclave since a humanitarian corridor was open government forces are close to controlling all of what had been the last rebel stronghold close to damascus following a month long offensive just one group jaish islam is now holding out but they are believed to be close to a deal to leave say in a hot an hour from beirut. the evacuations are continuing fighters their family members as well as civilians being bussed out of what was once the rebel controlled enclave of eastern ghouta to the rebel controlled province of idlib in the northwest of the country this is part of course of the evacuation deals or what amounts really to a surrender the rebels didn't have much of a choice they were besieged by government forces and there was a relentless bombing campaign campaign that was targeting civilians who were trapped inside so it's not only the fighters who are leaving it is people who are involved in opposition activities media activists people that we've been speaking

to telling us that we're only able to pack a few belongings and we're going to the unknown we're leaving behind our homes our lives the will we be able to to rebuild our lives once again will we be able to return to our homes so these people are really afraid of what comes next because they're going to live which is also not a safe area it is an area which is a target really of the pro-government alliance but the pro-government alliance declaring victory as saying that they're clearing the area from what they call terrorists eastern huta has long been a thorn in the side of the government the last major rebel stronghold close to the capital close to the government seat of power there have been numerous attempts over the years to recapture eastern huta but the government lacked the manpower they were busy on many front lines but this time around it was an all out to military campaign and the only choice the opposition had was to surrender. ok let's take a closer look at rebel controlled it live where those fighters from eastern guta

and the provinces largely controlled by the rebel alliance high at sharm or h.t.s. for short it sits next to lattakia which is a government stronghold around two and a half million people live there a million of them displaced by fighting in other areas of the country now in theory this is a deescalation zone but that hasn't stopped government forces backed by the russians from repeatedly bombing cities and towns there it has also been hit by several suspected chemical attacks the most well known perhaps being the concha coom attack of twenty seventeen that killed eighty three people. turkey's president russia type herder one has announced his forces will launch a cross border campaign on the syrian town of tal rafah now comes after the turkish army and allied syrian opposition fighters took total control of the northern enclave of three and they launched a ground offensive against kurdish fighters in late january forcing thousands to flee the turkish military is now sweeping the area to allow residents to safely

return. egyptians head to the polls in the coming hours in an election expected to return the president sisi to power the vote comes seven years after the revolution that ended the three decades long presidency of hosni mubarak al jazeera is richard gere's but from media review show the listening post has been analyzing the egyptian news coverage in the run up to the vote reporting this election campaign hasn't been a particularly complex operation for the egyptian news media the decks were largely cleared early on a potential challenger is to president our daughter l.c.c. one by one those would be candidates dropped out of the race for egyptians turning into broadcasters both state owned as well as private there have been plenty of media outlets to watch but much less available in terms of information opinions and perspectives. over the past few weeks egypt's state owned broadcaster and private

channels like d.m.c. . and on t.v. have all done their part in scripting a fed accompli contributing on the airwaves to the cult of personality surrounding president. be the golden boy he might help to sydney and. maybe get fairly slowly fade out of their chemicals had a machete guy to shadow and it's not just the news turn to a sports program or a soap opera and you'll see football and film star among those who have been added to the nonstop chorus of proces the voices you will hear and see on the egyptian airwaves egypt's media routinely glorify a military strongman and have played a key role in manufacturing a national security narrative that warns against impending chaos domestic terrorism and external threats from iran turkey and qatar and the let me not. to quote them of the. way. that they would have thought of robin most of the sources.

they are iran. and then at the. thought that i will start of course of stories about foreign threats are not just being reported by the egyptian media the egyptian government has also accused some foreign news outlets of being threats to national security themselves earlier this month egypt accused the b.b.c. of lies and false allegations of human rights abuses this network al-jazeera has long been considered persona non-grata accused by the c.c. government of having a pro muslim brotherhood agenda. wow laws in that store that then we had a up that's going to think the egyptian state has gained control of the media landscape channels the authorities don't like have been banned journalists and politicians who refused to fall silent have been arrested that's how the egyptian news media are covering this presidential campaign and election with just one candidate one vision and only one possible outcome dalia family is an associate

professor of political science from long island university she says the legitimacy of the election results will depend on the turnout. we need enough turnout to lend some legitimacy in this election and so yes there was a forty seven percent or not last election but that really was twenty three million people a population of over nine ninety million answer the question is what is the state and what is the swimming what of it what does this agenda really look like since president sisi has taken power we've seen sixty thousand political prisoners rounded up the regina has built sixteen more prisons to put the population the generation that was dealing just in two thousand and eleven generation protest that is now deemed generation jailed by amnesty international there have been eight hundred thirty cases of torture two hundred fifty people have been disappeared so far this year the mass unfair trials the sweeping death sentences the closures of n.g.o.s the blocking the four hundred thirty four news websites and so what you're

seeing is the consolidation of power around an individual not even a regime anymore an individual who's who's really fearful about maintaining a sense of legitimacy we are entering into an election tomorrow where the streets of cairo and alexandria and all over egypt are painted with the image of president the fact that assisi. historically the lessons we learned some from author to intervene in the past in central america was that a certain tearing leaders actually painted town in the in in their own image during an election not so much for the election but to remind the people of their power to remind people of i am the person i am the only individual i'm not just your savior but you have no real alternative because one of the economic conditions and easy quick like today with his sweeping austerity measures what you see is thirty percent inflation two thirds of the population is under the age of twenty nine you

have seventy percent and playing in some areas of pyro and so when there is no alternative even for individuals who need a heavy handed clampdown especially during an election to say there is no alternative but presidencies. organizers of the march for life campaign say saturday was the largest gun reform protest in a generation but while people were demonstrating across the u.s. president trump remained silent at his holiday home in florida and that's raising questions over how much of an impact the movement will have on legislation and a calico now from washington. ah by any measure the march for our lives protest was a success hundreds of thousands of people came to hear from those whose lives have been touched by gun violence during decades my community. has become accustomed to this violence. around the world the refrain of never again was heard loud and clear but while crowds gathered close to the white house

president donald trump was in florida his twitter account has remained silent on the issue although the white house issued a statement that in part said we applaud the many courageous young americans exercising their first amendment rights keeping our children safe is a top priority of the president's on friday the president signed a bill that includes legislation that aims to strengthen background checks. moves to ban stocks which turn rifles into fully automatic weapons weapons are also on the way campaigners say it's not enough the fact that nobody is discussed in the bill they don't say the word gun once. what causes all these shootings what's the one thing to tie everything together there's no specific mental health problem that makes all these shootings happen is the weapon and the fact that they aren't taking any action towards it is proof that is the beginning of a movement but translating never again into significant changes will be challenging former astronaut mark kelly whose wife survived an assassination attempt says it

will be a long road ahead i would warn them not to get this courage you know this is often two steps forward and one step back. to the opportunity to talk to a few of them yesterday and they have a plan and this is this is not the last you're going to see these kids the protesters that came here may be gone but their list of demands remains banning assault weapons extended magazines and raising age limits will be challenging while the republicans remain in power and the national rifle association continues to wield so much influence the next revolution say organizers will be at the polls and al-jazeera washington facebook c.e.o. has taken out a full page newspaper in the u.s. and the u.k. to apologize for he says is a breach of trust the ad signed by mark zuckerberg says he's sorry more wasn't done at the time that millions of profiles were leaked to cambridge analytic up in twenty fourteen goes on to say they are limiting the data that they get when you

sign in using facebook so the company is investigating every app that had access to large amounts of data and he promises to do better and says everyone will be informed when other apps are banned marc saltzman is a tech journalist and author in toronto he says facebook is clearly in full crisis mode. they're doing what they can to plug in the holes they need more transparency they need to review and over you know totally over you know redo their entire security and privacy protocols look them over and if they want to you know keep this you know what close to two billion user accounts they have to have more transparency and perhaps more importantly you know once the users leave then the advertisers are. leaving jump ship also so this is a big thing that they need to do so is it enough it's something you know that the silence right after this story broke by was deafening because it took them a few days to come forward clearly he was figuring out what this p.r.

team how to come out so they did it enough we'll have to see they lost quite a bit of money in their market value last last week about fifty billion dollars u.s. . this is al jazeera these are the top stories saudi arabia's air force says this intercepted seven missiles fired from yemen you see rebels have claimed responsibility for the strikes which talk to the airports in the capital riyadh and three other cities the saudi authorities say one person was killed in the attack and two others were injured. one the saudis a military escalation. in the fourth year of fighting we will use a more developed and more diverse missile systems which will overcome all american and known american air defense systems will use our better and pecan missiles to
