Pro-Iran protesters were in New York’s Times Square on Friday to mark Al Quds Day, many of them holding anti-war and anti-Israel signs.
A small number of pro-Israel counter-protesters also turned out.
An Al Quds event will also take place in London on Sunday but organisers say it will be a peaceful “static” protest after the home secretary banned a planned march to prevent disorder.
Met Police say they plan to use the Thames to separate protesters and counter-protesters, with more than 10,000 people expected.
Protesters at the Al Quds march will be south of the River Thames on Albert Embankment, while counter-protesters will be contained within Millbank.
Interception debris hits Dubai building
Debris from a “successful interception” has hit the facade of a building in central Dubai.
Posting on X, Dubai’s media office said the incident had been “fully contained” and “no fire occurred and no injuries were reported”.
Footage over the last two weeks has shown damage to a number of buildings in Dubai, apparently caused by Iranian drones and missiles – or falling debris after they were shot down.
Incidents have also occurred near its main airport and the outbreak of the fighting paralysed flights in the region.
A 60-year-old British tourist was also charged this week after allegedly having a video on his phone of a missile strike, according to the Detained in Dubai group.
It said 21 people had now been charged under Dubai’s cyber-security laws, which prohibit such acts in the name of public security.
