The white house, as president biden, is willing to work with congress after senior sen called for a freeze on corporation with saudi arabia. From the beginning of the Administration Since taking office, the president has been very clear that United States need to need a different sort of relationship with saudi arabia. He has said that from very early on. And i have said this last week when opec made the decision to align their Energy Policy with russias war and war aims and against the american people. Further underscore is that reasoning to realign that relationship to reevaluate that relationship with saudi arabia. We are reviewing where we are currently right now and will be watching closely over the coming weeks and months as well. Kimberly, healthcare has more from the white house. Well, this is something that has really been concern for many on capitol hill for some time. This us saudi relationship, as there has been concern about particularly the issue of human rights. And so this is something that many members of congress, not just from the opposition republican party, but also from the president s own democratic party, have been urging the white house to do not just the biden administration, but also the trumpet ministration for many years to reevaluate this relationship and so this is something that as weve been reporting the National Security both 1st and john kirby says, is now something that the white house is willing to look at. And given the fact that the president did travel to saudi arabia and recent months, did feel that he had a good conversation with the saudi current.

So theres a number of reasons why the white house is not happy about this decision. And one of the big reasons is that there is a Congressional Election that is coming up in just a matter of weeks, in fact, in november. And this is really seem to benefit the president. Well, adversaries here in the United States, High Energy Prices really are not good for the president politically. And so thats one reason that this white house is not happy about this.

And also, United States see as far as the main enemy, this would be cutting oil production, will raise gas prices before the election bed for them across bed for president biden. And also is seen as a lying to the area with shock them in us. Any, this is why, you know, might, the space by dana administration is very unhappy with this development.

I quoted miramar sentence to pose liter unsung sushi to 3 more years in prison on charges of accepting a bribe. There was 20 change on his like now from bangkok, tony. So just talk through what happened in court today. Was she was facing 2 charges of corruption relating to cash bribes that she was alleged to have received mainly at her house. This occurred on a number of occasions. The court was told by a prominent businessman medical among wake. He had said he visited her house on a number of occasions. Left parcel was wrapped in black paper with some ranging between 80850000 us dollars for her in return for preferential treatment and government tenders. His company had made that those accusations were actually broadcast, live on me and my tv after the qu, he himself is, is a rather dubious witness or witnesses, questionable quality. Hes previously served to prison terms for drug possession. Nonetheless, she was found guilty on both charges today and was sentenced to 3 years for each charge. However, the court ruled that she would serve both sentences similar tenuously. So it adds simply 3 years to the 23 years shes already facing, which is a very considerable term. Her lawyer session were able to speak to her very briefly. She instructed them to appeal these these convictions, and they reported back that she was in good health tonys from its, its worth reminding our viewers of these Court Sentences handed down to ang suji, actually hadnt quite frequently. So whats me at the gym to trying to achieve here . Well, theyre effectively trying to remove completely from the political scene. They have said since the qu, in february 2021, that they were going to hold elections to restore democracy and their woods. I think many people assume that will be a pretty flawed election. Weve seen a lot of maneuvering within pro joan to Political Part to the leadership of several part is being replaced with with people who are known to be very close to the senior general men on lie. I think they know very well that if there was any form of election an accent suit, she was on the ballot paper, she would win overwhelmingly, as she has done in the past. So she has now been effectively, completely removed. These challenges amount to 20. So with these convictions about 26 years, effectively, she 77 years old. She wouldnt get out of jail until shes a 103. 00. Now it may be the gender has in mind once they have settled that election in the autumn of next year, they may come to some agreement where she is released early or shes left under house arrest. Nonetheless, i think they recognize very well that yvonne censor she was to contest an election. Theres no way that when all right, attorney july, 1st the in bangkok, tony, thank you.

He said its his top priority. After recent russian narr strikes, latasha butlers in brussels with more and what the g 7 just got. Place to g 7 and nato pledging to continue to supply more weapons. The key, something to keep is repeatedly off for both the g 7 and nato. Also think that they condemned the recent russian. This all attacks on ukraine, on civilian areas and also on civilian infrastructure. And they can then move illegal annexation of policy. If you train and what both a bodies called the referendum took place, they call them better roof to not to deploy troops to fight a little side. Russian soldiers in ukraine got off the min suggested that they could deploy it soldiers into the country. And of course, and also i think, hold on all sides to try and find a way to move one piece.

The us president , if that should come about, students continued to protest in iran almost a month after the death of a young woman in Police Custody demonstrators that a tear on university gathered to form the word, blood in fantasy Rights Groups and protested, have been sharing videos on social media, despite internet shut downs and a Police Practice is ready, forces had been deployed near the legal settlement of survey, some run in the occupied west bank after a soldier was shot dead on tuesday. The palestinian arm group lyons den says it was responsible. If the 2nd such attack on Israeli Forces in recent days, the leaders of palestine, rival Political Parties are meeting in algeria for 2 days of talks focused on reconciliation. Is the latest effort to solve a rift between hamas and fattah after previous agreements failed. Well hm. As, as govern the gaza strip since defeating president muffin would, our boss is for that party in elections in 2006 Armed Conflict broke out after father refused to recognize the results. It ended when hamis forced further out of gaza. But since then, the palestinian leadership has been split, amass runs, the gaza strip. Father governs the westbank unit else. I had told us what the response has been in gaza. There is a white disbelief among the people in the gaza strip. That these reconciliation efforts would be any different than the several previous our reconciliation efforts to bring any success between hamis and flattery. We cannot to disregard the general interest among the people of garza who do strongly wish for a reconciliation between father had hammers, which would mean at least the opening of the crossings. The returning of at least 40000. 00 policy authority. Employees who have been told to stay home after the hammock take over since 2006 to return to their jobs. And maybe even the lifting of the last thing is really blow kate. But to, as the people say in the street, that these, this internal division that has been going on for at least 16 years now has been compounded by many on demands and many disagreements between both hamis and that they do not see that theyre not optimistic about at the ending of, of these disagreements, by just our efforts of the, of talks. They believe that more efforts are to be made for these disagreements to be sold. Especially when we look at our hamis demands. Which is a frontside that uh with which are in the president ial law elections. New president ial elections, new legislative elections, and the us top thing. Or could a seas of security coordination with israel need abraham mass more from ramallah and the occupied westbank. People here feel like the 2 parties have vested interest in maintaining the status quo, whereby the Palestinian Authority is controlling the occupied west bank somehow is controlling the gods. But people will tell you that whatever control they have is very limited. Because ultimately, the real control is in the hands of the occupying power, which is israel. This is why many palestinians believe that both parties are clinging to power. And they do not believe that they are serious in their efforts to end the past in individual preferred alarm. And yet when the disagreement is over, who rules, not the Political Program, its about how much i get. How do i maintain control notes over the Political Program . As they claimed it 1st, no one wants to make concessions of the p a has its demands in hamas has its own. The p a talks about one or 31. 00 weapon. Hamas says we have armed groups and we are in the liberation process. Theres no disagreement on the Political Program, both agree on a states in the west bank and gaza. And that was the core difference before to expand on the issue of the political a program after him asked, has changed its tortured charter a few years ago saying that it will accept having a palestinian state on the 967 board. There is with a long truth, many say that at the end both wont the same thing, which is the same Political Program. So what really is the division or the, the main point of contention is that both parties want to still maintain that power and control, even though it is limited. We see that tension on the ground. We see that there are at us. Its based on political affiliation. Here and in the besieged goddess through a weve seen 3 fights also in nablus in the past few weeks because the Palestinian Authority at us did her math activists in nablus and the palestinian authorities. The officials at the preceding thought. The advent officials often say that they will not allow her mast again grounds in the occupied westman or spanish football fan.
