yeah, i want to say rehabilitating bush. alice does that. what they're doing? a couple of arabic countries in the early did not did not to cut 3 nations with the regime the last 12 years up to countries did that just how the radio and saudi arabia, jordan egypt, and others, you know, they, they, they hope that's getting, getting the regime or the bus route as a back to the, to the or a family would that would give them more diplomatic influence in the country. that by charlotte side will distance is a, is ties with the rudeness and you, ron, that he will control the smuggling or stop the smuggling of drugs and 2 other arab countries. and that he may take refugees back to syria. this is what they hope and, and, and, and, and especially john, which is a very pro pro west and country says it says open the, we, we, we did not succeed in these 3 objectives by isolation. let us try it by political,

by political talk. all right, this is fortunately not our or european and western attitude, but this is now the eric eric own efforts to try to, to separate conflicts in their own reach. and what, what did you make sense of what a, so i've said today a sub blames, you know, the, the, the, the costs of the, of the civil war for terrorism. you know, that he's not responsible. he is responsible for hundreds of thousands of, of a, of, of, of his own people. he has expelled half of the population either in the country or the broad 1100000 syrians are having their refuge here in europe. so there that there is a huge responsibilities on his shoulders and when the west, when the west supports the international criminal court, it's using or indicating president 14 for war crimes and ukraine. also, i said, would be someone who had to make responsible for his more crimes at the

international criminal court. we know that bush alongside is still under international sanctions, including from the arab league. are we now closer to seeing those sanctions being lifted. the jordanian government says this is not as symbolic sign for, for a shot on assets, it'll be dramatically reinstalled and the family now we has to show progress towards us. maybe they, they've going to invest in syria may be that their own. it cannot be restrained, is going to be removed it's, it's to be observed. brent uh, what the regime in, in domestic was, is really is really uh and i'll be giving as a compromise for their arab neighbors. but we also know that the president of you create a little bit zalinski, he was at that meeting today. i want you to just take a listen to part of what he had to say today. mm hm. you bring us,

so why haven't and haven't we've seen more resolve against, let them improve it's, it's quite a diplomatic crew that saudi arabia, who's the host of the arabic summit and mom i've been side mind on the one hand they have invited by charlotte. on the other hand, at the same time. yeah, it's an end ski just to show you know, we are not picking side neither to a side stronger with rusher. neither adjusted with an excuse, stronger with the west. wonder who's using whom though you're right, it's it's, it's like what you're saying, but it's interesting. it is how he already has just how the raven for a minister was couple of months ago in keith. here he is giving a quite a lot of money from the attorney in a to, to ukraine. he has been involved in negotiations with, with the, with the slips of off, off, off, off a soldiers catch it. and i'll be available. but once to show its diplomatic weight, not just regionally, but also globally, zelinski has 3 messages. the one is,

i know that a lot of our countries are very close to russia. who's i'm aware about this 2nd, but he says, you know, we are, we are trying to, to, to go to get rid of the occupation of our country. you should support us. and thirdly, he reminds you know that there are chron top top of the muslims. you know they are your religious brothers, you should support us because of that. and then brent, it's very interesting. he was reminding that i think this is one of the key points . all arab countries are relying on food exports from ukraine and russia. more even from ukraine, this is not just read it's, it's, it's, it's a, it's, it's me, it's, it's fruits it's, it's, it's, um, it's some follow or a lot of it and you can just give it almost a 100 percent of it's great. yeah, yes. all right, so they should, they, he says, look guys, you know, we, we have strongly, they sense, you know, you should help me. so that, that we can, we installed all economic ties and end to end your food exports of cheaper. then

now let me ask, can we got like 20 seconds? so do you think he's going to get any help from the or bleat? yes or not. what do you think? i think that's how the already be is going to support the ukraine. but at the same time, we're not lose ties with russia. all right, it's not, we appreciate you coming in excellent analysis and we'll see you next time. thanks also it always appears. i think i read it we, here's a look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . more than a 1000000 people have been displaced by the more in sudan that's according to the you in refugee agency. the thing here includes around $250000.00 who have left the country as well as those displaced internally. hundreds had been killed in fighting between rival generals. zimbabwe had started releasing more than $4000.00 prisoners as part of a presidential amnesty program. authority to say the move will ease over crowding in jails. elections in the country are expected in the next few weeks. china is

region. everything is, can we the us back football star, brittany griner is said to make her 1st appearance in the w. it'd be a since returning from detention in russia, she was held there on drug possession charges. now this past april grinder announced that she is working with a, bring our families home a campaign for the last year by the family members of american hostages and wrongful detainees. held abroad brittany griner received a warm welcome when she returned to the court in a w. n. b a preseason game. it was the 1st time she'd been back since being arrested in february 2022. in moscow. authorities had discovered big canisters with cannabis oil in her luggage. greiner spent nearly 10 months interest in prison after she pleaded guilty to drug charges

see return to the united states in december after a highly publicized prisoner exchange. the extra exposure has given greiner a new platform in april c, announced she's working with bring our families home. a campaign formed last year by the family members of american hostages and run. so detainees held abroad. we're not going to stop. we're not going to stop by. we're not going to stop bringing awareness to everyone that's, that's left behind right now. she was already in l g, b t q plus activist. and was the 1st openly gay asked me to be sponsored by nike. in july 2020 greiner said she didn't feel the national anthem to be played before w. m. b a games. but since her return from russia, she now says, hearing it quote, just hits different what's more, it's reported. lindsey smell of usa today, toby more about reaction to grinders campaign. and i think the around the, in the

a people are just thrilled for the g to be back. you know, she's been an important piece about lead for years when she left it's, it's really crazy to think about the year she's spent in russia before that. and the 2021 final she was arguably the best player in the league and last year having her wrongfully to teen really weighed on everyone, not just received the students, mercury, but across the lead. there were a letter writing campaigns. other players talked about her a lot and focused on getting her out. so when you look around the lead, now there is just a lightness. everyone is smiling. everyone's happy, they're just thrilled, but she's finally back on the floor. yeah. and we heard her comments about the us national anthem and how it hits or differently now. and she's also said that she doesn't plan to ever leave the us again except to compete be olympics of this or deal? it's really affected her hasn't yes, of course. and i,

i think we would expect that, right, you know, 10 minds being wrongfully detained in russia. she has not given a lot of details about what the data data experience was like, that's expected in the book that she's writing. but there's no question that it took its toll. and so for a woman who she's a 2 time olympian, she's been a big part of winning 2 gold medals for the united states. a pass olympics for her to say that's where i'm going to put my focus now. so i think that really does make a statement. and i think there's going to be a lot of players who reevaluate where they're going to go. and if they go overseas, because numerous players to play them russian played in other dangerous countries, but that's will be changing going forward and what she's getting a lot of media attention right now. do you think that we're going to see brittany gardner use this platform that she has now for the long term? i mean if this the beginning of something big there's no question. there's no

question. i'm not sure how much longer b g is going to play. she's 32, she's kind of like in the prime of her athletic career. so maybe she plays for 8 more years like her, one of her teammates and a trustee. maybe she retires earlier, but i think that for the rest of her life, she is going to use the platform that she has to fight to get other wrongfully detained. americans released and back to their families. she has already brought so much awareness to the story of other people who have been wrongfully detained across the globe. that's not gonna change. and i think the va, which has a long history of activism, is going to be at the forefront in general with brand new or leading them. right to live these. now with usa today, we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us today. lindsey, thank you. of course, thank you. so you want to do the news after a short break, i'll be back to take you through the days to ground. we will be right back the
