[00:00:09] United in their defense, todkia, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed
[00:00:13] new pact
[00:00:21] Iran and Oman close in a deal to reopen the
[00:00:23] of straight off for moves. Washington says it will lift its blockade of Iranian ports
[00:00:27] when that happens. Columbia. new right-wing president is sworn
[00:00:31] in and immediately backed the
[00:00:32] of $1 billion dollar security pledge from the United
[00:00:35] States. And Thailand's government promises new gun laws
[00:00:39] after a 14-year-old
[00:00:40] of shoots dead at least seven people, including five teachers at his
[00:00:43] school.
[00:00:49] of
[00:00:58] of
[00:01:04] Hello again, new deal between Turkia, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan has committed them to
[00:01:08] the defense of one another as fall out
[00:01:10] of from the war on Iran prompts new concerns around the region. The
[00:01:14] agreement has been signed in Mecca, it will see closer military
[00:01:17] of corporation. It also includes a NATO style collective defense clause, which means
[00:01:20] an attack
[00:01:21] of on one will be
[00:01:22] of considered attack on all. Turquia's president says
[00:01:26] the agreement reaffirms the right to self-defense is defined in article. 51
[00:01:30] of the UN charter, he says it's not directed against any country and is
[00:01:34] open to the participation of all brotherly nations seeking to promote
[00:01:38] peace, prosperity and stability in our region. he says
[00:01:41] will resolutely maintain its principal stance on resolving conflicts and
[00:01:45] crises through dialogue and diplomacy based on respect for international
[00:01:57] arrived in Jidda on Friday, expectations were high that the
[00:02:00] trilateral summit with Saudi Cram Prince Muhammad bin Salman
[00:02:04] and Pakistani Prime
[00:02:06] of Minister Shahbas Sharif would deliver major
[00:02:09] breakthrough. Those expectations were quickly
[00:02:12] met. The three leaders signed what they called the Mecca Joint
[00:02:16] Defense agreement. A landmark pact aimed at deepening military
[00:02:20] cooperation and strengthening collective security between their
[00:02:26] of countries. The agreement is built on the three countries longstanding historical time.
[00:02:30] islamic solidarity and shared strategic
[00:02:33] interests. its most significant provision is a collective
[00:02:37] defense
[00:02:38] de commitment, stating that an armed attack against any one
[00:02:41] of the three nations will be regarded as an attack against them
[00:02:44] all. it also pleages to deepen defense cooperation across all
[00:02:48] of sectors while strengthening collective deterrance with leaders
[00:02:52] of saying the partnership is aimed at promoting regional peace, stability
[00:02:56] and security. the summit comes as all three count.
[00:03:00] seek to expand strategic cooperation and it growing regional
[00:03:03] uncertainty. Turkey has been actively involved in
[00:03:07] diplomatic efforts over Gaza, while Pakistan has played a
[00:03:11] role in mediation between the US and Iran in recent
[00:03:14] tensions. Saudi Arabia meanwhile continues to position
[00:03:18] itself as key regional diplomatic actor. The new
[00:03:22] trilateral framework also builds on growing defense ts between
[00:03:25] of Riyadh and Islamabad. Following their strategic mutual
[00:03:29] defense. agreement signed last year, the
[00:03:33] situation is so fragile, therefore the
[00:03:35] Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the
[00:03:39] Turkey just came together just
[00:03:43] to keep the statico in the region, at least in
[00:03:47] of my opinion, and they just signed this agreement
[00:03:51] in Mecca, Mecca is the
[00:03:54] a holiest site in Islam, and this also added
[00:03:57] have to pact ' based on
[00:04:00] military basis. officials say the
[00:04:04] agreement marks a significant step in institutionalizing
[00:04:08] of security cooperation between the three regional powers with the new
[00:04:12] framework expected to
[00:04:13] of pave the
[00:04:13] of way for closer military coordination and expanded defense
[00:04:17] collaboration
[00:04:25] riyad has mostly relied on the
[00:04:29] Washington will be interesting,
[00:04:37] from the White House, the US president Donald Trump departed Washington
[00:04:41] DC early Friday evening without coming to cameras, but you can kind of
[00:04:44] put this new security pact in kind of that
[00:04:48] of category. I think you mentioned a more
[00:04:50] of fallout of from this US-Israeli war on Iran as US
[00:04:53] of partners in the region now seek new security arrangement. It can
[00:04:57] also
[00:04:58] of kind of point to questions that this leads to about the
[00:05:01] durability of US security guarantees, also questions
[00:05:05] about uh Israel's expanding military operations,
[00:05:09] and uh,
[00:05:09] a it might be even more about reassessing. their
[00:05:13] security arrangements then it is about a formal military alliance,
[00:05:17] but that of course remains to be seen as this is all very new and
[00:05:20] kind of comes back to what we talked about lot in late
[00:05:23] february around in march just after the US and Israel
[00:05:27] launched this war about did the US consider the
[00:05:31] impacts of launching those attacks and launching a war on Iran, did it
[00:05:35] consider the impacts to its US allies in the region, and
[00:05:39] it appears that uh the answer
[00:05:42] is like,
[00:05:42] we didn't consider it enough and now this is kind the response to that
[00:05:46] and um
[00:05:46] so in in practice, in theory rather, this would
[00:05:50] be kind of like the NATO article 5 where if attack on one
[00:05:54] would be attack on on all, so in theory will
[00:05:57] you know in practice will have to see if it plays out that way. by the way, article
[00:06:01] 5ive the NATO pact is only been uh invoked just one
[00:06:10] we've been hearing from various sources? senior ones in the US
[00:06:13] government that deal about the strato for moves and freedom of navigation
[00:06:17] there is imminent, but we still haven't heard
[00:06:19] anything,
[00:06:24] exactly, but we have, we keep hearing from US officials in
[00:06:28] absence of the president kind of talking about this, it is imminent,
[00:06:32] we've been hearing that all week, and this and we've been here
[00:06:35] before, but this does feel like something is
[00:06:39] moving forward, there and obviously Iran and... do seem
[00:06:43] to be close to finalizing this uh from US officials, we
[00:06:46] also know that once they say commercial shipping is restored that the
[00:06:50] US will lift the blockade of Iranian ports, that of course also
[00:06:54] remains to be seen, that is US leverage, that's economic leverage over Iran, and
[00:06:58] then of course we have this some US officials that this is all
[00:07:01] performance based, so Rand's commitments to its agreements,
[00:07:05] and that is kind of where the flash point has been in the past, and and
[00:07:09] the differences and culture differences and differences of... interpretation
[00:07:13] and language where that that has caused the flare-ups uh in these
[00:07:17] attacks, but look, there is still the US stance that
[00:07:21] Iran can't have iron grip on the straight off from moves uh and it
[00:07:25] is Iran stance that
[00:07:27] it is going to have some type of control, it could even
[00:07:30] perhaps charge for commercial shipping that may
[00:07:34] not be part of this agreement, but that's something Iran has talked about, so we still have two
[00:07:38] sides, the US and Iran at differing opinions about.
[00:07:42] the straight off for moves, but yet we have this deal, and so
[00:07:46] perhaps this deal will be finalized, and so for the US president, the choice
[00:07:50] is accept it uh or not, or walk away from
[00:07:54] it and claim victory either way, and just say that let the Europeans
[00:07:58] deal with the straight off from mouse, and we've kept Iran from having a nuclear
[00:08:02] program, so we've won the war, uh, Donald Trump will need to claim a
[00:08:06] win, so it's going to be interesting to see what the US president says
[00:08:09] and does once this agreement is finalized.
[00:08:13] Akbar Ah a former Pakistani diplomat, he explains how the defense deal
[00:08:17] between Turkia, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan could affect the
[00:08:20] region. When you look at what's happened, it is a
[00:08:24] historic moment, Muslim
[00:08:27] commentators, press are already talking
[00:08:30] about a possible emergence of a Muslim
[00:08:34] NATO, so this this agreement has
[00:08:37] tremendous potential, they've got span, that
[00:08:41] means from. to Pakistan, you see huge chunk
[00:08:44] of Europe and Asia now being covered, you got
[00:08:48] population, now they can claim to be nuclear,
[00:08:51] the only second nuclear power in that region apart from Israel,
[00:08:55] so very significant, at the same time they are serious
[00:08:59] problems around and within these nations, there's the
[00:09:02] problem of inequality of development of education,
[00:09:06] but this gives impitus and new lease of life
[00:09:10] to all three countries and als three countries have one characteristic which I
[00:09:14] want to point out, all three have good favorable
[00:09:18] relations, a good report with the president the United States which always
[00:09:22] matters in international politics. If you
[00:09:25] go back to Professor Mshima, one the leading, probably
[00:09:29] the leading political scientis of America, he talks in terms
[00:09:33] of great power rivalry, he talks in terms of
[00:09:36] four hegemonds, the United States, Russia and China
[00:09:40] and India possibly and... who dominate the
[00:09:44] world politics and in that context you see what is
[00:09:48] happening in the straight of hormos over the last few months, there was
[00:09:51] chaos, there was confusion,
[00:09:53] there was a lack of leadership and no one seemed to know what was happening
[00:09:57] and how to resolve the problem, that's why you
[00:10:00] need some international organization which
[00:10:04] would attract both parties in in conflict and try to
[00:10:08] resolve issues and that is why possibly i'm just conjecting.
[00:10:12] "this particular move may develop into a group, because already you
[00:10:16] have Egypt wanting to join, you have Malaysia very keen to join,
[00:10:20] so if these countries do join up and you have half billion
[00:10:24] people, overnight the Muslim world has
[00:10:27] hegemmon and if there is hegemmon in the Muslim world you suddenly
[00:10:31] have a force that could act as a counterbalance to the
[00:10:35] other existing edgemonsk. the UN security council
[00:10:38] has expressed concern over escalation of fighting in Yemen, calling on all
[00:10:42] parties to avoid actions that could threaten peace. on Friday huthi
[00:10:46] missile and drone attack on the displacement camp and the government held city of Marib killed
[00:10:50] at least two people, the day before Huti missiles and drone strikes
[00:10:54] killed around 60 government troops, there was also separate attack,
[00:10:58] 11 people injured inside Saudi Arabia, the hoothies who control
[00:11:02] large areas of Yemen, including the capital Sana say soudy led coalition,
[00:11:06] it's been fighting for the past 11 years, it's preparing a military
[00:11:15] in Yemen is going wider, especially that these continue
[00:11:18] their attacks on positions that they say the the belong to the
[00:11:22] internationally recognized government, the... They said that these
[00:11:26] attacks are preemptive attacks in order to
[00:11:30] stop any builds up against them, so far
[00:11:33] the the Thursdays was the deadliest attack,
[00:11:37] now Friday's attack
[00:11:41] according to I witness have targeted a
[00:11:44] military camp which is called a Sahn military camp, but also
[00:11:48] government sources and and particular health ministry
[00:11:52] says that the displaced people have been. injured and killed in
[00:11:56] that attack, so far we are witnessing built up of
[00:11:59] operations, also attacks by the his in the in the red
[00:12:03] sea, they have the have targeted in the gulf of Eden, a
[00:12:07] Saudi oil tanker, which was the eighth one, also they have
[00:12:11] targeted another one and off the coast the
[00:12:15] yumber in Saudi
[00:12:16] Arabia,
[00:12:23] just few hours ago, Spain and... imposed border controls for anyone arriving from
[00:12:27] Italy, there's an escalating EU dispute over irregular
[00:12:31] migration. Italy had imposed the same measures anyone arriving from Spain
[00:12:35] after a mass influx of migrants into Spanish territory last
[00:12:39] week. tens of thousands of undocumented migrants made their way to
[00:12:42] Madrid's North African enclave of Selta. The move by Rome was
[00:12:46] supported by Finland and Denmark. The Czecho Republic was calling for Spain's
[00:12:50] membership the Shengen free travel zone to be suspended. Madrid is
[00:12:54] upset with. what it says is lack of solidarity in the face of what it believes
[00:12:58] should be a collective responsibility.
[00:13:01] abelardo la esperia
[00:13:03] is the man he's been sworn in his colombia's new president and just few hours after the
[00:13:07] ceremony the US pledged a $1 billion dollar security package for his new
[00:13:11] government. esperia is a political novice from the far
[00:13:14] right. his administration has been welcomed into the shield the americas a
[00:13:18] trump led alliance of latin american nations who have pledged to fight
[00:13:21] narcotrafficking. spa only just one
[00:13:25] election, his margin of victory, 250,00 votes,
[00:13:29] just about one percentage point, so certainly the political divisions in
[00:13:33] colombia are
[00:13:34] clear.
[00:13:39] i am sending a firm message to the colombian people, the time has come
[00:13:43] to restore order, authority and
[00:13:45] freedom, attitude towards ending
[00:13:49] narcotrafficking, it's radically different to that of his left-wing predecessor,
[00:13:53] from colombia, here's Manuel rither: now what's
[00:13:57] been happening in the past four years is that the Colombian government has been
[00:14:00] attempting peace negotiations with the countries remaining
[00:14:04] in rebel groups. so what could happen now? if these
[00:14:08] negotiations get all of sudden cancelled
[00:14:11] with some the groups that are that were still in talks with the
[00:14:15] government, they might react by staging attacks. so it is
[00:14:19] somewhat of a tense situation and certainly it's a
[00:14:22] 180 degree turn in the Colombia's
[00:14:26] Colombian government's security policy and its approach to the
[00:14:30] conflict that has been going
[00:14:32] on in Colombia for decades. now we have had this
[00:14:35] before 15, 20 years ago with a
[00:14:39] more hard line approach, what that did at
[00:14:42] that time, some people say is
[00:14:46] force
[00:14:47] you the rebel group at that time to fight guerrillas to sit
[00:14:51] down at negotiations, perhaps it place some pressure on the...
[00:14:55] to finally sign a peace deal with the government in
[00:14:58] 2016, what analys here say,
[00:15:02] however, is that you need to have both things, you need to exert pressure
[00:15:06] on rebel groups, but you also need to have an avenue of
[00:15:09] negotiations, because we're talking about an estimated
[00:15:13] 20,00 people in Colombia right now that are
[00:15:16] involved in these rebel groups or in these criminal groups
[00:15:20] and somehow you need to find a pathway
[00:15:24] for them to join. civilian life right, for them to
[00:15:27] retire from these groups and and join the rest of
[00:15:31] society, and it's quite difficult to
[00:15:34] see how you could only achieve that through.
[00:16:08] not only in term security but also economically, one must
[00:16:12] recognize that it was very polarized election,
[00:16:15] one in which two extremes the political spectrum
[00:16:19] arrived at the final round, and in which the difference
[00:16:23] was less than one%, and that demonstrated
[00:16:27] also a thir for change regarding not
[00:16:31] only the security policy, but especially regarding the
[00:16:35] failures the peace process or... the total peace process
[00:16:38] in colombia that was led by the
[00:16:42] petrol administration and also the third colombia
[00:16:46] had for an outsider the political system to arrive to the
[00:16:49] presidency. again, the result was decided by less than
[00:16:53] one%. it was very, very
[00:16:56] close. um, and
[00:16:58] this demonstrates that the opposition is already inforce its campaign
[00:17:02] not only
[00:17:03] for during the next four years for the presidency in 2030, but also the fact
[00:17:07] that... next year there will be local elections, so political parties
[00:17:11] are already trying to test out what could their messages be and in
[00:17:15] that trying to animate their basis, which is demonstrated by not
[00:17:18] only this discourse and this protest are
[00:17:22] going today in those transition power, but it's
[00:17:26] what yet to come not only in terms of political holding this government
[00:17:30] accountable, but also in trying to construct that narrative that
[00:17:34] will allow them to contest the regional election. which will happen in
[00:17:38] October of next year, at least seven people have been killed in a
[00:17:42] mass shooting on the outskirts the Thai capital, Bangkok. Police say
[00:17:46] teenage student shot his grandparents before going to school, killing five
[00:17:49] teachers and then turning the gun on
[00:17:57] take cover at the school in Thailand's Nantaburi province
[00:18:01] as gunfire rings out. Police says a 14
[00:18:05] year old fired dozens of R founds a teachers and
[00:18:08] students with a handgun taking from family member. He
[00:18:12] had also killed his grandparents at home earlier on Friday
[00:18:16] morning. I saw students who had been shot,
[00:18:20] some in the arm, some in the back, some in the chest. We rushed to get them to
[00:18:24] hospital. Thailand has one the highest rates of
[00:18:27] civilian gun ownership in Southeast Asia. Several
[00:18:31] high-profile shootings in recent years have prompted renewed
[00:18:35] debate over gun access and public
[00:18:38] safety. I have sent relevant
[00:18:41] officials to the area. This is horrible, it shouldn't have happened. This is the
[00:18:45] reason why the government does not permit the extension of firearms
[00:18:49] possession. This is exactly why. The suspect who shot
[00:18:52] himself during the incident has been identified as a student at
[00:18:56] the same school. We rushed up and found that
[00:19:00] the perpetrator had shot himself in the right side the head and
[00:19:04] collapsed. When we got up there
[00:19:06] we checked his pulse. still had one, so we started
[00:19:09] CPR. As soon as we saw signs during CPR, we had the
[00:19:13] team bring a board up to carry him to the hospital. That
[00:19:17] rescue worker says his own daughter attends this school and he
[00:19:21] raised there after hearing reports of gun fire. For many
[00:19:24] families, hours of waiting ended with the worst
[00:19:28] possible news. It is second shooting at tine
[00:19:32] school this year. In February, teacher was killed and a
[00:19:35] student injured an attack. in the south, as
[00:19:38] investigators search for motive, the attack is again
[00:19:42] raising questions over firearm axes and whether
[00:19:46] more can be done to prevent young people from carrying
[00:19:49] out deadly
[00:20:00] high school in Nontuby throughout the evening, police vehicles
[00:20:04] come and go as investigators go into the building. continuing
[00:20:08] to search for evidence, search for possible motive for this
[00:20:11] shooting. It unfolded at around 9:30 this morning and went on for
[00:20:15] around an hour as the 14-year-old youth went from
[00:20:19] classroom to classroom targeting teachers, um, several
[00:20:23] teachers died, lot of students were injured, some them critically, there's been
[00:20:27] an appeal for blood donations, ano blood donations
[00:20:30] for some the critically ill in hospital, now the prime
[00:20:34] minister Anatin Chinvadakon visited
[00:20:37] the site
[00:20:37] this afternoon. He said he was shocked and saddened by the news, he couldn't
[00:20:41] believe how this could happen here in Thailand. There was a shooting a
[00:20:45] school in February, so the second this year, he said this is the
[00:20:48] reason why he has... tightened the gun registration laws
[00:20:52] and he said he wants to make them even tighter. the education
[00:20:55] secretary called for increase security and all schools across
[00:20:59] Thailand. he said there needs to be uh security guards on the
[00:21:03] doors checking people as they go in, and the school here has cancelled all
[00:21:07] lessons, has shut the school down for the next five
[00:21:14] puples have been gathering, looking visibly shocked talking about the day's
[00:21:17] events. rounding up some. the other main stories
[00:21:21] this hour: in the U.S. Donald Trump has called
[00:21:23] an appeals court ruling that his block construction of his $400 million dollar
[00:21:27] white house ball room a national disgrace. The court is ruled the president
[00:21:31] can't proceed with the project without getting approval from congress. Trump says
[00:21:35] he'll be appealing to the Supreme Court. Thousands of
[00:21:38] demonstrations in Pakistan have been holding rallies against fuel taxes. The
[00:21:42] government implemented aggressive price hikes in July, critics say the measure
[00:21:46] harms poorer citizens and protest.
[00:21:50] Buenosires against new property bill backed by Argentina's president Javier
[00:21:53] Miley. The bill aims to change how rural land can be used. It will
[00:21:57] also introduce new limits on
[00:21:59] the government's ability to seize private
[00:22:01] property. Almost five years ago Bosnia
[00:22:05] Herzegovina criminalized genocidal denial and the glorification of convicted
[00:22:08] war criminals. Groups representing the victims the Ukaslav wars
[00:22:12] the 1990s say thousands of complaints are still
[00:22:15] unresolved, but there's a new digital platform that's hoping it can
[00:22:19] press the.
[00:22:25] public display celebrating convicted war criminals and social media
[00:22:29] post denying the genocide will now be
[00:22:32] recorded by new initiative in Bosnia and
[00:22:35] Herzegovina. Such acts can constitute criminal offenses under the
[00:22:39] country's criminal code. A new platform, register
[00:22:42] 145A is documenting complaints and
[00:22:46] allowing citizens to submit evidence they believe violates the...
[00:23:20] say the problem is no longer documenting alleged offenses, but
[00:23:24] the pace at which cases move through the judicial
[00:23:27] system. they argue lengthy delays, risk
[00:23:30] underminding confidence in the judicial system, and

[00:23:39] it is clear that the courts of Bosnia and Herzegovina still do not
[00:23:43] understand their role and responsibility when it comes to persecuting

[00:23:54] held accountable and the judiciary must begin doing its job,

[00:24:01] Bosnia and Herzegovina's judicial system, which has become deeply
[00:24:05] problematic. For campaigners, the challenge
[00:24:09] now is ensuring those laws are enforced
[00:24:11] consistently. They say register
[00:24:14] 145A is intended to make alleged
[00:24:17] violations harder to ignore. but whether that leads to
[00:24:21] faster prosecution will depend on the courts and
[00:24:24] prosecutors. victims groups say many
[00:24:28] complaints filed even before register 145
[00:24:32] was launched have remained unresolved for years. they warn that
[00:24:36] continued delays, risks undermining public confidence in
[00:24:40] Bosnia and Herzegovina's justice system and weakening trust that
[00:24:43] the law will be enforced. Semir Sejovic, TRT
