00:00:09United in their defense, Turkia, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan
00:00:13sign new collective security
00:00:22ahead this hour, Iran's foreign minister says his country is
00:00:26very close to reaching an accord with a man a new shipping breath through the straight
00:00:29of of horm.
00:00:30of Russian strikes killed three
00:00:34people, including a child around the capital. Kiev, as president Zelensky
00:00:38meets his Serbian counterpart on his first official visit to
00:00:41Belgrade. And Colombia's new
00:00:45of right-wing president is sworn in and immediately banked with a $1 billion dollar security
00:00:49pledge from the
00:00:53of US.
00:00:58of
00:01:08new deal between Turkia, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan has committed them
00:01:12each other's defense, as fall out from the war on Iran prompts new
00:01:15concerns around the region. The
00:01:18of agreement's been signed in
00:01:19of Mecca and we'll see closer military cooperation, and it includes a
00:01:22NATO style collective
00:01:24of defense clause. That means an attack on one will be considered attack on
00:01:28all. Turkish president regip. Berdin said the agreement
00:01:31reaffirms the right to self-defense, as defined in the UN
00:01:35charter. He explained it's not directed against any one
00:01:38country and is open to participation of all brotherly
00:01:42nations seeking to promote
00:01:43of peace, prosperity and stability in the region. He said that Turkey will
00:01:47resolutely maintain its principal stance on resolving conflicts and
00:01:51crises through dialogue and diplomacy based on respect for
00:01:54international law. On correspondent Asliad Bash has
00:01:57more. When
00:02:01President Recep Tayp Erdoğan arrived in Jidda on Friday,
00:02:04expectations were high that the
00:02:06of trilateral summit with Saudi Cram Prince Muhammad bin
00:02:10of Salman and Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbas Sharif would deliver
00:02:14of major breakthrough. Those expectations
00:02:18were quickly met. The three leaders signed what they called the
00:02:21Mecca joint defense agreement, a landmark pact aimed at
00:02:25deepening military cooperation and strengthening collective security
00:02:29of between their... countries: the agreement is built on the three
00:02:33countries,
00:02:34de longstanding historical ties, islamic solidarity and shared
00:02:38strategic interests. its most significant provision is a
00:02:42collective
00:02:43in defense commitment, stating that an armed attack against any one
00:02:47of of the three nations will be regarded as an attack against them all.
00:02:51it also pledges to deepen defense cooperation across all sectors
00:02:54while strengthening collective deterrance with leaders saying the
00:02:58partnership is aimed at promoting
00:03:00of regional peace, stability and security. The summit
00:03:04of comes as all three
00:03:05of countries seek to expand strategic cooperation, emit growing
00:03:09regional uncertainty. Turkey has
00:03:11of been
00:03:12a actively involved in diplomatic efforts over Gaza, while Pakistan
00:03:16has played a role in mediation between the US and Iran in
00:03:19recent tensions. Saudi Arabia meanwhile
00:03:23a continues to position itself as key regional diplomatic
00:03:26actor. The new trilateral framework also builds on.
00:03:30growing defense ts between Islamabad following their
00:03:34strategic mutual defense agreement signed last
00:03:37year. The situation is
00:03:39of so fragile, therefore the Pakistan, Saudi
00:03:43Arabia and the Turkia uh
00:03:47just came together just to keep the
00:03:50statico in the region
00:03:52of at least in my opinion and they just signed
00:03:56this
00:03:57in agreement a in Mecca. Mekka is the holiest site. in
00:04:00Islam and this also added have
00:04:03to pact based on military
00:04:07basis. Officials say the agreement marks a
00:04:11significant step in institutionalizing security cooperation
00:04:15between the three regional powers with the new framework expected
00:04:19to pave the way for closer
00:04:20of military coordination and expanded defense collaboration in the
00:04:24years
00:04:30foreign
00:04:30of minister says that Tehran and a man are very close to deal a new shipping
00:04:34route through the straight of hormos with technical and legal issues largely
00:04:38resolved. Abasa ragchi says that reopening the waterway would still be
00:04:41conditional on compensation for what Terran calls US violations
00:04:45of the memorandum of understanding. Our correspondent reahami has more from
00:04:49of Teran. It's been two or three days that we are
00:04:53waiting for that much anticipated joint statements by
00:04:57Iran and Oman confirming that the two countries have.
00:05:00designated roots and corridors and geographic
00:05:04coordinates of roots within the straight of arms. the
00:05:08latest that we have heard from Iranian officials has been on Friday when
00:05:11a senior law maker Hasan Qashqawi again
00:05:15confirmed that general a general framework
00:05:18has been determined, he also said that we are
00:05:22waiting for finalization of
00:05:25details, final text as well as a joint
00:05:28statement which he said would come soon, however the
00:05:32senior Iranian maker said that an approval
00:05:36is still needed at the higher levels without
00:05:39specifying that which level he's is pointing
00:05:43exactly, but Iranian, Iranians have said that
00:05:47even if this deal is signed, it doesn't mean that the straight of
00:05:50hormos will reopen automatically. Iran says that other
00:05:54conditions have to be met as well, most importantly the United
00:05:58States should lift its naval blockade, also the United States
00:06:02should stop military threats against Iran, if this blockade is
00:06:06prolonged, we know that the Iranian economy has been under years and
00:06:10decades of sanctions, and we are seeing more sanctions
00:06:14being imposed and this naval blockade is adding
00:06:18additional pressure because this blockade and coastline
00:06:22is meant to show cause one's imports and exports
00:06:25and according to extentcom up to now in the
00:06:29latest round the reimposition the blockade at least
00:06:3349 Iranian vessels have been redirected, two
00:06:36them have been boarded by US forces and two have been
00:06:40disabled so we have potential looking at dozens of Iranian
00:06:44vessels being turned away, um, and as I said, this
00:06:48is impacting Iranian imports and exports, in daily life, it
00:06:52means more inflation, especially if it is for long, it means more devaluation
00:06:55the currency. our north america correspondent
00:06:59John Brain joins us live now from Washington, what a reaction are
00:07:03we getting from the White House, as President Trump had anything to
00:07:07say?
00:07:12Uh, not so far, there's been no reaction at all from uh the White
00:07:16House to this latest development in terms the arrangement
00:07:20between Iran and Oman, but you can be
00:07:23absolutely sure that the Americans will reject it, because it
00:07:27appears, if we we believe what we've been seeing, it
00:07:30appears to give Iran far too much control over the straight and
00:07:34the ability to levy fees on shipping passing through, and to
00:07:38prevent any US or Israeli linked ships going. through the
00:07:42straight, so of course that's not going to be acceptable to the
00:07:46Americans, but as I say, no comments directly
00:07:50on this so far, uh, Trump does want some sort
00:07:53of deal, he says that he is personally negotiating with the
00:07:57Iranians uh, which I think some people find that hard to believe, and as
00:08:01we know the Iranians deny any negotiations are taking
00:08:05place with the Americans at the moment,
00:08:09uh, but Trump clearly wants to get out of this. conflict,
00:08:12there are reports circulating in the last 24 hours or so
00:08:16that - the chairman the joint chiefs of staff Dan
00:08:19kane is also um pretty keen on an off-ramp and
00:08:23has been advising Trump that air power alone will not have the
00:08:27desired effect and could be counterproductive and has been
00:08:31advising him that missile stock piles are running
00:08:35low and of course that's something that Trump has been angrily denying
00:08:39over the past couple of days uh so no real
00:08:43progress from the American side at the moment, but uh, as
00:08:46I say, there doesn't seem to be any clear way out of this,
00:08:50just now. Yeah, if you look at this from Iran's perspective, no doubt they're going
00:08:54to, if the deal is done for the straight of moves, they're going to say that
00:08:58this is a big victory for us, especially when they're claiming they want reparations from the
00:09:01United States for what they called violations the memorandum
00:09:05of understanding, I mean the optics I said it again, not good for the US,
00:09:09how do they get out of this?
00:09:16No, not not good. I mean in terms of Iran's demands, the US
00:09:20will just simply reject them, how
00:09:22they get
00:09:22out of this whole
00:09:23war is a another issue entirely, but of course
00:09:27one,
00:09:28the the US does have some leverage, we were hearing from Reza just now about
00:09:32the effects the naval blockade and how that's harming the
00:09:36Iranian economy, and one option for the Americans would be
00:09:40to not necessarily carry out. any more attacks, but just keep
00:09:44that blockade in place, to keep sanctions in place
00:09:48- to keep the frozen assets as they are, so there
00:09:52is pressure the Americans can bring to bear, it just
00:09:56seem or feels that military uh pressure is not
00:09:59a productive option for them at the
00:10:13Almost 10 months have passed since the ceasefire was declared in Gaza, but
00:10:16humanitarian conditions there are still dire. There have been nearly 60,000 cases
00:10:20of chickenp. Thousands of cancer patients are unable to get
00:10:24the required. treatment, earlier I discussed this with TRT Worls Shanan who's
00:10:28in Gaza City. Extremely difficult
00:10:31conditions, especially for cancer patients and other other patients in
00:10:35Gaza as well. I mean, the the Gaza Human Rights Center
00:10:38says that around four people died daily because of of
00:10:42cancer complications and mid the lack of special chemicals
00:10:46and and equipment
00:10:48needed to
00:10:51treat the the cancer patients. and
00:10:55also uh the same time there is also
00:10:59huge shortage of of medicines and surgical supplies and medical
00:11:02equipment at mid the spread
00:11:05the rapid spread of of chicken box in the gaza strip some
00:11:0860,00 cases nearly half them and conunis
00:11:12in southern gaza especially in the mawasi the biggest humanitarian
00:11:16zone in the gaza strip that was
00:11:18created uh during the first
00:11:22months the war doctors say the reason
00:11:25for the the the wide spread of chicken box is
00:11:29the overcrowdedness and intents and makeshift
00:11:32encampments as well as under uh people living
00:11:36under uh partially standing buildings under
00:11:40amid extremely unhygienic
00:11:44conditions with with the spread of insects and
00:11:48and rodents all over the gaz strip the situation is extremely
00:11:52difficult all living conditions are really hard in gaz.
00:11:55for more than two million people in Gaza, as after more than
00:11:5910 months of war, they still wait, they're still waiting for real
00:12:03relief. Ashraf, we've been reporting in the past hour about
00:12:07how war in Sudan is creating at what's considered to be lost generation there
00:12:11through the lack of schooling among other things, what is life like for children there in
00:12:15Gaza?
00:12:19situation here is not much better uh, I
00:12:23mean Sudan had... famin several times, Gaza
00:12:26suffered famin back in August
00:12:29of of last year, thousands of
00:12:33children lost their lost their their fathers
00:12:37during the war, many them forced to
00:12:40uh you know to take the to assume the role of of of bread
00:12:44winners and uh very heartbreaking when
00:12:48you look at the child, for example age of my child or my
00:12:51grandchild you know trying to uh earn the living. and we have more
00:12:55in the following report.
00:12:59after more than nine months of seas fire, which exists and name only
00:13:03many families in Gaza remain displaced and without a stable source
00:13:07of income. according to UNICEF, more than 56 thousand
00:13:11children have lost one of both parents or primary
00:13:14caregivers during Israel's war on the enclave,
00:13:18while hundreds of thousands continue to face severe disruptions to
00:13:22their education and daily lives for. many these families,
00:13:26the death of father has meant the loss the households only
00:13:30bread winner, forcing children to shoulder responsibilities
00:13:34far beyond their years. one them is 13 year
00:13:38old Karim abukr, instead of carrying school books
00:13:42Kariem sells chilled water in his camp using a small solar
00:13:46powered cooler, he turns simple idea into a
00:13:49way to support his family. my father was killed during the
00:13:53war so had to have my...
00:13:58children
00:14:04I have to leave school because I no longer have time to study, are
00:14:08other still in school, but I was forced to give up my education
00:14:11to help my family. Israel restrictions on humanitarian aid have also
00:14:15left families with increasingly limited
00:14:18options. I a mother of four
00:14:22children and since my husband's death, "We have had no
00:14:25source of income. Karim, my elder son, has taken on
00:14:29the responsibility of supporting his younger siblings. For thousands
00:14:33of children in Gaza, the seasfire has not brought an end to
00:14:36hardship. Nine months on, families are still facing
00:14:39displacement, poverty and the pain of losing loved
00:14:43ones. 10-year old Muhammad Abdul Salam
00:14:47now spends his days working a traditional clay oven
00:14:50instead of attending school, across Gaza's displacement
00:14:54camps. the same scenes unfold every
00:14:57day. we have no source of income
00:15:01and no money to rely on, so i had to send my son to work at the
00:15:05clay oven here in the camp. even if he earns $2 a
00:15:09day, it helps us buy vegetables and basic food. i am
00:15:12responsible for six family members and muhammad, my eldest son, is
00:15:16the one helping provide for our family. with more than
00:15:20637, children out of formal
00:15:23education, are losing not only their classrooms,
00:15:27but the chance to experience normal
00:15:36has again raised the... alarm
00:15:38over the impact of Sedan's war on children warning the country risk losing an
00:15:41entire generation to the conflict. According to the UN at least
00:15:458 million school age children are currently away from classrooms. Since
00:15:492024, the UN has documented more than 150 schools being used
00:15:53for military purposes, at least 67 have been
00:15:56attacked. Crisis especially severe in Darfour, where
00:16:00nearly three quarters of schools have been destroyed or rendered unusable
00:16:04since the war began. The region includes Al-Fasha, one the main centers
00:16:07the conflict, after more than 1,200 days of war, nearly half of
00:16:11Sudan's teachers have gone without salaries, but despite that many continue to
00:16:15teach under extremely difficult
00:16:17conditions,
00:16:20predominantly as they more than any
00:16:24other group that are most likely to actually
00:16:27attack villages and civilian populations either in
00:16:31revenge or as means to
00:16:34determine equation in which they want. have an upper hand for the
00:16:38moment, this is effectively national army that
00:16:42split nearly 50/50, except with one
00:16:45group that has got a tendency almost of being
00:16:49an equivalent of a terror group in their own nation
00:16:53state, but backed by powerful
00:16:57wealthy nation in United Arab Emirates
00:16:59and backed by huge amount of money,
00:17:03sufficiently well trained and well equipped determined guys.
00:17:07were almost driven by sort of like material gain and
00:17:11power, not necessarily ideology, but with
00:17:14impunity, and it makes it extremely
00:17:18growsome. remember, this is not a conflict that you
00:17:21could confine to only four years. prior to the
00:17:25four years, there was a more than a generation of conflicts in
00:17:28Darfu, part of which was basically effective war of
00:17:32genocide, and I know young teachers on the
00:17:36continent in non direct conflict
00:17:39situations who go without pay, but they wake up and continue to go, so credit to
00:17:43teachers, but in the Sudanese aspect, there is no alternative, part
00:17:47the other is an element of hope that you just have to keep
00:17:50going. Russian overnight strikes on
00:17:54Ukraine's Kiev region have killed three people, including a child, three other
00:17:58people were injured when multiple locations just outside the capital were
00:18:02hit. This is President Zelenski's in Belgrade, he's on his first official visit
00:18:06to Serbia, one the few. European countries to have maintained friendly relations with
00:18:15three lives last night, two grandparents and a three-year-old grandson
00:18:18as well, were hit by drones a part of the region of Kiev,
00:18:22just outside the city itself. It is not unusual to see these sorts of attacks.
00:18:26Indeed, over the last four and a half years we've seen thousands of
00:18:30people losing their lives in precisely that sort of incident. What has changed
00:18:33recently is that Ukraine has run out of interceptors that can stop.
00:18:37ballistic missiles, those are the uh projectiles that are now
00:18:41striking cities across the country, particularly the capital city over the
00:18:45last couple of weeks every three or four days, they are large
00:18:49nature and increasingly large in number as well. Russia of course
00:18:53maintains that
00:18:53it is trying to hit logistics centers, supply lines, things that are affiliated to the
00:18:57Ukrainian military effort, but of course given the size and nature of those
00:19:01projectiles, they are claiming civilian lives as well. On Tuesday
00:19:05for instance we saw huge attack. that involved uh 20
00:19:09or so ballistic missiles in and around the capital
00:19:12city, eight people were hit a railway station
00:19:16near one the warehouses that Russia said it was targeting, they lost their
00:19:20lives part of at least 17 people that were killed in uh that
00:19:24particular incident. Vlodimir is in Serbia today, he is
00:19:28trying to boost economic ties and diplomatic relations with what has been
00:19:31a difficult country for Ukraine,
00:19:35but it the country of course is a... looking at the broader
00:19:39issue of trying to supply these interceptors that
00:19:41it is run out of, it is talking to its European partners, it is talking to the United
00:19:45States as well, which is key supplier, in fact the only real
00:19:48supplier of us patriot systems which are currently the most effective way of
00:19:52stopping the ballistic missiles, but what we have heard over the last few days as well is that there
00:19:56may be an alternative too. we've been talking to leading drone
00:20:00manufacturers, including some of those that are making these long-range drones that are
00:20:04now hitting Russian supply lines, Russian... warehouses as
00:20:08well, they have told us exclusively that were Elon
00:20:11Musk to allow them to use his starlink
00:20:15satellite system over Russian territory,
00:20:19they could stop these ballistic launches at their
00:20:22source. High up in the skies
00:20:26above Ukraine, with not a person in sight, there is a battle being
00:20:30waged. It is new stage of Kiev's conflict with
00:20:34Russia, one that is pushing the frontiers of technology,
00:20:37and the economics of warfare, yet the implications of this
00:20:41fight for air superiority are on the
00:20:44ground. few weapons
00:20:48have played as big role in Russia's
00:21:20AV developed by Ukrainian defense firm Wild Hornets. The
00:21:24company says sting has down thousands of Russian Shaheads
00:21:28since entering regular service last year. This isn't just
00:21:31about technology, it is about altering the economics of warfare.
00:21:35These things are smaller, they are cheaper, they are more
00:21:38scalable. They can't stop ballistic missiles, but Ukraine believes
00:21:42this is how it alters the balance of power against drones in its
00:21:46skies. But systems like these cannot stop the ballistic missile. that have
00:21:50killed dozens across Ukraine over the last week. President Vladimir
00:21:54Zelinsky has said that without new interceptors, specifically US
00:21:58patriots, it is unable to stop them. yet in exclusive
00:22:02comments to TRT World, Ukrainian drone maker FirePoint
00:22:05claims it may have another answer, involving its long-range
00:22:09attack drone, the FP1. We need a
00:22:12Starling connectivity over Russia. If we had this, we
00:22:16could destroy all the launchers for ballistic missiles. You ask. that if
00:22:20Elon Musk gave you permission to use Starlink over Russian
00:22:24territory, that you could stop all ballistic missiles from
00:22:28coming in to Ukraine, yes we already have all the instruments for this, I
00:22:31think in any way we need to also provide anti-ballistic
00:22:35capabilities, but if we're talking about plug and play solution,
00:22:39yes this is the most crucial change that could happen in the
00:22:42moment. If the claim is correct, it would shift the
00:22:46equation of Ukraine's ballistic defense from one of scarce inter'.
00:22:50towards one of offensive reach and
00:22:53political commission. Selinskiy is currently in negotiations over patriot
00:22:57interceptors with the US, and has also asked President Donald
00:23:01Trump about using Starlink over Russian
00:23:03territory. The battle in Ukraine's skies may be
00:23:07determining the next stage in this war, yet it is discussions in the
00:23:11political halls of power that could yet decide its
00:23:20a $1 billion dollar security package for the new Colombian government of
00:23:23Abalada la spria. The announcement was made only hours after he was sworn
00:23:27into office. The 48-year-old lawyer is a political novice from the far
00:23:31right, he's talked of withdrawing from the UN and human rights bodies. His
00:23:35administration has been welcome though into the shield the Americas. That's a Trump-led

00:24:01In Kenya, silent health crisis is getting worse, about four
00:24:05million people are living with chronic kidney disease with the number expected to
00:24:09rise in coming years, and for patients in rural areas who need regular
00:24:12dialysis, long distances and limited facilities can make accessing
00:24:16treatment of major challenge. Isadin Haji reports from now.
00:24:22for patients at Wiya County Referal Hospital, getting
00:24:26access to life saving care can be a challenge. It's the only
00:24:29dialysis unit in the area so the staff here are also
00:24:33under pressure. Actually, our dialysis unit its own is not
00:24:37able to um service all the patients in
00:24:41Wadia who require dialysis uh buse of course you have
00:24:45patients requiring dialysis more than once a week and uh the
00:24:49number of machines that have and the number of stuff, it's quite overwhelming,
00:24:52honestly. 55 year old Sahara Hassan
00:24:56is among 4 million Kenyans who struggle to access
00:25:00dialysis. She has to travel more than 10
00:25:03kilometers on rough d roads twice a week to the
00:25:07nearest facility. She can barely manage the journey
00:25:10to and from the treatment
00:25:12center. We would have love
00:25:16to have a dialysis unit in our town. The people need dialysis.
00:25:28We travel a long way to and from the center, it's
00:25:31challenging with kidney disease cases projected to hit
00:25:35nearly 5 million by 2030. don't patients coming
00:25:39to hospitals like this are burdened with the rising cost of
00:25:43dialysis with many also struggling to access the
00:25:47equipment they need and initiative in Moranga
00:25:51County called Reinald Roads aims to bring treatment closer to people
00:25:55using specialized mobile trucks. The
00:25:58country needs to come up with innovative ways of
00:26:02reaching to these who are far to reach
00:26:06patients and that's where we've come up with the
00:26:08innovative mobile dialysis truck,
00:26:12especially in Moranga County to reach to those people who are deep in the
00:26:16village and who may not be able to access
00:26:19hemodialysis. for Sahara and hundreds of
00:26:23others living outside major towns, the
00:26:26hope is for treatment closer to home or
