president joe biden, to wraps up his 1st middle east trip, assuring leaders the u. s. won't abandon the region to china. russia or iran. united states is going to remain active, engage partner in ah, i'm carry johnston. this is al jazeera, alive from all start coming up for the anchors on port for the president may be gone, but the country is still running out of money to pay for basic select fuel. we report from columbus. the trauma of war is taking its toll in ukraine. the report from a hospital that's coping with cases of mental stress disorder. wildfire spread further across southwest europe, forcing thousands of people to flee their homes. ah, u. s. press joe biden has just wrapped up a high stakes for

a tour of the middle east. it started in israel and ended jetta saudi arabia. just hours ago, i've laid out a strategy for the middle east and the room for the regional leaders, including saudi crown. prince mom had been so man, pardon promised the u. s. would not walk away from the region. let me state clearly that the united states is going to remain active, engage partner in the middle east. as a world grows more competitive and the challenges we face more complex. becoming clear to me that how closely you know, what 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. we're will seek to bill this moment with active principal, american leadership. the rest president was hoping to get some concessions from

saudi arabia on raising all production to ease rising gas prices back home. but he's going back without a commitment from the kingdom. so to come look at, we don't know if you had the magenta kingdom and it's a lot of liter of opec, and it had announced it can produce a maximum of 13000000 barrels a day. the kingdom has no spare capacity to increase production. beyond that, the issue of human rights hung over the u. s. president's entire trip to the middle east. he was criticized for meeting that mom had been sent back on friday. joe biden said he raised the killing of jonas, jamal cash oxy with the crown prince. and said he believed in some man was responsible. but according to saudi arabia's foreign affairs minister, the crown prince pushed back his word. highness also mentioned to the president to mistakes like this happen in other countries. and we saw a mistake like this being committed by the united states in a bought a job. and that the united states took steps in order to deal with those who are found guilty and to ensure that mechanisms are put in place to prevent this from

happening. and 100 crump and explain to the president of the king said you best taken measures to ensure that a situation like this cannot happen again the for he's one. hi miss also mentioned that a number of countries in a number of countries around the world. you have situations where journalists are killed, that those countries have to take steps in order to bring those responsible to justice and to ensure that it doesn't happen. and then he also raised the issue of the policy in american journalist that was killed by the israeli defense forces and the need to ensure that this issue is properly dealt with. so these issues, unfortunately, mistakes happen all over the world. and the important thing is to deal with some effectively indecisively or earlier. i spoke to our white house correspondent, kimberly how could she says biden's giving back empty handed from his trip. it's not good for this president because there are

a number of factors that play. first of all, most americans weren't paying attention. that's a big problem. the other big problem is if they were about the only thing they were paying attention to was the, the negative more salacious headlines that happened. and that was the fist from, with mohammed ben solomon. the fact that that the president essentially lost a bit of his moral high ground. the fact that he said the foundation of his foreign policy was human rights. it here he is sitting down with not only the saudi crown prince who has been accused of being human rights abuser. but also there were other world leaders in there as well that have had similar accusations made against them . and so this is a real problem because the america's moral authority has been eroded. the president is, is appearing that he is selling out for economics, and that's not sitting well with many americans. so again, many americans who are consumed with the high inflation cost consumed with paying for high the fuel costs, food prices,

all of that are either we're focused on that not paying attention or focus on the negative headlines. the main cracks of why the present. oh is here and that was to get the saudi kingdom to pump more oil to have increased supply, bring down those high energy prices so that americans in the united states, we're not paying such high fuel costs to fill up their gas tanks or petrol tanks. a well, that didn't happen. so instead what they did was they kind of said, we'll look at, we have this fact, she shows that in july and august was going to happen as there's going to be an increase in production above 50 percent of normal levels. but the truth is, opec already announced that back in june, so this was nothing new. and so they were trying to kind of portray this as a, as a some sort of deal that had been secured. but in fact, that wasn't the case at all. the president is going back empty handed and he has to tell americans that that that same summit cotton's image shake. i mean been hammock

. anthony said, all arab countries are ready to normalize relations with israel. but he restricted the importance of solving the palestinian issue. i know mobility said i'm and hobby, the arab countries, despite their differences, 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 pisa core, i saw that it will be improper for us to abandon our initiatives just because israel rejects them and shall anchors. parliament has begun the process of choosing the next president in a brief session that former president got to by roger paxis resignation letter was read out. by minister week when the singer is serving as acting president until a new leader is in place. will that should happen within the next 7 days? meanwhile, the energy minister says that any kind of help is welcome from friendly nations to

industrial vehicle, is essentially servicers. 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 and this is my 3rd better cue. oh, i've never seen one this long before. never stayed the storm 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 bedrooms. are these people just get 5 liters of fuel sometimes waiting as long as 7 days for that? and there must you again, so that they warm, what they want is a system that allows them to get on with their day to day lives. gunmen have killed 10 people wounded to others in the eastern indonesian province of papa, the attack took place in the and duke district in the center of the province where

a medium term impact medium to long term impact on these economies. now, given that interest 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. that is an important marker. so it is getting to be challenging times for these economies. rushes military says it's destroyed. ukrainian military targets in the western city of denise pro says scores of ukrainian fighters and a military facility were hit by a long range missiles on friday that these 3 people were killed and 15 injured in the strike ukraine. it says the rockets hit an industrial plant and a nearby street. benevolent of oliver chillen is a clue 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 had wounds,

he thinks he's lucky. i was lucky because i have to live and i have to to, to hand into legs and i can walk and i can remember something that is very, very good. because lots of our guys actually a died for, for a crane for freedom, for, for forever. the use various techniques here to help recover the physical and the artistic the even half pet therapy. the horses are a popular diversion that us oh, cool. live on the. it's hard to help while they're actively serving with the military. we have to stay, believe them and get them back to the french. the real work will start when the war ends. marina, the average stay for patience. here is around 3 or 4 weeks, but the recovery that takes a lifetime. alan fisher, i'll josina on the outskirts of keith said i had hair on al jazeera community cactus farms to feed the city,

central areas seeing those branching down ports and the east places like the ship it along the west coast. it is wet but not as intensely as it has been recently. it dries up for southern areas as we work our way in some monday and for sure line cut just a few showers here and they're much dryer as well for the north east of india. and bungler dash and was moved to east asia. it's been all about the heat ticky for shanghai with record breaking temperatures. we are going to see somewhat of a cool town as that where the system pulls its weight further south, taking those wrenching downfalls and thunderstorms into shanghai then across the korean peninsula and into southern areas of japan. but it does remain a pretty hot story, temperatures while above average, not just for toko, but southern areas of china and hong kong. i saw official airline of the journey. oh,

a room for the regional leaders. he promised you would not walk away from the region at the same event at saudi crown. prince muhammad been so man stressed the importance of corporation with us. he also said, dr. unrealistic policies on energy will lead to inflation for that, cuz a parliament has begun the process of choosing the next president, minister week when a singer is serving as active president to a new leader is in place that should happen within the next week. or more than a week of extreme temperatures as cause wildfires to spread in much of at southwestern europe, one pilot died in northern portugal when his water bomb played crushed while fighting fast moving fires. temperatures have hated to thy record of $47.00 degrees celsius in parts of the country. more than 11000 people have been forced to evacuate that you own region in southwest france. in the face of out of control fires, grease has sent fire fighting equipment to help. nearly 10000 hectares of land have

been scorched and spain is seeing temperatures of up to 44 degrees celsius. one fire forced from east to court, not the case section of highway connecting madrid to the portuguese capital. lisbon for over 12 hours. more than 300 people have died from heat related causes across portugal and spain. evident fox has more from the al jazeera where the studio well, this extreme heat has been pumping its way out of the north west of africa, across spain and portugal, where we have seen some very high temperatures rack or breaking heat here. that sir ward 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 to was the british, i'll say 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 good parts of england and wells. even the southern parts of scotland could touch tread 36 celsius in london by tuesday off no fresher, air comes back in by where to stay. thankfully, that 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 and the frequency since 1900 to 2000 or 2. we had no aim ties where temperatures have reached 35 celsius in the u. k. and since 2003, that number goes up to 77 of the hottest 10 years have taken place since 2003 or meanwhile, italy is coping with its worst drought in 70 years. as a result, farmers and an author struggling to salvage their crops. as adam rainy reports from the po valley, the losses could exceed more than $3000000000.00. this is why italy's

longest and most important river, the po, looks like right now. parched in it, dangerously low levels. its water provides the life blood for farmers who produce italy's most valuable crops. walking through his field of stunted corn farmer, aubrianna tune your lo, the son and grandson of corn growers, shows us the damage wrought by the drought. with dana this year, this kohen would just be throwing away all because of the drown, because it hasn't rained in months, can totally ruined down river, where the po empties into the adrian mac engineer, rodolfo low n t e, shows us how the current is running in reverse from the sea to the land because the river is so low. looking over maps, he shows me how salt water is entering nearby farmland, lead into says salt water barriers are failing because they weren't built for such dangerously low river levels. he regularly monitors the salt levels in the river.

he's never seen it this bad. this is him, obviously seems like that. i mean, it's now registering 25 grams per liter. that means that sea water, salt water level here, should be one gram police to be able to distribute to farmers and the effect of so much salt water incursion, burnt crops, worthless and withering in the field. many fields poisoned by salt water may not even produce crops next year. it's not just a problem for agriculture. muscle farmer paola mancini says he'll lose 30 percent of his harvest from this lagoon on the po delta this year. for oil to close, it took them all. these muscles are all dead fresh water from the. ready po hasn't made it here, so they just die. seems like this are increasingly common along the po. hole area is usually covered by water, now exposed, turned in the beaches or islands of sand. in the middle boy, the river usually flows. and those who provide water to farmers in the po valley

say they're not just worried about this summer's crops. but about years to come a once in a lifetime, drought shows how life could change here forever. so the way the mechanic was, if we lose this resource we have had for centuries, we'll have to abandon our excellent crops and we'd give up our whole cultural heritage, a frightening prospect as people here and millions of others around the world struggle to adapt to changing climate adarine al jazeera in the po valley of northern italy. economists in mexico was met without action to reduce inflation from communities in the country could face famine as food prices in the country skyrocket, mexico's president to undress. manuel lopez open the door. once mexicans to produce more of their own food and make the country more self sufficient, no rock has more from mexico city. this family farmers in the mexican

capital or harvesting no pine cactus. no panel is a staple food in mexico and just one of several important cash crops produced in the community of mil alta here, keesa rosen, barley suppose here we produce nepal, corn and beans, and the majority of the food we produce goes towards feeding mexico city with food prices, on the rise, mexico's president has called on farmers to increase agricultural production and the government has already set a plan in motion to assist farmers through subsidies. program must increment that we are all the programs the government has implemented have helped us because costs are rising. the costs of fertilizer is increased and the economy of the country is not doing well. one of the government's programs is called sim, bundle vida, or sewing life 1st launched in 2019 as a broad strategy to combat poverty and inequality. today it's being geared towards increasing food security in the face of worsening inflation. but many in mexico are

worried that not enough is being done to rain back, skyrocketing prices. oh yes, everything is expensive. the price of over kado, lemon, tomato has increased. we can't afford it anymore. some economists in mexico have world that inflation could reach as high as 10 percent by the end of the year. i completed that problem worsens and we see the inflation rate, which double digits the repercussions in terms of inequality and poverty would be devastating. lemme, the mexican government seems confident that promoting sustainable practices and investing in small farmers like those in melba ida will ultimately be the best way to avert a potential food crisis. the u. n. food and agriculture organization have expressed optimism over projects like sim bundle either or sewing life. the goal here in mexico is to expand the existing program by including more crops and using organic

fertilizers. and thus moving the country toward food self sufficiency. experts in mexico see that while subsidies offer a good solution in the short term, the only way to guarantee food security is through economic policies aimed at curbing inflation. manuel rap, hello al jazeera, mexico city. u. s. authorities say they will seek the immediate extradition of an a tourist at drug lord captured by mexican forces. mexico's navy released footage of rafael at cairo quinn, tara, shortly after he was arrested in sinaloa carrack on tara, was jailed in the 1980s from asked to mining the killing of a u. s. drug enforcement agent. he was released on a technicality in 2013, but he returned to drug trafficking. mike vigil is the former chief of international operations for the u. s. a drug enforcement administration. he says this is a win for the thought is. the drug enforcement administration is elaine. it with
