12:43 am
tiny fraction of iran's capabilities that have been unveiled thus far. watch for the details in this documentary. welcome back everyone, you're watching press tv world news. iran is dismissed as legally baseless findings of a un fact finding mission on the 2022 riots in the country. speaking a meeting the un human rights council in geneva, head of iran's high council for human rights said the so-called fact finding mission has a glaring lack of independence and impartiality, causing gabadi said mission is result of lobbing by some western countries, and the relevant report is... left it under pressure from those same countries. khadi babudi also slammed un for politicizing human
12:44 am

12:45 am
monopolistic control over the industry and paid only meger portion of the revenues to the iranian government. nationalization was call for independence. if you go back then, the iranians, the entire public realized that this move was not about economy, it was about independence, and go the the musaddiq movement was very popular within. "the entire world realized that it was about uh gaining independence from a colonial power that controlled the economy and from, mean based on the economy, control the political spec'. within iran, when the then government of musaddiq put the nationalizing of iran's oil its agenda in april 1951, acts of sabotage and conspiracy against the country were enhanced. the american british coup in august 1953 against musaddiq's government was part the plot. basically the british were plundering iranian natural resources and oil

president vladimir putin has warned nato against deploying troops to ukraine. this shortly after he secures a landslide victory. in russia's presidential elections, he says the conflict between russia and the military alliance will push the world to the verge of full scale world war ii. we discussed this with our guests earlier in our news review program. here's a playback. the russian president has issued a stern warning to the west over sending military troops and of ukraine, vladimir putin says a direct confrontation between russia and nato will push the world to the brink of a full scale world war ii. i think that anything is possible in the modern world, but i've already said this and it is clear everyone that this conflict between russia and nato will be just one step away from a full scale
12:48 am
of world war ii. i don't think anybody is interested in this. nato military are: present the're in ukraine, there's nothing good in this, firstly for them because they get killed in large numbers. putin made the remarks in the presser shortly after securing another six-year term in office in the biggest landslide victory in post soviet russian history. and the warning came in response to earlier statement by french president emmanuel macron who highlighted the necessity of western ground operations in ukraine at some point, commenting on the prospect. of peace talks with kiev, putin said moscow remains open to negotiations, but won't be lured into truth that would allow ukraine to rearm, he added that russian armed forces holy advantage on the battlefield as they have made advances in ukraine. well like to welcome my guests to this news review, jan
12:49 am
oberg, peace researcher and founder from transnational out of sweden. and christoph horstell author and politician, your thoughts on do you really think, i mean we heard what uh uh the french, well what macron had said, do you really think that europe would actually consider putting troops on the ground in ukraine? well, there was a report in new york times, i think a week or so ago, which said the cia has been in ukraine the last 10 years and... "the germans happened to reveal that the british were there to help with using british artillery, so uh, yes, it doesn't mean thousands of troops in uniform ready to to battle russian forces, but the question i ask myself at this moment, which is the most dangerous in europe since 1945,
12:50 am
is how on earth did we get here? nato was..." according or is, according to its own perception of itself, defensive alliance that has promised us since 1949 to make peace in europe, and now it's a major actor thanks to the expansion of nato, which is in contravention to all the promises given given to michael gobatjav, now we are there that the 11th party to this expansion, ukraine, and the 30 years nato has been around in ukraine. and the kutan 2014 orchestrated by the us is bringing us to something like you know, it's not the same, but i mean if i say the cuban missile crisis, we must remember that russia. will be neighbor to or part of if things go madly wrong in europe, whereas the united states is far away from that? well, christoph, your taken, looking on the
12:51 am
russian side, i mean, basically, it's a matter of uh, russia's own survival, um, and it does not seem that vladimir putin will back down or can back down, so and he has warn of possible world war ii nato does not back down, your thoughts on this, your overall assessment. president putin of russia is very much justified to rethreaten nato with nuclear war. the reason is very simple: nato's combined conventional force is so much stronger than russia, that russia in the end may face, in case of a war, a situation where the... only way to preserve some kind of russian independence will be triggering nuclear war by using nuke arms first, that is
12:52 am
very, very dangerous situation, and nato is crazy to push it so far that this happens and we can only understand that if we understand the deeply criminal mind within nato, aggressive as it is, they deep... financial crisis which washington faces, they are bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt, and the only way to save that is to control the vast natural resources of big russia, so this is why they want to bring russia down, they are not anti russian, they are not anti- anything, they are not anti iran, they just want to control the natural resources, because they are bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt, that is the real situation, and that is... putin's fight, that he wants to preserve sovereignty and freedom of his people in the face of this money driven western aggressiveness. all right, and on
12:53 am
that note, i thank both of you uh for being with me, jean oberg, uh, peace researcher and founder transnational live out of sweden, and christopher horstell author and politician out of berlin, and thank you viewers so much for. with us a news review and thank you so much for staying with us right here at press tv. welcome back everyone you're watching press tv world news in south korea, the third summit for democracy has begun. the us secretary of state and south korean president spoke of efforts to ensure democracy for future generations. nearby though, pro-palestine protesters slamed the us. israel for the ongoing genocide in gaza. frank smith reports from the south korean capital. south korea this week hosts the
12:54 am
third us initiative of the summit for democracy. u.s. secretary of state, anthony blincan suggested america could lead the world toward democratic ideals, lacking elsewhere. vitilizing democracy will also requires to shape a technological future that's inclusive, that's right respecting, directed at driving progress. people's lives, as authoritarian and repressive regimes deploy technologies to undermine democracy and human rights, we need to ensure that technology sustains and supports democratic values and norms, corald away from the venue, activists were joined by a south korean law maker to question washington's and soul's credibility, particularly in light of us support of israel's ongoing genocide of palestinians in gaza. since yun sokyul came into power, our democracy index has fallen by 19 points and we're turning into a very backward country in terms of democracy. the united states, the enabler of the massacre,
12:55 am
israel, the perpetrator of the massacre, and south korea are causing the endless decline of democracy. activists say the us and south korea have the blood of tens of thousands of innocents on their hands through the provision of weapons to israel and failure to pressure tel aviv to end its gen. it's not the time for the south korean government or the us government who are complicit in israel's genocide to discuss democracy. instead, the korean government should urge the us and israel to immediately stop the genocide, lift the blockade of the gaza strip and end israel's colonial military occupation of palestine. while rift has appeared in us support of israel, concern is mounting that the israeli military will increase attacks on the already besaged rafa where palestinian. await humanitarian aid amid reports of starvation, like here around the world can be found supporters of a free palestine protesting against israel's genocide in gaza.

12:58 am
it's a special time for britain's 3 million muslims. the fasting hours are long up to 20 hours a day, but the physical and spiritual rewards are worth it. ramadan has been a fantastic time uh, in sense, in the sense that it's about spiritually connecting with the law of the heavens and the earth and detoxing your bodies. ramadan is the month of prayer in the quran where muslims do their best to cultivate willpower, discipline and
12:59 am
self-restraint, but ramadan. isn't just about self-sacrifice, it's about sharing food with your family and friends, it's about increasing solidarity with fellow muslims, and it's about showcasing the beauty of islam to the non-muslim majority living in the uk. being involved in a community helped me to understand the muslim community even more and to be able to share that with my community back in the states.
