Sea Agreement water temperatures was in some centers are as follows: Alanya 30, Kemer 29, Fethiye and Kaş 28, Datça and Ayvalık 26, Bodrum 24, Çeşme 22 degrees. Hello again, dear viewers, we will continue to convey the prominent developments on TRT Haber with all the details. We will start our bulletin by conveying the latest developments in Palestine. Unfortunately, Israeli oppression continues in the occupied Palestinian territories. Israeli forces set houses on [00:00:04] signed between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. [00:00:08] A joint statement from the three countries was released regarding the agreement. [00:00:11] The statement emphasized deep historical relations, [00:00:14] deep-rooted brotherhood, and Islamic solidarity [00:00:17] between the countries. It was highlighted that the agreement is a reflection of the common [00:00:21] will to promote peace and stability in the region and beyond. [00:00:24] The agreement provides collective [00:00:27] deterrence against all kinds of aggression." [00:00:45] So what does the agreement cover? The agreement [00:00:48] does not target any country. It represents [00:00:51] a line of brotherhood extending from Anatolia to Hejaz, [00:00:55] from Islamabad to Riyadh. The agreement aims [00:00:59] to establish a common understanding of security and burden-sharing. [00:01:02] It aims to strengthen commitments towards preserving regional and global peace, [00:01:06] stability, and prosperity. Contributing to the goal of [00:01:09] a region free of terrorism is also one of [00:01:13] the prominent goals of the agreement. The cooperation [00:01:16] of the three countries does not mean a departure from any alliance or [00:01:19] agreement. Turkey combines its regional influence and experience [00:01:22] with the powerful actors [00:01:24] in the region. [00:01:27] And economy. With the agreement, [00:01:31] the security of global maritime trade routes will also be strengthened, thereby contributing to exports, [00:01:35] energy supply, and economic stability. Contribution [00:01:37] will be provided. [00:01:42] President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made a statement [00:01:46] regarding the Mecca Defense Agreement. Erdoğan [00:01:49] emphasized collective deterrence. He said that [00:01:52] the agreement will contribute to advancing our security [00:01:55] and defense cooperation and combating terrorism. Erdoğan also stated [00:01:59] that the Mecca Defense Agreement does not target any country, [00:02:02] and that the agreement is open to the participation of all sister countries. [00:02:06] Erdoğan used [00:02:11] these expressions. He emphasized collective deterrence and said [00:02:15] that it will contribute to combating terrorism. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan [00:02:18] made a statement regarding the Mecca Defense Agreement. [00:02:22] This agreement, based on collective deterrence, aims to advance [00:02:25] our security and defense cooperation, and develop joint projects [00:02:29] in the defense industry. [00:02:34] In his message, Erdoğan reminded of the right to legitimate [00:02:37] self-defense defined in Article 51 of the United [00:02:41] Nations Charter. He said that the agreement [00:02:43] is open to the participation of all sister countries. [00:02:46] The agreement, which also affirms the right of self-defense [00:02:49] defined in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, does not target any country [00:02:53] and is open to the participation of all sister countries [00:02:56] that aim for the peace, prosperity, and stability of our region. [00:03:00] The President also stated that Turkey will continue its principled [00:03:04] stance of dialogue and diplomacy in resolving crises. Turkey [00:03:07] will resolutely maintain its principled [00:03:10] stance of resolving conflicts and crises through dialogue [00:03:14] and diplomacy based on respect for international law [00:03:18] in line with its regional ownership [00:03:22] vision. President Erdoğan's statements regarding the Mecca Defense [00:03:25] Agreement were very important. Dear viewers, a truly significant [00:03:29] agreement was signed. Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, [00:03:32] the leading military powers of the region, signed [00:03:36] a joint defense agreement, and this triple [00:03:39] defense alliance is a critical threshold in regional balances [00:03:43] and the international security architecture. Turkey [00:03:47] is a strategic actor with its strong army and defense industry. [00:03:50] Pakistan stands out as the only Muslim [00:03:53] nuclear power, while Saudi Arabia stands out with its energy [00:03:56] resources and financial power. [00:04:01] Common threat perception, increasing regional crises, and technological [00:04:05] transformation in the defense industry brought Turkey, Saudi Arabia, [00:04:08] and Pakistan to the same table. [00:04:12] First of all, the Mecca Agreement is an agreement for [00:04:16] collective deterrence. It is a strategic [00:04:19] response developed by the countries of the region [00:04:23] against geopolitical transformation and security [00:04:26] problems in the region. [00:04:33] The Iran war, Israeli aggression, and the Strait of Hormuz [00:04:36] expedited [00:04:40] this. We need to state that this shaping [00:04:43] is based on creating a strategic deterrence [00:04:46] to make it and peace geography. [00:04:47] The prominent [00:04:51] capabilities of Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia [00:04:55] in the alliance complement [00:04:57] each other. [00:05:00] Turkey's high operational capability, production [00:05:03] capacity, and army, Saudi Arabia's effective [00:05:06] structuring in energy and financial capabilities, [00:05:10] and Pakistan's conventional army, along with its nuclear [00:05:14] power structure. [00:05:18] Turkey's military and operational experience gained from its NATO [00:05:21] membership is also expected to contribute to the tripartite [00:05:25] mechanism. Experts point to Turkey's more than [00:05:28] 70 years of NATO experience. In the legal dimension of the [00:05:32] agreement, Article 51 of the United [00:05:34] Nations Charter stands out. [00:05:37] An attack on any country [00:05:41] is considered to have been made [00:05:44] on another country. NATO Article 5 is also [00:05:47] based on this principle. These three countries [00:05:51] have now expressed themselves within a common [00:05:55] security umbrella with reference to Article 51 of the United [00:05:58] Nations Charter. With the agreement, military training, personnel [00:06:02] exchange, joint exercises, and defense industry [00:06:05] cooperations are expected [00:06:07] between the three countries. In fact, these countries [00:06:11] are clearly sending a message that they want a region [00:06:14] without terrorism, conflict, and war. [00:06:17] This regional initiative can expand over time [00:06:20] to include other countries and mitigate the conflict [00:06:24] environment surrounding the Middle East in the short [00:06:28] term, and pave the way for a more comprehensive [00:06:31] peace agreement [00:06:33] in the long [00:06:37] term. Indeed, the Mecca Agreement [00:06:40] was the most important [00:07:12] headline of the past day. However, developments were followed [00:07:16] minute by minute. Television channels, including Qatar-based [00:07:20] Al Jazeera and Dubai-based Al Arabiya, broadcast [00:07:23] the agreement live to their viewers. Pakistani media also announced [00:07:27] the development as breaking [00:07:30] news. The Mecca Agreement also received wide coverage [00:07:33] in the Azerbaijani press. In the news explaining [00:07:36] the details of the agreement, President Erdoğan's [00:07:40] posts were included. The agreement [00:07:42] was also on the agenda of the Western media. French 24 channel [00:07:46] followed the agreement closely. British BBC News pointed [00:07:49] out that the agreement is one of the most important [00:07:53] security steps in recent years. British news agency Reuters [00:07:57] announced the developments regarding the Mecca Agreement [00:08:00] with the headline: "Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan sign [00:08:03] joint defense agreement amidst regional turmoil." The British [00:08:07] Financial Times also emphasized that the agreement is a strategic [00:08:11] step taken to increase regional [00:08:14] deterrence. German ARD channel emphasized that Pakistan [00:08:17] and Saudi Arabia want to further strengthen military cooperation [00:08:21] with Turkey. German news channel NTV [00:08:24] reported the news as follows: "In addition to NATO being [00:08:28] the world's largest defense alliance, a new and smaller [00:08:31] defense pact is now being formed." [00:08:35] American news agency AIP served the news to its subscribers [00:08:39] with the statement: "Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan [00:08:42] signed an important defense agreement." The New York [00:08:46] Times newspaper also announced the agreement to its readers [00:08:50] on its front page. The news stated that Turkey, Saudi Arabia, [00:08:53] and Pakistan signed a Joint Defense Pact which stipulates [00:08:57] that an armed attack on any of the three countries will be considered [00:09:01] an attack on all three. Greek Sky Television reported [00:09:05] the agreement as breaking news. It emphasized the strategic [00:09:08] advantages of Turkey, Pakistan, [00:09:12] and Saudi Arabia. The agreement was given wide coverage. [00:09:16] It was stated that an attack on one of the signatory states [00:09:20] would be considered [00:09:22] an attack on the others. The Indian press also closely [00:09:26] followed the developments. New Delhi Television [00:09:29] reported the news with the headline: "Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey [00:09:32] sign critical defense [00:09:37] pact." The Directorate of Communications denied [00:09:41] some allegations regarding the Mecca Joint Defense [00:09:44] Agreement, refuting claims that it contradicts [00:09:47] NATO Article 5 and creates a parallel [00:09:51] alliance structure. The statement said that Turkey's [00:09:54] development of regional partnerships is not an alternative [00:09:57] to NATO membership. The Center for Combating Disinformation [00:10:01] stated that claims that the Mecca Joint Defense [00:10:04] Agreement is a parallel alliance to NATO are untrue. [00:10:08] It was emphasized that the agreement does not conflict [00:10:12] with Turkey's existing international alliance commitments, [00:10:16] including NATO, but rather constitutes [00:10:19] a complementary cooperation mechanism that supports regional [00:10:22] security. The Mecca Joint [00:10:25] Defense Agreement was noted to be a defense-oriented [00:10:29] arrangement aimed at increasing deterrence. It was stated [00:10:32] that the agreement does not target a third country [00:10:36] or bloc, but aims to strengthen [00:10:45] defense industry cooperation, military training, technology [00:10:49] sharing, and regional stability. Dear viewers, we will continue [00:10:52] with the US-Iran line. The question is, [00:10:55] will a final agreement be reached between Iran and the United [00:10:58] States? At the latest point, US President Donald [00:11:02] Trump said that negotiations [00:11:06] and he thought an agreement would be reached soon. There [00:11:09] are even some allegations in the US press. It is said that if Iran [00:11:13] secures passage in the Strait of Hormuz, [00:11:16] the US could lift the blockade. On the Iranian side, [00:11:20] Iran announced that it has agreed with Oman on the passage [00:11:23] route for commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. [00:11:26] A preliminary draft [00:11:28] law regarding passages [00:11:33] is also being reviewed in the Iranian Parliament. [00:11:36] Let's look at the developments in detail together. Will the US and Iran [00:11:40] reach an agreement? Will the Strait of Hormuz [00:11:44] be opened? The world continues to wait anxiously [00:11:48] for the answers to these questions. US President Donald [00:11:51] Trump spoke about the ongoing negotiations with Iran. [00:11:57] Trump, who said that the negotiations were going [00:12:00] well, thought that the war with Iran would end soon. [00:12:04] I think this war will end quite soon, I don't think [00:12:07] Iran can endure much longer, I think we're doing very well, [00:12:10] you know, I'm personally in the negotiation process, [00:12:14] I think we're in a good position, a resolution can be reached soon, [00:12:17] it could be very soon. The Tehran administration [00:12:21] announced that an agreement has been reached with Oman [00:12:25] regarding the route to be established for the safe passage [00:12:28] of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. It was stated [00:12:32] that the joint draft, which includes [00:12:34] the basic issues, is being reviewed [00:12:38] in the Iranian Parliament. Iranian media [00:12:40] wrote that the draft [00:12:43] also includes the prohibition of passage through the Strait [00:12:47] of Hormuz for ships belonging to the US, Israel, [00:12:50] and other enemy countries, and that the Iranian Parliament [00:12:54] is evaluating the issue. Iranian Parliament Speaker [00:12:57] Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf accused [00:13:00] the US administration of failing to fulfill its commitments. [00:13:03] Ghalibaf, who described Trump's contradictory [00:13:06] statements, consisting [00:13:08] of negotiation and threats [00:13:12] of attack, as a failed theater diplomacy, reacted [00:13:16] with the words: "US administration, accept the facts and fulfill [00:13:19] your commitments, we don't need any more [00:13:22] theater." We will continue with the latest developments [00:13:26] in Gaza. Israeli oppression continues [00:13:30] in the occupied Palestinian territories despite the ceasefire. [00:13:33] Israeli forces set fire to homes and wounded [00:13:37] Palestinians [00:13:37] in raids [00:13:42] in different parts of the West Bank. In the Musafir Yatta [00:13:46] region, they rendered the solar panels, [00:13:50] the only source of electricity for the people, [00:13:53] unusable. In Gaza, [00:14:02] efforts to reach [00:14:05] the bodies under the rubble continue. Roads are closed, [00:14:09] homes are raided. [00:14:09] Palestinians are detained. [00:14:13] The genocidal Israeli oppression continues [00:14:17] in the occupied West Bank. These images are [00:14:19] from the Musafir Yatta region of Hebron. They [00:14:23] forcibly entered homes, [00:14:27] poured gasoline on clothes [00:14:31] and on the ground, and set fire [00:14:34] to our neighbors' homes and sheepfolds. [00:14:37] More than 40 settlers [00:14:40] attacked Palestinians at the same time, burning [00:14:44] homes while everyone was asleep. They also [00:14:48] rendered the solar panels, which meet [00:14:52] the region's electricity needs, unusable. This [00:14:55] solar energy [00:14:58] system is the main energy line that provides [00:15:01] electricity to the village. We are dependent [00:15:04] on solar panels for electricity. [00:15:08] 6 Filipinos were injured [00:15:12] in the attacks. Genocidal Israeli forces [00:15:16] also beat an 80-year-old [00:15:19] Palestinian in Ramallah. [00:15:22] The toll [00:15:26] of the Qalandiya refugee camp raid has also emerged. [00:15:29] 51 Palestinians were injured. Many [00:15:32] Palestinians were detained. Israel's illegal [00:15:36] expansionist policy in the occupied [00:15:39] territories also continues. They will uproot [00:15:43] olive trees [00:15:46] in a 316-decare area. In the Gaza [00:15:49] Strip, [00:15:54] search efforts continue in the rubble [00:15:57] of buildings destroyed in attacks [00:16:01] by killer Israel. Civil [00:16:05] defense teams announced [00:16:08] that approximately 170 more bodies [00:16:11] were found in the rubble of 8 buildings. [00:16:15] Now, let's convey a development, [00:16:19] or rather an allegation, between [00:16:22] Iran and Israel. Iran's espionage activities [00:16:26] in Israel have recently reached remarkable [00:16:30] dimensions. According to data from the Shin Bet [00:16:33] Intelligence Agency, espionage activities [00:16:36] carried out on behalf of Iran have increased [00:16:39] by 400% in the last 2 years. At least [00:16:42] 70 Israeli citizens have also been arrested [00:16:46] on charges of spying for Iran. [00:16:50] Iran's espionage activities [00:16:53] within Israel are increasing. According to data from the Israeli [00:16:57] internal intelligence agency [00:17:01] Shin Bet, the Tehran administration's activities [00:17:05] to collect information from Israel [00:17:08] increased by 400% in the last 2 years. [00:17:11] According to reports, Iran uses digital [00:17:15] channels as well as classic [00:17:18] espionage methods. It is stated that [00:17:22] it establishes contact with Israeli [00:17:25] citizens through social media platforms. [00:17:28] The process begins with simple [00:17:30] tasks on social [00:17:35] media. Then, tasks such as photographing [00:17:38] military bases and tracking high-ranking [00:17:41] officials are given. At the end of July, [00:17:45] an ambulance driver in Israel was arrested [00:17:49] on suspicion of spying for Iran. The suspect [00:17:53] allegedly took photos of President Herzog [00:17:56] and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich [00:17:59] during their visit to a hospital and sent [00:18:03] them to Iranian intelligence. In the last [00:18:06] two years, at least 70 Israeli [00:18:10] citizens have been arrested on charges of spying [00:18:13] for Iran. It was stated that the suspects [00:18:16] collected images [00:18:19] and information regarding military [00:18:22] bases, critical ports, and Iron [00:18:25] Dome systems. Let's continue [00:18:29] with the Russia-Ukraine line. Dear viewers, [00:18:32] mutual attacks continue. Ukraine continued its attacks [00:18:35] on Russia's logistical [00:18:40] infrastructure. This time, the warehouse [00:18:43] of an e-commerce company in Yekaterinburg [00:18:47] was targeted. While Russia's attacks on Ukrainian [00:18:49] cities continued, President Volodymyr [00:18:52] Zelensky reiterated his call for air defense [00:18:56] support from NATO once again. The US Intelligence [00:19:00] report that Russia could test NATO [00:19:03] was leaked to the American press. Russian [00:19:06] e-commerce company Wildberries [00:19:10] is Ukraine's target. Long-range [00:19:13] UAVs this time hit the warehouse [00:19:17] in Yekaterinburg. The facility, [00:19:21] located approximately [00:19:23] 2,000 kilometers [00:19:27] from the front line, became one of the farthest [00:19:30] targets. Kyiv has attacked more than 10 [00:19:33] of the company's warehouses since [00:19:37] July 18. Russia's attacks on Ukraine [00:19:40] continued in the Dnipropetrovsk region. 5 people [00:19:44] lost their lives in the attacks. [00:19:46] 16 people were injured. Moscow also announced [00:19:50] that it hit three Ukrainian cargo ships [00:19:53] with UAVs in the Black Sea, alleging [00:19:56] that they were carrying military cargo. Ukraine [00:20:00] requested accelerated [00:20:03] air defense support from NATO against Russia's [00:20:15] attacks. While Zelensky drew attention to the need [00:20:19] for Patriot systems and interceptor missiles, NATO Secretary [00:20:22] General Mark Rutte said that they [00:20:25] are working to accelerate support. NATO's military [00:20:29] support to Ukraine is also on Moscow's agenda. [00:20:32] Russian Foreign Ministry Deputy Spokesperson [00:20:35] Alexey Fadeyev said that this should [00:20:39] be abandoned. He called on the US to focus [00:20:42] on a peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian crisis. [00:20:46] The US Intelligence report on Russia was leaked [00:20:50] to the press. According to the Wall Street [00:20:53] Journal, Russia is expected to test [00:20:55] NATO's resolve with a limited move [00:20:59] or a hybrid [00:21:01] attack within [00:21:07] a few years. The report stated that this was not [00:21:11] considered likely in previous reports, and that the report [00:21:14] is an intelligence assessment based [00:21:18] on possible scenarios. Dear viewers, [00:21:21] an attack was carried out on a school in Nonthaburi [00:21:25] province, north of Bangkok, the capital [00:21:28] of Thailand. The armed assailant [00:21:32] wreaked havoc. Here are the images of those terrifying [00:21:35] moments captured [00:21:40] by cameras. In the attacks, unfortunately, 8 people, [00:21:43] including teachers and students, [00:21:47] lost their lives, and 30 people were injured. [00:21:50] In the images shared on social media, [00:21:54] the panic experienced by students [00:21:57] in the classrooms during the attack [00:22:01] was captured minute by minute [00:22:04] by cameras. It was reported that the assailant was [00:22:08] a student and shot himself after [00:22:12] the incident. Now [00:22:15] for the markets. How did the markets close? Let's take [00:22:19] a look. The focus of global markets this week [00:22:23] was again on statements from the US-Iran line. [00:22:26] It was observed that more positive [00:22:30] news flow and hopes for an agreement were [00:22:33] priced in. While oil prices fell by more than 9%, [00:22:37] gold prices achieved their strongest [00:22:41] performance in the last 8 months. Now [00:22:44] we will bring [00:22:46] you the weekly market [00:22:50] table. Markets closed their eyes [00:22:54] to negative news flow this week. They priced [00:22:57] in expectations for an agreement [00:23:00] in the Middle East. Despite continued [00:23:03] uncertainties, oil prices pulled back by nearly 9% [00:23:07] this week. Brent crude oil traded [00:23:11] around $80 per barrel. [00:23:15] The ripple effect continues to shrink. This means [00:23:19] that the stress there is decreasing. But [00:23:22] we still have a ripple effect. It will likely [00:23:25] be squeezed to $80-85. Closures below $79 [00:23:28] would have been the point where the needle would break. [00:23:31] The market does not want to close there right [00:23:34] now. Gold prices, which had been trading [00:23:38] in a narrow range [00:23:39] for some time, [00:23:43] broke out of the sideways trend. They reached [00:23:47] their highest level in two months. With a weekly [00:23:50] gain of over 7%, gold also saw its strongest [00:23:53] close in the last 8 months. [00:23:55] We are going through [00:23:58] a pricing environment where pullbacks are buying [00:24:01] opportunities. The potential for gram gold increases [00:24:04] especially as it pulls back towards 6000. Gold [00:24:08] will continue to remain active and shine, [00:24:11] but it is beneficial to expect the main [00:24:15] movement in 2027 and beyond. Parallel [00:24:18] to the increase in gold prices, the rise [00:24:21] in silver also reached [00:24:24] 5%. In the domestic market, the price [00:24:28] of gram silver tested 100 liras. [00:24:31] And the stock markets. While risk appetite was [00:24:34] cautious on the global front, the BIST 100 [00:24:38] index in Borsa Istanbul was dominated by [00:24:42] an upward trend above 13,800 points. [00:24:45] We may see a stronger Bank Holding [00:24:47] Rally starting [00:24:50] in September. Because the industry will have [00:24:53] as far as it can [00:24:57] with its balance sheets. Therefore, [00:24:59] a stock market theme moving towards 16,000, [00:25:03] primarily driven by banks [00:25:05] and holdings, seems to be awaiting us [00:25:09] in the autumn. [00:25:11] Now, dear viewers, we have news [00:25:15] that concerns those who want [00:25:17] to retire. Let's [00:25:20] continue with that. For those who have [00:25:23] reached retirement age but cannot [00:25:26] retire due to missing premium days, [00:25:30] the solution is service debt. Many periods, [00:25:33] from birth to military service, [00:25:37] can be credited, [00:25:44] and missing premiums can be completed [00:25:47] with lump [00:25:50] sum payments. So, who can benefit [00:25:53] from this right, and how does this [00:25:57] right affect the pension amount? [00:25:59] For insured persons who have reached [00:26:07] retirement age but have missing premium [00:26:10] days, service debt offers an important [00:26:13] opportunity. Those who complete their [00:26:16] missing premium days by paying [00:26:19] off their service debt can retire [00:26:22] earlier. Before taking [00:26:26] out service will have reached. [00:26:30] Cattle will have digital identities. [00:27:02] a methodology that increases supervisory power and enables our consumers [00:27:06] to access safe food, [00:27:09] thus beginning. Vaccination, disease [00:27:13] employees can take tracking, sales and slaughter [00:27:16] processes will be more safely and quickly monitored [00:27:19] with the system produced with domestic means. Food [00:27:23] safety and supply continuity are inseparable [00:27:26] parts of national security. For [00:27:29] this reason, every domestic solution developed in the field of agriculture [00:27:32] and animal husbandry is a very important investment [00:27:36] made in our production security, institutional capacity, [00:27:39] and the future of our country. [00:27:41] The secure electronic ear tag tracking system will also provide convenience [00:27:45] to producers. It was something we had been waiting for a long [00:27:48] time, we think it will be good, herd [00:27:51] management will be easier, hopefully we think it will be [00:27:54] good. [00:28:03] confessed to the betrayal, told about his 10-year fugitive status and how he hid. [00:28:07] The last suspect arrested from the assassination team, FETÖ member [00:28:10] Burkay Karatepe, shared important information about his [00:28:14] escape and how he hid in his statement. He stated [00:28:17] that he used fake identities and names, and contacted his family via [00:28:21] email. Intelligence units, gendarmerie, and police are trying [00:28:24] to decipher all connections related to the FETÖ terrorist's [00:28:28] escape. [00:28:33] He took off his uniform, and fled barefoot. [00:28:37] He used a fake ID named Tayfun and introduced himself as [00:28:41] Salih to those around him. [00:28:45] Terrorist Burkay Karatepe, who used the code name [00:28:48] Selim within FETÖ, recounted his 10-year escape one by one, [00:28:51] and made important confessions regarding how he hid. [00:28:55] We understood that the coup failed. Şükrü Seymen said that everyone [00:28:58] could do whatever they wanted here. After Şükrü Seymen's speech. [00:29:02] Ali Sarı Bey and I left the group here, we walked [00:29:06] in the field for two or three days, stopping from time to time. I had [00:29:10] a long boxer on me and a long cloth I found in the field. [00:29:13] There were no shoes on my feet. [00:29:17] The FETÖ terrorist, disguised as a tourist, stated that he first went to Muğla, and then [00:29:21] to Izmir by hitchhiking a pickup truck. During [00:29:25] this time, all other members of the betrayal team were [00:29:28] caught. He later stood trial. The fugitive FETÖ member [00:29:31] Karatepe, for whom a red notice was issued, fled [00:29:35] to Afyonkarahisar with the help of his relatives. He first hid in [00:29:39] a house secretly rented by his father, and then in another apartment [00:29:43] near the same place. After my father was released [00:29:46] from prison, he brought me an old type fake ID [00:29:50] issued in the name of Tayfun Gezveci. While I lived in these houses, [00:29:53] I introduced myself as Salih. I worked in scrap collection [00:29:57] I had also started working as a laborer [00:30:00] in construction jobs. The FETÖ [00:30:03] terrorist constantly changed his disguise to avoid being caught. [00:30:07] He used the identities and internet lines of foreign nationals. He created [00:30:10] a shared email to communicate with his family. He messaged [00:30:13] through the drafts folder without sending. It was determined that [00:30:17] terrorist Burkay Karatepe made a large number of sequential calls [00:30:20] from payphones during his escape. The General Directorate [00:30:24] of Security Intelligence Department teams were following him. [00:30:27] The circle tightened for the FETÖ terrorist. He was caught [00:30:30] thanks to MIT's face recognition system. [00:30:35] "Özcan Atlı recognized me when he saw me in these news, [00:30:39] I denied it at first, but then I had to admit it, [00:30:43] then I decided to rent the house he mentioned, [00:30:47] the police came to this house that same night and [00:30:50] caught me. The FETÖ terrorist gave contradictory [00:30:53] statements regarding the large amount of gold and money [00:30:57] found when he was caught. How terrorist Karatepe hid for 10 [00:31:00] irtibatta olduğu araştırılıyor. [00:31:09] During the July 15 coup attempt, terrorist Burkay Karatepe, who was [00:31:13] part of FETÖ's assassination team in Marmaris and was caught 10 [00:31:17] years later, is being made to conduct a reconnaissance. The FETÖ [00:31:21] terrorist will show the location of the weapons and ammunition he buried while [00:31:24] escaping. The site inspection is being carried out [00:31:27] under extensive security measures under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor. [00:31:31] The terrorist's sister was also [00:31:32] detained in a hotel room in Muğla. [00:31:36] He was in the assassination team targeting the President during [00:31:39] the July 15 coup attempt. After years and who he was [00:31:42] in contact with is being investigated. [00:31:45] the coup attempt was thwarted, he fled and covered his tracks. [00:31:48] He was caught red-handed [00:31:52] with MIT's face recognition system after a ten-year escape. [00:31:56] FETÖ terrorist Burkay Karatepe, who was arrested in Muğla, confessed [00:32:00] in his statement to his FETÖ connections and meeting with the [00:32:03] leader. He admitted that he worked under the code name Selim [00:32:06] and provided information about his workplace to the terrorist organization. [00:32:10] FETÖ terrorist Burkay Karatepe, who was caught in Afyonkarahisar [00:32:13] on August 1st, made important confessions in his 69-page [00:32:16] statement, one of which was about the weapons he buried while [00:32:20] fleeing. Before separating from the group, [00:32:24] I dug a pit 5-10 cm deep in the soil near the group's [00:32:28] location and buried my long-barreled weapon, pistol, assault [00:32:31] vest, and GPS device there, roughly camouflaging [00:32:35] it with soil and stones. I threw the composite [00:32:38] helmet randomly in this area. While leaving these, [00:32:41] I didn't mark the GPS device in any way. [00:33:15] searches are being conducted at the location he indicated, and three [00:33:18] tracking dogs also participated in the searches. Blood [00:33:21] and hair samples were taken from the terrorist for DNA [00:33:24] comparison and matching. [00:33:28] On the other hand, within the scope of the investigation, Burkay [00:33:32] Karatepe's sister, Ayşe Alanur Karatepe, was detained [00:33:36] in the hotel she was staying in in Menteşe district of Muğla. Digital [00:33:39] materials found in the hotel room where the terrorist's sister was staying [00:33:42] and her residence in Eskişehir were seized. [00:33:56] In raids organized in 30 provinces under the [00:33:59] coordination of the Gendarmerie General Command, 104 [00:34:01] suspects were caught. [00:34:06] The Gendarmerie Counter-Terrorism Department and Public Prosecutor's [00:34:10] Offices are not letting the DAESH terrorist organization [00:34:13] breathe. It [00:34:54] was stated that "we are continuing our operations against their activities and financial [00:34:57] structures with determination." [00:35:01] The investigation against the Ahbap association [00:35:04] also continues, dear viewers. The court [00:35:07] temporarily suspended the activities of the Ahbap association [00:35:11] and appointed a new management. With the decision, the association [00:35:17] building will also be sealed. The lawsuit for the dissolution [00:35:20] of the Ahbap association due to the investigation [00:35:24] against it is being heard [00:35:27] in the Istanbul 29th Civil Court of First Instance. In [00:35:30] its interim decision, the court decided to temporarily suspend [00:35:34] all activities of the Ahbap association until the lawsuit [00:35:37] is concluded and finalized. It appointed three people for the association's [00:35:41] management. With the decision, the association building will be sealed, [00:35:45] and physical activities will be prevented. Previously, appointments [00:35:49] had also been made for the economic enterprises [00:35:51] and companies [00:35:54] affiliated with the association. The investigation into [00:35:57] the donations made to the association continues. It is being [00:36:01] investigated whether the donations [00:36:03] had receipts and whether they [00:36:06] were used for purposes other than their intended [00:36:09] ones. 35 suspects, including Haluk Levent and [00:36:13] Oğuzhan Uğur, the founder of Babala [00:36:19] TV, are currently imprisoned. Interior Minister Mustafa [00:36:23] Çiftçi opened public buildings in Sinop and [00:36:25] delivered his [00:36:27] messages there. The Minister emphasized a strong Turkey and [00:36:31] gave a message of struggle against terrorism, [00:36:33] drugs, and organized [00:36:37] crime organizations. The Turkey Century is the name [00:36:40] of the ideal of a strong state where the state [00:36:44] reaches its citizens more quickly, security is established [00:36:47] more strongly, and public services become more accessible. He gave [00:36:51] a message of determination in the fight [00:36:54] against crime focuses. We are resolutely fighting [00:37:08] all kinds of crime focuses that aim to disturb [00:37:11] the peace of society, [00:37:13] smuggling, and our citizens. Minister Çiftçi [00:37:17] opened 6 public buildings in Sinop. At [00:37:20] the opening of investments worth 525 million liras, [00:37:24] he emphasized a strong Turkey. [00:37:27] It is a strong Turkey where our citizens find [00:37:30] their state by their side when they are in trouble, [00:37:34] easily access public services, [00:37:37] and walk peacefully [00:37:38] in its streets. [00:37:48] Turkey is under the influence of desert [00:37:51] heat, as a heat wave coming from Africa has [00:37:55] caused temperatures in many cities to rise above [00:37:58] seasonal norms, and with the increase in [00:38:01] humidity, the felt temperature [00:38:05] has risen even further. Desert heat, [00:38:09] which is effective in many parts of the country, adversely [00:38:12] affects life. In Adana, where thermometers showed [00:38:15] 35 degrees, high humidity [00:38:17] made citizens sweat. With the effect of 60% [00:38:21] humidity, the felt air temperature rose above 45 degrees. [00:38:25] Parks were silent during the hottest [00:38:29] hours. If we are under the sun, [00:38:32] it affects us more, but under trees and [00:38:35] by rivers are more preferred areas. Kahramanmaraş [00:38:38] is one of the cities affected [00:38:40] by the hot weather. We don't go out of our houses, [00:38:44] we stay in a burning environment. It's [00:38:48] very hot, we came to the park to cool down a bit. In [00:38:51] Mardin, the hot weather increased its effect. The [00:38:55] felt air temperature in the city reached 40 degrees. [00:38:59] I went out to go to the library, I wouldn't have gone [00:39:02] out if it wasn't mandatory. We take precautions by wearing [00:39:06] hats. The scorching heat in Midyat is especially [00:39:09] challenging for those working outdoors. Construction workers [00:39:12] continue to struggle for a living despite the difficult [00:39:16] working conditions under the sun. Of course, we are affected, [00:39:19] but earning a living is a must. The work is [00:39:22] already hard, and on [00:39:23] top of that, there is humidity [00:39:27] on top of the heat. I mean, it's difficult, but you [00:39:31] get used to it. Let's tell you what the weather will [00:39:34] be like this weekend, the air temperature will continue to [00:39:38] be around seasonal norms across the country this weekend, [00:39:41] thunderstorms will be effective [00:39:46] in the northern parts of the country, and wind is expected [00:39:49] in Izmir and Manisa. Temperatures will remain [00:39:52] at seasonal norms throughout the weekend. [00:39:55] Thunderstorms will be effective in some [00:39:59] areas. According to the forecasts of the General Directorate [00:40:03] of Meteorology, thunderstorms are expected in Trabzon, Rize, [00:40:06] Artvin, Çorum, and Amasya. [00:40:08] Wind will be effective in Manisa and Izmir. In some provinces [00:40:12] in the Southeastern Anatolia region, thermometers will [00:40:16] reach 41 degrees. On [00:40:19] Sunday, thunderstorms will be seen in the northern parts of the [00:40:22] Marmara and Black Sea [00:40:24] regions. Short-term local rainfall [00:40:27] is also expected in the Toros Mountains. And in the three [00:40:31] major cities. No rainfall is expected in Ankara [00:40:34] this weekend. The air temperature will rise to 33 degrees. The weather in Istanbul [00:40:38] is sunny, [00:40:42] but thunderstorms are expected on [00:40:46] Sunday. No rainfall in Izmir, the [00:40:49] weather will be windy throughout the weekend, and the temperature [00:40:52] will be around 37 degrees. As you know, not only in Turkey, [00:40:55] but also in Europe, we have been reporting [00:40:59] on drought and scorching heat for a while now. [00:41:02] Green areas in England [00:41:03] have turned yellow. In [00:41:07] Germany, farmers had to harvest their grain crops early. [00:41:11] Due to the heat, Italy [00:41:13] and Hungary are on alert, and Typhoon Dolfin is [00:41:17] effective in Japan. Parks and green areas [00:41:20] have turned yellow due to drought. London, the capital [00:41:24] of England, experienced one of its driest periods [00:41:27] in the last 190 years in July. Aerial [00:41:31] images revealed the change in many parts of the city. [00:41:34] Drought was declared in the city due to a long [00:41:38] period of no rainfall. [00:41:43] Drought is also prevalent in Bavaria, southeastern Germany. [00:41:47] Farmers had to harvest their grain crops early. [00:41:49] You see corn plants [00:41:54] directly affected by the drought, and you can clearly [00:41:57] see that there are no cobs at all. In Italy, where [00:42:01] temperatures exceeded 40 degrees, [00:43:10] a red alert was issued in 27 major cities simultaneously [00:43:14] for the first time. There are also some negative effects, [00:43:17] one of which is that when combined with high humidity, the burden [00:43:21] on the body increases even more. Many health problems [00:43:24] can be experienced, from water loss to insomnia, [00:43:26] from high blood pressure [00:43:31] to respiratory distress. So the question is: what should [00:43:34] be paid attention to in hot weather? Desert heat is [00:43:38] effective in Istanbul, and the [00:43:41] rising air temperature made daily life difficult. Hot weather [00:43:44] primarily increases body heat with the increase [00:43:46] in temperature. When [00:43:50] our body temperature rises, our metabolism and blood [00:43:54] circulation increase, and the body starts to lose [00:43:58] water and salt. Of course, there is also the humidity [00:44:01] aspect of the matter. Humidity increases the effect of hot [00:44:04] weather even more. In Istanbul, the humidity reached up [00:44:08] to 90% at night, making it almost impossible [00:44:12] to breathe. Humidity increases the pressure in the air. [00:44:15] Therefore, we feel as if the burden on us has increased, [00:44:19] that is, as if we are being crushed under [00:44:22] weight. When combined with this heat, it doubles [00:44:25] the heat and humidity effect of the heat. Our nose [00:44:29] dries, our skin dries, and both the heat and humidity can cause high [00:44:33] blood pressure, sweating, and increased pulse. [00:44:37] High humidity poses a greater risk especially [00:44:40] for those with chronic diseases. Due to the effect [00:44:44] of humidity, the increase in water vapor can cause [00:44:47] blockages in the respiratory tract, especially heavy [00:44:49] smokers, COPD patients, [00:44:53] and asthma patients are more affected by humidity [00:44:57] and moisture. So what should we pay attention [00:45:00] to in hot and humid weather to protect our health? [00:45:03] Look at what the experts warn [00:45:07] about. Not going out directly under the sun, [00:45:18] wearing light-colored clothes, consuming plenty [00:45:21] of fluids, preventing water and salt loss, [00:45:25] but the main thing is not to be outside during the hours when the sun [00:45:28] is directly overhead, if possible, [00:45:32] to be in the shade, if possible, to be in [00:45:36] places where there is a light breeze, is very important. [00:46:40] Health Minister Kemal Memişoğlu attended the 2026 University [00:46:44] Preference Support Program organized by Arnavutköy Municipality. [00:46:47] Minister Memişoğlu advised young people to develop [00:46:51] themselves. Health Minister [00:46:56] Kemal Memişoğlu met with young people at the [00:46:59] university preference support program held in Arnavutköy, [00:47:02] Istanbul. In Antalya's Kepez district, [00:47:06] students attending Judo training also take their [00:47:09] textbooks with them. Children study for an hour before [00:47:13] sports and then train. On the Judo mat, [00:47:16] some are studying, some are solving questions. At the [00:47:20] end of the study hour, training begins on the same [00:47:23] mat. A remarkable practice was implemented [00:47:25] in the Ministry of Youth [00:47:28] and Sports Summer Schools in Antalya. Young athletes, [00:47:31] acting with Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's thought, [00:47:34] "I love the intelligent, agile, and at the same [00:47:37] time ethical athlete," [00:47:39] start their training by studying first. [00:47:43] Some of our parents actually thought that sports [00:47:46] hindered school. To prevent this, such an [00:47:50] idea came to my mind. [00:47:54] Students are also happy with the application. It [00:47:57] is better and more fun for us. Before starting [00:48:01] training, we solve test books. Then we start [00:48:04] training. Students aim [00:48:09] for championships. I love doing this sport, [00:48:12] and when I come here, I feel peaceful. I [00:48:16] have achievements outside the province in Antalya, [00:48:20] arazisinden geçen köy yolunun üzerine. metrelerce [00:48:23] sometimes force those who want to build [00:48:26] a house to come [00:48:27] up with different [00:48:33] solutions. Muhammed Dilmaç, who lives in Rize, [00:48:36] is one of them. He built his house on [00:48:40] the village road that passes through [00:48:43] his land, using [00:48:47] columns meters high. Now we will bring [00:48:51] that house to your screens. The Eastern [00:48:55] Black Sea region is rugged, full [00:48:58] of steep slopes. So much so that [00:49:01] citizens often have difficulty [00:49:05] finding flat land even to build [00:49:08] a house. One of these examples occurred in Rize. [00:49:11] Muhammed Dilmaç, who [00:49:15] lives in Çayırı district, wanted [00:49:18] to build a house in his village, [00:49:22] but there was no suitable land. [00:49:26] Finally, he decided to build a house [00:49:29] on the village road that passes [00:49:33] through his own land. Of [00:49:36] course, the house had to be built [00:49:40] without blocking the road. Since [00:49:44] we didn't have such a large [00:49:46] plot of land to build a house, [00:49:49] we thought of something like this. [00:49:53] I started the foundations from [00:49:57] way down below. I continued upwards. [00:50:00] and I believe I can [00:50:02] achieve more beautiful things. [00:50:06] Dilmaç first erected concrete blocks [00:50:09] 8 meters high. Then he started [00:50:13] building the house on top of these [00:50:16] blocks. The result was a house that [00:50:20] made people look twice. The [00:50:24] top is 100 square meters in total, [00:50:27] the bottom is 80 square meters, [00:50:31] with a living room, [00:50:33] kitchen, toilet, [00:50:38] and bathroom downstairs, and a toilet [00:50:41] and bathroom upstairs. The house was built [00:50:45] so high that even concrete mixers [00:50:48] could easily pass underneath. The Dilmaç [00:50:56] family, who say they have a high [00:51:00] and airy house, are quite happy [00:51:03] with their house. They decided for [00:51:18] their children and built it, and [00:51:21] it turned out very well. [00:51:24] People who see it [00:51:25] like the house. [00:51:29] Guests come and take pictures. It [00:51:32] is a bit of a high house, [00:51:35] but we had [00:51:39] high because there is a [00:51:42] road underneath. Now, we will [00:51:44] report on a very important event [00:51:48] with a truly remarkable [00:51:50] collaboration. The [00:51:56] second Neşet Ertaş Culture and Music [00:52:00] Festival, organized in cooperation [00:52:03] with Kırşehir Governorship [00:53:22] and TRT, has started, dear viewers.
