wherever we find them, in general during the biden visit did everything to demonstrate the middle east the united states is not going to leave together. i will be very clear the us will remain in the middle east, we will be active in the region. we will not go away and leave russia and china or iran in a vacuum. they could take advantage, but the chief is wondering. the states are not even to hold back someone's number one task to save. warring economy inflation threatens the well-being of millions of americans, the head of the treasury admitted america may face a recession, lower prices for fuel for payden is already a matter of political survival. now his rating barely exceeds 30%, this is the worst indicator for a head of state since the second world war, and even the democratic party does not want to see a canoe again. yena in the next elections. however, neither requests nor threats forced the leaders of the arab world to increase the volume of oil supplies, the kingdom of saudi arabia declares that the maximum oil production per day will not exceed 15 million barrels. we don't have enough storage

increasingly the world has seen the middle east through the lens of opening and opportunity. let me state clearly that the united states is going to remain an active and engaged partner in the middle east. as the world grows more competitive and the challenges more complex, it is becoming clear to me that -- with the successes of the middle east. we will not walk away and leave a vacuum to be filled by china, russia, or iran. we will seek to build on this moment with active, principled american leadership. our new framework for the middle east has five key principles. i would like to briefly share them with you today. first, the united states will support and strengthen partnership with countries that subscribe to rules based international order. we will make sure that those countries can defend themselves against foreign threats. the united states and each of the countries around this table are a central part of that order because they reject the use of brute force to change borders. when the entire gcc plus egypt and jordan voted to condemn russia's invasion of ukraine, it was a core moment. it showed sovereig

middle east. the united states is not going to leave, even if what circumstances. i will be very clear the us will remain in the middle east we will be active in the region as the world becomes more competitive and the challenges we face become more and more complex it only becomes clearer how connected american interests are. with the middle east, we will not leave and we will not leave russia to china or iran, a vacuum that they could use, but the main interest of the states is not even in holding someone back the number one task to keep their economy growing inflation, already now it directly threatens the well-being of millions of americans, the head of the us treasury admitted that if it is not possible to bring it down, america will face a recession, and rising prices primarily spur expensive fuel, therefore, for biden. finding a solution to this problem has already become a matter of political survival. now his approval rating is barely above 30%, this is the worst result for a head of state since the end of world war ii, and even in the democratic party, mos

middle east. >> the united states is gonna remain an active and engaged partner in the middle east. as the world grows more competitive, the challenges we face more complex, it is only becoming clear to me that how closely the world and america's interests are, with the successes in the middle east. we will not walked away. and leave a vacuum to be filled by china, russia, or iran. >> milwaukee will likely be the host for the 2024 republican national convention. it now heads to a final reproof of all process, after the gop recommended the city on friday. -- donald trump has signaled he wants to be on that stage as the nominee. telling your magazine, he's already made its decision, the only question is whether to announce his bid before or after the midterm elections. we go beyond the headlines now with nbc's julie chester on capitol hill and kelly o'donnell long distance there from saudi arabia. what does the committee want to hear from the secret service? >> alex, the homeland security inspector general said that the secret service erased text messages that it had requested from th

e with russia is to be at war the largest and most powerful militarily states in the middle east iran yes, and on the other hand, of course, the unitedink were forced to go to this rhetoric. and why, because what is the pressure against iran, but israel insists, e. and saudi arabia which remain key pillars of american influence in the middle east with key allies in the united states and in my opinion the biden administration is in a very difficult situation where, on the one hand, it is forced to proclaim this harsh rhetoric in order to try to return the trust of israel and saudi arabia on an anti-iranian basis, but on the other on the other hand, it still proclaims commitment to a joint comprehensive plan of action to resolve the iranian nuclear program says that it is necessary to achieve the return of the united states to this deal, from which the united states at one time. president donald trump has deduced that the united states still prefers diplomacy that the united states prefers diplomacy has recently stated. the official representative of the state department net price is already after biden's visit to the middle east , too

the middle east expect from the us? all the countries in the middle east, they know that the united states, especially interested in their all projection and also in the position or an international politic so biden has made clear that he's also there, as you said, to strengthen relations with them. and in his own words, he doesn't want to leave a gap in international relations for russia or china to feel he wants to avoid a stronger ties between saudi arabia or the middle east and russia or china. but the truth is at that to region already maintains relations with these countries, russian and china and, and now they know what they are, the ones who can choose who they want to cooperate with saudi arabia wants to at present itself again as one of the most important partners for the u. s. m, on an international level, and that has been their main message from this a visit, and biden is supporting this message with this historic visit and the pictures we saw. ok, d, w correspondent cowley, not shimaya washington. many thanks. a reminder of our top story, southern europe is suffering a record break in heat wave firefighters

from the boss, what is his interest there, i ask, well, for many in the middle east , he gives the united states money. with a very bad reputation, if at all with any reputation, because what is he doing there? will it prevent iran from getting out of sanctions? no, it won't hurt . it won't help. but it won't hurt. expansionist policy in the middle east, this is the second. well, the settlement of some other issues related to the states is the third, this is the way to unlock sanctions, but for the start of the nuclear one, he can meet with anyone . this will not affect the decision on sanctions erdogan needs syria. erdogan needs ethan's success before the elections. something must be done about syrian refugees. syrian refugees have become a real point of tension in turkish cities. pogroms do not accept them. public opinion is very negative about them. the east of the country which is now controlled by the kurds and plans the so-called return of refugees home in order to relieve this tension in order to establish a 30 kilometer zone he is trying to talk with the russians and the iranians, that i

before this visit, joe was going to the middle east, so i read the information that the united states of america and saudi arabia agreed to help ukraine with the export of grain from ukrainian ports. there was not much of this information, but i found it. can you tell me more specifically how exactly the united states of america and saudi arabia can help ukraine to export grain through the sportive? in fact , there are several ways. well, first of all, we understand that there are auditors their own potential for military influence in the middle east, namely to syria and other countries of the middle east, the russians mainly exported grain stolen in ukraine, that is, in fact, the first option of such cooperation is simply a banal stop of these of trawlers and inspection. what is the origin of this grain, where did it come from, and why exactly are the russians exporting it? this is the first option. a hub, that is, many supplies , including food products, are routed precisely through saudi arabia, not only through its ports, but also through its airports, through its road networks, a

the middle eastern center of research, please contact us, mr. sergey, so let's talk about the tour of the president of the united states, joe biden, to the middle eastt now, the president of the united states is in saudi arabia, and the results of this visit will of course depend on whether the russian federation will be able to get its position in the world economy despite western sanctions. i think this can be said without exaggeration, on the other hand, the us president is in an absolutely catastrophic situation from the point of view of this visit, he is needed to negotiate with the leadership of saudi arabia, in particular with the hereditary principle of this state, and on the other hand, he himself sharply criticized the prince for violating human rights for his possible involvement in the murder of journalist khashoggi. and by the way, he did this during his current stay in saudi arabia arabia how to solve it? i can already see that on the one hand, some observers say that you should choose the least evil, and on the other hand, they say that if you allow ashoni's crimes today, tomorrow you can also allow putin. what is the difference ? to

the middle east. between the united states, between the us partners wherever possible.on and connection. how many years of team trying to connect electricity to the gcse grades? i have been briefed on it in 2016 when i was vice president of the united states. i said, i was vice president of the united states. isaid, let's i was vice president of the united states. i said, let's get it done. today, finally, after years of false starts and failed efforts, thanks to the efforts of so many around the tables, it is done. so many projects linking the region and this new trade deal with the neighbours, investments in egypt and jordan. building connections, we will all see the benefits for our people's and we will grow. first, the united states will always hold high the human rights and values in the charter. foundationalfreedoms are charter. foundational freedoms are foundational to charter. foundationalfreedoms are foundational to who we are as americans. it is our dna. it is also because we know that the future will because we know that the future will be won by the countrie

energy security due to the sanctions against russia, one of the topics of the middle east tour of the president of the united statesden , also, according to analysts, putin and biden are now competing for middle east us leader tries to limit the influence of iran and china and rally international condemnation of the russian war, speaking at the summit of the leaders of six countries of the persian gulf, as well as egypt, jordan, and iraq. biden thanked the egyptians and jordanians for their support at the un general assembly for the resolution condemning russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine. he also assured that your tone will not leave the middle east, leaving a vacuum that will be filled by china, russia or iran, the owner of the white house reminded in many areas, the united states can help to achieve a positive result. in the region and beyond, russia launched a cruel and groundless war against ukraine here in the middle east, iran is destabilizing the situation, rebuilding all the destroyed objects in the de-occupied territories requires 17 billion dollars, that is 7,000 high-rise buildings, 29,000 private

visited saudi arabia, therefore, he went to the middle east, with a very specific purpose , which meets their national purely national interest of the united statesey are in the middle east we are spending here, here this is the summit and we are trying to solve the problems of the region, based on the national interests of those countries in the regions where these problems exist. what is the purpose of the russian president's visit to iran, which has just begun? konstantin paninsky yure shomov andrey morozov pavel rudakov channel one. now the latest data from our ministry of defense in the course of a special operation to protect the donbass, the russian military destroyed the temporary deployment point of the right sector, the organization, let me remind you , is banned in our country, up to 200 militants have been eliminated. 24 and several drones also hit seven nationalist command posts and many warehouses with ammunition. in the area of ​​​​the settlement of the valley of the donetsk people of the republic, high-precision weapons struck at the combat positions of the battalion of the 81st airmobile brigade, the armed forces of ukraine, more

and increasingly, the world a c in the middle east, the middle east, to the lens of opening an opportunity. let me state clearly that the united states is going to remain an active, engage partner in the middle east. as a world grows more competitive and the challenges we face more complex is only becoming clear to me. that how close the inner woven america's interest are with the successes in the middle east will not walk away and leave a vacuum to be filled by china. russia were ran. we'll seek to bill on this moment with active principle, american leadership. our new framework for the middle east has 5 key principles, like to very briefly share them with you. first, united states will support and strengthen partnerships with countries that subscribe to the rules based international order. and we will make sure that these, those countries can defend themselves against foreign threads. united states in each of the countries around this table are in the central part of that order. because or reject the use of brute force to change borders. an entire g, c, c plus egypt, and jordan voted in the united nations general assembly to

stressing that these meetings are really about trying to reset that relationship between the middle east and the united states, right? >> they certainly do. they believe this is a moment that the u.s. can reset the overall u.s. relationship with countries in the middle east, and they're working to do that right now. president biden, right now, kristin, is laying out his mini strategy, on this, his last day o a trip to the region. he's talking about everything from security to economics and human rights. but it's his interaction with the saudi crown prince mohammad bin salman that's looming large over the summit. the president said he was straightforward and direct when he met with him and he says he believes the crown prince was behind the killing of columnist jamal khashoggi. president biden was also fiercely criticized for his fist bump with the crown prince during his first visit during their first meeting yesterday. the publisher of "the washington post," by the way, called it, and i'm quoting now, said it was shameless. he said -- once again, i'm quoting -- it projected a level of inty manicy and comfort

so coo biden was traveling to the middle east with a goal that meets only the national interests of the united states. not the middle east, but we are trying to solve the problems of the region based on the national interests of the countries within this region. going back to the trilateral formats, despite the immense contrast in the interests when it comes to the syrian conflict, it was thanks to the efforts of the leaders of the 3 nations, russia, turkey, and iran. 4 years ago that syria saw light at the end of the tunnel ahead of another summit in town, ron, the gremlins spokesperson cold, the trilateral agreements, the only international format that is keeping serious stable. here's what else we heard from mr. pess. gov. in his latest interview, graham, i'd say to give you the new choice to the main purpose of the visa to iran east, to participate in the summit of the ascent troika, the guarantor countries of the syrian settlement process, russia, iran, and turkey, which was this is a very important format that has shown its viability and is the only international format that is currently contri
