[000:00:00;00] ah, there's me, it makes me me. oh, yes i am. yes ma'am. ah, ah. regional rivals, iran and saudi arabia agreed to restore diplomatic ties. after talks in china.

ah, philips robin watching all deserve life. my headquarters here in doha also coming. emmanuel and i share the same belief. criminal gangs should not get to decide who comes to our country. the u. k agreed to give franz more than $500000000.00 hoping to cut the number of migrants crossing the english channel. mass proto, c, georgia scrap. it's forum agents built moscow accuses the us of instigating anti russia sentiment and the rebel attack kills 44 people in increasingly volatile democratic republic of congo. ah, walk into the program in a surprise, move saudi arabia and iran have announced that that resuming diplomatic ties in a queue for china. the deal was struck in beijing after 4 days of secret talks. it

follow 7 years of hostilities since the saudi kingdom broke off. official relations with terror on and in the joint communicate both countries pledge to reopen their embassies within the next 2 months. sally hush hm has more from teheran then that beijing, the secretary of iran, the supreme national security council, and his counterparts from saudi arabia met over the past few days. and they agreed on exchanging ambassadors between to her and real. this is a breakthrough, and this is big news in this region because on one side it's going to help this escalate, deescalate the tension and the other. it's kind of a result of the 2 years of meetings between delegations from iran and so that it, yeah, there was a mediation before and in baghdad that didn't really go a lot forward. and they want to small understandings. what right now, that is

a big agreement. the 2 countries are going back to 2 exchange ambassadors that have diplomatic size, and also they will put in action the 2001 security back between them. that means no none. none of them is going to interfere in any other countries interests and they will try to have good relations. how this is going to be reflected on the region. many say this is going to have yes, the escalate, as we said in the beginning. but the important thing here is the chinese roll this region. i've been known for years to be under the u. s. influence. this is the 1st time that china is playing such at all. and this means that the chinese are having more leverage in the middle east. let's cross over to watch house corresponding kimberly. how can his be following events for us from washington dc. let's just begin with reaction to this news from the white house. well, the reaction from the white house has come from the national security council,

john kirby spokesman saying that the united states and specifically the biden administration welcoming this news. in fact, seeing this is through the lens of a broader de escalation in terms of tensions and specifically efforts to end the war in yemen. john kirby saying that this is certainly not only welcome news, but at good news in terms of and he sort of destabilization efforts that to this can certainly be something that will be a growingly see thing now in terms of the sort of the ties and the of concerns about those of saudi ties. they are saying that this de escalation and diplomacy are really key pillars of the biden administration's efforts in the region. specifically jo biden's visit to the region last year. and so they really feel that the biden administration has had a hand in all of this. but at the same time when reporters press on the fact that it was a china that had a direct hand in this, in fact that this was

a direct involvement of beijing, that this was something that was worked out in beijing, the john kirby, the spokesperson, did admit that there was no direct involvement of the o biden administration, and in fact, i did the suggest that there was some sort of decline in the u. s. power. and this is something that the spokes person directly pushed back on, even though acknowledging that there was no direct involvement by the united states in this latest development in the president was at a press conference earlier. well, just a few hours ago. kimberly, when asked about the agree but the present, talked about sort of normalization of relations with israel. i mean, a sort of a different talk about sort of the same was cutting all by yeah. it's almost as if the president seemed confused by what the issue report is. we're even referred to almost underscoring the point that was being made,

that the u. s. was not in any way involved in this resumption of ties that we're discussing here between the 2 nations. in other words, what the president was actually talking about is something that's being reported on in the united states that is completely separate. and that is sort of the reports that are happening in the united states right now. that saudi arabia is, in fact, asking the united states to provide security guarantees to help develop a civilian nuclear program as washington tries to broker diplomatic relations between saudi arabia and israel. so that's a completely different issue. what this president was saying is that he says, the better relations between israel and their arab neighbors, the better for everybody. so obviously the president got a little bit confused there. so the priority in this case for the by the ministration is israel and the u. s. government saying that when it comes to this

issue, obviously they're going to be some concerns by us lawmakers this good exacerbate tensions, a, in the eyes of some us lawmakers with iran. again, the u. s. president seem to be somewhat confused. bottom line and all of this, what we're really seeing is really a realignment in the middle east in terms of geo politics, and certainly, well that might confuse a lot of people given some of the traditional allies. it certainly also didn't confuse the u. s. president, least momentarily. when asked by reporters. indeed. thank heavens, we have here in washington to on pickets all for us. kimberly, how could the the white house correspondent, thank you. no, iran and saudi arabia have long had an adversarial history. let's take a look back at some of those recent events while in 2011, the arab springs or protest movements against the status quo in several countries. in the middle east. saudi arabia accused iran of inciting protests in bahrain

against the royal family. iran denied the accusation as the civil war in yemen, began in 2015, saudi arabia, back the internationally recognized government, and talk to tutti rebels, strongholds. iran was why be accused of backing the hu thies military militarily pop me? and it said it provided political support. in 2016, saudi arabia executed a prominent shiite leader who supported descent against the kingdom. there was a pro, in iran when protest has burned parts of the saudi embassy. ria then severed diplomatic ties with teheran, and in 2019 saudi arabia stayed for an oil company was hit by a healthy drone attack. $5000000.00 barrels a day of qu, production was affected, goes to half of the kingdoms output. iran denied any involvement. let's bring in a dozen gunny eliana. he's a senior researcher at the center center for strategic studies enjoys. we are live from a man good to get you on the program so i can just get your initial reaction to what

you're hearing about this agreement between saudi arabia and iran. thank you for having me. ah, this is very, very good news. good. oh, that tail would mean that their party is supported by their 2 sides would be more willing to compromise and read, share a power sharing agreement that will bring this a very unfortunate situation to an end. however, i have to question that it may be that, yeah, 2 sides will not, there apply their necessary pressure on their respective allies. and therefore, the war will, while the saudis will no longer be above the method that terminal do it, that civil war will continue or any other, another thing to worry about. but if i could just get in there, we'll, we'll talk about the, the issues of having just a moment, isn't just try to get those initial reactions from you, sir, because you're very well connected in your own right. with conversations with you

and bodies that you deal with the your involved in prominent think tanks. this deal was a very well kept secret. by all accounts. did you have ever and did you ever have an idea that this was on the cards and are you surprised that china are involved in this? i am, i am indeed are we, we had no idea that the chinese were involved, or we knew that conversation between their saudis and the iranians has been going on for a while. and it was getting progressing and, and, and very slowly. but this is a big break, so you talk about, yep. and, and let's focus there. are you deal greatly with humanitarian relief in the country? how does this agreement potentially change the reality on the ground for millions across the i've been caught up in a conflict through no fault of their own? well, the only way that that humanitarian situation will will improve is if the war starts

. now or while there is there a truce between the parties, that throws was mainly between the whole the movement and saudi arabia. there's still quite a bit of awe of violence, especially in dyers or so we're hoping that there be escalation. l liber will lead to general a peace agreement, hopefully and par sherry than the key obstacle to any piece or sustainable piece out. we get that both is to have the to share power with others. it can i or, or just for international viewers who may not be totally aware of the politics of yemen. we talk about the hootie as a unified group and you talk about the fact that they need to share a power. oh, what is their strength, and is it just their strength and certain parts of the country and how many groups

do you think have to get around the table in yemen to agree that a long term piece with saudi arabia and it's other neighbors, is something that's best for everyone. the main source of the whole, the strength as the control of the capital and the state institutions, including the nation of army. and the national government is so fractured. representing factions from the civil factions from south human and civil factions from last 11. and they are unable to formulate one coherent policy. so why the politics and the who teaches the various groups on one side, if there is an ongoing truth and an ongoing piece for the moment, the evolution to that we've seen in witness these past few months. what are the immediate needs right now in terms of humanitarian aid that people lead on the

ground. busy the device, the community did not respond to the human a theory and called for he said in response funding. and i think that it's unfortunate, but the fact of the matter is humanitarian assistance is not the way to solve the problem. and you haven't because most of the able to fit in assistance as miss directed by all parties actually, but mostly by the policies, to finance law. what we shall see how this transpired, certainly in the coming months for the moment that the gunny viani, thanks so much for joining us from a man. now the u. k. will pay france $575000000.00 over the next 3 years in an effort to cut the number of asylum seekers crossing the english channel in small boats. the british and french leaders have been meeting in paris as the u. k.

government pushes and controversial le crackdown on illegal crossings. now the 2 leaders hail the summit as a new start in anglo french relations. we're announcing a new detention center in northern from and you command center, bringing our enforcement team together in one place for the 1st time, and an extra $500.00 new offices patrolling french beaches all underpinned by more drone and other surveillance technologies that will help ramp up the interception, right? and the legislation, the u. k, is introduced this week, supports it because it's designed to break the business model of the criminal gangs and remove the poll factors, bringing them to the channel coast. now we will always comply with our international treaty obligations, but i am convinced that within them that we can do what is necessary to solve the shared problem and stop the both. a city gaskin with this,

what we've decided is height and coordination on our activities in new initiatives . we compel each other and we must act together in a fully shared framework. but also to be able to do this with all the europeans who are concerned with the transit and crossing this after butler has more from paris. when it comes to cost channel migration, it is long been a source of great tension between britain and france. britain, as always, felt the france doesn't do enough to stop people crossing at the english channel on small boats and arriving illegally in the u. k. fronds has long felt that britain should do more to help it if he really wants to try and reduce the number of asylum seekers that are leaving a french shore or war. he thought a day was emmanuel mackerel. and richie soon acc, at least looking as if they had come to some form of agreement over how to move forward. we have britain pledging $577000000.00

a to francis for the next 3 years to help bolster security operations on the north and french coast. so you had a diversion sooner talking about things like another did a detention center that will be run by our british and french. oh, offices police officers more are patrolling police officers on the beaches of northern france. the very fact that there somebody was taken place is significant in itself because there hasn't been a franco british summit for 5 years because relations between london and paris have been extremely straying deficits. briggs have dispute, so for things like fishing rights cove, it and the ox submarine contract. but this, what we saw here today between mac ornstein act was all about resetting those ties . reviving past alliances. relations well still had here on al jazeera bringing pinocchio to live frame by frame, a close up, look at the sets of the osgood, nobody to stop motion filled straight after the break.

ah frank assessments. this treaty provides us with this hopeful moment where countries could come together and stop putting in place the allow us to treat this global commons with the attention. it deserves informed opinions that g thread we should have planned with james as the center of that. so gen doubt and not feel the shadow by the order that has been critical debate chinese site should be shared with ukrainian leadership you've made. talk about all thing you could talk with inside story. on al jazeera al jazeera world takes a road trip across spain. spanish, people love to tell you the yard and where they come from. and i am no exception. one woman's journey seeking her heritage and of covering new insights into christian spies of most of them origin. it's

a story that seems to have been her brush from history. in search of my roots on al jazeera, i know some tigers were poached near extinction. now the army in joseph community groups with brought them back from the breaker. one on one east investigate on al jazeera. ah ah, what about 12 is there with me? said robin, reminder of our top story, saudi arabia and iran, have announced that the resuming diplomatic ties. the surprise deal was struck in beijing. it follows 70 years of all. still, letty,

since we are broke off relations with to her on the united kingdom, will pay france $577000000000.00 over the next 3 years. in an effort to cut the number of asylum seekers crossing the english channel. she soon i can remember back roll welcomed and you start it relations. the police germany say a gunman who killed 6 adults and the unborn baby to jehovah witnesses whole was a former member of the religious community. they say that he shot himself as a police enter the building in the northern city of humbug. joe, the whole reports mobile footage records. a gunman, firing many rooms inside a building where a weekly bible study meeting a pitcher hoses witnesses, was taking place outside a stream of police vehicles and ambulances were quickly on the scene. armed police stores the building, finding dead bodies,

government to back down and kill this bill. the ruling party, georgia. dream said it would conditionally withdraw the bill. it supported without any reservation, but it accused what it called the radical opposition of spreading lies about the bill. how many people here since the hands of russia, the bill was called an agent of foreign influence. bill was a very similar sort of law was passed in russia and it was used to crack down on opposition groups and human rights watch says that here in georgia organizations and jose would have faith owners reporting requirements and inspection that includes electron monitoring groups, corruption, monitoring group independent media, anyone who got source more than 20 percent of the funding from overseas, the government, but simply that this law was necessary to root out foreign agents and spies the kremlin when i physically about this law that that they had no influence on. i'm not involved in this. lauren,

georgia bill squeeze. leda has older the military to intensify drills or what he calls a real war. came jungle made the demand. does he over sold a lot of missiles or long find his daughter? the u. s. and south korea are preparing for large scale joint military drills. next week. at least 44 people have been killed and attack an eastern democratic republic of congo. the military says a village north keyvi province was targeted by fighters, believes to be from a uganda, an armed group, the pledge allegiance, to isolate the bulk of weapons, the story, the people of the village of me, candy berries, bodies of thousands of children, women and men, killed in an attack by an armed group. it's not the 1st time they've had to do this gentle mother even though it was evening. around 7 o'clock, i heard noises and children starting to flee suddenly. the rebels were attacking in the direction of our health center. there was shouting, the children shouted,

the adf, rebels are here. the army says the adf, allied democratic forces is responsible. it's widely blamed for killing thousands of civilians in it's hillary province over the last decade. wave limit, as you see in the country, it's always the same adf, which always has bad intentions towards the congo lease. so they showed up here in the village of mc condi, last many of our brothers. 2 years ago the government declared the state of siege here a form of martial law had said it would enable a crackdown on the armed groups that the attacks have only become more frequent and more bloody. you see in their bus bar here 3 or 4 days, don't go by without us recording death. the results of barbarity from adf terrorists. that is why once again, we repeat, we need considerable military force to come, that can contribute to the restoration of peace. the adf originally came from

neighboring u gander in the 1990 s. the armies of those few kanda and congo, have pledge to deceit them right creep, say the military operations haven't helped, and the violence against civilians is growing west. malcolm web al jazeera, several rollers in the palestine, marathon nevada, the late al jazeera judd la sharina, blacklight, members of the family and staff from the bethlehem municipality funded t shirt showing her picture sherry was shot and killed by this wavy soldier. while an assignment in geneva in may last year, now the sets of the new oscar nominated version of pinocchio ha, the center of a brand new exhibition in new york. the museum of modern arts display shows visitors the painstaking process of stop motion, animation, and art that spring slowly replaced by computer generated imagery. gabriel alexander went to have a look. ah, we shall call you. tina mexican director,

guillermo del toro pinocchio. is the latest adaptation of the classic children's story of a wooden boy whose nose grows when he lies in new york's museum of modern art, is giving visitors the chance to see the care and craft behind making the movie in an exhibition fittingly called crafting pinocchio. unlike most modern animations, pinocchio was made not with computer generated graphics, but with traditional stop animation techniques, a painstaking process in which the movie is literally made frame by frame. there are a full scale. dana mation sets from the film just as i appeared. this is the largest one, this is the fastest re education cam we've installed and i went to the studio cameras and it's taking one still image at a time between each till image the enemy is would move all the property and then

take one photograph. and when you read altogether, you've got a of the see, up to 40 animators worked simultaneously on pinocchio often at home during the pandemic. the scenes that last just a you seconds, sometimes took months to make life such a wonderfully. although the results are stunning. you may have no stream control. the movie is set in fascist italy in the 19th thirty's and visitors can also see the designers attention to detail in recreating scenes from that era. as well as some of the monsters as fantasy mixes with reality. ah gernado toros! pinocchio is nominated for the best animated feature film oscar. it's already won that category in the golden globes. but this exhibition here at the moma is about

a lot more than just recognizing the director, the show ends with a board with all the collaborators, photographs, everyone who worked on this film. i think of people leaving see the faces of the people, the crated. what they've just experienced, it'll be inspiring for them. and exhibition that's as much about those who made the art as the art itself. gabriel's ando al jazeera new york. and you can follow that so, and i think we're covering, including that announcement from iraq. and sadie able to receive diplomatic relations on our website at al jazeera dot com. i back with the news, i just sent the hafner inside story with adrian finnegan. ah, the off the extreme heat in egypt, things cool down a little bit. we still got,

rather a lot of warm for trust turkey. for example, overnight the temperature is nothing like freezing. they've steadily been rising. they're sitting there now, the stills snow in the mountains of eastern turkey, if you like, and the rain coming into the west and increasing suddenly flo during saturday. that event looks fine, warm and sunny. and that's mostly true in southern turkey and northern syria as well. it's also mostly true now across here in iraq, with the shelves having gone right across the running towards afghanistan. but you can fall the line back here, and the wind that's come with it is picking up the sand and the dust and take it over to western saudis. that's going to be unpleasant. source of generating showers in the mountains down. western saudi and western side of yemen as well. and that whole lot then curls back with significant sundry outbreaks in central sadie re be heading up towards q a. this is during sunday, worse things are quite and down and become sonya 28 degree doha. look at this freddie, the longest live cycle record anywhere in the world, to be honest,

is about to make it 2nd land follows made it 2nd landfill, a different part of mozambique as a category to equivalent hurricane. so winds are a danger, but rain probably more so ah, for the law will the law when with neither side, willing to negotiate is the ukraine war becoming a forever war? is america's global leadership, increasingly fragile. what we'll us politics looked like as we had to the presidential election of 2024. the quizzical look us politics, the bottom line. what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they're going through here at al jazeera, we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. sion king is formerly appointed for a foot thomas, china's president, all powerful at home. he faces big challenges elsewhere up against the us and i'm
