DA Nathan Hawkman 57 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.479 says the brothers haven't accepted full responsibility for their actions. 58 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.199 Their legal team says they've been modeled prisoners for more 59 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.199 than three decades and deserved to get out.

The letters is more than eighty countries currently 85 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.439 offer tax incentives, and as a result, a bunch of 86 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.000 productions that could have been shot in the US have 87 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:37.600 been located in other areas. It says returning more production 88 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:42.240 to the United States will require a national approach. Let's 89 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.720 say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers, the World Traveler. 90 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.839 Greetings to you in Saudi Arabia. 91 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.720 Greetings back to you.

Just a quick question. 100 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:22.720 Does the press pool travel with him to all the 101 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.680 different places that he goes? We do? 102 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:27.959 You know, there's a group, of course that's on Air 103 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.480 Force one. This small group or the pool that travels 104 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.279 with the president. Y' all can't fit on the plane 105 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:34.519 with him, so we all travel ahead of him and 106 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:36.920 then have to try to bounce around to catch up 107 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.199 get ahead of him because of all these stops we're 108 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:41.439 going to be making over the next three days. So 109 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.519 we travel tomorrow so that he to Gohawk Hutter and 110 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.240 then to the UAE Abu Dabi on Thursday and Friday 111 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.560 for the final stop before the President heads back to 112 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:51.759 DC Friday morning. 113 00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.040 Okay, so what's on the agenda for today? 114 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.759 Yeah, Today, the President had a very lavish welcome ceremony 115 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.600 by the Saudi Air Force One, escorted into the landing 116 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.319 at the airport by Saudi military fighter jets. There's a 117 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.480 twenty one gun salute as he walked down the steps 118 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.120 of Air Force one to the tarmac. And he's done 119 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.279 some ceremonial greetings already today, but also a lunch of 120 00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.040 business leaders from the region, some Americans there as well, 121 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.959 And this is all about the economics, ties and cooperation 122 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.079 the President's emphasizing on this visit. There are obviously significant 123 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.199 political and security challenges here in the Middle East, but 124 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.879 for the President, the big focus on his agenda is 125 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.720 business development and trade agreements. He's already met with Saudi 126 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.560 Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salman one on one and talked 127 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.839 about how said he's has said that they will invest 128 00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:40.160 six terns of billion dollars in the United States over 129 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.720 the next four years. The President once again has told 130 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.399 him he wants to see that number at a trillion dollars. 131 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.480 This is again the emphasis of the President is trying 132 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.959 to say the US is open for business, we want 133 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.399 you investing money in this country, and he will be 134 00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:56.959 giving remarks on that in about two hours or so, 135 00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.879 trying to talk about the significant ties he'd like to 136 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.199 between the US and countries in this area. 137 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.360 Okay, and Karen, you mentioned that they they've already announced 138 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.240 that they're going to do some investments in the US. 139 00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.639 Did they say any kind of like what kinds of 140 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.240 investments or was it just abroad. 141 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.120 Yeah, it's a good question. You know, this came up 142 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.000 right after the President took office. The Saudi Crime Prince 143 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.360 is one of his first phone calls after taking office, 144 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.759 and they were very quick to say we're investing money 145 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.480 six hundred billion dollars. The UAE's is one point four 146 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.600 trillion over the next decade. But it's not cool what 147 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:28.040 that's going to look like. So we'll see if we 148 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.800 get details on this visit, if there's any more solid 149 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.519 information about how they're going to invest that what the 150 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.480 timeline is, because you know, a lot of promises can 151 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.639 be made. President likes a hue of it, so it's 152 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.360 music to his ears hearing these types of numbers thrown around. 153 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.959 But again it's the details that need to be explained 154 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:46.680 of what type of investment they'll be doing. 155 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:50.480 Yeah, and I was watching as I was getting ready 156 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:52.480 for work. I was watching because they were doing that 157 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.560 what you were talking about, the kind of the meet 158 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.480 and greet with everybody, And I was astounded by the 159 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.920 number of people that both President Trump and the Crown 160 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.560 Prince were shaking hands with. I mean, it was like 161 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:05.079 hundreds of people. 162 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:10.319 It seemed like, yes, three hundred business leaders, executives. You know, 163 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:12.079 we don't have a fullest of who is there, but 164 00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.360 quite an event. It took a long time for them 165 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:16.600 to go through, like a receiving line of courts. The 166 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.079 president then we was supposed to have lunch. Not sure 167 00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:20.639 how much he actually sat down in eight or if 168 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.480 it was a lot of just chip chatting and meeting 169 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.120 and greeting, and then now is sitting down one on 170 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:26.360 one to shouty crown print. 171 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:28.319 Okay, so that's today, and then where did you say 172 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:29.160 you're headed tomorrow? 173 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:35.759 Doha? Cutter tomorrow President as well, and then Abby jabby Thursday. 174 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:37.960 He'll have some events and as well on Friday morning 175 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:39.720 before heading back to the US. 176 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.679 Okay, and you mentioned Cutter. Is they going to formally 177 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:45.960 present that plane that discussing? 178 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:49.360 It doesn't sound like it, but it certainly will be 179 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.240 a topic of conversation and something the President will continue 180 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.600 to get asked about. Even the timing of that story 181 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:57.440 the ABC News broke over the weekend and then him 182 00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:00.120 making the visit there tomorrow, but he's not bringing the 183 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:01.080 plane dock with them. 184 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:04.000 All right, it's not maybe not a done deal just yet. 185 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.039 All right, ABC's Karen Travers, Safe travels, and we will 186 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.039 look talk, look forward to talking to you again soon. 187 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.000 All right.

I was so mixed up because you're we 191 00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:26.200 were eight hours ahead in London and then nine hours 192 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:29.200 ahead in Paris, and then we got back at five o'clock, 193 00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.639 which was really three o'clock in the morning if we 194 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:36.720 were still in Paris. It's uh, it was interesting. And 195 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:39.320 yesterday is interesting because you end up being so jet 196 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:42.039 lagged from all of this and you're like sitting there, going, 197 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.679 I feel great, and two seconds later you're you feel 198 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.000 like you have narcolopsi because you just got asleep, but 199 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:49.679 better today.

Our editor Carla had one. 263 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.519 The car was made in Yugosavia. It was considered one 264 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.399 of the worst cars ever due to its poor quality, 265 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.039 low reliability, apparently it broke down a lot, and questionable 266 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.480 safety standards.

I know, I got the root, I got 278 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.039 the alert. The warning was only supposed to go out 279 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:09.360 to people living near a fire in Woodland Hills in January, 280 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.159 but it was sent out to nearly everyone with a 281 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:15.080 smartphone in La County instead. Homeland Securities ordered California to 282 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.960 turn over information about a federal money that may have 283 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:21.600 gone to illegal immigrants. The money comes from a program 284 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.480 that helps older, blind, or disabled people who are not 285 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:27.960 US citizens.

China says it's going to cut its rate 290 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.200 on US imports to ten percent. Port officials called it 291 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:44.519 a positive step, but are warning uncertainty still hangs over trade, 292 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:50.360 jobs and consumer options. At six oh five, it's handle 293 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:55.080 on the news. The last remaining American held hostage by 294 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:58.639 Hamas has been released and has reunited with his family. 295 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.960 Bill's going to be talking about that right now. Ah. 296 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:11.720 I did not hear Loveyon Rose once while I was 297 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:15.440 in Paris, not once. So first I want to say 298 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:19.840 thanks to Heather Brooker, who filled in did an amazing 299 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:22.399 job while I was gone. I always left to have 300 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.000 Heather filling in. So this was my first trip to 301 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:29.879 Paris ever, and it's the first trip that I had 302 00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:31.440 taken a real one. I mean I've gone up to 303 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:33.000 see my mom and gone to Vegas and that kind 304 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:36.000 of stuff, but my first real trip since before the pandemic. 305 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:39.840 I mean it's been like six years and then anyway, 306 00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:42.759 so we saved up for a very long time and 307 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:45.279 my best friend Amy and I went and had an 308 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.440 amazing time. So we spent like five days in Paris 309 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.159 and then three and a half days in London, and 310 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:55.320 I was really looking forward to Paris and not as 311 00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:58.080 much London for some reason. But I will tell you 312 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.639 London was fabulous. It was just so like picturesque, and 313 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:04.759 we just happened to be there, both in Paris and 314 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:08.919 in London during the ve celebrations. And it doesn't get 315 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.799 a lot of play here. Yeah, but it's the victory 316 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:15.639 in Europe day huge. The celebrations in England went on 317 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:17.320 for days, so we kind of missed those. We got 318 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:19.720 out there on the tail end of them. But on 319 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:26.080 May seventh they had fireworks in Paris and people riding 320 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.279 down the streets obviously partying very heavily, and just it 321 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:31.480 was so cool. It was such a festive, fun atmosphere. 322 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:33.279 So that was great. So here are a few of 323 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.639 the takeaways the travel. I know a lot of people 324 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:39.960 are hesitant to travel because it's kind of a pain. 325 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:44.559 We had such a great experience, like everything just kind 326 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:48.000 of went with clockwork. I don't think we had any delays. 327 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.600 We got through, you know, getting getting checked in with TSA, 328 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:55.519 We didn't have any problems with customs. Customs was a 329 00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:00.159 breeze in both London and in Paris Easy Easy and 330 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:02.279 the hotels, so I know, that there are a range 331 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.039 of hotels, but my recommendation is going to be that 332 00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:08.400 you splurge a bit on hotels in Paris. We got 333 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:13.039 this room at a Vaud de Sicil, which means King 334 00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:16.680 of Sicily by the way. Fabulous little hotel because we 335 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.000 did tons of research and like looking for the best 336 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:20.920 ones and the best prices, and we went back and 337 00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:22.440 forth and we found this one and it was like 338 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.480 the coolest place ever. So we're up on the fifth floor. 339 00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:26.559 We have a balcony that you have to step out 340 00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:29.039 onto like a window. You don't just walk out, you 341 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.880 have to step up and out onto the balcony and 342 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.039 overlooks this whole street and all the buildings are beautiful 343 00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:36.759 and it was a great place for us to come 344 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:39.160 back to after you're out running around and walking a lot. 345 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:42.960 It was just fabulous. So I would say my recommendation 346 00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:45.920 is invest do a lot of research and invest a 347 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:47.519 little bit more in the hotel because if you're there 348 00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:49.039 for like five days, you're going to spend some time 349 00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:51.119 there too. Because there was one night we went, let's 350 00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:52.480 just go get some food and bring it back to 351 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.039 the room because we were exhausted. We've been walking everywhere. 352 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.640 The metro train system is amazing and it makes me 353 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:05.000 so sad when I think about our metro system. It's 354 00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:08.079 so efficient, and even in French when you can't read anything, 355 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:10.200 we were able to get around, didn't get lost in London. 356 00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:11.920 We got on the wrong train once, but we still 357 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:14.440 got to where we needed to go. And then also 358 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:16.680 also something that makes me a little sad is high 359 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:19.880 speed trains. We took a high speed train from Paris 360 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:23.200 to Bordeaux because it's the wine region, and well wine 361 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.200 for me and my friend Amy, I'll talk, so yeah, 362 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:29.599 And so it took two hours to go I think 363 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.000 six and six hundred miles or something crazy. And it 364 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:35.200 was so fun because you see the countryside and then 365 00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:37.880 I think of our train to nowhere that's coming. That's 366 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:40.599 not going to go from Paris to Bordeaux. It's going 367 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:43.759 to go from Madera to Fresno or something stupid, and 368 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:46.440 I was just like, but I was like, maybe the 369 00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:48.640 people in the US should go talk to the people 370 00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:51.480 overseas because they seem to have it. And then we 371 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:55.000 also took the high speed train from Paris to London. 372 00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:56.960 So we went through the tunnel, you went through the tunnel, 373 00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:59.640 which is not a big deal. It's just a tunnel, 374 00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:01.720 so you don't see anything. Although there was a guy 375 00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:04.799 on the Bordeaux planet or train he goes, oh, you're 376 00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:08.200 going on the chunnel and he said you will get 377 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:10.640 to see the fish and everything as you go by. 378 00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:13.160 And I said, really, it's a glass tunnel and then 379 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:16.000 they laughed at me because no, it's not. It's a tunnel. 380 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:21.519 The cafes were fabulous. We would just like you were walking. 381 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:24.759 They were everywhere. So I love that. Like again, we 382 00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:27.200 see more of those sidewalk cafes kind of here. But 383 00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.480 the difference is in France, you'll go sit down, they'll 384 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:32.920 bring you whatever you want and they never bring your 385 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:35.440 check until you ask for it. They're like, yeah, stay 386 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:37.160 as long as you want, and they don't care. You 387 00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:39.000 can have a glass of wine, you can have a 388 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:41.319 glass of cappuccino, you can have a full meal and 389 00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.000 there's no pressure and you ask for the check, which 390 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:47.200 again is totally different from here, where they just kind 391 00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:48.839 of just feels like they're trying to turn you over 392 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.839 a lot. Yeah, so that was another difference, the walking 393 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:54.720 everybody there was nobody over wait. In France, maybe one 394 00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:58.119 or two people. I mean, it was amazing because everybody's 395 00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:00.880 walking everywhere, and we tracked our steps. We walked like 396 00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:04.200 seventy miles in a period of it. We're like, oh 397 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:07.799 my god, twenty thousand steps today, sixteen thousand steps. I mean, 398 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.000 you do you walk everywhere? Well, it's all that bread 399 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.799 and cheese. You gotta work it off. Well when we did, 400 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:14.920 we did the baguettes and we did the cheese, and 401 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.920
