[00:00:15] Iran security chief says the US has been given seven
[00:00:19] a conditions for restarting talks as president Donald Trump
[00:00:21] of considers his next move in the
[00:00:24] of conflict. Donald Trump is due to meet Gulf leaders in New York on the
[00:00:27] sidelines
[00:00:28] of the UN General Assembly. as shipping disruption goes on in the strate of
[00:00:32] hormos. hello and welcome to TRT Worlds live from
[00:00:36] Istanbul and Chafer Hustan also coming
[00:00:38] up. A refinery is a blaze
[00:00:42] after hundreds of Ukrainian drones launched
[00:00:44] a at the Russian capital on the final day of parliamentary elections
[00:00:49] of and weeks after a far right party scored its first regional election
[00:00:53] victory since
[00:00:54] of World of War II. German voters are going to the polls in
[00:00:57] Berlin.
[00:01:02] of
[00:01:04] of
[00:01:12] of Iran has
[00:01:16] laid out what it wants from the US
[00:01:18] in preconditions to restart negotiations on ending their
[00:01:20] of standoff which has expanded into
[00:01:22] of a conflict threatening the whole region. Security chief
[00:01:27] of of the country mosen razay says seven conditions happen delivered via Qatar. As Donald Trump
[00:01:31] prepares to meet Gulf
[00:01:32] of leaders on the sidelines
[00:01:33] of the UN general assembly in New York. Iran has not detailed all
[00:01:36] seven demands but says they include the release of frozen Iranian assets
[00:01:41] of and an end to the US naval blockade. An Iranian
[00:01:44] in delegation including president Masud Paziskiyan is due to head to the
[00:01:47] US for the general assembly. Donald Trump told US
[00:01:51] outlet axios that he has a big decision to make on whether or not to restart
[00:01:55] attacks. Raahami has more on this from the
[00:01:59] of Iranian. capital: firstly, I have to say that
[00:02:03] expectations in Iran are not very high for
[00:02:07] these negotiations, given the history of negotiations
[00:02:10] between Tehran and the Donald Trump administration, the
[00:02:13] first time that Iran and the Donald Trump
[00:02:16] administration started negotiations, that was in the spring
[00:02:20] of 2025, and in the middle of those
[00:02:23] of negotiations, of of the United States and Israel attacked Iran, the same
[00:02:26] scenario was repeated in late February, of this
[00:02:30] year and
[00:02:32] a when the presidents
[00:02:33] of the two countries back in June signed
[00:02:36] document, both
[00:02:38] of them signed the same document, the Islamabad memorandum of understanding,
[00:02:42] we saw that that mou also
[00:02:45] of unraveled
[00:02:47] in of within weeks, but Iran has always said that it will never
[00:02:51] abandon diplomacy
[00:02:52] a all
[00:02:53] of together, of it of it in may, it continues
[00:02:57] of to
[00:02:58] of engage in diplomatic talks with United States and now we are
[00:03:01] hearing that again Iran is exchanging messages with
[00:03:05] the United States via
[00:03:07] kuti intermediaries specifically via
[00:03:10] of Qatar and Pakistan about the seven points and
[00:03:14] seven demands of Iran, as you said in the
[00:03:17] of introduction, the
[00:03:19] of secretary of Iran supreme National Security Council Mohsen Ri has not been
[00:03:22] very
[00:03:24] of specific about Iranian demands, but it seems that Iran wants
[00:03:27] a return of both sides. both
[00:03:30] of the United States and Tehran of course, to the Islamabad
[00:03:34] memorandum of understanding.
[00:03:36] of Iranians have said that if the United States returns to the Islam about
[00:03:39] MoU, then Iran is ready to do the same, provided
[00:03:43] that the United States
[00:03:45] of adhears to all of its commitments and gives
[00:03:48] of guarantees of that it
[00:03:49] of will not attack Iran again. Among the points that
[00:03:53] Iran wants the United States to do, the demands that Iran have from
[00:03:57] the has from the United States, one
[00:03:59] of them is "the release of Iranian frozen assets, Tehran
[00:04:03] has billions of dollars in frozen assets
[00:04:06] in abroad and cannot access them
[00:04:09] of because
[00:04:09] of the US sanctions and Iran wants the United States to
[00:04:13] of allow it
[00:04:14] in to
[00:04:14] of get hold and access these funds. Another one is
[00:04:18] end of war on all
[00:04:20] of of fronts, not only in
[00:04:21] of Iran,
[00:04:22] of but a Iran wants end
[00:04:23] of
[00:04:24] in a of Israely attacks in Lebanon and in Gaza as well, refraining from
[00:04:28] in interfering in internal affairs. Iran Tehran as long accused the United
[00:04:32] of States of formenting
[00:04:34] of and encouraging protests and riots in Iran and Tehran once the
[00:04:38] of United States to stop this, stop cooperating with
[00:04:41] opponents, the opposition
[00:04:43] of the Islamic
[00:04:44] in Republic. Iran says that the
[00:04:45] me United States is supporting them and wants Washington to stop this
[00:04:49] support, halt
[00:04:50] of any form of aggression, probably it means economic
[00:04:54] of aggression against Iran and also lifting the US
[00:04:59] of of naval blockade. Iran has said that um "if the
[00:05:00] in United States does not
[00:05:01] of lift the naval blockade, Iran will not reopen the straight off
[00:05:04] moves. The Saudi led Coalition says it has
[00:05:08] intercepted houti ballistic missile targeting Riyadh
[00:05:11] of of and stopped a wider attack. on several Saudi cities, but the Huti say
[00:05:15] their missiles and drones hit sensitive sites in the capital and aramku
[00:05:18] facility in yanbu causing large fires. Following the
[00:05:22] interception, black smoke was seen rising near King Khalid international airport in
[00:05:26] Riyadh. Houti officials claimed the operation was a direct response to
[00:05:30] hundreds of recent Saudi air strikes while denying allegations of
[00:05:34] targeting civilian areas. The coalition says attacks also
[00:05:37] targeted civilian areas across Bish, Thai, Farasan and
[00:05:41] Yanbu. Meanwhile. Hothi said they will keep up their strikes until
[00:05:45] Saudi military operations
[00:05:46] and now in Israeli strike
[00:05:50] a civilian vehicle in Gaza City has killed at least one person. This
[00:05:54] raised the death toll on Saturday alone to five people, including people
[00:05:58] killed in other attacks across the onclive in Jabaliya, Nosairat and Gaza
[00:06:02] City.
[00:06:03] It is the latest Israeli violation to the cease fire signed in October
[00:06:07] last year. More than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed in
[00:06:11] Israeli attacks. that agreement and
[00:06:15] dozens of Israelis have also intruded into the al-aqsamos
[00:06:19] compound and occupied is Jerusalem under the protection of Israeli
[00:06:23] police, some of those who made it inside performed
[00:06:26] Jewish prayers and rituals in the courtyards. It comes
[00:06:30] just hours before the Jewish celebration of Yommipur.
[00:06:34] Palestinian officials warn that the growing number of such actions are part
[00:06:38] of attempt to change the status the holy site and control access to the area.
[00:06:45] English music star at Sheron has apologized to fans in
[00:06:48] Philadelphia for how he has handled the controversy over the dropping of American
[00:06:52] rapper Macalmore. He was removed from the singer's latest US tours
[00:06:56] after stadium owners objected to pro-palestinian
[00:06:59] comments he made a stage during performances in New
[00:07:02] Jersey. Sheeran blamed the promoter for the move.
[00:07:06] All of Sheeran's remaining opening acts and his backing band then pulled
[00:07:10] out in solidarity with.
[00:07:14] but this week the criticism was about something much more important and i've had to
[00:07:18] take uh and make difficult decisions and i am making mistakes
[00:07:22] and i'm so so
[00:07:24] sorry. what happened in
[00:07:27] israel music festival on october 7th was
[00:07:30] horrific and compounded centuries of jewish
[00:07:33] pain.
[00:07:34] what is happening in gaza is a catastrophic
[00:07:38] and unjustifiable and disproportionate. my heart has been.
[00:07:42] broken by the scale of devastation and loss of civilians
[00:07:46] lives, of children's lives, and
[00:07:50] the systemic injustice we're seeing unfold in the west bank cannot be
[00:07:53] overlooked.
[00:08:06] huge wave of Ukrainian drones have been launched at Russia in one the biggest attacks
[00:08:10] the year so far, more than 400... 50 targeted Moscow where at least two
[00:08:14] people were killed in the strikes and apartment blocks and oil refinery was also hid
[00:08:18] in the early morning attacks causing several large fires.
[00:08:22] officials say most the drones were intercepted, ukrainian drones also hit a bus in
[00:08:26] Herson in the Russian controlled region of Ukraine, killing at least two
[00:08:29] people, one them an election official.
[00:08:33] Sunday marks the final day of voting in the Russian parliamentary
[00:08:37] elections. It is the first since
[00:08:41] Russia launched its war on on Ukraine in 2022 and these are
[00:08:44] live pictures coming to us from Moscow, remember president Vladimir
[00:08:48] Putin earlier said the votes would underline the public support for the Russian
[00:08:52] army fighting on the frontlines. Anti-war
[00:08:56] parties have largely been barred from contesting in these elections
[00:09:00] and also for the first time residents of
[00:09:04] Ukrainian regions now under Russian control are also
[00:09:07] voting. There are 3.5 million voters in the four territories of
[00:09:11] Donats, Son and Sapuritia. Keve has called
[00:09:15] the voting in these territories illegal and urged foreign governments and
[00:09:19] international organizations not to recognize the results.
[00:09:23] Show has more from Moscow. One the polin
[00:09:26] stations in Moscow and we are seeing that there are people who
[00:09:30] come here to cost their ballot. Most them do want to do that through
[00:09:34] the paper ballot, some are doing that online through the terminals that are available
[00:09:38] here as well, but we understand that to this moment the overall.
[00:09:43] wide turnout has reached 45% and obviously there are
[00:09:47] expectations that that will be much higher on the final day the voting the
[00:09:51] polling stations open also opened overseas and we understand that
[00:09:54] Russians even in Europe uh in those countries that are considered as
[00:09:58] unfriendly in Russia may beecting their ballet and exercising
[00:10:02] their right but interestingly we are seeing very high turnout in the
[00:10:06] so-called new territories of Russia Herson Zaparia
[00:10:10] Doniesk and the Gansk People's Republic. in those territories, in some them the
[00:10:14] turnout has actually exceeded 70% already, and in the caucasus
[00:10:18] republic like the Chechan Republic, we also seeing the turnout being
[00:10:22] quite high and most the people who come to the... stations, they
[00:10:26] say they don't want to waste the opportunity to cost their ballet, because
[00:10:30] many are saying they don't want their vote to be pre-ordained and
[00:10:33] their vote to be used otherwise than they say. the
[00:10:37] MOD has confirmed that there has been more than h more
[00:10:41] than 1600 Ukrainian drones that were
[00:10:44] intercepted as they were approaching the Russian
[00:10:47] capital. This is one the largest attacks by Ukraine
[00:10:51] against Russia
[00:10:52] and we know that's
[00:10:53] in the Moscow region at least two people. were killed, there have been
[00:10:56] numerous multi-story and private residential houses that were
[00:11:00] hit and more than 20 people were wounded, three children
[00:11:04] among them. the oil refinery in Moscow has also come under
[00:11:08] attack, it has been set on fire and we are hearing a lot more
[00:11:11] from the central election commission had el panfil who is
[00:11:15] saying that uh in some the regions the
[00:11:19] country, those were the election officials that were targeted by
[00:11:23] Ukraine, obviously Moscow. says that this is attempt
[00:11:27] by Ukraine to derail the free choice the Russian
[00:11:30] people, but obviously we understand that this is the first time that
[00:11:34] these elections are taking place in such a situation and
[00:11:38] all the uh new territories of Russia are also
[00:11:41] participating in this vote, so this is closely monitored
[00:11:45] by the observers and also by the Russian officials who are saying they
[00:11:49] do what they can to make sure that people come in safety to cost
[00:11:53] their ballot.
[00:12:00] Regional elections are underway in Germany's Mackelberg,
[00:12:04] western Pomerania and the city of Berlin. Chancellor
[00:12:07] Frederick Murs could find himself a political pickle. Two weeks ago, the far
[00:12:11] right AFD party had its best ever results in the former
[00:12:15] communist East and has been pulling strongly this weekend too.
[00:12:19] Shady
[00:12:24] the left and the... right as voters in the eastern german state of
[00:12:27] meclenburg forperman head to the polls on
[00:12:30] sunday, we need an alternative and that
[00:12:34] alternative is alternative for Germany, the right-wing
[00:12:38] alternative for Germany party is leading, but the center left
[00:12:42] social democrats are hot on their heels.
[00:12:46] I'm pleased that all polls show that a large majority wants to
[00:12:49] continue my work as state premier. We are a strong and beautiful
[00:12:53] state and there's still. many issues that I want us to tackle together, the
[00:12:57] economy, jobs, education. That is why I appeal to all
[00:13:01] citizens to vote SPD.
[00:13:05] The AFD's momentum comes off the back of securing a whopping.
[00:13:09] 43.8% the votes in neighboring
[00:13:12] Saxony Anthol state elections earlier this month.
[00:13:16] That results saw a historic defeat for Chancellor Friedrick
[00:13:20] Murz's conservative Christian Democratic
[00:13:23] Union. "there is lot of frustration, we
[00:13:27] never had such a bad chancelor in Germany, I have to say it
[00:13:30] like that, the AFD has been gaining
[00:13:34] popularity for several years, often capitalizing
[00:13:38] issues surrounding migration, policies include
[00:13:41] closing the border to asylum seekers and re
[00:13:44] migration, meaning sending people born outside of
[00:13:48] Germany back to their original countries and
[00:13:51] mass, but
[00:13:52] how does their attitude and approach land
[00:14:25] so there are no clear cut favorites. Still, the Macklenburg
[00:14:29] Forperman vote is not just about who wins, but
[00:14:32] more of measure the country's overall political
[00:14:36] mood. The AFD's rise and the CDU's
[00:14:39] losses are being linked to Chancelor Mertz's declining
[00:14:42] popularity. He now faces increasing pressure
[00:14:46] from within his party to step side, and
[00:14:50] so Sunday's elections may just determine his
[00:14:53] fate. Edward stashi, TRT
[00:14:56] World. And now let's get some analysis from
[00:15:00] Ulrich Brookner, professor of European Studies at Stanford University
[00:15:04] in Berlin. Uldrick, great to see you, good to have you here with us on TRT World. We'll
[00:15:08] talk about the future of Frederick Murs a bit, but first let ask you something that I've been thinking
[00:15:12] about for the past one hour. See after the end of World War II, I'm sure
[00:15:16] many across Germany and in the region and I would say in the world
[00:15:19] hoped that we would never see the rise the far right in
[00:15:23] Germany again, yet. Here we are today, the
[00:15:26] AFD has made significant gains in the country, just two weeks
[00:15:30] ago, they got a majority, I mean they got,
[00:15:34] it was not a majority, but 44% the votes, which is is... far ahead of any
[00:15:38] other mainstream party in Saxony, and now it is
[00:15:42] expected that they might make gains in these elections
[00:15:45] as well, so my question is, how did Germany get
[00:15:48] here? first of all, we shouldn't
[00:15:51] overestimate the rise of
[00:15:54] alternative of Deutschland or right-wing parties in
[00:15:58] general, when I was a student in the 1980s
[00:16:02] when we had two Germanys
[00:16:05] and we looked into... what kind of country
[00:16:09] is this and what's the social demographic
[00:16:12] situation to answer your question about will it ever happen
[00:16:15] again? and we had this very strong official
[00:16:19] narrative that it will not happen again and we have strong
[00:16:23] institutions when we have checks and balances and there's a lot
[00:16:27] of civic education, but Paul's also
[00:16:30] showed that the mindset of lot of people is pretty
[00:16:34] authoritarian and Germany wasn't a diverse.
[00:16:37] society, because only with pluralism and diversity
[00:16:41] you learn to embrace the greatness of living with others
[00:16:45] and get inspiration and innovation, and this has
[00:16:49] not happened in East Germany, and the
[00:16:53] connection with the system and the identification with
[00:16:57] the rules and the procedures and the institutions the Federal Republic
[00:17:01] of Germany isn't as strong in the east as it is
[00:17:05] in places where I grew up Bavaria in the
[00:17:08] western part the Federal Republic, so it's one thing to
[00:17:12] just officially announce it, and it's another thing
[00:17:16] to have mindset of people that could be
[00:17:20] tapped under conditions of social media and
[00:17:23] miscommunication and emotionalizing
[00:17:27] campaigns to a degree where we do not openly
[00:17:31] discuss what would be the best thing for Germany or you as a
[00:17:35] German citizen, but
[00:17:36] it is much more... about alternative facts,
[00:17:40] different reality and triggering
[00:17:44] emotions to create wave that populist
[00:17:47] could serve into office. All right, correct me if I'm wrong, this did
[00:17:51] not happen all of sudden, it happened gradually. What do
[00:17:55] you think is the main driving factor behind
[00:17:59] this mindset? There is no single
[00:18:03] driving factor. On the one hand, any government,
[00:18:07] no matter. if it's run by mats or by different
[00:18:10] party that addresses the massive
[00:18:13] list of reforms both domestically and the
[00:18:17] challenges from outside would need to do
[00:18:20] unpopular things that an open
[00:18:24] society and a system in which you can freely say what you
[00:18:28] want would lead to pretty bad
[00:18:31] support rates for whoever is in power because
[00:18:35] it is unpopular to cut expense. to shift
[00:18:38] priorities, to make the country more resilient, there
[00:18:42] are many, many things that are coming from
[00:18:46] outside like high energy prices due to russians full scale
[00:18:50] invasion in ukraine or what is happening in Iran, so
[00:18:54] lot of
[00:18:54] it isn't homemade, but the previous government
[00:18:57] also postponed investment which
[00:19:01] now pile up and make it extremely complicated to
[00:19:05] finance all these necessary infrastructure. investments
[00:19:08] to become strategically more autonomous from the United
[00:19:12] States, to deal with the competitiveness problems with
[00:19:15] China, so there's a long list, it's kind of a perfect storm that if it
[00:19:19] would be one crisis after the other, a government could
[00:19:23] potentially handle it, but if you struggle with six or
[00:19:27] seven major challenges at once, you do need to
[00:19:31] do unpopular things and that fires back, and this is primarily
[00:19:35] why Chancelor Frederick Murs has approval ratings are extremely low,
[00:19:39] in fact he had to cancel his upcoming trip to the United
[00:19:42] Nations General Assembly in New York, and that brings me to the question, what
[00:19:46] does the future hold for Frederick Murs? Well, if it
[00:19:50] would be so simple by replacing one head by
[00:19:54] another, and then Germany would sail into a brighter
[00:19:58] future, then we could do it, but we live
[00:20:01] a situation in which the problems don't go away by
[00:20:05] simply replacing a person potentially communicates
[00:20:09] better, there's also lot to blame him for why he
[00:20:12] has such low popularity rates, but I don't
[00:20:16] personally think that A, there is candidate who
[00:20:20] currently would want to take his job, because as I
[00:20:23] said, it is not a mission in which you gain
[00:20:27] much, and on the other hand, it will be complicated
[00:20:31] to find enough support within a coalition, and Germany doesn't
[00:20:35] have majority voting system, so it's not like a presidential
[00:20:39] system that the winner takes it all, you need to coordinate
[00:20:42] conflicting positions, and in the end you need a compromise
[00:20:46] candidate, and I currently don't see anyone doing it, so
[00:20:50] even if the result today will not be great for the
[00:20:54] CDU, it will certainly not be as devastating
[00:20:58] as two weeks ago in another part of East
[00:21:01] Germany, mats will stay in office, I usually don't
[00:21:04] make bolt forecast, but in this case I think we won't
[00:21:08] see different chancellor in the coming weeks. fascinating
[00:21:12] insights, professor, thanks very much for joining us here on TRT
[00:21:16] World, I really appreciate your taking out the time, thanks for having me.

[00:21:40] button. For this canyon mother of two, the
[00:21:44] switch to electric induction cooking has slashed her daily
[00:21:48] fuel costs. The stove. also allows her to prepare
[00:21:51] hot meals safer and faster inside her
[00:21:55] home, without the hazards of toxic smoke that
[00:21:59] contributes to about 85000 deaths every
[00:22:03] year on the continent, when i compare it with the charcoal it
[00:22:07] is cheaper, because like a day when i was using the
[00:22:09] charcoal, find that i'm using around about $1 us with the
[00:22:13] charcoal per day, and with this one, when i buy a token of
[00:22:17] 80 us cents, it lasts me the second
[00:22:20] day, to make clean cooking alternatives
[00:22:24] accessible, manufacturers like b use
[00:22:27] carbon finance and pay as you go plans to heavily
[00:22:31] subsidize upfront retail costs. the
[00:22:35] Nairobi based company says it has distributed more than
[00:22:39] 7.3 million stoves across 11 African
[00:22:42] countries. Build in computer chips, track
[00:22:46] cooking data in real time through GSM allow.
[00:22:50] the company to sell verified carbon credits to
[00:22:53] international investors to fund the discount.
[00:22:57] only way that clean cooking is going to scale on the continent
[00:23:01] is through carbon project finance
[00:23:04] and so it's
[00:23:05] a great modelments can earn revenue from it, we earn
[00:23:09] revenue, customers get an amazing product, they would never get
[00:23:13] unless they had that subsidy that's brought by carbon project
[00:23:16] finance. in june, africa secured
[00:23:20] million dollars in clean cooking financial commitments,
[00:23:24] according to the international energy agency, but
[00:23:28] critics argue that building an entire green energy
[00:23:32] transition on volatile carbon markets poses a
[00:23:35] massive risk for the continent. if we depend
[00:23:39] holy on carbon credits to support the
[00:23:42] transition, it will be extremely slow,
[00:23:46] and it will not happen at the pace that we need it ' The other
[00:23:50] issue for carbon markets is before you can trade on the
[00:23:54] carbon market, you need to build the asset. Back at Mary's
[00:23:58] home, her old charcoal stove sits outside
[00:24:02] next to piles of fuel still used by her
[00:24:05] neighbors. And while policy experts debate on the
[00:24:09] future of carbon finance, millions of families
[00:24:13] across the continent cannot afford the upfront
[00:24:16] costs needed to make the clean energy switch.

[00:24:22] World. The Democratic Republic the
[00:24:26] Congo is rolling out an Ebola vaccine for health workers. Around
[00:24:30] 2000 professionals directly involved in the fight against the virus are
[00:24:33] set to receive the jab for new Ebola is strain. It is part of a
[00:24:37] study to measure the effectiveness the new
[00:24:40] immunization. More than 3,600 people
[00:24:44] have died in the current epidemic. In
[00:24:47] Nigeria, Africa's biggest refinery hasso. its doors to investors,
[00:24:51] billionaire Alico Dangote is seeking to raise 1.6 billion
[00:24:55] US dollars in the continent's biggest initial public offering or
[00:24:58] IPO, and it is already drawing huge interest.
[00:25:02] Kubra Akkoach has the story: a chance to
[00:25:06] own a piece of one of Africa's biggest businesses,
[00:25:10] shares in Alico Dangode's giant oil
[00:25:14] refinery recently went on sale, giving Nigerians
[00:25:18] a stake a business that... has already transformed the
[00:25:21] country's fuel market. now we are owning back our Nigerian
[00:25:25] oil, so I believe the group investing in that group is
[00:25:29] lifetime opportunity, being, imagine being a part
[00:25:33] owner of something that is Nigerian that will grow, the
[00:25:36] $1.6 billion dollar share sale is the
[00:25:40] largest initial public offering in the African continent
[00:25:44] and in the history of Nigeria. It's also country's first
[00:25:48] fully digital IPO. that retail
[00:25:50] investors, several investment apps crashed
[00:25:54] as people tried to buy a minimum of 10 shares
[00:25:58] costing around $40. by the end of day one
[00:26:02] we had cleared around 70% the backlog and by the start of business on
[00:26:06] day two we had cleared 100% the backlog and
[00:26:09] now we
[00:26:11] you know are good to go, we've increased our capacity just
[00:26:15] by you massive orders of magnitude. Africa's
[00:26:18] richest man says the aim is to make ownership accessible
[00:26:22] to ordinary nigerians. now we're looking at what do we
[00:26:26] create? what do you want to really create? what you want to
[00:26:29] create is the likes of amazon, of
[00:26:32] Microsoft, where people bought these shares for next to
[00:26:36] nothing, and now those shares have become
[00:26:39] something big. The refinery has shaped Nigeria's fuel
[00:26:43] market since it began operation in 2024, helping
[00:26:47] the country that once relied heavily on imports to
[00:26:50] produce more of its own. It can process 700 thousand
[00:26:54] barrels of oil a day with Dangode planning to more than
[00:26:58] double that to 1.4 million barrels a day by 2020.
[00:27:02] nine: the company also plans to launch a massive refinery
[00:27:06] plant of Kenya's coast, linking it to the East African
[00:27:10] market, but despite the excitement, investing
[00:27:14] is still out of reach for many Nigerians, we are trying to
[00:27:18] survive, it's a good development, but it's
[00:27:22] not for for the poor, for poor people like us,
[00:27:26] but if you have money you can invest in it, but for we we
[00:27:30] are trying to survive, keep it going. "the IPO
[00:27:33] values the refinery at around $49 billion dollars, more
[00:27:37] than twice what it cost to build, while Dangode is still
[00:27:41] set to control 87% the company, for
[00:27:45] investors buying now, the real question is, if Dangode
[00:27:48] can deliver on his company's share value. Cubra

[00:33:11] This is Malawi, the country known as the warm. part
[00:33:15] of Africa due to its friendly local culture, landlocked
[00:33:19] between Zambia, Tanzania and Mozambique, it is a place of open
[00:33:22] plateau's, forested highlands and one of Africa's
[00:33:26] great lakes. Lake Malawi supports fishing communities and
[00:33:29] extraordinary biodiversity. Its national park is UNESCO world
[00:33:33] heritage site, renowned for hundreds of species of colorful
[00:33:37] sichlet fish, most them found nowhere
[00:33:40] else.
[00:33:47] "the capital le Longway is Malawi's administrative and political
[00:33:51] center. It brings together government institutions, expanding
[00:33:54] neighborhoods, busy markets and the quieter green spaces
[00:33:58] woven through the city. Beyond the capital, agriculture remains central
[00:34:02] to the country's economy and daily life, but much of it depends on
[00:34:05] rainfall, leaving farmers exposed to
[00:34:09] increasingly uh frequent dry spells and
[00:34:12] floods." "
[00:34:23] you see this area here was occupied by houses, the whole area here
[00:34:27] from up the and people are gone. cyclones ed and
[00:34:31] freddy cause deaths and widespread damage, showing how a country
[00:34:34] responsible for only very small share of global emissions
[00:34:38] can face some the climate crisis's most serious
[00:34:41] consequences. as a government we know and ' are
[00:34:45] aware the issues of climate change and what we are doing
[00:34:49] now is to make sure that Malawi is resilient, we have to build
[00:34:52] resilient amongst our small holder farmers. Malawi
[00:34:56] is also working towards a different future. its national development
[00:35:00] vision places agricultural commercialization, industrialization and
[00:35:04] urbanization at the center of its ambitions, and its latest
[00:35:07] climate plan aims to cut emissions by as much as
[00:35:10] 54% below projected levels by 2014,
[00:35:14] while strengthening resilience from solar-powered agriculture to renewable
[00:35:18] electricity and battery storage, the country is testing how cleaner
[00:35:22] energy can support that transformation. anoher is that balance
[00:35:26] between development and climate resilience more urgent than
[00:35:29] agriculture. here in celima district, one farming community is
[00:35:33] testing whether the same sunshine that's beating down in their
[00:35:36] fields can also provide the power that's needed to keep them
[00:35:40] productive.
[00:35:44] this fields offer a glimpse of what farming in Malawi could become,
[00:35:48] water can be pumped onto crops when rainfall is unreliable,
[00:35:52] allowing farmers to cultivate more land and potentially produce
[00:35:56] beyond a single rainy season, and the energy moving that
[00:35:59] water now comes from the sun. initially before this project
[00:36:03] came in uh they were using much the grid
[00:36:07] electricity so they had to pay much the bills which
[00:36:10] was not sustainable for the people. this is the lafu rice
[00:36:14] irrigation. in Silima District, it's owned by the
[00:36:17] government,
[00:36:18] but it's run by local water users association representing about
[00:36:21] 425 small holder farmers. The scheme
[00:36:25] has 182 hectares. is of irrigable land, but project
[00:36:29] organizers say farmers have been unable to use all of that area
[00:36:33] effectively because the cost of powering its irrigation system.
[00:36:37] at first we had a problem here because uh when
[00:36:40] pumping water are using what electricity, now electricity was
[00:36:44] very expensive to farmers to the extent that
[00:36:48] we couldn't afford to pay money
[00:36:52] electric system abuse. three large electric pumps had already been installed
[00:36:55] here under earlier. European Union supported
[00:36:59] program, but according to the project brief, operating them with
[00:37:02] electricity from the national grid was too expensive. Now a
[00:37:06] partnership involving the German agency for international
[00:37:09] corporations energizing development program and the
[00:37:13] global energy alliance for people on planet is introducing
[00:37:16] another option. These pumps are very important because it helps
[00:37:20] as a farmer we are pumping the water from here going to the our
[00:37:24] field there, like before we are just ' we
[00:37:27] just uh receiving the water for water season now, but
[00:37:31] once is once they put those pumps there so it helps
[00:37:35] us to to to farming maybe thrice per
[00:37:39] year because the irrigating but we are just get getting water from here
[00:37:43] going to the our field there so those pumps are very
[00:37:46] important before this project uh we were using the
[00:37:50] escom electricity you know and once the GS to
[00:37:54] bring those projects now we're using the the solar
[00:37:57] the solar pannos there, so it helps us because to pay
[00:38:01] the electricity for the ESCOM was very expensive, now we
[00:38:05] are because now are using the the pan solar panels there so for us it's
[00:38:09] easy so maybe we our harvest was less but
[00:38:13] now will be higher
[00:38:15] so the technology here is not creating water nor kind of protect
[00:38:18] farmers if the water source itself runs dry what it is doing
[00:38:22] is removing one major obstacle which is the cost of electricity needed
[00:38:26] to move that water onto the field, we can no longer
[00:38:30] now rely on rainfield agriculture, so we are
[00:38:34] concentrating irrigation to complement red fed
[00:38:37] agriculture.
[00:38:47] the project reflects much wider challenge. Malawi's government
[00:38:51] says the country's agriculture remains overwhelmingly dependent on
[00:38:55] rainfall. it estimates that almost 408 thous
[00:38:58] hectares are suitable for irrigation, but by 2023
[00:39:02] only around 149,000 hectares had been developed.
[00:39:06] the government also acknowledges that the expansion of smallhold
[00:39:09] irrigation has been slower than growth in privately managed
[00:39:13] schemes. in malawi, the food security situation of 2
[00:39:17] million farming households is on the line as result the in of
[00:39:21] phenomenal. ineyo
[00:39:23] panatsogosin.
[00:39:27] Chifuwa
[00:39:28] mumalira
[00:39:34] achichitika,
[00:39:39] anawa ndipo anawo
[00:39:40] chinani,
[00:39:44] dry spells and becoming
[00:39:48] more frequent making
[00:39:49] irrigation increasingly
[00:39:50] important
[00:39:57] to recover enough money to maintain the infrastructure over
[00:40:00] time,
[00:40:01] that makes the way lifu is managed as important as the
[00:40:05] technology itself, the farmers association must be able to operate the
[00:40:09] system, collect sufficient fees and finance repairs
[00:40:12] after the original project support ends, the ref
[00:40:16] irrigation scheme is is owned by the Malai government but managed
[00:40:20] by the farmers, so the government
[00:40:24] give it to the farmer so that they can manage it, so everything that you see on.
[00:40:27] if the irrigation scheme there, the
[00:40:31] pumps that you see there and the rice ming that you see here, it's all
[00:40:35] managed by the farmers, they pay for their own maintenance,
[00:40:39] ideally
[00:40:41] but the way they managed that the farmers they have got an annual fee which
[00:40:45] they pay uh for the operations the
[00:40:49] of the the cooperative, the operations the uh rice
[00:40:52] irrigation scheme and is from that fee which they use to manage the
[00:40:56] operations. like paying for electricity, paying for the maintenance the pumps
[00:41:00] and there, so that's how it is managed. lifu is part of a wider
[00:41:04] 4 million dollar AG energy program that aims to benefit more than
[00:41:08] 5,00 farmers across Malawi. the opportunity here is to
[00:41:12] use clean energy to make irrigation more affordable, bring more land
[00:41:16] into production and give farmers greater protection from unreliable
[00:41:20] rainfall. we have quite a number of projects under this
[00:41:23] program uh, it is assisting our farmers a lot.
[00:41:27] especially in the rice skins in Salima, we also have
[00:41:30] energy projects in Chirazulu, there are about four or eight
[00:41:34] districts that are covered, you know, it has helped our farmers a lot
[00:41:38] in terms of not just... food security, but for a small
[00:41:42] horder farmers, they're actually changing their mindset to
[00:41:45] say, we need to be commercial, they are also
[00:41:49] earning incomes especially our women and the youth,
[00:41:53] because that is the call of our population in terms of
[00:41:57] small horming. meanwile, getting the water onto the fields is just
[00:42:00] beginning. once the rice is harvested, farmers still need an affordable way to
[00:42:04] process and prepare it for sale, and here in lefu, solar
[00:42:08] energy is part. in that stage
[00:42:10] too.
[00:42:21] Rice grown here in Selima can now be milled and packaged within the same
[00:42:25] farming community. That gives local farmers access to an important stage
[00:42:29] the rice value chain, not only growing the crop, but preparing
[00:42:33] it for sale. And the machinery doing that work is powered by solar
[00:42:37] energy. This milling facility operated by the lefuor. rice cooperative
[00:42:40] processes rice for cooperative members as well as for farmers in
[00:42:44] the surrounding communities. project organizers say the facility has been equipped with
[00:42:48] a 36 kilowatt peak solar system and 50 kilow hours of
[00:42:52] battery storage to power its milling and packaging operations. the
[00:42:56] opportunity here goes beyond replacing one source of electricity with
[00:43:00] another. if solo can reduce the costs of running this machinery,
[00:43:04] farmers can gain more affordable access to local processing. the important
[00:43:08] question is whether those operating savings are being passed to people bringing
[00:43:12] their rice hair. according to figures supplied by the project, the
[00:43:15] charge for milling a 50 kilogram bag of rice has fallen from
[00:43:19] approximately $2.20 to
[00:43:21] $1.50, reduction of around 30%. that's the
[00:43:25] report to change in the milling fee. whether it produces meaningful
[00:43:29] improvement in farmers overall earnings will depend on how much rice
[00:43:33] they process, the other production costs and the price they receive when the
[00:43:37] rice is sold. before for processing it ' almost
[00:43:41] 50 bikes you were doing before almost um per
[00:43:44] day, but now once you are using now the solar system
[00:43:48] yeah now it's almost
[00:43:52] 250 bs per day and before maybe we are not
[00:43:55] allowing the community to come here and using it but now we're using the
[00:43:59] community is also coming here to use the the rice meal there because we're
[00:44:03] using the solar solar system yeah i like r
[00:44:07] because uh it's a catch crop yeah
[00:44:10] we we make money for rice and also it's it's a food group again
[00:44:14] from uh mayais we can after me we got rice here in
[00:44:17] Malawi. Malawi's latest national climate plan aims to reduce
[00:44:21] post harvest losses in priority agricultural value chains by
[00:44:25] 30%. the lifu mill does not achieve that national
[00:44:29] target by itself but reliable local processing could form part the
[00:44:33] wider effort to move crops through the supply chain more
[00:44:36] efficiently. the refue irrigation scheme itself um
[00:44:40] has got a membership of 465 farmers as it is right
[00:44:43] now um and
[00:44:46] 54% of those farmers are women which means
[00:44:50] that like when you look at the
[00:44:53] green rice fields there expect that
[00:44:57] 54% owning those plots are
[00:45:00] women uh and therefore the impact of this is not just
[00:45:04] about like to the men that we have interviewed here but also the
[00:45:08] women that are part and pass of... are the ownership of those uh
[00:45:11] rice rice plots and therefore we expect that I
[00:45:15] think this is a far reaching impact
[00:45:18] across all I think when you're talking about the gender um impact
[00:45:22] of this particular project I think it's it's it's it's that because majority
[00:45:25] the the majority of the farmers uh
[00:45:29] owning the the plots are women the wider ag energy program is
[00:45:33] intended to benefit more than 5000 small hood of farmers across Malawi
[00:45:36] through solar powered irrigation milling called. storage and other
[00:45:40] agricultural equipment, that figure covers the national program, not this
[00:45:44] facility alone. fully food, the long-term test will be whether the cooperative can
[00:45:48] maintain the solar equipment, the battery and milling, machinery
[00:45:52] and finance repairs and replacement components long after the original
[00:45:56] project support
[00:45:57] ends.
[00:47:52] can i get your perspective on something, the UN environmental program released some
[00:47:56] really startling uh reporting recently talking about
[00:48:00] that us overshooting overshooting it 1.5
[00:48:03] degree target that was set in the paris accord, are you
[00:48:07] concerned about this possible 1.8 at
[00:48:10] least degree celsius of global warming as
[00:48:14] it pertains to agriculture in Malawi,
[00:48:18] yes we are very much concerned and as a country we have
[00:48:21] national response to elnino, we have national response plan
[00:48:25] and agriculture is at the center of it where we are planning
[00:48:29] to encourage irrigation, we are rehabilitating all
[00:48:33] our irrigation schemes to make sure that they are up and running, we are also
[00:48:37] distributing uh drought resistant seeds
[00:48:41] to our farmers like millet, cassava, potato and
[00:48:45] sogam, so we are encouraging our farmers to also do
[00:48:48] smart agriculture where we are saying our farmers
[00:48:52] we under the farm input subsidy program we
[00:48:56] are encouraging our farmers to actually make their
[00:49:00] own uh organic mu so organic
[00:49:03] fertilizer I should say so that is a countrywide kind of
[00:49:07] training because we know organic fertilizer keeps
[00:49:10] moisture so that's what we are encouraging and we want
[00:49:13] that to be part the agriculture
[00:49:16] culture.
[00:49:35] Malawi already generates much of its electricity from urival energy.
[00:49:39] In 2023, renewables, well, principally hydrocarbons account
[00:49:43] for more than 90% the country's electricity
[00:49:46] generation. Now, this facility is designed to help
[00:49:49] Malawi use more of
[00:49:51] that clean electricity. the grid needs it. The Kenengo
[00:49:55] Battery energy storage system in lilong way was commissioned
[00:49:58] in July 2026. It's Malawi's first standalone
[00:50:02] utility scale battery connected directly to the national
[00:50:06] grid and was developed by the electricity supply corporation of
[00:50:09] Malawi or Escom in partnership with the government and the global
[00:50:13] energy alliance for people and planet which says it provided $20 million
[00:50:17] dollars in grant financing. We have commissioned this
[00:50:20] system and we are sure. that now have a stable
[00:50:24] supply of power to the nation. the system has maximum output of 20
[00:50:28] megaws and an energy storage capacity of 40 megw
[00:50:32] hours. nominally that's enough stored energy to discharge
[00:50:35] its maximum output for approximately 2 hours, although
[00:50:39] its actual operation will depend on grid requirements and technical
[00:50:43] limits. this uh best project does not require
[00:50:45] any um continuous invest, it's not like a diesel
[00:50:49] where you have to keep buying diesel, this one is be using. the power that is
[00:50:53] excess during the day and discharging during the night, it's actually making
[00:50:57] the grid more efficient, any case they were going to cartel that power during the day,
[00:51:01] but now we are saying let's keep it somewhere, we'll use it later
[00:51:04] in the evening. this battery does not generate electricity, its opportunity
[00:51:07] lies in giving grid operators greater control over
[00:51:11] electricity that has already been produced. the system is designed to
[00:51:15] store power when it is available and release it when demand
[00:51:18] rises, supply falls so the grid requires rapid support.
[00:51:23] That flexibility matters because clean generation alone does not guarantee a
[00:51:26] stable electricity supply. Malawi depends heavily on
[00:51:30] hydropower which the country's climate plan identifies as vulnerable to
[00:51:34] changing rainfall. the good has also struggled with instability and the
[00:51:37] restriction octailment of renewable generation when the
[00:51:40] system cannot safely absorb all the electricity
[00:51:44] available. diesel powered backup generation has been used
[00:51:48] to help cover supply
[00:51:49] gaps. Ndikanakonda

[00:51:59] biziness. Running
[00:52:03] power system is like
[00:52:07] uh let's say three four people pushing a vehicle
[00:52:11] up hill, now when
[00:52:15] one the persons out of those
[00:52:16] four um their energy has reduced
[00:52:20] or the they have moved out, you expect that that vehicle
[00:52:24] can come roll down the
[00:52:27] hill, either the remaining three have to
[00:52:31] increase their energy to continue pushing it or...
[00:52:35] another person has to jump in to make sure that they support, otherwise the
[00:52:38] vehicle roll down and run down all these
[00:52:42] people, that's what is called
[00:52:44] national wide system shut downown that okay,
[00:52:48] maybe there's cloud cover, the power on the solar has
[00:52:52] reduced, then it means all the other generations have to continue
[00:52:55] pushing the load, if no any other
[00:52:59] power source comes in very quickly then the
[00:53:03] whole system can shut down, so this is what the battery energy storage is doing to make sure
[00:53:07] that when there's cloud cover on the solar, when there's some intermittens and the like,
[00:53:11] the battery energy storage can come into make sure that the the supply
[00:53:15] corporation can continue supplying power to the nation. ascom
[00:53:18] officials say canango is unlocking about 100 megaws of
[00:53:22] renewable generation that was previously constrained. that does not
[00:53:26] mean this 20 megaw battery creates another 100 megaws of
[00:53:30] electricity. no, it means scom expects storage and
[00:53:34] improved. management to allow more power from existing
[00:53:37] renewable generators to enter the system instead of being
[00:53:41] restricted. base has come at the right time, you
[00:53:44] know we had the penetration of number of
[00:53:48] renewal, especially solar, we at 110
[00:53:52] now, 10 has just been added 10 megawatts
[00:53:55] and we had lot of
[00:53:59] instability in the system, but if you look at the generation
[00:54:03] point of view, solar... gives us the least
[00:54:07] cost scenario in in order for us to
[00:54:11] increase generation capacity, so the coming in of b is
[00:54:15] very important in order to improve the
[00:54:18] stability
[00:54:19] for for the system and we researched that the coming
[00:54:23] in the base would increase would help us have
[00:54:27] additional 600 thousand connections both
[00:54:30] industrial and domestic customers. project partners also
[00:54:34] res made that kenengo will prevent more than 10,000 tons of carbon
[00:54:38] emissions annually, partly by reducing reliance on diesel
[00:54:42] generation. that remains a projection. the actual
[00:54:45] emissions benefit will depend on how the battery is operated, how much
[00:54:49] electricity passes through it and which source of power it displaces.
[00:54:53] do you feel as the Malawi is a good
[00:54:56] place with respect to its climate policies? yes,
[00:55:00] i feel good, um, i'm satisfied that it is to the
[00:55:04] right track. buse there's a lot that's happening on the
[00:55:07] space, there's a lot of support from from donors
[00:55:11] and and people around us and of course this
[00:55:15] government's effort to make sure that we move
[00:55:17] towards electricity sustainability
[00:55:21] so I'm so excited that as we move towards the next
[00:55:24] conference it is to have story to tell
[00:55:28] a positive story to the world you you clearly
[00:55:32] feel a sense of pride in this ' have you spoken to
[00:55:36] people since this project began, how are they
[00:55:40] feeling, are they getting more power? how does this improve
[00:55:43] their lives? are you hearing from people on the ground? yes, yes, that's
[00:55:47] for sure, that was the first thing that we had to do, because
[00:55:50] you know before the commissioning the project we made so much
[00:55:53] noise, we made sure that, what do you mean you made so much noise? we
[00:55:57] made so much noise because there's this huge expectation on the on the
[00:56:00] ministry, we expect us to provide them energy, they much needed
[00:56:04] energy. yeah, so any any injection or
[00:56:08] any intervention that is brought to to to us,
[00:56:12] obviously we get excited, so you we we we
[00:56:16] checked with people and the all excited, so after
[00:56:19] the the commissioning the project to have been checking with people, the feedback that is
[00:56:22] coming is that as there is reduction in the in the
[00:56:26] power disruptions during big hours, buse we
[00:56:29] are able now to store the power that is that is there from
[00:56:33] these renewable sources then what is to to to to push
[00:56:37] that to the great during peak hours so at this the the
[00:56:40] blackouts have reduced somehow during peak hours thank you so much for your
[00:56:44] time
[00:57:00] thank
[00:57:01] you b so it success kind of be measured simply by the size the
[00:57:05] installation, the evidence will be whether it reduces renewable energy
[00:57:08] catailment, lowers diesel use, strengthens the grid
[00:57:12] and produces a measurable improvement in electricity
[00:57:16] reliability.
[00:57:59] surrounded by stars now,
[00:58:01] am I going to interview at some point? am I interviewing you today? yeah, yeah,
[00:58:04] but the fun,
[00:58:06] nice, all
[00:58:10] right, is this gonna be your first interview?
[00:58:13] no, oh, you're a superstar, yeah, no, no,
[00:58:17] life, this is life's tricky part,
[00:58:21] yeah, are you nervous? no, that's it, thank you,
[00:58:24] yeah, thank you, very easy, right? yeah, very
[00:58:26] easy.
[00:58:32] thank you, that's
[00:58:35] crazy.
[00:58:56] This is a drill, I repeat, this is a drill, get in the
[00:59:00] closet,
[00:59:04] so sometimes hiding might be the best choice, sometimes running might be the best
[00:59:08] choice, sometimes you're going to have no choice but to defend yourself, I don't
[00:59:12] feel safe at school, nobody feels safe, I
[00:59:15] think that some the teachers. students should
[00:59:18] have pistol
[00:59:19] or something hidden in the classroom to protect
[00:59:22] the students. i don't want to have to carry a gun, i don't want to have to
[00:59:25] have a bulletproof vest, but the times in which we live
[00:59:29] are dictating that. storyteller, the bad
[00:59:33] guy on TRT
[00:59:35] World.
[01:00:15] You're watching TRT World, I'm
[01:00:17] ch for. than the headlines: Iran has
[01:00:21] laid out what it wants from the US before the restart of any
[01:00:24] negotiations on ending their standoff and the conflict threatening the
[01:00:28] region. Security chief mond rezali says seven conditions have been
[01:00:31] delivered via Qatar, as president Donald Trump prepares to meet Gulf leaders on the
[01:00:35] sidelines the United Nations General Assembly in New York next
[01:00:39] week. The Saudi led Coalition says it has
[01:00:43] intercepted huuti ballistic missile targeting Riyadh and is stopped a...
[01:00:47] attack on several southeast cities, but the huti say their missile and drones
[01:00:51] hit sensitive sites in the capital and aramku facility in yanbu causing
[01:00:55] large fires. an Israeli strike against
[01:00:59] a civilian vehicle in Gaza City has killed at least one person, this raised the
[01:01:03] death toll on Saturday alone to fight.
