00:00:00attacks, as well as the political conflict escalating over the demand for Imran Khan's release in Pakistan.
00:00:03We will discuss these important topics in detail with a special guest.
00:00:07So let's start and first take a look at the headlines.

00:00:12After the deadly Houthi attacks
00:00:15on Saudi Arabia, Iran became active, offering to resolve the dispute through dialogue
00:00:19between both sides. It said that Israel would benefit from the
00:00:22expansion of the conflict. Flights at Riyadh airport were suspended
00:00:26after the Houthi attack. The final battle for control of
00:00:33Yemen's Taiz city. The tight siege of the city by the Houthis
00:00:36has deepened the humanitarian crisis. Medical equipment and fuel are
00:00:40on the verge of running out. The ground forces claimed to have killed about
00:00:4460 fighters.
00:00:46Ukrainian President Zelenskyy claimed
00:00:50that Russia bombed energy targets immediately after Trump's announcement
00:00:54of an energy ceasefire. Trump claimed both sides
00:00:57had agreed. The Kremlin has not yet
00:01:01confirmed this.
00:01:03North Korea's missiles
00:01:07have once again raised concerns about regional security. At least
00:01:11two ballistic missiles were fired into the sea from the east coast.
00:01:14One traveled more than 900 kilometers. South Korea
00:01:18and Japan strongly protested.

00:01:25Emergency declared in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. PTI leaders
00:01:28continue to be arrested. Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and
00:01:31many other senior leaders arrested. Army called in
00:01:35to help the administration. PTI said it would not
00:01:38back down.
00:01:54And now, let's begin. Amid tensions in West Asia, attacks on Saudi Arabia
00:01:58have increased security concerns.
00:02:00Flights at Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport have also been affected
00:02:04after the attacks and loss of life. Continuous attacks are raising questions
00:02:08about Saudi Arabia's security system, and tensions are deepening
00:02:12throughout the region. What are the conditions, and what form is
00:02:15this great war taking? Let's
00:02:16find out.
00:02:26Missiles create panic in the skies of Saudi Arabia. A rain of gunpowder
00:02:30in Yemen, and a crisis in oil supplies in the sea.
00:02:34The Houthis have surrounded Saudi Arabia on fronts where even
00:02:37one mistake can be costly. Saudi Arabia is seeking help
00:02:41from its allies through the Makkah Agreement with America, but
00:02:44so far, there has been no assurance, and the rain of Houthi missiles
00:02:47is increasing. Earlier, on October 10, the Houthis attacked Riyadh's King
00:02:51Khalid Airport, killing 12 people
00:02:54and injuring 309. One Indian citizen was also
00:02:57among the dead. The next day, the same airport
00:03:01was again targeted by the Houthis,
00:03:04Sindh and the area of and one person died, while 11 were injured. In these
00:03:07two attacks, a total of
00:03:10borders Afghanistan and Iran, 13 people were killed and 320 people were injured. Currently, airport operations have
00:03:14been suspended, and security arrangements have been tightened. Besides Riyadh,
00:03:17news of attacks on other targets and airports in Saudi Arabia
00:03:21has also emerged. The Houthis have issued a warning of new
00:03:25attacks in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump
00:03:29called the attack very serious. He said that America
00:03:32is assessing whether it should participate in Saudi Arabia's military
00:03:36action against the Houthis or
00:03:39will also increase, and terrorist not. This means there is a possibility of American intervention,
00:03:43Woodford have been announced but the final decision to directly join the war has not been announced.
00:03:45Saudi Arabia is responding to the Houthi attacks with
00:03:48airstrikes in Yemen. The Saudi-backed coalition has targeted Houthi strongholds.
00:03:52According to the Yemeni government army, attacks were carried out in
00:03:56Al Arsum, Al Maraj positions in Taiz province, around
00:03:5960th Street, and several mountain positions. The battle
00:04:02for control of Taiz city
00:04:06let me tell you. And since has become very important. The Houthis are trying to get closer
00:04:08to the city. The heights of Mount Sabir are strategically important
00:04:12because a large part of Taiz city can be monitored from here.
00:04:16If the Houthis strengthen their hold on these heights and surrounding
00:04:19areas,
00:04:22activities in the province. The it could put significant pressure on the security of Taiz city. This would be a serious challenge
00:04:26for the internationally recognized Yemeni government. But the other
00:04:30front of the Yemeni war has also opened near the Bab
00:04:33al-Mandeb Strait. This sea route connects the Red Sea
00:04:37a half years. However, PTI to the Gulf of Aden and is very important for global trade.
00:04:40The Houthis are claiming advances in the areas of Bab
00:04:43al-Mandeb, although the Yemeni
00:04:46path, schools are necessary. government is also claiming to have recaptured several areas in this region. Iran also appears to
00:04:50be becoming active. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi spoke to
00:04:54his Saudi counterpart and offered to help de-escalate tensions
00:04:57between the Saudi coalition and the Houthis. However, there's a catch
00:05:01here. The Houthis are close allies of Iran. But the biggest
00:05:04question is whether Iran can really persuade the Houthis to
00:05:08stop their attacks. And let's discuss this with Dr.
00:05:17Rajan Kumar, who is joining us from the School of International
00:05:21Studies, JNU. Welcome, Dr. Rajan, and my first question is, what
00:05:24is the current situation as you see it, because with the
00:05:28continuous attacks by the Houthis on Saudi Arabia, what will be
00:05:32Saudi Arabia's next move, and for how long will West Asia
00:05:36have to face this? Does this seem like the precursor to
00:05:40a major war? Yes, Gaurav, thank you for inviting
00:05:43me. It is very important that the current situation there
00:05:46seems likely to escalate a lot, because from neither side,
00:05:49at least for the next one or two months, does it seem
00:05:53that there will be any possibility of a ceasefire. In fact,
00:05:57you have seen that the attacks are happening at such a level
00:06:01that now the Riyadh airport is being directly attacked. You saw
00:06:05that one Indian also lost his life, as shown in your program.
00:06:09300 people were injured, many of whom are critical. 12 to
00:06:1213 people have died. And despite the fact that Saudi Arabia's
00:06:16protection includes many American missile systems, etc., providing
00:06:20protection, and there is an American military presence there,
00:06:24even then, civilian targets like the airport are being attacked.
00:06:27So this means that the situation is quite delicate, and assume
00:06:31that Iran will not tell the Houthis to stop the
00:06:35war completely, because right now, among the proxies that Iran
00:06:38has, the Houthis are the most important, and the Houthis can
00:06:42influence Bab al-Mandeb, and Iran is doing it at Hormuz.
00:06:46So, through this pressure, Iran can also put pressure
00:06:49on America. That's why I think the current war is likely
00:06:53to escalate, and you know that through the Makkah Agreement,
00:06:56Saudi Arabia's allied countries, Pakistan and Turkey, now
00:07:00Pakistan's army is also getting involved. So, in such a situation,
00:07:04speculations are being made that this war is likely to
00:07:08escalate significantly, and there is no immediate solution to this.
00:07:12In such a situation, Dr. Rajan, another question arises: the Makkah
00:07:15Pact was strongly emphasized, so where do you think that
00:07:19voice is now? Has it been drowned out amidst all this noise?
00:07:23No, the Makkah Pact, you know, is a formal agreement.
00:07:26Pakistan has also accepted that it is sending its army
00:07:30there, and in every way, it has stated that it is
00:07:34a defense army, meaning they will not attack in Yemen, but
00:07:37if Saudi Arabia is attacked, then Turkey and Pakistan will
00:07:41both protect it. And according to reports there,
00:07:44the Pakistani army is also providing protection. Now, the problem is
00:07:48that Pakistan was initially talking about mediation there, and now
00:07:52it is indirectly participating in that war.
00:07:55So, in such a situation, it is very difficult to say
00:07:59what kind of situation will emerge there. America is also
00:08:03trying to put pressure on Yemen, but the Houthis are such
00:08:07forces that if anyone has control, it is Iran.
00:08:10Besides that, no other power can put pressure on the
00:08:14Houthis, and as you showed in your program, their
00:08:18influence is increasing in areas like Taiz, and their influence
00:08:21is also increasing in Bab al-Mandeb. If it is completely
00:08:25stopped, then your shipments that used to go through
00:08:29the Suez Canal will be completely blocked there. This
00:08:32will likely lead to a significant increase in oil prices. So
00:08:35these are all speculations, and there is a strong possibility that
00:08:39until a ceasefire-like condition is established between the Houthis
00:08:43and Saudi Arabia, I think the difficulties will
00:08:47increase in that entire region. So what do you think
00:08:50the future holds? Because we are constantly seeing attacks,
00:08:54and besides that, the unrest in other Arab countries is
00:08:58also intensifying. So the West Asia war started somewhere
00:09:02and is going somewhere else, and in such a situation, the
00:09:06whole world is clearly affected. So what do you think
00:09:09the future holds? This crisis will deepen even more. Look,
00:09:13the crisis there is a battle for regional dominance,
00:09:18Saudi Arabia faces an existential threat, meaning that the existence
00:09:21of the entire nation is threatened, because if they cannot stop
00:09:25the Houthi aggression, their difficulties will increase significantly, and
00:09:29the entire regional balance, especially America's influence, which you
00:09:32still see through these small Saudi Arabias, through Jordan,
00:09:36Egypt, etc., through Qatar, if America does not intervene
00:09:40there, then Iran's influence will increase significantly, and neither
00:09:44Turkey nor Pakistan nor Israel wants that. So
00:09:47in such a situation, its possibility is increasing significantly,
00:09:51because the Houthis are attacking civilian airports directly. You
00:09:55saw that in the Russia-Ukraine war, there was no direct targeting
00:09:59of airports, but in this war, what is happening is
00:10:03that in the first stage itself, civilian targets are being hit,
00:10:07and the Houthis' influence is increasing, and American forces
00:10:10are not ready to send troops there. So, in such
00:10:14a situation, I think it is quite delicate, and if
00:10:18there is no ceasefire, there is a high possibility of it
00:10:22escalating and Iran's influence also increasing significantly. So,
00:10:25will we see in the coming days that the Houthis will continue
00:10:29to get out of control and these attacks will further
00:10:32intensify? Because, look, the medium through which Iran
00:10:36is now trying to put pressure on America, Israel,
00:10:40or the entire region, Iran has three kinds of weapons.
00:10:44One is their ongoing nuclear inducement program, etc. And
00:10:48second is that they have controlled Hormuz, so they have
00:10:51become quite capable of stopping any trade from Hormuz. Some
00:10:55ships are able to pass, but most ships are not.
00:10:59So through Hormuz, they have completely controlled the international
00:11:03energy crisis. And third, among their proxies,
00:11:06Hamas has become quite weak. Hezbollah is also not
00:11:10strong in that way. So in such a situation, they
00:11:14have the Houthis as a means through which they can
00:11:17stop all the shipments in that region that go from
00:11:21Bab al-Mandeb to the Suez Canal, and they can also
00:11:47why it is becoming so serious, why the battle for its occupation is escalating so much, and what is so special about it, or why is it being given
00:11:50so much importance? Look, it is a very
00:11:54important region, and they believe that if
00:11:58the Yemeni forces, that is, the former Yemeni forces
00:12:01supported by Saudi Arabia, and their control, you know,
00:12:05has been removed from there, then they believe that if
00:12:09they gain control over it, they can stop the Yemenis
00:12:12from advancing, keep an eye on them, and also gain
00:12:16control over the Bab al-Mandeb area. So, Taiz is
00:12:20seen as a very strategic point, and in this
00:12:24war, you have seen
00:12:55that for now, it's time for a short break. When we
00:12:59return after the break, we will bring you the next news. So
00:13:02stay with us. We are taking

00:13:40Welcome back after the break. In Pakistan, the demand for
00:13:44Imran Khan's release has further escalated the political conflict.
00:13:48The decision to impose an emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa amidst
00:13:51PTI's movement has further deepened the crisis. The central
00:13:55government is calling it a step to combat terrorism, while
00:13:59PTI is calling it an attack on its power. What is
00:14:02happening there? Let's find
00:14:08out. When Imran Khan's party, PTI, came out to get its
00:14:12leader released from jail, political chaos erupted
00:14:16in Pakistan. Frightened by the crowd of protesters,
00:14:19Army Chief Asim Munir deployed the army on the streets.
00:14:23But when Munir's tactics also failed, the government
00:14:27imposed an emergency in the only province it controls, Khyber
00:14:30Pakhtunkhwa, giving more powers to the army and launching
00:14:34a new move to curb Imran's supporters. The Shahbaz
00:14:37government's argument behind imposing the emergency is that the
00:14:41PTI government has completely failed to control terrorist
00:14:47central government alleges that the provincial government is not cooperating
00:14:51with the federal government. The federal government claims a 196%
00:14:54increase in incidents of terrorism and extremism in the province
00:14:58in the last two and
00:15:02refutes these allegations. The party claims that adequate funds
00:15:05and resources were not provided to the province to fight
00:15:09terrorism. PTI has called this an attempt to put pressure
00:15:13on its leaders and said that such actions will not
00:15:17stop its struggle. The powers of the provincial government have
00:15:20been abolished, and the administration has been handed over to the
00:15:25governor. The army has been called into the province, and
00:15:28former leaders are being detained en masse. Even the former
00:15:32chief minister of the province, Ali Amin Gandapur, has
00:15:36been placed under house arrest. It is claimed that the
00:15:39PTI government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was challenging the influence
00:15:43of Army Chief Asim Munir. Due to this, there are
00:15:47reports of increasing tension between the provincial government and the
00:15:50military leadership. According to sources, a major reason for
00:15:54the dispute is also the control over mines and mineral
00:15:58resources in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It is being said that
00:16:01the Pakistan Army wants more powers in matters related to
00:16:05mineral resources in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Sohail
00:16:09Afridi and the PTI government were reportedly opposing the
00:16:13army's direct interference in matters related to mines and
00:16:16minerals. Sources say that after the imposition of emergency
00:16:20and governor's rule, the army's influence in the province's affairs
00:16:24may increase. Under Article 232 of Pakistan's constitution,
00:16:28an emergency can be imposed in situations of war,
00:16:32attacks by other countries, or deteriorated conditions within the
00:16:35country, which the provincial government is unable to handle.
00:16:39However, the decision to impose an emergency needs parliamentary
00:16:43approval. Meanwhile, PTI started a march on October 4
00:16:47to secure the release of its jailed leader, Imran Khan.
00:16:50Imran's supporters are trying to advance towards Islamabad,
00:16:54but the government has converted
00:16:55the entire city into a
00:17:00container fortress to stop them. But by imposing an
00:17:04emergency in KP, the government has tried to push Imran's
00:17:08issue back. Now, it remains to be seen whether Parliament
00:17:11approves this decision, whether it is challenged in court,
00:17:15and in which direction PTI's movement progresses. And
00:17:19let's discuss this with Dr. Rajan Kumar, who is constantly
00:17:22joining us. Dr. Rajan, Imran Khan started from there
00:17:25to get out of jail. The protests escalated in demand
00:17:28for his release, which we have seen continuously in recent
00:17:32days. And now, the crisis in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is continuously
00:17:35increasing. So, in such a situation,
00:17:38what do you think will make it more difficult for whom
00:17:42in the coming future, Sharif or Imran Khan?
00:17:45Look, this somehow shows how much
00:17:49internal politics of Pakistan is in crisis. There was
00:17:53only one province, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where Imran Khan's government
00:17:56was in power, and Afridi Sahib was its governor. But
00:18:00even there, they could not tolerate it. You have already
00:18:04put Imran Khan in jail, but despite this, they were
00:18:07afraid that their current Chief Minister, who has now been
00:18:11dismissed, was leading the protests there, and they had
00:18:15given a call for a protest, which was to protest towards
00:18:18Islamabad. Its date was October 4th or later. So,
00:18:22after that, the date was extended, so the Pakistan
00:18:26government was quite scared of that possibility, and they felt
00:18:29that if such a protest happened, there would be a
00:18:33lot of violence. And second, the other charge against them
00:18:36is that they said that the action that the federal
00:18:40government wanted them to take against the other terrorist organizations
00:18:43there, they were not taking that kind of action there.
00:18:47So, because of this, they dismissed their government
00:18:51there through their article 232, which is illegal. There was
00:18:54only a two-year government there. It was the only province
00:18:58where Imran Khan's government was in power. Even though
00:19:02there was a majority in other places, they were not
00:19:05allowing Imran Khan to come there. So, in such a
00:19:09situation, there is complete governor's rule there for six
00:19:13months, although they have taken it, they can extend it
00:19:16further. So, there is an attempt to bring military
00:19:20control and federal control there, and in a way,
00:19:24Imran Khan's supporters have also been arrested.
00:19:27It is also being said that Afridi, who was dismissed
00:19:31as Chief Minister, has also been detained, and you said
00:19:34that his former Chief Minister has also been taken into
00:19:38custody. So, in such a situation, there is a possibility
00:19:42that the protests will intensify significantly, and this
00:19:45is not just about Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Pakistan, as you know,
00:19:49is experiencing daily attacks in Balochistan on the government,
00:19:53and on the army. So they are in a bad state
00:19:56there. Of their four provinces, Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan,
00:20:00and KP, that is Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the situation in
00:20:03two provinces is very delicate and very bad,
00:20:07and the government there also has a problem because the
00:20:11area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan borders Afghanistan.
00:20:15So they also wanted that Imran Khan's regime
00:20:18there, the PTI government, should make an agreement
00:20:22with the Afghan forces, the Taliban in Afghanistan, for
00:20:25which the Sharif government was absolutely not ready,
00:20:28and these were all issues because of which they were
00:20:32dismissed. But the reason is political, because they did
00:20:36not want any protest from Imran Khan's side
00:20:40there, any encirclement or anything that was happening
00:20:43in Islamabad. This has happened before, let me tell you,
00:20:46and it was stopped. And now, in a way,
00:20:50there is an attempt to completely remove the PTI there,
00:20:53to completely destroy their regime there, their control,
00:20:57their support system. This is what is happening there,
00:21:00and you can see that in the dismissal of the
00:21:04government, because it is completely illegal. In their
00:21:07law, there is also a question that arises: how
00:21:11much pressure is there on the government during these protests?
00:21:15And as we are seeing these protests intensifying,
00:21:19do you think the Pakistani
00:21:22of pressure? Yes, it is under a lot of pressure,
00:21:26no doubt about it. From both sides, because of the
00:21:30protests of the other Balochi forces in Balochistan, and
00:21:34because of the way the military is being attacked.
00:21:37And if you dismiss a democratically elected government
00:21:41without any valid reason, what reason was given there?
00:21:44The reason given is that the attacks have increased there,
00:21:48whereas the figures from Dawn and other newspapers
00:21:52there are reporting that the criminal activity in Khyber
00:21:56Pakhtunkhwa has decreased by 16%. So the logic
00:22:00being given is completely wrong, and it cannot be
00:22:03supported by data at all. So, in a way, it
00:22:07is an attempt to establish political control. Asif Munir
00:22:10wants to bring all the provinces under his complete
00:22:14control. This is the attempt. And in such a
00:22:18situation, you can expect that protests will increase
00:22:22significantly there, and the terrorist attacks by Afghan-supported
00:22:26or other terrorist organizations will also increase. Because
00:22:29if you dismiss a democratically representative government there
00:22:33without any valid reason, people will protest, won't
00:22:37they? There is no other option left. In such
00:22:41a situation, is the government's focus only on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
00:22:44or is it also focusing on such situations throughout Pakistan?
00:22:48Because when you have a government with you, there is
00:22:51a kind of legal protection for protesters, and since
00:22:55there are fundings in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, there are sources
00:22:59of funding if you have a government, and you mentioned
00:23:02in your program how that area is very rich in minerals,
00:23:06etc. So, in such a situation, if there is an
00:23:10attempt to remove the government, it is a way to weaken
00:23:13their organizational structure when you arrest all the important
00:23:17leaders, their financial sources for protests, etc. So, this
00:23:21is an attempt to cut off those financial sources so
00:23:25that you can completely control them. But let me tell
00:23:29you, they will not be able to control it, because
00:23:32of the way all the protests you saw a few
00:23:36days ago in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, in the Gilgit-Baltistan
00:23:40area, you saw how many killings happened in those
00:23:43protests, 40 to 50 people died. You saw
00:23:47how the situation is in Balochistan. So, their entire
00:23:51area, one part of it is
00:23:54Sindh, the area of Punjab, but the other area that
00:24:00that entire area of Pakistan is also disturbed, and Pakistan's
00:24:04economy, as you know,
00:24:10is in a very bad state. So, in such a
00:24:14situation, Pakistan's situation is very delicate, difficulties are
00:24:18increasing, and the attempt
00:24:20is to completely destroy Imran Khan's party, to completely
00:24:24destroy it. This attempt is happening there, so protests
00:24:29attacks, etc., will also increase. This is what you can
00:24:33expect. Okay, it remains to be seen in the
00:24:37coming time how violent these protests become and what action
00:24:39the government there, that is,
00:24:41the Sharif government, takes. Thank you very much, Dr.
00:24:45Rajan, for joining us and for this detailed discussion
00:24:49with us. So, for now, that's all in World News,
00:24:52but as we leave, we leave you with some other
00:24:56international news. So, watch these news stories. Give the entire team permission.

00:27:35MP Anurag Thakur held a press conference and launched a scathing
00:27:39attack on Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi. Anurag Thakur said that Rahul
00:27:42Gandhi is the Leader of Opposition in name only, but he is a leader
00:27:46who knows neither rules and regulations nor facts. He said that Rahul
00:27:50Gandhi, who talks about vote theft, is actually brazenly going against
00:27:53the mandate. The BJP accused Rahul Gandhi of trying to intimidate
00:27:57the country's judiciary. The
00:27:59Chief Justice
00:28:04of the Supreme Court, Suryakant, has refused to meet with Congress
00:28:07President Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha,
00:28:11Rahul Gandhi. The Chief Justice wrote to both leaders and also
00:28:15clarified the reason for not being able to meet. He said that the issues
00:28:19on which the opposition leaders want to meet him are already pending
00:28:22before the Supreme Court. In such a situation, meeting to discuss pending
00:28:26matters would not be in accordance with established ethical standards
00:28:29and judicial propriety.

00:29:49The research of both economists has made a significant contribution
00:29:52to improving policies for dealing with economic crises and controlling
00:29:56inflation. In fact, their research led to the development of New
00:30:00Keynesian models. These models help to understand what impact
00:30:03the decisions of the government and central bank have on the country's
00:30:06economy.

00:30:16Zero is undergoing a period of change. Every village that used
00:30:19to be a Naxalite area of Bengal is now Naxal-free.
00:30:23A large number of people have surrendered.
00:30:27This is a new picture.
00:30:29Where there
00:30:32was once an atmosphere of fear, and the sound of bombs
00:30:35and guns echoed.
00:30:37Those
00:30:40who once held guns are now holding tools
00:30:43and are becoming skilled. For the future to go on the right
00:30:49The empire of red terror has now become a bygone
00:30:53history. Now, national anthems are sung
00:30:57in schools.
