Senate republican firewall protecting President Trump there is a visible crack my relationship with saudi arabia is forever changed and it will not go back to the way it used to be with key support from Lindsey Graham and a handful of other republicans the senate voted to block the president from selling billions of dollars in u. S. Arms to saudi arabia you cannot have a strategic relationship the United States. And behave. In a fashion that shows no respect for Human Dignity no respect for international norms. President trump is certain to veto the measure and its not likely opponents will muster the 2 thirds majorities they need in both the house and the senate to override a veto but with the u. S. Facing a potential military conflict with iran the Senate Republican leader says it is no time to abandon a key regional ally so the question the senate will soon consider is really those whether will lash out at an imperfect partner and undercut our own efforts to build cooperation shock around and achieve other important goals or whether well keep our imperfect part of clothes and use our influence are there any for a majority of senators the answer was to punish the Worlds Largest arms importer in the resolution is passed it was a protest over saudi agents killing of german an american resident in journalist for the Washington Post always so blind to the malign influence of saudi arabia that we just give money and weapons to anybody regardless of what they do you can chop up a dissident you can cut a dissident into pieces without bone saw and will still give you weapons it was also a protest over the killing of civilians by the saudi immorality Led Military Coalition using american weapons in the war in yemen ideas are bombs that are dropping on those civilians.

Another day of protests is underway in hong kong with hundreds staging a sit in around government buildings to continue the fight against a suspended extradition bill the government headquarters has been closed as crowds gathered there calling for the resignation of hong kongs leader many have dressed in black to honor protester who died after falling from a scaffold on saturday mass demonstrations have been held over the past fortnight against a bill which would allow criminal suspects to be sent to Mainland China for a trial robin wright is joining us from hong kong were looking at the life picture of protesters out in front of the government building rob tell us what youre seeing. Thats right there in the crowd here is probably several 1000 people now as you mentioned that the idea was that this demonstration being called by student groups and also social online groups was meant to bring the government to a standstill completely surround these Central Government offices in the Legislative Council in a way thats been prevented by the government by bringing it self to a standstill they basically have given their workers the day off today also suspended the workings of the Legislative Council here so that has probably reduced the numbers of students turning out its very good natured the organizers are still have to be careful because of course if this demonstration does lead to roads being blocked then they could make themselves liable to prosecution so theyve been finding all sorts of in. Ingenious creative ways euphemisms if you like of calling people out to demonstrate what we were attending this morning this friday morning here is an all Day Breakfast across in the park other protesters have been calling people to come out for a picnic and this friday evening in hong kong yet another group is calling for people to come out for what they are terming an annual dinner always of making their voices heard having a protest without being prosecuted very how much momentum would you say this this protest Movement Still has rob. Its difficult to say you do get a sense during that at the moment we are reaching some kind of hiatus interestingly the organizers have not called for another mass rally part of the problem is of course that how do you beat 2000000 people if you do call another mass rally and you get a 1000000 or a 1000000 and a half people coming out thats still a vast number but it would be considered something of an anticlimax so the problem is trying to work out just where you go from here the organizers are calling for big numbers again on july 1st that is the Public Holiday in hong kong it is also that commemorates the handing back of hong kong to chinese rule and it is traditionally a day of protest but between now and then its difficult to see exactly what the organizers will do they have organized events like this other groups are calling for awareness campaigns and so on but part of the problem for the protesters is that the reason of their protest the cools that has got people out onto the streets in such numbers has somewhat been diffused by the government itself of course by suspending this extradition bill for the moment at least the government has backed off and stop trying to push this controversial legislation through the Legislative Council here during. Thank you. North koreas leader says hes waiting for a positive move from the u. S. To get stalled clear talks back on track comments reported by the Chinese State media were made as kim jong un chinas president xi jinping to pyongyang for a state visit reports. Its a visit its been a Long Time Coming but was only confirmed on monday the welcoming ceremony for president xi jinping and 1st lady punk came with military honors and seamless pageantry Chinese State media said peon yang was awash with exuberance. A reception that possibly exceeded anything she could even expect in his own country. The last time a chinese head of state was here was 14 years ago a reflection of a relationship that in recent years has often been strained mainly over north Koreas Nuclear bomb and missile development. So i think this is about repairing the relationship between pyongyang in beijing which has been very rocky area since. Korea. And the 1st wave having its about that in the shorter term about. North korea and china getting on the same page. With the u. S. Which have installed president she said the International Community wants those negotiations to succeed and china is willing to help during the past 15 months hes met kim 4 times in china but this was their 1st encounter since kim met u. S. President donald trump in hanoi 4 months ago which ended without any agreement on north Korean Nuclear disarmament officially president xi is in pyongyang because its 70 years since china and north korea established diplomatic relations but the visits also happening just days before hes due to meet the u. S. President donald trump who so far been unable to persuade kim to give up his Nuclear Arsenal but a former Senior North Korean diplomat believes kim is using she as a messenger to pass on a new offer to try the could end the impasse they want to use the presidencies in as a kind of maybe in g 20 brzezinskis in ping use coming to our joe pan next week and president season playing may deliver this new offer directly to President Trump so now its up to President Trump were there she would accept this new proposal or not so shes visit to pyongyang appears timely what happens here could well determine the outcome of his planned meetings with President Trump next weekend adrian brown aljazeera asia.
