[00:00:09] A deadly attack on Riyad Airport kills at least
[00:00:12] of 12 people and injures more than 300, including Saudi and
[00:00:16] US
[00:00:18] of Nationals. Hello,
[00:00:19] of welcome to TRT World, live from Istanbul, with me John Paul
[00:00:23] Davis, also ahead on the program, Donald Trump calls
[00:00:26] for a leadership change
[00:00:28] in in
[00:00:29] of Ukraine after president Zelensky criticizes his move
[00:00:32] ease sanctions on Russian
[00:00:34] diesel, thousands march
[00:00:38] across five continents
[00:00:39] in a coordinated day of global action in solidarity with
[00:00:43] Palestinians and
[00:00:47] police in India detained thousands of
[00:00:49] of protesters taking part in major
[00:00:52] of demonstration against the country's election
[00:00:54] commission.
[00:01:14] a but first
[00:01:15] in this hour, the Saudi Civil Aviation authority say that at least
[00:01:19] 12 people have been killed and more than 300 injured in the
[00:01:23] of latest attack on the King Khalid international airport in Riad. Well, the
[00:01:27] statement did not assign blame, but it did, go to say that the
[00:01:31] decease included four Saudi citizens, two
[00:01:34] Bangladeshis and one citizen each from Palestine, the
[00:01:37] United
[00:01:38] of States,
[00:01:39] of Egypt, in of Jordan, Syria and Sudan. Well, the strike on
[00:01:43] Riyadh's main airport was the third this week, and it's
[00:01:46] prompted US president Donald Trump to consider whether to join the
[00:01:50] fight against the Ansarulahutis in
[00:01:53] Yemen. Well, several countries,
[00:01:57] including the US and Germany have advised. their citizens to avoid
[00:02:01] the king Khalid international airport. All flights have been either
[00:02:04] cancelled
[00:02:05] or diverted. Well,
[00:02:07] in a statement, Saudi's civil aviation authority say that it's not
[00:02:11] known when flights will resume and that airport
[00:02:14] operations have been temporarily suspended until the damages have
[00:02:18] been
[00:02:20] of
[00:02:21] of assessed. Well, the Saudi
[00:02:22] a Led coalition say that it has also intercepted a missile
[00:02:25] southeast of Riyad where the Prince Sultan Airbase is
[00:02:29] located. Meanwile on the ground in Yemen, fighting between Saudi
[00:02:33] backed government forces and the His continues.
[00:02:36] Yemen's army say that it has struck more than 1900 hoothi
[00:02:40] targets in just 24 hours. Mohammed Alatab reports
[00:02:44] now from the capital Sanai. The conflict in
[00:02:48] Yemen is widening with both sides expanding their bank of targets
[00:02:52] and civilians paying the price. The enemy armed forces announced over
[00:02:56] 1,900 strikes across various fronts in 24
[00:02:59] of hours. under operation Yaman's done, spokes person, colonel Majid
[00:03:03] Anuzi said the strikes hit weapons depart a cams,
[00:03:07] command center, reinforcements and supply vehicles,
[00:03:10] neutralizing more than
[00:03:12] of 1,150 huti fighters and destroying or damaging
[00:03:16] over 180 vehicles, he also mentioned that ground forces
[00:03:20] advance
[00:03:21] of further and retaking positions, hothy media reported
[00:03:24] coalition strikes on Sanha, airports and telecommunication towers
[00:03:28] in Saada plus strikes on Tiz and Hajjah
[00:03:32] hotis said their forces targeted reinforcements from
[00:03:36] Aden
[00:03:36] in along the southern coastal road inflicting heavy losses on
[00:03:40] IRG's forces according to the group later
[00:03:43] of on on they also distributed footage of dr
[00:03:47] strikes on what they described as Saudi gatherings in
[00:03:50] Kahbob and alwaziah the internationally recognized
[00:03:54] government confirmed losses inflected on hothy fighters in
[00:03:57] almaset and
[00:03:59] of said it's control of alaradi and swaidi camps near
[00:04:03] Dubab, the southern giant
[00:04:05] of of brigades said they repelled the hothy attack north of Dubab
[00:04:09] a airport with Arab
[00:04:10] in Coalition air support. The houthies did not confirm or deny the
[00:04:14] news as clashes intensify toward Babilmandeb hot
[00:04:18] of spot neither side intends to abandon observers w
[00:04:22] the conflict could threaten international navigation or ignite
[00:04:26] a wider war. After 12
[00:04:28] a years of relentless. Yemenis continue to
[00:04:32] bear its brant. Well, as the US secretary
[00:04:36] of state, Marco Rubio
[00:04:38] in condems the attack saying
[00:04:40] a that
[00:04:40] a an American citizen lost their lives
[00:04:43] in that attack. Mike William Lawrence, a former
[00:04:47] US diplomat spoke to us about this, and he says that
[00:04:50] it is looking now more likely that the US will get involved in the
[00:04:54] conflict. There's offensive aspects and
[00:04:58] defensive aspects
[00:04:59] of on the...
[00:05:00] a offensive side the hooties have started to figure
[00:05:03] out
[00:05:04] um building on successes that the Iranians have had
[00:05:08] of and the Russians have
[00:05:09] had using similar technology um they figured out how to evade the
[00:05:13] defenses and on the Saudi side um there
[00:05:17] is issue of um very expensive weaponry that's needed
[00:05:21] to defend and depletion
[00:05:24] of this the weaponry that's available and so
[00:05:28] they may not be deploying the maximum number of very expensive
[00:05:32] weaponry to uh to defend themselves. i know that the US
[00:05:35] is rushing to get more weapons um to
[00:05:39] Saudi Arabia and that be may be one the reasons why Trump is
[00:05:43] actively assessing whether the US will join the frey right now,
[00:05:46] because as you say, if Saudi can't sufficiently defend itself, then the
[00:05:50] US might need to go on offensive uh in Yemen in
[00:05:54] Northern Yemen in order to help defend Saudi Arabia, and the more success the
[00:05:58] Houties have the greater uh the likelihood that Trump will get
[00:06:01] involved, you know in Trump's mind he he one the reasons he
[00:06:05] was uh happy to take the promise from the Houthies that they wouldn't attack American shipping
[00:06:09] as a way to not connect the conflicts further,
[00:06:12] "these attacks on Saudi Arabia are now reconnecting the
[00:06:16] conflict in a way that makes it somewhat inevitable that the
[00:06:20] US will get more involved. well, the
[00:06:23] UK's maritime organization say that it has received
[00:06:27] report of fire on board an outbound tanker in the straight of
[00:06:30] homos after it was struck by an unknown
[00:06:33] projectile. well, this news comes after several ships anchored
[00:06:37] near Razal Kaima in the United Arab Emirates, not far from
[00:06:41] the straight were..." instructed to leave, now it's not known who
[00:06:45] broadcast that message telling them to leave or why the vessels were told
[00:06:49] to move, but earlier on Saturday, Iran's revolutionary
[00:06:52] guard said that a tanker transiting the waterway along what it calls
[00:06:56] an unauthorized route exploded after it hit a
[00:07:00] mine.
[00:07:24] Well President Donald Trump says it is time for Ukraine to get new
[00:07:28] president, that follows criticism from his Ukrainian
[00:07:32] counterpart a US diesel deal with Russia. Vladimir
[00:07:36] Zelensky warned that that deal will only enable Russia's
[00:07:39] war.
[00:07:40] The agreement is expected to lead. the release of more than
[00:07:44] 300,000 tons of Russian fuel to the
[00:07:47] US and global markets and it comes ahead of critical
[00:07:51] mid-term elections, while Trump blames the Ukrainian president
[00:07:55] for the high diesel prices. Zelinski could
[00:07:59] have settled this war many times, many, many
[00:08:02] times, and he cho,
[00:08:04] he chooses not to, very difficult. We said you can do
[00:08:08] whatever you want to Russia, don't hit the refineries, because that's a world.
[00:08:12] problem that's caused and he wants to make problems for the
[00:08:16] world, he wants to make problems for our farmers, our ranchers
[00:08:20] with diesel fuel, because Russia supplies a
[00:08:24] large portion the diesel fuel throughout the world. you know what I
[00:08:27] suggest? I suggest they get new leader
[00:08:31] who can make deal, and I think it's time for Ukraine to get new
[00:08:34] president, now from the U.S. president Donald Trump
[00:08:38] who's just arrived back in Washington DC on Air Force 1.
[00:08:42] called the other day, he'd like to see settlement, president
[00:08:46] Putin would like to see settlement strongly, and look, he's he's
[00:08:50] freeing up lot of oil for the world, okay, that's a good
[00:08:53] thing,
[00:08:54] at at by the way, a very low price, are you surprised that democrats
[00:08:58] have embrace socialism and uh socialism
[00:09:02] so openly, democrats have embraced that, are you surprised?
[00:09:05] well, I think that the democrats have become the socialists of America,
[00:09:09] and I think that they ought to get rid the name democrat buse it's no
[00:09:13] longer accurate, but you have a combination of socialist and
[00:09:17] communist, and I think frankly the word democrat
[00:09:21] is a or democrat as I call it, but I think it's
[00:09:25] a very inaccurate name, democrat is a very, they're really
[00:09:29] socialist, they become socialist, and they're being dragged much further
[00:09:32] left than socialism, have
[00:09:36] you spoken, have you spoken to senator John Federman about
[00:09:40] becoming republican, you like? see that, I'd love to see it, I think he's
[00:09:44] great, uh, it's going to be hard for him to get
[00:09:48] the nomination as democrat, but I'd love to have
[00:09:52] him as republican. John Federman's a great guy, with
[00:09:56] magnificent parents, I got to speak to his parents about
[00:10:00] something, and they were great, the mother, the father, he's
[00:10:03] a, he's a very solid person, he's a person, he's smart
[00:10:07] and all that, but he's got great common sense, but if you look
[00:10:11] at the polls, he does. better as republican than he does is
[00:10:14] a democrat you saw the attack
[00:10:18] on on Ryon airport
[00:10:20] he was killed like dozen people what do you think about that? i think it's
[00:10:23] terrible. well you're going to find out, see, but
[00:10:27] I think it's terrible,
[00:10:29] were the Saudis able to defend themselves, well they're
[00:10:33] able to defend, look, the Saudis are good fighters, but I think the
[00:10:37] attack was terrible thing, you just chose your new press
[00:10:41] secretary, uh, what stood out to you about Katie and what do you hope that she
[00:10:45] brings to the table? well, I've watched Katie who is
[00:10:49] uh, taking the place of Caroline, you know how fabulous
[00:10:52] Caroline was, Caroline's... going to have some
[00:10:56] very big success, I believe, I know, buse she's very
[00:11:00] outstanding. I think Katie is going to do a great job. I've known Katiy
[00:11:04] a little bit, but I've watched her lot on television,
[00:11:08] and she does very good job and she believes in us and she believes in what
[00:11:12] we're doing, which is making America great again.
[00:11:16] She really does. Thank you for that question. Federal deficit
[00:11:19] last year, last fiscal year, huge brillion. So there
[00:11:23] you go, that is Donald Trump. the US president, returning from
[00:11:27] rally to Washington DC on Air Force One, speaking
[00:11:31] to the gathered press, as often he does and
[00:11:34] jumping around from one question to
[00:11:37] the next, but let's pick up on what he had to say specifically about this
[00:11:41] diesel deal with Russia, and to do so I'm joined by David Doros, she's
[00:11:44] associate professor at the neareast South Asia center the National
[00:11:48] Defense University, joins us uh from Washington DC where the president is
[00:11:52] currently speaking from, uh great. have you on this
[00:11:56] evening, David, we we we heard then Donald Trump say that
[00:12:00] Vladimir Putin would like to see settlement and
[00:12:03] has freeed up lot of diesel to the world, which Trump
[00:12:06] describes as as a good thing. It comes just three
[00:12:10] weeks after Trump authorized fresh US sanctions
[00:12:14] nations importing Russian oil and gas. I wonder
[00:12:18] whether this this latest U-turn
[00:12:21] is is Donald Trump's most desperate.
[00:12:25] yes
[00:12:25] yet and is he sacrificing foreign policy on the altar
[00:12:29] of domestic politics where the
[00:12:33] midterms obviously are approaching
[00:12:35] and I wonder whether it just smacks of desperation to
[00:12:37] you? yeah
[00:12:40] I'm not sure to be honest um easier
[00:12:43] measure uh would be to just ban US exports of
[00:12:47] diesel the United States exports diesel um I I I imagine
[00:12:51] one way to fight to look at it positively if you were trying to
[00:12:55] that would be to say, look, there's a global crisis in diesel. um,
[00:12:59] Putin has agreed to sell a small amount of diesel to the U.S. again,
[00:13:03] I don't know why we want it or need it,
[00:13:06] and that there is going to be combined with
[00:13:09] Elninho, sharp agricultural prices in the developing world
[00:13:13] next year, so you wave the sanctions on
[00:13:16] Russian exports of diesel, uh, that allows
[00:13:20] for people in the developing south to have more affordable
[00:13:23] agriculture in... looking to be a really hard year coming up
[00:13:27] ahead. when a superpower always has contending foreign policy issues, so
[00:13:31] in this instance you sacrifice uh the
[00:13:34] Russian uh uh benefit for the uh for
[00:13:38] the um uh global uh poverty benefit,
[00:13:42] but um it's hard to see, we'll see, we'll see if
[00:13:46] these wavers take place after the election um
[00:13:50] and and if it
[00:13:50] is to influence the election, I mean the amount of diesel to the
[00:13:54] U.S. that's being talked about is is very small, it's
[00:13:58] it's uh a fraction of what the United States consumes
[00:14:01] a day, it's not going to make an appreciable difference, and the
[00:14:05] idea that um this will lower prices for the
[00:14:09] election, I think he you know if he really believes that he's he's being seriously
[00:14:12] misled, yeah, which which begs the question, why do it
[00:14:16] in the first place, and and what do you feel, David, are the
[00:14:20] potential implications of giving Russia
[00:14:23] this? economic relief I suppose, or
[00:14:26] enabling
[00:14:27] the their war against Ukraine further, when the likes the EU and
[00:14:31] the UK have reinforced their solidarity with Zelensky in
[00:14:34] Ukraine. Yeah, well Trump, Trump dislikes
[00:14:38] Zelensky, he holds Zelenski responsible for his in part
[00:14:42] for his first impeachment. He doesn't think that Zelinsky set up the impeachment,
[00:14:46] but that Zinski could have made a public statement and would have derailed the
[00:14:49] impeachment, and I mean you saw that amazing spectacle
[00:14:53] of Trump and... ganging up on Zelensky in his first visit to the White
[00:14:57] House, which was really kind of disgraceful.
[00:15:01] So, he, there's no love loss there, but I, I
[00:15:04] do think that again, if Trump wanted to just influence the
[00:15:08] price of diesel in the United States, he just say, okay, we're not going to export
[00:15:12] diesel, and uh, that would have a more immediate effect and
[00:15:16] would be, yeah, more um, condusive for
[00:15:19] US prices, but uh, I think what's possible
[00:15:23] here is just all these. leaders are talking about the
[00:15:26] impending, you you've got shortages of diesel, you've got shortages
[00:15:30] of fertilizer, and you've got Elninho, we might
[00:15:34] see a global spike in food price.
[00:15:38] is uh similar to what we saw in 2009 that really affected
[00:15:41] the the global south and most of this exported diesel is
[00:15:45] is going to go to those countries so you know it's it's quite possible that it's
[00:15:49] just in interest you know different priorities and he's prioritized one thing
[00:15:53] over the other or it's possible that uh uh one the things his
[00:15:57] detractors say is that he's always agrees with the last person he spoke to
[00:16:01] and you know maybe this is just a weird idea that he's decided
[00:16:05] to embrace yeah That's an interesting point, I
[00:16:08] mean it was only less than three months ago that Donald Trump said that the US would enable
[00:16:12] Ukraine to have those patriot air defense missiles, of course he since backed
[00:16:15] away from that pledge, maybe there was something about just watching
[00:16:19] that whole scenario which didn't really ring true
[00:16:23] on reflection, but I do you think he's come full circle with
[00:16:27] this deal um and in terms of his relations with
[00:16:31] with Putin and is he globally becoming not only
[00:16:34] destabilizing but but an isolated figure? and I say globally,
[00:16:38] but but but even at home there, David, in in the
[00:16:41] U.S., well, his his popularity
[00:16:45] ranges are pretty low, um, I don't think they've reached Joe Biden territory,
[00:16:49] but they're low, uh, and a large part of that is because we're involved
[00:16:53] a war that he did not make the case for, he did
[00:16:56] not uh uh prepare people for it, uh, he did
[00:17:00] not uh prepare the military for it, uh, he went in
[00:17:04] with just one element of military power, air power, and uh
[00:17:08] that all that very rarely yields the
[00:17:11] uh uh, it's very seductive for Americans, but it very rarely gives us the success
[00:17:15] that we want, um, going all the way back to the strategic bomber
[00:17:19] offensive in World War II, so um, now he's in
[00:17:23] a war
[00:17:23] that he can't get out of, meanwhile he sees another war that he said he would solve
[00:17:27] within 48 hours of being in the white house, that's dragging
[00:17:31] on and on, um, I don't think he particularly likes
[00:17:33] Putin, uh, I think that he says,
[00:17:35] you know, he he does the businessman's thing. of
[00:17:38] you know not saying anything bad about people or even flattering
[00:17:42] people that he uh wants to cut a deal with publicly,
[00:17:46] but um it is
[00:17:48] it is case you know sometimes because he just trusts the
[00:17:52] bureaucracy, he occasionally goes in these things uh unbriefed
[00:17:56] or he rejects the brief as defeat as the product the bureaucracy, but
[00:18:00] when he promised those patriot missles it was like uh those won't be ready for
[00:18:03] five years,
[00:18:04] I mean there is backlog on making those and this isn't... "they're not
[00:18:08] assembly
[00:18:08] line items, they're artisanl items, so
[00:18:12] you know, he he he allows himself to talk himself into corners, I
[00:18:15] think, and it'll be interesting to see how he gets out of this. I think
[00:18:19] that um, people, you can't really ever speak of an American
[00:18:23] president is being isolated because of America's role in the world, but
[00:18:27] it's certainly clear that uh, world leaders view him as
[00:18:30] mercurial, and uh, I don't think anybody really
[00:18:34] relishes the idea of dealing with it. I mean, you look at some these..." priorities
[00:18:38] he's had, you know, the the whole Greenland thing with the Danes, that could
[00:18:42] have been solved in two days uh without any publicity, so
[00:18:46] there's a lot of odd things that just pop up and and uh
[00:18:49] certainly uh uh he he gets in his own
[00:18:53] way, that's probably the nicest way of phrasing
[00:18:56] it. David, as always, great to have you on TRT, well, thank you for your
[00:19:00] time and your insight, appreciate it, thank
[00:19:03] you.
[00:19:11] Fresh Israeli strikes have hit the Gaza strip on
[00:19:15] Saturday evening, Gaza City and Dar Albala are among those
[00:19:19] areas targeted. Earlier on on Saturday
[00:19:22] at least five Palestinians were killed and eight wounded when an
[00:19:25] Israeli strike hit a gathering of civilians in Gaza City.
[00:19:29] Another Palestinian was killed in separate incident. More than
[00:19:33] 1,400 Palestinians have been killed since the
[00:19:36] ceasefire. took effect in October last
[00:19:39] year, well protesters
[00:19:43] across five continents mobilized for Palestine
[00:19:47] on Saturday a coordinated day of action that spanned
[00:19:51] more than 60 countries. They're all uniting under one
[00:19:55] banner to try and end the occupation, and they're calling for a real
[00:19:59] ceasefire in Gaza. Well, in London, activists march to
[00:20:03] parliament to demand the UK cut their ties with
[00:20:06] Israel. Edwards dashty now
[00:20:09] reports.
[00:20:13] Millions of people marched across the globe a synchronized day
[00:20:17] of action for Palestine. In London, organizers
[00:20:20] say the genocide has to end. We have a
[00:20:24] government which is now making concessions about Palestine, but
[00:20:28] which actually has backed Israel to the hilt, and the demonstration today
