[00:05:53] Cuba's internal management. Cuba faces worsening energy and
[00:05:57] economic crisis. The power shortages have also disrupted water supplies and
[00:06:01] mobile networks as economic crisis has pushed more Cubans into

[00:12:48] Pakistan TV team is here at the Beijing Capital International
[00:12:51] Airport.
[00:12:58] Pakistan tv is right now reporting live from the great hall the people
[00:13:01] here in China's capital
[00:13:03] Beijing.
[00:13:11] Pakistani delegation led by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and chief of defense
[00:13:14] force field marshal Assim Munir have now departed
[00:13:18] from the great hall the
[00:13:20] people.
[00:13:27] very significant mous will be signed in this
[00:13:31] important
[00:13:32] meeting,
[00:13:48] we are at the jinna convention center and just not me, this is
[00:13:52] me, sana and of course our channel. As the
[00:13:55] Islamabad talks comment today, Prime Minister Mohammad Shahbas Sharif held a key
[00:13:59] meeting with US Vice President JD vans in
[00:14:01] Islamabad
[00:14:14] you about about the Pakistani role, especially good, we love Pakistan,
[00:14:18] thank you. In the region, Iranian leadership
[00:14:21] and I have no...
[00:14:25] second thought about the fact that the man of
[00:14:29] peace, it was Pakistan who made sure that the 47 year
[00:14:33] old conflict
[00:14:34] and
[00:14:42] the way he praised the role of Prime Minister Shahbas
[00:15:09] I'm here at Gina Convention Center Islamabad Pakistan's water
[00:15:13] strategy is clear. When river crosses borders, cooperation
[00:15:16] becomes just as important as the water
[00:15:19] itself.
[00:15:24] From the heart. of South Asia to the cross roads of central Asia, from the turbulent middle
[00:15:28] east and North Africa to the power corridors the west. I
[00:15:32] think
[00:15:32] that the proxy situation is very
[00:15:35] problematic ' for the
[00:15:39] US, for Israel, for Iran, the Gulf
[00:15:42] states, um, for the world at large, this
[00:15:46] conflict could expand, that's what Pakistan and
[00:15:50] Kutter are trying to prevent, Israel wants the
[00:15:54] land of Palestine without the Palestinian people, and that is
[00:15:58] why we see the situation in
[00:16:02] Gaza being getting getting worse, field
[00:16:06] Mar
[00:16:06] and Oman have have. the channel open when nothing else was working, and that matters, and
[00:16:10] of course the cease fire came through Islamabad. gender
[00:16:14] persecution is already crime against humanity under the Rome
[00:16:17] statute, and the international criminal court has issued
[00:16:21] arrest warrants for the two top taliban
[00:16:24] leaders. and Sheik Khakani, who is the
[00:16:28] chief justice. I suspect that the Canadians are going
[00:16:32] to pressure on areas that will cause lot of
[00:16:36] discomfort. to the Americans as they're coming into the midterm
[00:16:40] elections in November. Iran's declaration that it does
[00:16:44] not intend to produce a nuclear weapon is
[00:16:47] politically relevant, but declarations alone cannot
[00:16:51] resolve the security dilemma. Iran has always said it's prepared to
[00:16:55] continue the conflict, but it's clear that it preferences for this war to end.
[00:16:59] The US and the Trump administration I think is the same. So there is alignment, but
[00:17:03] obviously the problem has been how we get
[00:17:05] there.
[00:17:18] you about about the Pakistani role, especially
[00:17:21] good, pakistan, thank you. how have the Iranian leadership
[00:17:25] rule being so far? i think they
[00:17:28] genuinely mean in the region iran
[00:17:32] leadership and i have
[00:17:36] no... thought about the fact that
[00:17:40] the man of
[00:17:40] beast.
[00:18:41] Hello and welcome to experts corner, this is Mahin
[00:18:43] Joffrey.
[00:18:48] Pakistan is there and it was mediator between
[00:18:52] it and the United States, so this this
[00:18:56] gives this defense agreement diplomatic
[00:18:59] angle. Saudi Arabia, got all these countries are going to find
[00:19:03] alternative roots for the energy
[00:19:05] exports. States not only because it's
[00:19:09] spending in front the new term elections, but also
[00:19:13] a general strategic context should
[00:19:16] seriously recess its policy
[00:19:20] towards Iran.
[00:19:21] I mean, Iran and Oman can negotiate, and countries like Pakistan
[00:19:25] and Carter and Turkey have been helpful in trying to mediate some type
[00:19:29] of resolution here, but again as I said earlier, I believe
[00:19:33] right now the Trump administration has nearly zero patients for
[00:19:36] so-called negotiations with the Iranian regime? well,
[00:19:40] certainly the war has not proven to be as uh
[00:19:44] quick or as decisive, as the president initially
[00:19:48] suggested, seniors are coming back, but still fighting for their right,
[00:19:52] are not accepting, india should be declared a country
[00:19:56] of particular
[00:19:56] concern.
[00:20:11] Education has become the latest casualty of Hindutva
[00:20:14] politics as Muslim students are punished for excelling in
[00:20:18] Indian occupied Kashmir. Fascist Modi regime has shut down a
[00:20:22] medical college in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and
[00:20:25] Kashmir after the first bat saw saw an overwhelming
[00:20:29] number of admissions of Muslim students, right-wing Hindu
[00:20:33] groups fueled by extremist Hindutva ideology under Prime Minister
[00:20:36] Modi. demanded that the college should admit only Hindu
[00:20:40] students. The admissions to the medical college were finalized after
[00:20:44] India's national entrance examination test.
[00:20:47] Legislators the Ruling BJ. he even petitioned the lieutenant
[00:20:51] governor to enforce religious discrimination, and so on the 6th of
[00:20:55] January, the National Medical Commission revoked the college's recognition
[00:20:59] citing alleged deficiencies, move widely criticized as
[00:21:03] capitulation to religious extremists, rather than genuine
[00:21:07] educational concerns. Chief Minister of Indian illegally occupied
[00:21:11] Jammu and Kashmir Abdullah condemned the BJP and its allied
[00:21:14] Hindu groups for targeting Muslim students, saying that the campaign had
[00:21:18] destroyed the future of a... firing doctors in Kashmir.
[00:21:22] Nasir Kuhihami the Jammu and Kashmir students association warned
[00:21:25] that framing education as Hindu versus Muslim was
[00:21:29] dangerously communalizing the sector. He stressed that institutions
[00:21:33] run by Muslim bodies across India do not exclude
[00:21:37] Hindu students. Naser termed religious segregation in the
[00:21:40] education as both discriminatory and deeply harmful
[00:21:44] to social cohesion. The closure the medical college
[00:21:48] further exposes the growth. influence of Hindutva politics in
[00:21:52] Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, raising
[00:21:56] serious questions about fairness, equality and the right of
[00:21:59] Muslim students to access
[00:22:01] education.
[00:22:06] Hello and welcome to onfold, I am. We saw
[00:22:09] earlier, the exchange rate has become considerably more stable, the
[00:22:13] external account has become more manageable. The interest rate on on
[00:22:16] treasury bonds or the yield
[00:22:26] countries and globally that America can be a friend, but if there is a choice
[00:22:30] between Israel and any particular country then America would always prefer
[00:22:33] Israel. the the atrocities or the crimes committed against the
[00:22:37] Palestinian people have started long before 2023.
[00:22:41] after the embarrassing debacle that India faced after
[00:22:45] Mark last year, this could
[00:22:48] help you know... attempt to
[00:22:51] repair the moral the armed forces, it has been clearly
[00:22:55] indicated from the Russian side that peace cannot be
[00:22:59] pushed forward, it can be softly and smoothly
[00:23:03] promoted, so it should be treated in very careful
[00:23:06] way, um, the economic, the clock for
[00:23:10] economic collapse and political collapse, collapse, these are
[00:23:14] really two
[00:23:26] is a NATO, not the NATO member, but it's affect to the NATO
[00:23:30] and the European security. is the conflict, because I think under the current
[00:23:33] circumstances, it's virtually impossible to
[00:23:37] end the Ukraine war, to force Moscow and Kiev
[00:23:41] to sign peace
[00:23:42] deal.
[00:23:53] Afghanistan remains a central hub in the global truck
[00:23:57] trade. According to the UNODC 2025 report,
[00:24:01] it produced 433 tons of opium in
[00:24:04] 2024, nearly 20% the global
[00:24:07] supply. Despite a temporary drop after the
[00:24:11] 2022 ban, cultivation rose again by
[00:24:15] 19% in 2024. Trafficking networks
[00:24:18] stayed active. Opium prices of
[00:24:21] $750 per kilogram reflect the continued
[00:24:25] demand and functioning smuggling routes. According to the world
[00:24:29] drug report 2025, total global opium
[00:24:32] production in 2024 reached
[00:24:35] 2,140 tons. Myanmar led with
[00:24:39] 995 tons, which is 46%, followed
[00:24:43] by Afghanistan at 433 tons, which is
[00:24:46] 20%, while Mexico and Colombia produce small.
[00:24:50] shares. These figures highlight that despite bads and
[00:24:54] crackdowns, the global opium trade remains deeply
[00:24:57] entrenched with regional networks adapting and
[00:25:01] expanding. Moreover, an cartels are shifting from
[00:25:05] plant-based at drugs to synthetics like crystal meth, which
[00:25:09] are cheaper to produce and easier to hide, and harder to
[00:25:12] detect, showing that
[00:25:14] the threat is moving from fields
[00:25:16] to laboratories, spreading globally, but Pakistan. is
[00:25:20] actively countering this threat under the national
[00:25:23] anti-narcotics policy 2019 and backed by the laws like
[00:25:27] the control of narcotics substances act
[00:25:30] 1997. Pakistan's anti-narcotics force
[00:25:34] ANF conduct extensive operations in
[00:25:37] Baluchistan, KP and SIN. Using drones,
[00:25:40] satellite imagery and modern agricultural methods.
[00:25:44] Pakistan eradicates poppy crops even in remote
[00:25:47] areas. In 2024-2025. alone Pakistan cleared
[00:25:51] hundreds of hectares of puppy fields, dismantled
[00:25:54] 419 illegal waterboards, destroyed
[00:25:58] 64 solar systems and repatriated
[00:26:01] 110. foreign traffickers, national seizures
[00:26:05] exceeded a 361 metric tons of narcotics
[00:26:08] worth billions, cutting off major supply lines,
[00:26:12] with technology driven surveillance, corridor
[00:26:15] intelligence and the interagency coordination,
[00:26:19] pakistan maintains its puppy free status since
[00:26:23] 2001. the country is not just protecting its borders,
[00:26:27] it's safeguarding the region and the world. Afghanistan may be
[00:26:30] the source, but Pakistan. is the shield, leading the fight
[00:26:34] against narcotics and ensuring safer, drug free
[00:26:38] future.
[00:26:45] pakistan's geography is very strategic, very
[00:26:49] important, it connects multiple regions. we are
[00:26:53] a higher platform, a higher pedestal. this new
[00:26:56] phase in which we are now a mutual defense
[00:26:59] agreement brings together two the... muslim world's
[00:27:03] strongest militaries and military capabilities which are Pakistan and
[00:27:07] Turkey Gaza situation is even more
[00:27:10] preturbing and it doesn't seem that I
[00:27:14] mean the the current sort of Israeli actions
[00:27:17] there, I mean they are not willing to relinquish sort the
[00:27:21] territory that they have occupied, if President Trump is able to get
[00:27:25] this kind of this armament to take place in in in in
[00:27:28] Gaza uh this would be huge victory for him. but it's
[00:27:32] a matter of bringing bringing the Israeli Israel to the
[00:27:36] table who's already rejected this kind of us back road map. the fact that
[00:27:40] the Israeli military and government and militia and
[00:27:44] illegal settlers are kind of collaborating to take away these lands
[00:27:48] and occupy them and settle them with Israelis. these
[00:27:52] deployments are very demanding both on the equipment and on the
[00:27:55] crew. uh there are uh roughly
[00:27:58] 4,800 personnel aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln if you
[00:28:02] include the ship's crew and the air wing um and they have been at
[00:28:06] sea now for uh nine months continuously. Iran
[00:28:10] tends to play the game, what we say, they continue the dance. The
[00:28:14] United States wants Iran to come to the table and they're making concessions to get Iran to come to
[00:28:18] the table and Iran's making demands for additional concessions to get
[00:28:22] to the
[00:28:22] table.
[00:30:09] Hello and welcome to Pakistan tv live from Islamabad studios i
[00:30:13] ams andkani. Let's have look at the
[00:30:14] headlines.
[00:30:28] Iran sets conditions for reviving the negotiations with the United States
[00:30:31] including bring an end to the war, release the frozen funds and an
[00:30:35] end to the naval
[00:30:36] blockade.
[00:30:41] Pakistan's deputy prime minister and the foreign minister stresses the
[00:30:45] importance of uninterrupted energy supplies and safe and expeditious
[00:30:49] passage of ships, particularly given the implications
[00:30:53] for the developing countries in the global supply
[00:30:55] chain.
[00:30:59] So there.
