The [00:02:36] Chinese side also addressed this as very serious matter that cannot be [00:02:40] easily overlooked. They condemned the assassination and [00:02:43] stressed that it was an unprecedented [00:02:45] crime. [00:02:54] With the higher level officials.

China [00:04:13] of of always voices the opposition to external military strikes against Iran and China affirmed the support for Iran's [00:04:17] sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, this is [00:04:20] the position. Al was the Chinese advocates for [00:04:24] of resolving dispute through political and diplomatic means, they don't [00:04:28] like to be dragged in. to any [00:04:30] in conflict, china used its position in the [00:04:34] UN and security council, bricks and shanghai [00:04:38] cooperation organization to provide Iran as [00:04:42] well with political cover and to challenge [00:04:45] us lead brusher which is through wars [00:04:48] of or sanctions against Iran. this [00:04:51] strategic relationship between in China and [00:04:56] of Iran always worked to reduce Iran international. [00:05:00] isolation and proved it support Iran [00:05:04] in so many levels and to to [00:05:07] be members of of multilateral blocks [00:05:11] as breaks as the shanghai and that is [00:05:15] is a part the way the Chinese and Iranian [00:05:18] seen how to reduce the Americans Higermany [00:05:22] in in in Asia and west [00:05:23] Asia. [00:05:27] Iran's navy says a violating oil tanker caught fire [00:05:31] after hitting a seam mine in the straight of Ramus. According to the [00:05:35] navy, the tanker was moving a prohibited and unsafe area [00:05:38] east the straight of Formus, but it struck seam. [00:05:43] causing a fire onboard, the vessel had switched off its [00:05:46] navigation systems, the nav warned tanker owners to learn [00:05:50] from the fate of such vessels which try to pass through [00:05:54] prohibited areas by turning off their navigation [00:05:57] systems and said unauthorized passage through high risk [00:06:01] areas can lead to mine strikes and fires. the [00:06:05] IRGC's navy command has said that from October the [00:06:09] 25th, the date of sendcom commander, [00:06:12] Cooper's show visit to the straight of Ramus, to date, that's nine [00:06:16] days later, 11 violating tangers have burned in the [00:06:20] horm straight with some sinking to the deaths the [00:06:23] sea. [00:06:32] Our correspondent is now joining us from the holy city of Massha to share with [00:06:36] us what's happening at the nightly rallies that have been ongoing since the [00:06:40] beginning the war of aggression. On Iran:in amini, up [00:06:44] to [00:06:44] you. [00:06:48] Mention, um, it's been almost 250 [00:06:52] nights that Iranians started taking to the streets in defense the [00:06:56] Islamic establishment and the armed forces the Islamic Republic of [00:06:59] Iran against the aggressions committed against their [00:07:03] country. Now, there are few points important points that should be [00:07:07] mentioned here. One them is people are expressing joy [00:07:11] over ' "the new directive issued by [00:07:15] the leader the revolutioni regarding Iran's military [00:07:18] doctrine that Iran will not be geographically [00:07:22] restricted in terms of defending itself against [00:07:26] it adversaries should they commit any mistake [00:07:30] against their country, that's what people have been demanding and that's what [00:07:34] they have been asking for very long time, so talking to the people tonight here in [00:07:37] Mashad, that's what that's the most important point perhaps that I came to [00:07:41] realize. "the second thing is that they are expressing [00:07:44] their wish for Iran to revisit its [00:07:48] membership in NPT, that's what Iranians are saying that [00:07:52] there is no point in remaining member of [00:07:56] NPT for the whole structure [00:07:59] of NPT is they find it ineffective and [00:08:03] useless, they have been talking me about the ineffectiveness in [00:08:07] ineffectiveness of NPT, that's what they have been saying that Iran [00:08:10] also should also ' revisit his position, its [00:08:14] membership in NPT and also Iran perhaps should revisit [00:08:18] its nuclear doctorine, [00:08:21] so the these nightly gatherings, [00:08:24] Kiaras, as you know, are now a part of people's routine, [00:08:28] they are saying that they will not rest and they will be here in the streets every single [00:08:32] night, not just here in Mashad but all over the country in [00:08:36] defense their country until victory is completely [00:08:39] achieved for the for their country. [00:08:43] and also of course the most important thing also is [00:08:46] their expression [00:08:50] of support for the leader the revolution that any directive he [00:08:53] issues they will they will support, but the new directive regarding Iran's [00:08:57] military doctrine is what they have been asking for very long time and they have been [00:09:01] expressing joy over that and they have been saying that they will they will remain [00:09:04] in the streets a very interesting manner they have been [00:09:08] saying that they will remain in the streets even if it takes 250 years so [00:09:13] "there's nothing that going to stop them, they will be [00:09:16] here securing the streets while the on forces the Islamic Republic of [00:09:20] Iran take care the battlefields, so very interesting [00:09:24] vibe since this city is [00:09:27] where demart leader Ali Khamenei is [00:09:31] put to rest, so these people consider themselves [00:09:35] as the neighbors of as he [00:09:39] was also born in mashad and he's also put rest in mashad [00:09:43] so very interesting by people are still here [00:09:46] of course this nighty gathering got just got done uh but people are [00:09:50] still here in the streets kids are playing [00:09:53] people are finding it as lifestyle basically to be [00:09:57] here in the streets every single night [00:09:59] they engage in different kind of social [00:10:03] activities it's gone beyond just mere gathering [00:10:07] it's now definitely part their life [00:10:09] sh respondent reporting from the [00:10:13] holy city of Masha, thank you so much for that [00:10:16] report, more than 11 billion [00:10:19] dollars in political advertising is projected for America's [00:10:23] 2026 mid-term elections. sparking debate over the [00:10:26] influence of billionaires, big tech and powerful [00:10:30] political organizations. pack is at the center [00:10:33] the online backlash with users questioning its role [00:10:37] in helping republicans maintain their congressional [00:10:41] majority, an advanced Donald Trump's foreign policy [00:10:44] agenda. [00:10:50] $4.2 [00:10:52] billion. That's how much the [00:10:56] ultra rich have poured in to this mid-term [00:10:59] election. This is not complicated, so follow me [00:11:03] now. If the ultra rich are [00:11:07] willing to invest 4.2 billion [00:11:11] dollars a mid-term election with no president [00:11:15] on the ballot, the only people they care about [00:11:19] on the ballot, are your congress [00:11:22] people and your senators that are... running and why do they [00:11:26] care? because those are the people who write the [00:11:29] laws, those are the people that decide [00:11:33] who gets taxed and how [00:11:36] much and where that money gets [00:11:38] spent. [00:11:44] i am sitting out mid-terms and all elections, unless a true [00:11:48] American first that receives no money from [00:11:51] ipac. [00:11:56] "Now the common denominator isn't IPAC anymore, but Pro [00:11:59] Israel statements and [00:12:01] stances. [00:12:07] When did we decide it was normal to spend billions of dollars trying [00:12:11] to influence elections in this country. Elon Musk [00:12:15] alone has reportedly contributed more than 445 million [00:12:19] to federal political committees during the 2026 election [00:12:23] cycle, and meanwhile, American families are struggling to afford [00:12:26] groceries, housing, healthcare, and basic necessities, it [00:12:30] just bothers me. You know, I know campaigns [00:12:33] cost money, nobody's arguing that they shouldn't, but when did our elections [00:12:37] become so focused on who can raise the most money instead of who [00:12:40] has the best [00:12:41] ideas? [00:12:47] Big tech tried to buy the midterms. The mid-terms may bury big [00:12:51] tech. You can fund a campaign, you cannot buy a backlash. [00:12:59] Well, all that money invested in losing elections, we are not benefiting from that [00:13:03] money. [00:13:11] Garlin Nixon, radio host and political analyst is in [00:13:15] Washington DC, joined us earlier with his insight into the [00:13:18] upcoming US mid-term [00:13:20] elections. [00:13:24] Well, what? driving this is the realization the American [00:13:28] public that they are not being um represented by [00:13:31] the uh the the members of congress and by their political so-called [00:13:35] representatives that they're on their own and so what's happening because the [00:13:39] issues cannot be discussed um a way that will be [00:13:43] attractive to the voters, instead they have to try to fool the [00:13:46] voters, they have to use creative um ways to uh convince [00:13:50] the voters to vote for them that are not related to policy and that's very [00:13:54] expensive. "these [00:13:57] uh uh people who are potential members of congress are literally [00:14:00] vetted. i have had people running for congress tell me, running actually [00:14:04] even for state offices tell me that they had to go to an [00:14:08] apec um office to be vetted um [00:14:12] to ensure that they sufficiently supported Israel before they could even [00:14:15] run. what's the point of voting? why are we voting? um, [00:14:19] you can't vote your way out of it. that is [00:14:21] um recognition in my..." [00:14:25] opinion that uh their voices are not [00:14:28] heard and that there is not democracy for the masses. [00:14:32] there is a, as as, you kind of illustrated this, there is a [00:14:36] battle between competing factions the ruling elite and the American [00:14:39] people and the working class don't get a say in this, and the the American [00:14:43] people are starting to see it because it's so obvious. i'll just say this, particularly [00:14:47] in the last election where the president the united states ran a [00:14:51] platform of peace that was very attractive to lot of voters. [00:14:55] and he won a coalition that no one ever thought would come together, people [00:14:59] who had disperant ideological views all came together because they [00:15:02] wanted peace, and when he got in office they got the they got the [00:15:06] opposite, and I think that was dramatic lesson for the electorate here in the [00:15:10] United States. After two weeks [00:15:14] of a school holidays a student protest resumed across [00:15:17] France on Monday, November the 2nd, but several high [00:15:21] schools blocked. Students have denounced police violence saying They will [00:15:25] continue mobilizing despite the [00:15:27] pressure. [00:15:30] Student protests have resumed in France. High school students have now [00:15:34] organized blockades as the movement has entered new. the return [00:15:38] to school has not brought an end to the mobilization, students [00:15:42] say their demands remain unanswered and insist they are determined to [00:15:46] continue [00:15:46] protesting. [00:15:51] we knew the movement would not lose momentum during the holidays and here [00:15:55] we are back for the start the school year. the government is wrong if it [00:15:59] thought we would stop. this is not just a symbolic movement. it [00:16:02] reflects widespread anger and we want things to change. of [00:16:06] course we're not. going to stop here, the police violence against [00:16:10] us shows the government's hypocrisy, they don't want things to [00:16:13] change, so they use heavy police repression to make us abandon the [00:16:17] struggle, but that's not going to stop us. find it [00:16:20] unacceptable, and it really shows how little the government listens to the [00:16:24] people. [00:16:27] for months now, we've been demanding our rights, we're tired the government [00:16:31] refusing to listen to us, if they listened, things would be better, [00:16:35] it would all move faster. and we would have ended the blockads, all we want is [00:16:39] better conditions to study, we want to study, we're not blocking [00:16:43] schools because we want to skip classes, we actually want to learn, but [00:16:47] the government doesn't understand that, they think violence will stop us from [00:16:51] protesting, but it only makes us even angrier, we're going to keep fighting until [00:16:54] they give in because we've had enough, but the return to school was also [00:16:58] marked by reports of physical violence during police [00:17:01] interventions [00:17:02] with students describing what they say were brutal acts against them [00:17:06] really. [00:17:37] so we'll give nothing has changed, we're [00:17:41] nothing has changed, we're still angry, and in [00:17:45] response to that anger, they send the police to beat us, it's [00:17:49] absurd. despite the school holidays, the student [00:17:52] movement is continuing, protesters say they will not be [00:17:56] silenced and intend to keep mobilizing until their demands are [00:17:59] heard. Casim Hasan, reporting for Press [00:18:03] TV in [00:18:03] Paris. [00:18:08] Spokesman the Yemeni Armed forces says Yemen has carried out [00:18:12] retaliatory attacks on Saudi Arabia's Gizon and DOM [00:18:16] over the past two days. Burgadier general Yahyadi said [00:18:19] two drone strikes targeted Damom airport disrupting [00:18:23] or traffic and another hits early warning radar [00:18:27] site and Gzon. He also said a military transport [00:18:30] aircraft at Gson airport was targeted. Spokesman [00:18:34] added that Saudi Fighter Jets conducted one [00:18:37] 109 attacks on Yemani provinces over the past [00:18:40] day. The strikes have left several civilians dead [00:18:44] or [00:18:45] wounded. [00:18:50] Five people have been killed in Fresses Ray attacks under Gaza's trip as [00:18:54] the Palestinian death doll since October 2023 rises to [00:18:58] 74,609. Gaza's [00:19:02] health ministry says 11 Palestinians were killed and [00:19:05] 38 oters injured. over the past 48 hours, [00:19:09] bringing the total number the bunda to [00:19:12] 175,872. [00:19:16] At least 1,500 Palestinians have been killed since last [00:19:20] year's sease fire. Israely strikes have continued across the [00:19:24] besieg territory, despite the truce with civilians [00:19:27] including children among the [00:19:29] victims. Over [00:19:33] a century has passed since the British government represented. [00:19:37] by its then prime minister Balford issued [00:19:41] inhumane declaration to the zinest movement. This [00:19:44] declaration promised them a state on Palestinian [00:19:47] land. In essence, it was an endorsement for the Israel gangs [00:19:51] to occupy Palestine. Watch this [00:19:53] report. [00:19:58] Over 109 years have passed painfully since the speakable [00:20:01] bell for declaration issued by the British government to the zionist on [00:20:05] November the 2nd 19. promising them a stay on [00:20:09] palestinian land, a promise given by those who had no right to give [00:20:13] it to those who didn't deserve it. from [00:20:17] a historical perspective, the Palestinian people had been living on these [00:20:21] lands for centuries before even the British mandate. [00:20:24] Palestine was part the Ottoman Empire, but the British government [00:20:28] decided to reward the Zionists for their role in World War to by [00:20:32] granting them Palestine to establish new entity. This [00:20:35] declaration. [00:20:50] is a land devoid of people and should be given to people without [00:20:53] land, this premise laid the foundation for one the most [00:20:57] brutal occupations the humanity has ever witnessed, as perceived by the [00:21:01] zist as the green light occupy Palestine and expel its [00:21:05] indigenous [00:21:06] population. [00:21:10] Since I was young girl, I have witnessed the Israeli atrocities and [00:21:14] massacres against the Palestinian people. I remember how the Israeli [00:21:18] gangs occupied the Gaza. strip in 1967. [00:21:22] It's no wonder that the Israeli crimes continue unabated. [00:21:26] I lost 36 relatives in the Israeli genocidal war on [00:21:29] Gaza. All of this is a direct result the Balfor [00:21:33] declaration, which allowed the Israeli occupation to expel us from our [00:21:37] lands. [00:21:41] For many, the Israeli genocidal war against Gaza is viewed [00:21:45] as the culmination of western complicity. This complicity primarily [00:21:49] enabled. establishment the Israeli regime on Palestinian land [00:21:53] and allowed Israeli gangs to commit atrocities against [00:21:56] Palestinians. [00:21:58] Welf. We mark the Balford declaration this [00:22:02] year emits the ongoing genocidal war in Gaza, which is one of [00:22:06] its significant consequences. City, the Israeli crimes will [00:22:10] persist. More than centery [00:22:14] after that declaration, Palestinians across all [00:22:17] Palestinian teitories continue to suffer. consequences, [00:22:21] they face increased violence, displacement and [00:22:24] injustice with over 7 million Palestinians still living as [00:22:28] refugees [00:22:29] is scattered worldwide. The consequences [00:22:32] the uphorrent Balford declaration continue to profoundly affect [00:22:36] the Palestinian people who remain subjected to ongoing [00:22:40] injustice and suffering. They continue to bear the [00:22:44] devastating human coast of western complicity and the [00:22:47] international communitys persistent fair. to take meaningful [00:22:51] action to end their suffering and uphold their fundamental [00:22:54] rights, the central area of [00:22:58] gaz st. before [00:23:02] we wrap up this section, we have breaking news coming in.

[00:26:33] from a an illegal expulsion by Ohio [00:26:37] State University which he fought and successfully defeated [00:26:40] in court to the total blacklisting and eraser of his major [00:26:44] social media platforms across TikTok and Meta, which is also [00:26:48] a direct targeting not only of his voice, but his livelihood, and [00:26:52] most recently, just days ago, upon returning to the US from a [00:26:56] trip to China, he was pulled aside at LAX and [00:26:59] subjected to a targeted interrogation, which undeniably [00:27:03] is you know intimidation tactic aimed at silencing domestic [00:27:07] political opposition, so guy, welcome to [00:27:10] rock the cradle, it's such a pleasure to have you on with [00:27:13] us, um, thank you so much, yeah, of [00:27:17] course, so I mean, I want you to tell me more about what happened, this was just matter of days [00:27:21] ago, and really like from your experience, and also like I'm curious to [00:27:25] know, what specific lines of questioning did they push, and really what does the [00:27:29] signal about where things are at in the US, and how the US views. you [00:27:32] guys, how how the US views domestic activists that are not only speaking [00:27:36] up, but traveling outside these, western information [00:27:40] bubbles? so there's a pattern that i [00:27:43] um really experienced as i've become an [00:27:47] activist uh starting around three and a half years ago where [00:27:51] at first i was just making [00:27:52] you know videos online, expanding my knowledge, learning more about palestinian [00:27:56] history, resistance and developing my critique of [00:28:00] American imperialism and how to combat. and [00:28:03] what i learned very quickly and it started with the first time [00:28:06] ever um did in-person event where i was speaking at [00:28:10] um it was called the end of empire event i was 18 years old uh [00:28:14] freshman in college and the FBI came and harass me at the [00:28:17] airport um before i flew out someone had tried to put me a do [00:28:21] not fly list you know smear my name make accusations against [00:28:25] me and that triggered the FBI to come and try to stop me from going [00:28:29] to this event and what i've experienced uh since then [00:28:33] lot more conferences, lot more actions, lot more organizing, traveling to [00:28:37] Cuba, traveling to Spain, traveling now to China, is that every [00:28:40] single time activists go out and do in real life [00:28:44] organizing, that is when they face the most depression, right, [00:28:47] so in terms of that, I've had, when I went to [00:28:51] Qatar at the beginning [00:28:52] of this year to speak at the algezeer conference about free speech in America and the pro- [00:28:56] palestine movement, Israel was using their social media accounts to leave a [00:28:59] terrorist, they helped motivate the deletion. of my uh [00:29:03] youtube at the time we were able to get that restored um and [00:29:07] now um fast forward to literally a week ago while [00:29:11] was in China um there to expand my international [00:29:14] perspective and really just understand how their system works [00:29:17] and how different it is from the United States empire uh it's it's [00:29:21] quite the opposite I saw lot of great things in China is [00:29:25] that while I was on that trip a week ago they deleted my [00:29:29] TikTok page while I was there this is a page with three 8.6 million [00:29:33] followers, it was, I would say one the top [00:29:37] pro-palestine pages on TikTok, um, out of Jenzi activist, it was [00:29:41] definitely top top 10, and they [00:29:44] deleted it out of nowhere, things had changed so [00:29:48] much since uh TikTok was forced by the United States federal government [00:29:52] to spin off their US arm, their American version the app, yes to a [00:29:56] consortium of right-wing zionist billionaires uh headed by Larry [00:30:00] Ellison himself as many no has built out a massive [00:30:04] media monopoly uh uh part the uh American's [00:30:08] media diet, he controls [00:30:10] you know rough estimates 33 to 40% of what everyone [00:30:14] consumes a daily or weekly basis um and this is something he's done in the [00:30:18] last two years tiktok was part of that and um so I [00:30:22] guess it comes to me as as not a surprise per [00:30:26] say but it was only matter of...
