2:05 am
determination to live up to your pin values and standards ukraine before the world had already embarked on its way towards the european union for 8 years now, it had already been gradually moving closer to our union, well, it could take many years for ukraine to actually achieve full e u membership countries submit a membership application to the council, which then collectively assesses their ability to meet the copenhagen criteria. and this includes a functioning market economy stable democracy and the rule of law, as well as the acceptance of all you legislation and the euro. it's expected that ukraine will need to implement judicial and anti corruption reforms. if the commissions opinion is positive, the council then begins to negotiate membership often on a subject by subject basis which can take years. 5 nations currently have a new, candid, the status. those are albania, north macedonia, montenegro, serbia,

from moscow. and to this bid for e u membership in the last 24 hours, the criminal spokesman, dimitri pasco, has said that moscow is monitoring ukraine's e. u membership been closely specifically in relation to increased cooperation militarily with european countries. let's not forget that one of the reasons why moscow said, and it's believed that vladimir putin gave the go ahead for an invasion of this country, was because in his eyes, ukraine is russia's sphere influence. so any move further west, any move towards europe and nato countries. inside europe is going to be potentially perceived as a, as only adding to that sense of freight that vladimir putin says, threatens russia. the british prime minister has visited key for the 2nd time in just over 2 months for his johnson was cheered as he walked through the city with

2:14 am
a long way away from the major population. so you can forget the word storm and think of the word heat now as the major driving force. now luckily down in phoenix, in fact this call the southwest. this is south west is more than the way shouts, but if you're anywhere else and i read to be virtually anywhere else. this he, she's moving north was through the mid west right across the canadian border watch . we pay a $20.00 on saturday up to about $38.00 on sunday that's knocking on the door of it's sitting reco. clearly it's cooling in the higher ground, further west. and so you're lucky, you get some rain there as well. they're not in california. as for this part of the americas yet big shells, again, jamaica cuba, the bahamas. back through a good part of this was and then good. look at some mexico. huge amount of rains. he's likely they with potential development of a tropical spin off of shore in south america. once again, this familiar line is shad through paraguay is moving out, but still living
2:15 am
a residue of shout potentially for rio. the oh oh i . wherever you go in the world, woman line goes to make it feel exceptional. katara always going places to give me the the me
2:16 am
hello again. the top story is on, i'll just read this. our police in brazil say human remains found in the amazon rain forest have been confirmed just missing. british journalists don't show that there yet identify other remains ought to belong to indigenous expert bruna perrera who was traveling with the european commission is recommending ukraine over as candidates for your membership all 27 you leaders could vote to ground the countries candidate status as early as next week, at least one person and your husband killed, and several others injured. his protests against the new military recruitment team intensify across the country. demonstrator set train john busters on fire, calling on the government to reverse its decision. the u. s. president joe biden says he will not meet saudi arabia as crown prince one on one. during his visit next month, biden has been facing criticism after the white house announced his trip to re odd
2:17 am
. he wants vows to make saudi arabia a pariah state. after the murder of journalist john casualty, i'm not going to be with them. yes, i'm going to do is actually, if you're going to be part of it, that's like there were people part of the stuff in the day. let's talk about the strip of gregory galaxies, department headed professor of international affairs at texas a and m university. he's joining us vice guy from college station that's also in texas. welcome to al jazeera sir. why do you think that the president is downplaying his upcoming trip to saudi arabia? i think that he's climbing down from some, a pretty tough campaign. rhetoric, calling for the ground friends for saying he was going to isolate him. and you know, the fact is that he's going to be in the same room with them. and i'm not sure why he'd be going to saudi arabia except to talk to him. but obviously he's got, he's got to work the domestic side of this and, and,
2:18 am
and back away from some very strong language he used during the campaign. right. and what do you think the main sort of point of this trip is going to be? is that just all about those high prices at the pump in the u. s? i think that that's the driver. i think the president wants to show the american people that he's doing everything you can even at the margins to bring down the price of gasoline. but there's a lot of issues the on, on the table for, for this meeting. it doesn't look like there's going to be a return to the iran nuclear deal. and that means the iranian nuclear issue is going to be in the forefront regional politics. again, there's also the administration's efforts to bring israel and saudi arabia closer together, although i don't think we'll see the saudis joining the abraham records anytime soon. and there's yemen, which is a bit of an issue. so there's a lot on the table. so for washington, how important is that at this point to maintain ties with saudi arabia following
2:19 am
the russian invasion of ukraine as europe looks now to set it to cut its energy dependence on russia? well, i think that the ukraine issue just brought into very stark relief. the fact that saudi arabia is still the major player in the world oil market. and even though the long term goal of the by the administration is clearly the reduce, the importance of fossil fuels. that's not going to happen in the short term. people are still driving their cars and they still need gasoline. and so, combined with these other geopolitical issues in the middle east, the ukraine war and the effect of tat on energy markets is really driving the, by the administration back into a relationship with saudi arabia. and let me put this here because some people say, well, you know, shunning saudi arabia would just be counter productive for the united states. because that then would drive the kingdom into the arms of russia and china. what do you make of that argument?
2:20 am
so i think that saudi arabia already has very interesting relations with both china and russia, and they're not going to give those are china's it's major energy, consumer partner, right? the major buyer of saudi energy and russia and saudi arabia are the 2 key players in trying it, in any efforts to, to control the volatility of, of the world oil market. not so much russia now with the sanctions in the ukraine. we're booked before the opec plus framework, and so there's going to be a relationship there, but neither russia nor china can provide the kind of security guarantees. and the security assistance at the united states can to saudi arabia. i think the saudis understand that that's why they're anxious for, for getting the relationship back on some kind of normal normal footing. all right, i'll leave it there. thank you so much for speaking to us from texas. my pleasure. now the democratic republic of congo has closed its border with rwanda. after
2:21 am
a congo, lee soldier was killed. the rwandan government says he'd cross the border from the city of goma and was shot dead after opening fire on police officers and civilians . oh, his body was later returned to authorities in goma. earlier this week congolese army supporters protested against rwanda's. a legend support for the m 23 rebel group. funeral service has been held in southwest nigeria for some of the people killed in an attack on a church earlier this month. 22 people were burrito made anger at the government's failure to secure lives on property across the country. i did these reports in the town of o 22 caskets holding the bodies of men, women and children lined up for moss. their families grieve to wonder how long nigerians will have to endure the bloodshed. religious leader say the government is
2:22 am
failing the people. what does it take for every step to house? did police to be able to present is why, why do i handle bag hug? why do i, how can be put back anybody potentially so goodness as a country continues to bleed. so political leaders are beginning to i, i mean, before you do our steps, i feel our security, we offend raw food. the service brought together people of different faiths in the anger and grief. oh, the physical damage caused by the or torture type may, he'll quicker. what community me to see. i say it's cracked this icon on to can impact to last much longer. what happened? yeah, us shaken the piece and confidence of a region that is largely avoided. much of the rather than to sweeping across

2:26 am
or in the waters surrounding china, specifically in the south china sea. now if you look at taiwan, for example, the growing tensions there tie one of the democratically self ruled island, beijing sees it as a robe. chinese characters and chinese prison achieved in paying has said a number of times that will be re unified with the mainland, peacefully, preferably but by force if necessary. so for sure, this growing step forward when it comes to chinese navy, a ton of navy is going to be seen as an increasing threat for taiwan. it's also significant when you look at the growing rivalry with the us, the us, the but in administration, in particular, has been moving to strengthen its ties with asia pacific countries. specifically to counter china is growing influence in the region and it's growing military life. millions have been left a place by extreme weather events in china. the southern city guangzhou has been

2:29 am
doubt about why this is happening. we're warming our climate generally so the average temperatures have risen by just either one degrees celsius since the industrial period. and that means that the hot extremes that we see every summer are becoming at least one degree hotter. and that also becoming more frequent and also lasting longer and climate activists are threatening more decisive action to proceed in action by governments, a big business similar to the extinction, rebellion protests that shut down parts of central london a few years ago were fed up of, of here in the rhetoric we made meaningful action. and if our leaders are incapable of doing that, they're not capable of getting off of a fossil fuel addiction, they're just doubling down on it and continuing to pursue new fossil fuel investments. continue to subsidize this home for industry than we were have the core of we have to call them out and education is cade's the public channel. so on
