[00:00:09] Donald
[00:00:11] of of Trump denies the US military is running low on munitions and claims the war with Iran will
[00:00:15] end soon. Hello and welcome to TRT World
[00:00:19] Live from Istanbul. I'm Hasim Seaker also head on the
[00:00:21] program.
[00:00:26] of In Yemen, at least 58 government troops are reported. to have been killed
[00:00:30] in Houti attacks on military camps.
[00:00:34] Israeli forces launch wave of air strikes on southern Lebanon despite a
[00:00:38] fresh
[00:00:38] de round of peace talks in Rome
[00:00:42] of and Ukraine hits two oil refineries in several strikes inside
[00:00:46] of Russia. Zelensky says the aim is limiting Moscow's oil revenues to
[00:00:50] finance the
[00:00:51] war.
[00:00:58] hello president Donald Trump has dismissed claims that US
[00:01:01] munitions are running
[00:01:03] in low. Trump says US defense companies are
[00:01:05] of building more production plants, reports had said the military used
[00:01:09] up much of its stock piles of long-range missiles during the months
[00:01:12] long war on Iran. I think it's going to end
[00:01:16] pretty soon. I don't think they can go much longer. We
[00:01:20] have an unlimited supply and uh so we're in
[00:01:24] great shape, but uh with that being said uh, we
[00:01:28] always want more, we have to have more. have other things maybe come up, you maybe
[00:01:31] come up and maybe don't come up, hopefully nothing else does come
[00:01:34] up. a US vice president, JDV has
[00:01:38] called Iranian officials extraordinarily difficult and says it will
[00:01:42] take time to reach a consensus. I can certainly understand the
[00:01:46] American people are may be looking at this and they say, well, it seems like we're making
[00:01:50] progress and it seems like we're not. Well, the reality, Laura is that number one, the
[00:01:54] Iranians are extraordinarily difficult people. Number two,
[00:01:58] they have a
[00:01:58] of fractured system, so there are... people within their system who want the war to be
[00:02:02] over, there are also people within their system who are crazy radicals who want the war to
[00:02:06] continue. Craig Boswell is life for us in Washington
[00:02:10] DC, so Craig, what do we make of uh President Trump's
[00:02:14] latest uh comments about the war ending
[00:02:16] a soon? All
[00:02:20] right, on or on, it was mixed message from the president, perhaps that's
[00:02:23] intentional and by design. He was asked at this oval office signing
[00:02:27] of executive orders, he was asked, is there a deal on the straight of homoz,
[00:02:31] and his answer was, I don't want to say it has
[00:02:34] been, now we don't know what that
[00:02:37] of means, does that means he
[00:02:40] of of knows and doesn't want to say, does it mean he doesn't know or he doesn't know and doesn't want to say? again, that could
[00:02:44] be by design, but the president didn't want to go any further on the straight of
[00:02:48] homo, we'll come back to that cuz there's a reason, but he did go to
[00:02:52] of say the us controls the
[00:02:53] of straight of homoz, Iran would beg to differ, he also went
[00:02:57] to say that we're doing fine with Iran. and he's involved in the
[00:03:01] negotiations, again the US Trump administration stances that
[00:03:05] there are negotiations taking place between the US and Iran,
[00:03:09] that's what
[00:03:09] of he's implying.
[00:03:10] of Iran says differently. now on the straight of homose, this is a situation
[00:03:14] for the president that is perhaps a must win
[00:03:18] situation in the straight of homose. if this deal between Iran and
[00:03:21] Oman, it does involve fees, that's going to be unacceptable for
[00:03:25] the U.S. and that's going to be either mean, it goes back
[00:03:29] to... type of offensive action in order to try and
[00:03:33] of open it, or you accept defeat, which is something that this president is
[00:03:36] likely not going
[00:03:38] of of to want to do, he's going to want to claim a win, it's going to be very hard to claim a win on the straight for moves
[00:03:42] if in fact there are fees being charged, it has
[00:03:45] of been
[00:03:46] of of this Trump administration stance from the president to the secretary of
[00:03:50] state on down that no fees would be charged to the
[00:03:53] of straight of homose because it was that way before the war began, back
[00:03:56] a to you uh
[00:03:57] and he was very dismissive as well Craig of... these uh
[00:04:00] earlier reports that the US was running low on
[00:04:04] munition
[00:04:05] supplies.
[00:04:09] right, what the U.S. has been pushing back on on this
[00:04:12] narrative. now there are experts,
[00:04:15] of including CSIS that have been warning now for several months of very low
[00:04:19] stock piles of air defense interceptors and even now precision
[00:04:23] guide and offensive weapons, but now the president pushing back on this
[00:04:27] today, but still in kind of that
[00:04:28] of mixed message mode, he said we have an unlimited supply of
[00:04:32] some, we always need more, others are a little light, which
[00:04:36] is kind of taset admission of this, but just few days ago he
[00:04:40] said, and i'll quote, we have far more munitions than anyone in the
[00:04:43] world, far more than we need, so we've also had the
[00:04:46] of Pentagon spokesperson, we've had Pete Hegseth, the secretary defense pushing
[00:04:50] back on this, criticizing
[00:04:52] a report that 80% of US precision guided munitions
[00:04:56] have been depleted, have been used up
[00:04:58] of since this uh,
[00:04:59] the US launched this war uh on Iran and
[00:05:03] of it's it's CSIS is uh report that says it would take at
[00:05:07] least three years to replenish some
[00:05:10] of these weapons and these these tad. and these patriot
[00:05:13] missiles cost about four and a half million dollar each, take months,
[00:05:17] even years uh to make, and then the offensive weapons, there's two
[00:05:21] them in particular, particular, the precision strike missiles, the army
[00:05:25] tactical missile systems, those cost about million dollar each, so it
[00:05:29] costs money, it takes time, which is the reason why they've asked Congress for a
[00:05:33] $1. trillion dollar budget uh for their upcoming year,
[00:05:36] but look, the US, it's it's a unpopular
[00:05:39] war, that much money to... invest
[00:05:43] into munitions that are low, also very unpopular in the US,
[00:05:47] and and so this is very difficult place for this Trump
[00:05:50] administration, but they are pushing back hard on this narrative that they
[00:05:54] are that low on munitions, back to you. All right, for the moment, Craig Boswell, life for us
[00:05:58] there in Washington, thank you. Now Iran says a deal with Oman
[00:06:02] to reopen the straight of Homus is in its final stages, after
[00:06:06] confirming the two sides have agreed a shipping route.
[00:06:09] Tehran also says the US would still have to lift its bloccade of
[00:06:13] Iranian ports for unrestricted shipping to resume.
[00:06:16] Oman, which shares control the straight of Homus, and acts as mediator
[00:06:20] between Tehran and Washington has yet to publicly confirm the
[00:06:23] deal. What would this proposed
[00:06:27] Iran orman framework mean for ships passing through the straight? Well, let's
[00:06:31] look at the key points. Under this proposal, Iran would manage vessels
[00:06:35] entering the straight of Homus, using the northern shipping lane
[00:06:38] near its coastline, and that...
[00:06:42] Tehran will gain greater control over ships entering the
[00:06:46] gulf, an outbound traffic would be handled jointly by
[00:06:49] Iran and Oman, ships would exit through the southern shipping lane
[00:06:53] near Oman's coast while Tehran will be able to intervene
[00:06:57] if necessary. The fars news agency reports
[00:07:01] the Iranian parliament is also discussing fines of up to
[00:07:05] 20% of cargo value for violations and restrictions on
[00:07:09] US, Israeli and other what it calls hostile.
[00:07:13] has more on the horm proposal from the Iranian
[00:07:16] capital, the Iranian foreign ministry spokes
[00:07:20] person said that the two sides are very close
[00:07:24] to deal and another high ranking
[00:07:28] official deputy foreign minister said that Tehran and Muscat
[00:07:32] are on the verge of signing deal on the
[00:07:36] shipping routes in the street of Formus, however today on
[00:07:39] Thursday it's been silent and we are still...
[00:07:42] waiting for more details, possibly for a
[00:07:46] joint announcement by Tehran and Moscat
[00:07:50] about that much anticipated agreement about the shipping
[00:07:53] routes in the straight of hormos, but what
[00:07:57] report suggest is that there would be two routes, inbound
[00:08:01] route and an outbound corridor, the inbound one
[00:08:05] will be in the north the straight of her moves much closer to Iranian
[00:08:08] territorial waters totally controlled by Iran.
[00:08:12] and the southern lane will be close to
[00:08:16] Omani territorial waters and half of it will be
[00:08:20] controlled by Tehran, so basically this would give Iran
[00:08:23] control over the entire straight of arms and these
[00:08:27] two roots are would be temporary, they would be valid
[00:08:31] for about two to four months and after that in the
[00:08:35] meantime Iran and Oman would clear the
[00:08:39] mines in the straight and after that after two to four.
[00:08:42] months a permanent route in the center the straight of
[00:08:46] formus will be designated a so-called median
[00:08:49] lane, again that permanent route would
[00:08:53] also be supervised by Iran and no vessel
[00:08:57] can go in or come out the straight without the supervision of
[00:09:01] Iran. Our three days of peace talks between the
[00:09:04] US, Israel and Lebanon in Rome have just come to
[00:09:08] close, the discussions reportedly focused on pilot zones.
[00:09:12] for Israeli withdraws in southern Lebanon, but the talks were overshadowed by
[00:09:16] continued Israeli attacks in the region which threatened to derail
[00:09:20] those negotiations entirely. Brianca navani reports from
[00:09:23] Beirot. On the
[00:09:27] eve the last day of talks in Rome, this was the scene in southern Lebanon. The
[00:09:31] town of Burja Shamali was hit by massive Israeli strikes, injuring
[00:09:35] over dozen Lebanese. Thursday morning, news stands were peppered
[00:09:39] with both headlines: talks in Rome meant to bring... peace and the
[00:09:43] strikes on southern Lebanon bringing anything but many Lebaneses we
[00:09:47] spoke to said they were not surprised by the
[00:09:49] strikes. The talks in
[00:09:53] Rome have no meaning. The negotiations that are happening
[00:09:57] are waste of time. We are facing a zionist
[00:10:00] terrorist enemy. What the Israelis are doing in the south is a
[00:10:04] policy of destruction. Others said
[00:10:08] strikes or no strikes, they don't believe anything can come the
[00:10:11] talks. Since the start, Israel
[00:10:15] never committed to any agreement, every agreement that the Israelis do, they
[00:10:19] don't honor. The three-day summit constituted the seventh round of
[00:10:23] Israeli lebanese talks in the last few months. direct talks that are ordinarily
[00:10:27] unheard of, well progress has been made in the form of security
[00:10:30] framework that called for occupying Israeli troops to slowly be replaced by the
[00:10:34] Lebanese army, the progress these pilot zones on the ground has
[00:10:38] been slow, and some argue Lebanon is giving more than it's
[00:10:42] getting. Unfortunately, until now Lebanon did not gain
[00:10:45] any uh good point regarding what regarding the
[00:10:49] regarding talks in in Rome or with the Israelies. All what we could
[00:10:53] achieve was the...
[00:10:57] cease fire uh, it's not
[00:10:58] a full sease fire, the Israelies are bombing every day in the south and
[00:11:02] are uh invading more more regions, they are not
[00:11:05] retreating from any the occupied regions and many
[00:11:09] agree the uptaken strikes during the talks was no
[00:11:12] coincidence. the elephant in the room is the issue of hezballah's
[00:11:16] weapons. both the Lebanese and Israeli governments have said that they
[00:11:20] want the group disarmed, but Hazbolah is not party to these talks and
[00:11:24] the Leban government has yet to put forth any sort of
[00:11:27] substinative plan, in part because Lebanese are divided on the
[00:11:31] issue, but this standoff leads many to believe that the talks in
[00:11:35] Rome will do little to affect their reality on the ground.
[00:11:38] Priyanka Navani, TRT World in Beirot. A
[00:11:42] military sources in Yemen say the Hutis have killed at least 58 government
[00:11:46] troops in missile and drone attacks on military camps in
[00:11:50] Hadramut and Marib. That say the attack is in response to an
[00:11:54] alleged military. build up backed by neighboring Saudi Arabia.
[00:11:58] Yemen's internationally recognized government says it will respond to the
[00:12:01] attack, meanwile the Saudi led military coalition says 11
[00:12:04] civilians have been wounded in houti attack on the southern Saudi
[00:12:08] Arabia border region of Najran. Fighting between the Houtis and
[00:12:12] the Saudi aligned government has escalated over the past month. It
[00:12:16] is the deadliest fighting in Yemen since
[00:12:19] 2022. Muhammad has the latest
[00:12:23] from the Yemani capital Sanaah.
[00:12:26] this latest operation that have that has
[00:12:30] been revealed by the hoti's
[00:12:33] military
[00:12:34] spokesperson yah says that they have targeted this
[00:12:36] these positions in
[00:12:39] in and also in in areas in hadramot
[00:12:42] and marip he says that they have targeted these areas as
[00:12:46] there are some military built up there
[00:12:50] the says that they have waged the preemptive strikes and
[00:12:54] they have. He has also warned the Yemenis there not to
[00:12:58] join the military camps in these areas,
[00:13:01] while the senior official the Yemani
[00:13:04] government says that the the group is under
[00:13:08] a mounting pressure, that's that's why and they have carried
[00:13:12] out these operations as
[00:13:15] he mentioned or described at his uh at
[00:13:19] his account at X website, he also
[00:13:23] mentioned that the there is... the only way is to end what he
[00:13:27] described as the militaus co against the international recognized
[00:13:31] government while the the uh the military spokes person the
[00:13:34] hutis he has made it clear that they will continue
[00:13:37] their what they have already declared
[00:13:40] the the operations the sage for sage they want
[00:13:44] to
[00:13:44] to w more pressure on Saudi Arabia we are talking about nearly eight ships that
[00:13:48] have been targeted by the uh the Hithies known as the
[00:13:52] Ansar Allah they have also uh being able to uh
[00:13:56] to turn back nearly 29 uh
[00:14:00] vessels so we are talking about since the beginning the
[00:14:03] their blockade they have been able to attack
[00:14:07] vessels near the gulf of Aiden and also uh
[00:14:10] off the coast the Saudi uh Saudi seaport of
[00:14:14] Yamba. Now against the backdrop the
[00:14:18] heightened tensions in the Gulf. Pakistan's prime minister Shahbas Sharif is in
[00:14:22] Riad for an official visit. It was welcomed that. airport by the
[00:14:26] maca regional uh deputy governor is expected to hold a number of
[00:14:30] meetings with Saudi officials and we'll be joined by Turkish President Richard
[00:14:33] Type Erdogan on
[00:14:35] Friday.
[00:14:39] A bomb exploded a minibus just outside the Syrian capital
[00:14:43] Damascus with state media reporting at least two deaths and 13
[00:14:47] injuries. It happened in the suburb of Jaramana around
[00:14:51] seven kilometers southeast the city center witness. has
[00:14:55] reported seeing ambulances heading to the scene and a main road was
[00:14:59] close to traffic, no one has claimed responsibility for the
[00:15:02] blast. are the number of Palestinian teenagers
[00:15:06] being held without charge in Israeli jails has nearly dobled in
[00:15:10] the space of year. the number rose from just over 100 in
[00:15:14] January of last year to nearly 200 by this march. the
[00:15:17] miners are in so-called administrative detention. it is a
[00:15:21] policy where this or the orders are renewal.
[00:15:25] without trial and without presenting any evidence
[00:15:28] against. the Ugandan Parliament
[00:15:32] has approved the deployment of troops to Gaza as part of an international
[00:15:35] stabilization mission. comes after direct request from US president
[00:15:39] Donald Trump to President Yoeri Mussovini, Isabel
[00:15:43] Nakaria has more from Kampala.
[00:15:47] According to the Uganda People's defense act, any
[00:15:51] deployment outside the country has to be approved by the
[00:15:55] parliament, and today afternoon, parliament
[00:15:59] officially uh approved that deployment to the Gaza
[00:16:02] strip, and some the terms and the conditions that
[00:16:06] um this deployment..." is uh supposed to take is
[00:16:09] that uh this force has to be neutral
[00:16:13] force, according to humanitarian law, they need not take
[00:16:17] any sides and they will act according to that law
[00:16:21] and not take sides and interfere with any the war that is
[00:16:24] taking place there, and the forces are supposed to
[00:16:28] maintain public order, they are supposed
[00:16:32] to facilitate a humanitarian corridor for any
[00:16:35] aid uh
[00:16:37] you know distribution and they'll also have to engage any other
[00:16:41] security engagements, but also they
[00:16:45] are supposed to be a strategic
[00:16:48] position on the Israeli side called the
[00:16:52] Karim shalom crossing and that crossing
[00:16:56] is designed to accommodate up to 500 soldiers, till
[00:17:00] now we do not know how many soldiers will be
[00:17:03] deployed for that mission and that will directly be
[00:17:07] the president's role to you know determine how many soldiers will
[00:17:11] be deployed, so far we know that the debate in parliament
[00:17:15] was heated and some members of parliament were
[00:17:19] against it, because according to some missions that Uganda
[00:17:23] has taken part in, for example Somalia, South
[00:17:26] Sudan and the Central Africa
[00:17:30] Republic, many times uh the funding issue was
[00:17:34] a problem.
[00:17:46] Ukraine says it's hit two oil refineries in Russia as it
[00:17:49] continues to target the country's energy infrastructure. Russia
[00:17:53] confirmed refinery in the Yaroslava region was on fire
[00:17:56] after Ukrainian drone strike and said emergency
[00:18:00] crews were working to put out the place. The regional governor said the
[00:18:04] refinery storage tanks had been struck by falling.
[00:18:08] debri, he described it as the biggest attack so far on Yaroslav,
[00:18:12] which has been targeted by Ukraine in the
[00:18:16] past. Meanwile, two people have been killed
[00:18:18] and five others wounded in a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's Briansk
[00:18:21] region. The Russian army said it air defense systems shot down
[00:18:25] 605 Ukrainian drones, falling debris from
[00:18:29] one the drones hit a logistics center belonging to Russian e-commerce
[00:18:33] giant wildberies.
[00:18:34] It is the latest attack against the online retailer. kiev
[00:18:38] accuses of aiding Russia's war effort. Dasha Shenishava
[00:18:41] reports. For thousands
[00:18:45] of small businesses, online shops are censor
[00:18:47] the their entire operation, from warehousing and logistics to
[00:18:51] deliveries. Maxim Powers a wide range of goods through
[00:18:54] Wildburies, which is widely seen as Russia's answer to Amazon. He
[00:18:58] says drone attacks have exposed how vulnerable small businesses can be
[00:19:02] when they depend heavily a single logistics network, although he
[00:19:06] expects the company.
[00:19:15] We know how to adapt, plus we don't have heavy credit burden, that
[00:19:19] will help us lot, those who had 80 to 90% their
[00:19:23] goods destroyed and bought that inventory with borrowed money are in
[00:19:27] very difficult situation. For many businesses, even a brief
[00:19:31] disruption can create serious cash flow problems, with inventory trapped
[00:19:34] inside damaged warehouses, sales stop. while storage fees,
[00:19:38] supplier payments and other operating costs continue to bill
[00:19:42] up. small and medium size
[00:19:45] businesses could suffer the most because their entire business
[00:19:49] model depends on infantry turnover. many bought
[00:19:53] their goods using borrowed money, and if they can't maintain the sales
[00:19:57] volumes they originally planned, they may struggle to repay
[00:20:01] those loans. the impact extends beyond salaries.
[00:20:04] rerooted shipments means thousands of independently operated pickup
[00:20:08] points are seen fewer deliveries and lower customer traffic, but there are
[00:20:12] now plans to build additional warehouses in neighboring Kazakhstan and Belarus
[00:20:16] and strength and security to make supply chains more
[00:20:19] resilient. this could affect the range of products
[00:20:23] available on the marketplaces and push up prices for some goods,
[00:20:27] but it won't fundamentally change the platform economy. online
[00:20:31] marketplaces remain Russia's dominant retail sales
[00:20:34] channel, and so we're more likely to see...
[00:20:37] redistribution of sales, then a collapse the system.
[00:20:41] Analys say Russia's well established trade links with China could help
[00:20:45] replace many low cost imported goods, limiting longer term
[00:20:49] disruption for. consumers, recent drone strikes come a
[00:20:53] time when companies are already facing high borrowing costs and higher
[00:20:56] taxes, so any prolong disruption could add further pressure to one of
[00:21:00] Russia's fastest growing
[00:21:01] sectors.
[00:21:04] Moscow.
[00:21:11] At least 48 Palestinians have been injured in 2 days of Israeli
[00:21:14] raids in the occupied West bank according to Palestinian Red
[00:21:18] Creson. He says the Israeli army repeatedly prevented
[00:21:22] ambulances from reaching the injured. Israel launched raids on the
[00:21:26] Colundia refugee camp and the nearby town of
[00:21:29] early on Wednesday. Since then, dozens of Palestinians have been
[00:21:33] severely beaten and homes and shops
[00:21:35] demolished. Hassan Jabarin is human
[00:21:39] rights lawyer. He joins us now from New York to talk more about this.
[00:21:43] Thanks very much for being with us. Uh, so first of all, from legal perspective, do
[00:21:47] these operations comply with Israel?
[00:21:50] obligations under international humanitarian
[00:21:53] law, in fact it's a legal act
[00:21:56] even from Israel legal point of view, from israel
[00:22:00] legal point of view, the army is not allowed to attack people, is not
[00:22:04] allowed to enter any place, unless there is militaristic
[00:22:07] reason, and here in this case, the case of
[00:22:11] colandia refugee camp, it was no
[00:22:14] any security reason, we are speaking about a place that
[00:22:18] everybody will agree like 'even the army agrees with that
[00:22:22] that this place was quiet for very long time, there is
[00:22:26] no any attack came from this refugee
[00:22:29] camp, no people came and committed
[00:22:32] any militaristic attack any against any
[00:22:36] Israeli target, for the sudden the
[00:22:39] Israel defense, the minister of
[00:22:43] defense decided that we have to enter there, i
[00:22:47] think and as many experts'. thinks in
[00:22:50] Israel, as many analys, political analysts
[00:22:54] think that the reason behind that is Israel
[00:22:57] election, this government knows that it's
[00:23:01] going to lose the election, they want escalate the situation,
[00:23:05] the card to escalate the situation now against the palestinian,
[00:23:09] against lebanon it didn't succeed, against iran didn't succeed,
[00:23:12] against even gaza itself, nothing you can
[00:23:16] move because everything is destroyed, so the only left for
[00:23:20] this government escalate the security
[00:23:23] situation and to gain again
[00:23:26] Israeli support is escalate the situation in
[00:23:30] west bank giving the fact also that this
[00:23:34] government lead by the most racist
[00:23:37] and extreme ministers, the minister of
[00:23:41] defense with him there is another
[00:23:44] minister in the same ministry,
[00:23:47] defense ministry his name. smatrage his
[00:23:51] agenda is to expand the settlements in west bank
[00:23:55] and to transfer the Palestinians from West Bank. Hassan, if I
[00:23:58] could if I could just jump in here for moment uh, because our times limited, because
[00:24:02] I want to talk about the settler violence as well. There have been these numerous reports of
[00:24:06] Israeli civilian uh settlers
[00:24:09] attacking Palestinians in the occupied territories. Does international
[00:24:13] law place different responsibilities on Israel when the violence is
[00:24:17] carried out by settlers rather than the military.
[00:24:21] "now lately we have very, very strong voices from the
[00:24:25] international community, even from US,
[00:24:28] department that warn the government of
[00:24:32] Netanyahu that they have to take steps against the Jewish
[00:24:35] terror and the settler terror in the west bank,
[00:24:39] and of course the existence of settlement and settlers
[00:24:43] in the west bank is illegal based on the international law,
[00:24:47] the ICJ already decided that" are
[00:24:50] illegal and we have many decisions,
[00:24:53] international court decisions
[00:24:57] that make it clear that settlements
[00:25:01] in west bank is illegal, of course the
[00:25:04] violence here is considered
[00:25:08] as a terror, even some voices we
[00:25:12] started to hear from the sittlers themselve, they started to call it
[00:25:16] as a Jewish terror, in the west bank, terrorizing the...
[00:25:20] palestinian community in west bank for one reason in order to take
[00:25:24] their land and to push them to leave, they believe
[00:25:27] that this is the last opportunity because this government
[00:25:31] lit by the sittlers, lit by the
[00:25:35] political party the sellers,
[00:25:38] and so this
[00:25:40] is they feel that this is the last time, the last opportunity and they want
[00:25:44] implement their if i could just if i could just ask you briefly hassan,
[00:25:48] are there any legal avenue? use for Palestinians to ch
[00:25:52] to challenge these operations inside
[00:25:55] Israel's legal system, inside the
[00:25:59] Israel legal system of course we have and we as the lawyers of
[00:26:03] human rights all the time we submit complain and we submit
[00:26:07] petition before the Israel supreme court court, but we know that our
[00:26:11] situation is bad because there is
[00:26:14] clash between Israeli supreme court and the right wing and the
[00:26:18] last thing that this sport want to do is to defend
[00:26:22] the palestinian rights, so
[00:26:26] the Israel legal system is not ready to give
[00:26:30] effective remedy, we're gna have to leave it. Thank you so much,
[00:26:33] uh, Hassan Jabarin, joining us there from New York,
[00:26:37] welcome. Now, the new Colombian president, Abilardo
[00:26:41] laspria, nicknamed The Tiger, started roaring even
[00:26:45] before taking the top office about foreign policy changes
[00:26:48] regarding Israel and the United States. The right-wing leader also faces
[00:26:52] major domestic challenges including violence from illegal armed
[00:26:56] groups, drug trafficking and a growing healthcare crisis. Paula
[00:27:00] Bravo reports from Bogotar.
[00:27:32] spend the diplomatic relations with Israel in 2024 over the war in
[00:27:36] Gaza, criticized the new government's decision. I'm
[00:27:40] ashamed of a government and a congress that accept a
[00:27:43] diplomatic relationship with those who have killed
[00:27:47] 22,00 babies with missiles. Many
[00:27:50] European and Latin American countries have condemned the genocide of
[00:27:54] Israel, so this decision is ill-advised regarding respect
[00:27:58] for international humanitarian rights and the charter the United
[00:28:01] Nations.
[00:28:04] also announced that his government will prioritize the relationship with the United States
[00:28:08] after years of tension between Washington and Bogota. President Donald
[00:28:12] Trump accused Petro of fueling cocaine trafficking to United States
[00:28:16] and the treasury department later sanction him over
[00:28:19] alleged links illicit drug activity. We're working on
[00:28:23] some other things to including sanctions. said he will be
[00:28:27] seeking cooperation from the US in the war against drugs and he
[00:28:31] has vowed to eliminate. made all coca crops returning to aerial
[00:28:35] fumigation. you will probably see increase in the fumigation,
[00:28:39] but because the growing power of illegal armed groups, the
[00:28:42] increase the coca cultivation, and because the demand for
[00:28:46] cocaine in Europe and the United States keeps growing, this
[00:28:50] strategy will not work. the tiger gave
[00:28:54] the illegal armed groups an ultimatum. if they don't
[00:28:57] surrender, they will be hunted down once his government
[00:29:01] starts.
[00:29:32] favor in Congress. TRT World,
[00:29:35] Bogotá. Oh, the Middle East crisis has driven up
[00:29:39] energy costs in most parts the world, including Southeast
[00:29:42] Asia, but many in the Philippines are now joining the solar energy
[00:29:46] boom to lessen the impact. Rahul Radha Krishnan has
[00:29:49] more. Electricity costs
[00:29:53] have soored in the Philippines, fueled by the global energy market
[00:29:57] volatility caused by the US war on
[00:29:59] Iran. But this home owner. decided to pursue
[00:30:03] a practical hedge against rising electricity
[00:30:06] bills. We decided to switch to solar because
[00:30:09] electricity builds are getting more expensive and there have been frequent
[00:30:13] power cuts recently. These are the reasons why we decided to
[00:30:17] invest in solar panels. Even if we don't achieve a zero
[00:30:21] bill, we will still save lot. The Philippine government has
[00:30:25] targeted mix of renewable energy by 2030, but many in
[00:30:29] the industry say the solar surge is a bottom up.
[00:30:34] Our objective is to save. Our objective was to help clients
[00:30:37] to save money on electricity bills only,
[00:30:41] but since the US, Israeli, Iran war started, our
[00:30:45] clients are now looking for more security than savings,
[00:30:49] because as you can see other countries are very dependent
[00:30:53] on oil, some have experienced nationwide
[00:30:55] blackouts, so our clients are preparing for that kind of scenario.
