and for more i am joined now by our correspondent mikaela, if not in washington, mikaela biden's as the world is counting on him and as countries a why the stopping short of declaring a national climate emergency well, because he simply wants to get the chance to take this bit by bit i think he is in the process of giving up hope to avoid that know that he said that he won't take as an answer and that's one of his own centers. do mansion who's turned on him, and there's such a delicate balance currently amongst lawmakers that that one vote would be needed and to implement his climate action, the whole build back better concept of joe biden. so this points to weakness in the u. s. president strategy and actually getting stuff done. and his climate adviser was actually off by done this on the plane that his somerset massachusetts why there was no declaration of emergency why. there was no executive order sweeping executive order today. and the she wouldn't go into details, but very much sounded like they're still working out the exact details on how they want to do this. but the announcem

as d w washington correspondent mikaela christina, explains it is big international geostrategic diplomacy that joe biden is engaging him while at the same time having to please his audience back home. here in the united states, there are new figures coming out, pointing to the fact that inflation is the highest. and since 1981 a 4 decade high, people are worried where this will lead. and the u. s. president promises that a more stable, middle east, and more diplomatic raw than any kind of military involvement could allow for some of that pressure to go down prices to potentially ease at the gas pump, which have risen by some 60 percent of the past year alone. so that would be a much needed positive signal for president who is not doing particularly well in the polls with midterm elections. coming up this autumn, mcculloch his ne, in washington there will, to sri lanka now where people are still occupying government buildings and protesting in the streets of the capital in anger at the severe economic crisis there. the prime minister who is now the acting president, has ordered security forces to restore

that word time and again today, disappointment when it comes to this tour. biden's last stop is going to be saudi arabia mikaela. he's expected to broach the subject of human rights, but he also needs saudi arabia, doesn't it? yes he does. if he is to deliver what he's promised here in the united states, and that is more stability, the tea in the region. and we don't expect anything historic, like anything else. moving towards a saudi, a reagan recognition of israel, that would truly be historical. of this, as it keeps getting called historic but trying to see more integration of israel in the region also points to the fact that he seems to be banking much more on that kind of a lions than actually at finding a resolution of return to the nuclear deal with iran, so that can be seen as a change of policy to some degree and also a tailing in with trumps policy. because after all he launched that very process of some kind of normalization the steps towards israel and its neighbors in the region . and the whole world is of course, watching with baited breath. will there be a handshake between us president biden. an

mikaela. tell us more about the background of the us israel relations. what has changed since u. s. president biden took office? well, certainly what hasn't changed is a very deep commitment present. biden, describe this as bone, deep upon arrival, and israel's prime minister le pete spoke of a friend and ally coming. israel's president said he came as a brother. so it reaffirms that a commitment. there will be security talks also about the iron b projects. so clearly both sides engaging in defense but also in future technology, but biden arrives as he is under pressure back home. the polling isn't looking that great, although it's slightly on the way up. even his own democrats don't, with the majority of them, according to pulling, don't want to see him run again as president, and he felt the need to explain why he's heading into the region particular to saudi arabia. he wants to reduce risks, he wants to tackle inflation also through this trip to the middle east, and for that he needs to deliver stability and clearly also with the message that he will indeed still stand for us to state solution i
