00:01:14of of The conflict between Yemen's
00:01:18and Sarolahuthis and the Saudi backed
00:01:20of government is escalating with the Yemeny armed group launching attacks on
00:01:24government hell positions in the northern
00:01:27of Al-Jaof region. This footage released by the
00:01:30hoothies shows
00:01:31of military vehicles, it says, being destroyed, and the group
00:01:35has also accused the Saudi government of launching more than
00:01:39350 strikes on the country in the past few
00:01:46of of of days. meanwile, UN agencies
00:01:51of
00:01:52of of of of say at least 125,000 have been a displaced by the renewed conflict in Yemen, several thousands of those have fled
00:01:56across the Babel Mandab straight to
00:01:58of djibooti on the hour of... Africa, the United Nations says damage
00:02:02to roads and communications is disrupting its
00:02:06in humanitarian operations, and
00:02:11of that people there are being forced to make dangerous journeys to flee the fighting.
00:02:13Mohammed alatab has the latest from the Yemani
00:02:16Capital Center. According to the
00:02:19of Hy's of remarks during the press up by the military spokes
00:02:23person, he says that they have taken control of
00:02:26nearly 5,400 km.
00:02:31It was a big a big
00:02:32of distance and space, but
00:02:34when in this area we can talk about that, the most
00:02:37of the people on this area have have
00:02:39of fled of uh
00:02:40a the attacks and also
00:02:41a the the the flare up
00:02:43of the conflict, so also in the other areas when they
00:02:47have started
00:02:48of their offensive
00:02:49to towards
00:02:50of the moport
00:02:51of city, they have taken the route that leads
00:02:55directly to
00:02:56of the to the coastal mokaport city ' This was
00:03:01of the through the waziah, these regions
00:03:04also have also other
00:03:08areas to the west of tas have witnessed this continuation
00:03:13of
00:03:15a of the of the conflict now with the also with the houthis attempt to advance towards the west of tas
00:03:19of where the the international
00:03:20of recognized government claimed yesterday
00:03:23the the that they have recapture these areas in the in the district of
00:03:26shamitin and also the they saying that with the help
00:03:30the the
00:03:31of air forces, they have been able to to attack the hies and also
00:03:35to recapture those areas, so
00:03:38also in the other areas we are talking about people who are
00:03:42between the the frontlines, between the both sides into
00:03:46the houthies and the internationally organized governments in mareb and
00:03:49of jof and albaida, but there are no
00:03:52international international agency have
00:03:54a mentioned about the displacement in this areas,
00:03:57of mostly the they are talking about the displacement in the... in the tais and also
00:04:01through
00:04:04of a through Mocca we're at least uh
00:04:04of 2,200 people have fled to towards
00:04:09in Juboti. Reports are emerging that oil loadings have been
00:04:13of suspended at Saudi Arabia's red sea port of yanbu. It comes days
00:04:17after Riyad closed its critical
00:04:19of east to west oil pipeline following attacks by the heuties.
00:04:22Saudi
00:04:23a Arabia is the world's largest oil exporter and renewed attacks by the
00:04:27arm
00:04:28of group have
00:04:29of pushed up. global fuel
00:04:34of a prices, these reports from Saudi Arabia's crown prince
00:04:36of held talks with the Egyptian president in Cairo, Muhammad bin
00:04:40Salmon and Abdul Fatih have called for freedom of
00:04:43navigation through the Hurmus and
00:04:46of Babel
00:04:46of Strates. However, the United States, a long timeime
00:04:49all of Saudi Arabia, says it has no plans to take action against
00:04:53the hutis and with growing concerns about an expanding
00:04:56conflict.
00:04:59I don't think it's... quite that bad, what we do
00:05:01of have is a for sure skirmish between Saudi
00:05:05Arabia and Yemen, but
00:05:07it is not really gone across the region, and it's
00:05:10largely because the hoodies. and the Saudies are not getting along right
00:05:14now, but it hasn't uh spilled over to the
00:05:18rest the Gulf, and that's the good news, right now the US and the
00:05:22hoodies still have a cease fire, it's been in place now for year and a
00:05:25half, that's a good thing. TRT
00:05:29World's North America correspondent John Brahne has more details from Washington
00:05:32DC. It's not so long ago that the US was
00:05:36carrying out massive air strikes on the hootes,
00:05:40now it's not only talk. to them, it's publicly
00:05:43admitting that, and this of course is designated
00:05:47terror group according to the United States, but it's
00:05:51decided that it's more sensible for it to make an
00:05:54accommodation with the hooties than - go to war with them
00:05:58again, uh, partly that of course is due to what's been
00:06:02happening in Iran and the repercussions of that, the US
00:06:06does not want to open up second front in the
00:06:09region uh, not least because the effect. on the
00:06:12economy back home in the United States. Uh,
00:06:16the impact on the relationship with Saudi Arabia
00:06:20is that it means the Saudis are not able to
00:06:24rely uh automatically on that U.S. support that
00:06:28they might have thought they would be able to rely on. It's understood
00:06:32that Donald Trump was asked twice at the weekend by the Crown
00:06:35Prince for U.S. Air strikes on the hooties, and on both
00:06:39occasions Donald Trump refused. "now the US has
00:06:43set up task force we're told to help the Saudis
00:06:47and there will certainly uh be intelligence
00:06:50gathering and other support of that nature, but the US is
00:06:54not going to get involved directly in the conflict
00:06:58on the on behalf the Saudis, so it's another example
00:07:02really of how those traditional alliances, those traditional
00:07:06American alliances uh often being
00:07:09undermined. O'man says
00:07:13two sailors are missing and 23 others have been rescued following
00:07:16attack on an oil tanker in the straight of Homus. The Panama
00:07:20flagged Algaya is being towed towards an Omani
00:07:24port after fire broke out in its engine room. Iran claims the
00:07:27vessel struck naval mine while passing through an restricted route.
00:07:31The US said it was struck by an Iranian missile last month and then
00:07:35again by a drone over the
00:07:36weekend. At least six people have
00:07:40been killed in the latest. attacks in Gaza, health
00:07:44officials say four people, including a child were killed in separate attacks in
00:07:48Gaza City, with another killed by sniper far in
00:07:51Jibalia, sixth person and died as result of Israeli
00:07:55attacks on Tuesday evening, for its part, the UN human rights
00:07:58office has said the recovery of hundreds of bodies
00:08:02from the rubble of buildings destroyed by Israeli strikes during the war has
00:08:06raised fresh concerns about possible war
00:08:09crimes. "the top
00:08:13law maker in the US has dismissed numerous warnings about the threat posed
00:08:17by AI, echoing President Trump's claim that it's a hoax and that the real
00:08:21concern is allowing China to dominate the industry. However, Congress is under
00:08:25growing pressure to act after insiders from Anthropic and Open
00:08:28AI warned of an existential threat and call for manitary
00:08:32regulation, but house speaker Mike Johnson says that's not
00:08:35necessary. They can self-police,
00:08:39they can self-regulate, they don't need the government to tell them to slow it." "if they want to slow it down
00:08:43they should, but we cannot exactly, we cannot have
00:08:46moratorium on the development of AI, okay, because then we will lose
00:08:50our edge to China, and that has serious national security implications for every
00:08:54American family. Thousands
00:08:58of Romanian sheep farmers have taken to the streets of Bucharest to
00:09:02protest against an export ban on livestock imposed by the
00:09:05EU. Riot police clashed with protesters, tear gas
00:09:09was used to disperse the crowds. Shady Edwards dashey reports."
00:09:16anti-EU farmers in Romania have clashed with
00:09:19police, security forces aimed tear gas squarely
00:09:23at the protesters. It marked one the largest
00:09:26agricultural protests in Romania this
00:09:29year. Shepherds and
00:09:32farmers brought traffic in Bucharest to a standstill. The
00:09:36anger is over an unresolved crisis in the country's
00:09:39livestock sector over restrictions on.
00:09:44politicians should no longer be allowed to pass, we want to block the traffic
00:09:48to make them come and talk to us. In just two years,
00:09:52Romania has gone from being the European Union's largest
00:09:56exporter of live sheep to facing a complete ban on
00:10:00exports to both EU member states and non-EU
00:10:04markets. It comes after virus had been circulated
00:10:07undetected in Romania's livestock and sufficient
00:10:11guarantees for... these control were not provided,
00:10:15that's when the cling began. number
00:10:19one, stop killing animals, they apply tests on six or seven sheep
00:10:23and then they kill thousands. number two: reopen the
00:10:26exports, this is very important, this government should go away because
00:10:30we are being treated like a joke by the authorities, don't look at me, look at all
00:10:34these people that came here, it's all taking
00:10:38its toll, while Romania is in discussions with the European
00:10:42commission to find a workable solution to allow exports to
00:10:45resume as soon as possible, but every day that goes
00:10:49by is another financial hit to
00:10:51farmers, we have very high expenses for
00:10:55taking care of animals, winter is coming, they need corn
00:10:59and hay, we can't sell anymore, how do we get earn
00:11:03money for living? we can no longer sell,
00:11:06it is very difficult, there is terrible drought and we are feeding now the
00:11:10animals with the food that we should have been saving over the
00:11:13winter. it's a disaster, there is severe drought and we
00:11:17don't have enough food for the animals, things are going from
00:11:21bad to worse, this summer the agricultural sector. faced
00:11:25huge losses from severe and prolonged droughts due to record
00:11:29breaking heat waves. the band should be lifted by
00:11:322027, but farmers worry by then
00:11:36business will be driven to the brink of bankrupcy.

00:11:42World. foreign minister Hakan
00:11:46Fidan has said Turkey is stepping up efforts to prevent the Russia-Ukraine
00:11:50war
00:11:50from spreading to the Black Sea. Fidan has said Ankara is intensifying diplomatic
00:11:54efforts.
00:12:03civilian casualties and destruction are increasing with each
00:12:07passing day. since the beginning the crisis, we have made
00:12:11significant efforts to keep the black sea out the
00:12:14conflict. thanks to our strict implementation the montro
00:12:18convention and our efforts to facilitate the black sea grain
00:12:22initiative. we were able to achieve these objectives
00:12:25successfully until recently, however the increasing
00:12:29attacks on civilian vessels in the black sea in recent
00:12:33months have been seriously undermining the safety of life,
00:12:37property, navigation and the environment in the region,
00:12:40unfortunately Turkish and Azerbaijani sea faarers have
00:12:44also lost their lives in these attacks. It is not
00:12:48acceptable for the war to spread into the black sea
00:12:52and threaten the lives of our citizens and the... operation of
00:12:55our companies, we have intensified our efforts to reach an
00:12:59agreement and we are taking the necessary steps to bring
00:13:03these efforts to a conclusion, as Turkey, we will
00:13:07continue to make every effort to achieve
00:13:10peace. Somalis have
00:13:14held rallies in various parts the country to express support for Turkia's
00:13:18continued commitment. Turkish flags filled the stands in
00:13:22by Doa as Somalis gathered to thank Ancora for it. longstanding backing
00:13:26the country, in 2024, the country signed a 10-year
00:13:30defense and economic agreement. mhammed kahia
00:13:34reports
00:13:35from: Somalia and
00:13:39Turkey have developed close and wide ranging partnership
00:13:42with cooperation extending from healthcare and education
00:13:46to security, infrastructure and humanitarian
00:13:49assistance. Over the past years, Turkey has significantly
00:13:53expanded its engagement. in Somalia, becoming one the country's key
00:13:57development and strategic partners in healthcare, Turkish
00:14:01supported institutions in Mdisu have provided medical
00:14:05treatment and special services to thousands of
00:14:08Somalis, including patients receiving essential care for
00:14:11chronic conditions such as kidney failure. Turkey
00:14:15has also invested heavily in education and training or foreign
00:14:19scholarships and supporting programs that provide Somali students and
00:14:23professionals with. opportunities to study and develop new
00:14:27skills, security is another major pillar the
00:14:30relationship. Turkey has supported the training and development
00:14:34of Somali security forces as the country works to strengthen its national
00:14:38institutions and take greater responsibility for its
00:14:41security. The partnership also covers
00:14:45infrastructure, humanitarian assistance and economic development
00:14:48with Turkish Institutions and companies involved in
00:14:52projects aimed at supporting Somalia's long-term.
00:14:56growth: the cooperation has also attracted public support in

00:15:14and that is it for the moment here on TRT World, newsfeed though is coming
00:15:18next.
00:15:28Hello, I'm Lara. Son and this is New Sweet. Yourdos are what people are
00:15:32talking about online. Artificial intelligence is already
00:15:36reshaping modern warfare. From the battlefields of Ukraine to
00:15:40Israel's war on Gaza, militaries are increasingly turning to
00:15:43tech. Now one the world's leading AI companies says their
00:15:47tools were also used in attempt to develop more advanced missiles in
00:15:51Yemen. Antropics says it shut down a group of accounts linked
00:15:55to users in Northern Yemen after identifying what it described as
00:15:59attempts to develop advanced missile technology using its cloud AI
00:16:03model. According to the company, the users relied on clot to write
00:16:07guiding. navigation and control software for a
00:16:10multivariant missile program. Anthropic says they also
00:16:14carried out fail test of a guided rocket before
00:16:17returning
00:16:18to the chatbot to ask why it had not worked. The
00:16:21company says there's no evidence they succeeded in producing an
00:16:25operational weapon. Hethies, a militia group based
00:16:29in Yemen, used Anthropics AI, the publicly available one that you can just
00:16:33subscribe to, to build missile systems. They were developing three different
00:16:37missile. systems using publicly accessible AI and they did not get
00:16:41caught straight away, so they were using multiple accounts and multiple sessions to
00:16:44essentially separate out their research when trying to build these missile systems. they even
00:16:48got one them to the testing stage. they were trying to build missile systems that can reach
00:16:52up to 1500 to 2,00 kilometers away, and top of this there's
00:16:56evidence that they were also researching biological weapons. now the hoothies, they
00:16:59already have ballistic missiles, the problem is making them and getting the people available with the
00:17:03knowledge to be able to make them, and they said in their report, published by Anth...
00:17:08that they could tell that these people were not engineers, and they were essentially trying to substitute the
00:17:11knowledge that they had by using AI, and they were able to do this for a
00:17:15period of time, because if they were able to get to the testing stage, it just proves
00:17:19again that they did not get caught straight away. terrifying part the report is where
00:17:23they say these people use commodity phone clask flight computers, which is
00:17:27very fancy way of saying they used hardware from mobile phones, which
00:17:31is again easily accessible to anyone in the public and to use the
00:17:35hardware and technology these phones con with Anthropic's publicly
00:17:39accessible AI to get to the testing stage of
00:17:42ballistic missile. The company says the users had already built
00:17:46offline simulation tools before turning to AI, suggesting
00:17:50the chatbot was used to accelerate development rather than replace
00:17:53it. The hoouties reject the allegations, calling the claims
00:17:57unreasonable and illogical. They say the group's military
00:18:00capabilities were developed over years and that its weapons are
00:18:04used for self-defense. No.
00:18:08the houtis did not
00:18:08use cloud to build their missiles, this is obviously propaganda from anthropic as
00:18:12well as the US government, both of whom work very closely together, and
00:18:16no matter what the US media tries to tell you, the hoothies are not very
00:18:20sophisticated and they know very well that us ai models such as
00:18:23chat gpt and cloud are even less secure than public google searches
00:18:27and the hootis have been hounded by western intelligence agencies
00:18:31and tech companies for years, they know how the game is played,
00:18:35also you cannot vibe code your way into... winning a war, the US
00:18:38military already tried against Iran and it did not work. Also, if they
00:18:42just wanted to use AI, why wouldn't they use the Chinese open source
00:18:46models, which are lot more secure than the US close source ones, as
00:18:50well as lot less expensive,
00:18:53and this is just part of Anthropics doomer propaganda, which has been working really well, I'm
00:18:56afraid, and now one their ex researchers has been going
00:19:00around western media saying that AI could destroy all
00:19:04humanity in the next decade, developing missile. isn't the
00:19:08only military concern, AI companies say they're confronting.
00:19:11Antropics says it has also identified attempts to
00:19:15use its AI systems for activity that could support the development of
00:19:18biological weapons. The findings add to a growing
00:19:22debate
00:19:22over whether artificial intelligence is advancing faster than the
00:19:26safeguards designed to contain it. In
00:19:29May 2026, our biological safety classifier blocked request for Clad's
00:19:33assistance in authoring a grant application for scientific funding.
00:19:37the work discussed in the application involved gain of function
00:19:41research, basically attempting to give viruses
00:19:45even more capabilities and discovering cure for that
00:19:48virus. using AI for biology is dual
00:19:52use. it can obviously be incredibly helpful when you
00:19:55have amazing scientists using AI to discover new
00:19:59treatments for illness to try to solve and eradicate
00:20:03cancer, but with that same technology it
00:20:07can... also create biological weapons and
00:20:10luckily, anthropic is really good at stopping it so far. top AI
00:20:14leaders are warning that building powerful artificial intelligence too
00:20:17quickly could be dangerous for humanity. antropic CEO,
00:20:21Dario Amade, open ai, Sam Altman and Elon Musk
00:20:25all agree that companies should slow down and be more
00:20:28careful. concerns grew after anthropic researcher quit
00:20:31saying AI companies are taking huge risks with people's
00:20:35lives. Some experts even think... AI could become deadly by end
00:20:39the the decade. Palantier is known for its
00:20:42controversial work with the Israeli military and the US immigration
00:20:46agency ICE. Now the world food program. has
00:20:50extended its partnership with the data analytics company for another
00:20:545 years. the deal is raising concerns within the UN
00:20:57agency over privacy, risk management and palenteers
00:21:01track record. the WFP manages one
00:21:05the world's largest humanitarian biometric databases
00:21:09containing information on millions of aid recipients.
00:21:13some WFP personnel have reportedly raised concerns
00:21:17about whether the agency's data could be used to improve
00:21:20Palenteer's fighter systems. Palenteer staff have also
00:21:24reportedly worked directly inside the
00:21:27WFB. While some former UN personnel have
00:21:30gone to work for Palenteer. An internal WFP
00:21:34inspection flagged in adequate risk management, lack
00:21:38of proper guidelines and policy and reputational
00:21:42risk surrounding its cooperation with palenteer that have led
00:21:45to institutional uncertainty. That's not to mention.
00:21:50major cyber attack on the WFP in May
00:21:532026 that exposed personal data belonging
00:21:57to around 600 thousand households in Palestine's
00:22:00Gaza. It raised further questions about Palenteer's data
00:22:04protection standards. Despite all the concerns, the
00:22:08WFP extended its palentier contract for another
00:22:12five years in July. I am exceedingly proud that after
00:22:15October 7th within weeks we were on the ground and we are involved in opera
00:22:20operationally crucial operations in Israel, so here's
00:22:24the question, should the world's largest humanitarian
00:22:27organization be partnering with a military and surveillance
00:22:31contractor? alg has responded to claims that its smart
00:22:35tvs are secretly recording users. the electronics
00:22:38giant came under scrutinyy after youtube channel gamers nexus
00:22:42claimed LG TVs constantly collect data and send it back to
00:22:46the company. alg says voice data is only. test
00:22:50when users give an explicit command, but Gamer's Nexus
00:22:53claims the televisions can still record audio even when they're
00:22:57switched off, including background noise from as far as 12
00:23:02away, so while the company has denied the claims, privacy
00:23:05concerns are not going away, and with 216 million
00:23:09smart tvs worldwide, that's a lot of concerned
00:23:12users. LG has responded
00:23:16to our investigation and we think they're lying, responding. the
00:23:20gamer's Nexus via literally anyone except for Gamer's Nexus, LG
00:23:24said, quote, the claims made in the recently published video are not true, and
00:23:27quote,
00:23:28that, got it. Does that include um,
00:23:32this in the fact that we have the glass, we own the glass, we own the
00:23:36TV. I guess it's also false that we pointed out that an LG ad solutions president,
00:23:40Serge Mata previously settled case relating to a fraudulent scheme and was barred by
00:23:44the SEC from running a public company for 10 years and now is part the leadership team in
00:23:47charge of your data. I guess it was also fals. when
00:23:50we logged data being exfiltrated from our TV and going to LG ad servers, and we produced
00:23:54actual literal logs and evidence of it, including when the TV was being used as a
00:23:58dumb monitor and plugged into a laptop with
00:24:00HDMI. American
00:24:03singer Pink is still facing backlash over her comments on Rapper
00:24:07Makamore's pro-palestine statement during a concert, but this
00:24:11time people are mocking her response after she posted a lengthy
00:24:15statement defending her position. Pink originally accused Macal
00:24:19More's: on Gaza of being anti-semitic and said
00:24:23Jewish fans who attended the concert should get their money back. Here's what
00:24:27happened. Pink has finally made a statement
00:24:31in regards to the backlash. In case you missed it, Pink
00:24:35shared a post calling out Mackwamore for talking about
00:24:38Palestine is concert when he was opening for Edge
00:24:41Sheirin. So let's talk about this thousand word
00:24:45statement. So she starts off the post in one the most infuriating ways
00:24:49by literally. sliding us, she says that repost isn't
00:24:53a statement, honey, honey, honey, honey,
00:24:55honey, you chose to share
00:24:59a post to your 11 million followers, no one
00:25:03forced you to do that, and then she goes to say that she is a
00:25:06jewish person, she's proud of that, which
00:25:09again, this is nothing to do with being
00:25:12jewish and being anti-semitic, we're literally cooling out of
00:25:16genocide, is nothing to do with the Jewish faith, and then
00:25:20she says that it's a complex
00:25:23war, how are people still saying this,
00:25:26genocide is not complex, it's not a war, it's a
00:25:30genocide. him criticizing the IDF and the
00:25:34Israeli government for the genocide, that's not
00:25:37about Jewish people, that's about Israeli government and
00:25:41apartide and mass murdering all these people in
00:25:44palestine, that's what it's about. what are you talking
00:25:48about, girl? what are you talking about and? then she goes back to the repost again
00:25:52trying to say that she never said that
00:25:56anyone should have their tickets refunded, that's what the repost
00:26:00was, you shared that basically.
00:26:02the statement was just just a bunch of nothing. you could have chosen any other post to
00:26:06repost, but you chose the one that called the genocide in palestine fake. you
00:26:10reposted from a page that has constantly attacked palestinians.
00:26:14now bye, congrats, pink, you have an ex-idf soldier by your
00:26:18side, you're not alone. you have the x idf with you, don't
00:26:21worry. viral
00:26:25cat in the hat social media hoaxes, featuring menacing AI
00:26:29generated images the dr. sue's character is causing.
00:26:32Chaos, what began as an online prank in the US,
00:26:36has now spread around the world. Authorities across the US have
00:26:40stepped up police patrols around schools and several minors
00:26:44have
00:26:44been arrested. The trend began on Snapchat with images and
00:26:48short videos showing the cat in the hat, lurking outside
00:26:51homes, schools and on streets at night. Many the images
00:26:55were AI generated, but the trend later took a darker turn with
00:26:59people dressing up as the character and posting... videos containing
00:27:03threatening messages or naming people they claim they plan to
00:27:07target horror-like version the cat and
00:27:11the hat is showing up in posts across social media and some students
00:27:15are already facing criminal charges for participating in the trend.
00:27:18schools and police have had to launch investigations and increase
00:27:22security after AI generated or edited images made it look
00:27:26like the cat in the hat was lurking outside homes, schools or neighborhoods
00:27:30at night. the AI images themselves are fit. but some posts name
00:27:34real schools, communities or students and include messages like,
00:27:37you're next, or don't leave your window open. the can the hat trend has become such a
00:27:41big problem that it is caused schools to shut down. trust me,
00:27:45i'm not kidding, is all be likely now it's become a trend for people to dress up in canal costumes all
00:27:49across the entire world and just cause chaos in wherever place they live, and it's
00:27:53not gotten
00:27:54to the point where people are uploading videos online in their canda costumes and letting everyone
00:27:58know the next place they're going to to cause chaos. when ai

00:28:05automatically is flagged and sent to law enforcement a copy
00:28:09of all the chat transcript is sent to law enforcement along with
00:28:13location the user, where is he connecting from, all that
00:28:16information is forward to law enforcement. number two, when you're
00:28:20using social media and the algorithm on the social
00:28:24media network flags this is as a potential
00:28:27threat also that is the same case. it's one thing to
00:28:31share an AI. generated image online, it's something else
00:28:35entirely to buy the cat and the hat costume, worn by Mike
00:28:38Myyers in the 2003 film adaptation and use it to scare
00:28:42people. influencer with more than a half million followers
00:28:46across several social media platforms has now apologized for
00:28:50doing exactly that. i'm here to apologize for the video of
00:28:54me chasing people around in the cat and the hat costume. after doing some
00:28:57reflecting on the video i posted, i realized what i did was wrong and that i caused
00:29:01panic to many. people, at the time I thought it'd be funny to chase people dress as
00:29:05the cat and the hat, not realizing people would actually be fearing for their own safety,
00:29:09like I was just doing it for my own entertainment, I didn't know people were actually going
00:29:13to be fearing for their lives. I know there's no excuses for my
00:29:17actions, but I'm not going to lie, my mental health has not been the best and I
00:29:21believe that I've been haunted into doing these horrible things. I know the police are
00:29:25investigating the situation, but I just want to say I'm truly so sorry and
00:29:29hope everyone can forgive me. And that's our show, find out late. stuff on

00:30:35The Iran war has shaken the Middle East, exposing weaknesses in
00:30:39America's regional security order. As Washington considers
00:30:43reducing its military footprint, questions are growing over the future
00:30:47of US leadership in the region. Is American dominance giving way to
00:30:51new multipolar world? I'll break it all down here on Straight
00:30:54talk.
00:31:13Hello and welcome to Straight talk. I'm. Yusuf, the Iran war has
00:31:17raised fundamental questions about the future the Middle East, global energy
00:31:21security, and American leadership. The war's fallout has
00:31:24exposed vulnerabilities in the US led security order. Iran has
00:31:28severely damaged American bases across the Gulf, threatened
00:31:31Washington's regional allies and disrupted shipping through the straight of
00:31:35Hormus, and now America's decades long military presence
00:31:39in the Middle East is being rolled back. US forces have left their
00:31:43major bases in Syria. are withdrawing from Iraq, and the
00:31:47Pentagon is even considering abandoning some gulf
00:31:50facilities battered by Iranian attacks. Amid that
00:31:54uncertainty, new alliances are emerging. Turkia, Saudi
00:31:58Arabia and Pakistan have formed the Mecca defense Alliance,
00:32:02pledging to treat attack on one as attack on all.
00:32:06Meanwhile, Turkey Israel tensions are deepening as Israel
00:32:09strengthens military ties with Greece through a $3.5 billion
00:32:13dollar deal. so as old alliances are tested and new
00:32:17power centers emerge, what does the future hold for American
00:32:20influence and what would a truly multipolar middle east and
00:32:24world look like? for more, joining me now from Washington
00:32:28DC is political scientist George Friedman, he's
00:32:32also the chairperson of geopolitical futures. George,
00:32:36thanks for joining me. I've read your books and consumed lot of your
00:32:40content in someone I've closely followed over the years and I'm
00:32:44very happy to have. you across from me right now to be able to unpack the many
00:32:48issues, and I want to begin with the war in Iran and rather talk
00:32:52about event-based scenarios. I want to talk
00:32:55about where on the time, where in the timeline we are right now, are
00:32:59we at the beginning, the middle or the end of this conflict
00:33:03between the United States and Iran and Israel as
00:33:07distant third belligerant? well, when you take a look at the
00:33:10war uh, essentially it's about nuclear
00:33:14power, you notice that President Trump is constantly talking about
00:33:18their nuclear capability for one reason that I don't think
00:33:22the world understands, al-qaeda, its
00:33:26remnance, it's not a operational force, is given sanctuary
00:33:29inside of Iran, the nightmare the United
00:33:33States, this is the anniversary the 9/11 attacks, is
00:33:37the idea of nuclear 9/11,
00:33:40placing a ship nuclear weapon sailing into New York
00:33:44Harbour. so I think this was one the
00:33:48motivations behind what Trump did:
00:33:51first he bombed their nuclear facilities,
00:33:55that failed to stop them, he's constantly demanding this
00:33:59as his course, I think this is the fundamental
00:34:03force that led the United States to do this, the fear of
00:34:07nuclear Iran given its ideology and given who
00:34:11it's giving harbor to, but if that's the...
00:34:15case why tear up the JCPO and
00:34:19then leave a certain amount of time
00:34:22between a military intervention. I mean, you've kind of
00:34:26unshackled around to pursue a nuclear weapon, in that
00:34:29there's
00:34:30a couple years in between the military intervention and tearing up the
00:34:33JCPO,
00:34:34so I mean strategically, it's kind of like almost Trump is
00:34:38baiting Iran into getting nuclear weapon.
00:34:42Well, the war began with strategic
00:34:46error by the United States, they
00:34:49thought that the government, the civilian government of
00:34:53Iran was the government of Iran, they destroyed
00:34:56it, they decapitated Iran, they thought this would create the
00:35:00chaos, the truth was that
00:35:03the IRGC controls the country and
00:35:07destroying the civilian leadership didn't do anything at it, now why
00:35:11Trump didn't know this, I don't know, whether the
00:35:15intelligence people told him that this was true or not, I don't understand what
00:35:19happened, but the war began with assumption that was
00:35:23not true, and Iran has
00:35:25been able to resist to this point, and
00:35:29so this is a war that began with, I think,
00:35:33misunderstanding the nature of Iran, and is continuing, we're
00:35:37learning it, now so so what does the end
00:35:41of this war look like, is
00:35:42it is the end the war mushroom? cloud over
00:35:45Tehran, is it return to the mou or a
00:35:49JCPOa plus? And where does that leave
00:35:53American presence in the Middle East? I mean, will these bases
00:35:57that have been hit quite hard in uh Bahrain,
00:36:00Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, are they going
00:36:04to be rebuilt or is America going to use this
00:36:08as excuse to downsize presence and
00:36:11finally do that Pacific shift that we've been hearing about for a couple.
00:36:15decades: well, the fundamental interest in the United
00:36:18States is disengaging from the eastern
00:36:22hemisphere, for the past 80 years, the United States had the
00:36:25role of... managing
00:36:29events in the eastern hemisphere, it fought many wars,
00:36:33many dead people from Vietnam to Iraq,
00:36:35and so on and so forth. This is something any president would be
00:36:39doing trying to disengage from
00:36:42the exposure in the far east, at the same time,
00:36:46it's not an easy thing to achieve, events happening and the being
00:36:50drawing into it, so what I see that is
00:36:54happening is what I would know,
00:36:57we had a... expected to happen, disengagement, but
00:37:01disengagements are hard, and what the United States really wants to
00:37:04do is not to be responsible for Israel, not to be
00:37:08responsible for the Saudis, but is very happy, I think to see the
00:37:12evolution of Turkey and its allies
00:37:16in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia as
00:37:19new entity, so from my point of view, this is the
00:37:23most important evolutions that's taking place in your region.
00:37:28which is this new
00:37:31environment in which we will ask not what the Americans are going to
00:37:35be doing, but more as what the Turkish Turks are going to be
00:37:38doing, so so you see Turkia the probably the
00:37:42biggest candidate to fill the American void in the region. I i
00:37:46want you to talk a little about that, and also the mecca alliance,
00:37:50this newly formed defensive coalition between Turkia,
00:37:54Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, will that be playing? big
00:37:58role do you see that being a successful endeavor that
00:38:01may be growing in the future?
00:38:04enormous, i
00:38:07predicted that the turks and the Iranians
00:38:11i should say, i predicted that the
00:38:14turks and the saudis would become
00:38:17allies. turkey is very powerful military
00:38:21force, it needs economic support.
00:38:25Saudi Arabia is very power. economic
00:38:29force, it needs to be protected by
00:38:32Turkey, so when we take a look at the situation
00:38:36there, I knew there would be an alliance between
00:38:39Turkey and Saudi Arabia, I was surprised
00:38:43by Pakistan being included, but
00:38:45it was an excellent inclusion, now Iran is actually
00:38:49surrounded by Turkey
00:38:53and Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, it becomes their problem,
00:38:57but united states
00:38:58is not very good at disengaging from problems,
00:39:02so this comestion, how does the united states disengage and
00:39:06allow the mecca alliance to expand
00:39:09to Egypt perhaps and to take responsibility
00:39:13for these things? well, how do
00:39:17you see
00:39:18the this handing the bton happening? mean, obviously
00:39:22it's going to be gradualer phase, mean america is not just going to pick
00:39:26up its bags and leave. borrow uh, the MEC Alliance
00:39:29isn't ready to handle that burden right now either,
00:39:33it's still trying to build its mechanisms, how do you see that
00:39:37gradual shift and the actors inside
00:39:41the region, obviously Israel and Iran, two countries that
00:39:45when they look at the mecca alliance, probably are
00:39:48concerning uh, its presence is concerning to their own
00:39:52national securities, how do you think that's going to play out as
00:39:55well? Well first
00:39:58Israel, okay? Israel is a
00:40:02profoundly weak country, it was created by the United
00:40:05Nations. It is 71 miles
00:40:08wide its widest point. It
00:40:12was faced by hostile nations and
00:40:16movements all around it, and it
00:40:19adopted a strategy of preemptive strikes
00:40:22constantly holding them off. In 73, it
00:40:26almost lost. the war because it didn't do that.
00:40:30this is no longer the reality in the region. it's very
00:40:33important
00:40:34to understand that Israel is now a very different
00:40:38position than it was before.
00:40:40it is now no longer simply the
00:40:43major military power in the region. turkey is
00:40:47evolving, pakistan has evolved, other nations are
00:40:50evolving. so very different Israel must
00:40:54emerge, and that's a political problem. but you had said
00:40:58before that the United States can simply leave, we simply left
00:41:02Vietnam, we left Iraq, we left
00:41:05Afghanistan, we have that ability to realize
00:41:09what the game is up, to take actions, so I
00:41:12think one the things that the alliance has to be
00:41:16considering is the possibility that in the end, if the
00:41:19Iranians don't collapse, and there a great deal of difficulty economically as
00:41:23well, if they don't reach an accombination, the United States could...
00:41:28and then you must evolve your organization much more
00:41:31r to
00:41:35what's mean obviously the as we both agree the
00:41:39United States can't leave and there are examples of it just leaving,
00:41:43but again, leaving a country versus leaving region, especially region
00:41:47that's been so lucrative for the United States, I mean the oil
00:41:51here, uh, the amount of money that's pumped into U.S. treasury
00:41:54bills, uh, the investment in the United States, that's not
00:41:58something that uh, Washington wants to just leave behind
00:42:02again, having a NATO member here
00:42:06filling that security void, that's important, but a...
00:42:10Again that period of transition going to be tough, there's been a lot of friction
00:42:13between Israel and Turkey, obviously Israel very
00:42:17important for the United States, some would say it's closest sally, some would
00:42:21say ally that gets it into a lot of trouble as well at the same
00:42:25time, how's the friction between Israel and Turkia going to
00:42:29play out in Washington, will the
00:42:32U.S. want to hand over to tut, is this something
00:42:36that the Israeli influence and lobby in Washington will try to?
00:43:04Israel was a tremendous asset for the United States under those
00:43:07circumstances, keeping these nations at bay.
00:43:11"the cold war is long over and that's not
00:43:14relevant, so
00:43:18the American engagement in the middle east used to be security
00:43:22engagement trying to block the soviets, at this point
00:43:26it's going to be more of economic relationship, it does not want
00:43:30the burdens of sending troops there,
00:43:34and its relationship with Israel, as you see in the United
00:43:37States, where Israel was widely..."
00:43:40supported, that support has declined among the
00:43:43public and in the presidency
00:43:46itself, so I think we're seeing a fundamental change, I think
00:43:50Israel will survive, Israel will be
00:43:54there, but the most important nation from the
00:43:58United States point of view at this point in time is
00:44:02this mecca alliance and particular Turkey, that is
00:44:06going to emerge, as I said before, as the major...
00:44:10power in the region and Israel will have to learn to live with
00:44:13that, otherwise it will be
00:44:15disastrous. so things are changing, the realities the
00:44:19past that we were living with are
00:44:22obsolete, very different things are
00:44:24emerging. i want to talk a little about
00:44:28one the books that you wrote the next hundred years back in 2009, i
00:44:32believe it was published. i when you take into account one or two
00:44:36years to formulate your thoughts and actually write the book, we can say it's
00:44:40about two decades old now, when you look back at your
00:44:43predictions and you see tokia the way it is
00:44:46now, what lines up, what
00:44:49is an overachievement, what is an underachievement
00:44:53compared to what you pictured
00:44:55at 20 years ago? well, it's
00:44:59actually moving the way I thought. I said there were three
00:45:02countries, Japan, Poland, and
00:45:05Turkey, these would become major regional
00:45:08powers. That transition is happening now, Poland is
00:45:12now power, Japan is becoming a more military power,
00:45:16and Turkey is there. The evolution that has to take place in
00:45:19Turkey is economic. Turkey is a
00:45:23significant military power and can project
00:45:26force, which it has not done yet, but to a great
00:45:30extent. What's important now for Turkey is its economic
00:45:34evolution and its relationship to Saudi Arabia
00:45:38is enormously important.
00:45:40'Saudi Arabia also needing Turkey to defend
00:45:44itself because
00:45:45it is rich and weak and that's not something you want to be in this
00:45:48world, so I see evolutions going on that
00:45:52Turkey is also going to have to be taking a point of
00:45:55conciliator and we're seeing that happen too in many ways, both
00:45:59in the Ukraine war and it's going to have to have
00:46:03relationship with Israel, but I am saying that where
00:46:07Israel was the center of gravity the problem'. the Middle East in the
00:46:11past, they're now marginalized in terms their power
00:46:15and so
00:46:15on and so forth, and to a large
00:46:17extent the Turks will have to
00:46:21deal with that problem in time. What's what should
00:46:25tur's biggest concern be going forward or what could derail
00:46:29it from achieving uh the place that you
00:46:32predicted it would be in the next 100
00:46:34years? Well, the most important
00:46:38things that are in the region. are the non-state actors?
00:46:42these non-state actors are ideological, there are countries that
00:46:46are supporting them, particularly Iran, and they tend to
00:46:49destabilize the situation, not only, for Israel,
00:46:53mostly for Israel, but also for other countries,
00:46:57so it's very difficult to have steady international
00:47:01relations within countries in the middle east, so long these
00:47:05are the non-state actors, so one the things that has to be
00:47:08done, these non-state actors were primarily against
00:47:12Israel, but also destabilizing the region as well, so the
00:47:16next step has to be a modification, not an
00:47:19elimination, a modification these non-state.
00:47:23then the nations the region can begin talking without looking over
00:47:27their shoulders. i want to ask you,
00:47:31there's been a lot of talk about us being now
00:47:35a multipolar order, are we a multipolar
00:47:38world? is
00:47:39there a multipolar order governing that multipolar world or
00:47:43are we still in the last throws the unipolar
00:47:46world? well there was unipolar
00:47:50world, was
00:47:50there a bipolar world. United States the Soviet Union for
00:47:5480 years faced each other, competed for each other in the former
00:47:58European empires that collapsed after World War
00:48:01II, and the Russians
00:48:05are no longer major power that they could not occupy in
00:48:09almost five years Ukraine, means they
00:48:12are not possibly going to
00:48:13go to war with Europe, they not
00:48:16a major power, their economy is split. The fundamental
00:48:20relationship at this point is between... says in
00:48:23China. China has a fundamental
00:48:26problem. It produces more products that it
00:48:29consume domestically.
00:48:31It is the world's second largest economy, but in terms of per
00:48:35capita income, the ability them to
00:48:39buy the goods, the number 71.
00:48:43The United States is their largest
00:48:47exporting partner. They need the United States. They
00:48:51cannot have hostal. relation states, the United States
00:48:55cannot have host, has be dependent
00:48:57economically on China, so
00:49:01long as they might go to war with us, therefore the summits
00:49:05that are being held now are being based on two
00:49:08relationships evolving, the first the
00:49:12economic relationship, which is very important to
00:49:15China, the second is
00:49:19not having a military confrontation, so we're... to
00:49:23the idea of a Soviet American
00:49:25confrontation, you're also used to the idea
00:49:29the United States being the global power that must make peace everywhere in the
00:49:33world. These things are changing. The Americans want to
00:49:36retreat into the western hemisphere, they want to remain
00:49:39economically working in the
00:49:43region, but they do not want to be responsible any
00:49:46longer, not just Trump, this is a general feeling, being
00:49:50responsible. we're going to wars in various
00:49:54countries in the eastern hemisphere, and therefore they're
00:49:57looking for, I think, leadership within the
00:50:01region, we've already said that NATO must be responsible for the
00:50:04region, so who is responsible
00:50:07for the middle east? I'm talking to the people who are going
00:50:11to be responsible the middle east, along with the Saudis and
00:50:14others, so this is a fundamental change, we are thinking about
00:50:18the polar worlds, it's much more complex now.
00:50:23Yeah, it does look like inside of that multipolar world, these
00:50:27middle powers are definitely going to have very, very big roles.
00:50:31I i want to ask you about another prediction, uh,
00:50:352030s, the collapse of Russia, do you
00:50:39still see that happening with the current state the war in
00:50:42Ukraine, and if Russia does collapse, where does
00:50:46that leave NATO going forward?
00:50:49Well, Russia already lost.
00:50:55the countries to the east of
00:50:57it,
00:50:59the those countries, it lost the south caucasus, it lost
00:51:03western Europe, the country that was the Soviet
00:51:06Union is much reduced, this is
00:51:10why they invade
00:51:11Ukraine, so Hitler
00:51:15and Hitler and Napoleon invaded Russia,
00:51:19they lost because
00:51:20of how deep it was. "the Ukrainian border is about
00:51:24300 miles away from Moscow, they had to
00:51:28invade. I also wrote in that book, first work that they would
00:51:32invade and try to take Ukraine. They have failed,
00:51:36they failed miserably, their military force could not but defeat
00:51:40Ukraine, they are not a major military force, but
00:51:44they're also now economically ravaged, so they lost the south
00:51:47coses, they lost East Asia,
00:51:51they've lost..." western hemisphere, but there's still a
00:51:55fear, a concept that this Russia is a great power, it's going to
00:51:59invade the Baltics or this or that. It's shown
00:52:03that it's not a great military power. "and in that
00:52:06sense, it has already collapsed it away, it is
00:52:10nothing like what we've thought was, therefore
00:52:14nato
00:52:14as an organization that was built to defend against Russia, is
00:52:18going evolve into something else or collapse, so we're looking, we
00:52:22are living a period like the end of World War II
00:52:26where everything is changing in the world, definitely a very
00:52:29transformative period, I want to ask you about two more
00:52:33alliances, the bricks. and the Shanghai Cooperation
00:52:37Organization, how do you see these two alliances within the
00:52:40framework the future? well, in terms of
00:52:44military alliance, they're not much, okay, and they
00:52:48have hostile relations with each other, as
00:52:51economic evolution, they're going
00:52:55evolve in various ways, so it must
00:52:58distinguish something we didn't distinguish in the cold war, in the cold
00:53:02war we were always looking at military power. "now it's a
00:53:06military power plus economic power and these
00:53:10countries are united in certain
00:53:13ways, but they have very different interests, very different positions and so
00:53:17on and so forth, so a coalition these countries
00:53:20is as being effective is very hard to
00:53:23imagine. what one the major themes
00:53:27that uh the SCO and probably at the bricks
00:53:31is the status the dollar as the reserved currency."
00:53:35do you see the the future the dollar in danger and if
00:53:39something does replace it, what could replace
00:53:41it? well, firstly, the United States became the
00:53:45world's currency, because the only valuable currency after
00:53:49World War II, the Britain woods agreements and all these other agreements created
00:53:53a structure the world. One the things the United
00:53:57States did was rejuvenate
00:54:01Europe, okay? another thing it did was fight this...
00:54:35had a problem for the United States, but particularly now that there are
00:54:39powers economic powers like Japan, like Saudi
00:54:42Arabia, all these countries, why should the United States bear
00:54:46the burden of being the primary
00:54:49currency? the primary currency is
00:54:52whatever other nations accept, it is the US
00:54:56primary currency because
00:54:58it is the most stable currency and the most
00:55:01capable in
00:55:04the in the end of time other nations will emerge, other currencies
00:55:08will emerge, so whether the dollar remains the
00:55:11fundamental currency, I'm not sure the United States is
00:55:15eager
00:55:15to see that happen, because many times the United States was drawn
00:55:19economic situations to stabilize it, they want
00:55:22to, if you could write a one chapter add-on
00:55:26to the next 100 years with 20 years of hindsight right
00:55:30now, what would that chapter be titled and what would the
00:55:34predictions in that?
00:55:34include: well, at this
00:55:38point, the most important question in the world is the
00:55:42future of Europe. the European Union
00:55:45its GDP
00:55:49is larger than the Chinese. if
00:55:52Europe got together as nation state
00:55:56away with provinces and so on, it
00:56:00would be a superpower. if it remains in this
00:56:03condition it's in, is likely to remain, it
00:56:07will be victim the United States, China and
00:56:11other countries picking them off,
00:56:14so the most important geopolitical
00:56:17question is, will the Europeans join
00:56:21together, and what happens is eastern
00:56:25Europe, maybe three seas alliance pull together or something like
00:56:29that, but boring that, the most important
00:56:32things that are happening now are: in South America,
00:56:36which is devolving rapidly economically, but also the
00:56:40Middle East, when we see this first
00:56:44major Islamic alliance, I'll call it, that is
00:56:48formed, suddenly the possibility the Middle East
00:56:51becoming very wealthy, perhaps happy
00:56:55region is possible. George Friedman,
00:56:59fascinating discussion, thank you for doing

00:59:27The Balkans is at the crossroads of history.
00:59:31Foreign influence has always weighed heavily on the
00:59:34people. The war in Ukraine
00:59:38has tested the fragile
00:59:40car.
00:59:45As global powers consider their next. steps, few take
00:59:49into consideration what the people here
00:59:51want,

00:59:59World.
01:00:24Hello there, welcome to TRT World, this is the news are live with me, Aron
01:00:28Armstrong. Coming up in the next 60 minutes, the Hutis claim hundreds of
01:00:32government forces have been killed or wounded as fighting continues in
01:00:35Yemen. The Iran-backed group has also threatened more Saudi
01:00:39strikes as the UN wars of humanitarian
01:00:41crisis. The leaders of Saudi Arabia and Egypt meanwhile
01:00:45hold crisis talks in Cairo. to address the widening conflict in the Middle
01:00:49East, Washington says it has no plans to step in to boost Saudied
01:00:53security. Two sailors are missing after another attack on shipping in
01:00:57the straight of Homus. The US has blamed.
