5:01 pm
ah, us president joe biden signs a declaration with israel aimed at preventing a run from acquiring nuclear weapons. ah, i'm robinson, this is your life. and also coming up, sir lincoln, president goes to buy a pack. sad reportedly arrives in singapore from them all. these lots are feeding his country in the face of angry protests and anger explodes over fuel shortages in haiti. of gang violence brings the capital to a halt and a prolonged heat wave across much of southern europe. parts of italy in spain are suffering severe, drummed ah, us president joe biden and israeli prime minister. yeah. de la pete have signed a non binding declaration to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. biden
5:02 pm
says it's vital to world security to ensure yvonne never has such a nuclear weapon. it's biden's 2nd day in israel and his 1st trip to the middle east as president. today, you and i also discussed, emerge amendment to ensuring around never obtains a nuclear weapon. this is a vital security interest of israel in the united states and i would add for the rest of the world as well. i continue to believe that diplomacy is the best way to achieve this outcome and will continue to work or israel to counter other threats from iran throughout the region. including support for terrorism, ballistic missile program continues and the plug ration of weapons to terrorists and proxies. mike has blah, joe biden is going to meet palestinian president mahmoud abbas, and the occupied westbank on friday, stephanie deckers in western whistle, him with more on that visit. even the americans have stipulated and made it very
5:03 pm
clear they use the same words and language has been used for a long time, perhaps not with the trump administration. that is the only way forward is a 2 state solution present biden. there did make reference in the press conference, he said, equal rights for all he mentioned equal freedom of movement for all what i think we're very, a very, very long way away from seeing those things become a reality. there will be economic incentives tomorrow, a package we expect around a $100000000.00 by the americans fledged to palestinians. hospitals in occupied his true, surveyed awesome of the gulf states to equal that a that amount to hospitals occupied east jerusalem. but he doesn't bring anything to the table diplomatically. also, you know, things like the breakdown, entrust when it comes to the killing, particularly of our colleague shitty and walker as well. the america pressurizing, the palestinians to hand over the bullet. they wanted to put this to bed ahead of this meeting. they then said, well, israel did investigate the bullets, something to palestinians. americans not to allow it was found inconclusive. the americans then said, well, it looks like the israelis did do it,
5:04 pm
but not on purpose. and these are tragic circumstances, no calls for accountability, which is something that the family maintains wants and demands. so yes, i don't think these are great relations at the moment, certainly. and i don't think the policies are expecting anything from joe biden when he does meet with president mahmoud abbas tomorrow in bethlehem. which on him and are here until has our white house correspondent kimberly hall, could the impression that one get so far of this visit and i know you've been listening across her. everything that's been going on is that the really doesn't appear to be anything significant. have you been hearing anything new or is it more of the same press conference between the u. s. president to as well as the caretaker prime minister, yar lip? he'd of israel, really everything that they talked about, we expected going in whether it was on the issue of iran, saying that iran not have a nuclear weapon, that it was
5:05 pm
a destabilizing force in the region. or whether it was the president saying that he is committed to a 2 state solution when it comes to israel and palestine, but that he doesn't see it in the near term. there really was nothing new in this press conference. in fact, what was so glaring as what was not mentioned, and that is the fact that none of the journalists brought up the issue of the killing of our own journalists to sharina acclaim. the fact that she is a us citizen, that there have been multiple investigations into her death and that there have been fingers pointed at these railey government. the fact that the president is standing next to an israeli government official. and yet there was no discussion about that was, is simply astounding. and that really seem to be almost the elephant in the room. yet none of the journalist brought this up. and so i certainly was striking that that was not one of the questions that was discussed. instead,
5:06 pm
it was the same lines that had been repeated. and really there were no new sort of pieces of information. it was very much predictable press conference. if you could even call it a press conference, because when there was the issue of human rights that was brought up, one of the reporters, steve holland, from reuters, brought up the issue of human rights. and when he attempted to bring up a follow up question, the moderator actually shut him down. so it was very much a controlled situation. there were 2 questions on each side from the israeli media and from the american media. and that was about it that's, that's hardly a press conference. it was really just issued statements that seem to be prepared. and again, nothing really new to come out of these statements that we didn't already know. on friday jer, barden has her form to jetta and saudi arabia and wonders, the feeling that is, is the main focus of this trip. of course,
5:07 pm
there are significant domestic issues. the barden has to deal with. how is this entire trip playing out in the us? there's no question that when it comes to planning this trip, that the focus has been on saudi arabia and one cannot go to saudi arabia when you're the u. s. president without also going to israel. so in many ways, this is almost been an after thought, at least the way it has been covered in the u. s. media, it's almost like the u. s. media journalists have been anxious to get to saudi arabia because that's the issue that the american public is focused on. and the reason that the u. s. president is going to meet with the saudi kingdom is that he's trying to encourage them to pump more oil. bring down gas prices because gas prices are sky high in the united states right now. and that is contributing to record high inflation and that has americans furious with the american president. and as a result,
5:08 pm
not only are don or rather joe patton's approval ratings are almost at the bottom of what he seen in his presidency. but also we've got record high and inflation in the united states. and it's not just in when it comes to fuel costs, it's also in the cost of food and in the cost of housing, whether it's renter and mortgage rates. and so as a result, this is a precedent that's under a lot of pressure. he needs good headlines, he needs a foreign policy when, if you will, but no one in the united states is really paying attention to what the president is doing right now in the middle east because they're so focused on what we call these kitchen table issues. and that is really just trying to make it and trying to put food on the table and at the u. s. president is not benefiting from the fact that americans to start paying attention to what he's doing right now. that's or why does corresponding, kimberly, hawker, kimberly, thank you very much indeed. well, as kimberly was talking about many palestinians want the u. s. president to demand accountability for israel's killing of al jazeera journalist shooting of laughlin in may,
5:09 pm
john homeowner poach walker park east jerusalem. this is the grades of serene abu accolade, the palestinian american journalist, who worked for out 0. this cemetery was full of people for her funeral. this may, after she was shot in the occupied west bank. ah, she was famous already, but for a lot of palestinians had there in body, but they lived through the possibility that they could be killed by israeli forces with little follow up for accountability. and now that's become a phony she for president biden. as he visits the region and his administration launched an investigation into a death, but concluded that even though the bullet was likely fired by the israeli military, it was without intention to kill her. now abu at cleese families have killed a whitewash. she was wearing a blue helmet and best mart press when she was shot. they've asked to meet president biden on this trip where those concerns the latest is that that's not
5:10 pm
gonna happen. instead, they've been offered a visit to washington at some point. that's not going to stop the questions coming up, president biden, especially when on friday he travels to the occupied west bank and on the route there actually own the separation wall that has gone up a mule of serene abu, actually to remind him and every one else of her presence here, a presence that is still overshadowing this trip shall anchors president has flown to singapore. from them all leaves go to bio roger pox up promised to formerly resign after fleeing the country on wet and safe protest was wanting to step aside along with the prime minister and acting president of annual wicked. i'm a singer, a curfews in place after thousands to the students of the capital, colombo and stormed government buildings. or michelle fernandez is joining us now from columbus to we don't know any more about what's happening with president gotta buy a raj,
5:11 pm
a pack. so literally in the last 15 or 20 minutes, there was a news flash on one of the local t v stations that said, present go, toby, roger fox's resignation letter had been received by the speaker. it did cause a flurry of excitement. i'm here go to go village outside the president's office and there was firecrackers. people started reacting, but ah, my sources at the speakers office have told me just the last 10 minutes. oh the when i spoke to them that the letter is still not with the speaker. they have been given indications that it is about to arrive any moment now, but the letter hasn't actually been received. so still that is no resignation letter. even when that resignation letter comes through, it will have to go through a very stringent verification process. is what the speaker's office says. that will involve ensuring and making sure that it is what it purports to be. the original
5:12 pm
resignation document of resident go top, a raj boxer. obviously a bit earlier in the day we heard that the president had flown from the motives to sing a pull. now there's been speculation over the last 2436 hours about the whereabouts of president go to albert, roger bucks a 1st with didn't she? lanka, there was a real wild goose chase as everybody sort of speculated where he was. he was trying to go out by sea than the international airport. and finally, the early hours of the morning yesterday. and he left on a military flight to the maldives, now he has left to sample. and we're hearing that the singapore and authorities have confirmed that the president is in the country on a private visit. now there's a curfew in place, and i know that you have been driving around colombo to fine to have a look and see what things are like the, especially in the light, of course. and the protests that machine over the last couple of days talk us
5:13 pm
through what your pc earlier on in the day if things were relatively quiet. i mean the streets were not so crowded. there is a curfew, but there are almost indications in times that people are really not respecting the coffee. they're going about their business. obviously, businesses themselves on their knees. they can't afford to stay close to quite a few businesses staying open. but here at the protest ground 0, you can probably hear all the sort of speeches and some of the sound from behind. adjusting the last half an hour, 45 minutes. we've had a couple of 100 people gather in a lot of those speeches. still sort of reacting to that news alert that the resignation has come. so a lot of a sort of silly brain tree kind of speeches, but by far and large there's no sort of strict curfew, even though we were told that it was imposed to tomorrow morning. so people are going on with things. a one concern is that we were told that outside the
5:14 pm
presidential secretariat for a few hours has been a number of buses full of military personnel on some with right. yes, some with battens. and that's a bit of a concern as to whether, you know, they might be deployed in this protest area. that's been off an honors talking to us from colombo manella. thank you very much. indeed. still had an al jazeera, a power struggle, and levia to control the state oil company after its chairman was sacked by the prime minister report from ukraine. what a child is among the dead in the latest russian air strikes? ah, if in some remarkably heavy dime, pause in the last few days in the eastern side of indonesia and has more to come. now this is rather more extreme than you might expect and it's persistent. so from
5:15 pm
silhouette, the east was to west papua these islands. here really are at risk as a lesser risk, but still likely to have a big down pause in the philippines and what a to is shown elsewhere. for example, rand jakarta, but the persistent season rainy's rather more normally cambodia, thailand or b and more than knows about it's been abnormal change driven, stopped dramatically quickly in southern china and jumped north miss be enhanced here. so that means that shanghai west was got this area along the yanks. he has been suffering from really high temperatures and in shanghai in particular, very high. he meant to be broken. record is very uncomfortable, i'm sure. sees no rain is doing this. it's looping around through shanghai and coming up through japan. japan's at risk of flooding from this china again, although you've got a couple of days off in the korean peninsula where it has been pretty wet recently . now back to what we are, all the rather more used to which is the monsoon rains in india. the forecast probably good, jarrett and may be southern pakistan,

5:19 pm
i should say. so well known now between now and next wednesday when we should have got it down to 2 names. basically every day when somebody's been knocked out, where did the, where do the supporting votes go to? i'm not really is causing a lot of uncertainty right now. there are many members of parliament from the conservative party who are what they call anyone, but sumac, because he is seen as somebody who is willing to well, who is not fiscally conservative in their eyes over spending since the, the pandemic. so lots to play for. we think that it will be next wednesday now before the 2 names are known, which will go to the wider party membership to install a new leader by early september. like, sorry, not even bother in london. russian airstrikes killed at the 17 people, including a child in central ukraine. dozens of people were injured in the attack in the city of vincent. lydia,

5:21 pm
the russians are targeting civilian areas because these are incredibly accurate missiles. in fact, normally they don't stray much beyond 4 meters from their intended target. and so we're hearing as well from the foreign minister of ukraine who is, again reiterate to the cause to set up an independent judicial tribunal to investigate alleged war crimes by the russians. in ukraine, he said this wouldn't impact the likes of the international criminal court or other tribunals. they would work hand in glove with them. and the intention is that they would share any information they got, and they will point to the incident we've seen in the last couple of hours as an example of war crimes. as for the russians, while the russian simply continue to insist that they do not commit war crimes as they continue what they call their special military operation in ukraine. out, fisher talking to us from keep out and thank you very much indeed to it has done in
