is negotiating or discussing with saudi arabia as well as with the uae?well, i wish i could tell you more other than we know this defense agreement is probably -- if the israeli prime minister said the agreement has been signed and being implement it and has already been [indiscernible] to shield off the tax. the defense agreement as far as we know at minimum includes unified air defenses, unified intelligence sharing, unified and to aerial threats. what it obligates the united states to do, what exactly the commitments are that president biden is making to the autocracy and apartheid government to the middle east, we don't know because he has not told us. i believe the reason the biden administration is keeping this secret from the america people is the same reason he penned the op-ed in the washington post. it is shameful. he knows it is shameful. if it was something to be proud about, they would have been posting to the rafters. he knows it is a conciliatory, humiliating capitulation to the golf governments and to israel in order to win them back as i

off to the side, with arab states such as saudi arabia and the uae.: i want to get to the regional dynamics in a minute, but i also want to talk about the peace process between israel and palestine, the so-called peace process. the biden administration says it is still working towards that. khalid, i know you yourself have been involved in previous talks between the palestinians and the israelis. given the current situation and the u.s. response to the coming of ours journalist shireen abu akleh, how are the palestinians actually viewing joe biden as the president at the moment? guest: i think there is a deep sense of disappointment in the biden administration, on the part of, certainly the palestinian leadership, but much more so the palestinian people, although expectations were already pretty low on that front. as far as a leadership is concerned, they were hoping for a much more proactive and engaged administration after four years of trump that had really set back american-palestinian relations to an unprecedented low. and so far, most of the tru

the uae is talking to iran. there seems to be an effort to create some kind of new motive between iran and saudi arabia and other gulf states to diffusion the tensions. >> that's indeed the case. the president tried to take credit in his speech in saudi arabia that there is now a seize fire in yemen. that seize fire actually owes a lot to the iranian saudi dialogue that's on going and it's very clear that the arabs want protection against iraq but they don't want the kind of aggressive policies that for instance, israel is following with iran that could risk a war. i think they've made a decision that the united states is not going to go to war with iran. the united states is not focused on ukraine and on china and one of the ways of managing iran is actually to lower the temperature with iran. this does not mean peace is in the air but the saudis and uae definitely are interested in a less aggressive posture with iran and that's very different from the way the israelis are pushing from a much more aggressive po

the uae and iraq and egypt who the u.s. president will have bilateral meetings within the next hour or so. is it clear how this region is positioning itself with regard, the u.s., at present, and the wider region expects from the u.s. president? or hopes to get? >> it's very hard to predict. this region is changing. they expect the united states to keep up with that change. one of the indicators that they might be aligning themselves more deeply and over the long term with the u.s., was their commitment that biden said he from the saudis to invest in u.s.-made, g5, g6 technology. you have to go with us, because china's state will get the information. and you can't be a security partner. that's only part of the picture, and you can't say that fills the whole frame. >> very briefly. the quest to get israel better positioned and normalized with other arab states, how much success has the u.s. president had, briefly. >> biden came out with an unexpected press conference to head off that imagery of the fist bump. that they can o

the uae is talking to iran. there seems to be an effort to create some kind of new motive between iran and saudi arabia and other golf states to die fuse the tensions. >> that's indeed the case. the president tried to take credit in his speed in saudi arabia that there is now a cease-fire in yemen, but that cease-fire actually hoelsd a lot to the dying log that's going. it's very clear they want protengz against iraq, but they don't want the kind of progressive policies israel is wanting with iran that could risk war. i think they made a decision that the united states is not going to go to war with iran. the united states is now focused. they want to lower the temperature with iran. it does not mean there's peace in the air. but they're definitely less aggressive in their posturing. that's different than the way the israelis are pushing. the prime minister of israel said we should put options on the table. i don't think saudi arabia and uae are quite there. >> and what about the other kind of great global power

certainly, israel, and saudi arabia, and the uae, going a great deal.precedented security agreement. american security protections. but what, really, is america getting in return? we already know, even increased output by saudi arabia, in the uae, will not significantly impact, or improve oil prices, in the united states. really, it is quite astonishing, and quite shocking, to be honest. >> jamal khashoggi's lawyer, has been detained in the united arab emirates. the emirates news agency, reporting, that case, and we have it on the screen, that case, arose upon the american authorities request for judicial assistance, regarding their investigations of the accused for tax evasion. this was after president biden spoke with mbs about khashoggi 's killing, what is your reaction to this development? what can you tell us about this particular case? >> this is something that we have no information about. it is something that they had no information about the best of our abilities even if there was some kind of an investigation to detain him, or convict him in a

now many of these are in the uae and saudi arabia.decided to let that lie, let that be on the side while they try to move forward with what they see as their own interests. so it's really a push of the feared iran, the opportunities economic and otherwise, and the pullback you have seen in the past on the palestinian regime. brent: i understand your latest book is titled "does israel have a plan?" referring to the palestinians. if i am reading you correctly right now, for this he was president visiting israel, -- u.s. president visiting israel, it doesn't matter whether israel has a plan when it comes to the palestinians. is that right? >> the book is forthcoming next year i hope. but israel's plan and a sense for the palestinians and so far has been tt this issue can wait. israel has had an anti-solution is to approach. which is to say in the eyes of israelis, they've gone out of -- run out of opportunities to promote peace for the palestinians and therefore tried to advance other interests, almost trying to forget the issue, as hard

do you think the uae can get up to 4 million barrels per day?happy that world leaders are becoming more conversant on energy issues. there's a lot of additional upside in the uae and saudi arabia. unlike other parts of the private sector, the international oil companies, the national oil companies are investing in new supply and this is really important. they can be the only ones. -- they cannot be the only ones. we need western energy companies to begin investing in hydrocarbons and there has been not just esg pressure but investor pressure. we want better returns. we have talked a lot to producers about increasing supply. the conversation has to move to the investor and financial community. >> what about prices right now? do you think this is going to be a longer-term correction? >> i think we are seeing a tale of two markets. the paper markets focused on years of recession and maybe waning energy or gasoline demand in the u.s. and the strong dollar maybe. on the physical side, there is tremendous pressure and type markets. the prices that the

point number two is whether the uae and saudi arabia can release more oil.e know mohammed bin's oman -- mohammed bin salamon told micron a few weeks ago at the g7 he did not think there was enough oil that the uae and saudi could pump in the next six months to affect gas prices in the u.s.. that is from the horses mouth in abu dhabi. we know that regional officials do not think they are pumping more will lead to the kind of political benefit you guys are talking about in the studio. between those things, possibly. seems like the national security advisor and president would not be confident about more oil coming if they were to get private reassurances. whether we see a difference is another question. >> talking about neither saying yes or no. an american official not exactly saying yes or no, that is joe mansion. he says right now, he is a no on the climate change portion of the biden agenda. i think a lot of democrats think it means he's a no forever. take us into what is happening and how big a deal it is. >> he is a know this month. this was this last 24

uae, countries like that. as long as the oligarchs or the people in mr.'s circle can hide their wealth or visit countries like the uae were countries in asia, for example, they will not feel the brunt of the sanctions. i said this before, that if these oligarchs, these people in mr. putin's circle want to go anywhere on vacation, they only have two options. north korea, or illegally named islands in the south china sea by china. these sanctions take a lot of work. they will not be employed overnight. even with turkey, which by the way is trying to play mediator between ukraine and russia, they, too are very reliant on russian tourism. so it is very difficult for them to go all the way and put in the really tough sanctions. >> has russia had any diplomatic success in limiting europe's attempt to isolate russia? sergei lavrov is doing a tour of africa at the moment after reaching a grain deal in the middle east. >> i think russia may not necessarily have been able to leverage its relationship with populace parties. that is not surprising because they have a

the virtual summit i mentioned with the uae and india is a way of linking the regional coalition with indo pacific u.s. partners focused on balancing china or competing with china for influence. another part of the joint declaration launched a u.s.-israeli technology cooperation initiative but the major focus that is couched in technical language is on ensuring china does not get undue access to sensitive technologies. russia and china are on the table in every relationship. that is true about saudi arabia, getting saudi cooperation and toughening the biden sanctions on russia is important and fundamentally getting insurance saudi arabia will align themselves with u.s. interests is really important. that was new and a reality all of us have to get used to, that all relationships including our closest partners are going to reflect u.s. priorities and those important global competitions. halie: thank you. ambassador indyk, how does this trip compared to past presidential visits in israel and what are your three key takeaways? fmr. amb. indyk: the three key takeaways, joe biden comes off

president's participation in the four-way virtual summit during this visit with the leaders of the uae and india shows there's an interest in getting this regional coalition to be linked to other us partners. in this case a major in domestic partner inindia . of course the announcement of saudi arabia's overflights and the settlement of asylums . the status of two islands in the red sea is also an important sign of the overarching theme of this whole visit is about normalization . and that i think is settled that question and of course it goes beyond what the abraham courts are producing and cooperation and energy and water and health care and education and all the other fields and is also made possible by israel's anticipation in the us military command and oversees the middle east which enables direct training and technology exchanges and meetings and other kinds of engagements between israeli and military officials and their counterparts including countries and yet normalized with and that's the basis for doing the security cooperation on regional basis . there is discussion around

the uae said exactly the same thing. saudi arabia also is worried about the threat of iran and its proxies and the fact that iran could get nuclear weapons and have said they'll get their own if iran does. >> and yet they've been in direct talks with the saudis for some months now. >> they have. and in the uae we heard just yesterday that they're on track to open an embassy in tehran. so all these things were in play. so the hard thing for president biden is if you want to create a joint security umbrella, which is what they're talking about, and show commitment to the region, you've got to join the dots with everyone. and the dots are all over the map at the moment. and it's going to be hard to find consensus on precisely what that security should look like. but that again comes back to the old oil security paradigm and gulf states want that. and if the u.s. can't find a way to match desires, that's going to put them on the back foot against their competitors, russia and china. it's no -- it's no coincidence that the un

i mean, countries like the uae, united arab emirates, mexico and israel., but still doing business with russia outside of the sanctions. and critics will argue that they're propping up the kremlin war machine. are there economic consequences of not taking a side? i think the key thing is that if you look at the sanctions the west has imposed — i mean, they had three key elements. one is to detach russia from the international financial system. and frankly, the west itself is enormously powerful in that. there are only a limited number of truly convertible international currencies, and they're all either within the g7 or countries very closely linked to the g7. so cutting russia off from those currencies, by for example freezing the russian central bank's assets, that is very powerful. even though some other countries with their own currencies may not be taking the same kind of measures. similarly, in terms of the freezing of the assets of wealthy people who support president putin, a lot of those assets are in western countries. now, there is an extent to

, so is the uae, so are our friends at copa.re all talking to the iranians because we want to resolve our differences through dialogue. we hope iranians will respond in kind. >> what did you say to president biden on his position of a last resort strike on iran? >> it would not be my place to comment on another country's positions. >> you must have said something to president biden because the outfall reaction could have an impact on saudi arabia. >> our discussion with president biden focused on how to address the iranian threat. and here we talked about, first of all, negotiations, but also putting together unusual pressure to incentivize the iranians to come to the negotiating table. >> what pressure does that look like? >> that is something that we have to figure out. i hope the iranians will take the inducements which are enbetr integrate into the region, economic cooperation with their neighbors. here we're working with the u.s. to build our capacity, ours and the others in the region to build our capacity to defend oursel

we look forward to the uae hosting the next two major u.n. climate conferences. the united states will not allow foreign regional powers to jeopardize navigation through the middle east's waterways. nor will we tolerate efforts of any country to dominate another in the region through military buildups, incursions, or threats. the free flow of commerce and resources through the middle east is the lifeblood of a global economy. that is as true today as it has been for decades. when nations adhere to international rules, the biden administration has made it a priority to protect those vital waterways. we will work in partnership with many of your navies to secure the red sea. that includes the first naval task force to use multi-manned surface vessels to enhance marine maritime awareness. we are also upgrading air defenses to ensure we can defeat airborne threats. the united states will not just work to answer the threats to regional stability. we will respond wherever possible. this approach has yielded dividends, for example in yemen. we have forged a truce that i

we also welcome the $25 million contribution from the uae. i encourage other nations around the region and around the world to step up as well in their own countries to support the vital work that is being done here. palestinians and israelis deserve equal measure of freedom, security, prosperity, and dignity. and access to health care when you need it is essential to living the life of dignity for all of us. the united states will continue to work with the palestinian leadership, the government of israel, and all of our international partners to make sure east jerusalem's hospital network remains sustainable, remains available, and is able to provide high-quality care the palestinian people deserve. i could say much more but if my mother were here, she would look at me and say, joey, hush up, you have spoken too long. i want to thank you again for welcoming me today. most importantly, thank you for taking care of all the patients, all the patients whose lives you make better. may god bless you all and i'm finished. thank you.

is now a team well, she and she were the favorites now, the strongest team of the uae and well, plust, you can say the state the level that andriy yarmolenko has in the new team, and we do not rule out the possibility that this tandem will move to dynamo together, there is such a possibility, a huge possibility. by the way , serhiy rebrov himself also really wants to return to kyiv dynamo. actually, the contract is currently mirchoi and luchesk are not afraid of anything at their age. here, too, we need to give credit to luchesk . he managed to set up a team and the legionnaires have now come to dynamo kyiv. i understand that we will talk about shakhtar or separately, but what is now shakhtar without legionnaires well, let's say shakhtar's version that they don't return to the club. i think this is not 100% correct, because vorskla is training with the legionnaires , zorya is training with the legionnaires, training with the brazilians, including kyiv. dynamo is training with the legionnaires and all the teams that have already started training, which have legionnaires who are prepar

sudan say let's start allowing flights and business relationships, you have been to bahrain and the uaeave you seen on the ground? and will saudi arabia join the abraham accords? >> we have to be grateful to the previous administration for the support we received before we signed that agreement. anded today you see the business atmosphere, you know, we have 14 flights a week flying from until avive to dubai, and i hope business people coming from the uae into lviv. so we are very optimistic about that. today will be so i think for the first time the biden administration is actually using the term abraham accord and speaking about -- [inaudible] which i think is very important. and then tomorrow when president biden will fly to saudi arabia, we hope that he will continue to support the spirit of that. and hopefully, the saudis will join. i don't think it will happen tomorrow, but i think tomorrow we're going to hear some news about small steps of normalization, basically allowing israeli flights to fly over saudi arabia. and that would be a good start for us. if. liz: and muslims in the

if you combine the uae and saudi arabia, maybe 3 million barrels per day. the best you can get is a pledge. that is capacity. you don't mess around with the reserves of the central bank. the price starts moving aggressively to the upside. that and diplomatic activity including security will be some of the highlights. dani: thank you very much. to the banking sector. morgan stanley plummeted last quarter. capital market seized up. jp morgan extended share buybacks after reporting a miss on second court revenue. the two ceos sounded upbeat about the economic outlook. >> there's a range of potential outcomes, from a soft landing to a hard landing, driven by how much rates go up. the effect of volatile markets. it isn't going to change how we run the company. we've managed through recesses before and i'm comfortable we will do it while. >> we are frankly guessing at this stage. i think it's unlikely to be a deep and dramatic procession in the u.s.. the environment is very complicated. bought of uncertainty. frankly for our business model, we fare relatively wel

it was seen as ground—breaking to normalise relations between israel and the uae among a few other countriest. what impact has that had for the economies such as yours? extraordinary. not only has there been over half a million israeli tourists flocking to the beaches and malls of dubai during the pandemic when they needed it, but there are billions of dollars of deals being transacted. right after the accords i predicted $10 billion of activity and people thought i was nuts. my team in the gulf said i was too conservative and that should be 100 billion over the next decade and is now the minister of economy of the uae has talked about $1 trillion. when you bring the saudi flu doings income in our crowd we invest income in our crowd we invest in technology company, hundreds of them and they range from food, the clouds, cyber security, transportation, these are all areas the saudis and the rest of the golf partners are crazy interested in because if you look at what the saudis are building, that incredible new city on the red sea coast. when you look at how quickly they are putting into techn

>> reporter: we did hear the president invite the uae leader. president biden assures us and assured us before the meeting that something is going to happen, not today but something will happen in the next few weeks, bringing gas prices down at home. will: i can't help but contrast the reception donald trump got on his first foreign trip to saudi arabia. emboldened by an election when saying we be energy independent so we are not dependent on you and a new strategy around our real allies, the state of israel and being forthright about what america first looks like on the global stage eventually you get to the point you have the abraham accord, saudi arabia closer than ever to recognizing israelite here we are today talking about fist bumps and human rights records as we say we are not asking for oil when we are and getting good residual outcomes on israel, flyover rights not because of anything the biden administration did but because of the relationship -- kayleigh: donald trump got the red carpet, biden got the purple carpet, all that amounted

i mean, you saw that in the uae hosted assad on the 11th anniversary of the syrian uprising which is a rather callous moment to host him if any moment would have been good. you know, what further steps are the administration taking to prevent countries like the uae but others from normalizing ties with the assad regime? >> chairman, you know, one thing that i have looked at him very closely is sort of the difference between the rhetoric and the sort of the misinformation disinformation, much of it bra presented by damascus, through its backers rush and damascus, to say that there's a wave supporting acid in the region. opinion is divided, with a significant number of arab states having no desire to travel down that road. now what i hear from some of the partners of ours in the region the theory of their cases well there is an air voice, our voices missing damascus fort along. the way to get at mitigating diminishing pushing out iranian presidents and iranian activities in syria is to reinsert that arab voice. that's the theory of their case. i frankly am wholly skeptical. i think as

i mean, they already kidnapped in like thailand in the airport and in dubai, uae government working with kidnapping this refugee seekers. would you help at least you know, give the administration some suggestion advice to recognize them and working with the u.s. embassies in these countries before the chinese government kidnapping them back to china? and to resettle them? yeah, as the modern day mayflower church, that's what they are known. and the pastor was actually ordained as a presbyterian church pastor by the presbyterian church in america denomination in philadelphia. >> thank you so much. let me turn it to our chair, nury turkel. i'm sure he'll want to respond to this. chair turkel: thank you. thank you, pastor. this is -- before i start addressing the china issues. one of the -- i am gonna add a few points to the earlier countries that we've discussed, nigeria, pakistan and others. one of the classic mistakes, traditional mistakes, repeated mistakes that our government and others make always when it's called out governments entities individuals. when it's convenient. and look th

and something that you could do now because of israelis alliance with these arab nations, with the uae, with bahrain. will they do that with saudi arabia? i think eventually but not in the near future. >> admiral, he's headed to saudi arabia, this historic direct flight. what are some of the pitfalls or potential potholes that he could bump into. it is controversial and yet there are strategic interests at play. >> let's begin with the location. he's not going to riyadh, he's going to jida, this is the los angeles, if you will, of saudi arabia to the degrees that you could make that point. it is on the red sea. and it is the connective water way that between israel, egypt and saudi arabia. so good symbolic content there. obviously there is going to be a lot of focus on will he shake hands or bump fits and so on with the crown prince. i think that is not the issue here. the questions i have coming out of the conversation will be energy, are we going to get some help from our -- our saudi friends on easing prices globally and number two, china, how will saudi arabia play in this growing

kinds of terrible stories and ngos have evacuated a large number of them to humanitarian city in the uaeile other refugees are being processed, the religious minorities are not being processed because they don't have preferential treatment. the ira round tables sent two letters asking for p2 status for them. and i really think the only answer is gonna be to do a ukraine type thing where religious groups in the us are willing to take care of their fellow believers. but i'm just wondering whether you commissioners have that on your radar screen, and it's kind of an emergency because they're going to try to clear out humanitarian city by the end of august, which is just around the corner. thank you. >> okay, sure. no, i'll just make a comment that we have made that formal recommendations, as you said for the p2 status. so, this is something that we in our annual report and even before, have made that recommendation, we still hope to see that move forward. so i think we're all on the same page. unfortunately, it's been as you well know, quite complicated. but it's definitely still on our rad

study about the enhancement of rainfall and it has turned out that the cloud-seeding actually in the uaeases the rainfall by about 23% on average. on best situation, it can reach up to around 35% of enhancing of rainfall. reporter: heavy clouds are gathering in the sky over the gulf. it's important that things now proceed quickly. ahmed al kamali radios anders mard and gives him the coordinates of a promising cumulus cloud. the pilot picks up the trail and steers towards it. timing is everything now. anders: there's so many things going on at the same time. you have to fly the airplane, you have to navigate around the clouds so that in time and space you are in the correct place, but you must also navigate in relation to the actual cloud formations. reporter: on command, anders mard fires four rounds, slowly turning as he does so. in the control room, the meteorologists are already looking for the next cloud that he can head for. he seeds up to 20 in three hours. success often follows very quickly. happy moments for the whole team. anders: i am convinced this technique works. and i'm not

nick: it is such an interesting question because we see egypt, jordan, bahrain, uae, the countries thatalized relationships politically with israel beginning to share military and intelligence. what that allows them to do is to talk about a kind of regional air defense architecture against iran, iranian missiles and drones. saudi officials are not quite there yet. i asked about that, he said we need to see progress in israel and see peace between the israelis and palestinians before saudi arabia can truly normalize with israel. that includes behind-the-scenes military intelligence cooperation that u.s. officials tell me is simply not happening, in part because it, they say, king salman is still alive and mbs is not quite in charge yet. as long as king someone is alive, the people i speak to inside the u. government believe there will be no normalization and no real effort to share military or intelligence between saudi arabia and israel as the israelis would like. william: nick schifrin from saudi arabia, thank you. nick: thanks. william: for more on president biden's trip to saudi arab

saudi arabia, uae are sort of the two countries that have some spare capacity. >> reporter: earlier on friday president biden met with palestinian leader mahmoud abass, saying he supports two-state solution for palestine and israel even though the timing is uncertain. >> even if the ground is not ripe at this moment to restart negotiations, the united states and my administration will not give up on trying to bring the palestinians and israelis and both sides closer together. >> translator: the opportunity for the two-state solution on the borders may be available today only. >> reporter: the biden administration announced more than $300 million for the palestinians including money for a hospital network. natalie brand, cbs news. >>> mr. biden also announced that israel has agreed to give palestinians access to 4g internet. >>> today, the secretary of the interior for fish and wildlife and parks is in san francisco. she is touting investments by cities to create now parks and update existing infrastructure including a project in the bay that includes community gardens and picnic and pl

just how much ability saudi arabia and the uae has to do about this? that potential is limited. start to see the effects of president biden's trip in the next opec meeting? that is what i'm going to keep my eye on. jon: on that note let's bring in annmarie hordern, who has been traveling with the president and leading a lot of the reporting on what will not be happening on this trip. just got the chart there from greedy -- from kriti. what can you tell us about what ultimately comes out of these conversations? annmarie: well, the administration has been working with saudi officials about this discussion, about adding more barrels to the market. even during the entire covid pandemic and coming out of the pandemic the saudi's have taken a cautionary tone. during the pandemic it was about making sure they were not out of the woods yet. now they are worried about a global recession. what you have coming out of this meaning is not going to be any emphatic decisions on whether or not they are going to come to the aid to the president in washington to bring down gasoline prices. but wh

for example, trade between israel and the uae has ballooned. and where you had almost no trade before, now it's -- i believe the percentage has increased by 200% or something like that. it's in the range of about $20 billion of trade. that's significant and it shows how much each side has to gain. >> i mean, just the fact that the president of the united states is going to be flying from israel to saudi arabia is in and of itself an important milestone. i want to bring in nbc's raf sanchez in jerusalem. good morning. talking with hagar the two-state solution. there is clearly a difference there between the president of the united states and the leadership in israel. >> reporter: yeah, jose, that's right. the israeli prime minister and the american president putting out this joint declaration earlier today. had a lot to say about iran. had a lot to say about technology. it had very little to say about the israeli/palestinian conflict. it committed the two sides to continuing dialogue and it committed them to trying to improve the everyday life o
