helping train and recruit mercenaries. the british foreign office blames a russia for the death of the case. citizens saying that say he was nothing but said aid worker. so there are inconsistencies out there. but myself been here in dentist sky requested right away to find out more about the circumstances surrounding the death of this say u. k. a national. so besides the statement from the prosecutor are also good visit the prison, where he was held and actually spoke to a couple of his cellmates. and they also confirm to me that he was getting all the medical help that he needed. he had a lot of pain and difficulties to breathe. we tried to help him as much as we could and help him to get contact with doctors and medical stuff here at the hospital. not a hospital, not in prison. we. he was treated fairly by with

a noise previous history, medical history, and from one full we'll say, a full words to new diagnoses. a hospital at the moment, we're waiting for official documents from the dentist people's republic. regarding the death of the u. k. a national i here in captivity at once we get those documents, we will share all of them without viewers. okay, something else to update you on. on a busy news day, the u. s. house of representatives has passed a national defense bill that increases washington's military help to ukraine, but strikes a significant blow for humanitarian aid to afghanistan. big money, that 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 the spy, some democratic party members in congress stressing the importance of health for afghanistan, scanning on his face in 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 good people, not men this limit, indeed we can supply. the move comes despite the international rescue committee repeatedly warning that the current humanitarian crisis enough galveston could result in even more debts than the recent 2 decades of war in the country. us lawmakers on both sides of the political divide have also been voicing concern that military spending has gotten out of control history. international relations

analysts, jo, what key believes washington's policies towards i've got, nathan is plunging the country into i believe that this is deliberately doing this because it wants to get this done on my disability and neighboring countries, especially in central asia. this way, the united states could undermine the efforts to promote plan of road and initiative that age to boost trade. any asia, the united states is passing through crisis economic crisis. they should not spend this money on the, i believe taking that enterprise structure, decaying infrastructure. they should spend this money on development plans in the united states. president biden has arrived in saudi arabia on the final leg of his middle east tour, 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 as know, calling the nation a partner telling me more earlier ortiz policy or on friday afternoon, the american president deposit from israel. he directly to jetta 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 it was opening its 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 provide estate falling. the 2018 killing of the saudi journalist jamal cas shogi . now the americans have always made out that they are the bastion of human rights, that they are the policeman of the world if you like. and it was this with this in

mind that joe biden had these harsh mach 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 said he seemed 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 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 will 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 certainly 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 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. states department is considering including representatives from yemen, 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 released 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 not 30 regard in january, this year, american weaponry was reportedly used in

a nurse 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 the progress is made an ending, the yemen were on that front. no agreement has been reached so far. you have any journalist? no, sir. robbie said the new investigative committee won't be independent. the united states is coming to form or to create a committee. was this committee would be doing, they say that they would, there will be be, but from the presidential counsel visit president, residential council was made by saudi decisions. it is not independent. it is not to neutral at all. so they are saying that we want somebody to, to, to whitewash the crimes not to investigate why it was that,

that grimes, this would be if it happens if this committee is created, it would be, i think, at this centers for the 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, who was marred by protests with demonstrators angered by biden's support for israel had all that's the white house who lives hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid for palestinians of the you essex repair relations with the state. but some residents, all bethlehem that we spoke to ult, ignored by the us, despite the high profile visit. i think his visit to little him. it's like a religious visit to the church. our president, you can see what, how much of the time he spent the zone and how many times you spend and all sites,

no side has spent like just one hours. we are on that before 73 years. i don't things just like this visit. we can put a points 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 as well as finance. we should see the will, he should see how we present a check for the even a best, very free that check what not like we do. he came just so med like a beast with another out of country like he is flies come from here. back to sort of the area if he came to, if he came to do like, you know, to movies here, you have to war carter. you don't talk about 2 hours. so one hours here. it's not that, not enough. you know, well biden's press conference with the palestinian leadership wasn't without an awkward moment. they awaited the event journalists, but

a photo of slain. jazeera journalist, serene black lay on a chair or killing back in may while she was covering on this really operation in the west bank, outraged palestinians, and lead to both sides in the conflict. treating blame and while biden condemned to violence. the president had some trouble pronouncing her name in the united states has suffered a loss as well, including the killing of sharing abu. okay, kaylee sure. like it is, prime minister has been sworn in as being president. ronnie le wickersham, a single has promised to restore law and order in the country after recent demonstrations and violent protest grip. they saw asian country on thursday. the resignation of president gotta buy a raja pack, that was officially confirmed by the news broke massive celebrations, erupt. it across the country or you're in the week, the presidential residents will storm by protestors 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 country still faces a whole host of crises, including a severe fuel shortage or t correspondence in june sharma picks up the story. these 2 with 3. i think monday morning. here to go. i don't know. a,

with now with the policy long term will come to an end. but it's going to say, well, energy and food crises are raging across africa as well. with more than 2000000 people facing acute hunger in cameron, not submitted growing shortage of fuel in the country. let's show you this footage drivers queuing of petrol stations. for days, some of them, the government's not pumping money into the market to bring price is done us despite the international monetary fund, opposing state subsidies on the fuel, local se, the situation in cameron is becoming desperate. i'm here to find diesel for my vehicle, which has been parked at home for 3 days and 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 have an increase the price we are forced to take the fuel in litters 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 have 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 debt says more than doubled in the last 6 months. the worst head countries are home to almost a 1000000000 people with el salvador, pakistan, gunner, and egypt. you're the most vulnerable head of the national youth development agency

in south africa. if you're a full blown humanitarian disaster is eminent. you many can crisis given if he does not manage the migration, we certainly need to the point into libraries and he's an indication of potentially think of what would happen. economic decisions often made based on political amended to prevent a domino effect. government, do we need to be carefully in how they manage monetary policy over the next? ah, each foreign policy chief usa barrell has a nice the block will not recognize russian passport issued to don, bounced residents the new russian legislation. now simplifying the procedure for all of ukrainians to obtain russian citizenship is yet another flagrant violation of ukrainian sovereignty. the you will not recognize these passports more than

600000 residents of the done yes. can luc ganske republics, have all ready received their russian passports and according to moscow, the number continues to grow. learning report and simplify the procedure of acquiring the travel 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 and member of the left party in germany. martin, welcome to you. how is such an 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 warm? of course that's not comfortable because if someone is getting a passport by pre will, it should be accepted, 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 was russia, germany, or off the u. s. a, the other country? sure. except that passport i think as well, we have some law in the u. p. n. human rights convention and international law as well, which is that people shouldn't be discriminated. and this focus discrimination of the people who don't have any problems and the longer because maybe the ukrainian passport as well. no. 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 will, at least then need to be a special instrument to find out who had no real russian

or the russian cross border will be done by the people. this means that there is a non equal treatment of people. and of course that open some kind of new level diplomatic. ready was i think that should be turned around $280.00 degrees and they should be diplomatic way to open new dialogue to and war and new dialogue to acceptance of each that of we one and another measure not update each other which as well complicated situation for every normal citizens, so that is the wrong way. you appeal unions going to my mind. i was looking out 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 russia's 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 the passport has no russian passport given to the russian citizen who came from, let's say, last off and or whether it's a done. but this is, so of course it's open the door what i would try retreatment was accusing someone 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 new 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 country in the cool way.

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 stall, which leads into more and more p day sion of the world. and this is not what we are looking for as human. this or if human rights more. yes. as all the people would think 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, call called ego. so i think this is opening dos which we don't

want to pass through. so all through my list and democrats in the process and the union should say, and try to call to you repeat the commission and the european union to not to a step like this because the justice thing, 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 hungarian prime minister said european economies have caught shot themselves in the lungs by bundling russian fuel imports. that says hungry declares a state of emergency over type thing, energy supplies. initially, i thought we had only shot ourselves in the foot, 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. and even war of its gas comes from moscow under the state of emergency plans. hungry will not boost its own production of natural gas from expand its purchases from other countries, according to the plumb price caps on utility bills for high usage, high schools, they will not be listed. and we heard the thoughts of locals about the sky. but is it good? yes, we know 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. how could it not? my pension is low that i have nothing else to say, deductions bands. i live on 49004 inch horror. i am outraged. 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 why the longer was one of the few e, you states which refuse to impose energy functions on russia. this by pressure from the blog, budapest said a european oil boy caught would be quote, an atomic bomb for its economy and destroy it stable energy supply, global offer, especially george m. o l. he spoke to me earlier, he believed hungry was forced to remove the camp on gas prices as its neighbors were taking advantage of the cheap supplies. i think we had to was we heading for very serious economic crisis because it's not just that we have inflation rates likely to get into digits in the very near future. but we're going to get essentially economic shut down major factors. we're closed down who really terrible was the war world of fact lation high inflation and the,

there is depression. hungary had actually put a price cap on on the actual prices. so many people were coming from europe to buy the central here in hungary because it was cheaper and that's gone. now they've, they removed all the cash on prices. again, probably in order to discourage people from excessive indulgence on petrol, but also to prevent pharmacy from coming to hungry and buying up all the george eli. now as we enter the weekend, do keep on top of all the developments affecting your world today by giving our website some of your strolling time, a promise you will be bored from the team and myself, you natalie. bye for now. the

yet the bill. good. i think is 70 percent of you been 80 percent of soviet people owed for why should you need if you say i want to approach and it means i want this vest with this one. me not a toyota. we say a plus little a with .
