that's why i'm not going to saudi arabia. we contacted our partners in saudi arabia and agreed that i'll be there on an official visit, march 10th. there was a sense of them is that much in his voice when he said that he will expect to meet with the us delegation in care of suggesting that he will not go out of his way to a great deal discussed with turkish president or the one we understand that the 2 discussed a number of items on the agenda, of course, 1st and foremost of the mediation role that church has been undertaking. this is a significant point that we'll get into in a little bit, but also the reaffirming of ukraine's territory integrity, certain concerns and guarantees that savanski expects and returns. but more broadly, you, of course, bilateral relations, humanitarian efforts, but peace talks and security guarantees, as well as the saudi arabia talks have been on the agenda. we understand that currently speaking, the church president has quite vocal a book that's been quite vocal about on canvas position and medi

what, 1st of all, what does the us have to offer the saudis and what does the us one from the saudis a it's a, it's a, it's a good question because i think the other one will help answer that as well. what, why is of the trying to mediate as well, why? why is that of your trying to be this mediating uh, trying to embrace this mediate, enroll a great deal of analysis. and frankly, so suggest that, okay, this is part of saudi diversification of it's of it's of, it's a relation strategic relations. and also it's repositioning in the smaller, multi polarizing world. that it is that we find ourselves and, but you know, what does this mean? this kind of diversification, i think what it does is that if saudi is becoming a focal point, and uh for mediation, it simply adds to the security of saudi arabia. it becomes more costly for people to attack saudi arabia. and it didn't, it kind of, it creates a more incentive for people to make sure that saturday is a bit more protected. and saudi arabia is dfcs to the center of gravity of the region and the center of gravity of a region that's becomin

that's why i'm not going to saudi arabia. we contacted our partners in saudi arabia and agreed that i'll be there on an official visit to march 10th with the surprise . all joining me now is yes and not i cannot of to correspond to it based out in this symbol. i mean, yes. and the coincidences happen, do we have anything moved from the lens to go about these developments in russia, the us and re at this trip thing council? of course, let them as landscape. it actually went in, say, a little bit more detail suggesting that the trip was cancelled or rescheduled for the 1st or 2nd week of march. but more importantly, there was a sense of resentment in his voice when he said that he will expect it to meet with the us delegation in care of suggesting that he will not go out of his way to continue these talks a great deal or something for the industry, if taken by u. s. president donald trump, to meet with the i sorry, the us delegation to meet with the russian delegation. but of course of the, at the press conference that was a gr

he also has investments in saudi arabia.offered to fix the relationship with her family over the course of the next, like, four, five months, she started to trust him more. michael pocalyko was proposed to her as her ticket to asylum. i emailed michael to ask if he told eden to move to dc. he didn't respond, so i gave him a call. hi, michael. my name's katy ling. 0h, 0k. he hung up on me. michael and a lawyer named bader. the train in dc. a saudi lawyer named bader met me at the train station. eden never mentions his full name — only bader — and that he's a lawyer helping with her asylum case. a search for lawyers named bader in dc led us search it again and a web page comes up, showing saudi lawyer bader nasser al—omair. in eden's messages, she mentioned her lawyer was harvard—educated. and found only one bader n alomair. pressuring her to detra nsition. eden decided to leave. eden hit me up and said that she was running away. "like, i got you. and she bought a megabus ticket. so she didn't come. whoever it was that showed

and that is the normalization of ties between saudi arabian israel, given the fact that saudi arabia says it will not recognize any sort of a kind of deal with regard to israel and the sort of normalization of ties if palestinians are not allowed to stay in gaza. okay, thank you so much. kimberly how good for that update from washington dc? straight to the ukrainian capital key. that's where a troll stratford are standing by for us, so that lensky has been speaking out. tell us what he's have to say of the yes he's been speaking from, you know, i see that i remember it's all the same. neighboring saudi arabia. i'll read you a bit more of his statement is just been just come through in the last few minutes . so lensky said that his visit to saudi arabia, he hopes he's planned for wednesday, as we know there are no ukrainians that are participating. and are you currently the officials of participating in these tools, in saudi between russian and american officials? so let's he said that i said there will be clarity on the date of meeting donald trump. off to visit by the us is ukrainia

and now already we're here in saudi arabia. we're looking at moscow in washington talking and most importantly, listening to each other like 4 minutes to elaborate said what was also made or being way of tracing its position about the conflict for 3 years. i don't think we necessarily need to recap, but it's always been very clear about what those red line saw, what it's not wanting to negotiate on. i'm so from washington is perspective, have we heard anything new from the trumpet administration about west some given take might be from said ministration approach to not only the conflict in ukraine, but i guess to the relationship with russia is quite different from the previous administration. i think it also, it goes with the rest of the board in foreign ministers, words about listening to each other. you are a secretary of state, mark rubio said that this is about dialogue. this isn't about monologue. and he also said that any diplomatic success is possible only with concessions made by all sides. i think diplomacy ultimately

and saudi arabia. do you think that he is jeopardizing that by pushing for something that saudi arabia has maintained? is not acceptable to them normalization with as well so long as they don't see a pathway to a palestinian state. well, i'd be listening to ben has a very careful that i think go with his id is invest of time to ya. so much share. so and add on to the contradictory that he got for most of them, most of them of not do of in and out of the country without extending julius to the for his own purposes as well. so anyway, i think that by mid to bid the but i just have to be it facing compounding problems that you probably kind of deal with. i, i really as an economist, so i've been following is the comic field is about his tax is about his. ready subsidies and so on. it seems to me that to nothing has been up to the test in real terms and most and many comments inside the united states. i mean, i'd be pointing the finger at this point. it says that these are not going to work . matthew, let

chiefly saudi arabia.hen president obama was seeking and signing the new deal, the council states were the front line of pressure. now they seem to be the frontline of moderation and live because they have their own domestic concerns when it comes to saudi arabia normalization and vision 2030. you don't want a regional war distracting from that. >> what more can we expect from the trumpet of mr. risch in part two in terms of its policies towards iran? >> the president has been fairly consistent in his desire for a deal. you can trace it back to the campaign period before term one. he will likely stick to the wording of the presidential memorandum. maximum pressure in word and indeed on the economic side of the equation. it will be magnified by the fact that islamic republic has been set back militarily by the israelis in the region. will the rubber hit the road? will the iranians engage with the americans? what happens when diplomacy fails? can maximum pressure be ramped up even further? at what point does

just as the 12 sarah bought the spots in saudi arabia. well, i think i would think it was time to that probably conjured up or thought of in the last 24 hours of the us team now is in the saudi arabia. i headed up by our secretary state demarco rubio and special envoy schwarzkopf. so they're, they're, they're ready begin the talks at any time. all right, trump has been saying that he wants to use all at least the level of pressure and pulse with russia. so what kind of message does you crate want to send by this attack then? well i think they're confused. they probably don't know what to say. they're in the backseat, as we say right now. and the key of i don't lose advising of the wednesday at a key of right now. i think of some of the european influence there are those driving p evans allows you to make these re very bad decisions. so, but just coming through and i think right now we get these the conference or the delegations to come up with a, uh, an agenda for trump and the pool debate shortly. and the sooner the better our protecting

i mean the saudis have repeatedly made clear and did. so last night i would say at 4 am local time, the saw the foreign ministry. so i necessary to put out a statement reiterate reiterated disposition. yeah, absolutely. that would be very flipped to refute what they had out of the white house along is, is normalization with saudi arabia, something that really drives as well. is it something that they're willing to give up? the other goals, whether it's some the occupied westbank, la garza for know it's been used by uh mr. niche anyhow, cynically, throughout the years to try and prove his point that the, the, the, the, the core of the conflict in the middle east is not the pal cnn issue. and the israel can, in fact, really to agreements with the entire world without dealing seriously. with the policy and issues. so he dangled out in front of the as early on the 4th. but there is a i'm, there is a chronological fault right here during the, the, by his ministration. a leading to um and including the 6th of october, 2023. there was talk abou

jordan saudi arabia against that. so the united states listening to the counter proposal being put forward by saudi arabia. but the other big concern here is the future of normalization, of ties between israel and saudi arabia saudi arabia, saying that it will not recognize the normalization of ties the or normalization with regard to israel, as long as palestinians are not allowed to stay in god, that's ok, thank you. kimberly. thank you for a lot. look forwarding from washington dc. charles struck 1st, joining us now from keith. tell us what president's the landscape is, how to say about all of this the what's the landscape is on a, on a plan, visit a long plan long before this recent development. so different medic push for a piece plan on the frame to the u. a. e. a and he gave a statement out so that he basically discussed, will highlighted some of the achievements that he had made with view a leadership finalizing. i kind of thank you me, you a huge role of being pivotal and helping to which of ukrainians held c

well, certainly try to push for deal with saudi arabia, but even saudi arabia is a 3rd hearing that may be can ignore the views of 98 percent of their population, which i think would oppose recognizing israel without recognizing palestinian statehood as, as well. a viable state alongside israel. so i, i think he will, into the alternative would be essentially to give a nothing yahoo a blank check. no, either for outright annexation or increasing the de facto annexation. i think we will see increasing violence. we're going to see a situation like we did in south africa and the 1980s of with the war and the townships and ends and or, or do use another analogy from that period. no salvage or where the united states, you know, allow the desk squads and, and the political calculations of the coalition. interest of the yes, well you have a kind of very different dynamic now that you from that i'm, it's in yahoo to get their fellow citizens out of gaza. and you have this conflicting kind of vision. the term it seems to be putting forward a mega deal with saudi normalization. but how do you get

but is the saudi government willing to put in that support? and a long way off?ot a government official, but that's what i hear. who brokered it on it? israel broke gaza. they should be the ones who rebuild it. why would would they build over and over again? it again and again. of gaza has destroyed those countries together. sharply in several european markets, partly — it's thought — in reaction to the involvement of its owner trade figures compared with the same month last year. made several controversial interventions in european politics, including backing the far right afd party in germany ahead of this month's elections. an earthquake registering a magnitude of 5.2 has been recorded between the greek islands of amorgos and after a wild chase in central india. the state of madhya pradesh. is bbc news. hello there. and indeed into next week it stays pretty cold — frost and fog will continue to be an issue overnight, but with some cloud and a bit of rain moving up from the south friday and the weekend, we could even will be so cold. across most of europe. wher

so i can be, he did not mention the so called saudi normalization. a kind of a charts or stick depends who he's talking to. and 3rd, uh, he mentioned uh nothing about it, ron. he did sign pick an executive order, imposing new sanctions on iraq. but that signal was more, an attempt to him gauge around for a new deal, rather than engaging. right? yeah. and there's as much the, like, the bigger issue is between these 2 countries between the us and israel, when it comes to the policy in the region that's talk more about some of those things. matthew stage 3 of the sci fi is supposed to see a 3 to 5 year plan for the reconstruction of gaza. donald trump seems to be saying, we'll take over that. we'll do the reconstruction. we'll get rid of the palestinians. and you know, will make it a wonderful, livable place. palestinians have no desire to leave goss. uh, what do you make of these 2 men standing up there talking about what should happen to palestinians? i mean, what i think is unfortunately, i think there's a great amount of continuity in an american pr

this our straight to saudi arabia we go with the world is watching as pop. american and russian officials are gearing up for an historic meeting. they're going to try and sort out a peace settlement for the ukraine conflict office out. you're going to pick one off, and i'll file this report for us, of course, here in saudi arabia with russia's foreign minister surgical avar off. i'm glad i'm . your board is on while you struck off, have just landed there, set to fold high level negotiations for the 1st time in many years with the united states. so there delegation is headed by us sector of state, marco rubio. obviously a lot is on the agenda. reporting to give you a call, one of the things that they're going to be focusing on is normalizing relations. the issue of restoring normal relations is on the agenda. so the question is about agreeing on how to start negotiations. for now in this context is we're talking about bilateral negotiations, and frankly, the face with which events are unfolding is quite astonishing. less than a week ago, the president vladimi

that's why i'm not going to saudi arabia. we contacted our partners in saudi arabia and agreed that i'll be there on an official visit. march 10th. there was a sense of resentment in his voice when he said that he won't expect it to meet with the us delegation in care of suggesting that he will not go out of his way to a great deal discussed with turkish president or the one we understand that the 2 a discussed a number of items on the agenda of course, 1st and foremost of the mediation role that turkey has been undertaking. this is a significant point that we'll get into in a little bit, but also the reforming of ukraine's territory integrity. certain concerns and guarantees that savanski expects and returns. but more broadly, of course, bilateral relations are mandatory efforts, but piece stocks and security guarantees, as well as the saudi arabia talks have been on the agenda. we understand that currently speaking, the church president has vocal book that's been quite vocal about on christmas position and mediating these t

and the saudis, in one sentence, the saudis, they want stability.o i think that the saudis, who have a major sway on on trump way, way, way more than mr. netanyahu would dream of having the saudis may, may end up driving or impelling trump to negotiate with iran. >> okay. so you seem to think that israel would go it alone if the u.s. doesn't overtly support an attack in iran, but but that that seems extraordinary, doesn't it? i mean, to go ahead without u.s. support or approval. >> yeah, absolutely. uh, he. here's the thing. rosemary israel lacks the capability, both in terms of munitions. the required bunker buster bombs. you know, those 30,000 ton, uh, i'm sorry, 30,000 pounds. uh, bombs. and it lacks the ability for an aerial, sustainable aerial attack. so, by definition, an israeli attack would be limited. and the repercussions may be very difficult. and israel may go at it alone, even in a limited way. only if it gets a green light or some kind of an implicit consent from the u.s. even without american involvement. >> the trump administration i

so that saudi arabia, you have jordan, egypt, and the rest of the era believe which also includes saudi arabia who have denounced these comments by presidents from previously. it's still a little bit early in the region, so there haven't been a lot of fresh reactions, but they've been saying this for days, but they're absolutely not going to accept the force transfer the ethnic cleansing, and permanent displacement of the palestinian people from the gaza strip. and it's also worth mentioning, that's jordan's king is set to travel to the united states to meet with president trump at the white house next week. and rest assured, this will be the main agenda item that they discuss now, cause a benjamin us know who is already in the white house. that's where we had these comments from what are we hearing from inside israel high the as well. these really public as well. as the is really government is receiving this well, in fact a survey that was done 2 days ago that was published in is really media found that 80 percent of respondents supported removing forcibly displacing guns is palestinia

this gives the saudis a lot of leverage. and the saudis have been very, very clear.hey do not want that again. however, they have to come up with something practical. and by the way, the saudis and other arab countries also don't want to see hamas governing gaza. how do you manage this is going to be the biggest challenge that they have. >> no doubt. ghaith al-omari, thank you so much. we appreciate it. thank you. up next on gps. is america headed towards a constitutional crisis? i'll ask a legal expert when we come back. >> cooked books. >> corporate fat. >> cats, swindling socialites. doped up cyclists, and yes, more crooked politicians. >> i have a feeling we won't be running out of those anytime soon. >> a new season of united states of scandal with jake tapper. march 9th on cnn. >> here's to getting. >> better with age. >> here's to. >> beating these two every thursday. >> help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need and the flavor you love. so here's to now. now available boost max. >> gets 0%. >> apr for 60. >> months on 2024. gmc ev mo

comes to headlines throwing off the international is history in the making with piece on the table in saudi arabia. talk different amounts from russia and the united states. so set to meet, to normalize relations and find the resolution to the ongoing ukraine conflict. the key of is bitterly understanding that the men's provisions are unattainable, and that the new conditions for ending the hostilities and ukraine will be far worse for them. yeah, it's a dose of reality at the united nations, a lot of mazda lensky and 5th note discussions. first, that one can happen without kids, the tools will go on and he's apparently not even on the guest list. you're looking for a spot on the sidelines, e, you politicians, hold emotions, a tolten powers, but no kind of action is developed. and all that as hungry lambs them for trying to print long. so we're seeing a gathering a pro war, anti trump frustrated european leaders who wants to stop in agreement from happening on peace and ukraine. the whole look at the program here, winowski international. uh, there are many remaining of domestic the history

don't just returning to the much anticipated summit in saudi. we know pretty much he's coming from moscow now. prof. presidential aids, i'm sure more in terms of the makeup of the us team. what are we looking at him? well, we've already seen the video of secretary of state, marco rubio, touching down in saudi arabia. so it looks like he's going to be part of the american delegation. but earlier in the day we also heard from trump's special envoy in the middle east. steve wick off, who said that he's going to be making his way to saudi arabia with his colleagues, with the rest of the delegation. and there's also reports that the national security advisor mike waltz is going to be there as well. and they've all gone with the stated purpose of improving ties with moscow and making some sort of progress towards a potential peaceful resolution of the ukraine conflict. and that's something that is obviously bad news for vladimir zaleski who's already freaking out about the fact that he didn't know in advance these negotiations were going to take place
