SAUDI ARABIA EXPELS TEHRAN ENVOYS

Saudi Arabia has told Iranian diplomats to leave the country within two days, as a row intensifies over the execution by Saudi Arabia of a Shia Muslim cleric.

Demonstrators stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran after Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr was executed along with 46 others on Saturday for terror-related offences.

Iran accused Saudi Arabia of provoking tension in the region, while the US has urged calm and diplomatic engagement.

But the diplomatic crisis is also leading to further scrutiny for other countries' relations with Saudi Arabia.

Armed protesters take over US federal building

Armed protesters have taken over a federal building in the US state of Oregon to protest the prosecution of two men.

Dwight Hammond and his son Steven have been ordered back to jail after a court ruled their sentences for an arson attack in 2012 were not long enough.

Campaigners say they could remain on the land for years and would not rule out violence if authorities try to remove them.

One of the protesters Ammon Bundy says he joined to campaign against the prosecution of the two men.

US President Barack Obama has signaled he plans to tighten the country's gun laws, despite Republican opposition.

The President is due to meet the Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Monday to discuss possible options.

New rules could include expanding background checks on buyers and other restrictions.
