the two countries are currently on opposite sides of brutal wars in nearby yemen and syria. the president's going to ask the saudis to pull back. the saudi royals are deeply skeptical of the president's intensions. they already felt betrayed by the u.s.-brokered nuclear deal by iran which gave is new influence in this region. today, the u.s. tried to reassure the saudis by offering yet more military support. they're already the largest buyer of american-made weapons. despite these differences, the two countries still need each other. most importantly in the fight against isis. >> all right. margaret brennan reporting from riyadh, thank you. the first criminal charges related to the flint lead water crisis are expected today in michigan. at least two people connected with the state's department of environmental quality and the city of flint could be charged. michigan's attorney general began investigating after the city switched its water source to the flint river back in 2014. the water was not properly treated. many children have
