that supports the murderous assad regime as well compares arrival in riyadh followed a barrage of eight ballistic missiles fired into saudi territory by hooty fighters in yemen the u.s. and saudi arabia say such missiles come from iran who are commanded to cut and we also think that iran should be dealt with by imposing further sanctions for its violations of international laws relating to ballistic missiles. iranian missiles are a chief concern of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu his focus on the risk of their being fired from iranian bases in syria and by hezbollah from lebanon with his talk of a u.s. pullout from the iran deal and new sanctions against tehran pompei as language was almost interchangeable with netanyahu we remain deeply concerned about iran's dangerous escalation of threats to israel in the region and iran's ambition to dominate the middle east the remains of people thought that iran's aggression would be moderated as a result of signing to do the opposite has happened and iran is trying to gobble up one country after the other both men welcome the u.s. emba

riyadh is an international city third of the population comes from abroad many of them manual workers they helped to build the saudi capital but the wall come they once enjoyed starting to think. saudis first know that the saudi government splatted to reduce unemployment among native saudis employers who hire none so days they have to pay higher fees and jobs in shops like this one selling electronics for example would be restricted to saudis only. for a nurse will be banned from at least twelve jobs this music store selling instruments has already put up a sign for saudis only be looking for a salesperson male. how does ation is a good idea but there are more job opportunities here for saudis than for foreigners. and a lot of saudis return from the u.s. and germany with degrees only to find many jobs already filled by foreigners of their own country should benefit from them as saudi arabia should benefit from saudis. we are in a neighborhood in the south pacific it's a tough area most of the people here are four and are. going to hear this from bangladesh derives a month ago to work

well certainly riyadh and other gulf states from the very beginning and turkey wanted the overthrow of saud and that brings me to the point that whether you agree or like the assad government or not it's a fact that they were been on the defensive this is an uprising this was an attempt to overthrow a government so you're on the defensive so to invite iran in and russia to help them defend themselves is a natural act of a government trying to survive this was not iran or russia invading syria the iranians wouldn't come in if there were no attempt to overthrow the government so they they have every right as you pointed out to invite whoever they are any friends they had to help them survive this is not true and any government would do that now the israelis i mean hezbollah by the way i think is defending lebanon even lebanese christians and you know they don't know who would agree with as much as they hate they may hate that well they may not like them but they realize that the libyan army isn't worth joining me so let me jump in here just let me jump in here we're going to go to a shor

getting back to that new cinema in riyadh. we heard rumors that it might actually open with the with the black panther you think that's really going to happen what film would you like to see on the big screen there. yeah it's going to happen i mean it's been publicized a million times over and and eyes they have and i don't doubt it be that they did it but i'm really upset about the local cinema i didn't like because for me going to the u.a.e. here by her and her and i the movie you know i see arab people from my kind of you know neighboring country watching american movies and that's not so such a far fetched idea but for kids you think of people watching an image in local theater how that does a really cool so i'm mixed that i wanted the local cinema ok well we hope to see more of that too fudgy one of saudi arabia's most prominent actors producers and comedians thanks for talking with us thank you. and he was talking to us from vienna there you are watching the years still to come it's for a new british league that's all th

palestinians as far as the palestinians are concerned their stance remains unchanged after the summit in riyadh last year and that's the position whereby the palestinian conflict has to be addressed and solved first before any normalization of relations with israel that remains the case so if he did say it the palestinians don't really want to talk about it it seems good to get your thoughts or herefore to special microphone my friends in ramallah. nigerian president mohammad dubai hari has arrived at the white house for messing with the u.s. president on trump security corruption and china's financial presence in africa are all expected to be on the agenda but hari who we seeking reelection next year is the first sub-saharan african beat it to meet strummed alan fischer is live for us at the white house is standing by for a joint press conference alex the president's merican president has made some very disparaging comments about nigerians are indeed african nations how much do you think that is going to upset the tone of his discussions between the two leaders. i think we'll probably move on

a saudi arabian security forces say they shot down a toy drone near a royal palace in the capital riyadh. video posted online appears to capture the sound of gunfire in the area officials say king salmen was out of town of the time of the incident and an investigation is underway yemen's hooty rebels have previously tried to fly bomb carrying drones into saudi arabia. our western powers a welcome north korea's announcement it will suspend nuclear and missile tests u.s. president donald trump called a very good news while european leaders say it is a positive first step but japan says it must lead to concrete action cathy you know that reports from seoul. north korea regularly tested increasingly threatening ballistic missiles last year including weapons that could have the range to hit the united states in september it conducted its most powerful nuclear bomb test now north korea says those tests are over so it should chip we will discontinue nuclear testing an intercontinental ballistic rocket test firing from april twenty fifth. the north a nuclear test ground at the d.p. r. k. will al

mean that is that is sort of the latest talk of town my sense is that this new reparation mom between riyadh and jerusalem is very much interest driven so we have the goal of trying to curb iran's influence in the region and that is very much where israeli and saudi interests align so very much you know according to the motto the enemy of my enemy is my friend that is that is exactly what it's all about and you know we'll have to see to what extent that new alignment will really hold because you know one arab politician once told me and he happened to be saudi that there is one word in the d.n.a. of every arab and that is palestine zero i think the question of palestine especially when it comes to the so-called arab street public opinion in the arab countries is still a very pertinent want a very emotional one and still one with which you can mobilize the masses and masses to demonstrate you can also mobilize a lot of violence which you have begged the question what are the chances of us ever seeing a reconciliation between the palestinians and the israelis. look. you know my sense is that i

capable missiles they started with a thousand kilometers and up to two thousand roughly they can reach riyadh tel aviv moscow but they're working on far far greater ranges they're planning much longer range missiles to carry nuclear weapons so these files. conclusively prove that iran is brazenly lying when it says it never had a nuclear weapons program the files prove that. but here's what happened next. iran was faced with mounting pressure in two thousand and three you remember that that was following the gulf war so it was forced to shell project a mud. but it didn't show its nuclear ambitions so iran devised a plan to do two things first to preserve the nuclear know how from project. and second to further develop its nuclear weapons related capabilities that plan came directly from iran stop leadership is another document from the archives this is following the new directive of iran's ministry of defense minister. today's the director of the national security council following the new directive of iran's ministry of defense the work would be split into two parts covert and overt. a key p

it's funny really you know there was no this was this was no press conference in riyadh until of eve they made statements and left the stage with netanyahu and with either disappeared in saudi arabia the only place where they got a couple of questions was in jordan and of course you were expected then to be asked about the palestinians from players and said was so brief and so are all good and so insensitive so indifferent so and diplomatic so as when the same day the washington post would report that israel has all in all of us far injured more than two thousand two hundred palestinians and killed dozens killed by the syrians who are not fighting who are not shooting or only demonstrating peacefully within their own territories so really this was a major shock for those who would listen but again for those who actually know the administration a bit more realize that they have embraced totally and utterly the netanyahu approach to the middle east without which says ignore the palestinians and focus on iran also completely out of touch might have on with the international condemnation

iran's behavior that they were so disappointed that is very much the same language that was using in riyadh just a few hours earlier so that the language between the two it ministrations almost at the changeable benjamin netanyahu has long been arguing for this kind of policy from united states it looks like he's about to get what he wants. well christensen in the joins me now live from washington d.c. a force of just mentioned the national security adviser comments kirsten what what else are the trumper ministration been saying about the iran do you. well we're hearing the same lines over and over again john bolton reiterated the administration's position that the deal has to be fixed or scrapped but also that they're still open to that possibility they say that no decision has been made yet if it could be strengthened perhaps based on the proposals of french president emanuel mccrone. that there might be a way to keep things going so they're holding out a little bit of hope here in washington for people who want to preserve the nuclear deal but you have to remember that mike pompei o got
