00:00:00unless the US lift its blockade and meets Teran's
00:00:04of demands. Latest figures show

00:00:12in a US election

00:00:18and French students have resumed blocking schools throughout the country
00:00:22after their return from
00:00:23of two-week
00:00:24holiday.
00:00:32in
00:00:38of
00:00:43In in the name of God, the most compassionate, the most merciful hello and welcome to
00:00:47press, the most merciful hello and welcome to Press
00:00:50of TV news, I am bah, the straight of huls will
00:00:54not reopen until the US lifts its blockate and
00:00:58meets Teran's demands a stress. that the poll is now in Washington's
00:01:02court.
00:01:04Iran. Implementing these demands is essential to restoring
00:01:08regional security. You cannot express
00:01:11of concern over security in the straight of hormas while continuing to impose economic
00:01:15blockade on Iran, disregarding the commitments made under the Islamabad
00:01:18understanding and expecting Tehran to make unilateral
00:01:21concessions. Such a one-sided arrangement would clearly be
00:01:25unsustainable. Iran's insistance that its demands be met first is
00:01:28therefore not merely about. advancing its own national interests, it is
00:01:32a reasonable approach aimed at helping restore security in the straight of hormas and
00:01:36across the Persian Gulf
00:01:37region,
00:01:41at his weekly pressure, said the
00:01:44of US and Israel are responsible for the disruption in the
00:01:47strite of Hormus, he also
00:01:49of rejected of the possibility of transferring Iran's enrich uranium
00:01:53abroad, saying Tehron would not agree to such move, but I
00:01:57acknowledged that the question of withdrawal from the NP. is genuine
00:02:01issue under discussion
00:02:02but emphasized that at the decision making level Iran remains a
00:02:06member
00:02:08in of the treaty and considers itself bound by its commitments addressing the possibility of
00:02:12renewed aggression behi said the war against Iran is already on the
00:02:15way with the blockade forming part of it, he spress that Iran
00:02:19remains prepared for all possible
00:02:21scenarios.
00:02:25Early we were joined by rese, academic research and author
00:02:29who said that this corruption in the straight of hormos is a
00:02:32consequence of US Israel aggression against terron with the whole
00:02:36world now suffering from the fall
00:02:38of out.
00:02:42the straight of hormones was open before end of
00:02:46February when they attacked and killed the Iranian leader, the
00:02:50Iranian children, other
00:02:51of Iranian citizen and infrastructure. the only reason is closed is
00:02:55because Iran rather than developing nuclear weapon and tried
00:02:59to use that, against his enemies is utilizing the strate of
00:03:02hormos, straight of hormos is part of its own territory, it's permitted to do
00:03:06that under all international, moral
00:03:10in and acts of war, and it's the only way, unfortunately the rest
00:03:14of the world empire to the to the
00:03:17empire, to the to the oppressive empire of America,
00:03:21because
00:03:21for 47 years the world kind of assisted or turned
00:03:25away from America putting sanctions on Iran, killing Iranian
00:03:29citizens through. lack of med access to medicine and infrastructure so
00:03:33forth, so now the world has to understand that if Iran is
00:03:37going to have a blockade around it, it's going to suffer sanctions and so
00:03:40forth, the rest
00:03:41of the world either suffers with Iran in the sense
00:03:45of that you know all the prices of going up, lack of commodities, or that the rest
00:03:49of the world also needs to stand up, and that's what we're seeing in Europe, and that's
00:03:52why Europe is burning right now,
00:03:56literally burning because
00:03:58of the acts
00:03:58of the United States.
00:04:02International banking giant Goldman Sax has raised its oil
00:04:06price forecast warning that Brent Cruz could search to
00:04:09$140 a barrel in 2027 if the
00:04:13straight of homose remains closed. Goldman Zack said prices could
00:04:17search to that level if oil output across the
00:04:20of Persian Gulf remains 3.5 million barrels per day below
00:04:24its
00:04:25a 2025 average. The warning comes the made continued
00:04:28uncertainty over the US. israely war on Iran and the impact on
00:04:32global energy supplies since the aggression began in February and
00:04:36Iran's subsequent closure
00:04:38of the straight of hormus oil prices have climbed sharply
00:04:41before the closure more than fifth
00:04:43of the world's oil and gas supplies
00:04:46of pass in through the strategic water
00:04:53a of bay. families of Iranians killed during the 12-day war have taken their
00:04:55of demands to for justice to a courtroom in terron. the first public...
00:05:00hearing has opened at branch 55 of Taran Court of
00:05:03International Affairs where 130 lawsuits are seeking
00:05:07of compensation from the US and Israel. 55
00:05:10of the cases concern victim. the Israeli attack a vin
00:05:14prison which Iranian authorities say killed 71
00:05:18people has
00:05:20more,
00:05:24many lives lost, families left grieving and now a
00:05:27courtroom filled with demands for justice, months after an
00:05:31Israeli air strike devastated parts of Tehran's even prison,
00:05:35families the marters are seeking compensation and legal
00:05:39accountability. Today
00:05:43marks the first public hearing a legal proceedings concerning the
00:05:47attack on Evan prison. We are representing the families of
00:05:51victims the 12-day war a total of 130
00:05:54lawsuits, 55 of which specifically concern the
00:05:58attack on Evan Prison. The first public hearing
00:06:02is taking place at Branch 55 of Terron's Court for International
00:06:06Affairs. According to authorities, 71 people were
00:06:09killed in that strike.
00:07:13upheld and we want those responsible for these crimes
00:07:16to be held accountable. the destruction of civilian facilities
00:07:19and the loss of lives have raised serious questions under
00:07:23international humanitarian law.
00:07:27prisons are civilian facilities and are protected under
00:07:30international humanitarian law. deliberately targeting them in
00:07:34violation of that protection constitutes a war
00:07:37crime. unfortunately even the prison's medical center was
00:07:41struck during the...
00:07:55and their
00:07:56the lawyers families, the lawyers say the lawsuits are intended not only to secure
00:08:00compensation, but to establish legal record the
00:08:04attacks and their consequences. for these families, no
00:08:08court ruling can bring back their loved ones, but they hope that these
00:08:11proceedings. open new avenues and their pursuit of justice.

00:08:57my focus has never wavered. i have been clear about what our

00:09:05about who said what to whom, where they went. i've been
00:09:08consistent. i want to get money out of politics, i
00:09:12want want to put money back in pockets, i want medicare for
00:09:15all, i want to take on the heinous price of gas, the ridiculous price
00:09:19of groceries, the fact that people in the richest, most powerful country in the world cannot see
00:09:23doctor, the notion that we should continue to breathe unclean air
00:09:27or unclean water, that has been the focus of this campaign since april of
00:09:302025 when we kicked it off, it's what we said in rooms across the
00:09:34state, 700 public events, 120 different cities now, it's what
00:09:38i've said in every interview with probably every single one of you right, it's
00:09:41what i said, on tv, it's what I said, I was trying to fall asleep at night. It is
00:09:45the goal of this campaign. It's tough, you all know, it's tough right now,
00:09:49and and we can really change
00:09:52the this country for the better. It's not just this election right
00:09:55here, it's about all across the United States, you're seeing people uh
00:09:59that are sick and tired of millionaires getting what they want, while
00:10:03the rest of us have to pick up the
00:10:05scraps. Democratic and
00:10:08Republican candidates traded sharp attacks during debates. and
00:10:12campaign rallies with the war on Iran and its economic fallouts in the
00:10:16US among the key issues, according to the latest survey,
00:10:19democrats continue to hold an edge over the Republicans, however
00:10:23several closely... contested senate races could determine which party
00:10:27takes ultimate control the congress. Democrats need to flip four
00:10:31Republican health seats to gain control the Senate while
00:10:35defending their own seats in key states such as Michigan,
00:10:39Georgia and New Hampshire. Several states including Texas and
00:10:42California are seeing closely contested house races with
00:10:46competitive contest taking place across the
00:10:49country.
00:10:54The battle for the... control of Congress is becoming a contest of
00:10:57unprecedented financial proportions with wealthy donors and
00:11:01powerful lobbying networks pouring millions into key
00:11:05races. Among the biggest players is the pro Israeli lobby
00:11:08whose growing role in campaign financing is raising questions
00:11:12about money, political influence and the future the US policy towards
00:11:16Israel.
00:11:21The 2026 US mid-term elections are the most expensive and
00:11:25american history, with campaign spending exceeding even that of recent
00:11:28presidential elections, billions of dollars are pouring into congressional
00:11:32races, but behind the unprecedented spending battle is another powerful
00:11:36force, wealthy donors and lobbying networks seeking to shape Washington's political
00:11:40agenda. ProIsrael organizations, led by Apac, have
00:11:43emerged as major financial players investing heavily races involving
00:11:47candidates who challenge unconditional US support for Israel. According
00:11:51to the latest data, spending on political advertisements and reser'.
00:11:55October 26th, compared with approximately October 26th, compared
00:11:59with approximately $3.2 billion dollars during the 2024
00:12:03presidential election season. The figures underline the extraordinary financial scale
00:12:07of this year's mid-terms, while billionaire donors such as Elon Musk, George
00:12:11Soros and Michael Bloomberg are financing candidates across party lines.
00:12:15Money connected to the Pro Israel lobby has become particularly influential in
00:12:19congressional contests. At the center of this network is the American
00:12:22Israel public affairs committee or APAC. and its affiliated super
00:12:26pack, the United Democracy Project. The ladder raised approximately
00:12:30$104 million during the 2026 election cycle through
00:12:34June, already exceeding its entire fundraising total for
00:12:372024. Much of this money has gone into primary
00:12:40contests, where outside spending can determine which candidates advance to the
00:12:44general election. In Michigan, Apax political network spent more
00:12:48than $30 million dollars in the Democratic Senate primary, backing
00:12:51Congresswoman Haley Stevens against Abdul Al- Saied, is critical
00:12:55of United States support for Israel. Elsey had ultimately won the
00:12:59nomination, despite the massive financial campaign against him. The influence
00:13:03these organizations extends beyond Michigan. In Illinois, Apac
00:13:07affiliated groups poured millions into congressional primaries targeting
00:13:10candidates critical of Israel. In Kentucky, the United Democracy
00:13:14project spent millions opposing Republican Congressman Thomas Massy,
00:13:18another vocal critic of US policy toward Israel. The stakes are
00:13:22particularly high in Texas, Ohio and Michigan. which rank
00:13:25among the most expensive
00:13:27than 534 million has been $534 million has been spent
00:13:31on the Texas race alone, while spending in Ohio has exceeded
00:13:34$435 million and Michigan Senate contest has attracted
00:13:38approximately $333 million. the record spending raises
00:13:42a fundamental question: how much influence should wealthy donors and
00:13:46powerful lobbying organizations have donors and powerful lobbying
00:13:49organizations have over the people elected to represent ordinary voted
00:13:52Israel? how much of that political? is being shaped by financial
00:13:56pressure rather than public
00:13:57opinion. French
00:14:01students have resumed blocking schools throughout the country after their return
00:14:05from two-week holiday. The head of a student union said the government's
00:14:09proposals fell short the expectations and failed to address their
00:14:13demands. The blockades are expected to expand on Tuesday
00:14:16spreading to universities across the country. French president
00:14:20Emmanuel Macron has urged schools to resume classes pointing to
00:14:24new government. measures aimed at tackling the education
00:14:27crisis. France has been gripped by nationwide anti-government
00:14:31protest since September the 17th, when student led
00:14:34demonstrations of poor school conditions began. The movement has
00:14:38since widened to include anger over the rising cost of living and
00:14:42soaring fuel prices. The protest is also demanding Maccon's
00:14:46resignation. Human rights groups have accused police of
00:14:50using disproportionate force to suppress the
00:14:53demonstrations. Reporting. that several teenagers have suffered
00:14:56severe, warlike injuries from police
00:14:59weapons. the
00:15:03Israeli military has carried out fresh deadly strikes on the gaza strip
00:15:07in yet another violation of seaspider regime signed with hamas
00:15:11a year ago. drone attacks hit the central and southern parts the
00:15:15coastal strip, killing three and injuring four others. the
00:15:18israely strikes have been killing gazans, many them children almost
00:15:22a daily basis since the genocide began. three years ago on
00:15:26Sunday, attack on al-Mawasi area of
00:15:29Canyonas killed nine Palestinians. One the
00:15:32victims was four-year-old boy and five were policeman. The
00:15:36Israeli genocide. in Gaza has killed over
00:15:3874,500 people since October
00:15:422023. At least 1500 them were killed since the
00:15:46cease fire the last
00:15:47year.
00:15:52It was a massive strike one of its kind involving duck
00:15:56workers across more than 100 ports spanning several
00:15:59continents. The aim put a stop to war, especially arms
00:16:02shipments to the Israeli regime in the occupied Palestine.

00:17:52strike could destrupt over 40% of Mediterranean cargo
00:17:55traffic with participating ports handling
00:17:5963% of container traffic in the region.
00:18:02approximately 52,000 containers were
00:18:06halted during the... 24-hour action and using a
00:18:10un average of $54,000

00:18:17roughly 2.8 billion dollars. other
00:18:20estimated placed the stalled freight at over
00:18:24two billion dollars. the aim was to target military
00:18:28related cargos. for example, the campaign noted that arms
00:18:32shipments continued flowing through ports despite
00:18:35announced export bands. The cargos targeted
00:18:39included weapons, ammunition, military
00:18:42equipment and components for Israel's elbit systems, the
00:18:46country's largest arms manufacturer. The no harbor for
00:18:50genocide campaign tracked 315 shipments of
00:18:54elbit systems components through 56

00:20:01Welcome back some really interesting data and statistics shared by my colleague
00:20:05fazan from press tv's. from here in Tehran, Hamas has
00:20:09conddemed international silence in the face of what it called the sign is
00:20:13terrorism of Israel, vowing that the regime will never manage to eliminate
00:20:17Palestinian national identity. Hamas made the point a
00:20:20statement to mark the 109th anniversary the Ball Four
00:20:24declaration that set off the fabrication of Israel as an
00:20:27entity. The group said the declaration was sinister pledge by
00:20:31Britain to Jews regarding territory Britains didn't own and
00:20:35zionists didn't deserve. It's a Israel is fascist regime
00:20:39that is committing every sort of crime, including killing,
00:20:42displacing, and genocide against Palestinians. Hamas called for a
00:20:46unified Palestinian struggle to liberate the nations.
00:20:50It also reiterated forced refugees right to return to their
00:20:54homeland and called for international pressure to end the Israeli
00:20:58terrorism.
00:21:02a former palestine action activist who spent 547
00:21:06days behind bars without a conviction is speaking out against
00:21:10Britain's crack th on those challenging its military ties with Israel
00:21:14am mid the genocide in Gaza. Acquitted of all charges,
00:21:18Joey Hinchliff describes operation that led to her
00:21:21arrest as controversial judicial decisions, our correspondent
00:21:25sara viva
00:21:26reports,
00:21:33palestine action is a direct action group founded by young people in Britain in
00:21:372020 to shut down companies supply the Israel military
00:21:41arsenal, two factory occupations, blockades and the destruction of
00:21:45military equipment, activists sort to disrupt weapons
00:21:48productions and supply. chains, for Joey Hidcliff, than just
00:21:5220 preparing for university, witnessing the genocide
00:21:55in Gaza, make her direct action, an urgent moral
00:21:59obligation. Britain is one the main countries that is supporting this
00:22:03genocide, and when the government fails to
00:22:06act, the only thing that is left for us to do is
00:22:10direct action. Elbit is Israel's largest weapon
00:22:14manufacturer, supplying drones, surveyance, ting systems
00:22:17and other military equipment. directly being used in the Gaza
00:22:21genocide. On August 6, 2024, Palestine Action targeted
00:22:25its philton facility near Bristol. Joey joined the team intended
00:22:29to enter the factory, destroy military equipment and accept
00:22:32arrest. I was part the red team who had
00:22:36planned to break inside the factory,
00:22:40um, destroy weapons and get arrested, and us and the
00:22:44red team were supported by a black team who are on trial
00:22:48right now and their job. was to protect us
00:22:51and distract the security long enough for us to get
00:22:54inside, we were successful in getting
00:22:57inside and we
00:23:00found
00:23:02quadcopters, we found surveillance quadcopters
00:23:05and we found what are referred to as killer drones, which are used to
00:23:09drop grenades on Palestinians even
00:23:12children, and we were able to destroy them
00:23:16before the police arrived, the operation caused millions of... pounds in damage,
00:23:20according to prosecutors, who also alleged violence against security
00:23:24personnel. Joe says the guards themselves were brutal,
00:23:28militarily trained and used excessive force against them. They
00:23:32were, however, never investigated for exceeding the limits of lawful
00:23:35self-defense. Arrested by counter terrorist police, she
00:23:39was never charged with terrorism. Two juries ultimately acquited
00:23:43her of every charge, but she had already spent
00:23:46547. She had already spent 54. seven days in
00:23:50prison without conviction, sometimes you wouldn't
00:23:54a lot of us were not able eat enough
00:23:57food um and you would spend lot
00:24:01of time maybe 23 hours a day in your cell by yourself without being able
00:24:05to talk to anybody else. four young palestine action
00:24:09activists were convicted of criminal damage, not terrorism,
00:24:13yet justice Jerem Johnson subsequently impos a terrorist connection
00:24:17at sentency, finding never determined by the jury
00:24:20exposing them to harsher punishment. leading human
00:24:24rights lawyer Michael Mensfield KC warned that
00:24:28effectively sentenced defendants as a terrorist without terrorism
00:24:32charges undermine fundamental legal safegards.
00:24:36Johnson had already bad the proposed legal defense based on preventing
00:24:40harm in Gaza, instructing juris to disregard the genocide that
00:24:44motivated their actions. He went further, pursuing
00:24:47contempt of court proceedings against defense. inspires the Rajiv Madon
00:24:51KC over his closing speech, the court of appeal
00:24:55ruled that Johnson's initial referral exceedes his legal
00:24:58power, yet fresh proceedings followed and
00:25:02Johnson was promoted, raising profound concerns about
00:25:06judicial overreach and criminalization of those resisting Israel's
00:25:09genocide in palestine and the zionist lobby interference on the
00:25:13British justice system. We had our defenses
00:25:17removed unfairly.
00:25:20um, the home secretary and other politicians came out
00:25:24and said contemptuous things about us in the press
00:25:28um, which prejudiced the jury poll, but the
00:25:31trial continued anyway. Joey spent 547
00:25:35days behind backs without conviction after taking
00:25:39direct action against Israeli arms manufacturer Albit
00:25:42System, arrested by counter terrorism police, but never
00:25:46charged with terrorism. She was eventually acquitted by a
00:25:50jury, her case exposed the preemptive criminalization of
00:25:54political descent as terrorism in Britain. Sarah

00:26:02of this news bulletin, thank you so much for staying with us on press
00:26:06tv,
00:26:29from bombs stop falling, casualty figures are tallied, are
00:26:32added to lists, but numbers cannot measure the lives that
00:26:36unravel after the explosions. wars count those killed by
00:26:40missiles, they rarely count those who survived them and may
00:26:44later die of grief. yes, you heard that right,
00:26:48grief. 31 year-old say became
00:26:51one of those. in the early hours of march 26th, a US
00:26:55is really strike reduced her family home in asf as hapto neighborhood
00:26:59to rubble. her husband, local football. coach Hussein
00:27:03Maliki and their two young sons, age five and
00:27:07three were killed. Around them, nine homes were destroyed and
00:27:1024 people died from the US Israely attack. Alham
00:27:14survived, for seven hours, rescueers searched through concrete
00:27:18and twisted steel before pulling her from beneath the
00:27:21depre. A fallen sofa had shielded her head from the
00:27:25collapsing building, but her injuries were severe. Her
00:27:29greatest wounds, however, were invisible weeks later. a video
00:27:33of a home standing on the ruins of her home spread across
00:27:36Iran. In her hands was a handritten note rescued from the
00:27:40rubble, one her young son had written before the
00:27:44attack. As she read it, her voice faltered, around
00:27:48her lay the remains the life, her, lay the
00:27:51remains the life she had built. Her father says that

00:27:58withdrew from the world, spoke consently of her.
00:28:02family and struggled to bear even ordinary sounds. after
00:28:06more than two months of overwhelming grief, after losing her
00:28:10family a US-Israely attack, she suffered fatal
00:28:14stroke and died. her story speaks to a quiet or taller
00:28:17war of survivors who carry the destruction with
00:28:21them long after the dust settles. it also
00:28:24reflects a wider pattern of us Israeli aggression across
00:28:28the region that has left behind a deeper toll not only. a
00:28:32single moment of impact, but in the lasting human
00:28:36consequences that
00:28:37follow.
00:28:47Mohammadi was a 30 year old man from
00:28:51Tehran. He was a hard-working laborer, loving
00:28:54husband and father whose world revolved around his little
00:28:58daughter's laughter. He was not famous and he did not live.
00:29:02life of luxury, his world was simple, work, family, and the
00:29:06dream of building better future for his daughter of all, but
00:29:10the US-Israely attack on Iran brought his ordinary life to an end
00:29:14and changed his family's future forever on March 7th,
00:29:172026, Mohammad Riza left home to buy baby formula for his
00:29:21daughter on Abuzar street in for his daughter on
00:29:25Abuzar street in Tehran, an explosion suddenly shook of stone,
00:29:29metal and glass rain down. Muhammad Rizo told his wife to lower
00:29:33her head. moments later, a fragment of bomb struck
00:29:37the back of his head. his last word was his daughter's name,
00:29:40ava. mhammad raza fell into a coma for 21
00:29:44days, his wife Paris held his caloosed hand
00:29:48and showed him videos of ova laughing, begging him to come
00:29:52back. she even repaired his broken motorcycle so he would not be
00:29:56upset when he returned home. they hoped to celebrate the persian
00:30:00new year together. in the final day the year, Paris
00:30:04brought their daughter to her father's bedside, placed their
00:30:07hands side by side and took a photograph. she promised muhammad

00:30:23lives and met their grief and memory helped guide them toward
00:30:27difficult decision. mhammad raza had once told his wife that
00:30:31if anything ever had happened to him, he did not want his organs to be
00:30:35buried with him, he wanted them to save other people's
