Japan and South Korea Hold Protests For Disputed Islands

Description:The row over islands disputed by South Korea and Japan intensifies on Friday as Japan marks "Takeshima Day." The islands, called Takeshima in Japan and Dokdo in Korea have sullied relations between the two neighbours as they both declare authority over them. Takeshima Day in Japan was started in 2005 to support Tokyo's claims to territory. About 40 Japanese activists rallied near the South Korean embassy to mark the day. (1:24)
