We've [00:01:11] stated our [00:01:12] of conditions and presented our plan. It depends on the US and how much [00:01:15] political rationality exists on that side, and whether they are prepared to [00:01:19] take the wise path to pursue the path of diplomacy and [00:01:22] negotiation, or whether they want to, as in the past, move toward [00:01:26] military action. Compared to the past, we are better. prepared for [00:01:30] both scenarios, if they should consider testing us once again, [00:01:34] they will see a worse result than the [00:01:36] past. [00:01:41] made the remarks during his trip to Turkmenstan, he said Iran does not [00:01:45] about to pressure and that the straight of mous will only [00:01:48] reopen if Iran's conditions are fully [00:01:51] accepted. he also briefed torman officials on regional [00:01:55] developments and Iran's combat readiness.

[00:02:12] the deputy secretary of Iran Supreme National Security Council says [00:02:16] Tehran and Beijing both hold the US and already regime [00:02:20] responsible for starting the war in [00:02:22] Iran. [00:02:26] of a common understanding was reached at the United States and [00:02:37] of [00:02:45] of [00:03:00] with high level [00:03:02] لا officials has met with the Chinese foreign minister and discussed [00:03:06] the consequences [00:03:06] of the US and his duty war in Iran.

According to [00:03:24] Almayadin trilateral talks involving Iran, Oman and [00:03:28] China are underway. focusing on Oman's renewed [00:03:31] mediation between Tehran and [00:03:33] of Washington to be backed by Chinese economic and security [00:03:37] guarantees. Meanwhile, Iran's top security official, [00:03:41] Major General Musen Razahi held a telephone [00:03:45] of conversation with the Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss [00:03:48] regional developments. The two also stressed the need for [00:03:52] strategic cooperation based on the mutually [00:03:55] agreed road [00:03:57] map. [00:04:02] Iran's navy says a violating oil tanker caught fire after [00:04:06] hitting a sea mine and the straight of hermoz. [00:04:09] a According to the navy, [00:04:11] a the tanker was moving [00:04:11] in a prohibited and unsafe area east [00:04:14] of the straight of Herm when it struck seam causing a [00:04:18] fire on board. The vessel had switched off its navigation [00:04:22] systems. The navy warn tanker owners to learn from the [00:04:26] of fate of such vessels which tried to pass through prohibited. [00:04:30] areas by turning of navigation systems and [00:04:33] said unauthorized passage through high risk areas can [00:04:37] of lead to mine strikes and fires. the [00:04:41] IRGC's navy [00:04:43] in command has said that from October the 25th, the date of [00:04:47] Centcom Commander Brad Cooper's show visit to the straight of remoz to [00:04:51] date, that's nine days later, 11 violating [00:04:55] tankers have burned in the straight of remos with some sinking to the [00:04:58] depths [00:05:02] in of of The battle for control of Congress is [00:05:06] becoming a contest of unprecedented financial [00:05:10] proportions with wealthy donors and powerful lobbing [00:05:13] networks pouring millions into key races. Among the [00:05:17] biggest players is the pro Israel lobby whose growing role in this [00:05:21] campaign financing is raising questions about [00:05:24] money, political influence and also the future the US [00:05:28] policy toward [00:05:29] Israel. The [00:05:32] 2026 US mid-term elections are the most expensive in American [00:05:36] history. With campaign spending exceeding even that of recent [00:05:40] presidential elections, billions of dollars are. pouring into congressional [00:05:43] races, but behind the unprecedented spending battle is another powerful [00:05:47] force, wealthy donors and lobbying networks seeking to shape Washington's political [00:05:51] agenda. Pro Israel organizations, led by Apac, have [00:05:55] emerged as major financial players investing heavily races involving [00:05:59] candidates who challenge unconditional US support for Israel. According [00:06:03] to the latest data, spending on political advertisements and reservations [00:06:06] reached $11.21 billion dollars by October 26th, compared [00:06:10] with approximately 3.2 billion. dollars during the 2024 [00:06:14] presidential election season. The figures underline the extraordinary financial [00:06:18] scale of this year's midterms, while billionaire donors such as Elon Musk, [00:06:22] George Soros and Michael Bloomberg are financing candidates across party [00:06:25] lines. Money connected to the ProIsrael lobby has become particularly [00:06:29] influential in congressional contests. At the center of this network is the [00:06:33] American Israel Public Affairs Committee or APAC and its [00:06:36] affiliated super pack, the United Democracy Project. The ladder [00:06:40] raised approximately 104. million dollars during the 2026 [00:06:44] election cycle through June, already exceeding its entire fundraising total for [00:06:48] 2024. Much of this money has gone into primary contests [00:06:52] where outside spending can determine which candidates advance to the general [00:06:55] election. In Michigan, Apax political network spent more than [00:06:59] $30 million dollars in the Democratic Senate primary, backing Congresswoman [00:07:03] Haley Stevens against Abdul El Saied, who is critical of United [00:07:07] States support for Israel. Elsey had ultimately won the nomination, [00:07:11] despite the massive. campaign against him, the influence these [00:07:15] organizations extends beyond Michigan. In Illinois, Apec [00:07:18] affiliated groups poured millions into congressional primaries targeting [00:07:22] candidates critical of Israel. In Kentucky, the United Democracy [00:07:26] project spent millions opposing Republican Congressman Thomas Massy, [00:07:29] another vocal critic of US policy toward Israel. The stakes are [00:07:33] particularly high in Texas, Ohio and Michigan, which rank among the [00:07:37] most expensive Senate contests the election cycle, more than [00:07:40] $534 million has been. spent on the Texas race alone, while [00:07:44] spending in Ohio has exceeded $435 million and Michigan [00:07:48] Senate Contest has attracted approximately $333 [00:07:51] million. The record spending raises a fundamental [00:07:54] question: how much influence should wealthy donors and powerful lobbying [00:07:58] organizations have over the people elected to represent ordinary voters? And [00:08:02] when it comes to Washington's policy toward Israel, how much of that political [00:08:06] agenda is being shaped by financial pressure rather than public [00:08:09] opinion. Garlin [00:08:13] Nixon, radio host and political analysts in Washington [00:08:16] DC joined us earlier for his insight into the [00:08:20] upcoming us mattermal [00:08:21] elections. [00:08:25] Well, what's driving this is the realization the American [00:08:28] public that they are not being um represented by [00:08:32] the uh the the members of congress and by their political so-called [00:08:36] representatives that they're on their own and so what's happening because the [00:08:39] issues cannot be discussed um a way that will be [00:08:43] attractive to the voters, instead they have to try to fool the [00:08:47] voters, they have to use creative um ways to uh [00:08:51] convince the voters to vote for them that are not related to policy, and that's very [00:08:54] expensive. these uh uh people who are [00:08:58] potential members of congress are literally vetted. i have had [00:09:02] people who running for congress tell me, running actually even for state [00:09:06] offices tell me that they had to go to an apec um office [00:09:10] to be vetted um, to ensure that they [00:09:13] sufficiently supported Israel before they could even run. what's the [00:09:17] point of voting? why are we voting? um, you can't vote your way [00:09:21] out of it. that is um, recognition [00:09:25] in my opinion that uh, their voices are [00:09:29] not heard, and that there is not democracy for the [00:09:32] masses. there [00:09:33] is a, as as, you've kind of illustrated this, there is a battle between [00:09:37] competing factions the ruling elite and the American people and the working [00:09:41] class, don't get a... in this and the the American people are starting to see [00:09:45] it because it's so obvious and I'll just say this particularly in the last [00:09:48] election where the president the United States ran a platform [00:09:52] of peace that was very attractive to lot of voters and he won [00:09:56] a coalition that no one ever thought would come together people who had [00:09:59] different ideological views all came together because they wanted [00:10:03] peace [00:10:04] and when [00:10:05] he got in office they got they [00:10:06] got the opposite and I think that was dramatic lesson for the electorate here [00:10:10] in the United States. [00:10:14] After two weeks of school holidays, a student protest resumed [00:10:18] across France on Monday November the second, but several high [00:10:22] schools blocked, the students have denounced police via. saying [00:10:26] they will continue mobilizing despite the [00:10:28] pressure. [00:10:32] student protests have resumed in France. high school students have now [00:10:36] organized blockades as the movement has entered new phase. the return [00:10:40] to school has not brought an end to the mobilization. students [00:10:43] say their demands remain unanswered and insist they are determined to [00:10:47] continue [00:10:48] protesting. [00:10:52] we knew the movement would not lose momentum during the hall. and here [00:10:56] we are, back for the start the school year, the government is wrong if [00:11:00] it thought we would stop, this is not just a symbolic movement, it [00:11:04] reflects widespread anger, and we want things to change, of [00:11:07] course we're not going to stop here, the police violence against [00:11:11] us shows the government's hypocrisy, they don't want things to [00:11:14] change, so they use heavy police repression to make us abandon the [00:11:18] struggle, but that's not going to stop us, find it [00:11:21] unacceptable, and it really shows how little the government listens. [00:11:24] We're [00:11:32] tired the government refusing to listen to us, if they listened, things [00:11:36] would be better, it would all move faster, and we would have ended the [00:11:39] blockades, all we want is better conditions to study. We want to [00:11:43] study, we're not blocking schools because we want to skip classes, [00:11:47] we actually want to learn, but the government doesn't understand that, they think [00:11:51] violence will stop us from protesting, but it only makes us even angrier. [00:11:55] going to keep fighting until they give in, because we've had enough, but the return [00:11:58] to school was also marked by reports of physical violence during [00:12:02] police [00:12:03] interventions, [00:12:11] police officers violently beat us this morning, one [00:12:14] officer even tore my sweater while violently pulling me to the [00:12:18] ground, they threw me to the ground, my classmates were being [00:12:22] choked, another student was grabbed by the leg. [00:12:55] protesters say they will not be silenced and intend to keep mobilizing [00:12:59] until their demands are heard. [00:13:02] Casim Hasan, reporting for Press [00:13:05] TV in Paris. [00:13:09] Spokesman the Yemen Armed forces says Yemen has carried out [00:13:12] retaliatory strikes on Saudi Arabia's Gizan and [00:13:16] Damam over the past two days. Brier general said he [00:13:20] said to two drone strikes targeted Damas airport [00:13:23] disrupting. fican another hit an early warning [00:13:27] radar side in Gizon. He also said a military transport [00:13:31] aircraft at Gizon airport was targeted. Spokesman added [00:13:35] that Saudi fighters fighter jets conducted [00:13:38] 109 attacks on Yemini provinces over the past [00:13:42] day. Strikes have left several civilians dead [00:13:45] or wounded. [00:13:49] Five people have been killed in freshers ready attacks under Gaza's trip as the [00:13:53] palestinian death dolls. since October 2023 [00:13:57] rises to 74,609. [00:14:00] Gosa's health ministry says 11 Palestinians were killed and [00:14:04] 38 oters wounded over the past 48 hours, [00:14:08] bringing the total number the wounded to [00:14:11] 175,872. [00:14:15] At least 1,500 Palestinians have been killed since the last [00:14:19] year's sease fire. Is strikes have continued across the [00:14:23] besieg territory. despite the truth with civilians, [00:14:27] including children among the [00:14:29] victims. over [00:14:33] a century has passed since the British government represented [00:14:37] by its then prime minister, Balfor, issued [00:14:40] inhumane declaration to the zianist movement. this [00:14:44] declaration promised them a state on Palestinian land. In [00:14:48] essence, it was an endorsement for the Israel gangs to [00:14:51] occupy Palestine. [00:14:56] Over 109 years have passed painfully since the [00:15:00] despeable balford declaration issued by the British government to the [00:15:03] Zeonist on November the 2nd 1917 promising them [00:15:07] a stay on Palestinian land, a promise given by those who had no [00:15:11] right to give it to those who didn't deserve [00:15:13] it. From a historical [00:15:17] perspective, the Palestinian people had been living on these lands for [00:15:20] centuries before even the British mandate. Palestine was part [00:15:24] the... Ottoman empire, but the British government decided to reward the [00:15:28] Zionists for their role in World War II by granting them Palestine [00:15:32] to establish new entity. This declaration [00:15:35] unequivocally authorized. [00:16:09] Since I was young girl, I have witnessed the Israeli atrocities and [00:16:13] massacres against the Palestinian people. I remember how the Israeli [00:16:17] gangs occupied the Gaza strip in 1967. [00:16:21] It's no wonder that the Israeli crimes continue unabated. [00:16:24] I lost 36 relatives in the Israeli genocidal war on [00:16:28] Gaza. All of this is a direct result the Balford [00:16:32] declaration, which allowed the Israeli occupation to expel us from our [00:16:36] lands. [00:16:46] This complicity primarily enabled the establishment the Israeli regime [00:16:50] on Palestinian land and allowed Israeli gangs to commit atrocities [00:16:54] against [00:16:54] Palestinians. [00:16:59] We marked the Balford declaration this year a midst the ongoing [00:17:02] genocidal war in Gaza which is one of its significant [00:17:06] consequences. Even after over a century since the [00:17:09] declaration, the glaring double standards persist. I [00:17:13] firmly believe that as long as western countries continue to show more [00:17:16] complicity, the Israeli crimes will [00:17:19] persist. More than a [00:17:22] century after that declaration, Palestinians [00:17:25] across all Palestinian teitories continue to suffer its [00:17:28] consequences. They face increased violence, [00:17:32] displacement and injustice. With over 7 million [00:17:35] Palestinians still living as refuge. is scattered [00:17:38] worldwide. The consequences the [00:17:41] uphorrent Balford declaration continue to profoundly affect the [00:17:45] Palestinian people who remain subjected to ongoing injustice [00:17:49] and suffering. They continue to b the devastating human [00:17:53] coast of western complicity and the international communitys [00:17:57] persistent failure to [00:17:59] take meaningful action to and the suffering and uphold their [00:18:03] fundamental rights. The central area [00:18:07] of God. a [00:18:10] step: it was an unprecedented [00:18:12] large scale strike bringing together dock workers at more than 100 [00:18:16] ports across several continents. their message was [00:18:19] clear, stop the war and halt arms shipments to Israel for [00:18:23] use in its military campaign in the occupied [00:18:26] Palestine. [00:18:35] doc workers across more than 100 port stage a [00:18:39] coordinated global strike against arms shipment [00:18:43] in uh to Israel in occupied palestine organized [00:18:46] under the banner duck workers don't work for war and [00:18:50] supported by the no harbor for genocide campaign [00:18:53] demanding that port facilities not be used to [00:18:57] transport weapons destinated for war zones over [00:19:01] 25 unions across five continents [00:19:04] participated the action was described by organizers [00:19:08] as the largest coordinated international strike [00:19:12] by port workers ever aimed at halting the [00:19:16] militarization of civilian ports. key [00:19:20] participating ports included Perus in [00:19:23] Greece, Genova and Triist in [00:19:26] Italy, Lohhav and Mersey in France, [00:19:30] Valencia and Algeries in Spain, [00:19:33] Tanger Mad in Morocco, Hamburg in Germany and [00:19:37] Navacheva in India, a prominent flash [00:19:41] point was Perse in Greece. It stuck are [00:19:45] Greece's largest seaport and the major gateway for [00:19:48] cargo and passenger ferries. In Istanbul, [00:19:52] protesters gathered outside uh Hyder Passa [00:19:56] port with banners reading, "No to war, no to [00:19:59] armament." Spanish union coordinator uh mobilized [00:20:03] across 15 ports including Barcelona, while Swedish workers. [00:20:07] struck at 11 ports, their slogan, no to war, [00:20:11] no to armament. organizers [00:20:14] estimated the strike could destropt over 40% [00:20:18] of Mediterranean cargo traffic with participating ports [00:20:22] handling 63% of container traffic in the region. [00:20:26] approximately 52,00 containers were [00:20:30] halted during the 24-hour action and using a [00:20:33] un average of $54, [00:20:37] per container, the effected shipments were valued at [00:20:41] roughly $2.8 billion, other [00:20:44] estimated plion dollars, other estimated play over [00:20:48] $2 billion dollars. The aim was to target military related [00:20:52] cargos. For example, the campaign noted that armed shipments [00:20:56] continued flowing through ports despite announced [00:21:00] export bans. The cargos targeted included [00:21:03] weapons, ammunition, military equipment and [00:21:07] components for Israel's elbit systems, the country's largest [00:21:11] arms manufacture. The no harbor for genocide [00:21:14] campaign tracked 315 shipments of elbit [00:21:18] systems components. through 56 commercial [00:21:22] ports in 29 countries between August [00:21:25] 2025 and September 2026. [00:21:28] Campaigners also monitored 3,400 shipments [00:21:32] supplying American military bases through 67 ports in [00:21:36] 42 countries. Egypt's port said uh was [00:21:40] flag said flagged was a transit point where [00:21:44] ships reportedly listed the port before disabling [00:21:47] aIS signals raising traffic. transparency concerns [00:21:51] about final [00:21:52] destinations, and that [00:21:56] brings us to the end of this edition of world news bulletin, the spotlight [00:21:59] program is coming up next, so stay [00:22:01] tuned. [00:22:22] Crisis devastating wars, [00:22:25] terrorism, the Israeli [00:22:28] lobby, [00:22:32] crackdown, [00:22:36] diplomacy. [00:22:42] Iran prepared for any [00:22:44] scenario. [00:23:04] I have a [00:23:04] dream, [00:23:11] and now let's hear what President Trump has to say about oil [00:23:15] prices. I never say this, because and what you'll cut all [00:23:19] of this stuff. and they'll leave the little sentence, our [00:23:23] country is making more money than it's ever [00:23:26] made because the fact that oil is so high, now they're going to [00:23:30] say, isn't it terrible? he talked [00:23:33] about the fact that he doesn't care [00:23:36] about the little person, they call them, i care more [00:23:40] about the little person than i care about the big person, i care about the little person like [00:23:44] crazy, we're winning, we're winning that one very big by [00:23:48] the way, in case you haven't noticed. [00:24:43] Behind the cold lifeless statistics of war lie [00:24:47] human faces, each one's a world of life. laughter and [00:24:51] unfulfilled dreams, people whose entire share of this earth [00:24:54] was reduced in a single instant a picture frame a [00:24:58] wall. one of those names is Ilia Khatami, a [00:25:01] 12-year-old boy from the city of Lamer full of [00:25:04] vitality, sharp-witted and with smile that never left [00:25:08] his face. Like many boys his age across the globe, he had a [00:25:12] dream.
