first of all, why has joe biden changed his mind to meet with the crown prince or president biden himself said that at this street to the middle east is mainly about promoting us interests, especially in economic terms, but also security. so what we're seeing here is a huge you turn in biden's foreign policy and it's a real re calibration of his relationship to saudi arabia. so as we saw this morning during the gcc summit, what biden is trying to do here is to reset of the relationship to saudi arabia until the middle east. he wants to see if the u. s. and saudi arabia can work together in a different issues, like for example, energy, but also climate infrastructure and for security, of course, the question remains, how do date start over? especially after bitin one said that, sorry, your ebay has a pariah state. and where did he go from here? now, of course are working together is always a good thing, but it is quite a change of hearts. what exactly does the u. s. president want from this visit? well, if we follow his announcement before, he is started this trip of wanting to promote you

biden. so much hyped meeting with saudi crown. prince. mom had been summoned capes off with a fist bump, but the u. s. presidents has likely not achieved the main goal of his middle east trip and nuts to get more saudi oil to east palm paint for american voters. saudi arabia is in no rush to open his tops for the us, and oil prices actually rose by 2 percent this friday. that's as high petro prices and soaring, inflation offered the hurting the presidents ratings back home. however, after the meeting with the saudi crown, prince biden has said, the trip won't immediately impact gas prices in the us. you the impact of this visit. i suspect you won't see that for another a cowboys. america needs a saudi oil. this is in light of the ukraine, russia conference, not only do they want oil from saudi arabia, but at the same time they want to buy that oil at a cheaper price. now on his arrival, joe biden's welcome was install contrast to the welcome of the previous american president, donald trump, when he visited saudi back in 2017. if i hadn't

however, after the meeting with the saudi crown, prince biden has said that the trip wont immediately impact gas prices in the us. she the impact of this visit. i suspect you won't see that for another. a couple of america needs a saudi oil. this is in light of the ukraine, russia conference, not only do they want oil from saudi arabia, but at the same time they want to buy that oil at a cheaper price. now on his arrival, joe biden's, welcome was his foul contrast to the welcome of the previous american president, donald trump, when he visited saudi back in 2017. what if i hadn't got was a 1st pump from the crown prince before being ushered into a room for meeting with the saudi king salmon at a press conference afterwards. biden said that the 2 had disgust saudi defensive needs and wants to the normalization of ties. with his role, a journalist asked the american president whether or not saudi was still a pariah state to which the president chose not to answer, but there was a lot of laughter from the saudis prison. this of course, refers back to commented, died, and made when he was

biden criticized for that. he also said that he confronted the crown prince over the killing of jamal khashoggi. reaction been on the saudi side? nick: it is really important question because it reveals both sides's motivations. president biden claimed he confronted mbs, the crown prince, over jamal khashoggi, but i spoke with the deputy foreign minister and he said that mbs responded by basically describing his own version of human rights. he told the president, "you can't impose one set of values on another country. the u.s. tried to do this in afghanistan and iraq and it backfired. he brought up another journalist recently killed in the occupied west bank, an american palestinian, and mbs asked what is the u.s. going to do about that? that is according to that minister. both sides benefit from spinning. the u.s. president claims he confronted the man that intelligence say ordered the murder of jamal khashoggi, and saudi's, presenting mbs as holding his own but trying to reset relations. when i spoke with the minister, he did not describe it as they were confronting each other, described that

s. president joe biden has raised the issue of the murder of journalist, sham alpha shall cheat with saudi arabia's crime. prince, mom had been selma biden, isn't saudi arabia trying to mend relations after tensions over the kingdoms, human rights record fight and said he also discussed human rights and the need for political reforms during the talks. all right, you're up to date here on the doping. talk film as of next, examining the internet of everything. and don't forget, he can stay up to date on all the latest news using our website database dot com on uva kind of course follows on our social media accounts on pablo foliage for me on the team here in berlin. take care and we'll see again at the top of the next ah his school is establishing an order and she june ping, president of the global power china. any criticism of his regime, isn't it in the bud.

how could so kimberly a fist bumped between joe biden. crown prince, mom had been so man, why was this? so symbolic? it was symbolic because as you pointed out, many people heavily have criticized joe biden, for even making this trip at all. given that campaign pledge that he was going to essentially, ostracize the saudi kingdom if he became president. so for him to suddenly now make a trip really seems like a back track on that promise. the fact of the matter is, is that it now appears that his moral authority has been eroded, that american human rights values can be negotiable. the reality is, is that when the ca put out that report back in 2018, it suggested that the saudi crown prince may have ordered the killing of the washington post journalist chalka shoji. and this is something that joe biden said very clearly. he believed that he would potentially bring up with the crown prince, that he would be very strong in terms of defending human rights in his meetings, which we should point out are taking place right now. we're not going to get to see that. we don't know if that's actual

there were talks example of that fist bump that took between the crown prince and mr biden. e president to mention that we have 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?

president biden has returned from his trip to the middle east where he met with saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman on friday. the two men greeted each other with a friendly fist bump. the meeting comes three years after biden vowed as a presidential candidate to make saudi arabia a pariah for the state-sponsored killing of "the washington post" columnist jamal khashoggi in istanbul. the publisher of "the washington post," fred ryan, criticized biden saying -- "the fist bump between president biden and mohammed bin salman was worse than a handshake -- it was shameful. it projected a level of intimacy and comfort that delivers to mbs the unwarranted redemption he has been desperately seeking." during a news conference after their meeting, biden said he confronted bin salman over khashoggi's murder. pres. biden: i raised at the top of the many what i thought at the time and what i think of it now, and knows exactly how straightforward and direct under discussing i i made my view crystal clear. amy: a top saudi official later appeared to contradict biden saying that he never heard the presi

president biden just spoke from saudi arabia moments ago after meeting with leaders, including crown prince mohammed bin salman, or mbs, the man that the u.s. says ordered the murder of "washington post" columnist jamal khashoggi. president biden says he brought up khashoggi's murder and human rights issues with mbs at the top of the meeting. >> 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. >> still, the saudis are rejoicing at the meeting, and president biden's presence there at all, despite his campaign pledge to make saudi arabia a, quote, pariah, over khashoggi's murder. president biden in fact greeted mbs, the country's de facto ruler, with a fist bump earlier today. neither leader answering questions from the press at the very start of their meeting. >> jamal khashoggi, will you apologize to his family, sir? >> thank you, guys. >> a reminder, according to president biden's own director of national intelligence, quote, we assess that saudi arabia's crown princ

prince. >> that was then president presidential candidate joe biden, blaming the crown prince for the assassinationkhashoggi. just a few weeks after taking office, biden ordered the declassification of a u.s. government assessment, naming mbs as he is commonly called responsible for khashoggi's death. we assess that saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin salman approved an operation in istanbul, turkey to capture or kill the journalist jamal khashoggi. that is why it is so shocking to see this today. the president of the united states fist pumping an individual the u.s. government has labeled a murder. here is how this murder landed back here at home, from the washington post publisher who wrote in part, quote, the fist pumping tween president biden and mohammed bin salman was worse than a handshake, it was shameful. it projected a level of intimacy and comfort that delivers the mbs the unwarranted redemption he has been desperately seeking. and a sort of impromptu damage control conference from saudi arabia, biden told reporters today that he rebuked mbs face to face. >> in respect to the murder
