( ticking ) >> take a look around. odds are, you're surrounded by plastic. that water bottle we use once and throw away will be with us for generations. >> by 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. >> there are campaigns to limit this plastic plague, with bans on bags and straws, and yet around the world, it continues to pile up, seeping into our rivers and streams, and turning our oceans into a vast garbage dump. but one mop-haired young dutchman has come up with a plan which he says will save our seas. hi, boyan! >> hi. >> his name is boyan slat. he has no formal training, and his much-hyped, multi-million- dollar device has made him something of a sensation. we decided to see what all the fuss is about.

and then, of course, came the murder of jamal khashoggi. now, in the whole history of this relationship, there has never been a time when the strategic planning or the relationship in any sense was put in jeopardy or threatened by human rights issues of any kind or the fate of any individual. every year the state department excoriates saudi arabia in its annual report on human rights around the world and it never makes any difference in terms of policy. even jimmy carter, who made human rights the foundation of his foreign policy, went to saudi arabia and was deferential to the point of obsequious because he wanted something from them. they didn't deliver, mainly the endorsement of sadat's initiative, but that's how it's always been, one side wants something from the other. so now the question is, what happens if donald trump is not re-elected? i can imagine, let's say joe biden or amy klobuchar, who are pragmatists and centrists, holding their noses and continuing to do security business with saudi arabia. but it's hard to imagine elizabet

since jamal khashoggi was butchered on orders from the highest levels of the saudi government. mister chairman, my colleagues, the secretary of state's message to us is clear. congress and review arms sales, just don't take too long or ask questions, otherwise i'll just ignore the law and put you out ofthe process entirely . three weeks ago in a bipartisan fashion, thesenate made clear what it thought of the secretary of state . emergency sales by approving an unprecedented 22 resolutions of disapproval of these sales. two weeks ago thiscommittee approved our bipartisan bill , the saudi arabia emergency are safe to prevent similar abuses of the emergency authority in the future. i hope the secretary of the administration appreciate the gravity of these actions and those to come. informal arms sale review process under the arms export control act has operated successfully fordecades . it works because successive administrations recognize that there is a health and consulting with the committee about any concerns that arise from the sale and they acted in good faith . simply put

after jamal khashoggi was literally butchered on orders from the highest level of the saudi government. so mister chairman, my colleagues, secretary of state's message to us is clear. congress can review arms sales just don't take too long or ask tough questions, otherwise i will just ignore the law and cut you out of the process entirely. 3 weeks ago in bipartisan fashion the senate made clear what it thought of the secretary of state's fault emergency sales by approving unprecedented 22 separate resolutions of disapproval of these sales was this committee approved bipartisan bill to saudi arabia to prevent similar abuses of the american system in the future. i hope the secretary of the administration appreciate the gravity of these actions and those to come. the arms sale review process under the arms export control act has operated successfully, it worked because successive administrations recognized the value in consulting with committees about any concerns, they acted in good faith. simply put, mister cooper, you and the secretary have undermined this process. i urge you to take a

i think that's what we're seeing here and you mentioned the case of jamal khashoggi he was killed in the saudi consulate in any stumble by saudi agents since that happened and the outcry that followed it has there been any shift in terms of improving human rights and absolutely not i think one of the one of the things that we're also seeing now is more and more women fleeing saudi arabia because of the draconian guardianship laws and various other group represents a number of saudi women who have sought to flee from saudi arabia and you are asked these women has the situation changed since this this great announcement of reform with women being able to drive and even being allowed to go to the cinema those changes have had no significant impact and even what we're seeing now is that the guardianship rules are supposed to be relaxed all removed within 3 months is that going to have any impact on women's lives in saudi arabia generally know that most women consider it will not because of the the cultural problems that are faced with women and even men who are trying to exercise fundame

i would have thought with the murder of the washington post columnist jamal khashoggi and other issues the saudi arabian has pursued, you would have seen this inflection point and this shift. we have not seen it. we are starting to see a shift in public opinion about whether or not it makes sense to willingly go with the crown prince. we have not seen that same shifts happen in the white house. i mentioned this earlier, but you did see a really consequential vote in which a majority oftisan senators and members of congress voted to restrict u.s. arms to saudi arabia over human rights concerns. despite the bipartisan nature of the vote, the senate did not have enough support to override the veto. i think the fact that you are now seeing the senate in this bipartisan coalition forming in to be more forthright with saudi arabia about human rights is an important inflection point itself. host: we will have to and it there. mark leon goldberg is the host of global dispatches podcast. appreciate your time this morning. >> thank you. journalr: washington mugs are available at c-span's new onl

the man behind the vicious murder of "washington post" journalist jamal khashoggi. and trying to bring him back into the g 7. president description of the those discussions is surprise, not entirely truthful. it's a stretch to say that numerous leader agree with him. in fact the president was out numbered. and he knew it. officials saying he would have pushed for a vote on russia by current members if he thought he could win. interesting that wub leader who did agree with the president was the out going italy prime minister. who not at all the president praised in a tweet of course. saying he works well with the u.s. seems he works well with the president anyway. but there's more. you would think of all people the president of the united states would be on the side of the democracy. no matter what. that was apparently not the case at the g 7. "washington post" reporting the leaders heated conversation turned to what should be a pretty basic question, should the assemble world leaders give any special weight to being a democracy? okay. of course. they should. right?

but anger over the murder of the journal lie detector test jamal khashoggi has led to scrutiny in the u.n. has said may involve war crimes. trump vetoed those attempts by congress to intervene, but as steven cook points out, the uae wants to maintain its alliance with the u.s. in the long term, and trump will not be the president forever. the emirates made a decision. get out of an unwinnable war before key elites in washington sour on them. what will be the effect of this? well, saudi arabia could take this opportunity to negotiate a peace deal with the houthis and get out of a war they are woefully unequipped to win. unfortunately, that probably won't happen. a major source of pressure was the prospects of forces squeezing the supply lines where much of the last year's fighting took place before the un negotiated a shaky ceasefire. they supply most of the country's food and aid is a source of tax value for the houthi rebels. as michael knight with the washington institute points out, with the emirates leaving, the threat is vastly diminished and so is the pressure on the rebels to s

khashoggi the leader says i want to do that crazy thing you're suggesting but the american president broke my arm. we're not playing that role. >> you wrote in your column last week, this was before the president made these comments about disloyalty. you said if you're an american jew and planning on voting for donald trump because you think he's proisrael, you're a damn fool. can you explain what you mean there? >> sure. >> you wrote a column how basically there is no peace plan, jared kushner said he's the one that would be doing this, we've seen nothing of it and none of the other players are truly coming up with anything, either. >> look, if you're an american jew of my generation, what is it you want to see? you want to see an israel that is jewish, that has a jewish majority and is democratic and located in the historic homeland. the fact is, though, you can only get two out of three. israel can be jewish and democratic but can't be in the west bank. it can't be in its full biblical historic homeland. it can be democratic and in the west bank but then it won't be jewish because

khashoggi. and now he's trying to reward vladimir putin by bringing him back into the g7. by the way, the president's description of those discussions at g7 is, surprise, not entirely truthful. it's a stretch to say that numerous leaders agreed with him. in fact, the president was outnumbered. and he knew it. one official saying that he would have pushed for a vote on russia by current members if he thought he could win. though it's interesting that one leader who did agree with the president was the outgoing italian prime minister giuseppe conte, who not at all coincidentally the president praised in a tweeted of course, saying he works well with the usa. seems he works well with the president anyway. but there's more. you would think of all people the president of the united states would be on the side of the democracy no matter what. well, that was apparently not the case at the g7.

positioned himself in similarly benign fashion against saudi arabia after the killing of columnist jamal khashoggi and detention of women's rights activists and against russia for continued detention of ukrainian ships and sailors. i guess the question is why are we seeing his america first tendencies, sympathy for strong men, something else, what do you see here? >> both of those for sure, and i think the third reason is his own reluctance to really do the things that other presidents have done reflexively as the leader of the free world. that facilities with the america first, his america first view that the united states has been misused as the world's policeman, that other countries rely too much on american leadership and american money, and he kind of gets all of those things mixed up in his head, and it comes out as a reluctance to really go very hard and forward leaning on matters that really, in this case, don't actually involve u.s. money or troops or anything else. no one is suggesting that he should be sending the u.s. navy in to free hong kong, but lots of people, including
