[00:00:00] and other military activity are damaging homes, agricultural land and
[00:00:04] civilian infrastructure. Many families are returning to
[00:00:07] severely damaged homes, limited access to essential
[00:00:10] services, economic hardship, and the threat posed by
[00:00:14] unexploded ordinance.
[00:00:18] a Priancavani has more on this from the Lebanese Capital
[00:00:20] Beirot. Well, absolutely, this is not
[00:00:24] what one wants to see happening on the ground when the
[00:00:27] diplomats in Rome are trying. to
[00:00:31] of further this peace accord that was struck on June the 26th,
[00:00:35] this framework between the US, Israel and
[00:00:38] Lebanon. These were very intense strikes, and it comes off of a
[00:00:42] week that things were already escalating in southern
[00:00:45] Lebanon.
[00:00:46] of In fact, one
[00:00:47] of the things that we saw Israel do in southern Lebanon today
[00:00:51] was issue this so-called evacuation order, which
[00:00:54] here in Lebanon is called a displacement order,
[00:00:58] calling on people to... leave in area, these might sound
[00:01:02] familiar, because nearly every day during the full-blown war,
[00:01:06] whether we're talking
[00:01:07] of about back in the fall of 2024, or even months ago, in the
[00:01:11] spring of 2026, we saw these nearly every
[00:01:15] single day, and many Lebanese call them an element of
[00:01:18] psychological terror. We saw this order issued in the
[00:01:22] Lebanese Southern town of Monsuri today with Lebanese media
[00:01:25] reporting that at least 15 families had to flee
[00:01:29] that... syria and these are families that of
[00:01:32] a course uh most
[00:01:32] of them have had to flee time and time
[00:01:36] again, so it's that element of, as I say, what many Lebaneses call
[00:01:40] psychological terror, the issuing
[00:01:42] of these evacuation orders, if you will, but then
[00:01:45] also the strikes themselves uh, which Israel says is in
[00:01:49] response to Hazbollah violations of this uh
[00:01:53] ceasefire agreement, but these strikes killing at
[00:01:57] least one person reportedly
[00:01:58] in a prayer
[00:01:59] of hall, and then uh injuring dozen others, so here on the
[00:02:03] ground there is no sign uh of any sort of ceasefire, we know that
[00:02:07] that
[00:02:08] of is the number one thing that the Lebanese delegation
[00:02:10] of asked for in Rome, the thing that they have been asking for time and
[00:02:14] time again, a complete cessation of hostilities,
[00:02:18] but obviously the signs on the ground here are that the
[00:02:21] Israelis uh, be they the Israeli military or the Israeli
[00:02:25] delegation in Rome have no intention of
[00:02:29] ceasing. fire our top diplomats from across the middle
[00:02:33] east and beyond have met in Jordan to discuss the
[00:02:36] situation in occupied East Jerusalem and efforts to end
[00:02:40] Israel's war on Gaza. Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fedan was
[00:02:44] there and said Israel has no genuine commitment to
[00:02:47] peace. Israel the whole world can now
[00:02:50] see this. Israel has no intention or plan to achieve peace. it is only
[00:02:54] using every platform to advance its own position and its illegal
[00:02:58] strategies. in this context, have seen Hamas fulfill many of its
[00:03:01] obligation under the Gaza Peace plan. Israel, on the other hand,
[00:03:05] has consistently acted as a spoiler. the international community,
[00:03:08] particularly the United States, given that this is the Trump peace plan, has
[00:03:12] invested significant effort in this
[00:03:14] of process. yet, every
[00:03:15] of time progress has been made, Israel has found another excuse, continued killing
[00:03:19] Palestinian children, bombing hospitals and demonstrating that it has no
[00:03:23] genuine commitment to peace. at least eight people have
[00:03:27] been injured in the
[00:03:28] a occupied west bank where these Israeli army sent reinforcements into
[00:03:32] the calandia refugee camp, that's according to the red creson. local
[00:03:36] media have been reporting the Israeli army had distributed leaflets
[00:03:40] saying a large scale operation was being carried out in the camp.
[00:03:44] Israeli forces have also
[00:03:45] of conducted raids in the town of north of occupied east
[00:03:49] Jerusalem. muhammad elwan has more from
[00:03:52] colondia. the most important thing is happening
[00:03:55] today is uh
[00:03:57] the the effect uh this assault is leave
[00:04:00] of at the residence because anyone was arrested or any house was
[00:04:04] st, they were beaten in front
[00:04:06] of their families, even the children, they saw all of what happened today,
[00:04:10] their houses were destroyed and uh their father or loved ones, they
[00:04:13] of were arrested in front of one, but this manner is not happening here
[00:04:17] today, it's happening all over the occupied west bank and we've been documenting
[00:04:21] this, we went to the south of occupied west bank and even to the north and
[00:04:25] we talked to the children and we've seen the effect
[00:04:28] of these attacks and assaults and we prepared this
[00:04:31] report. 13-year-old
[00:04:34] Emmanuel walks through the rubble of what was once the house she lived
[00:04:38] in in yatta south of Hebron.
[00:04:42] Israeli forces demolished not only her family
[00:04:44] of home but also the dreams it
[00:04:46] held. Israel says the home lacked
[00:04:50] the required building permits but human rights group say Israel
[00:04:54] rarely if ever grants building permits to palestinians in
[00:04:58] the area even on
[00:04:59] early
[00:05:12] forces arrested him and after that all our dreams disappeared, my
[00:05:16] belongings were smashed and all of our photos are gone,
[00:05:20] this tent is now the family's temporary home, the
[00:05:23] trauma has left a man his mother unable to
[00:05:26] speak, it's just a small tent with
[00:05:30] tiny kitchen, it's too hot to stay inside so we spend most of our time
[00:05:34] outside, we have almost nothing, we've never felt safe here, we
[00:05:38] cannot live like this, i feel like we're living through a tragedy just like
[00:05:42] Gaza. Amani is just one of thousands of
[00:05:45] Palestinians who have lost their homes, displaced Palestinians
[00:05:49] living in refugee camps in the northan occupied West bank have
[00:05:52] witnessed the highest number of home demolitions. Entire
[00:05:56] neighborhoods have been destroyed in front them.
[00:06:00] Countless children have been affected, each carrying the weight
[00:06:04] of seeing their homes destroyed
[00:06:06] and
[00:06:10] their lives disrupted. goes beyond the loss of
[00:06:14] house, it is the loss of dreams, a home is supposed to be the place where a
[00:06:17] child feels safe, where they run back to after being outside, but
[00:06:21] now the sense of safety is gone, we see withdrawal, unexplained
[00:06:25] aggression and depression. it's becoming
[00:06:28] increasingly difficult to provide psychological care and support
[00:06:32] as the escalating violence and continued demolitions and
[00:06:36] displacement, deepen palestinian children's suffering and
[00:06:40] prolong the effects of trauma. In the occupied West
[00:06:43] Bank, building simple home often requires years of work and
[00:06:47] patience, when it's demolished, family loses more
[00:06:51] than house, it loses stability and security with
[00:06:54] children, often paying the highest price.
[00:06:58] TRT World, Karim, the occupied West
[00:07:01] bank.
[00:07:13] "at least 17 people were killed and more than 40 injured after Russia
[00:07:17] launched a barrage of missiles and drones at Kiev and the
[00:07:20] surrounding region. Ukraine says none the 28 missiles were
[00:07:24] intercepted as it is running critically short of ammunition for its
[00:07:28] patriot air defense systems. TRT World's Joe Flynn has this
[00:07:32] report from
[00:07:32] Kieve.
[00:07:36] First came the booms, then came the
[00:07:39] blaze. The latest destruction from strikes..." Kiev,
[00:07:43] visible from kilometers away. The Ukrainian
[00:07:47] capital, now all but defenseless against Russian ballistic
[00:07:50] missiles, the country's people once more paying
[00:07:54] the
[00:07:54] price.
[00:07:58] Emergency workers toiled through the night to extinguish fires at
[00:08:02] warehouses and logistics centers across the city and its
[00:08:06] region. Russia's defense ministry said it had struck seven logistic
[00:08:10] centers claiming the targets were being. used for goods by the
[00:08:13] Ukrainian military. By morning, it became
[00:08:17] clear Ukrainian supplies were not the only things to have been
[00:08:21] destroyed. The bodies of at least eight people discovered a
[00:08:24] railway platform near one the warehouses, more civilian
[00:08:28] lives ended. With Ukraine now essentially out
[00:08:32] of interceptors that can stop ballistic missiles, there is little
[00:08:36] prospect that these will be the last casualties of such
[00:08:40] strikes. It's almost 12. hours since this uh
[00:08:43] warehouse was hit, you can still feel the heat coming off at the flames that
[00:08:47] are licking inside the oder, smells like the food
[00:08:51] or uh something else that was stored inside it, it's another
[00:08:54] explosion um is still what's being incinerated, look this is just one
[00:08:58] the one location of series that has been hit, the problem for
[00:09:02] Ukraine is that this is another example of why it needs these interceptors,
[00:09:06] why it can't defend its skies against ballistic missiles and what
[00:09:10] those ballistic missiles are capable of? After the strikes, president
[00:09:13] Vladimir Zelinski claimed on social media that ballistic missile interceptors
[00:09:17] like the US Patriot system could have saved the lives of
[00:09:21] those killed. He later added Ukraine's allies have supplied
[00:09:25] just a third the air defense missiles this year that the country
[00:09:29] had in 2025. Ballistic strikes on
[00:09:32] Ukraine have escalated in the last few months. They are now
[00:09:36] happening every three or four days. Even those that
[00:09:39] survived the attacks say they are taking.
[00:09:44] "We haven't slept for five years now, there's no
[00:09:48] sleep, people live in constant fear, constant
[00:09:52] fear. We live day to day, that's all, because there's
[00:09:56] other way. The US says it is pressing ahead
[00:09:59] with talks to allow Ukraine to make Patriot missiles itself, the
[00:10:03] earliest estimates about when those might be able to protect the country's
[00:10:07] skies and not for at least another year, unless
[00:10:10] Kiev gets interceptors before.
[00:10:25] kk terror groups disarmament and the return of some members to
[00:10:28] Turkia. It marks another step in the terror-free Turkia
[00:10:32] initiative. The legislation will take effect once the PKK
[00:10:36] terror group's full disarmament is
[00:10:38] confirmed. It will allow the cases of imprison
[00:10:42] terrorists to be reassessed, but authorities stress that
[00:10:45] it is not a general ammunisty. Each case will be
[00:10:49] reviewed by the judiciary and justice
[00:10:51] ministry. It's regarded as
[00:10:55] a cornerstone the terror free turkey initiative and the legislation aims
[00:10:59] to remove terrorism from Turkey's agenda once and for
[00:11:02] all. of for years
[00:11:05] serious skies were largely cut off from the world as
[00:11:09] sanctions and conflict left the country's aviation sector
[00:11:12] struggling to survive. now regional airlines are resuming flights
[00:11:16] and foreign investment is returning. Norkurmus reports
[00:11:20] now from Aleppo International
[00:11:22] airport. seeing civilian
[00:11:26] aircraft landing and taking off Assyrian airports was once
[00:11:29] almost unimaginable during the years the Assad
[00:11:32] regime, but with many international sanctions now lifted or
[00:11:36] eased and agreements signed with regional carriers, commercial
[00:11:40] flights are gradually returning and reconnecting Syria with the
[00:11:43] region, we came from Austria to Turkey
[00:11:47] and from there to Aleppo, the services were amazing, I was here a
[00:11:51] couple of months ago as well and I noticed a big difference. Many
[00:11:55] things have improved. I spent 12 years outside the country and it
[00:11:59] was always a dream of mind to return with my wife. Syria has
[00:12:03] more than 50 airports and airfields, but only three currently handle
[00:12:07] regular civilian flights: Damascus, alipo, and their
[00:12:10] rezor. Operations are slowly expanding. 13
[00:12:14] airlines now fly to Alipo international airport alone, which
[00:12:18] officials say reflects growing regional confidence in Syria's
[00:12:21] reopening. Out the... 13
[00:12:25] allines currently operating flights to aleppo for our turkish
[00:12:28] carriers, those close relations were evident throughout the
[00:12:32] years the syrian uprising have become even more apparent following
[00:12:36] the country's liberation. more international flight crews
[00:12:40] are also arriving at Syrian airports, something rarely
[00:12:44] seen during the war.
[00:12:47] tabii ki,
[00:12:47] it is great to see and turkish flag carrier operating here.
[00:12:51] this makes travel much easier for passengers in both countries.
[00:12:55] It should have happened earlier, but following the recent
[00:12:58] normalization of relations, I believe things will only get
[00:13:02] better and continue improve. Neglect and lack of
[00:13:06] funding defined Syria civilian airports under the
[00:13:09] outside regime. Now the new Syrian administration is
[00:13:13] overhauling the sector with foreign investments and expanded
[00:13:16] fleets and upgrade sticky infrastructure. Officials say the
[00:13:20] efforts is major step towards reconnecting Syria
[00:13:24] to regional. and international aviation networks
[00:13:27] after years of isolation. Authorities say the work
[00:13:31] extends beyond restoring flight
[00:13:33] rots. Aleppo international
[00:13:37] airport had become severely run down under the administration the outside
[00:13:41] regime. We have worked to develop the infrastructure, modernize outdated
[00:13:44] facilities and equipment and significantly improve operations across
[00:13:48] the airports. For many Syrians, each new route
[00:13:52] is more than just restored connection. It is another step towards
[00:13:56] ending the country's isolation and reestablishing its
[00:14:00] place in the region. World, Alipo,
[00:14:04] Syria. Let's take a look at some other stories
[00:14:08] that we're following for you. An audio message passed on by former
[00:14:11] Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasana has attracted sharp
[00:14:15] criticism. She's called for a ban on her awami league party
[00:14:19] to be lifted and says she will return to Bangladesh in
[00:14:22] December. A comments came on the second. anniversary the uprising that
[00:14:26] led to her owster. Bangladeshi government has repeatedly asked
[00:14:30] for her extradition from India where she fled to after protest
[00:14:34] put an end to her 20 years in power.
[00:14:38] A mass shooting a house in the US state of North Carolina has left
[00:14:42] at least two people dead and another in hospital with gunshot wounds.
[00:14:46] Local authorities say the suspected shooter was also killed.
[00:14:50] All those involved in the incident are believed to be from the same
[00:14:53] family. Germany says then
[00:14:57] an explosive filled drone that was found at Leepsig
[00:15:01] airport was a hybrid attack that raises new danger. The
[00:15:05] drone was found near a Ukrainian plane and has prompted the closure
[00:15:09] of part the cargo hub, investigation has been opened into
[00:15:13] who is behind the
