a holocaust victims. after 2 days the jerusalem, the u. s. president will then go to the occupied westbank that palestinian lead up mahmoud abbas is expected to voice his concern over israeli settlements. the president's final and most controversial stop will be in saudi arabia, where containing iran increasing all production and human rights are on his agenda . and his opening remarks the president spoke about his goal of helping israel to further integrate into the middle east and community of states will continue to advance as well as integration of the region, expand emerging farms and engagement like the know i to you to summit which will bring israel, the united states, the u, a together, and india as well. to deepen our economic cooperation between the middle east and in a pacific greater pace. greater stability,

greater connection is critical, is critical. why my ad, for all the people of the region. toby speaking then i am now joined from jerusalem by the w correspondent, tanya creamer, she's at the holocaust memorial and the young of sham tanya. and how important is this visit to your classrooms? is it just a routine stop or more than just symbolic? why don't think it is a routine as stop for any president to come here? i mean, it is largely ceremonial. it will take part in a memorial service. he will also meet with 2 holocaust survivors here that was important to him. if you could hear and see that it is important for him just right after lending and his comments, he actually spoke about how his family taught him, how he was taught, how important is a to never forget or what happened to never forget the holocaust. and to be

a witness to that. and it's also key component in his administration's policies. and he also said that again, that is so important to combat anti semitism and extremism around the world. and just, you know, before the president arrived here, i talked to the chairman of yet for sam, danny diane, he said to me, it is, of course, very important to have a personality like you as president like to biden, to come here and to talk about our fighting unto semitism, i was seeing live pictures there from the ceremony. idea question that with joe biden, what is 5 know going to achieve with this trip to israel? i think there several components add to this trip on the one hand, of course there, the bilateral issues, it was very important for both sides that a joe biden comes to is, well, of course, as a,

a time of transition here. once again, that was of course not plans because there will be elections in november in israel, on the other hand, as a lot of talk about the integration of israel in the region because the region has really changed in the last couple of years since last time. mister biden was here as vice president then under barack obama or more countries have actually signed a piece agreements or normalization agreements or with israel. and there's a hope in israel that there will be a push for that to deepen that. there's talk about a defense alliance, although in former one of course, 1st and foremost against a common threat that it's perceived to have fun. i, yvonne and also there's the hope from the israeli side that there will be some kind of push or some hint or towards a personal with her possibly saudi arabia. but u. s. officials had also said and lead up to this visit that there shouldn't be too

many high expectations for a breakthrough here. now was the reaction in israel to joe, but i think this is chester the 1st day and yeah, seeing and hearing there the memorial service in yet fashion. so are people, you know, one to see what he has to say on thursday as a whole day of meetings among our political leaders on friday he will be then traveling onwards to meet with palestinian leaders in the occupied territories. so i think people understand, you know, many of this is also symbolic, but it's always very important to have the u. s. president are coming into town on the time in jerusalem forest. thank you. tony from the washington, i'm now joined bar correspondence. michel ella kula mikaela. tell us more about the background of the us israel relations. what has changed since

u. s. president biden took office? well, certainly what hasn't changed is a very deep commitment present. biden, describe this as bone, deep upon arrival, and israel's prime minister le pete spoke of a friend and ally coming. israel's president said he came as a brother. so it reaffirms that a commitment. there will be security talks also about the iron b projects. so clearly both sides engaging in defense but also in future technology, but biden arrives as he is under pressure back home. the polling isn't looking that great, although it's slightly on the way up. even his own democrats don't, with the majority of them, according to pulling, don't want to see him run again as president, and he felt the need to explain why he's heading into the region particular to saudi arabia. he wants to reduce risks,

he wants to tackle inflation also through this trip to the middle east, and for that he needs to deliver stability and clearly also with the message that he will indeed still stand for us to state solution in the future. although he himself recognized upon revival that that is some time still in the future of reaffirming his commitment to israel. now, top ishall is of course, iran's nuclear program. walker and washington promise its allies, israel and saudi arabia. well set the m, he must not promise too much. he has been adamant that particularly when m meeting saudi arabia's crown prince m b s. as he is known, he would talk about human rights. everybody is osman selves, whether they will indeed be a handshake there. how close the united states will allow themselves to be positioned alongside saudi arabia. but this is a lot about iran,

the broken iran nuclear deal which us present donald trump cooled off that was seen as a way by joe biden as well a to rein in iranian influence. and there's a concern that iran, it could team up with rossa. and china, so there's a lot of geo political thinking behind this very trip at which wants to see the u. s. demonstrate that yes indeed. it is back on the international scene. a lot of question marks after the pull out the disasters pull out and out of afghanistan, and that it will not just provide stability, but also through those potential new allies, always alongside israel, a counterweight at to russia and china looking towards the into pacific as well. jayla cooper in washington for us. thank you to sri lanka

now where prime minister ronnie of vic ramirez since a declared state of emergency he ordered security forces to restore order. protesters in colombo, have been storming government buildings, including the pm's office. demonstrators are calling for his resignation, and that of president got our by our roger parker who fled the country before he was due to hand in his resignation. protestors blame him and his long ruling family force relock us worst economic crisis in decades. ah, shanker is on the brink of change it people's uprising has ended a family dynasties long group on bar after the president, sudden departure. and we protest does have now done that focus on the prime minister, who's now be acting president on the camera, avi, his at that they have been informed by the president an audi. but the goal that

since the president is out of the country, he has a point, a prime minister, i ronald mckinney, must become a sink, a grandma under the constitution, but call up to carry out his duties and much rightfully strike to dispose of the protesters with yogas, but the people are not going anywhere just yet. many a camp at the presidential palace immediately while the president's house and the prime minister's residence are maintained by tax money. who knew this is a great opportunity for people to see these buildings. because the people did not understand when they were talking, i thought maybe for them in at them, and it's only now they realized the luxurious lives of children that they had paid for with tax money or whether the demonstrations have been taking place across the capital city. of colombo for my now, the 1st follow that is the most prominent is

a great, a task come through speak now cation to realize the follow up with the pros. gammas, the island nation is facing its worst economic crisis since his independence. 1948 . but with public trust and the political last running critically though it's not, you will automatically dig the country out of financial ruin. dw correspondence manero chandry is in the for lack of capital and asked her about, protest is breaking into the prime minister's office earlier today. they were 100, the projectors were stormed into the prime minister's office on his evidence, demanding his resignation, bid number, the system, the security code for the also a get shelling,

but eventually they were able to force their way around the same time. b m agency was also announced basically, a nationwide indefinite emergency was announced in the western problems in the country under which colombo may be a standing right now, also thumb, but also at the emergency room, dickie. i'd be, haven't seen any dramatic increase in the presence of your people to feel that are still hundreds and thousands of productive behind me and trying to get them to check with the military take sides, or can we expect a to maybe well, there is no indication of any such thing happening yet, in fact, there have been reports of the prime minister having formed a committee with the commanders also to take care of the law in order situations. now the speaker of parliament says he expects the president's resignation letter today. will that satisfy demonstrate? is that well,

it definitely will. that is what people have been waiting for this morning for the weekend. it was reported that the president would, america will submit a final destination to the speaker on wednesday, but he'll be all coming on with you at the end of the day. but we haven't seen that official method yet, but do many, it also seems like this to pull man, if you, because prime minister it has already been declared as the acting president in the app. so, so go to very roger bucks up, which is also a lot of doubt among people because the questioning is legitimacy when it comes to acting president, especially when it comes to announcing the image in fee. because people have not seen the official recognition that i get no talk about the humanitarian crisis in sri lanka right now. explain to us how bad is it? well, in patient and under, i forward you going to rise in the past few months. confusion has gone about 50 percent and there are reports that i studied,

that if you get much was in the coming months, making it very difficult for people to afford some basic needs to be with life. a local can got to not even available that much, whatever it is available for people are not coded. people are not able to afford medicine. it's evidently not enough for transport sector as well, whether it's the buses or friends or even medical people because it's all the people i've been using. open jobs, i've been using now to let them do that when you're free. thank you very much. money or shank. human rights activists. rookie fernando travelled, 100 miles on saturday to be part of those protests earlier, asked him about how he feels about the situation in the country right now. it's from the extra much for her because of the human is that the people's uprising as a team. but it also a lot of fear and i'm 2nd, be immediate about whether there will be some kind of

a scene. at least 3 locations in columbus has been used to me and you've seen before, people being subject to being people, being of the people are race and maybe some inclination and media. but of course, in the long term, there's a lot of here about because i believe, you know, it's like you put the same question to you that a put correspondent, money or earlier other fears that the military could take sides or take matters into their own hands. in the past, we've seen the military shooting at work that has happened in when people are demanding clean drinking laga, you just happen often in the non, during the wall. the military has been accused study pretty well. everything you know about on somebody, you know, very serious crime. so there's a lot of fear that the military should injure and practice on the piece.

so do you think also from the us point of view, we're looking at more violence as well, so far by and large have been very peaceful. but i think the very great danger that i serious violence, i'm used to be by the stand by the police or by the people or, you know, people not just people who are as ordinary people, we gets very angry and we might end in chaos. so they have a great been that the stand violence, as they have been trying to do to be me and also on the 9th. so we might be some really chaotic situation. now what needs to happen to have real change in sri lanka really needed thing of course, is that the president must or formerly resigned, topping that the service is going to span president as a media media division and competent people professionals who are paid by public

money so it's really amazing that he wants to make it public, most of the people, australia and got to the speaker without using the media. the vision. and the speaker has been talking about when i was supposed to speak to day one. and i was seeing that finally standing appointed of that thing president and later saying that the president beat the resignation later to be during the course of to be so we don't don't know even whether to believe the speaker or not of the talking is company. but at the same time, i think in the long term, of course, we need the economic recovery. the need found long term economy policies, particularly in dealing. but also the need will be going on. the policy is the, the blow and the most marginalized and the operators at the heart of the, not just investors, not just the market being the priority. at the same time, you also need to recover democracy. democracy has been really damaged constitutionally and legally, but also in practice. an important part of democracy is to the how numerical

minorities are treated. so any long term progress, it must include how we deal with the conflict, what metro cities, and also the economic problems that you've been pacing more recently. tonight's activists lucas amanda speaking to us from colombo, little earlier. now the war ukraine has disrupted global food supplies, delegations from ukraine and russia, met in turkey to discuss resuming gran export from black c ports, including odessa. the us has proposed safe corridors through the see to get the grain out stockpile stuck in ukraine. of course, global prices to rise sharply, making food less affordable. alexander chuck's warehouse should be empty and ready for the new harvest. instead, it's full to the rafters with wheat from last year, stuck here because of russia's war. those grew, there are ukrainian grain cannot enter the international market now because our

hosts are not working. the c route was the most important thing because of this, the demand for grain decrease report was measure sir, that the harvest won't wait and the grain keeps piling up, even as the farmers run out of space for it. an estimated 22000000 tons of grain is stuck in ukraine. some of it is stored in silos like these in the port of odessa waiting for export. before the war, 90 percent of ukraine's grain was exported via ports on the black sea, but helped by territorial gains. russia is now blockading those ports, and keith has laid minds across the black sea to defend its coast. the u. n. is proposing safe corridors through the sea to get the grain out and avert a global food crisis to result opening for her. i don't see that the agreement form

was, will sort and it feels to, if ukrainian farmers will not survive rule and be able to feed to african conscious known as the bread basket of the world. ukraine is a top global exporter of crops, like wheat, barley, and corn. with the harvest stuck inside ukraine, t supplies are missing, and prices worldwide have shut up. the u. n says a solution must be found urgently to avoid starvation on an unprecedented scale. doran jonas is in is double for us, asked him how close we are to a breakthrough in achieving an export agreement. so the block c, while it does appear, the ukraine, is the most optimistic on the 4 parties. in fact, the un secretary general tonia gutierrez on to say, said there is still some way to go before any agreement can be achieved, and that is similar,

sent him who've been hearing from turkish officials and also russia has been probably the most coolest. so far as they are seen, as the ones that need really need to be one over are to secure any deal. but having said all of that, the fact that these talks have now gone on for several hours longer than previous talks. it does appear that they are discussing something, possibly hammering out a framework where that could come into immediate effect of all size could sign off to an agreement or but we're still waiting. so what are the main obstacles for a deal? well, it is a very complex arrangement. you have the whole idea of how you will remove minds from these port, how these corridors will work, how will you address russian concerns or any of the ships at a gurgling the take the gert, ukrainian grain, alt smuggling armed into ukraine. but i think the key obstacles are that facing a question of trust. basically, ukraine doesn't trust russia, that if it removes its minds at russia, won't launch major attacks thickly on the crucial port of odessa. russia said that

he will guarantee it will not do this, but that is seen as little offering little or a hope for ukraine. they want to have possibly 3rd parties to provide some kind of protection rush rules that out. and the other key factor is also international sanctions. moscow has linked to any kind of deal to the lifting or at least eating hot international sanctions. washington which is in the forefront of imposing sanctions, have been very clear until now. they said there will be no eating of restrictions or sanctions on russia. this is seen is also a key obstacle and will fuel concerns and fears, up mosque with possibly using that the danger of a will through crisis to force washington's hand and the rest internet community, the easiest crippling sanctions on russia. now turkey is hosting these talks who side as president, ad wall? well talk, you always insist said it is an honest broker. it's taking a balanced approach. i has one, the reasons why tokin says is not enforcing international sanctions. president, one does have very good relationship. both the ukranian president and his russian

counterpart vladimir putin. ah, an earth one says he really, he's the only person and turkey the only person that could at least provide some facilitating roles. some if not mediation walter in this conflict, or at least so you come to a solution to solve this world looming world food crisis. and the fact that turkeys again, hosting talks with both ukrainian or russian official will under scroll turkey's important role, despite growing misgivings, among many of its western allies of possibly turkeys, exploiting its position of not enforcing sanctions. possibly they've been accusations of it in legally importing stolen, ukrainian grain, which turkey tonight and possible financial sanction busting. but the fact that turkey still playing with pivotal diplomatic role will go some way to silence that criticism. and that role will be fervor, underlined by the fact that president earth one will be sitting down with vladimir putin next week in tehran. dorian johnson assemble there for us. many thanks. darren and some sports news. golfs oldest tournament guest on the way. on

thursday, the open championship at the famed st. andrew's golf course in scotland as controversy this time due to a recently established series back by saudi arabia. it has caused division among offers which with some choosing money over tradition. it's gulf. but not as we know it the live series bankrolled by saudi arabia held its 2nd ever event earlier this month. staggering prize money of $4000000.00 went to winner. brandon grace, he is not at the open, but other big name rebels who have defected to the new tour are still eligible to compete this week. australian greg norman twice when the open. but he is now the face of live and was band from the champions dinner ahead of the start at st. andrews. one golfing great has been moved, the split reg norman's and i kind of became
