Iran is saying that it is talking to Oman, which President Trump [00:00:34] is also angry about. The price of oil in the [00:00:36] of saving themselves, is that international market is reflecting this. Brent has fallen below $80, [00:00:39] which means there might be a deal in the works. The media is also reporting this, [00:00:43] but we have come here many times, and after that, things have gone wrong. [00:00:46] What are your sources saying in Washington? [00:00:49] Yes, look, what our sources in the [00:00:53] Pentagon, State Department, and White House are telling us is what President Trump wants. [00:00:56] He wants the war to end [00:01:00] to someone else because they believe somehow, because he knows that this has become a huge political liability for him. [00:01:04] parties, if they join Midterm elections in the US are coming in November. The oil [00:01:08] price, as you rightly said, has decreased, but generally, if you look at the trend, [00:01:12] it has been upward. So, I think what [00:01:14] and overall, the governance our sources are telling us is that President Trump wants this to end somehow. However, [00:01:17] he also knows that he is stuck because, look, the issue of the Strait of Hormuz [00:01:21] was not an issue before the war started, and now a [00:01:25] situation has arisen where President Trump wants to get out of it somehow. [00:01:29] Iran is saying, and [00:01:33] Sahib is contacting people, [00:02:18] Party itself seems to be drowning with the Noon League? [00:02:30] we have to keep in mind that President Trump also wants oil [00:02:33] prices not to increase. His statements have a significant impact [00:02:44] international media, and even in the American media, news is coming that President Trump [00:02:48] is being advised that if we push further, it will not affect Iran. If we [00:02:52] carry out more attacks, it will be of no use. News is coming that the number of interceptors [00:02:55] has significantly decreased. If Iran attacks the allies, as it is saying, then [00:02:59] their defense... [00:04:02] I think, [00:05:02] And now the situation is that [00:09:51] tock, tick tock. Your [00:09:54] countdown has begun. We will talk. We have with us [00:09:58] senior political analyst Hamid Mir Sahib. Hamid Mir Sahib, thank you very much for joining us on the show. Mir Sahib, it is obvious [00:10:02] that Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Sahib has said tick tock, tick [00:10:06] tock. Your countdown has begun. [00:10:09] This was said to the Noon League. [00:10:25] The reason for this is that both the Pakistan Peoples Party and the Noon League are [00:10:29] stakeholders and beneficiaries of this system. [00:10:33] Now, you see that [00:10:36] a summary has gone to the President [00:10:39] regarding the appointment of High Court judges. [00:10:43] The President has not signed it for many days, so the high-level [00:10:46] sources of the Muslim League Noon believe that [00:10:50] the President will come to Islamabad today, so perhaps he will sign it. [00:10:54] But if [00:10:57] we know the President's working [00:11:00] style, he can sign it even sitting in Karachi. [00:11:04] So he has not signed it, and Bilawal Sahib [00:11:07] is saying that the countdown has begun. So now the [00:11:11] question arises, if the countdown has begun, what does that mean? [00:11:15] Obviously, it means a vote of no confidence. So [00:11:19] if a vote of no confidence comes, then [00:11:22] consider the numbers game of the Pakistan Peoples Party, [00:11:26] and then you see which [00:11:29] the Pakistan Peoples Party, can bring down Shehbaz Sharif's government. [00:11:33] So the biggest party is Tehreek-e-Insaf, whose MNAs [00:11:37] do not have a ticket from Tehreek-e-Insaf, [00:11:41] but they are called Tehreek-e-Insaf, and then after that, [00:11:44] Maulana Fazlur Rehman's party comes, then [00:11:48] some independent members come. Mehmood Khan Achakzai Sahib [00:11:51] is the opposition leader, so [00:11:55] our information is that Mehmood Khan Achakzai [00:11:58] and so far, no formal decision [00:12:02] has been made regarding a vote of no confidence, [00:12:05] but things are ultimately [00:12:09] heading in that direction because you can see that [00:12:13] this debate about new provinces, in this debate about new provinces, [00:12:16] it seems that the Pakistan Peoples Party will [00:12:19] make it a do-or-die issue for itself. So if [00:12:23] an attempt is made to impose this on them, then I think that [00:12:27] Shehbaz Sharif Sahib may face difficulties. [00:12:30] Sir, and in this whole scenario, when it comes to difficulties, [00:12:34] then Amir Muqam Sahib says that we will drown together; we will not go alone. So [00:12:38] will the Pakistan Peoples Party go for this option where the Pakistan Peoples [00:12:43] ساتھ [00:12:47] Look, politically, if you see, [00:12:50] there is a school of thought in the Pakistan [00:12:53] Peoples Party, a group. It is a very strong group, [00:12:56] and most of those people belong to Punjab [00:13:00] and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Azad Kashmir, [00:13:03] and they believe [00:13:07] with the Noon League, we joined the Noon League [00:13:10] to make Zardari Sahib president. We got [00:13:14] two governors, and we formed a government in Balochistan, so [00:13:18] we suffered a lot because of this. And until [00:13:21] we get rid of the Noon League, we cannot revive [00:13:24] the Benazir Bhutto Pakistan Peoples Party. On the other [00:13:28] hand, there is a group within the Pakistan Peoples Party that is [00:13:32] a beneficiary, you can say. Most of them belong to Sindh. [00:13:35] And those people believe that we have a government in Sindh. [00:13:39] And the President is also sitting [00:13:42] in the President's House, so we are only gaining. But [00:13:46] now it seems to me that the President himself is also very close [00:13:49] to the Punjab group in his thinking, because [00:13:53] the Pakistan Peoples Party tried [00:13:56] to hold a rally in Lahore, and they were not allowed to hold a rally. [00:14:00] And the rally was for Asif Zardari Sahib's [00:14:04] birthday. They organized a rally at Minar-e-Pakistan, [00:14:08] but they were not allowed. So the group in the Pakistan Peoples Party that believes [00:14:12] that we should now get rid of the Noon League [00:14:15] that group's thinking and Asif [00:14:19] Zardari Sahib's thinking and Bilawal Bhutto Sahib's thinking have become [00:14:23] quite close. So the group within the Pakistan Peoples Party [00:14:27] that believes that we should continue to work with the Noon League [00:14:30] in this setup, I think that group has become quite weak, [00:14:34] and ultimately, if the Pakistan Peoples Party makes a decision, [00:14:38] then it is certain that not only the Muslim League Noon will suffer, [00:14:41] but the Pakistan Peoples Party will also suffer, and the system may also suffer. [00:14:45] Sir, and in the past, it happened that the canal issue was also discussed in the same [00:14:49] way as the creation of more administrative units is being discussed now. But [00:14:52] the people... [00:15:27] both parties, Muslim League Noon and Pakistan Peoples Party, are stuck [00:15:31] because in the past, Nawaz Sharif himself and Shehbaz Sharif [00:15:34] Sahib have supported new provinces. In fact, [00:15:38] when Shehbaz Sharif Sahib was the Chief Minister of Punjab and Rana Sanaullah Sahib was the Law [00:15:41] Minister of Punjab, they themselves passed a unanimous resolution [00:15:45] from the Punjab Assembly. Both parties were involved in it, Noon League and [00:15:49] Pakistan Peoples Party, that Bahawalpur province should also be formed and South [00:15:53] Punjab province should also be formed. Similarly, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa [00:15:57] Assembly has passed [00:16:00] that Hazara province should be formed. Muslim League Noon has also supported it, [00:16:04] PTI has also supported it, and Pakistan Peoples Party has also supported it. [00:16:08] So the consensus of these parties, which is their way [00:16:13] the way to form new provinces in the constitution [00:16:17] has been decided, by following that path, you [00:16:20] can form a new province. So where will that new province be formed? In Punjab [00:16:24] and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, neither in Sindh nor in Balochistan. [00:16:27] So this is acceptable to the Noon League [00:16:31] and also to the Pakistan Peoples Party, but it is possible that [00:16:34] it might not be acceptable [00:16:38] that in Pakistan's largest city, Karachi, [00:16:41] where the mayor is from the Pakistan Peoples Party, [00:16:45] the affairs of this largest city of Karachi [00:16:49] have deteriorated so much, [00:16:52] of the Pakistan Peoples Party's government in Sindh is facing so many [00:16:55] questions that [00:16:58] if Karachi is not made a separate unit, [00:17:02] the problem will not be solved. So here, I think there can be a very big [00:17:06] fight between the Pakistan Peoples Party and the system. And [00:17:10] Sir, when you talked about the system, when Mohsin Naqvi Sahib gave his speech [00:17:13] the other day, an impression also emerged [00:17:17] that perhaps everything is not well between the central government (Noon League) and the system. [00:17:21] Nawaz Sharif Sahib refused to respond to party leaders, [00:17:25] but before that, responses were given. A space was created for [00:17:28] Tehreek-e-Insaf, which historically happens that when there is some [00:17:32] issue or rift between the government and the system's institutions, [00:17:35] the opposition gets a chance to create space. [00:17:37] Is there a possibility of [00:17:39] this? [00:17:43] Look, Shahzeb Sahib, you have asked a very interesting question. [00:17:46] If you look at the founder chairman of [00:17:50] Tehreek-e-Insaf, who is currently in jail, if you bring out his [00:17:53] old statements, you will know. [00:17:57] You will get the answer to your question. Imran [00:18:01] Khan Sahib is not only a supporter of [00:18:04] administrative units and new provinces, he is their supporter, [00:18:08] but I have [00:18:11] heard from his own mouth that he is also a supporter of the presidential system. [00:18:14] So for now, put the debate about the presidential system aside, [00:18:18] but this is a big coincidence. [00:18:22] You can call it a beautiful coincidence [00:18:25] or a very inappropriate coincidence [00:18:29] that there is not much difference between Mohsin Naqvi Sahib's opinion [00:18:33] and Imran Khan Sahib's opinion on the matter of administrative units. [00:18:49] and between the institutions, it should end. This is such an important issue. [00:18:51] ہے [00:18:53] No, I don't think it's that easy. I just answered your question [00:18:57] that Tehreek-e-Insaf, if [00:19:00] it wants, can create space because [00:19:04] Imran Khan Sahib was in the past new... [00:19:15] There is not one opinion on this either. You must have seen that in the last [00:19:18] three or four days, many federal ministers are [00:19:22] supporting new administrative units. Raza Rabbani has, [00:19:26] Sardar Yusuf Sahib has, Barrister Aqil Malik Sahib [00:19:29] has. I know of more people in the pipeline who are supporting this. [00:19:33] So on this matter, Shehbaz Sharif Sahib and Nawaz Sharif Sahib's opinion [00:19:37] is, [00:19:39] a minority opinion within the PML-N, [00:19:43] because the majority of the PML-N at this [00:19:47] time, if you look at which [00:19:50] person, which minister was in which [00:19:54] party before and how they came to the PML-N, when you go [00:19:57] into that background, you will know [00:20:00] that it shouldn't happen that in this matter, [00:20:03] the Prime Minister himself goes into the minority.

[00:26:11] Written, Maulana, I appeal to you, let's call a meeting. [00:26:15] This is a matter of national security. Afghanistan [00:26:19] Khawra. [00:26:29] Look, the Jirga is on Saturday and Sunday. [00:26:47] This is the Mosque of Khalil al-Wazir, and you can see the minaret of the mosque, which has been destroyed. [00:26:51] This is the area of East Gaza. Many mosques here [00:26:54] have also been destroyed by Israeli airstrikes. Ahlan wa sahlan, Palestine. This [00:26:58] girl is saying, Ahlan wa sahlan, Palestine. Welcome [00:27:01] to Palestine. I am in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. [00:27:05] Hamid Mir is present to serve you from Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. Hamid Mir is present to serve you from Tora Bora. [00:27:09] Hamid Mir is present to serve you from Beirut, [00:27:13] the capital of Lebanon. This [00:27:16] Indian attack, the only casualty in this attack, [00:27:20] if any death occurred, was the death of this crow. [00:27:24] I am near Mir Ali. [00:27:25] ہوں [00:27:31] From Pakistan to Palestine. [00:30:32] I have not accused the government at all. I am part of the government. I will not accuse myself at all. I still believe [00:30:36] today that if the Prime Minister [00:30:40] had found a better system, he would have taken this country [00:30:44] forward faster, and people have a great desire and [00:30:48] will continue to have for my and his relationship to deteriorate. [00:30:51] But the government's future is absolutely [00:30:55] going to complete five years. Shehbaz Sahib will remain Prime Minister for five years, [00:30:58] whatever happens.
