[00:00:00] The Balkans on TRT
[00:00:04] of World.
[00:00:12] of
[00:00:18] of
[00:00:25] Hello and welcome to TRT World. This is the news out. We're live from London
[00:00:29] with me. Maria Ramos, great to have your company, coming up in the next 60
[00:00:33] minutes, as Iran says a straight
[00:00:35] of off's deal with Oman is almost done. US vice president
[00:00:39] JDV says it will be messy and will take time.
[00:00:43] of In Yemen, at least 35 government troops are reported to have been killed in
[00:00:47] Hoofi attacks on military camps and Israeli forces
[00:00:50] launch wave of air
[00:00:52] of strikes on
[00:00:53] a southern Lebanon despite
[00:00:54] of a fresh round of peace talks in Rome. And Ukraine
[00:00:57] hits two oil refineries in multiple. strikes inside Russia,
[00:01:01] Zelensky says the aim is limiting
[00:01:04] of Moscow's oil revenues to finance the
[00:01:06] war.
[00:01:12] of Our top story,
[00:01:15] this hour, Iran says a deal with Oman to reopen the straight of
[00:01:19] of Hurmos is in its final stages, after confirming the two sides have
[00:01:23] agreed a specific shipping route. Now Tehran says
[00:01:27] that, despite the agreement, the resumption of restricted shipping
[00:01:31] remains contingent on the US lifting its naval blockade of
[00:01:35] Iranian ports. now a'man which shares control
[00:01:39] of the straight of hormous and acts as mediator between Tehran and
[00:01:43] Washington has yet to publicly confirm the
[00:01:47] deal. all right, let's get more on this now and bring in TRT was Reza
[00:01:50] Hatami who joins us from the Iranian capital. good to see
[00:01:54] you just how much closer are we
[00:01:57] of today to that Iran ormand deal?
[00:02:05] Well
[00:02:05] we haven't heard any comment from Iranian officials today
[00:02:09] on Thursday
[00:02:12] of about the
[00:02:13] of possible progress in talks between Iran and Oman, but on
[00:02:16] Wednesday evening the union foreign ministry spokes person Ismail
[00:02:20] of bai said that the two sides are very close to
[00:02:23] deal and another high ranking
[00:02:27] official deputy foreign minister said that Tehran and Muscat
[00:02:31] are on the
[00:02:32] of verge of signing deal on the shipping routes in the straight
[00:02:36] of Formus, however today
[00:02:38] of on Thursday
[00:02:39] of it's
[00:02:39] been silent and we are still
[00:02:42] a waiting for more details, possibly for a joint
[00:02:46] announcement by Tehran and Moscat
[00:02:49] about that much anticipated agreement about the shipping
[00:02:52] roots in the straight of hormos, but what
[00:02:56] reports suggest is that there would be two roots, an end bound
[00:03:00] route and an
[00:03:01] of outbound corridor, the inbound one will be in the north
[00:03:05] of the straight of hormones, much closer to Iranian
[00:03:08] territorial waters, totally controlled by Iran, and
[00:03:12] the southern lane will be close to
[00:03:16] Omani territorial waters and half of it will be
[00:03:19] controlled by Tehran, so basically this would give Iran
[00:03:23] of control over the entire straight of arms and these
[00:03:26] two
[00:03:27] a roots are would be temporary, they would be... valid for
[00:03:31] about two to four months and after that, in the
[00:03:34] meantime, Iran and Oman
[00:03:37] in would clear the mines in the straight, and after that, after two to
[00:03:41] four months a permanent route in the center
[00:03:45] of of the straight of formus will be designated a so-called median
[00:03:48] lane, again that permanent route would
[00:03:52] also be supervised by Iran and no vessel
[00:03:56] can go in or come out
[00:03:57] of the straight without the supervision. of Iran, but we are still
[00:04:01] waiting for more details and we are told that
[00:04:05] talks still continue between Iran and
[00:04:09] in Oman, of so
[00:04:09] of basically everyone is waiting to see what happens next, probably
[00:04:13] tonight, probably tomorrow, as we are
[00:04:17] waiting for and and watching the developments
[00:04:19] and one
[00:04:22] of the points you made Reza when we were speaking yesterday is that
[00:04:25] once the steel is announced between Oman and Iran, it won't necessarily mean of course
[00:04:29] the... reopening
[00:04:30] of the straight of
[00:04:31] of hormos, and given the leverage that Iran has right now
[00:04:35] on the straight of hormos, what do you think some of its demands could
[00:04:39] be to the
[00:04:40] of US?
[00:04:46] yes, exactly, Iranian leaders have time and again said that
[00:04:50] deal between Iran and
[00:04:53] Oman would not automatically reopen the
[00:04:56] straight of farm Iranian leaders say this is necessary. condition, but not
[00:05:00] the sufficient
[00:05:02] of condition, well Iranians want the United States to lift its own naval
[00:05:06] blockades, the neigh bloccade on Iranian coastline and ports, we
[00:05:10] know that Iran's economy has been under years and decades of sanctions and this
[00:05:14] blockade only adds to the
[00:05:18] economic roses of Iran. Tehran also wants
[00:05:21] Washington to stop its military threats
[00:05:24] and basically Iran wants the United States
[00:05:28] to go back and to fulfill its commitments under the Islamabad
[00:05:32] memorandum of understanding. The article one of which had
[00:05:35] said that the military operations in Iran and in Lebanon
[00:05:39] are over and Iran and the United States should... not
[00:05:43] threaten each other with military action and
[00:05:46] also that included release of Iranian
[00:05:49] assets and wavers on Iran's sanctioned oil and
[00:05:53] petrochemical products, so these are the conditions that
[00:05:57] Iran wants to be made before it is
[00:06:01] willing to reopen the state of arms, basically Iran
[00:06:04] wants restoration the Islamabad memorandum
[00:06:08] of understanding. Thank you so much for.
[00:06:12] to meet live from
[00:06:13] Tehran. Well, for his part,
[00:06:17] US vice president Jeddy Vans has called Iranian officials
[00:06:20] extraordinarily difficult and will take a time, it will take
[00:06:24] time to reach a consensus. The
[00:06:28] American people are maybe looking at this and they say, well, it seems like we're making
[00:06:32] progress and it seems like we're not. The reality Laura is that number one, the
[00:06:35] Iranians are extraordinarily difficult people. Number two,
[00:06:39] they have a fractured system, so there are people within their... system who want
[00:06:43] the war to be over, there are also people within their system who are crazy radicals who
[00:06:47] want the war to continue, thank you to Washington
[00:06:51] DC, our North America correspondent John Brayne joins us now,
[00:06:55] John, what do JD Vance's comments there, tell
[00:06:59] us about how the US sees this uh, these
[00:07:02] US, excuse me, no, Iran, Oman talks
[00:07:06] without the US, of course, and also the deal that could come
[00:07:09] out.
[00:07:15] Well, first and foremost, Maril, I think it tells us how poor
[00:07:19] the preparations were for this conflict, I mean, they would have been
[00:07:22] advised on the makeup the Iranian leadership, uh,
[00:07:26] not just the leadership that's been eliminated of course, but
[00:07:30] the probable successes that they are known
[00:07:33] as tough negotiators and difficult to deal with, so that should
[00:07:37] not have come as a surprise to the Trump
[00:07:40] administration in terms. of this latest deal, the
[00:07:44] Americans are still waiting to see the precise detail of
[00:07:48] it, but of course they've said all along that this
[00:07:51] conflict cannot end with Iran having control over the straight
[00:07:55] of her moves, and early indications are that that's exactly
[00:07:59] what this deal will give Iran uh,
[00:08:03] but if the Americans can portray it somehow
[00:08:07] as not - living up to that scenario, then I'm sure Donald
[00:08:11] Trump will take that because he's... desperate to get out of this conflict, now he
[00:08:15] still does have a big card to play in the sense that there is that
[00:08:18] US naval blockade still in place, so that can
[00:08:22] exert further pressure on the Iranians, but the
[00:08:25] Americans need this uh to be resolved
[00:08:29] quickly uh, because it's the pressure is mounting on
[00:08:32] Trump and his colleagues to get it done with the mid-term elections
[00:08:36] rapidly approaching, and
[00:08:40] John, how are the US and oman looking
[00:08:44] at how is the US looking at these talks and
[00:08:47] what happens to
[00:08:50] how does this leave the us then
[00:08:53] with it's very clear as you said that oman and Iran
[00:08:57] will be formally uh looking after the straight of
[00:09:00] hormos
[00:09:07] well I mean as I say we have to wait for the precise detail of
[00:09:11] what has been agreed. "but the Americans
[00:09:14] cannot walk away from this conflict with Iran
[00:09:18] having any real influence over the straight, certainly
[00:09:21] not leaving it with the capacity to levy fees on
[00:09:25] commercial shipping. The U.S. Secretary of State in particular,
[00:09:28] particular Marco Rubio, has consistently said that that
[00:09:32] would set an unwelcome precedent across the world, because
[00:09:36] waterways are supposed to be completely open
[00:09:40] and free for commercial ship." shipping, so the
[00:09:43] US needs deal if there is deal being
[00:09:47] made that does not give Iran that sort of power,
[00:09:51] and then of course the next issue is the nuclear one, which of
[00:09:55] course was the entire premise for this war in the first
[00:09:58] place, can Donald Trump then sew up deal with
[00:10:02] Iran, which is acceptable for him, for his outlook, for
[00:10:06] his being able to present to the American people that this has all
[00:10:09] been worthwhile, because all the polling from day one and
[00:10:13] increasingly is showing that the American public does not think that this
[00:10:17] conflict has been worth it. John, thank you so much.
[00:10:21] live there from Washington DC. so
[00:10:25] what would this proposed Iran-Oman framework mean for ships
[00:10:29] passing through the straight of hormos? Let's take a look now at the
[00:10:33] key points, well under the proposal, vessels entering the straight of
[00:10:36] Hodmorres would be managed by Iran using the northern
[00:10:40] shipping lane close to Iran's coastline, and that way
[00:10:44] Tehran will gain a greater control over
[00:10:47] ships entering the Gulf and outbound
[00:10:51] traffic would be handled jointly by Iran. and
[00:10:55] Oman with ships exiting through the southern shipping lane
[00:10:59] near Oman's coast, while Tehran would have the ability to
[00:11:02] intervene if necessary, and Iran's
[00:11:06] faz news agency is reporting that the Iranian parliament is
[00:11:10] discussing introducing penalties, including fines of
[00:11:14] up to 20% of cargo value for violations and considering
[00:11:17] restrictions on US, Israeli and other
[00:11:21] hostile, quote hostile vessels. All
[00:11:25] right, let's uh stay on this, and a political advisor and
[00:11:28] commentator Rena Shart joins us now live from Washington DC.
[00:11:32] Rina, good to see you. Um, where is the US voice
[00:11:36] right now in these uh Iran-Oman
[00:11:40] talks that we're hearing about, and is Oman negotiating on
[00:11:44] behalf the US?
[00:11:48] Look, what's happening between Iran and Oman right now is less about high
[00:11:51] drama and more about the practical reality of who cont roles, the
[00:11:55] world's most important energy choke point. the straight of hormones is not just
[00:11:59] waterway, it's the artery for huge share of global oil and
[00:12:03] gas. after months of conflict, these two coastal states are
[00:12:07] trying to design a temporary shipping arrangement, and
[00:12:11] why does that matter? well, for markets, for energy prices, and for
[00:12:14] whether we get a or something more
[00:12:18] durable. and rena,
[00:12:22] but it it's very clear right now, as as John was... that the
[00:12:25] indications right now is that it is Iran and
[00:12:28] Oman, specifically Iran that will be managing the straight of
[00:12:32] Hodmus, how do you think the US will respond to
[00:12:36] this? I mean they've had since February and as John was saying, it
[00:12:40] really seems like the preparations going into this war by the US
[00:12:44] administration were not correct, well
[00:12:46] it's it's important to to
[00:12:50] talk between Iran and Oman, the
[00:12:53] understanding, that actually is, Iran and Oman
[00:12:57] appear close to agreeing on the coordinates of a shipping route, and reports have
[00:13:01] suggested a significant portion the transit would pass through Iranian
[00:13:05] waters with Oman involved on the other side. So we have to think
[00:13:08] in terms of geography, um, Teran is presenting this as a practical
[00:13:12] step towards managing traffic, but Iranian officials
[00:13:16] have been clear that even if they finalize something with
[00:13:20] musket, full and reliable reopening still depends
[00:13:24] on the United States. addressing its naval measures around
[00:13:28] Iranian ports, so this is progress on
[00:13:30] one solution, but there is a bigger
[00:13:34] strategic picture here that we all, and
[00:13:38] from geopolitical standpoint, this is about leverage and
[00:13:41] incentives, uh, Iran wants to convert
[00:13:45] wartime disruption into a more formal uh say
[00:13:49] over how this trade is administered, and Oman, what they want
[00:13:53] is stability and safe passage, is its own economy and
[00:13:56] coastline are directly exposed, so the US and energy
[00:14:00] importing countries, they also want the status quo of
[00:14:04] free, unimpeded transit restored and as
[00:14:08] quickly as possible, so those three sets of interest I
[00:14:11] just mentioned, those three sets of interest don't fully align yet,
[00:14:15] which is why we're still in this very careful conditional
[00:14:19] phase. Rina, thank you very much
[00:14:22] indeed, Reina Shah, joining us there. from Washington DC, thank
[00:14:26] you. Well, Yemen's hoofis
[00:14:30] have killed at least 35 government troops in missile and drone
[00:14:34] attacks on military camps in Hadraunt and Marib. The Hufis
[00:14:38] say this attack is in response to an alleged military build up
[00:14:42] back to by neighboring Saudi Arabia. Yemen's internationally
[00:14:45] recognized government says it will respond to the attack fighting
[00:14:49] between the Huthis and the Saudi Araline government has escalated over the
[00:14:53] past month and this is deadliest fighting in Yemen
[00:14:57] since 2022, well Muhammad has
[00:15:00] the latest from the Yemeni
[00:15:02] capitals, this
[00:15:05] latest operation
[00:15:07] that have that has been revealed by the
[00:15:11] His military spokesperson says that they have targeted this
[00:15:15] these positions in in and
[00:15:18] also in in areas in Hadramut and Marib, he says that
[00:15:22] they have targeted these areas as there. are
[00:15:26] some military are built up there, they says that they have
[00:15:30] waged the preemptive strikes and they have, he has also
[00:15:34] warned the Yemenis there not to join the um military
[00:15:37] cams in these areas, while the senior
[00:15:41] official the Yemani government says that the
[00:15:45] the group is under mounting pressure, that's that's
[00:15:48] why and they have carried out these
[00:15:51] operations as he mentioned or
[00:15:55] described at his at his account at
[00:15:59] x website, he also mentioned that the there
[00:16:03] is all the only way is to end what he described as the
[00:16:06] militaus. co against the internationally recognized government,
[00:16:10] while the the military spokes person the
[00:16:13] hutis, he has made it clear that they will continue
[00:16:16] their what they have already declared, the
[00:16:20] the operations the sage for sage, they want to to wais more
[00:16:23] pressure on Saudi Arabia, we are talking about nearly eight ships that have
[00:16:27] been targeted by the the Hithies known as the
[00:16:31] ans, they have also been able to
[00:16:35] to turn back nearly 20.
[00:16:38] vessels, so we are talking about since the beginning the their
[00:16:42] blockade, they have
[00:16:43] been able to attack vessels near the gulf of
[00:16:47] Aiden and also off the coast the
[00:16:49] Saudi, Saudi seaport of
[00:16:53] Yambo. Well, against the backdrop
[00:16:56] of height tensions in the Gulf, Pakistan's prime minister Sheikh
[00:17:00] Sharif is in Riad for an official visit. This visit follows
[00:17:04] an invitation from Saudi Crown Prince and Prime'. Mohammed bin
[00:17:08] Salman and Sharif was welcomed at Jetta airport by the
[00:17:12] Mecca region deputy governor. He's expected to hold a
[00:17:16] number of meetings with Saudi officials and will be joined by the Turkish
[00:17:19] President Rip Taib the one on
[00:17:22] Friday. Although taking place
[00:17:25] against the backdrop of height and tensions in the Gulf, the
[00:17:29] visit will carry immense significance beyond the
[00:17:33] immediate crisis and short term consideration.
[00:17:37] It will further strengthen bilateral relations, deepen strategic
[00:17:41] cooperation. Well, bomb has
[00:17:45] exploded a minibus just outside the Syrian capital Damascus
[00:17:49] with state media reporting at least two deaths and 13
[00:17:52] injuries. It happened in the suburb of Jaramana, around
[00:17:56] seven kilometer southeast the city center. Witnesses report
[00:18:00] ambulances heading to the scene and a main road has been
[00:18:03] closed to traffic. Nobody has yet claimed responsibility. And
[00:18:07] we'll bring you more details on this as we
[00:18:11] get. Well, three
[00:18:15] days of peace talks between the US, Israel and Lebanon in Rome
[00:18:19] have just come to closed. Discussions reportedly focused on
[00:18:22] pilot zones for Israeli withdrawals in southern Lebanon, but the
[00:18:26] talks were overshadowed by continued Israeli attacks in the
[00:18:30] region which threatened to derail negotiations entirely.
[00:18:33] Prianavani reports from Beirrut.
[00:18:38] On the eve the last day of talks in Rome, this was the scene in southern
[00:18:42] Lebanon. The town of Burja Shamali was hit by massive Israeli
[00:18:45] strikes, injuring over dozen Lebaneses. Thursday morning,
[00:18:49] news stands were peppered with both headlines, talks in Rome meant to
[00:18:53] bring peace and the strikes on southern Lebanon bringing anything but
[00:18:57] many Lebaneses we spoke to said they were not surprised by the
[00:19:00] strikes. The talks in
[00:19:04] Rome have no meaning, the negotiations. that are
[00:19:08] happening are waste of time, we are facing a zionist
[00:19:11] terrorist enemy, what the Israelis are doing in the south is a
[00:19:15] policy of destruction. others said
[00:19:19] strikes or no strikes, they don't believe anything can come the
[00:19:22] talks. since the start, Israel
[00:19:26] never committed to any agreement, every agreement that the israelis do, they
[00:19:30] don't honor. the three-day summit constituted the seventh round of
[00:19:34] Israeli-lebanese talks in the last few months, direct talks that... ordinarily
[00:19:38] unheard of, well progress has been made in the form of security
[00:19:41] framework that called for occupying Israeli troops to slowly be replaced by the
[00:19:45] Lebanese army, the progress these pilot zones on the ground has
[00:19:49] been slow, and some argue Lebanon is giving more than it's
[00:19:53] getting. Unfortunately, until now Lebenon did not gain
[00:19:57] any uh good point regarding what regarding the regarding the
[00:20:01] talks in in Rome or with the Israelies, all what we could
[00:20:04] achieve was the cease fire uh
[00:20:08] yeah, it's not a full sease fire, the Israelis
[00:20:10] are bombing every
[00:20:11] day in the south and are uh invading
[00:20:15] more regions, they are not retreating from any the occupied
[00:20:19] regions and many agree the uptaken strikes during the talks
[00:20:23] was no coincidence. the elephant in the room is the issue of
[00:20:26] Hezballah's weapons. both the Lebanese and Israeli governments
[00:20:30] have said that they want the group disarmed, but Hazbollah is not party
[00:20:34] to these talks and the Lebanese government has yet to... put forth any sort
[00:20:38] of substinative plan, in part because Lebanese are divided on the
[00:20:42] issue, but this standoff leads many to believe that the talks in
[00:20:46] Rome will do little to affect their reality on the ground.
[00:20:50] Priyanka Navani, TRT World in
[00:20:52] Beirout. Well Turkey has National
[00:20:55] Security Council, chaired by President Er the one discussed the latest
[00:20:59] developments on the Terror Free Turkia initiative. On Wednesday,
[00:21:02] new legislative framework was submitted to Parliament to create
[00:21:06] a framework for the next stage the terror Free Tudkia
[00:21:10] initiative. Now the legislation will take effect once the PKK
[00:21:14] terror groups full disarmament is verified. It will allow
[00:21:18] the cases of imprison terrorists. to be reassessed, but authorities
[00:21:22] stress that it's not a general
[00:21:24] amnesty. another news,
[00:21:28] Israeli forces are storming the kalania refugee camp in the occupied
[00:21:32] west bank now for second day with 16 palestinians
[00:21:35] injured. 60 people have so far been arrested.
[00:21:39] israel says its forces are targeting in their words terrorist elements
[00:21:43] in the camp, which is home to more than
[00:21:46] 16,000 Palestinian refugees and
[00:21:50] local media reported the Israeli army distributing leaflets
[00:21:53] saying a large scale raid was being carried
[00:21:57] out. well zen is outside the camp in
[00:22:00] occupied east Jerusalem and has the very
[00:22:02] latest. it's been 40, more than
[00:22:06] 41 hours since Israel began its large scale military
[00:22:10] assault on the qalandia refugee camp. and now we're a
[00:22:14] bit further from the entrance to the camp than we were previously reporting
[00:22:17] earlier in the day uh because israely forces prevented
[00:22:21] journalists from covering, they removed them from the entire area and
[00:22:25] blockaded it off and they fired directly at us, stun
[00:22:29] grenades. the the assault is still ongoing
[00:22:32] with hundreds of soldiers as well as special forces, police and
[00:22:36] paramilitary border police
[00:22:40] operating inside the camp, arresting palestinians, mass
[00:22:44] raiding homes and the destroying contents these homes,
[00:22:47] vandalizing them, as we often see in the occupied west bank a
[00:22:51] daily basis. now there are upwards of 16,000
[00:22:55] people inside this camp that are under siege for
[00:22:59] the second day, there is no one allowed in or out with the
[00:23:03] with the um entrances into the camp closed off
[00:23:07] and there is a curfew, no one is allowed in the streets even to get anything
[00:23:11] eat or um or so. the Israely military has also
[00:23:15] prevented and obstructed the work of ambulances trying
[00:23:18] to evacuate the... 16 people who are injured, the
[00:23:21] majority them with severe physical assault, including multiple
[00:23:25] men in their early to late 50s, so you're talking about
[00:23:29] elderly people being beaten up, and what's happening is that the Israeli
[00:23:33] military breaks down people's home, front
[00:23:35] doors, barges in or storms the house with
[00:23:39] 10 to 15 soldiers, they carry out physical assault against the
[00:23:43] residence, they carry out mass interrogations, over at
[00:23:47] least 60 people have been in... deregated so far
[00:23:51] and arrested according to the Palestinian prisoner
[00:23:53] society and it's very
[00:23:57] important to note two things, one this is a main
[00:24:00] road, it is very vital artery, as
[00:24:04] you can see there should be cars bumper to bumper, but the movement is
[00:24:08] very weak, this road ties between the north
[00:24:12] and the center the occupied west bank with Jerusalem and the
[00:24:15] south, so the fact that they are blocking the movement here means that
[00:24:19] they are... affecting tens of thousands of people who move through here every
[00:24:23] day for work, for health careare, for other their own
[00:24:26] businesses. addition to that, the Israeli military has been
[00:24:29] demolishing palestinian businesses, they've
[00:24:33] been carrying out demolitions of
[00:24:36] palestinian car washes, clothes, stores and other
[00:24:40] businesses here in around the
[00:24:44] colandia refugee camp and near the calandia military checkpoint, and
[00:24:48] the last note is very important to make there are no, I mean the Israeli
[00:24:52] military is talking about this being a military operation, but there are
[00:24:55] no armed elements inside these camps that are organized any way that
[00:24:59] would put up a front or to resist uh Israel's military
[00:25:03] incursion. Well, the number of
[00:25:07] Palestinian children being held without a charge in Israeli
[00:25:10] jails has nearly dobled in the space of year, the number
[00:25:14] rose from just over 100 in January of last year to nearly
[00:25:17] 200 by this March. children are in what's
[00:25:21] called administrative detention, as Israel calls
[00:25:25] it. This is a policy where Israel imprisons people
[00:25:28] indefinitely, without trial and without presenting
[00:25:31] any evidence against
[00:25:33] them. Muhammad al-Kassim joins us
[00:25:37] now from occupied East Jerusalem. Mohammed, what does this sharp
[00:25:41] increase tell us about how Israel is using administrative detention
[00:25:44] against Palestinian
[00:25:45] children?
[00:25:49] Well. Maria, we're not only looking at increase the number
[00:25:53] of Palestinian children who are being
[00:25:56] arrested by Israeli army, but
[00:26:00] also the growing rel. by the
[00:26:04] Israeli authorities on this
[00:26:08] outdated controversial administrative
[00:26:11] detention, which is leftover from the days the British
[00:26:15] mandate, if you look at the numbers, there are
[00:26:19] there are starling to say the least, 103
[00:26:23] Palestinians were arrested or under
[00:26:27] administrative detention back in January of 2025,
[00:26:30] that number has almost double. um to
[00:26:33] 191 by March of this year,
[00:26:37] and what's even more striking is the number of
[00:26:41] Palestinian children who have spent more
[00:26:44] than year in administrative detention, which has
[00:26:47] increased eight folds from six to 50 now,
[00:26:51] and again it shows the great growing reliance
[00:26:55] the Israeli authorities on this controversial law to
[00:26:59] continue not only arresting but also detaining.
[00:27:02] Palestinian children uh without due
[00:27:05] process. Mohamed, why is this policy
[00:27:09] so controversial and what do Israeli
[00:27:11] authorities at say actually justifies
[00:27:14] holding children without charge or
[00:27:16] trial?
[00:27:20] Well, it's the standard excuse, security
[00:27:24] purposes and it's controversial because Israeli authorities
[00:27:28] don't present any evidence publicly, everything is
[00:27:31] classified. and this provides this law or this
[00:27:35] detention process provides the Israeli authorities to
[00:27:39] continue renewing these detention uh
[00:27:42] periods for for months if not even years
[00:27:46] without providing the lawyers for these children with
[00:27:49] any charges so um
[00:27:53] even though um Israeli authorities claim
[00:27:57] security reasons for the arrest these children are never
[00:28:01] brought before - court where their lawyers are
[00:28:04] presented with any evidence or charges, so they are
[00:28:08] being um their do process and
[00:28:12] their treatment is at question now, and this is one the
[00:28:16] major criticism by human right
[00:28:19] groups against the Israeli authority, but it seems that it's
[00:28:22] still being practiced and even practiced a higher
[00:28:26] level than we've seen in recent years, Maria.
[00:28:30] mhammed, thank you, mohammed al-qassim live. from occupade east
[00:28:33] Jerusalem: well,
[00:28:37] average of one child per day has been killed in Gaza since the
[00:28:41] beginning the cease fire last October, and that's according to the United
[00:28:44] Nations Children's agency, UNICEF, who says that more than
[00:28:48] 300 children have lost their lives in the 300
[00:28:52] days since the truce was announced, as well as
[00:28:56] Israely bombings Palestinian children face malnutrition and
[00:29:00] disease. UNICEF also says 58% thousand children
[00:29:04] have lost one or both their
[00:29:06] parents.
[00:29:21] Ukraine says it's hit two oil refineries in Russia as
[00:29:25] it continues to target the country's energy infrastructure and
[00:29:29] Russia confirmed refinery in the Yaroslav region. was on fire
[00:29:32] after a Ukrainian drone strike and said emergency crews were working
[00:29:36] to put out the blaze, the regional governor said the refineries
[00:29:40] storage tanks had been struck by falling drone deberry, and
[00:29:44] he described it as the biggest attack so far on Yaroslav, which
[00:29:48] has been targeted by Ukraine in the
[00:29:51] past, well meanwile
[00:29:55] two people have been killed and five others wounded in a Ukrainian drone
[00:29:59] attack on Russia's Briansk region and comes after
[00:30:03] the Russian Army said its air defense systems shot down
[00:30:06] 605 Ukrainian drones overnight. Falling
[00:30:09] Debury from one the drones hit a logistics center belonging
[00:30:13] to the Russian e-commerce giant Wild Berries. Now this
[00:30:17] is significant because it's the latest attack against the
[00:30:21] online retailer which Keet accuses of aiding
[00:30:25] Russia's war effort. Dasha Chedishova
[00:30:27] reports. For thousands of small
[00:30:31] businesses. Online shops are the sensor their entire
[00:30:34] operation, from warehousing and logistics to
[00:30:37] deliveries. sells a wide range of goods through
[00:30:40] wildburies, which is widely seen as Russia's answer to Amazon. he
[00:30:44] says drone attacks have exposed how vulnerable small businesses can be
[00:30:48] when they depend heavily a single logistics network, although he
[00:30:52] expects the company to recover.
[00:30:56] we are lucky that we stored only a small share of our goods at marketplace
[00:31:00] warehouses. we know how to...
