Biden seeks war aid for Israel and Ukraine from Congress – BBC News
Is Washington leaving Saudi Arabia to fend for itself?
Last week, Houthi rebels launched a series of missile strikes on Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital. Surveillance footage showed a fireball erupting as airport passengers ran for cover. At least fourteen people have been killed and hundreds were injured.
The attack is the latest escalation in a decade-long war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in neighbouring Yemen. The Saudis have long relied on financial, military and intelligence support from the United States, particularly in their fight against the Houthis. But Washington so far has shown little appetite for direct involvement in the fighting.
So why is the United States holding back? And what does that mean for the people caught in the middle?
The BBC’s chief international investigations correspondent, Nawal Al-Maghafi, recently reported from inside Yemen and joins The Global Story’s Asma Khalid to discuss why this conflict is escalating and what might happen next.

A Kenyan judge has started to deliver a verdict in a mass murder case involving doomsday preacher Paul Mackenzie.
Mackenzie and 29 of his followers are being charged with the murder of 191 people, all but one of them children.
His cult is alleged to have forced children to starve to death so that they could “meet Jesus”.
Mackenzie and the 29 others have all pleaded not guilty to murder, repeatedly insisting that nobody was forced to die.

America’s pain at the pump could have major implications for the future of the war in Ukraine.
US President Donald Trump wants to bring down fuel prices for Americans. One way he’s trying to do it is by reopening the door to Russian energy, reversing a policy designed to deprive Russian President Vladimir Putin of money for his war in Ukraine.
The shift comes as relations between Trump and Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky have deteriorated dramatically. Trump has blamed Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries for contributing to the global diesel shortage, while Ukraine says those refineries are a crucial source of revenue for Russia’s war machine.
So, is American angst about fuel prices changing Trump’s approach to the war? And would importing Russian diesel even make a meaningful difference to US prices?
The Global Story’s Tristan Redman speaks to BBC Verify’s Ben Chu about the fuel crisis drawing together Trump, Putin, Zelensky and the American midterm elections.

Yemen’s Houthis have warned aviation firms and passengers against using Saudi airports and airspace, after 12 people were killed in an attack on the international airport in Riyadh.
More than 300 were injured in Saturday’s attack on King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia.
The Houthi statement on Sunday did not directly refer to Saturday’s attack, but previously did say they were behind separate strikes on the same airport on Thursday.
Four Saudis, two people from Bangladesh and one person each from the US, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan and Egypt were killed, the Saudi civil aviation authority said.

Biden is lying: he was a direct witness of Israel's actions as an occupying force in 2012 and 2014 when he was vice president and in 2021 and 2023 as president of the USA. He did nothing to definitively solve the problem, nor to reduce the number of unarmed victims: children, women, the elderly. In fact, I am sick when in the year 2023 we are talking about colonization and apartheid and the US government is on the other side.

Did you know that ISRAEL is the Remaking and Repairing Center of you the Jews in Palestine and Jerusalem is the city of the dead? For the “Israeli” people, the furnace of “shame” and punishment is always burning there. Did you know that some people still live there in the caves and are actually pitecanthropes? Still, it is dangerous to go to a country where churches offer human flesh. Russian was spoken in Germany until 1900, and before Koblenz there was Russia. Since the Jews had problems with the Russian language, they asked me to teach them German. I heard this language on planet Saturn, which was almost destroyed by the Jews at that time. Therefore, there are no native Germans in Germany: these are Jews and Judaism.
The word Holocaust means that a Jew plunders people to the bone.
Now there is Jewish War and Jewish Refolution in Ukraine. In wartime 2022-2023, uneducated and drug addicted Jews from Germany, Israel, USA, England came to Kiev as “asylum seekers”, stole a lot of housing from people who worked for reforms, in the interest of a free society with democratic foundations and reforms in the judiciary and the rule of law and at this time there is no work in Ukraine and illegal employment is offered for a 12-hour working day. For refugee “asylum seekers”, special prices in shops, higher and undeserved pensions, social benefits. My home was robbed and mutilated and there were no measures to protect human rights and property for seven months. War refugees from the Donetsk region were shot dead by Zelensky right in front of his office instead of providing aid and were described as homeless. The war in Ukraine was an agreement between Jews (German, Ukrainian, Russian – SS (Saturn Slaves) to kill the last Slavic-Slavici. According to knowledge in a short time, in the camp in Mariupol 1.5 million women and children were cruelly killed. In the camp in Volnovacha 1 million civilians, 1 million women and children in the death camp in Glevacha, 5 million women and children in the camp next to Kievo-Pecherska Lavra and 10 million in Khimki near Moscow were cruelly killed for “meat ", "bones" and organs for transplantologists.
It's funny to hear in the news about a country (Germany) that "helps", for example refugees, and "takes care" of world human rights. The first time I traveled to Germany was in 2001 to work as a research assistant in at the University Hospital of Cologne (but I had to work all day). I worked in Germany for almost 20 years, most of them at the university or university hospitals, after quitting from the University Hospital of Bonn I had the right to my unemployment benefit, which I didn't I have also experienced private violence from my German husband, who lives in Nidderau. He called the police three times to expel me in the war zone. It's an honor after 11 years. He is neither legally obliged nor to support the woman without work for three years. Nor, just as superiors think that they have the right to my account and my assets. Now my daughter has already taught at the University of Frankfurt as a professor, computer scientist and research assistant, but the monthly salary is only half the job. She has the data, which is already enough for several doctoral students, unfortunately like me, who has difficulties getting a doctorate. The wheel of history has already been launched and millions of fighters against the black forces of Satan, who died on the side of truth and good, fortunately flew away as White Cranes in January this year (there are witnesses). In the future (in ten years), people will live on planet Earth after the FLOOD, on planet Saturn – Rusichs and Slavichs, on planet Uranus – Celts, on planet Pluto – Franks, on planet Neptune – Sinti and Roma . The soul of Count Volkonsky and perhaps the other souls are thrown into the water and find their place. All other "inhabitants" of planet Earth will be turned into "Cosmic Dust" with a record of the suffering they have caused – there will be no more "agreement" there.

Now this geriatric fraudster has taken the world to the brink of armageddon by his weakness incompetence and trying to cover his family's crimes in Ukraine. When will the BBC apologise for their disgusting comments at Donald Trump's inauguration, when Katty Kay said: "Donald J Trump now has the nuclear launch codes!" Such shameless bias utterly disreputable reporting. Look what Donald Trump achieved despite every media being against him. Compare this to the damage Bido has wrought in 3 years.

The Russia-Ukraine war was actually started by the United States. It was the United States that lured Ukraine to join NATO and made Ukraine believe that it could become a member of the West. Ukraine’s failure to join NATO was Russia’s national security bottom line (just like the United States’ treatment of the Soviet Union’s Cuban Missile Crisis) ), Putin’s attack on Ukraine only put Ukraine in a state of war, unable to join NATO, and it was self-defense. Putin was not stupid enough to really want to occupy a place like Ukraine. That’s why the Russia-Ukraine war lasted so long because Russia didn’t really want to occupy it. Ukraine just wants to hold it back from joining NATO.
Because as long as there is a war anywhere in the world, the arms dealers and capitalists behind the US presidents can make a lot of money, and the presidents can be re-elected. The US president actually works with them, so the most "competent" US president In fact, he is the US president who has launched the most wars during his term.
To put it bluntly, the United States is the largest terrorist organization and underworld in the world today, followed by the CCP and Russia, and then Britain and France. The five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council are the five largest underworld organizations in the world today. There is no concept of "rights" in international relations, only the concept of "power", "might made right". The five permanent members are the five most powerful countries in the world with nuclear power and comprehensive national power, so they can do whatever they want. Yes, the Five Permanent Members came before the United Nations. The balance between the Five Permanent Members is the cornerstone for the peaceful development of human society. The Five Permanent Members are the rules themselves. If it were not for the Five Permanent Members, we humans all over the world would now speak either German or Japanese.

February 2023 USA introduced a new 'Conventional Arms Transfer policy'. Josh Paul, former Director at U.S. Department of State described it as setting the "More likely than not standard… that arms that are being provided or being proposed to be provided, are going to be used to commit human rights violations then they will not be authorised" He resigned atleast partially based on the current US pledged arms transfers to Israel as they will lead to further substantial civilian fatalities, to commit human rights violations. Which is against the current US arms policy.
