deadly heatwave is baking parts of europe, sparking wildfires along its path. we ll look at what s causing these record-breaking temperatures. it s now noon here in saudi arabia, and the leaders of the gulf cooperation council plus three will soon be gathering for their rather important summit. president biden will be meeting one-on-one this hour with the president of the united arab emirates. earlier he talked with the leaders of egypt and iraq. the summit officially gets under way in the next hour after president biden and others is a assemble for what s called the classic photo, which is expected at the top of the hour. the brutal murder of journalist jamal khashoggi certainly cast appal. president biden is hoping this trip will help move the two countries forward, while still making clear, he says, that he holds mohammad bin salman, the crown prince, responsible for the killing. here s what he said after meeting with the crown prince in jeddah on friday. i made my vie
It was condemned by the west as glaringly unfair and undemocratic. Washington and the European Union are boycotting the Kremlin Ceremony, although france and some other eu states have sent an envoy despite a plea not to do so by ukraine. With me is andrei 0stalski, the former editor of bbc russian. Take us through what we are looking at. , ,. , ~ at. This is the first time that mr putin is swearing at. This is the first time that mr putin is swearing his at. This is the first time that mr putin is swearing his allegiance| at. This is the first time that mr. Putin is swearing his allegiance to the constitution and the people of russia. It sounds and looks, i think, quite different in essence to the previous occasions. Although again we see all this glamour, this grandeur, the gold, the soldier and incredibly beautiful uniforms with the high hats, it all looks like putin puts my personal triumph. But this is the first time the president has been elected, if we can call it that, during a
dignity and self-governance. you have to allow humanitarian aid at scale in gaza and you have to have a regional plan for stabilization and security. this would be a big change. as you just said, joe, it has been netanyahu s practice for a decade to divide the palestinians and say there is no path toward a two state solution. he could make history by embracing the possibility of peace with the palestinians and and and to the arab israeli conflict and that would require a basic change in where he heads. in my view, if that is not something he is willing to embrace, my hope is that the israeli selector will choose a leader that sees that is possible. that is very hard in this moment. just after such a horrifying attack october 7th. what happened last week and was the iranians launched 300 drones and missiles in israel and they got to see what the security alignment with jordan, the saudis, the brits, the branch and the united states
that could have implications as well. president biden has tried to build this security alignment around iran and the threat of getting nuclear weapons. saudi s position sit wants that deterrence in what iran wants in terms of nuclear weapons and the threats. in yemen here a few months ago, iran backed houthi rebels. there s a reality for the saudis. when he meets with the other leaders like he met already with the prime minister of iraq, the message there was, you know, he doesn t want to get into a security alliance that could threaten iran. his meeting with mohammed bin laden, it s the same there. it s a range of views. we all know how hard it is to get consensus in the middle
saudi arabia, then to israel, then to the vatican. what s interesting about the situation in the middle east, you actually have a strategic alignment. the studies, the egyptians, and the israelis, they all see the twin existential threats from iran and from the islamic state. they are in alignment about that and there also on good terms of the new american administration. that creates possibilities never existed before. everything releases complicated, but at the moment, there is a reason to go and have this new security alignment that tried to isolate iran and stems the islamic state tide and that s what the president presumably is going to go do. jon: will be watching closely when president trump makes those first overseas trips. thank you. jenna: this fox news alert. we have the election results with a liberal candidate, moon
