[00:00:00] had an Iranian attack on the
[00:00:02] in American soil, saying US leaders conjure up an imaginary enemy to
[00:00:05] frighten their own people.
[00:00:09] Despite earlier denials, the Pentagon admits that the number of troops
[00:00:13] killed in the aggression against Iran is higher than previously
[00:00:17] reported with nearly 900
[00:00:19] injuries. And finally, new poll shows
[00:00:23] the French
[00:00:23] in president's popularity has fallen to the lowest level since
[00:00:26] of 2017, amid violent protests and cost. living
[00:00:30] concerns.
[00:00:45] Hello and welcome everyone. You're watching Press TV world news. Let's go ahead and get started
[00:00:49] with the stories that matter. Well,
[00:00:53] Euron's a foreign ministry spokesman has slammed
[00:00:55] the US president's latest claims about a possible Iranian attack on
[00:00:59] the... american soil, saying the real enemy
[00:01:01] of the American people is their own administration. Ismile
[00:01:05] basts after Donald Trump said just a post after Donald Trump
[00:01:09] said just could take out the cities of Los, could take out the
[00:01:13] cities of Los Angeles and San Diego.
[00:01:16] of Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said to frighten their own people, US leaders
[00:01:20] conjure up an imaginary enemy in the
[00:01:23] of sky to overshadow the real threats on the ground. He added that the
[00:01:27] real danger to American people lies
[00:01:29] in a rule. establishment that has imposed an illegal war
[00:01:33] on the world with global consequences. He noted that Trump has
[00:01:36] even described the destruction of Los Angeles and San
[00:01:40] Diego, as quotes a very small price to pay.
[00:01:43] Bai said this is textbook example
[00:01:46] of the politics of fear, frightening people with an imaginary threat,
[00:01:50] portraying the destruction
[00:01:52] of their own cities as acceptable price to pay and diverting
[00:01:56] their attention from the real danger.
[00:02:01] Despite earlier denials, a US War department has admitted that the
[00:02:05] number of troops who have died in the aggression against Iran
[00:02:09] is higher than previously reported. According to the Washington
[00:02:13] Post, the Pentagon in its latest reports has raised the
[00:02:16] official death tool of US troops linked to military aggression against
[00:02:20] Iran to 21, acknowledging that two additional deaths
[00:02:24] had not been previously included in its figures. The newly
[00:02:28] included deaths are in army. major who died in Kuwait on March the
[00:02:32] 6th, and an unidentified navy service member who died by
[00:02:36] suicide in
[00:02:36] of September. The
[00:02:38] of updated figures
[00:02:39] of also showed that 865 US service members
[00:02:42] have been also wounded during the aggression against Iran.
[00:02:46] Separately, the U.S. military confirmed the death of another soldier in
[00:02:50] Iraq claiming that he lost his life
[00:02:53] in a training
[00:02:54] a accident unrelated to the aggression against Iran. The update
[00:02:58] of came after the Washington Post report. last month that the number of
[00:03:01] casualties from the war was greater than what the Pentagon has
[00:03:05] disclosed publicly. At
[00:03:07] of the time, US War Secretary Pete Hagsath called that report a
[00:03:10] complete
[00:03:11] lie.
[00:03:15] Author and journalist Robert Fantina says, although Trump portrays the
[00:03:18] aggression against Iran as necessary and downplays
[00:03:22] of its human and financial cost, the American public sees it as an
[00:03:26] unnecessary war of choice that has been very costly.
[00:03:33] now the
[00:03:35] in recent up to 21 up to
[00:03:38] 21, one might say is only two soldiers,
[00:03:42] of however of for those two soldiers and that's extremely
[00:03:46] significant, and the fact that the
[00:03:49] units government was willing to ignore them or avoid their
[00:03:52] of reality, a certainly insulted and degraded to not only those
[00:03:55] victims in their lungers, but all the military who are being forced
[00:03:59] to.
[00:04:01] this uh awful situation, so Donald Trump
[00:04:04] wants the
[00:04:06] of U.S. populist to look at this as
[00:04:08] in something unimportant, not costly
[00:04:10] of in terms of lives or money, and just just
[00:04:14] necessary military
[00:04:15] of adventure, it is none of those things, it has
[00:04:17] of been extremely costly in terms of lives and money, and it
[00:04:21] of is a completely unnecessary and
[00:04:24] illegal and immoral aggression against Iran, there does seem to be
[00:04:28] something a little. unusual about that, if nearly
[00:04:32] 900 were injured and only 21
[00:04:35] of died and get enough were lost, but we were
[00:04:38] lost, but it does seem to be rather strange
[00:04:41] proportion. now the soldier who died in
[00:04:45] Kuwait apparently was killed when
[00:04:49] the Iranian forces attacked US
[00:04:52] bases in in Kuwait, so the fact that only
[00:04:56] one person died in that, we can see it as...
[00:05:00] But is it
[00:05:01] of true? Meanwhile, Iran has taken European
[00:05:05] countries to task for their inaction in the face of US sanctions
[00:05:09] on the international criminal courts and Washington. threat to dismantle the
[00:05:13] court, a social media post, heron's foreign ministry spokesman
[00:05:17] said, while US secretary of state Markio the
[00:05:20] brick by brick, it's brick by brick, its
[00:05:23] allies failed to rain it in, orders collapsed not only
[00:05:27] through additional orders collapse not only through
[00:05:30] this becomes normalized and the world becomes normalized and the world
[00:05:33] remains silent. he then asked European countries does standing
[00:05:37] alongside ally, ally mean defending
[00:05:41] international law and order, or does it mean joining that ally and
[00:05:44] dismantling them? the spokesman added that if law and justice are
[00:05:48] sacrificed to appease an aggressive and bullying allie
[00:05:51] ally, then talk of human rights and
[00:05:54] rules-based international order will be nothing more than empty
[00:05:58] rhetoric. the ICC says US sanctions constitute
[00:06:01] attempt to obstruct justice and prevent the tribunal from
[00:06:05] fulfilling its mandate. the UN has also called US
[00:06:09] sanctions on the ICC serious float to the world's collective
[00:06:13] punish pursuit of international
[00:06:15] justice.
[00:06:19] For his part, investigative journalist Rick Sterling says, while the US
[00:06:23] once manipulated international organizations to serve its
[00:06:26] interests, it is now increasingly defying international law and
[00:06:30] acting like a
[00:06:31] gangster.
[00:06:35] In the past, the US was able to manipulate international
[00:06:38] organizations to do its bidding.
[00:06:43] uh, but increasingly it's it's defying international
[00:06:46] law openly. I think it's clear to all people that
[00:06:50] uh, the United States is increasingly acting like a
[00:06:53] gangster. If you do its bidding, it will reward you,
[00:06:57] if you defy it or you show some
[00:07:01] resistance, then it will punish you,
[00:07:04] and we see an example of another country that has been doing this for
[00:07:08] decades and that of course is is Israel.
[00:07:12] "and with the genocide in Gaza, with the rampant attacks on
[00:07:16] Palest Palestinians in the West Bank, the war on
[00:07:19] Iran, including the murder of thousands of innocents.
[00:07:23] It seems like we're returning to an era in the past that was the
[00:07:27] Vietnam war, where the United States was hated around
[00:07:31] the world, and it's um, it's really a sign
[00:07:34] of how pathetic the European elites that
[00:07:38] they are not willing to to stand up and to '
[00:07:42] uh to indicate Mr. Prime Minister
[00:07:46] Mr. Prime Minister Mot more courage than any the
[00:07:50] more courage than any the European leaders and
[00:07:54] talking about how how bad this is and and how there
[00:07:57] needs to be a reevaluation of where we're at at the
[00:08:01] United
[00:08:02] Nations.
[00:08:06] Another news, French president Emmanuel Macron's popularity has
[00:08:09] fallen to its lowest level since taking office in... 2017,
[00:08:13] this according to new poll which was published on Saturday. The survey
[00:08:17] found that just 15% of respondents approved Macron's
[00:08:21] performance as president down one point from a month
[00:08:25] earlier and the lowest score of his presidency. Most respondents
[00:08:28] have cited purchasing power as their top concern,
[00:08:32] followed by worries about the future the country's welfare system and
[00:08:36] France's debt levels. The poll results came as France
[00:08:40] faces record fuel prices and massive protest by high
[00:08:43] school students. For many days now, protesters, including many
[00:08:47] students, have been rallying outside schools, chanting
[00:08:50] anti-government slogans. The government says thousands, mostly
[00:08:54] minors, have been arrested since the unrest began. The poll also
[00:08:58] revealed that among politicians seen as political successors to
[00:09:02] Macron, far right leaders, Jordan Bardela and Marine
[00:09:06] Lepen are the most
[00:09:07] popular.
[00:09:12] and prisoners rights groups have called on the Israeli regime to repeal the law
[00:09:16] that imposes the death penalty on Palestinian prisoners. The
[00:09:20] call came a statement issued on the occasion the world day against the
[00:09:24] death penalty. The rights group said the death penalty within
[00:09:27] Israel's legal system is no longer merely matter of legislative
[00:09:31] provisions, but has become part the regime's daily
[00:09:35] practices against Palestinian prisoners. They added that
[00:09:38] Palestinian prisoners have endured the most brutal forms of systematic.
[00:09:42] killing and elimination in Israeli prisons and detention
[00:09:46] facility since the beginning the Gaza genocide. They said Israeli
[00:09:50] jails have turned into major sites for physical and psychological
[00:09:53] torture of Palestinian prisoners through slow killing
[00:09:57] policies, torture, systematic starvation and denial
[00:10:01] of medical treatment and healthcare. The group said these conditions have led
[00:10:05] to the deaths of at least 92 identified Palestinian
[00:10:08] prisoners since October 2023, which they described as a
[00:10:12] deadliest period in the history the Palestinian
[00:10:15] prisoners.
[00:10:19] Moving on now to the people in Crocus which have
[00:10:23] rallied in the Venezuelan. capital and solidarity with the Palestinian
[00:10:27] people, and to condemn the years of genocide in Gaza.
[00:10:31] Demonstrators say Palestine has become a symbol of resistance and
[00:10:35] human dignity, linking the Palestinian struggle against occupation and
[00:10:39] colonialism to the historical experiences of Latin American
[00:10:43] peoples.
[00:10:47] Well, defending Palestine is a way, what people today refer to as the
[00:10:51] cause of humanity, understanding that colonialist actions and act of.
[00:10:55] occupation are issues that are just as relevant to us as Latin American
[00:10:58] peoples, so it's a connection that we can boil down to that in the most
[00:11:02] straightforward terms, to defending the cause of humanity,
[00:11:05] basically
[00:11:11] resistencia, palestine is a symbol of resistance, palestine is a symbol of human
[00:11:15] dignity, palestine calls upon and unites critical voices,
[00:11:18] voices of solidarity and the compassion of peoples and here we are from
[00:11:22] Venezuela, the Venezuelan movement from solidarity with Palestine and
[00:11:26] other social organizations, making this exhibition possible, call
[00:11:30] for solidarity to denounce the genocide, to denounce and demand an end to
[00:11:34] the genocide that over the past three years, well has
[00:11:38] claimed the lives of 75,000 people, most them
[00:11:41] minors, children, mothers, pregnant women and
[00:11:45] infants, and unfortunately we cannot accept this,
[00:11:49] lamentablemente no lo podemos aceptar, porque se han cumplido
[00:11:52] recientemente third
[00:11:53] el 7 de octubre, anniversary of
[00:11:57] a genocide intensified by the Israeli regime, but we must
[00:12:01] remember that there have been more than
[00:12:03] marked the 79 years of apartate occupation and perpetual, flagrant
[00:12:07] colonialism by the occupying regime, which constantly
[00:12:11] oppresses the palestinian people. what we have witnessed over the past three
[00:12:14] years has been an intensification of what Palestinians have actually endured
[00:12:18] for more than seven decades, so it is a collective
[00:12:21] responsibility, a global, international responsibility.
[00:12:55] city in three years of genocide in Gaza. The horrific devastation
[00:12:59] waged by Israel would not be possible without the weapons
[00:13:02] and support the United States. Ramond Mes has more from
[00:13:06] Washington
[00:13:06] DC.
[00:13:11] Supporters of Palestine across the United States joined the International
[00:13:15] Global Day of Action on October 10th to finally stop
[00:13:19] the U.S. Israeli genocide in Gaza. The global
[00:13:23] outrage took place on the day of last year's so-called
[00:13:27] cease fire. Israel has attacked Gaza on almost
[00:13:31] 330 out the past 365
[00:13:34] days, killing almost 1,500
[00:13:37] gazons. For three years, no country other than
[00:13:41] Israel has been more complicit in the horrors than Washington, where
[00:13:45] a bipartisan effort has given Israel the military,
[00:13:48] political and economic support required to murder at
[00:13:52] least 3% of Gaza's entire. population with
[00:13:56] the actual figure likely much higher, the generation in
[00:14:00] america that was raised with the idea that we won the ideological
[00:14:03] war, and we are the good guys that abide by the human
[00:14:06] rights, have seen definitively that that is
[00:14:10] false, the um, our leaders, whether they are democrat
[00:14:14] or republican do not value human rights or human life, i
[00:14:18] think it doesn't matter where is democrat or republicans, it's unacceptable to
[00:14:21] fund this, this is absolutely horrid,
[00:14:25] and we're watching it live streamed on TikTok, Instagram and through our phones,
[00:14:29] it's in what many believe is a prelude to
[00:14:33] attempt at Israeli occupation, 82% of
[00:14:37] Gaza's buildings have been destroyed, displacing 90%
[00:14:40] the population, most the water and sanitation network has been
[00:14:44] demolished, along with 90% of schools and
[00:14:48] 300 journalists have been killed in the last three years,
[00:14:52] but unlike past Israeli war crimes, "this one couldn't
[00:14:56] be covered up, the social media is on our side now,
[00:15:00] before it wasn't, um, the probaganda is less
[00:15:04] now, people are more aware, we definitely won media
[00:15:07] war, people are more aware of what's going on in Palestine, before a
[00:15:11] lot of people didn't know what's going on, what's actually going on in
[00:15:14] Palestine. In an enormous political shift, polls now show
[00:15:18] that Americans sympathize more with Palestinians than with
[00:15:22] Israelis, as the first ever live stream. genocide has
[00:15:26] finally revealed to the entire world what the zionist imperialist
[00:15:30] project has always
[00:15:31] been. Washington
[00:15:34] DC. Capital saw the largest
[00:15:38] demonstration for Palestine since last year on the global day of
[00:15:42] action with tens of thousands marching through Berlin on
[00:15:45] Saturday. Organized by the Coalition United for Palestine, the
[00:15:49] demonstration was marked by zinus provocations, heavy police
[00:15:53] presence and even several arrests. Our correspondenis
[00:15:57] reports from
[00:15:58] Berlin.
[00:16:02] No peace on stolen land was the slogan of this demonstration, marking
[00:16:06] the server.
[00:16:37] years have passed and the genocide continues. The Israeli killing
[00:16:41] machine backed by the USA and in particular Germany continues to
[00:16:45] kill, displace and destroy. Speaker slamed the ongoing German
[00:16:49] complicity in the genocide. The country is Israel's second largest
[00:16:53] arms trader, the second largest arms trader. Despite
[00:16:56] contrary claims from Israel has further increased since the beginning the year
[00:17:00] as late as August of this year, Germany
[00:17:04] finished manufacturing a new submarine for.
[00:18:07] the genocide, it has not stopped and the whole world is watching.
[00:18:11] Although the demonstration remained peaceful, it saw heavy police presence and
[00:18:15] several arrests were made for expressing support for the
[00:18:18] resistance forces and for using the slogan from the river to the sea, Palestine will
[00:18:22] be free. Of course, there were some arrests
[00:18:26] too. Unfortunately, that is normal in Berlin, but we
[00:18:30] succeeded because we were able to hold the demonstration. People made their voices
[00:18:34] heard. We must keep going until the killing stops.
[00:19:07] Gaza after the years of genocide. Max Chavili
[00:19:11] reports. More than
[00:19:15] 10,000 people took to the streets the Italian capital, Rome to
[00:19:18] stage a march in support the Palestinians after three years of
[00:19:22] Israeli regimes genocide. The march organized by
[00:19:26] Palestinian student movements, the young Palestinians of
[00:19:29] Italy, Association of Palestinians in Italy and the Arab
[00:19:33] Palestinian Democratic Union started from the iconic.
[00:19:52] We say enough with the genocide, enough with imperialistic wars
[00:19:56] of aggression. Gaza has been under
[00:20:00] attack for more than 70 years. Enough with Israel saying that
[00:20:04] it has the right to self-defense. and a
[00:20:08] pretext to perpetrate its ethnic cleansing campaign, the
[00:20:12] Rome March dubbed the end of genocide is the end
[00:20:15] of Zionism, coincided with similar march held in
[00:20:19] some 50 Italian cities. People at the rally are
[00:20:23] calling on the Italian government to once and for all sever
[00:20:27] all ties with Israel. In April, Rome
[00:20:30] announce that it would suspend its defense cooperation agreement with Tel
[00:20:34] Aviv, move that many down play.
[00:20:51] information
[00:20:58] going less around, less especially and on arms trafficking, on weapons dest on arms
[00:21:02] There is trafficking, on weapons destined for Israel. There is no willingness to change
[00:21:06] things, not only from the Italian government, but also from the opposition party. Lobby
[00:21:10] is as strong as the American one, and Italy is simply subjugated by these
[00:21:14] groups. Marches in support the besieged
[00:21:17] Palestinians were also held in.
[00:21:26] October 7 represents a day of
[00:21:28] resistance. Press TV,
[00:21:31] Rome. Hundreds March through
[00:21:35] Brussels condemning Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza, one year
[00:21:38] after Donald Trump announced a ceasefire. Protesters accused
[00:21:42] western governments of enabling Israeli atrocities while Palestinians
[00:21:46] continue to be killed. Jerome Huws reports from the Belgium.
[00:21:53] anger spills onto the streets of Brussels as hundreds march
[00:21:57] against Israels continuing assault on Gaza,
[00:22:00] accusing western governments of complicity in the
[00:22:04] genocide. It's been
[00:22:06] over 20,000 kids, it's been over three years of genocide,
[00:22:09] everybody says so, genocide scholars, Israeli genocide
[00:22:13] scholars, it's been over 70 years of illegal
[00:22:17] occupation, we want Palestine to be free. from
[00:22:20] Israel, simply it's the they committed a
[00:22:23] genocide in Gaza,
[00:22:26] it's it doesn't require a lot of
[00:22:30] effort to to to to prove that. one year
[00:22:34] after Donald Trump announced his much publicized ceasefire.
[00:22:38] Humanitarian and human rights organiz, humanitarian and human rights
[00:22:41] organizations say it exists in name only,
[00:22:45] over 1,400 Palestinians including at least
[00:22:49] 320. 97 children have been killed in Israeli
[00:22:52] regime attacks since the agreement was announced.
[00:22:56] Meanwhile, almost two million people in Gaza desperately
[00:22:59] require shelter, hospitals are
[00:23:02] overwhelmed and hunger remains
[00:23:05] widespread. Campaigners criticize the
[00:23:08] international community for allowing Trump's so-called
[00:23:12] ceasefire to provide cover for continued
[00:23:16] killing and suffering. Protesters are.
[00:23:20] manding an end to European armed supplies to Israel,
[00:23:24] accusing EU governments of helping fuel the bloodshed.
[00:23:27] I think that's a question of responsibility of all the
[00:23:31] people and all the country in Europe to step to
[00:23:35] arm Israel, yeah, we are responsible, what's happening
[00:23:38] there? campaigners reject attempts to portray opposition
[00:23:42] to Israel's actions as religious dispute,
[00:23:45] insisting this is about humanity. protesters say
[00:23:49] humanity. remains conspicuously absent from the policies
[00:23:53] of Netanyahu and his western backers towards
[00:23:56] Palestinians. Jerome Hughes Press TV,

[00:28:36] One morning, the balance of power in West Asia was
[00:28:39] shattered. October 7th was not simply another day
[00:28:43] of war. It was the moment, decades of assumptions,
