[00:01:08] of gather again in the center
[00:01:14] of of in of the capital for a third of day, and in Pakistan, a state of emergency is in place, the provincial leader arrested in the northern stronghold a
[00:01:18] former prime minister Imran Khan, where the calls gone out for
[00:01:21] thousands to take to the streets, will bring you the latest on all these stories and
[00:01:25] so much more in your news hour, starting
[00:01:29] now.
[00:01:36] of in
[00:01:38] a
[00:01:42] of Days of
[00:01:43] of attacks on Saudi Arabia's capital are shaking the kingdom and
[00:01:47] raising questions about what comes next for the region. The
[00:01:51] Saudi energy minister is describing the attacks by the Antserala
[00:01:55] Hutis from neighboring Yemen as being serious and needing
[00:01:58] of equally serious. response, the airport has been hit
[00:02:02] three
[00:02:03] a times in five days, killing 16 people.
[00:02:06] hundreds of Monday's flights
[00:02:08] of out of Riyad have already
[00:02:09] of been cancelled with damage assessments and
[00:02:12] of safety inspections underway. Iran's foreign minister has phoneed
[00:02:16] his saudi
[00:02:17] a counterpart to say Tehran is ready to help facilitate talks with the
[00:02:21] hooties. Abbas
[00:02:23] of a Arakchi stressed there's no military solution to this
[00:02:27] of crisis. of At the same time, Donald Trump is weighing up a US
[00:02:30] response and if it should launch attacks on the hooties
[00:02:34] long
[00:02:35] of allied with Iran. Basambini begins our
[00:02:38] coverage. Saudi Arabia's main
[00:02:42] international airport has come
[00:02:44] of under attack for the
[00:02:45] of third of time in 5
[00:02:47] of days. Authorities say a projectile struck
[00:02:51] terminal four 24 hours after Saturday's
[00:02:58] a of attack that killed 13
[00:02:59] of of people and injured more than 300. the Ansarullah Hies claimed
[00:03:03] a responsibility. The Yemani armed
[00:03:07] of forces carried out four qualitative operations in the past
[00:03:10] 24 hours using ballistic and cruise
[00:03:14] missiles and drones. Fearing further
[00:03:17] of tacks, Saudi authorities moved schools online and closed
[00:03:21] the affected
[00:03:23] of airports. Live flight
[00:03:28] of in tracking data shows disruption to hundreds of flights around the capital. and in the eastern
[00:03:31] province, despite the
[00:03:33] of attacks, Saudi officials sought to project confidence as
[00:03:38] of energy ministers and industry leaders gathered in
[00:03:41] Riyadh for the 17th international energy forum
[00:03:45] meeting. Saudi resilience
[00:03:49] and foresite, I think by now
[00:03:52] people take it as
[00:03:55] of given. of of Saudi Arabia remained resilient, no one
[00:03:59] of can shake our. determination to sustain our
[00:04:02] a progress and fulfill our commitments.
[00:04:05] security concerns remain high across the region
[00:04:09] with turkey calling it clear violation of
[00:04:13] international law, joining the condonation of its
[00:04:17] partner in the mecca agreement. i
[00:04:20] believe that what the huties are doing in this regard is extremely
[00:04:23] of regrettable and no amount of condemnation is enough. Pakistan has
[00:04:27] repeatedly time and again including today, said that this campaign the
[00:04:31] hoothis are waging against the saudis has no
[00:04:33] of justification of whatsoever. Saudi state media has now
[00:04:37] reported that Iranian farm
[00:04:40] of of minister of of Abbas Arakshi offered riyad
[00:04:42] of assistance to facilitate talks with the hoothies. The other side
[00:04:46] of of the story is unfolding in
[00:04:49] of Yeman. Fierce clashes are escalating
[00:04:52] there. Hi run tv broadcast
[00:04:56] footage. It said showed fighters chasing Saudi back.
[00:05:02] of
[00:05:05] it of is another sign that with diplomacy
[00:05:08] stored,
[00:05:10] of the guns are still doing the talking, but
[00:05:16] And we'll be getting updates from our correspondents in the region. Ra

[00:06:44] also to recapture these important and
[00:06:47] strategic uh areas which are which could be described as the
[00:06:51] gate towards Babel mandab. The Houthies mentioned that they
[00:06:55] have targeted mobilizations towards these
[00:06:59] areas. They are still in these areas there are different areas the are

[00:08:11] first clutch. and also the escalation by both sides, we are
[00:08:15] witnessing a turning point, and dangerous turning point that
[00:08:19] continue to harm and danger and put civilians
[00:08:22] in danger. thank you so much for bringing us that update, mohammed
[00:08:25] alatab there in sana.
[00:08:29] we joined now by Raza Hatami in Tehran, and Razza, we're
[00:08:33] hearing that Iran's foreign minister has been speaking to his Saudi counterpart
[00:08:37] saying that Tehran is willing to facilitate any sort
[00:08:41] of dialogue. between Riyad and Sannah, what more do we
[00:08:45] know?
[00:08:48] yes, yashnit, despite height and tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia, the
[00:08:52] two countries continued diplomatic contact at the highest level.
[00:08:56] Iran's foreign minister Abbas Arachchi had a phone conversation with his Saudi
[00:09:00] counterpart Faisal bin Farhan, he said that the
[00:09:04] war in Yemen, the situation between
[00:09:07] Yemen and Saudi Arabia at the moment doesn't have a military
[00:09:11] solution and Iranian top diplomat called for diplomatic
[00:09:15] solution to end the war, to settle the
[00:09:18] conflict between the two neighboring countries, adding that
[00:09:22] Tehran is ready to facilitate talks,
[00:09:25] facilitate negotiations between the warring parties. this
[00:09:29] stance was reiterated in today's
[00:09:33] weekly press conference by Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Ismail
[00:09:37] Baqayi saying that Iran wants an end of war in the
[00:09:41] Arabian pen. saying that this war only serves
[00:09:45] Israely interests as two muslim countries are at
[00:09:49] war, but Iran is also critical the Saudi blockade
[00:09:53] of Yemen. Iran says that the Saudi blockade shouldn't have been
[00:09:57] in place in the first place, and
[00:10:00] also Iran says that the Saudi attack on
[00:10:04] Sana airport in July of this year
[00:10:07] escalated and accelerated this conflict.
[00:10:11] Iran stands. is that for Yemeni waring parties
[00:10:15] to return to a 2022 UN backed uh
[00:10:19] road map for peace, Iran has said that
[00:10:23] yemeny talks should take place and both
[00:10:27] warring factions of Yemen should return to that
[00:10:30] 2022 road map and and Iran supports that
[00:10:34] top of that Iran also supports talks between Saudi Arabia
[00:10:38] and Huties and of course when it comes to talks, Iran
[00:10:41] is still trying to bring about some sort of deal between itself and the United
[00:10:45] States as the war there continues, but we have heard from Iran's
[00:10:49] security chief saying that Washington has accepted
[00:10:53] seven conditions for deal to end the war, but he says that
[00:10:57] is still not
[00:10:58] enough.
[00:11:02] Well, Iran says that the United States should accept all of its seven
[00:11:06] demands, among them granting sanctions wavers for Iran's
[00:11:09] oil and petrol chemical products, release of billions of
[00:11:13] dollars in Iranian assets, a broad end of a
[00:11:17] US naval blockade and end of Israel attacks on Lebanon are
[00:11:21] among those five Iranian demands. Iran's top security chief mo he
[00:11:25] said that the United States has accepted some these demands without
[00:11:29] specifying which ones, but he also said that the United States has been
[00:11:33] ambiguous about some others of Iranian demands
[00:11:36] and he called on the United States to be transparent
[00:11:40] about it stance on all of Iran's seven
[00:11:44] demands. Iranian stance is that unless the United State,
[00:11:48] the United States accepts all of Iranian demands, all
[00:11:52] of Iranian preconditions, there will be No more
[00:11:55] negotiations, again this stance was reiterated by Ismail
[00:11:58] Baqayi, the Iranian foreign ministry
[00:12:02] spokesperson at his monday's weekly press
[00:12:05] conference. Iran also says that
[00:12:07] it is in firm control the straight of Formus. Iranian
[00:12:11] state media report that at least three vessels have
[00:12:14] hit naval mines in the straight of Formus. Iranian
[00:12:18] IRGC says that any ship that turns off its GPS,
[00:12:22] turns off its navigation system will be as hostile
[00:12:26] and could be attacked by Iran, so
[00:12:29] Iranians are insisting that they are in
[00:12:33] control the state of hormos and they are warning that if the United States attacks
[00:12:37] Iran again, this time around the Iranian response will be
[00:12:41] broader and wider. Okay, thank you so much,
[00:12:45] Rezami there for us in Iran's capital, we
[00:12:49] can get analysis on this now with Moham Guda, he is a middle east
[00:12:52] analyst and a professor of Middle East
[00:12:57] It's always good to speak to you on the news hour,
[00:13:00] so firstly Iran's offer to mediate, to
[00:13:04] facilitate talks between Saudi Arabia and the ansara
[00:13:07] hutis, this really is quite something given the geopolitical
[00:13:11] situation we see right now, and of course those extremely
[00:13:15] tense relations between Iran and Saudi
[00:13:18] Arabia, absolutely,
[00:13:22] actually Iran is trying to send several message. "at the
[00:13:25] same time, Iran is trying to seeing this as diplomatic
[00:13:28] opportunity to show itself as the
[00:13:32] entity that wants regional stability in the region, also it wants
[00:13:36] to reduce pressure on itself, it wants to send also
[00:13:39] some images and some messages to the US
[00:13:43] voter, to the American voter that Iran is a peaceful country, Iran
[00:13:47] wants more peace and wants to stop the war, and but still as you
[00:13:51] mentioned there is definitely a credibility problem here when it comes to..."
[00:13:55] 'Iran's relationship with Saudi Arabia, I think it will be very hard for Saudi
[00:13:59] Arabia to accept this offer, at least explicitly, I think it will
[00:14:03] be very hard for Saudi Arabia to take this offer for now, if
[00:14:06] Riya does accept that offer, even if it is maybe not
[00:14:10] publicly, does that play well then into Tehran's
[00:14:14] call for its Gulf neighbors to solve problems
[00:14:18] among each other rather than reaching out to foreign
[00:14:22] powers to resolve issues in the region?'
[00:14:26] Of course, but to be honest with you, at the same time I think
[00:14:30] the Saudi leadership, I think it will be very hard for them to
[00:14:34] accept this offer, because explicitly saying it, the image
[00:14:38] of Saudi suddenly kneeling down and
[00:14:42] and with this kind of attacks suddenly going and throwing itself to the hands of
[00:14:46] Iran, I think this is an image that the Saudi leadership doesn't
[00:14:49] want to do at least explicitly, but if we agree
[00:14:53] that maybe it can happen and the curtains definitely this will be
[00:14:57] something that will be working with
[00:15:00] the with the Americans by all means so it will be under the control
[00:15:04] the US, maybe in that case maybe there will be some
[00:15:08] good news, maybe there will be some silver linings for the whole region at the end the
[00:15:11] day, however I think the possibility is quite quite small to be
[00:15:15] honest with you, but of course we have to wait and see,
[00:15:19] but as far as and I will mention this quickly as far as
[00:15:23] I have been noticing and and seeing the news about the
[00:15:26] current conference the the energy in Saudi
[00:15:30] Arabia, the messages is coming that Saudi is resilient, they are
[00:15:33] willing to go to proceed with whatever they want to do, so I think the... which
[00:15:37] is so far is against what Iran wants to
[00:15:41] argue, when it comes to the fighting that's taking
[00:15:45] place in Yemen itself, the Hithis, of course we know they are
[00:15:48] supported by Iran, but Tehran's leaders have said they aren't telling
[00:15:52] the Huti leadership what to do, but how big of
[00:15:56] influence does Teran actually have on SNA at this
[00:15:59] point and leverage when it comes to how the Hutis play this
[00:16:03] out both diplomatically and militarily.
[00:16:08] well to be honest
[00:16:09] with you, it's also something that was much expected, mean
[00:16:12] everybody was expecting that Iran will use its regional
[00:16:16] cronies all over the region with its current
[00:16:20] escalation between US, Iran and so on, so it they waited
[00:16:24] for a long time the hoouties to start their
[00:16:26] escalation and it's notic noticeable why they
[00:16:30] waited so much time, because with the kind kind of weapons that they
[00:16:33] have and the kind of missiles they have, this is definitely some
[00:16:37] think that that that's shaking I think many their
[00:16:41] ideas about what hot is are capable of, so this is why I
[00:16:45] think Saudis and even the regional powers in the region, some them
[00:16:49] were surprised by the abilities of hootis, Iran is trying to say that they
[00:16:53] are not controlings, well this might be the case, but still it's the same
[00:16:56] ideology, same dogma, same goals, so it doesn't have to be
[00:17:00] a direct line, but they share almost the same same
[00:17:04] goals, they have the same goals actually, so I don't think
[00:17:08] they are, they are a very different situation
[00:17:12] between themselves, you think they're working in Kohots at
[00:17:14] least. Professor Good, it's always good to speak to you and get
[00:17:18] your thoughts. Thanks so much for your time. My
[00:17:22] pleasure, thank
[00:17:23] you.
[00:17:30] President Voladimir Zelensky says Russia has attacked Ukraine's energy
[00:17:34] facilities despite a truce announced by the US president. Donald
[00:17:38] Trump, Trump said Moscow and Keve had agreed to stop targeting each other's
[00:17:42] energy infrastructure. He announced the deal on social media,
[00:17:45] but didn't share any further details. It comes days after Trump struck
[00:17:49] deal with the Russian president Vladimir Putin to buy large
[00:17:53] quantities of
[00:17:54] diesel.
[00:18:01] Okay, these are live pictures that we're getting from Warsaw or rather from
[00:18:05] Keeve, Poland with... "the Ukrainian president
[00:18:09] is speaking and he's been talking about this
[00:18:13] energy deal that Donald Trump had put out on social
[00:18:16] media just on Sunday and Zelensky saying they are waiting
[00:18:20] for details the conversation between the Americans and the
[00:18:24] Russians saying that this energy cease fire can
[00:18:28] work, but Zelensky has also said that Russia has
[00:18:31] committed violations the energy ceasefire, that was just over the
[00:18:35] weekend after President..." Trump announced it uh,
[00:18:39] but the Ukraine's president says his country is ready to respect an
[00:18:43] energy ceasefire, only if Russia does the
[00:18:47] same, and says that if Russia wants Ukraine to stop the
[00:18:51] attacks its refineries, it must also stop attacking
[00:18:54] Ukraine's energy
[00:18:56] infrastructure. Okay,
[00:19:00] we'll get more on the story, now correspondent standing by Dasha
[00:19:03] Chenashover is in Moscow, but we're going to start with Peter.
[00:19:08] in Kieve and Peter, I've just been reading out some the latest comments
[00:19:12] there that we are getting from President Zelensky quite similar
[00:19:16] to what we heard from him earlier on, saying Ukraine
[00:19:19] is willing to give this energy cease fire a go, but only if
[00:19:23] Russia does the
[00:19:24] same,
[00:19:29] yeah, absolutely, this is this is nothing new, actually, this is actually been Zelensky's
[00:19:33] position for some time now, the Ukrainians have prov
[00:19:36] proposed. energy seasfire a number of
[00:19:39] occasions in recent months, but now uh trump
[00:19:43] with Trump increasing the pressure on Ukraine in recent
[00:19:47] days regarding
[00:19:48] their attacks on Russia's energy system, the issue of a
[00:19:52] bilateral of a mutual seas far is again on the
[00:19:55] agenda and Zelensky's been very very unambiguous
[00:19:59] about this, he said openly yes we're ready to do this like immediately, we can begin
[00:20:03] this cefire at this at this exact moment
[00:20:07] but needs to be, it needs to be mutual, it needs to be bilateral. Ukraine
[00:20:10] can't simply stop defending itself as they see it,
[00:20:14] with these attacks on Russia's refineries, it needs to be mutual and Ukraine needs
[00:20:18] to receive assurances from the Russian side that the Russian attacks on
[00:20:22] Ukraine's civilian power system and civilian infrastructure
[00:20:26] in general will will stop, and these attacks that we've seen in recent days also
[00:20:30] on Ukraine's residential districts on the civilian
[00:20:33] population. Thanks very much, Peter Dickinson there in
[00:20:36] Ukraine's. capital to moscow, now we can speak to
[00:20:40] Dasha, Dasha, we're getting plenty of reaction from the
[00:20:44] Ukrainian leader, but has the criminan
[00:20:46] sanything?
[00:20:50] Well the Kremlin is yet to comment on this proposal by the US
[00:20:54] president, but given the previous statements that we have been receiving from the
[00:20:58] Russian officials, it's quite unlikely that Moscow would agree to any sort the
[00:21:01] cease fire because they consider those cease fire es energy true or
[00:21:05] the cease fire for the holding the elections in Ukraine as the band
[00:21:09] eight solution which is going to give time to Ukraine uh in terms
[00:21:13] of regrouping, rearming and remobilizing something that Moscow
[00:21:17] says it cannot afford at this stage so... Russian side has
[00:21:20] been saying that they remain open for the negotiations, even
[00:21:24] in light the statements coming from Ukraine
[00:21:28] following the diesel deal between Russia and the United States and also
[00:21:32] been hearin in Moscow some the warnings that the European
[00:21:36] countries that have all been quite openly against this diesel deal
[00:21:40] uh they may be pushing Ukraine to commit provocations
[00:21:43] um in this conflict so that the diesel deal between Russia and
[00:21:47] the US is derailed but otherwise there are... lots of statements coming
[00:21:51] from the Russian analytical community, they have been saying that
[00:21:55] perhaps one the prerequisites for the energy
[00:21:59] cease fire might have been Russia uh seeing some
[00:22:02] easing the energy sanctions and that is actually
[00:22:06] something that we are seeing now with the US uh actually
[00:22:10] given the waver to purchase the Russian diesel
[00:22:14] products and diesel and Russia vowing to remove the ban
[00:22:18] on the expert its diesel products. earlier than planned as well,
[00:22:22] so in that sense they say they choice may be different from the
[00:22:25] Russian side these time, however we've seen before, the US
[00:22:29] announcing that sease fire in terms the energy infrastructure, and
[00:22:33] Moscow has not agreed to that, because obviously everyone understands that
[00:22:37] Russia is heating the Ukrainian energy infrastructure and the winter
[00:22:41] is coming, so Russia is saying that they are repairing their all
[00:22:45] refineries, well there is more pressure put on Ukraine in terms
[00:22:48] the Russian attacks. on the Ukrainian energy facilities. Thanks for bringing
[00:22:52] us reaction there. Dusha
[00:22:54] Chen shova in Moscow. Well, since 2022,
[00:22:58] Ukraine has been targeting Russia's energy infrastructure to deprive
[00:23:02] Moscow of resources to fund its military. It's long
[00:23:06] range drone attacks on Russian oil refineries have intensified over
[00:23:10] the past 18 months. Ukraine's strikes aim to disrupt one
[00:23:14] of Russia's key sources of revenue its oil industry.
[00:23:17] Now in June this year Russian. refinery output fell to
[00:23:21] 3.8 million barrels per day its lowest level in
[00:23:25] more than 20 years and around 30% below the same
[00:23:29] period just year earlier. with 32 major
[00:23:32] refineries and roughly 6.5 million barrels per day,
[00:23:36] Russia has historically been the world's third largest producer of
[00:23:40] refined oil products like gasoline, diesel and jet
[00:23:43] fuel, but now with supplies under pressure, Moscow has moved to
[00:23:47] restrict fuel exports in an effort to protect its
[00:23:51] domestic market. In the first eight months of this year,
[00:23:54] average, a Russian refinery has been hit once every
[00:23:58] 3 days. These refineries closer to Ukraine have been
[00:24:01] attacked repeatedly, but some reportedly struck as many as 15
[00:24:05] times since the start the war. Well, let's
[00:24:09] get more on this now with economist Cornelia Mayor and energy
[00:24:13] expert and the CEO of Mayor Resources. She's in
[00:24:17] Burn, Switzerland. Thank you so much for. joining
[00:24:20] us, so we've just been talking about
[00:24:24] Russia, its oil supplies, diesel, since this war started,
[00:24:28] it seems to have taken a really big hit, but in real world
[00:24:32] market perspective, how much of an impact
[00:24:35] has have the Ukrainian strikes had on Russia's
[00:24:39] oil refineries? good morning and thank
[00:24:43] you very much for having me, well it has had an
[00:24:46] impact, maybe not as big as -
[00:24:50] as as we thought, but it has had an impact, the world is really
[00:24:54] running extremely low on diesel and that is
[00:24:58] important because right now in the northern hemisphere we
[00:25:02] are in the harvesting season and the and
[00:25:06] diesel and and agricultural
[00:25:09] equipment runs on diesel, so this
[00:25:12] is countries are feeling this, especially in Europe
[00:25:16] countries are feeling it about more than...
[00:25:20] percent of diesel is imported from from
[00:25:23] America, what we are lacking is
[00:25:26] the the diesel from the efficient refineries on the
[00:25:29] other side of hormous and also some the jet
[00:25:33] fuel, gasoline, diesel from the Asian
[00:25:36] efficient refineries who because the Iran war
[00:25:40] do not get enough rude supplies to really refine
[00:25:44] sufficient, so the world is really running
[00:25:48] very, very low on diesel.
[00:25:55] would that Russia would release more diesel for the United
[00:25:58] States, how will that impact this
[00:26:02] uh? "this problem that you've just outlined there for Europe and so much the
[00:26:06] world, will things start to get better?
[00:26:09] well, I think the deal is that Russia will export to
[00:26:13] the US, but maybe also to other countries, and what happens
[00:26:17] if is if there is more diesel in the US,
[00:26:20] um, the obviously prices will come down, and that's important for Donald
[00:26:24] Trump's mid-term elections, but also you know,
[00:26:28] there there was the talk of a diesel export
[00:26:31] ban'. from Russia
[00:26:33] to, which would have been
[00:26:37] very bad for Europe, which where I said, more than 50%
[00:26:41] the diesel, about 420,000 barrels a day in
[00:26:44] September are coming from from from the
[00:26:48] U.S., and Latin America gets about 600 thous to
[00:26:52] 700 thousand barrels a day, so
[00:26:55] so any relief is is a good
[00:26:59] thing, the issue is just, what will it do to? the
[00:27:02] Russia Ukraine conflict and clearly um
[00:27:06] clearly the uh the western governments are not very
[00:27:10] keen on the steel, they were keen a
[00:27:13] a cease
[00:27:14] fire on an energy ceasefire, but that seems not to be
[00:27:18] happening. If that cease fire though, and of course I am being
[00:27:21] optimistic here, if that cease fire with regards to energy was to go
[00:27:25] ahead, how quickly can Russia get back to its
[00:27:29] refining capacity where we could see levels? that they had
[00:27:33] before the war started, it will take
[00:27:36] time be, they will get there, but it will take time,
[00:27:40] because you still have sanctions and some things cannot be
[00:27:43] imported, so you know some things it takes to restore the
[00:27:47] refineries cannot be importted, so it will take more time,
[00:27:51] but they'll certainly work on it as hard as they can.
[00:27:55] cornelia mayor, really good to get your take, thanks so much for speaking to
[00:27:58] us, thank you very much indeed, it's time
[00:28:02] now. see what's happening in the world of business. Taibe Iden, we
[00:28:06] were just talking gas and oil, that's of course leading your bulletin as
[00:28:10] well. That's right, oil prices are now easing following that diesel
[00:28:13] deal that Trump announced, which you've been covering, which has helped uh
[00:28:17] alleviate some supply concerns. Let's take closer
[00:28:20] look.
[00:28:28] Oil prices fell on Monday as expectations of additional Russian diesel.
[00:28:32] supplies east concerns about global fuel shortages, but renewed
[00:28:36] attacks in the Middle East continue to threaten energy supplies and to keep
[00:28:40] investors cautious. International Benchmark Brent fell towards
[00:28:44] $104 a barrel after two-day rally, as US
[00:28:47] president Donald Trump said his administration had reached an agreement
[00:28:51] for Russia to provide hundreds of thousands of tons of diesel fuel. He
[00:28:55] also claimed Russia and Ukraine had agreed to immediate ceasefire
[00:28:59] attacks against energy infrastructure, the details remain
[00:29:03] unclear. On Sunday, Saudi Arabia's main airport was targeted
[00:29:07] again while another tanker was attacked in the street of Ramus,
[00:29:11] although crude exports from the Persian gulf continue to flow at
[00:29:15] rates close to pre-war levels. That also weighed on stock
[00:29:19] markets across Asia with South Korea's cost beat plunging more than 3 and a
[00:29:22] half percent. Meanwhile, the US dollar held near its strongest
[00:29:26] level a year and a half as escalating Middle East
[00:29:30] conflict kept investors worry. head of key US
[00:29:33] inflation data later this week that could influence monetary
[00:29:37] policy. Francesco Sassi is a professor of energy politics
[00:29:41] at the University of Oslo. He says Russian diesel could provide some
[00:29:45] relief to global markets, but much will depend on whether Moscow
[00:29:49] can export it without further
[00:29:51] restrictions. Let me say that
[00:29:55] Russia anticipated dedicting the embargo
[00:29:58] on fuel export because the agreement.
[00:30:02] with us, so I think and it's
[00:30:06] logible to expect that Russia demanded guarantees
[00:30:10] and safety guarantees from the US in order to be able to
[00:30:13] export this pisal fuel not just to the
[00:30:17] US but to the global markets, this is what Donald
[00:30:21] Trump has asserted, and at the same time you had
[00:30:24] seeking sanctions or
[00:30:27] Russian refined products import
[00:30:31] next April, so... "we are speaking about thick
[00:30:34] month window that could really shift
[00:30:38] the related between r and rus the war in
[00:30:42] ukraine and the very
[00:30:45] lightly possibility that ukraine continue to stripe
[00:30:49] against russian energy infrastructure because the
[00:30:52] sensitivity for the
[00:30:56] russian war chast
[00:30:59] during you but also because it global.
[00:31:02] oil prices are will continue to stay very high
[00:31:06] because of war around the straight of am moves
[00:31:10] between the US and Iran and there is incentive
[00:31:14] for. Ukraine to continue these strikes also because
[00:31:17] Russia has not stopped striking against the
[00:31:21] Ukrainian energy
[00:31:23] infrastructure. Now a quick look at some other
[00:31:27] stories we're following around the world. Global wheat prices fell for
[00:31:31] fourth straight day after US president Donald Trump said Russia and Ukraine had
[00:31:34] agreed to immediate energy cease fire. The move raised hopes that black
[00:31:38] sea shipping disruptions could ease helping grain supplies
[00:31:42] flow more freely. Ukrainian president. Vladimir Zelensky says
[00:31:46] Kief supports the truth, though traders are still waiting for
[00:31:49] confirmation from Moscow. The
[00:31:53] IMF says strong spending on AI infrastructure is helping keep
[00:31:57] global growth at around 3%. Asian economies that
[00:32:00] supply chips and other technology are seeing some the biggest
[00:32:04] gains, but the fund warns AI could also reshape around
[00:32:08] 40% of jobs over time. It says governments will
[00:32:12] need to manage the shift carefully so...
[00:32:15] the benefits of AI are shared more
[00:32:17] widely, and Elon Musk says
[00:32:20] Starlink will be priced affordably in India as it prepares to compete
[00:32:24] with Billionaire Mike Shambani's low-cost reliance
[00:32:28] Goo. His comments come just stays before Jio's
[00:32:32] parent company launches India's largest ever IPO,
[00:32:35] targeting valuation of $106 billion dollars.
[00:32:39] Musk has accused the Indian government of delaying Starling's entry to
[00:32:43] favor reliance. New Delhi
[00:32:46] tonight those updates to some other
[00:32:50] news now and Israeli forces have launched a drone attack on
[00:32:53] refugee camp in the south of Gaza killing two
[00:32:57] Palestinians. Paramedics say several people were wounded
[00:33:00] which is in the attack which struck the area near the city of
[00:33:04] Raffa. Thousands of Palestinians displaced by Israel's assault
[00:33:08] on the enclave have been forced to live in tents in
[00:33:10] almawasi. Israel's military.
[00:33:15] has been continuing to expand its so-called yellow line in the east of Gaza
[00:33:18] City, the line divides the enclave into two zones, an eastern
[00:33:22] area under Israeli military oversight and a western area where
[00:33:26] Palestinians can move with fewer restrictions. Military vehicles
[00:33:30] advanced beyond their existing positions in the shujaya neighborhood
[00:33:33] under cover of heavy gunfire and shelling. The UN says nearly
[00:33:37] two-thirds the strip is inaccessible to Palestinians or
[00:33:41] subject to severe restrictions.
[00:33:47] and israely and Israeli
[00:33:51] settlers have stormed the acsamos compound in occupied east
[00:33:55] Jerusalem, they enter the courtyard of al-Aqsa and performed prayers
[00:33:58] and rituals in front the dome the rock mosque. The compound
[00:34:02] and its surrounding areas are holy sites to Muslims and there have been increasing
[00:34:06] incursions by illegal settlers and far right activists in recent
[00:34:10] weeks.
[00:34:15] Palestinian farmers in the occupied west bank are vowing to defend their
[00:34:18] land from illegal Israeli settlers who stole half their harvest
[00:34:22] and some farming equipment on Sunday. The farmers in Aina
[00:34:26] Brut tried to harvest their olives but only managed to fill 15
[00:34:29] bags before being pushed back by Israeli forces who fired
[00:34:33] stun grenades. Muhammad Alwan has the
[00:34:35] story. It's their land, their
[00:34:39] farms and their olives. Yet the Palestinian farmers
[00:34:43] face a brutal battle. every autumn to access
[00:34:46] them under the shadow of Israeli guns and illegal
[00:34:50] occupation. Together, the residence of Anya Brude village in
[00:34:54] the occupied West bank set out on Sunday to harvest their olive
[00:34:57] trees, keeping alive a tradition known as
[00:35:01] Alona, where people help each other pick
[00:35:04] the crop. Another reason for this unity is to protect their
[00:35:08] land from illegal Israeli settlers who have taken
[00:35:11] over large areas. Israel has declared the area a military
[00:35:15] zone, preventing Palestinians from accessing their own
[00:35:18] land, for this land owner, even trying to access
[00:35:22] his property could lead to arrest,
[00:35:25] he has chosen not to show his face feeling
[00:35:28] detention. We have come to harvest
[00:35:32] our own olives, these are our village trees inherited from our fathers
[00:35:36] and grandfathers. Thank God, our spirits are high because we are
[00:35:40] standing on our own land, we are not here
[00:35:42] to steal or harm anyone, they are the ones coming. stealing our
[00:35:47] to harvest. us residents had been on their land for just an hour when illegal settlers
[00:35:51] attacked. minutes later Israeli forces arrived. the
[00:35:55] head the village council could only watch as residents were forced
[00:35:58] to leave for their own safety. illegal
[00:36:02] settlers ramped the village council's vehicle forcing it
[00:36:06] off the road, attacked residents and tried to run people
[00:36:10] over. they
[00:36:11] then trave stones at olive pickers from higher ground.
[00:36:15] Israeli forces fired stunt grenades at the
[00:36:18] Palestinians, illegal settlers were seen catting away
[00:36:22] the stolen olive harvest and heading towards the top the
[00:36:26] mountain, they had previous taken over. The
[00:36:29] Palestinians have been forced to leave, but they remained determined to
[00:36:33] return and harvest their olives. What happened here reflects a
[00:36:37] wider pattern across the occupied West Bank, where illegal settler violence
[00:36:41] continues escalate. Across the occupied West
[00:36:44] Bank, more than 10 attacks are reported daily with illegal
[00:36:48] settler stealing olive harvests in front their owners and
[00:36:52] using equipment to speed up the process. According
[00:36:56] to the agriculture. ministry, losses to palestinian's olive
[00:37:00] sector have exceeded $157
[00:37:03] million since 2023, with around
[00:37:07] 286, olive trees damaged in the
[00:37:11] west bank, the ministry fears these losses to rise
[00:37:14] as the harvest continues,
[00:37:18] muhammad world, ramallah, the occupied west bank
[00:37:21] economic devastation and
[00:37:25] continued israely attacks have. many residents displaced
[00:37:29] from southern Lebanon, that's despite a supposed truth between the two
[00:37:33] countries, but in one village residents are taking matters into their
[00:37:36] own hands, setting up a market to help local vendors and
[00:37:40] revive the spirit the community. Priyanka Navani reports
[00:37:44] in southern
[00:37:48] Lebanon, war, destruction and losses of monumental
[00:37:52] proportion have given people every reason to live in
[00:37:55] agony, but at this newly inaugural. Saturday market in the
[00:37:58] southern village of karsir, agony is opposite to the
[00:38:02] spirit
[00:38:03] in the air. Instead, people have come from near and far to enjoy
[00:38:06] fresh food and other local products. Today I
[00:38:10] came to support my hometown in my region, we want to contribute to the
[00:38:14] success of this beautiful market. Initiatives like these give us
[00:38:18] hope and optimism, especially given the current
[00:38:21] circumstances. The initiative, which brings together dozens of vendors from
[00:38:25] across the region, is only in its second. in week, but already
[00:38:29] authorities say it's having massive success. we make this
[00:38:32] market and we
[00:38:36] hear from people, it's very
[00:38:39] good idea and
[00:38:42] excellent markets for all the people and for
[00:38:46] first and for the area. markets used to be
[00:38:49] common in the south, but the war has made large swaths the area a
[00:38:53] nogo zone. they're also especially helpful because so many...
[00:38:57] traditional stores are still closed, the reason the market is
[00:39:01] here because the surrounding town is insecure so the
[00:39:05] people cannot go over there plus the expenses of
[00:39:09] gas prices and so on, so we felt this an opportunity for
[00:39:13] the tow and in the different town, the surrounding town to come and display
[00:39:16] their product, people save money and uh
[00:39:20] basically bring some happiness, you know, bring the
[00:39:23] life again to the town, 85-year old...
[00:39:27] Hussain who hails from a now Israeli occupied border
[00:39:30] village, says it's the first profit he's turned in
[00:39:34] months, thank god I used to live very
[00:39:37] comfortably, but now we've gone back to zero, completely
[00:39:41] zero, at my age, 85 years old, I'm exhausted, I have
[00:39:45] to go out, work and sell things like this, I'm sorry, but I have
[00:39:49] no choice, what else can I do, and most say it's
[00:39:52] not just about money, but perseverance, clearly something that
[00:39:56] in. is passed down through
[00:39:59] generations. I'm 14 years old. I saw
[00:40:03] carrots, faba bins, corn on the car. I'm a son of this
[00:40:06] village, because this is village that has been through lot. My father
[00:40:10] stayed here and I'm staying here too. The joy being experienced at
[00:40:14] this market doesn't negate the continued harsh realities of
[00:40:17] people here. Some 170 homes in
[00:40:21] Kafodicier have been bombed, and this village hosts
[00:40:25] some 100 families who have not yet. been able to return to their
[00:40:28] own villages, still people are
[00:40:31] resilient and are determined to continue building their
[00:40:35] lives back through initiatives just like this one. Priyanka

[00:40:49] A state of emergency was declared in parts of Pakistan on
[00:40:52] Sunday, as thousands continue to protest in support of
[00:40:56] jailed form Prime Minister Imran Khan demonstrators
[00:41:00] took to the streets in Kaiba Pactungua, northwestern province
[00:41:04] governed by Imran Khan's PTI party. The government's
[00:41:08] decision to impose a state of emergency brings the province
[00:41:11] under direct federal control. Prime Minister Shebbaz Shariff
[00:41:15] accused the local PTI government of failing to maintain law
[00:41:19] and order. Let's get an update now from Kamran Yusuf joining us from
[00:41:23] Islamabad. So Kamran from the demonstrations people. there
[00:41:27] are clearly angry about this move, just bring us up to speed with what's
[00:41:31] happening at the moment, well
[00:41:35] indeed
[00:41:35] of course Pakistan tariq insaf a party of former prime minister Imran
[00:41:39] Khan is currently in jail, they are angry, they have
[00:41:43] termed it a black day when the federal government imposed
[00:41:46] emergency and governor's rule, but on the
[00:41:50] ground, situation in Islamabad very much
[00:41:53] normal, you may see just behind a shipping containers
[00:41:57] blocking one the roads leading to the key government
[00:42:01] installations, but these containers have been placed for the last couple of
[00:42:05] weeks in anticipation of opposition's protest, but
[00:42:08] now we are getting... reports that authorities have decided to
[00:42:12] remove all these containers and other security measures,
[00:42:16] this means that authorities no longer
[00:42:19] anticipate or expect that protests may
[00:42:22] reach Islamabad. the reason is after the imposition
[00:42:26] of emergency and governor's rule, authorities have
[00:42:30] detained hundreds of PTI activists leaders
[00:42:34] including now the suspended chief minister the
[00:42:38] province who according to the P is under protective
[00:42:41] custody in Pishawar, the provincial capital, there
[00:42:45] are reports that there is less than usual traffic,
[00:42:49] schools, both the government and the private are currently
[00:42:53] shut, and this morning the newly appointed
[00:42:56] council led by the governor presided over a meeting
[00:43:00] to decide how to move forward, so a political
[00:43:04] temperature may be high, but as far as the situation on the ground
[00:43:08] in the capital is concerned that is pretty much normal, when it comes to
[00:43:12] that political temperature, the federal government has now effectively taken
[00:43:16] over that province, what difference are they hoping it's
[00:43:19] going to make, and if you can just remind our viewers why they
[00:43:23] think they now need to take over to improve conditions
[00:43:26] there, well think it is worth
[00:43:30] noting that khibar pakhtun province bordering
[00:43:34] afghanistan is facing serious security
[00:43:37] challenge, there has been surge in the number of terrorist attacks
[00:43:41] in that province and according to the
[00:43:45] federal government, the provincial government led by the
[00:43:48] opposition Pakistan Tahike Insaf was not cooperating with the
[00:43:52] federal government in terms of dealing with the threat, the
[00:43:56] PTI had a position that they believe that since
[00:44:00] the province has undergone serious security challenges over
[00:44:04] the past many years, so they do not support large scale
[00:44:07] counter terrorism operation and they... not agree with the
[00:44:11] central's policy how to deal with the problem
[00:44:13] and that according to the center is major hurdle and that is
[00:44:17] why they felt that it was important that the federal government
[00:44:20] directly now control the provincial matters, but there is a political
[00:44:24] context too, it is also seen in the context the long
[00:44:28] running confrontation between the fatal government as well as with the party
[00:44:32] of former prime minister Imran Khan because they were planning to
[00:44:36] march towards the capital Islamabad to seek the release their
[00:44:40] leader, so some political experts believe that this move by the federal
[00:44:44] government was also aimed at to scuttle that move by the
[00:44:47] PTI. let's see how that all plays out. thanks for bringing
