[00:00:49] hello and welcome everybody, it's 1:30 p.m. here in the Iranian capital [00:00:52] tehron, this is press tv's world news. our top story for this half [00:00:56] hour, a senior commander [00:00:57] of the isamic revolution guards course says Iran's armed forces are fully prepared [00:01:01] to deliver [00:01:03] a decisive response to any hostile action. the commander [00:01:06] of the IRGC's ground forces [00:01:08] of brigadier general [00:01:09] of Muhammad Karami made the remarks during visit to Persian Gulf islands [00:01:13] and military units [00:01:15] of station there. he said Iran stands firm against its adversaries and [00:01:19] will not back down. the [00:01:20] of senior IRGC commander also expressed confidence that Iran and the [00:01:24] resistance front will prevail. his remarks coming renewed US threats [00:01:28] of aggression against Iran Iranian and officials have warned that any attack would [00:01:32] trigger immediate and forceful response with no geographical [00:01:35] limits. [00:01:41] Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Core says two oil tankers have caught [00:01:44] fire in the straight of hormos after attempting to cross [00:01:48] unauthorized roots and striking sea mines. In a [00:01:52] statement the [00:01:53] of IRGC said, tug boat approaching one [00:01:55] of the tankers to put out the fire also caught [00:01:58] fire. The IRGC United States of pressuring [00:02:03] of ships to use unauthorized mine laden roots in the [00:02:06] in straight of hormos, it said this policy is imposing huge [00:02:10] insurance costs on American taxpayers and Washington's [00:02:14] regional allies. The IRGC added that Washington could have avoided these [00:02:19] a of costs by unfreezing Iran's blocked assets, which are worth less than half [00:02:22] of the expenses incurred so far. It also said the move could have [00:02:26] spared the US president to humiliating electoral defeat. [00:02:30] the IRGC warned that attempts to violate regulations in [00:02:34] the straight of hormos would only bring further financial losses and [00:02:38] political setbacks for Washington separately it said its navy's [00:02:41] electronic warfare unit had taken control of two [00:02:45] of US Lucas drone safely landed them and seized the [00:02:48] aircraft.

[00:04:20] France faces [00:04:24] in of nationwide wave of strikes and protests says trade unions mobilize workers against rising living costs and government [00:04:28] austerity measures stations brought together [00:04:31] workers, high school, university students who have been [00:04:35] protesting deteriorating school conditions, over crowded classrooms and [00:04:39] inadequate facilities. ahead [00:04:40] of the [00:04:41] of strikes, France's four main rail unions condemn the government's [00:04:44] of proposed budget cuts [00:04:46] in warning they would deepen poverty, weaken social security [00:04:49] and freeze public sector salaries. the latest [00:04:53] mobilization comes as president's government struggles to push an [00:04:57] of austerity budget through [00:05:01] in a divided parliament with approaching 120% [00:05:02] of the [00:05:03] of country's economic [00:05:04] output [00:05:11] of [00:05:11] for more Azar joins us now from the French Capital [00:05:14] Paris. Let's jump right in. First of all, talk to us [00:05:17] about uh the new wave of nationwide strikes [00:05:21] uh that France uh is uh gearing up to face today [00:05:25] and in the coming days. Yes, um, indeed, my [00:05:29] colleague, the decision for this strike is not new. [00:05:33] It started almost two weeks ago when the [00:05:36] meeting with the government with le cornie reached [00:05:40] a dead end with. eight um labor [00:05:44] unions on the 21st of October, the negotiations [00:05:48] over a pay rise over raising the minimum wage [00:05:52] over [00:05:56] um, you know doing another budget and and and [00:06:00] and facing this authority budget reached a that and then [00:06:03] and since then eight unions eight labor [00:06:06] unions decided that it's time for a general [00:06:10] um strike here. in Paris, the images [00:06:14] here are of city that is very much slowed [00:06:18] down, not completely shut down, but very much [00:06:22] disrupted, but what what usually took, [00:06:25] what usually takes me 30 minutes to to to a trip of 30 [00:06:28] minutes took me this morning two hours, [00:06:32] the most the training stations here um usually crowded [00:06:35] today are dead empty because commuters [00:06:39] decided that um they're not going to work because [00:06:42] because the um lines of transports are [00:06:46] very much disrupted, here I'm standing right now in in in [00:06:50] in in Gardulon and this is Gardinor sorry, and [00:06:54] this is Paris's most crowded [00:06:58] train station, but it doesn't look so um um [00:07:01] today, it is the frequency of most the [00:07:05] trains run a very low frequency and [00:07:09] as the day unfolds we will we will see how [00:07:13] how how the numbers of most the [00:07:17] striking sectors will [00:07:19] be? right, so let's also [00:07:23] talk about the heavy-handed uh police crackdown and [00:07:26] police response that we've seen uh in the face [00:07:30] these nationwide protests exactly, [00:07:34] exactly, mean the police brutality scenes in France over [00:07:38] the last month have become something mandain and [00:07:41] something... usual, I mean even here around the Gardenor, [00:07:45] the police presence is quite heavy today, [00:07:49] as um [00:07:51] usually in the last weeks, 70 [00:07:55] policemen will be deployed, um, helicopters to monitor the [00:07:59] demonstrations will be deployed, drones as well, it feels [00:08:03] like the country is not actually um witnessing peaceful [00:08:07] demonstrations, it feels like it's witnessing wars of [00:08:10] aggressions, um, these... these tactics or [00:08:14] these approaches don't usually come from so-called [00:08:17] liberal western democracy, just last [00:08:20] week after the last week's [00:08:23] demonstrations, more than 200's [00:08:26] demonstrator was detained and was kept [00:08:30] detained, since the beginning of this [00:08:34] movement and this mobilization, [00:08:37] over 3ous demonstrators were detained, [00:08:40] many, many, many them were minors. and many them um [00:08:44] um were violated and brutalized by by the [00:08:47] police. [00:08:51] is that how durable is the movement cohesion that we're [00:08:55] seeing right now? it's university students, it's trade [00:08:58] unions, it's the gilet, the yellow vests uh including [00:09:02] other civil society groups uh the uh the government [00:09:06] of macron he has lot on his plate now doesn't he? [00:09:10] yes indeed he he does have lot on his plate. and just this [00:09:13] morning the the government a [00:09:17] statement by the prime minister by by the government said that we [00:09:21] don't have time and we do not have money to [00:09:24] actually um um to actually do what you are asking [00:09:28] us, you mentioned the cohesion and the the the [00:09:32] unity of most the components of civil society, there's [00:09:35] a there's a major theme being repeated here in [00:09:39] france [00:09:41] um the... calling for a conversions [00:09:45] of forces, like convergence, the convergence [00:09:49] delete, a convergence of struggles, so of course the [00:09:52] different mosaic the social and economic formations here are [00:09:56] aware their differences, but they are also aware that [00:10:00] what unites them right now against the macron government [00:10:04] is more than whatum makes them [00:10:08] different, so all them are a [00:10:11] shared... socio economic [00:10:14] platform, all them one voice [00:10:17] to to achieve their demands [00:10:21] of raising the minimum wage, more investment [00:10:25] in the public sector, tax more [00:10:28] taxations from the rich and and [00:10:32] especially fighting this [00:10:35] degrading percious power that was severely hit [00:10:39] after after the war of aggression and the disruption the [00:10:43] supply chain through the state of hermus. all right, we're going [00:10:46] to leave it there, that's press tv, joining us from the french capital [00:10:50] Paris, moving [00:10:53] on us republican. [00:10:58] has filed eight articles of impeachment against war secretary. Massy says he [00:11:01] plans to force house vote on the impeachment proceedings in the coming [00:11:05] days. The move comes as Republicans seek to blame Hegseth for their [00:11:09] mid-term election losses. some party members say he played a key [00:11:13] role in convincing President Donald Trump to attack Iran without a clear exit [00:11:17] strategy or plans to deal with the political fallout. [00:11:21] Trump has repeatedly defended resibing him as the first. [00:11:25] of his administration to support the aggression, democrats for their part have [00:11:29] vowed to investigate his leadership at the pentagon, the [00:11:32] inquiry could cover his handling the war on Iran as well as his [00:11:36] removal of senior military officials including the chairman the [00:11:40] joint chiefsus [00:11:41] staff. [00:11:46] US media reports that vice president is seeking to [00:11:50] build new political alliance with [00:11:54] disaffected. orders of President Donald Trump [00:11:57] following Republicans humiliating defeat in the midterms. [00:12:01] According to sources, Vance wants to establish new right, a [00:12:05] broad coalition of Republicans United Around and America, first agenda, including [00:12:08] avoiding foreign conflicts, tightening border controls and making life [00:12:12] more affordable for Americans. On Wednesday, Vance said, the war on [00:12:16] Iran was [00:12:17] the real reason Republicans suffered losses in the November 3rd elections and what was [00:12:21] widely interpreted as an effort to distance himself from Trump. [00:12:25] he listed four steps to win back voters, ending the war in [00:12:29] Iran, focusing on the cost of living and inflation, putting [00:12:32] America first, and changing the country's relationship with [00:12:35] Israel. Republicans lost the control of both houses of congress [00:12:39] in Tuesday's elections, the results have been described by [00:12:43] some Republicans as rejection of Trump's [00:12:45] presidency. [00:12:51] Political commentator um Marcy Winenegrat. [00:12:55] says Trump is facing growing public opposition as democrats sweeping [00:12:59] election victories exposed declining support uh for his policies [00:13:03] and uh few calls within the party to cut [00:13:06] funding for the war on [00:13:07] Iran. [00:13:12] I think the latest poll show that maybe one out of three [00:13:16] support him. I would question that as a high number, [00:13:20] it's probably less than that. As we saw last night, landslide victory [00:13:24] a... blue tsunami, blue being democrats, not [00:13:27] just elevating democrats to leadership [00:13:31] in congress, the US house and senate, but across the states [00:13:35] and state legislatures, so I think the writing is on [00:13:39] the wall, the public in the United States wants this [00:13:43] war to end now, and now the democrats [00:13:47] are in in some conflict over [00:13:50] what to do next, because there are two [00:13:53] progressives, I'm speaking specifically of Congressman [00:13:57] Rokana in the house and what I'm reading on Twitter [00:14:01] on X is that Schumer who is the [00:14:04] you know minority leader right now in the Senate but will be [00:14:08] unless he's challenged he will be the leader the Senate come [00:14:12] January and that he wants to put the vote off until after [00:14:15] January whether that's logistical because he thinks then they'll [00:14:19] have better chance of cutting off funds or if it's or if there's [00:14:23] another reason I don't know. [00:14:27] International reports and UN briefings have long alleged [00:14:31] that Yemen's Thai city is under crippling humanitarian sech claiming that [00:14:35] the movement of goods and passengers into and out the city is [00:14:39] severely restricted, but what is the reality on the ground? Press [00:14:43] TV is reporting from Thais examining conditions at the city's western [00:14:47] entrance and investigating the situation at one of its main [00:14:50] access [00:14:51] points. [00:14:56] has been cut off UN reports have echoed Saudi claims that [00:15:00] sun is imposing a cripling season tires. Press TV visited [00:15:04] the city's western gate to examine the actual flow of goods. [00:15:07] Our footage shows trucks and other vehicles moving freely [00:15:11] through the corridor. I transport weed [00:15:15] into the city. There are no road problems or [00:15:18] obstructions and we always pass safely. [00:15:22] Official data shows that 754. Trucks and vehicles [00:15:26] enter ts a matter of 24 hours, carrying hundreds of [00:15:29] thousands of liters of fuel, diesel and cooking gas, [00:15:33] alongside vital provisions, 70% the city's [00:15:36] water well. have been turned into combat zones by [00:15:39] mercenaries, despite the fighting, yemen [00:15:42] continues, the road is fine, we go in [00:15:46] and out daily with no issues, the road is open from [00:15:50] 6 a.m. to 6 pm [00:15:52] and everything is fine, however local authorities [00:15:56] confirm the route remains open around the [00:15:59] clock, the road is open [00:16:03] 24 hours, but mercenaries target the root after 6 [00:16:06] p.m. don't close it, they shoot at passing civilians [00:16:10] forcing people to take shelter with us until morning, we block [00:16:14] nothing except weapons, while food, petrol and diesel are [00:16:18] all allowed to pass, during gold [00:16:21] echoed, [00:16:24] unsechoed, underscoring the real [00:16:27] threat to the route, saudi claims a blockade city, but [00:16:31] standing its gate today, the reality speaks for [00:16:35] itself, the road is fully open, and the traffic [00:16:39] is moving and the claims of an impost siege has [00:16:43] proven to be [00:16:44] hollow. [00:16:49] tires: thousands of injured palestinians in gaz are left without [00:16:53] basic assistive devices emit a collapsed healthcare system and the [00:16:57] ongoing Israeli blockade with wheelchair and ports restricted and [00:17:01] market prices soaring, even everyday movement has become a major [00:17:04] struggle for families forced to carry their loved. runs across [00:17:08] devastated areas press is compounded by the Israeli [00:17:11] blockade that prevents the entry of wheelchairs and [00:17:15] other assistive devices. nabil's story mirrors this [00:17:18] painful reality. having lost both legs in an air [00:17:22] strike, his life is now confined to arim tent, [00:17:25] relying entirely on his wife for his daily needs. nabil [00:17:29] aways a wheelchair ease the heavy burden she [00:17:33] carries every day. all need [00:17:37] right now. now as a prosthetic limb or a wheelchair to regain my mobility, [00:17:41] but with the border crossings closed, nothing is coming in, and whatever is [00:17:44] available in the market is far too expensive for me to afford. On top of [00:17:48] that, living in tense makes using a wheelchair extremely difficult because the roads [00:17:52] are destroyed and the area is completely unpaved. The wheelchair behind [00:17:56] me is old, worn out, and practically unusable. My wife is the one [00:18:00] who carries me, helps me to the bathroom and takes care of all my daily [00:18:03] needs. In another tragedy of displacement, [00:18:07] 10 year old Haidar lost his leg an air strike a [00:18:11] school where he and his family had sought shelter. he had [00:18:15] been playing in the school yard just moments before the misal [00:18:19] truck killing and injuring [00:18:21] thousands. i found my son hydar [00:18:25] injured alongside another young girl after the bombing that took place early [00:18:28] 2024 when four missiles targeted the school where we were [00:18:32] sheltering as displaced people. [00:18:36] following his injury, mother secured a medical [00:18:39] referral for him to travel abroad and receive a prostatic [00:18:43] lamp. the prosthetic has become m and [00:18:46] unuusable, leaving him back at square one and in [00:18:50] need of new assistive [00:18:51] equipment. i could hardly believe it when [00:18:55] hydar's medical evacuation referral came through. the ministry of health [00:18:59] called [00:18:59] me to arrange his travel to Egypt for treatment accompanied by his [00:19:03] grandmother. i have two other disabled children, they all [00:19:07] desp. need wheelchairs, which are much more practical for them than [00:19:10] prosthetic limbs, because they allow them to move around more [00:19:13] easily. [00:19:17] navigating dirt roads littered with rebel and waste, a child [00:19:21] depived of a play and an eldery person weakened by illness and [00:19:24] displacement, face the same harsh reality, unable to [00:19:28] move without assistance. both depend on loved ones [00:19:32] who carry them along this difficult path every [00:19:35] day. [00:19:40] well [00:19:40] this just in the Iranian army says that another oil tanker has caught [00:19:44] fire after hitting a sea mine and an unauthorized root in the straight of hormos [00:19:48] will keep you posted on the details of that story much more as we get it for you right here [00:19:52] on press tv. however, opposition parties in Italy have submitted a [00:19:56] proposed legislation aiming to prohibit imports of goods and services [00:20:00] produced in Israeli settelments. in the occupied west bank, the proposal [00:20:03] comes amit increasing calls within Europe to sever economic tie. [00:20:08] with Israel, max reports from [00:20:09] Rome. [00:20:13] Italy's opposition parties presented a bill to the lower house on [00:20:17] Tuesday that imposes legislative ban on importing goods [00:20:21] and services from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied [00:20:24] Palestinian territories, including Alkuds, speaking [00:20:28] before the Italian parliament, former Italian prime minister and five [00:20:32] star movement leader Giuseppe Conte also announced [00:20:36] that this party will. [00:20:50] We must decide, do we want an Italy rooted in our constitutional [00:20:54] principles that abides to international law or an Italy defined by [00:20:58] cowardice? I remind you that I imposed a permanent block on arms [00:21:02] exports to Saudi Arabia when it was committing war crimes in [00:21:05] Yemen. Italy imports [00:21:08] over 1 billion euros worth of goods and services from [00:21:12] Israel annually contributing to the illegal occupation the [00:21:16] Palestinian territories through displacement land. [00:21:25] Israeli settlers are all [00:21:26] criminals, [00:21:30] they sell us goods including agricultural products and manufactured goods produced [00:21:34] in Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. Some [00:21:38] EU countries, including Spain and Slovenia have already adopted [00:21:42] measures effectively banning trade with Israeli settler [00:21:45] settlements, while Belgium, Ireland and the Netherlands are [00:21:49] considering adopting similar legislation. Italy's [00:21:52] right-wing government of Prime Minister Georgia Meloni has been one of [00:21:56] Europe's stunchest allies the Israel since it came into [00:22:00] office in 2022. In April this year, Rome [00:22:04] announced it would suspend a two decade old Defense [00:22:08] Cooperation agreement with Tel Aviv, move that many [00:22:11] downplayed as merely symbolic. There [00:22:15] has been no suspension whatsoever. In fact, the Italian [00:22:19] government. continues to maintain cooperative and collaborative [00:22:23] relations, both military and economic with Israel, nothing [00:22:27] has stopped, and there is ongoing complicity with the Israeli [00:22:30] terrorist, genocidal and criminal government, all of this is [00:22:34] unacceptable, and for this very reason, Italy's government [00:22:38] must go. the bill to ban trade with Israeli [00:22:41] settlements was introduced in the Italian parliament as [00:22:44] emergency measure, but the majority of law makers [00:22:48] rejected the element of emergency. [00:23:32] when bombs stop falling, casualty figures are tallied, names are [00:23:36] added to lists, but numbers cannot measure the lives that [00:23:40] unravel after the explosions. wars count those killed by [00:23:44] missiles, they rarely count those who survived them and [00:23:48] may later die of grief. Yes, you heard that right, [00:23:51] great. 31 year old sayid became [00:23:55] one of those in the early hours of March 26, a US [00:23:59] is really strike reduced her family home after neighborhood [00:24:03] to rubble, her husband, local football coach Hussein [00:24:07] Maliki and their two young sons, age five and [00:24:11] three were killed, around them, nine homes were destroyed and [00:24:14] 24 people died from the US Israely attack. Alham [00:24:18] survived for seven hours. rescuers searched through [00:24:21] concrete and twisted steel before pulling her from beneath the [00:24:25] depre. the fallen sofa had shielded her head from the [00:24:29] collapsing building, but her injuries were severe. her greatest [00:24:33] wounds however were invisible. weeks later, a video of [00:24:37] elham standing on the ruins of her home spread across [00:24:40] Iran. in her hands was a hand-ritten note rescued from the [00:24:44] rubble one her young son had written before the [00:24:48] attack. as she read it, Her voice faltered, around [00:24:51] her lay the remains the life she had built. Her [00:24:55] father says that after losing her husband, her children, [00:24:59] and her home, she was never the same. She withdrew from [00:25:03] the world, spoke constantly of her family and [00:25:07] struggled to bear even ordinary sounds. After more than [00:25:11] two months of overwhelming grief, after losing her family a [00:25:14] US-Israely attack, she suffered fatal stroke and [00:25:18] died. Her stories sticks to a quieter taller war of [00:25:22] survivors who carry the destruction with them [00:25:25] long after the dust settles. It also reflects a wider [00:25:29] pattern of U.S. Israeli aggression across the region that has [00:25:33] left behind a deeper tool, not only a single moment of [00:25:37] impact, but in the lasting human consequences that [00:25:41] follow.

The Zionis not only [00:28:18] turned her home into rubble, but they murdered her husband, [00:28:22] her brothers, cousins and grandmother. Zahar [00:28:26] says life in Gaza is beyond difficult currently, [00:28:30] but despite that even if one child exists in [00:28:33] Gaza, they will [00:28:35] not allow it to be [00:28:36] occupied. [00:28:43] Palestine lives in your heart, and for those who are [00:28:47] truly people the land, it is everything, the [00:28:50] history and family, but what happens when a genocide [00:28:54] causes those shifting sounds to [00:28:56] move.
