[00:01:20] Riyad's main airport causing fire. The attack comes less than day

[00:01:28] people and
[00:01:29] of injured of more than 300 others, the hoothies have claimed responsibility
[00:01:33] for the attack, the militia has also warned airlines and
[00:01:36] travelers to stay away from Saudi
[00:01:39] of airports. Basambini begins our
[00:01:41] coverage. Saudi Arabia has been
[00:01:45] hit hard deep inside its territory, there was
[00:01:49] panic inside the domestic terminals of King Khalid international
[00:01:52] airport in Riyadh after it was track by a
[00:01:56] missile on Saturday afternoon. The Saudi
[00:01:59] of led military.
[00:02:01] of describes what happened as a war crime, vowing,
[00:02:04] decisive
[00:02:05] of response. a projectile also landed near
[00:02:09] king fahad international airport in Damasmam.
[00:02:12] the saudis blame theis from neighboring
[00:02:16] yeman for the attacks. the UN secretary general also
[00:02:20] pointed the finger at the
[00:02:22] a group. antonio guteres demanded that the
[00:02:26] attack stop immediately. the Iran
[00:02:30] backed group said it carried out separate strikes on Riyad's
[00:02:33] main airport on Thursday, killing
[00:02:36] of three people and damaging an
[00:02:38] of aircraft, but they haven't claimed responsibility for
[00:02:41] Saturday's
[00:02:43] of strike. Hours before, the Huties had said they were
[00:02:47] prepared to take reciprocal steps with Saudi Arabia to
[00:02:51] keep airports, seaports and other civilian facilities
[00:02:55] used for humanitarian purposes out
[00:02:58] in of of the expanding confrontation. "the question now
[00:03:01] is
[00:03:02] of whether or not the US will respond to Saudi calls to join
[00:03:05] in, I think it's terrible,
[00:03:09] well you're going
[00:03:10] of to find out, see, but I think it's terrible, are the saudis
[00:03:14] able to defend themself, well they're able to
[00:03:18] defend, look, the saudis are good fighters, but I think the attack
[00:03:22] was terrible thing, the Hithis have already put pressure on
[00:03:25] Saudi Arabia through their control
[00:03:27] of the Babel Mandabs trade." through which much of
[00:03:31] Saudi Arabia's oil exports are
[00:03:34] shipped, but in the past week, the Yemani
[00:03:38] government forces,
[00:03:40] of backed by Saudi Arabia, have made some progress in
[00:03:43] pushing back the Hoothy advance. They claimed on
[00:03:47] Saturday to have killed more than 1,400
[00:03:51] hoothi fighters in 24 hours. The
[00:03:55] next
[00:03:56] of move could determine not only the state of this conflict.
[00:04:00] but whether the region again becomes engulfed in
[00:04:05] of war, mohammad has
[00:04:09] been following the latest developments from the yemeny capital sana
[00:04:12] as conflict in yemen grows wider
[00:04:16] and become more violent, saudi arabia civil aviation authority
[00:04:20] said the mam's king fahed airport was attacked sunday
[00:04:23] evening with damage assessment underway, it also
[00:04:27] reported new attack on riyad king khalid air report that caused
[00:04:31] a injuries after early attack, kill 12 and wonded
[00:04:37] of of hundreds. hothy spokesperson of yah later on claimed responsibility saying they
[00:04:41] carried out four operations in 24 hours,
[00:04:45] target riad and dammam airports and aramco facilities
[00:04:48] in response to what he described 124 saudi air
[00:04:52] strikes on yemen. he wanted
[00:04:55] of saudi airports are unsafe except mecca and medina and
[00:04:59] vote to... late until the sages lefted, according to his
[00:05:03] words. Meanwhile, as operations Done of Yemen continues,

[00:05:11] of against High. fighters using warplanes, drones and
[00:05:15] artillery, neutralizing hundreds of hy fighters with
[00:05:19] advances ongoing.
[00:05:22] Turkish foreign ministry has
[00:05:24] a strongly condemned Saturday's hoothi attack on King Khalid international airport in
[00:05:28] Riyadh a statement, the foreign ministry says, these attacks which
[00:05:31] deliberately target civilian infrastructure and innocent civilians constitute
[00:05:35] a clear violation of international law and the principles of
[00:05:39] international humanitarian law. We emphasized. that such actions
[00:05:43] which pose a threat to regional security and stability and undermine the international
[00:05:47] community collective effort to establish peace must
[00:05:51] seiz immediately. as Turkia, we
[00:05:54] reaffirm our support for Saudi Arabia sovereignty and territorial
[00:05:58] integrity. And Turkia, Pakistan,
[00:06:02] Egypt, along with Saudi Arabia have also issued a joint statement on Sunday
[00:06:06] condemming the ongoing attacks on Saudi soil. The nations
[00:06:10] expressed their full support for all legitimate. measures by riyad to
[00:06:13] counter these attacks and helt is responsible for any
[00:06:17] repercussions.
[00:06:24] The Israeli military is expanding its so-called yellow line in the
[00:06:27] east of Gaza City. Israeli forces opened heavy fire and
[00:06:31] launched artillery shelling in shujaya injuring two Palestinians including a
[00:06:35] pregnant woman. dozens of Palestinian families were forced to flee once again
[00:06:39] in search of safety following advances by Israel
[00:06:42] military, locals describe it as night of
[00:06:46] terror filled with heavy Israeli
[00:06:48] gun fire and explosions. The UN said nearly two-third the
[00:06:52] enclave is inaccessible to Palestinians or subject to
[00:06:55] severe restrictions. Residents of Gaza's
[00:06:59] al Zawaida have inspected the aftermath of an Israeli air strike. The residents say
[00:07:03] they were given five minutes to evacuate before bombs were dropped on the house on
[00:07:07] Saturday. Israel has stepped up a strikes against Palestinians in
[00:07:11] Gaza undermining a U.S. broker cefire agreed one year
[00:07:14] ago, currently Israel controls more than
[00:07:18] 70% in reality, because we are here,
[00:07:22] we see this with our own eyes, 64%, that
[00:07:25] was maybe two months ago according to to
[00:07:29] international agencies working in Gaza, but almost every hour,
[00:07:33] every day far Israeli forces are creeping further
[00:07:36] west, right now more than two
[00:07:40] million people in Gaza are living and less than 30% of of
[00:07:44] of Gaza's territory, Gaza used to be
[00:07:46] 360 square kilometers approximately,
[00:07:50] and now people are living within about 100 kilometers and even the
[00:07:54] 100 kilometers are not safe because you have daily air
[00:07:57] strikes, tank fire, sniper fire, even
[00:08:01] random fire by machine guns, they they just open the fire
[00:08:05] on anything that moves, they open their fires,
[00:08:09] they they they move their machine guns to the western part. of
[00:08:12] Gaza, so the majority the territory that
[00:08:16] Israeli forces are pointing the forces at is towards the west, towards the
[00:08:20] mediterranean, while in some areas like Betlahya and Northern
[00:08:23] Gaza, they point their guns towards the south, and in the
[00:08:27] south they point to towards the north, it's not only that
[00:08:31] Jafar, even in the in the Mediterranean, Israeli
[00:08:35] gun boats fire on people on the coastal area where
[00:08:39] thousands of tents are located, tens of thous of not
[00:08:43] hundreds of hundreds of thousands of children, women, elderly
[00:08:46] people are living in those tents, so
[00:08:50] far today at least six people were injured, including a pregnant woman,
[00:08:54] jafar in her second trimester, and doctors say
[00:08:58] it's they're not sure if they're able even to save the
[00:09:01] mother or or or her her
[00:09:05] fetus, now already since the start the seasfire
[00:09:09] back in October 2025, and already now we already... past one
[00:09:13] year since this so callalled seasfire, close to 1500 people have
[00:09:17] lost their lives, more than 500 others injured, while
[00:09:21] earlier this morning, for example in eastern gaza city, less
[00:09:25] than three kilometers from where i'm standing, if i
[00:09:29] go east about th three kilometers, 3 and a half kilometers,
[00:09:32] i'll be i'll be faced with a israeli tank or a machine gun
[00:09:36] in front of me, of course nobody nobody even dares to get
[00:09:40] close to that area where the soldiers
[00:09:42] located few hundred meters
[00:09:46] to uh the west the so-called to this to the east the so-called
[00:09:50] yellow line, they keep opening their heavy machine guns and
[00:09:54] artillery and tank fire towards the western
[00:09:58] parts of that area, so this morning people were
[00:10:02] sleeping, although they're not sleeping safely within
[00:10:04] a partially standing
[00:10:07] buildings damaged by
[00:10:11] Israel's war. and inside makeshift
[00:10:14] tints and they woke up this morning finding the yellow
[00:10:18] blocks moved past them
[00:10:20] and this means you're
[00:10:22] a kill zone
[00:10:23] so people panic doesn't... the families just ran
[00:10:26] away with whatever they can and sometimes some people i've seen
[00:10:30] people who who left with nothing because they know life
[00:10:34] is more important than belongings
[00:10:36] jab
[00:10:40] right ashraf and i understand winter is only few months
[00:10:43] away so how can palestinians if at all prepare for
[00:10:47] the harsh conditions
[00:10:48] there?
[00:10:55] "well every coming, every every everything is coming against the Palestinians in
[00:10:59] Gaza, the weather, the some people say it's the
[00:11:03] international conspiracy of silence when it comes to Palestinians and
[00:11:06] now the international organization of migration, IUM
[00:11:10] says Israel is not allowing tens of thousands of tens and
[00:11:13] shelter shelter supplies to enter Gaza, especially that
[00:11:17] Lnino is approaching and its
[00:11:20] effects could could you know most likely will affect the people."
[00:11:25] uh of Gaza and we have more in the following
[00:11:27] package.
[00:11:32] Amilar
[00:11:33] harazin is a word man with what could be very harsh
[00:11:36] winter around the corner. He's deeply concerned for
[00:11:40] his family who live a tent. I'm trying to
[00:11:44] secure my tent. I have newborn baby who is less than a week old and
[00:11:48] three young children. Last year we suffered badly when a storm
[00:11:52] hit so I need to be prepared this time. This
[00:11:55] year the conditions could be much worse for the people in Gaza
[00:11:59] already suffering due to Israel's devastating war on the
[00:12:03] strip, for families living in fragile shelters, even
[00:12:06] basic preparations may not be enough, or damaged homes
[00:12:10] and obliterated infrastructure leave many displacement
[00:12:14] sites vulnerable to flooding as well as
[00:12:17] collapse, we heard that very
[00:12:21] powerful storm may be coming our way, it could destroy homes, let's
[00:12:25] alone tents, we put our trust in God. My tent is so
[00:12:29] fragile that even a light storm could destroy it. Imagine
[00:12:32] what this storm could do. The storm he's referring
[00:12:36] to is the elninu weather phenomena. Scientists
[00:12:40] are warning about its catastrophic effects which could settle
[00:12:44] firmly by December. And in Gaza, its
[00:12:47] repercussions could make life even worse. According to the
[00:12:51] International Organization for migration, IOM, around
[00:12:55] 1.8 million people are living in displacement sites
[00:12:59] across the wartorn territory. more than 80%
[00:13:03] the tents and makeshift shelters are in poor
[00:13:06] condition, while only 17% of winter shelter needs
[00:13:10] have been met. we're dreading the winter
[00:13:14] as well as the storm. the rain could flood our tents leaking in from
[00:13:18] above and sweeping in from below. we have almost
[00:13:22] nothing to protect ourselves with. we lie awake. At night worried
[00:13:26] about the rain and the strong winds, there is no end to the
[00:13:29] suffering. With little protection from the rain,
[00:13:33] families fear the destruction the shelters and the exposure to
[00:13:37] the cold. As palestinians prepare to face another harsh
[00:13:41] winter, the brace themselves for the worst, and made Israel's refusal to
[00:13:45] allow adequate shelter material. Ashraf Shanan,
[00:13:49] TRT World, Gaza. Palestinian farmers in
[00:13:53] Ain Yabu east of... Ramala gathered in groups on Sunday to harvest
[00:13:57] their olives a mid threats and attacks by the illegal settlers. Israeli
[00:14:01] forces used stun grenades and
[00:14:03] the at the farmers as the settlers stole half their harvest and vital
[00:14:07] farming equipment. local managed to locals managed to salvage only
[00:14:11] 15 bags of olives but vow to return in large numbers to defend
[00:14:14] their land. mhammad elwan has the
[00:14:17] story. it's their land, their
[00:14:21] farms and their olives. yet the palestinian farmers.
[00:14:25] face a brutal battle every autumn to access
[00:14:28] them under the shadow of Israeli guns and illegal
[00:14:31] occupation, together the residents of village in
[00:14:35] the occupied west bank set out on sunday to harvest their olive
[00:14:39] trees, keeping alive a tradition known as
[00:14:42] alona where people help each other pick the
[00:14:45] crop. another reason for this unity is to protect their
[00:14:49] land from illegal Israeli settlers who have taken over large
[00:14:53] areas. israel has declared the area closed military
[00:14:57] zone, preventing Palestinians from accessing their own
[00:15:00] land, for this land owner, even trying to
[00:15:03] access his property could lead to arrest, he has
[00:15:07] chosen not to show his face, feeling
[00:15:10] detention, we have come to harvest
[00:15:14] our own olives, these are our village trees inherited from our fathers
[00:15:17] and grandfathers, thank god our spirits are high because we are
[00:15:21] standing on our own land, we are not here to steal or harm anyone.
[00:15:25] They are the ones coming to us, stealing our harvest.
[00:15:29] Residents had been on their land for just an hour when illegal settlers
[00:15:32] attacked. Minutes later, Israeli forces arrived. The
[00:15:36] head the village council.
[00:15:37] Council's
[00:15:37] vehicle, forcing
[00:15:47] it off the road, attacked residents and tried to run
[00:15:51] people over, they
[00:15:52] then trave stones at olive pickers from higher ground, while
[00:15:56] Israeli forces fired stunt grenades at the
[00:15:59] Palestinians, illegal settlers were seen cutting away
[00:16:03] the stolen olive harvest and heading towards the top the mountain.
[00:16:08] they had previously taken over, the Palestinians have
[00:16:12] been forced to leave, but they remained determined to return and harvest their
[00:16:16] olives. what happened here reflects a wider pattern across the
[00:16:19] occupied west bank, where illegal settler violence continues
[00:16:23] escalate. across the occupied west bank, more than
[00:16:27] 10 attacks are reported daily with illegal settler stealing
[00:16:31] olive harvests in front their owners and using
[00:16:34] equipment to speed up the process. According to the
[00:16:38] agricultural ministry, losses to Palestinians Olive
[00:16:42] sector have exceeded $157 million
[00:16:45] dollars since 2023 with around
[00:16:48] 286,00 olive trees damaged in the
[00:16:52] West Bank. The minister fears these losses to rise
[00:16:56] as the harvest continues.
[00:16:59] TRT World, Ramallah, the occupied West
[00:17:03] bank. Turkish head of
[00:17:05] communication. condem Israeli defense minister Israel's
[00:17:09] remarks targeting president and
[00:17:13] theran says the comments reflect political desperation ahead of
[00:17:17] Israel's upcoming elections. baseless
[00:17:20] accusations against Turkia cannot conceal the Israeli government's
[00:17:24] record of genocide in Gaza or its continued aggressive policies in
[00:17:28] our region. cuts explicit that threats against individuals
[00:17:32] involved in se fire and peace negotiations are yet another
[00:17:36] manifestation the Israel government's disregard for international
[00:17:39] law, turkey will continue to defend the legitimate rights the
[00:17:42] Palestinian people, justice and lasting peace. The Israeli
[00:17:46] government's threats, provocations and smart campaigns will not
[00:17:50] deter our country from its steadfast commitment to
[00:17:53] upholding what is right and
[00:17:55] just.
[00:18:08] Donald Trump says Russia and Ukraine have agreed to halt a strikes on each other's energy
[00:18:12] infrastructure. Donald Trump made the announcement on his truth social platform without giving further
[00:18:16] details, it came two days after making a deal with Russian president Vladimir Putin to buy
[00:18:20] large quantities of diesel. Earlier Donald Trump had said it was
[00:18:24] time for Ukraine to get new president to which Volodimir Zelensky
[00:18:27] replied,
[00:18:28] it is up to Ukrainians to pick new
[00:18:32] leader. Political commentator John
[00:18:36] Cavulich explains what precedent it would set if Russia manages
[00:18:40] to retain Ukrainian territory an eventual cease
[00:18:43] fire? right now the
[00:18:47] the real estate issue is about 20%
[00:18:51] of Dunetsk, which is the
[00:18:54] Luhansk, donets, these are like like
[00:18:57] provinces, and it makes up the Dunbas
[00:19:01] and the Russian Federation has been saying, we want that
[00:19:05] remaining 20% that we have not...
[00:19:09] Ukraine is saying, we're not giving you something that you haven't
[00:19:13] militarily taken. Uh, one proposal that's been
[00:19:17] around for now nearing three years is for
[00:19:20] Ukraine to move the border of
[00:19:23] Donetz to where the Russian army
[00:19:27] is, and in that way President Putin can
[00:19:31] claim
[00:19:32] he has 100%, and Ukraine is retaining
[00:19:35] its territory
[00:19:36] but not give. anything that Russia has taken, so there is
[00:19:40] a solution, the challenge
[00:19:44] is you talked about, with with respect to
[00:19:47] reputation in the US, president Trump is a
[00:19:51] day-to-day guy, he's not necessarily a
[00:19:55] week to week guy, a month to month guy, year to year
[00:19:58] guy, and so he's looking at the next two
[00:20:02] years, 12 o'clock, January 20th, 2029,
[00:20:06] his term finishes. "between now and then
[00:20:10] he believes he is the most powerful
[00:20:13] individual on the planet
[00:20:15] and that he can do what he wants,
[00:20:18] and eventually people will come around to doing what he
[00:20:22] wants, but even if they don't do what he wants, he will
[00:20:25] declare victory and move to
[00:20:27] the next issue,
[00:20:30] and he has three tools, tariffs, sanctions
[00:20:34] and visa restrictions that are his.
[00:20:37] go, it's sort of his go bag, it's his doctor's bag, he opens
[00:20:41] them up and he's going to throw them out like doctor would throw out
[00:20:45] aspirin, and these countries all know this, so you've
[00:20:49] got...
[00:21:20] republican party will lose the house, so the democratic party take
[00:21:23] that, unsure the senate, but President
[00:21:27] Trump is going to get more angry, because then
[00:21:30] in the US political discourse, they start talking about him
[00:21:34] as a lame duck, that's going
[00:21:36] to infuriate him, so he's going to keep doing more and more, and we're going
[00:21:40] to see things like this where he just makes announcements and
[00:21:43] then he's going to coerse everybody to go along, the $100
[00:21:47] billion dollars, if that is accurate. number that he wants to
[00:21:51] give back to to Russia, um, the're 320
[00:21:55] billion, that's a third of it, that money was seized
[00:21:58] to pay for the damages that you
[00:22:02] that Russia has done to Ukraine, and now President Trump is
[00:22:05] saying, we want to give a third of it back to him, so this
[00:22:09] is this is going to get increasingly ugly, even
[00:22:12] if eventually there is some sort of a
[00:22:16] ceasefire with respect to the military component the war.
[00:22:21] Poland's police confirm it received information about a possible plot to assassinate the country's
[00:22:25] prime minister Donald Tusk and the defense minister as details are yet to emerge.
[00:22:29] Authorities called for

[00:28:15] Buyan is a political commentator, he joins me live from New York, sohil, you must
[00:28:19] have seen the pictures that we also coming out of New Delhi, many describe

[00:28:26] fortress, we saw pictures of Indian police
[00:28:30] detaining these protest. is what do you make
[00:28:33] of seeing th these scenes that we have all
[00:28:37] witnessed in India over the course the past few
[00:28:39] days? thank you for having me,
[00:28:43] so the immediate trigger the controversy over the
[00:28:47] India's special intense revision of
[00:28:50] electoral roles where 130 million names have
[00:28:54] been cut from the in the name the voter
[00:28:58] verification and the protests erupt the
[00:29:01] crackdown on the protest by the Delhi Police, remind
[00:29:05] us that how a government can become more
[00:29:09] authoritative, where it cannot tolerate the protest
[00:29:12] anymore, is not ready to hear what the young
[00:29:16] generations and gens have in their mind,
[00:29:20] intensifying this kind of crackdown actually
[00:29:23] remind us lot of autocratic ruler, their

[00:29:30] countries of India in last couple of years. How do you
[00:29:34] think these protests reflect on Prime Minister Narendra
[00:29:38] Modi's government, because certainly
[00:29:42] those who are watching these pictures from outside India, they must
[00:29:45] be wondering how come India got to this stage,
[00:29:49] because in the end India says it is the largest democracy

[00:30:01] India ' "now it's not
[00:30:04] just how democratic you think a country by its

[00:30:11] well. in last couple of years we have been looking at
[00:30:15] Narendra Modi's style of governance and how

[00:30:22] one almost like ethnic state where
[00:30:25] minorities, attacks on minorities are
[00:30:28] highlighted. if you look at the last election in
[00:30:32] west bengal of India,
[00:30:34] you have been seeing that the same strategy was

[00:30:42] removed to secure the ruling party,
[00:30:45] BJP's
[00:30:47] anonymous universal victory
[00:30:51] there, many analysts are now
[00:30:54] fearful that if Narendra Modi taken the same strategy
[00:30:58] and it just prolong its own...
[00:31:02] this role over the India by making the voter list
