4:00 pm
ah, lou lou ah, wherever you go in the world, one airline goes to make it feel exceptional. katara always going places to get control of the narrative, shapes the landscape. that's fairly unquote to the pol good. those images front of mind is a war for very much bring forth out in the media as well as on the battlefield. the listening pe. dissect the media on algebra. ah, this is al jazeera.
4:01 pm
ah, hello, i'm the bulkhead. this is the news. our life from dough are coming up in the next 60 minutes. president joe biden tells middle east leaders the us won't abandon the region to china, russia or iraq. united states is going to remain active, engage partner in the middle east. after months of mass demonstrations trelin because parliament begins the process of choosing a new president. policy of europe swelter under a searing heat wave, sparking wildfires, prompting evacuations, and in school africa as fast as men overcome the odds to advance at the wall dietetics championship. these up robbins at men, kenya ferdinand amanela, arrived in oregon just hours that before he is 100 meters. he's
4:02 pm
ah, welcome to the news a u. s. president joe biden has laid out his strategy for the middle east at a summit of gulf leaders and other regional heads of state. addressing the meeting in saudi arabia abide and said the u. s. would not walk away from the region. and he said his country remains committed to ensuring iran never gets a nuclear weapon. let me stay clearly at the united states is going to remain in active, engage, partner in the middle east. as a world grows more competitive and the challenges we face more complex zone, becoming clear to me that how closely interwoven america's interest are with the successes. in the least. we will not walk away and leave a vacuum to be filled by china, russia. we're will seek to build on this moment with active principle american leadership. what are the re, along we call upon iran as
4:03 pm
a neighboring country with whom we share religious and cultural ties to cooperate with the countries of the region. in order to be part of this vision by it hearing international law, not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries and cooperating with the international atomic energy agency and fulfilling its obligations in this regard. which order me now here in the cdo as our, as our senior political analyst, my one be, show a mo, an nurse, we start with them. what so j biden's been saying, what do you think he felt the need to say that the u. s. was not going to abandon the region, because there's been a sense, at least since the u. s. withdrew from afghanistan. and some of the administration officials have been making clear that they're going to be focusing more on russia and china. rather than on, on deploying troops to them, at least, that created a lot of anxiety among many of america's allies, notably those sitting there and the summit. and hence, it was important for the american president to make clear that america is not going
4:04 pm
anywhere. if anything, america is truly is true, is a re prioritizing. but if anything, was dawn from afghanistan would free more resources for the gulf region in the middle east. let's not forget, of course. so what sir biden's called saudi arabia in the past is called a pariah state. nevertheless, he has gone there at a time in which the u. s. is looking to shore up it's supplies of energy. absolutely. so i think there is a national interest here. and by then it's not hiding it, he's making it very clear that he's there to sort of america national interest, even if it is at the expense at the expense of. busy human rights, whether it's human rights of so these are egyptians, palestinians, or whatever. but be that as it may, america comes 1st, america 1st, and hence, he is eager to re assert america and force in the region. reshape,
4:05 pm
old alliances with alexis, o, d, u, egypt, iraq, and so on, so forth. and make clear that america is re prioritizing, but it's one going anywhere. my theory is why he is getting some of his mission accomplished. what we're, what with what we're seeing slowly but surely is basically the evolving of a cold war in them, at least with iran, russia, and china. on the one hand, the united states showed you a, b, i would be egypt. and israel, on the other hand, one thing that also is dominate to the summit in general. so to do with the palestinian situation without a doubt, if the, if it's the elephant in the room, it's what unites, or gcc leaders along with our regional partners. and, but of course, you know, shortly after bite and left israel, there were these rocket attacks from garza. what sort of tone do you think biden's
4:06 pm
presence in the middle east has set? what sort of problems as it recognizes? look, i think during the summit we've seen the mirror of gutter, probably articulate the best possible position about double standard. and he's basically spoke about international law, international norms and international values. and he said, we need to be consistent the what the applications of these so called international values, laws and are and norms. and it couldn't be simply applied somewhere, but not applied elsewhere. it couldn't be applied to nuclear, but not a fight in palestine. so palestine became really came to live by all speakers in the summit today, but i think there may have got a what at the very clearly when he said, basically to the american president, we can't accept is earl expanding illegal jewish settlements instead of advancing peace settlement in palestine and i think their message to
4:07 pm
a lot of the presence there were, you know, the abraham records in the end of the day. they are not used as leverage against israel in order to pressure to bring a solution to palestine. if anything it is leaving the palestinians with very little hope that their occupation would be ending anytime soon. all right, now i'm bashar out as your senior political ellis. thank you for joining me here from ardo headquarters is our white house correspondent at kimberly. how kept staying with this story? kimberly, i mean, obviously an awful lot has be made of this fis pump between joe biden and master. mom had been solomon, but beyond that, do you think the president got what he wanted out of this trip? us right. a lot has been made about that fist bump and that is going to be a problem likely for the u. s. president when he returns to the united states because it was not well received. in fact,
4:08 pm
the u. s. president ended up having to do a little bit of damage control as a result, as say, in fact that he confronted the crown prince about the allegations, the suggestion, even by the cia that potentially he ordered the killing of the washington post journalist about his shows. you back in 2018 and as a result of there was a lot of condemnation about that fist bump, especially from the washington post publisher. given the fact that to jamaica shows he wrote for that a well known paper. so moving forward from that was a challenge for the president of it. still, he has tried to do that, as merwin is talking about their reasserting the united states role in the middle east. and the region is the priority for this president, but there's no question that those negative headlines are going to dog the president for some time. in fact, we've even had in just the last couple of hours,
4:09 pm
the sort of headlines of the crown prince himself kind of taking a swipe at the president. i in fact suggesting that the president really doesn't have the moral high ground reminding the president of some of the united states. his own mistake says he calls them reminding and digging up the sort of past a sort of bad headlines for the us with respect to the conflict in iraq, the us invasion of iraq. and of course the atrocities the u. s. committed is military prison in abu ghraib, and then more recently, of course, the killing of her own journalist, sri, an abu al clay, the fact that the u. s. president, at least in public, did not confront these railey government over that of murder. despite the fact that are killing rather despite the fact that the 2 investigations point to these rallies for potentially being responsible for her death. so this is uncomfortable for the u. s. president. he now has to go back. i. he said he came here to get the
4:10 pm
saudi government to pump more oil to hasn't secured that deal and he hasn't been able to lower the gas prices that americans would like him to do so it's going to be difficult for the president. right. yeah. and kimberly all my notes, i mean how my all of this play into domestic politics back home in the states. i had a midterms in november. yeah, that's the big problem for the president because americans are pretty unhappy with joe biden, and they weren't happy before. he made this trip and he didn't do anything to make it better as so it's hard to imagine that his poll numbers are going to go up and they were in need of that. do you compare him to donald trump and another sort of unpopular president and approval ratings are about the same? not much better, in fact, in the 30s, and that's the sort of the benchmark of really bottoming out in the united states. and that's not where you want to be when you have congressional elections in
4:11 pm
november. there's not a whole lot of time to turn things around. joe biden needed a when he didn't get one in terms of the foreign policy stage. and so he goes back to the united states now looking absent when americans are struggling with high inflation, high fuel costs high food prices, they're angry, their president and this president did nothing to improve that. kimberly many, thanks. kimberly how can our white house correspondent here in durrell for us? thanks. the u. s. president, travel to saudi arabia after visiting israel and the occupied territory. just hours after he left, the straight military carried out an asteroid called garza. the army says it hits a hamas talking to and weapons manufacturing site. it says at least 2 rockets were fired from garza over the southern. this really city of asked along one was intercepted by said friend, system humid outside has more. garza city calm has been re story day in these hours in the gaza strip. previously i on the early hours of dolan,

across spain and portugal where we have seen some very high temperatures, reco breaking heat here. that sir. warmth is going to continue driving its way further north is over the next few days because of this area of low pressure, just off shore, just of the iberian peninsula. and that's drawing the winds in from a southerly direction, pushing up across france and on towards the british isles. and we are going to see temperatures around 40 celsius in madrid, close to that sin bordeaux by the time we come to sunday. and eventually we'll see that warmth moving across the channel into a good part of england and wealthy. the southern parts of scotland could touch 2036 celsius in london by tuesday afternoon. fresh air comes back in by wednesday. thankfully there was it down to climate change world climate scientists have been telling us for decades now that so we are likely to see an increase in the intensity and the severity of the storms at the frequency since 1900 to 2002, we had 9 ties with temperatures of reach 35 celsius in the u. k. and since 2003,
4:41 pm
that number goes up to 77 of the hottest 10 years have taken place since 2003. earlier i spoke to tom berk, he's the chairman of e 3, g, 3rd generation environmentalism. explain what's at stake if governments fail to act quickly to count to the effects of climate change. the more accurate to say the probability of events like this and the intent see when they occur is a result of human activity. so we're seeing more very more heat waves and the heat waves that we're seeing osher. and that's because of the fact that we're burning fossil fuels simple. exactly. no, in northern europe, especially the u. k. a talking about the weather is a fact of life. it's will miss that kind of national art form, isn't it? but but holmes there, for instance, on notes designed to with strand, it would stand such extreme eats, not the same applies to schools and hospitals. a railway stations retrofitting
4:42 pm
entire countries is going to be extremely expensive. i couldn't agree with you more and you're absolutely right. we're used to thinking of whether as being predominantly cool, wet brought the draw and so all of our buildings on life styles, all of our infrastructure, not just buildings, things like railways are not really designed to come with a kind of temperature where like you can see on monday and tuesday of this week and so yes indeed it will cost an. busy awful lot to adapt to it, but what's really important about that need is if we got stop burning fossil fuels, this probably will go on getting worse. so we can't say, well, let's say that instead of dealing with the problem, we have to both at that and deal with the problem. at a point made recently by u. k. energy supply is, is that with every degree in temperature and increases energy demand by one percent as people switch on fans and an air conditioner, conditioners, how do we cope with that extra strain on energy supplies?
4:43 pm
well, the 1st, the most important thing is to improve the installation of people's homes. now, insulation keeps he's in, but it also helps to keep it out. so we've got to do things that are structure to cope with. they increasing too much precisely so that it does not the problem worse . but we've also got to get out of burning fossil fuels to provide electricity as fast as we possibly. often governments tend to put the onus on the individual to make a change in the winter. they tell us to put a put a coat on to stay warm in your house. don't turn the air conditioning too much up in the, in the, in the summer. but surely, governments are responsible for taking the lead on this. there's no way you can add up individual behavior to solve a problem like this, that is caused by the way, restructured our economy over the last 100 years. so,
4:44 pm
so governments have to intervene and they have to intervene very vigorously. i'm not mean politicians to understand that there are war with and they can't win a war with physics. they have to do the things that are necessary and they will be difficult and they will be politically painful. what they don't all kinds of ways. it's not becoming clear. if we do the things that are necessary politicians give the lead, they should be giving well, actually end up with an energy system that's more efficient, cheaper, more affordable for people, bearer in the sense of my paperwork. i love the inequities in the current energy system. so it's a better world to be gone on the other side of this problem. but politicians really have to put the shoulder of government to the wheels and they're not doing that really anywhere in the world. fast enough or by contrast snowstorms of force, the closure of a key border crossing between argentina and chilly, nearly 3000 vehicles,
