ah creek national i t c program 2022 to stance in 23 into the night. ah. in weakness no standard is nicholas foundation. ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin to night. the u. s. president, the saudi crown prince and a fist bought you as president arrived today in saudi arabia and offered no handshake. instead, a fist box to the prince that he once bowed to make

a pariah also, coming up to night. russian missiles rain down on the ukrainian city of nikolai, in the central city of benita, russian air strikes have claimed more than 20 lines, and a german officer sentenced to 5 and a half years for plotting a far right terror attack. prosecutor say the former lieutenant posed as a syrian refugee, when he planned attacks on numerous politicians and a stark warning from the world's global weather agency. and this summer's heat wake, the air is dirty and it's getting dirty. ah, i'm brink off to our viewers watching on p b. s in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome you. as president joe biden said that he wanted to make the saudi crown prince, muhammad been selman a pariah after the murder of dissident journalists,

jamal cas shogi back in 2018. but now with oil prices skyrocketing, the president is changing course. and despite heavy criticism, he is now on a diplomatic mission to improve relations with the kingdom. and speaking to the precious a short time ago that he was president, assured the world that he raised the issue of because shogi murder with the crown prince. today, the u. s president polluted jetta immediately following his visit to israel. the fact that saudi arabia was willing to open its air space for a flight from israel is a show of good will biden even called it an historic decision. an important step on the way to a more integrated and stable middle east. the opening of the airspace is being dumped biden's 1st success on the middle east trip. but the difficult part comes now that he is landed in saudi arabia. the decades long partnership between the u.

s. and the saudis hit a snag 4 years ago following the murder of shamarka shock. gee, the journalist was killed by a hit squad in the saudi consulate in istanbul, in the fall of 2018, allegedly on the personal orders of saudi arabia's crown prince. muhammad been some on many think this is plausible. and human rights activists agree. now, saudi arabia has never been a rights respecting country if there were been a country where you could speak freely. but what we've seen in the past 5 years is a total shut down of the space for any public criticism or any hint that you might disagree with the authorities. joe biden promised to hold the saudi leadership accountable for the murder of cas shock, g. but high oil prices are forcing him to rethink this promise. the u. s. one, saudi oil to replace russian supplies on the global market and react as an ally against iran. and you, when i took the day to day,

i think is to correct the course of this relationship to re enable this relationship again to restore the historical strategic partnership between beyond and washington, which i didn't. biden's negotiating partner is the crown prince. although he is only 36 years old, he's already the de facto ruler of saudi arabia, because his 86 year old father is in poor health and stays out of the public eye. so that you, as president will whole talks with muhammad been some on, not because he wants to, but because he has no choice. earlier i spoke to william wexler, he is a senior director of the middle east programs at the atlantic council. i asked him if he agreed that joe biden had no choice but to hold torps with the sold the crown prince. there was really no choice, huh. person about is making the right decision here at the united states and saudi arabia have too many interests and comma to,

to allow their relationship to be strained forever. the only question was, when and in what context would a reset of the relationship of happens. what we see now is president biden taking the step to reset the relationship a step that probably wouldn't have happened if not for the russian invasion of ukraine, the resulting sanctions and the, the amount of russian oil taken off the markets. human rights groups are, are quick to say that there is really no difference between russian president vladimir putin and the saudi crown prince. a, both of these men seem to be accountable to no one. democracies are not working in their countries and they're both responsible for waging war against innocent civilians. so why is the u. s. choosing to have negotiations with the crown prince . all this they, there are, there are a number of similarities as you describe, but there's also of course,

incredible to similarities. russia under booting does everything that it possibly can to undermine the world order that the united states um supports that allows for the prosperity that we've enjoyed over. ready last number of decades and saudi arabia does everything they can to support the projection of american power. and to support us interests largely. doesn't mean that there are significant differences between the united states and saudi arabia. but what american presidents have concluded ever since franklin roosevelt is that the shared interests outweigh those differences and on the way to manage those differences most effectively. it's a privately, between france, mr weiss, or what do you think? wouldn't it just be more honest? and perhaps even easier for you as presidents, if they were to stop doing what we've seen since f d r, don't try to tie human rights to foreign policy when you're dealing with saudi

arabia. wouldn't that be the easier way? and the, the more honest way to go about it. oh, if you are just count human rights altogether, it would also, oh that would, that would also be against us interests. united states stands for human rights, united 6 as pushes human rights. but the question is, what is the most effective way of doing so in the context of a country like saudi arabia, what we've found over the years is that there are places where we can make improvements on the margins. ah, but we are less likely to do so. if we are not engaged with the country where your mikes are, with the atlanta counselors director, we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. russian missiles again pounded the southern ukrainian city of mich alive on friday, injuring at least 2 people. meanwhile, rescue crews continued to search for survivors in the central city of the needs. at

least 23 people. there have been confirmed dead killed by russian cruise missiles and that includes 3 children. plumes of smoke rising to the sky above ukraine's southern city of mac alive. it's been the target of russian missile strikes and recent days, causing powerful explosions on the ground cause completely burnt out and covered in debris. rescue teens continue to put out the flames and set through the rubble looking for any signs of life. this area is home to 2 of the cities biggest universities. the buildings took a direct hit, much of it destroyed and beyond repair. in the central town of vanessia, hundreds of kilometers to the west and far from the front lines. residents are reeling from a russian attack on thursday. many people were killed and injured. down

all night recording to updates. we understand that there were 3 rockets that had here. previously, experts round fragments of 3 rocket engines. 2 missiles were shot down in the miniature region by our air defense forces, ukrainian or 30 say the strike was carried out with russia's high precision caliber missile. accusing moscow of the liberty targeting civilians. acclaim russia denies emergency teams comb through the rubble, looking for missing loved ones. the targets here, a medical center, a concert hall and a park where mothers would take their children. in the 4 year old lisa who has down syndrome was one of the victims who lost her life. doctors fear that her mother who's in the hospital in critical condition, won't make it if they tell her, the news is the message. yes, if we tell louisa's mother now that her daughter has died,

there will be no chance of her being released from hospital as the death toll rises and many tried to come to terms with their loss in ukraine. people embracing for further attacks in the coming days. earlier i spoke to our correspondent expire in keith, and he spoke to me about the significance of mc alive in russia's invasion of ukraine. o nikolai was about 230 kilometers south, where i'm sending in a 10100 kilometers to the east of the crown jewel of the russian campaign, which is that port city of odessa, the biggest port in ukraine, the port from which the greater part of ukrainian wheat and goods are shipped out when you take that port, you basically paralyzed ukrainian economy. of course it can send things on trains and trucks and into the rest of europe, but it completely changes the configuration of the economy. so that's why the

fighting is so intense there, but there's fight back from the ukrainians in the area with particularly with these high mars american rocket systems that are doing very precise and very devastating work on russian ammunition depots. and perhaps one of the reasons why we're seeing these strikes on civilian targets is hard to get in to the mind of the kremlin in the russian generals. is that 3rd traditional artillery is really taking a very heavy head with this new imported weaponry. and we know that russia continues to insist that it's only targeting ukrainian military infrastructure course. that's not the case. the attack this week on the city of the needs is another example. so do we know what is russia's offensive strategy right now? well, president zalinski says it's terror. the point of striking a civilian targets intentionally or not is zalesky a vision,

an attempt to sort of cow the ukrainian population for many ukrainians i've talked to. all it does is make them while despise the russians. more or less, he has a 93 percent approval rating. it doesn't seem to be causing any change in how ukrainian steal about striking a piece deal with russia. the great majority of ukrainians think they're on the path to victory. so the actual strategy of the russians is difficult to ascertain, but striking civilian targets, whether you intend to or not with such regularity is in the formulation of human rights people at the united nations, a war crime. and nick, i've had to tell you this war is now also about food. i'm talking about ukrainian grain. it's one of the world's largest exporters of it. these exports have not been taking place because it's been impossible to actually get access to the grain and to get it out of the country to places such as africa. what's the status to night of negotiations to change their well,

there's apparently new hope of that part of a desert comes into play here as well. there were talks earlier this week in turkey and antonio terrace, the united nations secretary general said he hope that next week there could be some sort of finalized deal things that they need to figure out as well. how do you get ships in to, let's say, for a desa, when all of the access ways are completely mind, the russian still want ships that are coming in to be delivering weapons to the ukrainians, that's their fear. and the ukrainians fear that if they take away the minds than the russians can bring about an amphibious invasion. so there's a lot of work to be done. a lot of trust to be built built into this and some foreign powers, france and britain may have to be involved in order to guarantee that the shipments take place without any if at any gun play taking place d, w 's, nick spicer there in the ukrainian capital, nick, thank you. we, ukraine is a major exporter of green as we were saying, but russia's invasion, it means stocks of wheat and corn cannot leave the country. grand shortages are

pushing a prices threatening food security in many parts of the world, including africa. this next report from cynical, was produced by french public tv. ah, 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 sor, oh 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 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 today 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 older, i get to sit together today. the senegalese baguette is subsidized by the state in the same way as it is, and many north african countries, egypt, denisia, 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. amante's 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 has a green lock. we must reduce the amount of wheel imported in the lump and replace it with our own serials you. if you go to the coach while there's man young there, bananas and sweet potatoes in nigeria, the same thing, go visit a, 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. well, here's a quick look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. the search for a new leader is beginning and sri lanka. prime minister renelle victrum, singer, has been sworn in as a caretaker, president, amid and economic and political crisis. it follows the resignation of go to buy a project poxel, he fled the country. parliament is due to appoint

a new president. next week, russia space agency and nasa have signed a deal on joint flights to the international space station of this is a rare example of cooperation between washington and moscow since the invasion of ukraine nasa astronaut, we'll go back to using russian saw use rockets and russian cosmonaut will be able to fly on us made spacecraft, us basketball star brittany griner has made her 4th appearance in a russian court. the olympic gold medalist has pled guilty to carry vape cartridges containing cannabis oil. her lawyer say that the oil was prescribed by her doctors, if convicted on drug possession charges greiner could face up to 10 years. in prison. a german court had sentenced an army officer to 5 and a half years in prison for planning a terrorist attack. prosecutor say that the officer posed as a syrian refugee and targeted several high ranking politicians. the case shocked

germany and stirred a debate about the depth of right wing radicalism inside the country's military. it is the end of one of the most extraordinary cases of far right 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 ult off i legally possessing weapons. even at the stuff 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 adela johnson. i that said his district is in the family clack escapade water. although the jail sentence was below the more than 6 years that prosecutors had asked for,

they caught the verdict and 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. earlier i spoke to helga lint, he's a member of the german parliament for the governing social democrats. and i asked him for his reaction to today's verdict. well, we always have to be careful concerning judgment, but i think it's a very necessary, but it's just one step. it's not

a solution to kind of mental problem, but it was a good decision from my point of view where you same fundamental problem. what does this case then tell us about the threat from far right wing terrorism here in germany, particularly inside the military? well, i think we have to think in networks, not just in a single person, and we know that frankly a was a member of a number of check groups that he had some relation there. suspect about relations of right wing extremists networks like hannibal units or so we find out how right we extra minute try to infiltrate the, the police, the military and basic organizations of the state. i think this is their target. they feel attracted by the military and we have to find out and we haven't

found out yet. what miss lynn, do you think this is the case of the military being infiltrated, or is it more a case of the military being a nest of sympathizers? well, i think it's both. i think there are strategies to get into the army. and on the other hand, there are some circumstances which enable people and to make people more sensitive to extremist thoughts. this is also tara tarion conditions. this is the idea of you in the form of strengths of male behavior. so long traditions. but that's also a strategy in the right wing, part of germany to get into the police and into the army. and this comes at a time when germany is about to inject a 100000000000 euros into its armed forces. are you satisfied with what is being

done right now inside the military to deal with and to get rid of far right extremism? well, to take an example, there are people who have doubts about goals. we have a little british open at the moment, but my idea is not to feel bit off, but to make goals less every terry in a more democratic. so the, on the con, the, we stop the army, we need the army, but we need that kind of mentally, democratic army. so we have to strengthen all these democratic forces and all the control mechanisms inside the army. so that also tara tarion traditions, right thing, traditions have no chance. and then we detect problematic person in the very beginning and this 100000000000 euros that's being rejected. i mean, this is unprecedented for the military. is that a good thing when we're talking about trying to purge the military of

a far right threat? well, it's neither good nor bad in this relationship, it depends on us. i think it was a right decision because of the situation with the night to rush and all this. it was not the result of a domestic situation but of the foreign relations. but we have to support it with the democratic culture inside our army. we need citizens. democratic says that citizens inside the army, so that the army is not, of course of extreme, a thought, but a force of democratic thinking and baby and german parliament. terry and helga led . mister lind is always we appreciate your time in your insights tonight. thank you . thank you. well, large parts of south western europe have been banking under sweltering temperatures for a 5th day running. it's the 2nd heat wave in weeks for southern france,
