he bumps iss with mohammed been salmon. the crown prince into fact alida, up until now biden had refused to speak to him over the murder of over the murder of journalists, jamarcus shoji in 2018. u. s. intelligence is the crown prince approved the killing of his mum. that has set off a storm of criticism. u. s. president joe biden. hell talks with saudi crown. prince mom had been sell man. a man, he once promised to make a prior over the murder of us best john list jamal kush oak g. kush oak g fiance reacted to the meeting with the to eat. seeing the blood of the princess next week to the u. s. pasadena has counted the criticism. thank you. breathe here . respect to the murder of kush yogi, i raise it at the top of the median, make it clear what i thought of it in time. and when i think of it now, he basically said that here he was not personally responsible for it. i finally

came on was he said he was not personally responsible for it and he took action against those who were responsible human rights groups waddy, that this is far from enough. now, saudi arabia has never been a rights respecting country if there were gonna 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. the leaders discussions ranged from regional security to clean energy initiatives. but saudi oil is being seen as the driving factor here, especially if it can replace russian supplies on the global market. the main reason for preston biden's visit to saudi arabia is to attend the gathering of leaders of 9 countries from the gulf cooperation council. but the meeting that was set to draw the more scrutiny has already taken place. earlier i spoke to our

correspondent caroline, at she, moya, in washington. and i asked her, what biden's interactions with the saudi crowns of crown prince se about his policy towards the kingdom? well to her the, and these kind of visits between world leaders are normally carefully choreographed towards the final press. of course, the conferences and the joint statements of both parties. so we can definitely say that this is very much about the uptake. some say it was just a fist bomb and that, that is different to and take a shake. the truth is that this doesn't matter of the fact is that what we're seeing here is a big big you turn in biden's foreign policy and it's a real, a re calibration of his relationship to saudi arabia. the prince and the president of the united states had a meeting that last with more than 2 hours, and this is also part of this image, and of this change that we're seeing. and all of this is happening after president biden said, during his presidential campaign, we are going to make them pay. meaning the princess rabbit and the prince and his

country, they are going to see the fact that they are a paranoia. so now he is saying a couple of the contrary that this trip is all about promoting us interests, especially in economic terms, but also in security terms. ok, you've talked about a re calibration of this relationship. the us ties to saudi arabia have always centered on oil. what is biden hoping to achieve on that front? opinions are quite invited on this, and most experts agree that saudi arabia might indeed start producing more oil. however, senior diplomat from saudi arabia, just as said during an interview a few minutes ago, that's are you ready? i will not start producing more and without consulting the opec plus countries. and that sort of urea seeks to ensure market ability that, that is all they want the group opec plaza. they have a meeting on the 3rd of august and it's still what president biden said after the

meeting with the prince. regarding the increasing m. o protection was let's look and see what happens in a couple of weeks. so probably we're going to have to wait for that meeting. okay, so we wait a couple of weeks said that the white house is citing. this trip is evidence of warming ties between israel and saudi arabia. what can you tell us about the president biden said it to day that saudi arabia's decision to allow an israeli airlines to use. and it's aerospace can really help to build a momentum towards israel for their integration in the region. but some say, this is more wishful thinking, sorry, arabia has made clear quite often, that they only see a 2 state solution as the only way to get closer to israel. and although it is true that this decision marks the 1st time saudi arabia has allowed unlimited use of its aerospace by israel, m to flight, to and from the country. it is also very unlikely that president biden's 1st visit

is going to change this difficult relation between saudi arabia and israel. were talking about 2 countries here that have never established diplomatic relations. that's how correspondent carolina cima in washington. caroline, i thank you. is a quick look now at some of the other stories making news around the world today, sri lanka is prime minister run neil big premier singer has been sworn in as a caretaker president and meet an economic and political crisis. it follows the resignation of god by russia. potter who fled the country. parliament is due to approve a new president. next week a german court has sentence an army officer to 5 and a half years in prison for planning a terrorist attack. prosecutor saying the officer paused at the syrian refugee and plotted to attack multiple high ranking politicians. the case shot the nation stood a debate about right wing radicalism in the german military and autopsy shows

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 their traditional artillery is really taking a very heavy hit with this new important weaponry. that was d. w correspondent, nic spicer, reporting there from keys. a large part of the southwest in europe had been baking under sweltering temperatures for a 5th the day. it's the 2nd heat wave in some weeks for southern spines, france and portugal with the hates barking wildfires. which have forced thousands to evacuate holidays have been ruined as well. in britain normally, much cooler,

it's pricing for extreme heat in the coming days. it's not the kind of thing you hope to see on holiday smoke from world fires caused by scorching temperatures. just a stone's throw from the beach. but that's the reality. inter molina, mia, monica, southern, spain. and it's not just here for the north in extreme madura fires have been burning for days, destroying thousands of hector's and forcing residence to evacuate, including here in the village of la, missed us. we've got 5 minutes to get out and leave everything we have. i'm worried i'm looking after 3 grand children, much of neighboring portugal is sweltering to with temperatures in the forty's celsius and climbing. here to wildfires have destroyed large swathes of land affecting thousands of people. this man fled his home in the central lay, re a region as flames approached. though it was becoming really intent so over here.
