[00:01:06] A very good morning to you from Tehran a Bahman Nuray and this is Press TV news. It [00:01:10] is 10:30 am local [00:01:14] of of time. Iran's president says the straight of [00:01:16] of Hormus would open within the [00:01:17] of framework of international law if the US stopped its acts of aggression against the [00:01:21] Islamic Republic. was speaking an interview with [00:01:24] India today network. He added that Iran and Oman have reached [00:01:28] an understanding on his specific framework for the [00:01:31] a straight and informed the international maritime organization of that [00:01:34] understanding. Pesishgan [00:01:36] of reiterated that it was not Iran that started the war, but the enemy attacked the [00:01:40] country with no justification and marted the leader, top [00:01:43] commanders, nuclear scientists and ordinary people, [00:01:46] of including of many children, he spress that Iran has only defended itself adding [00:01:50] that there is no justification on an international level for the [00:01:54] enemy's actions. Ellsway in his remarks said Iran [00:01:58] has no problem, countries should not... allow the enemies to use their [00:02:01] territories to attack [00:02:02] Iran. Iran's [00:02:06] top security official has slamed US President Donald Trump's [00:02:10] contradictory positions on [00:02:11] in negotiations with Iran, saying his remarks are aimed at swaying global [00:02:15] energy [00:02:16] of prices. Secretary of Iran Supreme National Security [00:02:20] of Council in Major General Mosen Rezai made the comment [00:02:22] in a social media post. Razi said the world should not be distracted [00:02:26] by the US president's mix signals from no negotiations. we are [00:02:30] ready to talk, stressing that the stakes around oil and straights have [00:02:35] of changed. Razi was alluding to Iran's full control over the straight of hormous and [00:02:38] yemeny armys control [00:02:40] of the Babel Mandap [00:02:41] of straight, both of which are vital energy export roots for two [00:02:45] global markets. Razi stressed that there will be no talks until Iran's [00:02:49] conditions are met and this position is definitive, his [00:02:52] comments came after Trump said the US is open to engaging with Iran [00:02:56] a peace agreement. Trump's remarks [00:02:59] of contradicted his earlier. statements in which he said talks between Iran and the [00:03:03] of US were neither taking place nor scheduled alleging that the straight of [00:03:06] homoz is [00:03:10] of open. Iran's [00:03:11] of IRGC says it has shot down a US MQ1 drone over the straight [00:03:15] of hormus. In a short statement, the IRGC said the air defense [00:03:19] system of its air space targeted and destroyed a drone [00:03:23] in western parts of hormoz. Iran's armed forces have shot down [00:03:27] scores of American drones and other aircraft in. including MQ9 [00:03:31] Reapers since the [00:03:32] of imposed US Israel war on Iran began in February. Some days [00:03:36] ago Iran also seized the US military underwater drone in the hormou [00:03:43] in straight. The 70th general conference [00:03:45] of the International Atomic Energy Agency commenced at the UN headquarters [00:03:49] in Vienna on Monday. Iran is taking part in the conference to, [00:03:53] but the head [00:03:54] of the delegation Muhammad Islami was unable to attend. The [00:03:57] reason because the host country Austria. invoked his visa over the [00:04:01] weekend, press tv's detarinish [00:04:03] of reports from [00:04:03] Vienna. [00:04:08] The 70s General Conference [00:04:09] of the International Atomic energy agency started with [00:04:12] a diplomatic scandal. Mohammed [00:04:14] of Islami, head [00:04:14] of the atomic energy organization of Iran who led the country's [00:04:18] delegation was spared from the conference. Under pressure from [00:04:22] the United States, the UN and Austria revoked his [00:04:25] of visa to enter the European Union, although he had been issued valid [00:04:29] Shengen. weeks [00:04:30] of earlier, the conference started with a protest note from [00:04:34] Iran. Mr. President, finally, the denial of [00:04:38] access of head of delegation to the conference [00:04:41] constitutes [00:04:42] a clear abuse of power and process by the host [00:04:46] of country. It further undermine Austria's overall [00:04:50] standing as host of [00:04:52] of international [00:04:53] of organizations an impartial and professional [00:04:57] manner and accordingly affected. [00:05:00] of and positions of member state cannot be [00:05:03] justified, there is cannot be justified, there is [00:05:07] no legal basis for it, similar comments echoed [00:05:11] by the Russian. The [00:05:15] Republic of Austria has grossly violated its obligations under the agreement with the [00:05:19] IAEA regarding the headquarters the agency in Vienna by withdrawing at the [00:05:23] last moment, Mr. Aslami's visa, which had already been issued. Such [00:05:27] confrontational steps can only further aggravate the already difficult state of affairs in [00:05:31] relations between Teran and the IAEA, which has resulted from the U.S. [00:05:34] Israeli aggression against Iran's nuclear facilities under agency safegards. The [00:05:38] Iranian delegation is now headed by Mr. Islami's deputy. [00:05:42] political pressure being exerted upon the [00:05:46] hosting country austria Austria [00:05:50] to prevent [00:05:53] the travel [00:05:55] of Islami to come to [00:05:59] Vienna, so this is of [00:06:02] course violation the commitment which the [00:06:06] hosting country has when when you are preventing [00:06:10] the head of delegation to come to [00:06:13] participate a annual conference, it is of [00:06:17] course misusing your [00:06:19] political of course capacity. several [00:06:23] delegations criticized the behavior the US and Austria in their [00:06:26] speeches. diplomatic sources told us that Iran, Russia, China and [00:06:30] several other states are expected to issue a joint statement to the channel [00:06:34] conference in the coming days. several days after adopting [00:06:38] a new anti-Iran resolution at the IEA. [00:06:42] of governors, Austria revoked the visa of Iran's [00:06:46] nuclear chief. The first day the general conference [00:06:50] highlighted the agency's deepening divisions with the [00:06:54] US and its European allies on one side and the [00:06:58] majority the rest the world on the other. Under [00:07:01] director general Rafael Grossi, the IEA has [00:07:05] shifted from a technical party towards a political [00:07:08] tool which critics say is being misused. [00:07:13] by the US and its allies, the rinish for breast tv from [00:07:16] headquarters in Vienna. [00:07:20] Theita has also interviewed former IAEa Chief [00:07:24] Inspector yusri abushadi about Austrias move to revoke the [00:07:28] visa the Iranian nuclear chief. Let us take a [00:07:31] listen, [00:07:35] very bad for Austria, first of all, I'm very unhappy really that this is [00:07:39] the first time to happen in Austria that they withdraw. [00:07:42] visa for political reason and not [00:07:45] allow the head the mission and the [00:07:49] vice president of Iran to come to attend the [00:07:53] general conference. this something didn't happen except [00:07:57] in New York when the US [00:07:59] sometimes prevented [00:08:02] some politician to come to the United [00:08:06] nation which is in violation of all the international [00:08:10] laws. the interpretation the Austrian. [00:08:13] delegate was actually very poor to [00:08:16] say that they checked with the security [00:08:20] council for the sanctions and there was [00:08:24] a misunderstanding away they [00:08:27] think that there is a sanction which is not [00:08:31] and that is why they took this decision that was very [00:08:34] weak the Iranian and actually the russian [00:08:38] delegation replied to that and of course denounce. [00:08:43] "the false declaration the Austria, they assess [00:08:47] that there is a sanction, which actually there was no sanction, sanction [00:08:51] ended in October last year [00:08:53] formally, and there was no really [00:08:57] clear reason except political pressure to prevent the [00:09:01] delegate from coming, and that give very bad [00:09:04] image about Austria, and Austria is not [00:09:08] just follow to follow what US says." [00:09:13] and it should have [00:09:14] independent. At least three [00:09:18] civilians have been killed in the latest Saudi air strikes on two Yemani areas [00:09:22] in southwestern province of Thaiz. The Yemani health [00:09:25] Ministry said two the victims were children. Saudi fighter jets [00:09:29] also bombed the government in the Khadir district of Thais. The [00:09:33] province has [00:09:34] been a focus of Saudi Air strikes over the past days and meanwhile [00:09:37] Yemen's armed forces launched a large scale missile and drone strike [00:09:41] that heavily. damaged Saudi Arabia's king Khalid airbase in [00:09:45] Hames Musheit. They wont of broader operations if the Saudi [00:09:48] aggression continued. Ansarullah also said it has captured [00:09:52] additional strategic islands in southern Red [00:09:55] Sea. [00:10:04] As we have been reporting, protests have erupted across several Syrian [00:10:08] cities following a sharp increase in fuel [00:10:10] prices. [00:10:25] If nothing changes, there will be another revolution. These are our [00:10:29] demands, and this is our right. We did not revolt to remove an [00:10:33] oppressor, only to have someone even more oppressive take his place. We [00:10:37] rose for dignity and for everything. We are the ones who put them in [00:10:41] power today. We gave our sons and shed our blood. Then, when they took [00:10:44] power, did they forget us? They forgot us and forgot the entire Syrian [00:10:48] people. The [00:10:52] Syrian regime raised diesel prices. up to 40% and petrol [00:10:56] prices by 28% on Sunday, prompting [00:10:59] demonstrators to burn tires and block major roads. [00:11:03] Protests were reported in IDlip, Aleppo, Ham, [00:11:06] therazour and Racca, including along the Damascus, Aleppo, [00:11:10] international highway. The regime has blamed higher global energy [00:11:14] costs and an overhaul the Banias refinery for the [00:11:18] increases. The protest come despite hopes that economic conditions [00:11:21] would improve following the lifting of US sanctions in. on [00:11:25] Syria, for more on this, [00:11:29] I'm now joined by Ryan Dawson, geopolitical analyst joining us from Saul in South [00:11:33] Korea, very good to have you on this news bulletin, how significant [00:11:37] is the geographical spread these protests from at Lib [00:11:40] and Alepo to hama de Razor and Braka, and what does it tell us [00:11:44] about the depth of Syria's economic [00:11:47] crisis? [00:11:50] Unfortunately for Syria has been one economic crisis after [00:11:53] another and Gilani's price hikes of 40% [00:11:57] and 28% do not reflect that there is global [00:12:01] turmoil so but he has exacerbated this far worse by putting these [00:12:05] prices up you have the bonitas refinery it's going to be offline for about [00:12:08] three months you have of course the conflict with [00:12:12] Iran and the conflict with yemen closing off and dab which [00:12:16] affects oil pr which affects oil prices and you have [00:12:20] Ukraine striking Russian oil refineries which is reduced [00:12:23] exports from Russia. which is a good chunk of serious oil [00:12:27] imports, however, all of that combined does not account [00:12:31] for a 40% increase in diesel, that is something the government [00:12:35] decided to do its own, it's extortion [00:12:39] camouflaged as reacting to global politics when it is [00:12:42] far that gap is far exceeding the price [00:12:46] increase in diesel from other factors. [00:12:50] right, exactly, that's that brings me to my next question, the Syrian [00:12:53] government attributes... the fuel price increase to higher global [00:12:57] energy costs and the overhaul at the banias [00:13:00] refinery. to what extent do you see them as um genuine [00:13:04] economic pressures and how much the public reaction is about [00:13:08] broader dissatisfaction with the governments economic [00:13:11] policies? well, with Banias [00:13:15] offline, Syria can only produce about a third of [00:13:18] its oil consumable factors are contributing to the oil [00:13:22] price hikes and diesel fuel hikes. but 40% and [00:13:26] 28% greatly exceed that, it it doesn't cost that much to [00:13:30] get diesel, this is the government using the [00:13:33] pretext of a global event for extortion the [00:13:37] public, and these protests come [00:13:41] after the lifting of us sanctions when many [00:13:44] Syrians were expecting um life situations and [00:13:48] living conditions to improve um, could the fuel price hikes [00:13:52] undermine public confidence in the promise? economic [00:13:55] recovery, of course, fuel is tied to [00:13:59] everything else, anything that use is transportation, delivering food, [00:14:03] delivering clothing, retail, it all comes through, even [00:14:07] the mail, everything's going to cost more when you raise the price of diesel and [00:14:10] gasoline, their standard of living is going to bottom out, they can't [00:14:14] sustain this for three months and i honestly don't think that is going [00:14:18] to come back online, the maintenance of three months, this is what the government [00:14:21] says, see how long it really takes is devastating for [00:14:26] Yeah, and the other thing is, how quickly can sanctions relief [00:14:29] translate into tangible improvements in people's daily [00:14:33] lives, um, particularly when Syria continues to face [00:14:37] damaged infrastructure, limited energy capacity and [00:14:41] severe economic [00:14:41] constraints. [00:14:45] Lifting sanctions should have had more of an impact than it did, the problem is in [00:14:49] Syria, most the government positions were handed out based on [00:14:52] nepotism, there's a lot of incom. and there's a lot of scaming off the [00:14:56] top, [00:14:57] it is a outgrowth of ISIS, that's what [00:15:00] HTS is, these aren't the most honest administers of government, [00:15:04] and they're squandering the money, they're pocketing the money, sometimes they're [00:15:08] fighting with each other, a piece of syrial [00:15:11] of Syria has been annexed by the Israelis, so they're losing [00:15:14] territory, and their government is just filled with waste and [00:15:18] nepotism, so lifting the sanctions doesn't matter when your [00:15:22] government has that level of corruption because the... steal whatever money comes [00:15:26] in anyway and the other question is could these protests [00:15:29] remain um primarily economic or do they have [00:15:33] the potential you think do they have the potential to develop into? [00:15:37] broader political challenge for the Syrian government, particularly if [00:15:41] fuel prices continue to [00:15:43] rise. the problem is, it's [00:15:47] basically dictatorship. um, it's going to [00:15:50] be violence is what it's going to happen, the process right [00:15:53] now or there has been a little bit of violence, but this is going to get out of [00:15:57] control. they plan on sustaining this for three months [00:16:00] a 40% hike on diesel, it's not that people just don't want to pay [00:16:04] more, it's that they can't pay anymore. [00:16:07] and so when you get to that point uh, you're going to see [00:16:11] violence in Syria again. Right, indeed, [00:16:15] a pleasure to talk to you Ryan Dawson, geopolitical analyst, joining us [00:16:19] from Saul. The Palestinian Health [00:16:23] Ministry warns that Gaza's healthcare system is facing an imminent threat [00:16:27] to of collapse due to severe fuel shortages and made Israel's [00:16:31] ban on the entry of humanitarian aid, according to the ministry, fuel [00:16:34] reserves across 13 private health facility. in Gaza are [00:16:38] close to total depletion, threatening to stop critical, [00:16:42] surgical maternity and trauma services would have wounded. The [00:16:46] ministry said private health facilities have been informed that their fuel [00:16:49] supplies will be cut off as of September the 19th, which will [00:16:53] have catastrophic consequences for patients. It called an [00:16:56] international organizations to interven immediately, stressing that [00:17:00] ensuring access to healthcare is a right guaranteed by international [00:17:04] laws and conventions. The ministry added that Gaza's. hospitals are also [00:17:08] facing dir shortage of oxygen after 22 out [00:17:12] of 34 oxygen plants seased operation. the ministry had [00:17:16] previously announced that 26 out of 38 [00:17:19] hospitals are completely out of service and meet a worsening [00:17:23] humanitarian and health crisis across [00:17:25] Gaza. another [00:17:29] Palestinian has been killed by Israeli forces in the west bank as the [00:17:32] regime intensifies its crackdown on Palestinians across [00:17:36] the occupied terror. According to the Palestinian sources, the victim is a [00:17:40] 54 year old man was shot by Israeli forces during raid [00:17:44] in Albeira near Ramala. Meanwhile the Israeli soldiers raided [00:17:48] a Palestinian house a town north of Tulkaram forcing its [00:17:51] residents out and turning the house into a military [00:17:55] outpost. Violence against Palestinians in the West Bank has escalated [00:17:59] since Israel began. It's genocidal war on Gaza in [00:18:02] October [00:18:03] 2023. [00:18:08] Israeli officials are angured by documentary exposing the IOF's conduct [00:18:12] in Gaza. Prime Min Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu has [00:18:15] described as shocking incitement, the documentary named [00:18:19] NASA that premiered in the Venice festival. The IOF chief [00:18:23] Eal Zamir has ordered the military's top legal legal [00:18:27] official to examine legal action against the film and called for [00:18:30] investigation into the leaking of classified material used in [00:18:34] its production. The regime's culture minister also... called for the film's [00:18:38] two Israeli directors to be stripped their citizenship. [00:18:42] NASA won the special jewer prize at the Venice festival after [00:18:45] receiving a 25 minutes standing ovation. Those [00:18:49] interviewed in the documentary describe how targets in the Gaza strip [00:18:53] were selected and how many civilian casualties were factored into [00:18:57] attacks. Over 73,700 Palestinians have been [00:19:01] killed in Israeli genocidal war on [00:19:03] Gaza. In [00:19:07] US increasing opposition to the ruling Republican Party is likely to [00:19:11] translate into a midterm election when for the Democrats in the House of [00:19:15] Representatives, that means a likely third impeachment of President [00:19:19] Donald Trump, but it's likely that he would ultimately be acquited by the [00:19:23] Senate. Ramin Mazori has more from Washington [00:19:25] DC. On the [00:19:29] first Tuesday in November, the United States will hold their midterm elections [00:19:33] and by Wednesday President Donald Trump could be facing his. [00:19:37] third impeachment: if the democrats win control the house of [00:19:41] representatives, their leader has said they would not rule out [00:19:45] pursuing impeachment on day one, which is what many [00:19:48] anti-trump americans are hoping for, because it's necessary for [00:19:52] everybody, uh, we're all affected by it, not just Americans, [00:19:56] all over the world, are we're being affected by his [00:20:00] insane policies, his horrible [00:20:03] actions, his lack of caring, his lies, "he [00:20:07] should have been out the oval office years ago, he's only there because he [00:20:11] wants to avoid to jail, he's there for [00:20:14] himself, and uh, we need to [00:20:18] have a person who thinks of the greater good, [00:20:21] not themselves. United States Representative, El Green [00:20:25] has already formally filed impeachment charges in the house [00:20:29] over Trump's violation the War Powers Act of [00:20:32] 1973, by going to war without approval [00:20:36] from Congress." However, he's not getting many Democrats [00:20:40] to support his efforts. Impeachment is not [00:20:44] predicated upon having a certain number of people in Congress or a certain number of [00:20:48] people to vote for. Uh, the rules allow any member of Congress [00:20:52] to bring articles before the House, and what is [00:20:55] interesting, the democrats who make criticize me are [00:20:59] not going to say, or they're not going to deny that the president has [00:21:03] committed impeachable offenses, so if you won't deny that he's [00:21:06] committing impeachable offenses, then you should honor your oath of office and [00:21:10] vote to impeach. Others have called for Trump's impeachment over [00:21:14] his genocidal threat to wipe out the whole Iranian [00:21:17] civilization for ordering many. war crimes such as the [00:21:21] Minab Girls School massacre, for attacking protected [00:21:25] civilian infrastructure, for indiscriminate attacks on [00:21:28] civilian neighborhoods and more. The Democrats [00:21:32] are expected to retake the house where only majority is [00:21:36] needed to impeach, but even if they also flip the [00:21:40] Senate, they are not going to be close to gaining the 67 [00:21:44] vote super majority, which is required to actually convict [00:21:48] a president. That means... any impeachment of Trump will [00:21:51] likely remain only symbolic once again. Other top law [00:21:55] makers have demanded Trump's impeachment over his daily fascistic [00:21:59] persecution of Latino-Americans and other immigrants, his [00:22:03] economic support for tariffs, and his remodeling the east wing [00:22:07] the White House. Ramin Mazahei, press TV, Washington [00:22:10] DC. And that is Rap Putis News. [00:22:14] Thank you so much for staying with us on Press [00:22:16] TV. [00:22:40] when bombs stop falling, casualty figures are tallied, names are [00:22:44] added to lists, but numbers cannot measure the lives that [00:22:47] unravel after the explosions. Wars count those killed by [00:22:51] missiles, they rarely count those who survived them and [00:22:55] may later die of brief. Yes, you heard that right, [00:22:59] brief. 31 year old sayid became [00:23:03] one of those. In the early hours of March 26, a [00:23:06] U.S. Israel strike reduced her family home a [00:23:10] neighborhood to rubble. Her husband, local football coach [00:23:14] Hussein Maliki and their two young sons, age five [00:23:18] and three were killed around them. nine homes were destroyed and [00:23:21] 24 people died from the US Israely attack. Alham [00:23:25] survived. For seven hours, rescuers searched through [00:23:29] concrete and twisted steel before pulling her from beneath the [00:23:33] debris. The fallen sofa had shielded her head from the [00:23:36] collapsing building, but her injuries were severe. Her [00:23:40] greatest wounds, however, were invisible. weeks later, a video [00:23:44] of at home standing on the ruins of her home spread across [00:23:47] Iran. In her hands was a hand. written note rescued from the [00:23:51] rubble, one her young son had written before the [00:23:55] attack. as she read it, her voice faltered. around [00:23:59] her lay the remains the life she had built. her [00:24:03] father says that after losing her husband, her children [00:24:07] and her home, she was never the same. she withdrew [00:24:10] from the world, the family in US-Israely attack, she suffered [00:24:14] fatal stroke and died. her story speaks to a quieter [00:24:18] taller war of... survivers who carry the destruction [00:24:22] with them long after the dos settles. It also [00:24:26] reflects a wider pattern of us Israel aggression across the [00:24:30] region that has left behind a deeper toll not only a [00:24:33] single moment of impact but in the lasting human [00:24:37] consequences that [00:24:39] follow. [00:24:48] July 31st 20. 26, nighttime straight of [00:24:51] Hormus, southern Iran. The United States launched a heavy [00:24:55] wave of strikes against command centers, radars, [00:24:59] surveillance systems and air defense positions across southern [00:25:03] Iran, intended to make the skies over southern Iran safer for [00:25:06] American aircraft, but just hours later, something [00:25:10] unexpected happened. An American [00:25:14] MQ9 Reaper was shot down over the straight of [00:25:16] Formus. The MQ9 is... no ordinary [00:25:20] drone. It is one of America's primary platforms for intelligence, [00:25:24] surveillance, reconnaissance, and precision strikes, capable of remaining [00:25:28] airborne for more than a full day while carrying an advanced suite of [00:25:32] sensors and weapons, and this was not the first reaper lost. [00:25:35] Since the beginning the war, Iran has taken around 50 MQ9 [00:25:39] Reapers out of operation, roughly one quarter the entire US [00:25:43] Reaper fleet, but the real story was only beginning. Shortly [00:25:47] afterward, an F-35 entered the picture. One the world's most [00:25:51] advanced combat aircraft designed specifically to penetrate [00:25:55] sophisticated air defense networks, but stealth does not mean [00:25:58] invisible. One radar may detect only faint signature. [00:26:02] infrared sensor may pick up the heat from its engines, another system [00:26:06] may detect its electronic emissions, and when the information from all [00:26:10] these systems is connected through a single network, much clearer picture [00:26:14] the target begins to emerge. that same night, the tracking the [00:26:17] F35 reached the level of a weapon's quality lock, a [00:26:21] warning the pilot could not ignore, the F-35 did not continue [00:26:25] its mission and quickly left the area, and perhaps that is the [00:26:29] most important part the story: air defense success does... not always [00:26:33] mean shooting an aircraft down, sometimes it is enough to stop an [00:26:36] aircraft designed to penetrate hostile airspace from completing its [00:26:40] mission. And now, for the United States, the issue is no [00:26:44] longer simply the loss of an MQ9 or the retreat of an [00:26:48] F35. The bigger question is, how could a network whose [00:26:51] radars and key components had been attacked only hours earlier [00:26:55] remain operational and still force one of America's most [00:26:59] advanced aircraft to abandon its mission and Incident [00:27:03] that now forces the United States to rethink not just a flight [00:27:06] path, but its entire calculation over Iran's [00:27:09] skies. The [00:27:13] equation in Iran's skies is no longer the [00:27:16] same. [00:28:15] It was April 2021 when the [00:28:18] weight finally ended. The latest version [00:28:22] the iOS operating system was [00:28:25] released so that Apple product users [00:28:29] could upgrade their devices. The [00:28:33] release of this version, as always, hit [00:28:36] the headlines in the field of technology, but there was [00:28:40] another issue too, a strange story [00:28:44] added to the significance of this unveiling, [00:28:47] story which had begone a while [00:28:51] ago. At Apple, we believe [00:28:54] privacy is a fundamental human right. So now in the mail [00:28:58] app, we're introducing male privacy protection. [00:29:02] Here's what it does: it hides your IP address so senders [00:29:06] can't link it to your other online activity or determine your [00:29:10] location, and it prevents senders from seeing if [00:29:14] and when you've opened their email. Safari leads the industry in [00:29:17] protecting you against cross-sight tracking with intelligent tracking prevention, and this [00:29:21] year we're making it even stronger by also hiding your IP address from [00:29:25] trackers. In late 2020, Facebook [00:29:29] published a text in famous American news. [00:29:32] papers to object to Apple. In that [00:29:36] text, Apple was accused of creating a monopoly [00:29:40] in the technology market and acting against businesses. [00:29:44] In one corner, [00:29:45] CEO, and the other, the [00:29:49] Facebook CEO, Mark [00:29:51] Zuckerberg. It seemed the fight [00:29:55] between Facebook and Apple had become public, [00:29:59] a fight which had started with
