[00:00:00] With true emotion, let's calm the years, and
[00:00:04] make a journey together.
[00:00:07] A gentleman's quality, Oriental Wash Wine
[00:00:10] . Guizhou Wash Wine, for
[00:00:14] your overeating.
[00:00:38] In response to the empty seats, Hu attacked the Saudi airport
[00:00:41] and other targets with armed ordinary attacks. The Saudi Civil Aviation Authority announced today that it will continue to suspend
[00:00:45] the operation of Riyadh International Airport. British media revealed
[00:00:49] that the United States threatened to cut off weapons supplies and intelligence sharing to Ukraine.
[00:00:53] At that time, in response to the question, what support had the United States previously given to Ukraine?
[00:00:56] If it really cuts off support, what impact will it have on the situation?
[00:01:32] Good evening, everyone, and welcome to today's International News.
[00:01:36] Let's first focus on the current situation. The spokesperson for the Saudi Arabia-led multinational
[00:01:40] coalition, Turki al-Maliki, said today on social media
[00:01:44] that the coalition intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile
[00:01:47] launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels towards Khamis Mushait, Saudi Arabia.
[00:01:51] Khamis Mushait is located in the southwest of Saudi Arabia, near the Yemeni
[00:01:55] border. The important base of the Saudi Royal Air Force, King Khalid Air Base,
[00:01:58] is located there. Recently, Yemen's Houthi rebels
[00:02:02] have repeatedly claimed responsibility for missile and drone attacks in the region.
[00:02:06] The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation issued
[00:02:10] a statement today, announcing the continued suspension of operations at King Khalid
[00:02:14] International Airport in the capital, Riyadh, in order to coordinate with relevant departments and complete
[00:02:18] the necessary inspections of the airport facilities' safety status and operational readiness.
[00:02:22] According to the statement issued by the department, King Khalid
[00:02:26] International Airport was attacked again on the 11th, resulting in one death.
[00:03:30] about the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh being
[00:03:33] subjected to a new attack this afternoon
[00:03:37] The authority clarified that the attack resulted in
[00:03:40] injuries and that the assessment of damages
[00:03:43] and verification of the safety of facilities are still ongoing
[00:03:47] in coordination with the competent authorities. The video footage from the 10th showed
[00:04:00] that after the explosion, the scene was once chaotic, and many people
[00:04:03] in the terminal building were injured and fell to the ground. CNN analyzed
[00:04:07] that Saudi Arabia's current security pressure is related to multiple factors
[00:04:11] such as changes in its alliance relations, spillover effects of regional situations,
[00:04:14] and external security support. First, Saudi Arabia's relationship with the UAE
[00:04:18] broke down, causing Saudi Arabia to lose an important foothold in southern Yemen.
[00:04:22] In 2015, as the Houthi armed forces expanded their control,
[00:04:26] Saudi Arabia, out of consideration for its own security and geopolitical factors,
[00:04:30] led the formation of a multinational coalition to intervene in the Yemeni civil war, and the UAE
[00:04:34] also participated. At the end of last year, internal contradictions within the anti-Houthi armed forces
[00:04:38] escalated, and conflicts broke out between the Saudi-backed Yemeni government
[00:04:42] and the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council.
[00:04:44] version. i think for for some of Saudi warplanes attacked UAE military vehicles bound for
[00:04:48] that they had a Yemen. The UAE subsequently withdrew its troops from Yemen, which means
[00:04:51] that the cooperation between Saudi Arabia and the UAE around the Yemeni civil war broke down.
[00:04:55] In addition, the spillover effect of the regional situation led to the re-escalation of Houthi
[00:04:59] operations.
[00:05:29] We see the situation continue to worsen, so what cards does Saudi Arabia still have to play? What are
[00:05:32] the goals of the Houthi armed forces? Will the United States intervene
[00:05:36] to strike the Houthi armed forces? Let's hear the interpretation of Li Zixin,
[00:05:40] an expert on Middle East issues at the China Institute of International Studies.
[00:05:44] Saudi Arabia has limited cards to play, but it is not completely
[00:05:47] without
[00:05:49] options. Saudi Arabia has air superiority and can continue to intensify air strikes, but the effect is limited, and
[00:05:53] it will give the Houthi armed forces a pretext for so-called retaliatory attacks.
[00:05:56] Diplomatically, Saudi Arabia is fully activating the collective defense agreement, and wooing
[00:06:00] Turkey and Pakistan to provide air defense support. Saudi Arabia actually
[00:06:04] has the ability to strike the core infrastructure of Houthi-controlled areas, but has
[00:06:08] many concerns. However, this time the attack on Riyadh Airport may
[00:06:11] make it...
[00:07:12] The war against Iran, which consumed a lot of resources on the Yemen front.
[00:07:16] Second, in 2015, the US military air-struck over
[00:07:20] a thousand targets in Yemen, but ultimately still relied on Oman's diplomatic efforts
[00:07:23] to achieve a ceasefire, proving that air strikes are very difficult
[00:07:27] to eliminate the Houthi's long-range strike capabilities. Third, the Trump
[00:07:31] administration places great emphasis on cost-effectiveness. Protecting Saudi Arabia's
[00:07:35] strategic priority in the United States is not high. In general,
[00:07:38] the United States is more likely to maintain intelligence support plus limited
[00:08:12] but direct participation in the war could significantly escalate the conflict. Third,
[00:08:16] whether the collective defense agreement can withstand its first test.
[00:08:20] The substantive support from Turkey and Pakistan will change the current
[00:08:24] balance of power. Let's
[00:08:27] focus on the Russia-Ukraine situation again. US President Trump posted on social media on the 11th
[00:08:31] that both Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a humanitarian ceasefire
[00:08:35] and entered a ceasefire state. Ukrainian President Zelensky said
[00:08:38] today that Ukraine supports the humanitarian ceasefire initiative, but insists.
[00:09:20] The report said that last weekend, some European officials received calls from the United States. The United States lobbied relevant European countries and pressured Ukraine
[00:09:24] to try to end Ukraine's attacks on Russian refineries.
[00:09:28] The message conveyed by the US included threats to stop
[00:09:32] intelligence sharing and cut off the mechanism for Ukraine's priority needs list.
[00:09:36] This mechanism is funded by some NATO European member states
[00:09:40] to purchase weapons from the United States to aid Ukraine, and the United States does not
[00:10:12] "who can make deal, because he could have made many deals and for some
[00:10:16] reason he never does. It's up to our
[00:10:20] society, up to our people to choose
[00:10:23] one or another leader." Retired US Army officer Daniel
[00:10:27] Davis said on the 10th that the war between Russia and Ukraine is very likely
[00:10:31] entering its final stage. He believes that the US President's recent
[00:10:35] statement about Ukraine needing a new president and the agreement reached with Russia
[00:10:38] on diesel supply all indicate that the US is preparing
[00:10:42] to abandon its support for Ukraine. So, what
[00:10:46] kind of support has the US given to Ukraine, and what role has it played?
[00:10:49] If it really cuts off support for Ukraine, what kind of impact will it have?
[00:10:53] Let's look at today's.
[00:11:23] F-16 fighter jets, etc.
[00:11:55] The systematic support from the United States, especially military support, is actually
[00:11:59] a crucial pillar for Ukraine to be able to withstand Russia's long-term aggression.
[00:12:02] 。
[00:12:06] US intelligence, including anti-tank and air defense equipment,
[00:12:09] has actually greatly helped the Ukrainian army withstand
[00:12:13] the Russian army's first wave of blitzkrieg offensive. In this stalemate phase
[00:12:17] of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, it should be said that US military
[00:12:21] equipment is still the main equipment used by Ukraine on the battlefield. At the same time, US intelligence,
[00:13:25] uh, Trump may still be making a threatening gesture at this stage,
[00:13:28] because if Trump really wants to make such a major decision, the political risks
[00:13:32] within the United States, including the pressure from European allies, will be very great.
[00:13:36] In the short term, I think it's still very difficult. Today,
[00:13:39] EU foreign ministers held a meeting in Luxembourg. Earlier, the United States announced that it would import
[00:13:43] diesel from Russia to ease energy price pressure. This
[00:13:47] arrangement has raised concerns in Ukraine and many European countries.
[00:13:50] According to the agenda of the meeting that day, the foreign ministers
[00:13:54] discussed the Russia-Ukraine conflict and how the EU will continue to pressure
[00:13:58] Russia. Just
[00:14:00] before the meeting, the US temporarily relaxed sanctions related to Russian diesel,
[00:14:04] which raised concerns in Europe. To this end, the Ukrainian foreign minister
[00:14:08] informed the EU foreign ministers of Ukraine's position on this issue.
[00:14:12] The EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kallas, said
[00:14:16] that the EU will continue to push for sanctions against Russia and proposed
[00:14:20] a specific sanctions plan targeting about 1,600 individuals
[00:14:24] and entities in the Russian military-industrial complex. Kallas's statement
[00:14:28] sends a relatively clear signal that the EU does not intend to change
[00:14:31] the general direction of sanctions against Russia due to energy market pressure. However,
[00:14:35] this diesel arrangement between the US and Russia also exposes the real challenges
[00:14:39] faced by Western policy coordination. Energy prices and security of supply
[00:14:43] may lead different countries to make different choices.
[00:14:47] The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade and Minister for Defence of Ireland,
[00:14:50] Micheál Martin, said that without US involvement, Europe cannot unilaterally
[00:14:54] achieve the goal of pressuring Russia. Judging from the signals released by the Luxembourg Foreign Ministers' meeting,
[00:14:58] the EU intends to maintain pressure on Russia with further sanctions,
[00:15:02] while striving for the US and Europe to maintain policy coordination. For the EU,
[00:15:06] if the US and Europe have greater differences on energy policy towards Russia,
[00:15:09] it may not only affect the effectiveness of sanctions, but also further test
[00:15:13] the coordination capabilities of Europe and the US in supporting Ukraine.
[00:15:17] When energy supply, economic costs and geopolitical goals conflict,
[00:15:21] can the West still maintain policy consistency towards Russia?
[00:15:37] There are also criticisms that Trump unilaterally made concessions to Russia
[00:15:41] out of electoral considerations.
[00:15:45] US Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said that the surge in US diesel
[00:15:49] prices was the result of the Trump administration launching a foolish
[00:15:52] and illegal war in the Middle East. Trump's agreement with Russia on diesel
[00:15:56] supply was to reverse the political decline he caused.
[00:16:00] This is just another bad mistake by
[00:16:03] President Trump, of course, several weeks out from the
[00:16:07] midterms elections where the high price of diesel is
[00:16:10] costing him and Republican candidates dearly in
[00:16:14] states like Iowa or Kansas that are newly
[00:16:17] competitive because farmers are paying costs that are way
[00:16:21] too high for them. Those costs are a result of Trump's war
[00:16:25] of choice against Iran and Iran's closure of the
[00:16:28] straits of
[00:16:29] Hormus.
[00:16:37] The Trump administration's move shows that its policy towards Russia is a failure.
[00:16:41] In addition, four Republican senators and three Democratic
[00:16:45] senators issued a joint statement on the 11th, saying that Congress
[00:16:48] clearly prohibited the import of Russian energy in 2022
[00:16:52] to prevent US funds from flowing into Russia. They pointed out that
[00:16:56] the Trump administration did not consult Congress in advance, nor did it submit any
[00:16:59] explanation for its decision. And these two procedures
[00:17:03] are also required by law. They called on the Trump administration
[00:17:06] to...
[00:17:41] A recent poll released by the Pew Research Center shows that 74% of American
[00:17:44] adults are very concerned about energy prices.
[00:17:47] 。
[00:17:50] Economic issues are an important factor influencing their midterm election choices.
[00:17:53] As the midterm elections approach, the Trump administration
[00:17:57] urgently needs to stabilize energy prices before the election and alleviate
[00:18:01] the electoral pressure faced by the Republican Party. An analysis article by the US think tank, the Institute for the Study of
[00:18:04] War, pointed out that currently, Russia has not made
[00:18:08] any promises to the US regarding ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
[00:18:12] The US relaxing sanctions on Russian diesel trade is equivalent to making
[00:18:15] a unilateral concession. The documentary "Collateral Damage" directed by an Israeli
[00:18:19] director sparked a strong reaction from the Israeli government. Israeli
[00:18:23] Prime Minister Netanyahu on the 11th demanded that the military and prosecutors
[00:18:27] launch a criminal investigation to identify the anonymous military personnel
[00:18:31] in the film and prosecute them. So, what content
[00:18:34] was in this documentary?
[00:19:07] and intelligence personnel revealed that the Israeli army used artificial intelligence technology
[00:19:11] to launch air strikes, carrying out industrialized massacres in the Gaza Strip.
[00:19:15] The Times of Israel and other media reported that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
[00:19:19] on the 11th sent a letter to the Israeli Attorney General, the Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, and the head of the Shin Bet
[00:19:23] security agency, among others, demanding that they immediately take
[00:19:26] action to identify all personnel involved in or appearing in the documentary,
[00:19:30] and launch a criminal investigation into acts that harm Israel's diplomatic and security interests,
[00:19:34] and prosecute them. Netanyahu believes that the film tells
[00:19:38] a false, misleading, and biased story, which seriously damages
[00:19:42] Israel's international image. The documentary "Collateral Damage"
[00:19:45] was released in multiple locations in North America in early October. The director, Yuval,
[00:19:49] on the 11th, when interviewed by American media, frankly stated that the Israeli
[00:19:53] Defense Forces and the government do not want these internal testimonies to be known to the public,
[00:19:57] and these anonymous interviewees feel a responsibility to tell
[00:20:00] the truth.
[00:20:03] 。
[00:20:07] IDF and ' that people in the Israeli government government don't
[00:20:10] want um these revelations to come out, they don't want
[00:20:13] people to listen to these soldiers, they much rather people only
[00:20:17] have the the spokes person's
[00:20:21] them, perhaps for many of them, it was a sense
[00:20:25] responsibility to share those details, to speak about it in
[00:20:29] Hebrew, so these Israely audience hears about it, but also that the American audience
[00:20:33] and that international audiences um hear
[00:20:35] about what they've done, hear about the...
[00:20:51] The Middle East continues to be volatile, with war spreading to many countries,
[00:20:54] and Lebanon is one of them. Despite the ceasefire agreement, Israeli
[00:20:58] air strikes on southern Lebanon have not stopped. The impact of the war has also extended
[00:21:02] to the daily decisions of ordinary people. This week, International News
[00:21:06] brings a series of reports, "Beyond the War." In the first episode,
[00:21:10] CCTV reporter Chen Huihui came to Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. A local
[00:21:13] taxi driver, Samir, said that in Lebanon, people have to consider, before going out,
[00:21:17] not only how to reach their destination,
[00:21:52] Samir, 44 years old this year, has been driving for more than 20
[00:21:56] years. He remembers the roads in Lebanon to various places, and at the same time,
[00:22:00] he remembers where there have been bombings and where there is danger. Every day
[00:22:03] before setting off, safety is his primary concern.
[00:22:07] 。
[00:22:13] This day, Samir took us to a main road connecting the city
[00:22:17] and the airport.
[00:24:50] for me and you, i think it's better to stop here, if we continue
[00:24:53] further to the south after s, we will reach at some point to the
[00:24:57] south and the south that the lebanese
[00:25:00] army will forbid us to continue, that will be the
[00:25:04] end of the road for now. For safety reasons, we did not continue south. For the team, this was a short journey, but for the people in southern Lebanon, these roads connect,
[00:25:55] Especially since the outbreak of the new Lebanon conflict in 2023,
[00:25:59] how has Lebanon been dragged into it repeatedly?
[00:26:06] 2023 we had war with Israel again 2024
[00:26:09] same 2025 say so uh
[00:26:13] until this year until this year yeah it's very
[00:26:16] hard yeah but we are people we love life we
[00:26:20] continue we continue we try our
[00:26:22] best
[00:26:25] okay good night good night good night see you tomorrow see you tomorrow
