[00:00:14] least 12 and injuring hundreds, the Antharala hooties are
[00:00:18] of being blamed. Donald Trump is deciding if the US
[00:00:21] should now get involved. Hello
[00:00:24] of and welcome to TRT World, live from Istanbul, I'm Yashni
[00:00:28] of Padiachi, also coming up. Time for Voladimir Zelensky
[00:00:31] of to go. The US president
[00:00:33] of calls for leadership change in Ukraine. He's angered at being
[00:00:37] called weak for doing deal to get diesel from
[00:00:39] Russia. Hundreds of thousands in Gaza
[00:00:43] bracing for a harsh winter in makeshift tents with Israel
[00:00:47] allowing in just 17% of shelters
[00:00:50] needed. And thousands of
[00:00:53] of arrests hasn't deterred them. Protesters are heading back out
[00:00:57] in New Delhi. These are live pictures from. the Indian capital where
[00:01:01] protesters say they won't give up
[00:01:04] in until in the election commissioner steps
[00:01:06] down.
[00:01:11] of
[00:01:18] in
[00:01:22] of Saudi of Arabia is shutting down schools in the capital as it
[00:01:25] decides how to respond to a missile attack its main
[00:01:29] airport. 12 people were killed and more than 300 injured
[00:01:34] of in a strike that threatens to further inflame
[00:01:35] a region already on edge over the US war on
[00:01:39] Iran. domestic terminals at King Khalid international
[00:01:42] airport were hit with Saudi Arabia laying the blame on
[00:01:46] the ansarala Hutis from neighboring Yemen. They've been launching
[00:01:50] of attacks on Riyad and Saudi oil facilities in recent
[00:01:54] weeks, but haven't claimed
[00:01:56] of responsibility for this strike. Pakistan's Prime Minister. Abbas
[00:02:00] Shariff would join Turkey in signing the Mecca defense pact in
[00:02:04] August is calling it heinous attack and
[00:02:07] reiterating his commitment to Saudi's security.
[00:02:11] Donald Trump is weighing up a US
[00:02:13] of response. I think it's
[00:02:16] terrible. Well you're going to find out see,
[00:02:20] but I think it's
[00:02:21] of terrible.
[00:02:25] Well, they're able to defend. Look, the Saudis are good fighters, but I think...
[00:02:30] the attack was terrible thing. Meanwhile, in Yemen,
[00:02:34] fighting between Saudi back government forces and the
[00:02:37] a Houtis continues. Yemen's army
[00:02:41] of of says it struck more than 1900 huti targets. Muhammad Al-Attab reports from the
[00:02:44] Capital Sana. The conflict in Yemen is
[00:02:48] widening with both sides expanding their bank of targets and
[00:02:52] civilians paying the price. The Yemany Armed forces announced over
[00:02:55] 1,900 strikes across various fronts in 24
[00:02:59] hours under. operation Yeman's done, spokesperson colonel
[00:03:02] Majid Anuzeli said the strikes hit weapons depart a
[00:03:06] camps command
[00:03:07] of center, reinforcements and supply vehicles, neutralizing more than
[00:03:12] of 1,150 huti fighters and destroying or
[00:03:15] damaging over 180 vehicles, he also
[00:03:18] of mentioned that ground forces advance further and retaking
[00:03:22] positions. hothy media reported coalition strikes on
[00:03:26] Sanha, airports and telecommunication towers in Saada plus strikes.
[00:03:32] said their forces target reinforcements from Aden along the
[00:03:36] southern coastal road inflicting heavy losses on IRG's
[00:03:40] forces. According to the group. Later on on
[00:03:44] the also distributed
[00:03:46] of footage of Draw strikes on what they described as Saudi gatherings
[00:03:49] of in Kahbob and Alwaziya. The internationally recognized
[00:03:53] government confirmed losses inflected on hoti fighters in
[00:03:57] almaset and said it took control.
[00:04:03] the southern giant brigades said the repelled hothi
[00:04:07] of attack north of dubab airport with arab coalition air
[00:04:10] support, the houthies did not confirm or deny the news
[00:04:14] as clashes intensify toward mandab hotspot
[00:04:18] navigation or ignite
[00:04:19] of a of wider war. after 12 years of relentless
[00:04:23] conflict,
[00:04:24] of yemanis continue to bear its brands
[00:04:28] and comeron Yus with more on Pakistan's
[00:04:31] reaction. Pakistani prime minister Shahbas
[00:04:35] Sharief took no time in condemning this latest strike and
[00:04:39] in fact prime minister blamed the hoothi
[00:04:41] of militia for this latest attack, not only Pakistani prime
[00:04:45] minister issued a statement, the foreign office
[00:04:48] also
[00:04:49] of issued detailed statement where they not only denounced
[00:04:53] this attack, but rather termed it as a terrorist attack and
[00:04:57] urged international community that they should...
[00:05:00] unequivocally condemn this heinous
[00:05:03] act, at the same time, the Pakistani side is saying that they
[00:05:07] stand shoulder to shoulder with Saudi Arabia
[00:05:11] and they will... support every measure the Saudi
[00:05:14] government is taking to protect it territorial
[00:05:18] integrity and sovereignty also Pakistan reaterated
[00:05:22] its support for Saudi Arabia under the Makka defense
[00:05:26] pact that was signed in August between Pakistan,
[00:05:29] Saudi Arabia and Turkey, remember last week
[00:05:33] Pakistan also officially confirmed that they have
[00:05:37] deployed additional troops to Saudi Arabia as part the Makka
[00:05:41] defense alliance. However, Pakistani side also made
[00:05:45] it clear that the Pakistani forces under the Makka Defense
[00:05:49] Accord will not cross into Yaman and launch attacks
[00:05:53] against the Hutis. Nevertheless they made it clear
[00:05:57] that as far as the Saudi territorial integrity and sovereignty
[00:06:01] is concerned, Pakistan will go all out and
[00:06:04] provide all possible support to the Saudi
[00:06:08] kingdom. William Lawrence is a former
[00:06:11] US. diplomat and says it's looking more likely the US will get
[00:06:15] involved in this conflict, there's offensive
[00:06:19] aspects and defensive aspects on the offensive side, the
[00:06:22] hooties have started to figure out
[00:06:26] building on successes that the Iranians have had and the Russians
[00:06:30] have had using similar technology, they figured out how to
[00:06:34] evade the defenses and on the Saudi
[00:06:36] side um there is issue
[00:06:39] of very expensive weaponry that's to defend
[00:06:43] and depletion of this the
[00:06:47] weaponry that's available and so they may not be deploying the
[00:06:51] maximum number of very expensive weaponry to to
[00:06:55] defend themselves. i know that the US is rushing to
[00:06:59] get more weapons um to Saudi Arabia and that be may be one
[00:07:03] the reasons why Trump is actively assessing whether the US
[00:07:06] will join the frey right now because as you say if Saudi can't
[00:07:10] sufficiently defend itself then the US need to go on
[00:07:13] offensive uh in Yemen
[00:07:16] in Northern Yemen in order to help defend Saudi Arabia and the more success the
[00:07:19] Hutis have the greater uh the likelihood that Trump will get
[00:07:23] involved. In Trump's mind he he one the reasons he
[00:07:26] was uh happy to take the promise from
[00:07:28] the Houthies that they wouldn't attack American shipping as a way to not connect the
[00:07:32] conflicts further. These attacks on Saudi Arabia are now
[00:07:36] reconnecting uh the conflict in a way that makes it uh somewhat
[00:07:40] inevitable that the US will get more
[00:07:42] involved.
[00:07:55] Donald Trump says it's time for Ukraine to get new
[00:07:58] president. It follows criticism from his Ukrainian
[00:08:01] counterpart a US diesel deal with Russia.
[00:08:05] Voladimir Zelensky has called the move weak and warned it will only
[00:08:09] help Russia's war. The deal is expected to leave. to the immediate
[00:08:13] release of more than 3000 tons of Russian diesel with more to
[00:08:17] come in the months ahead. Trump is trying to drive down record
[00:08:21] diesel prices in the US ahead of next month's mid-term
[00:08:24] elections. Well, I think he should have an
[00:08:28] election, and he could have settled this thing many times. Well,
[00:08:32] I think that Russia would like to make deal
[00:08:36] and we've had it back and forth, but Russia would like to make
[00:08:39] deal, but uh, as I said, "this is something that could have
[00:08:43] been solved many times, but for whatever
[00:08:47] reason Zelinski does not want to make deal.
[00:08:51] Leoni lakani has more from the US
[00:08:53] capital. Well,
[00:08:55] what we're seeing Trump do is essentially trying shift the
[00:08:59] blame from himself and from the White House in the
[00:09:02] administration for the higher diesel and oil prices that we're seeing
[00:09:06] around the world, especially here in the United States, and we've been hearing
[00:09:10] him say these kinds of things recently and..." campaign rallies, he's
[00:09:13] trying to blame Ukraine and Zelensky for these higher prices that
[00:09:17] we're seeing, uh, and when you talk to oil analysts, they say, yes, of
[00:09:21] course uh, the Ukraine Russia war does impact
[00:09:24] prices, but the bigger issue is the fact that supplies have
[00:09:28] been essentially brought almost a stancel from the street of Herm, which
[00:09:32] would point fingers once again at the administration in the Iran
[00:09:36] war, and so what we hear Trump do repeatedly, especially in recent
[00:09:40] weeks, is try and blame Ukraine and for it
[00:09:44] uh and the types of actions we've seen him do in the past few weeks shows that
[00:09:47] he's actually quite concerned about these prices, diesel
[00:09:51] prices uh in the US are up nearly
[00:09:54] 75% since the war began uh and this
[00:09:57] really impacts the heartlands of America, the farming,
[00:10:01] agricultural parts the country that are very important part of
[00:10:04] Trump's base uh and in recent weeks we've seen him
[00:10:07] taking quite a few drastic actions, so last month
[00:10:11] U.S. Congress... passed
[00:10:13] a bill that essentially widened the sanctions on
[00:10:16] Russia, not just that, Trump came out and criticized
[00:10:20] Europeans who were still buying oil from Russia, and
[00:10:24] then he makes his about. turn making making this diesel uh
[00:10:27] deal with Russia in the past day. um, addition
[00:10:31] to that, he has threatened the Europeans, he threatened
[00:10:35] to ban American exports of diesel to
[00:10:39] the Europe, and Europeans responded by releasing some their
[00:10:43] stock piles, trying to add supply to the market, which is what Trump
[00:10:46] wanted. um, he's even waved a fuel tax a different
[00:10:50] type of diesel in the country to try and add supplies. the problem with all
[00:10:54] of this... at the moment is nothing is really shifting the
[00:10:57] prices uh and so all these kinds of measures and all these kinds
[00:11:01] of comments we're hearing from Trump just shows that he's a
[00:11:05] little bit uh desperate and also just very
[00:11:08] concerned about what's happening with the prices and he knows that voters are paying
[00:11:12] attention. David de Rosh is associate professor
[00:11:16] at the near East South Asia center the National Defense
[00:11:19] University. He says Trump could have lowered US fuel prices
[00:11:23] without Russia's help.
[00:11:27] Zolensky, he holds Zolensky responsible for his in part
[00:11:31] for his first impeachment, he doesn't think that Zelinsky set up the impeachment,
[00:11:35] but that Zelensky could have made a public statement and would have derailed the
[00:11:39] impeachment, and I mean you saw that amazing spectacle
[00:11:42] of uh Trump invance ganging up on Zelinski in his first visit to the
[00:11:46] White House, which was really kind of disgraceful um
[00:11:50] so you know he there's no love loss there, but I
[00:11:53] do think... that again, if Trump wanted to just
[00:11:57] influence the price of diesel in the United States, he'd just say, okay, we're not going to export
[00:12:01] diesel, and uh, that would have a more immediate effect and
[00:12:05] would be uh, yeah, more um conducive for
[00:12:09] us prices, but uh, I think what's possible
[00:12:13] here is just all these foreign leaders are talking about the impending,
[00:12:16] you've you've got shortages of diesel, you've got shortages of
[00:12:19] fertilizer, and you've got Elninho, uh, we might
[00:12:23] see - uh, global spike in food
[00:12:26] prices uh similar to what we saw in 2009 that really
[00:12:30] affected
[00:12:31] the the global south and most of this export of diesel is
[00:12:35] is going to go to those countries so you know it's it's quite possible that it's
[00:12:39] just an interest you know different priorities and he's prioritized one thing
[00:12:43] over the other or it's possible that uh uh one the things his
[00:12:46] detractors say is that he's always agrees with the last person he spoke
[00:12:50] to and you know maybe this is just a weird idea that he's
[00:12:54] decided to Israeli strikes have
[00:12:58] hit Gaza with Dead Alballa and Gaza City among the areas
[00:13:01] targeted, at least five Palestinians were killed and eight
[00:13:05] wounded when an Israeli strike hit a gathering of civilians in
[00:13:08] Gaza City on Saturday, while Israeli attacks killed two others
[00:13:12] in separate incidents. Earlier, at least six people were injured by
[00:13:16] Israeli gunis according to medical sources
[00:13:20] there. More than 1400 Palestinians have been killed since the
[00:13:24] October season. fire last year. Let's get an update now from
[00:13:28] Ashf Shanan joining us from Gaza City. So Ashif, just bring us
[00:13:32] up to speed with the latest attacks that have taken place over the last 24
[00:13:35] hours.
[00:13:40] Well, late last night, Yashni Israeli fighter
[00:13:44] jets targeted at least 10 places. Million Gaza
[00:13:48] City as well as areas in central gaza like the town of
[00:13:52] Zawaida and the town of balah. some areas were
[00:13:56] issued evacuation orders, other areas
[00:13:58] didn't, so over the last 24
[00:14:02] hours at least seven people have have been
[00:14:04] killed, more than dozen others were also
[00:14:08] injured, and of course we're in
[00:14:12] the already in the fourth year the war,
[00:14:15] because when you when you talk to here to people here Yash, they
[00:14:19] say that what didn't end despite the fact that
[00:14:23] technically it ended? back on October
[00:14:26] 2025, but the Israeli attacks
[00:14:30] continues continue, the Israeli violations
[00:14:34] continue, well even today at
[00:14:37] least six people were injured in by Israeli
[00:14:40] guunis in southern Gaza,
[00:14:43] also the town of Musad in central Gaza,
[00:14:47] just a bit north of of deril
[00:14:50] balah sustained at least
[00:14:54] three uh
[00:14:57] shells a part of that ceasefire agreement was for Israel to
[00:15:00] allow in hundreds of trucks for much needed
[00:15:03] aid. we know that earlier this week ahead the
[00:15:07] October 7th anniversary, the crossings into Gaza were all
[00:15:11] closed by Israel. have th those now been opened
[00:15:15] to allow in some of those trucks with
[00:15:17] aid?
[00:15:22] well, I wouldn't call it open, Yashni, because... Even before the
[00:15:25] war, the Israel's was
[00:15:29] closed the crossing for more than 100 days every
[00:15:33] year, and after the seasfire.
[00:15:37] the the crossings mainly the Israeli
[00:15:41] karim shalom crossing and kisofiem and
[00:15:44] sometimes the keem crossing in northern gaza we're working partially mean
[00:15:48] it's like you know facet is dripping it's technically open
[00:15:52] but that doesn't mean it's you know allowing enough water
[00:15:56] uh you know to drip or or to to fall in the cup
[00:16:00] but as part the seasfire agreement you talked about
[00:16:03] it israel
[00:16:04] was supposed to all 600 trucks of eight daily. they for
[00:16:08] the first two months the seas fire they were allowing some 200 trucks not
[00:16:12] eight trucks and nowadays they
[00:16:16] the max is 300 trucks but nearly
[00:16:19] 80% of those trucks yashini are
[00:16:23] soda soft drinks
[00:16:26] chocolate things that not vital for for
[00:16:30] for people survive or or
[00:16:34] or to to help them you know
[00:16:37] grow, especially for children to grow a a good
[00:16:41] way.
[00:16:46] Amil harazin is a word man with what could be very
[00:16:50] harsh winter around the corner. He's deeply
[00:16:53] concerned for his family who live a
[00:16:56] tent. I'm trying to secure my tent. I have
[00:17:00] newborn baby who is less than a week old and three young
[00:17:03] children. Last year we suffered badly when a storm hit so I need to
[00:17:06] be. compared this time, this year the conditions
[00:17:10] could be much worse for the people in Gaza already suffering due to
[00:17:14] Israel's devastating war on the strip, for families
[00:17:18] living in fragile shelters, even basic preparations may not
[00:17:22] be enough, war damaged homes and obliterated
[00:17:25] infrastructure leave many displacement sites
[00:17:29] vulnerable to flooding as well as
[00:17:31] collapse, we heard that very
[00:17:35] powerful storm may be coming our way, could destroy homes, let
[00:17:38] alone tents. We put our trust in God. My tent is
[00:17:42] so fragile that even a light storm could destroy it.
[00:17:46] Imagine what this storm could do. The storm he is
[00:17:50] referring to is the elninu weather phenomena.
[00:17:54] Scientists are warning about its catastrophic effects which could
[00:17:57] settle firmly by December. And in Gaza, its
[00:18:01] repercussions could make life even worse. According to the
[00:18:05] International Organization for mig. IOM,
[00:18:09] around 1.8 million people are living in displacement
[00:18:12] sites across the wartorn territory, more than
[00:18:15] 80% the tents and makeshift
[00:18:18] shelters are in poor condition, while only
[00:18:22] 17% of winter shelter needs have been
[00:18:24] met. We're dreading the winter as well
[00:18:28] as the storm, the rain could flood our tents, leaking in from
[00:18:32] above and sweeping in from below. We have almost
[00:18:36] nothing to protect us. with we lie awake at night, worried
[00:18:40] about the rain and the strong winds. there is no end to the
[00:18:44] suffering. with little protection from the rain,
[00:18:47] families fear the destruction the shelters and the exposure to
[00:18:51] the cold. as palestinians prepare to face another harsh
[00:18:55] winter, they brace themselves for the worst and mid Israel's refusal to
[00:18:59] allow adequate shelter material. ashraf Shanan,

[00:19:10] to India now where a court has ordered the release of cockroach janter
[00:19:14] party leaders after protests erupted in the capital. They were
[00:19:18] arrested on Saturday along with thousands of others who took to the streets
[00:19:22] calling for the resignation the country's election chief. They're
[00:19:25] accusing him of sideespping rules and regulations and making
[00:19:29] several changes to the voter registration process.
[00:19:33] Security has been beefed up in New Delhi as protesters refused to
[00:19:37] give up. the UN has expressed concern and urged
[00:19:40] officials to respect the rights of protesters. the interrum
[00:19:44] leader the cockroach movement says the demonstrations will continue
[00:19:48] until the election leader
[00:19:50] resigns. we want to tell
[00:19:54] this government that we are not scared of your dictorial actions. the
[00:19:58] way this government responded today, it shows that
[00:20:00] it is scared the public and it is like we have one half
[00:20:04] of our battle. the government would be feeling that the... protest would end
[00:20:08] today if they detained us, but this is new beginning of our
[00:20:12] protest, the protest will continue until Gyanesh
[00:20:16] Kumar resigns and no matter how
[00:20:19] many people they detained today, we will come back tomorrow and
[00:20:23] march towards the jantar mantar and our protest will continue
[00:20:27] till Gayanesh Kumar
[00:20:28] resigns. Smitha Sharma is
[00:20:32] following the latest developments from New Delhi, tensions
[00:20:36] continue to prevail. high here in the Indian capital,
[00:20:40] day after we saw massive detentions, thousands of
[00:20:44] people rounded up by multiple layers of security
[00:20:47] forces as they were trying to march. to the designated protest
[00:20:51] site of Chantar Mantar, seeking the resignation the
[00:20:55] chief election commissioner who is surrounded by several controversies,
[00:20:58] including serious allegations of electoral fraud favoring
[00:21:02] the incumbent BJP, the government led by Prime Minister
[00:21:06] Narendra Modi, meanwhile the Cook Route Janata party which was
[00:21:10] born out of satire just a couple of months ago and has become one
[00:21:14] of India's prime youth political outfit,
[00:21:18] its top leaders Abhijit. Dipke, Ashutosh, Ranka, Saurav,
[00:21:22] Das were yesterday detained from inside an
[00:21:25] aircraft an unprecedented move as soon as they landed in
[00:21:29] New Delhi, however, a short while ago, local
[00:21:33] court has now allowed them to be released,
[00:21:37] they were under preventive arrest, they have had to submit bond and give
[00:21:41] some assurances, but the movement however is a far from

[00:23:42] dance. It helps them feel the rhythm and has opened up new social
[00:23:46] possibilities for this often marginalized group. Bahar has
[00:23:50] story: they may not hear the
[00:23:53] music, but these dancers can feel its rhythm. all

[00:24:50] even participate in sociocultural activities and caught my
[00:24:54] attention, i said to myself, it's not normal, we have to do
[00:24:58] something, so decided to propose teaching dance and
[00:25:01] it all started from there, and when i started, the impact,
[00:25:05] the reaction, the positive change in the daily life these dancers,
[00:25:09] these young people, made me understand that there was a
[00:25:12] need, sanu has trained his dancers to such

[00:25:33] only in bobo, i saw the dancers traveling around, and i
