[00:00:00] why are we trying to shoot down a drone that cost
[00:00:04] of
[00:00:05] of 1,000 um dollars with an anti-aircraft missile that
[00:00:09] costs
[00:00:14] of
[00:00:15] of a you know $5000 something a along those lines but in my opinion this is where it becomes strategic i think for
[00:00:19] saudi and others that the market that they could export that both
[00:00:23] turkey and
[00:00:24] of south pakistan um is finds
[00:00:28] itself very well in south. Arabia, but moreover, I think since Saudi
[00:00:32] Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan also want to develop relations more, this
[00:00:36] is now an opportunity to begin to develop the
[00:00:40] technological relations as well, and I think this is
[00:00:44] something that because they know the region best than anybody else, so
[00:00:48] this is something I think it just expands the horizons on this aspect as
[00:00:51] well, few months ago Saudi Arabia about you, was in
[00:00:55] of discussions and probably about
[00:00:58] turkish. air aircraft as well, fighter
[00:01:02] jets, and so you see the diversification
[00:01:06] of military procurement that Saudi Arabia
[00:01:08] of is
[00:01:08] of is undergoing, and this only means stronger
[00:01:12] relations with others, and this
[00:01:13] of in this case, it's Turkey and Pakistan.
[00:01:17] Absolutely. Dr. Algasan, also if we take a look at the new
[00:01:21] security order that is of course different developing every single day and now this
[00:01:25] fact, how would US look at this, is
[00:01:27] a it complementing the already US led? security environment
[00:01:31] or is it
[00:01:32] you know bringing in some kind of new design? yeah, no, no, I, I, I
[00:01:36] don't think this is anti-US or
[00:01:39] or something the United States should be should
[00:01:43] be worried about. in fact, I
[00:01:45] of think this is something the the Saudi, this is something
[00:01:48] of the United States should be actually welcome, you know,
[00:01:51] of both Saudi, all of Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan are
[00:01:55] strategic partners, strategic allies actually
[00:01:58] of for uh... the united states and
[00:02:02] to have arguably in this region
[00:02:06] the
[00:02:06] of three most
[00:02:09] of you know the three the three partners that have the
[00:02:12] most kind of weight if you like in the region
[00:02:16] to work together uh and to
[00:02:20] coordinate far more is in my
[00:02:24] of opinion uh strategic for the United States because this
[00:02:27] in means this reduces some
[00:02:28] of the burden theoretically. reduces some
[00:02:30] of the burden for the United States and this trilateral
[00:02:33] framework can then provide um options for the
[00:02:37] United States that they are
[00:02:39] of doing lot
[00:02:43] of of the heavy lifting where the United States is simply there to
[00:02:44] of to support which is what the United States and the security establishment in the United
[00:02:48] of States want but there is another side to this if
[00:02:52] the United States has actions like what they did
[00:02:55] in um in February
[00:02:59] 28th of this. year earlier this year of attacking
[00:03:02] of Iran, then I
[00:03:03] of think this is a first line of defense. In my opinion, this is it
[00:03:07] defends, it's a defense against actions taken by United States or
[00:03:11] others in the region that could complicate the security
[00:03:14] of the region, so I think here you see attempt to really
[00:03:18] take control and influence the security
[00:03:21] of the region and to make the security
[00:03:23] of the region
[00:03:27] of more intrinsic, it makes it come from within the... region rather than
[00:03:30] influenced a lot by from outside
[00:03:32] of the region right? dr.qasan, also we
[00:03:36] have discussed in detail about the role of Pakistan, it brings in new
[00:03:39] diplomatic facet to the trilateral
[00:03:41] of agreement of that you mentioned, but could it really strengthen the diplomatic weight of
[00:03:45] Pakistan as well, as we all know that the crisis and the conflict in the middle east
[00:03:49] are all interconnected.
[00:03:52] of yes, yes, yes, it's certainly does and I think it when it comes to
[00:03:55] Pakistan, Pakistan's relationship with Saudi
[00:03:59] of Arabia and... the region in my opinion i think is is is
[00:04:03] very strategic but also very misunderstood and not not
[00:04:06] a relationship that many people i think pay attention to, think
[00:04:10] in my opinion
[00:04:11] of now people will understand why and think in
[00:04:15] generally it
[00:04:18] of becomes
[00:04:19] a relationship that more and more people will begin to understand how and
[00:04:22] why, and this is i think
[00:04:24] the challenge that we have for this relationship, we
[00:04:26] of have to begin to explain why this relationship is very strategic.
[00:04:30] and what comes out of it? um, lot of people, we
[00:04:34] know how
[00:04:35] of strategic Pakistan's relationship to Saudi Arabia is, the
[00:04:39] military training that
[00:04:40] we received from Pakistan and the military presence that receiv from
[00:04:43] Pakistan, but we still need to define this more, we
[00:04:47] of still need to understand this more and we need to explain this more, and I
[00:04:51] think this is this is what's missing, and this is something that we need to work
[00:04:55] of on, right? Dr. We know that since decades
[00:04:59] golf. relied heavily on the security of US or
[00:05:03] western powers and now you just mention that it is good the trilateral
[00:05:07] agreement is good and strategic for us as well, how is that so for the gulf
[00:05:11] countries? and in my opinion, I think
[00:05:14] a more stable region, this is this is very good
[00:05:18] question, because I think for this the
[00:05:21] the the the stability of region is important, this
[00:05:25] relationship should increase the stability the region,
[00:05:28] however I think the other gulf states, why the
[00:05:32] other non saudi gulf states
[00:05:36] may may be may take some time
[00:05:39] before they join this, and the reason being is... because i think
[00:05:43] they are more than anybody affected
[00:05:46] by um being on the front line of other people's
[00:05:50] wars, and i think they will be, it will
[00:05:53] depend on how Iran sees this
[00:05:56] relationship, and in my opinion, they they simply do
[00:06:00] not want to be the front line of other people's wars, the entire region did not want
[00:06:04] to be the frontline of an American Iranian war, the
[00:06:08] small, the other gulf countries do not want to be the...
[00:06:42] them to welcome this, but at the same time they just simply, I mean this has to be
[00:06:46] understood, they do not want to be the front line of other people's wars,
[00:06:50] so I anticipate cooperation between
[00:06:53] them, we will see, we will see how Iran responds to this,
[00:06:57] this is what uh, I would say, right, thank you very much, Dr.
[00:07:01] Abdul Aziz
[00:07:02] al Khasan, Saudi foreign policy expert, geopolitical analyst for joining us, of
[00:07:06] course we would like to have you again in our show, we really appreciate your comments as
[00:07:10] well, Javat, coming to you, what is your take on the very significant
[00:07:14] trilateral agreement? this is something like a
[00:07:18] collective deterrance that the manifestation over we have seen in form the
[00:07:21] agreement and to bolster the collective security of all these
[00:07:25] three countries amid the ongoing tensions that we have seen in the middle east over the last
[00:07:29] five months, most specifically there is a one point that has already
[00:07:33] been talked about quite in detail with the earlier
[00:07:37] participant that this doesn't aim to be was giving us very
[00:07:40] clear saudi perspective and seem to be an
[00:07:43] agreement focusing on
[00:07:47] Iran, it's not anti Iran, so
[00:07:51] what the perspective that I have got with this is the
[00:07:55] bigger threat in the region is
[00:07:58] Israel, we've also seen there number of times when we have
[00:08:02] seen Iran also denying those attacks and it
[00:08:06] also pointed out categorically that there was certain false flag operations
[00:08:10] amid these high... extensions which are
[00:08:13] ongoing, so there was a categorical denial on the part the Iranians as well.
[00:08:17] now looking at the Israeli factor over here, there has
[00:08:21] been a lot of deterioration as far as the relationship between
[00:08:25] turkey and israel is concerned, there had been a
[00:08:29] lot of statements coming from both the sides, if you would
[00:08:32] allow me, i would quote those statements in quickly, because we have mr
[00:08:36] zaffar jaspal as well, i'll come back to you on this, we have been joined by
[00:08:40] dr zaffar nawaz jaspal. from Islamabad, thank you, foreign affairs
[00:08:44] expert, thank you sir for joining in, thank
[00:08:46] you, sir, we were engaged in conversation with
[00:08:50] jaw, you will go back to him, but right now, how do you look significance of this trilateral
[00:08:54] agreement? I think this trilateral agreement is
[00:08:57] very important agreement, it will be pivotal in
[00:09:01] determining the new security architecture
[00:09:05] the middle east, or you can say west Asia,
[00:09:08] Pakistan already is a part of this security setting the...
[00:09:12] middle east or you can say girlf, but with this trilateral agreement,
[00:09:16] it has been further strengthened. as you see that the multipolarity
[00:09:20] is there, there's a immense transformation in
[00:09:24] international politics, state or state was era is once
[00:09:27] again return, and in this these kind the alliances or
[00:09:31] minilateral security group grouping is unavoidable.
[00:09:35] i think turkia, pakistan, Saudi Arabia, you can say
[00:09:39] make very timely decision and they sign this
[00:09:42] Makacca defense agreement, primary focus
[00:09:46] will be on the safety the sea lines, because they have already agreed on
[00:09:50] 30 July to cooperate in this context, but at the same time
[00:09:54] fighting against the non-state actors, all the these
[00:09:58] three actors are victim the non-state actors or proxies,
[00:10:02] so definitely they are going to cooperate with each other, like
[00:10:06] sharing the weaponry, sharing the best prac practices
[00:10:10] and supporting each other and my final take on
[00:10:13] this defense pact agreement is that it will be having
[00:10:17] a political, diplomatic, economic,
[00:10:20] military, you can say dividends for all the
[00:10:24] three. of this agreement. Mr.
[00:10:28] Jaspal, how do you look at the response coming from the Iranian side as we are
[00:10:32] very clear that this is not directed against any country and this is
[00:10:36] more like a military cooperation, economic cooperation as well,
[00:10:40] technological cooperation, but we haven't seen of course the response from
[00:10:43] Iran. How are we anticipating that? I think
[00:10:47] Irani response will be very much positive because when
[00:10:51] Pakistan and Saudi Arabia science the defense agreement in September.
[00:10:55] 2025 Iranians endorse it. I have just
[00:10:59] seen some things that Iranians are not worried because there
[00:11:03] is very important thing in this context. Let me
[00:11:07] justify why I'm saying it. For instance, Pakistan is
[00:11:11] the only trusted actor in this region on which Iran
[00:11:14] trusted and we can play a role of interlocator between Iran and Saudi
[00:11:18] Arabia. Since 2023 March Saudi Arabia and Iran's
[00:11:22] relations are a positive trajectory despite. this during the
[00:11:25] war despite Iranian striking on the American basis in Saudi
[00:11:29] Arabia Saudies refrain, however Saudies are fighting with the proxies the
[00:11:33] Iran or you can say some allies of sam these kind things can
[00:11:37] happen. the third country turkey has a good relations with Iran as well as
[00:11:41] with Saudi Arabia. I think this trilateral agreement,
[00:11:44] this alliance is such as which will be a good for dering, but it is
[00:11:48] not against Iran and all the three countries are
[00:11:52] sensitive about the Iran insecurities. Definitely Iranis also
[00:11:56] realize it, I am not expecting anything that Iran will
[00:12:00] be going to question or object. Secondly,
[00:12:03] Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkia, they are independent
[00:12:07] actors for the security, especially for the safety the
[00:12:11] sealands in the red sea where their trade and everything
[00:12:15] is at stick, 12% the oil trade passes from there,
[00:12:18] and then how the new things are emerging, there is
[00:12:22] natural that these kind of alliances will emerge. and I think the
[00:12:26] Iranians will be not afraid of this. Right, thank you very
[00:12:30] much, Dr. Zaffar Navaspal, just stay with us, because we will be moving to
[00:12:34] second program, which is about the latest development of US and Iran
[00:12:38] situation, we have seen latest military confrontation, and then statements
[00:12:42] coming from Washington that there are talks with Iran, Iran publicly denying
[00:12:45] it, and then there is a homos deal as well that might be in process with the
[00:12:49] Oman as well. Dr. Zafar, how would you comment any window of opportunity that
[00:12:53] we find for diplomacy between? US and Iran in the current
[00:12:56] situation, I think the window for diplomacy is always
[00:13:00] open, they did not close it, ratorically it
[00:13:03] seems close, but practically it was there, that's
[00:13:07] why you have seen that there is a stoppage the air
[00:13:11] strike. Pakistan has been maintaining with the patience, with the
[00:13:14] credibility and firmness, contact playing role
[00:13:18] of back channel, providing facilitating both sides and
[00:13:22] preventing the further escalation of a states leadership
[00:13:26] are victim their own rhetoric, Iranians are
[00:13:30] failing to lead their own nation because there is too much nationalistic forces
[00:13:33] and leadership is shy to lead them and they
[00:13:37] wanted and those nationalistic forces are demanding revenge from the
[00:13:41] Americans and within the United States what the president Trump mercury
[00:13:45] personality he has
[00:13:47] been making one step forward two step backward or something swinging
[00:13:50] like that is a problem but my understanding is that the
[00:13:54] new whatever is emerging as i said that already
[00:13:58] Pakistan has been playing playing the pivot role and even recently when
[00:14:01] President Trump threaten that is going to use a
[00:14:05] massive power against strikes against the Iran which Iran or
[00:14:09] world has never experienced since
[00:14:10] the second world war it means that he was threatening to use the nuclear it
[00:14:14] was not explicit but explicit but implicit threat
[00:14:18] like that Saudi Arabia approach the Americans
[00:14:22] and they said that and
[00:14:24] they asked them that that give a chance to diplomacy. I think
[00:14:27] Americans are now also hearing the rational voices in the
[00:14:31] US, in the region, and at the same time, same is in the case,
[00:14:35] so I am optimistic case in the case of Iran i am very much
[00:14:38] optimistic. Dr. Raspal, we know
[00:14:42] that there's a hormos deal also underway and their negotiations
[00:14:46] going well with Iran and Oman, do you think a hormous
[00:14:50] agreement is possible without the nuclear deal
[00:14:54] or maybe postponing? it, i think
[00:14:57] that this state of mos deal, they have just said
[00:15:01] that traffic which is going inside the gulf will by pass
[00:15:05] through the Iranians and going out through the omani channel, both
[00:15:09] are working on it and oman is playing very good role in this and i think americans are
[00:15:12] also you can say part of it, not explicitly but
[00:15:16] implicitly and this will be going to mature and
[00:15:20] it's good for the Iran, it's good for the oman, it's good for Pakistan, it's good for the entire
[00:15:24] world. but when you talk about the nuclear deal, definitely there will be a
[00:15:28] start. Iranians have said that we are ready to restart the
[00:15:31] negotiations where they were ended, I mean that the baseline would be the
[00:15:35] Islamabad memorandum of understanding. "and when the negotiations start
[00:15:39] on the basis of Islamabad memorandum of understanding, certainly in the technical level
[00:15:43] the talks, the first talks will be on the nuclear, Iran's
[00:15:47] nuclear program and Iran is willing to deal with it as
[00:15:50] responsible non NPT member state, and if they act
[00:15:54] as a responsible entity member state then there is nothing left,
[00:15:58] what the Americans are demanding, Iranians have already ensured that they have no interest
[00:16:02] in the making the or manufacturing the bomb, but if Americans continue
[00:16:06] with this kind of a thing" that one day they have a peace, next day they
[00:16:09] strike on Iran, then they will be strengthening the hardliners, nuclear
[00:16:13] optimist or nuclear hawks lobby within the Iran that may
[00:16:17] be not going to permit the Iran to act as a responsible member of
[00:16:21] nuclear non profession treaty, so we have to keep in mind these things otherwise
[00:16:25] i
[00:16:25] am very much you can say expecting that once state of hamus
[00:16:29] will open as now Americans are also saying next step will be that they
[00:16:33] start talking about the negotiation and you have to recall even in 2015.
[00:16:37] when JCPO sign is acted very rationally on the table on the
[00:16:41] nuclear and they are they are still prepared for
[00:16:45] right thank you very much dr zafar nawazpal foreign affairs
[00:16:49] expert for joining our show we really appreciate your time and your comments uh fatma
[00:16:53] shahin coming to you as Mr Jaspal said that they both sides
[00:16:56] are the victims of their own rhetoric how would be move towards
[00:17:00] initiation of any kind of peace that we are expecting I
[00:17:04] think the only same way forward min here would be that both sides actually
[00:17:08] step back for Trump I personally feel that they are very limited option and this is
[00:17:11] something which
[00:17:12] you know an article which became very popular online route is rightly so highlighted he
[00:17:16] either as the option to accept this Iran and Oman deal which
[00:17:20] would of course mean you know being criticized by the domestic American audience
[00:17:24] because all this while he is actually for this illegal unconstitutional war and
[00:17:28] then if he conceeds he has nothing to show back as clear victory the option that the
[00:17:32] other option that he has is then perhaps to you know keep
[00:17:36] on attacking which he practically cannot do because
[00:17:38] you know this war has placed a very big adent onto the American
[00:17:42] budget with regards to depletion their defense sources, and then of
[00:17:46] course the third option which is somewhere in the middle way would be that
[00:17:49] you know every here and there there are some kind of skirmishes and he exer some kind of a
[00:17:53] military control on Iran and just in the hope that they
[00:17:57] would conceed one fine day which apparently they haven't did now so I think at the end
[00:18:01] the day what the Trump administration needs to ensure is that at
[00:18:05] some level they will need to conceed they cannot... Iran and another white
[00:18:09] neam and I think in this way we also need to accept the fact that the
[00:18:12] IRGC in Iran is also in my opinion being very
[00:18:16] hard in base of that one we have been reports which actually suggest
[00:18:20] that one the reasons that Iran is actually prolonging this war is
[00:18:24] because they feel that the hardline IRGC they don't want to
[00:18:28] come back to the economic issues that Iran was actually facing that to
[00:18:32] before the war actually broke out all those protests that were actually taking
[00:18:35] out so that is perhaps something that Iran needs to let go of also by the
[00:18:39] way
[00:18:40] you know to perhaps a better genlin
[00:18:42] with its gulf neighbors because
[00:18:44] you know exercising strategic leverage on state of hormos which it might have
[00:18:47] established might long term actually alienated from the gulf so I think both
[00:18:51] sides need to take a step back and then of course we can't forget the
[00:18:55] spoiler role of Israel as always despite there have been several
[00:18:59] rounds of talks the most recent being in Rome we still see that
[00:19:03] Israel has completely
[00:19:05] you know refused to withdraw until unless the Lebany. larming takes in and then
[00:19:08] lebanon has its own set of problems, the seasfire violations continue there as
[00:19:12] well, hazbullah has been rejecting the seasfire there too, so I think at
[00:19:16] some level my head all them need to step back and all them need to give the
[00:19:20] other party some kind of leverage and whatever mechanism, my main
[00:19:24] concern would be that whatever mechanism or whatever revise is samabad
[00:19:27] mou or any other mou that we do actually come up with so
[00:19:31] as to you seek a peace deal it should actually cater to all kind of
[00:19:34] eventualities which is not open to you ' different kind of
[00:19:38] interpretations coming from from different countries because we are in this poor kind
[00:19:42] of situation because clause five particularly was actually
[00:19:46] subjected to different interpretations by different countries so it needs to be very clear and it
[00:19:50] needs to have very clear and enforceable mechanisms there right
[00:19:53] right right fatma shahin thank you for your comment jaward tahami coming to you as we were
[00:19:57] discussing the makka defense agreement how would
[00:20:01] that have the implications on the overall defense architecture the middle east right
[00:20:05] now connecting to the US and war okay, so there were
[00:20:09] number of points, if you allow me to just sh of
[00:20:13] light regarding as to the significance of that agreement, this
[00:20:17] trilateral pact this has happened is already was mentioned
[00:20:20] by our friend from Saudi Arabia giving us the Saudi
[00:20:24] perspective, it is clearly not aimed against Iran, the
[00:20:28] thing which I was already referring to is the Israeli factor, looking at
[00:20:32] the trajectory the bilateral relationship when
[00:20:35] we try to ask, why we know for fact
[00:20:39] there is already a defense agreement between Pakistan and Saudi
[00:20:42] Arabia, why would Turkia become the part of a
[00:20:46] trilateral agreement and that is key question that needs to be ponded over?
[00:20:50] right now, in my opinion it is because of that
[00:20:53] deterioration the relationship between turkey
[00:20:57] and Israel,
[00:20:59] the kind of statements, the kind of condemnation that we have seen over
[00:21:02] the past few years the brutalities and
[00:21:05] the scale of atrocities which have been committed by
[00:21:09] as well in Gaza, also when we talk about the
[00:21:13] statements coming from some the top leaders, for example the
[00:21:16] former prime minister said that
[00:21:20] "Turkey would be posing even bigger threat as compared to
[00:21:24] Iran, so this ongoing conflict between the US
[00:21:28] and Iran, we know for fact, it happened
[00:21:31] because the Israel convinced US to come and
[00:21:35] jump into this particular conflict after they were done from
[00:21:39] this particular front, Turkey had assessment that it is
[00:21:43] going to be them the next target as far as the Israeli doctrine is
[00:21:47] concerned, so looking at why..." Turkey would
[00:21:51] become the part of it and also not only that the former prime minister
[00:21:54] said that it would become a bigger threat than Iran
[00:21:58] rather the prime minister sitting prime minister Benjamin
[00:22:01] Netanyahu was the view perhaps there is
[00:22:05] emergence of a Muslim alliance over here in
[00:22:09] this particular region what I foresee is
[00:22:13] also one very important factor that needs to be mentioned over here we know for
[00:22:17] fact there was reproachma between Saudi Arab. Libya
[00:22:20] and Iran and that was mediated by China
[00:22:24] a few years back, we saw both reestablished the
[00:22:28] diplomatic relations, and Saudi Arabia has navigated through
[00:22:32] this US-Iran conflict very well, very pragmatic
[00:22:36] approach and very segacious approach on the part the Saudi leadership, so
[00:22:40] they didn't want to become or to be dragged into the into this particular
[00:22:44] war, but having said that, looking at the
[00:22:47] intentions the Trump administration. that you have just alluded to that
[00:22:51] he has given some sort of an optimistic statement right
[00:22:55] now that perhaps this particular war with Iran is nearing and end,
[00:22:59] but I a personal level don't trust on the very face of this
[00:23:03] particular statement because there is back and force, sometime
[00:23:05] he is being very optimistic, sometime he is not, sometime he is
[00:23:08] threatening with very harsh ratic to Iranians,
[00:23:12] given those facts, the kind of relationship between Turkey and Israel,
[00:23:15] also that reproachment between Iran and Saudi Arabia,
[00:23:19] also... "the kind of role Pakistan has played
[00:23:23] during this entire equation gives us an understanding,
[00:23:26] perhaps it's not Iran at the end the
[00:23:29] day that that is aimed through this particular agreement, it
[00:23:33] is in the longer run, perhaps the threat is being
[00:23:37] perceived and this is the vision the top leadership of all these three
[00:23:40] countries collectively, perhaps they are viewing something
[00:23:44] beforehand what is gna come from Israely
[00:23:47] side. right, thank you very much. Javat for
[00:23:50] this
[00:23:51] you know wonderful explanation that you gave us and the kind of dynamics that are
[00:23:55] going on and of course we know that all these things the conflicts are
[00:23:59] interconnected. Thank you uh Fatima for joining us. Ladies and gentlemen, this is
[00:24:03] about the US and Iran war, not only we see latest developments
[00:24:06] everyday, but there are still gaps, there are still a lot of
[00:24:10] complications that we need to see
[00:24:13] you know getting through the entire peace,
[00:24:16] illusion the peace that we are all expecting, but right now as we were talking
[00:24:20] earlier in this program about the Makka trilateral agreement, this
[00:24:24] is the most important for today's show because not only it will be changing
[00:24:28] the security architecture in the middle east, but of course Pakistan is involved
[00:24:32] and if you look at Pakistan's role, it has been involved in the mediation has been
[00:24:36] involved in the mou in the in the peace deal in the Islamabad talks
[00:24:40] and of course gaining the trust of both Washington and Tehran involved in
[00:24:44] SMDA and now this agreement which is a collective deterence basically
[00:24:48] which is not against drawn against. any country which is not anti
[00:24:52] Iran, in fact it complements the US security arrangement in the
[00:24:55] middle east as well. This is all for tonight show it's mahin signing off stay tuned to
[00:24:59] Pakistan
[00:25:00] TV.
[00:25:33] A very warm welcome to Pakistan TV, we should have
[00:25:36] clarity when we are going on air with something with facts
[00:25:40] etc. Pakistan, both live in uneasy
[00:25:43] neighborhood to work straight away by
[00:25:46] working.
[00:25:50] They have very successfully transformed PTV world into
[00:25:54] part TV do lot and we've seen that in in in other
[00:25:57] countries as also an opportunity to
[00:26:01] deliberately. most serious the state channels
[00:26:04] and very late it should have
[00:26:06] been to walk into Pakistan television and see the world class
[00:26:09] infrastructure to see world class people and
[00:26:13] to see the quality of work that is going on. I call the term
[00:26:17] AI and just
[00:26:20] recently.
[00:26:24] I'm very proud that Pakistan TV is being quoted in international
[00:26:28] mainstream media. I hope that we will be able to make huge impact in the
[00:26:31] future as well. and we will become this region's number one
[00:26:35] channel
[00:26:51] inshallah from the heart of south asia to the cross roads of central Asia from the turbulent
[00:26:55] middle east and north africa to the power corridors the west what
[00:26:59] India is doing is not bringing just
[00:27:03] in IWT or Indus water treaty into
[00:27:05] question, in terms of setting a president, it's
[00:27:09] bringing all treeties the world into into question, if
[00:27:13] India wants to deny water from the Indus river to the
[00:27:17] hundreds of millions of people in Pakistan, in my best
[00:27:20] judgement, it will be a all crime and it will be a crime against
[00:27:24] humanity. Pakistan is so well suited to play the role of
[00:27:27] mediator geographically and culturally
[00:27:30] and uh diplomatic. they understand both players and the
[00:27:34] United States and Iran have not had diplomatic relations for decades
[00:27:38] landmark um global water bankrupcy report warning
[00:27:42] about what is happening around the world and like you
[00:27:45] more and more basins around the world river basins
[00:27:47] occrifers um are exhausting the the water
[00:27:51] resources beyond the natural
[00:27:53] replenishment.
[00:28:02] No, we were not happy with him buying oil from
[00:28:05] Russia. If India doesn't buy oil, it makes it
[00:28:09] much easier, and they're not going to buy,
[00:28:11] they
[00:28:18] they.
[00:28:53] Uh, in the last two days, however, we've seen a change in target sets, uh,
[00:28:57] this now includes bridges, uh, this now includes port
[00:29:00] facilities. and clear remark that
[00:29:04] Pakistan is the strong regional player, is a
[00:29:08] peacemaker. Yes, of course there are signs, the signs
[00:29:11] that the two sides are trying to come each other, are
[00:29:15] trying to settle the differences. People who were delisted
[00:29:19] where in Muslim majority districts of
[00:29:23] West Bengal, these are new style of Jerry Mandering that was
[00:29:27] taking
[00:29:27] place.
[00:30:09] Hello and good evening, it is 5 pm on the clock and I am Rafi Sohel with the
[00:30:13] top stories the hour. Let's have
[00:30:15] look.
[00:30:32] Primer. Shahbar Sharif leaves Madina for Pakistan,
[00:30:35] concluding his successful visit to Saudi Arabia during which
[00:30:39] Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey sign the Makka joint
[00:30:42] defense agreement. The historic pact aims to strengthen collective
[00:30:46] deterence against any act of aggression.
