00:03:45author who said the disruption and district of removes is a
00:03:48consequence
00:03:49of the us and aggression against Iran, with the whole world
00:03:53now suffering from the
00:03:54fallout. the
00:03:58straight of hormos was open. before end of
00:04:01February when they attacked
00:04:03a and killed the Iranian leader, the Iranian children, other Iranian citizen and
00:04:07infrastructure, the only reason it's closed is because
00:04:10Iran, rather than developing nuclear weapon and try to
00:04:14use that against its enemies is utilizing the straight of
00:04:18homose is part of its own territory, it's permitted to do
00:04:22that under all international moral and acts
00:04:26of war, and it's the only way unfortunately the rest
00:04:32of of the world. has to wake up to the uh empire, to the to the oppressive empire of
00:04:35America, because for 47 years, the world kind of
00:04:39assisted or turned away from America putting sanctions on
00:04:43Iran, killing Iranian citizens through lack of med, access to
00:04:46medicine and infrastructure so forth, so now the world has to
00:04:50understand that if Iran is going to have a blockade
00:04:54around it, it's going to suffer sanctions and so forth, the rest
00:04:57of the world either suffers with Iran in the sense.
00:05:01of going
00:05:02all up, prices lack the of commodities, or that the rest
00:05:04of the world also needs to stand up, and that's what we're seeing in Europe, and that's

00:06:07more than 11 billion dollars in political advertising is
00:06:11projected for america's 2026 mid-term elections
00:06:14sparking debate over the influence of billionaires,
00:06:18bigtech and powerful political
00:06:21organizations. apac is at the center of online
00:06:24backlash with users questioning its role in helping
00:06:28republicans maintained their congressional majority and advanced
00:06:32Donald Trump's foreign policy agenda. Roya is here to tell us
00:06:36more. Thank you kurash for that intro and
00:06:39welcome everyone, more than 11 billion. That's
00:06:43the projected price tag for political advertising in America's
00:06:472026 midterm elections and behind those campaign
00:06:51ads, billionaires, powerful corporations, tech giants
00:06:55and most importantly political organizations
00:06:59spending enormous sums to shape who gets elected and who
00:07:02controls congress. One organization in particular is
00:07:06at the center of this debate apac. Many users
00:07:10online believe this money is help. helping republicans hold to
00:07:14their majorities and advance Donald Trump's agenda, especially
00:07:18when it comes to foreign policy. But what do Americans think
00:07:22about all this money flowing into politics? For congressional
00:07:26candidate Kelly Thompson, this is about what happens after wealthy
00:07:30donors help get their preferred candidates into office, and
00:07:34her message to voters is simple: stop electing
00:07:37politicians to take money from wealthy donors. Let's hear what she have
00:07:41to say.
00:07:474.2 billion
00:07:50dollars. That's how much the ultra rich have
00:07:54poured into this mid-term election.
00:07:58This is not complicated, so follow me now.
00:08:02If the ultra rich are willing to invest
00:08:064.2 billion dollars
00:08:09a mid-term election with no president. on the
00:08:12ballot, the only people they care about on the
00:08:16ballot are your congress people
00:08:20and your senators that are running, and why do they care? because
00:08:24those are the people who write the laws, those are
00:08:28the people that decide who gets taxed
00:08:32and how much, and where that money gets
00:08:36spent, for many
00:08:39users online,
00:08:40they are even questioning whether the... can support candidates who
00:08:44accept money from organizations like Apac. Jimmy puts it
00:08:48blunting bluntly by saying that he's sitting out midterms
00:08:52in all elections, unless a true American
00:08:55first that receives no money from APAC
00:08:59is on the on the table. And moving to another
00:09:03comment, for others, actually the issue goes beyond direct financial
00:09:06support. They argue that political positions can matter just
00:09:10as much as the money itself. and that's exactly how muhammad puts
00:09:14it. now the common denominator isn't Apach anymore, but pro
00:09:18Israel statements and stances, and it's not
00:09:22just traditional billionaires and political donors facing
00:09:25scrutiny. political activist Melissa and Schmidt
00:09:29highlights the role of technology companies associated with
00:09:33Elon Musk, which have been linked to hundreds of millions of
00:09:37dollars in political spending to support Republican
00:09:41candidates, Take a
00:09:42listen.
00:09:48When did we decide it was normal to spend billions of dollars trying
00:09:52to influence elections in this country. Elon Musk
00:09:56alone has reportedly contributed more than 445 million
00:09:59to federal political committees during the 2026 election
00:10:03cycle. And meanwhile, American families are struggling to afford
00:10:07groceries, housing, healthcare, and basic necessities.
00:10:11It just bothers me. You... no campaigns cost money, nobody's arguing that they
00:10:15shouldn't, but when did our elections become so focused
00:10:19on who can raise the most money instead of who has the best
00:10:22ideas? Melissa's argument
00:10:26has struck nerve with users and they are warning that spending big
00:10:30on elections can backfire, especially when voters feel
00:10:34their concerns are being ignored. Shahed Masod has message for
00:10:38Big Tech by saying the following Big Tech tried to buy the mid terms, the mid terms may
00:10:41bury big tech. You can fund a campaign, you cannot buy
00:10:45a backlash. And then there are those who question
00:10:48whether all that political spending will even pay off.
00:10:52Iida has a more blunt take regarding that. by saying, well, all that money invested
00:10:56in losing elections, we're not benefiting from that
00:11:00money, so the backlash is growing across social
00:11:04media, and one question keeps coming up, is American
00:11:07democracy becoming a game that only the richest can afford to
00:11:11play, more than 11 billion dollars in political
00:11:14advertising, the money is flowing, the ads are everywhere, and
00:11:18with Apac at the center of what many users see as attempt to
00:11:22influence elections, another question remains: What does
00:11:26all this money actually buy and whose interests are
00:11:29politicians expected to serve once the votes are
00:11:33counted? That's all for now, thank you for watching. Thank you so much
00:11:37Riya for that report. Now, moving after two weeks of
00:11:40a school holidays a student protest resumed across France
00:11:44on Monday, November the 2nd, but several high schools
00:11:48blocked. Students have denounced police violence saying they will
00:11:52continue mobilizing despite a pressure.
00:11:58student protests have resumed in France, high school students have now
00:12:02organized blockades as the movement has entered new phase. the return
00:12:06to school has not brought an end to the mobilization. students
00:12:10say their demands
00:12:11remain unanswered and insist they are determined to continue
00:12:14protesting.
00:12:18we knew the movement would not lose momentum during the holidays and here we
00:12:22are back for the start
00:12:24the school year. "the government is wrong if it thought we would stop, this
00:12:28is not just a symbolic movement, it reflects widespread anger,
00:12:32and we want things to change. of course, we're not going to stop
00:12:35here. the police violence against us shows the government's
00:12:39hypocrisy. they don't want things to change, so they use heavy
00:12:42police repression to make us abandon the struggle, but that's not going to
00:12:46stop us. find it unacceptable, and it really shows how little the
00:12:50government listens to the
00:12:51people."
00:12:55"for months now, we've been demanding our rights, we're tired the government
00:12:59refusing to listen to us, if they listened, things would be
00:13:02better, it would all move faster and we would have ended the
00:13:06blockates, all we want is better conditions to study, we want to
00:13:09study, we're not blocking schools because we want to skip
00:13:12classes, we actually want to learn, but the government doesn't understand
00:13:16that, they think violence will stop us from protesting, but it only makes us
00:13:20even angrier, we're going to keep fighting until they give in because we've had
00:13:23enough, but..." "the return to school was also marked by reports of
00:13:27physical violence during police interventions, with students
00:13:31describing what they say were brutal acts against
00:13:33them.
00:13:37police officers violently beat us this morning, one officer
00:13:41even tore my sweater while violently pulling me to the ground. they
00:13:45threw me to the ground, my classmates were being choked.
00:13:49another student was grabbed by the legs and dragged along the ground by
00:13:53police officers. we really..."
00:14:25to keep mobilizing until their demands are
00:14:27heard. Casim Hasan reporting for Press
00:14:31TV in
00:14:31Paris.
00:14:36Five people have been killed in freshes ready attacks under Gaza's trip as the
00:14:40Palestinian death tholl since October 2023
00:14:44rises to 74,609
00:14:48causes health ministry says 11 Palestinians were killed
00:14:52and 38 others injured over the past 48. hours,
00:14:55bringing the total number the wounded to
00:14:58175, at least
00:15:011,500, at least 1,500
00:15:04palestinians have been killed since the last year cease fire. as for
00:15:08the strikes have continued across the besieg territory, despite
00:15:12the truth with civilians including children among the
00:15:15victims.
00:15:21behind every casualty figure is a child whose life has
00:15:25being cut short, family that is left shattered
00:15:29and a future stolen. In Gaza's Ready attacks continue to
00:15:32leave children dead, families devastated and
00:15:36survivors struggling. with life altering injuries and
00:15:39trauma. Ibrahim reports and
00:15:41this. The
00:15:45flames have died down, but the devastation remains,
00:15:49what was supposed to be attent sheltering them from
00:15:52bombardment became death trap. Two
00:15:56children were burned to death here after Israeli Shrabnal
00:15:59sparked fire inside their tent, turning a place of
00:16:03refuge into a scene of unimaginable loss.
00:16:09They couldn't extinguish the fire. The mother, Hannah, rushed
00:16:12in panic through the flames, but it was too late, and she
00:16:16sustained burns all over her face and body. They were
00:16:20children sleeping. What was their fault to be killed in this horrific
00:16:24way. In another devastating
00:16:27incident, eight year old Muhammad Wais was killed
00:16:31alongside his father in Gaza City. His mother
00:16:34survived the same Israeli strike, but lost both
00:16:38legs, leaving her to mourn the loss of her husband and
00:16:42young son while coping with live changing
00:16:45injuries. the bloodshed of our
00:16:49children must stop. there is no ceasefire in
00:16:52Gaza. those
00:16:54who claim otherwise are lying. muhammad was beside
00:16:58his father near their tent when an Israeli strike killed them both
00:17:02and left his mother without her legs. a single moment
00:17:06family's world was... scattered, how can arab leaders
00:17:09witness all this and remain silent? how much more innocent
00:17:13blood must be spilled before their humanity
00:17:15awakens? these killings are
00:17:19part of much wider tragedy, according to the
00:17:22euromiditarian human rights monitor, Israeli forces killed
00:17:2619 palestinian children in october alone,
00:17:30average of one child every 35
00:17:33hours. These
00:17:37figures must stand as a stark warning to the Israeli policy of targeting
00:17:41children in particular. Israel has been gravely violating international
00:17:45humanitarian laws and human rights that appears in the indiscriminate killing of
00:17:49civilians and children. By demonizing and dehumanizing Gaza
00:17:53Children, Israel seeks to normalize their killings. This is a continuing
00:17:57crime that requires immediate intervention from the international
00:18:00community. The figures represent far
00:18:04more than a monthly death toll. They reflect. affects not
00:18:08only the loss of life, deep psychologically trauma
00:18:11and deep psychologically trauma and the lasting
00:18:15burden a generation growing up with repeated
00:18:19displacement, fear and
00:18:22insecurity. 19 children in just one
00:18:25month, each had a name, family and dreams that
00:18:29deserved the chance to come true, and for the families left
00:18:33behind, the silence of a child's absence is a
00:18:37loss. that no sease fire or a passing month can

00:18:48international silence in the face of what it called the zinist
00:18:51terrorism of Israel vowing that the regime will never manage to
00:18:55eliminate Palestinian's national identity. Hamas made

00:19:19It said Israel is fascist regime that is committing every sort
00:19:23of crime including killing, displacing, and genocide against

00:19:50547 days behind bars without
00:19:53conviction, speaking out against Britain's crackdown on those
00:19:56challenging its military ties with Israel amid the genocide
00:20:00in Gaza. Acquitted of all charges, Joe
00:20:04Hinchcliff described the operation that led to her
00:20:07arrests as controversial judicial decisions. Our

00:21:30team were supported by a black team who are on trial right
00:21:34now, and their job was to protect us and
00:21:38distract the security long enough for us to get inside. We were
00:21:42successful in getting inside and
00:21:46we found quadcopters.
00:21:50um
00:21:50we found surveillance quadcopters and we found what are referred to as killer
00:21:54drones which are used to drop grenades on
00:21:56palestinians even

00:22:02to destroy them before the police arrived. the operation caused millions of pounds
00:22:06in damage according to prosecutors who also alleged violence against

00:25:34Iran prepared for any
00:25:36scenario.
00:27:12was a 30 year old man from Tehran. He was a
00:27:15hard-working laborer, loving husband and father whose
00:27:19world revolved around his little daughter's laughter. He was not
00:27:23famous and he did not live life of luxury. His world
00:27:27was simple, work, family, and the dream of building better future
00:27:31for his daughter of all. but the US Israely attack on Iran brought
00:27:35his ordinary life to an end and changed his family's future
00:27:39forever on March 7th 2026 Muhammad Riza left home
00:27:43to buy baby formula for his daughter on Abuzar street in Tehran
00:27:47an explosion suddenly shook the area. The sky
00:27:50darkened as pieces of stone, metal and glass rain down. Muhammad razo
00:27:54told his wife to lower her head. Moments later, a
00:27:58fragment of bomb struck the back of his head. His last word what
00:28:02his his daughter's name, ava. Mohammad Reza fell into
00:28:05a coma for 21 days, his wife,
00:28:09Paris held his calused hand and showed him videos of Over
00:28:13laughing, begging him to come back. She even repaired his
00:28:16broken motorcycle so he would not be upset when he returned
00:28:20home. They hoped to celebrate the Persian New Year together.
00:28:24In the final days the year, Pattisaw brought their daughter to
00:28:28her father's bedside, placed their hands side by side and
00:28:32took a photograph, she promised Muhammad Riza she would show him
00:28:36the picture the following year, but he never came home. doctors
00:28:40confirmed that he was brain dead and his family faced
00:28:44the most painful truth their lives and met their
00:28:47grief and memory helped guide them toward difficult
00:28:51decision. mhammad raza had once told his wife that if anything
00:28:55ever happened to him, he did not want his organs to be buried with
00:28:58them, he wanted them to save other people's lives.
00:29:02accepting his wish was not easy, especially for his grieving mother, but
00:29:06in the end the family agreed to donate his organs. By
00:29:10donating Muhammad Riza's heart, kidneys and liver, the
00:29:14family gave several patients a second chance of life.
00:29:18The US Israely attack took him away from his loved ones, but through
00:29:22his final act of generosity he brought hope to other
00:29:26families. Muhammad Riza and his wife had waited 10 years to have
00:29:30a child when Oba was born, he cared for. her with joy, made
00:29:33plans for her future and dreamed of teaching her sports and music. he
00:29:37wanted her to grow up strong and learn to stand up for her rights.
00:29:41now, oba talks to her father through his photograph and kisses it every
00:29:45morning. she's still too young to understand why he will never
00:29:49come home again. perhaps one day when she's older, her
00:29:53mother will tell her how her father lived, how he worked
00:29:57quietly and tirelessly, helped those in need and thought of
00:30:00saving others even as he. was leaving this world, Mohammad Reza
00:30:04Behbudi lived simple life, but his legacy reached
00:30:08far beyond it. The war took away of us chance to grow up
00:30:12beside her father, yet his final gift gave other people the chance to
00:30:16live, return home and remain with their loved ones. Perhaps
00:30:20this is the heartbreaking yet hopeful meaning of Muhammad Riza's
00:30:24life, a man who lost his life in the US Israely
00:30:27attack, gave the gift of life to others through organ
00:30:30donation while his own little. daughter must grow up with the
00:30:34pain of his
00:30:35absence.
00:30:58after months of war, the people of southern Lebanon return
00:31:01home.
