00:00:00is another goal, arms should be born by
00:00:04the national authority
00:00:06only, and for the region, for the stability of region,
00:00:10this is of crucial importance, and obviously our
00:00:13stability is important for the region at large,
00:00:17so that is why in order to achieve stability in the
00:00:21region, these these things
00:00:24must be taken into
00:00:26of account,
00:00:52of
00:00:54of
00:01:05of
00:01:16of
00:01:30national trade and a strategic railway
00:01:34line would between Turkey, Syria,
00:01:37Jordan and Saudi Arabia would bring together all these
00:01:41countries and also honor our historical
00:01:44heritage, and from
00:01:46a diplomatic point of view, this is going to make us even stronger
00:01:49and also um
00:01:53contribute to our efforts to achieve peace and prosperity and will
00:01:56also help us make the best use of our resources.
00:02:00"and on the diplomatic domain, as you know, there are many regional
00:02:04developments that are unfolding, wars and we are keeping very
00:02:08close eye on these developments, the attacks
00:02:12between the US and Iran, these need to come to an end as soon as possible,
00:02:15because we're also
00:02:16in being affected by these by these
00:02:19of events, and that is why we would like to call out
00:02:22to all the stakeholders and call
00:02:26out to brotherly Arab nations, the attacks towards..." these
00:02:30nations, we also condemn the stability
00:02:33of these brotherly arab nations is really important for us, because all of
00:02:37this is an impact on the stability
00:02:39of the region, and that it goes without
00:02:42saying that between the countries
00:02:45in the region, there needs to be more coordination
00:02:48and along the syrian borders and
00:02:51armed militia, pose an
00:02:55important threat to our national
00:02:58security.
00:03:01and um that is why in the face
00:03:03of these threats as a Syrian uh government we
00:03:06continue to work then night to protect our national
00:03:10security, these steps are incredibly
00:03:12important and all the technical um we
00:03:16will use all the technical means to make it happen, we will continue to do
00:03:20in so
00:03:20and of course uh we want Syrian citizens to come
00:03:24back to their
00:03:25of homelands and yes um those who
00:03:28return um we believe will
00:03:32be the foundation of New Syria, we believe that we will draw
00:03:35strength from their return, and when it comes to health care
00:03:39and schooling, electricity,
00:03:41all the other infrastructure related services, we're working in close
00:03:45cooperation with
00:03:46brotherly, we work
00:03:50with our neighbor to fix these problems, we have
00:03:54very long land border between Syria and Turkey and
00:03:58we want peace and prosperity.
00:04:16of
00:04:29of
00:04:34a
00:04:38Syria and which steps will you take to achieve this?
00:04:41and my next question is for minister fidan, the peace
00:04:45process in gaza, what would you make
00:04:48of the latest developments in oman? there was this
00:04:51of important meeting that took place yesterday in the west bank, Israel
00:04:54is continuing its belligerancy and attacking
00:04:58holis sides.
00:05:21during the war, many Syrians, as you know, had to flee their
00:05:24homeland and seek refuge in Turkey and now, especially
00:05:28after the revolution, now that the economic
00:05:32environment is getting better is improving, we are
00:05:35working really hard, and Turkey is really well advanced
00:05:39when it comes to these matters,
00:05:41and Turkey will
00:05:42help us.
00:07:12the underscored second the stage, second
00:07:22importance of this, and now where we are, as we move
00:07:26and we phase,
00:07:26have towards always we are seeing that Israel is getting cold feet, they're not
00:07:30really committing themselves to this in good
00:07:33faith,
00:07:37not and wish take any
00:07:38steps
00:07:39they cause do them to to leave
00:07:42that will Gaza.
00:13:25actors and we know what needs to be done in the face of
00:13:28such such threats. i thank you once again for your attention, thank you very
00:13:32much.
00:13:40that was a press conference in the Turkish capital Ankara just wrapping
00:13:44up with foreign minister Hakan Fedan with his Syrian counterpart
00:13:48assad al shaibbani. quite a lot of
00:13:52discussions were had on regional conflicts. and
00:13:55wars, um, some noteworthy points include ongoing efforts to make
00:13:59Syria more stable. Minister Fedan said the welfare of both
00:14:03Syria and Turkia is inter-twine, adding that when Damascus is prosperous,
00:14:07so are its neighbors. Tr tool's diplomatic correspondent
00:14:10Hasan Abdullah was also listening in. Hassan, one important
00:14:14move for the Syrian government is to bring all these local armed
00:14:18factions under single organized structure, as minister Fidan had
00:14:22mentioned. Um, how was this operation go? and of course I'm
00:14:25happy for you to include other note with the points that you picked up on by the
00:14:29foreign
00:14:30ministers, that's
00:14:34right, well the central focus has been on security, the security situation in
00:14:37Syria as well as the regional situation and in the context the
00:14:41various armed groups that are operating in Syria, we heard from the
00:14:45Syrian foreign minister talking about the importance of
00:14:49having all those operate under central command of Damascus,
00:14:53now of course one the challenges. that the two sides have been discussing is
00:14:56that in the south of Syria you've got Israel that has been
00:15:00providing support to some non-state actors that
00:15:04has been contributing towards destabilization of Syria,
00:15:08Syria has been looking towards Turkey to provide assistance in that
00:15:11regard, primarily in terms of capacity building
00:15:15and in terms of basically taking steps that would
00:15:19try to create deterrence for Israel to
00:15:23destabilize Syria now, There was a lot of talk about regional
00:15:27security cooperation, the bilateral level
00:15:30cooperation between Turkey and Syria as well as multilateral
00:15:34cooperation between various countries, particularly the... arab
00:15:38world and the talks that happened earlier in
00:15:41Jordan, they are basically talking about Israel as
00:15:45the central destabilizing force, for example
00:15:47we heard from Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fedan, he said that Israel's
00:15:51intentions and actions have been clear, it has been
00:15:54destabilizing situation not just in
00:15:57Syria but also Lebanon and the
00:16:01occupied Palestinian territories, and he talked about the bigger picture that
00:16:04needs to be addressed, of course
00:16:06there was a bilateral. mention as well, particularly economic dimension, turkey has
00:16:10been engaged in the capacity building of economic and
00:16:14financial institutions in Syria, we understand
00:16:17that Turkey is going to be building a
00:16:20school very soon in Damascus and also as the foreign minister said
00:16:24it's going to be working on the development of Syrian health infrastructure as
00:16:28well.
00:16:29I appreciate you listening as well, that's Hassan Abdullah there for
00:16:33us in Ankara. Thank
00:16:34you.
00:16:42To continue, well Iran and Oman have reached an understanding on the
00:16:46geographic coordinates for shipping route to the street of Almos, but
00:16:50Toront says that does not automatically guarantee safe navigation
00:16:53the waterway. US President Donald Trump expressed optimism about a
00:16:57potential agreement. Iran however, continues to deny direct
00:17:01talks with the United States and blames its blockade for holding a
00:17:05progress. Craig Boswell reports of
00:17:07Washington US president
00:17:11Donald Trump made only a passing reference to ending the Iran war during a
00:17:15campaign speech in Las Vegas on Wednesday. We were all set for the
00:17:19biggest attack since World War II and they called me
00:17:23and they said please don't do it let's talk and then they don't they said we never
00:17:27said that but we are talking let's see what
00:17:29happens. Terran says they are not
00:17:32talking, but a framework agreement for commercial shipping through
00:17:36the straight of homo being hammered out between Iran and
00:17:39Oman, the map, the transit roots, the
00:17:43entering and exiting of maritime traffic, and those by
00:17:46literal site agreements with Oman, because it's not just
00:17:49map, these fundamental agreements with Oman have been mostly
00:17:53completed, meaning we have made significant progress in our
00:17:57discussions with Oman, and this progress is on the verge of being
00:18:01finalized. Iran says it will not automatically reopen
00:18:05the crucial waterway, late Tuesday. Trump placed a time
00:18:08frame on the deal very nicely, we'll
00:18:12find that, well in 48 hours. The US president
00:18:16made that statement after saying all-day negotiations with Iran were
00:18:20positive. He immediately followed that up with a threat to resume military
00:18:24operations. It remains unclear from the Trump administration
00:18:27standpoint exactly who is talking, but the Americans have been
00:18:31clear that fees to transit the straight are not an
00:18:34option. As you know, the mediators. Pakistan and
00:18:38now Oman are all working together on on that issue, we are
00:18:41coordinating very closely with the Omanis to facilitate the talks between both sides
00:18:45and exchanging ideas. Marine traffic data on Wednesday shows about
00:18:4910 commercial ships passed through the straight of Homus in about 25
00:18:53hours, as the standoff over the straight continues, so do the
00:18:57rising costs for American consumers and the global
00:19:00economy. Craig Boswell, TRT World,
00:19:03Washington. Raza Hatami is in
00:19:06Tedan with. the breakdown of those details in the iran omani agreement that relates to
00:19:10the waterway, commercial
00:19:14shipping basically means any ship that
00:19:18serves no military purpose, it means it
00:19:21includes oil tankers, it includes
00:19:24cargo, vessels, any ship that is
00:19:27not military and has no military dimension, but we have emphasize here that
00:19:31Iran says that deal with oman doesn't mean
00:19:35that the straight of hormos has been reopened, mean
00:19:38a deal with oman doesn't automatically reopen the straight
00:19:42of hormos. Iran says that other conditions have to
00:19:46be met before Tehran reopens this strategic
00:19:50waterway, including the United States lifting its naval blockade
00:19:53e including the United States stopping military threats.
00:19:57basically Iran wants the United States to return
00:20:00to the Islamabad memorandum of understanding and we
00:20:03know that if the United States is to
00:20:07by its commitments under the Islamabad memorandum of understanding, it has
00:20:11to lift the naval blockade, it has to grant wavers and Iran
00:20:15sanctioned oil and petrochemical products, and the
00:20:19United States has also declare officially that the war on Iran is
00:20:23over, Israel has to stop its attacks on Lebanon as well, as
00:20:27Iran and the United States, both them have reported good
00:20:30progress in talks between Tehran and
00:20:34Muscat, very few ships have been able to pass through this...
00:20:38of hormous and also there has been report of a fresh attack on
00:20:42Wednesday evening a vessel that was transiting through the
00:20:46straight of hormus, but basically if the straight... gets
00:20:50reopened. Iran says that any ship from any country that wants
00:20:54to pass through the strate of Ormus has to coordinate with Iran
00:20:57first and as to get Iran's
00:21:00approval. Yemen's Iran
00:21:04alliand Hothies have confirmed a missile attack on yet another
00:21:07Saudi linked oil tanker. The group says the vessel was targeted in the
00:21:11Gulf of Aden. On Wednesday they also claimed responsibility for the attack
00:21:15a Saudi tanker off the coast the red sea port of Yannbu. These
00:21:19latest attacks. come as the huthies step up pressure on Saudi Arabia after
00:21:23imposing naval blockade in the red sea last month of what they call a
00:21:26quote Saudi seege of
00:21:28Yemen. The Israeli
00:21:31military says two of its soldiers have been killed and eight wounded during combat
00:21:35in southern Lebanon. The strikes on Wednesday w in retaliation to
00:21:39what Israel described as Hezbulah violations the seasfire.
00:21:43It also urged residents the village of Monsuri to
00:21:46evacuate saying it was targeting and destroying Hezbollah infrastructure.
00:21:50there this uptake and violence is playing out
00:21:53against the backdrop the final day of peace talks in Rome between Israel and
00:21:57Lebanon, on the agenda, outstanding issues relating to the
00:22:01next phase of a gradual Israeli withdraw from southern Lebanon under US
00:22:05burked framework deal, diplomats are also looking into working a
00:22:09comprehensive peace and security
00:22:11agreement and is really forces continue
00:22:14to storm the calandia refugee camp in the occupied west
00:22:18bank, 16 palace have been injured, six
00:22:21palestinians have also been arrested emit the raids. They come day after
00:22:25the Palestinian red cresent said eight people were injured when Israeli
00:22:29forces sent reinforcements into the calander refugee camp in the
00:22:33occupied west bank. Local media reported the Israeli army
00:22:37distributing leaflets saying a large scale raid was
00:22:40being carried out in the camp. And
00:22:44three people have been killed in overnight strikes by Russia on Ukraine's eastern
00:22:48city of Balak. kia in the Karkiv region,
00:22:52rescue operations are underway as teams are struggling to clean out the debris
00:22:56from the attack, it comes after at least 17 people were killed and
00:23:00dozens more injured by a barrage of Russian missiles
00:23:04and drones launched at Kiev and the surrounding region early on
00:23:07Wednesday. Soon after the attacks,
00:23:11Ukraine's president spoke with NATO calling for more support. President
00:23:15of Zelinsky has also been hosting the UK's defense secretary in
00:23:19Kieve telling him that Moscow wants to further escalate the
00:23:22conflict, we think that we need the
00:23:25unanimity and we need strong support
00:23:27from from your country and from all other European
00:23:30France, that it this is a signal also that Russia
00:23:34gives us and to the world that they don't want to stop,
00:23:38and I think that they want to continue and to, I mean increase
00:23:42escalation, yes using the ballistic missiles
00:23:46and we have our estimation I want to share with you,
00:23:50have estimation that they will have, they will increase the production of such
00:23:54ballistic missiles. meanwile,
00:23:58the Russian army says its air defense systems shut down 605
00:24:01Ukrainian drones overnight. Local authorities reported logistics
00:24:05center belonging to Russian e-commerce giant wild berries had
00:24:09been slightly damaged a Ukrainian drone attack. Kyev is reportedly
00:24:13seeking to disrupt the operations the online retailer which are
00:24:17accused of aiding Russia's war. and
00:24:20Myanmar's leader is in Thailand on
00:24:22an un official visit as Bangkok pushes for re-engagement with its wartor
00:24:26neighbor and ASE and the regional block.
00:24:30Myanmar's leaders have been bad from ASEAN's summits since
00:24:332021 when Minister Ong Kling
00:24:37staged a coup against the elected government of Antansuchi,
00:24:41it led to a civil war that killed an estimated
00:24:45100 thousand people. Minison is the subject
00:24:49of raft. western sanctions and has been seeking international
00:24:52legitimacy since becoming president in April. It followed an
00:24:56election he won overwhelmingly by an army backed party
00:25:00in the absence of any viable opposition.
00:25:04Amimas president Minang's today visit to
00:25:07Thailand on Thursday puts trade and cross-border crime on the agenda
00:25:11along their shared frontier. Bangkok is seeking closer
00:25:15cooperation against networks that have survived repeated crackdowns as
00:25:19the former grunta leader tries to restore formal ties in the
00:25:22region. Let's take closer look. The one says
00:25:26Mawadi, a tung in southeastern Myanmar has become
00:25:30a major cyber scam and human trafficking hump.
00:25:34workers are lowed with fake jobs into industrial compounds
00:25:38and forced to run romance and
00:25:42cryptocurrency investment scams targeting victims
00:25:45worldwide. In February 2025, Bangkok cut
00:25:49electricity. internet and fuel to 5mm border areas, then
00:25:52tightened telecom, banking and uh border
00:25:56checks. Thailand also helped free about 5,00 people trapped in
00:26:00Myanmar Scam centers. Right, groups estimate that more than
00:26:045,300 foreign nationals are still being held in four
00:26:07sites. last month, mayma passed a law
00:26:10authorizing life imprisonment for operating a scam center
00:26:14while violent collusion can carry the death penalty if victim
00:26:18dies. yet the UN says the networks are outpacing enforcement using
00:26:22AI and expanding after taking at least 88 billion
00:26:26dollars from Asia pacific victims last
00:26:28year. that's the news. For
00:26:32now, business is coming up

00:27:37Courage or cowordis? Switzerland is thinking
00:27:41again about being
00:27:42neutral, and the
00:27:46country's arms industry wants changes to the law so it can
00:27:49export weapons more
00:27:51easily.
00:27:58What is the price of swiss neutrality? Is it helping others?
00:28:02by being a peacemaker or simply helping
00:28:06itself.
00:28:10neutrality the swiss say doesn't mean they're not ready to
