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 largely speaking. i think, you know, this meeting is clearly it is a clear indication that that strategy. hm. all but failed. unfortunately, the geopolitical realities of needing to find the energy security and the security of energy prices as a prevailed over human rights concentration. since 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 rush, i'm bated ukraine and we have introduced sanctions on russian energy. we basically have had at 10000000 barrels a day, large oil 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 menu in the corner of france, 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 old producers, including russia, they will do that. they will push themselves and the 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

a little bit down stream. and he said it was, you know, a very dangerous situation, because of course, you can't fire back when you could set off a nuclear disaster like of chernobyl scale, but even bigger than the head of the international atomic energy agency also came under attack with the ukrainian minister saying that if the end of the, pardon me, he wasn't doing enough to get in there. and he was playing a balancing act between russia and ukraine, ukrainians. lexi, the russians out of the plant. the russians say they're defending it. they're saying there's nothing to defend that nobody wants to blow that plant up or, or we all die. however, the russians are still there. the head of the i. e. a has responded by saying they want to get in, but they simply can't under the current conditions. tito, you corresponded, nik spicer. they're in keith. in football transfer news barn unit has agreed to allow striker robert levin dusky to join barcelona, according to that's according to multiple sources than dusky is at the joint.

barcelona after barne accepted the spanish clubs most recent proposal, a multi year deal worth of to 50000000 euros byron had been adamant that levin dusky would have to remain in munich until his contract expired. in summer 2023. several weeks ago, levin dusky let it be known via social media that his days at barn munich were over . well for more on the 11 dove ski at transfer saga is chris harrington from d w sports i prescott, you. so this, it looks like it's happening, but robert levin dusky reported to our training earlier this week in barn. right? yes, he did a that it didn't go well. i was surprised to see him show up because the reports were parcel and had already submitted the offers to bar music, but barn had been refusing just to even sit down at the table because they weren't happy at the number with the number. but levin dos yeah, he showed up there, but he didn't really talk to the head coach, not a good sign. the only exchange

a few words with leon garaged those of the reports. but there were some other reports off the pitch issues. the fan base bar had been reportedly threatening the family 11 dorothy because his back and forth saga, you know, he drew a line in the sand when he publicly met, let it know, let it be, know that his area barn was over. so i think it was, as you know, a matter of time before barn actually saw a number they liked, but it was bad. anyways, you never want to keep a star that's disgruntled in your lock room because obviously to contaminate to other players. so it looks like this uppercase now. well, it doesn't indeed. so where does this leave bar munich fan crash because i've seen 11 dos. give you such an important part of the t. yeah, levin, dusky, you know, obviously leaving huge boots to be fair, but far munich, pulled off a miraculous, a qu to many people's opinions. they signed sally of money, you know, in his prime 30 is all coming from the premier league. he's won everything he's actually let the league and scorn at one point in the premier league. i think he's going to add to the versatility it by munich. you know,

that's one thing. levin dos. he didn't really jail with julian. i guzman, he's going into his 2nd year, but sadie, my ne, a lot more versatile. in other players, i think another positive thing. sears dinar bri, extended his contract. that was also a question mark. so i think a lot of pieces they have to figure out how they can jail, but no levin dorski, i think, guarantees a more competitive but as they give season should be plenty of sad faces in unit compared to happy ones in barcelona. tito gave cress harrington. thanks. thank you . before we go, australia's most famous building has put the finishing touches on its 10 year renovation. the sydney opera house has unveiled its upgraded concert hall. it's the final stage and the refurbishment of the world. heritage listed site costing just over 200000000 euros. the old concert hall was criticized for its poor acoustics. and here's a brief taste of what it's like now. oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
