[00:00:00] to give up their constitutional powers which were guaranteed by the dayton
[00:00:03] agreement together with the security
[00:00:06] of council. in this spirit of running rush out
[00:00:10] international law and security, there are
[00:00:13] of rickless actions being taken
[00:00:14] of in Ukraine. in order to supposedly constrain
[00:00:18] Russia, the US has destroyed the European security
[00:00:22] system and
[00:00:23] of created a rusophobic regime in Kiev. understanding how vain
[00:00:27] this
[00:00:28] of is, of Europe is doing everything it can, to
[00:00:31] of thort peace talks in which the Trump, the Trump administration
[00:00:34] is interested. The West is pumping the Ukrainian regime full of weapons helping
[00:00:38] Kiev to target drones and missiles to target them
[00:00:42] at civilians and civilian infrastructure. The west aspires to inflict
[00:00:46] strategic defeat on Russia, but these aspirations will
[00:00:50] result in the warmungers being led into a strategic dead
[00:00:54] end colleagues. A year ago
[00:00:56] of we marked the 80th anniversary
[00:00:58] of the victory
[00:00:59] of over. narcism and Japanese Japanese militarism.
[00:01:03] Next week on the 1st of October will be marking the 80th
[00:01:06] anniversary
[00:01:07] of the completion
[00:01:08] of the work
[00:01:08] of the Nurenburg Tribunal. This was a historical
[00:01:11] trial
[00:01:13] in which of
[00:01:14] of unequivocally of shamed the Nazi
[00:01:17] of criminals proclaiming what they did was illegal and
[00:01:21] immoral that the Nazi ideology
[00:01:23] of was inhumane
[00:01:24] and yet 80 years ago the lessons of Nurenburg were not learnt by
[00:01:27] everybody. The use leadership,
[00:01:31] according to their statements, are contaminated with the virus
[00:01:35] of racial superiority, they
[00:01:37] of espouse brusophobic extremist ideas. One
[00:01:42] of of the manifestations of
[00:01:43] of this is the fact
[00:01:44] of that they support the Ukrainian regime. In fact,
[00:01:48] they support them even when Kiev
[00:01:51] glorifies Nazi
[00:01:53] of collaborators and criminals up to the
[00:01:55] of elbows in the blood of Russians, Belorussians, Jews, Ukrainians and
[00:01:59] others. and at the same time here the west,
[00:02:03] here at
[00:02:03] the UN, they're voting against Russian resolutions, including the
[00:02:06] resolution, condemming the glorification of Nazism.
[00:02:10] Germany, Japan and all NATO countries are voting against
[00:02:14] it. This comes as not no surprise. We wish to underscore the
[00:02:18] outcome
[00:02:18] of the second world war is the basis for the post
[00:02:22] war World Order. It's ensrinned in the UN charter. The former
[00:02:26] access powers ratified this document and thus they recognized.
[00:02:30] responsibility for these countless
[00:02:32] of atrocities,
[00:02:34] of a result of nazi ideology and practices, and today when they turn a blind eye to Ukrainian
[00:02:38] narcism, well they undermining the basis
[00:02:42] of the un
[00:02:42] of centric world order, consigning to oblivion, the
[00:02:46] responsibility of Nazi Germany, including responsibility
[00:02:50] for the genocide
[00:02:51] of the Soviet people, and in fact in doing so,
[00:02:54] Germany is also Kiv's main sponsor, that's Chancelor
[00:02:58] Mertse is. stating that Germany must once again
[00:03:02] be a leading military power in Europe, does
[00:03:06] Berlin
[00:03:06] of understand what this could lead to? Didn't they not learn the lessons of World
[00:03:10] War II, the Ukrainian regime is undermining a
[00:03:13] cornerstone
[00:03:14] of the UN charter, not respecting human rights nor
[00:03:18] fundamental freedoms irrespective of race, sex,
[00:03:22] language or religion. Is there any other country
[00:03:26] apart from Ukraine where they banned language? You can...
[00:03:30] in prison for speaking Russian in Ukraine. In the
[00:03:33] EU,
[00:03:35] of where they say that they espouse European values, they are staying silent. They're not
[00:03:39] condemning this practice on Ukraine's part. This leads us to
[00:03:42] conclude that nazism and flagrant
[00:03:45] violations by the Ukrainian regime
[00:03:47] of the freedom of expression, information and worship, that this is in
[00:03:51] fact the bedrock of European values. In
[00:03:54] 2022, we began a special military operation to protect people in Donbas
[00:03:58] and Novarosia. protect them from elimination by the Kiv regime. Russia
[00:04:03] of continues to fight for their security and their rights full in keeping with the letter in the spirit
[00:04:06] of the UN charter. Our fight for truth and
[00:04:10] justice will be seen through to the end. The
[00:04:13] of objectives of our special military operation will be achieved and threats
[00:04:17] to our security will be eliminated. Peace will reign
[00:04:20] again. This will happen despite anything that might
[00:04:24] happen, including the inability
[00:04:26] of the current leadership
[00:04:27] of the UN to espouse the only correct. position in this situation
[00:04:31] surrounding Ukraine, a position of defending the principles
[00:04:35] and
[00:04:35] shrined in the UN charter, as a whole, in full in their
[00:04:39] interrelated nature, we believe that the new secretary general, who will
[00:04:43] elect before the end
[00:04:44] of the year, will miticulously uphold its mandate as well as the principles of
[00:04:48] impartiality and equidistance enstrined in the charter, that the new
[00:04:51] in SG will represent the entire international community instead of serving the interests
[00:04:55] of some states, that the new SG will not undermine the intergovernmental
[00:04:59] nature of the UN system system nor dilute the prerogatives
[00:05:02] of the security council and its permanent members our principal approach is the following: UN
[00:05:06] security council reform can not cannot involve any
[00:05:11] in additional seats being allocated. to western countries, especially
[00:05:15] to Germany and Japan who are now on the path to
[00:05:18] militarism and revanchism. We are in favor of
[00:05:22] broadening the representation of Asia, Africa and Latin America. We support
[00:05:26] Brazil's and India's candidatures for a permanent
[00:05:29] seat, and at the same time, I wish emphasize this, we must
[00:05:33] satisfy the interests the African continent in keeping with the
[00:05:37] Isalwini consensus and the SET declaration. Ladies and
[00:05:40] gentlemen, through its foreign policy, Russia is
[00:05:44] trying to fix the situation in the world, working together with our
[00:05:48] allies and strategic partners, bricks, the SCO, the Eurasian
[00:05:51] Economic Union, the
[00:05:55] CIS and the CSTO,
[00:05:58] we are promoting agenda which we can all
[00:06:02] get behind, a unifying agenda, concrete ideas and projects, today what's
[00:06:06] coming to the four is the topic of international information security,
[00:06:10] clearly the UN should play a central role in these
[00:06:14] discussions, not other narrow fora. In
[00:06:17] October of last year, in Hannoi, at Russia's
[00:06:21] Behest, the convention, the UN convention against cyber crime
[00:06:25] was opened for signature. We welcome the
[00:06:28] establishment the first
[00:06:32] standing global UN mechanism which seeks to help
[00:06:35] implement the convention. The UN shoulders
[00:06:39] a special responsibility given the fast pace development. of
[00:06:42] AI technologies generally recognized rules
[00:06:46] for the use of AI should be
[00:06:49] underpinned on equal
[00:06:52] foundation with
[00:06:54] the with the participation of all countries, the start the work the global dialogue
[00:06:57] a governance and the independent international scientific panel on AI,
[00:07:01] we believe these are steps on in the right direction. Russia supports
[00:07:05] China's initiative, that is the establishment of a global organization on
[00:07:09] AI cooperation. In the middle of a... the
[00:07:13] previous century, the USSR helped peoples in Africa,
[00:07:16] Asia and Latin America to free themselves from colonial dependence,
[00:07:20] further democratization in international affairs is impossible
[00:07:23] unless we eradicate neocolonial practices which remain
[00:07:27] evident. key milestone on this path was the adoption by the general
[00:07:31] assembly of resolution proclaiming
[00:07:35] the 14th of December, an international day against
[00:07:38] colonialism in all its forms and manifestations. we would be:
[00:07:42] delighted to see supporters of this fight
[00:07:46] against neocolonialism to
[00:07:49] partake an international interparty
[00:07:53] movement, the first assembly the four freedom of
[00:07:57] nations summit will take place in Russia in the coming months. colleagues,
[00:08:00] ensuring lasting peace is only possible if the
[00:08:04] main players in the global stage stop competing, this is only possible if we
[00:08:08] miticulously uphold the charter and the principle of equal and indivisible security.
[00:08:12] this... principle i'd like to remind you means not trying to
[00:08:16] further the security of one state at the expense the security of
[00:08:19] others. also, no country, no countries nor any
[00:08:23] groups of countries should try to dominate the security
[00:08:26] sphere. this applies first and foremost to NATO, which is trying
[00:08:30] to broaden it destructive influence far beyond its
[00:08:34] geographical realm, for instance in Asia.
[00:08:37] the values of broad-based cooperation on equal
[00:08:40] footing for. the foundation
[00:08:43] of President Putin's initiative on the establishment of a great
[00:08:47] Eurasian partnership and an architecture of security on the entire
[00:08:50] eurasian continent. Yesterday here in New York, Russia, Belarus and
[00:08:54] like-minded countries adopted a declaration on our intent to
[00:08:58] develop eurasian charter of diversity and multipolarity for the
[00:09:01] 21st century. We call on all of those who wish to be part of this
[00:09:05] pan continental architecture of peace and development to
[00:09:08] contribute to making this initiative success which aims to complement. and
[00:09:12] harmonized work on existing mechanisms in the spirit the
[00:09:16] geopolitical realities in this nacent multipolar world. i thank
[00:09:20] you.
[00:09:29] you were listening to two different speeches given by first
[00:09:32] cuban foreign minister addressing uh the 81st
[00:09:36] UNGA session. um, he began by talking
[00:09:40] about how the Bolivian government of Q faces a
[00:09:43] multi-dimensional uh us aggression, this was at the
[00:09:47] beginning of a speech when the US delegation walked out, he then talked
[00:09:51] about the aggression and the blockade against Cuba, he called uh called it
[00:09:55] an act of war against
[00:09:58] the Bolivarian country, he said the US goal of peace through
[00:10:01] strength is unrealizable, um, he had this
[00:10:05] remarkable sentence before he wrapped up uh his part
[00:10:09] of speech uh where he said the execute. is
[00:10:13] right now blaming the victim in Cuba
[00:10:17] and he emphasized the right to sovereignty
[00:10:20] and uh self-determination after the speech given
[00:10:24] by um cuban foreign minister at the
[00:10:28] UNGA, we heard Sergey Lavrov, foreign minister the country
[00:10:32] of Russia, speak at the UNGA, he began by calling
[00:10:36] for the immediate release the Venezuelan
[00:10:39] president and his wife that are being held captive in the
[00:10:43] US, he called uh
[00:10:45] unacceptable the US double standards that have taken
[00:10:49] place in the past year with the assassination of Ayatollah the
[00:10:53] leader of Iran on 28th - when US
[00:10:57] attacked uh civilian infrastructure and civilian nuclear
[00:11:01] infrastructure in Iran, he also called for the
[00:11:05] normal shipping routes and the global navigation and the
[00:11:09] straight of removes, he said the preerequisit to that deal
[00:11:13] would be the return of trust between the Persian Gulf countries, the
[00:11:16] Persian Gulf Arab countries and then Iran, and he
[00:11:20] also touched upon the situation of Cuba and how the
[00:11:24] bloccade is... illegal against the country, and at the end he talked
[00:11:28] about uh the war between Russia and Ukraine, he
[00:11:31] said uh the Russian forces will definitely achieve
[00:11:35] their objectives in their war against Ukraine, that's it for now, there are so
[00:11:39] many more details on those speeches which we're going
[00:11:43] to cover for you in the next news bulletin. For now,
[00:11:46] Iran's armed forces, the spokesman warns that the US and thisrody
[00:11:50] regime that if they make another miscalculation, the Islamic
[00:11:53] Republic's response.
[00:12:04] The armed forces are significantly stronger than they were at the beginning the
[00:12:07] 12-day war and the ramadan war. Thankfully, in terms of equipment,
[00:12:11] capabilities, and technology. We have worked to draw on the lessons learned
[00:12:15] from previous imposed wars. We have addressed all the needs the armed forces to
[00:12:19] confront any potential aggression by the United States and Israel and have prepared
[00:12:23] ourselves accordingly if they... once again make a miscalculation or a strategic
[00:12:27] mistake, the Americans will see on the battlefield that our strikes will be heavier,
[00:12:31] broader, more extensive and more precise than the strikes they experienced during
[00:12:35] the second and third imposed
[00:12:36] wars. the
[00:12:40] reaction came after the US media reported that Washington and Tel Aviv
[00:12:44] have decided to resume the bombing campaign against Iran after the
[00:12:48] mid-term elections in early November. US President
[00:12:51] Donald Trump on Saturday rejected the iran seven road map
[00:12:55] proposal to end of war. the proposal included the reopening
[00:12:59] the straight of moves and resuming the nuclear
[00:13:02] talks.
[00:13:06] Iran's president says the memorandum of understanding sign with the US in
[00:13:10] Islamabad can be the basis for the straight of removes to be
[00:13:14] reopened, criticizing Washington for failing to abide by the
[00:13:18] agreement. We had
[00:13:21] previously reached an agreement based
[00:13:23] on the mou that was signed.
[00:14:25] must be based on dialogue, patience and tolerance. referring
[00:14:29] to attacks on Iran's nuclear sites, the president said no country
[00:14:32] has the legal right to attack nuclear sites that are under the
[00:14:36] inspection the IAEa and are within the
[00:14:40] NPT framework. Fizishion called on the US to stop
[00:14:44] supporting Israel, which is carrying out a genocide and ured
[00:14:48] Washington to act on the basis of justice and
[00:14:52] fairness.
[00:15:03] Iranian foreign minister Abrahamshi Islam sanctions imposed on the Islamic
[00:15:07] Republic saying that such unilateral measures amount
[00:15:10] economic
[00:15:11] terrorism.
[00:15:16] Unilateral cohersive measures continue to be used as in as
[00:15:19] instruments of political pressure against developing
[00:15:22] countries. Iran has faced such measures for decades
[00:15:26] and they have intensified in recent years and
[00:15:29] months. US sanctions directly affect the daily lives of
[00:15:33] our people by restricting trade,
[00:15:37] finance, medicines, technology, education and scientific
[00:15:41] cooperation. From our perspective, their
[00:15:44] devastating impact on ordinary people amounts economic
[00:15:47] terrorism. The United Nations must oppose such
[00:15:51] coersive measures and call for their complete
[00:15:55] and unconditional
[00:15:56] removal.
[00:16:01] remarks a UN meeting on China's global development
[00:16:05] initiative. He said Iran defended. its sovereignty against
[00:16:09] US and israely attacks stressing that the international
[00:16:12] community must condemn the war crimes against the Iranian nation
[00:16:16] and she cited the USA4 attacks a school in the Iranian city
[00:16:20] of Minab, a sports hall in lamerd and the medical
[00:16:24] research post store institute in Tehran saying
[00:16:28] these facilities for education, sports and medicine were
[00:16:31] reduced to rubble, he said such attacks exposed
[00:16:35] the inhumane nature the human. aggression and must never be
[00:16:39] normalized or whitewashed. Iran's foreign minister said
[00:16:43] over 500 people, including women and children were killed in
[00:16:46] the US in Israelity aggressions. Alchi said the assassination
[00:16:50] the leader the Islamic Revolution and Iran's senior
[00:16:54] political and military officials was heinous
[00:16:57] crime and a flagrant violation the international
[00:17:01] law. Spokesman of
[00:17:05] Iran's defense ministry says the... have failed in their
[00:17:08] calculations about the Islamic Republic's military
[00:17:12] capabilities. Buorier general said parts of
[00:17:16] Iran's strategic military equipment have been kept in
[00:17:20] secure environments and underground infrastructure. He
[00:17:23] added that Iran's enemies pursued common objectives in
[00:17:27] several wars in the country, including attempts to
[00:17:31] overthrow the establishment the Islamic Republic,
[00:17:34] we can its regional power and resistance. front and
[00:17:38] undermine its strategic position. Talo unique
[00:17:42] noted that the adversaries failed to achieve their
[00:17:45] objectives.
[00:17:56] Iran's supreme national security council secretariat
[00:17:59] says Tehran is pursuing negotiations with relevant countries
[00:18:03] to left unlawful US restrictions on air travel.
[00:18:07] while warning that several non-military retaliatory
[00:18:11] options could be applied to certain airports if
[00:18:14] necessary, the secretariat says efforts to resolve the
[00:18:18] issue are being seriously pursued and expresses hope that the
[00:18:22] situation will not escalate further. meanwhile,
[00:18:25] bad organization secretary general Hadi Al-Amiri
[00:18:29] strongly condemned the US blockade of Iran,
[00:18:32] particularly the recent restrictions on flights. he urged
[00:18:36] Iraq's government not to submit to the measures, saying the
[00:18:40] issue is a test of Iraq's full sovereignty. Earlier
[00:18:44] Iraq's prime minister called for exemptions from the US
[00:18:47] sanctions targeting global companies that work with Iranian
[00:18:51] airlines. Baghdad says it is in contact with
[00:18:54] Washington to exclude several Iraqi airports
[00:18:58] from US treasury measures linked to the new
[00:19:01] sanctions.
[00:19:11] approaching the second anniversary the mortidom of Hisbollah's chief,
[00:19:15] said Hasan Nasrollah.
[00:19:17] For more than three decades, Nasrollah led the resistance movement and guided the
[00:19:21] Lebanese people through difficult times in confronting the US in
[00:19:25] Israelity belligerants. His life and sacrifice left
[00:19:28] lasting lessons for those who resist oppression. We
[00:19:32] have more in this
[00:19:33] report.
[00:19:47] Two years after his martyrdom, the image of Hazbullah chief
[00:19:50] Sayid Hasan Nasrallah remains deeply embedded in Lebanon's
[00:19:54] political and military history. His legacy and
[00:19:58] discourse also remain inspirational for those resisting the Israeli
[00:20:02] occupation and atrocities in the
[00:20:04] region.
[00:20:08] increasingly portrayed the lebanese resistance, not simply as a
[00:20:11] military force, but as national
[00:20:14] struggle.
[00:20:18] Resistance is non-negotiable, it is not open for
[00:20:21] compromise, reconsideration, rethinking or reflection,
[00:20:25] no matter the cost or sacrifice.
[00:20:29] words resonated with people's grievances, beliefs and hopes for the
[00:20:33] future. they gave ordinary people a sense of agency and
[00:20:37] hope in contrast to the politically driven speeches of
[00:20:41] many autocratic Arab leaders in July
[00:20:45] 2006 captured two Israeli soldiers a
[00:20:49] cross border. Israel responded with a month
[00:20:52] long war that devastated large parts of Lebanon and displays
[00:20:56] hundreds of thousands of people. Throughout the 33-day
[00:21:00] war, nastral law's televised addresses became a constant
[00:21:04] feature the battle. After the cease fire, when he appeared
[00:21:08] publicly in Beirot, hundreds of thousands gathered to hear him
[00:21:12] speak. This is the
[00:21:15] victory the real Lebanon, the victory the real people of Lebanon and
[00:21:20] all the loyal people in this country. Almost a day after
[00:21:24] Israel's genocidal war on Gaza began in October
[00:21:27] 2023, Hezbollah carried out the retaliatory
[00:21:31] strike. The Lebanese Resistance movement realized what happened
[00:21:34] in Gaza was not a passing event, but rather a political
[00:21:38] and military earthquake in West Asia. The decision to
[00:21:42] join the support front was made to preserve the principles and
[00:21:46] ideas the resistance discourse. Say Hasan.
[00:22:00] In the name the marters, the wounded, the ones who lost their eyes and
[00:22:03] palms, and in the name of every person who has taken on the responsibility of
[00:22:07] supporting Gaza, we tell Netanyahu and Gallant, the Lebanese
[00:22:11] front will not stop until the war on Gaza ends. A year
[00:22:15] later, he fulfilled that well with his blood, he was
[00:22:19] assassinated. by Israel in Beirot along with the number of
[00:22:23] his companions. Nastrala's funeral in the Lebanese
[00:22:26] Capital became one the largest in Lebanon's recent
[00:22:29] history. The massive turnout offered a visual
[00:22:33] testament to the loyalty he commanded and the political and symbolic
[00:22:37] weight he had accumulated over decades. Today
[00:22:41] Lebanon's political sin remains turbulent considering
[00:22:44] vicious plots hatched by the United States and Israel to disarm
[00:22:48] Hezbollah. The Lebanese. resistance, however, is vigilant and won't
[00:22:52] allow enemies implement their plans, according to
[00:22:55] Hazballah Secretary General, Sheikh Naim Qasem, resistance
[00:22:59] is the only way for confronting global arrogance in
[00:23:02] Israel.
[00:23:06] Reoccupation forces have a storm Berzeit University in
[00:23:10] Romelo in the occupied Westbank. The raid has drawn
[00:23:13] condemnations from the educational institution. Versait
