[00:03:56] for ministry spokesman says Europe has to answer for participation in the US. aggression
[00:04:00] against Iran, Ism said the NATO secretary general Mark
[00:04:04] remarks about extensive use of facilities in NATO member states
[00:04:08] during US Israely aggression amounts to clear admission. He says the remark
[00:04:12] show Europe knowingly an active offer to the US and Israely regimes that
[00:04:16] played a role in the death and destruction of Iran. Vagay added that Europe's
[00:04:20] role in rising gas prices and
[00:04:21] of other outcomes of this illegal aggression should also be investigated as well
[00:04:25] as Rut's own decisions and actions in regards to this illegal
[00:04:29] war. as a NATO secretary
[00:04:31] general, number of
[00:04:35] world leaders have addressed the UN general assembly
[00:04:37] over the past several days and the reps from number of countries will do the
[00:04:41] same today and in the coming days and some speeches have drawn praises while
[00:04:44] others have triggered condemnation. the US president speech according to
[00:04:48] analysts contain multiple false and misleading claims. these early
[00:04:52] prime ministers address that the UNGA has also been slammed as
[00:04:56] being filled with lies, and to discuss this were earlier joined by professor about
[00:05:00] international law, Richard
[00:05:01] Falk
[00:05:05] UN system is built on the
[00:05:08] premise of all countries.
[00:05:12] all states, big or small, powerful or
[00:05:16] weak, being subject to the UN
[00:05:19] charter and to international
[00:05:22] law, but at the same time, the
[00:05:25] design the UN was
[00:05:29] one that favored the winners of world war ii,
[00:05:32] therefore the most powerful countries
[00:05:36] were given the right of veto, which
[00:05:39] means that they have...
[00:05:43] legally grounded
[00:05:46] right to free themselves
[00:05:50] from the obligation to uphold
[00:05:53] international law, and the
[00:05:57] US and its European allies have
[00:06:00] frequently used that veto, not only for their
[00:06:04] own policies, but to
[00:06:07] protect their friends and
[00:06:11] allies. principally Israel
[00:06:14] when it's under justifiable
[00:06:18] criticism for its failure to
[00:06:22] abide by international law,
[00:06:25] so we have a
[00:06:28] situation where
[00:06:31] geop group has called on irakis to support
[00:06:35] Iran economically, encounter your sie on tehran urging
[00:06:39] increase trade and purchase of Iranian goods, statement the group: called for the
[00:06:42] expansion of economic ties with Iran and avoiding action that could increase
[00:06:46] pressure on the Iranian people. It also called on Iraqis to support
[00:06:50] Iranian goods, expand trade and avoid any action that will
[00:06:54] increase pressure on Iran, describing this as religious duty.
[00:06:57] Group accused iraqi government and other institutions of aligning with US
[00:07:01] policies saying this intensifies pressure on the Iranian people.
[00:07:05] It also should religious inquiry into clericks and authorities demanding
[00:07:09] a ruling on the Islamic legal status of any cooperation. with the siege
[00:07:13] on
[00:07:13] Iran,
[00:07:18] Israeli regime uh continues its aggression against South Lebanon, carrying out two air
[00:07:22] strikes on the outskirts of Sejud. Another attack targeted the town of
[00:07:25] Alcantara in the region, our correspondent Hussain iemodd earlier joined us with your
[00:07:29] update.
[00:07:33] This morning around 9:9 a.m. in the
[00:07:37] morning, the citizens the area awoke to two
[00:07:41] air strikes that targeted the villages of sujud and
[00:07:45] rafia, these villages that exist in the region in
[00:07:48] particular, and it seems that the munitions used
[00:07:52] in the targeting were bunker buster munitions,
[00:07:56] because the sound and the seismic
[00:07:59] effect of which shook the assets of multiple homes
[00:08:03] in the
[00:08:04] in the surrounding areas and in the village itself. today
[00:08:08] conterminus with the air strikes that happened in the Apple
[00:08:11] region, the ground Israeli ground forces, mechanized
[00:08:15] patrol advanced further inwards into the village
[00:08:19] of der Mimas, in New York, palestinian people continue to
[00:08:22] endure devastating Israeli attacks and catastrophic humanitarian
[00:08:26] conditions, as more palestinians are expected to lose their lives, the UN
[00:08:30] general assembly speakers once again stick to issuing statements
[00:08:33] devoid of any practical measures, press
[00:08:36] tv has this report from
[00:08:38] gaza, years ago my country was still...
[00:08:43] For the third consecutive year since the commencement the
[00:08:46] genocidal war on Gaza, world leaders have convened a
[00:08:50] New York to address the annual United Nations General
[00:08:53] Assembly. However, these gatherings have had no impact
[00:08:57] on the Israeli crimes against Palestinians, with the war ravaged,
[00:09:01] Gaza kept witnessing increase in the death tholl and a warsening
[00:09:05] humanitarian
[00:09:06] situation.
[00:09:10] The UN general assembly has undoubtedly lost its significance since
[00:09:14] it failed to hold the Israeli regime fully accountable for the ongoing
[00:09:18] genocide in Gaza. In light of this unprecedented
[00:09:21] brutality and the relentless killing by the Israeli regime, those
[00:09:25] statements alone have become meaningless and a mere waste of time.
[00:09:29] We urgently need those statements to be translated into tangible
[00:09:33] actions on the ground. Although many leaders sees the
[00:09:36] opportunity to unequivocally condemn the Israeli actions in
[00:09:40] Gaza and the unfolding humanit. crisis,
[00:09:43] however, for Palestinians, these condemnations lack
[00:09:47] substance and effectiveness, as the occuping regime continued
[00:09:51] with its frilentless aggression with
[00:09:53] impunity. It's
[00:09:57] becoming increasingly evident that the international community and the United
[00:10:00] Nations have completely failed to protect international law and
[00:10:04] regulation stance and take decisive action to compell the
[00:10:07] Israeli regime to comply with international
[00:10:10] resolutions. Thousands more
[00:10:13] Palestinians have been killed since the last United Nations General
[00:10:17] Assembly address and more are expected to die as world
[00:10:21] leaders continue to issue unfulfilled statements without taking any.
[00:10:25] meaningful action to end Israeli
[00:10:27] brutalities, since
[00:10:30] 1948, the UN general assembly has made hollow
[00:10:34] statements about the Palestinian people, but it has done nothing to address their
[00:10:38] plight. We are tired these empty condemnations, because they
[00:10:42] have not brought us safety. If these leaders were truly committed to
[00:10:45] condemning the Israeli crimes against us, they would take immediate
[00:10:49] action. Unfortunately, we are still suffering from three years
[00:10:53] of violence and starvation.
[00:10:55] and they are watching us helplessly, they are completely complicit in the Israeli
[00:10:58] atrocities. for many,
[00:11:02] those apathetic leaders are complicit in the Israeli crimes as
[00:11:06] they realize that their condemminations alone will never protect the
[00:11:10] Palestinians from the Israeli killing machine while their relations
[00:11:14] with the regime remain intact. despite the
[00:11:17] conspicuous criticism the Israeli atrocities in
[00:11:21] Gaza by wild leaders during their address to the United.
[00:11:25] nation's general assembly, the Israeli regime continues its
[00:11:29] vicious attacks. this serves as it another stark
[00:11:33] reminder the Israeli brutality and the hypocrisy
[00:11:37] of those leaders who despite their condemnation
[00:11:41] continue to maintain their diplomatic and economic ties with the Israeli
[00:11:45] occupation, the central area
[00:11:49] of gaza step. canada's prime minister
[00:11:53] says the country has made a contingency plan. for possible US military
[00:11:56] invasion, attentions between the two long-time allies continue to grow.
[00:12:00] mark carne described the plan as risk management adding, while the
[00:12:03] probability of such attack is low, it'll be irresponsible
[00:12:07] not to be prepared. carne added, canada is also working to reduce its
[00:12:11] reliance on the US and review its use of starlink and a planned
[00:12:15] purchase of f35 fighter jets. comments conmit repeated statements by
[00:12:19] the US president about making Canada the 51st US state
[00:12:22] attentions flared after a trade deal collapsed last month, pushing two
[00:12:26] key trade partners toward enacting a high tariffs on one
[00:12:30] another.
[00:12:36] see remains the high alert two months after massive arrivals
[00:12:40] from Morocco and thousands remain stranded in the enclave, local
[00:12:43] tensions are boiling over and spain is reinforcing its border and mid
[00:12:47] fears of fresh crossing at temps, have
[00:12:49] look, the mass
[00:12:53] influx on July 30th,
[00:13:25] Officials insult us while underreporting that over 20,000 migrants
[00:13:29] remain trapped here, the geopolitical
[00:13:33] access between Israel, the US and Morocco is fueling this
[00:13:36] crisis. From mega figures labeling Ciuta as
[00:13:39] occupied, to sophisticated online campaigns, this was no
[00:13:43] spontaneous event. It's a calculated strategy driven by zionism and
[00:13:47] the
[00:13:47] far right. Beyond the border fans, the crisis
[00:13:51] has ignited the fears political confrontation over identity and...
[00:13:55] security, spilling over into the streets and sparking wave of
[00:13:58] social tension, racious rhetoric, physical attacks and
[00:14:02] polarization and now threatening the cities delicate
[00:14:06] multicultural harmony. this brutal attack on my
[00:14:09] vehicle follows weeks of rampant islamophobia. we warned this violence
[00:14:13] was coming, it's the direct result of an extreme right narrative
[00:14:17] trying to terrorize any one who opposes
[00:14:19] them. secure border is
[00:14:23] completely compatible.
[00:14:53] The situation here is terrible. we suffer two months starving and
[00:14:56] sick, i don't know if this is worth it anymore,
[00:15:00] i can't go home empty-handed, i'll keep trying until the end, even if i
[00:15:04] die trying before returning to Morocco,
[00:15:08] celta has become the grand zero of a prolong diplomatic decklock, as
[00:15:12] morocco holds elections, thousands of migrants remain stranded here while
[00:15:15] residents live under the persistent threat of new border
[00:15:19] assault, without structural solutions from madrid, this enclave
[00:15:23] remains a humanitarian pressure cook.
[00:15:37] the local elections, the conservative CDU party the German chancelor Frederick
[00:15:41] Murz and his government are under increased pressure over some their
[00:15:44] controversial policies. On Friday, youth organizations, trade unions
[00:15:48] and student associations already called for fourth nationwide school
[00:15:52] strike against the reintroduction of constription. One of those cities that saw
[00:15:56] large demonstrations was Munich, and it's where Press TV's deater Rajnish is
[00:16:00] about to take
[00:16:00] us.

[00:16:15] they aim to continue protest until the issue of conscription
[00:16:19] is off the table, conscription is one of several measures the government has
[00:16:22] included in its militarization program, aimed at
[00:16:26] preparing for potential confrontation with Russia by
[00:16:29] 2023. after the last strike, teacher
[00:16:33] asked me why
[00:16:33] i was skipping school, i explained to her that i wasn't skipping school but

[00:18:12] German participation in wars in eastern Europe and
[00:18:16] west Asia next weekend, pressure is clearly
[00:18:19] mounting on Marts and his government. Dita Reinish for Press
[00:18:23] TV from Munich.
[00:18:27] English football club, Manchester City has been found guilty of almost
[00:18:31] all charges related to breaches the Premier League's financial regulations.
[00:18:35] Report say the sanctions have not been decided yet. Manchester City is
[00:18:38] expected to appeal the verdict, concerns, allegations, dating back nearly
[00:18:42] decade, including misleading financial information and failure to
[00:18:46] disclose payments to players and managers. The charges stem from
[00:18:50] leaked documents published by German news magazine back in
[00:18:53] 2018, the Amarati own club has insisted there is,
[00:18:57] quote, a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence to prove its
[00:19:00] innocence.
[00:19:05] And today is the anniversary the martydom of. Press TV correspondent in
[00:19:08] Syria Maya Nasirua lost his life while reporting on air from
[00:19:12] Damascus back in
[00:19:13] 2012.
[00:19:17] September 26th marks the morterdam anniversary of Press TV
[00:19:21] correspondent Mayo nasser who was killed by sniper while
[00:19:25] covering twin blasts in the Syrian capital Damascus in
[00:19:29] 2012. Okay, we've lost myaya, but we're going to try to
[00:19:32] definitely get him back. Mayanaser was from the Syrian
[00:19:35] city of Latakia. studied at university in the
[00:19:39] US. Naser contributed to UN programs in
[00:19:42] Syria prior to joining Press TV as a
[00:19:45] correspondent. He courageously reported from conflict
[00:19:49] zones during the war on Syria. His reports from Aleppo were
[00:19:53] especially notable. Nasur lost his life while he
[00:19:56] always did his best to convey the voice the Syrian
[00:20:00] people to the world a time when the Arab country was
[00:20:03] grappling with conflicts. Two days before his death,
[00:20:07] wrote on his social media account, in wars like this, there's
[00:20:11] no winner or loser, everybody loses, and the most who
[00:20:15] pay the price are Syrians. Iran's then foreign
[00:20:19] ministry slammed the terrorists realities from being exposed
[00:20:23] to the world. Also, the then director general of UNESCO
[00:20:27] voiced grave concern about the targeting of journalists and called
[00:20:31] for investigation into the killing of press TV reporter
[00:20:35] Mayanaser. Press TV has named:
[00:20:50] pediatrical stem cell transplant, major milestone for program
[00:20:53] treating children with serious and life threatening diseases. now doctors say
[00:20:57] that two decades of experience in stem cell transplantation are now
[00:21:01] paving the way for further advances in cell and gene
[00:21:04] therapies.
[00:21:13] they came here first as patients, some were very
[00:21:16] young and some were fighting diseases that threatened.
[00:21:20] their lives, now years later, they are returning under
[00:21:24] very different circumstances, as survivors marking
[00:21:28] a milestone with the medical teams that treated
[00:21:31] them. about six years ago, when I was
[00:21:34] very young, I suddenly realized I couldn't walk anymore, I had
[00:21:38] become paralyzed, it happened while we were on our way to my aunt's
[00:21:42] house, that's when I started chemotherapy, later
[00:21:46] the doctors decided I needed a different treatment,
[00:23:20] now reached adulthood. Their return to the hospital turns
[00:23:24] this milestone into something more tangible, allowing doctors
[00:23:28] and nurses to see what years of treatment and follow-up
[00:23:32] can ultimately mean. 100 is an
[00:23:35] important medical milestone, but inside pediatric hospital,
[00:23:39] numbers tell a very different story: each transplant represents
[00:23:43] a child, family and donor that along with a large
[00:23:47] medical team have worked towards the same. active,
[00:23:51] giving that child the best possible chance of
[00:23:54] survival. Gisum Shah Madi Press TV,
[00:23:57] Tehran. That's right for your
[00:24:01] latest here on Press TV. Everyone, thanks for tuning a goodbye for
[00:24:04] now.
[00:24:28] For decades Iran has stated that the distinction between United States
[00:24:31] and Israel is often more political than practical, many
[00:24:35] dismiss that claim as rhetoric, but the numbers tell a
[00:24:39] story worth examining. Since the end the second world war,
[00:24:43] Israel has become the largest cumulative recipient of US military
[00:24:47] aid receiving 240 billion. dollars: can
[00:24:50] you imagine 240 billion dollars?
[00:24:54] today that relationship is anchored by a 10 year memorandum of
[00:24:58] understanding, guaranteeing at least 3.8 billion
[00:25:02] dollar in military aid annually, a commitment
[00:25:05] unprecedented in modern american foreign policy. wait,
[00:25:09] it has surpassed even this amount, watch till the end. first, this is not
[00:25:13] marely story about aid, much of funding is designed to be spent on
[00:25:17] American weapons, leaking Israel's. three capabilities
[00:25:20] directly to US weapons production, the result is a system in
[00:25:24] which a continuous pipeline of American financing,
[00:25:28] technology, spare parts, munitions and political
[00:25:32] backing sustains Israeli military power. The clearest
[00:25:36] example is the F-35 stel fighter. The jet is manufactured in the
[00:25:40] United States, controlled by the United States and supplied only to
[00:25:43] countries approved by Washington. Israel was the first to
[00:25:47] acquire the world's most advanced combat aircraft. For your
[00:25:50] information, Iran down F-35 as well, so how
[00:25:54] advanced it is, let's leave that for another time. Anyways,
[00:25:58] one F-35A cost average of
[00:26:01] 82.5 million dollars. Overall, the F-35
[00:26:04] program has cost more than two trillion dollars. Israel's
[00:26:08] customized F-35 fleet has since been deployed across multiple
[00:26:12] regional theaters from Lebanon and Syria to Iran and
[00:26:15] Gaza, killing thousands of people. The depth of US involvement
[00:26:19] became particularly visible during the June 2025 war against
[00:26:23] Iran. Washington authorized modifications to Israel's
[00:26:27] F-35 Felite, enabling the fighters to carry external
[00:26:30] fuel tanks and dramatical. increase their range, the
[00:26:34] result was capability to fly direct round trip missions to
[00:26:38] Iran without refueling, bypassing regional air bases and
[00:26:42] avoiding dependence on governments that might have refused to support such
[00:26:46] operations. Israel's missile defense architecture from iron
[00:26:50] dome to David Sling and arrow has likewise benefited from
[00:26:53] extensive American funding running in billions of dollars since
[00:26:57] October 2023 that dependence has become even more
[00:27:01] visible. Washington. has approved billions in additional military assistance,
[00:27:05] accelerated weapons, transfer, replenish stock piles and
[00:27:08] provided support a scale unmashed anywhere else in the
[00:27:12] world for Israel to continue Gaza genocide and also carry on
[00:27:16] aggression against other countries in the region. researchers estimate
[00:27:20] that US military aid linked to the Gaza genocide reached
[00:27:24] record levels. Iranian officials have long maintained that Israel
