order taken out of the hotel, this was germany. we loved it when it was built and we loved it even when it was bombed. a major target of the conflict in northern ireland in the late 20th century belfast europa war hotels on al jazeera. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, al jazeera with down to the pit,

ah, after a fis belt that provoked outreach, he was president joe biden says he raised murder, a journalist, jamal shockey, and talks with saudi arabia's crump, prince restriction to murder cour, shogi. i raises at the top of the meeting, making it clear what i thought of it the time. now when i think of it now, ah, hi there, i'm kimbell. this is al jazeera calling from dell ha. also coming up for lancaster, you enter in president ronald, became a singer vows to establish the world of all protested demanding a political overhauled nations big and small help ukraine. crowd fund its war effort against russia and parts of europe swelter under a searing summer heat. white stocking wildfires on prompting evacuations.

ah, as a candidates he pledged to make saudi arabia a pariah. now his 1st visit to the kingdom is u. s. president. so we bought it is trying to reset relations and a push for more oil. i'd and says he confronted saudi crown. prince mom had been feldman of the motor of jealous jamal cuz she had raised the issue of human rights . it was the 1st encounter for the 2 which began with a fist pump. jetta, a white house correspondents, kimberly helga us. president joe biden arrived in saudi arabia to a subdued reception that may have been because of his past comments about the kingdom. we run in fact make them pay the price and make them, in fact, the pariah that they are applied. she made as a presidential candidate after a c. i a report suggested the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon may have

ordered the 2018 killing of journalists, shemelle could, shall g. the president's goal is to reset relations and convinced the kingdom to pump more oil to bring down fuel prices in the united states. i'm doing all i can to increased supply for the united states of america, which i expect to happen. but strain ties have made that a challenge, evident is biting. arrived at the saudi palace, offering the crown prince just a fist bump. a moment not well receive back in the united states, cuz shock geez, publisher, fred ryan, of the washington post, calling it shameful. delivering m b as the redemption he was desperately seeking. and kashodi is fiance warning biden, that the blood of any future victim will be on his hands. i'm sorry, she feels our way i was straight forward back then. i was straight forward today.

basically said that he was not personally responsible for. i was earlier biden's meeting with the crown prince. the press confronted both men drove off with the response of the crown prince. he appeared to smirk a serious question left unanswered with reporters. then i should out. kimberly help hit al jazeera and it's big now to daniel alpha who is the director of golf international form. and electra at georgetown university. she joins us live from washington, d. c. thank you so much for your time. so present biden. as we heard, there has been slammed for meeting the crown prince. mom had been solomon. what did

you make all present? biden's statement afterwards. was this damage control? yes, i'm certainly he tried to to integrate some damage control and his remarks. but i think, you know, he didn't say it directly, but i think his underlying point is that, you know, he wants to serve you s interests as he defines them and the state department defines them and that, that is more important or chumps other issues such as human rights, how do you think the saudis will be viewing biden's aims wanting more oil production? and they're concerned about about russia and china. how much leverage does the us really have their well, from the perception of saudi arabia and generally the gulf cooperation council states. they view the us to have lost interest and kind of withdrawing

from the region. now here in washington, many officials deny that. and so they have been in the last decade been diversifying their alliances, both regionally and internationally. and part of that is diversifying their alliances with great powers, such as china and russia. how do you think the, the biden administration will be viewing this visit? was it a success this father is they were consent? i think the by going to ministration would probably view it as a success if there's going to be some tangible changes in gas prices as a result of it. i think this is a very important issue for the his administration and particularly the democratic party because they are looking to win the midterm elections that are upcoming

and inflation and gas prices are key issues for voters. president biden also briefly met with the palestinian president. does saudi arabia care that so little seems to be offered right now to the palestinians. i think the saudi arabia is more concerned with it's security itself encountering iran. and it seems to be that a counting iran is more important to them than the palestinian issue. they, they considered the iran issued to be a national security priority. just finally, i want to talk a little bit about president biden's just general reception in saudi arabia. how

would you say he was received compared to his predecessor, president trump? well, it's no secret that president trump got much more of an inviting a ceremony when he arrived to react. and that didn't happen with bite. and which isn't surprising because i think that with my haven't been said mom as kind of relatively new leadership in saudi arabia. the relations haven't really been a country to country relations. it has been very personal listing, and trump made that relationship very personal. and president biden also made it personal with his campaign statements. and so this kind of affected the way the both sides interact with each other. but i still think both parties have

strong interests and we'll try to keep their relations moving forward. all right, i thank you very much, your time done. if i for the director of golf international form, thank you very much. can which i bought him was the 1st american present to fly directly from israel to saudi arabia. as i mentioned earlier, he met with the palestinian president, behold abbas and bethlehem. he reiterated us support for 2 state solution, but said the time was not right to try and restart a piece process with these ratings it. abraham has more better humanitarian conditions and financial aid. those are u. s. president joe biden promises to palestinians in a 3 and a half hours visit to bethlehem in the south of the occupied westbank by did didn't bring any political initiatives to the table. he says the ground isn't suitable now to renal to the peace process, but as it urged palestinian not to lose hope in

a better future. arsenault states as a partner in this work to improve a day to day large the palace didn't people. that's why when i came to office our reserve of policy, i reversed the polish, is my predecessors and resumed age? the palestinians were the aide is not the only change in policy the palestinian authority wanted. and then on the law, we look forward to steps from the u. s. administration to strengthen bilateral relations by re opening the u. s. concert it used to jerusalem and removing the appeal low from the terrorist list. oh, i just need a shooting of alcohol. would have been covering this visit, but she's not. she was killed by israeli forces fired on me. the 11th. why lone assignment in genie. although no questions were allowed during the media conference, palestinian journalist spook without words, demanding justice for shitty. both presidents talked about turkey and vinny for accountability in united states to suffer loss is wrong,

including the killing of sharin abu, our care, our caly. and she was an american american citizen, and a proud palestinian. and she was performing very vital work and independent media. and vital work of democracy, how tight the conference palestinians also reminded by that of shitty art. this thought a you dean sabatini painted the mural for sitting on the israeli bit separation wall, cutting bethlehem from jerusalem. an image that would have been difficult her bite to miss. oh, if you kilometers away from that carpet the reception and the presidential compound in bethlehem. palestinians protested against his visit. we don't want your crumbs. they chanted. oh, i didn't concluded his visit at the nativity church of bethlehem before heading to

saudi arabia. why has pledged to ensure palestinians have a better quality of life? but as long as they're being killed without accountability and their lands are confiscated, they say that's unlikely. the only way to improve the living conditions they say is by ending the decades long israeli occupation. deborah, him in front of the nativity church bethlehem. the occupied westbank, milan and i saw he is a former executive committee member of the palestine liberation organization. she says bind and didn't offer any solutions for palestine. ricky, paying lip service to the 2 states. anderson so called to speak to someone standing aside and unable to continue to destroy it. building more supplements, stealing an action, violating international law. and then this, you know, we are, for the solution we've done are not going to get the issue is not actually what are they doing. and of course,

we keep reminding people that to spend solution is a major come to mind. and if a confession by the palestinian people to accept it's not a consent signed where they are based on lisbon one inclusive. i'm sick that in that sense is want to maintain that state and the u. s. wants to maintain security, iron commitment and as a jewish state. and since the president declared themselves, then it is very clear that the many different of the implement any of the statements given and that she has a bourbon. blessed people, i think you know, we can talk again that i can give you a few handouts that you're going to be through. you might be able to move with

larger and yeah, i'm on your my for g, which has been promised for a couple of years ago. so use goods. israel's military says that at least 2 rockets were fired from garza of the southern city of us cologne. this video shows one of the rockets which official say was intercepted by the israeli defense system or the dome, the other hidden empty area. no injuries have been reporters. still head on al jazeera, a red alert. the child health un sells the alarm over a massive global drop in childhood, vaccinations, and china as president makes a rare visit to saint john 1st since the crackdown on week is ah color that we've seen some live shows pushing out of for central parts of the u. s

singapore after fleeing on wednesday. or protest is one particular thing. it's a go to stay fossil reports from colombo. instead of celebrating good up, i had your breakfast resignation. many sri lankan spent and not a day queuing for fuel. only a few expressed a relief since leaving on wednesday 1st with a more beefs and then to sing. poor jap box had kept the country in a political limbo that again i did. but the good i have received the letter of resignation, vice president via article the president is legally designs on his post. on july 14, 2022. from now, the process of collecting a new president will come in until that process is completed. the payment is to be appointed to carry out the functions and duties stipulated in the constitution. all of us. i mean, we are missing, it immediately announced he would restore law and order. after a month of political turmoil and demonstrations. give me idea. i accept 100 percent

to the right to peaceful protests. some are trying to do sabotaged. there are reports that other groups are trying to influence members of parliament at the vote next week to elect a new president. we will create the environment for parliamentarians to express their view independently. less than a week ago, thousands of protesters had stormed and occupied. the leaders, residences, and offices, accusing them of forcing 3 long got into bankruptcy. after the president left, the crowds had to become a single office, demanding his resignation. they were sprayed with d, a gas people bob was offered to push the departure to leave the country. but when it came to whitewash this whole thing. so, and he came for 3 months, the situation became bad, bad, bad the worst. it could go, prices and people are dying in the cues. so he's directly responsible. so need to do a lot, spend 3 days waiting for fuel. but i'm very happy about roger boxes resignation,

but i don't think the mix president will be any better. i think whoever this person is, we're still standing in cute. i've been living here for 3 d. m, and my mother just brought some food. and he is not the only one a 1000000 had been waiting for resignation. it seems like many i'm getting now. ready. not a structural change in many out there in the acting residents can open an approach thing. you have to run in columbia, helen, cause i gamma is a senior electra at the university of south not ins for lanka. he says that will be further instability if it came as thing that continues as president. this is going to be completely unacceptable, not just to the protesters, but the entire country, ronald grimacing. i was completely defeated in the last election. he could not even with his own volume rent receipt. and the party that he led,

which had rule the country for many decades, was reduced from one seat, a proportionate presentation of seat to which he came into parliament. so there's likely to be another wave of protests. and not only that, a backlash against the liberals, he represents if he is made president, but he seems determined to hook or crook to become president. so as soon as he became acting a president, he has legitimized the military. he has even brought the board of investments and other independent bodies under the military as a way because he has no political base. he has no social base and is now relying on the military, which is very dangerous in terms of what that might mean for the participation went to freedom in this country. so on july 20, unless better business prevails on the poly meant to keep the model we might be looking at for the political instead of the t going forward. chinese president
