[00:00:00] are baseless, it's very unfortunate
[00:00:04] that the great government is distorting
[00:00:07] street, because it's perfectly true, and you don't even need
[00:00:11] Turkish sources, of course, there are many Turkish sources about that, but you don't need Turkish
[00:00:14] sources to establish that the Greek
[00:00:17] of Army has carried with in 1922 a particularly violent
[00:00:21] policy or scores earth policy, which means we have
[00:00:24] lost, so we will destroy
[00:00:26] of everything to leave only a desert to the turks. This is
[00:00:30] what happened, you can see that in the French sources, in the British sources, in the
[00:00:34] American sources,
[00:00:35] of Italian
[00:00:36] of sources are all demonstrated the store
[00:00:39] of the destruction and
[00:00:40] of the killings of Turkish and Jewish civilians
[00:00:43] and
[00:00:44] also, if you read for
[00:00:48] example the American and French records, you see
[00:00:52] that the unanimity of Greek and Armenian
[00:00:55] of refugees who arrive as refugeees in September, October, said we have been.
[00:01:00] forced by the Greek army, not the Turkish army, to leave or
[00:01:03] villages, it was the same in eastern traice, a bit later in
[00:01:07] 1922, the civilian civilian
[00:01:11] population was forced by the Greek army to leave its
[00:01:15] villages and
[00:01:18] of a cities with the same rational, we cannot keep this territory, we will take with us the traders and
[00:01:21] the artisans which are very useful for the local
[00:01:24] economy, let's return to our top
[00:01:28] story, the... relating fighting between the Huithis and Yemen
[00:01:32] Saudi-backed government, the conflict is also raising fresh concerns for
[00:01:36] global energy supplies with renewed hoothi activity near the
[00:01:39] Bub Almandab straight, putting one
[00:01:41] of the world's key shipping routes in focus. Oil prices settled about
[00:01:45] 1% higher on Monday, as traders weighed the risks to tanker
[00:01:49] traffic and the wider impact on global energy security. For more
[00:01:53] on what this means for oil markets and the global energy outlook? I'm joined
[00:01:57] from Bangkok by energy and oil market analyst.
[00:02:01] Sharma who is attending Gastech 2026,
[00:02:07] good to one have
[00:02:07] Really you of the world's largest gatherings back of the natural gas industry. with us Garov. Oil prices initially jumped more than
[00:02:11] 4% today. What's the market telling us about how
[00:02:15] seriously traders are taking this latest
[00:02:17] escalation?
[00:02:20] I was good to be back on the program. I think what we have witnessing is that we are sort
[00:02:24] of back to March, April levels, the height
[00:02:26] of the Iran war, and the reason for that is not because there is... shortage in
[00:02:30] of oil in the market, but rather both choke points, hormos
[00:02:34] and babal mandab straight are causing a lot of consennation
[00:02:37] in the market. in this part
[00:02:39] of the world, asia, there is lot of reliance on middle
[00:02:42] eastern crude, there is some relief from US oil
[00:02:46] exports coming to this part
[00:02:47] of the world, but there still a lot of anxieties both on oil and the natural
[00:02:51] gas
[00:02:54] of of front. now the Saudi Eastwest pipeline is
[00:02:56] a critical alternative route for exporting oil while the straight of
[00:03:00] moz is disrupted, how significant would it be for global
[00:03:03] supply if that pipeline remains offline for an extended
[00:03:07] period? i think that's a great question, what we
[00:03:11] had here was that the saudis had pivoted to that
[00:03:14] pipeline, now there is disruption, they were using this critical artery
[00:03:18] to mitigate their exposure to the straight of hermoos and there
[00:03:22] was some relief out in Asian markets, the the peak of jet fuel
[00:03:26] prices etc that we saw in the summer had sort of kind of...
[00:03:30] down now again tensions back in the market because the sheer volume
[00:03:34] of crude that was being exported from that part
[00:03:36] of the world has started to hit the supply chain in Asia.
[00:03:40] now what we have here is is kind of like the paradoxical
[00:03:43] situations that the Saudis are exporting less,
[00:03:47] but in fact given the 300 three figure oil prices above
[00:03:51] $100, they are tend to the sort of pulling in more
[00:03:54] of revenue and that is not good for some
[00:03:57] of the economies, the emerging markets out in Asia. where oil prices are causing
[00:04:01] a lot of inflationary pressures, we know the straight of
[00:04:05] formus has been largely shut since this war began, yet the
[00:04:09] market reaction today was relatively contained despite the
[00:04:12] of latest incidents, has the market already priced in much
[00:04:16] of the risk or could be be looking a much sharper price shock if
[00:04:19] another major supply route is
[00:04:22] disrupted. i think quite a bit
[00:04:25] of the the the risk has been priced in, you if you're
[00:04:29] looking at this situation. say say 10 years ago and this was not happening,
[00:04:32] adjusted for inflation, we'd be looking at $200 oil prices,
[00:04:36] the only, the one and only reason that has not happened is because there
[00:04:40] is lot of American light sweet crude which is heading to the high
[00:04:44] demand markets out in Asia, Thailand where I am, Vietnam,
[00:04:48] a Cambodia, China, there we say, so what we're seeing here is that
[00:04:51] US supplies are
[00:04:54] in mitigating some
[00:04:54] of the price pressures, but you can only do as much because this is a
[00:04:58] market that trades on... now says
[00:05:02] 20% or fifth
[00:05:03] of the world supplies are being impacted with the skirmishes in the middle
[00:05:07] east, i mentioned you're joining us from gas tech,
[00:05:10] one
[00:05:11] of the biggest gatherings
[00:05:12] of the global natural gas industry, are we now seeing
[00:05:15] a broader reassessment of energy security with governments and
[00:05:19] companies looking beyond oil and gas from the gulf and
[00:05:22] accelerating efforts to diversify their supply
[00:05:25] chains? well, absolutely, see at high
[00:05:29] points and at low points, there is the owners and project
[00:05:32] operators in the oil and gas sector to automate, and i've done some research with
[00:05:36] snard electric which points to the fact that some the high demand markets
[00:05:40] out in Asia and of course the big venders in the Middle East,
[00:05:44] especially Saudi Arabia and the UAE are pivoting more and more
[00:05:47] towards automation, so to use the old industry
[00:05:50] expression, do more with less or your burn less
[00:05:54] oil to have a higher output, and that has been reflected
[00:05:58] across the supply chain, whether we are talking about the importers or
[00:06:02] whether we're talking about the exporters who are trying to mitigate their exposure and
[00:06:06] maximize what they can extract out the the the currently high battle
[00:06:10] prices. Okay, got. will leave it there, thank you so
[00:06:13] much again for taking the time to speak with us, thank
[00:06:17] you for having me. Donald Trump is pushing back
[00:06:21] against growing fears over artificial intelligence, calling efforts to
[00:06:25] rain in the technology, part of what he describes as sick
[00:06:29] conspiracy. The US president is dismissing warnings from tech
[00:06:32] leaders at companies including anthropic, open AI and space
[00:06:36] x, were calling for greater government oversight of AI and
[00:06:40] warning it could pose an existential. threat to
[00:06:43] humanity, it's something that we're
[00:06:46] concerned by, but we want to make sure that we we actually regulate smartly
[00:06:50] and we're we're we're thoughtful about the risk here, so there are obviously
[00:06:54] risks to AI, there are some benefits to AI, i have
[00:06:58] to say just personally, i feel a little bit
[00:07:01] weird about the fact that you have so many frontier AI
[00:07:05] tech companies kind of coming to the government and begging the government to
[00:07:09] regulate them, it feels a little bit to me like a bit of a trogan. so
[00:07:13] I think we just
[00:07:13] have to be careful about this from
[00:07:17] Washington DC, and explains why the
[00:07:21] US administration is so wary of regulating the AI
[00:07:24] industry. While the AI companies are
[00:07:28] concerned about the risks of AI, the government is
[00:07:32] weighing the risks of AI against competition with
[00:07:36] China, they are arguing that the AI companies are
[00:07:40] America's great strength against their comp China
[00:07:43] and that the regulations might slow them down,
[00:07:46] and similar things were happening previously
[00:07:50] with social media companies, right? The government that time wanted to put
[00:07:54] guard rails on them, and that actually escalated
[00:07:57] further, and they testified in Congress, we saw Mark
[00:08:01] Zuckerbert appear in Congress, but this is part the same
[00:08:05] story. One the major reasons America is able to keep its
[00:08:09] competitive advantage against China alive, is... companies
[00:08:13] constantly innovating, it was social media
[00:08:17] companies in the previous decade, and now it's AI
[00:08:20] companies and for the government, while there are risks involved,
[00:08:24] they're clearly also keeping in mind the competition
[00:08:28] with China, and they don't want to impede the
[00:08:32] companies and they want to keep the innovation, the pace of innovation
[00:08:35] forward, as as the current government of course, the
[00:08:39] Republican administration, they
[00:08:41] are they're also... historically resistant against guard rails
[00:08:45] on uh open market uh competition,
[00:08:49] so that's currently where everything stands with AI,
[00:08:52] the Trump administration is hoping to
[00:08:56] uh limit the amount of guard rails and hoping to uh
[00:09:00] increase the speed of innovation with AI companies at the
[00:09:04] cost of not seeing eye to eye with the heads the companies
[00:09:08] themselves.
[00:09:11] Africa's biggest over share sale has opened to investors in Lagos
[00:09:15] with Dangote refinery asking ordinary Nigerians to get behind
[00:09:19] its fundraising drive. There are already signs of strong demand
[00:09:23] with more people expected to apply than there are shares available.
[00:09:27] Hillary Noruka report. We are making history today. The
[00:09:31] Dangote refinery IPO has opened for subscription on the Nigerian
[00:09:34] exchange, putting one of Africa's biggest industrial projects
[00:09:38] directly in the hands of public market investors. The offer.
[00:09:42] for 4.1 billion shares at 525
[00:09:45] each, that's 40 cents, potentially
[00:09:49] raising about 1.6 billion dollars. at that
[00:09:52] price, the refinery is being valued at roughly $48 billion
[00:09:56] dollars, but at last week's signing ceremony, aliko
[00:10:00] dangote said the IPO is about more than raising money to
[00:10:04] double its capacity. what we are trying to do is to make sure
[00:10:07] majority of all all these, my our
[00:10:10] drivers, our cooks, our uh
[00:10:14] you know servants, our managers, everybody, they will
[00:10:17] have an opportunity to have a stake in
[00:10:21] this refinally, and sure enough, investors have
[00:10:25] flauded investment portals, leading to the crash of no fewer than
[00:10:29] two investment apps. The Nigerian Exchange temporarily
[00:10:33] posted on X just hours after the IPO opened that
[00:10:37] about $400,00 people had subscribed to billion dollars worth of
[00:10:41] equity. Even before the IPO opened for subscription, the
[00:10:45] Nigerian stock market witnessed bearon with investors pulling
[00:10:49] their money out of other equities, waiting to put it in the
[00:10:52] IPO. Before, messages could
[00:10:56] land uh in their
[00:10:59] destinations to some these clients, lot them had already
[00:11:02] peltering, i started peltering our accounts with
[00:11:06] payments,
[00:11:07] you know they already dumping money, paying you
[00:11:10] know to uh take part
[00:11:14] in the IPO. African market leaders were
[00:11:18] well represented at the IPO offer presentation, showing
[00:11:22] how connected to the refinery they are. is Africa's
[00:11:25] wealth, and what I mean is that we as Africans, we need to roll up our
[00:11:29] sleeves to make sure that we actually release the
[00:11:32] value, that is African resources.
[00:11:36] Dangote has become a security anchor following the US war
[00:11:40] on Iran, presenting Africa and the rest the world with viable
[00:11:44] alternative to the Middle East. It filled gaps in western Europe and
[00:11:48] is currently negotiating long-term contracts with Ghana,
[00:11:52] Kenya and South Africa. but the big question for
[00:11:55] investors today is whether the offer price of 525
[00:11:59] n which is about 40 cents leaves enough room for the
[00:12:03] share to appreciate when it eventually trades on the
[00:12:07] NGX. some analysts have valued the refinery
[00:12:10] substantially higher.
[00:12:12] an issuing house puts it equity value at about $57
[00:12:16] billion dollars while another estimated about
[00:12:19] 61 billion. for the markets, the dangote IPO is
[00:12:23] therefore not simply a test of African's appetite for
[00:12:26] shares. It is also a test of whether investors believe the
[00:12:29] refinery can sustain its extraordinary recent
[00:12:33] profitability and justify valuation of about
[00:12:36] $48 billion dollars. Hillary
[00:12:39] Noruka, TRT World,
[00:12:42] Lagos. And that's the news for now.

[00:14:18] I repeat, this is you,
[00:14:20] get in the closet, let's go, get in the closet,
[00:14:24] so... Sometimes hiding might
[00:14:26] be the best choice, sometimes running might be the best choice, sometimes you're
[00:14:29] going to have no choice but to defend yourself. I feel safe at
[00:14:33] school, nobody feels safe. I think that some
[00:14:37] the teachers should have pistol or something hidden in the
[00:14:40] classroom to protect the students.
[00:14:43] I don't want to have to carry a gun,
[00:14:45] I don't want to have to have a bulletproof vest, but the times in
[00:14:48] which we live are dictating that.
[00:14:52] Storyteller, the bad guy on. RT
[00:14:55] World,
[00:15:10] you're watching TRT World, I'm Oscar Sabakti with reminder of our
[00:15:14] main headlines. Yemen's Saudiled coalition says 13
[00:15:18] civilians have been injured a missile and drone attacks by the Ansar
[00:15:22] Alahutis on three Saudi cities. On Monday,
[00:15:25] Yemen's army said it
[00:15:26] had struck hoothi positions along the Red Sea coast. Meanwhile,
[00:15:30] the U.S. Vice President says Washington is concerned that the
[00:15:34] group seized another island near
[00:15:36] the Bab Almandab straight. "we've been in constant contact with
[00:15:40] the Emirates, the Saudis and others who are affected in the region, so it's something the
[00:15:44] United States administration is very much top of. uh, we've also
[00:15:48] been engaged in direct conversations with the hoothies themselves,
[00:15:51] so we actually feel like we are top the
[00:15:54] situation. Iranian state media say a drone
[00:15:58] strike has hit two.
