arabia yemen yemeny fighters are currently in in stationed in three southern saudi provinces so saudi arabia they know very well that if they don't act accordingly and if they don't tread the line carefully then they will be uh ballistic missiles and attacks will be raining on their skies from the yemeni front and and that's the strategic position that yemen holds also yemen is very close to the the the uh port of djibooti and djibooti as you know it's a nation that stations a a military base for every western nation you have front. bases in jibuuti, you have british bases, military bases, you have us military bases in jibuuti, and those are military bases that israel would be depending on if a regional war was to unfold, and these military bases, as unsar allah have mentioned, they will come under attack and these military bases will suffer heavy damage ifbooti allows its nation to be used by any western nation by these military bases to conduct attack. on yemen or the axis of resistance, so it does look like we're heading to towards a regional war. i think most of the uh countries i

the ministry of mackenzie says siri for like, mackenzie work in saudi arabia where at least like that, that kind of justification that will be given. it's something like a will be able to realizing force will help them like open up. um and you know, help empower women and modernize the economy and, and do all these things. but there is evidence that their work goes further in 2016 . the can be prepared to report for the saudi government to investigate the popularity of their policies. it included a power point, slide identifying 3 people who had been critical of the regime. one of those people was arrested and other people, a person of the account disappeared and another person and his brothers were arrested. so there's, you know, bad things happened after mackenzie made this slide deck. mckenzie defended itself by stating the slide was prepared for internal use only. and this is not the only time they've come under fire. if you have like saturday, be as a quiet you have to like, be deferential to saudi arabia, to some extent, to continue, continue working there in 2018, saudi america

arabia in saudi arabia. that is a huge real estate deal, that is the saudi government doling out a huge financial favor to trump while he is in the middle of his presidential campaign. they are expecting presumably that if he does get back into the white house, that huge oe personal financial favor they just did him will still be fresh in his mind when it comes to making american policy, americans government policy toward saudi arabia.di the saudi royal family, you will recall, also stuffed $2 billion, billion with a "b", $2 billion into the pockets of trump's son-in-law, jared kushner, as soon as he left the white house. "the new york times" recently reporting that the saudis have seen precisely zero return on that supposed investment in jared kushner. he's just kept all the money and skimmed out over $100 million in fees for himself while returning nothing to them, at least so far. but presumably, that's because they're not expecting to be paid back by him. they're expecting to be paid back by the white ho

one of mackenzie's and pc g 's largest clients, saudi arabia, in 2023. the kingdom spent nearly 2000000000 euros and consulting services compared to the rest of the world. the tasks, mackenzie and co take on in the kingdom reach much deeper into governing territory, including advising the kingdom, sovereign wealth fund, worth more than $900000000000.00, and helping to construct a mega city in the desert. saudi arabia's ministry of economy and planning has even been dropped. the ministry of mackenzie says siri for like, mackenzie work in saudi arabia where at least like that, that kind of justification that will be given as something like we'll be able to provide some force will help them like open up and you know, help empower women and modernize the economy and, and do all these things. but there is evidence that their work goes further in 2016 . it can be prepared to report for the saudi government to investigate the popularity of their policies. it included a power point slide, identifying 3 people had been critical of the regime. one of those people

saudi arabia, as is the case now. there was a sectarian division and the newspaper was presenting new content different from what was wide spread in other media outlets back then after the withdrawal of the syrian army from lebanon in 2005, the lebanese media witnessed new experience and we experienced a high level of freedom. consequently, the newspaper presented something different, so i was proud that my first report was published in such newspaper, and that's why i still remember its impact. on me before the others, well lebanon was once known as the switzerland of the middle east, it's the land of unexpected beauty and pleasant weather, very beautiful place and one day i like to go and visit that place inshallah, i wish you won't change your mind when you go there, but then as we know it was afflicted with war, the israeli occupation south lebanon and then we had the the economic crisis of the country, speaking speaking about the recent economic crisis in lebanon do you think uh the causes of this economic crisis

over 100 womens' footballers speak out against fifa's saudi sponsorship deal. the champions league returns this week and real madrid boss carlo ancelotti demands more goals from summer signing kylian mbappe. and we hearfrom england's star spinner, jack leach, ahead of their series decider with pakistan after he feared his international career was over. hello there and welcome along to the programme. more than 100 elite women footballers have called fifa's sponsorship deal with a saudi oil company a punch in the stomach. they've written an open letter to the sport's world governing body — asking them to end their agreement with saudi aramco. the country is hoping to host a future women's world cup, along with the 2034 men's tournament. but the players want fifa to reconsider the deal on humanitarian and environmental grounds. 0ur sports correspondent katie gornall told my colleague hugh ferris who they are, and why they've decided to take this very public step. 106 players signed a letter from major leagues across europe and north america as well. they got more

saudi arabia hesitated.e cia finds. earlier from the frosts, which begin to methodically attack tankers in the strait of armus, carrying saudi oil. director of the agency william casey says that this is only the beginning, and the final goal of the ussr is to overthrow the saudis. the king of saudi arabia finally makes his choice. he agrees, together with the united states, to strike at the soviets. in august 1985, eriad sharply increases oil production from 2 million per day to 6 million, and then to nine. oil prices collapse from $ 27 per barrel to 13. the us and european countries as the main oil consumers are in the black, but the surplus of cheap oil on the market is hitting opec countries hard, cutting their annual income in half. ironically , saudi arabia itself is falling into the american trap, plunging into a protracted socio-economic crisis. well , there is such an opinion, alexey alexeyevich, you see. maybe this is just a real attempt, i keep remembering, i have already said this phrase 50 times

the saudi economy is one of the fastest growing economies in the world.n 2022. >> -- ♪ >> if we get a suite, either the democrats and republicans, the bond market will conclude that nothing will stop either party from spending a lot, may be cutting taxes a lot for some folks, not for others, all in all, continuing to widen the deficit and the debt. interest rates continue to accumulate and we will probably hit $1 trillion. tom: wall street veteran and on expectations of that deficit in the u.s. continues to expand. here's a look at the interest payments right now for the u.s. government on that debt pile. approaching 900 billion u.s. dollars. you are not fall off from -- far off from a trillion dollars. just interest rate payments. to be clear, whoever's in the white house come january 2025, whether harris or trump, the expectation is that expansion will continue in terms of the debt load with a view that trump's expansionary policy, the policies he has outlined and talked about, we'll push up the debt load even more. the both candidates you see a tick up

the can be prepared to report for the saudi government to investigate the popularity of their policies. it included a power point, slide identifying 3 people who had been critical of the regime. one of those people was arrested and other people, a person of the account disappeared and another person and his brothers were arrested. so there's, you know, bad things happened after mackenzie made this slide deck. mckenzie defended itself by stating the slide was prepared for internal use only. and this is not the only time they've come under fire. if you have like saturday b as a quiet, you have to like, be deferential to saudi arabia to some extent, to continue, continue working there in 2018, saudi american journalist stomach shogi, was assassinated by agents of the saw the government, the killing put a strain on traditionally strong us ties with a kingdom. in the aftermath, many us firms boycotted an investment summit in the country, but mckenzie and b. c. g, stayed on, and even lead paneled discussions at the event. according to the new york times, both firms have stated they decline w

the there's literally no problem, iran has never threatened saudi arabia, iran has never threatened any of the muslim countries or any of the arab countries or any of the neighbors that it's around, however when israel is there and is instigating divisions, the old mantra of divide and conquer that the british used to use very successfully to divide people of the world, if israel is not there, if israel disappears and the people the jews and the christians and muslims are living together, iran has no emnity with that part of the world, there's other country. that has emnity with, yes, it has disagreements with other countries, but not to the extent where they need to be milked like a cow for hundreds of billions of dollars buying american military equipment that we saw yesterday didn't even work properly, how many missiles did we see go through all the levels of defense that saudi for example doesn't have, israel has three or four levels of defense, saudi may have one or two patriots, that's it, and so this idea of selling weapons to these uh persian gulf countries to cause division and

saudi arabia and also the crown prince of saudi arabia binsalman had a meeting at night they arrived in qatar in the past and today they are going to meet and talk with the qatari officials . let's say hello to qatar, dear colleague, mr. shahsuni , as well as respected viewers, as you mentioned . well, on wednesday evening, the minister of foreign affairs of our country will enter qatar in the continuation of his regional trips , and he is supposed to meet with high-ranking qatari officials here. media conversation with qatari media is set for mr. araghchi, still events in qatar. it has not been reported because now it is almost 7:00 a.m., but i want to mention the consultations that took place in riyadh yesterday, and i was watching the media, and there was a wide coverage in both the international media and the regional media. have had the talk was about the image frame that was actually created in the meeting of mr. araghchi with mr. bensalman, the crown prince of saudi arabia, and the talk of a regional convergence and finding a solution for the region in the region and not outsi

iran has never threatened saudi arabia, iran has never threatened any of the muslim countries or any of the arab countries or any of the neighbors that it's around. however, when israel is there and it's instigating divisions, you the old mantra of divide and conquer that the british used to use very successfully to divide people of the world. 'if israel is not there, if israel disappears and the people, the jews and the christians and muslims are living together, iran has no emnity with that part of the world, there's other country that it has imnity with, yes it has disagreements with other countries, but not to the extent where they need to be milked like a cow for hundreds of billions of dollars buying american military equipment that we saw yesterday didn't even work properly, how many missiles did we see go through all the levels of defense that saudi for example doesn't have, israel'. has three or four levels of defense, saudi may have one or two patriots, that's it, and so this idea of selling weapons to these uh persian gulf countries to cause division and then continue cont

defense pact with the saudis. do you think that's the message voters want to hear, that now is the time to further commit american lives and treasure in the middle east? sec. blinken: so, john, i think you're referring to the so called generals plan. am i correct? these are retired generals who propose -- reporter: but also in gaza, settlers were meeting and ministers of netanyahu's own government were saying let's resettle gaza. sec. blinken: well, i can be very clear on that because i've been clear on that for the last year, we fully reject it. we reject any israeli reoccupation of gaza. i said so in tokyo a year ago. it's been u.s. policy, it will remain u.s. policy. and it's also to the best of my understanding the policy of the israeli government. that's what i heard from the prime minister, who is the authoritative word on these things. so whatever they say, whether it's retired generals or some members of the government, that is not the policy of the government, and it is certainly not the policy of the uni

it's it's in the interests of the saudis to make peace, to uh to create harmony, to stop playing these sectarian games of wahabism, takfirism and shiopphobia and the sufis and the sunnis, this is something that they've been very, very much at the heart of doing, creating conflict, division of religious sectarian basis, they need to stop that, they need to repair their relations fully with the islamic republic of iran, create a fraternal regional alliance which brings west asia together to and and they need to expell the americans, they need to force america to shift off, and they can easily replace that with chinese, russian, iranian and other. support which could easily fix uh fill the vacuum of any economic development, any infrastructure development, they could rebuild their economy in in all sorts of ways, they don't need to serve at the alter of the american zionist if you like genocidals, so i'd say this is the first thing that perhaps this kind of exchange may help to uh let these regional puppets start thinking uh about their real sovereignty and to start becoming real uh free

it could hit saudi facilities if and when it chose.s but i went to the site and all the holes in the petrochemical facilities, they're all facing north. and that was a bit of a wake—up call, notjust to saudi arabia but to the gulf states, as to just how vulnerable they are to a missile and drone attack from iran. and they realise they have got to live with their big neighbour. they may not agree with it idealogically. they don't like the actions of the iranian revolutionary guards corps, but they have to deal with it and they need peace in the region, not escalation. thank you to frank, speaking to me a little earlier. thank you to frank, speaking to me a little earlier. with me is parham ghobadi from bbc persian. we are going to talk a little bit about what we have had been hearing from authorities but festival details on the soldiers that were killed. the iranian army _ soldiers that were killed. tue: iranian army issued soldiers that were killed. tte: iranian army issued a soldiers that were killed. tt2 iranian army issued a stateme

earlier, arakchi also met with his saudi counterpart faisal benfaran. there he said the cessation of israeli crimes in lebanon and gaza is the only path to prevent escalation of tensions and a wider regional conflict. the top iranian diplomat then called for an all out cooperation among countries in the region to achieve that goal. for his part, the saudi foreign minister emphasized the importance of securing regional stability and express this country's readiness for further cooperation in that direction. academic research and writer rezer john vedadi joined us earlier to give him mistake on iran's foreign ministers visit to riyadh and the impact it can make to end the regional tensions that saudi arabia has influence on many countries that surround palestine, so if you remember that they have strong relations with egypt and influence in egypt, jordan, bahrain, uae, and these are countries that have some influence or some of them, and so if they come on board... and unite with the idea of providing support for palestine, it would make the, it would pro

again, we will ask saudis to put on barrels. the saudis have been responsive to those requests. all these countries in the region are also going to have to weigh how much they want to get caught this the cross hairs of this conflict, because again, in 2019, these countries themselves were targeted by iran. >> yeah. thanks to both of you. as we watch the price of oil jumping. a conflict that may -- expected maybe wouldn't reach the point it has now reached. we are hearing the israeli military saying citizens are permitted to leave protected areas. for now, we go to contessa with an update. >> reporter: i think the way you can interpret that at this point is the israeli military is giving the people of israel an all-clear, that they are able to leave their bomb shelters where they were taking place as these ballistic missiles were incoming across the skies of israel. you were watching this earlier unfolding in tel aviv. israeli army radio said about 200 missiles came in and then a military spokesperson says, and characterized the attack as serious, and said it will have consequenc

and i think this is a, another sign to say that this is, you know, i, saudis are saudi gesture to say that this is there. we are not participating in maybe a facilitation against the around and more over i think it speaks to a broader issue, which is the fact of how can this out of uranium relation is develop? i think, you know, there's been a lot of skeptics and some of them for good reason. i think the relationship between surgery being around still requires a lot of work. but the intention is undeniable. the intention to solve this issue, this undeniable being the political will to develop relations and change it from a relationship that's been very exhausted and has been very dependent on external factors dependent on other capitals and their influence kind of on the region there are transitioning from that kind of dynamic into a more intrinsic dynamic where i think so if you're a being around or trying to really find a space of cooperation. and i think this is just yet and illustration of where to. ready find a space administration and just one last point and i think it's that th

why go to saudi arabia? what could the saudis do?y important if you zoom out initially the act 7th attack and support for proxies around the region was happening right as there was going to be further normalization with the saudis and the israelis this is part of the geopolitical context that the saudis were moving forward having greater relations with the israelis. get back to that secretary blinken figure out what the saudis would tolerate response against iran. how the saudis are feeling about the current and trying to get a better understanding. unfortunately, brian, the saudis have low trust that whatever they say will stay between them. american election so close in the next couple of weeks and the trump team has has been much more supportive of the israelis and the israelis' ability to take out the iranian nuclear program. the saudis might be looking at that and say look it might be a better deal for us to wait and see how this election goes. >> brian: exactly. remember the saudis were trying to tell us how bad the suite rebel

and the relationship between saudi arabia and israel hasn't really been changed by all the fighting,do you think it has? i think it's been changed a little. in the lead—up to october the 7th, there was a sense that saudi arabia and the abraham accords and all of that movement was essentially just forgetting about the palestinians. palestinians don't really matter that much any more. our interests are what matters. i think that has changed a little. i think that saudi arabia's interest now is to show that there will be a big price, that it will... that israel will have to pay, and that price will have to be a serious knock. you know, nothing is looking like it's going to go there, but a serious sense of momentum towards a state for the palestinians. now, that could end upjust being words. but i think you will see, you know, a much stronger drive towards that. and also, the saudis and the gulf, you know, their money is going to be needed to rebuild gaza — their money in lebanon, etc — and will say, look, we're not going to do this unless we have these guarantees. what saudi arabia does

so the trump relationship with saudi arabia is well oiled. if you wanted to create a kindergarten level textbook, one of those books where the pages are cards or card stock, if you wanted to create that to explain to a kindergartner what corruption is, this is how you may spell it out. imagine your friend is running for president and somebody gives your friend a huge sweet business deal while running for president in that same someone gives your friends family billions of dollars while running for president. and the c is for corruption in your friend is corrupt. and then if it were like a good children's book they would say, don't worry this could never happen in the united states of america. we would have to update that textbook. but anyway, today the saudi state controlled media, al arabiya, posted a new interview with donald trump and this new interview with donald trump, just published today got zero pickup in the united states which is kind of amazing and a presidential candidate interview got zero pickup two weeks before election day. b

kingdom, saudi arabia.her than the basic law of the state. the birthplace of the prophet muhammad and islam. here are two sacred cities for any muslim, mecca and medina sacred, including for russian muslims. for example, in kazan, inside the kulsharif mosque, there is a mosaic panel depicting al-haram, the main mosque of mecca, and the kaaba, a muslim shrine. every year during the hajj, the kaaba is covered with a kiswah , a huge precious cloak made of natural shola. "the king of saudi arabia , after completing the hajj, as a sign of special favor, gives some pilgrims, who are called hajjah, that is, those who have completed the hajj, fragments of the kiswah. in 2008, the saudi monarch handed over a fragment of the kiswah with good wishes . kaaba cloaks from mecca to russian believers. now it is reverently kept in the kul sharif mosque in tatarstan. nahar'. you can now go to saudi arabia only with a so- called pilgrim visa. in russia, for example, there is a special hajj mission that helps organize the trip

it is possible, i will tell you more that it is saudi arabia - those people, as you correctly described their own plane when they want, yes there, or are in u... when they want on their own island and so on and so on so on. in fact, today saudi arabia determines, so the circumstances in the oil markets have developed, that saudi arabia determines the price level. for a very long time, it kept pace with russia, which told saudi arabia, guys, you and i will not extract very much, we do not strain there at all, we extract at a minimum, but the price on the market will be high, we will make money... we should, and after several years of such a situation, the saudis learned that russia almost constantly deceived them and extracted more than they promised to extract as part of this agreement in fact, and constantly pumped additional oil there in the shadow regime in various ways into the markets, and now, it seems, the time has come to react to this, for them the most profitable reaction is really increase production, it is very easy for them to do it, there is a comfortable situation there,

knowing the is the delegations from the saudi navy, because we are present in the red sea, have requested to hold a joint drill with us there. and they invited us and we invited their fleet to pay a visit to our ports. their delegations must come, and our delegations need to be dispatched, and the exercises need to be documented, specifying what will be done, where, how and which vessels should participate. this all will be coordinated. let's delve into the ramifications of this with r. t corresponded yusef jelly use of good to see you. just the point died relations had been you know, nice for years between these 2 countries before china brokered talks last year and we have margaret time cooperation. how significant is this exactly. you and it's unbelievable to former articles are now teaming up for a joint snable drilled in the red sea. and where's batch region it's we're human has been targeting is where the link chips in at the gaza, or we're still waiting to hear more from us all the river. yeah. about this announcement, but it's a huge step towards the rop rosemont between re all add

king of saudi arabia in this meeting. mr. mezikian emphasized the determination of saudi arabia to develop relations with the islamic republic of iran. the spokesman of the yemeni armed forces announced the attack by drones on the military positions of the zionist regime in the jaffa region of occupied palestine and said that the drones hit the intended target without being intercepted. with the infantry unit of the armed forces yemen carried out a military operation in the jaffa and tel aviv region in occupied palestine. this operation was carried out with several jaffa drones. in this operation , the drones hit the intended targets and the zionist regime could not intercept them. this operation is part of the fifth stage of the operation. will continue to support the fighters in the axis of resistance. the zionist regime has started bombing the villages of southern lebanon an hour ago. in this regard, we will accompany my colleague mr. hosseini. mr. hosseini to you. i would like to inform you about the latest situation

saudis and these arab monarks and despots, i'm afraid are userper powers.

of the crown prince of saudi arabia to mr. medicine. he emphasized saudi arabia's determination to develop relations with the islamic republic of iran . the body of martyr pilot mohammad khakizadeh, one of the martyrs of nojeh base, which was identified after 44 years , was buried today after construction in hamadan martyrs cemetery. shahid khakizadeh was one of the air force officers who was captured by the anti-revolutionary forces before the start of the imposed war on august 14, 1359 and was imprisoned in one of the border regions of kurdistan. after these 44 years, now that the follow-ups of his investigation committee have been found, we have a feeling of peace. his interest and commitment to his land and water was extremely sensitive to his country and that is the reason. the 7th joint cooperation meeting between west azerbaijan and the bordering provinces of turkey started in urmia for two days. in this meeting, the solutions for the development of economic exchanges along the more than 560 km border between iran and t

saudi arabia. maybe the emirates. maybe qatar. we don't know. >> is that because the region doesn't want there to be instability? the region wants normalization with israel. the region wants things to cool down. >> absolutely. qatar, for example, they need to cohabitate somehow. take the chinese. we haven't spoken about china. the chinese, 60% of china's exports to europe go through the suez canal via the red sea. when, it raises products if we live in amsterdam or rome. >> by the way, the price of oil is up because of this. >> well, obviously. because of the uncertainty and unpredictability. no one knows and this is where we started. no one knows about the escalation. you asked me what do i fear most. what i fear most is the miscalculation that is almost inevitably connected to these kind of scenarios when escalation cannot be controlled. that the iranian retaliated. we don't know by the way how far this is going to go because there's a point to be made that iran sees hezbollah now as an increasingly burden rather than an asset,

saudi foreign minister faisal bin farhan , while conveying the greetings of the saudi crown prince to mr. al-bizjian, also emphasized saudi arabia's determination to develop relations with the islamic republic of iran. the heavy blow of the security and intelligence agencies to the jaish and zalam terrorist network in sistan baluchistan province following the terrorist actions of the jaish and zalam terrorist group in sistan baluchistan province, which led to the martyrdom of several sunni baloch citizens and a number of defenders of the security and intelligence agencies of this province. with the cooperation of faraja officers, they were able to kill 3 members of the terrorist group also, a large number of weapons and ammunition were seized from the terrorists' headquarters. the holy bodies of martyrs abolfazl jahani and hossein ali kikha, one of the martyrs of terrorist crimes, were exhumed and buried. martyrs abolfazl jahani and hossein ali kikha were border guards of the jackie gore border regiment who were martyred on saturday 10th of mehr while traveling in zahedan axis to khas

and i think this is a, another sign to say that this is, you know, a saudi, sorry, saudi gesture to say that this is there. we are not participating in any facilitation against iraq. the relationship between surgery being around still requires a lot of work. but the tension is undeniable. the intention to solve this issue is undeniable to you know, there's going to be more communications is going to be more meetings speaking to a regional dynamic that's that's very, that's interesting to watch. ready cuz i think the region is, is trying to take matters into its own hands, trying to take. ready approximately an agents okay, just wanna fit in this a life story from the political and financial world to us. tech joined intel has evaded a massive european commission. fine after the use highest court reversed a $1000000000.00 plus dollar a penalty. the case which centers on allegations that entail used rebates to shut all the bits market rivals was filed 15 years ago. the company is still facing another $400000000.00 fine for reportedly abusing its dominant trade position in europe and watch

there is no saudi arabian or opec price target. there is no official opec or saudi price target.hat up. there's been a lot of talk about defending higher prices, but i think this is a clear sign that some in the group maybe are not happy with their quotas, that they are sort of being allowed, i'm using air quotes, to pump out. so says my fax, anyway. >> got it, all right. keep us abreast of all things, including whatever faxes you're getting over there, brian. thank you. brian sullivan, still living in 1992, but he looks good. >>> let's turn to tesla, shares falling after the ev maker missed delivery estimates, down almost 6%. phil, when you reported these, we thought they were in line. any idea why the market is reacting this way? >> well, there's a couple of things. first of all, $462, $463 was the consensus out there. they came in at $462, 890. they're shy of the estimate. that's not enough to drive the stock down. there is the numbers. 95%, as is usually the case every quarter, model 3 and model y, production coming in at just under 470,000 vehicles for the quarter. this brin

and i think this is another sign to say that this is, you know, i, saudis are saudi gesture to say that this is there. we are not participating in maybe the solicitation against the rob, the relationship between surgery being around still requires a lot of work, but the tension is undeniable. the intention to solve this issue is undeniable. the, you know, there's going to be more communication is going to be more meetings speaking to a regional dynamics that's, that's very, that's interesting to watch because i think the region is, is trying to take matters into its own hands, trying to take responsibility and agents a premeditated war crime, that's how the lebanese information administer has labeled. the latest is really strike. 3 journalists were killed and several others injured in the overnight attack in the countries itself. the journalists who survived the missile assault captured the destruction on camera missiles and struck a hotel housing of local and international reporters who were covering the ongoing conflict between has blind israel. the idea of also targeted the lebanese

from a saudi perspective, i think that that will definitely help us.e're going through significant re reform that requires a lot of funding. the cheaper the funding, the better for us. >> you and i spoke before about the kingdom growing diversification efforts. at the same time as well, we are looking at the fiscal break even. what does it mean for the budget? how important is fiscal discipline in this environment? >> this is actually a very good question and i think it just summarizes the vision of 2030 is about. vision 2030 is decoupling the economy from the situation of oil. we came a long way over the last seven years, a long way when we started. today, our net oil gdp is 52% of total gdp. that is significant dive diversi diversification. our oil revenue has grown significantly. it is 37% of our expenditure. that is significant diversification. that gives you a lot of comfort to maneuver and be stable despite the situation in oil price. our aim is to make sure our plans are stable and predictable despite the fluctuation and accommodative price. tha

could hit saudi arabia that it could hit saudi facilities if and when it shows.ke—up call notjust to saudi arabia but to the gulf states is to just how vulnerable they were to a missile and drone attack from iran. and they realise they have got to live with their big neighbour. they may not agree with it idea logically. they don�*t like the actions of the iranian revolution in guard corps but they have to deal with it and they have to deal with it and they need peace in the region and not escalation.— and not escalation. frank, thank you _ and not escalation. frank, thank you so _ and not escalation. frank, thank you so much - and not escalation. frank, thank you so much for- and not escalation. frank, l thank you so much for that. just bring you up—to—date with continuing coverage. israel has launched strikes on iran. blasts have been heard in tehran. the military is saying it was targeting israeli military sites and all its planes have now returned to israel. this is bbc news. hello. we�*ll all see some sunshine at times this weekend. best of which overall will

so probably be it from saudi arabia. you a run countries all in deep consultation over the terrible, terrible things going on named gaza and, and lebanon in yemen. and the rock. when is rest, you're going to stop by ating israel. while uh, as, as you know, i'm sure it has all those tried to keep a balance between the israelis and palestinians, or between his earliest and in yards when uh the war. and god was taught to typing co, russia tilted in favor of the arabs, but to israel is still important if you look at the fall, many people with their awesome passports sleeve and e 0. it's so very large. the iceberg. also, you know, you predict either a late so i know very so you develop countries that has lot uh, imposed sanctions on moscow. so, you know, way it's a window to the west can rule, didn't food, didn't tell the russians to get out, didn't put intel all the restrooms years to get out as well. i think that the books is, you know, manual, these people have do like the entity. so for them, it's not easy to make a choic
