00:00:09United in their defense, todkia, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed
00:00:13new pact
00:00:21Iran and Oman close in a deal to reopen the
00:00:23of straight off for moves. Washington says it will lift its blockade of Iranian ports
00:00:27when that happens. Columbia. new right-wing president is sworn
00:00:31in and immediately backed the
00:00:32of $1 billion dollar security pledge from the United
00:00:35States. And Thailand's government promises new gun laws
00:00:39after a 14-year-old
00:00:40of shoots dead at least seven people, including five teachers at his
00:00:43school.
00:00:49of
00:00:58of
00:01:04Hello again, new deal between Turkia, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan has committed them to
00:01:08the defense of one another as fall out
00:01:10of from the war on Iran prompts new concerns around the region. The
00:01:14agreement has been signed in Mecca, it will see closer military
00:01:17of corporation. It also includes a NATO style collective defense clause, which means
00:01:20an attack
00:01:21of on one will be
00:01:22of considered attack on all. Turquia's president says
00:01:26the agreement reaffirms the right to self-defense is defined in article. 51
00:01:30of the UN charter, he says it's not directed against any country and is
00:01:34open to the participation of all brotherly nations seeking to promote
00:01:38peace, prosperity and stability in our region. he says
00:01:41will resolutely maintain its principal stance on resolving conflicts and
00:01:45crises through dialogue and diplomacy based on respect for international
00:01:57arrived in Jidda on Friday, expectations were high that the
00:02:00trilateral summit with Saudi Cram Prince Muhammad bin Salman
00:02:04and Pakistani Prime
00:02:06of Minister Shahbas Sharif would deliver major
00:02:09breakthrough. Those expectations were quickly
00:02:12met. The three leaders signed what they called the Mecca Joint
00:02:16Defense agreement. A landmark pact aimed at deepening military
00:02:20cooperation and strengthening collective security between their
00:02:26of countries. The agreement is built on the three countries longstanding historical time.
00:02:30islamic solidarity and shared strategic
00:02:33interests. its most significant provision is a collective
00:02:37defense
00:02:38de commitment, stating that an armed attack against any one
00:02:41of the three nations will be regarded as an attack against them
00:02:44all. it also pleages to deepen defense cooperation across all
00:02:48of sectors while strengthening collective deterrance with leaders
00:02:52of saying the partnership is aimed at promoting regional peace, stability
00:02:56and security. the summit comes as all three count.
00:03:00seek to expand strategic cooperation and it growing regional
00:03:03uncertainty. Turkey has been actively involved in
00:03:07diplomatic efforts over Gaza, while Pakistan has played a
00:03:11role in mediation between the US and Iran in recent
00:03:14tensions. Saudi Arabia meanwhile continues to position
00:03:18itself as key regional diplomatic actor. The new
00:03:22trilateral framework also builds on growing defense ts between
00:03:25of Riyadh and Islamabad. Following their strategic mutual
00:03:29defense. agreement signed last year, the
00:03:33situation is so fragile, therefore the
00:03:35Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the
00:03:39Turkey just came together just
00:03:43to keep the statico in the region, at least in
00:03:47of my opinion, and they just signed this agreement
00:03:51in Mecca, Mecca is the
00:03:54a holiest site in Islam, and this also added
00:03:57have to pact ' based on
00:04:00military basis. officials say the
00:04:04agreement marks a significant step in institutionalizing
00:04:08of security cooperation between the three regional powers with the new
00:04:12framework expected to
00:04:13of pave the
00:04:13of way for closer military coordination and expanded defense
00:04:17collaboration
00:04:25riyad has mostly relied on the
00:04:29Washington will be interesting,
00:04:37from the White House, the US president Donald Trump departed Washington
00:04:41DC early Friday evening without coming to cameras, but you can kind of
00:04:44put this new security pact in kind of that
00:04:48of category. I think you mentioned a more
00:04:50of fallout of from this US-Israeli war on Iran as US
00:04:53of partners in the region now seek new security arrangement. It can
00:04:57also
00:04:58of kind of point to questions that this leads to about the
00:05:01durability of US security guarantees, also questions
00:05:05about uh Israel's expanding military operations,
00:05:09and uh,
00:05:09a it might be even more about reassessing. their
00:05:13security arrangements then it is about a formal military alliance,
00:05:17but that of course remains to be seen as this is all very new and
00:05:20kind of comes back to what we talked about lot in late
00:05:23february around in march just after the US and Israel
00:05:27launched this war about did the US consider the
00:05:31impacts of launching those attacks and launching a war on Iran, did it
00:05:35consider the impacts to its US allies in the region, and
00:05:39it appears that uh the answer
00:05:42is like,
00:05:42we didn't consider it enough and now this is kind the response to that
00:05:46and um
00:05:46so in in practice, in theory rather, this would
00:05:50be kind of like the NATO article 5 where if attack on one
00:05:54would be attack on on all, so in theory will
00:05:57you know in practice will have to see if it plays out that way. by the way, article
00:06:015ive the NATO pact is only been uh invoked just one
00:06:10we've been hearing from various sources? senior ones in the US
00:06:13government that deal about the strato for moves and freedom of navigation
00:06:17there is imminent, but we still haven't heard
00:06:19anything,
00:06:24exactly, but we have, we keep hearing from US officials in
00:06:28absence of the president kind of talking about this, it is imminent,
00:06:32we've been hearing that all week, and this and we've been here
00:06:35before, but this does feel like something is
00:06:39moving forward, there and obviously Iran and... do seem
00:06:43to be close to finalizing this uh from US officials, we
00:06:46also know that once they say commercial shipping is restored that the
00:06:50US will lift the blockade of Iranian ports, that of course also
00:06:54remains to be seen, that is US leverage, that's economic leverage over Iran, and
00:06:58then of course we have this some US officials that this is all
00:07:01performance based, so Rand's commitments to its agreements,
00:07:05and that is kind of where the flash point has been in the past, and and
00:07:09the differences and culture differences and differences of... interpretation
00:07:13and language where that that has caused the flare-ups uh in these
00:07:17attacks, but look, there is still the US stance that
00:07:21Iran can't have iron grip on the straight off from moves uh and it
00:07:25is Iran stance that
00:07:27it is going to have some type of control, it could even
00:07:30perhaps charge for commercial shipping that may
00:07:34not be part of this agreement, but that's something Iran has talked about, so we still have two
00:07:38sides, the US and Iran at differing opinions about.
00:07:42the straight off for moves, but yet we have this deal, and so
00:07:46perhaps this deal will be finalized, and so for the US president, the choice
00:07:50is accept it uh or not, or walk away from
00:07:54it and claim victory either way, and just say that let the Europeans
00:07:58deal with the straight off from mouse, and we've kept Iran from having a nuclear
00:08:02program, so we've won the war, uh, Donald Trump will need to claim a
00:08:06win, so it's going to be interesting to see what the US president says
00:08:09and does once this agreement is finalized.
00:08:13Akbar Ah a former Pakistani diplomat, he explains how the defense deal
00:08:17between Turkia, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan could affect the
00:08:20region. When you look at what's happened, it is a
00:08:24historic moment, Muslim
00:08:27commentators, press are already talking
00:08:30about a possible emergence of a Muslim
00:08:34NATO, so this this agreement has
00:08:37tremendous potential, they've got span, that
00:08:41means from. to Pakistan, you see huge chunk
00:08:44of Europe and Asia now being covered, you got
00:08:48population, now they can claim to be nuclear,
00:08:51the only second nuclear power in that region apart from Israel,
00:08:55so very significant, at the same time they are serious
00:08:59problems around and within these nations, there's the
00:09:02problem of inequality of development of education,
00:09:06but this gives impitus and new lease of life
00:09:10to all three countries and als three countries have one characteristic which I
00:09:14want to point out, all three have good favorable
00:09:18relations, a good report with the president the United States which always
00:09:22matters in international politics. If you
00:09:25go back to Professor Mshima, one the leading, probably
00:09:29the leading political scientis of America, he talks in terms
00:09:33of great power rivalry, he talks in terms of
00:09:36four hegemonds, the United States, Russia and China
00:09:40and India possibly and... who dominate the
00:09:44world politics and in that context you see what is
00:09:48happening in the straight of hormos over the last few months, there was
00:09:51chaos, there was confusion,
00:09:53there was a lack of leadership and no one seemed to know what was happening
00:09:57and how to resolve the problem, that's why you
00:10:00need some international organization which
00:10:04would attract both parties in in conflict and try to
00:10:08resolve issues and that is why possibly i'm just conjecting.
00:10:12"this particular move may develop into a group, because already you
00:10:16have Egypt wanting to join, you have Malaysia very keen to join,
00:10:20so if these countries do join up and you have half billion
00:10:24people, overnight the Muslim world has
00:10:27hegemmon and if there is hegemmon in the Muslim world you suddenly
00:10:31have a force that could act as a counterbalance to the
00:10:35other existing edgemonsk. the UN security council
00:10:38has expressed concern over escalation of fighting in Yemen, calling on all
00:10:42parties to avoid actions that could threaten peace. on Friday huthi
00:10:46missile and drone attack on the displacement camp and the government held city of Marib killed
00:10:50at least two people, the day before Huti missiles and drone strikes
00:10:54killed around 60 government troops, there was also separate attack,
00:10:5811 people injured inside Saudi Arabia, the hoothies who control
00:11:02large areas of Yemen, including the capital Sana say soudy led coalition,
00:11:06it's been fighting for the past 11 years, it's preparing a military
00:11:15in Yemen is going wider, especially that these continue
00:11:18their attacks on positions that they say the the belong to the
00:11:22internationally recognized government, the... They said that these
00:11:26attacks are preemptive attacks in order to
00:11:30stop any builds up against them, so far
00:11:33the the Thursdays was the deadliest attack,
00:11:37now Friday's attack
00:11:41according to I witness have targeted a
00:11:44military camp which is called a Sahn military camp, but also
00:11:48government sources and and particular health ministry
00:11:52says that the displaced people have been. injured and killed in
00:11:56that attack, so far we are witnessing built up of
00:11:59operations, also attacks by the his in the in the red
00:12:03sea, they have the have targeted in the gulf of Eden, a
00:12:07Saudi oil tanker, which was the eighth one, also they have
00:12:11targeted another one and off the coast the
00:12:15yumber in Saudi
00:12:16Arabia,
00:12:23just few hours ago, Spain and... imposed border controls for anyone arriving from
00:12:27Italy, there's an escalating EU dispute over irregular
00:12:31migration. Italy had imposed the same measures anyone arriving from Spain
00:12:35after a mass influx of migrants into Spanish territory last
00:12:39week. tens of thousands of undocumented migrants made their way to
00:12:42Madrid's North African enclave of Selta. The move by Rome was
00:12:46supported by Finland and Denmark. The Czecho Republic was calling for Spain's
00:12:50membership the Shengen free travel zone to be suspended. Madrid is
00:12:54upset with. what it says is lack of solidarity in the face of what it believes
00:12:58should be a collective responsibility.
00:13:01abelardo la esperia
00:13:03is the man he's been sworn in his colombia's new president and just few hours after the
00:13:07ceremony the US pledged a $1 billion dollar security package for his new
00:13:11government. esperia is a political novice from the far
00:13:14right. his administration has been welcomed into the shield the americas a
00:13:18trump led alliance of latin american nations who have pledged to fight
00:13:21narcotrafficking. spa only just one
00:13:25election, his margin of victory, 250,00 votes,
00:13:29just about one percentage point, so certainly the political divisions in
00:13:33colombia are
00:13:34clear.
00:13:39i am sending a firm message to the colombian people, the time has come
00:13:43to restore order, authority and
00:13:45freedom, attitude towards ending
00:13:49narcotrafficking, it's radically different to that of his left-wing predecessor,
00:13:53from colombia, here's Manuel rither: now what's
00:13:57been happening in the past four years is that the Colombian government has been
00:14:00attempting peace negotiations with the countries remaining
00:14:04in rebel groups. so what could happen now? if these
00:14:08negotiations get all of sudden cancelled
00:14:11with some the groups that are that were still in talks with the
00:14:15government, they might react by staging attacks. so it is
00:14:19somewhat of a tense situation and certainly it's a
00:14:22180 degree turn in the Colombia's
00:14:26Colombian government's security policy and its approach to the
00:14:30conflict that has been going
00:14:32on in Colombia for decades. now we have had this
00:14:35before 15, 20 years ago with a
00:14:39more hard line approach, what that did at
00:14:42that time, some people say is
00:14:46force
00:14:47you the rebel group at that time to fight guerrillas to sit
00:14:51down at negotiations, perhaps it place some pressure on the...
00:14:55to finally sign a peace deal with the government in
00:14:582016, what analys here say,
00:15:02however, is that you need to have both things, you need to exert pressure
00:15:06on rebel groups, but you also need to have an avenue of
00:15:09negotiations, because we're talking about an estimated
00:15:1320,00 people in Colombia right now that are
00:15:16involved in these rebel groups or in these criminal groups
00:15:20and somehow you need to find a pathway
00:15:24for them to join. civilian life right, for them to
00:15:27retire from these groups and and join the rest of
00:15:31society, and it's quite difficult to
00:15:34see how you could only achieve that through.
00:16:08not only in term security but also economically, one must
00:16:12recognize that it was very polarized election,
00:16:15one in which two extremes the political spectrum
00:16:19arrived at the final round, and in which the difference
00:16:23was less than one%, and that demonstrated
00:16:27also a thir for change regarding not
00:16:31only the security policy, but especially regarding the
00:16:35failures the peace process or... the total peace process
00:16:38in colombia that was led by the
00:16:42petrol administration and also the third colombia
00:16:46had for an outsider the political system to arrive to the
00:16:49presidency. again, the result was decided by less than
00:16:53one%. it was very, very
00:16:56close. um, and
00:16:58this demonstrates that the opposition is already inforce its campaign
00:17:02not only
00:17:03for during the next four years for the presidency in 2030, but also the fact
00:17:07that... next year there will be local elections, so political parties
00:17:11are already trying to test out what could their messages be and in
00:17:15that trying to animate their basis, which is demonstrated by not
00:17:18only this discourse and this protest are
00:17:22going today in those transition power, but it's
00:17:26what yet to come not only in terms of political holding this government
00:17:30accountable, but also in trying to construct that narrative that
00:17:34will allow them to contest the regional election. which will happen in
00:17:38October of next year, at least seven people have been killed in a
00:17:42mass shooting on the outskirts the Thai capital, Bangkok. Police say
00:17:46teenage student shot his grandparents before going to school, killing five
00:17:49teachers and then turning the gun on
00:17:57take cover at the school in Thailand's Nantaburi province
00:18:01as gunfire rings out. Police says a 14
00:18:05year old fired dozens of R founds a teachers and
00:18:08students with a handgun taking from family member. He
00:18:12had also killed his grandparents at home earlier on Friday
00:18:16morning. I saw students who had been shot,
00:18:20some in the arm, some in the back, some in the chest. We rushed to get them to
00:18:24hospital. Thailand has one the highest rates of
00:18:27civilian gun ownership in Southeast Asia. Several
00:18:31high-profile shootings in recent years have prompted renewed
00:18:35debate over gun access and public
00:18:38safety. I have sent relevant
00:18:41officials to the area. This is horrible, it shouldn't have happened. This is the
00:18:45reason why the government does not permit the extension of firearms
00:18:49possession. This is exactly why. The suspect who shot
00:18:52himself during the incident has been identified as a student at
00:18:56the same school. We rushed up and found that
00:19:00the perpetrator had shot himself in the right side the head and
00:19:04collapsed. When we got up there
00:19:06we checked his pulse. still had one, so we started
00:19:09CPR. As soon as we saw signs during CPR, we had the
00:19:13team bring a board up to carry him to the hospital. That
00:19:17rescue worker says his own daughter attends this school and he
00:19:21raised there after hearing reports of gun fire. For many
00:19:24families, hours of waiting ended with the worst
00:19:28possible news. It is second shooting at tine
00:19:32school this year. In February, teacher was killed and a
00:19:35student injured an attack. in the south, as
00:19:38investigators search for motive, the attack is again
00:19:42raising questions over firearm axes and whether
00:19:46more can be done to prevent young people from carrying
00:19:49out deadly
00:20:00high school in Nontuby throughout the evening, police vehicles
00:20:04come and go as investigators go into the building. continuing
00:20:08to search for evidence, search for possible motive for this
00:20:11shooting. It unfolded at around 9:30 this morning and went on for
00:20:15around an hour as the 14-year-old youth went from
00:20:19classroom to classroom targeting teachers, um, several
00:20:23teachers died, lot of students were injured, some them critically, there's been
00:20:27an appeal for blood donations, ano blood donations
00:20:30for some the critically ill in hospital, now the prime
00:20:34minister Anatin Chinvadakon visited
00:20:37the site
00:20:37this afternoon. He said he was shocked and saddened by the news, he couldn't
00:20:41believe how this could happen here in Thailand. There was a shooting a
00:20:45school in February, so the second this year, he said this is the
00:20:48reason why he has... tightened the gun registration laws
00:20:52and he said he wants to make them even tighter. the education
00:20:55secretary called for increase security and all schools across
00:20:59Thailand. he said there needs to be uh security guards on the
00:21:03doors checking people as they go in, and the school here has cancelled all
00:21:07lessons, has shut the school down for the next five
00:21:14puples have been gathering, looking visibly shocked talking about the day's
00:21:17events. rounding up some. the other main stories
00:21:21this hour: in the U.S. Donald Trump has called
00:21:23an appeals court ruling that his block construction of his $400 million dollar
00:21:27white house ball room a national disgrace. The court is ruled the president
00:21:31can't proceed with the project without getting approval from congress. Trump says
00:21:35he'll be appealing to the Supreme Court. Thousands of
00:21:38demonstrations in Pakistan have been holding rallies against fuel taxes. The
00:21:42government implemented aggressive price hikes in July, critics say the measure
00:21:46harms poorer citizens and protest.
00:21:50Buenosires against new property bill backed by Argentina's president Javier
00:21:53Miley. The bill aims to change how rural land can be used. It will
00:21:57also introduce new limits on
00:21:59the government's ability to seize private
00:22:01property. Almost five years ago Bosnia
00:22:05Herzegovina criminalized genocidal denial and the glorification of convicted
00:22:08war criminals. Groups representing the victims the Ukaslav wars
00:22:12the 1990s say thousands of complaints are still
00:22:15unresolved, but there's a new digital platform that's hoping it can
00:22:19press the.
00:22:25public display celebrating convicted war criminals and social media
00:22:29post denying the genocide will now be
00:22:32recorded by new initiative in Bosnia and
00:22:35Herzegovina. Such acts can constitute criminal offenses under the
00:22:39country's criminal code. A new platform, register
00:22:42145A is documenting complaints and
00:22:46allowing citizens to submit evidence they believe violates the...
00:23:20say the problem is no longer documenting alleged offenses, but
00:23:24the pace at which cases move through the judicial
00:23:27system. they argue lengthy delays, risk
00:23:30underminding confidence in the judicial system, and
00:23:34discourage victims from reporting future
00:23:36cases.
00:23:39it is clear that the courts of Bosnia and Herzegovina still do not
00:23:43understand their role and responsibility when it comes to persecuting
00:23:46those committed war crimes as well as those who denied.
00:23:50genocide or glorify convicted war criminals, someone must be
00:23:54held accountable and the judiciary must begin doing its job,
00:23:57ultimately, the only solution is comprehensive reform of
00:24:01Bosnia and Herzegovina's judicial system, which has become deeply
00:24:05problematic. For campaigners, the challenge
