In a landmark move Saudi Arabia's King Salman has given women in the Kingdom the right to drive with the royal order set to come into force on June 24 next year.

There has been social change in the country in recent weeks. On Saturday, hundreds of women thronged a sports stadium for the first time to mark Saudi Arabia's national day.

King Salman issued an order easing male guardianship rules this year, allowing women to benefit from government services such as education and healthcare. Previously they needed male consent to access such services.

Saudi Arabias Vision 2030 is aimed at improving the quality of life of its citizens and expatriates through better efficiencies, the adoption of new technology and innovation.

Heavy gunfire breakout in Riyadh tonight was a toy drone which was shot down near the royal palace - amid claims of a 'coup'.
A police spokesman said forces at a checkpoint in the Khozama district, where the palace is based, identified the drone and "dealt with it according to their orders", local media said.
The explanation came after wildly conflicting reports on social media speculating on the cause of the shooting.
Senior Saudi officials said King Salman was not in the palace at the time despite repeated Twitter reports he was moved to a military bunker in the city amid the unfolding panic.
Videos posted on Twitter captured the sound of bullets near the royal residence, sparking a frenzy of confused claims.
