president joe biden wraps up his 1st middle east trip, assuring leaders the u. s. won't abandon the region to china. russia or ron. united states is going to remain in active, engage, partner in the my waist. ah, i'm a baka, this is al jazeera life and also coming up after months of mass demonstrations for lancoste, parliament begins the process of choosing a new precedent. and the trauma of war is taking its toll in ukraine will report from a hospital that's coping with cases of mental stress disorder. parts of europe swelter under a searing heat wave, sparking wildfire and prompting evacuations. ah, here us president joe biden has just wrapped up a controversial for day toward the middle east. it started in israel and these

ending in jetta saudi arabia. just an hour ago, biden laid out his strategy for the middle east in a room full of regional leaders, including saudi crown. prince mohammed, ben solomon biden promised the u. s. would not walk away from the region. let me stay clearly at the united states is going to remain an 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 interests are with the successes in the least. we will not walk away and leave a vacuum to be filled by china. russia were rear. will cease to build on the smooth, active principle. ver, can leadership as bringing kimberly alcohol. whitehouse correspondence her choice. me here in the studio. kimberly, would she feel that the u. s. president needed to assure middle east to leaders the

america would abandon them. oh, well, there's a couple of reasons and some of them are self serve areas. first of all, it was almost a message to not just the golf leaders, but to russia and china that to look at, we're not going anywhere. in fact, that's exactly what he said is kind of a signal look if you're trying to encroach, we are not going anywhere. we're going to stay right where we are. but also think about it i, it's also a signal and maybe a sign of the winning influence of the united states as well. i mean, there was a time when the united states didn't have to say that it was just known. and so that is also as signal that say in the united states perhaps is a little bit concerned. in fact, so much. so that really was the purpose of this trip. the united states was very clear. the us president was clear, he was here to re establish, to recalibrate some of the existing relationships that go back decades. but i have

been harmed in many ways. and so there is no question that there is a strategic interest of the united states when it comes to saudi arabia and that partnership, when it comes to its relationship with israel, when it comes to a number of these relationships and conversations that he had with golf leaders, what is specific when it comes to the relationship with saudi arabia and comes to relationship with israel? a is there common foe? and of course, that is iran, and it's increasing dominance in the region of course into it. while in the israel, that normal binding agreement, sir, was reach wounded with the yellow p both leaders signing an agreement to prevent a wrong from developing its nuclear program. any further, how important was it for biden? to do that. it was absolutely critical for a number of reasons. number one because he is a staunch supporter of israel and israel sees this is an existential threat,

but also not just for the foreign policy stage, but this is important for the domestic stage as well. because the u. s. congress sees this as being critically important. the u. s. congress. that is very divided. we're democrats and republicans typically agree on nothing. they are very united on this issue, particularly when it comes to the defense of israel. and this is political, this is a president who is low and the approval ratings is struggling on a number of issues and knows that he has congressional elections come november. and we should point out he is going back empty handed right now. because the reason that he was making this trip was to get the saudis to pump more oil. he did not secure a new agreement, is to try and get the saudis to do just that. to lower the price is back in the united states. so essentially he comes back empty handed, has to deliver that message to the american public, the voting public and the voting public. that will be

a deciding who will control congress, whether it will be his democratic party, or whether it will be the republicans come november or kimberly hockey great to have you here in doha. and if you to share your insights, can we, how could all white house correspondent the cutters. amir shakes, i mean, been hammered out. honey said all arab countries are ready to normalize relations with israel. and he restated the importance of solving the palestinian issue. i law mobility said i am in hobby, the arabic countries despite their differences and have unanimously agreed on the arab piece finished, which expresses a readiness by all of them to normalize relations with israel. if it agrees on a settlement based on international legitimacy and resolution stipulating withdrawal to the 1967 borders within p circle, i saw that it will be improper for us to abandon our initiatives just because israel rejects them. and so like as parliament has begun the process of choosing

the next president and a brief session, former president go to buy a roger paxis resignation letter was read out. our minister run a break from a singer is serving as acting president until the new leader is in place that should happen within the next 7 days. meanwhile, the energy minister says that any kind of help is welcome from friendly nations to solve the economic crisis. a shortage of foreign exchange means sri lanka can't import essential items including fuel medicine and fertilizers. initial meetings have already taken place with india and russia. we have made requests, we nearby have made requests to every friendly mission. so any country that comes, we have a bus, we appreciate that right now. the indian garland is the only country that has provided us with the credit line. and al fernandez is in colombo, the scenes outside this central station and at fuel sheds around the country is an example of the complete chaos caused by the economic crisis in sri lanka. i mean,

just at this federal shed, queues have known to sneak more than 10 kilometers around for people waiting for fuel. it's impacted not just personal vehicle users. it's taxi cabs, it's the industrial because it's essentially services. it's every one that is really struggling to get on with their day to day lives. it's about me getting back and forth to work mostly been walking for days and days on end. this is my 3rd printer queue. oh, i've never seen one this long before. never stayed this one before, not eaten, not drunk properly. so it's very stressful. and people finding a day to day living like this q that you see are the 3 wheelers. it just sneaks around and round before it actually gets to the bedroom at these people just get 5 liters of fuel sometimes waiting as long as 7 days for that. and then musk you again so that they want what they want is

a system that allows them to get on with their day to day lives. rushes military says it's destroyed ukrainian military targets in the western city of the ne pro. and so scores of ukrainian fighters and a military facility were hit by long range missiles on friday. at least 3 people were killed and 15 injured in the strike. ukraine says the rockets hit an industrial plant and a nearby street and benevolence of all a vision and if not, what saved me with the locked window and the door. when the blast wave hid, there were few shards because all my windows were typed up. i have wounds, but there is superficial. i have a small injury on the left side of my body. but the people whose windows were not protected like this. there was a lot of blood, there injuries were horrible. i saw a small child all covered in blood. she was awful. doctors in ukraine, so they're concerned about the trauma. soldiers are being exposed to on the front lines. they're seeing a significant spike and serious brain injuries and post traumatic stress cases. but

a response for israel carried one more raid on the central part. because the strip this, these rates have been very violent. the most violent in the last month. farmers in northeast and syria watching the river. they rely on for irrigation and drinking water dry up before their eyes. they blame dams recently built a neighboring turkey. the un humanitarian affairs agency estimates the disruption has affected access to water for around 460000 people in the region. mohammed val has more now be in the back of the hubble, had it had to miss it, standing in what was once the middle of the hub already for the biggest tributary of the euphrates. in syria, for centuries, people in the north east, the region of hassan have depended on it for their livelihoods. but that so think of the past, says the farmer. have you my let her know there is no water because it was casso from turkey. they put dams on the river and cut off supplies,

and they closed the springs and dug wells around the springs and put dame so to the cupboard waters or cast off. the drought is worsening. the impact of dams built on the turkish side of the border. until recently, wheat, cotton, barley, rice, were grown in the hub or river valley. another farmer says, underground water reserves are also affected. not an alarm will let him of early to day. we are suffering way because there is no water. even the level of health has gone down. the people who used to live of the hover river have reached a new level of quality. there is nothing. mohammed hums, it adds that the shallow water is undrinkable. o kabul, ody anamosa, people used to drink water from the harbor, but now we don't even let she drink the water because they get sick immediately, but it's not working. the land is the only way of life. these farmers know that i live in a madness that i don't. the drought has hit us hard. we don't even plans any more.

when we do the crops die, we plant seeds on both sides of the river and we take losses. you know how much agriculture costs these days all, if god has mercy on us and gives us rain, we was of the crops twice and then they die in will. body. syria has been devastated by civil war since 2011. the fighting has forced people from their homes . now the drought is denting the resolve of those who have stayed against all odds . mohammed vine. i'm just here in the u. k. ang forecasters of issued an extreme heat warning for a number of cities in england and wales is to to last from sunday until tuesday. it comes to head of a heat wave that could result in record breaking temperatures next week. or weather and winds, or causing while fires to spread in southwestern firms, hundreds of fire fighters have been trying to extinguish the flames and protect several cities. thousands of tourists and people living in the area have been forced to leave their homes and fire fighters in central and northern portugal

battling blazes that have spread across the border from spain. a plain being used to tackle the wildfires crashed, killing the pilot within 30000 hacked areas of land have burned the past week. that's more than all of last year or earlier i spoke with tom burke, he's the chairman of e 3 g 3rd generation environmentalism. explain what's at stake if governments fail to act quickly to counter the effects of climate change. been 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 are hotter. 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 homes there, for instance, on notes designed to with strand,

it would stand such extreme heat, not the same applies to schools and hospitals. a railway stations retrofitting 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 lifestyles, all of our infrastructure, not just buildings, things like railways are not really designed to cope 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 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? well, the 1st most important thing is to improve the installation of people's homes. now insulation thinks he's in, but it also helps to keep it out. so we've got to do things that are for 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, so governments have to intervene and they have to intervene very vigorously. i'm not mean politicians to understand that there are war with physics 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. but they don't all kinds of ways. it's 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. finance ministers from the g 20 nation,

sir, wrapped up a meeting in barley and they're leaving with no final communique. they discussed the global food crisis, the global minimum corporate tax and inflation. differences over the worn ukraine prevented delegates from agreeing on a consensus statement. quito gopi enough is the deputy managing director of the impartial monetary fund. she says, a combination of factors including the war and ukraine and china's approach to the pandemic are impacting the economies of the most vulnerable countries. if you just look at our projections for recovery and emerging and developing economies, you will see that, you know, where we think they will be in about 2 to 3 years. is significantly lower than where they would have been in the absence of the pandemic. which is unlike what we see for advanced economy. so there has been a medium term impact medium to long term impact on these economies. now, given that incest rates are going up around the world, that is raising borrowing class for emerging, developing economies. for example,

we have about a 3rd of emerging markets whose borrowing costs in foreign currency is over 10 percent, or that is an important marker. so it is getting to be challenging times for these economies. chinese president, she g paying has visited shin jang and was thought to be the 1st trip to the region since the crackdown on the week of muslim minority. she described it as a hub in china's infrastructure program, connecting it to central asia in eastern europe. beijing has been accused of committing human rights abuses against the weaker, including force labor and sterilization. the un security council has passed a resolution urging all countries to ban small arms deliveries to haiti where gang violence is soaring. at least 89 people were killed in the capital or to prince this week. violent crime has affected fuel distribution, aggravating shortages, which of course widespread protests in recent days. john martin bower is the world food program representative in haiti. he says,

the humanitarian and economic situation, the country is alarming. now to 277000 people out of those a few, 10000 tens of thousands are trapped without water and have been since july 8 more or less. so it's been a week since this has gone on. we're very concerned about people's access to food, water, and basic medical care. if i needed to stop, we used to stop to a last minute journey to come in religious communities as in doing our best to bring assistance. so those have been effected. we do need to have access to see this away in order to relieve the situation again to just the way it has been cut off. and so we need to do, i'm not able to get essentially supplies. so we've been in touch with communities. we're still inside, religious members and religious communities are allowed in and out among the very few. and they do tell us that the situation is dire,

that people are struggling and that we need to get assistance and such as soon as possible. gangs are present in different parts of water, prince, they've been able to cut off the road to the south. in the case for about a year, there's also been the road to the dominican republic, heading east. that's been cut off for months and there's currently issues with access leading porter, president, noise. so that's ever since may that's been a very difficult road for people to travel because again, control in these areas. american sprints, addison felix is signed off on her athletic career with a metal winning performance 36 year old claim bronze, the full by $400.00 relay felix piled out of the sports is the most successful us track athlete in history. winning 19 world at 11, a limping metals. it's amazing stuff to ah.
