they're both currently in bethlehem. they are due to a sit down and have a meeting, which is, as we've been hearing from my correspondence, not expected to last very long. president biden then heads to saudi arabia next. so both the leaders meeting at the church of the nativity in bethlehem. well, prior to arriving in bethlehem, a u. s. president biden was at the augusta victoria hospital in east jerusalem, where he was meeting with all the representatives of palestinian civil society organizations and a head of that meeting. president biden had he, he made a pledge of a $100000000.00 to support hospitals in support of the palestinian health services . and then at the end of the speech, he had an exchange with one of the hospital staff. let's have a listen to that. i have a question about hospitals there. sure you don't, i'll do it privately. i am an american really seaman from new jersey visiting policy and i vote for you. i am a mirror with intensive care gonna mark hosted with it. thank you. no problem have or what we

right behind me in the old city of bethlehem. now talking to people here, you know, they have very mixed opinions about that. many say it's good to you they, they welcome that he's coming here to put out the realities here. back on the agenda, the policy is ready. conflict has not been really very high on the agenda. around a globally speaking. there are also some many pilots into the hope that a president biden will talk about. a u. s. m an american, palestinian and journalist trevino. aclu was killed by covering a israeli military rate and the occupied west bank and the noise in at janine talking about her and calling also for accountability are there. so on the other hand, also people are saying, you know, they don't expect a lot of are, you know, changes on the ground here from this visit may be some gestures might be announced, but it won't change anything here when it comes to an end of the occupation that many people are hoping for or for their own state in the future. okay, but as for what's on the agenda today, biden, we

you're watching live pictures from bethlehem, where they news conference is expected. any moment will bring you biden's remarks. life here on d. w use. first, let's bring in our correspondence tanya kramer, in bethlehem. tanya, what are you expecting from this sir? from these talks my yes presidential by navarro chair about over an hour ago, slightly behind schedule. he was visiting a policy in hospital in east jerusalem or before i know he had been holding, holding talks with the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas. and he said, we are expecting some statements from both leaders. so to understand a bit more of what is there on the table, what both have to say, we understand it might be some more measures being announced them initiatives, like for example, upgrading the mobile system in the occupied westbank. but also in garza, i from the 3 g to 4 g. that would be a really a relief for many people here. but also other measures are like he already announced at the hospital that shit there was a pledge for some more aid and financial aid that is very important that this

in bethlehem . the al jazeera correspondence was shot in the head by is really forces in may, while reporting on raids in the occupied westbank. it's hard wrenching is so many palestinians, railways have lost their lives just this year in the united states to suffer loss as well. and including the killing of sher rain, i blew out k r kelly. and she was an american american citizen, and a proud palestinians. and she was performing very vital work and an independent media and vital work of democracy. her death is enormous loss to the essential work of sharing with the world, the story, the palestinian people. i hope that her legacy, her legacy will expire more young people to carry on her work and reporting the truth and telling stories that are too often overlooked. united states will continue to assist on a fall and transparent accounting of her death and will continue to stand up for media freedom everywhere in the world. let's bring in him. she's joining us from bethlehem to talk about what joe bi

let's ta ke let's take you back now to the west bank, bethlehem, the occupied west bank, bethlehem, thedent biden has committed another £100 billion to support palestinian hospitals. —— 100 million. he arrived before going to the presidential compound. it is expected to these talks could be difficult, because under president trump the palestinian authority broke ties with the us, saying its middle east peace plan was biased towards israel. the biden administration has been trying to rebuild relations, reversing aid cuts and committing $100 million to support palestinian hospitals. the president has also restated his backing for the creation of a palestinian state, the long—running conflict with israel. but he said it is not feasible in the near future. after this official greeting, they are to hold private talks, then a news conference afterwards. we will bring you more when that happens. the un has told the bbc it's tackling sexual harassment and a male dominated culture within its ranks head on. this follows fresh claims of there being a �*boys club' at the top of the organisation — a

president biden after his visit here in bethlehem will head straight from tel aviv to jeddah. and they have just announced this morning an agreement that the saudi arabiians will now allow all israeli flights to fly over saudi air space. doesn't seem like a big deal, but it is a big deal when you think about the relationship between israel and saudi arabia. it would have been unthinkable a few years ago and this is very much being seen as those small steps toward what the israelis hope will one day be normalized relations with saudi arabia same as they have with the uae and bahrain. >> cnn's hadas gold is in jerusalem. thank you for that. >>> barack ravid from axios is joining me live from tel aviv. and i want to pick up where hadas left off. the white house praising saudi arabia's decision to open air space to all carriers. and as we've been reporting, this decision paving the way, the white house hopes, for a more integrated stable and secure middle east region which they say is vital for the security and prosperity of the united states. this has been in the works of course

let's go to our correspondence needed abraham, who has lived for us in bethlehem, anita so we've just had from the president bite. and then he spoke about the death of serene a block. me i wonder what the reaction has been to what he had to say. well for palestinian they are wary of using the word death. it's killing and we know who killed her as far as paulson is concerned. so yes, president why didn't mention to her? although he is some baldwin, us, us one to have it as transparent and cool investigation. but it's saying here is a lip service and we've seen already from the u. s. s. statements on july ford. basically using fluid terminal to do when it comes to the involvement of the forces incoming city. allison is 1000000. do not expect that justice will be served from the you well, but they're not going to self demanding justice and accountability for those who killed shooting off land. this is why we've seen the journalist sending the press conference wearing this shirt. the hatch and fixture has just the for sure we as well as a picture that was on a chair facing by then. but he

to condemn israel's treatment of palestinians assigned put up in ramallah and bethlehem. say mister president, this is a pottage president biden is to meet to the palestinian president my whatever us in bethlehem on friday the u. s. inflation rate it a new 40 year high of 9 point one percent. a shopper increase than have been predicted ices of food and housing are increasing much faster than the average u. s. income. low all prices have dropped to little. the cost of petrol and diesel is still far higher than a year ago, unless say, black and hispanic americans, the hardest hit by rising costs. why cannot, has more from washington dc. these latest figures indicate that inflation continues to sole. it is up by some 1.5 percent on last month because which were in themselves a record high. so this blow to the bite and administration, which has been intent on reducing inflation, but also it scared the stock market because now very clearly the reserve bank is going to increase interest rates in coming months, maybe weeks, in order to try and come to this ongoing inflation, pre

let's go first to hadas gold who is in bethlehem.is there trying to show his commitment and also as you mentioned and what the palestinians were going to be listening for he mentioned shireen abu ackley. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, and that is something that so many palestinians were going to be listening to and in front of him you couldn't see it on camera but in front of him many if not all of the palestinian reporters who were covering that press conference were wearing those black t-shirts with shireen's face on them, i also believe that there was an empty seat left for shireen abu ackley with her picture on it because if she was still here with us she would be reporting on this press conference as one of the top reporters for al jazeera. he did talk about her death is an enormous loss, her legacy should inspire young people and he did continue to call for full accounting and transparency into her death. her family called for president biden to meet with them during this trip, he is not going to be doing so although secretar

biden will meet with mahmoud abbas as i said in bethlehem on friday, but almost no one as we've been reporting is expecting any major breakthroughs. this report by hadas gold. >> reporter: abbas made a rare venture into english five years ago. several months later, that hope proved to have been terribly misplaced. >> it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. >> reporter: under donald trump, u.s. policy tilted heavily towards israel. le palesthe palestinian office washington was closed. and almost all economic aid to the palestinians was switched off. so when joe biden won the election, there was great relief among many in the palestinian community. but that relief has little to show in terms of action. the biden administration highlights renewed financing. about half a billion dollars, mostly on schools, hospitals and other humanitarian aid projects. further $100 million is set to be announced on this trip including some money for palestinian hospitals in east jerusalem. but politically the white house seems unwilling to pressurize really over continued e

but still seems, after joe biden's meeting today, very far away. >> this presidential arrival in bethlehemks a revival of relations. there were flowers and handshakes like old friends, but, this is still a strained visit. the palestinians pulled the plug on u.s. ties under donald trump. they saw if they hope for a new embrace, they seemed disappointed again. president biden: even if the ground is not right at this moment to restart negotiations, the u.s. and my administration will not give up on trying to bring palestinians and israelis on both sides closer together. the palestinian leader said time was running out on their hope for an independent state, part of the so-called two state solution. he said the chance might not remain for long. mr. biden did come with a checkbook, gestures to ease live for some palestinians. like millions of pounds for east jerusalem hospitals, this one specializing in neonatal care was nearly slept -- shut down when mr. trump slashed aid. palestinians say that the money does not solve big problems. >> if our government won't support us. >> on his way in presi

>>bethlehem. thank you. also with us, bobby gosh from bloomberg. i want to pick up where hadas left off there, the nurse saying to the president we need more justice. she talked about the disappointment even as there are these steps to re-establish the relationship. what is this going to achieve today for the president? >> i don't think that it will achieve a great deal. what we've seen from american presidential visits to israel and to the palestinian territories before is that there is a little flutter of goodwill, some gestures like the ones both hadas and jeremy have talked about. but then the american president goes away and then things go back to where they were between israel and the palestinians. the real progress has to come in the period between american presidential visits. there is not a whole lot that the biden administration is committing in that respect. perhaps they cannot. because also there is a political context to this. only in a matter of months by october israel will have another election, may have a whole different government

at that moment, the president of palestine, mahmoud abbas, was already waiting for the guests of bethlehemard of honor, the president. cardiobass was rather symbolic ritual in nature, but it was the obligatory passage along the formation, stretched out on command, that the guests calmly gave in, not just joe biden walked carefully and very slowly. c-conference and raisa palestinian journalists came with questions, while shareen abu atle, an american citizen journalist from al jazeera , was believed to have been killed here by an israeli sniper in the palestinian city of janin in may during a live broadcast. she was supposed to be at today's summit and her colleagues left an empty chair for sharin. biden. he promised to investigate the story of the death of a journalist, whose name, unfortunately, he could not pronounce, correctly, leaving the residence of the palestinian rais and examining bethlehem. temple christmas joe biden mentally was already in r and poison on the eve of american diplomats. they managed to convince the israelis not to object to the transfer by egypt to the saudi king

this is the scene in bethlehem.les have struck civilian buildings in central ukraine, killing at least 23 people including three children, according to ukrainian officials. a series of video and still images posted on social media have appeared showing the "last minutes" of the life of a four—year—old liza dmitrieva, who had down's syndrome. 100 more were reported injured in the attack in vinnytsia to the south west of kyiv. president volodymyr zelensky condemned the attack. the general staff of the ukrainian armed forces has also said it repelled russian attacks nearfour villages in donetsk region, in its morning update on facebook on 15july. earlier, we heard from our correspondent in kyiv, joe inwood. i asked him if this marks a shift in the war. i do not think it is a shift, but this is a pattern we have seen quite a lot recently, these attacks, these missile attacks fired by the russians onto civilian targets way away from the front lines. previously, the attacks seemed to target infrastructure targets or milit

the suffering they face in terms of properties taken by bethlehem and jerusalem.ty i'm sure president biden has also seen the only reality is one state reality. which the human rights world now are talking about in terms of apartheid from the human rights watch in the u.s. to the uk based amnesty international. this is the reality. to break away from that reality, to end that reality your question is absolute right question. we need action rather than just statements. what president biden said in the press conference was absolutely clear. the support of two-state solution. that unilateral action was cease. palestinians to get equal measures of freedom and dignity. but that needs action and action would mean reversing the destructive policies of the trump administration. he should have visited in east jerusalem. >> hold on. i want to ask you about that. do you think president biden is closer today to reopening the u.s. diplomatic consulate in east jerusalem or the plo office in washington d.c. where you served and i got to know you? both shut down in the trump admi

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, 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

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 all that's the white house allies. 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, felt ignored by the us despite the high profile visit. i think his visit to little him. it's like a legit visit to the church. our president. you can see what, how much of the time he's been to his own and how many times you spend and all sites in our side. he's spent like just one hours. we are on that before 73 years. i don't think's just like this visit. we can put 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. why do we need the freedom? so we hope so, some of our suffering as well as the names we should see, the will, he should see how we present a check for the even a pass, ve
