00:00:15United a of in their defense, Turkia, Saudi Arabia and
00:00:18Pakistan signed new collective security
00:00:29see what else is coming up. sour: Iran and a man close in a
00:00:32of deal to reopen the straight of horamus. Washington says it will lift
00:00:36its blockade of Iran's ports when that
00:00:38happens. Russian strikes kill three
00:00:42people, including a child around the capital Kiev, as president Zelensky
00:00:46meets his
00:00:47of Serbian counterpart on his first official visit to
00:00:49Belgrade. And Colombia's new right-wing
00:00:53president is sworn in and immediately backed with a $1 billion dollar
00:00:57security pledge from the United States.
00:01:04of
00:01:15A new deal between Turkia, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan has
00:01:18committed them each other's defense, as fallout from the war on Iran
00:01:22prompts new concerns around the region. This agreement has been
00:01:26signed in Mecca, it will see closer military cooperation.
00:01:30and include a NATO style collective defense clause, which means an attack on
00:01:34one will be considered attack on all. Turkish president, Regie
00:01:38Beduan said the agreement reaffirms the right to self-defense, as
00:01:41defined in the UN charter. It is not directed, he says against
00:01:45any particular country and is open to participation of all brotherly
00:01:49nations seeking to promote peace, prosperity and stability in the
00:01:53region. He says Turkey will resolutely maintain its principal
00:01:57stance on resolving conflicts and crises through.
00:02:00diplomacy based on respect for international law. our
00:02:04correspondent as
00:02:07of more. when
00:02:11were president,
00:02:13of high expectations that the trilateral summit with saudi crime prince muhammad
00:02:17bin salman and pakistani prime
00:02:21of ministerif would deliver
00:02:22of major breakthrough. those expectations
00:02:26were quickly
00:02:27of met. the three leaders signed what they called the... a joint defense
00:02:31agreement, a landmark pact aimed at deepening military
00:02:34cooperation and strengthening collective security between their
00:02:38countries. the agreement is built on the three countries,
00:02:42longstanding historical
00:02:44in ties,
00:02:44of islamic solidarity and
00:02:46of shared strategic interests. its most significant provision
00:02:50is a collective defense commitment, stating that an armed attack
00:02:54against any one
00:02:55of of the three nations will be regarded as an attack against them
00:02:58all. it also is to deepen defense cooperation across all
00:03:02sectors while strengthening collective deterrance with leaders
00:03:06saying the partnership is aimed at promoting regional peace,
00:03:09stability and security. the summit comes as all
00:03:13three countries seek to expand strategic cooperation emit growing
00:03:16regional uncertainty. Turkey has been actively
00:03:20involved in diplomatic efforts over Gaza, while Pakistan has
00:03:24played a role in mediation between the US and Iran in recent
00:03:28tensions. Saudi Arabia. meanwhile continues to position
00:03:32itself as key regional diplomatic actor. the new
00:03:36trilateral framework also builds on growing defense ties between riad
00:03:40and
00:03:40of Islamabad de following their strategic mutual defense agreement
00:03:44signed last year. the situation is so
00:03:47fragile, therefore the Pakistan, Saudi
00:03:52of Arabia and the Turkey just came
00:03:56a together just to keep the statico in... the region at
00:04:00least in my opinion and they just signed this
00:04:04agreement in Mecca, Mecca is the holiest side in
00:04:08Islam, and this also added have
00:04:12to pact based on military
00:04:15basis. Officials say the agreement marks a
00:04:19of significant step in institutionalizing security cooperation
00:04:23between the three regional powers with the new framework
00:04:27of expected to pave
00:04:28of of the way for closer military coordination. and expanded defense
00:04:31collaboration in the years
00:04:39Riad has mainly relied on the United States for its security, so the
00:04:42reaction from Washington will be interesting, but as our correspondent Greg
00:04:46Boswell explains as of yet, there hasn't been a
00:04:48reaction. No public reaction from the White
00:04:52House. The US president Donald Trump departed Washington DC early
00:04:56Friday evening without coming to cameras, but
00:04:59you can kind of put this... new security
00:05:01of pact in kind of that category, I think you mentioned the more
00:05:04fallout
00:05:05of from this US-Israeli war on Iran as US partners in the
00:05:09region now seek new security arrangement, it can also... kind of
00:05:12point to questions that this leads to about the
00:05:16durability of US security guarantees, also questions
00:05:20about uh Israel's expanding military operations,
00:05:23and uh, it might be even more about reassessing their
00:05:27security arrangements then it is about a formal military alliance, but
00:05:31that of course remains to be seen as this is all very new, and kind
00:05:35of comes back to what we talked about lot in late
00:05:38february, around in march just after the US and israel
00:05:42launched this war about did the US consider the
00:05:46impacts of launching those attacks and launching a war on Iran, did it
00:05:50consider the impacts to its US allies in the region, and it
00:05:54appears that the answer is likely didn't consider
00:05:58it enough, and now this is kind the response to that, and
00:06:02um, so in in practice, in theory rather, this would be kind
00:06:06of like the NATO article 5 where if attack on one would be
00:06:09attack on on all, so in theory will you... in practice, we'll have
00:06:13to see if it plays out that way. By
00:06:15the way, article 5ive the NATO pac has only been invoked just one
00:06:19time, and that was after 911. from occupied east
00:06:23Jerusalem, our correspondent Muhammad al-Kassim explains how the pact might
00:06:27impact Israel. This worries Israel that
00:06:31wanted to create its own, its own
00:06:34so-called NATO, that want that would make it not only
00:06:38member in it, but also heavily involved that. is
00:06:42not going to happen, it upends its ambitions,
00:06:46its strategic plans to be involved in
00:06:50the middle east as
00:06:52logical member of this region, it's been
00:06:56trying over the past many years, but since
00:07:002018 to include more and
00:07:03more arab and muslim nations into the so-called
00:07:07abrahamic accords, and this this is a
00:07:11blow to this... to these ambitions, it brings about three
00:07:15major countries, muslim countries
00:07:18together, consolidating this these
00:07:22powers of all kind of powers, whether financial,
00:07:25military, you have a one of those three countries that
00:07:29is that has nuclear weapons
00:07:33and other one that has been advancing
00:07:37rapidly with industrial
00:07:40military weaponary making. also uh the money
00:07:43making behind it, and even though there is
00:07:47no public statement that this is an alliance, a sunni
00:07:51alliance that is targeted against anyone in particular, but having
00:07:55those three major major sunni majority
00:07:58countries, three majority country, muslim majority
00:08:02countries involved together in such a
00:08:06pact extremely weiries Israel, again it up ends
00:08:10its plans to be involved in the... region on so many different
00:08:14levels and definitely is going to slow the process of
00:08:17bringing in more and more countries into the so-called abrahamic
00:08:21accords. Akbar Ahmed is a
00:08:25former Pakistani diplomat to explained to us how the defense deal
00:08:28between Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan could affect the
00:08:32region. When you look at what's happened, it is a
00:08:36historic moment. Muslim
00:08:39commentators, press are already talking about.
00:08:43a possible emergence of a Muslim NATO, so
00:08:47this this agreement has tremendous potential, they've
00:08:51got span, that means from Turkey to
00:08:54Pakistan, you see huge chunk of Europe and Asia
00:08:58now being covered, you got population, now they can claim to be
00:09:02nuclear, the only second nuclear power in that region apart from
00:09:06Israel, so very significant, at the same time there are
00:09:10serious problems around and within. these nations
00:09:13there is the problem of inequality of development of
00:09:16education, but this gives impitus and
00:09:20new lease of life to all three countries, and all three
00:09:24countries are one characteristic which I want to point out, all three have
00:09:28good favorable relations, a good rapo with the
00:09:31president the united states which always matters in international
00:09:35politics. if you go back to
00:09:38professor, one the leading, probably the leading political science.
00:09:42of America, he talks in terms of great power
00:09:46rivalry, he talks in terms of four hegemonds, the
00:09:50United States, Russia and China and India, possibly
00:09:53emerging hedgebond who dominate the world politics and
00:09:57in that context, you see what is happening in the straight of almos
00:10:01over the last few months, there was chaos, there was confusion,
00:10:04there was a lack of leadership and no one seemed to know what was happening and
00:10:08how to resolve the problem, that's why you need
00:10:13some international organization which would attract
00:10:17both parties in in conflict and try to resolve issues and that is
00:10:21why possibly i'm just conjecturing this particular
00:10:25move may develop into a group, because already you have
00:10:29Egypt wanting to join, you have Malaysia very keen to join, so
00:10:32these countries do join up and you have half billion people,
00:10:36overnight the Muslim world has hegemmon, and if there
00:10:40is hegemmon in the Muslim world, you suddenly have a force that
00:10:44could act as a counterbalance to the other existing
00:10:47edgemons. Iran has confirmed it's
00:10:51agreed to the principles of deal with a man regarding freedom of.
00:10:55navigation in the straight of horams, the future the waterway was the main reason for the
00:10:59recent flare up of titvitat strikes between the US and Iran.
00:11:03correspondent me reports from term. it's been two
00:11:07or three days that we are waiting for that much
00:11:09anticipated joint statements by Iran and oman
00:11:13confirming that the two countries have designated routes
00:11:17and corridors and geographic coordinates of
00:11:21roots within the straight of arms. the latest that we have heard from
00:11:25in officials has been on Friday when a senior law maker
00:11:29Hasan Qashqawi again confirmed that general general
00:11:33framework has been determined, he also
00:11:36said that we are waiting for finalization
00:11:40of details, final text as well as a joint
00:11:44statement which he said would come soon, however the
00:11:48senior Iranian maker said that an
00:11:51approval is still needed at the higher levels without
00:11:55specify that which level he is pointing
00:11:58exactly, but Iranian, Iranians have said that
00:12:02even if this deal is signed, it doesn't mean that the street of
00:12:06hormos will reopen automatically. Iran says that other
00:12:10conditions have to be met as well, most importantly the United
00:12:14States should lift its naval blockade, also the United
00:12:17States should stop military threats against the one. If this blockade
00:12:21is prolonged, we know that the Iranian economy has been... under years
00:12:25and decades of sanctions and we are seeing more
00:12:29sanctions being imposed and this naval blockade is
00:12:33adding additional pressure because this blockade and
00:12:36coastline is meant to show cause Iran's imports
00:12:40and exports and according to extentcom up to now in
00:12:44the latest round the reimposition the blockade at least
00:12:4849 Iranian vessels have been redirected, two
00:12:52them have been boarded by us forces. and two have been
00:12:55disabled, so we are potentially looking at dozens of Iranian
00:12:59vessels being turned away, um, and as I said, this
00:13:03is impacting Iranian imports and exports in daily life, it means
00:13:07more inflation, especially if it is for long, it means more devaluation the
00:13:11currency. the UN security council has
00:13:15expressed concern over escalation of fighting in Yemen, calling
00:13:19on all parties to avoid actions that could threaten peace. on Friday, a
00:13:23hoothy missile and drone attack on displacement camp in the government held
00:13:27city of Marib killed at least two civilians, the day before that,
00:13:31Huthy missiles and drone strikes killed around 60
00:13:34government troops. In separate attack, 11 people were injured inside
00:13:38Saudi Arabia. The Houties who control large parts of Yemen, including the
00:13:42Capital Sana, say the soudy led coalition they've been fighting for the past
00:13:4611 years is preparing to launch a military
00:13:48offensive.
00:13:55Israel's national security minister Itamar Ben Givier has renewed an order
00:13:59restricting family visits to Palestinian prisoners in Israeli
00:14:03jails, the Palestinian prisoner society says that the order could
00:14:06further isolate detained knees and allow violations against
00:14:10prisoners to continue without external oversight. The group says the policy
00:14:14amounts to a systematic effort to cut prisoners off from their families
00:14:18and the outside world. It also allegges detaines face conditions
00:14:21including torture, starvation and other forms of. treatment.
00:14:25In June, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled the continued denial of prison
00:14:29visits by the Red Cross is
00:14:31unlawful. At least 300 children have
00:14:35reportedly been killed in Gaza in the 300 days since a
00:14:39ceasefire was announced late last year. UNICEF says that that amounts to
00:14:42average of one child killed every day. While childhood is meant to be a
00:14:46time for play and learning. Many children in Gaza are instead taking
00:14:50adult responsibilities working to support their families after they've lost their
00:14:54fathers. From Gaza, our correspondent Ashraf Shanum
00:14:57reports. After more than
00:15:01nine months of sease fire which exists and name, only many
00:15:04families in Gaza remain displaced and without a stable
00:15:08source of income. According to UNICEF, more than 56,00
00:15:12children have lost one of both parents or primary
00:15:15caregivers during Israel's war on the enclave. While
00:15:19hundreds of thousands continue to face severe disruptions to their
00:15:23education and daily. For many these families,
00:15:27the death of father has meant the loss the households only
00:15:31bread winner, forcing children to should their responsibilities
00:15:35far beyond their years. One them is 13 year
00:15:39old Karim Abufr. Instead of carrying school books,
00:15:42Karim sells chilled water in his camp, using a small solar
00:15:46powered cooler. He turns simple idea into a
00:15:50way to support his family. My father was killed during the
00:15:54war so I had to help my family, my grandparents and everyone who depends
00:15:58on me. I'm the only one supporting them. I collect food from
00:16:02the community kitchen and provide for my family. I had to leave school
00:16:06because I no longer. have time to study, other children are still in
00:16:10school, but i was forced to give up my education to help my family.
00:16:14is restrictions on humanitarian aid have also left families with
00:16:17increasingly limited
00:16:19options. i a mother of four
00:16:23children, and since my husband's death, we have had no
00:16:26source of income. Karim, my elder son, has taken on
00:16:30the responsibility of supporting his younger siblings. for thousands
00:16:34of children in gaza, the seas fire has not brought an end. to
00:16:37hardship, nine months on families are still facing
00:16:40displacement, poverty and the pain of losing loved
00:16:44ones. 10-year old Muhammad Abdul Salam
00:16:47now spends his days working a traditional clay oven instead
00:16:51of attending school, across Gaza's displacement
00:16:55camps, the same scenes unfold every
00:16:58day, we have no source of income
00:17:02and no money to rely on, so I had to send my son to work at the
00:17:06Clay oven here in the...
00:17:08eldest
00:17:17and son, Muhammad, is my the one helping provide for our family. With
00:17:20more than 637 children out of formal
00:17:24education, many are losing not only their
00:17:27classrooms, but the chance to experience normal
00:17:37strikes on Ukraine's Kiev region have killed three people, including a
00:17:41child. Three other people were injured or multiple locations just outside the
00:17:45capital were also hit. This as President Zelensky
00:17:48is in Belgrade on his first official visit to Serbia, one the few
00:17:52European countries that have maintained friendly relations with Russia. Let's
00:17:56bring in our correspondent Joel Flynn, he is in Kieve. Welcome to you, Joel,
00:18:00when when we talk about Ukraine's attacks on Russia, it's increasingly clear
00:18:04they're targeting energy infrastructure all refineries when Russia. is attacking
00:18:08Ukraine and around the Kief region, do we know what is it
00:18:10targeting?
00:18:14yeah, well the the attacks that claimed three lives last night, two grandparents and a
00:18:18three-year-old grandson as well, were hit by drones - a part
00:18:22the the region of Kiv, just outside the city itself. It is not
00:18:25unusual to see these sorts of attacks, indeed, over the last four and a half years
00:18:29we've seen thousands of people losing their lives in precisely that sort of
00:18:33incident. What has changed recently is that Ukraine has run out of inter
00:18:37is that can stop ballistic missiles, those are the uh
00:18:41projectiles that are now striking cities across the country,
00:18:44particularly the capital city over the last couple of weeks every three or
00:18:48four days, they are large nature and increasingly large in number as
00:18:52well. Russia of course maintains that it is trying to hit logistics centers, supply
00:18:56lines, things that are affiliated to the Ukrainian military effort, but of
00:19:00course given the size and nature of those projectiles, they are claiming
00:19:04civilian lives as well. On Tuesday for instance we saw huge
00:19:08attack that involved uh 20 or so ballistic missiles in and
00:19:12around the capital city, eight people were hit
00:19:16a railway station near one the warehouses that Russia said it
00:19:20was targeting, they lost their lives part of at least 17 people that were killed
00:19:23in - that particular incident. Vlodimir Zelinski, as
00:19:27you said is in Serbia today, he is trying to boost economic ties and
00:19:31diplomatic relations with what has been a difficult
00:19:34country for Ukraine, but it's "the country of course is
00:19:38of course looking at the broader issue of trying to supply these
00:19:42interceptors that
00:19:43it is run out of, it is talking to its European partners, it is talking to the United
00:19:46States as well, which is key supplier, in fact the only real
00:19:50supplier of us patriot systems, which are currently the most effective way of
00:19:54stopping the ballistic missiles, but what we have heard over the last few days as well is that there
00:19:58may be an alternative too. we've been talking to leading drone
00:20:02manufacturers, including some of those that are making these long-range drones that are
00:20:06now hitting Russian." supply lines, Russian warehouses as
00:20:09well, they have told us exclusively that were Elon
00:20:13Musk to allow them to use his Starlink
00:20:17satellite system over Russian territory,
00:20:20they could stop these ballistic launches at their
00:20:24source.
00:20:28High up in the skies above Ukraine, with not a person in sight,
00:20:32there is a battle being waged. It is new stage of
00:20:36Kiev's conflict with Russia, one that is pushing the frontiers of
00:20:40technology and the economics of warfare. Yet the
00:20:44implications of this fight for superiority are on the
00:20:47ground. few weapons have
00:20:51played as big role in Russia's war on Ukraine as the
00:20:55Shahed. The long-range unmann Kamakazi drone has been a
00:20:58scurge the skies for most the conflict, yet Ukraine
00:21:02believes 2026 is seeing a shift in that
00:21:06fight.
00:21:14Patriots are expensive. This is more affordable than missile
00:21:18systems. He was built. It works.
00:21:22This is the sting a UAV developed by Ukrainian defense firm
00:21:25Wild Hornets. The company says sting has
00:21:29down thousands of Russian Shaheads since entering regular
00:21:32service last year. This isn't just about technology. It
00:21:36is about altering the economics of warfare. These things are
00:21:40smaller, they are cheaper, they are more scalable. They can't stop ballistic
00:21:44missiles, but Ukraine believes this is how it alters the balance
00:21:48of power against drones in. dis skies, but systems like these
00:21:52cannot stop the ballistic missiles that have killed dozens across Ukraine
00:21:56over the last week. President Vladimir Zelinski has said that without new
00:21:59interceptors, specifically US patriots, it is unable
00:22:03to stop them. yet in exclusive comments to TRT World,
00:22:07Ukrainian drone maker FirePoint claims it may have another
00:22:10answer, involving its long-range attack drone, the FP1.
00:22:14We need a starling connectivity over Russia,
00:22:18if we had this... we could destroy all the launchers for ballistic
00:22:22missiles. you are saying that if Elon Musk gave you permission to
00:22:26use Starlink over Russian territory, that you could stop all
00:22:29ballistic missiles from coming in to Ukraine, yes we already
00:22:33have all the instruments for this. I think in any way we need to
00:22:37also provide anti-ballistic capabilities, but if we're talking
00:22:41about plug and play solution, yes, this is the most crucial change that
00:22:45could happen in the moment. If
00:22:47the claim is correct, it would shift the equation. of Ukraine's ballistic
00:22:51defense from one of scarce interceptors towards one of
00:22:55offensive reach and political communition. Zelinski is
00:22:59currently in negotiations over patriot interceptors with the US
00:23:02and has also asked President Donald Trump about using Starling
00:23:06over Russian territory. The battle in Ukraine's skies
00:23:10may be determining the next stage in this war, yet it is
00:23:13discussions in the political halls of power that could yet decide
