still pervasive history's anti semitism on this week on d. w ah ah, business dw news live from berlin, joe biden, head to his next stop on his a middle east tour. b u. s. president flies from israel to saudi arabia to attend this summit of arab leaders. but the saudi visit is the most controversial stop on the president's trip. and ronnie albert kramer, cindy is sworn in as free lunches, interim leader, after days of political term, all but protests is joy over the resignation of president. good,

a bye. are russia park? so could be short lived plus russia, target, southern ukraine. several missiles strike 2 universities in mich alive. the port city has come under heavy bombardment and recent debts. add a court sentence as a german soldier to 5 and a half years in prison for plotting a far right taro attack. ah! i've got others welcome to the program. joe biden is heading to saudi arabia to attend a summit of arab leaders. biden will hold talks with saudi crown prince. muhammad could summon it a highly anticipated meeting as a presidential candidate. he had but vowed to treat the saudis as a pariah for their human rights record. it's the next stop on his middle east trip

after visiting israel and the palestinian territories. he stressed his support for a 2 state solution for is well on the palestinians, but added that the ground is not right to restart peace homeless. that ground is listening to award a job right now to say earlier the past, the palestinian people are hurting. now, you feel you can just feeling your grief and frustration in united states. we can feel but we've never give up on the work piece. you know, there must be a political, arises with the power steering people can actually see, or at least feel. we carroll, our hopelessness to seal away the future that show many of worked toward for so long. so even if the ground is not right at this moment, to restart negotiations, united states in my administration will not give up on trying to bring the palestinians, israelis and both sides closer. for more,

they're smaller. have me is with me from d, w. arabic. well, come on now the years present saying he still committed to peace between israel, palestinian. he didn't bring any new piece plan though. what's your main takeaway? i think like that, as he said, he didn't bring a new piece plan because it was just a courtesy visit. i think this was the impression of this was my impression, at least because he did not know that the main target of this visit is definitely not to get a new piece plan. the main target right now is to secure u. s. interests and to curb iran's military actions on plus of course to bring down oil prices and for sure. not to bring a new plan. now jo biden's next stop is sandia ravia, which is arguably the most controversial part of his mid east tour. we have a report that highlights some of the challenges that biden faces in regard this with us diplomacy in saudi arabia not long ago, the former president,

donald trump performing a sword, dance, trump and ministration embraced the country and its crown prince mohammed been selma known as m b yes. that was despite the country's widespread human rights abuses and the murder of dissident journalist jamal cas shoji at the saudi consulate in istanbul. multiple investigations said the order to kalika, sochi must have come from the top, from been some on himself. many world leaders condemned m b s helping in a more new mobile service. that puts president joe biden in a tough spot when he was a candidate, he called for saudi arabia to be treated as a pariah nation. but by needs to address oil prices, which have spiked largely due to russia's war in ukraine, biden also needs the saudis help against us adversary, iran, which is ramping up its nuclear program. washington is pushing the saudis to

cooperate with israel, despite the history of mistrust and conflict against iran. both countries considered hereon and arch foe saudi arabia with its huge oil reserves, has made itself impossible to ignore for decades. it's used its power over energy markets to both hurts and help us. in the 1900 seventy's, the saudis contributed to the u. s. economy tumbling into recession with oil embargoes. but in later decades, the saudis were seen as a dependable partner in providing oil and as an ally in an unfriendly region. then came september 11th, most of the hijackers of the plains that flew into the world trade center and the pentagon, were saudis many with high reaching connections. but washington played it down. this friendly attitude continued. when mohammed been sal, mom took over. he cultivated ties with president trump's family beef,

and trump refused to condemn him for the casualty. murder, lena, joe biden prefers to speak to m b s. his father, king sa, mom, who officially rules the country. but the gang has been ill and has rarely been seen in public in recent years. all that oil and the enormous sums the kingdom has to invest, world wide, keeps saudi arabia irrelevant. and that means dealing directly with whoever's in charge. now when i have the wrong dw arabic is still with me, mona, after the killing of journalist marketo g, joe biden said he would treat saudi arabia as a pariah nation. so what changed? what changed is that in politics, in general, as practical objectives and interests play, the bigger role of course, economy and security, and more important than values and just ideas about human rights. and biden had to acknowledge and be asked that he has defacto in power. and he knows that he can get only his interest through by cooperating was and b s. and i mean he didn't even

mentioned him in the washington post article. this is how he, he's trying to avoid this m. b. i stand for mom had been sama, yes, of course. yes. and yes. so he has the he has noticed that goes, can only be achieved by looking away and from, from the human rights violations. you mentioned the economy or biden want saudi arabia to boost. it's all production to get more oil on the market and drive down prices that way. is that likely to happen? and the opec members announced a boost in production, but the question is, does saudi arabia have enough? this is the main question right now. it failed to meet the quota. there was a, an announcement for july and august and it failed to meet the quota. and it seems like it does not have such production capacity at the moment. and so it, it, and also i think the main, like saudi arabia will defend its own interest if it has an emergency reserves, it will keep it for itself and not give it to the u. s. of course. now let's talk

about iran, a bit of how important a factor is iran and the u. s. israel alliance against tier on here, also with regard to saudi arabia and iran is very important of course, and because they are, there has been said that there's an alliance right now it has been announced by does really defense minister, but it's, it's not really, it hasn't put in it, it wasn't like publish set which can't read participating in it. and, and but, and it has been said to saudi arabia and israel had some, and military trainings together was led by the usa. and, and of course, it is a big roles which countries will participate, but there is a big plan to try to curb the rounds military actions in the future, of course, one after the w arabic. thank you very much for that. inside i went to sri lanka where the search for a new leader begins as former president got

a buy out of parker officially resigned of the fleeing. the country prime minister ronald, became his sanji, who was sworn in as acting president as been nominated by the ruling party to stand in the elections for longer than are waiting for parliament to convene on july 20th to appoint the new president. ronald promising. he has been sworn in as she lunk, us acting president. but he might not stay in office for long. in a special statement, he promised to restore law in order and to crack down on those he called insurgence . here again, murat, they need the ass armina therapy took any i will take immediate steps to establish the rule of law and peace in the country. academia, india. i recognize the right to peacefully protest. lambert summer trying to engage in act sabotaged. crocker and old thar, gardener. massive protest, 1st president go to buy a roger boxer to flee the country and ultimately resigned. oh,

the protest was celebrated the news of his resignation. and now want with promising he had gone as with narrative, with political as with nick slogan, was really running to go home. 2002 of them. essentially nothing changes go diversity and it is a big deal. but ronnie still yeah, and he's in iowa. i'm not bet luca missing a has already caused out on the parliamentary water in which he will stand as his body's candidate for president her. thou art gone, diamond i been, i thought the parliament to eddie. now again, i do put through any reports that other groups are trying to influence members of parliament, head of the vote next week to elected president. so don,

i'm going about that will create an environment for parliamentarian, the un independently express their views out there. you and after the war, it will be several days before she longer gets a new president. while the nation goes through a political up, even the long lines, outside federal stations on getting any shorter to you cry. and now when russian attacks continued to kill civilians in different parts of the country in southern ukraine, 2 universities were hit in mc alive, the regional governor there released this footage of the strikes. he said 10 russian missiles hit early on friday. we pulled say at least 2 people were wounded . he was rescues in itself. ah, continuing to search for people still missing after the missiles strike yesterday. at least $23.00 people were killed and including 3 children. a number of others are in critical condition. that sprint did because we're an expired. so

who joins us from keith. nick, what will, can you tell us about this late latest attack on me, caliph well, the numbers can always change, but you've provided the bullet points there to 10 massage, according to the regional governor to universities and a shopping mall. hit by these miss isles. people killed, if you look at the map make alive is important because it's about a 100 kilometers from odessa, the port city of odessa, which is really the crown jewel for the russians once they take that, they can control all the ukrainian access to the waterways, incompletely and p, their ability to export grain to export anything to have a functioning economy. that's why the battle for make alive and around there is so important for the russian. but once again, an attack which appears to be an attack on civilian infrastructure. it's not clear what has happened. the kremlin typically says they were targeting something else as

happened yesterday, infinity as you were just mentioning it up next by so that in the ukrainian capital . keep franken nick the effects of the war being felt across the globe. ukraine is a major exporter of grain, but russia's invasion means stalks of wheat and corn can't leave the country. grand shortages are pushing up prices, threatening food security in many parts of the world, including including and especially africa. this next report from synagogue was produced by our colleagues from french public tv. no ships from russia or ukraine had all but disappeared from african ports. they were a common sight here before the war, but now they no longer supply the continent with grain. other countries have taken up the slack. this cargo ship loaded with wheat is arriving from argentina. but down is not enough. the people of senegal and other countries on the continent,

fear that prices will sore. this will how much the small one is $0.15. the other $0.30 a year, almost half of the population lives below the poverty line. so every penny is counted. wow, i'm then getting if the price of bread is raised again, it will be very difficult for a sandwich sellers because we already have high prices. the goods are already very expensive. to day a ton of wheat costs more than $450.00 euros. this is twice as much as last here. for the moment, the state of cynical pays the difference. this makes it possible to freeze the price of flour and bread, but this sudden increase worries. the miller's was old read of i get together today . the senegalese baguette is subsidized by the state in the same way as it is in many north african countries. egypt, tunisia, and morocco. but the question is until when it is there not a risk that we will be caught up by the reality of prices. so that's the big

question. so some bakers are trying to find solutions at their level. i'm a do gay, for example, has already changed his recipes, knew about me. this is millet, you take the flower and mix it altogether. over lemonade, in his establishment, he trains his apprentices to make bread with products that are a 100 percent from synagogue. who is it green lock, we must reduce the amount of wheel imported in the lum and replace it with our own serials you. if you go to the coach while there's been young there, bananas and sweet potatoes in nigeria, the same thing. go visit a all these countries there serials that can make bread, but local grain is more expensive than imported. wheat and financial support from the state is needed. if nothing changes with the increase in the price of wheat, the un announces that within the next few months, more than $40000000.00 people could be lacking food in west and central africa.

tom now to have a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines. finance ministers of the g 20 group of nations are gathering and barley for a summit that is overshadowed by the war and ukraine. host in leisure has called for a consensus on tackling, soaring global food and fuel prices. foreign ministers of both russia and ukraine. i expect the to address the summit via video link. the european commission is taking hungry to court over a controversial l g, b, t, q lol. the law ban school material that seen as promoting homosexuality attacks on high ranking, german politicians. and also, if i legally possessing weapons, given that the staff court is convinced that a defendant wanted to commit a politically motivated act of violence, judges my clear that he also harbored a nationalist and right wing extremist angela johnson. i that said is that it is in

the family class escapade border. although the jail sentence was below the more than 6 years that prosecutors had asked for, they called the verdict him major success. it's been dia, quite satisfied with the verdict, despite a lower sentence than the one that we asked why. it is an important success in the fight against right wing extremism racism and anti semitism in germany, deutschland and franco. a said he regretted hoarding the weapons, but has consistently denied planning any attacks for protest standing in front of the courtroom. this is not an isolated case, but a case that shines a light on far right extremism in the german military. for this, i'm now joined by lauren's bloom, toddler from the amato antonio foundation, as an angel that monitors foreign extremist activity in germany. lawrence, what's your reaction to the verdict today?

well, i guess on the one hand, i'm a little relieved, and i mean it's kind of scary to walk into an office everyday that you know about. it happened, spied on by rights terrorist now also acknowledged by the crimes against the state and again, politicians and my boss. so i actually feel a little safer now. but then the other hand, i think that the sentence could have been higher and cannot stop at the moment because i think there are too many open question bill remained to be answered by you mentioned opening the open question. they're sorry. you mentioned the opening open questions. that's interesting. do you think the authorities have done enough to investigate all the circumstances of franco a's activities? not at all. i mean, we have so many open abbey. you follow the case closely. you know that frankly,

for a acknowledge that the best are more weapons that have been in check groups within the german military, whether x change further terra and plot it so called state where they would strike with weapons and kill multiple politicians and all of these connections also, his connections to russia is connection into the b. that's something that still remains to be yeah. result in a way or at least investigative, i think we need a different culture within, within the german military to, to openly address the question. because otherwise, i think it's very hard to trust the german military. if we know, or at least we have to suspect the right networks within the german military. if

this and you don't think this is an isolated case, you think it's a, it's a problem that goes through the whole the forces. yeah, yeah, definitely. i think that was the thing that i was most scared about in the verdict that it would have been treated as just an individual case. another structural problem with the german military. because i mean, due to an amazing research done by german newspapers, we know about to happen about that work out at least 4 different big groups that frank go. a also was a part of that they maps and all of these people they are trained on, on guns, they have access to guns, they prepared safe houses or potential bay x. they hardly box a storage for potential corpses. and yeah,

i think the questions in a way, need to be resolved. i mean, it was clear that that couldn't happen just through this one case. i think it is kind of remarkable that the international attention towards the case and to frank 8 has been much stronger on the interest of the case. thank you very much. lois blumenthal from the, i'm a to, i'm a deal antonio foundation here in germany. thank you. thank you very much. a health warning from the global weather agency. the w. m. o says a heat wave spreading across europe is likely to western app pollution. southern parts of the continent i've been sweltering and temperature is above 40 degrees celsius, with extreme temperatures likely to become more common due to climate change. while spain's biggest cities is changing the way it deals with it's summer weather full

costs. seville in southern spain is no stranger to heat. soon residence will become even more familiar with scorching weather patterns. heat waves here ought to be named just as storms are elsewhere. the city wants to draw attention to the life threatening danger of extreme temperatures driven by climate change. we believe that giving this phenomenon, given these heat waves, a name and a category is the best way for us to do that. and when a heat wave in our methodology reaches a category 3, it receives a name, a category 3 heat wave mains very high health risk to the entire population. the current conditions in spain are ranked as category too. but even that's enough to exacerbate wild fires burning across the country. fire cruise, fear worse is yet to come. look at my mouth, but what worries us most to day is

a southern wind that can move the fire and the rise in temperatures that we are suffering this week. more fires a raging across europe, south, including in portugal, france, croatia, italy and greece. the current hate wave is expected to expand oakley woodpecker scowl has inspired protective materials and helmet design. but these newly discovered rigid qualities could now lead to a new generation of materials resistance to stress. i and that's, it's from me, avenues team here and berlin. stay with us now for news asia with melissa chavez. as always, our website to go to d w dot com. i'm got office in berlin from the other team. thanks. mm. we've gone all out
