[00:09:18] Yes, I am reporting from
[00:09:19] Antalia,
[00:09:31] second thought about the fact that he is the man of
[00:09:34] peace, you about about the
[00:09:38] Pakistani role, especially very good, we love Pakistan, thank
[00:09:41] you.
[00:10:02] Pakistan's uh geography is very strategic, very
[00:10:05] important, it connects multiple regions. We are
[00:10:09] a higher platform, a higher pedestal. This new...
[00:10:13] in which we
[00:10:13] are now a mutual defense agreement brings together two
[00:10:17] the Muslim world's strongest militaries and military
[00:10:21] capabilities which are Pakistan and Turkey
[00:10:25] is even more perturbing and it doesn't
[00:10:29] seem that, mean the
[00:10:31] the current sort of Israeli actions there, mean they are
[00:10:35] not willing to relinquish sort the territory that they
[00:10:38] have occupied, if president trump is able to get this kind of
[00:10:42] disarmament to take place in in in in
[00:10:45] Gaza, this would be huge victory for him, but it's
[00:10:49] a matter of bringing bringing the Israeli israel to the
[00:10:52] table who's already rejected this kind of... us back road map, the fact that
[00:10:56] the Israeli military and government and militia and
[00:11:00] illegal settlers are kind of collaborating to take away these
[00:11:04] lands and occupy them and settle them with Israelis.
[00:11:08] these deployments are very demanding, both on the equipment and on the
[00:11:11] crew, there are roughly 4,800
[00:11:15] personnel aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, if you include the ship's crew
[00:11:19] and the air wing, and they have been at sea now
[00:11:23] for nine months. continuously Iran tends to play
[00:11:27] the game, what we say, they continue the dance, the United States wants Iran
[00:11:31] to come to the table and they're making concessions to get aran to come to the table, and
[00:11:34] Iran's making demands for additional concessions to get to the
[00:11:38] table.
[00:14:15] you know
[00:14:15] with that, it's not just a special moment because the rain right, we are going to be
[00:14:19] talking about another defining special moment for pakistan, for pakistan's history
[00:14:23] and how pak San TV, the very platform we have been
[00:14:27] a part of has been displaying a credibility, making
[00:14:31] sure to gain public trust and not just simply tell
[00:14:34] Pakistan's story, but Pakistan's vision and journey throughout the globe as well.
[00:14:38] Exactly Anisha, where you mentioned that where we have seen a transition from PTV world to
[00:14:42] Pakistan TV under the auspices or the leadership of
[00:14:45] Mr. Shahze. I think what I would want to say over here is
[00:14:49] that how Pakistan TV was able to highlight the recent role in
[00:14:53] between the United States and Iran. were not just that, we played a role of a
[00:14:57] global mediator making sure when the US vice president
[00:15:00] was over here visiting Pakistan that we had all sorts of
[00:15:04] conversations and we made sure that
[00:15:06] you know that this window that we open up to the rest the world and not just that
[00:15:10] we did see how the international media kept on quoting
[00:15:14] Pakistan TV and
[00:15:16] you know addition to this
[00:15:17] you know we have been making sure that we share about Pakistan strategic
[00:15:21] location we talk about regional connectivity and trade. Pakistan's role in
[00:15:25] regional peace, Pakistan's relations with major powers, the
[00:15:29] maritime and economic importance, PTV as Pakistan's
[00:15:33] international voice, cultural and soft power and economic
[00:15:36] diplomacy. all of that under one roof, ladies and gentlemen, we call
[00:15:40] it Pakistan TV and we can't keep calm because it's the first anniversary
[00:15:44] of Pakistan TV and we really need to thank our information
[00:15:48] minister and the honorable prime minister as well for what they have given to the rest
[00:15:52] the world and it is Pakistan, Pakistanis and Pakistan
[00:15:56] TV making sure that we say no to misinformation and
[00:15:59] disinformation that to regarding Pakistan, very accurately describes
[00:16:03] because over the past year we have seen how Pakistan has entered the
[00:16:06] international debate right, so there's national events being covered in
[00:16:10] English for people across the globe, their political developments being shared
[00:16:13] across the borders through Pakistan TV, conflicts being talked about, not just at
[00:16:17] sporting victories and cultural celebrations being discussed and spoken
[00:16:21] through and shared through this very platform that we are on, making sure that
[00:16:25] through this platform Pakistan story is reaching the right audience, the
[00:16:29] journey of
[00:17:21] and Prime Minister Shaz chief has actually reaffirmed Pakistan's commitment to
[00:17:25] democracy, constitutional governance, fundamental rights,
[00:17:28] equality, justice, freedom and the rule of law on the international day of
[00:17:32] democracy, the president said democracy requires respect for the will
[00:17:35] the people, meaningful. public participation, accountable government and
[00:17:39] respect for minority view points, stressing that strong democratic
[00:17:43] institutions are essential for a peaceful, inclusive, stable and
[00:17:47] prosperous Pakistan. Prime Minister Shahbas Shiv said Parliament remains the
[00:17:50] central democratic institution and emphasizes that laws
[00:17:54] must reflect public aspirations and address the evolving needs
[00:17:58] the people, here going
[00:18:02] terms and from on we are to being some the to global developments in conflict between US and Iran. US President Donald Trump
[00:18:06] is saying that he's wants Iran to reach an agreement with Washington very
[00:18:10] quickly, while that
[00:18:11] one said it
[00:18:12] is currently not seeking negotiations with the United
[00:18:15] States of America, and this is how the talks between these
[00:18:19] two countries
[00:18:20] have been going on. Iranian officials have told news channels that
[00:18:23] Iran is not currently seeking negotiations with the United
[00:18:27] States. Exactly, and you would want to speak about Iran where Iran
[00:18:31] actually says that Saudi Arabia has asked for
[00:18:35] the cancellation of a planned meeting of regional forum.
[00:18:37] ministers in Oman. Rining foreign ministry spokes person said the meeting
[00:18:41] was intended to discuss maritime security, the rights of coastal states and ways to
[00:18:45] build a secure region without outside intervention. I said Iran and
[00:18:49] Oman have finalized an understanding on maritime routes and will consult on how and when
[00:18:53] to formally announce it. And from here on we're going to take you
[00:18:57] on about how Saudi Arabia has been responding to the hoothy attacks.
[00:19:01] Saudi Arabia has intensified its air strikes against authi
[00:19:05] targets in Yemen around Ahothi attacks. which have injured 13
[00:19:08] civilians in the south cities, and this is how the attacks of
[00:19:12] targeted civilian infrastructure and caused minor to moderate
[00:19:15] injuries, at least seven people have been injured, and exactly I would want
[00:19:19] to speak about China because China has called for restraint as well as dialogue or made
[00:19:23] hot they attacks on Saudi Arabia expressing concern over civilian
[00:19:27] casualties and damages to energy infrastructure, foren ministry
[00:19:30] spokesman told reporters in Beijing that China is
[00:19:34] deeply concerned about the casualties of innocent civilians and the damage to
[00:19:38] energy facilities, other civilian infrastructures caused by recent
[00:19:41] escalations in Jerman and the red sea, and from here on we are
[00:19:45] going to be talking about how India cannot seem to pull itself out the quick sand
[00:19:49] of shame it has brought upon itself, the brick summit being held in
[00:19:53] New Delhi has come under criticism with viral videos
[00:19:56] allegedly showing senior Indian officials displaying
[00:19:59] unprofessional conduct during speeches by foreign leaders during
[00:20:03] the Russian president Vladimir Putin's address Indian national security at
[00:20:08] was seen appearing focused on food while foreign ministry
[00:20:11] spokesperson was simply shown eating during the Indian
[00:20:15] president's remarks, the Iranian president's remarks and
[00:20:19] this is how India has shown once again how it has
[00:20:22] no regard
[00:21:12] about cricket, physical involvement, another aspect of our lives
[00:21:16] happens to be revolved around AI and computers, how is AI progress?
[00:21:20] seeing what kind of changes it is going to bring about for humanity in
[00:21:23] itself, how it has making sure to step into the realm of smart
[00:21:27] computers, super computers and super AI intelligence, which is going to be impacting
[00:21:31] all of us. so what is going to happen when this technology that we are building becomes better
[00:21:35] at solving problems, then we are at controlling this
[00:21:38] technology. the anthropopic researchers have
[00:21:41] announced that AI is making sure to establish
[00:21:45] itself and it's going to be generated a massive scale
[00:21:49] impacting. millions of people in regards of jobs in terms of technology
[00:21:53] and are able to keep up with it or is it going to be taking over our lives?
[00:21:57] we are going to be having
[00:22:36] TV is actually celebrating its first anniversary, and while we are celebrating, ladies
[00:22:39] and gentlemen, we have actually prepared a small package as to what we have achieved so far
[00:22:43] in one year under the leadership of Mr. Adil Shah Zeb, why don't you
[00:22:47] go, take a good look and once you guys will come back. We will speak more
[00:22:56] 15 marks one year of Pakistan TV. A year since the
[00:23:00] channel was rebranded with the new identity, new
[00:23:03] editorial direction and new ambition. For
[00:23:07] the past more than 12 years, this channel had been Pakistan's English language
[00:23:11] window for the world, but the past one year has brought
[00:23:15] significant changes. Pakistan TV was no longer looking only at the
[00:23:18] world from Pakistan. It began going out in the world, putting
[00:23:22] reporters and correspondents on the ground at some the events shaping global
[00:23:26] headlines from major political developments and international summits to
[00:23:30] elections, conflicts, diplomatic engagements and events of global
[00:23:33] significance. Pakistan tv reported from the spot. For the first
[00:23:37] time the channel was not simply relating international events to international news
[00:23:41] feeds. It was sending its own reporters to witness them, question them
[00:23:45] and report them, and that meant something more than expanding the channels
[00:23:49] geographical. footprint Pakistan TV started telling Pakistan's
[00:23:52] story and engaging with the world's biggest developments from its own
[00:23:56] perspective. The shift was also visible in the channel's editorial
[00:24:00] priorities. Pakistan TV increasingly looked beyond the traditional
[00:24:03] news cycle. It started bringing international developments closer to its
[00:24:07] audience at home. One year on, perhaps the biggest change is not in the
[00:24:11] name on the screen. It is the journey Pakistan TV has traveled to tell the
[00:24:15] story. From Islamabad to the world's major news centers, Pakistan
[00:24:19] TV. increasingly become part of international news picture getting
[00:24:23] quoted by international news outlets. for Pakistan
[00:24:26] TV, the first year of new identity has been more than
[00:24:30] rebranding. It is redefining what a state broadcaster can
[00:24:34] do a rapidly changing global media
[00:24:37] landscape. As Pakistan TV enters its second year, the
[00:24:41] objective remains clear, to represent Pakistan to the
[00:24:44] world and bring world closer to
[00:24:53] are very excited to be indulged in how Pakistan TV has been making
[00:24:57] sure to step into the spotlight and share Pakistan's story through its
[00:25:00] mannorisms and global audiences, to speak more about this, we are going to be
[00:25:04] talking to major general, retired Zahid Mahmoud, our defense
[00:25:08] analyst for
[00:25:28] all, I would want you to include your message as to what you would want to say,
[00:25:31] how Pakistan TV has operated as the window to the rest the world,

[00:29:33] so it's a great challenge you know around 20 you know 20
[00:29:36] days stuff is uploaded
[00:29:40] more than 13080 million
[00:29:43] 138 million tweets
[00:29:47] and you know messages are uploaded so this is the environment

[00:30:42] losing its you know popularity may be the trust may
[00:30:46] be or people don't have the time the habits which are you
[00:30:50] know you have very short time to but still the
[00:30:53] the mean the audience which is watching Pakistan TV that
[00:30:57] is increasing your social media teams is all
