>> the united states is not going anywhere. it's come mmitted to that regio >> the president spoke in the plus three summit, saudi arabia, kuwait,egypt, i iraq, jordan, the plus three there. >> near the top of the agenda for biden, the issue of energy production, also security in the region, the war in yemen countering iran and overall of this, also the murder of a washington post journalist. >> reporter: jamal khashoggi clearly very much high on the agenda for the president of the united states. he's trying, though, to turn the page on u.s. relations with saudi arabia right now, which are so important. he wants to strengthen ties with saudi arabia and other countries in the middle east. listen to how he summed up the u.s. role in the region just a little while ago going forward. listen to this.

>> let me state clearly that the united states is going to remain an active engaged partner in the middle east. as the world grows more competitive and the challenges we face more complex, it's only becoming clear to me that how close ly interwoven america is with the successes of the middle east. we will not walk away and leave a vacuum to be filled by china, russia or iran. >> reporter: he also said we will not walk away. president biden's interaction with the saudi crowned prince mohammed bin salman, video shows the president walking with the saudi leader standing by side him during an initial photo of a little while ago. he says he confronted the crowned prince accusing him of being behind "the washington post" columnist jamal khashoggi.

he says the saudi leader known as mbs denied involvement and he was criticized for the so-called fist bump during the first visit with the crowned prince yesterday. the saudi government wasted in time promoting the image on saudi state tv and social media. the president is trying to recover from the gas prices back home. the biden administration says steps saudi arabia is taking will eventually within weeks he says drive down oil prices and provide some relief. our chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins is here with me in saudi arabia following the united states. he's been meeting all morning with the leaders of the gcc, gulf core operation counsel and equipment, jordan and iraq. all these leaders are here and the president is making clear to them he will not leave a vacuum in the middle east region that could be filled, he fears, by

iran, russia or china. >> reporter: and they started to fear it was already being filled and that is really whey you saw u.s. officials drive the president's message on this trip of why they were deciding to come because they obviously were pressed of the political costs of coming and meeting with the saudi crowned prince president biden so widely criticized on the campaign trail and vowed to make a pariah and going from that promise in 2019 to seeing the two of them stand next to each other today for this family photo in the joint session where president biden made his remarks and really laid out his vision for the middle east earlier. it is because of the concern china and russia were making end roads and they were worried about that happening and wanted to step in and fill the vacuum. whether these other countries meeting with president biden today accept that and believe the united states will remain involved remains to be seen because i do think they noticed he had started to shift his attention to china. there are some things that are making it impossible to look away. iran is a huge thing they're discussing today, leader haves a

vested interest in this. one thing that they're split on is how to constrain iran. we saw that on display in israel as the president and prime minister had sharply different views of what to do so those will be issues that will remain going forward. this reset and relations with saudi arabia, what does that look like going forward and does the president embrace the saudi prince as a partner, something he declined to do previously? >> it's hovering over the talks and in israel, he believes diplomacy is the best way to prevent iran from developing a nuclear military capability. they aren't convinced, they think on the a military threat to iran will convince them to slow down the nuclear program. kaitlin, stay with us. i want to bring in susan glasser, cnn global affairs analyst and staff writer for the new yorker and nic robertson the cnn international diplomatic editor. susan, the president addressed last hour and we saw it live on

cnn, he spoke about what he called rebuilding trust and that he said the u.s. is going to remain an active and engaged partner in the middle east. talk a little bit about that. >> yeah, wolf, i think you're right to spotlight that it's about china. it's about russia. it's about a strategic decision by this white house that you can't pivot away from the middle east because it's actually part of a globalized foreign policy right now. i think there used to be this notion that it was a zero sum game in international affairs, if you will. you could look to china and move away from the entanglement of the middle east. this administration sees it as he's in the middle east because of china and the long-term challenges to american leadership around the world. the question, of course, is what is he getting out of this? what does it mean to project american leadership. >> we're talking about very, very increate mental gains so

far and a lot of political pain that biden is absorbing in order to make that statement. >> as a result of the improved relationship with the crowned prince, is that what you're suggesting, susan? >> well, that's certainly part of it. the fist bump, was it really worth it? biden has been so uncomfortable on this trip, right? donald trump came to saudi arabia, they gave him the glowing orb. they had huge photographs of him five stories high on the side of the hotel that he was staying in. he loved it. he was unapologetic. he made it his first visit of his tenure breaking with tradition. joe biden is visibly uncomfortable this is a man after all, promised to have a values based foreign policy. what is the value that america shares with a repress sieve country like saudi arabia, right? has he gotten in return? he's been very uncomfortable even at the notion of linking,

say, saudi progress and opening the world energy supply with this visit and yet, maybe that would have been more politically productive saying here, listen to bring your gas prices down to the pump i'm here but he hasn't wanted to do that. >> interesting. you know, nic, the trip was clearly and you and i have have been coming here to saudi arabia for years. the trip was resetting u.s. relations with saudi arabia. they have been extremely close to the u.s. for 80 years or so. they want to close the diplomatic gap. the president says russia, iran and china are looking to fill the gap if it opens. what do you think? did he accomplish that goal? what does this relationship look like going forward? >> i think it's put back on a better footing. i think there is a positive pathway forward for the u.s. and saudi to develop relationships here. i think that's certainly the

aspiration of the saudis, having got what they wanted out of it and having spoke in the last few minutes to saudi journalists, who is very well connected to the saudi government, he seems to think that the government here is going to be happy with what they heard in the ten-minute speech for president biden. for us, it might have been light on detail but it was the respect for the international laws based order and wanting to work with countries that support and have and respect human rights. that's a message to saudi but others in the region, as well. i think one key clear message, the other points that the president made was that he would not allow a country in the region and again, he didn't name it but everyone around the table knew that it was able to close down the vital waterway from the persian gulf to the rest of the world. they have done that before. and president biden clearly

indicating that that it is iran in the cross hairs here. i think, you know, for the president's take away from this, if he gets the oil that he thinks he'll get and if the saudi response is as positive as the early indications seem to be, then this is a trajectory to do more in the region, which will be vital for not only u.s. national security interests but for those of partners and allies in europe and of course, gas prices being key part of that picture. >> certainly true. kaitlin has a question for susan. >> i wonder based on what nic said, how much did the saudis and mbs get out of the meeting. >> look, they wanted the fish bowl. they wanted this and in someways, biden's uncomfortableness with the

handshake produced an even more favorable result. i don't see to me why a fist bump is a downgrading from a handshake, if anything, it appears to be a more intimate and friendly gesture. so they got that first of all. their leader visually is not a pariah to the united states, he's a fist bumping buddy. he got that number one. number two, i think bringing the u.s. back into the idea of this long term partnership that the united states has had with saudi arabia is very significant. you hear a lot in the saudi rhetoric around this, you know, the decades of engagement and long-term partnership and it's a validation in many ways for the idea that the united states is once again making almost cold war ask choices saying that the war between russia and ukraine is prioritized and it's consequences are so severe that we're going to have to overlook and we're not going to have a

values based foreign policy after all and then of course, the messaging on iran, which wolf and nic have been emphasizing. that's extremely significant to me. the message they're hearing both from israel by the way and saudi arabia is, you know, give up your main hopes of rest reco --r -- rthe deal. >> that's what some of these gulf f sstates have in common. they're not thrilled about reviving that diplomacy to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon. they want action, strong words and the threat of military action, which is the only thing they think can convince the iranians to stop the nuclear program. nic, the president is clearly trying to reset this relationship with saudi arabia and mohammed bin salman, the crowned prince. will human rights be part of the

package when all is said and done? >> it has to be. it has to be for the president to maintain his credibility, he's told the crowned prmohamme bin salman behind closed doors. he's made it clear this is a central plank of countries he wants to deal with. if you will, he's put mbs on notice, you know, don't over step the line again. don't know what that line is. we do know he got asked that very surging question in the press conference last night. president biden asked if there is another killing by mbs is that blood going to be on your hands? and he demurred on that question but he cannot give guarantees but laying out clear warning for saudi arabia. look, this is a big test of mohammed bin salman. he's coming to power and got back standing where he wanted to be. he'll always be tarnished by the killing of jamal khashoggi but

up to him how he acts and how he plays out his vision 2030 to deliver a more economically stable country, a country that diversifies from petroleum prod du -- products into green energy. he wants to do this. that will be the test of mohammed bin salman and president biden laid down guard rails on that. he's in office and telling him what it will take to get the partnership he wants. at the same time, two-edge sword, you know, biden can't lose saudi into the sphere and orbit. it would be a huge loss for the united states. >> it would, indeed. kaitlin, you've been speaking to white house officials, u.s. officials, what are they saying about the fist bump? it's causing a lot of interest out there. >> they really downplayed it and president biden himself

downplayed it. he was asked about the criticism he got for it not just from anyone. it's a publisher of the washington post said he thought the fist bump to susan's point was more intimate than a handshake would have been but the president himself laughed it off when he was dasked about th criticism and the white house says that's not our focus. we're focused what is happening behind closed doors and the meetings and progress but it's an image that will speak with people what that meeting looked like and you hear what he said on the campaign trail and that image, it's hard to square those two things. >> thank you very much. nic robertson, susan glasser, thank you. we're staying on top of the news here in saudi ayrabia but for now, back to boris and kristin. >> the secret service under scrutiny. the january 6th committee issuing a new subpoena to the agency it erase text messages from that day of the riot.

skeptical. i mean, i wouldn't do that. the argument about when the request was made is largely irrelevant. the secret service was aware this was one of the signature events of our country and that there would be a need to preserve all of the evidence because of that and also, there is an obligation for federal agencies to retain records. so this is troubling but they've said they got the texts and the committee intends to get them all asap. >> the inspector general briefed the committee yesterday concerning his investigation of the agency's actions during the attack. and according to a source, the inspector general told the panel that the secret service has not fully cooperated with his probe. he also says that the agency did not conduct its own review of the actions on that day and instead, the agency was relying

on the investigation being conducted by the inspector general's office. >> we have a former secret service agent with us this morning. christopher joins us to share his protective. so we're grateful to have you this morning. the secret service says messages got deleted as part of a device replacement program. they were not backed up. is that standard operating procedure or what do you think of the claims? >> well, first things first, good morning, boris and thank you for having me. i don't want to necessarily speak on what the policies and procedures are of the secret service in reference to the deleting of the text messages because it goes towards their procedures as far as security are concerned, however, i can testify at that time, there was in fact an equipment rollout. i was an agent at that time and there was new equipment that was being pushed out to the agents

of various types. all different types of electronic equipment. that part of the story does coincide with what the secret service is saying. that's at least a good thing for the service and the fact that that part of it is undoubtedly true. >> simultaneously, the inspector general told the committee the secret service has not been fully corporative with this probe. the agency is denying that. how does the service typically approach these kinds of reviews? >> by being forthcoming. as an investigator, i will say that when you're investigating these types of situations, you almost never get the information as quickly and as wholly as you'd like. i don't think that there has been any specific information given where they were holding up information or that they were refusing the inspector aggenera

an opportunity to speak to agents so i want to believe that the secret service is in fact, doing everything they can to provide that information and i think again, it's in the preliminary stages. i think that the giving of information will get better as time proceeds. >> how likely is it you think that actual secret service agents might be testifying before the committee? >> at this point, 100%. it's really not within the secret service's norm to get involved in these types of situations but that said, the members of the service have come out and stated that they will have agents testify and with that, i 100% believe that that is going to take place. >> so i wanted to ask you about this. cnn is reporting this week there was a d.c. police officer that has corroborated to the

committee some of cassidy hutchinson's story about the heated exchange with trump with his detail on january 6th. i'm wondering what you make of that, how significant that is. >> i think very significant. i spoke about this before with ms. hutchinson's testimony and that it was for lack of a better expression, riveting. she makes a very, very good witness. now, that said, she was not in the vehicle at that time and she was testifying to what she had heard. i don't know exactly what this d.c. officer is stating. let's back up further than that. i know members of the d.c. police department. i have the greatest respect for the members of the d.c. police department, for the d.c. department as a whole. i believe that what is being said by them, they believe it to be accurate. that said, as an agent who is inces

investigating cases and a prosecutor prosecuting cases, you always want to go with your best witness and this case, unfortunately, the best witnesses were those who were in that vehicle at that time and as i said before, it's a bad day when the service has to testify in reference to these rumors, but it seems like there is no other way to get to the bottom of this and i think the best witness will be those who were actually in the vehicle, unfortunately. >> we have to leave the conversation there. chri christopher, appreciate your perspective. thank you. >> thank you, boris. desperate pleas for help this morning after an ole miss student disappears. jimmy lee hasn't been seen for a week and details on the search and on going investigation straight ahead.

the father of a missing student from the university of miss mis, jimmie jay lee is pleading for the public's help to find his 20-year-old son that disappeared. >> if anyone knows anything or sees anything, say something. call, contact the law enforcement. just tell them what you know. this is my plea that you help find my child. >> according to police, jimmie jay lee was last seen leaving an apartment complex on the university july 8th. earlier this week authorities were able to find his car but there is no sign of him still. nadya has been following this story and joins us live. nadya, bring us up to speed. what's the latest on this investigation? >> reporter: boris and kristin we heard from police to try to

find jimmie jay lee. that he recovered his car on monday at a different complex somewhere elsewhere he doesn't live two and a half miles or so from his home so they were able to take that car into the mississippi state crime lab and start processing it, looking for fingertips, dna evidence, receipts, something to put a timeline together. this has been an investigation that has stretched across the campus community. so police tell us they've executed about a dozen search warrants and they've also interviewed people on and off campus. what we've been hearing from students and from neighbors of j ish immie lee, look at this statement saying we understand that this may be a very distressing time for members of our campus community and you may feel a need to speak with someone. students that need assistance can access the hand full after ways students could find support

and talk to someone if they need to. his friends say he was a vibrant person and you can tell when you look at his pictures, he lived life out loud. i want you to hear from his neighbor how she's concerned and everyone that knew him is concerned about his disappearance. take a listen. >> they should be alert now if it is a kidnapping because that's unlike him. this is unusual to happen on campus. >> let's get another look at jimmie jay lee to see this person and if you've seen him with hair and makeup, in dresses sometimes he wears. this is jimmie jay lee. 5'7", 120 pounds, black and blonde hair with brown eyes. he was last seen on friday, last friday july 8th leaving his apartment complex on campus wearing a silver robe or house coat, a gold cap and gray slippers. so if you think you saw someone

who matches that description, police are asking you to contact them. boris, kristin, there is a $1,000 reward from crime stoppers for any information that could led police to find him. >> let's hope they find him. thank you so much. new this morning, cnn has learned that a united nations group is investigating that ohio police shooting of jalen walker. you remember of course, walker is that 25-year-old black man that was unarmed when she was shot while running from police after an alleged traffic viol violation. >> on friday an autopsy report released by the medical ex examiner's office revealed he had 46 gunshot entrance wounds or graze injuries. he apparently died because of blood loss from his internal injuries. >> good morning. this information released by the summit county medical examiner's office on friday finalizes some of the early findings i had an

opportunity to review in a preliminary autopsy report in ohio last week. they offer specifics. jalen walker suffered a total of 46 gunshot entrance or bullet graze wounds. not ruling out the possibility that a inksingle bullet could h caused several wounds. among the results, also the toxicology report coming back negative for both drugs and alcohol and also, showed evidence that akron police officers did attempt first aid on june 27th when eight of their officers opened fire shooting and killing walker. there was also an exam that perhaps could have further supported this claim from akron police that they heard a single gunshot coming from inside walker's vehicle during the vehicle pursuit portion of the incident that night. the medical examiner saying that a gunshot residue test was not conducted on walker ea walker's saying the technology is sound

can lead to inconclusive results, false positives or false negatives since the residue can sweat off or be rubbed away. this is the medical examiner on friday explaining why that test was not done on walker's body. >> the fbi lab discontinued gunshot residue testing in 2006. based upon these issues, related to the interpretation and testing and the ease with which these particles can be dislodged from the skin, the medical examiner's office discontinued collecting this in 2015 and no longer purchases the collection kits to be used by our staff. because of this, mr. walker's hands were not swabbed or tested for gunshot residue. >> a representative for the walker family says they retained the service of an independent medical examiner that is currently looking over this final autopsy report and did their own examine nation. the walker family legal team releasing a statement after the final results were released

writing today summit county medical's report on jayland walker's death confirms the violent and unnecessary use of force by the akron police department. the family is devastated by the fin findings of the report and still await a public apology from the police department. the burro of criminal investigation is handling this investigation and will turnover their findings to the attorney general that hopes to present them to a grand jury in the state of ohio to see if criminal charges would be filed. kristin, boris, back to you. >> thank you so much. time is up. that's what top administration officials are telling congress. they say lawmakers need to take action on a semi conductor chip shortage right now or the united states could face serious long term consequences. we'll talk to an expert about it after a quick break. n more powe.

mark, good morning. appreciate having you on. help us understand first, how we got here and how there is a chip shortage and relying on chips from overseas impacts americans. >> well, we used to produce a lot of chips, 30 years ago one of third were produced in the united states but over time, manufacturers moved overseas because it was cheaper and now we only produce ten, maybe 15% of global chips, which is a problem evident in the pandemic, if you go back a year ago, when the delta wave of the virus hit, it knocked out a lot of chip plants in asia and when those chip plants shut down, it shut down a lot of activity. you can see it in the vehicle industry. the vehicle companies couldn't get chips and couldn't produce cars and saw a collapse in inventory. that's a part of why inflation is as high as it is today and the tensions with china have intensified in recent years,

which is a really big deal because the chinese produce a lot of chips and taijuan also is a massive producer of chips and obviously, a lot of risk there given the relationship with the china and taijuan. so a lot of risk there. we have to get it back in the united states. i agree with the commerce secretary. we need to get this passed. >> what do the stakes say if congress goes into the august recess without passing this bill? >> well, that's a big mistake. you have a lot of -- the good news is you have a lot of makers from intel, the biggest from taijuan semi conductor, the largest chip producer in the world saying they'll build factories here, chip factories here if that piece of legislation is passed. if it's not passed, that puts in jeopardy those plans and the longer it takes congress to pass this, the longer it takes us to address this issue and by the

way, long -- there is a long lag between when you start a chip plant and when you finish a chip plant. it's years. we need to get going here. so big stakes here. it's really important that lawmakers get it together and sign on the dotted line. >> you mentioned this has the chip shortage had an impact on inflation. long-term is getting an increase in domestic chip supply and domestic chip production, would that have an effect on inflation? >> absolutely. we wouldn't be in this situation if there is disruptions to the supply chains. it may not be a pandemic but it could be a lot of different things. so what we learned in the pandemic was the supply chains are very long. they're not very resilient distresses and we need to bring them in. particularly for things like chips, which are a critical or everything that we consume from

smart phones to refrigerators to medical devices and national security, jet fighters, the javelin missiles in ukraine are loaded with chips. so this is a national security issue that's become very clear during the pandemic that we got to bring some production here back at home because this is an economic and a national security issue. >> mark, quickly before we let you go, a lot of pressure on congress before the recess because they're not only looking at this but only the reconciliation bill senator joe manchin of west virginia dealt another blow to at least in the sense that the biden administration had very broad aspirations for that. do you think that's something that gets passed? >> one thing that has to get done is funding for the subsides for health insurance through the affordable care act. if they can't come up with that, 13 million americans will see

their health insurance premiums go up or they're going to lose the insurance all together because they simply can't afford it and that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. particularly in the context of this very high inflation that we're suffering through particularly lower income households that rely on those health insurance subsidies. i think something will get through but obviously, you know, very slimmed down comparison at this point in time, which is a shame. i think a lot of things being discussed in the previous forms of this legislation would have been very helpful for climate change and other economic issues that we face. >> got to leave the conversation there. mark, appreciate your expertise. thanks. >> sure thing. next up, extreme heat blanketing europe. the devastating temperatures sparking wildfires and leading to dozens of deaths. we have much more on that, plus, your weekend forecast here in the united states. next. what do you mean? these straps are mind-blowing! they collect hundreds of data points like hrv and rem sleep,

one of the most intense heat waves on record is unfolding across western europe with deadly consequences in spain. officials believe at least 84 people have died in spain since this dangerous weather began. temperatures in the southern and western regions of the country have soared to nearly 113 degrees this week, nearly record levels and the extreme heat sparking multiple wildfires across that country. this is spain's second heat wave in less than a month, and temperatures are expected to rise throughout the day. let's bring in cnn meteorologist allison chinchar, live in the cnn weather center for us. allison, it looks like spain is going to get a break after this weekend. >> they are. but it may only last a day, and that's the big concern they are right back up there with those increasing temperatures. they will drop back into the 90s

on monday, but back into triple digits on tuesday. madrid dropping back into the 90s on tuesday before they return to the triple digits or 40 degrees celsius once they get later into the weekend. for cities like paris and london, it's going to not only get warmer this weekend, but continue to warm as we go into next week. the special concern here for areas of the uk because they could end up breaking their all time temperature record which is 101 degrees, which was set back in july of 2019. london's forecast for monday is 101 degrees, so they are going to get awfully close to that record. the concern here is that less h than 5% of the population of england actually has air-conditioning in their homes. back home, closer to the u.s., we have heat alerts out. the orange color here, heat advisories in the central u.s. and out towards the west, we have excessive heat watches and warnings as temperatures are expected to remain well above where they normally would be this time of year. dallas, oklahoma city and san antonio all expected to remain

in the triple digits for at least the next five days. here's the thing, the eastern half of the country has had temperatures close to normal the last few days. that all goes away, once the heat spreads to the east in the coming days. chicago, near 80 on sunday. back to the 90s by the time we get to tuesday. st. louis, indianapolis, making it back into the 90s. the only relief in sight, guys, is in the form of showers and thunderstorms, likely to hit the gulf coast and areas of the central u.s. as well. we know you'll be tracking them for us, allison chinchar, thank you so much. before we let you go this hour, we have a quick programming note. cnn's united shades of america begins tomorrow with a special episode. here's a preview. before you start making fun of appalachians eating squirrel, this is not an every day meal anymore. squirrel is how they teach new

bee bees to hunt. this is for me, welcome to the family. >> there you go. >> give it a shot. >> make sure you don't get some buck shot. >> no buck shot. >> thank you. >> i think it passed. i think it passed. you have to have a lot of skills. that's what i'm starting to learn living out here. >> necessity is a good teacher. >> there were no deer, the only thing that my dad taught us how to hunt was squirrels and rehabilitates. >> a succulent of united shades of america airs tomorrow night at 10:00 p.m. right here on cnn. don't go anywhere, smerconish is up next, but then we're back in a moment. >> succulent, you thought the squirrel was succulent. >> i'd try some, would you? >> maybe, if i was desperate. we'll see you guys in an hour.
