jobs for job number 2 years really pretty crazy and 14 years or like hannah is my 1st down washington dc might present biden's re election campaign very much up and running. what's been his main message at today's riley in philadelphia, a full while he's made very clear, is the framework for what will be a link the campaigns go to come. and that is that he's going to base whose campaign on the record of his administration, while it's being an office, in particular, it's economic record. it's all about what joe biden called by the nomics. he spent much of the speech extolling the virtues of his administration with regard to the economy, pointing to the fact that unemployment is that a 50 year. lo, that is, administration has created tens of thousands of jobs. and this is going to be very
10:11 pm
much his message in the months to come. it was significant that his 1st campaign rally was held before union workers. this is the absolute bedrock office campaign, and i need 24 hours ago. some major unions endorsed biden's candidacy. this a rand move given that the election is still a 17 months away, but by didn't making very clear that he's going to focus laser like on the performance of this administration. now some polls indicates that many americans do not think that he's done a good job economically. but finding a new stop appear to believe that they can come to this by pointing to what he's administration has achieved. and that is what he did in the course of the speech and that he's what he is going to be doing in the months. so campaigning still to come from washington dc. mike had a house or other top story, the south saudi arabia's farm and it's the is in iran,
10:12 pm
on an official visit is the latest and a series of major steps towards normalizing relations between the 2 nations office is decades even of tension 5. so been $400.00 is the medium is running counterparts . are saying, i mean i'm the law he on into ron. saudi arabia is really funny. it's embassy that which closed 7 years ago. also jabari has more from tao on the 5 they've been far. hon is the 1st saudi foreign minister to visit iran in 17 years. of course, iran hasn't had diplomatic relations with saudi arabia since 2016. that's when the demonstrators that were protesting the execution of a she a clarity storm, the saudi embassy here and to her on. and that's when we decided to sever all diplomatic ties. now, in march aging, managed to broker a deal between the 2 sides that saw them open to negotiations and reach a deal that well was that saw them resuming diplomatic relations. and that's what
10:13 pm
the saudi foreign minister was doing in toronto on saturday, did to foreign ministers, adamant that they want to move forward. and the relationship between the 2 countries, of course, it are on saudi arabia, has been on the opposing sides in various conflicts in the region, mainly syria, young men, as well as the tensions in lebanon and iraq. now they want to put all that behind them. now, as the ranges are also looking to expand their economic traits with saudi arabia, they're looking to increase the currents $15000000.00 a year and investments between or on saudi to $1000000000.00 a year. the saudi foreign ministers also met with the ringing president at bringing bracy where he's extended an invitation for a right you see to visit, re add. for now, the scene is a positive step, but there's so many who believe that there is a long way to go, given the position that salary radio has taken when it comes to iran. and also the
10:14 pm
fact that saudi arabia has the best relationship with the united states, which iran does not. whether or not is the government will be able to manage this balancing act and maintain relations with both countries arranged to be seen. but for now, the rep for small between the 2 countries is seen as a positive step forward, not only for the 2 sides and also for countries in these higher regions door. so safari out to 0 to hong. so have for you on the program. we look back at the life and legacy of one of history's at best known whistle blowers, daniel ellsberg. the man behind the pentagon papers has died at the age of 92. the holloway often say 2 fine days and the thunder store makes up the purchase sama what we've had in some pots more than

10:17 pm
welcome back. a quick recap of the main stories that thousands of student e civilians affiliating to neighboring chad desperate to escape escalating fighting in the west style full region. they describe the vines as they've experienced at the hands of on groups and the regional capital, l janina. at least a 1000 people have been killed there in the past months alone. soldiers in west and you guys are a hunting members of an armed group who attacked a school killing at least 41 people. many of them children. it happened, and upon the way it just seemed columbus is from the forward. but the democratic republic of congo, uganda and police blamed the attack on the allied democratic forces and found you, right? this phone minister is in iran or an official visits. it's flights as a series of major steps towards normalizing relations between the 2 nations, to he is of tension. saudi right the as we alternates embassy that which closed 7
10:18 pm
years ago, a revised joins us now. he's the director of the wrong project to the international crisis. group, he joins as fi, skype from most scott in online. thank you for joining us. so this, this reconciliation that we have seen now for many months. is it a bit more of an agreement not to escalate tensions any further than a significant breakthrough? let's say, i think it's a return to establish, go and to marionette, as the basically returned to the pre 2016 when saudi arabia cut off its diplomatic relations with iran. meaning that the 2 countries are still going to remain strategic rivals. they're still going to a major differences, but they will have diplomatic relations and they will have means of containing their differences so that it does not come to blow in the way that it did in the summer of 2019. when there were attacks,
10:19 pm
backs by iran are committed by iran on saturday energy infrastructure. this is going to shield off saudi arabia from future tensions either between iran and the golf or between ron in the united states is the economic dimension of this, perhaps a stronger or more of an incentive then the total resolution of, of the many political, historical issues between these 2 countries, this is an unrealistic incentive in the sense that there is no way that saudi arabia would be able to significant the invest in iran, as long as us sanctions remain in place on iran is today the most sanctions country in the world. and given that mohammed been solomon's que priority is fulfilling his vision for a saudi economic development until 2030. it is very hard to imagine that society, private sector, and even uh,
10:20 pm
so the public sector would take the risk of being penalized by the united states in order to engage in serious business later on. but i suppose it in given the crown prince and the us is priority at developing his own country. it would certainly help for that to be an easing of tensions in syria, lebanon, but particularly in yemen, if, if that can be, feel themselves headed towards the saudi arabia. and that would be a big advantage for the kingdom. the absolutely, i think for saudi arabia, human is a matter of internal security security, not just the foreign policy issue. and this understand with iran for short has led to the escalation with the who sees and could potentially help saudi arabia extracted. so from the conflict in human, it doesn't mean a peaceful settlement of the war,
10:21 pm
but it could potentially to get on saudi arabia to shield itself off of the conflict in yemen. as is the case with other proxy complex that saudi arabia and iran have engaged in uh, in the past few years. so overall, i think is good news for the region. but again, it doesn't really mean a donovan. you a totally different relationship between your, on its outing, right. it doesn't, and i mean also just as we might see these tensions easing but tween to around and re add, we see very much the reverse between iran and israel just as there is this anticipation of increasing normalization between saudi arabian israel. so this could put a result in a, in a difficult, complicated position to but i think the prospect of savvy israel normalization is a, is quite unlikely in the near future. but in any case, i think one of the incentives for the saudis to try to normalize relations with
10:22 pm
iran was precisely to get themselves out of the line of fire because they see the dark clouds gathering in terms that are on tensions with israel. and they've seen this movie before in 2019, when attention throws a significant do with washington. and the saudis basically became collateral damage . and the rockies have already done this. they've normalized with ron and they've been able to get themselves out of the line of fire and the saudis pursued the same model and the saudi part of mr. visited there on demonstrates that the normalization is on track. and it is expected that the president of iran would soon visits out of your area. and in that sense, i think the project of normalization is on track to succeed. and just a quick one out of how significant is it that this is happening without any sort of contribution from washington. and could that be implications for the relationship
10:23 pm
between tyrone and washington and nuclear program? well, i think washington has nothing against this kind of the escalation in the region as services own interest. and that's why this is happening. the fact that china broke into steel, i don't think means a fundamentally different jo change of order in the region because the us remains the hedge them on in this part of the world. and it's ministry. power in this region cannot be compared to china. is ministry presence? the same with security guarantees, insurance as the china just cannot compete with. thank you very much. i revise that and must get along. thank you. holly. bye pleasure. i did want to bring you some breaking news now about so don, the country's warring factions, the army, and their opponents. the the rapids support forces have agreed. now to a new ceasefire. it's going to last for 72 hours. we receive this information from
10:24 pm
a joint statement released by the united states and saudi arabia. they've been brokering communication and the city of jet that they say the truth will take effect from sunday at 0600 local time. this is the latest of several shaky si size that have been out since the conflict began in april. most of them have been violated. the last one did bring some reprieve, but it is desperately needed in order for that to be more humanitarian aid to the population. and sit down that needs to be some kind of a truce and agreement to at least allow for that a to get to people who need to bring him on that a bit later. but also following other stories, as our delegation of african leaders have met with the russian present in the prison and told him that the war and ukraine has to have an end. 7 mind party led by south have been present, wrote so around

10:26 pm
indeed that is how from internal conflicts from regional conflicts. so trying to find ways out of civil wars on, across the border, conflicts that they might be able to come out with that kind of creative pulled out of the box solutions. now we've got a, i, b as these are kind of the plans and initiatives i thought was going to be on disabled all put in the same as they would put the city on the table. is it in scale of this uh, crisis, this global price is, is multi layer of that sense. that's why that's, that's what, that's what makes it very complicated. the americans to europe and the chinese everyone is trying to have that on say on it's on. it's not, it doesn't seem to us has to be, it's going to be solved as soon as we know that's all for the guy itself is being impacted by that. yeah. and that's why it has a gen, a genuine, a reason to try to initiate on to present this initiative to
10:27 pm
the. busy the president of the ukraine on and rush up in order to find a way because the flip chart teachers are now freaked out right now is the strategic threats. and that's why today the presidents on the does of the african continent. so trying the best to use and leverage, they think they have, whether on the russian side, on the western side, in order to reach a solution to one of the world's best known whistle blowers has died at the age of 92. daniel ellsberg release the pentagon papers in the early 19 seventy's revealing how us administrations repeatedly lied about the vietnam war. he spent 60 years speaking out against the use of nuclear weapons and was arrested move a 90 times for his activism. michael apple looked back at his life. that's what the 1st amendment is about. he was famous, the described as the most dangerous man in america for the knowledge,

10:29 pm
in the landmark routing, the us supreme court dismissed els books case and upheld the right to the media. to publish the documents of the persecution of whistle blowers had big guns. i identify very strongly with edward snowden and with chelsea man. and when chelsea manning said to her informant, she was ready to go to prison for life or even be executed. quote, to get all this information, i thought i haven't heard anyone else say that for 40 years. that's why i felt when pointing 69 and 1971. in the late 19 fifties, ellsberg was the brains behind america's top secret operational plan for all loud nuclear wall, with china and the soviet union. he held onto those classified documents for 50 years on the releasing them in 2021. keep assistance, the question, the motives behind war, something to decades of fighting and of gun it's done. and the war in ukraine rises
