t the crown prince and mr biden.ave already made a major gift to the saudis by the president being there. in the campaign he said they should be a pariah and now he has gone to the capital. and i don't think that the capital. and i don't think that the saudis have quite compensated us for that tremendous gift but i expect in a couple of weeks we will hear an announcement officially unrelated to the trip regarding oil production levels and hopefully that will be enough to help the economy and help us be able to deal with russia. ., .., and help us be able to deal with russia. ., .. ., ., and help us be able to deal with russia. ., ., ., , ., russia. you call it a gift that you think it was _ russia. you call it a gift that you think it was correct _ russia. you call it a gift that you think it was correct to _ russia. you call it a gift that you think it was correct to give i russia. you call it a gift that you think it was correct to give that i think it was correct to give that gift? think it was correct to give tha

in israel, mr. bidenast resort, because i think he wanted to show strong assurances to rael. but as we heard, he is still saying he wants diplomacy to succeed and is hoping to still revive the nuclear agreement. problem is, talks have stalled and time is running out for that agreement resume. mr. biden is consulting with regional partners. thatncludes israel, but also states in the arab gulf, about what to do if that agreement fails because the gulf states also see the iran threat and what mr. biden could be exploring is a military alliance between israel and arabs against iran should talk not succeed. that is in the talking phase and is not going to be something they announce. >> that is quite different. also, we have been watching over the past day, the warm response mr. biden. when he arrived on the runway in tel aviv, israel. he is going to be meeting with the palestini president in the coming days, i think tomorrow, and i am wondering what is expected? >> the mood music is completely different. becau

one of mr bidens _ still very much there. exactly.mr bidens messages is - still very much there. exactly. one of mr bidens messages is that - still very much there. exactly. one i of mr bidens messages is that things are getting better with him he has tried to project a very optimistic demeanour during his diagnosis. and let people know that things are better in the country. but there is no question that covid is still part of the fabric of everyday life here in the united states for the many people are being infected just as the president. people are being infected 'ust as the presidentfi much for that. you're watching bbc news. the headlines on bbc news. supporters of the powerful iraqi cleric moqtada al—sadr stage a sit—in inside the country's parliament — after storming �*the building for the second time in three days. a major disaster has been declared in the us state of kentucky after floods killed at least 25 people. president zelensky of ukraine has repeated the government's order for the mandatory evacuation of people in the e

mr. biden reiterating his support for a two state solution to the israeli/palestinian conflict, yet no apparent plans for reviving the middle east peace process. meanwhile the white house confirms that president biden will meet one-on-one with saudi crown prince mohammad bin salman when he is here in jeddah. thursday in injuries, mr. biden and yair lapid agreed that iran should never be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. let's bring in cnn's hadas gold live this hour in jerusalem. as you and i speak, president biden speaking at a hospital in east jerusalem. let's just talk about what he has achieved on this, the first leg of his trip in israel. >> reporter: first leg of the trip was focused on the israelis, he spent about a day and a half in jerusalem meeting with various israeli leaders. and for israel, it was important to show that the relationship with the united states still stays strong no matter what short of political chaos is happening internally in israel because yair lapid is now care

mr. bidens. to his face that he believes he's responsible for the killing of washington post contributor jamal khashoggi. the president defended his visit to saudi arabia despite its poor human rights record, saying the country is vital to the security in the region. mr. biden walked away without any major announcements on increasing the country's oil supply as the price of gas remains high back here at home. we have a lot of news to get to tonight and cbs' ed o'keefe will start us off from saudi arabia, good evening ed. >> reporter: with the bump of two fists, president biden today gave media-savvy saudi crown prince mohammad bin salman the viral moment he's been seeking. the president was reluctant to meet with m.b.s., as he's known, having denounced him publicly after u.s. intelligence confirmed the saudi leader ordered the murder of one of his critics, washington post columnist, jamal khashoggi. mr. biden said he raised the killing at the start of his meeting with m.b.s., where the fist bum

mr. biden has made no secret of that.ntry i think will help sort of rehabilitate to a certain extent his image, certainly in the united states but around the world in the region, and even within his own country, this is a man who will be by all indications the future king and given the longevity of saudi kings, he could be around for 30, 40 years, perhaps even longer. so he needs this. >> you bring up interests versus values. so i suppose the indication is that the philosophy is out of window. so i wonder your reaction to saudi's activist who had an interesting interview with jake tapper. and here is what she thinks that president biden should do. watch. >> the important thing is how mbs perceives it. for him it is a big win, biden is coming to saudi arabia and he says that he will mention human rights, but what does that mean? we need to have concessions after biden leaves, we have to see release of political prisoners, we have to see the travel bans lifted. and another thing is to see that president biden is meeting wit

mr. biden will stress the state to state relationship with israel and not focus on the importance of any one person deal. the leaders are also expected to sign a statement vowing to never let iran obtain a nuclear weapon. the more controversial leg of mr. biden's trip comes saturday when he will meet here with saudi leaders in jetta. the u.s. president had promised to make the kingdom is pariah for its role in the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi. before he left washington, mr. biden spoke with israel's channel 12 about his objectives. >> the trip is about stability in the middle east. it is overwhelming ins interests of the united states of america to have more stability in the united states. the more israel is integrated as an equal and accepted, the more likely there is going to be a means by which they can eventually come to accommodation with the palestinians s down th road. >> let's get you live to elliott g gotkine. is it clear exactly what it is that president biden hopes to tak

i think the other thing that is notable through mr biden's trip is notable through mr biden's trip iseen the israelis and the americans. but it was only mr biden appeared to be signing up to that particular part of it and the commitment was way down the document itself, nearto commitment was way down the document itself, near to the bottom. had even fewer words in a section about science and food security. i spoke to one palestinian official i asked if there was anything that he welcomed in a document? he simply said no. on friday mr biden will head to eastjerusalem to the occupied red boot west bank to meet the palestinian prime minister i think there will be a challenging game for a few ways. not least of which is that the relations between the israeli and and the palestinians fell apart under president trump and it is taking mr biden a long time to try and rebuild them. you're watching bbc news headlines... attorney general suella braverman is out of the race for the leadership. leaving just five candidates left to be the next by minister. suella braverman says she will now back li

on his way in, mr biden passed through israel's west bank separation barrier.not putting pressure on israel over the long—stalled peace process and ending its occupation. today, he pledged accountability over the death of the palestinian american journalist shireen abu akleh, who was killed during an israeli army raid and became a symbol for palestinians of injustice. his trip confirms this region's politics are shifting and the palestinians feel increasingly marginalised. he flew direct from tel aviv to saudi arabia — a first, as arab states warm up their relations with the israelis. tom bateman, bbc news, jerusalem. temperatures are already soaring across continental europe with wildfires burning in parts of france, spain and portugal. there are also high winds and tinder—dry conditions fuelling the flames. 281 people are known now to have died in spain and portugal due to the high temperatures. as our correspondent bethany bell reports. forests are aflame in southern europe. after days of searing heat, wildfires continue to spread. in southwestern france hun

mr biden will also meet the palestinian president.d to six candidates without throwing up a clear favourite. the next vote takes place on thursday and the process will take until september to come up with a winner.

sidzempin and mr. biden i do not rule out that there was precisely this question about the fact that it is possible to follow and provoke the situation, and i rule out that there was a request from the side to mr. biden to somehow float on his colleague and not despite the fact that the united states of america still stands, the institutes work very well and it is unlikely that the administrative mr. biden could influence ms. antibiosi, nevertheless, i do not rule out that there was a certain request, and speaking of the fact that it can to create an additional risk that no one needs so far because there are a lot of parallels in the world now between the situation in ukraine and taiwan and china, because many countries see russia as china in the country of taiwan, and these parallels exist and i also discussed them with american colleagues from let's say, chinese colleagues who work in the united states of america, this is possible because the question is, let's say, against ivanovka, that is, they all say

mr. biden's inauguration. as president trump put it, the vice president, and enough members of congress, simply needed to summon the courage to act, to help them find that courage the president called for backup. early in the morning of december 19th, the president sent out a tweet urging his followers to travel to washington d.c. for january 6th, be there, it will be wild, the president wrote, as my colleague mr. raskin will described in detail, this tweet served as a call to action, and, in some cases, as a call to arms for many of president trump's most loyal supporters. it is clear the in president intended the assembled crowd on january 6th to serve his goal. and, as you have already seen and we'll see against day, some of those who are coming had specific plans. the presidents goal was to stay in power for a second term despite losing the election, the assembled crowd was one of the tools to achieve that goal. in today's hearing we will focus on events that took place in the final weeks leading up to jan

mr. biden rest of the administration have been quiet because congress is independent from the executive. it is up to her to decide what she wants to do but they have been advising her privately and mr. biden said last week that the military didn't k it was a great idea for her to go now so she -- he has come close to saying that it isn't a good idea although he didn't put those words in his mouth. ♪ >> ukraine and theainian counteroffensive is gathering pace. it revolves around the city. it was the first major city to fall to the russians. the u.k. defense ministry says it is virtually cut off from other territories held by the russians. they announced it is lost with russia's attempts to paint it as a success. this is run -- one resident. >> things are getting hot each day ever since the president and the vice prime minister announced curse on -- and here a lot more anti-air missiles -- i came here a lot more antiaircraft missiles -- the shot -- being shot. -- going to the left bank and starti

mr. bidenere to show a tight relationship with the israelis that exists. he is tre on his first presidential visit to highlight that, and iran was a big topic. as we heard biden strongly underscore, america's determination that america would never get a nuclear weapon, the israelis say in order to achieve that you need a threat of force. mr. biden has hope that a nuclear dealith iran could be revived, but those talks are stuck right now. he is discussing with regional partners what to do if it fails. that means israel but also arab states in the gulf, and they are exploring to see if they can work together to counter any potential threat from iran. michelle:michelle: as tough as it is, is this a break from the president from bad economic news at home. we had this disastrous economic data. is this a chance for him to flex his skills? barbara: actually it has created problems for him because he would be visiting saudi arabia, and when he was a candidate, he said he would make saudi arabia a paria

mr. bident bump mohammad bin salman three years after promising to make saudi arabia a pariah after the murder of jamal khashoggi in 2018. at a news conference in jeddah the president told reporters he made it clear to the crown prince how he felt about the murder. >> we discussed human rights, the need for political reform. as i always do, i made it clear that the topic is vitally important to me and the u.s.. with respect to the murder of show be i raised it at the top of the meeting making it clear what i thought about it at the time and what i think about it now. i was straightforward and direct in discussing it. i made my view crystal clear. i said very straightforwardly, for an american president to be silent on an issue of human rights is inconsistent with who we are and who i am. i will always stand up for our values. michelle: our middle east correspondent anna fter is following biden's trip to saudi arabia. earlier the senate foreign relations committee member ed markey told this prog

mr. biden is meeting with mohammad bin salman. he will talk with other leaders from the oil exporting persian gulf on saturday. in the president says the time is in his words, "not ripe," to restart negotiations with palestinians and israel. after meeting with palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas, mr. biden said he would look for ways to reinvigorate the peace process. president abbas urged president biden to take steps toward a two state solution. the house has passed legislation to restore abortion rights nationwide. nancy pelosi says more needs to be done to minimize the consequences of the supreme court's decision last month to overturn roe v. wade. >> we must ensure that the american people remember in november, because they is two more democratic senators who will be able to eliminate a filibuster when it comes to a woman's right to choose and make reproductive freedom the law of the land. mark: the legislation has little chance of becoming law, with the necessary support lacking in the senate in italy prime ministe

so mr. biden visits, and provides a much-needed opportunity to achieve this.he challenge is there, but this administration should balance between opportunities and the challenges. thank you. >> thank you very much. very useful. alright i am going to make comments more based largely on observations from a trip i just completed a couple of days ago to saudi arabia. which follows on previous engagements with the saudi's and americans focus on the u.s. saudi relationship. i was where the president will be. obviously the people in saudi arabia are very polite but as some did out to me they are not flowers. joe biden gave a series of unfortunate statements characterizing his trip. that he is not actually coming to me the -- at he's coming because the israelis asked him. -- asked him to come. [indiscernible] they had their own tough comments about president. such as the atlantic interview in which the conference said he does not really care with the president of the united states has to say. adding that all aside, in my view it is much expectation as it is hoped that

during his run for president, mr. biden slammed the country and salman for the killing of jamal khashoggi, calling the country a pariah. critics including some from his own party were quick to point that out. >> i just don't believe that we should be maintaining a warm relationship with a dictatorship like that. >> president biden is supplying -- flying to the middle east and fist bumping with murderers and despots, asking for more supply. what he could do is open up the keystone pipeline. >> the white house is defending his stop saying with oil prices soaring, stability is needed in the region. >>> coming up, a west virginia man is in custody after his sister woke up from a coma and accused him of attempted murder. >>> and later, rock and roll diplomacy. te rolling stones are joined on stage by a choir from ukraine to perform a classic. >>> this is the "cbs morning news." is is the "cbs morning news." for people who are a little intense about hydration. neutrogena® hydro boost lightweight. fragrance-free. 48 hour hydration

mr. biden says his options are limited. and republicans are standing in the way. >> that's why my plan is not finished and why the results aren't finished either. >> i will talk to commerce secretary gina raimondo. >> plus, the republicans leadership challenge. >> get murkowski out of here because she's not a republican. >> how much influence does former president trump have on the gop? maryland's republican governor rr larry hogan joins me. plus, pat cipollone testifies after cassidy hutchinson's explosive appearance. >> please don't go up to the capitol. we're going to get charged with every crime imaginable if we make that happen. >>> i'll talk to committee member congresswoman stephanie murphy about what cipollone told the committee. >> elon musk wants out of his deal to buy twitter over a dispute about spam accounts. >> he's just reaching out to something to blame. >> we're hear from tara swisher co-host of the box media's pivot podcast. joining me are hallie jackson, daniel la gibba and rich lowry, editor of "national

and mr. bidentremely keen to get the iranians back on board, get the americans back into that deal. but that makes israel and america's other allies in the region extremely nervous. you will hear that word about stability. you heard the adjectives of unity, alliance, ironclad, unbreakable bonds. we will be hearing that a lot over the next 24 hours or so. it will culminate in a centerpiece of a meeting between president biden and the prime minister tomorrow or thursday in what they are calling the jerusalem declaration. both countries will reiterate their commitment that iran should never have nuclear weapons. they completely differ over the methods in doing that. what president biden will do is push ideas and defense cooperation between the israelis and arab gulf countries. the israelis have been warming ties with them. things like missile defense. they looked at something called the iron beasm, a laser -- beam, a laser for shooting down drones and missiles, while he was in israel. i think there wi

anyone that turns up at the border, based on health risks, because they don't want to spread, but mr bidend of that, so that is one of the many reasons why many people are now coming to the border in the hope of getting across. now, he has already got rid of another policy that donald trump brought in which was called remain in mexico, and the supreme court backed mr biden on that which basically meant that if you are applying for asylum, you couldn't come into america until your application had been processed, so it has to go through the us immigration port, so basically people could not come into america. so, that has been abolished. so, we are seeing this influx of people coming across the border. but immigration, as you know, is such a political issue in america, it certainly is one for the republicans, so what you've got is the democrats accusing the republicans of using these people who are trying to get help as political pawns. but the dc mayor who has made this request for national guard troops to come in has also been accused of playing politics as well. now to the celebrity court

before arriving on friday, mr. biden met with palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas in the west bank and confirmed his commitment to an independent palestinian state and two-state solution. but palestinians remain deeply frustrated over a number of issues, not the least of a trump-era decision to close a consulate. the head of the palestinian mission to the uk and former head of the plo general delegation spoke earlier to cnn about that closure. let's have a listen to part of what he said. >> in fact, the lack of opening of such a very important diplomatic mission is also indicative of how serious the administration is about the two-state solution and how much they are willing to spend in political capital as opposed to rhetoric and statements. the consulate general is the key matter. because if you believe in the two states, you need two embassies. if you really brief elieve in t 1967 borders, then there is one missing. >> that does it from me here in saudi arabia. let me head back to cnn headquarters and kim fo

and the integration, as it was said here in israel, of israel in the region, mr. biden, when he comes here, i comes to reason that has changed since he last visited. he has a vice president under barack obama in there, 2016. and now we are having countries that have signed piece agreements with israel since 2020 still under that. then trump administration named me, that's united arab emirates for vain and also morocco. so from an israeli point of view, they are hoping, as we heard, and the report that the visit can push for some kind of defense alliance to combat threats alike. yvonne that's also likely here being a discuss, but even more so there has been a lot of expectations here leading up to the visits in the media. that there would be some kind of, you know, science or some indication that there will be a, an approach him and i, facilitated by a president biden and do approach mend between saudi arabia and israel. he himself said, in an opinion artic, on the washington post at no, by flying that directly. that's a 1st for a u. s. president. that is a small step to show the warmi

but some say mr biden abandoned his principles by coming here.ingdom's the factorial were one—to—one. the kingdom's de facto ruler, one—to—one. the cia concluded that the crimp and is approved the brutal murder of jamal khashoggi in istanbul, though he's always denied it. afterwards, the president vowed to make saudi arabia a pariah. today, the saudi minister of state forforeign affairs told me that was simply election talk. what happens in campaigns is what i call what happens during the silly season. but disagreement with the regime, descent, is still frowned upon and ultimately punished, so when will that change? i think we can have a discussion about this and an argument about this because what you call a dissident, we call a terrorist. what you may call somebody expressing their opinion, it is incitement. when somebody gives money to a group that murders people, is that expressing their opinion? or is it funding murder? but they are presented outside saudi arabia as if they are activists. many believe the president came here to negotiate for
