[00:00:08] of
[00:00:15] Saudi authority say another projectile hits the international airport in Riyadh
[00:00:19] as the hoothies claim responsibility for Saturday's deadly strike on
[00:00:23] the same
[00:00:24] in airport. Hello and welcome to TRT World Life from
[00:00:28] Istanbul, I'm Jafar Hustan, so coming
[00:00:30] up, Israel expands its so-called yellow line
[00:00:34] in Gaza,
[00:00:35] of forcing dozens of Palestinian families to flee in the middle
[00:00:37] of the night. Donald Trump says Russia and Ukraine
[00:00:41] have agreed to halt a strikes on each other's energy infrastructure.
[00:00:45] Voluder Zelensky welcomes the move. The Polish
[00:00:49] interior
[00:00:49] of minister of says the man who
[00:00:51] of threatened and planned to attack prime minister Donald
[00:00:54] of Tusk has been
[00:00:54] arrested.
[00:01:00] of
[00:01:10] of We start this hour in Saudi Arabia where authorities say another
[00:01:14] projectile has hit Riyad's main airport causing fire. The
[00:01:18] attack
[00:01:18] of comes less than day after a missile strike at the same airport killed
[00:01:22] in 13 people and injured more than 300 others.
[00:01:25] of Hutis have claimed responsibility for the attack. The militia has also warned
[00:01:29] airline. and travelers to stay away from Saudi
[00:01:32] airports. Basambini begins our
[00:01:34] coverage. Saudi Arabia has been
[00:01:38] of hit hard, deep inside its territory. there was
[00:01:42] panic inside the domestic terminals of king Khalid international
[00:01:46] airport in Riyad after it was track by a missile
[00:01:50] on Saturday
[00:01:51] of afternoon. The Saudi led military coalition describes
[00:01:55] what happened as a war crime,
[00:01:57] of vowing, decisive response. A projectile
[00:02:01] also landed near King
[00:02:03] of Fahad International Airport in Damasmam. The
[00:02:06] Saudis blame the Ansar Allah Hothies from neighboring
[00:02:10] Yeman for the attacks. The UN secretary general also
[00:02:14] pointed the finger at the group. Antonio
[00:02:17] Guteresh demanded that the attack stop
[00:02:20] immediately. The Iran backed group
[00:02:24] said it carried out separate strikes on Riyad's main airport on
[00:02:29] in Thursday killing. three people and damaging an aircraft, but they
[00:02:33] haven't claimed responsibility for
[00:02:35] of Saturday's strike. hours before, the huties had
[00:02:39] said they were prepared
[00:02:41] in to take reciprocal steps with Saudi
[00:02:44] of Arabia to keep airport seaports and other civilian
[00:02:48] of facilities used for humanitarian
[00:02:51] a purposes out
[00:02:51] of the expanding confrontation. the question now
[00:02:55] is whether or not the US will respond to Saudi calls to join
[00:02:59] in? think about that, i think it's terrible,
[00:03:03] well you're going
[00:03:04] of to find out, see, but i think it's terrible,
[00:03:08] are the soudies able to defend themselves now, well they're able to defend,
[00:03:12] look, the saudis are good fighters, but i think the attack was
[00:03:15] terrible thing, the huties have already put pressure on
[00:03:19] Saudi Arabia through their control
[00:03:21] of the bebel mandab straight, through which much of
[00:03:25] Saudi Arabia's oil exports are
[00:03:28] shipped, but In the past week, the Yemani
[00:03:32] of government forces, backed by Saudi Arabia, have made
[00:03:36] some progress
[00:03:37] of in pushing back the Huti advance. They claimed on
[00:03:41] Saturday to have killed more than 1,400
[00:03:45] Huti fighters in 24 hours. The
[00:03:48] next move could determine
[00:03:51] of not only the state of this conflict, but whether the region
[00:03:55] again becomes engaffed in
[00:03:57] war.
[00:04:00] world
[00:04:02] of muhammad has been following the latest developments from so now
[00:04:06] according to the military spokes person he has just made
[00:04:09] this recent and fresh
[00:04:13] pressure he mentioned that they have uh
[00:04:17] more than 124 air rais have been carried out on different
[00:04:21] areas under their control also he has mentioned that they
[00:04:25] have attacked
[00:04:27] of in three phases this evening.
[00:04:31] uh the uh the aviation at the airport of king Khalid, he
[00:04:35] of mentioned that the this is the second operation for them or
[00:04:38] attack, it is also
[00:04:41] targeted gas
[00:04:43] station for she mentioned
[00:04:47] shagram and that belongs to the aramco company and also the mentioned the
[00:04:51] third operation according to his words, the
[00:04:55] targeted tree that belongs to aramku uh which is an
[00:04:58] oil facility. in the eastern eastern region
[00:05:02] of Saudi Arabia he says that the most
[00:05:04] of these uh attacks have been precise and also they have
[00:05:08] reached uh their targets uh according to his and also he
[00:05:11] also uh iterated uh his warnings to
[00:05:15] the um aviation flight companies not to go
[00:05:19] towards Saudi Arabia accept for the the
[00:05:22] allowed for the aviation to to carry
[00:05:26] on in Mecca and in Madina. He mentioned that
[00:05:29] the uh he cautiously
[00:05:32] warned workers and also employees not to go to to Saudi
[00:05:36] Arabia. He is mentioning also we are in
[00:05:40] latest press that the... have also carried
[00:05:43] out um attacks inside the country on
[00:05:46] mobilizations that that were coming from edin laahj
[00:05:50] and the has mentioned that they have inflected heavy losses on
[00:05:54] these reenforcements.
[00:05:57] we are talking about the internationally recognized government forces the
[00:06:01] which he they have mentioned also inflicting heavy loss on the
[00:06:05] houthes they have mentioned that in this in their later recent press
[00:06:09] that they have inflected heavy losses on
[00:06:13] them they are talking about more than
[00:06:15] 1,150 hoti
[00:06:17] fighters, earlier i spoke to
[00:06:21] rifat, the president the pakistan based think tank initiate
[00:06:25] futures about whether or not Saudi Arabia is expected to
[00:06:28] retaliate following second the attack on Riyad's main
[00:06:32] airport, take a look at the
[00:06:35] statements from turkey and most the Saudi military
[00:06:39] establishment, they do believe that retaliation is extremely... important:
[00:06:43] first of all, it's highly condemnable what has happened on the king Khalid international
[00:06:47] airport with 12 civilians or over 300 casualties of which
[00:06:51] many them have been injured, has taken place. it clearly suggests a
[00:06:54] major escalation, it shows that the hot rebels or the Saudis
[00:06:58] would like to call them terrorists, are not really inclined towards respecting
[00:07:02] international humanitarian law, they actually
[00:07:05] want escalate
[00:07:06] this conflict to point whereby they're sending strategic signals,
[00:07:10] according to them that the aviation industry. in Saudi Arabia and their
[00:07:13] interception capacity the ballistic miles which are actually
[00:07:17] incoming in the capital Riyadh can easily be exposed, so I
[00:07:21] think that Saudi Arabia is under immense pressure to
[00:07:24] basically first of all look forward to the prospect
[00:07:28] of you know looking at the prospect of
[00:07:32] you know calling upon their allies whether it's Turkey or Islambad according to the Maka defense
[00:07:35] agreement to provide them with the necessary you could say military
[00:07:39] equipment and the capability and the counter. brown
[00:07:42] strategies which are enstrined in the agreement to attack the hoothies, because
[00:07:46] this is major escalation, and as we're speaking right now, there's been another
[00:07:50] attack at the King Khalid international airport which has resulted in significant
[00:07:54] debris, so it clearly suggests that the hutis are pretty much
[00:07:58] adamant that they want to expose Saudi Arabia and its ability to
[00:08:01] basically defend itself, which obviously is red line for the kingdom, and
[00:08:05] this is what I'm struggling to understand at this point in time, I understand Hothies are
[00:08:09] backed by Iran, but when it comes to the latest escalation between the Hutis and the
[00:08:13] Saudis, are the Hutis acting independently or
[00:08:17] are they getting direct support from
[00:08:19] Iran? well, first of all, it's very difficult to
[00:08:23] distinguish between as a proxy and is as an
[00:08:27] independent actor. now the Hutis would claim that they are independently acting
[00:08:31] and retaliating against what they consider to be Saudi violations of
[00:08:35] international humanitarian law in Yemen and obviously they
[00:08:39] responded by curtailing the bubble under the...
[00:08:43] mandib straight as well as ensuring that they could attack strategically
[00:08:46] significant cities, whether it's Raad or the religious city of
[00:08:50] Makkah, but obviously Iran's role in this entire conflict can
[00:08:54] not necessarily be, you know, you can't dilute Iran's
[00:08:57] role, because Iran has historically and in contemporary times obviously
[00:09:01] provided the houti rebels with political, economic and military
[00:09:05] support, but obviously the Iranian regime, I
[00:09:07] mean if you take a look at the statements on Tehran, they'd be very cautious in
[00:09:11] basically claiming... responsibility or even
[00:09:14] condemming the attacks from the huti rebels as well, so it's a
[00:09:17] difficult you, unless we don't have actual, we
[00:09:21] can't really establish whether this was you know hoodwink by Iran or whether
[00:09:25] this was proxy warfare, classical proxy warfare
[00:09:29] or whether the hoothies were actually acting independently, but what we can establish
[00:09:33] is that this has historically been in iran aligned
[00:09:37] group which has operated in the middle east and is an extremely integral part
[00:09:41] of Iran's so-called of resistance which also includes the
[00:09:44] Iraqiia militias as well as hezbollah in lebanon,
[00:09:48] so this is going to be very interesting to see as to whether or not this
[00:09:52] was an independent claim, but the hutis have claimed quite
[00:09:55] unabashedly that they independently acted with regard to the riad attack
[00:09:59] which resulted in 12 casualties, and now there is also talk
[00:10:02] about the US possibly attacking the hood, certainly
[00:10:06] president donald trump is deciding whether or not he should send his
[00:10:10] forces if the US gets involved at
[00:10:13] this stage, what would it mean for the future of this
[00:10:16] war? well, Donald Trump obviously,
[00:10:20] he does want to brandish his credential as a
[00:10:23] peacemaker, hasn't ruled out negotiations between the two
[00:10:27] parties, but if the escalatory, if you take a look at this latest press
[00:10:30] conference, where you speaking to the journalists for that matter, it is quite clear
[00:10:34] that he wants these attacks to basically stop. now with this
[00:10:38] continuation of attacks, first it was the drone which actually penetrated into the
[00:10:42] religious city of Mecca, then you had the King Khalid airport being attacked
[00:10:45] twice, the latest attack which took place today, which resulted a
[00:10:49] ballistic message resulting in debri all
[00:10:51] across the airport, that would... seriously
[00:10:55] suggest that the US would want to make sure that some sort of military
[00:10:59] deployments actually do take place to defend the kingdom, but I
[00:11:02] think more so, I think the more important question
[00:11:06] here would be, how would Turkey and Pakistan as
[00:11:10] signatories to the Mecca defense agreement would respond to this, because
[00:11:13] collective defense and ensuring that the sanctity the kingdom is
[00:11:17] respected and whether attack a member state results,
[00:11:21] it is actually equated to attack on all member states, those are central
[00:11:25] tenents the Mecca defense agreement, so the United States as well as
[00:11:29] regional players and allies of Saudi Arabia could definitely respond in kind
[00:11:33] to this, but it if the Hutis continued to go ahead on this
[00:11:37] escalatory path, we could see increased American
[00:11:40] involvement and engagement as well as military deployments, but it
[00:11:44] really does depend on whether this escalation would increase. I don't think this is a
[00:11:48] strategic move, the Hutis would want to signal to the entire Middle East
[00:11:52] that Saudi Arabia's economic, you could say, its ability
[00:11:55] economically sustain itself is questionable, they don't have the interception
[00:11:59] capacity, they also believe that air,
[00:12:02] you know, the aviation industry would also be subject to their own
[00:12:05] dictates, so this is more of a strategic move, but if it continues
[00:12:09] escalate then yes you could say you could
[00:12:12] you know you could speculate as to whether or not American
[00:12:15] increase military involv, turkish foreign ministry has
[00:12:19] strongly condemned Saturday's who
[00:12:22] the attack on king Khalid international airport in Riad. In a statement
[00:12:26] it says, these attacks which deliberately target civilian infrastructure and
[00:12:30] innocent civilians constitute a clear violation of international
[00:12:33] law and the principles of international humanitarian
[00:12:36] law. We emphasize that such actions which
[00:12:40] pose a threat to regional security and stability and undermine the international
[00:12:44] community's collective efforts to establish peace must seiz
[00:12:47] immediately. As Turkey, we reaffirm our support for
[00:12:51] Saudi Arabia sovereignty and territorial integrity.
[00:13:01] The Israeli military is expanding its so-called yellow line in the
[00:13:05] east of Gaza City. Israeli forces opened heavy fire and
[00:13:09] launched artillery shelling in shujaya injuring two Palestinians including a
[00:13:12] pregnant woman. dozens of Palestinian families were forced to flee once again
[00:13:16] in search of safety following advances by Israeli
[00:13:19] military. locals describe it as night of
[00:13:23] terror filled with heavy. Israeli gun fire and explosions.
[00:13:27] The UN said nearly two-third the enclave is inaccessible to
[00:13:31] Palestinians or subject to severe
[00:13:33] restrictions. Residents of Gaza's al
[00:13:37] Zawaida have inspected the aftermath of an Israeli air strike. The residents say they
[00:13:41] were given five minutes to evacuate before bombs were dropped on the house on
[00:13:44] Saturday. Israel has stepped up a strikes against Palestinians in
[00:13:48] Gaza undermining a US broker cease fire agreed one year
[00:13:52] ago. Israel controls more than
[00:13:55] 70% in reality, because we are
[00:13:59] here, we see this with our own eyes, 64%, that
[00:14:02] was maybe two months ago, according to to
[00:14:06] international agencies working in Gaza, but almost every hour,
[00:14:10] every day far Israeli forces are creeping further
[00:14:13] west, right now more than 2
[00:14:17] million people in Gaza are living in less than 30% of of
[00:14:21] of Gaza's territory, Gaza is to be 300.
[00:14:25] 60 square kilometers approximately and now people
[00:14:29] are living within about 100 kilometers and even the 100 kilometers are not
[00:14:33] safe because you have daily air strikes uh tank
[00:14:37] fire, sniper fire,
[00:14:39] even random fire by machine guns, you know they they just
[00:14:42] open the fire on anything
[00:14:44] that moves, they open their fires, they they they move their machine
[00:14:48] guns to the western part of Gaza, so the majority
[00:14:52] the territory that Israeli forces are... pointing their forces at
[00:14:56] is towards the west, towards the Mediterranean, while in some areas like
[00:15:00] Bethlahia and Northern Gaza, they point their guns towards the
[00:15:04] south, and in the south the point to towards the
[00:15:07] north, as not only that Jafar, even in the
[00:15:11] in the Mediterranean, Israeli gumboats fire on people on
[00:15:15] the coastal area where thousands of tents are located,
[00:15:19] tens of thousands of not hundreds of hundreds of thousands of
[00:15:22] children, women, elderly people are. living in
[00:15:25] those tents, so far today,
[00:15:28] at least six people were injured, including a pregnant woman, jafar
[00:15:32] in her second trimester, and doctors say
[00:15:36] it's they're not. or if they're able even to save the
[00:15:39] mother or or or her
[00:15:42] feetus now already since the start the
[00:15:46] seasfire back in October 2025 and already now we already
[00:15:49] passed one year since this so-called seasfire close to
[00:15:53] 1500 people have lost their lives more than 500 others
[00:15:57] injured while earlier this morning for example in
[00:16:00] eastern ghaza city less than the kilometers from where
[00:16:04] I'm standing if you go east about 3 km, 3
[00:16:08] and a half kilometers, I'll be, I'll be faced with a Israeli tank or
[00:16:12] a machine gun in front of me. Of course, nobody, nobody
[00:16:16] even dares to get close to that area where Israely soldiers are
[00:16:20] located. A few hundred meters
[00:16:24] to the west the so-called to this to the east the so-called
[00:16:28] yellow line, they keep opening their heavy machine guns and
[00:16:31] artillery and tank fire towards the
[00:16:35] western parts of that area. so this morning
[00:16:38] people were sleeping, although they're not sleeping safely
[00:16:42] within uh partially standing
[00:16:44] buildings damaged by
[00:16:48] Israel's war and inside makeshift
[00:16:51] tents
[00:16:52] and they woke up this morning finding the yellow blocks
[00:16:56] moved past them and this means you're a kill
[00:17:00] zone so people you know panic dozens of families just just ran
[00:17:04] away with whatever they can and sometimes some people i I've seen
[00:17:07] people who who left with nothing because they know life is
[00:17:11] more important than belongings
[00:17:13] jaf
[00:17:17] right Ashraf and I understand winter is only few months
[00:17:21] away so how can Palestinians if at all prepare for
[00:17:24] the harsh conditions
[00:17:26] there
[00:17:32] well every coming every every everything is coming against the Palestinians
[00:17:36] in Gaza. weather, the some people say it's
[00:17:40] the international conspiracy of silence when it comes to palestinians and
[00:17:44] now the international organization of migration (iUM)
[00:17:47] says Israel is not allowing tens of thousands of tens and
[00:17:50] shelter shelter supplies to enter gaza, especially that
[00:17:54] elninho is approaching and its
[00:17:58] effects could could you know most likely will affect the
[00:18:01] people of Gaza, and we have more in the following
[00:18:04] package.
[00:18:09] "Amil al harazin is a word man with what could be very
[00:18:13] harsh winter around the corner, he's deeply
[00:18:16] concerned for his family who live a
[00:18:19] tent. I'm trying to secure my tent, I have
[00:18:23] newborn baby who is less than a week old and three young
[00:18:26] children. Last year we suffered badly when a storm hit, so I need
[00:18:30] to be prepared this time. This year the conditions
[00:18:34] could be much worse for the people in Gaza already. suffering due to
[00:18:38] Israel's devastating war on the strip, for families
[00:18:42] living in fragile shelters, even basic preparations may not
[00:18:45] be enough, war damaged homes and obliterated
[00:18:49] infrastructure leave many displacement sites
[00:18:52] vulnerable to flooding as well as
[00:18:54] collapse, we heard that very
[00:18:58] powerful storm may be coming our way, it could destroy homes, let
[00:19:02] alone tents, we put our trust in god, my tent is
[00:19:06] so fragile that and light storm could destroy it,
[00:19:09] imagine what this storm could do, the storm he's
[00:19:13] referring to is the elninu weather phenomena.
[00:19:17] scientists are warning about its catastrophic effects which could
[00:19:21] settle firmly by december. and in Gaza, its
[00:19:25] repercussions could make life even worse. according to the
[00:19:28] international organization for migration (IOM) around
[00:19:32] 1.8 million people are living in displacement sites
[00:19:36] across the world. on territory, more than 80%
[00:19:40] the tents and makeshift shelters are in poor
[00:19:43] condition, while only 17% of winter shelter
[00:19:47] needs have been met, we're dreading
[00:19:51] the winter as well as the storm, the rain could flood our tents,
[00:19:54] leaking in from above and sweeping in from
[00:19:58] below, we have almost nothing to protect ourselves with, we
[00:20:01] lie awake at night, worried about the rain and the strong
[00:20:05] winds, there is no end to the... with
[00:20:09] little protection from the rain, families fear the destruction
[00:20:12] the shelters and the exposure to the cold.
[00:20:16] As palestinians prepare to face another harsh winter, they brace themselves for
[00:20:20] the worst, am mid Israel's refusal to allow adequate shelter
[00:20:24] material. Ashraf Shanan, TRT World,
[00:20:27] Gaza. In the occupied West Bang, illegal israeli settleers
[00:20:31] attacked Palestinians trying to harvest olives on their land east of
[00:20:35] Ramala. Residents from several. had gathered together hoping
[00:20:39] there would be safety in
[00:20:39] numbers
[00:20:44] village west of ramalla palestinians came to pick up their
[00:20:48] olives from a land the... used to pick up the olives from
[00:20:52] since decades, but this year it's different as a lega settlers established
[00:20:56] a new outpost at the top of that mountain. today
[00:20:59] the residents decided to go to their land and to pick up their olives in
[00:21:03] groups so they can guarantee their protection as illegal settlers are
[00:21:07] attacking the palestinians frequently in different areas in the occupied west
[00:21:11] bank, but they were also attacked by the illegal settlers and
[00:21:15] of course backed by Israeli forces
[00:21:19] palestiny. losing their land, the settle establish this outpost about
[00:21:23] seven months ago, taking control the entire hill. this
[00:21:27] is their fathers and grandfathers lands, they planted these trees and
[00:21:31] worked hard to cultivate the land. during the olive harvest,
[00:21:35] the settlers not only still their olives, but also take over their
[00:21:38] land, preventing Palestinians from assessing their own
[00:21:42] property. illegal settlers have seized the head the local cancers vehicle and
[00:21:46] prevented residence from reaching the land. what is happening here is a part of
[00:21:50] wider pattern across the occupied west bank, where Palestinians land have
[00:21:54] been taken. Palestinians left today without picking their olive
[00:21:57] harvest, but they
[00:21:59] say they want to keep on trying, not just to get the amount of
[00:22:02] olive harvest they used to get every year, but to keep the land,
[00:22:06] identity and heritage. Turkish head of
[00:22:10] communications bran has condemned Israeli defense minister
[00:22:13] Israel's remarks targeting president recep and
[00:22:17] Turkey. Theron says the comments reflect. political
[00:22:20] desperation ahead of Israel's upcoming
[00:22:22] elections. Baseless accusations against
[00:22:26] Turkia cannot conceal the Israeli government's record of genocide in
[00:22:30] Gaza or its continued aggressive policies in our region.
[00:22:34] Cuds explicit that threats against individuals involved in sece fire
[00:22:38] and peace negotiations are yet another manifestation the Israeli
[00:22:42] government's disregard for international law. Turkey will continue
[00:22:46] to defend the legitimate rights the Palestinian people, justice and
[00:22:50] lasting peace: the Israeli government's threats, provocations and
[00:22:53] summer campaigns will not deter our country from its steadfast
[00:22:57] commitment to upholding what is right and just. At
[00:23:01] least 13 people have been killed in aerial attack a gold mine near the
[00:23:05] Sudanes Egyptian border, that's according to the Sudan doctors
[00:23:08] network. It occurred in the very north of Sudan's river Niila
[00:23:12] state. Egypt has previously carried out attacks in this area
[00:23:15] accusing Sudanese minors of border violations or smuggling, though neither
[00:23:19] Sudanese. nor Egyptian authorities have commented on Saturday's
[00:23:23] incident
[00:23:24] yet.
[00:23:37] Donald Trump says Russia and Ukraine have agreed to halt a strikes on each other's energy
[00:23:41] infrastructure. Donald Trump made the announcement on his truth social platform without
[00:23:45] giving further details. It came two days after making a deal with Russian
[00:23:49] President Vladimir Putin. to buy large quantities of diesel, earlier president
[00:23:52] Donald Trump had said it was time for Ukraine to get new president, to which
[00:23:56] Volodimir Zelensky replied saying it is up to his people to pick up a
[00:24:00] leader. Aaron Dohluolu has
[00:24:03] more made this announcement on
[00:24:06] truth social, but the two parties, not only Ukraine,
[00:24:10] Russia as well, have not made a comment on this announcement yet, Russia hasn't made a
[00:24:14] comment and Ukraine, Zelinski has said that he's surprised but he
[00:24:18] would welcome a ceasefire. Meanwhile uh Ursolov
[00:24:22] underline the EU came out and voiced her support for
[00:24:26] Zelinski, voiced the support the EU for Zelinski. Clearly there's
[00:24:29] a row between the Ukrainian leader and President
[00:24:33] Donald Trump. Uh, their relationship was always rocky even once
[00:24:37] Trump got elected for his second term, Zelinski came to the White House
[00:24:41] and that meeting got very tense, and since then they've had some
[00:24:45] ups and downs, but of course now the big elephant in the room is
[00:24:49] the new... diesel deal with Russia and Russia has
[00:24:52] now uh committed to supply uh the United
[00:24:56] States with extra diesel after Trump's call with
[00:24:59] President Vladimir Putin so uh with that
[00:25:03] bearing that in mind uh and the elections coming and the high gas
[00:25:07] prices and the pressure on the Republican Party and President Donald
[00:25:11] Trump um the president's thinking about lot of
[00:25:15] different factors here including the elections
[00:25:18] and
[00:25:19] Ucrainian strikes on Russian oil infrastructure is only
[00:25:23] going to bring oil prices up, so uh the
[00:25:26] president wants to avoid that, but what's happening
[00:25:30] today is another surreal turn of events, uh, what's the
[00:25:34] strategy here? It could be wishful thinking, right, President
[00:25:38] Trump wants a cease fire, but he comes out and announces a
[00:25:42] cease fire that's news to Ukraine's president, the
[00:25:45] same president that President Donald Trump called to be
[00:25:49] replaced. yesterday uh, which was also a
[00:25:53] very, very surprising and surreal turn of events, and now the
[00:25:57] EU's backing Ukraine's president and
[00:26:00] meanwhile president Donald Trump. Trump here in Washington is
[00:26:04] making announcements that the other parties haven't even commented on,
[00:26:08] and that's the current situation here in Washington
[00:26:11] DC. The Polish interior minister says the man who
[00:26:14] threatened and plananed to attack prime minister Donald Tusk has been
[00:26:17] arrested. Police say they had received information about a possible
[00:26:21] assassination plot on Tusk and his deputy who is also defense
[00:26:24] minister. Senior ministers, police and security
[00:26:28] officials later held a meeting in Warso. No further details
[00:26:32] yet. on the suspect's identity or the plant
[00:26:34] attack earlier I spoke
[00:26:38] with, he is a political scientist
[00:26:42] at the Institute of Central Europe, University of Warsaw, he explained
[00:26:46] what could be the possible motivations behind this
[00:26:48] plot, we should put this
[00:26:52] current situation from today in the wider
[00:26:55] context, I'm happy that you raised the point that Poland is
[00:26:59] rather safe country indeed with. relatively low
[00:27:03] crime rates, but what is important is that over the
[00:27:06] last two days we had a whole wave of concerns
[00:27:10] related to um online
[00:27:14] organized attacks
[00:27:18] by teenagers with the use of
[00:27:22] knives, so over the last two
[00:27:25] days there was a lot of tension, some schools were wondering
[00:27:29] whether kids should be present, and
[00:27:33] numerous informations were being delivered, um, it
[00:27:36] turned out that these were issues rather of
[00:27:40] internal matter related to
[00:27:43] teenagers, you know, inventions, but what is also
[00:27:47] important is that the information that you have
[00:27:50] mentioned was released this morning at
[00:27:54] 11 am, there was an official statement by the
[00:27:58] secret services, which clearly indicated
[00:28:02] that...
[00:28:02] there was a tangible threat and what is most
[00:28:05] important is that by this evening we
[00:28:09] already have the information that the person was being
[00:28:12] arrested, it is in lower cylegia and
[00:28:16] the only thing we know is that this person is
[00:28:20] connected to radical organization, but we have no
[00:28:23] idea what kind of radical organization this is, we expect
[00:28:27] more information to come later on, what is also
[00:28:30] important is that it is a a
[00:28:34] whistleblowing success, because a person that was aware
[00:28:38] the plans informed the secret services and i think that
[00:28:42] ultimately also
[00:28:44] example it is an the
[00:28:48] hopeful efficiency the
[00:28:51] secret services in such situations, however we should not
[00:28:55] forget that if what we know is accurate and this
[00:28:59] is that there was somebody already signaling the... situation
[00:29:03] then apparently the the the reaction
[00:29:06] was much more swift. what do
[00:29:08] you think is the government's plan to contain the situation? because
[00:29:12] certainly as we have been discussing it's a relatively calm country, it's
[00:29:16] safe, but incidents like this
[00:29:19] obviously have created a lot of panic among the public.
[00:29:23] it's making international news now. so based on that, what what do you think
[00:29:27] is the government strategy going to be moving
[00:29:31] forward? I think
[00:29:33] actually there are two two sides of this
[00:29:36] story, the first one is that we should not forget
[00:29:39] that for the services,
[00:29:42] this kind of information is rather
[00:29:44] common
[00:29:46] situation, and the the the point
[00:29:49] today, and that was mentioned by the the the speaker the
[00:29:53] government with the providing of public
[00:29:57] information on that was first and foremost because the the threat was
[00:30:00] apparently ' clear and present danger and
[00:30:04] secondly, because the government wanted to
[00:30:07] avoid exactly what you have mentioned, panic and
[00:30:11] confusion, so this information was provided
[00:30:14] publicly, and then we we have
[00:30:18] the the outcome in the evening, in that sense I do
[00:30:22] not expect any profound actions taken by the government
[00:30:26] in the sense of future security
[00:30:29] concerns related to this dimension, as I mentioned we
[00:30:33] see an efficient reaction by the
[00:30:37] state authorities, the appropriate institutions, therefore i
[00:30:41] think that this is more kind of a signal for
[00:30:44] others that the state has the capacity
[00:30:48] to to to react to such
[00:30:52] provocations quite swiftly. a state of
[00:30:55] emergency has been imposed in the pakistani province of
[00:30:59] government.
