00:00:16Iran's of army warns of
00:00:17an imminent US attack in the coming days, the central military
00:00:21command says it will
00:00:29on the program. As Israeli attacks continue on
00:00:32Gaza, a group of university students reach milestone
00:00:36that seemed out of reach, graduating after three years of war
00:00:40and destruction. The United Russia
00:00:44of party is on course to win the country's
00:00:46of parliamentary elections as Ukraine launches a massive attack across the
00:00:49country. And German Chancellor Fredrik
00:00:53Merca CDU fails to win a state parliament
00:00:57election, the worst defeat in 77 years.
00:01:09a
00:01:17of
00:01:22Iran's military says it has received information that the United
00:01:25States is preparing another attack warning that any new strikes would
00:01:29trigger. sustained retaliation against American bases and interests
00:01:33across the region. At the same time, Tehran says it has sent Washington
00:01:37new set of conditions for restarting negotiations, including the
00:01:41release of frozen Iranian assets and an end to the US
00:01:44naval blockade. Iran also says
00:01:47of the straight of Hormus will remain closed until its conditions are
00:01:50met as President Donald Trump prepares to meet Gulf leaders in New
00:01:54York this
00:01:58a week.
00:02:12in
00:02:15of
00:02:30"there will be no possibility of
00:02:31a return to the previous negotiation framework or to
00:02:35reopen the straight of
00:02:38of
00:02:39of hormos. Raed Jarrar is the policy director at democracy in the
00:02:43Arab world now. He says Israel's role is affecting Trump's judgment
00:02:47and argues that there's no question the US should reach an agreement with
00:02:50Iran. What we see
00:02:53of is a manifestation
00:02:55of of the Israeli role in affecting President
00:02:59Trump's..." judgment, because from a United States
00:03:02interest, there is
00:03:05of no question on whether or not the United
00:03:07in States should reach to an agreement with Iran, that is in
00:03:11the US interest, to reach to a comprehensive agreement with
00:03:15Iran as soon as possible, and get US assets
00:03:19and troops and interests out of harm way, harm's
00:03:22way, unfortunately what we see every now and then is
00:03:26that Israeli prime minister Netanyahu successfully...
00:03:30lobbying the United States to increase its
00:03:33a pressure on Iran
00:03:34of or even attack Iran in the last few
00:03:38hours and couple of days there are even
00:03:41speculations about an impending attack
00:03:44in either on Yemen or Iran proper, it seems like the
00:03:48US is sending more assets to the region and sending uh
00:03:52notifications and warnings to US citizens in the region, it doesn't make any
00:03:56sense, that's absolutely not within the United States interest.
00:04:00escalate war there, so I would say there is flip flopping
00:04:03going on, but I think the flip flopping comes
00:04:07from the Israel factor. President Trump is very
00:04:10worried about domestic
00:04:13politics that are linked
00:04:16a to the Iran war or affected by the Iran war,
00:04:20so don't forget that in the United States usually foreign policy is not
00:04:24that big on US voters
00:04:27in minds, but what's big on US voters minds is... to the gas
00:04:30station and seeing that diesel is for
00:04:34in of $6 a gallon and gas is four or $5 a gallon, that is something
00:04:38that
00:04:39of of Americans can see, and they are connecting the dots to the
00:04:43gas prices being linked to the war of aggression that
00:04:47President Trump waged on Iran with no congressional approval and
00:04:51no UN security council resolution authorizing it, so
00:04:55it's Trump's war that is
00:04:57of leading the prices up, prices at the grocery store. are up, interest
00:05:01rates in the United States are up, as of
00:05:04a last week, that's the first time that interest rates go up, and this means
00:05:08that people will want to be able to afford to buy a new home,
00:05:11new car, so the economy is really suffering and that will
00:05:15definitely affect president Trump and the Republican party
00:05:19very negatively during the upcoming elections, so some what
00:05:23we're seeing now is President Trump is trying to do some damage
00:05:26control to control that narrative and the
00:05:30damage, some of it is him actually losing control over
00:05:34what's going on and freaking out and just saying things
00:05:38that he thinks will work that day without a comprehensive
00:05:41long-term. strategy or or like a PR
00:05:45strategy that he has to deal with the situation. Yemen's
00:05:49ansarullah huthis continue to trade fire and accusations with
00:05:53Saudi Arabia. The Iran-backed group claims that in the past
00:05:5724 hours the Saudis launched 28 strikes across the
00:06:00country. It comes after the Houthies said they had attacked the Saudi
00:06:04Capital with missiles and drones on Saturday. The US has
00:06:08issued security alert advising that its citizens in
00:06:12Saudi needs special permission to travel to the cities of Taif
00:06:16and Yambo. Israely war planes have
00:06:19bombed several locations in southern Lebanon. They targeted
00:06:23the towns of Bani Hayan and Alcantara in the Marjayun district
00:06:27in the country's south. nearly 9,00 people have been killed in Israeli
00:06:31attacks on Lebanon since 2023 and more than 1 million
00:06:35Lebanese have been displaced by those Israeli
00:06:37attacks. An Israeli strike a
00:06:41civilian vehicle in Gaza city has killed at least one person, this
00:06:45raised the death toll on Saturday alone to five people, including people
00:06:49killed in other attacks across the enclave in Jabalya and
00:06:53Musairat. It is the latest Israeli violation to the
00:06:56seasfire signed with Hamas in October last year, more than
00:06:591,300 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since the
00:07:03agreement. For almost
00:07:07three years, college graduation was milestone Gaza
00:07:11students could only. imagine, now they are finally
00:07:14taking the stage to be awarded their degrees.
00:07:18Ashraf Shanan has
00:07:20more. For these students in Gaza,
00:07:24graduation is moment that once seemed out of reach.
00:07:28The ceremony comes after nearly three years of Israel's genocidal
00:07:32war, years marked by displacement,
00:07:35interrupted education and profound personal
00:07:38loss. More than 63 university buildings have been.
00:07:43destroyed while nearly 1400 university students have been killed during
00:07:47the war, yet these students have made
00:07:50it to the end their
00:07:52studies. being a mother and a
00:07:56student at the same time during a war of extermination is not easy. lost
00:08:00many members of my family, including my siblings, but i held to
00:08:03hope. i continued my journey and kept going, even during the most difficult
00:08:07moments the war. four students across Gaza
00:08:11continuing their...
00:08:42means more than completing college or university, it is reminder
00:08:46their perseverance in the face of Israel's
00:08:49brutalities. life is
00:08:53returning once again and universities are trying to come back to life through
00:08:57their graduates. today life is returning withour
00:09:00students. around 1,500 graduates from across the gaza
00:09:04strip are sharing this moment of joy. as you can see, the
00:09:08joy is everywhere because gaza loves life and our
00:09:11students will... contribute
00:09:13to rebuilding their homeland. The students named the graduating
00:09:17class, the Phoenix, a symbol, they associate with
00:09:20Gaza and the resilience of its people.
00:09:24Israel has systematically denied students the right to
00:09:27education. during Israelidal war on Gaza, over
00:09:3190,00 college students lost access to higher
00:09:42Erdogan has arrived in New York to attend the 81st session the
00:09:46United Nations General Assembly. President Erdogan has was
00:09:50welcomed by a large crowd in front the Turkish House. Our
00:09:53diplomatic correspondent Andrew Hopkins as
00:09:56more. He's expected to address the
00:10:00United Nations General Assembly high level week
00:10:04on Tuesday. This is a week when all the leaders of all the
00:10:07193 countries which are members the United Nations
00:10:11come here they make. speeches, they talk about the issues that are
00:10:15important to them, what are the problems and how they should all be dealt
00:10:19with. now another part of this week is that these leaders who attend get
00:10:22to have head to head bilater. meetings with some the other
00:10:26leaders as well, and president is no exception to
00:10:30that, we're not sure of his exact movements at the
00:10:33moment, except for one, which looks pretty likely, because the
00:10:37US ambassador to Turkey Tombarak has said he expects a
00:10:41meeting on the sidelines between president Erdogan and President Trump and
00:10:45that's going to, I think arouse quite a bit bit of interest, not just
00:10:49in Turkey, but also
00:10:51in the international community, because these two countries have two big
00:10:55militaries in NATO, and yet the United States has
00:10:58imposed sanctions on the Turkish Defense
00:11:02industry, and there is a will, a sort of motivation
00:11:06between the two countries, now I spoke to, I've spoken to officials from both
00:11:09countries, and they want to get rid these sanctions as soon as possible, so
00:11:13that they can resume this uh cooperation in the months and the
00:11:17years ahead, and that's something I think a lot of people will be looking at when that
00:11:21meeting takes place to see whether there's any movement. on that
00:11:25issue uh aside from that uh there's also likely to
00:11:29be a meeting involving the president at the Turkish American Business
00:11:33Council, which is regular annual event when he comes here,
00:11:37and there's also a high-level meeting organized by the UN
00:11:40secretary general Antonio Gutierez um, which is
00:11:44about the issue of climate change,
00:11:46and of course the Turkish government, Turkia is going to be
00:11:49hosting the UN's climate change summit Cop 31 in
00:11:53Antalia later.
00:11:55this
00:12:00year. German chancellor
00:12:04Fredric Murtz has suffered another major electoral setback.
00:12:08Exit poles show his conservative CDU won just
00:12:114.9% in Macklinburg, Western
00:12:14Pomarania. It's worst state results since
00:12:171949, while the far right AFD finished
00:12:21first. Mtz called the results disaster, but says his government will.
00:12:25continue with its reform
00:12:27agenda. In
00:12:30Berlin, the left party's Turkish German lead
00:12:33candidate Elif is on track to become the
00:12:37capital's next mayor. The party won around a quarter the vote
00:12:40ahead of chancellor Frederic CDU, while the far right AFD
00:12:44also made gains there. Alp would still need coalition
00:12:48partners to form a
00:12:50government.
00:12:55vision won today, our shared vision of an affordable Berlin for all
00:12:59people, regardless
00:13:00of where they are from, regardless of what they believe, regardless of who they love and
00:13:04regardless of what they earn.
00:13:07Rich Brockner is a professor of European studies at Stanford University in
00:13:11Berlin, he says the scale of reforms Germany needs would make
00:13:15any government governing party unpopular with
00:13:17voters. The massive list
00:13:21of reforms both domestically and
00:13:25challenges from outside would need to do
00:13:28unpopular things that an open
00:13:31society and a system in which you can freely say what you
00:13:35want would lead to pretty bad
00:13:39support rates for whoever is in power, because it is
00:13:43unpopular to cut expenses, to shift
00:13:46priorities, to make the country more resilient, there
00:13:50are many, many things that are coming from
00:13:54outside like high energy prices due to Russian's full-scale
00:13:57invasion in Ukraine or what is happening in Iran, so
00:14:01lot of
00:14:02it isn't homemade, but the previous government
00:14:05also post boned investment which
00:14:09now pile up and make it extremely complicated to
00:14:12finance all these necessary infrastructure investments
00:14:16to become strategically more autonomous from the United
00:14:19States, to deal with the competitiveness problems with
00:14:23China, so there's a long..." list, it's kind of a perfect storm that
00:14:27if
00:14:27it would be one crisis after the other, a government could
00:14:31potentially handle it, but if you struggle with six or
00:14:34seven major challenges at once, you do need to
00:14:38do unpopular things and that fires back, it would be so
00:14:42simple by replacing one head by another, and then
00:14:45Germany would sail into a brighter future,
00:14:49then we could do it, but we live a situation in
00:14:53which the problems don't... go away by simply replacing a
00:14:57person who potentially communicates better. there's also
00:15:00lot to blame him for, why he has such low
00:15:04popularity
00:15:21you if you think, sorry,
00:15:26was was actually right there, sorry bner was right there when he
00:15:29said that you have to do uncomfortable things to do
00:15:33reforms, and of course if you're that
00:15:36unpopular... 'then you're not going to get voted in again, is he
00:15:40right that these difficult reforms need to be
00:15:43made? yeah, and we are talking now about the federal
00:15:46level where obviously lot of reforms are necessary, the coalition
00:15:50between the social democrats and the CDU CSU has
00:15:54started to come up with some reforms, I'm wondering whether the
00:15:57outcomes the elections in Mclman and in
00:16:01Berlin really how much they have to do with the federal level,
00:16:05they differ ver'. ways
00:16:07and so there are local, regional problems also
00:16:11playing role, but mainly in m in eastern
00:16:15germany, i think so
00:16:17the reputation and the sentiment towards Berlin and the
00:16:21reforms the government, they played a role here, not so much in Berlin,
00:16:25I would say right, so even if the issues are
00:16:29maybe not mainly about the federal issues, does it
00:16:33hurt the chancellor a federal level,
00:16:36the chancelor? of this whole country, yeah, it
00:16:39definitely has negative impact on the
00:16:43coalition, and we see this already, my chancellor merits
00:16:47was surprisingly quick after the first kind
00:16:50of notice how the outcome is looking like
00:16:54to say, no, i stay in the in my job, i will continue, we need
00:16:58to move for reforms and
00:17:00so on, this one's also a guesture internally, because there is lot
00:17:04of rumor in the party, and so he has very... difficult
00:17:08kind of position and I i'm not really sure how long he will
00:17:12really survive uh at this moment there is it's a catastrophe
00:17:16actually happening for one that the the party never happened before the
00:17:19CDU is not represented in the regional in the
00:17:22provincial parliament so that's really something you and I
00:17:26think so this has repercussions in Berlin also the
00:17:30CDU lost dramatically and so it's
00:17:34a bad day for the CDU but it's also another good day or
00:17:37all uh for other parties, the only big winner in both
00:17:41cases seems to me the alternative for Germany, very much so in
00:17:45in Berlin, they didn't live up to
00:17:49the expectation, but still a city state to get like more than
00:17:5215% is quite an outstanding result we
00:17:56haven't seen before, and this tells a bit about the dynamic in
00:18:00german politics, do outsiders have
00:18:04justification to feel a little nervous when a German fire right? party
00:18:08does this well? yeah, not not only
00:18:11outsiders, actually, I would say even the majority of chas,
00:18:15because hasn't so far made majority,
00:18:19but even inside Germany, it's a lot of concerns, there's no
00:18:23doubt about it's a radical party, particularly in
00:18:27in the east, even in the west, there are differences between the various
00:18:31branches the alternative for Germany, but still is an extremist
00:18:34writing party, and it reminds under and and a bad
00:18:38history of Germany and but at the same time there are voters who go
00:18:42for it, that's a reality, and the more established parties
00:18:46have to deal with that, they need to find a way to get
00:18:49voters back into their camp, and this will be the challenge or not
00:18:53only for the next couple of weeks, but also for the next couple of months, there's the WB
00:18:57Yates poem things fall apart, the center cannot hold, may anary is
00:19:01losed upon the world, is that an exaggeration or are
00:19:05we are we seeing? a trend that
00:19:09might be difficult to reverse here, we just rewind not too long
00:19:13ago, Angela Merkel being a symbol
00:19:16of everything centrest, not only for Germany, but
00:19:19also for the continent, for the world a way, she was this
00:19:23almost concrete center, and now we're seeing on the far right and the
00:19:27far left, things are rising up with
00:19:31voters, albeit a local level, but it's an interesting
00:19:34indication, and the center is... out what does that say
00:19:38about the country, the continent and the
00:19:41trends? i think that's a very good and
00:19:45correct observation, we see the center is losing
00:19:48out, we see in particularly the two big parties of center, center
00:19:52right, let say the christian conservative parties, they are losing
00:19:56ground in germany but also in other parts of europe, think about France,
00:20:00think about the UK, there
00:20:02are a lot of other examples where this conservatives are gone actually in
00:20:05this regard in Germany. still alive, but they are
00:20:09losing, and since the longer time
00:20:11the social democrats are losing in many many parts of
00:20:15Europe, not in all, we see just the outcome the elections in Sweden, we
00:20:18see an exemption in in Denmark to some degree, but
00:20:22then they also adapted lot of witing policies when it comes to
00:20:26migration issues, so there is a loss in the center and and more
00:20:30polarization from left to the right, and the extremes, and this tells a little bit
00:20:34about the uncertainty of voters, don't feel
00:20:38represented, it's a complex world and they go for simple
00:20:42under complex answers and that's the case in Germany, but another parts of Europe
00:20:46too, and to the point of Germany given its coalition politics, is it going to
00:20:49be very? very difficult for people who are
00:20:53diametrically opposed on so many different things about the very
00:20:57foundational issues in life on on immigration and how to run
00:21:00a society, is it going to be very difficult for them to get into alliance and work
00:21:04together? yeah, it's getting much more complicated with more
00:21:07parties overall represented in the parliament, i think the most
00:21:11prominent case now is an election that happened to weeks ago in
00:21:15saxant where it's not clear
00:21:18how do... how government can be formed at all, because there is
00:21:22still this firewall with the AFD, the all the other parties
00:21:26would need to come together to form a very, very narrow
00:21:30majority in the parliament that will not be very stable, so this
00:21:33indicates is has become much more difficult to come up
00:21:37with
00:21:37a stable, forward looking, coherent governments and
00:21:41that's true on the provincial level, and maybe
00:21:45also get true on the federal level when
00:21:58ruling United Russia party is on track for a comfortable victory in the country's
00:22:02parliamentary election. Partial results show it's one just more
00:22:05than 57% the votes. President Vladimir Putin has
00:22:09presented the election as a test of support for the war in Ukraine.
00:22:13Critics say genuine opposition has largely been excluded from the political
00:22:16system, while the Kremlin argues national unity entitle.
00:22:20controls are necessary during the
00:22:22conflict, i
00:22:26probably won't be saying anything original here, i just want
00:22:30the people who have come to power to finally restore peace and a
00:22:34calm life for us, that is the main most
00:22:37important thing today, hope for the
00:22:41best, hope
00:22:44that the situation will eventually stabilize, that peace will
00:22:47finally come and that our...
00:23:00well we have now the data from the central election commission which suggest
00:23:04that these parliamentary elections have actually exceeded the
00:23:08turnout from the previous years, more than
00:23:1256% of Russians showed up at the polling stations or cost their vallot
00:23:16online, this is the highest number than in...
00:23:202021, in 2016, 203 or
00:23:231993, so that does show a
00:23:27lot in terms the people's desire to cost
00:23:31their bat and exercise their right, we also hearing that in Moscow the
00:23:35turnoun has increased to 51%,
00:23:38and this voting has been preciding indeed in the so-called new
00:23:42territorys of frash of Donis, Lugansk, Zaparishia and Herson,
00:23:46and this is where the turnout has also been very high, more than 70.
00:23:50percent to all of those territories, we also hear in that
00:23:53voting is over in some the overseas
00:23:56territories in foreign countries where the voting was taking
00:24:00place at the ambassis of Russia, and uh the Russian
00:24:04authorities are saying that what Ukraine tried to do was to derail
00:24:08these elections by launching the large scale attack against
00:24:12Moscow, the Moscow region, the latest numbers suggest that up to
00:24:152,0 Ukrainian drows were intercepted over the past

00:24:22do is to increase their own attacks on Kief in respond

00:24:58Al Dangote is seeking to raise 1.6 billion
00:25:01US dollars in the continent's biggest initial public offering and
00:25:05it's already drawing huge interest. has the
00:25:09story: a chance to own a
00:25:13piece of one of africa's biggest businesses, shares in
00:25:17alico, dangood day's giant oil. finary
00:25:20recently went on sale, giving Nigerians a
00:25:24stake a business that has already transformed the country's fuel
00:25:28market. now
00:25:29we are owning back our Nigerian oil, so I believe the group,
00:25:33investing in that group is lifetime opportunity,
00:25:37being imagine being a part owner of something that is Nigerian that will
00:25:41grow, the 1.6 billion dollars share
00:25:45sale is the largest initial public offering in the
00:25:48African continent. and in the history of Nigeria. It's
00:25:52also country's first fully digital IPO aimed at
00:25:56retail investors. Several investment apps
00:26:00crashed as people tried to buy and... minimum of 10
00:26:03shares costing around $40, by the end
00:26:07of day one we had cleared around 70% the backlog and
00:26:11by the start of business on day two we had cleared 100% the
00:26:15backlog and now we you know are good to go, we
00:26:18increased our capacity just by you massive orders
00:26:22of magnitude. Africa's richest man says the aim is to
00:26:26make ownership accessible to ordinary nigerians.
00:26:30now we're looking at what do we create, what do you want to really
00:26:33create? what you want to create is the likes of
00:26:37Amazon, the likes of Microsoft, why people bought this shares for
00:26:41next to nothing, and now those shares have become something
00:26:45big, the refinery has shaped Nigeria's fuel
00:26:49market since it began operation in 2024, helping
00:26:53the country that once relied heavily on imports to
00:26:56produce more of its own, it can process 700,00
00:27:00barrels of oil a day with Dangode planning to more than
00:27:04double that to 1.4 million barrels a day by
00:27:072029. The company also plans to launch a massive
00:27:11refinery plant of Kenya's coast linking it to the East
00:27:15African market, but despite the excitement,
00:27:19investing is still out of reach for many
00:27:22Nigerians. We are trying to survive, it's a
00:27:25good development, but it's not for for the
00:27:29poor for poor people like us, but 'if you have money you can
00:27:33invest in it, but for we we are trying to survive.
00:27:37keep it going, the IPO values the refinery at
00:27:41around $49 billion dollars, more than twice what it cost to
00:27:45build, while Dangode is still set to control
00:27:4887% the company, for investors buying now,
00:27:52the real question is if Dangode can deliver on his
00:27:56company's share
00:30:16You're watching TRT World, I'm ImranGarta, reminder of our main headlines,
00:30:20the Iranian military says it has received information that the US has
00:30:23decided to resume attacks on the country, it's warned that
00:30:27any new strikes would trigger sustained retaliation against American
00:30:31bases and interests across the region. Tehran meanwhile says it
00:30:35has sent Washington new set of conditions for restarting
00:30:38negotiations that includes the release of frozen Iranian assets
00:30:42and ending the US naval
00:30:44blockade. Our positions
00:30:48are completely clear, rational and
00:30:50non-negotiable. Our messages and conditions have been
00:30:54conveyed explicitly to the other side through
00:30:57intermediaries, and the enemy knows full well that
00:31:01the path of deception and The unilateral imposition is
00:31:04closed.
