shamile shop. g biden bumped fists with mohammed bin salman after long refusing to speak to him after hedgehog gee, was killed in a saudi consulate in 2018 of this ma'am, 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 you once promised to make a prior over the murder of us based john list? jamal kush oak g casual. geez fiance reacted to the meeting with the tweet. seeing the blood of the princess next victim is on biden's hands. the u. s. president has countered the criticism. thank you for being here. respect to the murder of cr shogi. i rated at the top of the meeting, making it clear what i thought of at the time. and when i think of it now, he basically said that he, he, he was not personally responsible for it. i finally came in, i 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 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. 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. well, what do biden's interactions with the saudi crown prince say about his policy

towards the kingdom? that's where i asked chintz. he a bianco, a visiting fellow at the european council on foreign relations here in blue. well, that relationship between the 2 countries is rather strained at the moment, and the fact that the u. s. president has decided to make the crime principle because of the killing of general shoji is one of the reasons why the reasons include the fact that the u. s has been taking steps back from its traditional role is a security guarantor for saudi arabia and for regional security. more logically speaking, i think, you know, this meeting is clearly a, it is a clear indication that that strategy. hm. but failed. unfortunately, the geopolitical realities of needing to find the energy security and the security of energy prices as a prevail the over human rights considerations. ginger,

you just mentioned that their energy now the u. s. ties with saudi arabia have essentially been centered on oil. so what is president biden hoping to achieve on the front? so i'm since russian, i invaded ukraine and we have introduced sanctions on russian energy. we basically have had at 10000000 barrels a large hole in the market. and that is the energy prices being out of control as we know. so watts then the buyer, various western leaders including us, president biden, but also borders. johnson, u. k, former prime minister and president money when the funds have done to sort of ease that time. supply is asking saudi arabia to pump more oil in order to balance that supply and demand question, and the saudis, the so far have refused to and since february they have refused all calls in these . and so what the president biden hopes to achieve is that on the 3rd of august,

when saudi arabia meets with the other own producers, including russia, they will, they will push themselves other producers to pump more oil at the end of august, there, by using the situation from the 1st of september, cynthia bianco, a visiting fellow at the european council on foreign relations. thank you. thank you very much. let's take a look at some more stories making use around the world. the israel army has released a video of an air strike on what it says was a hamas weapons producing site in the gaza strip. the military side. it responded to rockets fired from the territory towards southern israel. that happened on the day you as president joe biden met palestinian leader with us before heading to saudi arabia. an autopsy shows that a black man killed by police in the us state of ohio last month was shot $46.00 times jail,

and walker was gunned down by 8 officers after he tried to run following a minor traffic violation. the incident is triggered weeks of protests. a german court has sentenced an army officer to 5 and a half years in prison. for planning a terrorist attack, prosecutor say the officer posed as a syrian refugee and plotted to attack multiple high ranking politicians. the case shocked the nation and stirred a debate about right wing radicalism in the german military. parliament in sri lanka has begun the process of choosing a successor to deposed president to go to a buyer. roger packer, the chamber will be selecting a new leader to serve the rest of russia access term after he fled the country on wednesday. following mass protests, the next president will urgently need to tackle shoreline because economic crisis, people are struggling with shortages of many basic necessities, like food, fuel medicine and fertilizer. well for more on that we're

joined by i'm beka, sat coon and tan, a human rights lawyer and former commissioner of the human rights commission of sri lanka. welcome to d, w. so for you as a human rights lawyer, what would be the most urgent challenges for a new president to tackle? but i think before we get to the challenges that is important, dont the parliament elects the person who has the public trust and also legitimacy . right now it appears that the person who might be elected is the current acting president ronald become a thing, how did not even when is the to parliament i'm against, who is premier ship that has been a lot of opposition. so i think public trust and legitimacy, he is, the new president, easy to go ahead with economic recovery because political stability is important

and we're not going to get that. if the new president does, doesn't have public support. that said, 3 things the new president would have to do and to take forward is abolishing of the executive presidency. the law that allows them to call out the armed forces to maintain law in order that would have to be rescinded. i'd not re issued and finally election a very clear plan to ford elections as soon as practically possible is the way out of this in. so how would people actually react if the interim presence of the former prime minister actually goes into power? i think the public are already very concerned about it. you can see that in the protest, you can see back in social media, and if he is elected that would lead to the protest continuing that would lead to pension that would lead to more conflict and a lot of public opposition, which would create or exacerbate the existing instability between be really con,

focus on the important issues like solving the konami crisis and dealing with the basic needs of the people who have been such a good man suffering. let's talk about the former president and he and his family have been blamed for mismanaging the country. they are there been allegations of war crimes and corruption? would it not have been better if the president didn't flee the country? well, if the president, by president me, any of the presidents had remained in the country that would have created more in stability as it is. i think the presence of the roger foxes continued presence means continued instability because they are a very effective opposition. and that aim is to get back into power. plus the history of the criminal justice system in sri lanka does not inspire confidence, particularly in relation to holding those responsible for human rights violations,

accountable. so perhaps in universal jurisdiction is wildly widely used now increasingly used days, perhaps a better chance of holding him accountable. outside the country. done in sight. beka, sa, conan, aton, former commissioner of the human rights commission, of sure lanka, and a human rights floor. thanks for joining us on d. w. thank you. an official at ukraine's nuclear agency says russia is using a captured nuclear power plant to store weapons and attack targets. that's as the authorities in the city of n e t. s a 4 year old girl was among the casualties of a russian missile strike on thursday. the attack killed at least 23 people. ukrainians are also sifting through the damage in the southern city of mich alive, authorities there say at least 2 people were injured by russian air strikes.
