hi, kimberly joe biden wanted china front and center this agenda. looks like he got it . yeah, he got it, but there are so many other things that the u. s. is also going to be discussing with its members. part of the role that the u. s. president is playing is to reassure after 4 years of donald trump, that there is a solid security commitment to that end. the united states once again, going to a firm article 5 that an attack on one. it's an attack on all as being what you'll bottom believes is the foundation of not only his multilateralism plan, but also for global security. and seeing that the rule based order that exists in the united states and around the world is something that continues to be maintained . now, in addition to china, one of the big concerns for the united states is also the issue of afghanistan, something that will also be brought up. given the fact that the u. s. continuing to draw down its forces and looking to make sure that its policies are in line with its allies. but you're right when it comes to russia when it comes to china. those are the big

joe biden. dry. c simply said, no, i want to correspond. kimberly, how can, let's talk to her about this. i don't know how upset joe biden will actually be by that. kimberly, but at least to put the market down, doesn't it? the white house, the bind administration, know where they stand at this point with this new administration in iran. yeah. and the by the ministration knows where it stands. and so what we're hearing from the national security advisor, jim sullivan, is that it's really too soon to tell if this election results in iran is going to make the primary goal of the united states. and that is, of course, reviving that 2015 agreement to live it runs nuclear program. whether or not this is going to make things better or worse. what we know is that the 2 sides with regard to the negotiations that have been going out to be in are still very far apart and some issues. but the word from the national security advisor is that the arrow is going in the right direction. now what i can tell you about political pressure that joe biden is facing. it is intense particularly on capitol hill by

national reconciliation, who attended that meeting with the us president joe biden out here with white house correspondent, kimberly healthcare sat down with abdullah abdullah afterwards to discuss what's next for afghanistan, dr. bella, thank you for joining us. you were just wrapped up this meeting with the us president. what security assurances did he provide you? prison biden assured ass, the president of upon the sun and all of us and the delegation. that while their troops will be leaving new trying and it will be completed in a few days time or a few weeks time. near hammock mentors about of afghanistan, national defense and security forces will continue. but given the taliban gains, are there going to be enough numbers in terms of security support? i see that those gains will not be per minute. i'm sure about the diff taken advantage of the gap temporarily and that that will not, that will not sustain itself. we saw when the soviets withdrew and the country descended into civil war. how can you be so confident that won't happen again? it was a completely different context. the soap with it all in the soviet

yes, president joe biden has blamed climate change or white house correspondent, kimberly how kit has more from washington dc. the problem again is one that is plaguing all the way up into.

white house correspondent, kimberly alcott has more from brussels following his meeting with nato leaders. us president joe biden, once again identifying the greatest challenges to the security alliance. continue to be china and russia says both nations are seeking to drive a wedge in that alliance. and to that end, the u. s. president forecasting how he expects to approach his meeting with the russian leader when the 2 will sit down face to face in geneva. on wednesday, the us president calling latimer putin, a worthy adversary, both right and tough. but at the same time, well, there are differences between the 2 countries. he also believes there are points of common interest. but if the united states continues to feel the impact of russian aggression then the united states says it will respond in kind. you as president, also talking about the concerns about the imprisoned russian opposition leader electing a volley. and whether he might die in prison, us president saying, and fact that he believes if that were to happen, it would be a tragedy. and also commentary on russia's perspective. when it comes to human

while, as kimberly was mentioning, russian president vladimir pierson says those talks with us present, joe biden were constructive despite many divergent positions. so not sure, fisher prescribed you. there has been no hospitality. on the contrary, our meeting to placing a constructive spirit. indeed, we have varied assessment on a number of issues, but both sides express the intention to understand each other and seek common grounds. talks were quite constructive. and as we were just discussing, both sides appeared to have agreed for their ambassador to return to their respective countries. mister watson, with regards to the return of our bachelors to their workplaces the return of the american ambassador to moscow, an armed baset or to washington, we agreed that they would return to their duties as for the timeline tomorrow or the day after that to technicality, we agreed that our foreign services will start consultations on a number of issues as well. that's not bringing out their fanatic at a james base. he's been watching all of this from london. james, successful tools that really feels li

joe biden. racy simply said no. will shortly. white house correspondent, kimberly hall kits will tell us how that's likely to be received in washington. first, let's head to sharon. you speak with dorothy jabari doors of the presence of the leg says he doesn't want yvonne's foreign policy to be defined by the nuclear agreement. why is this? well i think at this point, he's laying out very early on that he's having a bad in case this nuclear deal. does it happen? he doesn't want to be responsible or accountable for that. i think he's playing it very, very safe. he say there are a lot of other issues that name he also made reference to iran's relationship with regional powers, including salary arabia and the ongoing war and yemen. he said that those issues are something the readings are willing to move forward on, including the fact that iran does not have any issues with saudi arabia, that they are willing to sit down with them and reestablish ties. that is something that the previous administration has also hinted at in terms of yemen. he mentioned the fact that th

kimberly yeah, and this was deliberate, at least i know on the part of joe biden when he was asked repeatedly by the us media, what he was hoping to accomplish, how he was going to approach this meeting, what kind of preparation he had done. he said, look, i'm not going to forecast this, that's not how i roll basically. and so he really has kept his cars kind of close to his chest in terms of how he's going to play this in terms of the body language we've been looking at. so far it almost appears as if there is some sort of annoyance. c on the part of the russian side survey lab, rob, looking at his watch there, you know, the body language vladimir putin. it's kind of slugged back in his chair and the u . s. for it's part entity blink in the secretary state, looking around kind of wondering when the process was going to leave. and joe biden kind of looking like, can we get this started please? it seems like there is a bit of impatience on the part of all of these men, that they really are tired of the formalities and really want to roll their sleeves up and get to work. that's what they came

kimberly, well, it's not bringing out different magic editor james base. he's been across all of this for us from london. james's, we've been saying this real balancing act that was required of joe biden today. did he managed to succeed? and in that regard, i think so this was a summit which has not really got any concrete outcome in terms of any major agreement. but what it has done, i think, is diffuse some of the tension and potentially create for the dialogue. moving forward, present bite and making it quite clear though, in his words, the proof of the pudding is in the eating and he says it'll be 3 to 6 months to see whether any of these working groups they're going to set up on the nuclear security and also on cyber going to actually achieve and the thing he was very keen though to say that the, that the thing that in his view is important here with regard to russia is russia's reputation. and russia does not once have a bad reputation in the international community. and this is an interesting subject, because certainly there have been times in recent years. for example, when russia was accused by numerous groups, including the un of bombing hospitals. i remember diplomat tellin

joe biden. that often seems to work for him. worked when it came to vladimir putin. kimberly okay, thank you very much indeed. on i'm as linked activists that continue to fall incendiary balloons across the gaza border into israel. the 2nd day in a row. at least 4 new fires broken out on the israeli side. the resumption of the balloon attacks triggered israel. yes, troy sally. on wednesday. the 1st strikes on garza since cecil. i came into effect less than 4 weeks ago. israeli military planes attack us targets south of gaza city . and in con eunice you know, say it has more from gaza. they israel military carried out great in the south. think this trip mainly in units govern. there is a different locations in areas including agriculture, causing a lot of material damage. this was violating the fire place the 3 weeks ago after the recent war. an already fragile fire that has been already violated israeli military set. the strikes have come in, recalls to the in gary balloon that had blanched yesterday from the gaza strip. also in response to the flag march. that's what's takin

kimberly for the moment. thank you. and we are, of course, as we've been saying, waiting for that press conference by president joe biden. so we'll take you to that live as soon as it starts the israel's new government has got down to work a day after parliament approved the coalition by the narrowest of margins. prime minister enough, philly bennet presented his cabinet and sat down for a formal photo with the president. the 8th party coalition, which ranges from the far right to the far left. and the benjamin this in the 12 year run as prime minister. and it's already had to confront its 1st test to deciding whether to allow a controversial march by nationalists to go ahead in occupied east jerusalem on tuesday. go live now to harry force it who joins us from west jerusalem. so have they come to a decision when it comes to that march yet? well, yes, we have had the, the word from the security meeting that the new prime minister held with his top security officials. and yes, this brought this march. we'll go ahead that the religious nationalist and right wing is wanted to i straight through the muslim quarter in the he

kimberly how kit has more from washington with wild fires burning in the western united states and a heat wave intensifying droughts. us president joe biden convened a meeting with governors on what to do about it. we know this is, this is becoming a regular cycle and we know it's getting worse. in fact, the threat of western wildfires this year is as severe as it's ever been. temperatures are storing on the west coast of the united states and canada. cities like seattle and portland, known for their moderate temperatures, are breaking heat records and struggling with water shortages in vancouver, canada. the heat wave is being blamed for more than 60 deaths with the tall expected to rise with wildfires now a year round. not seasonal problem fighting, told governors. he's giving firefighters a pay raise to $15.00 an hour to help keep western state staff and prepared to fight fires whenever they hit truth and we're playing catch up. but his administration also announced it's doubled the funding to help cities prepare for extreme weather disasters, among other initiatives to combat climate change. in his $1.00 trillion dollar infrastructure

joe biden for initiating the close door meeting. geneva button responded by saying it's always better to meet face to face white house correspondent. kimberly how could is there in geneva? a bit of a chaotic scene as things got underway. what we have heard in terms of the experience by reporters as they saw that photo opportunity of the 2 leaders flanked with their secretary state as well as foreign minister, was a lot of pushing and shoving and jostling between the u. s. media and the russian media, in fact, what we're hearing is that it got so chaotic at one point that the swiss security had to essentially kind of break it up if you will, and threatened to keep both sides of the reporting teams out from being able to cover this event, so not a very good start, at least in terms of media relations. let's hope the things in the close door session of between the 2 leaders and the foreign ministers goes somewhat better. israel has carried out the fence as rice and garza since a sci fi came into effect less than 4 weeks ago. it's mandatory says warplanes attacked hamas target south of garza city. and in con eunice be bought at least 4 new 5. b

kimberly good to see you. why did the u. s. think these as strikes when necessary right now? well, as the pentagon statement has been very clear, the u. s. president joe biden believes that these strikes are defensive in nature, and it is important to note that this is the 2nd time since the start of the year that this type of action has been taken. the argument being that these are attacks on us personnel is that are being conducted by a ron fax militia. and as a result, the united states is trying to send a very clear message that this type of behavior will not be tolerated. also important to note that this comes at a very delicate time because of course the united states is try very hard to revive the discussions that have been ongoing. a 6 round a 7th to be scheduled in vienna to live it runs nuclear program. and the feeling is that i, as the talks are being conducted, it's important to send a very clear message, sharon, where it stands, what the united states will tolerate and will not tolerate. so this is something that comes at a delicate time of fragile time. but the united states feeling that it needs to send a message of force, and there's been so

kimberly, is there any common ground, any low hanging fruit if you like? well, it's interesting because initially reported and went out with the pool report that in fact, when joe biden was asked sitting alongside vladimir putin, if he trusted him, the u. s. president appeared to nod, but what we're hearing from the white house communication team doing a little bit of clarification on that. not as in fact that the, they said the us precedent was really nodding in general to the commotion of shouted questions, but not in any way conveying that there was any trust between the leader. so that's our starting point. add to that, leading up to it. there was a bit of name calling between the 2 leaders in their respective interviews with the media. so this is the building block on which they try to move forward. we should point out, but the bar has been set pretty low in terms of what can be achieved. this meeting is expected to last, roughly 4 to 5 hours and will only find out what happens in what areas they did have any break through. was those press conferences following the meetings occur, the 1st one will be with the russian leader vladimir putin followed by giving the

kimberly hawkins in brussels. just another note on the russian president who has told us tv network, he is open to a possible prison swap with the united states. as i mentioned, he'll meet joe biden in geneva on wednesday. there are 2 former us marines current imprisoned in russia. one of them serving 16 years for espionage, the highest profile russian prisoner in the us as victor boots, an armed trafficker, who once supplied arms to war torn countries. now, in an interview with al jazeera, the egyptian foreign minister, some show cri, as hinted, cairo is opening to repairing its strange tides. with turkey, the 2 sides fell out following the gyptian armies toppling of a democratically elected president. mohammed morsey back in 2013 the hardware. statements from the turkish side showed interest in developing the relationship and placing it in the right context, which led us to hold sessions of exploratory consultations during which we expressed our desire to reestablish normal relations on the firm basis. expected in such relations, namely, mutual respect, not to interfere in each other's internal affairs and to work towards establishing common interest that he was on to other new

kimberly stowe. public affairs and former managing editor of time magazine, rick. with the summit two days away, does his time with the g7 help joe biden going into this summit with putin, and if so, how? >> sure, brian. i think it gives them some wind at his back. he has that kind of united front with him to both talk to putin and confront putin. i noticed in that interview with keir simmons and putin, putin turned it around and said, yes, it shows how important i am and how serious the president is about me and russia that he conferred with the g7. i think it empowers biden, and i think the administration has done a really deft job of tell -- telegraphing what's going to come up. it's much easier to raise something in a dialogue if you said in advance you're going to raise it, so i think that's all been very smart. >> phil, given that biden's agenda is right now stalled in the legislature, to put it gently, is any of this presupposing he has a good outing against putin at the summit, it looks like positive reviews from the g7, any of this convertible to the president upon arrival back home? >> you know, brian, yes and no. i don't kno

biden transition. she is a professor at -- your ship -- ghost of the podcast sisters in law along with other friends of ours. joe wine-banks, and kimberly atkins. also back with us, rick single. former secretary of state for public to and public affairs, for managing dinner -- time magazine, and rick, given you history in this area with the summit two days away, does his time with the g7 help joe biden and going into this summit with putin and if so, how? >> sure, brian. i think it gives him some wind. he has a kind of united front. confronting putin is his main interest. i doubt it's -- the interview with putin kind of turned around and said he conferred with the g7 beforehand. i think it empowers biden. i think they -- the administration has done a deft job telegraphing much of what will come out. it's much easier to raise something in a dialog that you've set in advance. i think it's all been very smart. >> phil, given that biden's agenda is right now stalled in the legislature to put in gently some new regard. is any of this, presupposing is a good outing against putin at the summit, it looks like positive reviews from the g7 -- is

kimberly, you tweeted earlier, if a single person is surprised by this news about manchin, they haven't been paying attention. tell me more and tell me how this now complicates things for president biden. >> yeah, so joe manchin has been signaling for quite some time that he does not want to end the filibuster because he wants to promote bipartisanship. as if the filibuster itself is any sort of guarantee of bipartisanship, it is not. or as if bipartisanship cannot be achieved without it, which it can. it's a matter of every individual senator voting the way that they want to vote. there's nothing stopping republicans and democrats from coming together on this piece of legislation or any other. and so he's been signaling that for a really long time. he's actually been getting frustrated with reporters who keep asking him about it. so we saw this coming from a long time. and democrats saw this coming. i'm certain that the president himself, too, saw this coming. so i agree with sahil, this is a major showdown that ended with a whimper, but i think we saw that coming far down the road. >> sahil, here's my question. is this really just manchin, or are there other senate democrats who actually agree with
