[00:03:31] journalism is what Israel fears the most. when i

[00:03:54] reporter, had previously been targeted while
[00:03:58] covering Israeli. military operations in the occupied west
[00:04:02] bank over
[00:04:04] the years reports by international media organisations and
[00:04:08] associations representing
[00:04:10] of journalists in Italy have repeatedly condemned the
[00:04:14] Israeli conduct and deplored the regime's destruction of
[00:04:17] telecommunications and media infrastructure in
[00:04:21] Gaza and the
[00:04:23] of west
[00:04:24] of bank. The arrest
[00:04:29] of of a colleague in the west bank. forcefully brings up number journalists in the occupied Palestinian
[00:04:33] territory journalists in the occupied Palestinian territories and in
[00:04:36] Lebanon, the public's right to know the facts on the ground from a war
[00:04:40] zone, and the fact that Israel has
[00:04:42] of blocked all independent press access to Gaza. We have several
[00:04:46] times condemn the killing of colleagues in the strip, and we
[00:04:49] regret
[00:04:50] of that Israel has not heated our calls. International bodies
[00:04:54] must create the right conditions to
[00:04:57] of discuss of rights in war zones.
[00:05:01] of
[00:05:02] of
[00:05:12] case scenario a to we must stop all this once
[00:05:16] and
[00:05:17] for all protesters and activists have on numerous
[00:05:21] occasions strongly condemned the Italian media for showing a
[00:05:24] bias toward Israel in the coverage accusing
[00:05:28] them of complicity in laundering genocide and promoting an
[00:05:32] openly
[00:05:42] in Gaza. facing double threat Israeli attacks targeting
[00:05:45] them documenting the war and a collapsing healthcare system
[00:05:49] leaving even critically ill journalists without adequate treatment.
[00:05:53] press tv's moti abusabi has spoken to one gaza journalist
[00:05:57] who continued to document the suffering around him while battling a
[00:06:01] severe illness of his
[00:06:02] own.
[00:06:07] one hand holds a camera while the other one is stitched with
[00:06:11] a cannel. as a freelance photo journalist in Gaza, Muz
[00:06:15] has dedicated his to capturing the faces of people
[00:06:19] injuring war, displacement and
[00:06:22] loss.
[00:06:26] I have been covering and documenting what has been happening in Gaza since
[00:06:30] 2012. My motive has been to convey the message the
[00:06:33] people of Gaza to the entire world that they deserve to live in
[00:06:37] dignity and to defy the systematic blackout imposed by
[00:06:41] the Israeli. after completing
[00:06:45] his assignments, he puts down his camera and begins a
[00:06:49] personal journey through Gaza's severely damaged healthcare system,
[00:06:53] injuring long ways for medical care and struggling to obtain
[00:06:57] essential
[00:06:58] medicines.
[00:07:02] my suffering with the disease began in 2022 when i
[00:07:06] started experiencing severe stomach pain, unfortunately
[00:07:10] doctors in Gaza were unable to... properly diagnose my condition. I
[00:07:14] was medically evacuated to hospital in the west bank where doctors
[00:07:18] told me that I was suffering from Krone's disease, an immune disease that
[00:07:22] causes severe pain and inflammation in the digestive
[00:07:25] system. The disease requires
[00:07:29] biological therapy, but the treatment is unavailable in Gaza
[00:07:33] and it Israeli
[00:07:34] restrictions. As you
[00:07:38] know, the war erupted on October 7th,
[00:07:40] 2023, and I was unable to take my first dose, which
[00:07:44] was scheduled for the following day. consequently, my health has been getting
[00:07:48] worse day after day. over the past three months, I have been admitted
[00:07:52] to the hospital 13 times.
[00:07:56] Muz is among nearly 13,000 patients waiting for
[00:08:00] medical evacuation, but the situation is dia with
[00:08:03] only a trickle of patients being allowed through the waf crossing,
[00:08:07] even as his own condition warsens, he continues to
[00:08:11] document the story.
[00:08:13] of others suffering around him, like all
[00:08:16] the Palestinian patients in Gaza, I'm literally dying slowly as
[00:08:20] the Israeli regime continues to prevent us from leaving Gaza for
[00:08:24] medical treatment. Guess what, many the patients whose cases I
[00:08:28] documented passed away before their names could even be added to the
[00:08:32] list. Muz has another mission too, he
[00:08:36] has vowed to follow in the footsteps of his brother Muhammad,
[00:08:39] filot journalist who was killed in the war.
[00:08:44] My brother Muhammad was the first Palestinian journalist to be killed in the
[00:08:48] Israeli war. Since that moment, it has been very clear
[00:08:52] that targeting Palestinian journalists in Gaza was part of a
[00:08:56] systematic policy to deter us from reporting the truth.
[00:09:00] However, we will persist in exposing the true face the
[00:09:04] Israeli occupation. While he continues to document the
[00:09:08] suffering of others, why is himself becoming one of
[00:09:12] the stories he once stood behind the camera to tell he is
[00:09:16] documenting a humanitarian crisis while becoming part
[00:09:20] of it a journalist struggling to preserve the stories of others
[00:09:24] as he fights survive his own illness under the
[00:09:37] ministry of strongly islammed german chancellors anti Iran
[00:09:40] accusations saying is the US Israel
[00:09:43] aggression is knowingly distorted, the ministry spokesman made a
[00:09:47] statement in the social media post in reaction to first mues
[00:09:51] claims about what he called the Iranian war,
[00:09:55] thehrans peaceful nuclear program and resistance groups.
[00:09:58] Ism b he said it was the US and Israel the started the war of
[00:10:02] aggression and Germany failed to show even the minimum moral
[00:10:06] courage required to deploy that. He also rejected
[00:10:09] mursization of resistance groups. as Iran's
[00:10:13] proxy, he said, they are independent actors with your own courses
[00:10:17] and calculations. Bar he said those groups are fighting for
[00:10:20] self-determination, freedom and dignity against occupation.
[00:10:25] He also called the German leaders claim about Iran having a military nuclear
[00:10:29] program as repetition of Israel's big lie which was
[00:10:33] fabricated by the regimes apologizers. Vargay added that
[00:10:37] the west Asian region should not have to pay the price for German's
[00:10:40] guilt complex or it habits of appeasement
[00:10:44] visais
[00:10:44] bullies.
[00:10:49] Political commentator Saib Shard calls the German chancellor's
[00:10:53] decision to blame Iran. for the war pathetic, arguing
[00:10:57] that Iran was defending itself after being attacked during
[00:11:00] negotiations.
[00:11:04] Even the American media itself and politicians
[00:11:08] admits that today, they the one who
[00:11:11] started this war, illegal war in
[00:11:14] Iran. Iran was going to the
[00:11:18] sixth round of negotiation with the
[00:11:22] Americans when they start attack with the Z entity
[00:11:26] iran in that 12th days war, so the the whole
[00:11:29] thing is well known to the international community, but what a
[00:11:33] pathetic man comes and show how he is becoming and
[00:11:37] his country is stuges, this is very dangerous because
[00:11:40] this man now is been militarizing his own
[00:11:44] country to push it in further wars against the
[00:11:48] russians, this is
[00:11:50] in the days to come uniteds of america militarizing Germany
[00:11:54] and military... Japan as well, so these things we have to
[00:11:58] keep an eye wide open to what they are
[00:12:01] playing, so what he's coming out with, he's coming out
[00:12:05] with from background that Germany
[00:12:09] becoming more militarized and
[00:12:13] involved, Germany is part the E3, which
[00:12:16] is the supposed to be part
[00:12:20] the GCBA, the last point, and
[00:12:24] they '
[00:12:36] political analyst John says Germany is become an
[00:12:40] American colony and it cancellor understand that following
[00:12:44] Washington's policies is necessary to remain in
[00:12:47] office
[00:12:50] orders that's clear even in Washington and
[00:12:54] since his own country is an occupied
[00:12:58] military colony the United States, if he wants to
[00:13:02] keep his job, he should stop disagreeing with the
[00:13:06] government that controls his country, which is the United States.
[00:13:10] It's as simple as that the man is delusional, his
[00:13:13] own party knows that he's not representing the German
[00:13:17] people, and the German people are voting in massive
[00:13:21] groups to support the AFD alternative. of
[00:13:25] Deutschland, which is a German national
[00:13:29] party which is opposed to war and which is opposed
[00:13:33] to continuing Germany status as an
[00:13:36] occupied American military
[00:13:39] colony.
[00:13:43] The 70th general conference the international atomic energy
[00:13:47] agency is on the way in Vienna. Beyond the political debates, the
[00:13:51] conference gives researchers from members states an opportunity to learn.
[00:13:55] about the latest technological and scientifical advancement in
[00:13:59] the nuclear industry. Iran has a strong presence at the
[00:14:02] event. Press TV has report from
[00:14:05] Vienna.
[00:14:09] It's not all politics at the International Atomic energy agencies general
[00:14:13] conference in Vienna. Beyond the diplomatic delegations, almost
[00:14:16] 4000 people are attending this year's conference to share the latest
[00:14:20] developments in nuclear science. At the side event
[00:14:23] the Atomic Energy Organization. of Iran showcased the
[00:14:26] country's latest scientific achievements in nuclear
[00:14:30] medicine, in Iran actually we achieved to have
[00:14:34] the different type the solutions for the nuclear medicine for the
[00:14:37] diagnostic and also the therapy to cure the people for the
[00:14:41] better treatment and at the moment we have more than
[00:14:45] 75 different products in the portfolio the products which
[00:14:49] is the one the biggest portfolio
[00:14:52] among the producers the nuclear med. Iran operates more than
[00:14:56] 230 nuclear medicine centers, scientists are
[00:15:00] also seeking to expand the field beyond the country's
[00:15:04] borders. In the middle east we are the leader, one the
[00:15:07] leaders in the production and in
[00:15:10] supplying more than
[00:15:12] 76 different type the radio
[00:15:15] pharmaceuticals. The nuclear elements for these pharmaceuticals are mainly
[00:15:19] produced in Iran itself. Most the radio isotopes that we
[00:15:23] need as the radio pharmace. two the portfolio
[00:15:27] the different radio pharmaceuticals as a leading institution in
[00:15:31] science and emerging technologies, the atomic energy organization of
[00:15:34] Iran is committed to advancing scientific. knowledge and
[00:15:38] translating it into peaceful practical solutions that
[00:15:42] benefit society, we were on the sanction, we couldn't
[00:15:46] import this type of instrument, fortunately we
[00:15:50] are for ourself, we are manufacturing all this
[00:15:53] type of industries, in case
[00:15:57] of also nuclear power, we are
[00:16:00] advanced a lot, we are able to
[00:16:03] manufacture most part the nuclear power plants. and
[00:16:07] reactor of course research reactors, so Iran is
[00:16:11] pioneer in the field of nuclear industry despite
[00:16:14] all this sanction and pressure they have
[00:16:18] created on us. What I can tell
[00:16:22] you, the sanction has not stopped us. Iran is
[00:16:26] established itself as a leading country in nuclear science and
[00:16:29] technology. The country continues to develop its nuclear
[00:16:33] industry despite sanctions, the assassination of its
[00:16:36] scientists. by the US and Israel and attacks by the two
[00:16:40] regimes its research centers over the past
[00:16:44] year, the ranish forpress tv from headquarters in
[00:16:47] Vienna.
[00:16:51] Team now where the head the supreme political counselor strongly
[00:16:55] rejected Saudi Arabia's false claim that the Ermanian forces
[00:16:58] targeted Mecca, calling it a desperate attempt to rally the public
[00:17:02] opinion in favor the regime. Madi al-masashad said the
[00:17:06] Yemani people. demonstrated your commitment to Islamic holy
[00:17:09] sight and are ready to make sacrifices in the defense the grand
[00:17:13] mosque, just as the support laxo mosk, he added that those who
[00:17:17] gifted the covering the cabas to the late American sex offender Jeffrey
[00:17:21] Epstin are the ones who targeted Mecca and Islamic holy
[00:17:24] site. Mashad noted that instead of raising accusations against
[00:17:28] Yemen, the Saudi regime should have rallied Muslim
[00:17:32] people when the criminal US President Donald Trump insulted
[00:17:35] Mecca and depicted Kaaba
[00:17:37] an inappropriate manner, it's read that such claims no longer deceive
[00:17:41] Arab and Muslim people, just as earlier, claims about Yemen's threat
[00:17:45] international navigation failed to do so. Earlier members of
[00:17:49] Yameni Ansarullah Political Berum Mohammed al-Bukaiti also
[00:17:53] rejected Saudi Arabias accusation, saying the stem from the regime's
[00:17:56] fear and confusion over Yemen's missile and drone
[00:17:59] strikes.
[00:18:05] Arthur and journalist Robert Fantina said, Saudi Arabias attempt to
[00:18:09] gain sympathy in the Muslim world by levelling accusation
[00:18:12] against Yemen Sarulah movement will
[00:18:15] fail,
[00:18:20] the idea that Hutis would threaten
[00:18:24] Mecca any way is ludicrous, the
[00:18:28] huti regime is completely respectful
[00:18:32] the Muslim holy sites and of Islam in
[00:18:35] general, the common. about the secret
[00:18:39] covering being given to Jeffrey Epstein is
[00:18:43] very telling that the US president would give
[00:18:47] such sacred Islamic relic
[00:18:50] to a convicted sex offender
[00:18:53] shows that's where the disrespect is, that's where
[00:18:57] the the disrespect for Mecca, Islam comes into
[00:19:00] play, nothing Yemen has done that I have seen uh
[00:19:04] any way indicates disrespect or Islam or for
[00:19:08] the holy city of Mecca, that is the goal of Saudi
[00:19:12] Arab Arabian statement
[00:19:15] in in wanting to gain
[00:19:17] the the support and sympathy the
[00:19:19] other the the leaders and the
[00:19:22] populations especially the populations these other Muslim nations, but as
[00:19:26] I said I don't see that succeeding at
[00:19:28] all. The
[00:19:32] Ermenia Army says it is intercepted two Saudi F-15 fighter
[00:19:36] jets over the countries. space forcing them to flee.
[00:19:40] the spokesman for yemen's armed forces said the saudi fighter jet a taken
[00:19:44] off from kamis mohesi airbase and were flying
[00:19:48] over the port city of mocca entire is governorate.
[00:19:51] yesterday added that Yemen's air defense fired several
[00:19:55] domestically manufactured surface surfaceted missiles at Saudi
[00:19:59] F-15 fighter jets forcing them to flee before carrying
[00:20:03] out any hostille action. he noted the Saudi Warplanes launched
[00:20:07] four air strikes on Yemen over a period of 24
[00:20:10] hours, targeting Thais, Maharib and Hajja
[00:20:14] governorit. The new development came after Siri announced
[00:20:17] earlier the Yemani air defense, it shot down a Saudi F-15
[00:20:21] fighter jet over maharib governoratite using locally
[00:20:25] manufactured surface to air missile. The country's forces
[00:20:28] also down a Saudi winged long to drone while it
[00:20:32] was flying over the same governor it, creating massive
[00:20:36] pain for average. American, with inflation soring higher and
[00:20:40] higher, the Federal Reserve Central Bank has been forced to hike
[00:20:44] its benchmark interest rate, which is sure to
[00:20:47] hanger President Donald Trump. Vermen Maziharry has more from
[00:20:51] Washington
[00:20:52] DC.
[00:20:56] With the situation in southwest Asia worsening to once
[00:20:59] unthinkable proportions for the United States, the economic impact
[00:21:03] is becoming just as dramatic. US bond rates
[00:21:07] crossing 5%, the highest level since
[00:21:10] 2007, $10 per gallon gasoline in the major
[00:21:14] cities of California, with the national average for diesel gasoline
[00:21:18] a ticking time bomb. at over
[00:21:20] $6.25 per gallon, so it's just matter of time for hits
[00:21:24] everything
[00:21:25] that we get by by diesel, by truck
[00:21:28] uh, not to mention farm goods, tractors,
[00:21:32] um, it's going to hit everything, I'm
[00:21:35] retired, fixed income,
[00:21:38] you know, you make do uh, but yeah, it's out of control,
[00:21:42] household debt is at the record high, the personal savings
[00:21:46] rate near the record low, what's worse, more... pain
[00:21:50] is coming as U.S. president Donald Trump refuses to end
[00:21:54] his illegal war against Iran. The official
[00:21:58] inflation rate of 31% since just
[00:22:01] 2019 reflects the multi-year economic
[00:22:05] catastrophe for the average American. 2019 would
[00:22:09] be around 80%. Personally, I've cut
[00:22:12] back.
[00:22:14] We we eat a lot more beans and rice now than we do meats and
[00:22:18] cheeses.
[00:22:19] A lot. of my friends will not drive into DC, I live out in the
[00:22:23] country about 70 miles from here, they won't drive into DC
[00:22:26] because they they need their field to go to work, so it is
[00:22:30] starting to have those types of effects, you
[00:22:34] somebody at the gas station yesterday filled up half a
[00:22:37] tank, you stood there and talked about it and it it's it's
[00:22:41] rough, many say the problem for the United States isn't just the war
[00:22:44] on Iran, it's decades of wrong or ineffective
[00:22:48] policies regarding... imperialism in southwest Asia,
[00:22:52] hypercapitalism, and the transition to greener
[00:22:55] energy. Back in 2024, one the big issues that
[00:22:59] we were voting on was the move to clean fuel,
[00:23:02] and how we felt like that move was happening too fast,
[00:23:06] and it was creating a
[00:23:10] huge burden a lot of people that depended on their
[00:23:13] cars, to go to work and to keep our community
[00:23:17] communities filled with many of... the resources that we had
[00:23:21] been really scared about not having during the pandemic
[00:23:25] um and here we are again uh even though those
[00:23:29] in power are much cosier with
[00:23:32] the um oil and gas companies we are still being
[00:23:36] extorted it feels inflation has returned to being so out of
[00:23:40] control that the federal reserve central bank has just been forced
[00:23:44] to hike its benchmark interest rate for the first time in three
[00:23:47] years which will make bar money

[00:24:29] War takes lives, but sometimes it takes something even
[00:24:32] more cruel, the chance to say goodbye. This is story
[00:24:36] of a boy who never came home following a bloody,
[00:24:40] unprovoked war waged by the US and Israel against
[00:24:43] Iran. On the morning of February 28th,
[00:24:46] 2026, seven-year-old Makon Nasiri left home. to school just
[00:24:50] as he always did. It was his birthday, his mother helped him put on his blue
[00:24:54] jacket to keep him warm in the cool morning air. She was preparing
[00:24:58] Makha's favorite food for lunch. With the
[00:25:02] quiet excitement of a first grade boy, he walked into Shajara
[00:25:06] Tayiba Elementary School, never knowing it would be the last time anyone
[00:25:10] would see him. At 11:15 a.m. Tomaha cruise missiles
[00:25:14] struck the school within seconds, classrooms collapsed, walls
[00:25:18] crumbled, the sound of children. Reading and laughing were replaced
[00:25:22] by dust, fire and silence, rescue workers for days,
[00:25:25] parents search with their own hands, one by one, the victims were
[00:25:29] found, families were finally able to bury their
[00:25:32] children, but one child never came home,
[00:25:36] makon nasiri, his father searched through the rubble from the very first
[00:25:39] afternoon, his uncle together with relativees spent 46 days
[00:25:43] searching every corner the destroyed school and the surrounding
[00:25:47] fields, more than 100 DNA tests. were carried out.
[00:25:51] Investigators searched for anything, a strand of hair, the smallest
[00:25:55] trace that could bring certainty to a grieving family.

[00:26:02] and is directly where Macon had been standing. The explosion was so
[00:26:06] devastating that no identifiable remains were left
[00:26:10] behind. For most parents, grief begins when they
[00:26:14] lay their child to rest. Akan's family was
[00:26:17] denied even that final act of love. They were forced to bury empty
[00:26:21] grave, a grave with nobody beneath it, only a name carved into
[00:26:25] stone. Even today, Malcon's mother returns to the ruins the
[00:26:28] school. She sits quietly a piece of broken concrete.
[00:26:32] waiting in the same place where she last knew her son
[00:26:35] existed. alcan's body was never recovered. his
[00:26:39] story reminds us that the deepest wound of war is not
[00:26:43] only the lives it takes. sometimes the greatest cruelty is
[00:26:46] leaving mother with nowhere to hold her final
[00:26:49] goodbye.
