2:02 pm
president joe biden has insisted the u. s. will continue to cool for a full accounting on the death of al jazeera sharina. barclay, president biden was speaking as a press conference with his palestinian counterpart, mahmoud abbas in bethlehem. the out is there, a correspond was shot in the hand by israeli forces than may while reporting on raids in the occupied west bank. it's hard wrenching with so many prostrate israelis have lost their live just this year in united states to suffer loss as well included. the killing of charade are blue. ok are kaylee. and she was an american american citizen and a proud palestinian. and she was performing very vital work and an independent media and vital work of democracy. her death is enormous loss to the essential work
2:03 pm
of sharing with the world, the story, the palestinian people. i hope that her legacy her legacy will inspire more young people to carry on her work of reporting the truth and telling stories that are too often overlooked. the united states will continue to insist on a full and transparent accounting of her death and will continue to stand up for media freedom everywhere in the world. while as bought and wrapped up as visits at augusta victoria hospital, he had an exchange with one of the hospitals staff. if you have a question about hospitals, man, sure you don't, i'll do it privately. i am american really theme in the just the visiting policy and i vote for legal i am a head mirror for 50 intensive care unit at the more profit hosts pip. thank you'll probably have or what we need more justice, more dignity and thank you. thank you. thank you folks who shared very,
2:04 pm
very much thank you or joining me now here in the senior is out there a senior political analyst, my one becerra moran. it was quite an interesting press conference or let's start with what president biden had to say about serena barclay. he said that u. s. insists on full accountability over our colleague are slain journalist out, is there a reporter? many we even wondering if he would even mention her in the speech? well, he did, but do you think what he had to say will satisfy her family? her supporters probably not. and i think for the simple reason and here i think i'm going to, i'm going to try to be fair to our present biden's speechwriters. because clearly there's an intention here to hit all the right notes. and he did in his speech including on sharon barclay. the thing is you just feel like frustrated listening
2:05 pm
to by them because he's such a sweet talker. he says all the right things. but he doesn't measure all the important things either. and he doesn't show how those things will happen because i could be making that speech. i am r y b shadow could making a speech about palestinian rides, importance, dignity there's under. but he's the american president, he's not an artist, right? he's not a just a speech maker, he's a decision maker. and he is the patron of this faith called the state of israel that occupies the palestinian people. so when he is the american president and an american journalist was killed, certainly he needs more accountability on the part of a foreign army, a client state of the united states. and when he supports a country to the turn of $250000000000.00, he needs accountability about this country occupying another people for over 50 years. so does that, does not come through in the speech. it's a sweet speech,
2:06 pm
but it's almost useless in the, in the sense that it falls short in the important things that the palestinian people want to hear. like there to stay insulation. i mean he react, he reiterates at his support for that. but again, he went on to say the ground is not right to restart israel palestinian talks again, we've got a positive with a negative. absolutely. and, and here you go. this is a very important note. because the 1st time i heard an american president speak of the 2 state solution vision was 20 years ago. 2002, but as an bush meadow international roadmap for peace and spoke of a vision of a to so solution. since then, it's been 20 years and now we're staying the ground is not ripe. 20 years later that ron does not ripe, and thus we talk in the united states of america and its relationship with a small client state called israel. that is fully dependent on the united states
2:07 pm
for its security and existence and occupations on so forth. so yes, he goes to visit with ben thing, but it feels like it for short on the and then and then what and why? the person. okay. he speaks with palestinian dignity, but once he leaves, the palestinians will still have to go through the checkpoints would still have to live in this horrific, systematic and structural violence called the israeli occupation. when he leaves, israel is going to announce israel will mark my words. israel will announce the building of 4000 illegal settlement units. so what he speaks to so solution is that is expanding its cancerous the legal activities and occupied cases. let's talk about the responsibility of the palestinian president here, martin bass. we had his speech as well. i and it's interesting because i've heard
2:08 pm
you talk about both these men about their age and how perhaps they're both stuck in the past and to some extent mean the palestinian president son have questioned his relevancy. what do you think he should be doing or asking for in the situation? yes, i mean i, as i said we, i mean, i'm an older person. we respect old people, or we love old people. we love all grandpas and grandmas and granny's. but in that case, it's not just a question of a 79 year old and, and 87 year olds, really in a walk. slowly talking, slowly thinking slowly i would say. and if no one's looking at them saying, look, they are too old to be present the united states and oppress under the policy, no authority, a majority of the palestinians and a majority of americans think so that by then should not present himself again. and neither should, but that's not my question with them. my question was them how come they are stuck in the past? they have not just old fashion, the old school. so i, someone who's
2:09 pm
a student of american israeli relations, i tell you biden does not seem to realize that the democratic party in the united states has moved on on the question of israel is moving on that, that the base in the democratic party in the united states does not think that we, he's thinking about, we need to express even more love, even more gratitute israel, when we are the patrons of this client states, right? something with present that bus, but that bus stuck with his aunt passed. he's the one who initiated the piece process some 29 years ago and back in 1993 he. he was the architect of the ostler process. but 30 years later, the austell process let to nowhere it led to apartheid. but president bass would not take up his responsibility of leading to this apartheid system to the increase of illegal set settlements for some critical 3 of a quarter 1000000. so instead of admitting his mistake, looking at his past failures, he is stuck in that logic of 191919931 the peace process. he still speaks about
2:10 pm
that piece process or his own vision. i would quote a delusion of a 2 step solution coming out of a piece process out of an adverb initiative that all it's fortner's, including the israelis, the soldiers and the americans have basically abandons talking of saudi arabia. that's where president biden heads next. do you think that was the crux of this entire trip? that was the destination he wanted to get to? absolutely, and you know, again for american present who stuck in the past, it almost seems like he needs israel's permission. is there as a blessing to go to saudi arabia, especially he needs that he thinks not justified in the united states, because he thinks america has influence. it has influence in them are in the united states and in american media. i think he thinks that i don't necessarily things up, but i think he thinks there's
2:11 pm
a strong israeli lobby that could help him sell his visit to saudi arabia. action fact, if you look at all the commentators, all of a sudden they're all very forgiving about the so you can and all of my house, if you about the saw the violation of human rights. because he's going to is read it in order to, once again, you know, she moves these reality. there's about how wonderful the, how great our lives on. but yes, the sodium visit is the important part of it because that's what could or could not serve american national interest. israel does not serve american national interest . so the idea good golf security good is american golf allies and out of allies could at this point to thought in conjunction with is read according to biden. so loading all price, this is important because in the security is key to his administration, to the question of inflation on somewhat, but also confronting russia and china as he put it, confronting russia and china in the middle east. the flyers to rebuild arises,
2:12 pm
relax with alexis. so during the age of even iraq and others, certainly with israel school operation on security council and so forth. in order to confront iran that has become apply and space in as far as america's concern off china and russia. so i think we are building up towards a new cold war and as president by them said, i need to be there. we need to bring america has influence back to them at these he reckons that he's trying to make america foreign policy. great, again, i disagree. i think we're going to go back to the old disasters that lead us to the 911 that did us to the gold to the gulf war one and gulf war 2. because america's past policies were not great. returning through the past will not be great either america and them at least need something new. and i don't see that coming and district my ron bizarre, i'll just say or a senior political analysts. thank you. let's go to our correspondence needed
2:13 pm
abraham, who has lived for us in bethlehem, anita so we've just had from the president bite. and then he spoke about the death of serene a block. me i wonder what the reaction has been to what he had to say. well for palestinian they are wary of using the word death. it's killing and we know who killed her as far as paulson is concerned. so yes, president why didn't mention to her? although he is some baldwin, us, us one to have it as transparent and cool investigation. but it's saying here is a lip service and we've seen already from the u. s. s. statements on july ford. basically using fluid terminal to do when it comes to the involvement of the forces incoming city. allison is 1000000. do not expect that justice will be served
2:14 pm
from the you well, but they're not going to self demanding justice and accountability for those who killed shooting off land. this is why we've seen the journalist sending the press conference wearing this shirt. the hatch and fixture has just the for sure we as well as a picture that was on a chair facing by then. but her picture was there. it was written in the voice of palestine. and i was looking at by making sure to make eye contact to make him see, i'm sure it's hard to miss her presence in the room. she might not be with us. she should have been here reporting that she's here in spirit. and her friends are calling are still demanding and quite thing for just need a president bud and also spoke about improving the quality of life of palestinian.
2:15 pm
now at this moment in time, took us through the relevant announcements. he made a couple of announcements about how much the u. s. is going to spend with the palestinian people. is that the kind of thing that they wanted to hear, but they satisfied by that? well the palestinian authority was hopeful when by dint power and his trump trump has been has had a very good relationship with the previous is really prime minister bunch of that he has given him one gift after another including moving b, u. s embassy from deliveries to jerusalem. so that a city is we're hopeful that the, by the administration would at least we open the u. s. consulate in jerusalem. but as many officials, as we've been speaking to officer the breast, some friends, they say that their medical position is good when it comes to that,
2:16 pm
just a solution that i do 67 borders. but when you talk to palestinians, they would tell you that they've waited for decades and decades, and they are still living under is really occupation. and here comes by then. now talking about political move, not talking about reopening the pianos offices in washington, i was talking about handouts, talking about $100000000.00 to the hospitals and occupied these through them. and as well as other pledges are also talking about poor g internet services. reopening the bridge, the only exits to the palestinians to the outside words, the bridge via jordan. that usually closes early on. we can close is also a certain time during the day we've been hearing very difficult stories from dallas and trying to travel lately abroad and coming back home that the humiliation of the long waiting hours of the bridge. so yes, we palestinians would tell you we are looking to advance our lives, what
2:17 pm
a better life would only start with a path that would lead to the end of these really occupation needed for him that for us in bethlehem, while on the next yards biden will travel to a controversial summit in saudi arabia. top of the agenda, we'll be getting saudi arabia. it's a pump more oil to bring down global oil prices. the kingdom is the world's largest exposure of crude producing about 12000000 barrels a day in his meeting with saudi need is bought. and it was also expected to discuss iran and efforts to prevent a wrong from acquiring nuclear weapons that were part of a wider drive for greater security cooperation. audit is what's expected to make the pitch to regional need. is that a gulf cooperation council meeting in jetta? which takes place on saturday or joining me again here on set is our white house
2:18 pm
correspond, kimmy hawk it. so kimberly, we finally reached the real crux of the trip. don't we? he is now heading to saudi arabia where he is hoping for some magic disney. yeah, that's right. well 1st of all, the u. s. president is hoping to make history by i'm leaving ben gory an airport in israel. he'll be the 1st u. s. president to make that flight on air force one to jetta directly. so this is significant and the president has been anxious to do that, but when he lands, he is going to have a bit of a ceremony, a welcoming ceremony. and everyone's going to be watching very carefully as the president does. this, the real crux of the visit is about oil prices and getting the saudi king to pump more oil. but what americans are really going to be watching is how he is received by the saudi kingdom. specifically, will there be a handshake with the saudi crown prince? we do know that in fact, that the king will meet with the u. s. president for about 30 minutes,
2:19 pm
and then we know that there is going to be more of us sit down, that's going to be extended with the saudi crown prince. and why is this significant? well, of recently you, us media is focused on this is because the intelligence report by the cia back in the united states has suggested that the saudi crown prince may have ordered the killing of the washing to post journalist jamal cas shoji, back in 2018. and so of the u. s. president on the campaign trail promised to make the saudi kingdom a prior state. and now he is going to saudi arabia to get them to pump more oil. because the cost of gas in the united states or gasoline are petrol, is very high, and he needs to lower those prices. the way to do it is to increase supply and he needs the saudis to do that. and so as a result, this is controversial. so we're watching to see how he's received. will there be a handshake or spunk orifice, fuss? it's all going to be scrutinized very closely. a lot of interest in the u. s. yeah,
2:20 pm
i've been tell us a bit more about that because when we've been talking earlier you've, you've said that the national papers in the u. s. have not really been paying attention to this trip asshole, but perhaps now with the saudi visit, they will be looking at it a bit more closely. why is this not a priority? it hasn't been a priority because americans are struggling. and in many ways they're, they're not an only angry at the u. s. president because they're struggling. they're also angry that they feel he's absent as they are struggling. so imagine this, the, there are dealing with 41 year highs in terms of inflation. 9 point one percent is higher than even the government expected. and that is translating to high prices and food, rent and fuel costs. and then imagine that your president is not there to deal with it so it doesn't look good. and so the president is not getting the headlines that he wants. in fact, just the opposite. i,
2:21 pm
if he is able to convince the saudis to pump more oil and bring down these gas prices, that would be a much needed when, politically, for the present. he does have congressional elections looming in november. he could use this boost because also mentioned his approval ratings. are very low right now . he could get a little bit of a boost from this, but at the same time, not many americans are watching. they're pretty focused on their own situation right now. so he struggling. okay, thank you for that. kennedy hell cut that for us our white house correspondent sure lank, his prime minister renelle victim a single husband sworn in as acting president after go to buy a raja pox. resigned in the wake of mass protests against the state of the economy . while the new president has promised to restore law and order and establish a unity government that them will hold the post until a successor to roger boxer is elected. the process will start when parliament convenes on saturday. okay, let's take
2:22 pm
a closer look at ronald vicar missing his political past. he comes from one of swank as a lead families and leave the oldest political party. and since 993 served as prime minister 6 times. but as not survived for full term, even once the 73 old was involved last month in talks with the i m f for a bailout package for sure. lanka on a new budget. amid a spiraling economic crisis spot, he remains deeply unpopular among protesters. hundreds of them fought with security forces and occupied his office on wednesday lab and i thought the i look in part in the short time i have i will create the background for the new president who is to be elected next week to bring the 19th amendment to the constitution quickly, i will take immediate steps to establish the rule of law and peace in the country. i accept 100 percent the right to peaceful protests, but some are trying to do active, sabotaged. there are reports that other groups are trying to influence members of
2:23 pm
parliament at the vote next week to elect a new president. we will create the environment for parliamentarians to express their view. independent. tens of thousands of iraqis have gathered in baghdad for a mass prayer called by influential shia cleric looked out. oh, i thought it was sparking fears, a father instability last month. more than 70 members of parliament affiliated to all father resigned on its orders. deepening number of political deadlock, i made up, the heat is across the story for off. as you can see here in the background, these are tens of thousands of supporters of the she or clinic. and political leader looked at us suddenly. they have gathered from civil conferences across iraq, here to a saw that a city in about that to perform a congregation mass prayers. this is upon request from look to the southern himself, has been calling on his followers and supporters across iraq to come to baghdad to perform this congregation at mazda tribes. now,

2:25 pm
so that looked at us so that as a political and religious leader has many people backing him in iraq. and if he's moving on in his fight against what they call, can corruption an injustice. then he has got a lot of supporters on the ground. the united states is the biggest single donor to ukraine, and it's fine to hold off the russian invasion. it has given more than $7000000000.00 worth of weapons and equipment so far. but the ukraine, the tiny donations are almost as valuable as the big ones. allen fisher reports from keith equipment on the front line of the ukrainian war drones medical kits. even mine detectors all provided by crowd funding charity in ukraine, set up after the russian invasion of crimea in 2014 has raised millions of dollars, the founder of former high profile presenter on ukrainian t. v to where
