[00:00:13] Fresh exchanges of
[00:00:14] of fire between the Houties and the Saudi backed government in Yemen. The UN says more
[00:00:18] than hundred thousand people have been
[00:00:21] of displaced. The leaders of Saudi Arabia and Egypt hold
[00:00:25] crisis talks in Cairo to address the widening conflict in the Middle
[00:00:28] East.
[00:00:37] after another attack on shipping in the straight of hormous. The US
[00:00:40] a has blamed Iran. Tiran says the ship
[00:00:42] had mines and the top US lawr
[00:00:46] echos President Trump's hoax claims about the dangers of AI
[00:00:50] and the risks of falling behind
[00:00:51] China.
[00:01:13] The conflict between Yemen's and Sirilahoothis and the Saudi Backed government
[00:01:17] in Yemen is escalating with the armed group launching attacks
[00:01:21] on government help positions in the northern
[00:01:24] al-Jaf, governor it. The footage released
[00:01:27] by the Houti shows military vehicles. it says it destroyed. the
[00:01:31] group has accused the Saudi government of launching more than 350 strikes on the
[00:01:35] country over the past few
[00:01:37] of days. meanwhile, the UN refugee agency says more
[00:01:41] than 100 thousand people have been internally displaced by the renewed conflict in
[00:01:45] Yemen. several thousand more have fled across the
[00:01:49] Babandib straight to djibooti on the Horn of Africa. the United
[00:01:52] Nations says damaged to roads and telecommunications is
[00:01:56] disrupting its humanitarian operations. people there are be...
[00:02:00] forced to make dangerous journeys to flee the
[00:02:02] fighting, this is primarily
[00:02:06] movement of refugee fleeing conflict and insecurity, the people
[00:02:10] arriving from Yemen are seeking international protection and it
[00:02:14] should be received and assisted. UNHCR
[00:02:17] hugely thanksibuti a longstand refugee host for keeping its
[00:02:21] border open and welcoming those who
[00:02:30] Mohammed, some stark numbers there from the United Nations, to what extent
[00:02:34] is the fighting between these two sides having an impact on the
[00:02:37] population.
[00:02:45] of According to the hoti's remarks during the press up by by the
[00:02:48] His military spokes person, he says that they have taken control of
[00:02:52] uh nearly 5,400
[00:02:55] kilometers, it was a big a big distance and
[00:02:59] space.
[00:03:00] in in this area we can talk about that the most
[00:03:03] of the people on this area have have fled uh the attacks and
[00:03:07] also the the the flare up
[00:03:09] of of the conflict so also in the other areas when the his have
[00:03:13] started the offensive to towards the moc port
[00:03:17] city uh they have taken the route that
[00:03:21] leads directly to the to the coastal mokaport
[00:03:24] city this was the through the
[00:03:28] wazyah these regions also
[00:03:31] have
[00:03:33] of uh also other areas to the west of tas have witnessed this
[00:03:37] continuation
[00:03:38] of of the
[00:03:38] of the conflict now with the also with the houthis attempt to
[00:03:42] advance towards the west of tas where
[00:03:45] the the internationally recognized government claimed yesterday the the that
[00:03:49] they have recaptured these areas in the in the district of
[00:03:52] shamitin and also the they saying that with the help
[00:03:56] of the air forces they have been able to
[00:04:00] to
[00:04:00] of attack the houthies and also to recapture those
[00:04:04] areas, so also in the other areas we are talking about people
[00:04:07] who are between the the front lines between
[00:04:11] the both sides into the houthies and the internationally organized governments in marib and aljof
[00:04:15] and al baida, but there are no international
[00:04:19] com international agency have mentioned about the displacement in this
[00:04:22] areas,
[00:04:23] of mostly the they are talking about the displacement in the in the tas and
[00:04:27] also through through moka we're at least
[00:04:30] 2,200 people have fled to towards Jibuti
[00:04:34] and also others in general they
[00:04:38] a have mentioned that the at least 125
[00:04:41] thousand people have have fled the area where the
[00:04:45] conflict has continued so far with the continuation
[00:04:48] of the war and also the how these attempts towards to advance
[00:04:52] towards the other areas near Taiz
[00:04:56] this will would also have a continuation of this impact on the human.
[00:05:00] militarian situation which which has has been in the previous
[00:05:04] times has been has has has been also deteriorated because
[00:05:08] of the continuity
[00:05:08] of the war, so far the international agencies say that that you couldn't get
[00:05:12] access especially to the areas where where the conflict is still going
[00:05:16] on and that's the also we are talking about the shortage
[00:05:20] of aid assistance, especially yemen has been going through this kind
[00:05:24] of shortage of international aid
[00:05:37] are emerging that oil loadings have been suspended at Saudi
[00:05:40] Arabia's red sea port of... It comes days
[00:05:43] after Riad closed its critical east to west oil
[00:05:47] pipeline following attacks by the hoothies. Saudi Arabia is the
[00:05:50] world's largest oil exporter, renewed attacks by the Houti
[00:05:54] Group has already pushed global fuel prices
[00:05:58] up. These reports come, a
[00:06:02] Saudi Arabia's crime prince held talks with the Egyptian president in
[00:06:05] Cairo, Mohammed bin Salman and Abdal Fatih
[00:06:09] have called for the freedom of navigation through. the hormos
[00:06:13] and bab almandab straights and shipping in the red sea,
[00:06:17] cc refer reaffirmed Egypt's commitment to Saudi Arabias
[00:06:20] security, it comes a mid growing concerns about a wider
[00:06:24] regional conflict, although that's been downplayed by the US ambassador to
[00:06:28] Israel. I don't think it's quite
[00:06:31] that bad, what we do have is a for sure skirmish
[00:06:35] between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, but it is not really
[00:06:39] gone across the region and uh it's... because the
[00:06:43] hoodies and the sies are not getting along right now, but it
[00:06:47] hasn't spilled over to the rest the
[00:06:50] gulf, and that's the good news. right now the US and the hoodies still have a
[00:06:54] cease fire, it's been in place now for year and a half, that's a good
[00:07:08] Washington stand right now with the
[00:07:10] hoothies and how would that affect it? relationship with Saudi
[00:07:13] Arabia,
[00:07:18] well it's quite extraordinary really, it's not so long ago that the US was
[00:07:22] carrying out massive air strikes on the hootes,
[00:07:25] now it's not only talking to them, it's publicly
[00:07:29] admitting that, and this of course is designated
[00:07:33] terror group according to the United States, but it's
[00:07:36] decided that it's - more uh sensible for it to make
[00:07:40] an accommodation with the hooties than uh go to war with them
[00:07:44] again uh, partly that of course is due to what's been
[00:07:47] happening in Iran and the repercussions of that, the US
[00:07:51] does not want to open up second front in the
[00:07:54] region uh, not least because the effect on the
[00:07:58] economy back home in the United States.
[00:08:02] Uh, the impact on the relationship with Saudi
[00:08:05] Arabia is that it means the Saudis are
[00:08:08] not able to rely automatically on that.
[00:08:12] us support that they might have thought they would be able to rely on,
[00:08:16] it's understood that Donald Trump was asked twice at the weekend by
[00:08:20] the crown prince for US air strikes on the hooties and
[00:08:24] on both occasions Donald Trump refused. Now the US has
[00:08:28] set up task force we're told to help the
[00:08:32] Saudis and there will certainly be intelligence
[00:08:36] gathering and other support of that nature, but the US is
[00:08:40] not going to get involved directly. in the
[00:08:43] conflict on the on behalf the Saudis, so it's another
[00:08:47] example really of how those traditional alliances, the
[00:08:51] traditional American alliances often being
[00:08:54] undermined, and new alliances, the most improbable
[00:08:58] quarters sometimes being
[00:09:11] issued security alerts over. parts the country, including the Muslim
[00:09:14] Holy city of Mecca. It follows missile strikes by thehis which wounded at
[00:09:18] least 13 people. It's the widest ranging alert Saudi
[00:09:22] Arabia has issued since the escalation in the conflict
[00:09:25] last week. Riyad has vowed a strong response to
[00:09:29] hoothi attacks. Oman says
[00:09:33] two sailors are missing and 23 others have been rescued following attack on an
[00:09:37] oil tanker
[00:09:38] in the straight of Homus. The Panama flagged Elgaya is
[00:09:42] currently. being towed to anomani port after fire broke out in
[00:09:45] its engine room. Iran claims the vessel struck naval mine while
[00:09:49] passing through restricted route.
[00:09:52] the US says the ship was struck by an Iranian missile last month and then
[00:09:56] again by a drone over
[00:10:04] reza, can you clear any of this up for us? did the ship run into mines or was
[00:10:08] it indeed uh struck by an Iranian
[00:10:11] missile?
[00:10:16] Well Aron, again we are hearing conflicting narratives from Iran and the
[00:10:20] United States, we had heard from the United States from Trump himself that the
[00:10:24] straight of... formus has been cleared of mines and Iran, the
[00:10:27] IRGC insisted that no, the straight is not cleared of
[00:10:31] minds, and now Iran says that this ship, this Panama
[00:10:35] flagged Algaya hit a naval mine in the
[00:10:39] southern corridor the straight of hormos, this is a corridor that
[00:10:42] Iran regards unsafe, Iran does not approve of it, this
[00:10:46] is route designated by Oman and the United
[00:10:49] States, so basically the IRGC says that
[00:10:53] the vessel
[00:10:54] the super oil tanker, the super
[00:10:57] tanker hit a naval mind, the United States says that
[00:11:01] no, it was hit by a drone, nonetheless,
[00:11:05] two crew members are missing, so it's been
[00:11:08] a serious incident, and the IRGC maintains that the
[00:11:12] straight of hormos is closed, is going to continue
[00:11:16] to be closed off until or unless the
[00:11:20] United States meets Iranian
[00:11:35] six people have been killed in the latest Israeli attacks in Gaza. Health
[00:11:39] officials say four people, including a child were killed in separate attacks in
[00:11:42] Gaza City, with another killed by sniper fire in
[00:11:46] Jabalia. A sixth person has been reported to have been
[00:11:49] killed on Tuesday evening. The health ministry says in
[00:11:53] total more than 30. 970 Palestinians have been killed
[00:11:57] by Israeli strikes since the seasfire took effect in October last
[00:12:00] year. Meanwhile, the UN human
[00:12:04] rights office says the recovery of hundreds of bodies from the rubble of
[00:12:08] buildings destroyed during the war is raising fresh
[00:12:11] concerns about possible war
[00:12:17] He says a 15-year-old boy, the civil defense officer are among those to be
[00:12:21] killed. Two rockets were fire.
[00:12:25] and as people try to help, another rocket
[00:12:29] was even captured on camera as it killed the young boy and
[00:12:33] the civil defense
[00:12:35] officer, earlier attacks also
[00:12:39] kill more people here in in Gaza city, while in
[00:12:43] in b Jabalya and northern Gaza earderly man, 69
[00:12:46] year old man was shot by Israeli snipers, there are
[00:12:50] already more than 7300 people have been confirmed dead
[00:12:54] by
[00:12:54] the M of health as well as international
[00:12:57] agencies working in Gaza,
[00:13:01] among them some 21 thousand children, while thousands of bodies are
[00:13:05] still under the rubble despite the repeated attempts by civil
[00:13:08] defense and even uh families in Gaza,
[00:13:12] they've managed to recover several hundred uh bodies,
[00:13:16] now the UN has uh
[00:13:20] raised concern uh regarding what could have could have amount
[00:13:24] to war crimes or... crimes against
[00:13:32] so far may only be the tip the
[00:13:35] iceberg. much of gaza has been flattened by
[00:13:38] Israeli bombing or demolition and clearing by heavy
[00:13:42] machinery and explosives. it is
[00:13:46] critical that evidence of violations including destroyed
[00:13:50] sites be preserved. given ongoing legal
[00:13:53] proceedings regarding the... of hostilities in Gaza,
[00:13:57] what's making things extremely difficult for civil defense teams
[00:14:01] is the fact that Israel destroyed most the heavy equipment in Gaza
[00:14:04] and and is not hadn't allowed new
[00:14:07] equipment. President Trump says
[00:14:11] Russia and Ukraine have agreed to stop attacking each other's energy infrastructure, either
[00:14:15] side those confirmed the deal and both were still
[00:14:18] targeting energy facilities on Tuesday. Moscow is
[00:14:22] also using the proposed. to renew
[00:14:33] survived the drone strike, so did the candy and the
[00:14:36] lighters. But as workers cleared up at this gas station in
[00:14:39] Kieve, questions about the damage from this latest Russian
[00:14:43] attack reached far beyond the road outside the Ukrainian
[00:14:47] capital, to one the most fundamental questions of this
[00:14:50] war. Can Russia and Ukraine find any sort
[00:14:54] of... agreement for a ceasefire, even if just for a
[00:14:58] while. Russian attacks hit two petrol stations barely day
[00:15:02] after the US president said Kiev and Moscow had
[00:15:05] agreed not to target each other's energy assets. An
[00:15:09] agreement still looks short of taking effect though. Ukraine,
[00:15:13] however, on Tuesday said it was ready to try and find
[00:15:16] one. Ukraine
[00:15:20] is ready for such a ceasefire. Our partners know our position and by the way.
[00:15:25] There are several other proposals from our closest partners, our international partners, to
[00:15:29] work on this track so that through our joint efforts we can achieve this
[00:15:33] energy cease fire. In Moscow, the message was more
[00:15:37] hazy. the Kremlin said it welcomed the idea of a truce,
[00:15:41] but defended its right to protect exports, infrastructure and
[00:15:45] objections to sanctions, blame for energy prices and
[00:15:48] ongoing violence was also laid
[00:15:51] elsewhere. We have
[00:15:55] stated repeatedly that following the collapse the
[00:15:59] Istanbul.
