00:00:02in American soil, saying US leaders conjure up an imaginary enemy to
00:00:05frighten their own people.
00:00:09Despite earlier denials, the Pentagon admits that the number of troops
00:00:13killed in the aggression against Iran is higher than previously
00:00:17reported with nearly 900
00:00:19injuries. And finally, new poll shows
00:00:23the French
00:00:23in president's popularity has fallen to the lowest level since
00:00:26of 2017, amid violent protests and cost. living
00:00:30concerns.
00:00:45Hello and welcome everyone. You're watching Press TV world news. Let's go ahead and get started
00:00:49with the stories that matter. Well,
00:00:53Euron's a foreign ministry spokesman has slammed
00:00:55the US president's latest claims about a possible Iranian attack on
00:00:59the... american soil, saying the real enemy
00:01:01of the American people is their own administration. Ismile
00:01:05basts after Donald Trump said just a post after Donald Trump
00:01:09said just could take out the cities of Los, could take out the
00:01:13cities of Los Angeles and San Diego.
00:01:16of Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said to frighten their own people, US leaders
00:01:20conjure up an imaginary enemy in the
00:01:23of sky to overshadow the real threats on the ground. He added that the
00:01:27real danger to American people lies
00:01:29in a rule. establishment that has imposed an illegal war
00:01:33on the world with global consequences. He noted that Trump has
00:01:36even described the destruction of Los Angeles and San
00:01:40Diego, as quotes a very small price to pay.
00:01:43Bai said this is textbook example
00:01:46of the politics of fear, frightening people with an imaginary threat,
00:01:50portraying the destruction
00:01:52of their own cities as acceptable price to pay and diverting
00:01:56their attention from the real danger.
00:02:01Despite earlier denials, a US War department has admitted that the
00:02:05number of troops who have died in the aggression against Iran
00:02:09is higher than previously reported. According to the Washington
00:02:13Post, the Pentagon in its latest reports has raised the
00:02:16official death tool of US troops linked to military aggression against
00:02:20Iran to 21, acknowledging that two additional deaths
00:02:24had not been previously included in its figures. The newly
00:02:28included deaths are in army. major who died in Kuwait on March the
00:02:326th, and an unidentified navy service member who died by
00:02:36suicide in
00:02:36of September. The
00:02:38of updated figures
00:02:39of also showed that 865 US service members
00:02:42have been also wounded during the aggression against Iran.
00:02:46Separately, the U.S. military confirmed the death of another soldier in
00:02:50Iraq claiming that he lost his life
00:02:53in a training
00:02:54a accident unrelated to the aggression against Iran. The update
00:02:58of came after the Washington Post report. last month that the number of
00:03:01casualties from the war was greater than what the Pentagon has
00:03:05disclosed publicly. At
00:03:07of the time, US War Secretary Pete Hagsath called that report a
00:03:10complete
00:03:11lie.
00:03:15Author and journalist Robert Fantina says, although Trump portrays the
00:03:18aggression against Iran as necessary and downplays
00:03:22of its human and financial cost, the American public sees it as an
00:03:26unnecessary war of choice that has been very costly.
00:03:33now the
00:03:35in recent up to 21 up to
00:03:3821, one might say is only two soldiers,
00:03:42of however of for those two soldiers and that's extremely
00:03:46significant, and the fact that the
00:03:49units government was willing to ignore them or avoid their
00:03:52of reality, a certainly insulted and degraded to not only those
00:03:55victims in their lungers, but all the military who are being forced
00:03:59to.
00:04:01this uh awful situation, so Donald Trump
00:04:04wants the
00:04:06of U.S. populist to look at this as
00:04:08in something unimportant, not costly
00:04:10of in terms of lives or money, and just just
00:04:14necessary military
00:04:15of adventure, it is none of those things, it has
00:04:17of been extremely costly in terms of lives and money, and it
00:04:21of is a completely unnecessary and
00:04:24illegal and immoral aggression against Iran, there does seem to be
00:04:28something a little. unusual about that, if nearly
00:04:32900 were injured and only 21
00:04:35of died and get enough were lost, but we were
00:04:38lost, but it does seem to be rather strange
00:04:41proportion. now the soldier who died in
00:04:45Kuwait apparently was killed when
00:04:49the Iranian forces attacked US
00:04:52bases in in Kuwait, so the fact that only
00:04:56one person died in that, we can see it as...
00:05:00But is it
00:05:01of true? Meanwhile, Iran has taken European
00:05:05countries to task for their inaction in the face of US sanctions
00:05:09on the international criminal courts and Washington. threat to dismantle the
00:05:13court, a social media post, heron's foreign ministry spokesman
00:05:17said, while US secretary of state Markio the
00:05:20brick by brick, it's brick by brick, its
00:05:23allies failed to rain it in, orders collapsed not only
00:05:27through additional orders collapse not only through
00:05:30this becomes normalized and the world becomes normalized and the world
00:05:33remains silent. he then asked European countries does standing
00:05:37alongside ally, ally mean defending
00:05:41international law and order, or does it mean joining that ally and
00:05:44dismantling them? the spokesman added that if law and justice are
00:05:48sacrificed to appease an aggressive and bullying allie
00:05:51ally, then talk of human rights and
00:05:54rules-based international order will be nothing more than empty
00:05:58rhetoric. the ICC says US sanctions constitute
00:06:01attempt to obstruct justice and prevent the tribunal from
00:06:05fulfilling its mandate. the UN has also called US
00:06:09sanctions on the ICC serious float to the world's collective
00:06:13punish pursuit of international
00:06:15justice.
00:06:19For his part, investigative journalist Rick Sterling says, while the US
00:06:23once manipulated international organizations to serve its
00:06:26interests, it is now increasingly defying international law and
00:06:30acting like a
00:06:31gangster.
00:06:35In the past, the US was able to manipulate international
00:06:38organizations to do its bidding.
00:06:43uh, but increasingly it's it's defying international
00:06:46law openly. I think it's clear to all people that
00:06:50uh, the United States is increasingly acting like a
00:06:53gangster. If you do its bidding, it will reward you,
00:06:57if you defy it or you show some
00:07:01resistance, then it will punish you,
00:07:04and we see an example of another country that has been doing this for
00:07:08decades and that of course is is Israel.
00:07:12"and with the genocide in Gaza, with the rampant attacks on
00:07:16Palest Palestinians in the West Bank, the war on
00:07:19Iran, including the murder of thousands of innocents.
00:07:23It seems like we're returning to an era in the past that was the
00:07:27Vietnam war, where the United States was hated around
00:07:31the world, and it's um, it's really a sign
00:07:34of how pathetic the European elites that
00:07:38they are not willing to to stand up and to '
00:07:42uh to indicate Mr. Prime Minister
00:07:46Mr. Prime Minister Mot more courage than any the
00:07:50more courage than any the European leaders and
00:07:54talking about how how bad this is and and how there
00:07:57needs to be a reevaluation of where we're at at the
00:08:01United
00:08:02Nations.
00:08:06Another news, French president Emmanuel Macron's popularity has
00:08:09fallen to its lowest level since taking office in... 2017,
00:08:13this according to new poll which was published on Saturday. The survey
00:08:17found that just 15% of respondents approved Macron's
00:08:21performance as president down one point from a month
00:08:25earlier and the lowest score of his presidency. Most respondents
00:08:28have cited purchasing power as their top concern,
00:08:32followed by worries about the future the country's welfare system and
00:08:36France's debt levels. The poll results came as France
00:08:40faces record fuel prices and massive protest by high
00:08:43school students. For many days now, protesters, including many
00:08:47students, have been rallying outside schools, chanting
00:08:50anti-government slogans. The government says thousands, mostly
00:08:54minors, have been arrested since the unrest began. The poll also
00:08:58revealed that among politicians seen as political successors to
00:09:02Macron, far right leaders, Jordan Bardela and Marine
00:09:06Lepen are the most
00:09:07popular.
00:09:12and prisoners rights groups have called on the Israeli regime to repeal the law
00:09:16that imposes the death penalty on Palestinian prisoners. The
00:09:20call came a statement issued on the occasion the world day against the
00:09:24death penalty. The rights group said the death penalty within
00:09:27Israel's legal system is no longer merely matter of legislative
00:09:31provisions, but has become part the regime's daily
00:09:35practices against Palestinian prisoners. They added that
00:09:38Palestinian prisoners have endured the most brutal forms of systematic.
00:09:42killing and elimination in Israeli prisons and detention
00:09:46facility since the beginning the Gaza genocide. They said Israeli
00:09:50jails have turned into major sites for physical and psychological
00:09:53torture of Palestinian prisoners through slow killing
00:09:57policies, torture, systematic starvation and denial
00:10:01of medical treatment and healthcare. The group said these conditions have led
00:10:05to the deaths of at least 92 identified Palestinian
00:10:08prisoners since October 2023, which they described as a
00:10:12deadliest period in the history the Palestinian
00:10:15prisoners.
00:10:19Moving on now to the people in Crocus which have
00:10:23rallied in the Venezuelan. capital and solidarity with the Palestinian
00:10:27people, and to condemn the years of genocide in Gaza.
00:10:31Demonstrators say Palestine has become a symbol of resistance and
00:10:35human dignity, linking the Palestinian struggle against occupation and
00:10:39colonialism to the historical experiences of Latin American
00:10:43peoples.
00:10:47Well, defending Palestine is a way, what people today refer to as the
00:10:51cause of humanity, understanding that colonialist actions and act of.
00:10:55occupation are issues that are just as relevant to us as Latin American
00:10:58peoples, so it's a connection that we can boil down to that in the most
00:11:02straightforward terms, to defending the cause of humanity,
00:11:05basically
00:11:11resistencia, palestine is a symbol of resistance, palestine is a symbol of human
00:11:15dignity, palestine calls upon and unites critical voices,
00:11:18voices of solidarity and the compassion of peoples and here we are from
00:11:22Venezuela, the Venezuelan movement from solidarity with Palestine and
00:11:26other social organizations, making this exhibition possible, call
00:11:30for solidarity to denounce the genocide, to denounce and demand an end to
00:11:34the genocide that over the past three years, well has
00:11:38claimed the lives of 75,000 people, most them
00:11:41minors, children, mothers, pregnant women and
00:11:45infants, and unfortunately we cannot accept this,
00:11:49lamentablemente no lo podemos aceptar, porque se han cumplido
00:11:52recientemente third
00:11:53el 7 de octubre, anniversary of
00:11:57a genocide intensified by the Israeli regime, but we must
00:12:01remember that there have been more than
00:12:03marked the 79 years of apartate occupation and perpetual, flagrant
00:12:07colonialism by the occupying regime, which constantly
00:12:11oppresses the palestinian people. what we have witnessed over the past three
00:12:14years has been an intensification of what Palestinians have actually endured
00:12:18for more than seven decades, so it is a collective
00:12:21responsibility, a global, international responsibility.
00:12:55city in three years of genocide in Gaza. The horrific devastation
00:12:59waged by Israel would not be possible without the weapons
00:13:02and support the United States. Ramond Mes has more from
00:13:06Washington
00:13:06DC.
00:13:11Supporters of Palestine across the United States joined the International
00:13:15Global Day of Action on October 10th to finally stop
00:13:19the U.S. Israeli genocide in Gaza. The global
00:13:23outrage took place on the day of last year's so-called
00:13:27cease fire. Israel has attacked Gaza on almost
00:13:31330 out the past 365
00:13:34days, killing almost 1,500
00:13:37gazons. For three years, no country other than
00:13:41Israel has been more complicit in the horrors than Washington, where
00:13:45a bipartisan effort has given Israel the military,
00:13:48political and economic support required to murder at
00:13:52least 3% of Gaza's entire. population with
00:13:56the actual figure likely much higher, the generation in
00:14:00america that was raised with the idea that we won the ideological
00:14:03war, and we are the good guys that abide by the human
00:14:06rights, have seen definitively that that is
00:14:10false, the um, our leaders, whether they are democrat
00:14:14or republican do not value human rights or human life, i
00:14:18think it doesn't matter where is democrat or republicans, it's unacceptable to
00:14:21fund this, this is absolutely horrid,
00:14:25and we're watching it live streamed on TikTok, Instagram and through our phones,
00:14:29it's in what many believe is a prelude to
00:14:33attempt at Israeli occupation, 82% of
00:14:37Gaza's buildings have been destroyed, displacing 90%
00:14:40the population, most the water and sanitation network has been
00:14:44demolished, along with 90% of schools and
00:14:48300 journalists have been killed in the last three years,
00:14:52but unlike past Israeli war crimes, "this one couldn't
00:14:56be covered up, the social media is on our side now,
00:15:00before it wasn't, um, the probaganda is less
00:15:04now, people are more aware, we definitely won media
00:15:07war, people are more aware of what's going on in Palestine, before a
00:15:11lot of people didn't know what's going on, what's actually going on in
00:15:14Palestine. In an enormous political shift, polls now show
00:15:18that Americans sympathize more with Palestinians than with
00:15:22Israelis, as the first ever live stream. genocide has
00:15:26finally revealed to the entire world what the zionist imperialist
00:15:30project has always
00:15:31been. Washington
00:15:34DC. Capital saw the largest
00:15:38demonstration for Palestine since last year on the global day of
00:15:42action with tens of thousands marching through Berlin on
00:15:45Saturday. Organized by the Coalition United for Palestine, the
00:15:49demonstration was marked by zinus provocations, heavy police
00:15:53presence and even several arrests. Our correspondenis
00:15:57reports from
00:15:58Berlin.
00:16:02No peace on stolen land was the slogan of this demonstration, marking
00:16:06the server.
00:16:37years have passed and the genocide continues. The Israeli killing
00:16:41machine backed by the USA and in particular Germany continues to
00:16:45kill, displace and destroy. Speaker slamed the ongoing German
00:16:49complicity in the genocide. The country is Israel's second largest
00:16:53arms trader, the second largest arms trader. Despite
00:16:56contrary claims from Israel has further increased since the beginning the year
00:17:00as late as August of this year, Germany
00:17:04finished manufacturing a new submarine for.
00:18:07the genocide, it has not stopped and the whole world is watching.
00:18:11Although the demonstration remained peaceful, it saw heavy police presence and
00:18:15several arrests were made for expressing support for the
00:18:18resistance forces and for using the slogan from the river to the sea, Palestine will
00:18:22be free. Of course, there were some arrests
00:18:26too. Unfortunately, that is normal in Berlin, but we
00:18:30succeeded because we were able to hold the demonstration. People made their voices
00:18:34heard. We must keep going until the killing stops.
00:19:07Gaza after the years of genocide. Max Chavili
00:19:11reports. More than
00:19:1510,000 people took to the streets the Italian capital, Rome to
00:19:18stage a march in support the Palestinians after three years of
00:19:22Israeli regimes genocide. The march organized by
00:19:26Palestinian student movements, the young Palestinians of
00:19:29Italy, Association of Palestinians in Italy and the Arab
00:19:33Palestinian Democratic Union started from the iconic.
00:19:52We say enough with the genocide, enough with imperialistic wars
00:19:56of aggression. Gaza has been under
00:20:00attack for more than 70 years. Enough with Israel saying that
00:20:04it has the right to self-defense. and a
00:20:08pretext to perpetrate its ethnic cleansing campaign, the
00:20:12Rome March dubbed the end of genocide is the end
00:20:15of Zionism, coincided with similar march held in
00:20:19some 50 Italian cities. People at the rally are
00:20:23calling on the Italian government to once and for all sever
00:20:27all ties with Israel. In April, Rome
00:20:30announce that it would suspend its defense cooperation agreement with Tel
00:20:34Aviv, move that many down play.
00:20:51information
00:20:58going less around, less especially and on arms trafficking, on weapons dest on arms
00:21:02There is trafficking, on weapons destined for Israel. There is no willingness to change
00:21:06things, not only from the Italian government, but also from the opposition party. Lobby
00:21:10is as strong as the American one, and Italy is simply subjugated by these
00:21:14groups. Marches in support the besieged
00:21:17Palestinians were also held in.

00:23:27I think that's a question of responsibility of all the
00:23:31people and all the country in Europe to step to

00:28:36One morning, the balance of power in West Asia was
00:28:39shattered. October 7th was not simply another day
00:28:43of war. It was the moment, decades of assumptions,
00:28:47alliances and security doctrines began to
00:28:50collapse.
00:28:57And as the battlefield expanded from Gaza to the heart the
00:29:01region, one quick... became impossible to
00:29:04ignore, what was Iran prepared to risk and how
00:29:08far would it go for Palestine? This is the story of
00:29:11Iran October 7 and the confrontation that
00:29:15changed West Asia
00:29:16forever.
00:29:36Breaking news: a major escalation in tensions between the US and
00:29:40Iran, the top Iranian general Assam Salamani has been killed in an
00:29:44air strike while leaving the Baghdad airport. He was with an Iraqi paramilitary
00:29:47commander named Abu Mahi al-Muhandis and other Iraqi
00:29:51officials. Circling somewhere high above them was reaper, a US
00:29:55military remote controlled killer
00:29:57drone. It's unlikely they would
00:30:01have seen or heard it. They probably
00:30:05died instantly. Soleimani was the commander the
