[00:00:00] now [00:00:00] of um incumbent upon him to change that uh by [00:00:04] maximizing American's [00:00:05] dominance. [00:00:14] of [00:00:20] Donald Trump announces there's an energy cease fire between Moscow and [00:00:24] Kiev just today after saying Ukraine needs a new leader. While [00:00:28] Russia has yet to comment Vladimir. is caught by surprise, saying Kief will [00:00:32] agree if Moscow does the [00:00:33] same. Saudi defenses [00:00:37] intercept another cruise missile near Riyad's main airport, that's [00:00:41] after the fies warn against anyone using Saudi airspace following their [00:00:45] devastating strike on the airport which left 12 people dead and more [00:00:49] than 300 wounded. [00:00:51] of The Fukis confirmed to RT they were behind the attack. [00:00:55] These attacks are Yemeny attacks. We do not do this out of revenge or to take [00:00:58] vengeance [00:00:59] but rather. forced the Saudi leadership to accept a comprehensive and permanent [00:01:03] peace by agreeing to end the [00:01:04] war. [00:01:12] New Delhi is hit by wave of protest for second day [00:01:16] in a row over alleged electoral [00:01:18] of fraud, [00:01:18] a claim that the Indian government [00:01:20] denies. [00:01:25] of of [00:01:30] And it's [00:01:30] of time for the news on RT international. My name is Igor Piskanov. Welcome to the [00:01:34] program. Barely an hour seems to pass without Donald Trump [00:01:38] making a new announcement on Russia and Ukraine from diesel deals with [00:01:42] Moscow to calling for new leader in Kieve. The US president is now [00:01:46] claiming the waring nations have both agreed immediate halt [00:01:49] of to attacks on each other's energy [00:01:51] infrastructure. Effective [00:01:55] immediately, there is an energy sacefire in the war between Russia and [00:01:59] of Ukraine. both parties have agreed, do not break [00:02:02] it. well, this is the second time in the span of months the [00:02:06] Donald Trump has declared surprisingly to the entire [00:02:10] world that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an [00:02:13] energy for last time, Zelensky came out very quickly and [00:02:17] said, there's no such deal in place. this [00:02:21] time [00:02:22] of zelenski has also come out and said that this is the first time he's heard of [00:02:26] it, that [00:02:27] of [00:02:27] of if Russia [00:02:28] of and the United States read to an [00:02:31] of energy sees fire that please inform Ukraine [00:02:34] of and Ukraine would be willing to join in, which is in stark [00:02:38] contrast to what Zelensky said previously, the [00:02:42] last time Trump had declared an energy fire between [00:02:46] Russia and Ukraine, Zelensky came out with all manner [00:02:50] of conditions now under [00:02:53] tremendous pressure with Trump himself coming [00:02:57] out as well as and senators supporting [00:03:01] trump, congress people coming out and saying that, [00:03:04] you know what, perhaps it's time for Zelemsky to [00:03:08] go, should have never started, you wouldn't have lost 30% of your [00:03:12] country already, you've lost 30% of your country and you've had [00:03:16] over million people killed, but he could have [00:03:20] settled it [00:03:20] of many times and he chose not to, that's a war that should have never [00:03:24] started, and I think it's time for Ukraine to get new [00:03:27] president, Donald Trump. uh [00:03:30] referring there of course to the multitude [00:03:34] of peace deals that Basha had put forward, that the United [00:03:38] States had approved the deal made between the United States [00:03:42] and Russia anchrage in [00:03:45] of Alaska during the meeting between Putin and Trump, they agreed [00:03:48] in a framework there, Ukraine rejected it time and time [00:03:52] again for years, Ukraine has either rejected or demanded [00:03:56] conditions, but Russia simply wouldn't accept, and here Donald Trump. [00:04:00] coming outright to the public to cameras saying this [00:04:04] person is incapable of making a deal, [00:04:07] perhaps another should come in, they should hold [00:04:10] elections. Zelensky previously had dismissed any [00:04:14] notion of elections, his [00:04:16] of arguments had been that simply too many people have left Ukraine, [00:04:23] of of then Zelensky complained that simply too many people now live as Russian citizens in Zaparoji [00:04:27] region, Herson region. [00:04:30] a elections he said are simply impossible, [00:04:34] of never mind that russia [00:04:36] in staged elections in september, now the tune has [00:04:40] changed, now he's [00:04:42] of demanding i see far, 60 days to [00:04:46] hold elections in Ukraine, [00:04:48] of please tell Putin, give us two months, [00:04:52] 60 days of total cifire, 60 [00:04:55] days and we will organize elections, of course we will be... [00:05:00] ready for any choice of our people exactly [00:05:04] ukrainian people [00:05:04] how quickly changed [00:05:08] his mind on elections now that donald trump again? [00:05:12] united states official, even [00:05:16] musk piled on saying that perhaps it is time for Zelensky to [00:05:20] move on for someone new to come in, nevertheless this [00:05:24] is all you know in star contrast to Zelensky before, now [00:05:27] he's what can only be described, this panic [00:05:30] mode, you you've had reports, endless reports of [00:05:34] him calling European officials seeking their [00:05:38] support in both the sp, the United States. [00:05:42] regarding elections, but also America's insistance ahold [00:05:46] to strikes on Russian oil refineries, and that is [00:05:50] what what is at the root of this? previously, when Donald Trump [00:05:54] very publicly came out and said Ukraine must stop these [00:05:57] strikes, Russia, of course, before this conflict, supplying [00:06:01] 20, more than 20% the [00:06:03] world's uh global, gas supplies [00:06:07] and mass of shortage caused by Ukrainian [00:06:11] strikes. hurts everyone, it is felt by everyone, [00:06:15] but no one quives like the United States, where [00:06:19] elections depend on the price of uh [00:06:22] gas, of petrol, of diesel at the [00:06:25] pump, and the United States and Russia have made it deal [00:06:29] whereby Putin has agreed to supply the United States with [00:06:33] diesel fuel again, which is manufactured or made [00:06:37] at Russian refineries which are under attack by [00:06:41] Ukraine. Previously when Donald Trump called on Zelensky to [00:06:45] half those strikes, Zelensky came out and said [00:06:49] no, we're going to burn all of, which led [00:06:53] to Donald Trump of course coming out and say such [00:06:56] time for Zelensky to go, Star contrast to [00:07:00] what Zelensky said previously, why are [00:07:04] they blaming you for the continuation of this [00:07:07] war, because these [00:07:11] people, can't find a key how to [00:07:15] stop Putin, because it's [00:07:19] more difficult to stop [00:07:23] Putin than to pressure [00:07:25] others, because it's more [00:07:29] simple to speak about the prices and connect [00:07:32] it with Ukraine, obvious [00:07:36] Russia doesn't depend on the good will the [00:07:40] Congress the United States or... European leaders, [00:07:44] Russia manufactures, it has its own economy, it has [00:07:48] its own sovereign decision making process, Ukraine on the [00:07:52] other hand, entirely dependent on the United States, [00:07:56] nevertheless, we have seen, happening in [00:08:00] real time a change in Zelensky's demena, [00:08:04] from eternal war to, much more flexible [00:08:08] approach where again he is trying to [00:08:11] appease. Donald Trump. Earlier we spoke with [00:08:15] former U.S. Marine Core Intelligence Officer Scott Rider and he says [00:08:19] time is long passed for Zelinski to be making any demands and he's not in a [00:08:23] position to dictate any rules. Vlodimir [00:08:26] Zelinski, I [00:08:27] mean it's it's difficult to call him president, even though he claims that title is, it's been [00:08:31] pointed out, his mandate expired a while back and [00:08:35] he um, hasn't held a new [00:08:37] election, but uh, Zelinsky is in the position to [00:08:41] dictate terms to no. uh, he's losing the war on the [00:08:45] battlefield, he's losing the war economically, he's losing the [00:08:49] war uh politically, both at home and abroad. [00:08:52] um, the the bottom line is that president Trump is [00:08:56] absolutely correct here, that uh, it's time for Zelensky to go, the [00:08:59] question is, who will replace him and will [00:09:03] this alter the the the reality that [00:09:07] currently has uh settled in over Ukraine, Ukraine is defeated [00:09:11] state, the uh experiment that Europe and United States [00:09:14] foisted on Ukraine uh in beginning this conflict um [00:09:18] by empowering western Ukrainian nationalists this experiment has [00:09:22] failed and unless you replace Zelinski with somebody [00:09:26] who recognizes the failure of this experiment and acts [00:09:30] um accordingly you're just going to get a continuation the [00:09:33] same. There's been a new attack [00:09:37] near Riyad's main international airport. The Saudi Lad coalition says it's [00:09:41] air defenses intercept. and destroyed cruise missile. A [00:09:44] projectile struck passenger hole number four at King Khalid [00:09:48] International Airport in aread, sparking fire inside the [00:09:52] terminal, [00:09:53] and this marks the fourth attack on the airport in just one week, raising [00:09:56] deep concerns over the security of Saudi Arabia's critical [00:09:59] infrastructure. Some the footage here circulating on social media, and [00:10:03] it comes after the hoothies warned anyone from using Saudi Arabia's air [00:10:07] or sea ports. The [00:10:11] Yemeny Armed. forces renew their warning to all shipping companies, airlines, [00:10:15] experts, employees, workers and travelers against using Saudi airports and [00:10:19] airspace as they are exposed to targeting and are a theater for [00:10:23] operations by our forces with exception the airports of Mecca [00:10:26] al-Mukarrama and Medina Al-Munawara. We urge everyone to [00:10:30] take our warning seriously and Saudi Arabia bears responsibility for any [00:10:34] failed interceptions. On Saturday, 12 people were killed [00:10:38] and more than 300 wounded in houti attack on King Khalid [00:10:42] International Airport in Riyadh. Unverified footage circulating [00:10:46] online appears to show the immediate aftermath inside the airport. Moscow has [00:10:49] condemned to the strike and hold on both sides to abandon attacks on [00:10:53] civilian infrastructure. a Riad based correspondent says the [00:10:57] strike inflicted the substantial damage to terminals which handle both [00:11:00] domestic and international [00:11:02] flights. [00:11:06] Indeed, this statement was issued by the Saudi General Authority of Civil [00:11:10] Aviation, approximately six hours after the initial announcement made [00:11:13] earlier today. It provided details on the number of casualties, [00:11:17] confirming 12 dead and 309 wounded, including several [00:11:21] in critical condition currently receiving treatment at hospitals in [00:11:26] Among the dead were four Saudi nationals, two Bangladeshis, one [00:11:30] American citizen, one Egyptian, one Jordanian, one [00:11:33] Syrian, and one Palestinian. May they all rest in peace. [00:11:37] Airport operations remain suspended for the time being as a [00:11:40] precautionary measure to ensure the safety of facilities and the [00:11:44] continuation of operational processes. The recent statement also [00:11:48] confirms that efforts are underway to assess the extent the material [00:11:51] damages in coordination with authorities. Today's toll. present [00:11:55] the highest recorded from either huti or Iranian attacks during assaults on the [00:11:59] kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I must also mention the attempt to maintain [00:12:03] operations at King Fodd International Airport in Damasham, which is [00:12:07] situated outside the city. We are currently managing the situation as [00:12:11] there has also been an incident outside the airport area. This provides a [00:12:14] summary of what has transpired thus far and we are waiting further details [00:12:18] regarding the injuries that are being treated. Furthermore, we have received [00:12:22] information concerning the extent the damage to that. According to our [00:12:26] sources, the areas impacted were terminal 3 and terminal 4. [00:12:30] Terminal 3 is designated for domestic flights between cities in Saudi [00:12:33] Arabia, while terminal 4 accommodates certain international [00:12:36] carriers. A senior kuthi spokesperson told [00:12:40] RT that the group's actions were a direct response to aggression by the sudis [00:12:44] against civilian areas in [00:12:46] Yemen. Yes, these [00:12:50] attacks are Yemeni attacks after 12 years of Saudi aggression destroying [00:12:54] Yemen. infrastructure, whether airports, ports, even wedding and [00:12:58] funeral halls, as well as schools, hospitals and markets. It targeted [00:13:01] everything in Yemen and targeted and destroyed all infrastructure, and today it [00:13:05] acknowledges that airports are civilian facilities that must not be [00:13:09] targeted under international law, but we say that we deal with Saudi [00:13:13] Arabia in kind, and our military operations deep inside the Saudi [00:13:16] entity will continue and will not end except by destroying all Saudi [00:13:20] infrastructure belonging to the government, whether military facilities, airports, or [00:13:24] even port... and any vital facilities belonging to the Saudi regime. We [00:13:28] do not do this out of revenge or to take vengeance, but rather to force the Saudi [00:13:32] leadership to accept a comprehensive and permanent peace by agreeing to end the war [00:13:36] and end the siege by both sides. The Saudi leadership can agree to [00:13:40] achieve peace, and these are Yemen's demands. This [00:13:44] comes amid a rapid escalation the conflict in Yemen. The hoothies have [00:13:47] released footage which they say shows dozens of fighters from the saudie backed [00:13:51] presidential council surrendering. And the video comes as Saudi [00:13:55] Arabia and its regional partners plan to step up their military cooperation [00:13:59] on Monday, raising concerns that the conflict could expand [00:14:03] further and draw more countries in. Earlier [00:14:07] this week, Saudiled forces in Yemen already destroyed three the [00:14:10] Khuthi's rocket launch platforms, which they say claim were [00:14:14] used to quote, threatened regional security. The Saudi [00:14:18] Air Force was said to have carried out 59 air strikes and [00:14:22] missile attacks in just 24 hours, causing mult. full [00:14:25] casualties, and for more on [00:14:29] this, let's cross live saudi political researcher Khalid [00:14:32] batarfi, welcome to the program sir, the airport in [00:14:36] Riad has been struck again with the tax targeting terminal four and [00:14:40] the surrounding area, what do you make these repeated [00:14:42] attacks? well, it's [00:14:46] reminds me of what did [00:14:49] in in the early years [00:14:53] of 2000, "when they attacked [00:14:57] everything that's related to the government and affected [00:15:00] civilians and that the goal is [00:15:04] to force the government to acknowledge them [00:15:07] to accept their [00:15:10] demands to show the world that they can do [00:15:14] this, show their supporters they can win and their [00:15:18] winning is against us, all of us, [00:15:22] it's not against the government alone. so [00:15:26] what thehis are trying to do have [00:15:29] been tried by other militias [00:15:33] that is being supported and directed by Iran. [00:15:38] and Daesh and they failed and this one [00:15:41] will also fail because the Saudi Saudi Arabia will not [00:15:45] accept those demands, [00:15:48] so this will continue, Saudi Arabia will attack all [00:15:51] sources of power of [00:15:54] fire in in there in Yemen [00:15:58] and would support the Yemani government all the [00:16:02] way, but why do you think uh the airport was [00:16:05] specifically targeted? well it has [00:16:08] symbolic meaning, mean it, it affects it the [00:16:12] capital of Saudi Arabia, so [00:16:15] attacking the airport is more important than [00:16:19] attacking say abha or najran, which is [00:16:23] they used to attack for for many years, now [00:16:27] they are trying to show that they can reach the [00:16:31] capital of riyadh and they can attack [00:16:34] its airport and they can infl damage [00:16:38] and that's what the militias [00:16:41] and the tourists think all the [00:16:44] way and every time they [00:16:48] attack civilian targets. do you think we can [00:16:52] anticipate additional security measures or reinforcements at Saudi [00:16:56] airports in response? of course, there will [00:17:00] be improvement in security and [00:17:03] ability to intercept these miss. [00:17:09] uh [00:17:09] more and more we get experience, we have a long experience with [00:17:13] hundreds of missiles from this terrorist [00:17:16] group and will have to adapt to the [00:17:20] new equipment they got from [00:17:22] Iran uh and we'll have [00:17:26] to to deal with them, we have other [00:17:29] choice, and the Mecca [00:17:32] defense pact involving Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan [00:17:36] is now active. with forces being deployed a mid another attack on Saudi [00:17:40] infrastructure, what developments do you expect to see [00:17:43] next? well, this is defense pact [00:17:47] and [00:17:47] the those forces are to help in defending Saudi [00:17:51] Arabia, but to attack the [00:17:54] sources of fire, to support the [00:17:58] Yemen government, this is another, this is another matter and [00:18:02] it has another allies, some these countries [00:18:05] are part of... of this and part [00:18:08] the red sea alliance and part [00:18:12] the alliance, the islamic alliance against [00:18:16] terror, so what they do, what [00:18:20] they are expected to do is is up [00:18:23] to the alliances they are part [00:18:26] of, but so far [00:18:30] the the pact was [00:18:33] activated and they are doing what [00:18:37] were supposed to do by providing logistic, [00:18:40] intelligence and defense [00:18:44] equipment of Saudi Arabia, and President Trump [00:18:47] stated, quote, we'll make decision when asked whether the US [00:18:51] would join Saudi strikes against the hoouties, what would potential US [00:18:55] military involvement imply for Yemen and the wider [00:18:58] region? the US is [00:19:02] imported already by providing intelligence [00:19:05] and cooperate and many [00:19:08] matters, security [00:19:11] matters, also by profiding what [00:19:14] saudi forces needed of equipment and [00:19:17] emotion, what you are talking about is [00:19:20] whether the united states will help [00:19:24] in attacking this [00:19:28] sources of fire and whether they will [00:19:32] support directly the yemani government, well that's [00:19:36] a matter to... considered and according to Trump, he didn't [00:19:39] decide it yet, [00:19:41] and finally, how vulnerable is Saudi Arabia's critical infrastructure to [00:19:45] missile and drone attacks and are its air defenses [00:19:49] capable of managing this threat? [00:19:53] 100%, of course no, 90% [00:19:57] so far is very good and put us on the top [00:20:00] the world achievements, [00:20:04] but a country as fast as Saudi Arabia, [00:20:08] uh so many cities, so many oil installation, so many [00:20:12] ports, we have 28 airports in Saudi [00:20:14] Arabia, so protecting this much land [00:20:18] and this much facilities will [00:20:22] require lots of investment, lots of [00:20:25] work, and I believe they are working on this, the other [00:20:29] side uh is getting improved [00:20:32] abilities like the new missiles they are [00:20:36] using. against Saudi Arabia uh they have all [00:20:40] the uh the fingerprints of [00:20:43] Iran [00:20:44] on on that uh and they have also Iranian [00:20:48] experts and companies and others [00:20:51] helping them to do that, so let us wait and see, [00:20:55] but I expect Saudi Arabia to improve its facility [00:20:59] as well to respond to all this new [00:21:01] development. All right, Khalid batarfi, sorry [00:21:05] political researcher, I appreciate you speaking to us today on this. [00:21:09] You're welcome sir, [00:21:12] now with Saudi Arabia coming under attack from the Hultis a daily basis, the [00:21:16] Mecca defensive agreement between the Kingdom, Turkey and Pakistan is in. [00:21:28] Let me stress again, my friends, that this is defense agreement. When a [00:21:31] state party to this agreement comes under attack, you stand by it to help it [00:21:35] defend itself. This is not an offensive agreement. In other words, [00:21:39] Turkey will not send its forces to the territory of another state to carry out [00:21:43] attack. In Mecca, three leaders signed a promise, attack [00:21:47] on one is attack on all. Turkia. Saudi [00:21:50] Arabia, Pakistan. Two months on, that promise is [00:21:54] under fire. Hoothi missiles and drones keep hitting Saudi airports and [00:21:58] oil sites. Meeting in Riad, the Mecca Alliance agreed to send [00:22:02] forces to the kingdom and quickly. The committee [00:22:05] decided to move immediately to the practical implementation the collective [00:22:09] defense commitments and to take the necessary measures to provide the agreed [00:22:13] military forces and capabilities and ensure their rapid deployment in the [00:22:16] kingdom. In accordance with the approved arrangements in the nation. legislation [00:22:20] the parties, thereby enhancing readiness, military integration, and the [00:22:24] collective capacity to confront and counter threats. President Erdogan has [00:22:28] spelled out what that support could look like: such [00:22:32] support could take the form of intelligence, logistical or ammunition [00:22:35] assistance. More advanced military support could also be considered depending on the scale [00:22:39] the threat. Unka keeps the details to itself, and reports [00:22:43] are filling the silence, special forces, pilots and aircraft, [00:22:47] helping defend Riyad and the Holy Cities. an American official [00:22:51] says the help includes Turkish drone operators, none of it is on the [00:22:54] record. Monday's statement does set one condition, forces [00:22:58] deploy in accordance with the national legislation of each country. In [00:23:02] turkia, [00:23:02] that means parliament, and parliament hasn't even ratified the [00:23:06] pact. As for the Mecca agreement, the process here has [00:23:10] in fact matured in terms the work done by the ministry. But of [00:23:14] course, for the agreement to take effect, it will come to parliament, and since this work [00:23:18] has matured, it will be sent to... parliament within a few days. [00:23:22] Ankara's ambitions reach beyond the red sea. David Bachchel, who leads [00:23:26] the nationalist MHP, the ruling party's partner in [00:23:29] parliament, says the pact will elevate the country to the center [00:23:32] of global geopolitics. This is an exceptionally [00:23:36] sound and important agreement. Its tendency towards expansion is also [00:23:40] of immense strategic value. If these efforts are carried out under Turkey is [00:23:44] leadership, this will bring us to the center, making us much more reputable [00:23:48] in the world. So the next vote in Ankara is a [00:23:52] treaty, not on troops. Sending soldiers would take a second decision of [00:23:56] its own. The arithmetic favors the government, the Ruling [00:23:59] Alliance, the Justice and Development Party, and the nationalist movement [00:24:03] party, holds 326 a parliament 600 [00:24:07] seats. The largest opposition party wants no part in it, and its [00:24:11] leader Uzgruza says, signing defense pack with a country at [00:24:14] war makes Turkia a party to that conflict. [00:24:18] International agreements will have. [00:24:20] to be approved in this parliament if there are soldiers and weapons involved, we do not [00:24:24] accept being part of Trump's Middle East order, we do not accept the adventurism of [00:24:28] Trump, which will send soldiers to the deserts of Yemen for 100 [00:24:31] years. Ankara frames its role as defending Saudi [00:24:35] Arabia. has message for [00:24:39] Ankara and Islamabad. the [00:24:42] Saudis want to involve regional powers, not only from the Arab arena, [00:24:46] but even within the Islamic world. they aim to bring in the... [00:25:20] and RT in Istanbul and to [00:25:24] India now there where for second day a row New Delhi has been [00:25:28] hit with protests over alleged electoral fraud. The government rejects the [00:25:32] claim citing India's economic growth and the prime minister's popularity [00:25:36] as the key to recent success at the ballot [00:25:38] box. Fete [00:25:40] explains. Now thousands of protesters have been [00:25:44] detained by the Delhi Police and commandos and forces [00:25:48] from the other forces. as well which includes CRPF, [00:25:52] Raf, SSB, BSF etc. Now these [00:25:55] protesters were detained because they were year out on [00:25:58] the streets of New Delhi and Central Delhi protesting [00:26:01] against. Kumar who is the chief election [00:26:05] commissioner of India and they are demanding his resignation [00:26:09] along with other demands like scrapping of SIR voter [00:26:12] list because over 130 million people were left [00:26:16] out the voter list. Now remember these protests were lead by the [00:26:20] Cookroad Janta party that is the CJP. However, the main [00:26:24] members and the founder of this party was detained [00:26:28] just yesterday as soon as they landed in Delhi for the protest. [00:26:31] Today as... of now they have been released and they also held a press [00:26:35] briefing where they have said and ensured everybody that all [00:26:39] these protests would still continue till their [00:26:43] demands are met. now remember all these areas of New Delhi [00:26:47] and central Delhi are coming under the BNSS [00:26:50] 163 section which enforces the [00:26:54] rule that more than four people cannot gather in one location [00:26:57] and if done so then they would be detained hence lot of [00:27:01] protesters more than thousands of protesters have been detained [00:27:04] in these two days, now [00:27:08] the police have not seen any violence happening [00:27:12] during these protest, however the police are [00:27:15] taking extra care that these protests do [00:27:19] not go further, they are not allowing people to gather in one [00:27:23] place, over 200 or 300 police [00:27:27] march in the streets these lanes in central [00:27:31] Delhi and New Delhi. where they try to detain these protesters [00:27:34] and control the crowd movement, in fact we [00:27:38] have also witnessed that there have been water cannons, [00:27:42] vehicles, lot of police vans and buses to [00:27:45] detain these protesters and also lot of [00:27:49] tier gas vehicles placed and stationed [00:27:52] in some areas where these protests are going on. now all [00:27:56] these protests were going to happen a designated place that's the jantar [00:28:00] mantar here in Delhi however, the permission was denied for the [00:28:04] protest to happen there, which is exactly why a lot of [00:28:08] protesters, including student union members [00:28:11] started protesting just near the areas of jantar [00:28:15] mantar, which is also this place called cannot place, [00:28:19] now lot of protesters have already been detained, [00:28:23] but people are still coming in, in fact the [00:28:26] important thing to note here is that people [00:28:30] are still coming in even though, CJP has said that these protests [00:28:34] would continue and tomorrow there is a chance [00:28:38] that different political parties which are the opposition [00:28:41] political parties might also carry forward with [00:28:45] such protest and with the same demands. In fact last week we [00:28:49] also witnessed that India block which is the [00:28:53] multi-party opposition block of India [00:28:57] also held a series of protests back to back [00:29:00] demanding the same things. [00:29:05] This is all the news we have for you this hour and Rori Susi will be joining you in the studio [00:29:09] in about 30 minutes with more news and analysis to stay with [00:29:12] us. [00:29:31] Gentlemen, I confess my self increasingly disconcerted by the Russians [00:29:35] rather alarming advances in Asia. [00:29:37] Indeed. Word has reached us that they have of late dispatched [00:29:41] their first steamship to Bombay. [00:29:45] India must remain [00:29:48] hours. [00:29:54] Their fews came true. The Russians really did come to India, [00:29:58] but not as colonizers and we quickly founded. [00:30:02] common [00:30:03] language, [00:30:22] hello and welcome to world's apart. if you were asked to [00:30:25] describe the United States relationship with other countries in three [00:30:29] words, what would you choose? construct? active, [00:30:32] strategic and stable, are almost certainly not near [00:30:36] the top the list, and yet, according to President Trump and President [00:30:40] She, this trial will supposedly form the basis [00:30:44] the US-China relationship going forward. how [00:30:47] realistic is that? well, to discuss that, I'm now joined by Andrew Lung [00:30:51] a China specialist and Hong Kong's former chief [00:30:55] representative for the UK, Russia, and number of [00:30:59] EU member states.
