Honoring slain journalist sharin abu akla, the prominent palestinian american journalist who was assassinated by Israeli Forces last year, women journalists came together in the northeastern city of mashad to send a strong message that womens full participation in public and political life is essential in addressing the multiple crises mankind is confronting in todays world.

That we can make it happen. An important issue that was also highlighted by the iranian president s wife, was the key note speaker at the Panel Discussion of the festival, as well as the president himself, held a meeting with the visiting journalists. In different arenas in this media war, where there are different versions of the same stories, it is important to give voice to journalists who are telling the true stories. In many cases, strong and brave women are doing exactly that. And the participants are already on board. Just as mrs. The president s wife explained today, we live in a world where there is hejamony on news and certain news outlets tell the entire world what the problems are, and what the solutions should be, and that has become a norm. In this venue, you know, we have a situation where we can hear the voices of the voiceless from around the world, basically, we have people from. Uh you know the latin america, we have people from africa, from asia from america, so here its a Good Opportunity to start a project that can break that norm, basically that colonialized norm, we are looking forward to new future, just being here is already one step ahead because you get to network and you get to meet different people from different parts of the country here in iran and also maybe other parts of you know the world, i think that the. Is invitation to begin to think differently and to think more collaboratively. How that happens . I think there are a number of ways that can happen. Um, one of them can be to sort of um use uh social media as a means of creating a shared voice in a simple way, even just using a hashtag. Met with the support of huge number of independent journalists, the secretariat announced that this festival will be held every two years. The horshed media festival is an effort to bring together women journalists from across the world.

The democratic peoples republic of korea has criticized the United States for describing pyonyang and certain countries as threats in its strategy on countering weapons of mass destruction. In a statement the dprks Defense Ministry spokesperson called the move a political provocation against sovereign states. He added the country will counter the us. Strategy with the quote most overwhelming and sustained response. Last week the dprk adopted a constitutional amendment that secures acceleration of Nuclear Weapons production, in the face of western provocations a pentagons wmd strategy statement which came out last week has criticized the dprk as a quote persistent threat, russia as acute threat and china as a pacing threat. The pentagon has released the wmd document for the First Time Since 2014. Political infighting in the us house of representatives has plungeed congress into chaos. The Lower Chamber has voted to remove speaker Kevin Mccarthy. On this vote, the yays are 2 16, the news are 2 10. The resolution is adopted. Without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table, the office of speaker of the house of the united. United states house of representatives is hereby declared vacant. The republican was dismissed in a historic vote triggered by rare challenge from his own Party Republican representative. Matt gates filed motion late monday to force vote on removing mccarthy. Gates and handful of allies criticized mccarthy for relying on democratic votes to pass a temporary funding measure that headed off a partial. Government shut down, he launched a skating attack on mccarthy in his house speech. Mr. Speaker, my friend from oklahoma says that my colleagues and i who dont support Kevin Mckarthy would plunge the house and the country into chaos. Chaos is speaker mccarthy. Chaos is somebody who we cannot trust with their word. The one thing that the white house, democrats, and many of us on the conservative side of the Republican Caucus would argue is that the thing we have in common, Kevin Mccarthy said something to all of us at one point or another that he didnt really mean and never intended to live up to. So some republicans have also expressed frustration over deal mccarthy made with President Biden earlier this year to cap spending levels in return for raising the debt ceiling. Tuesdays vote marked the first time in us history is. Speaker has been ousted. Meanwile Kevin Mcarthy spoken to media representatives after he was voted out of his job, mccarthy has blasted what he called institutional problems. In us congress, you know whats interesting, everybody sitting there, in todays world, if youre sitting in congress and you took a gamble to make sure government was still open, and eight people can throw you out a speaker, and the democrats who said they wanted to keep government open, i think you got a real divide, i think you got a real institutional problem, my fear is the institution. Fell today, because you cant do the job if eight people, you have 94 of or 96 of your entire conference, but eight people can partner with the whole other side, how do you govern . Well, the former us House Speaker was referring to the eight to hard right republicans who joined 208 democrats to austin. Mccarthy described them as angry and chaotic, he added that he wont attempt to reclaim his post as House Speaker. Mckarthy did not say whether he plans to remain a member of congress. Press tvs colin camples joining us now from washington. Uh, colin, its great to have you with us. So uh, the first House Speaker uh to be uh, austed in us history. Kevin mccarthy has been voted out, talk to us uh. About what led to this auster, what are the repercussions uh of of this auster as well, what are the Key Takeaways uh from it . Well, we have to remember that mccarthy won his position, or now his former position by very slim margin, he was always going to be controlled by the most extreme members of his party, because one of the stipulations that was made for him to become speaker of the house was that only one member of. The house could uh vote in opposition or could call vote in opposition to his leadership which is what happened with matt gates uh is part of what many considered to be the maga movement, the make America Great again movement, which has been uh fueled and supported by former president donald trump, so once he mccarthy made it the deal with democrats to keep the government going for another 45 days, uh gates felt like he was is overstepping his boundary and called a vote to remove him to vacate the office of speaker of the house, which he did quite successfully, in fact, so the ramifications here now is that the house will not be working for the next several days, it indicates broken government and the us, they plan to have uh vote next week as to who will replace mccarthy, some believe that steve scalece is the next person in line, other people have talked about jim jordan. But it remains to be seen who will replace mccarthy. Meanwhile mccarthy has said he will not run for speaker of the house again, but he will probably stay in congress. He still has a large support in california, he still has lot of people who support him overall, even though he was pushed out as speaker. Itll be very interesting, however, the temperament and the environment of congress will be interesting, while mccarthy stays in office is a. Member of congress, but not as speaker of the house. Itll also be interesting because of the relationship between republicans and democrats in the house where democrats were not willing to bail mccarthy out of any trouble, because the fighting was very much like a civil war within the Republican Party themselves. So now it remains to be seen with the republicans Still Holding majority in the house, how they will govern, despite an obvious demonstration of two. Within their party, all right, thanks lot, colin press joining us from washington. Moving on, germanys military assistance to ukraine under growing criticism. Protesters have demonstrated in public display disconent with the arms supplies to kiev. The rallies were held in the city. Of berlin and munich, the demonstrator said germanys decision to send more weaponry to ukraine risk escalation of the conflict with russia, some protesters demanded the germany pull out of the nato military alliance, some said the United States is benefiting from germanys intervention in the russiaukraine war. Im mainly concerned with crisis intervention and resolving this Armed Conflict on the one hand, and the other hand, of course, there are trends in. Militarization of germany, after all, from purely political point of view, germany is right in the middle and america is shamelessly taking advantage of that too, using citizens through media policy to perhaps ultimately used them for their own goals and ukrainian citizens were also exploited. Germany is among western countries that have provided ukraine with a wide range of weapons since the war erupted in february 2022. Russia has repeatedly said the influx of western arms will only prolong the war and add to the suffering of ukrainians. Moscow has also warned the west that such arms transfers risk triggering a direct conflict with nato. ми зацікавлені у локалізації виробницtва tехніки необхідні нашому захисtу tа кожної із tих передових оборонних сисtем, які викорисtовуюtься нашими воїнами і даюtь сьогодні. The military manufacturers, and that is determining that. Finally, the truth is out in the open. Normalizing war profiteering, zelensky style, and many would argue that was one of the goals of the u. S. In his proxy war with russia, except now, the ukrainian president has turned ukrainian. Into proxies of the military, Industrial Complex as well as the pentagon. Zelenskis sentiment was related while kiev hosted 252 quotes Defense Industry corporations from 30 different countries. Zelenski urged the war profiteers to open factories in ukraine to cut out the middleman. His speech included phrases like the defense Industrial Complex, arsenal of the free world. And a special economic regime for the defense Industrial Complex. Consider what the ukrainian president is promoting, award to the military manufacturers to show prospective buyers and investors how various military equipment can rip apart human bodies. In order to profit from death and destruction. These are the gruesome stats so far, over 27, ukrainian casualties. Meanwhile, russias military casualties have approached 300,000. The russian numbers dwarf the ukrainian figures, which officials put a closest 7000 killed and between 100 to 120,000 wounded. Well, the ukraine war may be experiencing setback and uh. That is the funding coming from the us in order not to have a Us Government shut down a bill was passed that excluded ukraine assistance for ukraines president zelenski that may be bad news, but western arms manufacturers are keen to set up shop inside of ukraine to manufacture their products like germany and the uk. Perhaps like norther time, the war in ukraine which russia calls a special military. Operation finds itself at a crossroads. The bill is passed and with that objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. Us Congress Just passed an 11th hour funding bill that excluded aid for ukraine. This means the us president s hands are tied in order to keep the aid flowing, at least for now. To make matters worse, the pentagon has said theres only 5. 2 billion dollars left to provide military support for ukraine. Additionally, they count that the us used for a longterm program to modernize the Ukrainian Army and to increase its compatibility with nato, is empty. On the surface, that may sound like a bad thing, but if you think about it, thats great news. Maybe the war may come to an end soon. That, however, depends on who you ask. The eu Foreign Policy chief is not too happy about the us turn of events. Our support to ukraine not only continues. But increases or at least by the time being the proposition on the table shows that we want to continue in increasing it, and to tell the truth, we were surprised by the fact that the last minute agreement has taken a decision that we have to regret deeply, europe is reluctant for this war to end, it has believed the us line that russia poses an existential threat to it. This is part of the reason why the uk has announced that it will send military instructors to the country. It will also transfer training and production of military equipment to ukraine. Uh with you uh we feel um your pain. There is one important fact behind this announcement which was made by the uk defense secretary. The important point that the uk will send military instructors to ukraine all to happen on ukrainian soil. Theres an american saying that says war is racket and the us is big five is very well aware of that. They are bowing general dynamics, lockied. Split more than 150 billions in pentagon contracts annually, thats nearly 20 of the total pentagon budget. Ever since the ukraine war began, they have reaped huge profits and in turn, have contributed to the us economy. Europe is following suit, and why shouldnt they . Their economies are not doing that well, and like the us, they want a piece of the pie. Weapons in ukraine in order to make up for some of the funds that they sent there. We mentioned the uk, germanys military manufacturer, rain metal has also announced that it will operate a Maintenance Plant in ukraine, but americans are angry, they want the support to stop. Its the United States and nato who are the the art to blame and the fundamental cause of the conflict in ukraine, and that if we can force the Us Government to stop uh sending money and weapons to ukraine, the war will end the very next day, and in germany, you use powerhouse, things are pretty bad when doctors protest the high cost of living, the clinics have no choice but to protest because we have to make sure we have money by the end the month to pay all this stuff and rent, thats a wrap for now, but stick around, ill be back on the top, with our news and brief, see you soon. Im not only here to participate in the millennial anniversary, but also to present and describe many different places to you. Its a very nice place here, the city is really interesting.
