officials have stressed that the aircraft posed no, no, and threat to public safety. but on wednesday f b, i assistant director robert wheeler faced the grilling when testifying before congress. you know, sometimes i feel like i'm in the twilight zone up here like months after months, people come before us, they testify. you don't get a lot of answers and it's, it's, uh, it's concerning. it's frustrating. and you're telling me, we don't know what the hell these drones are in new jersey, or is that correct? it's. that's right. it's crazy. i mean, it's crazy. that's madness that we don't know what these drones are. we do not attribute that to 8 individuals or a group yet. we're investigating, but i don't have an answer of who's responsible for that of one or more people that are responsible for those drone flights. the we're actively invest, investigating the drones also came up at

a white house press briefing as the federal government ruled out that these are controlled by 4 entities. and do you know if they're conducting surveillance over so i cannot make any present any kind of predictions or comments about that specifically from here, this is something that the h s is looking at uh and the f b i. so it would have to refer you to them. i don't have anything beyond that, we're tracking this very closely. new jersey governor field murphy has called the drones, very sophisticated and said he is taking the situation deadly seriously. and the state senator is calling for a limited state of emergency over the sightings such as well governing body faith that has confirmed that saudi arabia will host the 2034 world cup faith. this is hosting the men's soccer tournament. will encourage positive social change in the kingdom, including more rights for women. the right scripts,

one that the construction of the stadiums and transport networks for the event will put migrant workers. lots of risk for more of a, for avoiding the world cup 2030 for the saudi arabia. i'm joined now by russell lucas, professor of international relations and global studies from michigan state university . russell. glad to have you along a saudi arabia has been investing heavily in sports, embracing these critics or accusing them of sports, washing it to him. we hear a lot of to cover up human rights abuses. now they get the highest, one of the biggest sporting events in the world. what do you think the goal is as well, thank you for having me. i. i think the goal is um prestige, that saudi arabia is trying to reinforce its place on the world stage through a big sporting events such as i'm now hosting the world cup, you know, look at, aside from cuts are all the reason close to the world cup you know, russia,

brazil, south africa have been, you know, major regional powers and, you know, the next world cups are being hosted in the united states and canada and mexico. so is saudi arabia is trying to improve and stature in the world. and also along the way i developed some economic diversification away from petroleum russell, as a football fan, my take away from cut out was that despite the intense and understandable objections to the tournament being held, that once the whistle blew, it was very easy to forget. and just watch the foot, but what i'm putting to you is the notion that supports the washing kind of works. do you think it does as well? i think, you know, here we are talking about saudi arabia and yes, of course there's lots of negative aspects to what happened and cut are. and i think we're quite, you know,

right to be worried about whether many of those issues of. ready occurs right, and uh, you know, the end of the construction, both, not just of the stadiums but also of all the infrastructure that goes into this. uh, you know, that you know, migrant workers make up basically all the labor force in these blue collar jobs and they're highly at risk. so i think we are right to worry about that. but at the same time, yes um, you know, after the world cup started in doha, into the encounter. and that the, you know, the story tended to be about what was going on, on the pitch and as well as what was kind of the announcing kind of cut her to the world as well. and i do think actually this is another aspect device out of your avi is doing this is because there is this tension and rivalry between cut turns out of your. ready area as to kind of who's kind of able to influence regional

events and regional it being regional power. now started ravia has a much easier aspect that, that is bigger, more wealthy. uh and you know, has a much stronger military too. yeah. the regional rod probably will be fascinating when it comes to building they stadiums. the plans for the stadiums are out. so this will, the last will come to placing guitar the, there was a lot of present criticism directed at the high, so as with sort of talked about, do you think sadie, arabia fees the criticism when it's white against the benefits? as um, well i think the, you know, the into the cutter woke up. i, you know, you can say that there were a lot of labor abuses, but at the end of the day of the workers conditions and cut hard did improve on through international pressure. um, not to where i think they should be, but, and hopefully saudi arabia is going to be, you know, take advantage of that as well. now, of course, saudi arabia also has

a much more preexisting set of infrastructure. it's going to be, you know, the country has multiple stadiums that they're, you know, going to be investing and building new ones. but they're hardy, are you know, um, existing transport networks that is also going to be spread across the country is compared to, you know, doha is a much smaller space or that they were holding all of the events in so i think starting rate is learning from that and i think also that they're going to get out in front of the press and, you know, they've also faced this accusation. it's worth watching uh, in multiple other major sporting initiatives that they've had in for example, the l. i, the golf initiative. and so sorry, ray, because you know, used to that him. i think they're going to get ahead of it. russell microsoft spring. glad to hear your insights, much appreciated from michigan state university. thanks so much. thank you very much. i as well, that's also now coming up the w follows

a young man trying to accomplish his dream of becoming a magician that's next on the choices. remember, you can catch up on how youtube channel or a website, a d, w dot com, social media handle is these of the news had to be held in berlin saying good bye for them. the, the innovation green, the green revolution global. so listen, the whole lot of crime is probably up to speed if the carriers subscribe to those channels to subscribe to plan, it's a they see everything is a bit emptied. but that doesn't mean you just sitting on face and everything just

happens. you need to put in a.
