[00:00:25] in protests as trade unions mobilized workers against rising living
[00:00:28] costs and government
[00:00:30] of austerity

[00:00:42] of Hello and welcome everybody. It's 5:30 p.m. here in
[00:00:46] Iranian capital. Tehran, you're watching Press TV's World News. Our
[00:00:49] top stories senior commander
[00:00:51] of the Islamic Revolution Guards Course says Iran's armed forces are fully prepared
[00:00:55] to deliver decisive response to any hostile
[00:00:58] action. The command. the IRGC's ground
[00:01:01] forces brigadier general Muhammad Katomy made the remarks during visit to Persian
[00:01:05] Gulf islands and military units stationed there. He said Iran
[00:01:09] stands firm against its adversaries and will not back down.
[00:01:13] The senior IRGC commander also expressed confidence at Iran and the
[00:01:17] resistance front will prevail. His remarks commit renewed US
[00:01:20] threats of
[00:01:22] of of aggression against Iran. Iranian officials have
[00:01:24] of warned that any attack would trigger immediate and forceful response
[00:01:28] with no geographical limits.
[00:01:34] of a Another of oil tanker has caught
[00:01:38] fire in the straight of hormos
[00:01:39] a after attempting to cross unauthorized roots and striking sea
[00:01:43] mines. According to a statement by Iran's army, the violating oil
[00:01:47] tanker had switched off all navigation and positioning systems while
[00:01:51] attempting to cross the unsafe route east
[00:01:53] of the straight of hormos. The statement comes just hours after Iran's Islamic
[00:01:57] Revolution guards core announced
[00:01:59] a the two oil t caught fire south
[00:02:01] of the straight of hormos after attempting to use unauthorized roots, the
[00:02:05] IRGC accused United States of pressuring ships to use
[00:02:09] unauthorized mine-laiden routes in the strategic
[00:02:12] waterway. It said this policy is imposing huge
[00:02:15] insurance cost. said that US president Donald
[00:02:19] Trump has suffered setbacks both at home and on the
[00:02:22] a battlefield uh in the war on Iran as Tehran continues to
[00:02:26] maintain control over the straight of
[00:02:28] of hormos.
[00:02:32] This recent report basically shows that
[00:02:36] how the United States and specifically the US president Donald
[00:02:39] Trump has been defeated and
[00:02:43] humiliated as we had in the news uh both
[00:02:46] in the politics in the midterm elections
[00:02:51] a in uh home and of course it has
[00:02:55] faced another defeat and it is still facing
[00:02:58] very strong blow. from Iran's
[00:03:01] in armed forces uh on the battlefield, the
[00:03:04] reality uh Zainab is that you know
[00:03:08] what US uh president and the U.S. government is
[00:03:11] basically doing try to challenge uh Iran's control over
[00:03:15] the straight of homose basically warsens uh the
[00:03:19] situation for the American people and
[00:03:23] the more they try to challenge Iran's authority uh
[00:03:27] the
[00:03:28] of uh wars uh the situation. gets for everyone, not not only
[00:03:32] of course in the United States, but also in other
[00:03:36] parts
[00:03:36] of the
[00:03:36] world.
[00:03:42] The United States has renewed its threats to launch new aggression against Iran,
[00:03:46] prompting Tehran to warn of a stronger response with no
[00:03:49] geographical limits if attacks its territory resume. Press TV
[00:03:53] corresponent spoke with several Iraki journalists to hear their views on
[00:03:57] Washington's threats, particularly following.
[00:04:02] of
[00:04:09] a
[00:04:13] Following this major setback for President Donald Trump and his Republican
[00:04:17] Party, I think he may
[00:04:19] a resort to
[00:04:19] a reckless move by carrying out a limited nuclear strike against
[00:04:23] Iran.
[00:04:24] of Such move would put all American interests across the region at risk.
[00:04:28] The Islamic Republic. certainly prepared on security, logistical
[00:04:32] and military fronts. Statements by Iranian officials
[00:04:35] of and military commanders have made it clear that any attack would be met with a
[00:04:39] forceful
[00:04:40] of response. Iran has a list of targets and under the directives of
[00:04:44] its leadership, numerous American interests and facilities across the
[00:04:48] region are identified as potential targets. If the United States makes the
[00:04:52] reckless decision to launch nuclear strike, even a limited
[00:04:55] one, the consequences would be
[00:04:58] of disastrous.
[00:05:02] "I believe
[00:05:02] a renewed US attack on Iran would be reckless and carry enormous risks
[00:05:06] affecting regions outside West Asia. It could open the door to the use of
[00:05:10] weapons of mass destruction elsewhere. in the world and trigger a
[00:05:14] wider and more dangerous global arms race, this could push the world towards
[00:05:18] an unprecedented catastrophe. Trump's electoral setback could be
[00:05:21] one the factors behind a decision to take such a step. I believe there is a
[00:05:25] possibility that Trump could pursue this course of action. He has demonstrated a
[00:05:29] highly confrontational approach and pressure from Israeli prime minister
[00:05:33] Benjamin Netanyahu could also play a role
[00:05:36] in influencing such
[00:05:37] decision.
[00:05:42] would be among the first to bear the consequences of another attack on
[00:05:45] Iran, with the Persian Gulf states particularly vulnerable to its
[00:05:49] fallout. For now, the scenario appears to revolve around threats
[00:05:53] and the use of military pressure. However, I find it difficult to
[00:05:57] imagine that Trump would go as far as authorizing nuclear strike, as
[00:06:01] such decision could have far reaching consequences for the United States and its
[00:06:05] position in the
[00:06:05] world.
[00:06:09] Iran's parliament speaker is seized on remarks. US vice president J.D.
[00:06:13] Vance who linked the war on Iran to Republican losses in the recent midterm
[00:06:17] elections. Muhammad questioned why Vance does not
[00:06:20] deliver the same message directly to President Donald Trump a
[00:06:24] social media post Khaliboff described the United States as losing gamble who
[00:06:28] refuses to leave the table despite mounting losses. He warned
[00:06:31] that as Trump prepares for new phase the war, Washington
[00:06:35] risks putting Israely interests ahead of American priorities despite
[00:06:39] growing economic pressures at home. Iran's parliament. speaker also referred
[00:06:43] to high energy prices as result the closure the
[00:06:47] hormo straight. he mentioned a tweet by US vice president
[00:06:51] J.D.
[00:06:51] vans in which he listed four steps to win back voters, ending the
[00:06:55] war in Iran, focusing on the cost of living and inflation, putting America
[00:06:59] first and changing the country's relationship with Israel. Republicans
[00:07:03] lost the control of both houses of congress in Tuesday's
[00:07:06] elections.
[00:07:12] political commentator Marcy Winnagrad says Trump is facing
[00:07:16] growing public opposition as democrats sweeping election victories
[00:07:20] expose declining support for his policies and
[00:07:24] fuel calls within the party to cut funding for the war on
[00:07:27] Iran.
[00:07:31] I think the latest poll show that maybe one out of three
[00:07:35] support him. I would question that as a high number.
[00:07:39] It's probably less than that. As we saw last night. landslide
[00:07:43] victory, a blue tsunami, blue being democrats, not
[00:07:47] just elevating democrats to leadership
[00:07:51] in congress, the US house and senate, but across the states
[00:07:55] and state legislatures, so I think the writing is
[00:07:59] on the wall, the public in the United States wants this
[00:08:02] war to end now, and now the
[00:08:06] Democrats are in in some conflict
[00:08:09] over what to do next, because... "there are two
[00:08:13] progressives,
[00:08:14] you know, I'm speaking specifically of Congressman Rokana in the
[00:08:17] house, I'm speaking of senator Van Hollan from Maryland, in the
[00:08:21] Senate, who want vote December 11th
[00:08:25] to cut off funding for this war on Iran, and
[00:08:29] what I'm reading on Twitter, on X is that
[00:08:32] Schumer, who is the, minority leader right now
[00:08:36] in the Senate, but will be, unless he's challenged, he will be the
[00:08:40] leader the Senate come January." and that he wants to put the
[00:08:44] vote off until after January, whether that's
[00:08:47] logistical because he thinks then they'll have better chance of cutting off
[00:08:51] funds, or if it's or if there's another reason, I don't
[00:08:54] know.
[00:08:58] US Republican Congressman Thomas Massi has filed eight
[00:09:02] articles of impeachment against war secretary Pete Hegseth.
[00:09:06] Massy says he plans to force house vote on the impeachment proceedings
[00:09:10] in the coming days. The move comes as... can seek to blame Hagseth for their
[00:09:14] mid-term election losses. Some party members say he played a key
[00:09:18] role in convincing President Donald Trump to attack Iran without
[00:09:21] clear exit strategy, or plans to deal with a political fallout.
[00:09:25] Trump has repeatedly defended Hegseth rejecting calls to replace him on
[00:09:29] Wednesday and saying the war secretary is doing a good job. Trump has also
[00:09:33] acknowledged Hegseth his role in backing the war, describing him as the
[00:09:37] first member of his administration to support the aggression. Democrats for
[00:09:41] their part have. to investigate has his leadership at the
[00:09:45] Pentagon, the inquiry could cover his handling the war on Iran as
[00:09:49] well as his removal of senior military officials, including the chairman
[00:09:52] the joint chiefs of
[00:09:54] staff.
[00:10:02] Israely occupation forces have continued their air strikes
[00:10:06] and artillery fire across southern Lebanon, launching new
[00:10:10] raids on several towns moving. forces
[00:10:14] inside the so-called yellow zone a control and
[00:10:17] carrying out violent
[00:10:19] explosion
[00:10:22] pr is joining now from South Lebanon
[00:10:26] with more updates, hussin, great to have you with us, what do you have to
[00:10:30] share with us right now? thank you for having me, Bardia, yes,
[00:10:34] so it is November 5th today, only few days after the end
[00:10:38] the US mid-term elections, a time that was
[00:10:41] expected to be the beginning of new escalation against the
[00:10:45] Islamic Republic of Iran and by Association South
[00:10:49] Lebanon, that has not come to pass, though
[00:10:53] aggression a smaller scale against... South Lebanon is still
[00:10:57] a usual daily occurrence. Air strikes since
[00:11:00] yesterday have hit the villages of Talosa, Hadda, Aita al
[00:11:04] Jabal, in the eastern district the Lebanese
[00:11:07] South. A drone strike was reported yesterday to have killed a medic
[00:11:11] by the name of Nasr Yunus and the injury of his relative, a photo
[00:11:15] journalist, Kamal Yunis. The Israeli military had released the
[00:11:19] statement just after the strike, claiming that the duo
[00:11:23] posed a military threat. as possible
[00:11:26] recon operatives for the resistance for the group, the resistance group
[00:11:30] Heizbullah. In addition, mortar shellings were reported throughout the
[00:11:34] main valleys, the main valleys across the south, the valleys of
[00:11:37] Sluki, plus the towns of Zautar, Maifadun,
[00:11:41] Haris, Barashit, bet Yahun, in the central border
[00:11:44] shellings or other other ways of invasion, whether
[00:11:48] through destruction of homes, through control
[00:11:52] demolitions, these villages have been, a daily
[00:11:55] regular target and still are as as we can see to the
[00:11:59] day. as for possible escalations planned by the
[00:12:03] Israeli military, report by Marif, the Hebrew
[00:12:06] newspaper claimed that the army is planning to occupy the
[00:12:10] cities of tier and sida, massively bomb Beirot and
[00:12:14] impose maritime blockades on on the Beirot and
[00:12:18] Triple E ports. In the case, Hisbullah decides to
[00:12:21] renew its fighting, for example in the case of renewed war. on
[00:12:25] Iran, this is contradicted by other reports that state an
[00:12:29] expectation of pressure mounting on the Israeli regime by Trump's
[00:12:33] administration to completely retreat from the south,
[00:12:36] citing certain meetings in the Israelies managed to rearm itself and
[00:12:40] refill its coffers. This is of course supported by the fact that
[00:12:44] the hezbullah has been planning
[00:12:47] reimbursements to the most impoverished
[00:12:51] displaced citizens of South Lebanon that
[00:12:54] have don't do not have have reliable shelter or lodgings uh,
[00:12:58] that is all I have uh for updates from South Lebanon as of
[00:13:01] November 5th, thank you so much for having me, fardia, back to
[00:13:05] you. All right, we're going to leave it there, Press TVs Hussain joining us from
[00:13:09] South Lebanon. Thank you, Hussain. Thank you very
[00:13:12] much. A second wave of false bomb threats has
[00:13:15] disrupted flights across Europe and what
[00:13:17] it's described as part of a coordinated hybrid campaign
[00:13:21] unfolding mid escalating US threats against Iran. No.
[00:13:25] explosives were found any case after
[00:13:28] threats hit flights from Copenhagen, Dublin, Helsinki,
[00:13:32] Madrid, Milan and Warsaw. An Irish jet bound for Rome
[00:13:36] was diverted to a French base in Normandy,
[00:13:39] shadowed by a Raffale fighter, an
[00:13:43] Italian Euro fighter escorted another Roame bound
[00:13:46] aircraft. The scare comes as European countries remain deeply
[00:13:49] entangled in the US campaign against Iran, Britain,
[00:13:53] Germany, Italy, Greece, and have let American bombers and
[00:13:56] drones operate from their soil with NATO's chief sighting around
[00:14:00] 500 military flights from European
[00:14:03] bases.
[00:14:07] France faces nationwide wave of strikes and
[00:14:10] protests as trade unions mobilized workers against rising living costs and
[00:14:14] government austerity measures. The demonstrations brought together workers, high
[00:14:18] school and university students who have been protesting
[00:14:21] deteriorating school conditions, overcrowded class. rooms
[00:14:25] and inadequate facilities, ahead the strikes, France's four main rail
[00:14:29] unions condemn the government's proposed budget cuts warning, they
[00:14:32] would uh deepen poverty, weaken social security and freeze public
[00:14:36] sector salaries. the latest mobilization comes as president Emmanuel
[00:14:40] Macron's government struggles to push an austerity budget through
[00:14:44] divided parliament with the public debt approaching
[00:14:48] 120% the country's economic
[00:14:50] output.
[00:15:37] no free and public student catering for everyone, but there are criteria,
[00:15:41] which in my opinion should not happen. whoever is studying
[00:15:45] a university should have free
[00:15:47] meals.
[00:15:51] gathered outside Athens University, students said they cannot afford
[00:15:55] rent, school supplies, or even groceries. student
[00:15:58] unions are calling for more government funding for education. moreover, high
[00:16:02] school teachers joined the protest, demanding higher salaries
[00:16:06] and safe school. buildings, the government says it
[00:16:09] recognizes housing cost pressures and that new student
[00:16:13] residences are underway. similar protests have
[00:16:17] erupted across Europe due to rising living costs and poor public
[00:16:21] services. pariguine
[00:16:25] police have clashed with demonstrators calling for the resignation of president
[00:16:28] Santiago penia admit growing anger over the collapse of
[00:16:32] ueno
[00:16:33] bank.
[00:16:46] We demand an impeachment trial for the president and vice
[00:16:49] president. A proper trial must be held for the authorities
[00:16:53] responsible, those in the banking sector, the central bank
[00:16:57] and other officials. We demand the confiscation their
[00:17:00] assets, the return the workers money and an end to them
[00:17:04] touching our funds.
[00:17:10] The protests erupted after uh the bank abruptly shut down,
[00:17:14] leaving millions of customers unable to access their savings. A day
[00:17:18] earlier, Paraguay Central bank launched dissolution proceedings
[00:17:21] against the lender, which reportedly has close ties to
[00:17:25] President Penya. The banking crisis has raised concerns about the fate of hundreds
[00:17:29] of millions of dollars in deposits. Weneno Bank served more than
[00:17:33] 3 million clients and as of September counted roughly
[00:17:36] two-thirds. of Paraguay's adult population among its customers. The bank
[00:17:40] also managed an estimated $850 million dollars in public funds,
[00:17:44] including around 380 million
[00:17:46] dollars invested by the country's state run pension and healthcare
[00:17:49] fund.
[00:17:54] International reports and UN briefings have long
[00:17:57] alleged that Yemen's tie city is under crippling humanitarian
[00:18:01] sich claiming that the movement of goods and passengers
[00:18:04] into and out the city is severely. restricted, but
[00:18:08] what is the reality on the ground? press tv is reporting from examining
[00:18:12] conditions at the city's western entrance and
[00:18:15] investigating the situation at one of its main access
[00:18:18] points
[00:18:23] has been cut off. UN reports have echoed Saudi claims that
[00:18:27] some is imposing crabling season tires. Press TV
[00:18:30] visited the city's western gate to examine the actual flow of
[00:18:34] goods. Our footage shows trucks and other.
[00:20:07] Thousands of injured Palestinians in Gaza are left without basic
[00:20:11] assist of devices emit a collapsed healthcare system and the ongoing
[00:20:14] Israeli blockade with wheelchair imports restricted and market prices sooring
[00:20:18] um even everyday movement has become a
[00:20:22] major struggle for families forced to carry their loved ones across
[00:20:26] devastated areas. Press TV's Mata
[00:20:28] reports.
[00:20:34] The suffering of thousands of injured and sick Palestinians in piaza is
[00:20:38] compounded by the Israeli blocade that prevents the
[00:20:41] entry of wheelchairs and other assistive devices.
[00:20:45] naville's story mirrors this painful reality, having lost
[00:20:49] both legs. an air strike, his life is now confined to
[00:20:53] remote tent, relying entirely on his wife for his daily
[00:20:57] needs. Nabil awaits a wheelchair ease the heavy
[00:21:00] burden she carries every
[00:21:02] day. All I need right now is a
[00:21:06] prosthetic limb or a wheelchair to regain my mobility, but with the border
[00:21:10] crossings closed, nothing is coming in, and whatever is available in the market
[00:21:13] is far too expensive for me to afford. On top of that, living
[00:21:17] intense makes using a wheelchair extremely difficult. because the roads are
[00:21:21] destroyed and the area is completely unpaved. the wheelchair behind me
[00:21:24] is old, worn out and practically unusable. my wife is the one who
[00:21:28] carries me, helps me to the bathroom and takes care of all my daily
[00:21:31] needs. in another tragedy of displacement,
[00:21:35] 10 year old Haidar lost his leg an air strike
[00:21:39] a school where he and his family had sought shelter.
[00:21:43] he had been blaying in the schoolyard, just moments before the
[00:21:47] misal truck, killing and injuring thozans.
[00:21:51] I found my son Haidar injured alongside another young girl after the bombing
[00:21:55] that took place early 2024. when four missiles targeted the
[00:21:59] school where we were sheltering as displaced
[00:22:01] people. Following his injury,
[00:22:05] Header's mother secured a medical referral for him to travel
[00:22:09] abroad and receive a prosthetic limb. The prosthetic has
[00:22:12] become believe it when Hidar's medical evacuation referral came through. The
[00:22:16] ministry of health called me to arrange his travel to Egypt for.
[00:22:21] other disabled are
[00:22:22] children, much more practical for they all desperately need wheelchairs,
[00:22:28] I two which have them than prosthetic limbs, because
[00:22:30] they allow them to move around more
[00:22:32] easily.
[00:22:37] littered Navigating
[00:22:37] with dirt
[00:22:37] roads rebel and waste, a child deprived of a play and an eldery person
[00:22:41] weakened by illness and displacement face the same harsh
[00:22:45] reality, unable to move without assistance, both
[00:22:49] depend on.
[00:23:00] Israel continues its aggression against Gaza despite the ceasefire killing
[00:23:04] three Palestinians including a child in b refugee camp and
[00:23:07] injuring several others. A man has also been killed in
[00:23:11] Israeli strikes in Elzwa in Central
[00:23:14] Gaza.
[00:23:18] We live under unjust. justified blockade and oppression. What
[00:23:22] did the Palestinian people do to the world to deserve this? This
[00:23:26] young man was brutally killed for no reason. He
[00:23:30] was 25 years old and he was the only provider for
[00:23:34] 10 of his siblings and relatives. They say
[00:23:37] it is a ceasefire, but during which we lost
[00:23:40] 1,500 lives. We call
[00:23:44] upon every free people on globe to stand up
[00:23:48] for Palestine.
[00:23:52] We heard the strike, but we're shocked to learn that the marder was Abid
[00:23:56] a civilian who worked tirelessly to provide for his
[00:24:00] family, especially after losing his parents. He was targeted
[00:24:04] and killed by two Israeli missiles. The mediators and the
[00:24:08] world continue to witness this bloodshed and do nothing. How many
[00:24:12] more lives must be lost before our killing stops.
[00:24:15] Enough with this
[00:24:16] bloodshed.
[00:24:21] And that's a wrap for now, but stick around, we've got plenty more to come here on Press TV. Bye
[00:24:25] everybody.
[00:24:45] Welcome to the French way of shaping the future.
[00:25:23] with highly trained personnel, advanced equipment and a
[00:25:26] constant presence by their
[00:25:28] side,
[00:25:44] so the impact of our care stays with them for the rest their
[00:25:48] lives.
[00:26:02] favoriser le progrès social, à pratiquer la tolérance et à vivre en paix les
[00:26:06] uns avec les
[00:26:07] autres.
[00:26:10] go, we'll be right behind
[00:26:12] them.
[00:26:27] a saga of resilience against overwhelming odds,
[00:26:31] delve into the grip. struggle the Yemeni forces as they
[00:26:35] confront the largest naval coalition in
[00:26:37] history.
[00:27:17] What we are witnessing in southern Lebanon is not a series of
[00:27:21] isolated military violation, it is a calculated campaign of
[00:27:25] intimidation, their toil encroachment and system pressure
[00:27:29] designed to make Lebanese life increasingly unbearable. and to
[00:27:33] consolidate an Israeli occupation that Beirot seems
[00:27:36] increasingly incapable of confronting. Over the past few
[00:27:40] days, Israeli entity tanks have intensified across several
[00:27:43] districts. Air trikes have hit
[00:27:45] Knitnit, and areas
[00:27:48] between artillery
[00:27:51] pounding, Kinin, sirbin, betleef, maifadun,
[00:27:55] talusa and several other locations. In mefadun
[00:27:59] alone, seven explosive drones targeted residential. Israeli
[00:28:03] occupation forces also carried out demonitions and
[00:28:06] extensive machine gun fire, but perhaps more
[00:28:10] alarming is what happened in iblis saqi near khiam.
[00:28:14] Israeli entity troops advanced from khiam towards two residential
[00:28:18] properties ordered those present not to leave and
[00:28:21] announced plans to search the homes using drones. they
[00:28:25] even demanded that the municipality remove internet connectivity from the
[00:28:29] neighborhood. this is not simply military.
[00:28:32] intimidation, it is attempt to impose Israeli
[00:28:36] authority inside internationally recognized Lebanese
[00:28:39] territory, and we must understand the wider geography of
[00:28:43] this aggression. You see, ham is strategically important
[00:28:47] because it overlooks routes connecting southern Lebanon to the Biqa
[00:28:51] valley. Military assessments have previously warned that an
[00:28:54] Israeli entity expansion could extend towards the western beqa.
