the bill will see. congress said a new record for the country's military budget. at $840000000000.00, in fact, that's $37000000000.00 more than president biden had even requested. that figure includes another $1000000000.00 allocated to ukraine. however, the new belt bombs, the defense department, from funding any transport for humanitarian aid to couple of this by some democratic party members in congress. stressing the importance of health for afghanistan scanning on his face. and one of the most horrific him in italian crisis on the planet. we should be doing allison in our power to deliver him an italian assistance to the african people. not made this limit in b a. we can supply the move comes despite the international rescue committee repeatedly warning, not the current humanitarian crisis in the galveston could result in even more debts than the recent 2 decades of war in the country. us lawmakers saw both sides of the political divide have also been forcing concern that military spending has
3:08 pm
gotten out of control history. international relations analysts, jo, what came believes washington's policies towards that chemist on is plunging the country into i believe that the united states is deliberately doing this because it wants to get this done. on the, on the devotee and neighboring countries, especially in central asia. and this way, the united states could undermine the efforts to promote plan of road and initiative that age to boost trade, any or asia, the united states is passing through crisis economic crisis. they should have spend this money on be taking that structure, decaying infrastructure. they should spend this money on development plans in the united states. president biden has arrived in saudi arabia and the final leg of
3:09 pm
his middle east to her. but part of the trip has raised more than a few eyebrows after the president previously vowed to make the country a pariah over the murder of during this jamal cas shoji. but there's no calling the nation. a partner telling me more earlier ortiz policy or on friday afternoon, the american president deposit from israel. he p directly to jadae in saudi arabia, making him the 1st american president to make this fight. because of course, saudi arabia does not recognize israel. earlier on friday. the saudi government announced that was opening, it's a space to israeli pain. so that is a 1st the american president ahead of his visit did say that its purpose was to reset relationships between america and saudi arabia. but as you correctly mentioned, it wasn't so long ago that he referred to saudi arabia as a provider estate falling the 2018 killing of the saudi journalist jamal kashodi. now, the americans have always made out that they are the bastion of human rights. that
3:10 pm
they are the policeman of the world if you like. and it was this with us in mind that joe biden had these harsh mot remarks to make about saudi arabia not such a long time ago. and i would make it very clear, we were not going to sell more weapons to them. we were going to make them pay the price, in fact, make them a pariah, that they are. there is very little social, redeeming value in the present government of saudi arabia. wilson, making them a pariah. we now see joe biden reaching out to the saudis in an offer of partnership and friendship. he says he seems to have turned a blind eye to the heavy criticism that washington has laid on the saudi government in the past over what it has caught its indiscriminate activities, shootings in yemen. the americans voice criticized the saudi role in that conflict . and at the same time, they've turned a blind al, to saudi's catastrophic record of human rights abuses. the question, of course, is why and the answer. so he's very clear to people here in the region. it is
3:11 pm
because of oil following the russia ukraine war. you have the americans now urgently seeking new partners to provide them with oil. so it's clearly understood that this is my joe biden is in saudi arabia and he also wants to receive not only more supplies of well that receive it at a cheaper price. we are, you did hear from the you a security adviser saying that another reason for this visit is that the americans wanted to make sure that they would beat no vacuum in the middle east. that would allow for russia awful china to move in. and another issue on each end, of course, will be the formation of an axis against iran. we so he saw that earlier when biden was here in israel and the palestinian territories. a lot of that discussion did revolve around, he ran and it will be interesting to see what comes out if anything, from his trip and from his meetings to saudi arabia. meanwhile, the biden administration is facing accusations of double standards elsewhere in the middle east. the human rights activists has slumped. whitehouse plans to set up
3:12 pm
a new international committee to investigate abuses in yemen, ostensibly at the hands of saudi arabia. he believes the proposed body is a flawed initiative right from the off. they're working on a very, very bad mechanism that can replace that you ends. first of all, the starting point is that the mandate is weak and 2nd, it is not independent at all. according to reports, the u. s. department is considering including representatives from yelman's presidential leadership council in the new committee that is very significant because the grouping has close ties with saudi arabia. itself has been the focus of investigations over the war in yemen. and it comes as a u. s. congressional watchdog release the report last month, stating the u. s. has not fully investigated its own rule and perpetrating human rights abuses in the country. probes have also reveal up to saudi bombing campaign in the country and alleged war crimes were conducted with us weapons in,
3:13 pm
not far to regard in january this year. american weaponry was reportedly used in a nor strike in the m. and you remember this killing at least 80 people react is among americans biggest customers when it comes to arm seals. now washington is said to be discussing the thing, a bomb on the export of offensive weapons to saudi arabia. if progress has made an ending, the yemen work on that front? no agreement has been reached so far. you have many journalists, nasir, robbie said the new investigative committee won't be independent. the united states is coming to form or to create a committee. what this committee would be doing, they say that they would, there will be be, but from the bridge then shall counsel this a presentation. the residential council was made by saudi decisions. it is not independent. it is not to neutral at all. so they are saying that we
3:14 pm
want somebody to, to, to whitewash the crimes not to investigate, to why it was that, that crimes. this would be if it happens if this committee is created, it would be, i think, at this centers for their human rights in yemen. and maybe in the region. well, joe biden met with his palestinian counterpart in bethlehem on friday morning as part of his middle east tour. the visit to the west bank though was marked by protests with demonstrators, angered by biden's support for israel had. busy all that's the white house who lives hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid for palestinians of the u. s. extra per relations with the state. but some residents, all bethlehem that we spoke to ult, ignored by the us, despite the high profile, is that i think his visit to little. hm. it's like lily just as a, to the shift. you see our president, you can see what,
3:15 pm
how much of the time he spent in his room and how many times you spend and all sites and oversight his spend, like just one hours. we are under richard. before 73 years. i don't think's just like this visit. we can put a succesful avoidance and a lot of situation. i don't think anything will move, you know, we've been under this tuition for nearly 70 years. we are okay, but do we need the freedom? so we hope so, some of our suffering guest palestinians should see the will he should see how we pass the check for the even a pest, very free that check what not like we do. he came just so med like a beast with another out of country like his is flies come from here. back to. so the area, if he came to, if he came to do like, you know, to newbies here, you have to wor, carter, you don't talk about 2 hours. so one hours here, it's not that, not enough. you know, biden's press conference with the palestinian leadership wasn't without an awkward
3:16 pm
moments. they awaited the event journalist thought a photo of slain. jazeera journalist, serene and bill, actually on a chair or killing back in may while she was covering on this really operation in the west bank, outraged palestinians, and led to both sides in the conflict. treating blame unwell biden condemned the violence. the president had some trouble crunching her name in the united states to suffer the loss as well, including the killing and sharing abu kailey sure, like his prime minister has been sworn in as being president running wicker missing has promised to restore law and order in the country after recent demonstrations and violent protest grip the south asian country. on thursday, the resignation of president got a bio roger pack that was officially confirmed by the news broke massive celebrations, arrested across the country. or during the week,

the presidential residents was stormed by protesters who blamed him for the country's economic implosion. roger pucks fled the country eventually turning up in singapore from where he finally offered to some new presidential elections by the will be held in parliament next week. much will despise many sure. lincoln's hoping a new, brighter chapter is ahead. the countries still faces a whole host of crises including a severe fuel shortage arctic are spawning for enjoying sharma. x off the story. a with me. i think monday morning critical. i don't know,
3:18 pm
many people are seen. i mean, not now with people. a long time will come to an end, but it's going to take your time. well, energy and food crises are raging across africa as well. with more than 2000000 people facing acute hunger in cameron, not submit a growing shortage of fuel in the country. let's show you this footage drivers chewing up petrol stations. for days, some of them. the government's not pumping money into the market to bring price is done despite the international monetary fund opposing states subsidies on the fuel, local se, the situation in cameron is becoming desperate. i'm here to find diesel for my
3:19 pm
vehicle, which has been pocket home for 3 days. i wanted to bring my mother to the hospital . there is no way because of the lack of fuel. i've been lined up here since this morning at 7 am. unfortunately, they haven't increased the price. we're forced to take the fuel and leaders to the villages so we can put in our bikes, but it is a bad fuel. we have problems with it, as it spoils our bike engines. sometimes we learn, there are stations where we can find diesel, but they don't allow it to be taken with a canister. so now we have cars that are broken down dry. what do we do? do we put the car in our head to come and get fuel? the economic crisis extends well beyond cameroon, with an eye watering combined debt of a quarter of a trillion dollars. now dragging emerging markets closer to default according to bloomberg. the number of states verging on a default off their foreign debts as more than doubled in the last 6 months. the worst said countries are home to almost a 1000000000 people with el salvador pakistan, ghana,
3:20 pm
and egypt. they are the most vulnerable head of the national youth development agency in south africa. here is a full blown humanitarian disaster is eminent you many in crisis imminently and the not the way you manage getting the impact on migration. we certainly need to be going into libraries and he's in indications of potential breakthrough economic decisions that often made based on police go to prevent a domino effect government. do we need to be carefully in how they manage monitoring ah, each foreign policy chief usa barrell has a nice the block will not recognize russian passports issued to don't bounce residence. the new russian legislation now simplifying the procedure for all the ukrainians to obtain russian citizenship is yet another flagrant violation of
3:21 pm
ukrainian sovereignty. the you will not recognize these passports more than 600000 residents of the done yes. can luc ganske republics have already received their russian passports and according to moscow, the number continues to grow louder were booked, and simplified. the procedure of acquiring the trouble document for residents or don bus 3 years ago, citing the dire humanitarian situation and the conflicts on the time was pleasure. the welcome live onto the program. martin doors are human rights lawyer on member of the left party in germany. martin, welcome to you. how is such a nice pin compatible with democracy and human rights embraced by the e. u. people have simply expressed their will to get russian passport, should they not then just get one? of course that's not comfortable because if someone is getting a passport line, pre will it will be accepted,
3:22 pm
doesn't matter if one government like the government of the country which the late that's possible. so if anyone wants to have a pass wall of russia, germany or off the u. s. a, the other country. sure. except that passport i think, as well, we have some last in the european human rights convention and international law as well. which means that people shouldn't be discriminated in this course discrimination. often people are gone. us who don't have any sense the longer because maybe the ukrainian passport as the one out. and then they get a new customer from russia and as well. it should be accepted. yeah, it opens up a pandora's box. i would suggest martin legally recognizing some citizens passports, but then not others. yes, it's like if you at least then need to be
3:23 pm
a special instrument to find out who has no real russian possible or the russian cross border will be done by the people. this means that there is not equal treatment of people. and of course, that open some kind of new medical war, i think that should be turned around a 180 degrees and they should be diplomatic way to open new dialogue to war and new dialogue to acceptance of each that we one and another, measuring up each other, which as well complicated situation for every normal citizen. so that is the wrong way. the european union is going now to my mind. i was looking at a russian international passport earlier. it does not specify where it was issued that region. so will that then lead to restrictions affecting all of russian
3:24 pm
citizens? potentially. there's so many issues around this decision isn't there? yes. well that's, that's what i meant before. it's not clear whether passport is now russian prosper given to russian citizen who came from, let's say, last off, and already been done. but this is and so of course it open the door what i would try re treatment was accusing somebody having such a document. it's, it's something i don't know, i didn't have no longer research on it to my mind isn't kind of strange and you mechanism of dividing people in different class citizens. and that is something which isn't competent with human rights, with international law and with other legislation, and it's against, as well as a pragmatic way of treating every citizen of a country. and then equally,
3:25 pm
if this does go ahead, what kind of reaction do you expect? perhaps from moscow to follow if you have no action and reaction next could be the same. but what kind of escalation spiral could that be? i think at least into something like non respecting the documents of another country, open stalls which leads into more and more in the day of the world. and this is not what we are looking for as human list, or if human rights lawyers, as all the people will see that at least we should keep to the rules were given to the international community by the united nation. and given the european union by the european convention of human rights, where discrimination as well is banned and called called ego.
3:26 pm
so i think this is opening dos which we don't want to come through. so all of them from a crappy process and the union should say and try to fall. so you repeat the commission and the you will union to not to a step like this because it just is something normal citizens that can be the way coming out of conflict. speaking to us from hamburg, martin told her human rights lawyer unsocial, a just thank you. thank you. have a nice, you know, the hungary and prime minister said european economies have caught shop themselves in the lungs by bundling russian fuel imports. that's as hungry declares a state of emergency over type thing. energy supplies. initially, i thought we had only shot ourselves in the foot,
3:27 pm
but now it is clear that the european economy has shut itself in the lungs and it is gasping for air. hungry is heavily dependent on russian fossil fuels for its energy needs around 65 percent of its oil aren't even more. busy of its gas comes from moscow under the state of emergency plans hungry will not boost its own production of natural gas. some expand its purchases from other countries according to the plumb price caps on utility bills. for high usage households, they will not be lifted. and we heard the thoughts of locals about the scheme i did . they can, yes, we now we get the picture. well, we are sensitive to it because we are likely to consume more than the average and therefore pay more. but you can't save money on it. so if you need some hot water on a certain level, you do need it. and how could it not? my pension is low, i have nothing else to say, deductions bands. i live on 49000 florence horror. i am outraged i,
3:28 pm
i've heard about it. yes, i have a pretty depressing opinion about the whole thing, but i don't really want to deal with it. let's wait until the end of the year and we'll see. the hungry was wall of a few. e, you states which refuse to impose energy sanctions on russia. this, by pressure from the block, budapest said a european oil boy called would be quote, an atomic bomb for its economy and destroyed stable energy supply, global a for especially george's m. o. l. a spoke to me earlier, he believes hungry was forced to remove the cap on gas prices as its neighbors were taking advantage of the cheap supplied i think as we had to was that we had a very serious a crisis. because it's not just that we have inflation rates likely to get into the digits in the very near future, but we're gonna get central economic shot down. major factors will close down to how really terrible was the world of speculation. high inflation and the serious
3:29 pm
depression, hungary had actually put a price cap on actual prices. so many people were coming from europe to buy that here in hungary because it was cheaper. and that's gone now they've moved over cats on prices again, badly in order to discourage people from excessive indulgence or petrol, but also prevents pharmacy. i'm coming to hungry and buying up with george zamarelli. now as we enter the weekend to keep on top of all the developments affecting your world today by giving our website some of your strolling time, i promise you won't be bored from the team on myself. you natalie. bye for not. ah.
3:30 pm
throwing good money after bad, this is what's happening because of the west obsession to weaken russia when backing the failed regime in kip. this obsession is so acute that western leaders are sacrificing the well being of their own citizens. ukraine petite is only a matter of time with ah, the eradication of self ism was also conceived by hitler who formed the general plan awesome for the colonization and german ization of eastern europe. the plan involved about 80 percent been killed, relocated me, those labels he technical busy, usually his prostate to me are story up.
