beginning that we're going to recalibrate our relationship with. saudi arabia and that you know president biden one of the questions there was also just to go back to the context of it whether he would be speaking with us and part of that is going back to engagement counterpart to counterpart the president's counterpart is king someone and i expect that an appropriate time he would have a conversation with him. let's go to mike hanna who's in washington d.c. how big a shift is this on saudi arabia. but it is significant you heard there the phrase counterpart to counterpart to president biden making very clear that when he has a conversation with saudi arabia it will be with the king as you point out different too under the trumpet ministration where relations were conducted largely with the crown prince and largely through president trump son in law jerry so this is a marked change but they have been at the changes as well since coming to power the

bite at administration has referred to saudi arabia as a strategic partner it did not use or has not used the word ally which was commonly used by then president trump but there's another aspect to this as well the director of national intelligence admiral haynes has made clear to congress that she would be willing to provide the cia report into the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi now this as well as a major change because the traffic ministrations simply refused to do so then president brushing off the whole matter so there is a major shift in terms of the u.s. relationship into the biden ministration but it must be said to it's a moderate shift the biden administration still making very clear that it seems this was a relationship with saudi arabia as in the national interest particularly with regard to iran as the administration forges a new policy there and in the meantime the u.s. is called on yemen's who he rebels to hold their advance on the city of marriage

and come to the negotiating table to end the war that is more about that. this is once again part of a balancing act being conducted by the biden administration as it starts reformulating policy in the region on the one hand it has made very clear it will no longer support any saudi led operations against the hutus and yet at the same time the state department issues a very strong statement calling on the hutus to stop their advance in the government held city and to renew negotiations under the auspices of the united nations so once again there's an even handed would appear being played by the biden ministration here on the one case removing the terrorist operation against the hutus that had been imposed by then president but at the same time sending a very strong signal that it expects the who things to go back to the negotiating table it's a very fine balancing act and making clear too that the biden and ministration

despite this recalibration does not want to destroy its relationship with saudi arabia it needs to provide the preserve it or beard in a different form now can i thank you very much joe biden is heading to wisconsin later on his 1st official trip as u.s. president it's one of the states that was key to his presidential victory and it's been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic john hendren is in milwaukee for us now john what does biden hope to achieve with this visit. this is essentially joe biden's kovac 19 relief road trip he's got a $1.00 trillion dollar program that he wants to get passed through congress and this is his opportunity to tell that this is a plan that would give individuals payments it would give payments to state and local governments and it would also give money to businesses large and small this is the kind of thing that president obama did at the beginning of his

administration when he passed the affordable care act in the end old women would just democratic votes but he did a kind of road tour going around the country and the purpose of that is to try to get the people who support the president to pressure their members of congress in order to get that passed now it's happening here in milwaukee because it's such an important state wisconsin is for the democratic party when they neglected this democratic leaning state in 2016 hillary clinton did not campaign here they lost by a narrow margin well biden campaigned here at least 3 times in 2020 and he ended up winning by an equally narrow margin but the democratic party had to pull its convention from here it ended up being a virtual convention and joe biden ended up accepting in wilmington delaware so they still feel like they owed the state of wisconsin something and this is joe biden's way to come around show the state that it is important to this new administration and essentially mix a little politics with pandemic relief. we've been hearing recently from what he

had to say. yeah i literally saw this just seconds before on air but essentially he trashes the republican party and its leaders i'm going to give you a little sample he says the republican party can never again be respected or strong with political leaders in quotations like senator mitch mcconnell at its helm goes on to say how much he has done for the republican party how we won 75000000 votes keep in mind he lost by 7000000 but also essentially just talking up his own contribution this really makes an extra split in a party that's already heavily divided between the trump republicans and the non trump republicans you've got members of congress like adam kinzinger a democrat for a republican rather from illinois who says he's not going to go along with. the policies of the past he voted for conviction in the impeachment trial of donald

trump which as you know did not ultimately convict him and then you've got people like mitt romney the republican senator from utah also voted guilty and these are members of the republican party who trump is essentially casting aside he's already hinted that he is likely to support primary contest opponents who would take these guys out and i misspoke a minute ago when i said adam kinzinger voted for conviction he's a house member so he voted to send the impeachment forward to the senate but in any case this just sort of solidifies the split in the republican party and donald trump is coming out and specifically naming the republicans he's against the number one on that list is senator mitch mcconnell the former senate leader and now he's the senate minority leader john hendren thank you very much indeed. manaus military says its takeover was not a coup in its 1st news conference a spokesman for the armed forces says it had no choice but to seize power but again
