[00:01:37] forces abducted Naga, but allowed her crew to
[00:01:39] of leave, the Palestinian journalist syndicate has condemned her abduction
[00:01:43] as a wider Israeli campaign targeting Palestinian media
[00:01:47] workers. According to the Syndicate, 38 journalists have been abducted
[00:01:51] in the occupied West Bank so
[00:01:53] far.
[00:02:10] a
[00:02:15] Welcome to Press TV's news review, everybody we be discussing the issue
[00:02:18] of the abduction of uh Press TV
[00:02:23] in correspondent joining us on this edition
[00:02:24] of the news review, we have press TV's
[00:02:27] Abu Musab who's with us from data al balah also. joining us
[00:02:30] from London, we have Jewish Academic and filmmaker Heim Brish. Gentlemen,
[00:02:34] welcome to the
[00:02:34] of program to both of you. Let's start off uh with uh Moti
[00:02:38] in Deir Alba in Central Gaza. Moti, we
[00:02:42] see that the Israeli regime's policy
[00:02:45] of targeting journalists, killing them in Gaza,
[00:02:49] abducting them in the
[00:02:50] of occupied a West of Bank, similar to the
[00:02:53] of situation uh that we have with Nago as methodic
[00:02:57] a and of a systematic policy by the uh Israeli regime, tell
[00:03:01] us more
[00:03:01] of
[00:03:04] in please, well unfortunately no words could
[00:03:07] describe
[00:03:10] of of the scale of the fretality of the Israeli occupation when it comes to attacking the palestinian people in general
[00:03:14] and targeting the palestinian
[00:03:16] in journalists in particular uh let
[00:03:18] in me first of all express our deep solidarity and support
[00:03:22] uh of our colleague nakid as she was
[00:03:25] obducted by the Israeli forces and no one can deny that this is
[00:03:29] an a crime added to the ongoing crimes the Israeli
[00:03:33] regime committed day and night against the palestinian journalists aiming
[00:03:36] desperately to suppress the palestinian journalists and prevent them from
[00:03:40] reporting the truth and
[00:03:41] a no wonder that this attack targeting lakad in the
[00:03:45] of west bank uh is
[00:03:47] of inseparable from the systematic attacks that targeted the palestinian people here in
[00:03:51] gaz trib we are talking about more
[00:03:52] of than of 250 palestine and journalists the Israeli
[00:03:55] of regime has sloted since the start of this war
[00:03:59] uh till just movement and this number could rise any moment
[00:04:03] because
[00:04:03] of the systematic policy, we are not talking about a collateral damage uh
[00:04:07] regarding these systematic
[00:04:09] a targetings, we are talking about a systematic and deliberate policy
[00:04:12] impraised deliberately by the Israeli
[00:04:16] of regime, as i've mentioned they are trying by leaps and bounds to prevent the
[00:04:19] palestinan journalists from reporting the truth, from
[00:04:23] of exposing the true face
[00:04:25] of the Israeli regime regarding
[00:04:26] the ongoing and seas atrocities committed day and night against the palestine and people against
[00:04:30] the Lebanese people, against the Iranian people as
[00:04:33] of well, so it's not restricted to the Palestinian
[00:04:36] journalists here in Gaz Strip or in the West Bank as well, we are talking about
[00:04:40] a thorough policy continued by the Israeli
[00:04:43] regime uh since the start of this conflict till this
[00:04:47] moment and this as I have mentioned we are talking about a continuation
[00:04:51] of the genocidal war that the Israeli regime is waging against
[00:04:55] the entire palestinian people across all Palestinian
[00:04:58] territories. Once again, what's happening right
[00:05:01] now in the west bank regarding this abduction of our
[00:05:05] colleague is not limited to nakah
[00:05:08] herself, we are talking about a continuation of those systematic.
[00:05:12] see and this targeting and this assault unfortunately extends to
[00:05:16] reach prestiv as it is still dedicated to
[00:05:20] cover what's happening on the ground to expose the real face the
[00:05:24] Israeli regime before the eyes the entire world uh so this is why
[00:05:28] they are targeting every free voice and they are trying to silence
[00:05:32] every few every few voice
[00:05:35] that tries to tell the people what's
[00:05:39] happening on the ground here and this defies those voices, I mean
[00:05:43] defying the Israeli propaganda machine which
[00:05:46] is trying to cover the Israeli atrocities and
[00:05:50] the Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people,
[00:05:53] and no one can deny that this is another violation uh
[00:05:57] the right to uh to information, they are
[00:06:00] attacking the right the freedom of speech as well,
[00:06:04] because
[00:06:05] you know we are not talking about the first crime the Israeli regime
[00:06:08] commits against a palestinian journalist, let's not forget shirin.
[00:06:12] Let's not forget the palestinan journalist killed here in
[00:06:16] the mission, let's not forget the Lebanese journalists and
[00:06:19] the Iranian journalists were killed by the Israeli regime as well. Once again we
[00:06:23] are talking about a thorough and a comprehensive policy continued by the
[00:06:27] Israeli regime aiming to deter those
[00:06:31] palestinian journalists from reporting the truth about what's happening on the
[00:06:35] ground. Let's cross over now to Mr. Brisheith
[00:06:39] in London. Mr. Brusheet uh the uh palestinian
[00:06:42] journalist syndicate has condemned the abduction of hammed as a wider
[00:06:46] Israeli campaign, targeting Palestinian media
[00:06:50] workers. I want you to unpack that for us from your perspective. Also, we
[00:06:54] know that her detention has been extended
[00:06:58] to September the 23rd, and of course there are fears that this uh
[00:07:02] detention could be extended yet
[00:07:04] again. I'm afraid this is
[00:07:07] very likely because her American
[00:07:10] passport ' is not going to protect
[00:07:14] her when she is actually a journalist in
[00:07:17] Palestine, um, American
[00:07:20] Palestinians and other Americans have no
[00:07:24] support from the American embassy and American
[00:07:28] diplomats, um, if they
[00:07:32] are um actually trying to report what is
[00:07:35] happening in Palestine, we saw that with
[00:07:39] um a group of American um...
[00:07:43] lawmakers, members of congress that were
[00:07:46] attacked by a right-wing um,
[00:07:50] you know, group in the
[00:07:52] in the west bank uh, not three
[00:07:55] weeks
[00:07:57] ago, um,
[00:07:57] the Americans, the American media didn't even report it,
[00:08:01] so this is how Americans and
[00:08:05] American politicians are treating the citizens,
[00:08:08] let alone Palestinians of course, now um...
[00:08:12] have to we have to remember that in every genocide
[00:08:16] secrecy is very important, the
[00:08:19] nazis managed to do almost a
[00:08:22] total um blackout, of
[00:08:26] course the technologies that were then were not the kind
[00:08:30] of technologies we have now, so they've managed
[00:08:34] to do it very well, to squelch any news
[00:08:37] about what they have done, the Israelis are
[00:08:41] trying to do the... saying that they can't succeed, because
[00:08:45] Palestinians would give their life to
[00:08:49] report back about what Israel is doing,
[00:08:52] and 250 or more
[00:08:56] Palestinians already died as journalists
[00:08:59] trying successfully to report back
[00:09:03] three years into Gaza and now also into the
[00:09:07] west bank and also with Israeli journalists who
[00:09:11] seem to be... quite happy not to
[00:09:14] be allowed to go into Gaza, they are not
[00:09:17] fighting for it, and when a
[00:09:20] film called NASA
[00:09:23] um about the mass killings and the people who
[00:09:27] do them um got an award
[00:09:31] last week in Italy at the Venice film
[00:09:35] festival, the whole of
[00:09:39] Israel is now clamoring uh
[00:09:43] braying dogs for the blood the
[00:09:46] filmmakers uh, so they don't mind who it
[00:09:50] is, israelis, Palestinians, Americans,
[00:09:54] Europeans, Japanese, everyone
[00:09:58] who is trying to report about what is happening in
[00:10:01] Gaza, in the West Bank, in Lebanon, in Iran,
[00:10:05] is a target, um, actually all Muslims and
[00:10:09] Arabs are a target, Israel is now... doing the
[00:10:13] killing in three, four or five countries, depending which
[00:10:17] day you talking about, um, in South Lebanon
[00:10:21] itself, they have already killed more than 6,00 people.
[00:10:25] in Iran 10 10,00 people
[00:10:28] and we have
[00:10:30] no real figures from Syria
[00:10:33] and from Yemen, but basically this is not just about
[00:10:37] Palestine anymore, it's about Israel
[00:10:41] um fulfilling its um greater Israel
[00:10:45] plan all over the middle east, and that's why
[00:10:48] everywhere where the Palestinians and others are trying to
[00:10:51] report Israeli crimes and genocide, "they are
[00:10:55] themselves being killed, being targeted, being
[00:10:59] arrested, being deported,
[00:11:02] whatever is the right thing for
[00:11:06] whichever journalist, Israel will do it,
[00:11:09] so if we were depending on the
[00:11:13] west for um reporting,
[00:11:16] we would not know anything. the only reason why we know what is
[00:11:20] happening in Gaza is that Palestinians are
[00:11:23] reporting it."
[00:11:25] and the same is true about um the west bank and
[00:11:28] the same is true about Lebanon and the same is true about
[00:11:32] Iran. People in all those countries, in all
[00:11:36] those um Muslim and Arab cultures
[00:11:39] are um totally united
[00:11:43] in the need to report Israeli crimes and
[00:11:47] this is why all over the world millions and a sense,
[00:11:51] I think now billions are um...
[00:11:55] against Israel every
[00:11:59] month and every every week, very well, we're going to have
[00:12:03] to leave it there, thanks to press tv's correspondent
[00:12:07] in central gaza, and also thanks to
[00:12:11] Jewish academic and filmmaker Mr. Heim Brish, speaking to
[00:12:14] us from the British Capital, London. With that
[00:12:17] it brings us to an end here on this edition of Press TV's news review, stick
[00:12:21] around though, there's plenty more to come.
[00:12:32] crisis, devastating wars,
[00:12:36] terrorism, the Israeli
[00:12:39] lobby,
[00:12:42] crackdown,
[00:12:47] diplomacy,
[00:12:51] Iran changing US war equations,
[00:13:09] Welcome back everybody, iron says it has destroyed the 53rd USMQ9
[00:13:13] drone overeshm island. The drone
[00:13:14] was destroyed by the advanced air defense systems the
[00:13:18] IRGC's aerospace force operating under the country's integrated air
[00:13:22] defense network. MQ9 is a... primary unmanned
[00:13:25] areal vehicle used for surveillance and targeted strikes. This is the
[00:13:29] 53rd such drone down by Iranian forces since to start the
[00:13:33] US-Israely war on Iran. According to a Washington Post
[00:13:37] report, the US military has lost roughly 25% of its reaper
[00:13:41] drone fleet during the conflict, addition to at least
[00:13:44] 45
[00:13:45] aircraft.
[00:13:51] Iran's acting defense minister says US missile. defense systems
[00:13:55] including that and patriot have faced significant challenges encountering
[00:13:59] Iran's advanced missile and drone capabilities, brigadeer general
[00:14:03] Ibn Razzah said that until yesterday US military forces
[00:14:07] had remained confident in their weapons and military capabilities
[00:14:11] based on what he called baseless claims by President Donald
[00:14:15] Trump. He said, however, that the reality on the battlefield had shown
[00:14:18] otherwise, meanwile the commander the Islamic Revolution Guards Core Ground
[00:14:22] forces warned that Iran would... respon forcefully
[00:14:26] to any miscalculation by its adversaries.
[00:14:29] Iranian officials have repeatedly warned that the country remains fully
[00:14:33] prepared to defend itself against any hostile
[00:14:36] action.
[00:14:40] The fourth day the annual IAEA general conference is underway in the Austrian
[00:14:44] capital, Vienna, the prohibition of attacks on nuclear facilities is
[00:14:48] at the top the agenda of today's discussions. For more details, we were earlier
[00:14:52] joined by our correspondinish from Vienna.
[00:14:58] the agenda item on attacks
[00:15:00] on nuclear facilities uh will be discussed in the afternoon, we can
[00:15:04] expect a heated discussion, there will be a joint
[00:15:07] statement delivered uh China and Iran
[00:15:11] and signed by China and Iran and signed by
[00:15:14] number of other countries, so far it has not been uh
[00:15:18] published the joint statement so we don't know
[00:15:21] who uh which countries uh will sign
[00:15:25] this statement we can expect that the allies
[00:15:29] of Russia, China and Iran like Ganisha, Bukina Faso,
[00:15:33] Nicaragua, Cuba, Belarus,
[00:15:36] Sudan. will sign it,
[00:15:40] I'm hearing also that South Africa will sign it, probably also
[00:15:43] Brazil, maybe Pakistan, Indonesia
[00:15:46] countries uh like like that,
[00:15:49] this uh agenda item and uh this joint
[00:15:53] statement is in direct relation to the
[00:15:57] attacks the uh in June
[00:16:00] 2025 on nuclear facilities in Iran in
[00:16:03] spring but also the ongoing attacks on uh
[00:16:07] Russian nuclear facilities by Ukraine,
[00:16:10] most most importantly the attacks on
[00:16:14] Sapuritian nuclear power plant, the largest nuclear power plant
[00:16:17] in
[00:16:19] Europe.
[00:16:23] Are you un fact finding mission on Iran says US committed war crimes
[00:16:26] in two air strikes on Iran in February. The
[00:16:30] report focuses on two US attacks, the first struck school in
[00:16:33] Minab, killing more than 150 civilians including school children.
[00:16:37] and teachers and parents, the second had a sports complex and
[00:16:41] nearby residential areas in La Merd, killing more than 20
[00:16:44] civilians. The findings are expected to be presented to the UN Human Rights
[00:16:48] Council in Geneva. According to the report, the strike in the Minop School
[00:16:52] went beyond negligence and amounted to war crime under international
[00:16:56] law. US officials have claimed their military operations are
[00:17:00] carried out in accordance with the law of armed
[00:17:03] conflict.
[00:17:09] Canada is it back at the United States after President Trump threatened the European
[00:17:13] Union with heavy tariffs if Canada becomes associate
[00:17:16] member the
[00:17:17] block.
[00:17:21] Canadians are united that nobody is going to
[00:17:25] tell us what language we speak, no one is going to dictate our
[00:17:28] culture or with whom we can strike
[00:17:32] agreements
[00:17:32] internationally.
[00:17:38] This after the European Commission President Ursula
[00:17:41] Fonderlayan proposed that Canada become the block's first
[00:17:44] associate member. Trump lable to move potentially hostile and
[00:17:48] threatened to stop trading with Europe on quote many things while also accusing
[00:17:52] Canada of being a bad trading partner. The EU has been on the
[00:17:56] receiving end of Trump's tariffs over the past year, while Canada is
[00:17:59] already locked a trade war with
[00:18:01] the US. Meanwhile, India has warned that new tariffs targeting countries
[00:18:05] buying Russian oil could affect by. lateral ties. US congress
[00:18:09] has passed the law allowing President Donald Trump to impose tariffs of up
[00:18:13] to 100% on countries such as India to curb their
[00:18:17] purchases of Russian energy. New Delhi stressed it remains committed to
[00:18:20] securing energy for its 1.4 billion
[00:18:24] people.
[00:18:31] Israely forces and serthers have carried out new raids and attacks across the
[00:18:34] occupied west bank. Israely forces rated this Ramala and arrested
[00:18:38] journalists ala Hasan al-Ramawi trial a separate raid
[00:18:42] on Aliin refugee camp west of Nabus to Palestinian men were
[00:18:46] reportedly beaten while being detained and subjected to
[00:18:50] field interrogations. Meanwhile Israeli settlers attacked
[00:18:53] Palestinian homes in the village of Bura Easter Ramala
[00:18:57] and set fire to agricultural land in the Alad al
[00:19:01] Shami area iwitness that the flames spread
[00:19:04] towards nearby homes.
[00:19:11] Israel is using quadcopter drones to target and kill civilians in Gaza. Geneva
[00:19:15] based human rights monitor has documented at least 60
[00:19:19] killings by these weapons from October last year until early
[00:19:22] September. The Euromet Group has spoken of a systematic
[00:19:25] pattern of deliberate killings and called for an
[00:19:29] international investigation. Press TV's moti abusabet reports
[00:19:33] from central
[00:19:34] Gaza.
[00:19:39] Israel continues to use armed quadcopter drones to deliberately kill
[00:19:43] Palestinian civilians in the Gaza strip. That's according to report
[00:19:47] released at the weekend by Euromed Human Rights monitor. The Geneva
[00:19:51] based group says it has documented the killing of at least 60
[00:19:54] civilians by attacks using equipters. Since the seasfire took
[00:19:58] effect on October the 10th 2025 through early September this
[00:20:02] year. The use of
[00:20:06] quadcopter drones to. target Palestinian civilians is occurring
[00:20:09] amits the ongoing genocidal war on Gaza. Israeli
[00:20:13] forces have employed a diverse range of weapons and military
[00:20:17] equipment against Palestinian women and children. Despite the
[00:20:21] ceasefire agreement, the killing of Palestinians continues
[00:20:24] unabated. The fact that these drones can identify their targets
[00:20:28] further underscores the deliberate targeting of children and women,
[00:20:32] which is seen as a flagrant violation of international law
[00:20:36] and regulations. The Euromaid report speaks of a
[00:20:40] continuing pattern to target civilians from a children to
[00:20:43] farmers, shepherds and the displaced people returning to check on their
[00:20:47] homes. It says Israel uses military technology. that allows
[00:20:50] it to identify specific individuals, track their movements
[00:20:54] and strike them with the
[00:20:55] precision. undoubtedly,
[00:20:59] developing quadcopter drones as killing tools is in violation of
[00:21:03] international law and conventions that prohibit targeting civilians
[00:21:07] under any circumstances. we are witnessing first hand how these
[00:21:10] drones are targeting children and women, despite their advanced
[00:21:14] capabilities to identify their targets. this calls for immediate
[00:21:18] action from mediators and international humanitarian
[00:21:21] organizations to stop the widespread killing of
[00:21:24] palestinians. for many palestinians, quad
[00:21:28] carter drones are perceived as the most lethal weapon due to the
[00:21:31] multifunctional capabilities, beyond their precision strikes on
[00:21:35] civilians. these drones can maneuver and hover effortlessly
[00:21:39] in confined spaces, including mixshift tints. this
[00:21:43] versatility allows them to be employed militarily and
[00:21:46] beyond. night we
[00:21:50] witnessed and hear the Israeli quadcopter drones hovering over
[00:21:54] our makeshift tents, usually at low altitudes and sometimes
[00:21:58] firing on the sleeping people below. few days ago, my nephew was
[00:22:02] shot and injured by an Israeli quadcopter drone, while a friend of
[00:22:06] mine was tragically killed under similar
[00:22:08] circumstances. it's not
[00:22:12] a coincidence that this report was released while the impact the
[00:22:15] 2026 British documentary film Naza is still being filled.
[00:22:20] worldwide, the documentary demonstrates the same truth, the Israeli regime
[00:22:24] uses artificial intelligence and advanced technologies in its
[00:22:27] war on Gaza to indiscriminately kill palestinan women and
[00:22:31] children, as the genocidal war
[00:22:35] on Gaza persists, the Israeli forces armed with
[00:22:39] cutting edge technology continue to employ more lethal weapons
[00:22:42] against civilians, the world must now ask itself what
[00:22:46] more evidence is needed before halting this is...
[00:22:50] madness, the central area of
[00:22:54] gaza step.
[00:22:58] Rescuers are continuing to recover bodies from residential building in Gaza City day
[00:23:02] after it collapsed following damage sustained in Israeli strikes
[00:23:05] at least 21 people um so far confirmed dead and many
[00:23:09] others injured while more than 100 remain missing. of course b
[00:23:13] Ibrahim tells us
[00:23:14] more continuous
[00:23:17] rescue and search operations. According to Gaza civil defense,
