[00:00:39] The latest poll shows that half of the interviewed Americans believe that the Middle East will fall into greater chaos five months after
[00:00:43] the conflict. The Strait of Hormuz shipping is blocked, and Middle Eastern countries
[00:00:47] are looking for new oil transportation channels. Our reporter's exclusive
[00:00:51] observation of Iraq's oil alternative channel is currently how it's
[00:00:55] operating. US political discussions on whether to abolish the
[00:00:59] long debate rule. Real-time observation of how the long
[00:01:03] exporting quantities of debate rule has become a tool for two-party gains.
[00:01:07] because disposing of Foreign media revealed that after the US and Japan intervened in the exchange rate, the
[00:01:10] yen first appreciated and then depreciated, falling by nearly half
[00:01:14] of its increase. Europe's continuous high temperatures
[00:01:17] and drought have impacted many areas such as agriculture and
[00:01:21] shipping.

[00:01:27] International. Good evening, everyone, and welcome to today's
[00:01:33] International News. Let's first focus on the situation.
[00:01:36] According to a Reuters report on the 6th, a senior Iranian official said that Iran recently engaged in
[00:01:40] secret diplomatic contacts with Gulf countries, and warned that if these countries
[00:01:44] cannot persuade Trump to stop military actions against
[00:01:48] Iran and instead resolve the conflict through negotiations, Iran
[00:01:52] will strike the critical infrastructure such as oil,
[00:01:56] electricity, and water supply of relevant countries.
[00:02:00] It is reported that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
[00:02:03] called Trump on August 1st and asked the US not to
[00:02:07] take action. Subsequently, Trump posted on social media that he had agreed
[00:02:11] to cancel the strike
[00:02:13] on Iran.
[00:02:15] According to a Reuters report on the 6th, the senior official said that after US
[00:02:19] President Trump previously threatened to strike Iran's nuclear network and
[00:02:23] infrastructure, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi communicated with officials
[00:02:27] from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other countries, urging them to
[00:02:46] Iranian media reported on the 7th that pictures of the wreckage of US and Israeli
[00:02:50] drones and fighter jets were released. It is reported that these drones and
[00:02:53] fighter jets were intercepted by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps'
[00:02:57] new defense system. Iran's Tasnim News
[00:03:44] Agency. Approximately half of the surveyed Americans believe that the Middle East will fall into greater chaos. We see that the survey shows that 50%
[00:03:48] of respondents believe that US military action against Iran will in the
[00:03:52] next year weaken the stability of the Middle East. This
[00:03:56] proportion is about three times that of respondents who believe
[00:04:00] that the war will increase regional stability. Reuters also stated that only
[00:04:03] 35% of Americans support the war against Iran.
[00:04:07] Justin Logan, director of defense and foreign policy studies at the US
[00:04:11] think tank Cato Institute, said that this war has been unpopular from
[00:04:15] the beginning, and is now even more unpopular. Reuters said that this
[00:04:19] poll highlights the greater political risks faced by the Trump
[00:04:22] administration. According to a report by CNN on the 4th, quoting
[00:04:26] sources, since the start of the war with Iran, the US military
[00:04:30] has consumed nearly four-fifths of its THAAD missile
[00:04:34] inventory and about half of its Patriot air defense system
[00:04:38] interceptor missiles. The long-range strike cruise missiles have also
[00:04:42] consumed nearly half of their inventory, leading to a shortage. US President
[00:04:45] Trump admitted on the 6th at the White House that the supply
[00:04:49] of certain types of ammunition is relatively tight. However, according to reports from
[00:04:53] multiple US media on the 6th, after the news of the shortage of
[00:04:56] some US military ammunition inventories was leased to the media, US President
[00:05:00] Trump was very angry, believing that these reports were encouraging the Iranian
[00:05:04] government, and demanded an investigation into the leak.
[00:05:08] According to reports from CNN, the Wall Street Journal, and other media,
[00:05:11] according to the US.
[00:07:12] Since then, it has repeatedly applied to Congress for appropriations for ammunition
[00:07:16] resupply. In a $350 billion fast-track budget, approximately
[00:07:20] $52.9 billion is specifically for ammunition production. There is
[00:07:24] also another budget request of $67 billion mainly for
[00:07:28] the Iranian war. Approximately $21 billion of this is for
[00:07:32] ammunition resupply, but due to bipartisan struggle, the relevant
[00:07:35] applications have not been approved. According to Iran's Fars News Agency report on the 6th,
[00:07:39] Salimi, a member of the Iranian Parliament's presidium, disclosed
[00:07:43] the initial text details of a proposed strategic management plan for
[00:07:47] the Strait of Hormuz. Let's take a closer look. The plan shows that
[00:07:51] ships from the United States, Israel, and other countries will be prohibited
[00:07:54] from passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Military and civilian goods
[00:07:58] related to Israel are also prohibited from passing through the area. Ships
[00:08:02] or goods involved in actions against the resistance front will also
[00:08:06] be prohibited from passing. The plan also stipulates that countries and individuals
[00:08:09] that cause losses to Iran will not be able to
[00:08:23] until the losses are compensated. The Iranian government will cooperate
[00:08:27] with the armed forces to undertake guidance, regulation of ship passage,
[00:08:31] and maintenance of Persian Gulf security. Salimi also stated that this initial
[00:08:35] text is being reviewed by the Parliament's National Security and Foreign
[00:08:39] Policy Committee, and the Parliament has invited relevant experts to provide
[00:09:34] opinions and suggestions for further development. Our exclusive footage from southern Iraqi ports shows that oil loading operations are still ongoing at these ports, but whether oil tankers can arrive as planned, and whether they can safely depart after loading, is still directly affected by the
[00:09:38] Strait's passage conditions and the regional security situation.
[00:09:42] Oil exports are the main source of income for
[00:09:46] the Iraqi government. Before the regional conflict,
[00:09:48] Iraq's daily oil exports were approximately 3.6 million
[00:09:51] barrels. Of these, approximately 3.4 million barrels were
[00:09:55] shipped from Basra port and then transported through the Strait of Hormuz
[00:09:59] to the international market. In March this year, due to oil
[00:10:03] tankers unable to normally arrive at southern Iraqi ports for oil
[00:10:07] loading and transportation, Iraq once cut its daily output by nearly
[00:10:10] 1.5 million barrels. In mid-June,
[00:10:26] after the US and Iran reached a temporary agreement. The problem is that you cannot export Iraqi oil
[00:10:30] now because
[00:10:33] of the Strait of Hormuz and the problems
[00:10:36] are still there.
[00:10:39] The Strait is tight
[00:10:42] and therefore the inability of tankers to arrive means
[00:10:46] export oil. You do not feel
[00:10:49] it.
[00:10:50] Iraqi data shows that Iraq
[00:11:25] resorted to
[00:11:28] black oil
[00:11:32] black oil is necessary to prevent
[00:11:35] Iraqi refineries from becoming congested, and to find export
[00:11:39] outlets.
[00:11:41] In 2011, border security tightened,
[00:11:47] and the Rabia crossing connecting the two countries' borders
[00:11:51] was also closed as a result. In April this year, after more than ten years of closure, the Rabia crossing reopened.
[00:12:38] On the one hand, it restored trade between Iraq and Syria, and on the other hand, it opened up an oil land transportation channel. Oil passes through the Rabia crossing
[00:12:42] to Syrian ports for transshipment. Oil tankers then sail
[00:12:46] through the Mediterranean Sea to international markets in Europe, North America,
[00:12:50] and other countries, completely bypassing
[00:12:52] the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:13:42] There is also coordination with the Syrian side in escorting
[00:13:46] tankers with military patrols
[00:13:50] from government forces accompanying the tankers from the
[00:13:53] Yaarubiyah crossing point to the last point
[00:13:56] where Iraqi oil is exported. Also,
[00:13:59] we have not witnessed any negative incidents or
[00:14:03] any threats to this trade movement.
[00:14:06] These channels are important because when the sea route is blocked again, they serve as continuous export channels for Iraq. Iraq truly overcomes
[00:14:14] 這些通道的意義在於當上再次受時為保留一條持續運的出口通道而拉克真正擺
[00:14:55] US President Trump's attitude has also subtly changed.
[00:15:12] The so-called rule means that the party at a disadvantage
[00:15:16] in a vote can block the advancement of a bill by making
[00:15:19] long speeches. According to the current rule,
[00:15:23] to end a debate and vote on
[00:15:37] a particular piece of legislation, they do it by preventing the debate on the
[00:15:41] issue from ending a bill only needs a simple majority of
[00:15:44] 51 votes to pass upon completion of debate, but it actually
[00:15:48] takes 60 votes to end the debate. 53. The existence of the cloture rule has hampered the Republican legislative agenda, so Trump has repeatedly publicly criticized this Senate debate.
[00:16:04] However, on the 5th, American democracy
[00:16:19] It is understood that one of Said's important campaign platforms is to terminate the Senate's prolonged debate rule. Regarding this, Trump
[00:16:22] on the 5th in a tweet boasted that if Said successfully
[00:16:26] pushed the Democratic Party to abolish the long debate, the Democratic Party
[00:16:30] would win four more Senate seats, eight House
[00:16:34] seats, and a large number of electoral votes and popular votes. It would
[00:18:56] also be the most. The report said that this decline highlights the limitations of intervention measures in reversing the yen's long-term downward trend. The huge interest
[00:19:00] rate differential between the US and Japan, Japan's heavy debt burden,
[00:19:04] and geopolitical uncertainties continue to exist.
[00:19:28] The US participation enhanced the symbolic significance of the intervention, increasing the risk for speculators to continue unilaterally shorting the yen.
[00:19:32] However, if Japan's fiscal policy and central bank interest
[00:19:36] rate policy do not change, the yen will be difficult to sustain.
[00:20:11] You are currently watching International News.
[00:20:14] Let's now turn our attention to Europe's
[00:20:17] high temperatures. Central Europe is currently experiencing one of the most severe
[00:20:21] heatwaves in recent years. On the 6th, the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute
[00:20:24] announced that the highest temperature in Slovakia's Veľký Krtíš reached
[00:20:28] 42.0 degrees Celsius in the afternoon, breaking the national
[00:20:32] record since Slovakia began recording temperatures seven years ago.
[00:20:36] On the 6th, the Greek National Meteorological Agency announced that the
[00:20:40] preliminary measured highest temperature nationwide on that day reached
[00:20:43] 41.8 degrees Celsius, breaking the 121-year-old
[00:20:47] national record for August 6th. The highest temperature.
[00:21:21] Under the impact of drought, the forests of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, face
[00:21:25] a severe water crisis. For several months, vegetation and soil
[00:21:29] have been very dry, and more withered yellow colors have
[00:21:32] appeared in the originally lush landscape. In Illkirch-Graffenstaden, Bas-Rhin,
[00:21:36] France, facing recurring heatwaves and drought, more and more
[00:21:40] farmers are starting to turn to planting small lentils,
[00:21:44] chickpeas, and lupins, because these crops require less water
[00:21:48] and less sand than many traditional crops.
[00:22:28] this situation also nothing and the water levels will continue to fall, ships have not been able
[00:22:32] to unload completely for a long time, not fully loaded
[00:22:35] to sail, they have been sailing for a very long time with, if they are sailing at all, with
[00:22:39] a very low load, the ships that are still underway
[00:22:43] are relatively small and here in
[00:22:46] the area perhaps still 25, perhaps sometimes.
[00:23:22] The US Embassy in Mexico did not elaborate on the specific nature
[00:23:26] of the so-called threats to US interests in its security
[00:23:30] alert. However, Michoacán Governor Bedolla said that there had
[00:23:34] been multiple arrests related to extortion, and that suspending
[00:23:38] relevant work was a preventive measure taken by the US side.
[00:23:42] He emphasized that the local government is in close communication with the
[00:23:45] security department of the US Embassy in Mexico, hoping that the
[00:23:49] avocado exports needed will
[00:24:50] Just thinking about it today, what will they eat, what will they
[00:24:53] do, if they don't work? The US State Department issued the highest risk level for Michoacán state due to incidents involving a disease affecting African cattle in 2022 and 2024. It is currently unclear when it will recover.

[00:25:24] The avocado industry alone creates 200,000 jobs in Michoacán
[00:25:28] state. In 2025, Mexico exported $3.65 billion worth
[00:25:32] of avocados to the US. In the first four months
[00:25:35] of this year, exports of this item increased by 35%
[00:25:39] compared to the same
[00:25:41] period last year. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
[00:25:45] today signed a joint defense agreement with visiting Turkish President
[00:25:49] Erdoğan and Pakistani Prime Minister Bas in Saudi Arabia.
[00:25:53] According to a joint statement issued by the three parties today,
[00:25:56] the agreement aims to strengthen joint deterrence against any
[00:26:00] acts of aggression, and stipulates that armed attacks against any
[00:26:04] of the three countries will be regarded as attacks against all
[00:26:08] three countries. The agreement will also promote defense cooperation in various
[00:26:33] fields among the three countries. 1573

[00:27:19] How to effectively cope with continuous high temperatures.
[00:27:22] High temperature weather refers to hot weather where the daily
[00:27:26] maximum temperature reaches or exceeds 35.0 degrees Celsius.
[00:27:30] In addition to causing physiological dysfunction related to body temperature
[00:27:33] regulation, when the human body is in a heat-stressed state, it can
[00:27:37] also induce heatstroke, heat rash, heat exhaustion, diarrhea,
[00:27:41] and other diseases, and may worsen the symptoms of pre-existing
[00:27:44] cardiovascular diseases, among which heatstroke is the most common.
[00:27:47] When heatstroke occurs, the body temperature is normal or slightly
[00:27:51] elevated, mainly manifested as profuse sweating, weakness in limbs,
[00:27:55] thirst, dizziness, and headache. At this time, you should quickly
[00:27:59] leave the high-temperature environment, find a cool and ventilated place
[00:28:05] to rest, and drink small amounts of water containing electrolytes. Apply or
[00:28:09] take anti-heatstroke medication on the forehead and temples. Severe heatstroke
[00:28:13] can lead to heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.
[00:28:17] Among them, heat stroke is the most serious, with a high mortality rate.
[00:28:20] It is mainly characterized by a significant increase in body temperature,
[00:28:24] profuse sweating at the beginning, followed by dry, hot skin,
[00:28:28] no sweating, and accompanied by coma. The golden three hours
[00:28:31] for rescue are within three
[00:30:39] hours of onset, and immediate hospitalization is required. It should be noted
[00:30:43] that high temperature is not the only cause of heat stroke.
[00:30:46] 20 years is a road of extraordinary achievements. Every step forward
[00:30:50] will usher in the next era's main curtain. Love in
[00:30:53] time, time will
[00:30:57] love. Tasadi, extraordinary with cleanliness.
