[00:20:00] Malaysian prime minister Anwar Ibrahim's recent comments on Indian [00:20:04] television have added fresh international scrutiny. to India's [00:20:08] attempts to link Pakistan to the Pahalgam [00:20:10] incident. PPP chairman Bilaval Butto Zardari [00:20:14] says India started a war based a lie and lost it [00:20:17] miserably while pointing to Anwar Ibrahim's remarks as [00:20:21] evidence that New Delhi's propaganda is now facing [00:20:24] questions beyond Pakistan. More in this report by our [00:20:28] correspondent Musharaf Zahor. India's [00:20:32] narrative linking Pakistan to the Pahalgam incident has [00:20:35] faced another setback. As Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar [00:20:39] Ibrahim refused to draw direct parallel between Pakistan and [00:20:43] the Pahalgam attack during an interview with an Indian news [00:20:47] channel Anwar Ibrahim categorically stated that Malaysian [00:20:51] intelligence found no evidence linking Pakistan to [00:20:54] palgam, I mean [00:20:56] none of my intelligence establishment, [00:20:59] come back and yes, there was a state sponsored [00:21:03] terrorism there, therefore I [00:21:05] as [00:21:07] prime minister of Malaysia, refer to [00:21:10] this, the comments have been welcomed by PPP chairman [00:21:14] Bilaval Butto Zardari who said India had started a war [00:21:18] based on lie and lost it. miserably.

Bilaval also urged New Delhi to honor [00:21:29] its sease fire commitments and discuss all outstanding [00:21:32] friction points with Pakistan. Pakistan has repeatedly condemn the [00:21:36] Palgam incident, rejected India's attempts to blame [00:21:40] Islamabad without evidence and called for an impartial [00:21:43] international investigation to establish the facts. The [00:21:47] recent tragedy in Belgan [00:21:51] is yet another example of this [00:21:54] perpetual blame game which [00:21:58] must come to a grinding halt. [00:22:01] Pakistan is open to [00:22:05] participate any [00:22:07] neutral, [00:22:09] transparent and credible [00:22:12] investigation.

Russia welcomed Trump's call [00:22:59] for the two sides to avoid attacks on energy infrastructure [00:23:03] as oil prices continued to rise amid the prolonged middle east [00:23:06] conflict, adding to US fuel costs and inflation ahead the [00:23:10] mid-term [00:23:10] elections.

France sited national security [00:23:50] concerns, but did not provide further [00:23:53] details.

[00:24:46] EU foreign policy chief kaya Kalalas has said. attack near a [00:24:50] train carrying European officials in Ukraine was intended to [00:24:54] intimidate western countries and discourage them from supporting [00:24:58] Kiev. Calis told reporters on the doorstep the [00:25:02] European Arctic summit in Finland that it is clearly meant to scare [00:25:06] western countries from supporting Ukraine from going to Ukraine to [00:25:10] show support.

[00:26:02] but also targeting European countries with hybrid attacks and [00:26:06] influence operations. He said he is aware the [00:26:10] arguments against continued assistance, noting that the debate is not [00:26:14] limited to Germany, but is also unfolding across the European [00:26:17] Union. He insisted that the support is necessary [00:26:21] not only for Ukraine, but for Europe's own security, and that [00:26:25] governments must hold firm until the war is over.
