[00:00:00] is being discussed, and on the one hand, contribute to regional stability. the Russia-Ukraine issue is [00:00:03] on the agenda. US President Trump had statements [00:00:06] that an energy ceasefire was reached. Both this statement [00:00:10] and its reflections are again among the topics discussed under the [00:00:13] Russia-Ukraine heading. As we said, the meeting's agenda [00:00:17] is quite busy. President Erdoğan will appear [00:00:20] before the cameras after the meeting and will announce [00:00:24] both the agenda and the decisions taken at the meeting. [00:00:35] with critical topics, and another critical topic is actually an important [00:00:38] threshold in the process of a Turkey without terrorism. The terrorist [00:00:42] organization PKK evacuated four shelters in the Baze region [00:00:46] of the Metina area in northern Iraq. Cansı Doğan will report [00:00:49] the details. Yes, Gülçin, an important development [00:00:53] has occurred. It is considered a new development in the process of strengthening [00:00:56] national solidarity and social integration. [00:01:00] In this context, the terrorist organization PKK evacuated [00:01:03] four shelters in the Baze region of the Metina area [00:01:07] in northern Iraq. According to information [00:01:09] obtained from security sources, it was stated that efforts [00:01:13] to evacuate the terrorist organization's shelters [00:01:16] are continuing. In this context, it was stated that the terrorist [00:01:19] organization PKK, KCK, evacuated four shelters in the Baze [00:01:23] region of the Metina area as of October 8. [00:01:27] This development is considered an important step for the [00:01:31] progress of the process. Security sources announced [00:01:35] that the aim is to end the terrorist organization's activities in all areas. [00:01:38] It was stated that the aim of the ongoing work [00:01:42] is to ensure peace, and with the success of the process, [00:01:45] to strengthen social unity and solidarity based on brotherhood, [00:01:49] and to reinforce the atmosphere of peace [00:01:51] throughout the country. It was also reiterated [00:01:55] that the steps taken in the process of strengthening national [00:01:58] solidarity and social integration will contribute to regional [00:02:02] stability. Let's remind again. [00:02:05] A new development occurred in the process of strengthening [00:02:08] national solidarity and social integration, and in this context, [00:02:12] the terrorist organization PKK evacuated [00:02:16] four shelters in the Baze region of the Metina area [00:02:19] in northern Iraq. [00:02:21] Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz [00:02:30] stated that interim payments could be made once [00:02:33] the proposal for the liquidation of funds becomes law this month. [00:02:36] He announced that the proposal would begin to be discussed [00:02:40] in parliament on Wednesday. He also noted that the number of investors [00:02:44] would fall below 100,000. Cevdet Yılmaz said, [00:02:47] "If there is an unlawful transaction, responsibilities will not disappear." [00:02:50] We are considering [00:02:53] that with the enactment of this law proposal [00:02:56] in October, interim payments, which we can also call [00:03:00] an advance, can be made, primarily for small investors [00:03:04] and money market funds. The number of investors [00:03:07] we are talking about here will fall below [00:03:10] 100,000. The law proposal [00:03:13] regarding the fund liquidation process is ready; now all eyes [00:03:16] are on parliament. The commission will discuss [00:03:20] the law on Wednesday, and then it will be debated [00:03:23] in the general assembly. [00:03:25] He also answered questions [00:03:30] and said that payments were made to 44 citizens and 17 funds [00:03:34] were delisted. He stated that they designed a system [00:03:38] to pay the principal. There are three sources we will use [00:03:41] when returning these funds. The first is the assets [00:03:45] remaining in this fund, [00:03:47] and the second is the refunds to be made to these accounts. [00:03:51] Thirdly, precautionary measures have been placed on the assets [00:03:54] of many responsible persons. No public funds will be involved. [00:03:57] He underlined that the board is continuing [00:04:01] its inspections with 15 inspectors. He said that with the new fund [00:04:04] guide, capital markets will be even stronger than before. [00:04:08] He said, "No one should cast a shadow over the markets." [00:04:12] Even if an unlawful action has not been committed due to excessive [00:04:16] income, if an unlawful action is in question, responsibilities [00:04:19] will certainly not disappear. If anyone commits a criminal [00:04:23] act, no matter who they are, even if they are [00:04:26] our closest, even if they are from our party, or in another [00:04:30] democracy, whoever it is, what is necessary will be done. [00:04:34] This is the understanding of the AK Party. Inflation was also on Yılmaz's [00:04:38] agenda. He signaled a regulation for city ticket prices. [00:04:41] Urban transportation is also an issue that pushes [00:04:44] headline inflation up; local governments [00:04:48] have a responsibility there. Some rules must be implemented [00:04:52] regarding transportation. He also made an assessment [00:04:55] regarding the process of a Turkey without terrorism. [00:04:58] Especially in some sensitive areas along [00:05:01] our border, some caves are being evacuated, [00:05:04] and the structures there are no longer [00:05:07] a threat. We see positive developments [00:05:10] on the ground. Two of the drivers [00:05:13] who were detained [00:05:14] in connection with the accident [00:05:23] in Akhisar district of Manisa, in which 11 people lost their lives, [00:05:27] were arrested by the court they were brought before. [00:05:30] An expert report on the accident was also released. [00:05:34] The report stated that the bus driver was primarily [00:05:37] at fault. Cehat Sönmez is waiting for us. What does the report say, [00:05:41] and how will the process proceed? [00:05:46] Yes, the accident happened yesterday, 11 people lost their lives. [00:05:50] Especially the Akhisar Chief Public Prosecutor's Office reacted [00:05:53] very quickly and three public prosecutors [00:05:56] were assigned. There were detentions regarding this issue. [00:06:00] The driver of the tow truck, the driver who was driving [00:06:03] the tow truck, the driver who was driving [00:06:06] the tour bus, and the spare driver were detained. In the afternoon, [00:06:10] after the procedures at the gendarmerie [00:06:12] they were transferred to the Akhisar Courthouse [00:06:16] and first the prosecutor's procedures and then their referral [00:06:19] to court were carried out. The prosecutor's [00:06:22] office had already requested the arrest of the two drivers [00:06:26] from the court. The court also made [00:06:29] its decision. Approximately half an hour ago, the court [00:06:33] concluded and both drivers were arrested and sent [00:06:37] to prison. An expert report was prepared. Just now I said [00:06:40] that the Akhisar Chief Public Prosecutor's Office reacted very quickly, [00:06:44] well, an expert was immediately appointed [00:06:47] and the main expert report regarding this accident [00:06:51] was prepared in terms of traffic elements. According to this report, [00:06:54] the bus driver was included in the report as primarily [00:06:58] at fault. The reason stated was the violation of general [00:07:02] conditions regulating going backward [00:07:05] and maneuvering as determined by regulations, and turning [00:07:08] backward outside of these conditions. In this expert report, [00:07:12] the driver of the tour bus was found to be primarily [00:07:15] at fault, and the driver of the tow truck [00:07:19] was found to be secondarily at fault on the grounds [00:07:23] of acting contrary to speed limits. [00:07:26] Both drivers' statements to both the gendarmerie [00:07:29] and the prosecutor's office were also along [00:07:33] these lines. For example, [00:07:36] in the statements of the tow truck driver, [00:07:40] there is a part where he stated that he was going fast. [00:07:44] This was an element mentioned by the prosecutor's [00:07:47] office in the referral to court. [00:07:50] Their statements to the gendarmerie were also reflected [00:07:54] in the press. We had also included these in our news [00:07:58] and broadcasts about an hour or two [00:08:00] ago. There were statements describing the moment of the incident. [00:08:04] The driver of the tour bus stated that he missed [00:08:07] the Akhisar Junction and when the passengers behind [00:08:11] him said that they missed the junction, [00:08:14] he stopped and went backward. [00:08:17] The tow truck driver stated in his statements [00:08:20] to the gendarmerie that he did not see [00:08:23] the bus and could not maneuver. [00:08:27] Lastly, let's underline this again: [00:08:30] 24 hours have passed. 11 people lost their lives [00:08:33] in the incident that happened yesterday. The judicial [00:08:37] process was also completed first. [00:08:40] Both drivers were arrested and sent to prison. [00:08:44] There was a third detention, [00:08:47] the spare driver, who was also the owner [00:08:50] of the bus, was released under judicial control by the prosecutor's office, [00:08:54] and the court process has also been completed [00:08:58] as of now. Of course, this incident also has a health [00:09:02] aspect. There are injured people whose treatment [00:09:05] continues in hospitals. Information is available [00:09:09] that 13 people are still receiving treatment as of now, [00:09:12] but those who have received treatment are being discharged [00:09:16] gradually. Let's provide this information as well. [00:09:20] An expert report was prepared and a responsible [00:09:23] expert [00:09:25] in traffic was appointed. The report was prepared quickly [00:09:29] and the court decision was made based on this report. [00:09:32] Two drivers were arrested. The spare driver [00:09:35] and the bus owner were released [00:09:37] under judicial control. This is the latest situation [00:09:41] at the Akhisar Courthouse in Akhisar. [00:09:44] These were the details [00:09:48] of the accident in Manisa where 11 people lost their lives. [00:09:51] Unfortunately, there is also an accident report from Antalya. [00:09:55] In Aksu district, 17 people were injured, one seriously, [00:09:58] when a passenger minibus overturned. The injured were taken [00:10:02] to hospitals in the area. The moment of the accident [00:10:05] was captured by a security camera of a workplace. Heavy rain [00:10:09] made the road slippery. The minibus, entering the main [00:10:12] road from the connecting road at high speed, suddenly [00:10:16] lost control, first hit the median strip, then crossed [00:10:19] into the opposite lane and overturned. The footage is from the Antalya-Isparta [00:10:23] highway. The minibus, carrying 23 passengers, was moving [00:10:27] in heavy rain. In Topallı neighborhood, the driver [00:10:30] lost control of the vehicle. At that time, it was raining, [00:10:33] of course, the ground was slippery. With the stones coming down, [00:10:37] it started to slide due to the slipperiness of the ground. [00:10:39] After sliding, it directly flipped over and went to the opposite [00:10:43] road. Of course, since we were here, we immediately ran to help. [00:10:47] One passenger was seriously injured, and 17 passengers [00:10:50] Shopkeepers in the area [00:10:54] rushed to help the injured. Brother, get out of here. [00:10:58] Health teams, who arrived at the scene upon the report, [00:11:01] provided first aid to the injured. Afterward, the injured were transported [00:11:04] to hospitals in the region. The Antalya-Isparta road [00:11:08] was closed to traffic for a while due to the accident. The passenger minibus, [00:11:12] which lost control of its steering, hit the median strip, [00:11:15] crossed into the opposite lane, and overturned, [00:11:18] was removed with the help of a crane and a tow truck. [00:11:21] Dear viewers, [00:11:24] all eyes [00:11:36] are again on diplomatic traffic. [00:11:40] Both US President Donald Trump and Ukraine have statements. [00:11:43] Will it return to the table? Will diplomacy be on the agenda [00:11:47] again? We will talk to Tuna Şanlı from Washington and immediately [00:11:51] after that, we will get notes from Uğur Keleş from Moscow. [00:11:54] Let's say Washington first, because there is an energy ceasefire [00:11:57] brought up by Tuna Trump. What does this mean and what kind [00:12:00] of move is expected for it? [00:12:03] Hello Gülçin from the White House. [00:12:08] While we were talking about the Iran war for months, [00:12:11] why did the war in Ukraine suddenly come to the forefront? [00:12:15] There is only one reason for this: global energy prices [00:12:19] and especially the increase in diesel prices. This is the reason [00:12:22] announced by the Trump administration. [00:12:25] Donald Trump said that an energy ceasefire would be implemented [00:12:29] between Russia and Ukraine, meaning that both countries [00:12:32] would not attack each other's energy infrastructure. [00:12:36] And according to an allegation in the Financial Times, [00:12:39] which has not yet been confirmed or denied by the Trump administration, [00:12:43] if Ukraine continues to attack Russia's energy pipelines, [00:12:46] the United States may suspend its arms supply to Ukraine. [00:12:49] This is the Financial Times' claim. Therefore, [00:12:52] the Trump administration blames Ukraine, criticizing [00:12:56] Ukraine's attacks on Russia's diesel pipelines [00:12:59] in particular, and states that Ukraine's [00:13:02] attacks on Russia have increased [00:13:06] global diesel prices. For this reason, [00:13:09] the Trump administration suddenly announced that an energy [00:13:13] ceasefire was reached between Russia and Ukraine, [00:13:16] and has been making statements on this issue for days, [00:13:20] because in the United States, the price of diesel [00:13:23] has risen to $6.5. And United States President [00:13:27] Donald Trump states that Ukraine is solely [00:13:31] responsible for the attacks on Russia. [00:13:33] He states that Ukraine is responsible. The Trump administration's [00:13:37] goal is to control global energy prices [00:13:41] by preventing these attacks that disrupt [00:13:44] global diesel supply. However, especially [00:13:47] Washington's step, even if it ignites a glimmer [00:13:50] of hope for diplomacy between the two countries, [00:13:54] Russia and Ukraine, we know that the two sides [00:13:58] still have very deep disagreements. Therefore, [00:14:01] the general belief in Washington is that it is [00:14:04] very difficult for the parties to come to the table, [00:14:08] that the disagreements are very big, and for this reason, [00:14:12] even if a ceasefire is achieved for a few days, [00:14:15] there is very little hope for ending [00:14:18] this war on energy infrastructure or reaching a larger [00:14:22] scale ceasefire. This is the prevailing [00:14:25] view in Washington. Gülçin. [00:14:28] Thank you, Tuna. [00:14:31] Even if an energy ceasefire is achieved, for lasting [00:14:34] peace, the leaders of the two countries need to sit at the table. [00:14:38] How will this happen? The Kyiv administration points to Turkey. [00:14:42] We will talk to Uğur Keleş. Uğur, Kyiv pointed [00:14:45] to President Erdoğan's mediation to meet with Putin. [00:14:48] How is this received there? At the same time, of course, [00:14:52] what are the expectations for a ceasefire there? [00:14:58] Yes, let me answer your first question first. Ukrainian [00:15:01] President Volodymyr Zelensky constantly states that he wants [00:15:04] to meet with Putin face to face, and that he is ready to meet. [00:15:08] In the latest official statements from Ukraine, they stated [00:15:11] that they are ready to meet with Putin through Trump [00:15:14] or President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. However, Russia's statements [00:15:18] on this matter have been made many times before. [00:15:21] If Zelensky wants to meet, let him come to Moscow, [00:15:25] the one who wants the meeting is him, we will meet with him [00:15:28] here, and we will guarantee his security. There were statements [00:15:32] in this direction, but there has been no response to this [00:15:35] latest statement, but I don't [00:15:37] think the answer will be different from this. Tuna explained [00:15:41] the issue quite well earlier. United States [00:15:43] President Trump mentioned an energy ceasefire, [00:15:46] saying that he had reached an agreement with Putin [00:15:50] on diesel, but these are not long-term solutions. [00:15:54] Experts on the subject state that the diesel Russia [00:15:57] will release to the market will not have a significant [00:16:01] impact on the market. As for negotiations, [00:16:04] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave the first [00:16:08] reaction yesterday, saying that we have no agreement [00:16:11] not to attack critical infrastructure. If someone has an agreement, [00:16:15] they should inform us. We are ready for this. [00:16:18] If Russia does the same, we will not attack energy infrastructure. [00:16:22] Today, statements came from the Kremlin. Kremlin [00:16:25] spokesman Dmitry Peskov touched upon the issue. [00:16:29] Primarily, he did not confirm Trump's claim regarding an [00:16:32] agreement between Ukraine and Russia not to attack [00:16:36] energy infrastructure. Negotiations continue. [00:16:39] He said he would share the details later. [00:16:42] He said Moscow's goal is not a short-term ceasefire, [00:16:46] but long-term peace. He thanked America for its efforts, [00:16:50] saying they appreciated them. But he said that there [00:16:53] is no such agreement at the moment, that negotiations are continuing, [00:16:56] and that they would share the details later. There was the issue [00:17:00] of elections, another issue regarding elections in Ukraine. [00:17:03] Peskov also said on this matter that if Ukraine decides to hold [00:17:07] elections, Russia is ready not to attack Ukraine [00:17:11] for one day, on election day. Zelensky had a proposal [00:17:14] for a 60-day ceasefire, saying that if there is a 60-day [00:17:17] ceasefire, they would go to elections and prepare. Peskov also [00:17:21] said on this matter that they want this 60 days [00:17:25] not to organize elections, but to heal their wounds, [00:17:28] regroup, gain strength, and continue the war. [00:17:32] He said that this would not be possible, that they are not [00:17:36] in favor of a short-term ceasefire, but want a long-term, [00:17:39] definitive peace. Another statement on this matter [00:17:42] came from Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. [00:17:46] Sergey Lavrov said today that Zelensky does not deserve [00:17:49] a breathing spell on the front, and that as Putin said, [00:17:53] our special military operation continues, we continue to advance. [00:17:57] Our goals have not changed. Moscow will achieve [00:18:00] these goals. To summarize, a green light is given for negotiations, [00:18:04] saying "we are ready," but neither Russia [00:18:07] nor Ukraine has given up [00:18:10] on their demands. Especially Russia, [00:18:14] with the attacks it has carried out recently and the increased [00:18:17] intensity of these attacks, does not want to take [00:18:21] a break in this process because it believes Ukraine [00:18:25] cannot withstand it. It wants to continue in this [00:18:29] way, and when Ukraine sits at the table, it wants [00:18:32] it to sit in a way that accepts Russia's demands. [00:18:35] This is what appears to be the case at the moment. [00:18:39] They say yes to negotiations, but currently neither [00:18:42] side has made any concessions [00:18:46] on their demands. On the one hand, there is the [00:18:50] Russia-Ukraine war and search for negotiations there. [00:18:53] On the other hand, the world is waiting for negotiations [00:18:56] between the US and Iran. While all these efforts [00:19:00] are underway, we are now talking about another front in the Middle [00:19:03] East. Dear viewers, the attacks of the Houthis [00:19:06] in Yemen on Saudi Arabia also continue. In the last attack [00:19:10] on King Khalid International Airport in the capital Riyadh, [00:19:13] one person was killed and 11 people were injured. [00:19:17] While five airports in Saudi Arabia were targeted more than [00:19:20] 10 times in the last week, [00:19:25] the Saudi Arabian and Iranian Foreign Ministers discussed [00:19:29] the tension in the region. The Houthis in Yemen continue [00:19:32] their attacks on Saudi Arabia. King Khalid International [00:19:36] Airport in the capital Riyadh was targeted once again. [00:19:38] One person was injured [00:19:42] in the attack. New footage also emerged regarding [00:19:46] the attack on October 10, which killed 13 people. [00:19:49] The panic that occurred after the explosion in the area [00:19:53] where Umrah pilgrims were located was captured [00:19:55] by cameras. [00:19:58] More than 10 attacks were carried out on five [00:20:01] airports in Saudi Arabia in the last week. [00:20:05] A total of 20 people lost their lives. The Saudi Arabian [00:20:08] General Authority of Civil Aviation suspended operations [00:20:12] at King Khalid International [00:20:13] Airport after the attack. [00:20:17] The Houthis also announced that they targeted two facilities [00:20:21] belonging to the Saudi state oil company Aramco. [00:20:24] The Saudi Arabian Ministry of Energy, on the other hand, [00:20:28] announced that they would continue to meet global energy supply [00:20:31] under all circumstances. The Saudi-led coalition [00:20:34] forces also carried out retaliatory attacks [00:20:37] on Houthi targets in Yemen. The Yemeni Army announced [00:20:40] that they neutralized more than 900 Houthi members [00:20:44] within the scope of the Yemen Healing Operation. [00:20:46] While the clashes continue, [00:20:50] the Saudi Arabian and Iranian Foreign Ministers discussed [00:20:53] the tension in the region. Iranian Foreign Minister [00:20:57] Abbas Aragchi said that Tehran is ready to provide all kinds [00:21:00] of assistance for the resolution of the crisis. [00:21:03] The Houthis in Yemen [00:21:06] have held control of the capital Sana'a and some [00:21:10] regions since September 2014. The Saudi-led coalition [00:21:13] forces, on the other hand, have been supporting [00:21:16] the Yemeni Government against the Houthis [00:21:20] since March 2015. What do these developments [00:21:22] mean? [00:21:26] How will they affect the security balance [00:21:30] in the region from now on? We will discuss the details. [00:21:33] Welcome to Oytun Orhan, ORSAM Levant Studies Coordinator. [00:21:37] Thank you for having me. We have presented the latest [00:21:40] picture, but let's talk about how we got to this point, [00:21:44] going back a bit. Are we talking about a relatively four-year [00:21:47] ceasefire there? There are attacks that are intensifying again, [00:21:50] even if they are broken. What do the Houthis want? [00:21:53] intensified again? Where is this going? [00:21:57] Well, of course, this has a dimension related to Yemen's internal dynamics, [00:22:00] and on the other hand, it is directly related [00:22:04] to the developments in the region. Especially [00:22:07] the war between the US and Iran, and we know that the Houthis [00:22:11] are an organization supported by Iran. [00:22:14] Therefore, it is an organization that Iran uses in the context [00:22:17] of its regional goals, but it is not completely [00:22:21] under Iran's control, like Hezbollah or other proxy forces [00:22:24] in the region. But when you look at it, [00:22:28] we are talking about a structure that is directly affected [00:22:32] by the developments in the region, [00:22:34] in Yemen. Why did the conflict [00:22:37] in Yemen, the conflict between Saudi Arabia [00:22:40] and the Houthis, flare up again? [00:22:43] I think the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran [00:22:47] is a very serious factor here. [00:22:51] That is, where will that war, [00:22:54] the Iran war, lead? And in the US, [00:22:58] during an election process, at a point where discussions [00:23:01] are ongoing about whether an agreement will be reached [00:23:04] with Iran before the elections or not, [00:23:08] the tension in Yemen, caused by the Houthis, [00:23:11] suddenly started to escalate again. [00:23:14] This, on the one hand, is in line with the Houthis' [00:23:18] expectations for Yemen. [00:23:20] What do they want? Broader territorial [00:23:24] control, control of strategic areas. The Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, [00:23:28] which has gained more importance with Iran's control of the Strait [00:23:31] of Hormuz in particular, is a region of critical [00:23:34] importance for global trade and energy supply security. [00:23:38] Control of this region is also an important [00:23:41] advantage, a trump card, for the Houthis. [00:23:44] They want to control this. But looked at [00:23:47] in a more regional sense, Iran also seems to want [00:23:51] to strengthen its position in negotiations with America [00:23:54] before the elections in America through the support [00:23:58] it gives to the Houthis. We can say that Iran [00:24:02] also seems to support this new action [00:24:05] of the Houthis there. [00:24:08] Therefore, we can say that we are facing a Yemeni civil war [00:24:12] that is directly affected by both [00:24:15] the internal dynamics of Yemen and the US-Iran [00:24:18] rivalry in the region, the Iran-Israel rivalry. [00:24:21] It appears that the Iranian influence is definitely [00:24:24] there, but the Houthis also have their own strategic [00:24:28] goals and local demands in the region, in Yemen. [00:24:31] So perhaps I will ask how effective Iran can be [00:24:34] in bringing this to peace, but first, now, airports, [00:24:38] belki hani İran ne kadar etkili olabilir bu işin sulhe doğru [00:24:41] gitmesinde diye soracağım ama önce şu, şimdi havalimanları, [00:24:45] energy infrastructures are being targeted. This also means something else, [00:24:49] actually. When we compare [00:24:52] the power of the Houthi in Saudi Arabia, is it more about disrupting [00:24:54] Saudi Arabia's security perception [00:24:58] or its credibility, rather than a military [00:25:01] conflict? What is the exact aim, because [00:25:05] ultimately, whether they will reach their desired military targets [00:25:08] is clear, clear, but let's say, of course, comparing [00:25:11] Saudi Arabia's military capacity with that of the Houthis, [00:25:15] a non-state actor in Yemen, is not very accurate. [00:25:18] Saudi Arabia is one of the countries [00:25:21] with the highest defense spending in the world. [00:25:24] It has air defense systems based on American [00:25:28] systems, air forces. [00:25:32] In this sense, Saudi Arabia truly has an effective force, [00:25:36] but it is not a proven force on the ground. When you look at the Houthis [00:25:39] in Yemen, you say they are a non-state actor, [00:25:43] but despite all their weaknesses, [00:25:47] technological deficiencies, [00:25:50] economic weaknesses, [00:25:53] they are an organization that has managed to create [00:25:56] a balance against Saudi Arabia's broader [00:26:00] power. We can talk about them. They receive support [00:26:03] from Iran. As you know, Iran [00:26:07] has created a balance of power [00:26:10] in the region [00:26:14] means, such as unmanned ground [00:26:17] vehicles, unmanned [00:26:20] aerial vehicles, armed drones. [00:26:23] The support it provides has caused [00:26:26] the Houthis to develop [00:26:30] capacity. When you look at the Houthis, yes, [00:26:33] they are a non-state actor, but we are talking [00:26:37] about an organization that has managed to carry out [00:26:40] missile attacks, ballistic missile attacks, [00:26:42] and armed drone attacks with a range of up to [00:26:46] 2,000 kilometers against Israel and Tel Aviv. [00:26:49] And in recent times, it has been able [00:26:52] to carry out attacks on Saudi Arabian [00:26:55] airports, bypassing all of Saudi [00:26:58] Arabia's American [00:27:01] technology-based defense [00:27:02] systems, [00:27:07] giving the message that "nothing is safe now." [00:27:10] We are talking about such an organization. This is a reality [00:27:14] of Yemen, but on the other hand, of course, [00:27:17] there is a legitimate Yemeni government [00:27:20] against the Houthis. We can talk about [00:27:23] a Yemen divided into two within [00:27:26] itself. Therefore, it is possible to evaluate [00:27:30] the struggle and conflict in Yemen as a power projection [00:27:34] within the context of both Yemen's internal dynamics [00:27:37] and the struggle between Israel and Iran, the competition [00:27:40] between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and if you look [00:27:43] at the outer perimeter, the China-America [00:27:46] struggle. However, it seems [00:27:50] that it is not very possible to completely exclude [00:27:53] the Houthis from the Yemen equation or ignore them. [00:27:57] The Houthis, yes, perhaps control [00:28:01] a narrower geographical area in Yemen, but when you look [00:28:04] at it, they control approximately [00:28:08] 70-80% of the Yemeni population, [00:28:11] and we see that the Houthis are effective in the region. [00:28:15] With the support they receive from Iran, they have developed [00:28:18] a significant military capacity, and it is possible [00:28:22] to talk about a really strong Houthi presence [00:28:25] on the ground in a de facto sense. However, [00:28:29] whether the Houthis are right or wrong, whether they are a terrorist [00:28:32] organization or not, these are different discussions, but [00:28:36] the Houthis are a reality on the ground in Yemen. It [00:28:39] seems that we are also seeing the region enter [00:28:43] a new period in the civil war in Yemen. Of course, it's hard to predict, [00:28:47] but if we look at the next period, [00:28:50] what could be the strongest scenario? Will mutual [00:28:53] retaliations continue, or will we talk about another military [00:28:56] operation with a stronger response from Saudi Arabia? [00:28:59] Will there be a regional domino effect? What do you [00:29:03] think is the strongest scenario? Now, of course, [00:29:06] Saudi Arabia is a regional actor, and it has [00:29:10] America's support. It has a very strong army [00:29:13] in terms of numbers and technology. [00:29:16] When I say strong, it's not an army proven [00:29:19] on the ground, but we are talking about a Saudi [00:29:22] Arabian army that is strong in terms of [00:29:25] numbers and technology. However, it must also be stated [00:29:28] that it has not achieved results in Yemen for almost [00:29:32] 10 years. Of course, we can say that Saudi Arabia [00:29:36] needs external support at this point. America, [00:29:39] in Trump's latest statement, said, "We can support [00:29:42] Saudi Arabia, we can intervene in the events." America's [00:29:46] support would be a move that changes the balance [00:29:49] on one hand. If America gets involved, how will [00:29:53] America's involvement be? I mean, in the past, [00:29:56] it was involved with air strikes, [00:29:59] but to achieve results in Yemen, [00:30:02] only air strikes are not enough. Saudi Arabia's [00:30:05] ground forces have been a bit [00:30:09] weak in achieving results here. Saudi Arabia [00:30:12] needs to be supported with ground forces, [00:30:15] and America will definitely not get into such [00:30:18] an adventure right now, but it's already in another [00:30:22] adventure, it can't get out of there, yes, as we said, [00:30:25] it's in another adventure, and the Trump administration [00:30:29] doesn't want to provoke it too much before the election. [00:30:32] If we get into such an adventure, it knows that things could [00:30:36] get a bit hotter there. Therefore, America is currently [00:30:39] staying a bit more in the background in terms of directly [00:30:43] intervening in this issue. It seems [00:30:46] that in the struggle between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, [00:30:50] the balance at this stage seems to be [00:30:53] a bit in favor of Yemen, of the Houthis. [00:30:57] Here, we can perhaps talk about [00:31:01] a problem whose solution is not [00:31:04] possible in the short term. It is also directly [00:31:08] affected by regional developments. We can say [00:31:11] that where the US-Iran war and the competition [00:31:15] between Iran and Israel will lead will have a very [00:31:18] direct impact on the Yemen issue. It is a Middle [00:31:22] East equation with many unknowns. Oytun Orhan, [00:31:24] thank you very much for your valuable contributions. [00:31:33] Action has been taken for the owners of the building [00:31:36] that collapsed in Maltepe and killed five people, dear [00:31:40] viewers. The Istanbul Governorate announced that approximately [00:31:43] 9 million liras of support will be provided for urgent [00:31:47] needs. Three alternatives were offered to citizens [00:31:50] for permanent housing. We have put forward [00:31:53] several alternatives for permanent settlement. [00:31:57] Istanbul Governor Davut Gül and Deputy Minister of Environment, [00:32:00] Urbanization and Climate Change Ömer Bulut met with the owners [00:32:04] of the collapsed building in Maltepe and the surrounding [00:32:07] apartments. Measures and projects for the victims were discussed. [00:32:10] As of today, [00:32:13] approximately 9 million [00:32:16] Turkish liras will be transferred by AFAD and our governorate [00:32:19] for the urgent needs of our fellow citizens [00:32:22] in the collapsed building. Five apartments [00:32:26] around the collapsed building were also evacuated [00:32:29] as a precautionary measure. Three different alternatives [00:32:33] were offered to the victimized citizens to acquire permanent [00:32:36] housing. The first option is the "Half from Us" campaign. [00:32:40] We have a "Half from Us" project [00:32:42] ongoing in Istanbul. [00:32:45] With a support of 1,875,000 liras, citizens [00:32:48] have the opportunity to do this work with contractors [00:32:52] they find themselves. Another option is for the houses [00:32:55] to be rebuilt by the ministry. As the Ministry of Environment [00:32:59] and Urbanization, just like the transformation projects [00:33:02] we carried out in every district of Istanbul, in Kartal [00:33:05] where the building collapsed before, in Kağıthane, [00:33:09] in different neighborhoods of Kartal, and in Güngören, [00:33:13] we will implement this [00:33:15] project very quickly, and they will also have [00:33:19] this project implemented by the state within a year. [00:33:23] The third alternative was ready-made houses [00:33:26] remaining from previous urban transformation projects [00:33:30] in Maltepesanat. With the alternatives offered, it is [00:33:33] aimed to initiate the permanent housing process for the owners [00:33:36] of the collapsed building [00:33:41] in a short time. Now we will bring three [00:33:44] separate images to your screens. Actually, our main [00:33:47] title is mountains. Our first image is on your screens, [00:33:51] from Esenyurt, Istanbul. A car enters a shop [00:33:54] and is captured by cameras moment [00:33:57] by moment. Those sitting in the cafe narrowly [00:34:01] escape the accident. We said it was from Esenyurt, Istanbul. [00:34:04] The parked car that the car hit, dear viewers, [00:34:08] broke the window of the pastry shop and went inside, [00:34:12] making a mess. A customer was at the table that [00:34:15] the car hit a short while ago. Another customer [00:34:18] at another table also [00:34:21] narrowly escaped the accident. No one was injured. [00:34:24] Another image of ours came from Arnavutköy. [00:34:28] The minibus driver allegedly got out to check a sound [00:34:31] after starting his vehicle. The vehicle, whose brakes [00:34:35] failed, crossed the street and entered the garden [00:34:38] of a two-story house. Fortunately, no one [00:34:40] was injured. Damage occurred [00:34:43] to the house and the car and trailer in the garden. [00:34:46] Another image of ours was recorded on the Northern [00:34:50] Marmara Highway. One of the vehicles in the wedding [00:34:54] convoy entered the emergency lane. The driver then [00:34:57] quickly moved to the leftmost lane to avoid missing the exit, and an accident [00:35:01] became inevitable. The vehicle [00:35:06] collided with the car in the left lane. Those moments [00:35:10] were captured by another vehicle's camera. [00:35:13] Two people stranded on a raft in the Botan Stream in Siirt [00:35:17] were rescued by teams. 7 people were detained [00:35:20] in connection with the stone attack on the bus carrying [00:35:24] Osmaniyespor fans in Mersin. [00:35:27] 15,000 drug pills were seized in a passenger bus in Şanlıurfa. [00:35:31] Here is our news tour compiled from around the country [00:35:34] coming to your screens. In Siirt, the 112 emergency [00:35:38] call center was informed that an abandoned vehicle [00:35:42] was found by the Botan Stream. Upon receiving a report [00:35:45] that two people in the vehicle [00:35:46] could not be reached, [00:35:52] AFAD, UMKE, gendarmerie, and fire department teams [00:35:56] were dispatched to the region. Two people stranded in the middle [00:35:59] of the stream on a raft they made with their own [00:36:03] means were rescued in an exhausted state. After the New Mersin [00:36:06] İdman Yurdu vs. Osmaniyespor match, a stone attack [00:36:09] was carried out on a bus [00:36:15] carrying fans near a resting facility in Mersin. The bus [00:36:18] windows were broken. As a result of the efforts [00:36:21] of the Mersin Provincial Gendarmerie Command teams, [00:36:25] 7 suspects determined [00:36:27] to be connected to the attack were detained. [00:36:29] In Bahçesaray district [00:36:33] of Van, it was decided to refer a person injured [00:36:37] by falling from a height to Van Training and Research [00:36:41] Hospital for further examination and treatment. An ambulance [00:36:43] helicopter was requested [00:36:47] by contacting the Provincial Health Directorate. The injured [00:36:50] person was transferred to Van by helicopter ambulance. [00:36:54] In Karaköprü district of Şanlıurfa, 15,000 drug pills hidden inside [00:36:58] a bag in the luggage [00:37:02] compartment were seized during a search of a passenger [00:37:05] bus. One person who was detained was arrested. [00:37:08] Nuri Tuğan Temur, who is engaged in beekeeping [00:37:12] in Elazığ, was attacked by bees. Tuğan Temur [00:37:15] was taken to the hospital for treatment. Those moments [00:37:19] were captured by a security camera. In Manisa, a person [00:37:22] stung by a bee lost his life. [00:37:26] He was attacked by bees, lost consciousness. The moments [00:37:29] he tried to escape were captured on camera. Nuri [00:37:33] Tohan Temur, who is engaged in beekeeping in Baskil [00:37:35] district of Elazığ, went to the hives to give [00:37:39] syrup and cake to his bees. However, as he opened [00:37:43] the lids, he was attacked by bees. Although Toğan [00:37:46] Temur tried to escape from the bees, he was [00:37:50] unsuccessful. The beekeeper, whose body was stung [00:37:52] by bees, lost consciousness. [00:38:01] "They attacked my feet, my legs. I sat at the bottom, [00:38:05] I saw it wasn't working, I started to run, [00:38:09] they attacked me even more. When I came to the hospital, [00:38:12] I was unconscious, my eyes went dark, I couldn't [00:38:15] see anything." Nuri Toğan Temur, who was taken to [00:38:18] Inönü University Turgut Özal Medical Center, [00:38:22] was discharged after his treatment was completed. [00:38:25] In Manisa, Hulisi Kozu, who was picking olives [00:38:28] in the garden, was stung by a bee. Koz, who lost [00:38:32] consciousness and was taken to the hospital, could not [00:38:35] be saved despite all [00:38:38] interventions. Now we will go beyond [00:38:42] our borders. We will bring hot topics from three [00:38:45] different points to your screens. This time, [00:38:49] we can actually title it "The Destructive Effect [00:38:52] of Adverse Weather Conditions." Our first image is on your screens. You see giant [00:38:56] waves. The effect of Rachel Storm in California, [00:38:59] United States, [00:39:02] is these images, dear viewers. Giant waves [00:39:06] formed in Long Beach. Rising waves damaged [00:39:09] dozens of houses. Docks collapsed, and the [00:39:13] destruction was captured by cameras moment by moment. [00:39:17] Officials had warned about dangerous waves [00:39:19] and possible coastal floods. [00:39:23] Again from the United States, the hurricane's [00:39:26] strong winds blew off the roof of a house [00:39:30] like this. The images [00:39:31] are from Florida, United [00:39:40] States. 4 people lost their lives due [00:39:44] to Hurricane ISSS, which reached the land. [00:39:47] Approximately 670,000 households were left without [00:39:50] electricity. The destruction caused by the hurricane [00:39:54] was viewed from the air like this. [00:39:58] We are in Nepal now. The images of the river [00:40:01] overflowing after the [00:40:05] landslide are on your screens, dear viewers. [00:40:09] The bridge over the river collapses like this, [00:40:13] unable to withstand the flood. We said the address of the [00:40:16] image is Nepal. The Budigandi River in northern [00:40:19] Nepal overflowed. This was the bridge that provided [00:40:23] passage between two districts, and it was damaged. [00:40:27] The moments when the bridge was swept away by the flood [00:40:30] were recorded with a mobile phone camera. While surrounding [00:40:33] residential areas were damaged, those living in villages [00:40:36] were evacuated. Dear viewers, in Istanbul, [00:40:40] narrow streets, heavy traffic, and illegal [00:40:43] parking make it difficult for ambulance teams to reach [00:40:47] cases. While 379 emergency aid stations [00:40:50] and 6 mobile teams are on duty across the city, [00:40:54] thousands of emergency cases are intervened daily. [00:40:57] In rural areas, when transportation becomes [00:41:01] difficult, a helicopter ambulance is deployed. [00:41:04] In Istanbul, ambulances respond to thousands [00:41:08] of emergency cases every day. However, narrow [00:41:11] streets, heavy traffic, and improper parking [00:41:14] make it difficult for teams to advance. Difficult [00:41:18] moments are experienced in cases where time [00:41:21] is of the essence. Narrow streets, traffic congestion, [00:41:25] and improper parking affect us. We experience [00:41:27] this problem most in the Fatih and Beyoğlu [00:41:31] districts across Istanbul. In some neighborhoods, [00:41:34] the time to reach a case remains above average. [00:41:38] Sultanahmet, Nişanca, and Tahtakale in Fatih, [00:41:41] and Kulaksız and Kılıç Ali Paşa in Beyoğlu are among these neighborhoods. [00:54:15] leaving no room for doubt, quickly and indeed, if I may say so, [00:54:18] in plain terms, tick-tock, the process [00:54:21] is working. A few terms [00:54:25] later, God willing, we will [00:54:28] not even discuss whether there was terrorism in [00:54:31] Turkey again. We will leave this whole issue [00:54:35] to memories, to political [00:54:38] recollections and political history. [00:54:42] Therefore, I would like to state that significant progress [00:54:45] has been made in this process. How did we get here? First of [00:54:49] all, let me say this: May God [00:54:51] bless them all. The result achieved in the fight [00:54:55] against terrorism with such strength, thanks [00:54:58] to the great struggle of our martyrs and veterans, [00:55:02] the terrorist organization was indeed significantly [00:55:05] brought under pressure. Afterwards, you saw the statements [00:55:09] made from İmralı. Specifically, two [00:55:12] things were said there in the statements made two consecutive [00:55:15] years. Firstly, a statement [00:55:18] that the organization no longer had the means to engage in armed [00:55:21] struggle. Secondly, statements were made [00:55:25] that the founding ideology of the organization [00:55:28] was no longer [00:55:31] valid, meaning that rational socialism was no [00:55:34] longer temporary. Subsequently, politics also seriously [00:55:38] embraced this issue. Under the leadership of our President, [00:55:41] with the support of Mr. Devlet Bahçeli, who truly paved [00:55:45] the way for the process at the most strategic [00:55:48] points, and with the support of the leaders [00:55:51] and executives of all political parties, this work [00:55:55] has come this far. Dear friends, dear [00:55:58] people of Antep. For this process to be successful, [00:56:01] as I stated at the university meeting [00:56:05] and want to reiterate here, three fundamental [00:56:09] issues need to be resolved simultaneously. [00:56:12] One of them, as I mentioned, [00:56:15] is ensuring the complete disarmament [00:56:18] of the organization. This news is important in this regard. Secondly, [00:56:22] along with this, taking the necessary steps [00:56:26] for the rule of law and the development of democratic [00:56:29] standards in Turkey. Thirdly, [00:56:32] ensuring that all citizens of the Republic [00:56:36] of Turkey, especially the people of the region, [00:56:39] benefit positively from the results of a [00:56:42] terror-free region and a terror-free Turkey [00:56:46] within the comfort that this peaceful environment [00:56:49] will bring. In other words, it must be demonstrated [00:56:53] once again how great opportunities this process [00:56:57] will provide to the nation, along with [00:57:00] its economic benefits, primarily the peaceful [00:57:03] environment. Dear friends, [00:57:06] Turkey spent half [00:57:09] of its first century dealing with terrorism. [00:57:11] For approximately 50 years, Turkey paid [00:57:15] a very heavy price. [00:57:18] In 2014, I continued these [00:57:21] studies with my university colleagues. At that time, it was calculated [00:57:25] to be 1.3 trillion dollars. Today, [00:57:29] with the most modest calculations, [00:57:32] we know that this figure is over 2 trillion [00:57:36] dollars. Turkey both lost [00:57:40] its people, martyring thousands of young [00:57:43] children. And Turkey had to bear [00:57:46] a very large material cost. [00:57:50] Dear friends, during this 50-year [00:57:53] period, [00:57:56] we know very well who supplied weapons to this [00:57:59] terrorist organization and other terrorist [00:58:02] organizations, why they supplied them, and [00:58:06] for what purpose they provided political, intelligence, [00:58:09] and military support. [00:58:11] Let me be clear, not because they loved [00:58:15] some of our ethnic elements very much, [00:58:19] but in order for all the people in Turkey, including [00:58:22] those in the region, to be restless and [00:58:25] live in an insecure environment, they gave weapons to terrorist [00:58:29] organizations. Now, [00:58:31] reason requires taking a stronger step [00:58:35] than the thought, word, and project of [00:58:38] imperialists. If they want to divide, we want [00:58:41] to integrate, unite, and bring together. They [00:58:45] do these things to scatter and break apart. [00:58:48] We also want to bring our scattered pieces together. [00:58:52] This is the main idea of the terror-free Turkey [00:58:56] issue and the terror-free region issue. [00:58:59] A century ago, as I stated again this morning, [00:59:02] the people of this region, from here to Yemen, [00:59:05] were fragmented into pieces. They were divided [00:59:09] by ethnic conflicts. The Balkans were divided, [00:59:12] the Middle East was divided. The Gulf was divided, Yemen [00:59:15] was shattered. The lands of the Ottoman Empire [00:59:19] were ravaged, believe me, within a period [00:59:23] of 20-25 years. What business [00:59:25] did the French have in Antep? [00:59:27] If they had the power, Antep would not [00:59:31] be ours [00:59:32] today. [00:59:45] in the goal of a terror-free Turkey. Dear viewers, security [00:59:49] sources reported that the terrorist organization PKK has evacuated [00:59:52] four shelter areas in northern Iraq. The areas reported [00:59:55] to have been evacuated as of October 8 are located [00:59:59] in the Baze region [00:59:59] of Metina. [01:00:04] The calendar is moving forward in the process of strengthening [01:00:07] national solidarity and social integration. A new step [01:00:11] has been taken towards the goal of a terror-free [01:00:13] Turkey. According to information obtained from security sources, [01:00:17] the terrorist organization PKK has evacuated four shelter areas [01:00:20] in northern Iraq. The shelter areas evacuated as of October 8 are located [01:00:24] in the Baze region of Metina. [01:00:27] Security sources stated that this development is an indication [01:00:30] that the process is continuing with determination. They reported [01:00:33] that the aim is to end the activities of the terrorist [01:00:37] organization in all areas. They noted that the ongoing [01:00:40] efforts are aimed at establishing [01:00:43] peace. With the success of the process, social unity [01:00:46] and solidarity based on brotherhood are targeted. [01:00:49] The aim is to reinforce the atmosphere of peace throughout [01:00:53] the country. The steps taken
