early on, and i have said this last week when opec made the decision to align their energy policy with russia's war and war aims and against the american people. further underscore is that reasoning to realign that relationship to reevaluate that relationship with saudi arabia. we are reviewing where we are currently right now and will be watching closely over the coming weeks and months as well. well kimmy hawk, it has mall on the story from the white house. well, this is something that has really been the concern for many on capitol hill for some time the us saudi relationship, as there has been concern about particularly the issue of human rights. and so this is something that many members of congress, not just from the opposition republican party, but also from the president's own democratic party, have been urging the white house to do not just the biden administration,

but also the trumpet ministration for many years to reevaluate this relationship and so this is something that as we've been reporting the national security both 1st and john kirby says, is now something that the white house is willing to look at. given the fact that the president did travel to saudi arabia and recent months did feel that he had a good conversation with the saudi current principal, haven't been solomon, but they're not happy with the fact that now there has been decision this decision by opec to in fact cut production and so there's a number of reasons why the white house is not happy about this decision. and one of the big reasons is that there is a congressional election that is coming up in just a matter of weeks. in fact, in november. and this is really seem to benefit the president's political adversaries. here in the united states. high energy prices really are not good for the president politically. and so that's one reason that this white house is not

happy about this. but the other reason the white house is not happy about this is that the fact that this is really seen is aligning with russia. russia's president has praise be decision by a peg class to shall be cut back on. will production flood me? patient was speaking at a meeting with the leader of united arab emirates. we are actively working in the framework, close our decisions. our action aren't directed against anyone. we are and acting to create problems for anyone. our actions are aimed to insure to built in global energy markets. the russia has continued to launch missiles at several regions of ukraine, including the south eastern city of operation. ukrainian official say at least one person was killed off to 12 missiles hit the city on tuesday on attacks in the west

a planetary object. first time ever darts collision with the asteroid, shortened its orbit around another asteroid by 32 minutes far more than the 70. 3 seconds predicted. nasa's administrator says this kind of cosmic shove could protect the earth and its inhabitants from the kinds of meteors that wiped out the dinosaurs 65000000 years ago. now this is a watershed moment for planetary defense and a watershed moment for humanity. and that's why it was fitting that dart was an international endeavor science benefits humanity. this is a unifying mission. building, spacecraft that can intercept asteroids won't offer enough protection. scientists say they need better ways of figuring out which space objects might be

a threat in the 1st place. the more time we have for that little nudge in the, in the change in that or will orbital period to really make a change. the better off we are, sorry to say they have lots of data to review, and they'll use those insights to help them knock asteroids out of earth's way. rosalyn, jordan al jazeera lebanon and israel have reached agreement on a disputed maritime borders being held as a historic deal and will enable new energy sources to be exploited. and smith has the details from western israel government says this is an historic deal with 11 on it. says it'll strengthen israel, security people, billions of dollars into israel economy and ensure the stability of israel's border with lebanon. engineers are already testing the pipe that will eventually extract a gas from its kurdish oil field to israel, mainland. and i hope that in about 3 weeks time, once those tests are completed,
