the leader biden had refused to speak to him until now using the crown prince of serious human rights abuses bought by the needs the saudis helped to bring down all prices and is now looking to once again repair relations. 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 so mom 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 kalika, so she must have come from the top from been some on himself. many world leaders condemned m b s helping in a more the more 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 spite largely due to russia's war in ukraine. biden also needs the saudi's 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 consider tehran 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 hurt 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, and trump refused to condemn him for the casualty. murder, you know, joe biden prefers to speak to m b s. his father, king salmon, who officially rules the country. but the king has been ill and has rarely been seen in public in recent years. all that oil and the enormous psalms, the kingdom has to invest, world wide, keeps saudi arabia irrelevant. and that means dealing directly with whoever's in charge earlier and spoke to mona hefley from d w. arabic. i also what caused the change in biden's approach to saudi arabia after calling it a pariah nation. what changed is that and politics in general are 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 the 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 goals can only be achieved by looking away and of from, from the human rights violations. you mentioned the economy or burden, 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 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, 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 them said the 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, when i have the w arabic, thank you very much for that. inside the search for a new lead up against telecom, the former president got a buyer. raja park so officially resigned off the flea, the country prime minister running a wick reminiscing jay who was sworn in as acting president as been nominated by the ruling party to stand in the elections. shenanigans are now waiting for parliament to convene on july 20th to appoint the new president. ronald look 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 . if our game or are they need the us army, stop executive, 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
