[00:01:01] of [00:01:15] We start this hour in Saudi Arabia where authorities say another projectile [00:01:19] has hit Riyad's main airport causing fire. The attacks come less than day [00:01:23] after a missile strike at [00:01:24] in the same airport killed 13 people and injured more than [00:01:28] 300 others. The Buthis have claimed responsibility for the attack, the [00:01:32] militia has also warned airlines and travelers to stay away from Saudi [00:01:36] airports. Basambini, begins our [00:01:38] coverage. Saudi Arabia has been [00:01:42] hit hard, deep inside its [00:01:45] of territory. There was panic inside the domestic terminals of King Khalid [00:01:49] International Airport in Riyad after it was truck [00:01:53] by a missile on Saturday afternoon. The Saudi led military [00:01:57] in coalition describes what happened as a for crime vowing, [00:02:01] decisive response. A projectile also landed [00:02:06] of near King Fahad International Airport in Damasmam. [00:02:09] The Saudis blame the Ansar [00:02:12] of Allah Hothies from neighboring Yeman for the attacks. The UN [00:02:16] secretary general also pointed the finger at the [00:02:19] group. Antonio gutieres demanded that [00:02:23] the attack stop immediately. The [00:02:26] Iran-backed group said it carried out separate. strikes on [00:02:30] Riyad's main airport on Thursday, killing three people and [00:02:34] damaging an aircraft, but they haven't claimed [00:02:37] responsibility for Saturday's strike. Hours [00:02:41] before, the Huties had said they were prepared [00:02:45] to take [00:02:46] of reciprocal steps with Saudi Arabia to keep airports, [00:02:49] seaports and other civilian facilities used for [00:02:52] humanitarian purposes out [00:02:55] of the expanding confrontation. The question now [00:02:59] is whether or... [00:03:05] of [00:03:10] of [00:03:14] able to defend, look the [00:03:16] Well they're Saudis are good fighters, [00:03:18] of but I think the attack [00:03:19] was terrible thing. The Hutis have already put pressure on [00:03:23] Saudi Arabia through their control [00:03:25] of the Babel Mandab straight, through which much of Saudi [00:03:29] Arabia. oil exports are [00:03:31] shipped, but in the past week, the Yemani [00:03:35] government forces, backed by Saudi Arabia have [00:03:39] made some progress in pushing back the Hi [00:03:42] advance. They claimed on Saturday to have killed more [00:03:46] than [00:03:48] of 1,400 Houti fighters in 24 hours. [00:03:52] The next move could determine not only the state of this [00:03:56] of conflict, [00:03:57] of but whether the region again.

He warned Saudi airports are [00:04:54] unsafe accept Makka and Madina and vote escalate [00:04:57] until the sages lefted according. to his words, [00:05:01] meanwhile, as operations Done of Yemen continues, Yemen's [00:05:04] government forces announced over a thousand precise strikes [00:05:08] against hothy fighters using worplanes, drones and [00:05:12] artillery neutralizing hundreds offi fighters with [00:05:16] advances ongoing.

Ashrab shaman has the latest: currently [00:07:25] Israel controls more than 70% in reality, [00:07:28] because we are here, we see this with our own eyes, [00:07:31] 64%, that was maybe two months ago [00:07:35] according to to international agencies working in Gaza, but [00:07:39] almost every hour, every day far is... forces are [00:07:43] creeping further west uh right now [00:07:46] more than 2 million people in Gaza are living in less than [00:07:50] 30% of of of Gaza's territory, Gaza is to [00:07:54] be 360 square kilometers [00:07:57] approximately and now people are living within about 100 [00:08:01] kilometers and even the 100 kilometers are not safe because you have [00:08:05] daily air strikes, tank fire, sniper fire [00:08:08] even random fire by machine guns you know they they just... [00:08:12] open the fire on anything that moves, they open the [00:08:16] fires, they they they move their machine guns to the western [00:08:20] part of Gaza, so the majority the [00:08:23] territory that Israeli forces are pointing their forces at is [00:08:26] towards the west, towards the mediterranean, while in some areas like [00:08:30] Betlahya and Northern Gaza, they point their guns towards [00:08:34] the south, and in the south they point to towards the [00:08:37] north, and it's not only that Jafar, even in the [00:08:41] in the Mediterranean.

[00:11:41] amil harazen is a word man with what could be very harsh [00:11:44] winter around the corner. he's deeply concerned for [00:11:48] his family who live a tent. i'm trying to [00:11:52] secure my tent. [00:11:53] i have newborn baby. is less than a week old and three young [00:11:56] children, last year we suffered badly when a storm hit, so i [00:12:00] need to be prepared this time. this year the conditions [00:12:04] could be much worse for the people in Gaza already suffering due [00:12:08] to Israel's devastating war on the strip. for [00:12:12] families living in fragile shelters, even basic preparations [00:12:15] may not be enough, war damaged homes and obliterated [00:12:19] infrastructure leave many displacement sites [00:12:23] vulnerable to flooding as well. [00:12:25] collapse, we heard that very [00:12:28] powerful storm may be coming our way, it could destroy homes, let [00:12:32] alone tents, we put our trust in god, my tent is [00:12:36] so fragile that even a light storm could destroy it, [00:12:40] imagine what this storm could do, the storm he's [00:12:44] referring to is the elninu weather phenomena, [00:12:47] scientists are warning about its catastrophic effects which could [00:12:51] settle firmly by December, and in Gaza, its [00:12:55] repercussions could make life even worse. According to the [00:12:59] International Organization for migration, IOM, [00:13:03] around 1.8 million people are living in displacement sites [00:13:06] across the wartorn territory. More than [00:13:09] 80% the tents and makeshift [00:13:12] shelters are in poor condition, while only [00:13:15] 17% of winter shelter needs have been [00:13:18] met, we're dreading the winter as well [00:13:22] as the storm. The rain could flood our tent. leaking in from [00:13:26] above and sweeping in from below. We have almost [00:13:30] nothing to protect ourselves with. We lie awake at night, [00:13:33] worried about the rain [00:13:35] and the strong winds. There is no end to the [00:13:38] suffering. With little protection from the [00:13:41] rain, families fear the destruction the shelters and the exposure to [00:13:45] the cold. As palestinians prepare to face another harsh [00:13:49] winter, they brace themselves for the worst, am mid Israel's refusal to [00:13:53] allow adequate shelter.

Locals managed to salvage only 15 banks of olives [00:14:19] but vowd to return in large numbers to defend their land. Muhammad Elwan [00:14:23] has the story. [00:14:34] to access them under the shadow of Israels and illegal [00:14:37] occupation together the residents of anya brute village in [00:14:41] the occupied west bank set out on Sunday to harvest their olive [00:14:45] trees keeping alive a tradition known as [00:14:48] Alana where people help each other pick the [00:14:52] crop another reason for this unity is to protect their [00:14:56] land from illegal Israeli settlers who have taken over large [00:15:00] areas. Israel has declared the area a closed military zone, [00:15:04] preventing Palestinians from accessing their own land. for [00:15:07] this land owner, even trying to access his property [00:15:11] could lead to arrest, he has chosen not to show his [00:15:15] face feeling [00:15:16] detention. we have come to harvest [00:15:20] our own olives. these are our village trees inherited from our fathers [00:15:24] and grandfathers. Thank god, our spirits are high because we are [00:15:27] standing on our own land, we are not here to steal or harm [00:15:30] anyone, they are the ones coming to us stealing our [00:15:33] harvest, residents had been on their land for just an... hour [00:15:37] when illegal settlers attacked, minutes later, Israeli forces [00:15:41] arrived, the head the village council could only watch as [00:15:45] residents were forced to leave for their own [00:15:48] safety, illegal settlers ramped the village [00:15:52] council's vehicle, forcing it off the road, attacked [00:15:56] residents and tried to run people over, they [00:15:59] then trave stones at olive pickers from higher ground while [00:16:02] Israeli forces fired stunt grenades at the [00:16:06] Palestinians. Illegal settlers were seen cutting away [00:16:10] the stolen olive harvest and heading towards the top the [00:16:13] mountain, they had previously taken over. [00:16:17] The Palestinians have been forced to leave, but they remained determined to [00:16:21] return and harvest their olives. What happened here reflects a [00:16:24] wider pattern across the occupied West Bank, where illegal settler [00:16:28] violence continues escalate. Across the [00:16:31] occupied West bank, more than 10 attacks are reported [00:16:35] daily with illegal settler stealing. harvests in front [00:16:39] their owners and using equipment to speed up the [00:16:42] process.

Turkish head of [00:17:12] communications branitin duran has condemned Israeli defense minister [00:17:15] Israel's remarks targeting president and [00:17:19] Turkey. Diran says the comments reflect political [00:17:22] desperation ahead of Israel's upcoming [00:17:24] elections. Baseless accusations against [00:17:28] Turkia cannot conceal the Israeli government's record of genocide in [00:17:32] Gaza or its continued aggressive policies in our region. [00:17:36] Cuts explicit. death threats against individuals involved in sece fire [00:17:40] and peace negotiations are yet another manifestation the Israeli [00:17:44] government's disregard for international law, turkey will continue to [00:17:48] defend the legitimate rights the palestinian people, justice and lasting [00:17:52] peace. the Israeli government's threats, provocations and smart [00:17:56] campaigns will not deter our country from its steadfast [00:18:00] commitment to upholding what is right and [00:18:02] just. at least 13 people have been killed [00:18:06] in aerial attack a gold mine in Sudan near the Egyptian border, that's [00:18:10] according to the Sudan doctors network. It occurred in the very [00:18:13] north of Sudan's river Niila state. Egypt has previously carried [00:18:17] out attacks in this area accusing Sudanese minors of border violations [00:18:21] or mismuggling. The neither Sudanese or Egyptian [00:18:25] officials have commented on Saturday's incident [00:18:27] yet. Abdullah Hussein has [00:18:30] more. The Sudan doctors Network, the [00:18:34] organization said it's also reporting dozens of casualties. but [00:18:38] uh they also mentioned that the figures remained uh preliminary, [00:18:42] some workers and eyewitnesses have accused the Egyptian military of [00:18:45] carrying out uh the reported striks, but that [00:18:49] has not been independently verified yet, neither the Sudanese [00:18:53] nor the Egyptian military has public publicly commented uh [00:18:57] so far on the incident. what makes this uh particularly sensitive [00:19:01] is that this is not the first reported uh incident in this [00:19:05] area, similar strikes were reportted. in June, last June [00:19:09] when Egyptian authorities said uh they were conducting security [00:19:12] operations against illegal mining, smuggling and border [00:19:16] crossings. Sudanese miners were also reported killed and [00:19:20] injured at that time, and uh this is [00:19:23] major uh livelihood issue in Sudan. artisanal [00:19:27] mining uh supports more than 2 million people, according to latest [00:19:31] statistics and accounts for more than 80% the country's [00:19:34] gold production, with the war destroying a... or sources of [00:19:38] income, many Sudanese have turned to these remote mining [00:19:42] areas to [00:19:42] survive. [00:19:57] US president Donald Trump says Russia and Ukraine have agreed to halt a [00:20:01] strikes on each other's energy infrastructure. Donald Trump made the announcement on his [00:20:04] truth social platform without giving further details. [00:20:50] is not only Ukraine, Russia as well have not made a comment on this [00:20:53] announcement yet, Russia hasn't made a comment and Ukraine, Zelinsky has [00:20:57] said that he's surprised but he would welcome a cease fire, [00:21:01] meanwhile Ursolov underline the EU came out and [00:21:05] voiced her support for Zelinski, voice the support the [00:21:09] EU for Zelinski, clearly there's a row between the [00:21:12] Ukrainian leader and President Donald Trump, their [00:21:16] relationship was always rocky even once Trump got elected for his. in [00:21:20] terms i came to the white house and that meeting got very [00:21:23] tense and since then they've had some ups and downs, but of course [00:21:27] now the big elephant in the room is the newuh diesel [00:21:31] deal with Russia and Russia has now uh committed to [00:21:35] supply uh the United States with extra diesel [00:21:39] after Trump's call with President Vladimir Putin [00:21:42] so uh with with that bearing that in mind and the [00:21:46] elections coming and the high gas prices and the pressure. on the [00:21:50] Republican Party and President Donald Trump, [00:21:53] um, the president's thinking about lot of different factors [00:21:57] here, including the elections, and Ukrainian [00:22:01] strikes on Russian oil infrastructure is only going to bring [00:22:05] oil prices up, so uh, the president wants to [00:22:09] avoid that, but what's happening today is another [00:22:12] surreal turn of events, uh, what's the strategy here? [00:22:16] it could be wishful thinking, right, president Trump the [00:22:20] ceasefire, but he comes out and announces a ceasefire that's [00:22:24] news to Ukraine's president, the same president [00:22:28] that President Donald Trump called to be replaced [00:22:31] yesterday, which was also a very, very [00:22:34] surprising and surreal turn of events, and now the EU's [00:22:38] backing Ukraine's president and meanwhile [00:22:42] president Donald Trump here in Washington is making [00:22:46] announcements that the other parties haven't even commented on and that's... [00:22:50] the current situation here in Washington DC: [00:22:54] Ukrainian territory an eventual [00:22:55] ceasefire. Right now, the [00:22:59] the real estate issue is about [00:23:02] 20% of Dunetsk, [00:23:05] which is the Luhansk, Ollas, Donetsobras, these [00:23:08] are like like provinces, and it makes up the [00:23:12] Dunbas and the Russian Federation has been saying, we [00:23:16] want that remaining 20% that we have not yet. [00:23:20] taken, Ukraine is saying, we're not giving you something that [00:23:24] you haven't militarily taken. One [00:23:28] proposal that's been around for now nearing three years [00:23:31] is for Ukraine to move the [00:23:34] border of Dunetsk to where the [00:23:38] Russian army is, and in that [00:23:41] way President Putin can claim he has [00:23:44] 100%, and Ukraine is retaining its [00:23:48] territory, but not giving anything. that Russia has taken, [00:23:51] so there is a [00:23:54] solution, the challenge as you talked [00:23:57] about, [00:23:59] with with respect to reputation in the US, president Trump is [00:24:03] a day-to-day guy, he's not necessarily a [00:24:07] week to week guy, a month to month guy, year to year [00:24:10] guy, and so he's looking at [00:24:13] the next two years, 12 o'clock, January 20th, [00:24:16] 2029, his term finishes. between now [00:24:20] and then he believes he is the most [00:24:24] powerful individual on the planet and that [00:24:28] he can do what he wants, and eventually people [00:24:32] will come around to doing what he wants, but even if [00:24:35] they don't [00:24:36] do what he wants, he will declare victory and move to [00:24:40] the next issue, and he has three [00:24:44] tools, tariffs, sanctions and visa [00:24:47] restrictions that are his goat. it's it's sort of his go- [00:24:51] bag, it's his doctor's bag, he opens them up and he's going to throw [00:24:55] them out like doctor would throw out aspirin, and these [00:24:58] countries all know this, so you've got Russia and [00:25:02] Ukraine looking, okay, how do we get through the next two [00:25:06] years, and you have the European Union, [00:25:09] NATO, you, [00:25:10] the United Nations, regional actors, President [00:25:14] Erdogan and Turquia, all trying to figure out how do [00:25:18] we get through the next? two years with this guy [00:25:22] where the the mid-term elections for our house [00:25:25] and senate and our US congress or November the [00:25:28] 3rd, likely the the Republican [00:25:32] Party will lose the house, so the Democratic party take that, [00:25:36] unsure the Senate, but President Trump is [00:25:40] going to get more angry, because then in the US [00:25:44] political discourse, they start talking about him as a lame [00:25:47] duck, that's going to infuriate him, so he's... to keep doing more [00:25:51] and more and we're going to see things like this where he just makes [00:25:54] announcements and then he's going to coerse everybody [00:25:57] to go along. the $100 billion dollars, if that is [00:26:01] accurate number. that he wants to give back to to [00:26:04] Russia, um, the're 320 billion, that's a third of it, [00:26:08] that money was seized to pay for [00:26:12] the damages that you that Russia has done to Ukraine, and now [00:26:16] President Trump is saying, we want to give a third of it back to him, [00:26:20] so this is this is going to get increasingly [00:26:23] ugly, even if eventually there is some [00:26:27] sort of a ceasefire with respect to the military component the [00:26:31] war.
