[00:00:00] And when destruction comes, you know what happens, it sweeps everything
[00:00:04] away with it. You are seeing this. There was a bridge, dozens of such
[00:00:08] bridges were swept
[00:00:09] away
[00:00:18] again.
[00:00:23] Oh
[00:00:23] oh.
[00:00:34] floods have come to Nepal before, but how did it come again? Let me tell you,
[00:00:38] what is the story behind this? The floods
[00:00:41] children do not get a chance in the Budhi Gandak river in Gorkha district
[00:00:44] of Nepal have caused devastation. These are its pictures. This flood
[00:00:47] was so devastating that 35 houses, six bridges were swept
[00:00:51] away with it. Due to the flood, 10 people are missing, whose
[00:00:55] whereabouts have not been found. It is claimed that the river's course
[00:00:58] was actually blocked by landslides in the high mountainous areas. What
[00:01:03] to three companies, including Starlink. happened due to this? Water accumulated there. Then, suddenly, water came down
[00:01:06] with a strong current. The administration alerted the people living in the lower areas,
[00:01:10] and also appealed to those living in such places to move to
[00:01:13] a safe place. After the flood, the Balen government deployed
[00:01:17] the Nepali army for rescue operations. People are being airlifted
[00:01:20] from areas where there is a risk of danger. Also, after this flood
[00:01:24] in the Budhi Gandak river, there is an atmosphere of panic throughout
[00:01:28] Nepal, because just 45 days ago,
[00:01:31] Truth also gets generated, on August 26, floods had wreaked havoc in Nepal. At that time, 1455
[00:01:35] people had lost their lives due to floods in the Botekoshi and
[00:01:39] Trishuli rivers. More than 5000 people are still missing, and the search
[00:01:42] for them is ongoing. Those images, that scene is
[00:01:46] still fresh in everyone's minds. Look, these are those images
[00:01:49] when the devastation
[00:01:52] came some time ago.
[00:03:09] And look, the SDRF has been deployed in Bhagalpur so that as the water
[00:03:13] level rises, aid can be provided
[00:03:15] Arabia started military action to the people, and those who are trapped can be rescued.
[00:03:30] And in Uttar Pradesh, there are already flood conditions, not
[00:03:34] only in the districts bordering Nepal, but you have already seen
[00:03:37] the situation in Lucknow. Flood conditions
[00:03:40] persist
[00:03:49] in Faizullaganj. Now look, on one side Uttar Pradesh, on the other side Bihar,
[00:03:53] the devastation
[00:03:54] news from India and abroad, in Nepal is an alert for UP and Bihar. Floods
[00:03:57] in the Budhi Gandak river could increase the danger in Bihar.
[00:04:01] The Central Water Commission has issued an advisory for Bihar and UP.
[00:04:04] Areas of Bihar and UP situated along the Nepal border and
[00:04:07] the Gandak river have been alerted. The advisory states that floods
[00:04:11] may increase the water level in the Gandak Barrage, due to which there may be
[00:04:15] a risk of floods in the lower areas. Actually, the Budhi Gandak
[00:04:20] India has also issued guidelines river in Nepal further joins the Trishuli river, and then
[00:04:22] the water of both these rivers
[00:04:26] that was fine, because a businessman reaches the Narayani river. This river then enters Bihar and UP as the Gandak in India.
[00:04:30] And about 40 kilometers of this river's
[00:04:33] stretch includes districts like Maharajganj, Kushinagar
[00:04:37] and Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh. After this, it reaches Bihar
[00:04:41] and then joins the Ganga. Therefore, the impact of the floods in Nepal
[00:04:44] may be felt in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. However, it is not
[00:04:48] clear whether the water level will rise
[00:04:51] in Nepal due to the floods or not. Let me make you listen, please listen to what
[00:04:55] Maharajganj DM Gaurav Singh is saying. A water calamity was seen
[00:04:58] in Nepal, and its impact.
[00:06:13] And after this blast, look at the scene at the airport. This
[00:06:17] was attacked by the Houthis. After the Houthi blasts,
[00:06:20] black smoke is seen rising. The airport terminal was attacked.
[00:06:42] (Silence)
[00:06:46] And look at the situation inside the terminal, nothing was visible.
[00:06:49] Dead bodies were scattered everywhere, corpses were scattered.
[00:07:06] Now look, the Houthis have attacked Saudi Arabia many times before,
[00:07:10] but this attack was the biggest
[00:07:13] so far. Look,
[00:07:16] the Houthis attacked Riyadh, the capital of Saudi
[00:07:19] Arabia. The Houthis launched a barrage of missile attacks on King
[00:07:23] Khalid Airport in Riyadh. It is claimed that the missiles
[00:07:26] directly hit the airport terminal building, and as a result
[00:07:30] of this attack, 12 people died, and more than 300 were injured.
[00:07:34] Among the dead were four Saudi Arabian citizens, two Bangladeshi
[00:07:38] citizens, and one each from America, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Sudan.
[00:07:41] It is being said that the condition of some of the injured is very
[00:07:45] serious. Currently, after evacuating the airport, flights have been suspended,
[00:07:49] and as a result, at least 200 flights
[00:07:52] were cancelled within 24 hours. This is the fourth
[00:07:56] major attack on Riyadh International Airport in 20 days. In fact,
[00:07:59] the Houthis had warned international airlines this week and said
[00:08:03] that flying planes in Saudi airspace could
[00:08:06] have serious consequences. Now, after the Houthi attack,
[00:08:10] Saudi Arabia could launch a major
[00:08:13] counterattack. America could also join the military action with
[00:08:16] Saudi Arabia. US President Trump has said that the attack on
[00:08:20] Saudi Arabia was terrible. We can attack together. We
[00:08:24] act very quickly. Pakistani PM Shahbaz Sharif has also
[00:08:28] given a direct warning to the Houthis. He said that the red line has
[00:08:31] now been crossed and it will not be tolerated.
[00:08:33] Listen, let me make you listen to what Donald Trump and Shahbaz
[00:08:37] Sharif are saying. We can attack against the Houthis
[00:08:41] together with Saudi Arabia.
[00:09:12] Pakistan stands with its Saudi brothers and sisters in every
[00:09:16] way, and any kind of aggression
[00:09:19] will not be tolerated by Pakistan in any way. The
[00:09:23] situation in Saudi Arabia is a matter of concern for India,
[00:09:27] because many Indians live and work in Saudi Arabia. Therefore,
[00:09:32] for those living in Saudi Arabia. Amidst continuous attacks in Saudi
[00:09:36] Arabia, the Indian embassy issued an advisory
[00:09:39] and advised Indians living in Saudi Arabia to be
[00:09:42] careful and vigilant. The Indian embassy has said that
[00:09:46] in view of the situation, stay indoors and follow
[00:09:50] any orders or instructions issued by the local administration. Also,
[00:09:53] do not post any video of the attack on social media.
[00:09:57] The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has condemned the missile
[00:10:01] attack in Riyadh. It said that repeated attacks on civilians cannot
[00:10:04] be tolerated. Such attacks should stop immediately. We
[00:10:08] stand with the Saudi government and people. India has expressed hope
[00:10:11] that peace will be restored in the region soon. Keeping in mind
[00:10:15] the safety of the people, Air India flights have been suspended.
[00:10:19] Not just Air India, many international flights have been suspended in Saudi
[00:10:23] Arabia. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency has also issued
[00:10:26] a warning over Saudi airspace. According to the agency, Houthi
[00:10:30] rebels can now attack deep inside Saudi Arabia.
[00:10:33] Listen to what the spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs,
[00:10:36] Randhir Jaiswal, is saying. There have been some disruptions
[00:10:40] due to the attacks in Saudi Arabia. We have strongly condemned
[00:10:43] these attacks on civilians and the infrastructure used by them.
[00:10:47] Apart from this, in my opinion, there is no other
[00:10:50] problem with connectivity. And now let me tell you the
[00:10:54] big thing is that many people in India do not know why
[00:10:58] Saudi Arabia and the Houthis are fighting, what is the reason
[00:11:01] behind their fight? So I will tell you, first look at the
[00:11:05] picture. In Yemen, there are two groups, the Houthis and the government-backed
[00:11:09] groups, who are fighting among themselves.
[00:11:23] Look at the Houthis in Saudi
[00:11:56] Arabia. Now let me tell you, the whole fight is about
[00:11:59] power. But let me show you through a map where these Houthis
[00:12:03] are, where Saudi Arabia is, and which is the other group
[00:12:07] in Yemen? You are seeing this map. Saudi Arabia is visible
[00:12:10] above. This is Yemen and this is Sana'a.
[00:12:14] If you look at the map of Yemen, the yellow part and the green
[00:12:17] part you are seeing, this yellow and green part is the
[00:12:21] whole of Yemen. But on one side, there is a government in Yemen,
[00:12:25] which is the yellow part you are seeing. The green part is occupied
[00:12:29] by the Houthi rebels. These are rebels who have occupied this area.
[00:12:33] They fight against the government of Yemen, against its army, and they
[00:12:36] are also fighting against Saudi Arabia. Now, since the border meets, it
[00:12:39] is easy for them to fire missiles and drones into Saudi Arabia.
[00:12:43] Below, you are seeing the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. When ships pass from here,
[00:12:47] they also take control and attack them. It comes from the Red Sea
[00:12:51] for Saudi Arabia. Here too, they have made life difficult. So now
[00:13:25] let me tell you, why did Saudi Arabia get involved in the war
[00:13:27] against the Houthis? Because it is a neighboring country. If there
[00:13:31] is tension and fighting below, it will affect Saudi Arabia.
[00:13:35] That's why Saudi Arabia also started taking action. In 2015, Saudi
[00:13:40] against the Houthi rebels. UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait
[00:13:44] also joined the military action with Saudi Arabia. They believed
[00:13:48] that the old government in Yemen should be restored and the Houthis
[00:13:51] should leave, meaning the old government in this entire area should
[00:13:55] be restored. But what was the effect of the attacks? The Houthis'
[00:13:58] grip strengthened in this area. Saudi Arabia believes that Iran
[00:14:02] is behind the Houthi rebels, meaning Iran provides weapons,
[00:14:05] missiles, and drones to the Houthis. In this way, Yemen was divided
[00:14:09] into two parts, one Houthi (Iran-backed) Yemen,
[00:14:12] and the other part, this part, which is separate from the
[00:14:15] Houthi occupation and is supported by Saudi Arabia. In fact, Saudi
[00:14:19] Arabia has another motive behind removing the Houthis. Now come
[00:14:23] back a bit. This part you are seeing, ships carrying oil come
[00:14:27] out of the Red Sea from here. Saudi Arabia wants to take back
[00:14:31] the occupied area near the Red Sea. One of these places
[00:14:34] is the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, which Saudi Arabia has its
[00:14:38] eyes on, because it is a sea route that is very important
[00:14:42] for trade, and many things, including oil, are supplied
[00:14:46] through this route. In short, the entire fight between Saudi
[00:14:49] Arabia and the Houthis is over the control
[00:14:51] of land and water. So, of course, you must have
[00:16:10] understood. And what was the effect of this? The effect was that
[00:16:14] the Pakistan government declared an emergency in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
[00:16:17] province, which was Imran's government, and dismissed the government,
[00:16:21] dismissed Imran's CM. Quickly?
[00:17:15] What are they doing, crazy?
[00:17:19] They shouldn't be doing this.
[00:17:22] Now, things will be very bad
[00:17:23] in KP.
[00:17:29] Now, let me tell you
[00:17:31] why all this is happening in Pakistan.
[00:17:35] Look, the reason behind the situation in Pakistan
[00:17:39] is this protest that has been going on for several days.
[00:17:43] The Shahbaz government of Pakistan declared an emergency in Khyber
[00:17:46] Pakhtunkhwa and dismissed Imran Khan's PTI government
[00:17:49] there. Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari
[00:17:53] announced this. Shahbaz alleges that the PTI government is not
[00:17:57] cooperating on terrorism, and that support is deliberately
[00:18:00] not being given in the fight against terrorism. And the Shahbaz
[00:18:04] government will not tolerate terrorism in Pakistan at all. The decision
[00:18:07] to impose emergency was taken in an emergency meeting chaired
[00:18:11] by Shahbaz. The security situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was discussed
[00:18:15] in this meeting. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party, PTI,
[00:18:19] opposed this step, calling it undemocratic and raising
[00:18:22] fears of increased violence and instability. According to the Pakistani
[00:18:26] constitution, emergency can be imposed when there is a war, an attack
[00:18:30] by another country, or when the situation in the country deteriorates
[00:18:34] and the provincial government cannot handle it, then presidential rule
[00:18:37] is imposed. In an emergency, the center gets strong powers to intervene
[00:18:41] in the province. However, in Pakistan, this action is being linked
[00:18:44] to the protest march, because there was a protest going on
[00:18:48] in Pakistan for Imran's release, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM Suhail
[00:18:51] Afridi has been marching since October 4. Two rounds of talks to stop
[00:18:55] this protest proved to be unsuccessful, and roads had already been
[00:18:59] blocked with containers in Islamabad to stop the march. And now,
[00:19:03] by imposing an emergency, Shahbaz has dismissed the PTI government. Listen to
[00:19:08] what opposition leader Allama Raja Nasir
[00:19:11] is saying. This is one of the darkest days in Pakistan's
[00:19:15] history. Today is October
[00:19:17] 11. It's a dark day, a dark
[00:19:21] day in Pakistan's history. It's an attack
[00:19:25] on Pakistan's constitution, an attack on Pakistan's federation,
[00:19:28] an attack on the aspirations and hopes of the people of Pakistan.
[00:19:31] They have erected walls as high as K2 in the way
[00:19:35] of creating a beautiful Pakistan.
[00:19:38] Let's move on to the news. There is another big news today
[00:19:41] related to Elon Musk. We will directly come to Musk's news
[00:19:45] and tell you why Musk is in the news.
[00:19:49] What is Arman Musk's cheap plan? Elon Musk. Elon Musk
[00:19:52] has been very close to Donald Trump. When the elections were
[00:19:56] happening, there were also reports that the differences between Musk
[00:19:59] and Trump had increased. But
[00:20:03] does everything for business. On the other hand, Musk
[00:20:06] has now started targeting India through his
[00:20:10] social media platform Twitter. But India first watched
[00:20:14] silently, and then Musk also received
[00:20:17] a counterattack. Let me now tell you that Elon Musk
[00:20:21] has also received a strong response. Look at what Indian
[00:20:24] politicians are saying and how they are responding. In fact,
[00:20:28] Musk, who is the owner of Space X and Starlink, said
[00:20:31] that internet is cheap in India, so Starlink will also
[00:20:34] be cheap. Space X will set a very affordable price
[00:20:38] for India, because if Starlink is expensive, no one will
[00:20:42] buy it. There will be competition in the Indian market, so people
[00:20:45] will get cheaper options. Someone's profit may decrease, but business
[00:20:49] will not stop. On this, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said
[00:20:53] that India has democracy, and decisions related to security are
[00:20:57] not taken under any pressure, nor are decisions made based
[00:21:01] on social media debates. Musk should first provide cheap internet
[00:21:04] to the poor people of his own country, and then question
[00:21:08] India or offer cheap internet. After this, Musk tweeted again.
[00:21:12] He wrote that Starlink has been approved in 165 countries
[00:21:16] worldwide. The company has been following every Indian law for
[00:21:20] 5 years. Despite this, why has our company not received a
[00:21:24] license? There are many areas in India where there is no
[00:21:27] internet facility. Due to this,
[00:21:31] to get education, and small businesses' products remain away
[00:21:35] from the global market. Starlink can bring about change in improving
[00:21:38] their lives. Is the government under pressure, which is why Starlink
[00:21:42] is being stopped? On this, Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya
[00:21:45] Scindia replied that India does not allow monopoly in any
[00:21:49] sector. Licenses have been given
[00:21:53] These licenses have been given for satellite communication services.
[00:21:56] However, companies cannot start commercial services immediately. They
[00:22:00] have to complete all security conditions and spectrum-related
[00:22:03] processes. The rules are exactly the same and fair for all
[00:22:07] companies. The process is not being run by targeting any
[00:22:11] one company. After this, there was also political uproar and
[00:22:14] commotion. Listen to what the politician is saying. Our stand
[00:22:18] is absolutely clear. Three companies have been given licenses. Whenever
[00:22:22] the government decides on a revenue-based fee system, they will be allotted
[00:22:25] spectrum. Which is to be expected. They have recognized it, but
[00:22:29] recognized it late. That's the problem, right? They recognized
[00:22:32] it late. Now Elon Musk is Elon Musk. You cannot
[00:22:36] deny Elon Musk. Look, consumers will benefit.
[00:22:40] The government does not want the common man to benefit. That's
[00:22:44] all there is to it. They like American businessmen very
[00:22:47] much, because they are doing all these things for
[00:22:51] America. So these things are decided, right? If
[00:22:54] you are opposing businessmen, then oppose all
[00:22:58] businessmen. Now let me tell you that Elon
[00:23:02] Musk wants to provide his internet services, broadband services
[00:23:06] in India. But what is the truth? Elon
[00:23:09] Musk's satellite internet is famous by the name Starlink.
[00:23:12] Its name is Starlink. Musk claims that it has
[00:23:16] received licenses in 165 countries, but many countries have banned
[00:23:20] it due to national security concerns. Among the countries
[00:23:23] where it is banned are China, Russia, and Iran. China has
[00:23:27] not approved it for commercial satellite internet service, because
[00:23:31] the government has strict control over internet and telecom here.
[00:23:35] Russia has also banned unauthorized satellite communication services.
[00:23:38] Therefore, Starlink is not available here as a commercial service.
[00:23:42] In fact, Space X company's Starlink connects directly to
[00:23:46] satellites, which bypasses the local broadband
[00:23:49] infrastructure. Therefore, it is also considered a big threat
[00:23:53] to the information control system. Suppose there was a war between
[00:23:57] two countries. Satellite internet proves to be a game-changer
[00:24:00] during wartime, especially when the fiber network on the
[00:24:04] ground has been destroyed. Starlink is not banned in India.
[00:24:08] The government has also given it a license, but there are many
[00:24:12] hurdles in its commercial launch. For example, India's satellite
[00:24:15] internet market is given with strict security regulations.
[00:24:18] An Indian company is still waiting for the final security
[00:24:22] clearance for Musk's company. After security clearance,
[00:24:25] it will be allotted spectrum.
[00:24:38] The news should not only be fast, but also correct.

[00:27:48] were true, then not just questions,
