bangkok mr robertson what do you make of what is happening in myanmar. well frankly this is our worst fear this is a real nightmare i mean what we've seen is a election that with one in a landslide biomes on sochi in the national league for democracy essentially torn up over electoral fraud allegations that have not been proved in some ways are somewhat trumpy and in the sense that they're making all these allegations are claiming that you know a huge number of irregularities took place but then they provide no information or evidence of that it's a real disaster for human rights and democracy in myanmar what impact do you think this is going to have on people's lives in myanmar well people who are very strongly opposed to the return to military rule all along i mean one of the reasons that aung san suu kyi and the n.o.b. have done so well in these elections is they are seen as a democratic bold war to return to the battle days of military dictatorship which myanmar suffered from for over 50 years so i think that there's going to be a lot of opposition f

. >> let's bring in nic robertson. you, nic, have reported extensively on the u.s.nship. how does this potentially change the political calculus for the biden administration here? >> reporter: the more damning the evidence that comes into the public domain that links mohamed bin salman more deeply perhaps or puts flesh on the bones of the cia's analysis that in all probability he ordered the killing, that sort of working assumption, more evidence it is to back that up. the harder it is to have a relationship with the kingdom. quite simply, the king is getting old. quite possibly during president biden's leadership the crown prince will become king, that's the expectation. the concerns in saudi arabia are and their belief is the report won't have a smoking gun. won't link directly the crown prince to the killing of khashoggi but they do suspect and fear that there could be leaks from those that want the united states to put in place some sort of sanctions that will curtail weapons sales. what's the political cost? saudi arabia is the most powerful and significant all

nic robertson is live. what should america's allies and adversaries expect today? i think the headline is not to expect too much detail. of course, they're readily waiting for that detail. president biden said he wants to work with these allies in london, berlin, or seoul or tokyo or cambaran or canada. these are all allies looking forward to a new relationship with the united states and working with president biden, but the united states has a number of key international issues on review. the relationship with china where that was left. the taliban, the deal with the pally ban. the peace deal. the effects of russia over the past several years. all of these issues these capitols want to say what's president biden going to say on these issues? are these reviews concluded? can we see a direction of travel here other than, you know, we'd like to work together. if you're in one of these capitols, however, that isn't at the working end of these reviews like saudi arabia, what's happening? what was the deal that we'd have to know. if you're in one of those capitols, you'
