we believe that we can and indeed we must play an integral role in advancing it. no . you know, there's just the, this can be done quickly or easily. but we remain committed to working towards that outcome, including on the trip. i'm about to take this week to jetta and re add for engagements with our saudi and goals counterparts. our white house correspondent, kimberly how could joins us live on this. kimberly, we wanted to talk to you about this because even though those statements are not exactly new for american diplomacy, these are fairly standard lines. what is new is the original context, right? the middle east is changing fast. anthony, blinking his headed there and this is what he says just before he flies out, your thoughts on all of that is yeah, it's changing so fast. and the us wants to make sure that it continues to have a vested interest because there is a need to make sure that the us visa v is national security is part of that

conversation. so that is why entity blinking is going to make sure that the u. s. is in the midst of all of this rapid changes. so that is really what the crux of this is now. the normalization in terms of relations between israel and saudi arabia is really all about us national security. so that's really the message. but the concern for the united states is that up until now they've seen savvy ready to kind of holding back. in other words, they've been some commercial flights between saudi arabian israel, some of the exchanges back and forth, but things can go much further. and so that's what this is really about trying to see that expansion. see more integration. uh and so these are what the conversations are going to be opening up, advancing the relationship, making sure that there's more prosperity on both sides. but in the midst of all of this, what you heard there is the concern that a run is kind of the big obstacle. and so once again,

we've got the underscore in by the, by the administration saying, when it comes to a ronald's efforts to acquire a nuclear weapons. but if it chooses to avoid diplomacy and move forward on that pass that the united states is going to do everything, it can to stop it. and when it comes to that, once again, reiterating that all options are on the table to prevent that from happening. then i assume he will also be delivering that message in person since he's traveling to um, saudi arabia tomorrow. what can you tell us? well, in a few hours, i believe, what can you tell us about the entity of lincoln's visit to the region is yeah, they're going to be a lot of conversations happening because these things take time. and this is really kind of an incremental thing that's being built upon the abraham accords, the 1st stage of it that was done under the trump administration now be expanded upon by the, by the administrator. and so this is something that is, is going to take a lot of talking with the various counterparts. it's not going to be quick and we

know that this is really an expansion of kind of a parallel effort. that's been a sort of discussed in terms of expanding prosperity, kind of the economic means of all of this through the us congress as well. so what we know is that there is another key to all of this was divided ministration. really wants to point out is look at, well, we're expanding relations between israel, saudi arabia, the broader era of world. oh, let's not forget that. we've got work to do as well when it comes to the israelis and the palestinians. that is still an ongoing conflict of grave concern. the escalation and violence there is still as important. so this administrative sion and it's certainly the efforts are not a substitute for working on that as well. kimberly, while i have you, i want to keep you for just a little while longer and ask you to pivot to domestic politics. because just moments ago we learned donald trump was obviously running for the republican nomination. and the presidential race is going to have a new arrival. yeah,

that's right. we just learned that the former partner of donald trump, his vice president, mike pads has just thrown his hat into the ring. uh so now uh what we've got is once partners and, and the mike pence that donald trump ticket is now going to be a challenger of donald trump in the upcoming presidential election, or at least for the republican nomination. so what we've got is an announcement we understand that his taking place by video, we know there's going to be an appearance in iowa. and what this is is really a kick off by the former vice president to challenge his former boss. this is pretty remarkable. and once remarkable about it is that often until really january 6th, when we saw the storming of the u. s. capital mike pants was a stop supporter of donald trump. but all of that changed on that day when donald trump tried to convince the supporters that essentially mike pants has the ability

to turn over the results of that i didn't election. and of course, that is not the case. and since then, he has really spent the last 2 and a half years distancing himself from donald trump. and this is further example is that he's now going to try and run against him. he believes he can bring the republican party, which he believes has gone to radical under donald trump, back towards more reagan conservatism. and so uh, this is his goal. he's a very strong christian conservative. he's anti abortion. and he believes these are the values that americans are looking for. so he's just part of the habits of the ring. and we're going to have to watch to see he's got some work cut out for him though, because it's all trumped according to polls isn't lead. followed by look forward to governor of rhonda santas from global diplomacy to domestic politics. kimberly how good master class. thank you. we appreciate the scramble. kimberly, we'll get to talk about that some more in the coming hours or days. i'm sure,

thanks a to access the health care is becoming more and more difficult for people caught up in the fighting incidents capital cartoon. the conflict which began more than a month ago has led to hospital closures, and a shortage of medicine have been morgan reports from car to this is still the university hospital, one of the largest and hospital now barely functioning because of the fighting between the 2. denise army and the power military rapids support forces. like many hospitals, it's run out of basic medical supplies that can help them. and then here's the thing we used to operate to dialysis unit one for adults and another for children which we had to shut down because of a lack of supplies and materials necessary to get dialysis the children onto available anywhere in the country. one much operating rooms are empty, staff said the last procedure was formed on the day the conflict began. the 15th of april. employees are too scared or unable to come to work. and then i should be one

of the month and we call in local and international 8 agencies and shows the organizations to help sit down and especially so, but the hospital hasn't been damaged by the conflict. but there are no medical supplies. school stones is that the only section that's still functional is the adult dialysis unit, but the violence and the lack of money has kept many patients away. i mean, the road to the hospital is not safe, never mind the cost involved from transport to medical fees. i'm forced to spend less money on to would for my children in order to pay for the alice's the sedan doctors. the union says more than 60 percent of the hospitals and had to have shut down since mid april. for a brief ceasefire enables some medical assistance to be brought in, but the continuous finding means they haven't been distributed to all the hospitals . now that the cease fire is officially over. people who need help are worried that even the few functioning hospitals may not be open for much longer. he but morgan

onto the era cartoon us and neighboring shadows, taking in the largest number of refugees from sedan, tens of thousands, same bas robbie has more from the god go refugee camp and shot. well, we're here in the gog a refugee camp in eastern chad. and we were here just a few weeks ago when they were beginning to construct this camp. when they were beginning to populated with temporary shelters and relocating people here to better conditions. and as you can see, it's just mushrooms and exploded the tents and just one section. the mixture of shelters in just this area. go as far as you can see. and this is just one section . every direction you look in. there are similar types of housing and the organizers of this camp tell us they're already at full capacity. 7000 people live here now and they cannot, cannot accept any more. we've seen people sheltering under trees without permanent or temporary shelters,

i should say. and we've seen many communities waiting for some kind of housing to open up here, but the organizers say that there's just too many people to house here. they're going to have to go somewhere else. now that you an estimated that a $100000.00 people would arrive here in about 6 or 7 months now they've hit that mark and exceeded it months ahead of schedule and age groups are now struggling to figure out what to do with the people that still keep coming because of the violence happening across the border into our, for in west star for in and around the main city of ocean. they know the people that are coming here tell us harrowing stories of what they experienced. it took them nearly 20 days $25.00 days, just to escape the violence from their villages, from their homes. they tell stories of men being killed in their sleep, women and children being forced to flee on their own families, being torn apart and looting and killing on an industrial scale by groups of armed men by bandits that are operating unchecked in a security vacuum at the moment training services have resumed at the sides of it

is worst rail disaster in decades, preliminary reports suggest a signalling error cause the crash that killed 275 people. on friday, however, authorities have launched a criminal investigation prime minister and render moody has promised to punish those responsible who make also sharif has more from the regional capital. a bonus for a thousands of families of passengers have been missing since friday all here. they made the journey 200 kilometers from the us already accident took place to prove a nation where you at the old indian institute of medical sciences about 200 bodies have been sent. now there is a process of families identifying the people and then the adult is releasing those, the bodies. so there's a lot of grief, but there's also a lot of anger out here because people are demanding on says they want to accountability june the game is that's another i got to know about them. i haven't seen such a big accident in my life. never one involving 3 trains. this is

a case of negligence. a single problem has resulted in killing so many people who is responsible for this. it doesn't matter if it's a junior or a senior employee. the point is they have killed people on 2 trains. these just chaos across the country. can the government statements bring back the data and the government desk homeless accountability, the railway? minnesota said he left them in the c d i, which is the sensor bureau of investigation, looking into the safe, solving this case, the prime minister said those who are guilty visa both praise the consequences. so the cd a inquiry is yes to begin, but it's also the government and the pressure to give answers because we haven't seen a philosophy of this magnitude in 20. is that how does this have died? not one but sweet frame. so this way colliding into each other and separate families affected by this friday in the nation. well,

let me just see the still ahead on else as you're a week of naval drills with 35 countries in indonesia. despite their political risks. the the, the weather brought to you by visit castle watkins here, worlds weather update will kick this one off with this disturbance cooking up in the arabian sea. some forecast models are putting it toward oman, others, and focused on check back with us. this will certainly be in the headlines over the next few days for now, still at seabreeze in southern bulk. hassan. so correctly at 39, but i think it's going to feel about 45 on tuesday. heat wave alerts and play for eastern india westbank all states and be har, as those temperatures hits or exceed 40 degrees. and here's our monsoon rains

through sri lanka, closing in on the adamant and nika, bar eyelets. now, with a breeze off the enemy and see the gulf of thailand, that's fueling some of the storms that we're seeing right across indo china to china. we go in and update on our seasonal plum rains. they're now shooting out over the east china seas. so this becomes a story for japan specifically to issue island, should cocoa as well, i think it's just going to quit pon shoes. so it could spread some showers in tokyo with a height of 28 degrees. but if we focus back on china, beijing at $35.00, that's a bit above average for this time of the year, back to southeast asia, fairly quiet, but some pulses of rain along the east coast of sinatra island on tuesday. see you later. the weather brought to you by visit the

a but the, [000:00:00;00] the the one thing else is 0 reminder of your headlines in the eastern don't yet. screech in moscow says it has stopped the major ukrainian offensive. authorities say 250 you bring in troops were killed, and 16 tanks destroyed. us secretary of state anthony blinking says,

washington will not let it run, develop nuclear weapons. speaking of the american israel, public affairs committee, lincoln also urge the normalization of relations between saudi arabia and israel. trained services have resumed at the site of india's worst rail disaster in decades, socrates and launched a criminal investigation to the into the crash which kills 275 people. on friday, voters in kuwait are preparing to cast their ballots in the 2nd to parliamentary election in less than a year. kuwait is the only go state with an elected assembly that has the power to challenge the unelected government. however, disputes between n p's and the cabinets have led to a political deadlock. alpha 0 is rob matheson is in to wait city. so rob, you've been educating me on kuwait in politics and the country has held 3 general elections in just over 2 years. why is that number? so normally when we talk about elections and all the

data, we're talking about big issues like economies or a big industrial projects or social issues. this time to wait has all those problems. but it's not talking about any of them, or at least the parliament and the government honest because they have been essentially deadlocked for the past 2 and a half years. that there are a couple of reasons for that. and it's mainly to do with this structure. all of the problem is itself, the parliament has a tremendous amount of authority because of the 1962 constitution of co a which is a very unusual in the golf. it's a very unusual state parks, any parliament in the, in the golf to have why, as much power as this one does into a 2nd thing is that there are 50 seats out of the 65 seats in the fall elements, which are essentially up for grabs here, electrical seats, which means that candidates time, can go through campaigns in order to get voted into those seats. no political

pockets, which means you credit for them with 50 people, all independence, all with their own opinions, all determined to do their own right. 5 their, their constituents but who are also determined to make their position work for them . essentially, that has meant everything as trying to hold as far as to where these are concerned is a little bit like to wait until monday night. there's a lot of blustering holiday or, but actually you get a little light of it. i'm to wait. these are getting very, very tired of continuing having their parliament dissolves more elections. and we're going to be coming to selections which are happening on tuesday here in 2 ways. but we've been finding out a little bit more about all of this for the 2nd time and 11 months, supposing to wait, or hoping to break the deadlock, which has power lies there. government for more than 2 years. analysts say one of the challenges is that there are no political parties and candidates run as independence. coate almost had its official constitution for 70 years.

women had the right to vote almost 18 years. but we still don't have any political parties. we are relying heavily on individuals who we think are good enough to to present us. there is not enough focus on teamwork. photos choose 50 to 65 seats in parliament. the mirror points up to 16 cabinet members. 15 from have seats in the national assembly since 2020, the assembly has been increasingly dominated by members opposed to the government. to try to break the pass in 2022. the crime prints issued a royal decree to dissolve parliament. and the ladies went back to the ballot box in september. but 6 months later, the constitutional court ruled that decree invalid saying it went against the 1962 constitution, which gives significant power to parliament. the court ordered the national

assembly be dissolved and replaced by the one elected in 2020. then in april conference initial law, silva and i was part of it would be desponding for a 2nd time sending to wait ease back to the polls. there is this a feeling of lack of interest. even many politicians running for elections decided not to have permanent campaign headquarters. we have to also realize what saves our democracy is for us to practice our democracy on the streets. there's little sign of active campaigning to wages have told us that they're no longer interested in politics or that they just don't feel that it's going to be relevant for them anymore. but some of them saying that they're very concerned that unless the national assembly can get some sort of consensus and can waits, politics will continue to be deadlocks. and parliament could be dissolved once

again as to why do you say politicians need to start talking about the future of their country. but they're not holding out much hope rop matheson, i'll just 0 toy city. what we're going to be watching tomorrow when we're covering the elections for all just here and here until 8 on tuesday is going to be the turn are there are 793 sizes. registered voters out of a population of 1000000 local media speculating. there may be between 50 and 60 percent of a turn on would you give an indication of just how this interest if people have become in these elections interestingly, candidates to are also becoming more disinterested last year, 3 $107.00 candidates for 50 places in september and those are elections next year, 207 of those. 55, rob, you will be heading our coverage of kuwait selection tomorrow on tuesday separately . i enjoyed your earlier analogy between katy politics and the weather,

so keep them coming. thank you. wrong. the indonesia is hosting a week of naval drills with $35.00 countries taking parts, and those include the us, china and russia. they come at a time of heighten geopolitical tension. but organizers say this is a chance for cooperation between military's jessica washington reports from the island of so that ways the on the engine agent island. as soon as we see hundreds of military personnel from 36 countries gather for a week, if not come back drills, this is the strength from the co operation, which has already been well established with his head. we warmly welcome them and they can enjoy the stability and security of indonesia. the navy's at the us, china, russia, australia, france, and japan are among those participating. it's the 4th time indonesia has hosted this exercise, which focuses on disaster relief and humanitarian operations. the engineers and navy says it's a challenge to promote maritime corporation in the region. the exercises opened

with the fleet review of vessels for most of the participating countries. as the exercise, search and rescue had been where all the countries are gonna simulated. this is happening at a time of heightened attention since russia's invasion of ukraine, but also in increasingly strained us china relationship. they also bring together all the countries with turbulent relations, including india, and focused on experts say disaster relief training is a straightforward way for military's to work together. it isn't focused on what i think it is, what we call a operation other than. so in that sense, it showcases the things that we latrice can do at it also allows militaries to interface with each other to communicate with each other entities or describes its

foreign policy as free and active. experts say the world's 4th most populous nation is increasingly positioning itself as a neutral link for the region. the asia pacific has been a hobb. this military activity in recent months says both the us and china ramping up military diplomacy and engaging in more frequent exercises in the region and the context for influence. this week's drills in indonesia provide a rich hans to work together rather than compete against one another. jessica washington elder 0, like i said, indonesia hearings have begun in a landmark case filed by torres strait islander is accusing the australian government of failing to protect them from climate change to community. elders have launch the action on behalf of people from the boy go and side by islands or that's off mainland australia is northern coast there. they say that low lying islands

will soon be under water because of rising sea levels. torres strait islander say the australian government put their lives at risk by failing to cut emissions and failing to adapt in time. well, for pro like i lose you as long as they were under water. that is very cool. was hybrid and we will have is a better where silos food is a for. yeah. that's why we as a prime minister, you come i see your own eyes. what's happening then it'll tell you what's happening around, sorry, about relieved you're older than the uh is a veteran. can i say that the, your headlines on houses 0. this our, the commander of ukraine's ground forces says his troops or advancing on the russian occupied city of buff. moved footage, released by ukraine's army, appears to show russian positions under fire near the eastern city,

elsewhere in the eastern done. yet scrooge in moscow says it has stopped the major ukrainian offensive authorities say 250 ukrainian troops or killed in 16 tanks
