00:01:15Hello, Iran's central military command says the US is planning for
00:01:19in in another round of attacks days after President Donald Trump says he will make a big
00:01:23decision in the coming days. Iran has vowed to
00:01:27retaliate against any US attack by targeting US bases
00:01:31and interests in the region. On the diplomatic side,
00:01:34Iranian officials have
00:01:36a delivered Washington seven conditions to restart
00:01:38negotiations. Trump may take up the Iranian proposal when he
00:01:42meets gulf leaders next week. Among the conditions are the release
00:01:46of frozen assets and an end to the US naval
00:01:49blockade.
00:01:52Today on the diplomatic front as well. Our
00:01:56of positions are
00:01:57of completely clear, rational.
00:02:04of
00:02:11of of
00:02:16of
00:02:19of of

00:02:31hormos.
00:02:35details iran seven conditions but says deep mistrust continues
00:02:39to shape the approach
00:02:40to negotiations with Washington. expectations
00:02:44in Iran are not very high for
00:02:47in these of negotiations given the history of
00:02:51negotiations between Tehran and the Donald Trump administration. the
00:02:54first time that Iran and the Donald Trump
00:02:57administration start. negotiations that was in the spring
00:03:01of 2025 and in the middle of those
00:03:04negotiations the United States and Israel attacked Iran, the same
00:03:08scenario was repeated in late
00:03:10a February of this year, and when the presidents
00:03:14of the two countries back in June signed
00:03:17document, both
00:03:19of them signed the same document, the Islamabad memorandum of understanding, we
00:03:23saw that that mou also unraveled within
00:03:27weeks, but it seems that Iran once
00:03:30a return of both sides to the Islamabad memorandum of
00:03:34understanding, provided that the United States adhears
00:03:38to all of its commitments and gives guarantees that it will not
00:03:41attack Iran again. Among the
00:03:44of points that Iran um wants the United States to do, the demands that Iran have
00:03:48from the has from the United States, one
00:03:51of them is the release of Iranian
00:03:54of frozen assets. Tehran has billions
00:03:55in of dollars in frozen assets abroad. Another one is
00:03:59in the... war on all fronts, not only in Iran, but Iran
00:04:03wants end of Israeli attacks in Lebanon and in Gaza as
00:04:07well, refraining from
00:04:09a interfering in internal affairs of Iran, Tehran as long accused the United
00:04:13States of formenting and encouraging protests and riots
00:04:17in Iran and Tehran wants the United States to stop this,
00:04:21of stop cooperating with opponents, the opposition
00:04:24of the Islamic Republic, Iran says that the United States is supporting them
00:04:28and wants Washington to stop this support. halt any form of
00:04:32in aggression. Mamen Guda is a professor
00:04:36of Middle East Economics at Hankook University of foreign studies. He says
00:04:40Trump is looking for a way out given the global economic
00:04:43implications caused by
00:04:45in the
00:04:45in Iran war. Iran holds now many
00:04:48of the cards. I think they they are having a very strategic
00:04:52moment in hands
00:04:54of course I mean the Republicans are witnessing
00:04:57major I mean. position in US, we
00:05:01have inflation, we have
00:05:03a rising fuel prices, especially in US, we
00:05:06have of course the hoouti escalation in
00:05:10Yemen and Saudi Arabia, so all this is taking into consideration,
00:05:14i think the Iranian leadership, they are choosing the right moment
00:05:18to side their so callalled seven terms
00:05:21and and i would like just to point out that they say as you mentioned
00:05:25earlier stop military actions on all active france and
00:05:29all i think also means yemen which is a big thing
00:05:32you know talking about at the same time so i think it's a very
00:05:36strategic move and i think president trump has lots to think
00:05:40about at this moment this is very good time to stop and to
00:05:43rethink why are we here at the first
00:05:46moment? because the inflation, the the
00:05:50economic pressure that all of us are witnessing right now and we will witness
00:05:53more and more if this escalation goes on whether with Iran, whether
00:05:57with Yahooti, whether with hormos or Babel, I think
00:06:01sooner or later this has to stop President Trump, I think
00:06:05he understands what's happening, he understand the economic pressure, he is witnessing the
00:06:09economic pressure in US by himself and... "I think he needs
00:06:13to stop and he will, I think rethink what's happening now with
00:06:17Iran, we need to reach some sort of a concession right
00:06:21now, and the economy is the key, economy is the real key that's happening
00:06:25around here, I have to say that before
00:06:28this war, Korea was or Japan, Korea, China was looking at the middle east
00:06:32a very different light, nowadays nobody is talking about the middle east, they are
00:06:35only talking about the oil, everybody needs the oil, everybody needs the prices
00:06:39to go down, inflation is being affected by..." every household
00:06:43around here, so I think this is an international cry, let's
00:06:47say not even a code, it's cry for for all those
00:06:51big powers
00:06:52to stop and rethink what's happening right now, and the inflation it as
00:06:55you have mentioned is is growing even in us, the oil
00:06:58prices is extreme us right
00:07:02now, so I think this needs to stop, this president Trump, he has
00:07:06many ways of stopping this through diplomacy, through other
00:07:09means, but this, I mean ongoing... conflict with no end,
00:07:13i think it has somehow to stop because all of us are suffering right
00:07:17now. Israeli war planes have bombed several locations
00:07:20in southern Lebanon. they targeted the towns of bani
00:07:24hayan and alcantara in the marjayun
00:07:27district of the southern part the country. Israel repeatedly
00:07:31breaches US back security deal with Lebanon.
00:07:35nearly 9,00 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Lebanon
00:07:39since 2023 and more than 1 million leban
00:07:42people are displaced from the
00:07:45attacks, an Israeli strike
00:07:48a civilian vehicle in Gaza City has killed at least one
00:07:52person. This raised the death toll on Saturday alone to five
00:07:56people, including those killed in other attacks across the enclave
00:07:59in Jabalya, Noseirat and Gaza City. It is the
00:08:03latest Israeli violation to to the cease fire signed with
00:08:07Hamas in October last year, more than 1,300
00:08:10Palestinians have been killed. Israeli attacks since the
00:08:14agreement, a force displacement and
00:08:18prolonged blackouts have silenced many of Gaza's creative
00:08:21voices, yet amid the ruins, one self-tought balance
00:08:25artist refuses to give up, abdul wahab
00:09:20everything to the stand still, there was simply no space or proper equipment
00:09:24left. Israel's war did more than
00:09:28this place ahmad, it interrupted something, he had spent years
00:09:31building, no place to practice, no equipment and no
00:09:35connection, after the world out had to stop all
00:09:39together because there was no internet connection to share my...
00:09:51to do this he needed absolute focus, but how to find that
00:09:55focus when you're constantly on the
00:09:57move? still he found the way back to
00:10:01it, not in a studio, not with the proper equipment, but
00:10:05with whatever he could find around
00:10:07him,
00:10:12social media once again, his circumstances have
00:10:16changed, his equipment has changed, but getting back to his art is
00:10:20a way of reclaiming a piece of life
00:10:34a place where almost everything has been thrown off balance, ahmed
00:10:38is trying to find his again, abdul wahab hamed, trq

00:10:45violence flad in the occupied west bank after an illegal Israeli settler was
00:10:49shot dead near, separately the Israeli army says its forces
00:10:53killed a..." Ian motorist who they claimed was attempting to run
00:10:57them over. The attack took place at the site the formally evacuated
00:11:01illegal settlement in the northern occupied west bank.
00:11:05Dozens of Israelis have intruded into the al-Asa Mosk
00:11:08compound in occupied East Jerusalem under the protection of
00:11:12Israeli police. Some of those who made it inside perform Jewish prayers
00:11:16and religious rituals in the courtyards. It comes just hours before the
00:11:20Jewish celebration of Yommipur. Palestinian officials are warning the
00:11:24growing. these actions are part of attempt to change
00:11:28the status the holy site and control access to the
00:11:31area. British music star Ed Sheeren has
00:11:35apologized to fans in Philadelphia for how he's handled the
00:11:38controversy over the dropping of American rapper Mclamore. He was
00:11:42removed from the Singer's latest US tour
00:11:46after the promoters objected to pro-Palestinian comments he
00:11:50made on stage during performances in New
00:11:53Jersey. Shera. Shiran blamed the
00:11:56tour promoter for the move, all of Sheeran's remains
00:12:00remaining opening axe and his backing band then pulled out in
00:12:04solidarity with
00:12:05Mclamore.
00:12:18A huge wave of Ukrainian drones have been launched at Russia in one the
00:12:22biggest attacks the year so far, more than f 450
00:12:25targeted Moscow where at least two people were killed in strikes on apartment
00:12:29blocks. An oil refinery was also hit in the early morning
00:12:33attacks causing several large fires. officials say most the drones
00:12:37were intercepted. Ukrainian drones also hit a bus in
00:12:40Kerson in the Russian controlled region of Ukraine killing
00:12:43two, one them an election official.
00:12:47A voting has ended on the final day in the Russian parliamentary
00:12:51elections. It is the first since the Ukraine war with.
00:12:55launched in 2022. President Vladimir Putin earlier said the
00:12:58votes would underline the public support for the Russian army
00:13:02fighting on the front lines. Anti-war parties have largely been
00:13:06barred from contesting the elections. Russia's head the election
00:13:09agency said their systems were attacked by hackers for
00:13:13second day. For the first time
00:13:17residents of Ukrainian regions now under Russian control are
00:13:20also voting. There are 3.5 million voters in the four.
00:13:25in these territories illegal
00:13:32and
00:13:32has called urged the foreign voting governments and international organizations not to recognize the
00:13:36results. for more details
00:13:40joins us now uh from moscow dasha what is the
00:13:44latest you're hearing on how the voting has been
00:13:47going
00:13:51now? well we have now the data from the central election commission which is
00:13:55just that these parliamentary elections have actually exceeded the
00:13:58turnout from the previous years, more than
00:14:0256% of Russians showed up at the polen stations or cost their
00:14:06ballet online, this is the highest number
00:14:09than in 2021, in 2016,
00:14:12203 or 1993, so that
00:14:16does show a lot in terms the
00:14:20people's desire to cost their bullet and exercise their right,
00:14:23we also hear in that in... Moscow the turnout has increased to
00:14:2751% and this voting has been
00:14:31preciding indeed in the so-called new territories of Russia of
00:14:34Donietsk Lugansk Zaparishia and Herson and this is where the turnout
00:14:38has also been very high more than 70% to all of
00:14:41those territories. We also hear in that voting is over
00:14:45in some the overseas territories in foreign
00:14:49countries where the voting was taking place at the ambassis of
00:14:52Russia and uh the Russian authority. is are saying that what
00:14:56Ukraine tried to do was to derail these elections
00:15:00by launching the large scale attack against Moscow, the Moscow region.
00:15:04The latest numbers suggest that up to 2,0 Ukrainian drones were
00:15:08intercepted over the past 24 hours and Moscow
00:15:11insists that what they will have to do is to increase their own
00:15:15attacks on Kief in response to that, but no major
00:15:18regularities have so far been reported regarding those elections and
00:15:22interestingly people who have been coming to the Polon station. I've been
00:15:25talking to them, they do say that they don't want their
00:15:29voice to be wasted, they want to cast it in person to
00:15:33make sure they cost it the way they wanted and to be clear.
00:15:37there that electronic voting will not be reinterpreted,
00:15:41they do not really trust this system, but nevertheless we know that in
00:15:45Moscow alone more than 300, 3 million and a half of
00:15:48voters have voted online, so indeed very important
00:15:52elections for the Russians and the first time that they are voting for the
00:15:56new law makers uh under the situation where they are in
00:16:00the conflict with Ukraine and Dasha, as far as these uh
00:16:04reports of of cyber attacks on uh some
00:16:07the voting places, how is that uh affected
00:16:11things overall?
00:16:15well, interestingly, we are hearing from the Russian authorities in the
00:16:19central election commission that there have been numerous do as attacks
00:16:23against the electronic voting system against the
00:16:26governmental portals, we are hearing that they have been efecting
00:16:30voting in uh foreign countries, but here in
00:16:33Moscow um we've been getting some reports uh that...
00:16:37in some places people could not vote in paper ballots and
00:16:41they were forced to vote only online, however the polling station where i
00:16:45was, the situation was quite different, instead people were
00:16:49encouraged to vote in paper because they couldn't vote
00:16:52online, that system was off for some time, so certainly we
00:16:56understand that had some effect, but overall no major
00:16:59regularities have been reported and the turnout is very
00:17:03very high. all right, dasha, thanks for that, dasha.
00:17:07of life for us in moscow. our Russian
00:17:11forces struck a civilian evacuation center in Kramatorsk
00:17:15setting the facility a blaze. panic spread with workers at the
00:17:19facility saying the hub was being used to receive evacues and
00:17:23transfer them onward to Luzova in the
00:17:26neighboring hiv region and elsewhere in
00:17:29Ukraine. this was a transit hab. we were
00:17:33sending people further to lozova. evacuees were being brought.
00:17:37Here right now we have people from Droskivka who
00:17:41were supposed to leave, we're now going to try to send them
00:17:45safer
00:17:45places.
00:17:53Opus have just closed in regional elections in Germany's
00:17:57Mecklenburg, western Pomerania and the city state of
00:18:00Berlin. Exit poll show Chancelor Friedrich Mert
00:18:04ruling CDU party losing ground.
00:18:07both losing ground to to both parties further
00:18:11left and the far right. the AFD made gains
00:18:15in both states following up its best ever regional results in
00:18:19Eastern Germany last week. it marked the first time a far right party
00:18:23gained a majority any German state since the second world
00:18:26war. olrich breutner is a professor of
00:18:30European studies at Stanford University in Berlin. he believes that
00:18:34Chancelor Mcs will withstand this storm because "not
00:18:38all of Germany's problems are
00:18:40homegrown, on the one
00:18:44hand, any government, no matter if it's run by mats or
00:18:47by different party, that addresses the
00:18:51massive list of reforms, both
00:18:54domestically and the challenges from outside, would
00:18:58need to do unpopular things, because it is
00:19:01unpopular to cut expenses, to shift
00:19:05priorities, to make the country more. resilient, there
00:19:09are many, many things that are coming from
00:19:12outside, like high energy prices due to russians full-scale
00:19:16invasion in Ukraine or what is happening in Iran, so
00:19:20lot of
00:19:20it isn't homemade. If it would be so simple by
00:19:24replacing one head by another, and then Germany would
00:19:27sail into a brighter future, then we could do
00:19:31it, but we live a situation in which the
00:19:35problems don't go away by simply... placing a person who
00:19:39potentially communicates better, there's also a lot to blame
00:19:43him for why he has such low popularity
00:19:46rates, but I don't personally think that a there
00:19:50is candidate who currently would want to take his
00:19:53job, because as I said,
00:19:56it is not a mission in which you gain much, and on the
00:20:00other hand, it will be complicated to find enough support
00:20:04within a coalition, and Germany doesn't have majority. voting
00:20:08system, so it's not like a presidential system that the winner takes it
00:20:12all, you need to coordinate conflicting positions, and in
00:20:16the end you need a compromised candidate, and I currently don't see
00:20:20anyone doing it, so even if the result
00:20:23today will not be great for the CDU, it will certainly
00:20:27not be as devastating as two weeks ago in
00:20:31another part of East Germany, Mads will stay in
00:20:35office, I usually don't make bold. forecast, but in this case
00:20:39I think we won't see different chancellor in the coming
00:20:42weeks. Let's take a look at some other stories we're
00:20:46following this hour.
00:20:54Thousands of demonstrators have marched through the main avenues in Buenos Aires
00:20:58during the March of anger to protest the policies of President
00:21:01Xavier Mile. He has implemented aggressive measures to cut down
00:21:05government spending, slashing public subsidies, freezing public works
00:21:09and reorganizing state
00:21:11institutions. Venezuela has signed
00:21:15a memorandum of understanding with French oil and gas giant
00:21:19total energies. The deal could allow the global energy company to
00:21:22return to a country with the world's largest crude oil reserves after
00:21:26years of US sanctions. It is the latest a series of
00:21:30agreements with international energy companies and this comes as Karacas
00:21:34is seeking new investment in its oil
00:21:36industry. In Nigeria, Africa's biggest
00:21:39refinery has opened its doors to investors. Billionaire Alico
00:21:43Dangote is seeking to raise 1.6 billion
00:21:47US dollars in the continent's biggest initial public. and it's
00:21:51already drawing huge interest. has the
00:21:54story: a chance to own a
00:21:57peace of one of Africa's biggest businesses, shares
00:22:01in Aliko Dangode's giant oil refinery
00:22:05recently went on sale, giving Nigerians a
00:22:09stake a business that has already transformed the country's
00:22:12fuel market. now we are owning back our Nigerian oil,
00:22:16so I believe the group investing in that group is the... lifetime
00:22:20opportunity, being imagine being a part owner of
00:22:24something that is Nigerian that will grow, the
00:22:271.6 billion dollar share sale is the
00:22:30largest initial public offering in the African continent
00:22:34and in the history of Nigeria, it's also country's first
00:22:38fully digital IPO aimed at retail
00:22:41investors. Several investment apps
00:22:44crashed as people tried to buy a minimum of 10
00:22:48shares costing around on $40 by the end
00:22:52of day one we had cleared around 70% the backlog and by
00:22:56the start of business on day two we had cleared 100% the
00:22:59backlog and now we
00:23:02you know are good to go, we've increased our capacity just
00:23:05by massive orders of magnitude. Africa's
00:23:09richest man says the aim is to make ownership accessible
00:23:13to ordinary nigerians. now we're looking at what do we
00:23:17create, what do you want to really create, what you want to create is the
00:23:21likes of Amazon, the likes of Microsoft, why people bought
00:23:25these shares for next to nothing, and now those shares have
00:23:28become something big. The refinery has
00:23:32shaped Nigeria's fuel market since it began operation in
00:23:362024, helping the country that once relied
00:23:40heavily on imports to produce more of its own. It can
00:23:44process 700 thousand barrels of oil a day, with Dangode
00:23:48planning to more than double that. to 1.4 million barrels
00:23:51a day by 2029. the company also plans to
00:23:55launch a massive refinery plant of Kenya's coast,
00:23:59linking it to the East African market, but despite the
00:24:03excitement, investing is still out of reach for many
00:24:06Nigerians. we are trying to survive, it's a
00:24:10good development, but it's not for for the
00:24:14poor, for poor people like us, but if you have money you can
00:24:18invest in it, but for we, we are trying to
00:24:21survive, keep it going, the IPO values the
00:24:25refinery at around $49 billion dollars, more than
00:24:28twice what it cost to build, while Dangode is still set
00:24:32to control 87% the company, for investers
00:24:36buying now, the real question is if Dangode can
00:24:39deliver on his company's share
00:24:47people across africa still rely on wood and... charcoal
00:24:50exposing them to many health risks, but a Nairobi-based company is
00:24:54now using carbon finance to make electric stoves affordable.
00:24:58Hope Kirubi reports.
00:25:02Breakfast for Mary kavutha now starts with a press
00:25:06of a button. For this Kenyan Mother of
00:25:09two, the switch to electric induction cooking has
00:25:13slashed her daily fuel costs. The stove also allows
00:25:17her to prepare hot meals safer. and faster
00:25:21inside her home without the hazards of toxic smoke
00:25:25that contributes to about 85000
00:25:28debts every year on the continent. when i compare it
00:25:32with the charcoal it is cheaper because like a day when i was using the
00:25:36charcoal find that i'm using around about $1 us with the
00:25:40charcoal per day and with this one when i buy a token of
00:25:4480 us cents it lasts me to the second
00:25:47day to make clean cooking. alternatives
00:25:50accessible, manufacturers like barn use
00:25:54carbon finance and pay as you go plans to heavily
00:25:58subsidize upfront retail costs. the Nairobi
00:26:02based company says it has distributed more than
00:26:057.3 million stoves across 11 African
00:26:09countries. Build in computer chips, track cooking
00:26:13data in real time through GSM, allowing the
00:26:17company to sell verified carbon credits to international
00:26:20investors to fund the discount. Only way
00:26:24that clean cooking is going to scale on the continent is
00:26:28through carbon project finance. And
00:26:32so it's a... model, governments can earn revenue from it, we earn
00:26:35revenue, customers get an amazing product, they would never
00:26:39get unless they had that subsidy that's brought by carbon project
00:26:42finance. in June, Africa secured $900
00:26:46million dollars in clean cooking financial commitments,
00:26:50according to the international energy agency, but
00:26:54critics argue that building an entire green energy
00:26:58transition on volatile carbon markets posess a
00:27:02massive risk for the continent, if we depend
00:27:05holy on carbon credits to support the
00:27:09transition, it will be extremely slow,
00:27:13and it will not happen at the pace that we need it. the other
00:27:16issue for carbon market is before you can trade on the
00:27:20carbon market, you need to build the asset. back at Mary's
00:27:24home, her old charcoal stove sits outside
00:27:28next to piles of fuel still used by her neighbors.
00:27:32And while policy experts debate on the future of
00:27:36carbon finance, millions of families across the
00:27:40continent cannot afford the upfront costs needed
00:27:44to make the clean energy
00:27:52the news for now, headlines are
00:27:53next.
00:29:26the facts and opinions, these people are playing politics with
00:29:29public safety, the noise and the nuance, they all collide in the
00:29:33Nexus: there is nothing benying about illegal human smuggling. We look at the
00:29:37story, how it's being told, who benefits, what others are
00:29:40leaving out, and why? It's always the elites who ask for it and the ordinary people
00:29:44who pay for it. We're all you need to know, Nexus on TRT
