[00:00:01] a World.
[00:00:16] You're watching TRT World, I'm Hazm Seaker,
[00:00:18] a reminder of our main headlines. Iran's central military Command says
[00:00:22] the US is planning for another round of attacks. Trump says he
[00:00:26] has a big decision to take in the coming days. Iran has vowed to...
[00:00:30] palliate against any US attack saying it will
[00:00:32] of not hesitate to target US
[00:00:34] in bases and interests in the
[00:00:36] of region and countries who support the
[00:00:38] attacks. Our positions are
[00:00:41] completely clear, rational and non-negotiable.
[00:00:45] Our messages and conditions
[00:00:47] of have been conveyed explicitly to the other side through
[00:00:52] in intermediaries, of and the enemy knows full well that the path of deception
[00:00:55] and unilateral imposition is
[00:00:57] a closed. Israeli
[00:01:00] of warplanes have bombed several locations in southern Lebanon. They targeted the towns
[00:01:04] of Beni Hayan and
[00:01:06] of Alcantara in the Merjayun district
[00:01:09] of the country's south. Israel repeatedly breaches the US bank
[00:01:13] security deal with Lebanon. Yemen's
[00:01:16] ansarul lahuthis continue to trade fire and accusations with
[00:01:20] Saudi Arabia. The Iran back group claims Saudis launched
[00:01:24] of 28 of strikes across the country since
[00:01:26] me Saturday. It comes after black smoke was seen in the Saudi capital. the
[00:01:31] of airport and Israeli strike
[00:01:35] against the civilian vehicle in Gaza City has killed at least one person, this
[00:01:39] raised the death toll on Saturday alone to five people killed
[00:01:43] of in of a other attacks
[00:01:43] of in Jabalya, New Zealand and Gaza
[00:01:46] City. A huge wave of Ukrainian
[00:01:49] drones were launched at
[00:01:51] of Russia in one
[00:01:52] of the biggest attacks
[00:01:53] of the year so far, more than 450 targeted Moscow where
[00:01:57] at least two people were killed in strikes a part. blocks an
[00:02:01] oil refinery was also hid in the early morning attacks causing
[00:02:04] several large fires. Ukrainian drones also hit a
[00:02:08] bus in Kerson in the Russian controlled region of Ukraine
[00:02:11] can killing two, one
[00:02:13] of them an election official. German chancellor
[00:02:17] Friedrich Metz's
[00:02:19] of of CDU
[00:02:19] of party is facing its worst election defeat in 77
[00:02:22] years. Exit
[00:02:24] of poll show, it suffered heavy loss in the Mecklenburg Western Pomerania
[00:02:27] region. Merce's party failing to... achieved the 5% threshold needed
[00:02:32] of to enter parliament. He was upstaged by Germany's far right
[00:02:35] of AFD party searching ahead to gain 37%
[00:02:39] of the regional vote. This is the AFD's second state win
[00:02:43] this month. The news continues here on TRT
[00:02:47] World after the
[00:02:47] newsmakers.
[00:02:58] of
[00:03:05] As Israeli
[00:03:06] in elections approach, will extremist
[00:03:08] of agendas
[00:03:10] a prevail. far right national security minister Itamar bengavir is campaigning on
[00:03:14] the removal of almost 2 million gozons. But is his
[00:03:17] proposal of mass illegal displacement, what isrei's
[00:03:21] want? I'm Andreas
[00:03:23] of Hanky and today's newsmaker is
[00:03:25] Israel.
[00:03:31] of
[00:03:35] of
[00:03:42] For as much as the genocide in Gaza has become devisive issue
[00:03:45] internationally, within Israel, most are
[00:03:48] of on the same page.
[00:03:50] of Across much
[00:03:50] of the political spectrum, they generally agree that Israel's military
[00:03:54] campaign and its mass killing of civilians is justified
[00:03:58] in self-defense, but elections just a month away, more
[00:04:02] extremist
[00:04:02] of agendas a are emerging,
[00:04:04] of including the disengagement 7-10 plan. It
[00:04:08] sets out to get 1.86 million gazans to
[00:04:12] leave their homes over the next seven years, effectively eliminating
[00:04:16] Gaza's indigenous Palestinian population. So is
[00:04:20] this the kind of
[00:04:21] of platform that will win votes, or will Israely start to identify their
[00:04:25] own
[00:04:26] of extremists as an existential threat? Here's a look.
[00:04:30] Israel's election is
[00:04:31] me on the horizon and Gaza is firmly in the firing line,
[00:04:35] becoming a central political wedge for far right figures
[00:04:39] within Netanyahu's coalition government. With the
[00:04:43] election set for October 27, prominent
[00:04:46] hardliners are outdoing each other with
[00:04:49] of extreme statements against Palestinians
[00:04:51] of in bid to woo potential voters. But Israel's
[00:04:55] national security minister, Itamar Benqvira has
[00:04:58] arguably gone further. than anyone else, ben gavir's
[00:05:02] disengagement 7-10 plan has made the emptying
[00:05:06] of Gaza of
[00:05:07] of Palestinians a critical campaign
[00:05:11] of pitch. We are: talking about our goals, 25000
[00:05:15] gassans leaving in the first year is possible, it is possible.
[00:05:19] 1.1 million within 3 years and within seven years we can
[00:05:23] reach almost 1.9 million who will immigrate.
[00:05:26] it is possible, it is realistic, it is in our hands, it
[00:05:30] is within our ability. he claims it would involve legal
[00:05:34] migration roots, financial assistance and agreements with
[00:05:37] countries willing to receive Palestinians. ben Gavier
[00:05:41] frames it as not forced expulsion, but as a
[00:05:44] choice, but critics argue that calling such departures
[00:05:48] voluntary does not take into account whether people living amid the
[00:05:52] destruction of war can really be said to have a free
[00:05:55] choice. his words give many garzans pause for concern,
[00:05:59] who remain defiant at the prospect of being
[00:06:02] moved.
[00:06:05] we will die on the land of gaza. we will not leave it, we will not leave it,
[00:06:09] godwilling, because we are stead fast, we were born. it, we lived in
[00:06:13] it, and our grandfathers and fathers, we were born in it, our
[00:06:17] children grew up in it, so
[00:06:18] it is very difficult to think of leaving, however, others regard
[00:06:22] it as little more than an election publicity stunt, which will never come to
[00:06:26] pass. i believe that this proposal, which is
[00:06:29] displacement, is nothing more than an electoral card to win over
[00:06:33] the Israeli water at the ballot box, but i think that
[00:06:36] Israel hasn't had enough, three years of war, killing and
[00:06:40] destruction and is... of expelling the native people from
[00:06:44] their lands in order to seize the land, however, I believe
[00:06:48] this proposal will not be carried out and will not
[00:06:51] happen, but the wider political picture is more complex
[00:06:55] and unclear. Recent polling suggests that there may be no
[00:06:59] clear path forward for a ruling governing coalition
[00:07:03] as centrist, right and right-wing forces compete for
[00:07:06] influence. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his liquid
[00:07:10] party have been in power. for years, but in recent
[00:07:14] years it's bowd to right-wing populism to bolster itself in
[00:07:18] coalitions with other parties. liquid's popularity
[00:07:21] plummeted soon after the October 7 attacks by
[00:07:25] Hamas. Bezalel Smotrich, another high-profile
[00:07:28] right-winger, Israel's finance minister and head the
[00:07:32] religious Zionism party, advocates for total
[00:07:35] annexation the occupied West bank, which they regard
[00:07:39] as belonging to Israel since antiquity. he has
[00:07:43] also spear-headed Israel's expansion of illegal
[00:07:47] settlements into the occupied west bank with the aim of
[00:07:51] shattering any realistic prospect of two-state solution,
[00:07:55] and collectively, right-wing parties in Israel are
[00:07:58] attempting to block Arab parties from running at all.
[00:08:02] Reuters has reported that anti-Netanyahu parties
[00:08:06] may inagregate outp pro Netanyahu
[00:08:09] parties, but no individual party. currently
[00:08:13] stands to win majority its own. The upcoming election
[00:08:17] isn't just vote on Bencavier's proposal empty Gaza
[00:08:20] within a decade. It's referendum on what kind of future
[00:08:24] Israel will stand for and whether the last three years
[00:08:28] of upheaval, security operations and its war on
[00:08:32] Gaza are something Israeli see as part
[00:08:36] their ongoing
[00:08:37] future.
[00:08:42] Joining me now to make sense the Israeli campaign underway and whether
[00:08:46] extremist platforms are appealing to voters are from Tel Aviv,
[00:08:49] political analyst and contributor to HTS Akiva
[00:08:52] Eldar, from Boston, public policy fellow at the American
[00:08:56] University of Beirot, Rami Khuuri, and from London,
[00:09:00] historian and professorial research associate at sowas,
[00:09:03] khiim Brishi. Thanks all so much for being with me, akiva, I'll
[00:09:07] start with you, you know, my understanding so far, and obviously I'm not in
[00:09:11] Israel, is that disagreements among
[00:09:14] candidates are mostly over potential coalition building
[00:09:18] and
[00:09:18] you know power distribution, not ending the genocide
[00:09:22] or changing the approach to the war on Gaza or stopping
[00:09:26] settler violence, is that what you're saying as well? well,
[00:09:30] Andrea, I'm afraid that this is not top
[00:09:33] the agenda of the
[00:09:37] current campaign, election campaign, it
[00:09:40] is, between the
[00:09:44] israelis, the minority on the liberal
[00:09:46] side, even not
[00:09:50] the center right headed by
[00:09:54] Eisencott and
[00:09:56] Bennett, the the thing is
[00:09:59] that if you look at the headlines the newspapers
[00:10:02] today, Israel is victim of
[00:10:06] smear campaign was the
[00:10:10] documentary that got ' the broke
[00:10:14] the record of standing ovation for 25 minutes
[00:10:17] NASA, which
[00:10:20] exposes the
[00:10:23] military. the Israeli
[00:10:26] IDF standards, moral standards
[00:10:29] and the mainstream
[00:10:32] media, let alone the politicians are
[00:10:36] focusing on the
[00:10:40] fact that Israel is victim of
[00:10:43] antisemitism and this
[00:10:47] is on top of everybody's
[00:10:51] agenda, so um, what what is
[00:10:55] happening in Gaza is is
[00:10:58] hardly in the front pages
[00:11:01] the mainstream newspapers, the tabloids are not touching
[00:11:05] it, and everybody is talking
[00:11:08] about how we
[00:11:11] can defend and contain
[00:11:15] the criticism on the conduct of
[00:11:18] Israel, and the question of
[00:11:21] b and smutrich whether there are legit. itimate or
[00:11:25] not is very marginal, Andrea. Okay,
[00:11:29] I, I understand that NASA, the film that
[00:11:32] premiered at war that received the standing ovation at Venus. I can
[00:11:36] understand that that is the headline today, but in the end the
[00:11:40] campaign will will continue, and those, different agendas
[00:11:44] will will bring the attention the
[00:11:47] Israeli, bring the attention the campaign back to the Israeli people.
[00:11:51] So let ask Heim, if you think what Ben Gavier and the other kind of more.
[00:11:55] extremists are doing is actually just
[00:11:58] campaigning or do people like
[00:12:02] it truly see his plans empty out
[00:12:05] Palestine as something he can execute and
[00:12:09] is that what is Israel can rally
[00:12:12] around? i think it's a
[00:12:16] mistake to concentrate on ben and smart
[00:12:19] rich and they are very extreme
[00:12:22] but so is the rest of Israeli s society
[00:12:25] and akiva eldar who is
[00:12:29] very senior um correspondent of
[00:12:33] arats has been looking at them for years and i
[00:12:37] agree with him that actually this is not on
[00:12:41] the agenda of any the parties,
[00:12:44] not even the Arab parties for that matter, so
[00:12:48] gaza is not on the agenda because the
[00:12:52] Israeli media and the Israeli politician have taken
[00:12:56] it the agenda with the willing
[00:12:59] support the Israeli population. there
[00:13:03] isn't in my judgement a strong
[00:13:07] minority or even a weak minority of
[00:13:11] Israelis against the genocide. the tel aviv
[00:13:14] university polls in
[00:13:17] 2024 have shown
[00:13:20] that 97% the respondents
[00:13:25] of course only Jews were asked to respond
[00:13:29] agreed that Israel is doing the right thing in
[00:13:33] Gaza and the poll was run
[00:13:36] twice in March and in
[00:13:39] April or May, I don't remember the second
[00:13:42] date, 2024, and the
[00:13:46] result was the same, there was 1% difference, so
[00:13:50] I think that basically Israelis do not want to
[00:13:53] know... what in their name the IDF is
[00:13:57] doing in Gaza and when they are
[00:14:00] told by Israelis, like the filmmakers
[00:14:04] of NASA, what is going on there, in the
[00:14:08] words of 24 officers that actually
[00:14:12] ran the destruction machinery the
[00:14:15] genocide, they want to arrest
[00:14:19] them to expel them, and
[00:14:22] now hundreds of people have... posted that
[00:14:26] they want to kill them, so this
[00:14:29] is wrong to concentrate on itamar
[00:14:33] bengavir as if he's alone
[00:14:36] trying to kill the people of Gaza and empty
[00:14:39] Palestine, the Israeli political system,
[00:14:43] all of it is behind what is
[00:14:47] happening and Israeli public is behind
[00:14:51] what is happening, I i think I want this to be very...
[00:14:55] clear. Okay, let ask Rami then, do you
[00:14:58] agree with Him there? Do you think that
[00:15:00] effectively other parties are could be
[00:15:04] even making the exact same types of plans as as Disengagement
[00:15:08] 7-10, they're just doing it more quietly and masking it
[00:15:12] better? Or are those extremists truly
[00:15:15] extremists, nobody's taking disengagement 17
[00:15:19] seriously, or are they ignoring that it is
[00:15:23] very dangerous undercurrent that? could become reality if
[00:15:27] these people come to power again at the end of
[00:15:30] October? well, I agree
[00:15:34] with my two colleagues broadly in what they're saying, "I
[00:15:37] think there's a deeper trend here that we're
[00:15:41] seeing, which I certainly see,
[00:15:45] and that trend is that what we have seen in
[00:15:48] Israel, even before the Gaza
[00:15:51] genocide, in the last seven, eight, nine
[00:15:54] years, clearly 10 years, you've seen a
[00:15:58] consistent drift to the right,
[00:16:02] expressed in public opinion, voting,
[00:16:05] settlements approval, denying the
[00:16:09] Palestinians more and more their rights, squeezing them out a slow
[00:16:13] motion ethnic cleansing process, this has been going on for years and
[00:16:16] years and Netanyahu's success has been to
[00:16:20] galvanize these groups and bring them into the
[00:16:24] mainstream the political leadership, and then get the
[00:16:27] Americans under the incompetent and
[00:16:31] racist American government led by Trump now to support this, but
[00:16:35] what this really shows... is that two historic
[00:16:39] trends are now kind of peeking, one historic trend
[00:16:43] is the nature the zionist process, zionism wants to
[00:16:47] state for the Jews, they started talking about that in
[00:16:50] 1840 and then Herzel and then balfore and
[00:16:54] then 48, so they succeeded, they achieved a
[00:16:58] state for the Jewish people, and that state has now become
[00:17:01] extremely right-wing and and and
[00:17:04] genocidal, and with the silent. or
[00:17:08] acquiescence the majority of of
[00:17:11] Israelies. the second trend parallel and part of it really, they're not two
[00:17:15] trends. the parallel trend is the
[00:17:19] acquiescence and active participation the United States, Great
[00:17:22] Britain and other western powers in the genocidal campaign,
[00:17:26] annexation of land, expansion of settlements,
[00:17:30] they make some little gestures now and then we won't
[00:17:33] take imports from a from settlement.
[00:17:37] but that's really nothing compared to the support like just getting
[00:17:41] 40,000 tons of bombs sent as a gift
[00:17:45] from the United States of Israel, so the trends of colonial
[00:17:48] violence against Palestinians and zionist
[00:17:52] violence against Palestinians are now one trend and they've merged
[00:17:56] together and that's why they're not, they're not on the campaign, but I
[00:18:00] mentioned just one last thing, there's a third trend which strikes me as
[00:18:03] really surprising and puzzling why it's not discussed in the
[00:18:06] elections.
[00:18:14] Turkish president has arrived in New York City to
[00:18:18] attend the 81st United Nations General Assembly. These are live
[00:18:22] pictures. During his visit he is expected to address the general
[00:18:26] assembly on Tuesday and hold bilateral
[00:18:29] meetings with several world
[00:18:31] leaders. Let's bring in our correspondent Andrew Hopkins who
[00:18:35] joins us from the Turkish. house in New
[00:18:38] York. Andrew, what are we expecting
[00:18:42] from president
[00:18:42] Erdogan?
[00:18:49] well, president Erdogan, he touched down at JFK airport in New York just
[00:18:53] over an hour ago, and as you can see at the moment he's arrived at Turkish
[00:18:57] House here in the center of New York, this is the building
[00:19:00] where Turkish diplomats are based while they're representing the
[00:19:04] country at the United Nations, which is just... across the road
[00:19:08] actually from where we are, so everything is very close at
[00:19:11] hand, and as you mentioned, the Turkish President is expected to address
[00:19:15] the United Nations General Assembly high-level
[00:19:19] week on Tuesday, this is a week when all the leaders of
[00:19:23] all the 193 countries which are members the United
[00:19:26] Nations, come here, they make speeches,
[00:19:29] they talk about the issues that are important to them, what are the problems
[00:19:32] and how they should all be dealt with, now another part of this
[00:19:36] week is that These leaders who attend get to have head to head
[00:19:40] bilateral meetings with some the other leaders as well, and President
[00:19:44] Erdouan is no exception to that. We're not sure of
[00:19:47] his exact excuse me, movements at the moment,
[00:19:51] except for one which looks pretty likely because the US
[00:19:55] ambassador to Turkey Tombarac has said he expects a meeting on the
[00:19:59] sidelines between president Erdwan and President Trump and that's going
[00:20:03] to, I think arouse quite a bit bit of interest not just in
[00:20:07] Turkey. but also
[00:20:08] in the international community, because these two countries have the two
[00:20:12] biggest militaries in NATO, and yet the United States has
[00:20:16] imposed sanctions on the Turkish defense
[00:20:19] industry, and there is a will, a sort of
[00:20:22] motivation between the two countries, now I spoke to, I've spoken to
[00:20:26] officials from both countries, and they want to get rid these sanctions as soon
[00:20:30] as possible, so that they can resume this cooperation
[00:20:34] in the months and the years ahead, and that's something I think a lot of people... will be
[00:20:38] looking at when that meeting takes place to see whether there's
[00:20:41] any movement on that issue, aside from that,
[00:20:45] there's also likely to be a meeting involving the president
[00:20:48] the... business council, which is regular annual
[00:20:52] event when he comes here, and there's also a high-level meeting
[00:20:56] organized by the UN secretary general Antonio
[00:20:59] Gutierez, um, which is about the issue of climate
[00:21:03] change,
[00:21:03] and of course the Turkish government, Turkia is going to be
[00:21:07] hosting the UN's climate change summit Cop 31 in
[00:21:11] Antalia later this
[00:21:12] year. Okay, yeah, we're looking at those live
[00:21:16] pictures, uh, President Erdogan talking to...
[00:21:21] passes by some dignitaries,
[00:21:25] it seems is flanked by aids and
[00:21:28] ministers, as you say, we don't have the exact
[00:21:31] schedule, but we do have some
[00:21:34] broad idea and the broad strokes of what to
[00:21:38] expect, i just want to take one the things that you said, Andrew, and i want to sort of drill
[00:21:42] a bit deeper, if that meeting does
[00:21:45] happen, as tom baracad suggested,
[00:21:49] between president and President Donald Trump,
[00:21:53] one would assume as well that the
[00:21:56] war with Iran would be high on the agenda as well and
[00:22:00] any potential Turkish role in bringing that to an
[00:22:03] end?
[00:22:09] Yeah, absolutely, because we know that Turkey along with number of other
[00:22:13] countries, including Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Egypt, have been
[00:22:17] involved for several months now since quite early. in the
[00:22:21] conflict, talking to Iran, talking to the United States
[00:22:25] to try and bring it all to an end, pry try and find a resolution
[00:22:28] which is appropriate or acceptable
[00:22:32] for both these countries, I think those discussions are still going
[00:22:36] on behind the scenes, Hakam Fedan, the Turkish fore minister, he actually gave
[00:22:40] an interview to local TV channel just a couple of days ago before he
[00:22:43] came here to New York and he said there are some new proposals on the
[00:22:47] table between the United States and but he didn't go into details,
[00:22:51] but I'm sure that work is continuing behind the
[00:22:54] scenes. I think what's also worth looking out for over the next few days
[00:22:58] and in particular when the Turkish president makes his speech at the
[00:23:02] United Nations is, I suspect he may this time,
[00:23:06] for the first time since the uh the start the Gaza conflict,
[00:23:10] Israel's attacks more than uh two years ago, nearly three
[00:23:14] years ago now, is that he will talk about what is happening in the
[00:23:18] Red Sea, in particular... uh with the hoothies, with Saudi
[00:23:21] Arabia's concerns about regional instability
[00:23:25] being caused by these new attacks by the hoothies on Saudi Arabia,
[00:23:29] because remember in the in the past few weeks we've had
[00:23:33] new military pact signed between Turkey,
[00:23:37] Saudi Arabia and Pakistan in which they have agreed to support
[00:23:41] each other in these kinds of times and Hakan Fedan during that same
[00:23:45] interview he said that they are willing to give Saudi
[00:23:49] Arabia some report on some technical issues and
[00:23:53] the Turkish government has been a little bit more vocal
[00:23:56] addressing the activities the hoothis in
[00:23:59] recent days, it certainly hadn't really spoken openly about them
[00:24:03] very much earlier on in the Gaza conflict, particularly when it
[00:24:06] was uh carrying out attacks on other ships, ships
[00:24:10] which the hoothies said were Israeli or linked to
[00:24:14] Israeli interests, but I think we might hear a bit
[00:24:18] more strid and uh comments from the Turkish
[00:24:22] President during that speech uh on Tuesday when he makes it because the
[00:24:26] change in the geopolitical circumstances and that
[00:24:29] agreement that has been made with Saudi Arabia yeah and that's a good
[00:24:33] point because as you say this was
[00:24:35] probably the firmest comment that
[00:24:39] we had heard yet from Hakan Fidan showing solidarity
[00:24:43] with Saudi Arabia and condemning those Hothy
[00:24:47] attacks as as diplomatic. correspondent, would you say that
[00:24:51] that was the first sort of clear sign the agreement
[00:24:54] manifesting in policy, as it plays
[00:24:57] out?
[00:25:03] yeah, it seems that way. um, i can feed on the ticket from
[00:25:07] minister, and also, i think Pakistan have been saying
[00:25:11] this alliance is pretty similar to
[00:25:15] article 5ive the NATO alliance charter, which
[00:25:19] effectively say: is that if one member is attacked then all the other
[00:25:22] countries should aid it in some way. now the interesting thing
[00:25:26] about the NATO charter is that although it says
[00:25:30] other countries have to come to the members, the member in
[00:25:34] question's aid, um, it doesn't actually say
[00:25:38] how, so they don't actually necessarily have to get involved
[00:25:41] militarily, there could be some intelligence support, there should could
[00:25:45] be some logistic support, and we don't know
[00:25:49] exactly. that applies for the Mecca defense
[00:25:53] pact, as it has become known, um, the exact
[00:25:56] text the agreement hasn't yet been released to the public, and it's
[00:26:00] still, I believe, needs to be approved by the
[00:26:04] Turkish Parliament and maybe at that point we may get better
[00:26:08] idea of what's in it uh, but certainly if the the terms are
[00:26:11] similar to the NATO charter, then
[00:26:15] there is some kind of obligation for the countries to support each
[00:26:19] other, the countries involved, so Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, but if
[00:26:23] it is the same, there's no obligation to start directly
[00:26:27] fighting with the other side, there may be other ways of of
[00:26:31] helping them, and I think... That's probably what's happening in this case,
[00:26:35] because they will probably just review each situation its
[00:26:38] merits and will react or provide help in the most
[00:26:42] appropriate way they think is possible, and clearly so far they're
[00:26:46] not really being that forth coming about what
[00:26:49] exactly that help is going to be. Right, yeah, we
[00:26:53] see Han fidan next to President
[00:26:57] Erdogan right now, for those of us, for those who have just joined us
[00:27:00] and who missed. "the beginning the conversation we had with with
[00:27:04] Andrew, president Erdogan has arrived in New York, he's going into Turkish
[00:27:08] House, which I would assume, Andrew, from the shot that we
[00:27:12] see of you is just behind you, your outside uh Turkish house, and for
[00:27:16] those who missed the little housekeeping that you did for us, what are we
[00:27:19] expecting today, and then when do we expect President Erdoan to
[00:27:23] speak and address the general
[00:27:25] assembly?"
[00:27:32] "well, there's not much we're expecting today after his arrival, he's just had
[00:27:36] a 10-hour flight uh from Turkey, so I
[00:27:40] think he's probably going to have rest once he's uh met some the
[00:27:44] supporters who
[00:27:44] have been waiting for him outside the Turkish house here in New York near
[00:27:48] the United Nations building. Tomorrow uh,
[00:27:52] we believe there's likely to be few these head-to-head meetings
[00:27:56] with uh the Turkish President and other leaders who are here to
[00:27:59] attend the UN General Assembly again." that
[00:28:03] list, those meetings tomorrow haven't been officially released,
[00:28:06] then I think when we get onto Tuesday, when the high level week
[00:28:10] at the United Nations really gets underway earnest, we've got the Turkish
[00:28:14] President speech then, and I think we're going to see quite a
[00:28:18] increase in the number of people is going to be meeting on the sidelines and as I
[00:28:22] mentioned uh, it seems likely that the meeting with Donald
[00:28:25] Trump will take place as well, it seems Tuesday is the most
[00:28:29] appropriate at the moment, although again not officially... announced,
[00:28:33] but they're both due to make their speeches on the same day, so it make the
[00:28:37] most sense, because they're both round and about in the same building
[00:28:41] on that day. um, wednesday, more
[00:28:45] uh, head to head meetings we're going to have in wednesday and thursday
[00:28:49] this uh the meetings with the uh us turkish
[00:28:52] trade council, also the high level uh
[00:28:56] climate change meeting which has been organized by the UN secretary general
[00:29:00] Antonio Gutierres, level representation expected
[00:29:04] there by Turkey, because of course it is playing host to
[00:29:08] the UN climate change conference, cop 31 in Antalia later
[00:29:11] this year. All right, Andrew, super, thanks so much
[00:29:14] for that update, you will no doubt bring us up to speed
[00:29:18] if
[00:29:18] there are any further developments from New York, but for now we
[00:29:22] appreciate everything that you've
[00:29:24] shared.
[00:29:29] Now, Iran's military says it has received. information that the
[00:29:33] United States is preparing another attack, warning that any
[00:29:37] new strikes would trigger sustained retaliation against American
[00:29:40] bases and interests across the region. At the same
[00:29:44] time, Tehran says it has sent Washington new set of conditions for
[00:29:48] restarting negotiations, including the release of frozen Iranian assets
[00:29:52] and an end to the US naval blockade. Iran also
[00:29:56] says the straight of Hormus will remain closed until its conditions are
[00:29:59] met. As President Donald Trump prepares to meet.
[00:31:03] high for these negotiations given the history
