26 civilians these provocative actions mark a new evolution in the threat ramp poses to the region to our partners and to our own national security including the security of hundreds of thousands of americans and their families who live and work in the gulf states political analyst somebody who has a says the who things must be condemned and once the united nations to intervene immediately the trouble is the timing is so weak it timing in fact if i may say that japanese prime minister. he is visiting to have around to mediate between to iran between iran and united states the other thing is also the united nations secretary assistance rosemarie de carlo she is in riyadh now so the timing is wicked they want to do to show off that they are. a player we could a player a dirty player in the region because you know targeting civilian targets is very

bad as not good for for them but but the whole theses are targeting civilians on purpose on the blindly with the support of the iranian the united nation envoy to the to yemen as mr martin griffiths should do his job properly proficiently should not take sides or be biased towards the whole thing is the whole of the should have been withdrawn from all day you the ports. on a sunny if according to the stockholm was allusions or accords which been signed back in 15th of december 2018 but they did they did they didn't do that on the other side of this is her saying he's a journalist and the whole thing supporter he says the saudis should prepare for more to come. this is the 2nd attack using this type of missiles so this means that . the forces here in sanaa still have many surprises.

on the top of. the. system which caused them hundreds of millions of dollars has actually failed to intercept a cruise missile drone attack so but let me make it clear that the host the. leader of. the every time of the. night out of a minute he's calling them calling them to stop the ticket in yemen. to tell you the opposite what the saudis doing they always keep it in that they will destroy the movement they don't want any peace even though in her data has withdrawn from the saudi has not withdrawn japan's prime minister is on a 2 day visit to iran to ease rising tensions between its ally of the u.s. as well as the islamic republic. president hassan rowhani after arriving into iran

is the 1st japanese head of state to visit iran since the 1979 revolution is also expected to hold talks with iran's supreme leader ali how many on thursday japan says it wants to play mediator between washington and tehran a group of senators is ramping up pressure for a vote to stop the u.s. selling weapons to saudi arabia the republican and democratic senators want to endorse least restrict sales to riyadh based on the kingdom's human rights record last month the government bypassed congress and declared a national security emergency citing growing threats from iran to justify an $8000000000.00 arms sale kimberly halkett is joining us from washington d.c. you've been listening into the testimony so far kimberly what's been said. well what we're hearing is the trumpet ministration defending the intelligence that it believes justified the white house declaring an emergency to bypass congress and

push through arms sales to saudi arabia this is a rage not just senators but members in the house of representatives the lower chamber in the u.s. congress who have called this a phony emergency and abuse of law and a 5 passing of a co-equal branch of government so they hearing that's been taking place is titled and really says it all what emergency arms sales in the dubious end run around congress by the trumpet ministration so we've heard sort of the. the case being made that this is a legitimate concern for u.s. interests that the threat from iran remains imminent in the broader middle east but at the same time it doesn't seem to be sitting well with members of congress who have really been calling into question not only the threat but the sort of flagrant ignoring of the us constitution that mandates can crush congressional approval of

these types of deals so what is a bet we should be looking for a once this hearing and what happens next. yeah you cut it is sort of signaled what's about to happen in your intro there and that was what happens next is going to happen likely in the senate that's where as you pointed out $22.00 resolutions have been put on the table and well this is a republican dominated body just needs a majority and it seems that there are democrats 100 percent behind this and some republicans who are backing these efforts to to block this sale that is going through as a result of this emergency declaration that we should point out with quietly pushed through before a holiday weekend with the administration thought nobody was looking so this is essentially a high stakes showdown between the trumpet ministration the truck white house and the co-equal branch of government the u.s. congress and it's really kind of unprecedented what we're seeing here but it really

shows the shift in u.s. saudi relations that have taken place in recent years not only because of concern that u.s. weapons are being used in the saudi led conflict in yemen that we have to remind our viewers the united nations is called a humanitarian disaster but also the concerned about the flagrant human rights abuses that are alleged against saudi arabia particularly most recently the killing of the washington post journalist about her show she's all right thank you. plenty more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including mali prime minister visits the village which witnessed a massacre saying it's a tragedy for humanity. in russia opposition politician alexei navalny is among $100.00 rested at an anticorruption rally in moscow. fines for spying on falun. peter has details off a punishment for the spanish football. we

groups that they're referring to is just. i mean a group that has called on full on these attack for revenge attacks against the dugong community and also against any representative of the state of course many full on these don't go on are seen as a state sponsored militia so it seems that the call from. kate. for unity has fallen on deaf ears and we're also reporting that the prime minister visited the scene often earlier. nicholas what more do we know about the. this is where the prime minister went there to try to reassure the population and to say that the 1000000 states the 1000000 soldiers are on the ground but of course this is the whole issue that's the crux of it is that soldiers a 1000000 soldiers as well as

a un peacekeeping force that are here we're talking about 14000 soldiers have to fulfill their mandate which is to protect the civilian population the attacks that were we're hearing about or happening just 50 kilometers away from the team where's there's a training mission there are german and dutch soldiers there is an air base where where the french are based as well the there's a big. military base here they have air power they have the seams all the means to intervene and yet time and time again in the past these forces have failed to protect the population and this is resulting in more death and more killing as the spiral of violence just continues here and is getting worse there thank you a 5 year old boy has died of the ebola virus in uganda the world health organization has confirmed 2 other cases and convened an emergency meeting there

eastern parts of south africa that's going to be giving us some heavy rain and gradually drifting its way northward into parts of mozambique as we head into friday so durban should brighten up the top of the 90. as governments failed to cut emissions scientists are proposing drastic measures to save the planet. people in power ways technological endeavors to counter humanity's pollutants against the risks of further meddling with the environment to have a feel like this is playing god it's actually quite unsettling and quite frankly makes me quite sure. klein attack on al-jazeera. i remember the 1st time i walked into the newsroom and it felt like being in the general assembly of the united nations with so many nationalities. it's just that

we all come to different places but it's one that gives bankruptcy us the ability to identify. the other side of the world but we can understand what it's like to have a different perspective and i think that is a strength for al-jazeera. hello again the top stories on the al-jazeera news hour protests in hong kong are continuing over the government's controversial plan to change the extradition law demonstrators who want the bill scrapped of clos with police who fired tear gas to break up the crowd. led military coalition of war in yemen is promising

retaliation for the missile attack on an airport in saudi arabia it says at least $26.00 people were injured when the arrivals hall of the airport was hit and the control tower disabled. on the reports of new attacks somalis fighting between the fulani and on ethnic groups continues on sunday violence between the groups killed almost 100 people in the region will see say has called it's horrific. more now on our top story that attack on a saudi airport's a behemoth right hot is associate professor of conflict resolution at doha institute and author of unfinished revolutions yemen libya and tim is year after the arab spring he's joining us here on set thanks for coming in again and thank you what is the target of a pyre port in saudi arabia or do you think it has particular significance yes of course it's important to get that's a vital target that's an airport that threatens such an act and so the threatens.

in saudi arabia and how sad that it is going to respond to this this is not the 1st time the with is attacking sensitive vital targets for the stability and security of saudi arabia we saw a similar thing happening few weeks ago of the. sending a drone actually attacked towards a refinery. and then now this is an airport there and we have. 26 people when the internationals from different nationalities of course this sends a very strong message now up to this that this attack is not by a drone like the previous attack but by a cruise missile that is what the whole things are saying exactly which raises many questions about who you know how the who does have this cruise missile this sophisticated military think knology and of course the saudis would you know would

think that this is coming from iran and which now suggest that that is an iranian involvement in this or in there i mean back in the summer how do you explain the saudis inability to intercept this missile when they've in fact spent billions and billions of dollars buying sort of weapons and systems to counter these types of attacks well you have that's a good question actually which raises a question again about the. hundreds of billions of dollars that were promised to the. in terms of arms sales and others other things and training got all of that and we're not seeing that this is protecting the vital. targets in saudi arabia but also to keep in mind that saudi arabia is not a small country it's a huge country and in order to secure all the places airports and refineries and all of the i mean this needs. incredible budget or it's just simply not possible

what option is the cities have right now they're calling this a war crime yes i mean that's what they're calling it that's they're threatening to respond to this now what are they going to do i mean they can definitely bombing in yemen but that's not going to resolve the problem because the war this war has been going on for the past 4 years without any solutions that and with his audio that we've been on the attack for the past 4 years or that some of the then to attack but of course this doesn't give them the right to attack civilian targets like an airport the 4th is are saying this that this missile attack was part of a move by the group to target the coalition with what they're calling i for an i attack so a your airports for our airports. why is this happening right now and are they quote unquote succeeding in the fame of their is that while the. signs now that yes they are succeeding because the previous attack was also i curate and it did cause

. serious. instability and see those concerns about how much so that may be a is able to protect this now i thought on i does not solve the problem either because again this is sort of an escalation of the crisis or to the war which doesn't help anyone i think the only way to resolve this is that by talking in gauging there might be a need for the time has come for a regional engagement and also let's not. forget that we have a regional scale lieschen that's happening. with the united states against iran. in terms of the sanctions the. export of oil. and threatening all of the you know a war or possibly possibility in the gulf so this could also be linked to this level of us collation which could be also

a message that's been sent from iran that we are able to cause damage the more that laura said i think of course that on has not has not commented as of course on that on it telling to allegations well if we just take a look right now these are the 1st pictures we're getting off that attack on airports in saudi arabia so 1st pictures coming into us now off a missile which the who feeds are saying is a cruise missile that you can see right there the damage that's been caused at the arrivals terminal off airport according to saudi arabia what does this tell you about the capabilities of the whole thing this is the finitely advanced capabilities to be able to launch cruise missiles hit the target get the airport the as we have seen in this in this attack and also again this sends messages about what an escalation looks like in the future if we continue to see

that tack on account of fact and also if we see more of a regional war in terms of as we were discussing this collation against iran and what the iran is able to use because this is the 1st time we've seen this level of attacks of cruise missiles against an airport. for the past 4 years so again though we did is no evidence to link this to iran or to suggest that this is. necessarily supported by iran but the context the timing this time could be actually an escalation or sins of us is that iran could spawn in other places if it gets attacked like with the who is all with hezbollah or with other unions supported militias in iraq and then syria writes about i mean if i had thank you very much for your analysis. if you open mediators say sudan's military gentle and opposition

hong kong transformed into front lines as violent confrontations between riot police approached him ocracy protesters escalated throughout the day. the fighting was near the legislative council headquarters where the proposed extradition was due to be debated but the government session was postponed because legislators couldn't avoid the protesters to get into the building or anywhere close. late in the afternoon riot police fired tear gas and pepper spray at protesters then rubber bullets right now what you're seeing is this is one of the main areas where this. confrontation between police and the protesters in the going on what's amazing is the communication between the protesters now that this has happened here this tear gas is here they're going to roll back in the we're going to tell everyone well behind that this is happened so everybody will push back with how quickly this is cleared out. from early in the morning protesters blocked roads leading to the central district the heart of hong kong where we have to say phone call now we have to say there will fall and then we have to make sure that that one country 2

systems commitment is being like bringing on and to continue and not to lose hong kong i'm sad i'm frustrated i'm angry and everything we have here and then will stay until this evil is going away the so-called one country 2 systems where freedoms guaranteed in the treaty when colonial rulers britain handed over hong kong to china in 19071 of the organizers of sunday's 1000000 people march demanded the government scrap the extradition laws china's leaders say the law is necessary to close a legal loophole which allows suspected criminals to escape prosecution as protesters built barricades and government leaders issued a warning to political hay for the hong kong government is calling on protesters who are blocking roads to return to the pedestrian sidewalks as soon as possible so traffic can resume i'm also urging protesters to stay calm disperse peacefully and not test the law but the protesters are testing the law and it's looking like

they're digging in preparing to stay images reminiscent of the umbrella pro-democracy movement 5 years ago when protesters blocked up the central business district for 11 weeks it's got harder al jazeera hong kong and let's get an update from difficult pollens joining us from hong kong some protesters were cleared away from the legislative council building. but do they remain in other areas what's the scene like right now. that's right daryn we're about 45 to 50 meters away from the legislative council building and so the protesters have been pushed back there's still columns of police a couple of hours ago about 8 or 9 via police vehicles came with reinforcements they're still standing blocking the path and pushing forward slowly there doesn't seem the protesters don't seem to have a clear plan of action though so what they've been doing is moving back along the artery of this road now this is one of the main roads in hong kong and that runs

right through the through the financial center the quarter final appeal is also behind me and so protesters have been pushing back and placing more barricades asked they pushed back but what you're seeing mostly are protesters walking around milling around not entirely sure what to do in the road parallel to me which leads to the government headquarters there also protesters there they're all grouping together and then disbanding and moving forward so there are protesters maybe in the hundreds not entirely sure whether they could hit the thousands but there are protesters along this main highway in the parallel highway but when you ask them what their plan of action is many of them say we don't know we'll see we're trying to stay here throughout the night and trying to block these roads when it comes to the morning and paralyze traffic in the area to show that they are defiant and that they will not back down but whether they can do that given the lack of organization and to the fact that the police seem to be a lot more organized than they were in the 24 team protests where this is something

that never seen before this time they seem to be trained as to what to do with these protesters and how to disperse them and as far as the authorities go we know that today's legislative council meeting was canceled or postponed due to the scene out on the streets but what are all 40 saying is there an indication that there could be some sort of rethink on this issue of the extradition law. you know they really make a very good point yes the proceedings were canceled or postponed as you say do mainly to the fact that people could not get into the building so they were postponed because of logistics not entirely because of what the people wanted whether the law is going to be amended or delayed even further that seems very unlikely the chief executive gave an interview to a local television station today saying that she feels that this law is essential for hong kong she feels like she's being very reasonable despite the fact that

a 1000000 people marched on sunday demanding that this law be reconsidered instead of listening to them what she's done is instead of going through the normal process and procedures in hong kong's constitution she's in fact fos tracked it pretty much showing that she is not listening to the people so whether this protest is going to make a difference most likely because they're blocking the way rather than changing the mindset of the government that is the big question but what's also many people are watching very closely is to see how beijing is going to react during that protest the umbrella movement way back in 2014 it started off pretty much like this police fired tear gas at these young protesters threw 2 protesters buckled down set up tents they were on the streets for $79.00 days this time though it doesn't seem like they'll have the patience to do that in this time it doesn't seem like the central government will be giving in and the way and allowing this this protest just to whimper instead there is a sense here that they will want to shut this down and get traffic and hong kong

back to normal by the morning they can go to holland for the time being to for frank you. the sodium rotten led military coalition fighting in yemen is promising to retaliate after a missile attack by 40 rebels on a saudi airports the coalition says the projectile described by all things as a cruise missile hit the arrivals hall at an airport north of the yemeni border at least $26.00 people of various nationalities were injured including women and children yemen's houthi rebels say they're responsible for hitting and disabling the airport tower. has more from sun up yes the. army spokesperson said that the. cruise crew kirk crew misao has been modified in the yemen and such from israel is just part of the 300 declared by the group here the confirmed that
