could be short lived. russia targets southern ukraine. several missiles strike 2 universities in mich alive. the port city has come under heavy bombardment in recent days. plus a court sentences, a german soldier to 5 and a half years in prison for plotting a fall rides. tara tar ah, i'm gabelle. furs welcome to the program. you as president joe biden has just landed in saudi arabia on a highly anticipated bus controversial visit. watching live footage here from a jetta biden is preparing to attend a summit of arab leaders, but his visit will be a delicate dance. he has condemned saudi arabia's de facto leader conference bahamas been summon for human rights abuses,

but now biden needs the saudis help to bring down oil prices. we'll cross again live to saudi arabia shortly. but 1st we have this report. this with us diplomacy in saudi arabia not long ago, former president donald trump performing a sword dance. trump and his administration embraced the country and his crown prince mohammed bin selma, known as and 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 kill her, so she must have come from the top. from been salmon himself. many world leaders condemned m b s. austin in the morning. that puts president joe biden in a tough spot when he was a candidate, he called for saudi arabia to be treated as a per ryan nation. but by needs to address oil

prices, which have spite largely due to russia's war in ukraine. biden also needs the saudi's help against us adversary, iran, which is wrapping 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 an 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 hurt and help us in the 1970 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 ben sal mom took over. he cultivated ties. president trump's family and trump refused to condemn him for the casualty. murder, joe biden prefers to speak to m. b. s. his father. king samar, who officially real as the country. but the king has been ill, and has rarely been seen in public and recent years. all that oil and the enormous psalms, the kingdom has to invest worldwide, keep saudi arabia irrelevant. and that means dealing directly with whoever's in charge. earlier i spoke to a 2 am on a happening from w arabic and i asked her what caused the change in by this approach to saudi arabia after calling it a pariah nation. what changed is that and politics in general,

a practical objectives and interests play the bigger role of course, economy and security are 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'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 irv from, from the human rights violations. you mentioned the economy or bible 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 such area does not have such production capacity at the moment. and so it, it, and also i think the mean 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 us. 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, it has been announced by there's really defense minister, but it's, it's not really, it hasn't put in it. it wasn't like publish set, which countries are read participating in it and, but it has been said to saudi arabia and israel had some and military trainings together with led by the usa. and of course, it plays a big role which countries will participate, but there is

a big plan to try to curb the rounds military actions in the future. of course, we'll have to w arabic. thank you very much for that. inside the search for a new leader begins intra lancaster. a former president got a by our raj. a park so officially resigned off the fleeing. the country prime minister ronelle became a century who was sworn in as acting president as been also nominated by the ruling party to stand in the elections. 3 lincolns are now waiting for parliament to convene to on july 20th to appoint the new president. ronald wicker, mussing, 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 are game or are they need the us army? stop it. okay. i will take immediate steps to establish the rule of law and peace

in the country. academia i recognize the right to peacefully protest. lambert summer trying to engage in act sabotaged. crocker anto, saginaw, massive protests, fullest president. going to buy a raja bucks out to feed the country and ultimately resign. ah, the protestant celebrated the news of his resignation. and now one with promising he had gone as with the goal is made. so nick slogan was really running to go home to 1000. essentially nothing changes go daddy and it is a big thing. but ranika and he's in iowa and i not met luca mussing. it has already caused out on the parliamentary water in which he will

stand as his body's candidate for president. thou art gone, diamond? i've been at the parliament ready now again, i do. but do any reports that other groups are trying to influence members of parliament, head of the vote next week to elected president? so with on, i'm going about i will create an environment for parliamentarian, the un independently express their views, my dear 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 and for more we are now joined by journalist anya, we will santa, who is in colombo on it. will this provisional change of presidents come down the protests? oh, well, a right now it doesn't seem, shall i just because i got, i mean, i, japan lanka, and seem that they are really satisfied. i don't want to renovate grimacing,

who they think is also a working re garage boxes. going to now you are in the colombo that. how are the locals? they are receiving the news that burger single actually continues to remain in the halls of par. yeah, that's right. so when i spoke to some of the people in here in colombo, most of them were very happy that they actually told that they actually think that we are going to be right back to god that the economy will be better now. and that they can go back to their old lives. in fact, a mother that i spoke to, she said that she would like to see her children going back to school. that's because for weeks, students have not gone to school. so they want a sense of normalcy. and they believe a going, and then of course, they also want to come to see how to go to and then things will somehow come down

to me. now roger parker has fled the country as we've heard. but there are accusations of war crimes are over his head as well. what all these accusations and how important is it to hold them accountable for it? well, even when he was a, you know, conflicting at the elections, people knew that he had, you know, these criminal offenses, these walk crimes against a still overwhelming the majority watch it for you. it's just because of the economic crisis that people have like, you know, turned in a way against their differences. but it is essential that we hold him accountable for l. christ that he's done in terms of, you know, killing innocent people. what would you do to what time, and then even killing journalists. so it is extremely important that ride the buses are held accountable for what they've done. our department is also being held

responsible for driving for longer into economic crisis. can the interim government turn things around quickly? well, today i do need to speak with her missing a said that they are trying to do things so that they will really get, they probably back on track. actually asked people to work with him. and they had meetings also, but well, i think before, before an election is done, new president elected they, it will be really hard for the government to do anything because people, the people, the politicians are really divided right now. so until an election comes, i don't think we have the issue, ricky, assurance that things will be fine. journalists on the we put us in our reporting from a colombo there for us. thank you. russian

attacks in ukraine continued to kill civilians in different parts of the country and southern ukraine. 2 universities were hit in mich alive. the regional governor released this footage of the striped seats, said 10 russian missiles hit. early on friday reports say at least 2 people were wounded. meanwhile, rescuers in minutes um are continuing to search for people still missing after a missile strike yesterday, at least 23 people were killed, including 3 children, a number of others are in critical condition. earlier we spoke to our correspondent exparza in kiff. he told us more about the attack on mc alive. ah, well, the numbers can always chase where you 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 are completely in 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 thinking, nick, now the effects of this wall are being felt across the globe. ukraine is a major exposure of grain, but russia's invasion means stocks 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, and especially in africa. this next report from senegal was produced by our colleagues from french public tv. lose ships from russia or ukraine have all but disappeared from african ports. they were a common sight here before the war, but now they no longer supplied 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 the getting to 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, that to day a ton of wheat costs more than 450 euros. this is twice as much as last here. for the moment, the state of synagogue pays the difference. this makes it possible to freeze the price of flour and bread, but this sudden increase worries. the miller's was older, i get to sit together today. the senegalese baguette is subsidized by the state in the same way as it is in many north african countries. egypt, denisia, and morocco. but the question is until when 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 imagine gay, for example, has already changed his recipes. by me. this is millet, you take the flour 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 had read luck. we must reduce the amount of weebly imported in the law and replace it with our own serials you well if you go to the coach while there's man young there, bananas and sweet potatoes in nigeria, the same thing. mystery. all these countries, there are 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. is a quick look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. today . the european commission is taking hungary to court over a controversial l. g. b. teach you law law bands, school material that seen as promoting homosexuality or gender change the government of prime minister victor alban justified the measure as preventing child

abuse. italy is in a political crisis. after prime minister maria drug is resignation was rejected by the president. druggie said he would step down after a key coalition partner. the 5 star movement refused to back a government built doggy survived the no confidence vote despite the rebellion, but said the coalition supporting his government no longer exists. russia space agency says it signed a deal with not sound flights to the international space station. russian cosmonaut will be able to fly on us made spacecraft in exchange for american astronauts using russia sawyers rockets. the deal comes as relations between washington and moscow are at their worst in decades. a german court has sentenced an army officer to 5 and a half years in prison for planning a terrorist attack. prosecute to say the officer posed as

a syrian refugee and targeted multiple politicians. the case shocked germans and stirred up a debate about the depth of right wing radicalism in the country's military. it is the end of one of the most extraordinary cases of far i terrorism in germany. fullness for soldier franco. a has been sentenced to 5 and a half years behind bars, his crime plotting to conduct a terror attack. well posing as a refugee. ah, the court found him guilty of planning attacks on high ranking german politicians. and also if i legally possessing weapons with an artist, that court is convinced that a defendant wanted to commit a politically motivated act of violence. judging my clear that he also harbored a nationalist and right wing extremist adela johnson. i that said his district is in and of anger, class escapade water. although the jail sentence was below the more than 6 years that prosecutors had asked for,

they caught 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 hayes 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. earlier i spoke to lawrence bloom, tyler from the idea antonio foundation, that's an and g o that monitors far right extra mr. activity in germany and asked him what he thought about the courts. verdict, well, i guess on the one hand, i'm a little released. i mean, it's kind of scary to walk into an office every day that you know about it has been

spied on by our rights terrorist and now also acknowledged by the cock and crimes against the state against petitions, my boss. so i actually feel a little safer my skin now, but then the other hand, i think the sentence could have been higher and especially the cannot stop moment. because i think there are too many open questions. it's still remains to be answered by. you mentioned in the open questions that sorry, you mentioned the open 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 and if you follow the case closely, you know that frankly, for them acknowledge that you are more weapons that have been in touch groups

within the german military weather change. further terror plotted 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 was very hard to trust the german military. if we know, or at least we have to suspect right, networks within the german military, it's 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, 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 handle 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. no, yeah. i think the questions in a way, need to be resolved. i mean, it was clear that they couldn't just through this one case. i think it was kind of

remarkable that the international attention towards the case. thank a 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. and our health warning comes from the wells, global weather agency. the world meant to a logical organization says a heat wave county spreading across europe is likely to worse an app pollution. southern parts of the continents have been sweltering in temperatures above 40 degrees celsius, breaking records in thought of spain and portugal, with extreme temperatures likely to become more common due to climate change. one of 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, residents 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 today is
