the headlines at 3pm: donald trump is preparing to address arab leaders in riyadh, expected to tell them to fulfil their part of the burden in confronting extremists. the conservatives defend proposals to change social care, but won't confirm which pensioners will lose their winter fuel allowance. labour says it will keep the allowance and guarantee annual rises in pensions and other benefits. we're putting £30 billion in over the lifetime of the parliament to welfare, we're reforming universal credits. following last week's missile test, north korea has conducted another, firing a missile towards the sea of japan. also in the next hour, election campaigning pauses in memory ofjo cox, the mp murdered in her constituency last year. party leaders spent an hour away from the campaign trail this lunchtime to remember their former colleague. and coming up in half hour, the click team explore the pitfalls of voice—recognition security. good afternoon, and welcome to bbc news. the us president, donald trump, is due to deliver a major speech in saudi arabia shortly. let's ta ke let's take a look

a real double gain with the united states and the arab states. they host the largest air base in the middle east and carry out a great number of air missions against the islamic state and al qaeda on the one hand and on the other hand, the headquarters for hamas, reporting some of the groups that are part of the -- al qaeda coalition in syria. we saw division amongst the arab state. it will be interesting to see how the countries coalesce. host: jonathan schanzer is our guest and talking about the trump administration. for democrats -- for republicans -- and independents -- he had a meeting with the leader of israel while he was there. what is the likelihood of them ?oming on board guest: a potential to revive the two state solution. the real fun thing to watch right now is the potential alliance ruing between the arab state and israel. the real alarm over the iran deal signed in 2015 and brokered by the obama administration. egyptians, jordanians, israelis, they work much more closely but this is something we never would have dreamed of 50 years

for them an arab is an arab.september 2000 the palestinians started to shoot through the jewish neighborhoods, and the authorities had to protect the kindergarten over here, and they put up this wall put up by the neighborhood council. but nevertheless, it's quite ugly. but if they shoot from the other side toward the kindergarten, what other measure you can take in order to protect the children? >> before returning home we went to visit a palestinian farmer whose life was devastated when half of his land was taken by the israeli army to accommodate the bending of the wall. -- the building of the wall. >> the majority of his land and the better part of his land is beyond that fence. all these walls he built by breaking this sporn land with his wife and his children and all his hard work is gone. he cannot go down and tend to his trees or cultivate it. ♪ >> i feel like i haven't found any anchor for the light at the end of the tunnel. is there any chance for people to believe that there is something else? >> i use

states below the arab screen. that has not existed before even though it's below the radar screen, makes the fact that it's very real. what is significant is two things. one, it's still below the radar screen because of the palestinian issue and two, the relationships have been one characterized by deep distrust and deep disbelief. so you have a context that is different because you have a new asset. the cooperation of arab states with israel on security. but you still have very wide gaps between the two sides on the substance and the core issues that confront them and real psychological gaps as well that have to be overcome. >> shepard: does either side seem willing to budge on what you described as the core issues? >> at this point, i don't see any evidence of that. that's one of the reasons -- i don't think you start on the core issues. if you star there on jerusalem, refugees, borders, security, if you start on those issues, you drive each side to their maximal positions. if you want to get at the issues, firs

both arab allies as well as israel.t's a delicate balance as you saw, people are upset that trump didn't call out saudi arabia for doughmenting and fostering this ideology. it was standard fare. the broad theme about uniting all of the decent people of the world against violent extremists, something george w. bush or bro m said. that helped him, when president trump or candidate trump acted presidential, it helped him get past these controversy or scandals. think back to the campaign when he had one of his worst scandals, worst controversy was his fight with the family of a fallen muslim soldiers. went down to mexico, had a fairly normal interaction with the, you know, mexican leaders. and he basically rebounded. can that work out here, can he restore confidence at home with a good trip, not entirely, i think he can somewhat. these investigations aren't going to go away. >> leland: you brought up the investigation of investigations that was dogging him last week. and it seems to be following him this week. fox news conf

iran is an enemy of israel, as an enemy of the modern arabs, the sunni arabs.storic opportunity and it's happening below the radar, there is cooperation between saudis and israelis on the intelligence, all this other stuff we don't hear about, it's an opportunity to soften the internal hostility between israel and the arab states. with with the hope -- i don't know it will be imminent, could take a generation or two -- if you do loosen up those relationships with the gulf arabs, the sunni arabs, the pro-american arabs are able to have commerce interaction, good relations, that might open up a chance for the palestinians who are the key in the end to say the other arabs are accommodating of israel, it's time that we did. >> tucker: the other arabs might pressure them. >> they are getting a tired of palestinian rejection is him and with iran breathing down their throats, they know who theirfrir enemies are. >> tucker: that's meaningful, may be more meaningful than touching a glass ball, that's my view. you didn't expect hillary clinton to go away, today she deliv

[ speaking foreign language ] >> translator: mr. president, as far as the permanent solution, we believe that this is possible and able to be resolved. i am firmly believing that this is possibly we are able to resolve it and in that, i also believe that we will be able to resolve the issue of the refugees and issue of the prisoners according to the international law, according to the terms of the international law, the international legitimacy, and the various relevant references and terms of reference in that regard. and based on what is stipulated in the previous treaties and agreements, that no unilateral steps must b

not all arabs are muslims. yeah. and i'm not even trying to be cond snding when i say that, because i suffer from that. i didn't know. i have a friend and she says i'm arab-christian. what did you convert? she's like are no, my namfully is all christian. your family is all christian how did that happen? because jesus is from the middle east. well, he was. good point. yeah, yeah. yeah. as a comedian i've made a living finding humor in parts of america i don't understand. and now i'm challenging myself to dig deemer. i'm on a mission to reach out and experience all the cultures and believes in this country. this is the united shades of america. whether america as a whole wants to talk about it or not, america has always had heroes who are muslims. humommed alee, abdul-jabbar, and malcolm x are the best of us. malcolm x. was on a posage stamp and karim abdul-jabbar was on an airplane, a true american hero. when i a kid i kind of wished i was a muslim, especially the nation of islam. they looked cool, talked cool,

if you do loosen up those relationships with the gulf arabs, the sunni arabs, the pro-american arabse to have commerce interaction, good relations, that might open up a chance for the palestinians who are the key in the end to say the other arabs are accommodating of israel, it's time that we did. >> tucker: the other arabs might pressure them. >> they are getting a tired of palestinian rejection is him and with iran breathing down their throats, they know who their friends are and who their enemies are. >> tucker: that's meaningful, may be more meaningful than touching a glass ball, that's my view. you didn't expect hillary clinton to go away, today she delivered a commencement address at wellesley college, she gave the address herself rather than sending john podesta to give it for her, election night joke. a preview for her next run for something, watch. >> we were serious about the past presidential election.

it's not an arab country. what you're dealing with is how do you get enough voices coming forward, particularly as it relates to the schools and the mosques. i think the financing piece will be key. what the issue has been is that it may not be the saudi government, but it may be people within those countries who are allowing funds to go to these radical centers. >> i want to know about moving forward to israel, meeting with benjamin netanyahu and the other leaders, some of those conservative israelis are upset with the president because of what happened with his dialogue with serge, the foreign minister of russia. >> i don't think that will be a particularly major issue. there has been a history of intelligence cooperation and some competition between the united states and israel, but i think what you'll really be looking for is anything to do with the potential settlement with the palestinians, the hard-line has been drawn by the prime minister on jerusalem. i think you'll hear very strong words on iran whic

there is an elephant in the room, and that is the arab spring. the fact is that —— the arab spring.rs that caused the arab spring are still there, it is frustration, the feeling that unless you have the connections, an uncle in the right place, someone who can get you a job in the ministry, you do not have a chance of getting on in life. there is a small coterie of unelected people at the top who are in charge. that is the thing that pushed people onto the streets during the arab spring. that has not gone away. the monarchies have weathered the arab spring a lot better, you could say that is because the repressive, autocratic, 01’ because the repressive, autocratic, or whatever, but the truth is that people are far more loyal to the monarchies in these kingdoms than two authorities in libya, yemen and syria. that is why those countries have suffered these are —— these enormous upheavals and the gulf states have managed to survive them. president trump saying that if there was a need for reforms would be gradual reform, not dramatic interventions. you're watching special coverage on

it was the saudis and much of the arab world and much of the world against iraq out of kuwait. judy pointed out in a way only she can, now a little less than 30 years later, it's so much more complicated. >> absolutely. i want to bring in our own ben hall. he is outside of this press conference in riyadh, saudi arabia. now, for our viewers at home, he's streaming live and it's in and out. >> it's a long way. >> it's a long way. and ben you were incredible when you set the scene for us as the president was arriving. i want a sense from you now that his day is obviously continuing on, just what is going on in the streets there and what the latest from there on the ground? >> well, yeah, you know, we continue to talk to people and we're waiting for this press briefing to begin. every briefing that we get it's fascinating to hear what they might say. going on to judy's point recently, she was just saying that iran was the threat to saudi arabia, i was speaking to someone from the foreign minister, he pointed out a number of issues that u.s. and saudi arabia align on. and he indicat

[speaking in arabic] >> [speaking in arabic] -- bonds of friendship, security, culture, and commerce. for americans, this is a very exciting time. a new spirit of optimism is sweeping our country. in just a few months, we have created almost a million new trillion inover $3 new value, lifted the burdens on madecan industry, and record investments in our military that will protect the safety of our people and enhance the security of our wonderful friends and allies, many of whom are here today. now, there is even more blessed news that i am pleased to share with you. my meetings with king salman, the crown prince, and the deputy crown prince have been filled with great warmth, goodwill, and tremendous cooperation. yesterday, we signed historic agreements with the kingdom that will invest almost $400 billion in our two countries and create many hundreds of thousands of jobs in america and saudi arabia. this landmark agreement includes the announcement of a $110 billion saudi-funded defense purchase, and we will be sure to help our saudi friends to get a good deal from our great american

the sunni arab states, the saudi, the emirates and the israelis welcome this.a good idea. part of what's going on here is you know, we have to remember, countries like to flatter the incoming president. obama got a whole bunch of this when he was first president. the europeans were falling over themselves. the turks were falling over themselves. egypt at the time gave this extraordinary lions awelcome when he gave his cairo speech. so there's some of this, i hope the trump administration is sophisticated enough to understand there is a feeling in diplomacy, if you think flattery doesn't get you anywhere, you haven't been properly flattered. >> but is this the right time to marginalize iran, given that rouhani was just reelected and that signals that iranians want to be more modern. they want a more moderate voice. >> that's i think the most interesting, important question about american foreign policy in the middle east going forward. can you really construct a stable, middle east by completely excluding iran, by essentially having an anti-shia foreign policy.

as the palestinian authority and the arab world is demanding. it wants to have jerusalem as the eternal capital of israel. the palestinians want the eastern part of jerusalem. there's a lot of thorny issues that will be very, very difficult to work out. it's kind of lowering expectations about the at the same time sort of dreaming about what is possible here. that is what the president did yesterday in his speech in saudi arabia, what he'll do here again, sort of lay down this idea that if we work together in common purpose against shared goals and against the common enemy, that being terrorism, and the threat from iran, the president does hope that at some point iran can come down from this terrorist height they've been at for so long. a lot of things are possible. it's really draining the swamp of terrorism and getting countries on the path to prosperity, human rights obviously are a part of that, further down the road. it's really lowering the expectations game and setting goals. >> we're waiting the president, john roberts, thank you. the pr

numerous arab and islamic scholars have eloquently argued that protecting equality strengthens arab and muslim communities. for many centuries, the middle east has been home to christians, muslims, and jews living side-by-side. we must practice tolerance and respect for each other once again, and make this region a place where every man and woman, no matter their faith or ethnicity, can enjoy a life of a dignity and hope. in that spirit, after concluding my visit in a fabulous place that we are at today, riyadh, which i've gotten to know so well in so short a time, i will travel to jerusalem and bethlehem, and then to the vatican, visiting many of the holiest places in the three abrahamic faiths. if these three faiths can join together in cooperation, then peace in the world is possible, including peace between israelis and palestinians. i will be meeting with both israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and palestinian president abbas. starving terrorists of their territory, of their funding, and the false allure of their craven ideology will be the basis for easily defeating them, b

, saudi arabia and gulf states are sunni arabs.t just attacking shiite arabs but defeating the idea of terrorism and i hope speech and activity addresses that. chris: i have seen a first draft of the speech and it's just that, the people who affect the most are sunni arabs, the muslims getting killed in that part of the world. we have seen other presidents make kind of effort, they get lip service but then behind the scenes a lot of the muslim leaders whether it's per payoffs or whatever reason tonight -- continue to fund radicalism, what do you think it would be different? >> eight years of lack of leadership from the obama administration in which things and allowed them to begin meddling more in all of the other countries through surrogates, whether it's in yemen and syria, this has caused problems for all of the gulf region. they have a renewed interest in actually from their own self-interest in doing something and working with donald trump and that, i think, is a chance for a reset and that's why it might be different. chris:

he goes before the arabs trying to make arab,/israeli peace. he understand the one things that units them is fear and loathing of iran. he's going to hit that hard. probably could have gone in front of an audience and said we understand there's a difference between the terrorists supporting iranian government and the people of iran who seem to want change and seem to want better relations with the world. that would probably be a more elegant way of approaching this. but he's doing things that are very traditional for an american president and he's also sticking to the obama game plan on the iran nuclear deal which is the headline. it's not the thing we're talking about but it's the headline. >> the dog that didn't bark. a great reference to a great story. thank you very much. jeff goldberg, peter alexander, kristen welker. and here in israel, as we've been saying the president is trying to isolate iran. that goes over very well with president netanyahu and the leaders just a few moments ago alongside prime minister netanyahu, the prime minister

(united we let's start with this article in the arab news. ( united we will not ba il" arab news. ( unitedl". this is about donald trump's visit to saudi arabia, which seems to have gotten off to a good start. there was some concern that he might ta ke there was some concern that he might take a similarline there was some concern that he might take a similar line to barack obama when he visited the middle east. effectively as the arab news says, lectured middle eastern leaders on how to behave. what donald trump is doneis how to behave. what donald trump is done is do the opposite. he has gone in theirwin an done is do the opposite. he has gone in their win an olive branch and has said, we are here to help to want to ta ke said, we are here to help to want to take action against terrorists. and i want to do a few trade deals as well. he has done the trade deals come of billions of dollars' worth of trade deals. he's come out of it well. two thumbs up, mr trump, of trade deals. he's come out of it well. two thumbs up, mrtrump, they say. when you said you were going to put america first, you

in this respect, i commend the importance of the holding of the arab islamic american summit and its findings and outcomes and conclusions. your excellency, mr. president, once again we reassert to you our positions of accepting the two-state solution along the borders of 1967 -- the state of palestine with its capital as east jerusalem, living alongside the state of israel in peace and security and good neighborhood, as well as resolving the entire final status issues based on international law and international long-term resolutions, and respecting side agreements which sets , the tone for the implementation of the arab peace initiative in accordance with what has been reaffirmed in the most recent arab summit in jordan. your excellency, as you saw yesterday during your historic visit of holy sites in occupied east jerusalem, and today in bethlehem, the conflict is not between religions, for respecting religions and prophets is an integral part of our religion and faith. and we are keen to keep the door open to dialogue with our israeli neighbors from all walks of life in order to

the arab news has a poll about how americans view the arab world.finds that eight out of ten of them can't identify the region on a map — and a fifth think that agra—bah, the fictional city from ‘aladdin‘, is part of the middle east. the daily telegraph looks at plans by the european commission to create a digital single market, and how it would affect content licensing. the paper says 400 industry organisations are attacking the move, saying it erodes the cornerstone of the tv and film businesses. with us is mark davies, ceo of strategy consultancy camberton. thank you forjoining us. we are going to talk about france, le figaro‘s coverage. the picture on the front is pretty horrific, but so are the tensions? day. i think it is certainly not a great photo. they're often riots in paris that are not covered. there is the election on sunday. there are tensions, not the polls put emmanuel macron farcically ahead, 60% versus marine le pen at 40%. i ahead, 60% versus marine le pen at a0%. i don't think there is much doubt that le pen is going to get beate

and the arabs can give to israel in the give and take in any process. we will cover president trump's trip every step of the way through the week. that is now turned to a story i'm sure he is following from afar. —— let's now turn. this is michael flynn. he was president trump's national security advisor before he resigned after failing to declare contacts with the russian ambassador. today it's being reported that he will refuse to hand over documents to a senate panel which is investigating the alleged russian meddling in the us election. we can bring in nick briant in washington. first of all, can you help us place this in the context of the bewildering array of different investigations. last week a special counsel was appointed by the justice department, robert muller, the former fbi director, but this has nothing to do with his investigation. it is today with an investigation. it is today with an investigation that is being mounted by the senate intelligence on capitol hill and they have been seeking documents from michael flynn, the former nationa

arab terrorists attacking opec, the headquarters of oil power.and three wounded. >> there is no certainty, but there is plenty of speculation that one of those terrorists who raided the opec meeting in vienna be europe's most wanted fugitive, carlos sanchez martinez, also known as the jackal? >> this is the clearest news film of carlos that so far exists. that's him breaking away, answering a call from near the plane. >> carlos the jackal i think had an enormous flair for publicity. becoming arguably the best-known terrorist of that era. >> but who is this man known to police as carlos ilych ramirez sanchez? who was paying him? what is he after? and how many members in his group of terror? >> carlos is thought to be a venezuelan in his late 20s, moscow trained, politically motivated, and wanted by france, holland, britain, and now austria. >> he crossed frontiers on six forged passports, used ten different names, spoke spanish, russian, english, french and arabic. >> this is a face for international terrorism. here's a venezuelan working with the

president obama also spoke to arab leaders back in 2009.elieve trump was more effective in his remarks? >> i don't even think you can make a comparison. what i believe president trump is doing with his 2017 speech is rejecting the eight years of failed policy in the middle east. that is a defining moment. the fact is appeasement and accommodation of iran is over. this president has asked to form an alliance with the leaders of the middle east, not only to fight radical islamic terrorism in the middle east but to fight what he has defined and they know for a fact the number one strategic threat in the middle east is iran. it is iran, iran and iran. and he is standing up against them not just to deter them but their willingness to confront them. that is why this visit is so historic, as you just noted in the introduction. why all the leaders of the arab world, the muslim world come together, it is largely because they know for a fact that this president is willing to stand with them to counter iran. that is what has made this visit so pivotal

arab leaders since donald trump has been elected, the message has been the same.his is their chance to organize the sunni shiite world against iran. >> and you think back to the campaign trail when then candidate trump was saying that the iran deal is the worst thing out there and he says to isolate iran, yet he was walking back those words saying they're abiding by the rules within the deal. if this is just a precursor for what's to come in that they will eventually walk that nuclear deal back, considering? people he had been meeting with on this trip so far. >> every 90 days he has to certify to congress that iran is living up to the deal. and so far secretary tillerson has lived up to that. the nukeler edeal was negotiated with the six western powers. that has been recertified by the international atomic agency, by their weapons inspectors. the virtue of it according to others who were part of that negeen negotiation is that for at least a decade it will slow iran down. while it's permitted to have some of its equipment, it is nullify bide having cameras in eve

i've been speaking to a lot of ar arab diplomats. president trump is trying to bring isreal into the fold. yes, there is a lot of cooperation to be had but we're not going to do it fully or publicly until isreal starts to take some steps. when president trump says there's a lot of love in the world, there's not a love of isreal in the world from these arab states. also what you didn't hear president trump say is echoing what prime minister netanyahu said, a unified jerusalem, the unified capital of the jewish state. this will continue to be a pi prickly issue. this is the embrace that the israelis expected. as he goes to the palestinian territory, he's going to say very nice things to president abbas. yes, the relationship with the u.s. and isreal, it will be a very tight relationship, but i don't think they're going to get a rubber stamp from president trump like they expected. >> the israelis are encouraged that there are behind the scenes, not publicly, behind the scenes movement in terms of cooperation between isreal and various

and the united states and arab world is an arab israeliy peace deal. and the president is optimistic. and there is a lot of things that stand in the way of that and not like it is going to happen next week but somewhere down the road. >> jenna: thank you for much, john roberts in jerusalem. the president met with the prime minister in a different location and this is where we expect it to be made and dinner between the first lady and prime minister and his wife there. this is the arrival of the first couple of it is a long day and they have had had a lot of big events from tel aviv, jerusalem and western wall and a series of meetings. and the let's listen here. >> welcome to our palace. [inaudible] can you come in and sign our guest book? >> it is very modest. >> what time did you go to the wall? >> it is hard to make out what the president and prime minister are saying there. the president signed the guest book. and you heard an entering clip. and he said welcome to our palace. and it was a reference to the greeting. >> and even if they don't have fan

after 9/11 they understood whether proselytizing, and turning young arabs against them. let's not forget usama bin laden after his target was saudi arabia. usama bin laden was a saudi and he wanted to control the two mosques. he wanted to be ruling in the symbolic heart of islam. once he got that message that the venom they were spreading would hunt them they cleaned up their act. what they can't control is hard to control, the individual wealthy saudi's who fund these movements and this ugly propaganda. >> the amount of money being shifted around, as we saw rex tillerson, the former head of exxon, secretary of state, shaking hands a moment ago. >> absolutely and the saudis have more oil than everyone else put together but they have also been trying to hold the line up front because they understand the implications of the decline in oil prices. they are under enormous domestic pressure at home. 30 million people are demanding free health, free education, free benefits, free pension, they are under pressure to produce for their own people in the price of oil had been depr

not just the saudis but a many of our sunni arab allies. they were happy to see barack obama leave the white house. they felt the united states was privileging his relationship with the iranians and then he wanted to basically reshape the entire balance of political and security order in the middle east. that we were going to bring about some equilibrium between iran and the sunni powers. they didn't want this for understandable reasons. they believe, and i agree with them, the iranians are interested in a balance of power. they believe in resistance against the american-led security order. they want to destabilize american allies, weather saudi arabia, jordan, lebanon and let's not forget, beasley, their rhetoric against israel which you constantly see them pledging to destroy in supporting terrorist groups like hamas and hezbollah. they support all kinds of terrorist groups across the region. there's a lot of hope on the trump administration. with all the chaos going on in washington right now, i am not sure how effectively he can really

muslims around the world in the arab region and beyond.cognize that this is the viper that has been birthed in our bosom. as a muslim myself, i hold us responsible for allowing this toxic ideology to have nurtured, but it's coming home to roost. it's unifying muslims already, i think. i think they had lost their confidence in the last two presidential administrations of american's interest, engagement commitment from morocco through to pakistan. we think of the muslim world as the arab world. that's 330 million of them. billions live beyond the borders and they're also watching what transpires. >>> doctor, your book focuses on women living in saudi arabia. what is it like to be a female in saudi arabia and how do you possibly see that changing as relations get better with the united states? >> when i lived there right before 9/11, the religious police were extremely powerful. it was very intimidating. i was a single man, i was compelle to -- never by my employer. the national guard hospital. so i was unveiled in my work as a physician. the

united arab emirates are germany's biggest trading partner. other issues all related to the g 20 summit in july, which she, of course, will be posting. some rather difficult. climate change. emirates and saudi arabia are big consumers of fossil fuels. she was pushing them on that. solutions for syria, all of them taking rather minute numbers of refugees from the region. she apparently talked to them about that as well. some difficult subjects on the table. host: we know tomorrow she is set to meet vladimir putin in so she. -- sochi. she said she would not go to russia unless there was progress in the ukraine conflict. there has been no progress that we know of. >> again, chalk it up to the g 20. this whole road trip is laying the groundwork for that summit. a lot of difficult material on the table for her. as you know, she is a very pragmatic politician who looks to open channels of communication and see where they lead. she has not had a personal meeting with vladimir putin in two years. she has had phone calls with him. she deeply believes i

the aim is to get arab states to have a counter to run themselves.ould become like a nato deal from gulf arab states. and that is exactly the language they use. a nato type arrangement against iran. we said last week. we said last week it was a good time to leave washington and the furore that surrounded the president, with the appointment of special he was asked if he betrayed a source. just so you understand, i never mentioned the word or the name 'israel'. never mentioned it during theatconversation. you were all saying i did, so you had another story wrong. never mentioned the word israel. i think that is the first time we have heard the president confirm what intelligence sources had been keen here not to confirm which is that israel was the source of the information handed to the russians! allies who are worrying about whether they can share secrets with donald trump, the fact that he will confirm things in public that are meant to be secret, and clearly wa nted meant to be secret, and clearly wanted to... but when he sticks to the strip —— scr

the speculation here is that the arab leaders, including abbas, will present to him the 2002 arab peaceesinitiative. netanyahu hasn't accepted that. so, it has to be maneuvered to get that to move a step forward. it won't be big steps. but any movement on the peace process would be a small success for trump, as he tries to do what no president before him has succeeded in doing. you mentioned, jared kushner and ivanka trump. they haven't had any overt actions when it comes to the peace process. that's been led -- that effort has been led by another observant jew, jason greenblatt. he had meetings with both sides. nose meetings, from the perspectives of the israelis and palestinians, have been success. he listened intently, gathered ideas, asked the right questions. and it will be his input that, perhaps, guides trump on what he intends to do on the peace process. >> we're looking at live pictures in riyadh. we're expecting donald trump himself to arrive at the hotel, where they're being hosted, oren. i want to touch on something you were saying earlier. and the potential pitfalls for mr.

arab nations, muslim nations from around the world. i think the output of this, some framework agreements that are going to guide the actions going forward, concrete commitments being made as to how we will work together to defeat them, to defeat terrorism here in the region and as well as elsewhere. i think the other thing that's important is there's also an agreement to continue the dialogue, it doesn't end here. if there's a commitment to have another gcc settlement with the u.s. one year from now and one of the expectations is we will be measuring our project -- our progress towards the initiatives and agreements that were signed here and we will be looking for concrete results by which to measure each country's commitments. >> chris: gcc is the gulf council of nations. during the campaign canada trump had some tough things to say, here he is on the muslim religion. >> i think islam hates us. there's something there that is a tremendous hatred. we have to get to the bottom of it. >> chris: and here he is talking about saudi arabia.

the saudi arabia and the gulf states are sunni arabs. it's not just attacking shia arabs.bout the idea of terrorism. i hope his activities and speech address that. >> chris: i've seen a first draft of the speech that is very much that. the people that have suffered the most are sunni, the muslims were getting killed and not part of the world. we've seen other presidents make this kind of effort to try to unite the muslim world against the savages. they get lip service but then behind the scenes a lot of these muslim leaders, whether it's for payouts or for whatever reason, continue to find radicalism. what makes you think this time will be any different? >> what makes it different is eight years of a lack of leadership in the obama administration in which things really disintegrated there. what we see is all of these countries attending the summit have come to understand that allowing iran to move toward nuclear weapons has also allowed them to meddle more in all of these other countries through surrogates, this has caused problems for all of the gulf region. they now have
