[00:00:01] a
[00:00:09] As Iran says a straight off Hudamel's deal with Oman is
[00:00:13] a almost done, US vice president Jeddy Vance says
[00:00:15] of it will be messy and will take
[00:00:18] time. Hello
[00:00:20] of and welcome to TRT World. We're live from London. I'm Maria Ramos also ahead on
[00:00:24] this
[00:00:25] program.
[00:00:30] In Yemen, at least 35 government troops are reported to have been killed
[00:00:34] in Hoofi attacks on military
[00:00:37] of camps and Israeli forces launch wave of air
[00:00:41] strikes on southern Lebanon despite a fresh round of peace talks
[00:00:45] in Rome.
[00:00:48] Ukraine hits two oil refineries in multiple
[00:00:52] in strikes inside Russia. Zelensky says the aim is
[00:00:55] limiting Moscow's oil revenues to finance the
[00:00:59] war.
[00:01:04] of of
[00:01:16] Hello again, Iran says that deal with Oman to reopen the
[00:01:20] Straight of Horios is now in its final stages, after confirming the
[00:01:24] in two sides have agreed a specific shipping route.
[00:01:27] of Tehran says that
[00:01:29] of despite the agreement. the resumption of unrestricted shipping remains
[00:01:32] contingent on the US lifting its naval blockade of
[00:01:36] Iranian ports. Oman, which shares control
[00:01:39] of the straight of hormones and acts as mediator between Tehran and
[00:01:42] Washington has yet to publicly confirm this
[00:01:45] deal. has
[00:01:49] more on the Horimus proposal from the Iranian
[00:01:52] capital. the foreign ministry spokes
[00:01:55] person said that the two sides are very
[00:01:59] of close to
[00:02:00] of deal and another high ranking official, deputy
[00:02:04] foreign minister said that Tehran and Maskat are on the
[00:02:08] verge of signing deal on the shipping routes in
[00:02:12] the straight of Formus, however today on Thursday it's been
[00:02:16] silent and we are still waiting for
[00:02:19] more details, possibly for a joint announcement
[00:02:23] by Tehran and Moscat about that much
[00:02:27] anticipated agreement about the shipping roots. in
[00:02:30] the uh straight of hormos, but what reports suggest is that
[00:02:34] of there would be two roots, inbound
[00:02:37] a route and an outbound corridor, the inbound one will be in the north
[00:02:41] of the straight of hormoos much closer to Iranian territorial
[00:02:45] waters totally controlled by Iran, and the southern lane
[00:02:49] of will be uh close to Omani
[00:02:53] territorial waters and half of it will be controlled by Tehran, so
[00:02:57] basically this would give Iran control. over the entire
[00:03:01] straight of arms and these two roots are would be
[00:03:05] of temporary, they would be valid for about two to four months and
[00:03:09] of after that in the meantime Iran and Oman
[00:03:16] of of would clear the mines in the straight and after
[00:03:16] in that after two to four months a permanent route in the
[00:03:20] center
[00:03:23] of of the straight of formus will be designated a so-called median lane again
[00:03:27] that permanent route would also be supervised. by Iran
[00:03:31] and no vessel can go in or come out
[00:03:33] of of the straight without the
[00:03:35] of supervision of Iran. Well, for his part,
[00:03:39] US vice president Jeddy Vans has called
[00:03:42] of Iranian officials extraordinarily difficult and said it will
[00:03:46] take time to reach a consensus. I can certainly
[00:03:49] understand the American people are may be looking at this and they say, well, it seems like we're
[00:03:53] making progress and it seems like we're not. Well, the reality, Laura is that number one,
[00:03:57] the Iranians are extraordinarily difficult. people, number
[00:04:01] two, they have a fractured system, so there are people within their system
[00:04:05] who want the war to be over, there are also people within their system who are crazy
[00:04:08] radicals who want the war to
[00:04:10] of continue. well, our north america correspondent
[00:04:13] john brain has more on JD Vance's remarks from Washington
[00:04:16] DC. I think it tells us how
[00:04:20] poor the preparations were for this conflict, I mean they would have
[00:04:24] been
[00:04:24] of advised on the makeup
[00:04:26] of the Iranian leadership uh, not just the leadership that's been...
[00:04:30] eliminated of course, but
[00:04:31] - the probable successes that they are
[00:04:35] known as tough negotiators and difficult to deal with, so that should
[00:04:39] not have come as a surprise to the Trump
[00:04:42] administration. in terms of this latest deal, the
[00:04:46] Americans are still waiting to see the precise detail of
[00:04:49] it, but of course they've said all along that this
[00:04:53] of conflict cannot end with Iran having
[00:04:56] of control over the straight of her moves, and early
[00:04:59] of indications are... that that's exactly what this deal will
[00:05:03] give Iran uh, but if the Americans
[00:05:06] can portray it somehow as not -
[00:05:10] living up to that scenario, then I'm sure Donald Trump will take that because he's
[00:05:14] desperate to get out of this conflict. Now he still does have a
[00:05:17] big card to play in the sense that there is that US naval blockade still
[00:05:21] in place
[00:05:22] so that can exert further pressure on the Iranians,
[00:05:26] but the Americans need this uh to be resolved
[00:05:30] quickly uh because it's the pressure is mounting on
[00:05:34] Trump and his colleagues to get it done with the midterm elections
[00:05:38] rapidly approaching. Well, what would
[00:05:41] this propose? Iran oman framework mean for ships passing through the
[00:05:45] straight of hodin, let's take a look at the key points, well under the proposal,
[00:05:49] vessels entering the straight of huns would be managed by Iran
[00:05:52] using the northern shipping lane close to Iran's coastline,
[00:05:56] and that way to han will gain greater control over ships
[00:06:00] entering the gulf, and outbound traffic would be
[00:06:04] handled jointly by Iran and Oman, with
[00:06:08] ships exiting through the southern shipping lane near Oman's
[00:06:11] coast, Tehran would have the ability to intervene if
[00:06:15] necessary. And Iran's faz news agency is
[00:06:18] reporting that the Iranian parliament is discussing introducing
[00:06:22] penalties, including finds of up to 20% of
[00:06:26] cargo value for violations and considering restrictions on
[00:06:30] US, Israeli and other hostile
[00:06:32] vessels. Well, Yemen's hoothies
[00:06:36] have killed at least 35 government troops in missile and drone
[00:06:39] attacks on military camps in Hadramun. and Marib,
[00:06:43] the Hufis say that this attack is in response to an
[00:06:46] alleged military buildup backed by neighboring Saudi
[00:06:50] Arabia. Yemen's internationally recognized government says it will
[00:06:53] respond to this attack, fighting between the Huthis and the
[00:06:57] Saudi aligned government has escalated over the past months and it is the
[00:07:01] deadliest fighting in Yemen since 2022.
[00:07:05] Muhammad has the latest from the Yemeny Capital
[00:07:08] Sanner. This latest uh operations that I have.
[00:07:12] that has been revealed by the his military
[00:07:16] spokes person says that they have targeted this these
[00:07:20] positions in in ruway and
[00:07:23] also
[00:07:24] in in areas in hadramote and marib, he says that they have targeted these
[00:07:28] areas as there are some military
[00:07:32] built up there, they says that they have wased a preemptive
[00:07:36] strikes and they have he has also warned the
[00:07:39] yeminis there not to join the... cams
[00:07:43] in these areas, while the senior
[00:07:46] official the Yemani government says that the
[00:07:50] the group is under mounting pressure, that's that's
[00:07:53] why and they have carried out these
[00:07:56] operations as he mentioned or
[00:08:00] described at his at his account at
[00:08:04] x website, he also mentioned that the
[00:08:07] there is all the only way is to end what he described as the
[00:08:11] militiaus. against the internationally recognized government,
[00:08:15] while the the military spokes person the
[00:08:18] hutis, he has made it clear that they will continue
[00:08:20] their what they have already declared, the
[00:08:24] the operations the sage for sage, they want to
[00:08:28] to was more pressure on Saudi Arabia, we are talking about nearly eight ships that
[00:08:32] have been targeted by the the hies known as the
[00:08:36] ans, they have also been able to
[00:08:39] to turn back nearly 29. uh
[00:08:43] vessels, so we are talking about since the beginning the their
[00:08:47] blockade, they have been able to attack vessels
[00:08:51] near the gulf of Aiden and also off the coast the
[00:08:55] Saudi, Saudi seaport of
[00:08:57] Yambo. Well, against this
[00:09:01] backdrop of height and tensions in the gulf, Pakistan's prime minister
[00:09:05] Shahbas Sharif is in Riad for an official visit. The
[00:09:08] visit follows an invitation from Saudi Crown Prince and Prince.
[00:09:13] Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman Shariff was welcomed at Jedda
[00:09:17] Airport by the Mecca region deputy governor. He is
[00:09:21] expected to hold a number of meetings with Saudi officials and will be joined by the
[00:09:24] Turkish President Richard Type Erogan on
[00:09:27] Friday. Although taking place against the
[00:09:31] backdrop of height and tensions in the Gulf, the
[00:09:34] visit will carry immense significance beyond
[00:09:38] the immediate crisis and short term consideration.
[00:09:42] It will further strengthen bilateral relations, deepen strategic
[00:09:46] cooperation, to Syria now where a bomb
[00:09:50] has exploded a minibus just outside the Syrian capital, Damascus,
[00:09:54] with state media reporting that at least two deaths
[00:09:58] have taken place and there have been 13 injuries, it happened in
[00:10:02] the suburb of Jaramana around seven kilometers
[00:10:05] southeast the city center, witnesses are reporting ambulances
[00:10:09] heading to the scene and a main road has been closed. to traffic,
[00:10:13] nobody has yet claimed responsibility, and we'll bring you more details on
[00:10:17] this as we get them. well,
[00:10:21] three days of peace talks between the US, Israel and Lebanon in...
[00:10:25] Rome have just come to close, discussions reportedly focused on
[00:10:29] pilot zones for Israel's withdraws in southern Lebanon, but
[00:10:33] the talks were overshadowed by continued Israeli attacks in the region
[00:10:36] which threatened to derail negotiations entirely.
[00:10:40] Prianavani reports from
[00:10:41] Beyrut. On the
[00:10:45] eve the last day of talks in Rome, this was the scene in southern Lebanon, the
[00:10:49] town of Burja Shamali was hit by massive Israeli strikes, injuring
[00:10:53] over dozen Lebaneses. Thursday morning, news stands were
[00:10:57] peppered with both headlines: talks in Rome meant to bring peace,
[00:11:01] and the strikes on southern Lebanon bringing anything but many lebanese
[00:11:04] we spoke to said they were not surprised by the
[00:11:07] strikes. The talks in
[00:11:11] Rome have no meaning, the negotiations that are happening
[00:11:15] are waste of time. We are facing a zionist
[00:11:18] terrorist enemy. What the Israelis are doing in the south is a
[00:11:22] policy of destruction. Others said,
[00:11:26] strikes or no strikes, they don't believe anything can come the
[00:11:29] talks. Since the start, Israel never
[00:11:33] committed to any agreement, every agreement that the Israelis do, they don't
[00:11:37] honor. The three-day summit constituted the seventh round of
[00:11:40] Israely lebanese talks in the last few months, direct talks that are ordinarily
[00:11:44] unheard of. Well, progress has been made in the form of security
[00:11:48] framework that called for occupying Israeli troops to slowly be replaced by the
[00:11:52] Lebanese army, the progress these pilot. zones on the ground has
[00:11:56] been slow, and some argue lebanon is giving more than it's
[00:11:59] getting. unfortunately, until now did not gain any good
[00:12:03] point regarding what regarding the regarding
[00:12:07] talks in in Rome or with the Israelies. all what we could
[00:12:10] achieve was the seasfire.
[00:12:14] yeah, it's not a full sease fire. the Israelies are bombing every
[00:12:18] day in the south and are uh invading more more
[00:12:22] regions, they are not retreating from any the... occupied regions
[00:12:26] and many agree the uptaken strikes during the talks was
[00:12:30] no coincidence. the elephant in the room is the issue of
[00:12:33] hezbollah's weapons. both the Lebanese and Israeli governments
[00:12:37] have said that they want the group disarmed, but Hezballah is not party
[00:12:41] to these talks and the Lebanese government has yet to put forth any sort
[00:12:45] of substantitive plan, in part because Lebanese are divided on the
[00:12:48] issue, but this standoff leads many to believe that the talks in
[00:12:52] Rome will do little to affect their... reality on the ground.
[00:12:56] Priyan, TRT World, in
[00:12:58] Beirot. National Security
[00:13:02] Council Chaired by President Erdogan discussed the latest developments on the
[00:13:06] Terror Free Turkia initiative. On Wednesday, new legislative
[00:13:10] framework was submitted to the Parliament to create a framework for the next
[00:13:13] stage the terror free initiative. This legislation will take
[00:13:17] effect once the PKK terror groups full disarmant is
[00:13:21] verified and it will allow the cases of imprisoned. terrorist
[00:13:25] to be reassessed, but authorities stress that
[00:13:27] it is not a general amnesty.
[00:13:31] All Israeli forces are storming the calandia refugee camp in the
[00:13:35] occupied west bank for second day with 16 Palestinians now
[00:13:39] injured. 60 people have so far been arrested.
[00:13:43] Israel says its forces are targeting in their words terrorist elements
[00:13:47] in the camp which is home to more than 16,000
[00:13:50] Palestinian refugees and local media reported the Israeli
[00:13:54] army. distributing leaflet saying a large scale raid
[00:13:58] was being carried out. was the hand is outside the camp
[00:14:02] in occupied east Jerusalem and has the
[00:14:04] latest. it's been
[00:14:07] 40, more than 41 hours since Israel began its large
[00:14:11] scale military assault on the qalandia refugee
[00:14:15] camp and now we're a bit further from the entrance to the camp then we were
[00:14:19] previously reporting earlier in the day because israely forces
[00:14:22] prevented journalists from covering, they removed them from the
[00:14:26] entire area and blockaded it off and they fired directly at
[00:14:30] us, stun grenades. uh, the the assault is
[00:14:34] still ongoing with hundreds of soldiers as well as special forces,
[00:14:38] police and paramilitary, border
[00:14:40] police, operating inside the
[00:14:43] camp, arresting palestinians, mass raiding homes
[00:14:47] and destroying contents these homes, vandalizing them,
[00:14:51] as we often see in the occupied west bank a daily basis.
[00:14:55] "now there are upwards of 16,000 people inside this
[00:14:59] camp that are under siege for the second
[00:15:02] day, there is no one allowed in or out with the with
[00:15:05] the um entrances into the camp closed off and
[00:15:09] there is a curfew, no one is allowed in the streets even to get anything
[00:15:13] eat or um or so, the Israeli military has also
[00:15:17] prevented and obstructed the work of ambulances trying
[00:15:20] to evacuate those 16 people who were injured, the
[00:15:24] majority them" severe physical assault including multiple
[00:15:28] men in their early to late 50s, so you're talking about
[00:15:31] elderly people being beaten up, and what's happening is that the Israeli
[00:15:35] military breaks down people's home. front doors
[00:15:39] uh barges in or storms the house with 10 to 15
[00:15:42] soldiers, they carry out physical assault against the residence, they carry
[00:15:46] out mass interrogations, over at least 60
[00:15:50] people have been interrogated so far and arrested
[00:15:53] according to the palestinian prisoner society
[00:15:57] and it's very important to note two things,
[00:16:01] one this is a main road, it is very vital
[00:16:05] artery uh as you can see there's should be cars bumper to bumper,
[00:16:09] but the movement is very weak. this road ties
[00:16:13] between the north and the center the occupied west bank with
[00:16:16] Jerusalem and the south. so the fact that they are blocking the
[00:16:20] movement here means that they are affecting tens of thousands of people who move
[00:16:24] through here every day for work, for healthcare, for other their own
[00:16:28] businesses. addition to that, the Israeli military has been
[00:16:31] demolishing palestinian businesses, they've
[00:16:35] been carrying out demolitions of
[00:16:38] Palestinian car washes, clothes stores and other
[00:16:42] businesses here in around the
[00:16:46] Colandia refugee camp and near the Collandia military checkpoint.
[00:16:50] And the last note is very important to make, there are no, I mean the
[00:16:53] Israeli military is talking about this being a military operation, but
[00:16:57] there are no armed elements inside these camps that are organized
[00:17:01] any way that would put up a front or to resist uh Israel's
[00:17:05] military incursion. Well, the number of
[00:17:08] Palestinian children being held without charge in Israeli
[00:17:12] jails has nearly dobled in the space of year. The number rose from just
[00:17:16] over 100 in January last year to nearly 200 by
[00:17:20] this March. The children are in so-called administrative
[00:17:23] detention. This is a policy where Israel imprisons people
[00:17:27] indefinitely without trial and without presenting any evidence
[00:17:30] against them. And average
[00:17:34] of one child per day has been killed in Gaza. Since the beginning the
[00:17:38] ceasefire last October, that's according to the United Nations Children's Agency,
[00:17:42] UNICEF, who say more than 300 children have lost their lives
[00:17:46] in the 300 days since the truth was announced, as well as Israeli
[00:17:50] bombings, Palestinian children face malnutrition and disease, and
[00:17:54] UNICEF also says 58,000 have lost one or
[00:17:57] both their
[00:17:58] parents,
[00:18:06] but Ukraine said is it hit two oil refineries in Russia as
[00:18:10] it continues to target the country's energy infrastructure. Russia
[00:18:14] confirmed refinery in the Yaroslav region was on fire
[00:18:17] after a Ukrainian drone strike and said emergency crews
[00:18:21] were working to put out the blaze. The regional governor says
[00:18:25] the refinery storage tanks had been struck by falling drone
[00:18:29] debury and he described it as the biggest attack so far on
[00:18:32] Yaroslav which has been targeted by Ukraine in the
[00:18:35] past. Well meanwile two people have been killed
[00:18:39] and five others wounded in a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's
[00:18:43] Briansk region. This come this comes after the Russian army
[00:18:47] said its air defense systems shot down 605
[00:18:50] Ukrainian drones overnight. Falling Debry from one the drones hit
[00:18:54] a logistic center belonging to the Russian e-commerce giant
[00:18:58] Wild Berries. It's the latest attack against this online retailer
[00:19:02] which Keith accuses of aiding Russia's war effort. Dasha
[00:19:06] Chenishova reports. For
[00:19:10] thousands of small businesses, online shops are the sensor their
[00:19:13] entire operation, from where housing and logistics to deliveries.
[00:19:17] Maxim sells a wide range of goods through wildburies, which is widely
[00:19:21] seen as Russia's answer to Amazon. He says drone attacks have
[00:19:25] exposed how vulnerable small businesses can be when they depend heavily a
[00:19:29] single logistics network, although he expects the company to
[00:19:33] recover. We are lucky that we
[00:19:36] stored only. small share of our goods at marketplace
[00:19:39] warehouses, we know how to adapt, plus we don't have heavy
[00:19:43] credit burden, that will help us lot, those who had 80 to
[00:19:47] 90% their goods destroyed and bought that inventory with
[00:19:51] borrowed money are in very difficult situation, for
[00:19:55] many businesses, even a brief disruption can create serious cash flow
[00:19:58] problems, with inventory trapped inside damaged warehouses, sales
[00:20:02] stop while storage fees, supplier payments and other operating costs
[00:20:06] continue to pay. small and
[00:20:10] medium-sized businesses could suffer the most because their
[00:20:13] entire business model depends on infantry
[00:20:16] turnover. many bought their goods using borrowed money
[00:20:20] and if they can't maintain the sales volumes they originally
[00:20:24] planned, they may struggle to repay those loans.
[00:20:28] the impact extends beyond salaries. re-rooted shipments means thousands
[00:20:31] of independently operated pickup points are seen fuel deliveries
[00:20:35] and lower customer traffic, but There are now plans to build additional
[00:20:39] warehouses in neighboring Kazakhstan and Belarus and strength and
[00:20:42] security to make supply chains more
[00:20:45] resilient. This could affect the range of products
[00:20:48] available on the market. places and push up prices for some goods,
[00:20:52] but it won't fundamentally change the platform economy. online
[00:20:56] marketplaces remain Russia's dominant retail sales
[00:20:59] channel, and so we're more likely to see
[00:21:03] redistribution of sales than a collapse the system.
[00:21:06] analysts say Russia's well established trade links with China could help
[00:21:10] replace many low cost imported goods, limiting longer term
[00:21:14] disruption for consumers. recent drone strikes come a time when
[00:21:18] companies are already faced. high borrowing costs and higher taxes,
[00:21:22] so any prolong disruption could add further pressure to one of Russia's
[00:21:26] fastest growing sectors. 30 world,
[00:21:30] Moscow. Well, Sonia Vanden
[00:21:33] Ender is a political analyst and says the war is starting to
[00:21:37] affect people's everyday lives in
[00:21:39] Russia. Kie of strategy is to
[00:21:43] hurt the economy, this is what they say, this is what uh President
[00:21:47] Zelenski said few weeks ago. but of course
[00:21:50] this is now on consumers markets like wild berries, you have
[00:21:54] also ozone there, but this is not struck, but especially wild
[00:21:58] berries, and of course this is very bad, it's not only bad for
[00:22:02] consumers, but also a lot of countries are
[00:22:05] involved like Kazakhstan, Tajikistan,
[00:22:09] even China, and he said that there is
[00:22:12] military gear there, but if you look at all the retailers, like
[00:22:16] for instance you have aliexpress, well they also saw...
[00:22:20] like what you
[00:22:21] can call military gear, it's just suits and drones, mean i
[00:22:25] remember that i was somehow in the donbus and
[00:22:28] i saw some drones and one man told me the oh they are drones
[00:22:31] from aliexpress so mean
[00:22:35] they sell drones that's normal i don't think i
[00:22:39] said will sell drone anymore but of course it's bad for
[00:22:42] consumers but heard that it's still going on mean the
[00:22:46] sale still going on because russia has a big it's a big sailer
[00:22:50] in Russia, of course, the war is coming close, I mean uh,
[00:22:54] Ukraine is sending lot of drones every day, now
[00:22:58] every day, but nearly every week or every other day, and it's
[00:23:01] struck on oil refineries, and it is of course also
[00:23:05] not all of fineries, it's also hitting civilian
[00:23:09] buildings, we saw in the last week apartment buildings, so
[00:23:13] it's hitting civilians as well, and this is not really,
[00:23:17] yeah, it it's it's like you can say... kind of terrorism
[00:23:20] because this is actually private goods, it's from civilians like
[00:23:24] wellberries and apartment
[00:23:26] blocks. well, in Ukraine, three people
[00:23:30] have been killed in overnight strikes by Russia on settlements in the northern sumi
[00:23:34] region, three more were killed in strikes on the eastern
[00:23:38] city of bakilla in the harkif region. it comes after a barrage of
[00:23:42] Russian missiles and drones were launched at Kiev and the surrounding
[00:23:46] region on Wednesday, killing at least 17 people.
[00:23:50] what TRT was Joe Flynn has more
[00:23:52] from key uh we overnight saw few
[00:23:56] casualties in places including in the the eastern part the the frontline
[00:24:00] but also in the north and Sumi as well Russian glide bombs there hitting Sumi City injuring
[00:24:04] number of people and also resulting uh a couple of deaths. It
[00:24:08] is normal evening, normal night for Ukraine, but one that is
[00:24:11] increasingly concerning of course in the context the ballistic missiles and the lack of
[00:24:15] air defenses that Ukraine currently has, Vlodimir Zelinski there talking
[00:24:19] to uh the UK defense minister where's streating, we know that he has been having conversations
[00:24:23] yesterday too with Mark Rootter about how Ukraine
[00:24:27] can accelerate access to European partners,
[00:24:30] interceptors, things that are actually able to shoot down these ballistic missiles, because
[00:24:34] currently Ukraine basically has nothing, the key element of this
[00:24:38] is the US Patriot system, there are conversations between Kiev
[00:24:42] and Washington DC over both access to patriot
[00:24:46] systems, to patriot interceptor missiles themselves, but also about Ukraine's...
[00:24:50] ability to manufacture patriots in the future. the key fact
[00:24:54] in all of this is the lead time that it would take to to do so,
[00:24:57] even with patriot systems getting green lit today, we would still be looking at the middle of next year
[00:25:01] before those will be able to come on-stream and possibly even later before they're actually able
[00:25:05] to be integrated into Ukrainian air defense. in the meantime,
[00:25:09] Ukraine is working incredibly hard to try and boost its own
[00:25:13] defensive um domestic manufacturing
[00:25:16] capabilities. defense firms here that we've been talking to over the last couple of days. that we are
[00:25:20] talking to uh in
[00:25:21] the the coming days as well are are really trying to move forward quickly
[00:25:25] tandem with their European partners, but there are significant road
[00:25:29] blocks, chief among them is how they pay for it, and those are
[00:25:33] conversations too that both NATO and Vladimir Zelinski will trying to
[00:25:36] have in European
[00:25:37] capitals.
[00:25:44] US president Donald Trump is speaking to reporters at the overall office, let's
[00:25:48] listening.
[00:25:50] I people spoke have to such unbelievable
[00:25:56] some respect for, so hopefully that won't be people, necessary, I
[00:25:56] I did, would, but hopefully it'll
[00:26:00] work out very well for the country. because you're not going to find better than Todd
[00:26:04] Blanch. will you reach out to Senator Mikowskiy, senator Cassity for instance? let's see
[00:26:08] if we need anybody, I'll reach out to whoever I have to,
[00:26:11] but uh, anybody voting against him would be doing
[00:26:15] a great disservice to the country, please. Mr. President, the deadline for
[00:26:19] representative Max Miller to um withdraw from his
[00:26:23] race is coming up next week, do you believe you should
[00:26:26] withdraw? well, I'm not going to get involved and that's a very sad
[00:26:29] situation, and uh... "I know
[00:26:33] Max very well, but it's very, very
[00:26:36] sad that a situation like that takes place. Yeah, do you think
[00:26:40] the DOJ should prosecute Dr. Fauti?
[00:26:44] Well, you now, they prosecuted
[00:26:47] Peter Navaro, and they prosecuted Steve Bannon, to very decent
[00:26:50] people over something that essentially was never
[00:26:53] prosecuted before, and there are sort of
[00:26:57] telltale signs of similarity, and they
[00:27:01] went to jail. for number of months
[00:27:05] over something that they i saw one the analysts said they used to laugh it in
[00:27:09] the justice department when something like that was
[00:27:12] referred, but uh marrit garland prosecuted
[00:27:15] two very decent people and sent them to
[00:27:19] jail, i wasn't president, i would have given them a pardon in two
[00:27:23] seconds, but i wasn't, this was after left, they waited till after left, and
[00:27:27] then they prosecuted these two people and they are to be ashamed
[00:27:30] themselves, so when you see the... happened, you sort of say, maybe he
[00:27:34] should, what he did is far more serious than lot of
[00:27:37] crimes frankly, but they prosecuted two people with nothing
[00:27:41] like that has ever taken place before. Mr. President, Mr.
[00:27:45] President, on munitions, you uh posted overnight that the US has a
[00:27:49] massive amount, and you denied
[00:27:51] that there are any shortages, there is a supplemental request for
[00:27:55] $21 billion dollars to to restock,
[00:27:58] so um, why is that request still there if there's because we
[00:28:02] more all the time, and we need more. Look, we gave tremendous
[00:28:06] amount to Ukraine, the Biden people
[00:28:10] did, and they were given free of charge, no, no
[00:28:13] charge, no charge, billions, hundreds of billions of
[00:28:16] dollars, and fortunately I built up
[00:28:20] so much during my term, I rebuilt the military and also loaded
[00:28:24] it up with lot of stuff, we have certain types of munitions
[00:28:28] that are very powerful, that we have unlimited
[00:28:31] virtual. limited supply, we have others where it's a little bit
[00:28:35] tighter and we're getting them in a daily
[00:28:38] basis. as you know, our defense companies are building more plants right now
[00:28:42] than any point in history, they're building plants for the patriots, for the tomahawks, for
[00:28:46] everything, but we have certain types of munitions
[00:28:50] which are very, they may not be as accurate, they may not
[00:28:54] be, they're not as elite, we have elite to, but
[00:28:57] we're we're watching that very closely, but we have a
[00:29:01] certain types. very powerful and very
[00:29:05] good, and we have an unlimited supply,
[00:29:09] and so we're in great shape, but with that being
[00:29:12] said, we always want more, we have to have more, we have
[00:29:16] other things maybe come up, you may be come up and maybe don't come up, hopefully nothing
[00:29:20] else does come up, but we're in very good shape,
[00:29:23] we have literally massive amounts of ammunition,
[00:29:26] yeah, president, on Ukraine, president Zelensky
[00:29:30] says his country desperately needs long. long-range
[00:29:33] missiles or those patriot missile batteries, is that something that you're? well,
[00:29:36] I mean, we want missiles too, you, when Biden gave
[00:29:40] him so much, Biden gave $300 billion dollars
[00:29:44] worth of ammunition, you know, when I left, this, it was
[00:29:47] full, and he gave lot of it away, now we're rebuilding it, and we're
[00:29:51] using munitions that
[00:29:54] are very powerful, very good, but we wouldn't have been using them, we
[00:29:58] could have used something else, but these are uh, a little
[00:30:02] bit, older type, equally as effective,
[00:30:06] and uh,
[00:30:07] we, it's things that we have so much, plus we have supplies of
[00:30:11] munitions all over the world that if we ever needed them, we'd take
[00:30:14] that, we're supplied all over the world, but
[00:30:18] uh, we have, we're in very, very good shape. Russia seems to have
[00:30:21] increased their attacks on, that must be
[00:30:25] a concern, well, look, we're not involved from the
[00:30:29] standpoint, it's uh, we're separated by an. but
[00:30:33] I hate to see 2500 young people a month get killed
[00:30:37] and that's what's happening between Russia and Ukraine, they're losing average
[00:30:41] 25,000 mostly soldiers
[00:30:45] a month
[00:30:46] and you're working
[00:30:47] on it and I think we're making progress, but it's a violent,
[00:30:51] very violent war, there's a lot of hatred in that war, lot of hatred between the two
[00:30:55] leaders, I said eight wars, I thought this would be maybe one the
[00:30:59] easier ones and
