[00:02:21] the regime forces abducted Naka but allowed her team to
[00:02:24] leave. the palestinan journalist syndicate has condemned her abduction as
[00:02:28] wider Israely campaign to targeting of palestiny media workers
[00:02:32] and according to the syndicate,
[00:02:34] of 38 journalists have been abducted and occupied west bank so
[00:02:37] far.
[00:02:41] It has been three days since press bank reporter
[00:02:44] nakamed was abducted by Israeli soldiers. Regime forces
[00:02:48] arrested her a checkpoint as she was
[00:02:51] a returning from
[00:02:51] a reporting assignment. Her cameraman who witnessed the incident
[00:02:55] recounts how the events
[00:02:56] in unfolded. of It was three female soldiers. ushered our
[00:03:00] car to stop, they demanded we hand over our identification cards, and
[00:03:04] they photographed each ID as well as took our pictures. After a
[00:03:08] short while, the soldiers ordered the team to get out
[00:03:10] of the car and follow them to a military watch tower nearby. We were
[00:03:14] forced to sit on the ground for around 45 minutes and in that time in
[00:03:18] journalist syndicate has condemned Israel's continued abduction and
[00:03:21] targeting a palestinian journalists including Naqa Hamed. The
[00:03:25] syndicate said
[00:03:26] in a statement that her abduction is the latest example of. real
[00:03:30] detaining adrenalist, it noted that Hamed has diabetes and other
[00:03:33] health problems. It warned that Hamet's continued detention
[00:03:37] raised serious concerns about her health and safety given the harsh
[00:03:41] conditions and lack of adequate medical care in Israeli prisons and
[00:03:45] detention centers. The journalist has been working as a press TV
[00:03:48] correspondent since
[00:03:51] in 2024. Over the past few weeks, she has been reporting about raising
[00:03:55] settler attacks, especially in the town of Quosra,
[00:03:58] as well as Israel's land. policies in the occupied
[00:04:01] territories. That's deemed to be the reason she has been targeted by
[00:04:05] Israeli settlers with wave of incitement on telegram channels and
[00:04:09] Israeli media. An
[00:04:11] of obstruct Press TV's coverage of Israeli crimes from reaching
[00:04:15] audiences around the world. Nakal Hamed was also injured in
[00:04:18] December last year while reporting from Kalandia refugee camp
[00:04:22] after Israeli forces targeted her with rubber bullets.
[00:04:26] Hamed is from the village of Baitin northeast of Romallah.
[00:04:30] holding American
[00:04:31] of citizenship and is married with three young children.
[00:04:34] Hamed family contacted
[00:04:36] of the US embassy in al-Quds about her arrest, but has yet to
[00:04:40] hear back. Israeli news outlets cited unidentified
[00:04:43] Israeli military sources as saying hammed is suspected
[00:04:47] of of of cooperating with an enemy entity and may also be under
[00:04:51] suspicion of espionage. Hamed's detention is part of escalating
[00:04:54] wave of arrest of Palestinian journalists by Israeli authorities.
[00:04:58] Nearly 40 journalists. are currently in Israeli
[00:05:01] of detention, according to the Palestinian prisoner society, all of whom were
[00:05:06] of abducted following the start of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza nearly
[00:05:10] three years ago, over half the journalists behind bars
[00:05:14] are being held in administrative detention, mechanism that
[00:05:18] allows Israeli authorities to imprison people indefinitely
[00:05:22] without charge or trial. For hammed's family, however, the
[00:05:26] case is deeply personal. Three days after her arrest, they're
[00:05:30] still waiting for answers about where she's being held, the
[00:05:33] charges against her, and whether she's receiving the medical care she
[00:05:37] needs. As hammed remains behind bars, her colleagues and family
[00:05:41] continue to call. for her immediate release and for guarantees of her
[00:05:45] safety and access to proper medical care. the case
[00:05:48] of hammed is yet another reminder the risks
[00:05:52] palestinian journalists face simply for documenting events on
[00:05:56] the ground. for now her family remains without answers
[00:05:59] and the questions surrounding her abduction remain
[00:06:03] unresolved.

[00:06:11] over. island drone was destroyed by advanced air defense systems
[00:06:15] with IRGC's aerospace force operating on the country's
[00:06:19] integrated air defense network. MQ9 is a primary unmanned
[00:06:23] aerial vehicle used for surveillance and targeted strikes.
[00:06:27] This is the 53rd such drone down by Iranian forcess and
[00:06:31] start of US Israely imposed war. According to Washington Post
[00:06:35] report, US military has lost roughly uh 25% of his

[00:06:43] aircraft.
[00:06:50] the Iranian parliament speakers held a US backed anti-iran draft
[00:06:54] resolution at the UN security council by Russia and China saying move
[00:06:58] proves the end the unipolar world order.
[00:07:02] mhammed said a post that video shows unipolar
[00:07:06] order in which one side extracts concessions through force
[00:07:09] incorsion is has ended, he added. China and Russia's
[00:07:13] vetos prevented the political abuse the security
[00:07:16] council and reaffirmed the rule of law. Rollebuff called on all
[00:07:20] countries to defend multilateralism, stressing unilateralism
[00:07:24] serves no one's interests. As comments come after China, Russia vetoed a
[00:07:28] US bid at the Security Council to extend a mandate of
[00:07:32] panel task with monitoring sanctions against Iran.
[00:07:35] China said the Security Council Resolution 2231 expired last
[00:07:39] October, bringing the Council's review of Iran's. nuclear file to an
[00:07:43] end. Russia also rejected claims that activation the so-called
[00:07:47] snapback mechanism could restore Iran's sanctions,
[00:07:50] arguing the resolution as expired in the current proceedings lack
[00:07:54] legal and procedural
[00:07:56] basis.
[00:08:01] The international atomic energy agency has adopted resolution calling for the
[00:08:04] establishment of nuclear weapon free zone in west Asia.
[00:08:08] 70th IAEA general Conference adopted the resolution calling for
[00:08:11] practical. appropriate steps implement mutually and
[00:08:15] effectively verifiable nuclear weapon free zone in
[00:08:18] west Asia. resolution also urged the Israeli regime to
[00:08:21] adhere to international non-proliferation regimes, including
[00:08:25] nuclear non-proliferation treaty as a means of complementing
[00:08:29] a zone free of all weapons of mass
[00:08:32] destruction. Israel which possesses nuclear weapons is not a signatory
[00:08:36] to the NPT nuclear weapon free zone initiative was first
[00:08:40] proposed by Iran in 1970. foreign has since been
[00:08:44] promoted by the Islamic Republic. A resolution was adopted by
[00:08:47] 112 member states with nine abstentions and no
[00:08:51] votes
[00:08:52] against.
[00:08:56] Iran's deputy envoy to UN agencies in
[00:08:58] Viena.
[00:09:00] Mustakam says every state in the region except
[00:09:02] for the Israeli regime has joined the
[00:09:06] NPT and accepted comprehensive IAEA standards and is
[00:09:10] Israel's refusal to do so reflects. dangerous double standard that
[00:09:14] undermines ia's credibility and
[00:09:16] integrity.
[00:09:21] highly destructive policies and practices the Israeli
[00:09:24] regime have entirely blocked the
[00:09:28] establishment of this
[00:09:29] zone. its dangerous
[00:09:33] nuclear posture remains the soul
[00:09:36] obstacle.
[00:09:40] for decades our region has witnessed
[00:09:44] relentless Israeli aggression and
[00:09:47] occupation. this
[00:09:50] regime persistently defies and marks all global
[00:09:54] nuclear nonproliferation norms with absolute
[00:09:58] impunity.
[00:10:02] the director general reports that all
[00:10:06] in the middle east have joined the MPT
[00:10:10] and concluded comprehensive safe.
[00:10:16] The only exception is the Israeli regime
[00:10:19] regional
[00:10:22] estates bear heavy. proliferation
[00:10:25] obligations and face highly
[00:10:29] intrusive ia
[00:10:30] inspections.
[00:10:35] Meanwhile, a non-NPT party
[00:10:39] with known nuclear arsenal
[00:10:42] enjoys total
[00:10:44] impunity. This
[00:10:48] dangereus double standards destroys the
[00:10:51] agencies credibility and integrity.
[00:11:01] UN fact finding mission on Iran says the US committed war crimes and two air strikes
[00:11:05] in Iran in February. Report focused on two US
[00:11:08] attacks, first strike of school in Minab in southern Iran killing more than
[00:11:12] 150 civilians, including school, children, teachers and
[00:11:16] parents, and second, hit a sports complex in nearby residential
[00:11:19] areas in La Merd, killing more than 20 civilians.
[00:11:23] Findings are expected to be presented to us. Human rights council in
[00:11:26] Geneva, according to the report, strike on Minob school went beyond
[00:11:30] negligence and amounts to war crime under international law,
[00:11:34] US officials claim military operations are carried out in accordance with the
[00:11:38] law of armed
[00:11:38] conflict.
[00:11:44] Terran is some the German ambassador to protest Berlin's inappropriate statements
[00:11:48] and interventionist actions. Iran's foreign ministry director for west
[00:11:52] European affairs, usufi. uh
[00:11:55] rejected baseless claims made by the German chancelor Fredrick
[00:11:59] Mertz regarding Iran. Murts demanded the terror military nuclear
[00:12:03] program and unfounded claim Iran has consistently
[00:12:06] rejected. Chairman Chancer also said Iran must cease
[00:12:10] support for proxies across the region and its blockade the straight of
[00:12:13] hormose used to be conveyed to iron strong protest against Berlin's
[00:12:17] unjustified and destructive approach to issues concerning the
[00:12:21] region and Iran. Foreign ministry spokes person Ism.
[00:12:25] already slammed earlier merts for presenting a knowingly distorted narrative
[00:12:29] and he blamed Germany for failing even show minimum moral courage
[00:12:33] required to condemn US Israely war on
[00:12:36] Iran.
[00:12:42] Yamen's Ansera leader says assi regime has been sharing intelligence with the Israeli
[00:12:46] regime and participated with Americans and their aggression against
[00:12:49] Yemen.
[00:12:54] Those. Managing the Saudi enemy's operations are American, Israeli
[00:12:58] and British experts and the foreign role is clear. The Saudi enemy was not
[00:13:02] satisfied with the foreign role in the aggression against our country and wants to
[00:13:06] drag them into a direct war at the international and regional
[00:13:09] level.
[00:13:14] And Saudi Arabia receives its weapons from the US and that
[00:13:18] announced and has announced a joint force of 200 military experts
[00:13:22] managing aggressive operations by Saudi Arabia. against Yemen. He
[00:13:26] also rejected the false claim the Yemen forces targeted Mecca, saying the
[00:13:30] Yemenes are ready sacrifice themselves to defend Mecca. Naluthy
[00:13:34] stressed Yemen remains in a state of legitimate defense and his only
[00:13:37] targeted military installations. He said blockade on airports and ports
[00:13:41] and the use of hunger as a weapon are forms of aggression
[00:13:45] aimed at enslaving the Yemani
[00:13:47] people.
[00:13:53] While another deadly attacking Yemen. back forces of shelled the residential areas of
[00:13:57] Thaiz killing three children and wounding several other people attack at the
[00:14:00] village of Terera and Alwazia district, meanwile the

[00:14:22] home. latest side air strikes commit.
[00:14:26] military gains along Yemen's red sea
[00:14:28] coast
[00:14:32] at least one palestinian has been killed in fresh Israeli attacks in khan unis and
[00:14:35] southern Gaza has besieged territory still reeling from regime strikes
[00:14:39] other years including gaza city and central gaza have
[00:14:43] also come under fire gaza
[00:14:45] cor respon moti abu Musava joined us earlier with your
[00:14:47] details
[00:14:52] let me start with the last attack that took place in
[00:14:55] Hannuni city whereas the Israeli fighter drones attack the make
[00:14:59] shift tint in the western side the city killing at least a
[00:15:03] palestinian civilian and leaving several injuries. in the meantime the
[00:15:06] Israeli walkins launched another attack targeting the
[00:15:10] roof the of one the residential buildings in
[00:15:14] as you know in the eastern side of adaraj neighborhood in gaza
[00:15:18] city leaving several palestinan casualties to mention once
[00:15:22] again that the eastern sites of gas trip are still Under the
[00:15:26] heavy bombings the Israel occupation forces we are still able to
[00:15:29] hear more dettonations the Palestinian
[00:15:32] sesidential buildings that survived the
[00:15:36] relentus stack. over the past couple of months in those
[00:15:40] areas, addition to that, the makeshift tens the palestinian people are still
[00:15:44] exposed to more stay bullets from the Israeli
[00:15:48] forces at mid the intense as you know machine gun fire continued
[00:15:52] by the Israeli forces and according to the recent updates from the
[00:15:56] Gaza Health Ministry that a palestinan woman was
[00:15:59] confirmed wounded in the eastern side the city
[00:16:03] as result the of that intense and mass shooting uh towards
[00:16:07] the make shiftings the palestinian people and under the same
[00:16:10] circumstances, two palestinian civilians were also wounded and injured
[00:16:14] in the northern part
[00:16:15] of
[00:16:21] public transportation system is near collapsed with around 70% of
[00:16:25] a is a bus fleet out of service and it severe shortages of tires,
[00:16:28] oil and spare parts as a war damage roads continued to wear down
[00:16:32] remaining vehicles, palestinians are spending hours searching for transport
[00:16:36] overcrowding, shift vehicles and struggling to reach work, healthcare
[00:16:40] and other basic
[00:16:41] necessities.
[00:16:46] for many palestinians in Gaza, getting from one place to another has become
[00:16:50] a daily struggle defined by hours of waiting, long
[00:16:54] walks, overcrowded vehicles and roads that are barely
[00:16:58] passable. what was once routine journey has become
[00:17:01] increasingly difficult as Gaza's public
[00:17:04] transportation system is pushed closer.
[00:17:11] For
[00:17:11] two years we have struggled to keep 20% the buses running, serving
[00:17:15] communities, including healthcare workers. With tires, oil and spare parts
[00:17:19] still restricted, companies are dismantling out of service buses to salvage
[00:17:23] parts. We have even switched some buses from six wheels to
[00:17:26] four, but it is risky and not a sustainable
[00:17:29] solution. Around 70% of buses are already
[00:17:33] out of service, leaving only a fraction of vehicles operating.
[00:17:37] across this trip, those still running are being pushed towards the
[00:17:41] breakdown by severe shortages of tires, engine oils and
[00:17:45] essential spare parts. every spare
[00:17:49] part has become so expensive that people simply cannot afford
[00:17:53] to replace it. i drive slowly, knowing it delays
[00:17:57] passengers, but if i drive faster, i risk wearing out
[00:18:00] my tires even more. the roads are badly
[00:18:04] damaged and covered with rubble, people can... spend hours
[00:18:08] waiting for ride, which is why
[00:18:10] we have resorted to these makeshift rear carts to carry more
[00:18:14] passengers. as conventional public transport becomes
[00:18:18] increasingly scars under Israel's blockade,
[00:18:21] increasingly desperate alternatives are emerging on gas's
[00:18:25] streets with remaining vehicles being fitted with makeshift
[00:18:29] rear cards to carry additional
[00:18:31] passengers.
[00:18:35] these makeshift vehicles are dangerous. to hold on tightly throughout the
[00:18:38] journey to avoid falling. The roads are badly damaged and as you
[00:18:42] can see, these vehicles offer no real safety. They are
[00:18:46] suffocating us in every sense. They restrict
[00:18:49] access to engine oil, tires and spare parts,
[00:18:53] and all of this is reflected in our daily suffering.
[00:18:57] The Gaza Center for Human Rights estimates direct losses to the
[00:19:01] transport sector at around $2.8 billion dollars, but
[00:19:05] the real cost is born by the people who debate. depend on these vehicles
[00:19:08] every day, as even the simplest journey becomes
[00:19:12] longer, harder and more dangerous. all rods
[00:19:16] discard by war and buried in rubble, every journey has
[00:19:20] become longer, harder and more expensive,
[00:19:23] yet the few remaining vehicles is still moving continue
[00:19:27] to carry people who are trying to live, who are trying
[00:19:31] to care for their families and trying to preserve a
[00:19:35] sense of normal life, but for Press TV, Gaza
[00:19:39] City,
[00:19:39] Palestine. Pakistan
[00:19:43] and China have officially put their aboundary joint commission into operation.
[00:19:47] Senior officials from the two sides met in Islamabad Wednesday to
[00:19:51] formalize mechanism aimed at improving border management and boosting
[00:19:55] regional trade. The ultimate goal to secure supply chains and strengthen
[00:19:59] geopolitical stability of multi-billion dollar economic corridor between
[00:20:03] the two
[00:20:03] countries.
[00:20:07] The first meeting the Pakistan, China Boundary Joint Commission has
[00:20:11] been held, marking an important step for both
[00:20:15] sides, by setting up legal and practical framework along their shared
[00:20:18] border, the two countries are developing regional trade links
[00:20:22] aimed at protecting south and centralian markets from external
[00:20:26] economic shocks. Pakistan and China
[00:20:29] operationalized Pakistan China boundary joint commission on
[00:20:33] 16th September with its inaugural meeting held at the Ministry of
[00:20:37] foreign affairs in Islamabad yesterday, co chaired by
[00:20:40] senior officials from both sides, the commission will strengthen
[00:20:44] cooperation in border management, joint service,
[00:20:47] trade facilitation and people, people connectivity. the
[00:20:51] development is being watched closely across the region as a major step
[00:20:55] forward for economic integration within the global south.
[00:20:59] observers say the move allows developing nations to secure
[00:21:03] critical logistics and energy corridors in dependently of
[00:21:06] western dominated financial and political
[00:21:09] frameworks. we need to become more
[00:21:13] independent of us technology, us
[00:21:17] weapons, us financial assistance. and the
[00:21:20] use of US controlled western
[00:21:23] institutions, I think it's encouraging
[00:21:27] situation that new
[00:21:31] roots are being found. Trade volumes between China and
[00:21:34] Pakistan have seen steady integration through their joint economic
[00:21:38] corridor infrastructure. Now this commission provides the
[00:21:42] necessary regulatory teeth to handle higher volumes of
[00:21:45] cargo. It ensures that the vital arteries connecting Chinese
[00:21:49] markets. the Arabian sea remains highly coordinated and
[00:21:53] insulated from external political pressures.
[00:21:56] operationalized the Pakistan, operationalizing the Pakistan-China
[00:22:00] border joint commission creates a permanent institutional mechanism that
[00:22:04] helps foster coordination among relevant border, customs and security
[00:22:08] authorities. It also helps address delays in documentation,
[00:22:12] inspections and procedures as well as vehicle and cargo clearance and
[00:22:15] operating costs. As global trade
[00:22:19] route. increasing volatility, the formalized coordination
[00:22:23] between Islamabad and Beijing provides a blueprint for
[00:22:26] how regional allies can proactively secure their shared
[00:22:30] economic interest. By turning geographic proximity
[00:22:34] into a highly organized and structured trade corridor, Pakistan and
[00:22:38] China are cementing a unified economic front. The border
[00:22:41] mechanism signals that the future of south Asian trade will be driven by
[00:22:45] regional integration and global south self reliance. Mariam

[00:23:32] potentially hostile and threatened to stop trading with Europe

[00:25:58] That night was supposed to be night of
[00:26:00] joy.
[00:26:02] on Ansiri County, Hormosgan province, families were getting ready for
[00:26:06] a wedding, night for new clothes, seeing the bride and
[00:26:10] groom, music and laughter and children playing among their
[00:26:14] relatives, but at around 9 o'clock on September 1st,
[00:26:18] a US military attack on the wedding ceremony changed everything
[00:26:22] a matter of seconds. The explosion filled the wedding venue with
[00:26:25] smoke and rubble, music and laughter gave way to screams and
[00:26:29] cries. In the attack carried out by US force. Five people were
[00:26:33] killed and nearly 70 were injured. One
[00:26:37] of those killed was four-year-old boy named Amir Ali Academy Amir
[00:26:41] Ali had not gone to war.
[00:26:42] He had gone to a wedding. That day he had taken a bath,
[00:26:46] fixed his hair and could hardly contain his excitement about going
[00:26:50] to the celebration. His mother was supposed to leave a little later with
[00:26:54] him and the rest the family, but Amir Ali, his
[00:26:57] 14-year-old sister, Kiana and several other children left early. A
[00:27:01] few minutes later. after the explosion happened. Amir
[00:27:05] Ali's mother later said there was a terrible sound, everything was filled with
[00:27:09] smoke. My heart sank, I children. Then the phone rang. They
[00:27:13] told me your son has been killed. Amir Ali, the youngest child
[00:27:17] in the family, was no longer among the injured. His
[00:27:20] body had been taken to the hospital within the first few minutes
[00:27:24] so quickly that his mother did not even have the chance to hold
[00:27:28] her son one last time, but Kiana had survived.
[00:27:32] Sharpnel had wounded her and she was taken to the hospital, doctors saved her
[00:27:36] life, but the wound she brought home was not only a physical
[00:27:40] one. Kyano had witnessed her little brother's final
[00:27:43] moments. Her mother says that even while she was
[00:27:47] injured herself, Kiyana kept crying and saying, "I saw blood coming from Amir
[00:27:51] Ali's head, I saw him fall to the ground. Now
[00:27:55] this mother must learn to live without the little boy who filled their
[00:27:59] home with his energy, the child who was..." supposed to start
[00:28:03] preschool this year, the home that was supposed to be filled with
[00:28:07] laughter and memories after the wedding is now
[00:28:10] missing one voice, Amid Ali's voice, and perhaps the
[00:28:14] hardest question in his grief is this: a child who only wanted to
[00:28:18] go to a wedding and play with his relatives children, why did
[00:28:22] his last night have to be spent among smoke, sharpenel,
[00:28:26] blood and
[00:28:26] tears.
