[00:16:06] Let's move on. to the news from the world of sports with [00:16:56] in the fourth [00:23:44] Hindutva forces have launched a state sponsored hate [00:23:48] campaign against Muslims in India. [00:23:51] Muslims are being attacked, humiliated and murdered under [00:23:55] patternage of Modi regime. Indian authorities [00:23:59] are demolishing Muslims houses, shops and [00:24:02] mosks. Indiscriminate violence against Muslims [00:24:06] has unmasked the so-called secular phase of [00:24:08] India. World community must come forward [00:24:12] to rescue Indian Muslims from the clutches of Hindutva [00:24:15] terrorism. [00:24:27] Afghanistan remains a central hub in the global truck [00:24:30] trade. According to the UNODC 2025 report, [00:24:34] it produced 433 tons of opium in [00:24:37] 2024, nearly 20% the global [00:24:41] supply. Despite a temporary drop after the [00:24:44] 2022 ban, cultivation rose again by [00:24:48] 19% in 20. 24, trafficking network [00:24:52] stayed active, average opium prices of [00:24:55] $750 per kilogram reflect the continued [00:24:59] demand and functioning smuggling routes. According to the world [00:25:02] drug report 2025, total global opium [00:25:06] production in 2024 reach [00:25:08] 2,140 tons. Myanmar led with [00:25:12] 995 tons, which is 46%, followed [00:25:16] by Afghanistan at 433 tons, which is... [00:25:20] percent while Mexico and Colombia produce smaller [00:25:23] shares. These figures highlight that despite fans and [00:25:27] crackdowns, the global opium trade remains deeply [00:25:31] entrenched with regional networks adapting and [00:25:34] expanding. Moreover, an cartels are shifting from [00:25:38] plant-based drugs to synthetics like crystal meth, which [00:25:42] are cheaper to produce and easier to hide and harder to [00:25:46] detect, showing that the threat is moving from fields to... [00:25:50] laboratories spreading globally, but Pakistan is [00:25:53] actively countering this threat under the national [00:25:57] anti-narcotics policy 2019 and backed by the laws like [00:26:01] the control of narcotic. Substances at [00:26:03] 1997. Pakistan's anti-narcotics force [00:26:07] ANF conduct extensive operations in [00:26:10] Balochistan, KP and Synth. Using drones, [00:26:14] satellite imagery and modern agricultural methods, [00:26:17] Pakistan eradicates puppy crops even in remote [00:26:21] areas. [00:26:22] In 2024-2025 alone Pakistan cleared hundreds of hectares [00:26:26] of puppy field, dismantled 419 [00:26:29] illegal waterboards, destroyed 64. solar systems [00:26:33] and repatriated 110 foreign [00:26:36] traffickers, national seizures exceeded [00:26:39] 361 metric tons of narcotics worth [00:26:42] billions, cutting off major supply lines with [00:26:46] technology driven surveillance, corridor intelligence [00:26:50] and the interagency coordination. pakistan maintains [00:26:54] its poppy free status since 2001. the [00:26:57] country is not just protecting its borders, it's safeguarding the [00:27:01] region and the... world: Afghanistan may be the source, but [00:27:05] Pakistan is the shield, leading the fight against narcotics [00:27:09] and ensuring safer, drug free [00:27:11] future. [00:27:20] From the heart of South Asia to the cross roads of central Asia, from the turbulent middle [00:27:24] east and North Africa to the power corridors the west, what India [00:27:28] is doing is not bringing just [00:27:32] in uh WT or Indus water treaty into [00:27:34] question, in terms of setting a president, it's [00:27:38] bringing all treaties the world into into question. If [00:27:42] India wants to deny water from the Indus river to the [00:27:46] hundreds of millions of people in Pakistan, in my best [00:27:49] judgment, it will be [00:27:51] all crime and it will be a crime against humanity. Pakistan is so well [00:27:55] suited to play the role of mediator, geographically and [00:27:59] culturally and diplomatically, they understand. both [00:28:02] players and the United States and Iran have not had diplomatic relations for [00:28:06] decades, global water bankrupcy [00:28:10] report warning about what is happening around the world and like you more and [00:28:14] more basins around the world, river basins, occrifers [00:28:18] um are exhausting the the water resources beyond [00:28:22] the natural [00:28:22] replenishment. [00:28:41] Pakistan has done human work, it's been [00:28:44] absolutely remarkable what Pakistan, [00:28:47] what islamabad has been able to bring about? well, I think [00:28:51] the countries that are mediating have to keep plugging away and trying to find [00:28:55] a modus a solution. I think the first thing that has to [00:28:59] happen is there has to be agreement on the... straight of hor moves [00:29:03] buse that was the cause of this latest war. most [00:29:07] important part is going to be dialogue and i think the Pakistan [00:29:11] back door diplomacy, Qatar also, is [00:29:14] essential. India is not only destabilizing the region, India [00:29:18] has, I think it's look at this ambition, it was involved in [00:29:22] terrorist acts in Canada, the persecution of minorities in India has [00:29:26] been very, very long problem, [00:29:29] very systemic problem, systematic. persecution the [00:29:33] Muslims there, not only the Muslims but also the Christians, [00:29:37] on forces are police and scouts, [00:29:41] strangers, they are doing the very [00:29:43] best. [00:30:32] Good evening, salam alaikum, you're watching Pakistan TV, I am fahim bangish with the [00:30:36] headline news for this [00:30:37] hour.
