[00:00:00] populated with European settlers, but Tunisians did not put
[00:00:04] up with the loss of freedom. Arab patriots had been fighting against French
[00:00:07] Colonialism for decades until Tunia gained
[00:00:11] independence in
[00:00:13] of 1956.
[00:00:23] In the headl international, 12 people are killed and over
[00:00:27] 300 wounded in attack on the main. international airport in
[00:00:31] Riad, according to Saudi
[00:00:32] of authorities, of that is
[00:00:33] as the Yemeni hoti movement
[00:00:35] of confirms to Art that it was behind the
[00:00:38] st. These attacks are Yemeny
[00:00:41] of attacks. We do not do this out of revenge or to take vengeance, but rather
[00:00:45] to force the Saudi leadership to accept a comprehensive and permanent peace by
[00:00:48] agreeing to end the war. I think it's time for Ukraine to get new
[00:00:52] president, but he could have settled it many times and he chose not to. Donald Trump
[00:00:56] lays it out clear to Keyev after Washington enters a deal with.
[00:01:00] to lift sanctions its diesel, the decision deemed weak by
[00:01:04] Vladimir Zelensky and one that prompted a Ukrainian delegation in
[00:01:08] of America to immediately pack its bags and return
[00:01:11] home and the sea of
[00:01:14] solidarity, pro Palestinian demonstrators making a stand in
[00:01:18] London on the first anniversary
[00:01:20] of the Hamas
[00:01:21] of Israel peace deal, which critics say is a ceasefire only in
[00:01:24] name. One activist at the rally says the UK turns a
[00:01:28] blind eye to the suffering. of
[00:01:30] gas, nobody
[00:01:33] in wants to
[00:01:33] of necessarily yet address the
[00:01:35] of issue that genocide, post genocide, we've got a situation where we're
[00:01:38] asking Palestinians now to coex exist with the people
[00:01:42] who basically are committed to wiping them
[00:01:45] out,
[00:01:53] welcome to the program here on RT international live from Moscow, your
[00:01:56] news, your headlines, unfiltered as always.
[00:02:01] It
[00:02:01] of is breaking news to kick off the program here on this hour as 12 people have been
[00:02:05] killed and
[00:02:06] of 309 wounded in the latest attack on the main international
[00:02:10] airport in Riad, that has been confirmed by the Saudi
[00:02:13] authorities, and houti spokes person has confirmed to us here at RT
[00:02:17] that the movement was behind
[00:02:18] of the strike it is by the way the second strike on that airport in as
[00:02:22] many days and some unverified footage circulating online
[00:02:26] of appears to show smoke rising near the airport, the site has been evacue.
[00:02:30] all flight suspended, and a senior huti spokesperson told
[00:02:34] RT that its actions are a direct response
[00:02:36] to the continued aggression against civilian infrastructure in
[00:02:40] Yemen by the
[00:02:41] Saudis.
[00:02:45] Yes, these attacks are Yemeni attacks after 12 years of Saudi
[00:02:49] aggression, destroying Yemen infrastructure whether airports, ports,
[00:02:52] even wedding and funeral halls as well as schools, hospitals and markets.
[00:02:56] It targeted everything in Yemen and targeted and destroyed. infrastructure
[00:03:00] and today it acknowledges that airports are civilian facilities that must not
[00:03:04] be targeted under international law, but we say that we
[00:03:08] of deal with Saudi Arabia in kind and our military operations deep inside the
[00:03:11] Saudi entity will continue and will not end except by destroying all
[00:03:15] Saudi infrastructure belonging to the government, whether military
[00:03:19] of facilities, airports, or even ports and any vital facilities belonging to the Saudi
[00:03:23] regime. We do not do this out of revenge or to take vengeance, but rather
[00:03:27] to force the Saudi leadership to accept a comprehensive and... peace by
[00:03:30] agreeing to end the war and end the siege by both sides. the Saudi
[00:03:34] of leadership can agree to achieve peace, and these are Yemen's
[00:03:37] demands. this comes a mid rapid escalation
[00:03:40] of the conflict in
[00:03:41] of Yemen. the hoothies right here, the hoothies releasing this footage. they say it shows
[00:03:45] dozens of fighters from the
[00:03:47] of Saudi back side surrendering to advancing hoothi
[00:03:50] forces. the video comes as Saudi Arabia and its regional
[00:03:54] partners plan to step up their military coordination on Monday. it
[00:03:58] is raising
[00:03:59] of fears the conflict could... span further or perhaps even draw more
[00:04:02] countries in. now this latest airport attack
[00:04:06] comes as Saudi led forces in Yemen say they've destroyed three rocket
[00:04:09] launch platforms used by the Hutis to quote threaten regional
[00:04:13] security. In fact, the group itself confirmed the Saudi Air Force carried
[00:04:17] out 59 air strikes and missile attacks in just 24 hours,
[00:04:20] causing multiple casualties. And professor of
[00:04:24] of political science at the Qatar University, Dr. Ali al-
[00:04:27] Khail believes that the main benefit. fitiary of such
[00:04:31] escalation in the region is actually
[00:04:34] in Israel, this is a part
[00:04:37] of the vicious circled war
[00:04:41] between thehis and Saudi Arabia on one
[00:04:45] hand and between the
[00:04:48] a of hoothies and what's called the legitimate
[00:04:50] of government at the temporary capital city in
[00:04:53] Eden at southern
[00:04:57] Yemen, well could be... well
[00:05:01] from the very first glance we can
[00:05:04] say probably it is the hoothies, but
[00:05:08] also we should not doubt
[00:05:11] others. sources, Israel probably takes
[00:05:15] advantage of this chaos and
[00:05:18] Israel has an interest in making Saudi
[00:05:22] Arabia bleeding and weakening Saudi
[00:05:26] Arabia in order to force Saudi Arabia
[00:05:30] into normalization with
[00:05:33] Israel, just day after
[00:05:37] blindsiding Ukraine by doing a diesel deal with Russia and
[00:05:41] Donald Trump's again up. the anti against Keyev, Trump
[00:05:44] suggesting, it's time for change at the
[00:05:47] top. should have never started, you wouldn't have lost
[00:05:50] 30% of your country already, you've lost 30%
[00:05:54] of your country and you've had over million people
[00:05:58] kill, but he could have settled it many times and he chose not
[00:06:01] to. that's a war that should have never started, and I think it's time for
[00:06:05] Ukraine to get new president. Donald Trump is no longer hiding his
[00:06:09] frustration with Vladimir Zelansky, putting the blame square. on Kiev
[00:06:13] for continuing this conflict non-stop, but the U.S. president says that
[00:06:17] Washington has on multiple occasions asked Zelensky personally
[00:06:21] to stop strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, on oil depots,
[00:06:25] because they have international consequences. We're seeing a global energy shortage that
[00:06:29] affect affects people worldwide, including the average American
[00:06:32] citizen. But you know, Trump ev interestingly went even
[00:06:36] further here, accusing Zelensky of having passed up multiple
[00:06:40] opportunities to try and settle this conflict. he even said that he's to
[00:06:44] blame for creating all these problems worldwide, but
[00:06:47] you know he's actually backing these words up with this concrete deal that we've seen,
[00:06:51] the diesel deal between Donald Trump and President Putin, which is set to
[00:06:55] bring Russian diesel into the US market, no an
[00:06:58] estimated $4.5 billion dollars, I mean that's a staggering
[00:07:02] number, Rory, and he says that Russia will essentially be
[00:07:06] able to supply uh 300,00 tons of diesel
[00:07:10] today, and also another 500... 100 thous tons next month
[00:07:14] and also there will be more shipments all throughout April because he deal also
[00:07:18] includes a temporary US sanctions waver to allow these Russian
[00:07:22] diesel exports and of course Trump has made absolutely no
[00:07:25] secret of his appreciation for Putin's willingness to
[00:07:28] actually send this diesel to the United States. Russia
[00:07:32] agreed to send us millions and
[00:07:36] millions of barrels of oil and it's diesel
[00:07:40] that's what we really need so.
[00:07:43] Thank you, you, and that public thanks to Putin has evidently
[00:07:46] infuriated Kiev. Now Zelensky boldly on social media
[00:07:50] called Trump's decision to ink this deal as some
[00:07:54] sort of weakness, betraying the deal as also this concession to
[00:07:58] Moscow. At this moment when we are talking about
[00:08:02] peace, America is allowing Russia to export diesel. It's
[00:08:05] millions, billions. In any case, all of this is directed for war against the
[00:08:09] people, against Ukraine, against all of us.
[00:08:11] I believe our... is just being used as a facade, and that's definitely not
[00:08:15] fair. this is definitely not very partner-like in my opinion. this is a
[00:08:19] weak solution, unfortunately, it's a weak decision by strong
[00:08:22] partners. it seems like Zelensky can't grasp
[00:08:26] why the United States has has made this deal with Russia and can't
[00:08:30] grasp the fact that there is a global energy shortage in this situation. but there's another
[00:08:34] problem that Ukraine is currently facing and this is the
[00:08:37] announcement after so its delegation actually
[00:08:41] came to Florida. recently to sit down with the American delegation, so
[00:08:45] Jared Kushna, this is Trump's son-in-law as well as Steve Witkoff,
[00:08:49] this is Trump's special envoy, but the talks apparently were supposed to
[00:08:53] initially last around two days, but the Ukrainian team reportedly cut
[00:08:56] its visit short because Zelensky says that Ukraine was apparently
[00:09:00] blindsided by this Putin Trump deal, but you'd think that right now
[00:09:04] is the exact time that Zelensky would be approaching Trump from so for some sort of
[00:09:08] deal, some sort of talks, but it's evident that he doesn't think so, clearly the
[00:09:12] key. leadership and its circle of friends and operators are very
[00:09:15] upset about this diesel deal, meantime, what's what's the
[00:09:19] outlook from Moscow, any reaction from the Kremlin to this deal?
[00:09:23] well, Moscow has benevolently welcomed this agreement, but is
[00:09:26] that really surprising, we've seen this message consistently from Moscow that they're
[00:09:30] open to talks, to friendly relations with Washington, and
[00:09:34] we've also seen these uh, statements in social media
[00:09:38] uh that uh business ties, economic ties have
[00:09:41] been um hot topics behind closed doors, but following
[00:09:45] Friday's call with between Putin and Trump, the Kremlin also
[00:09:49] made it clear that KV's own actions have further undermined the
[00:09:53] prospects for this renewed peace. Vladimir
[00:09:56] Putin, Vladimir Putin provided detailed account the measures we
[00:10:00] are taking in response to the terrorist attacks by the Kiev regime, which has
[00:10:04] opted for escalation and various forms of prolonging the conflict, through its
[00:10:08] attempts to disrupt our elections by launching a massive drone strike on
[00:10:11] Moscow, other. cities and polling stations on the main voting day,
[00:10:15] targeting specific individuals associated with organizing the
[00:10:18] elections. The kie of regime has essentially derailed the possibility of
[00:10:22] immediately resuming the negotiation process. "but we also know that the
[00:10:26] Kremman has also insisted that Russia is always prepared for a
[00:10:29] political and diplomatic settlement, but one that actually
[00:10:33] delivers what it describes as this long-lasting peace, the sustainable
[00:10:37] peace, not a freezing the contact line, not a sease fire that
[00:10:41] would just effectively allow Kief to rearm, I mean we've seen that
[00:10:45] happen previously during those Minsk agreements, but what it seeks
[00:10:48] is an actual uh underlying solution to the
[00:10:52] conflict. Zelensky's had few choice. words to say about it all, but
[00:10:56] it's uh, it's not the first time he's been angry at Donald
[00:10:59] Trump. well, absolutely wrong. mean, this is pattern that we've seen before.
[00:11:03] donald trump and Zelensky have certainly exchanged harsh words and what
[00:11:07] not, but just a day before this announcement of this diesel
[00:11:11] deal. zki was already demanding that Trump implement harsher
[00:11:15] sanctions, you know, pressure Russia, and also rejecting
[00:11:19] the uh suggestion that diplomacy had reached a dead end, and that was after a
[00:11:23] statement by Marco Rubio himself.
[00:11:55] That's on social media, but with fuel prices, American consumers and
[00:11:58] energy supplies now part the equation, this could prove to be
[00:12:02] way more than just another heated exchange between Zelensky and
[00:12:06] Trump, but Zelensky you may have pushed Trump into this position where the US
[00:12:10] president is actually focused more on prioritizing its own
[00:12:13] citizens over Ukraine, and while Trump
[00:12:16] essentially says Zelensky's time is up, it's no surprise, the
[00:12:20] Ukrainian foreign minister has come out to praise Zelensky saying he deserves the people
[00:12:24] support. well, after untold billions have been laundered through
[00:12:28] Ukraine over the years, we spoke with a lecturer in political science at Rutka's
[00:12:32] University who says, since Zelensky's term is long past due, it's
[00:12:36] become too costly for Washington to deal with
[00:12:39] him. We all know that Zelensky has
[00:12:43] effectively frozen elections over the past
[00:12:47] year, which means that he has long passed his
[00:12:49] mandate.
[00:12:55] It's not because of any expiration date within
[00:12:59] constitutional law, it's just that simply as far as Trump's concerned, Zelensky is
[00:13:02] no one that the
[00:13:06] United States can deal with, can cooperate with.
[00:13:10] Ukraine is page six news at this point as far as
[00:13:14] American politics are concerned, we're talking diesel prices in this country
[00:13:18] are somewhere over 5-6 average a gallon, which
[00:13:21] means that we are running out of our own resources.
[00:13:25] is the country, unfortunately, that gets thrown under the bus for
[00:13:29] whatever needs and interest that
[00:13:31] it has, and when it comes to this new diesel fuel uh fuel deal that Putin
[00:13:35] had uh secured with Trump, it shows us once again, Russia
[00:13:39] plays the long game, and they're able to just simply lock in,
[00:13:43] endure few short-term moments of discomfort, but they come out
[00:13:47] top winning. As far as Ukraine is concerned, they are the ones that
[00:13:51] are going to get isolated and forgotten about the most. In the
[00:13:55] meantime, Russia's defense ministry has confirmed strikes have been carried out on
[00:13:59] data centers in Kiyev said to be used by the Ukrainian military to collect
[00:14:02] process and store intelligence. This comes as reports suggest large
[00:14:06] parts the capital are currently without power. A local media saying
[00:14:10] ballistic missile struck the right bank the Dunepa river in
[00:14:13] Keyev. The city's mayor announced a public transport including the
[00:14:17] subway, trams and other forms have been suspended amid the
[00:14:20] wide-spread blackouts. Well, the head of
[00:14:24] Russia. nuclear energy agency says the speed in which the
[00:14:28] diesel deal was reached gives hope that those who have issued sanctions
[00:14:32] will perhaps realize their mistakes, he added that all dialogue going
[00:14:36] forward must take into account Russia's overall security and its goals
[00:14:40] in the conflict with
[00:14:41] Ukraine.
[00:14:45] First and foremost, this conversation demonstrates the tremendous
[00:14:47] effectiveness the dialogue between our presidents. Despite
[00:14:51] being relatively brief, decisions regarding the lifting of sanctions. contracting and
[00:14:55] so forth began to be implemented with lightning speed. secondly,
[00:14:59] a sense this gradually reveals the economic essence of sanctions. they
[00:15:03] have reached such a stage that they are beginning to cause systemic harm to major
[00:15:07] players such as the United States of America. we are all inclined
[00:15:11] towards the further development of a positive dialogue provided of course that the
[00:15:14] objectives the special military operation are achieved and the security and
[00:15:18] interests of our country are ensured and
[00:15:22] made falling out with a US president Donald Trump, Vladimir Zelensky
[00:15:26] is reaching out to various European nations from the UK to
[00:15:30] Norway to ensure their backing, that says he says Russia
[00:15:33] mustn't get any energy profits, an idea that.
[00:15:37] is apparently on board with, but with plenty of loop holes, so now the EU
[00:15:41] foreign policy chief is calling for new sanctions package on Russia,
[00:15:45] because I guess the first 30,000 sanctions work just so
[00:15:49] well, all while the Baltic states are demanding Ukraine
[00:15:53] continue attacking and destroying Russian oil
[00:15:55] refineries. Suspending
[00:15:59] sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenues to wage war.
[00:16:03] This is not the time ease pressure on Russia and Europe won't. On Monday.
[00:16:07] EU foreign ministers intend to approve the biggest set of sanctions listings targeting
[00:16:11] Russia's war machines since the start the war. This is major
[00:16:15] miscalculation because deals with dictators are road to hell.
[00:16:19] Money from gas and fuel is being used to kill innocent people. In
[00:16:22] Estonia and at the European Council, we should discuss next week whether we can
[00:16:26] provide more support to Ukraine quickly so that they can smash Russian oil
[00:16:29] refineries to pieces. Despite Brussels and Kiev singing
[00:16:33] from the same song sheet, it seems not everyone in Ukraine is in tune with.
[00:16:38] that one former MP says the biggest threat to the country is Zelensky
[00:16:42] himself. Today, true patriots the
[00:16:45] country must understand two points: first, Vladimir Zelensky
[00:16:49] will never agree to an end to the war, and his continued stay in
[00:16:53] power is guarantee that the war will continue. Second, the
[00:16:57] continuation the war will result in the total loss of statehood for Ukraine
[00:17:01] and a catastrophe for its population.
[00:17:04] It is Zelinsky himself whose adequacy and sanity are. subject to
[00:17:08] serious doubt, who is the main enemy of Ukraine and its people?
[00:17:12] too much is at stake. the people are waiting for justice and
[00:17:15] decisiveness. Ukraine cannot remain a hostage to the unhealthy
[00:17:19] ambitions and personal interests of a man who has imagined himself to be
[00:17:22] Napoleon. well American political scientist and publicist
[00:17:26] Amalek Dutakov believes that Kiev's attempts to scupper the diesel deal
[00:17:30] might trigger Ukraine's collapse, leaving Zelensky and Europe high and
[00:17:34] dry. Of
[00:17:37] course, this diesel deal between Trump and Russia has caused very
[00:17:41] serious friction and confusion among the ranks the European War party, as
[00:17:45] well as among Ukrainian lobbiists, and indeed, these people are currently
[00:17:49] disconcerted by the fact that Trump is concluding an agreement with Russia without
[00:17:53] taking their opinions into account, and in general, without reacting at
[00:17:57] all to their statements, criticism, hysteria, and everything else we
[00:18:01] are observing, especially from representatives the Kiev authorities.
[00:18:05] This is not bad for Russia, it shows that of... all the contradictions that
[00:18:08] existed and still exist within the Trump administration, both with the
[00:18:12] Europeans and with the Ukrainians, are not going anywhere. On the
[00:18:15] contrary, over time, they will likely escalate further. As for the
[00:18:19] Ukrainians, the situation is certainly difficult right now, especially with their
[00:18:23] opinions being disregarded. They are already attempting to work in opposition to the
[00:18:27] Americans, promising to strike Russian refineries regardless of what Trump
[00:18:30] thinks, and I do not rule out the possibility that they might run into a situation
[00:18:34] where the Americans, shall we say, completely cut off. exchange of
[00:18:38] intelligence, if that happens, the situation for the armed forces of
[00:18:41] Ukraine will, of course, worsen, as we can see representatives the
[00:18:45] European War party, the Euroocrats continue to insist stubbornly on the
[00:18:49] necessity of waging war against us and maintaining confrontation with
[00:18:52] Russia. They are not ready to retreat from their positions, even against the backdrop
[00:18:56] the serious energy problems we are currently observing in the eurozone and the European Union
[00:19:00] as a whole. In other words, they are stepping on the same rake once
[00:19:04] again.
[00:19:05] It is also worth noting that the coordination of this. large sanctions package is
[00:19:08] ahead, it will apparently be the most massive one yet, simply in terms the
[00:19:12] number of companies and individuals to be included. however, it will most likely
[00:19:16] be unable to exert serious impact on the situation. that is to say, it
[00:19:20] is an endless process, a game of cat and mouse that in reality yields
[00:19:24] no actual effect. i think Zelensky will now become increasingly active in
[00:19:28] criticizing Trump's actions. this is for a predictable reason. because trump
[00:19:32] has elections ahead. i believe the Ukrainian lobby is hoping that the democrats
[00:19:35] in the event their potential. will force Trump to resume support for
[00:19:39] Kiev, allowing them to work with the Democratic Party by bypassing the current
[00:19:43] administration, but at the same time we understand that no democrats are going to
[00:19:47] save Ukraine this winter. In this regard, Ukraine will, of course have to rely its
[00:19:51] own strength, and those strengths as well as Europe strengths are as we see at the moment
[00:19:55] becoming less and
[00:19:55] less. Four
[00:19:59] Palestinians are being killed and 15 wounded in an Israeli strike on
[00:20:03] Gaza City, confirmed by Palestinian media. It comes a year after a
[00:20:06] cease fire. effect, but the deadly attacks never stopped. i should warn you,
[00:20:10] there are disturbing images
[00:20:11] ahead.
[00:20:20] the Israeli military has yet to issue a comment, though paramedics carried the
[00:20:24] dead and wounded from a neighborhood in Gaza city as residence and family gathered
[00:20:28] around. local said the fear of further attacks has become part of a
[00:20:31] daily life with no guarantee that people who leave home will ever return
[00:20:35] safe. These
[00:20:39] warplanes mean that when someone leaves their home, they cannot be sure they will
[00:20:42] return. There is no safety and no loss to protect us, it's as if
[00:20:46] we are not human beings. is there's been
[00:20:50] no ceasefire up to this moment since the first cease fire.
[00:20:54] strikes continue every day, there are marters every day, with homes,
[00:20:58] buildings, people and vehicles being targeted. now this comes as a
[00:21:02] large crowds are formed in central london with people taking part in the national march for
[00:21:06] palestine. organized by the palestine solidarity campaign, the
[00:21:10] demonstration is calling for immediate end to military action in Gaza,
[00:21:14] a whole to UK arms export to Israel and
[00:21:17] sanctions. the demonstration marks through. years since the conflict
[00:21:21] began and the first anniversary the US broker cease fire between Israel and
[00:21:25] Hamas, which has been shattered countless times, most notably by
[00:21:29] Israel. A journalist and host the deep dive perspective podcast
[00:21:32] Sied Mosin Abbas was at the rally. He says growing public pressure
[00:21:36] is forcing the UK government to think
[00:21:39] differently. This is a pretty big demonstration
[00:21:43] again, yet again and I think it comes on the back of
[00:21:47] uh Edvan basically uh capitulated.
[00:21:50] "accepting that these demonstrators were right all along and saying
[00:21:54] that actually they got it wrong, the labour party got it wrong, and
[00:21:57] he's, I guess, made the first moves towards what might
[00:22:01] be a more palatable uh position from the people's point of
[00:22:05] view, I declaring settlers
[00:22:08] terrorists, and also declaring the fact that
[00:22:12] Israel is violating international law, so there are several bits of
[00:22:15] progress which have boied the crowd here today, and I think speeches
[00:22:19] are reflecting..." that kind of hopefulness and they're taking i guess a
[00:22:23] way some the credit saying actually these protests do work and
[00:22:27] rallying against uh the the the parties and their line which is
[00:22:31] usually differential towards Israeli policy and perhaps many would
[00:22:34] argue actually a British government which is Israeli captured so
[00:22:38] there's a lot of hope and lot of uh positivity in this
[00:22:42] demonstration right now the realistic demands are really that the uh
[00:22:46] arms to Israel should be stopped all together uh trade with israel
[00:22:50] should be boycotted and that the labour government should be
[00:22:53] make much more strident efforts to make Israel comply
[00:22:57] with this international law and to increase the amount
[00:23:01] of practical if you like censoring of
[00:23:05] Israel wherever they possibly can, there is this awkward question
[00:23:08] the two state solution, because that's what
[00:23:12] Ed Millivan was pushing towards and it's still what the official government line is,
[00:23:16] nobody wants to necessarily yet address the issue that Gen
[00:23:20] post genocide, we've got a situation where we're asking Palestinians
[00:23:24] now to come exist with the people who basically are committed
[00:23:27] to wiping them out.
[00:23:31] Iran's revolutionary guard says a super tanker carrying crude
[00:23:35] oil caught fire after hitting a naval mine while attempting to
[00:23:39] cross the straight of hormoos. That's a footage published by the
[00:23:42] IRGC showing a tanker in flames in that critical
[00:23:45] waterway, with no end in sight to the crisis, Persian gulf countries
[00:23:49] are scrap. rambling for alternative ways to get their oil to global markets,
[00:23:53] but finding path that is both cheap and safe has turned out to be an
[00:23:56] enormous challenge, as our correspondent now
[00:23:59] explains. the straight of hormus
[00:24:03] is a choke point and when it closes, the question is not
[00:24:06] just how to get the oil out, but how to redraw the map of
[00:24:10] global energy, and there are already attempts to find alternatives.
[00:24:14] Iraq is now looking west towards Syria and the
[00:24:17] Mediterranean and its first work around maybe thousands
[00:24:21] of trucks moving crew one load a time. I
[00:24:25] expect the export of Iraqi crew via Syria by trucks to start
[00:24:29] as soon as possible as the deal between both governments is almost
[00:24:32] done. So hopefully by mid October the first chain of trucks with
[00:24:36] crude will come to Syria. That would turn Syria into a
[00:24:40] kind of emergency bridge, but can it really be that?
[00:24:44] Now, around a thousand trucks a day are said to be carrying fuel oil from
[00:24:48] Iraq into Syria, old. ly reaching the Mediterranean coast,
[00:24:52] but the question is whether that same road network can absorb
[00:24:56] crude in much larger quantities. I think there will
[00:25:00] be at least the same number of trucks with crude as with fuel oil, or even
[00:25:04] more than 1,00 trucks per day, because the quantity of Iraqi crude
[00:25:08] is much more than a fuel oil. If one truck can carry roughly
[00:25:12] around 220 barrels, then a thousand trucks would move
[00:25:15] around 220,000 barrels a day.
[00:25:20] However, that is still small, considering Iraq's
[00:25:23] break, crisis export reached around 3.5 million barrels a
[00:25:26] day by sea. For that, you need roughly
[00:25:30] 16,00 tanker trucks every
[00:25:33] 24 hours, so the truck route is useful, but it
[00:25:37] is not replacement for Hormus, it's more of a
[00:25:41] pressure volve, and there's another problem, cost, a
[00:25:44] single sea tanker can move hundreds of thousands of barrels in
[00:25:48] one journey, by Comparison, transporting oil by
[00:25:51] road means moving much smaller quantities a
[00:25:55] time, requiring far more individual trips, and that's
[00:25:59] why the real strategic prize is a...
[00:26:02] pipeline because it can move millions of barrels
[00:26:05] continuously without the hurdles the truck route deals
[00:26:09] with, and two years, the straight of hermooth will be like
[00:26:13] a worthless piece of water, the
[00:26:17] the the oil will be going on pipelines across land.
[00:26:21] what we are going to see over the next two years, the straight is going to become
[00:26:25] irrelevant, it is going to become just another body
[00:26:28] of water, and i would say that more than 50 or...
[00:26:32] 70% the energy that moves through the straight
[00:26:36] now is going to go through, but again, there's a catch: pipelines have
[00:26:40] to be designed, financed, negotiated, built,
[00:26:44] and of course protected. for instance, Saudi Arabia's east-west
[00:26:48] pipeline can carry millions of barrels a day, but
[00:26:51] attacks have shown how vulnerable overland infrastructure can be, and
[00:26:55] there is a price tag, take the proposed Iraq Syria crude pipeline. The
[00:26:59] project could take around four years and cost. least
[00:27:03] $15 billion dollars with initial target capacity of
[00:27:06] only around 2 million barrels per day, but the challenge
[00:27:10] isn't just about the money, it's the geography as well. A
[00:27:14] pipeline crossing several countries means several governments
[00:27:17] have seat at the table with transit agreements, fees,
[00:27:21] security guarantees and potentially political leverage, so if
[00:27:25] Iraq wants to reach the Mediterranean through Syria, it needs
[00:27:29] Syria on board, and roots farther west can't mean even
[00:27:33] more countries and even more negotiations, which brings us to
[00:27:37] another idea. Israel has openly proposed redirecting energy
[00:27:40] infrastructure westward away from the Gulf and toward the Red Sea and
[00:27:44] the Mediterranean. just have oil pipelines, gas
[00:27:48] pipelines going west through the Arabian
[00:27:52] peninsula, right up to Israel, right up to our Mediterranean ports, and you've
[00:27:56] just done away with the choke points for forever. people will
[00:28:00] move the energy pipe. lines out the
[00:28:03] straits to the red sea, from there to Israel in the
[00:28:07] Mediterranean. I am already telling you that you will begin to see
[00:28:11] energy pipelines moving not through the Gulf,
[00:28:14] but westward, and we have an opportunity here to be on that route to the
[00:28:17] Mediterranean. The idea sounds fairly simple there:
[00:28:21] move energy west across the Arabian peninsula rather than through the
[00:28:25] Gulf, but the map tells a different story: Iraq
[00:28:29] and Saudi Arabia don't border Israel, so... any route
[00:28:33] west would require agreements with range of regional
[00:28:36] actors, meaning borders, negotiations, and
[00:28:39] potential points of failure, and that is the problem with
[00:28:43] almost every alternative to hormose, so moving oil
[00:28:47] away from the straight doesn't necessarily remove the geopolitical
[00:28:51] risk, the challenge facing at post Hormus energy map
[00:28:55] stays, finding route that is large,
[00:28:58] cheap and secure enough to survive.
[00:29:03] Right, before we go here on the program, a quick recap of our breaking news for you here on
[00:29:07] RT, because Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil aviation
[00:29:11] said the October the 10th attack on the King Khalid International Airport
[00:29:15] in Riyad killed 12 people and wounded 309
[00:29:19] others, some critically, and it is the Hutis and the Huthies Ansar Allah
[00:29:23] movement that carried out the attack as the group confirmed to us a little bit
[00:29:27] earlier. Yeah,
[00:29:30] the updates and developments of that story. continue in real time online at RT.com along with
[00:29:34] the rest of our top stories as well. for the meantime from me Rory, suche and the
[00:29:38] entire news team here, thanks for joining us and have a good day and a good
[00:29:42] evening wherever you may be right
[00:29:44] now.
[00:29:59] take a fresh look around at life, telescopic, isn't
[00:30:03] it? a shattered reality distorted by
[00:30:07] power, tired vision with no real
[00:30:10] opinions, pictures designed to
[00:30:14] simplify or confuse, who really wants a
[00:30:18] better world and is it just for the chosen
[00:30:21] few? fractured images presented as
