00:00:00,280 –> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Justice Mohammad Gaba Umar of the Federal High Court sitting

2
00:00:03,520 –> 00:00:06,919
in Abuja on Friday apparently rejected the plans by the

3
00:00:06,960 –> 00:00:11,400
Inspector General of Police IGP car Yode egg Betoken to

4
00:00:11,480 –> 00:00:15,599
stop the upcoming Monday, October twentieth plan mass protests by

5
00:00:15,679 –> 00:00:19,320
Nigerians to demand the release of the detained Biafra Republic

6
00:00:19,359 –> 00:00:24,600
Agitation leader Marzi Nandikanu. But according to the organizer of

7
00:00:24,640 –> 00:00:28,760
the protest, Omiyele Saware, after the judge initially declined to

8
00:00:28,839 –> 00:00:32,200
grant the Nigeria Police Force an ex party motion to

9
00:00:32,240 –> 00:00:36,000
stop the planned protest in the open court, the Federal

10
00:00:36,079 –> 00:00:39,880
High Court Judge Justice Umar reportedly granted the motion in

11
00:00:40,000 –> 00:00:43,479
chambers imposing a ban on protests at Asso Rock Villa,

12
00:00:43,880 –> 00:00:47,640
National Assembly or Unity Fountain in Abuja. We await a

13
00:00:47,719 –> 00:00:51,479
certified true copy of the order which our lawyers will review.

14
00:00:51,759 –> 00:00:55,719
The protest remains unstoppable while this is ongoing. The United

15
00:00:55,719 –> 00:01:00,600
States US Embassy in Nigeria has warned America citizens to

16
00:01:00,640 –> 00:01:03,880
be far from the protest areas and limit their movements

17
00:01:03,920 –> 00:01:08,719
in the Nigeria capital city, Abuja, saying the planned protest

18
00:01:08,799 –> 00:01:12,599
may lead to destructions and violence. Detailed of the court

19
00:01:12,640 –> 00:01:16,439
action as captured by Punch newspaper. The Federal High Court

20
00:01:16,439 –> 00:01:20,000
in Abuja has refused the Nigeria Police Force his bid

21
00:01:20,040 –> 00:01:24,000
to stop the Free Namdi Canyono protest, allowing it to

22
00:01:24,040 –> 00:01:27,879
proceed as scheduled. On Monday, October twentieth, twenty twenty five,

23
00:01:28,680 –> 00:01:33,400
the Inspector General of Police, KeyOne Eggbetoken, had dispatched police

24
00:01:33,480 –> 00:01:36,079
lawyers to the court to move an ex party motion

25
00:01:36,239 –> 00:01:40,799
against activist and protest organizer Omiyele Saware in a bid

26
00:01:40,840 –> 00:01:44,200
to legally preempt the planned demonstration slated for the Asso

27
00:01:44,319 –> 00:01:48,680
Rock Villa. However, Justice Umar of the Federal High Court,

28
00:01:48,959 –> 00:01:52,959
Abuja declined to grant the motion, which would have immediately

29
00:01:53,040 –> 00:01:57,599
restrained the protest from taking place without hearing the opposing side.

30
00:01:57,680 –> 00:02:00,640
The judge instead instructed the police to fot formally serve

31
00:02:00,799 –> 00:02:04,000
notice of their application on Saware and adjourned the case

32
00:02:04,079 –> 00:02:08,520
until Tuesday for a proper contested hearing. Reacting to the

33
00:02:08,599 –> 00:02:13,560
judicial decision, the protest convener, Ami Jele Saware affirmed the

34
00:02:13,560 –> 00:02:16,680
court’s decision as a victory for civil liberties and doubled

35
00:02:16,680 –> 00:02:20,280
down on the scheduled protest. In a statement issued on

36
00:02:20,400 –> 00:02:24,199
his ex handle on Friday, following the ruling, Saware said

37
00:02:24,520 –> 00:02:29,599
Igo Police Nigeria Keyode Eggbato can dispatched police lawyers to

38
00:02:29,719 –> 00:02:32,479
Sumi in an effort to halt the Free namdican Uno

39
00:02:32,599 –> 00:02:38,280
protest scheduled Faraso Rockvilla on Monday. However, the Judge Justice

40
00:02:38,280 –> 00:02:41,400
whom Are of Federal High Court in Abuja refused to

41
00:02:41,439 –> 00:02:44,960
grant the ex party motion, instead instructing him to serve

42
00:02:45,039 –> 00:02:48,000
me notice and adjourning the case until Tuesday for a

43
00:02:48,039 –> 00:02:53,479
proper hearing. The demonstration, organized under the hashtag Free Namdicanuno,

44
00:02:53,960 –> 00:02:56,879
is intended to draw attention to the prolonged detention and

45
00:02:57,000 –> 00:03:00,680
legal fate of Karno. The police action seen as an

46
00:03:00,680 –> 00:03:04,000
attempt to leverage the courts to prevent a potentially sensitive

47
00:03:04,039 –> 00:03:07,960
gathering near the seat of Nigerian power. The adjournment to

48
00:03:08,039 –> 00:03:11,639
Tuesday ensures that the planned Monday protest is not currently

49
00:03:11,680 –> 00:03:14,800
constrained by a court order, setting the stage for a

50
00:03:14,840 –> 00:03:20,080
potential high profile confrontation between protesters and security agencies around

51
00:03:20,080 –> 00:03:24,840
the presidential villa. Channel’s Television also on Friday, reported that

52
00:03:25,360 –> 00:03:29,039
ahead of the Free Namdikanuno protests slated for Monday, October

53
00:03:29,080 –> 00:03:32,159
twentieth in the nation’s capital. The U S Embassy in

54
00:03:32,240 –> 00:03:36,039
Abuja has issued a security alert to Americans. In a

55
00:03:36,080 –> 00:03:40,240
statement published on its website on Friday, the Embassy cautioned

56
00:03:40,240 –> 00:03:43,479
that the protest could lead to disruptions and potential violence.

57
00:03:44,240 –> 00:03:47,479
The Embassy advised U S citizens to steer clear of

58
00:03:47,520 –> 00:03:50,680
the protest areas and limit their movement across the city.

59
00:03:51,360 –> 00:03:54,960
The US Embassy in Abuja informs US citizens that the

60
00:03:55,000 –> 00:03:59,000
Free Namdi Krno Now protest has called for peaceful demonstrations

61
00:03:59,080 –> 00:04:03,960
on Monday October twentieth, twenty twenty five in Abuja. There

62
00:04:03,960 –> 00:04:09,360
may be roadblocks, traffic congestion, and confrontations between police and

63
00:04:09,400 –> 00:04:12,759
protesters that could turn violent around Eagles Square and the

64
00:04:12,800 –> 00:04:17,600
Central Business District. The Embassy advises all US citizens to

65
00:04:17,680 –> 00:04:21,000
avoid this area and to severely limit all movement throughout

66
00:04:21,040 –> 00:04:24,879
the city on Monday, October twentieth. The statement read in part,

67
00:04:25,600 –> 00:04:29,120
the Embassy recommended that children stay home from school and

68
00:04:29,160 –> 00:04:32,399
the domestic staff who commute from outside Abuja do not

69
00:04:32,480 –> 00:04:35,920
report to work on that day. It also called on

70
00:04:36,000 –> 00:04:40,839
all Americans in Nigeria to take heightened security precautions. The

71
00:04:40,879 –> 00:04:45,079
planned protest was announced by activist and former presidential candidate

72
00:04:45,120 –> 00:04:49,160
of the African Action Congress Amiyele Saware on his ex

73
00:04:49,199 –> 00:04:53,560
account on October ninth Saware stated that the protest would

74
00:04:53,560 –> 00:04:56,680
take place on October twentieth and be directed toward the

75
00:04:56,720 –> 00:05:01,079
Asso Rock Presidential Villa. He described it as a historic

76
00:05:01,480 –> 00:05:04,560
and peaceful demonstration aimed at securing the release of the

77
00:05:04,639 –> 00:05:09,879
leader of the Prescribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Namdikru Carlu,

78
00:05:10,160 –> 00:05:13,639
who is currently facing terrorism charges at the Federal High

79
00:05:13,680 –> 00:05:17,000
Court in Abuja, has been in custody since June twenty

80
00:05:17,079 –> 00:05:21,680
twenty one, following his controversial extradition from Kenya. But shortly

81
00:05:21,720 –> 00:05:25,920
after the aforesaid media reports, Amiele Saware, in a statement

82
00:05:26,000 –> 00:05:30,360
through his social media accounts on Friday, said that after

83
00:05:30,439 –> 00:05:33,040
failing to obtain a legitimate court order to halt the

84
00:05:33,120 –> 00:05:37,600
unstoppable Free Namdicanuno protest, the Nigeria Police Force has now

85
00:05:37,680 –> 00:05:41,319
resorted to a fresh wave of panic driven measures. In

86
00:05:41,319 –> 00:05:45,959
Ondo state, police authorities have reportedly ordered that officers sympathetic

87
00:05:46,040 –> 00:05:49,040
to the movement be confined to their barracks, an action

88
00:05:49,160 –> 00:05:52,879
that exposes the deep unease within the system. Rather than

89
00:05:52,920 –> 00:05:56,639
engage with the legitimate and peaceful demands of citizens, the

90
00:05:56,680 –> 00:06:00,600
police are turning their energy toward internal repression and fear tactics,

91
00:06:00,920 –> 00:06:03,959
a clear sign that the movement’s message has struck a nerve,

92
00:06:04,759 –> 00:06:08,519
the people are awake and the movement remains unstoppable. In

93
00:06:08,600 –> 00:06:13,800
another statement on Friday, accompanied with video footage, Amielee Sware said,

94
00:06:14,279 –> 00:06:19,399
earlier today, the Nigeria Police Force FCT Command invited Barrister

95
00:06:19,519 –> 00:06:23,000
Maxwell Opara to discuss the planned Free nam Dekanuno protest.

96
00:06:23,839 –> 00:06:27,279
Upon our arrival at the command’s entrance, we were abruptly

97
00:06:27,319 –> 00:06:31,279
stopped by a police contingent stationed at the gate offices,

98
00:06:31,319 –> 00:06:34,360
claimed the new Commissioner of Police was resuming duty and

99
00:06:34,399 –> 00:06:37,040
could not attend to visit us until after his official

100
00:06:37,079 –> 00:06:41,680
resumption rituals. When we were eventually allowed through, the senior

101
00:06:41,720 –> 00:06:45,680
police officer, Habib Mohammad, who had extended the invitation, met

102
00:06:45,759 –> 00:06:48,920
us and presented a copy of the organizer’s letters seeking

103
00:06:48,959 –> 00:06:53,560
police protection. Barrister Maxwell Opara had not arrived at that point.

104
00:06:53,879 –> 00:06:57,360
A letter filed by Barrister Opara as legal representative of

105
00:06:57,399 –> 00:07:00,439
the protest movement, but The tone of the the meeting

106
00:07:00,519 –> 00:07:04,160
shifted quickly after the senior police officer Muhammad, received a

107
00:07:04,199 –> 00:07:07,680
phone call. He informed us that the Deputy Commissioner of

108
00:07:07,759 –> 00:07:12,759
Police DCP, in charge of the State Intelligence Department SID

109
00:07:13,240 –> 00:07:16,639
wished to meet us. When we arrived at his office,

110
00:07:16,879 –> 00:07:20,199
he expressed surprise at my presence at the FCT command,

111
00:07:20,639 –> 00:07:24,000
claiming that no invitation had been extended to me personally.

112
00:07:24,720 –> 00:07:29,600
He remained polite and we left courteously. Shortly after, Barrister

113
00:07:29,720 –> 00:07:33,480
maxwell Opara arrived to the supol’s office, where the conversation

114
00:07:33,680 –> 00:07:37,800
turned tense. The officer issued a veiled threat, warning that

115
00:07:37,879 –> 00:07:41,920
Barrister Opara would be held responsible if anything goes wrong

116
00:07:41,959 –> 00:07:46,399
anywhere in Abouja on Monday. Barrister Opara reminded him that

117
00:07:46,439 –> 00:07:49,560
this was precisely why the organizers had sent a formal

118
00:07:49,639 –> 00:07:54,519
notification to insure a peaceful and lawful demonstration. The officer

119
00:07:54,560 –> 00:07:58,879
reportedly began shouting and the meeting ended abruptly. According to

120
00:07:58,959 –> 00:08:02,319
Barrister Opara, it became clear that they did not want

121
00:08:02,399 –> 00:08:06,360
me present because they were seeking someone they could intimidate.

122
00:08:06,680 –> 00:08:10,160
Not long after we left the command, the illegal IGP

123
00:08:10,360 –> 00:08:13,319
directed police lawyers to obtain a court order to stop

124
00:08:13,360 –> 00:08:17,759
the protest. However, the Federal High Court judge declined to

125
00:08:17,839 –> 00:08:21,439
grant the order in open court. It was later reported

126
00:08:21,480 –> 00:08:25,439
that a limited purpose order was issued, but no such

127
00:08:25,560 –> 00:08:28,879
order has been served on the organizers. The Free Nam

128
00:08:28,920 –> 00:08:33,759
de Canuno protest is unstoppable. We are proceeding as planned, peacefully,

129
00:08:34,080 –> 00:08:47,080
lawfully and with unwavering resolve, Emile Souare, stated Guinigi. Whenever

130
00:08:47,200 –> 00:08:52,080
controversies surround Rufaya Sani, the outspoken and fearless broadcaster on

131
00:08:52,159 –> 00:08:56,639
a Rise Television, one recurring argument often resurfaces in public

132
00:08:56,679 –> 00:09:00,440
discourse the claim that Rufaya Sani is not a jojournalist.

133
00:09:00,840 –> 00:09:03,600
Critics are quick to emphasize that he lacks a formal

134
00:09:03,679 –> 00:09:08,480
academic background in journalism, having originally trained in animal anatomy.

135
00:09:08,759 –> 00:09:12,639
But beyond the semantics of qualification, a deeper question emerges.

136
00:09:13,080 –> 00:09:15,879
What truly defines a journalist and what are the core

137
00:09:15,960 –> 00:09:20,879
functions of journalism in society. As mass communication teacher, we

138
00:09:21,000 –> 00:09:23,919
teach students from the very first class that the media

139
00:09:24,039 –> 00:09:30,200
exists to inform, educate, entertain, and preserve cultural heritage. Journalists

140
00:09:30,240 –> 00:09:33,279
also play the crucial roles of agenda setting and acting

141
00:09:33,279 –> 00:09:37,879
as watchdogs, holding public officials accountable, and amplifying the voices

142
00:09:37,919 –> 00:09:42,360
of the government. The media’s capacity to shape national conversations

143
00:09:42,399 –> 00:09:46,559
is immense. By highlighting specific issues and giving them prominence,

144
00:09:46,960 –> 00:09:51,279
journalists help raise awareness and influence public perception. It is

145
00:09:51,399 –> 00:09:56,120
through such a gender setting functions that societies engage in dialogue, debate,

146
00:09:56,559 –> 00:10:00,399
and reform, thereby playing participatory role in the pre process

147
00:10:00,399 –> 00:10:04,960
of governance. When examined through this functional lens, it becomes

148
00:10:05,039 –> 00:10:09,879
clear that Rufai Sini has consistently fulfilled these journalistic responsibilities

149
00:10:09,960 –> 00:10:15,440
over the years. His incisive questioning, fearless commentary, and commitment

150
00:10:15,480 –> 00:10:18,240
to public accountability have made him one of the most

151
00:10:18,360 –> 00:10:24,440
recognizable broadcast personalities in contemporary Nigerian media. A notable example

152
00:10:24,559 –> 00:10:27,559
is his now famous exchange with the Minister of Works,

153
00:10:27,919 –> 00:10:32,639
Engineer Dave Yumihi on a Rise television. Before that encounter,

154
00:10:33,120 –> 00:10:36,840
few Nigerians had publicly interrogated the cost per kilometer of

155
00:10:36,919 –> 00:10:42,080
road construction projects executed by government agencies. While the Minister

156
00:10:42,159 –> 00:10:47,919
initially dismissed Rufai’s questioners elementary, the issue soon gained traction nationally.

157
00:10:48,679 –> 00:10:53,279
In fact, subsequent clarifications by Yumihi and even a public

158
00:10:53,320 –> 00:10:57,519
response by Oyo State Governor saying mar Kinde demonstrated that

159
00:10:57,559 –> 00:11:01,320
a Sine’s line of questioning had forced an important accountability

160
00:11:01,399 –> 00:11:06,399
conversation into the mainstream. Through this singular act, Rufi did

161
00:11:06,440 –> 00:11:10,120
what the media are mandated to do, hold power accountable,

162
00:11:10,440 –> 00:11:14,799
enlighten the public, and stimulate civic engagement. It is true

163
00:11:14,799 –> 00:11:18,240
that a formal qualification, such as a diploma or degree

164
00:11:18,240 –> 00:11:23,279
in journalism is generally considered a prerequisite for professional practice.

165
00:11:23,480 –> 00:11:27,480
Yet history tells a different story about the Nigerian press.

166
00:11:27,960 –> 00:11:32,200
Many of the country’s most celebrated media pioneers, from Herbert

167
00:11:32,240 –> 00:11:36,639
McCauley to Ernest A. Collie, Namdia zeki Way and Obefemi Awoloo,

168
00:11:37,039 –> 00:11:42,159
were not trained journalists in the academic sense. Nevertheless, through passion,

169
00:11:42,440 –> 00:11:46,759
intellect and experience, they became towering figures in the nation’s

170
00:11:46,840 –> 00:11:52,399
journalistic landscape in the decades that followed. Major Nigerian newspapers

171
00:11:52,559 –> 00:11:56,000
like The Guardian, The Punch, The Tribune and the defunct

172
00:11:56,120 –> 00:12:01,960
National Concord were edited by professionals whose background literature, political science,

173
00:12:02,279 –> 00:12:07,480
law and the humanities, not necessarily journalism. What matted was

174
00:12:07,519 –> 00:12:11,919
their adherence to journalistic ethics and commitment to truth. Today,

175
00:12:12,399 –> 00:12:16,039
journalism is evolving faster than ever. The rise of social

176
00:12:16,039 –> 00:12:20,879
and digital media has democratised information dissemination, giving birth to

177
00:12:20,919 –> 00:12:26,120
citizen journalism, a space where individuals, regardless of academic background,

178
00:12:26,440 –> 00:12:31,120
can contribute meaningfully to public discourse. The boundaries of professional

179
00:12:31,200 –> 00:12:36,399
journalism have expanded, now encompassing voices trained in diverse disciplines

180
00:12:36,440 –> 00:12:40,039
but committed to the principles of truth, balance, and fairness.

181
00:12:40,759 –> 00:12:45,919
In this context, Rufayasini’s two decades of consistent broadcast experience,

182
00:12:46,360 –> 00:12:49,879
his engagement with media ethics, and his pursuit of professional

183
00:12:49,919 –> 00:12:55,080
development courses or reinforce his credibility. His work reflects a

184
00:12:55,159 –> 00:13:00,000
mastery of journalism’s essence, even if his educational roots lie elsewhere.

185
00:13:00,759 –> 00:13:04,879
The debate over Rufaia Sine’s academic background may continue, but

186
00:13:04,960 –> 00:13:08,240
it misses the more profound point. Journalism is as much

187
00:13:08,279 –> 00:13:12,919
a calling as it is a profession. It demands curiosity, courage,

188
00:13:13,159 –> 00:13:17,759
critical thinking, and an unwavering commitment to public interest. By

189
00:13:17,799 –> 00:13:22,240
these measures, Rufaia Saani has proven himself a journalist, not

190
00:13:22,360 –> 00:13:26,320
by certificate, but by conviction and consistent service to society.

191
00:13:27,039 –> 00:13:34,679
Writer isa Abdulazase, mass communication lecturer, Federal Polytechnic Hauci.

192
00:13:34,720 –> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: Why yes, mister w this monologue is quite long. So

193
00:13:38,519 –> 00:13:41,559
at first, minister, after you had gone to respond, report

194
00:13:41,639 –> 00:13:44,000
me in front of president all sorts.

195
00:13:44,480 –> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 3: Anyway, I am not beholding to you.

196
00:13:46,120 –> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: My job is account that for me to report you

197
00:13:48,679 –> 00:13:56,120
to the president. No, but minister, minister, let me speak. Minister, ministers, mister,

198
00:13:56,240 –> 00:13:56,919
let me speak.

199
00:13:57,320 –> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 3: I have empirical evidenced.

200
00:13:58,720 –> 00:14:01,279
Speaker 2: The world watched it on the commission of the project

201
00:14:01,360 –> 00:14:04,360
where you mentioned the questions I ask you to the

202
00:14:04,399 –> 00:14:07,039
president that was reporting me to the president officially. The

203
00:14:07,080 –> 00:14:09,840
world watches, so you don’t need to delete that about

204
00:14:09,840 –> 00:14:10,679
the empirical facts.

205
00:14:10,679 –> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 3: I don’t talk without facts, minister.

206
00:14:12,000 –> 00:14:13,919
Speaker 2: You know when I have my fact, I talk and

207
00:14:14,000 –> 00:14:15,879
I insist on my question when I ask on course,

208
00:14:16,440 –> 00:14:18,480
let me see, minister, you will not.

209
00:14:19,120 –> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 3: You will not.

210
00:14:19,600 –> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: You will not allow me to speak. The problem is

211
00:14:21,679 –> 00:14:23,200
you will not allow me to speak. You spoke for

212
00:14:23,240 –> 00:14:25,840
over twenty minutes, over ten minutes because you don’t know

213
00:14:25,879 –> 00:14:28,600
what you’re speaking. But let me speak, Let me speak.

214
00:14:28,600 –> 00:14:31,240
You will not will you will not allow me to speak.

215
00:14:31,600 –> 00:14:33,799
You see, if you can just keep quiet and be

216
00:14:33,840 –> 00:14:35,399
calm and just allow me to speak.

217
00:14:35,559 –> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 3: I’ll be happy, all right.

218
00:14:37,600 –> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: So my question still persists as regards the course spaculumia.

219
00:14:41,399 –> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: You cannot tell me that.

220
00:14:43,200 –> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: We don’t have a right to know the course paculumister,

221
00:14:45,039 –> 00:14:47,399
even if it’s a doletting landscape. Give us all the

222
00:14:47,399 –> 00:14:49,120
fact that the details of the cost paculometer.

223
00:14:49,519 –> 00:14:49,879
Speaker 3: That’s all.

224
00:14:49,919 –> 00:14:53,879
Speaker 2: We’ll ask for other questions as regards the loans taking,

225
00:14:55,080 –> 00:14:58,600
let me let me finish.

226
00:14:58,720 –> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: Listen to me, minister. The minister will.

227
00:15:01,840 –> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: Not no no no, no, no, no no no, don’t

228
00:15:04,360 –> 00:15:04,960
do that with me.

229
00:15:05,200 –> 00:15:07,519
Speaker 3: Minissa will not do that with me. I was in

230
00:15:07,600 –> 00:15:09,960
your studio, Minister will when the first.

231
00:15:09,720 –> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 4: Section was on and I ran the figures and what

232
00:15:13,559 –> 00:15:17,320
to action. It is seven fifty kilometers of costa highway.

233
00:15:17,480 –> 00:15:20,200
We should tell you cost per kilometers. So you multiplied

234
00:15:20,200 –> 00:15:22,360
by seven fifty nor sissica.

235
00:15:22,559 –> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: No, so tell me the cost per kilometers. There’s nothing

236
00:15:24,519 –> 00:15:26,080
too hard for you to tell me that figure. You’ve

237
00:15:26,120 –> 00:15:27,720
not told me that figure. So I was right on

238
00:15:27,759 –> 00:15:28,200
that point.

239
00:15:28,559 –> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 3: The second understand anything. The second point I’m trying. You

240
00:15:33,240 –> 00:15:35,960
don’t don’t stand anything. I’m a professor in this field.

241
00:15:36,200 –> 00:15:39,639
Speaker 2: Okay, you don’t what you gave your professorship.

242
00:15:39,639 –> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: You need to tell you a.

243
00:15:40,639 –> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: Cost what university gave you professorship and engineering. I didn’t

244
00:15:44,159 –> 00:15:46,840
know you are professor, my minister, I didn’t know.

245
00:15:47,720 –> 00:15:52,519
Speaker 3: So please, you’re not You’re not a professor in practice.

246
00:15:52,639 –> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 4: In professor in practice, I’m understanding gineering.

247
00:15:56,480 –> 00:15:58,519
Speaker 3: So second, you have no knowledge of what to ask.

248
00:15:58,639 –> 00:16:00,480
If you will let me, you have no knowledge.

249
00:16:00,480 –> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: If you’ll let me, I told you keep quiet, okay,

250
00:16:03,240 –> 00:16:05,879
and then stop there, you minister.

251
00:16:05,919 –> 00:16:06,679
Speaker 3: It’s all right.

252
00:16:06,879 –> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: Keep dignifying yourself and let the world see you for

253
00:16:08,879 –> 00:16:12,600
who you are. If you allow me to speak the

254
00:16:12,679 –> 00:16:15,360
other one hundred kilometers that you said have added to it.

255
00:16:15,639 –> 00:16:18,080
WOULD like to know the cost back kilometer of that

256
00:16:18,120 –> 00:16:22,639
one and the win some homes. The case is in

257
00:16:22,759 –> 00:16:24,080
court now. I would like to know the cost pa

258
00:16:24,159 –> 00:16:25,240
kilometers for that one.

259
00:16:25,399 –> 00:16:26,039
Speaker 3: I would like to.

260
00:16:26,000 –> 00:16:29,279
Speaker 2: Also know the other seven hundred billion first tranche of

261
00:16:29,360 –> 00:16:31,799
loan you guys got for this project. Has the money

262
00:16:31,840 –> 00:16:34,879
been spent? I was the money deployed? I also like

263
00:16:34,960 –> 00:16:36,720
to know. I also love to know the terms of

264
00:16:36,759 –> 00:16:40,519
that loan? All right, how many years? What’s the paidback period?

265
00:16:40,639 –> 00:16:43,039
Was the payback term of that loan and for the

266
00:16:43,120 –> 00:16:47,440
win some homes. Isn’t it interesting that, as somebody that’s

267
00:16:47,440 –> 00:16:48,639
been a governor in the States.

268
00:16:48,440 –> 00:16:51,279
Speaker 3: You know the law, a case is in courts, and there.

269
00:16:51,159 –> 00:16:53,039
Speaker 2: You’re coming to talk about the digits of the cases

270
00:16:53,039 –> 00:16:55,600
in courts because you deny that the case was not

271
00:16:55,679 –> 00:16:56,000
in court.

272
00:16:56,120 –> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 3: Now you’ve already accepted that the case is in court.

273
00:16:58,399 –> 00:17:00,639
Speaker 2: So it’s not just better you rush it out with

274
00:17:00,679 –> 00:17:04,039
a woman that has been reporting our case in public

275
00:17:04,079 –> 00:17:06,440
that we all heard, and I ask you questions based

276
00:17:06,480 –> 00:17:09,240
on that. So I just answered the questions. I’ve got

277
00:17:09,279 –> 00:17:11,880
no answer grand with you. You know that we’ve spoken

278
00:17:11,920 –> 00:17:14,480
many times. In fact, when your people call to book,

279
00:17:14,799 –> 00:17:17,000
I booked them and I said you should come on air.

280
00:17:17,039 –> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 3: So please just tell us this information and it’s very important. Minister.

281
00:17:29,720 –> 00:17:32,079
Speaker 4: I’m not hearing even though this guise.

282
00:17:32,920 –> 00:17:33,319
Speaker 3: It’s not.

283
00:17:35,319 –> 00:17:37,799
Speaker 5: Lady buy In.

284
00:17:39,519 –> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: Nigerian Army Authority has issued a statement denying threat messages

285
00:17:44,160 –> 00:17:46,960
issued against members of the public ahead of the plan

286
00:17:47,200 –> 00:17:51,079
mass protests slated for October twentieth, twenty twenty five, to

287
00:17:51,160 –> 00:17:54,279
demand for the release and freedom of the detained Biafro

288
00:17:54,400 –> 00:17:59,079
Republic Agitation leader Marzie Nandi Kru just as the organizer

289
00:17:59,119 –> 00:18:03,279
and chief campaign Amiele Saware, the publisher of Sahara Reporters

290
00:18:03,359 –> 00:18:06,680
news media, met to seek understanding with the former President

291
00:18:06,720 –> 00:18:11,119
of Nigeria, good Luck of Velet Jonathan, who, according to Saware,

292
00:18:11,519 –> 00:18:15,200
promised to visit President Bolahmed Tanubu to discuss the issue

293
00:18:15,200 –> 00:18:19,559
with him. Nigerian Army, in a statement on Friday, said

294
00:18:19,920 –> 00:18:23,559
the attention of the Nigerian Army ENA has been drawn

295
00:18:23,599 –> 00:18:27,200
to a misleading publication by Sahara Reporters alleging that a

296
00:18:27,279 –> 00:18:31,720
Facebook page purportedly operated by military personnel issued veiled threats

297
00:18:31,759 –> 00:18:35,839
against certain individuals ahead of a planned October twentieth protest.

298
00:18:36,599 –> 00:18:39,440
The report is not only false, but a deliberate attempt

299
00:18:39,480 –> 00:18:42,880
to misinform the public and discredit the noble institution of

300
00:18:42,920 –> 00:18:47,279
the Nigerian Army. For the avoidance of doubt, the Nigerian

301
00:18:47,400 –> 00:18:51,200
Army has only two official social media handles, namely at

302
00:18:51,359 –> 00:18:54,720
h QA Nigerian Army and at Nigerian Army Info, which

303
00:18:54,720 –> 00:19:00,039
are duly verified on Facebook x formerly Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

304
00:19:00,359 –> 00:19:04,160
Any other page or account outside these verified handles does

305
00:19:04,200 –> 00:19:07,240
not belong to the Nigerian Army and should be disregarded

306
00:19:07,240 –> 00:19:10,920
in its entirety. It is pertinent to state that certain

307
00:19:11,000 –> 00:19:15,079
civilians and online content creators now operate pages that post

308
00:19:15,079 –> 00:19:19,039
military related contents purely for the purpose of generating online

309
00:19:19,079 –> 00:19:23,960
traffic and monetary gain. Such pages have no affiliation whatsoever

310
00:19:24,039 –> 00:19:28,640
with the Nigerian Army. The NA therefore dissociates itself completely

311
00:19:28,680 –> 00:19:33,759
from any post statement or activity emanating from these unauthorized sources.

312
00:19:34,559 –> 00:19:38,640
The Nigerian Army remains a professional, disciplined and a political

313
00:19:38,720 –> 00:19:41,839
institution committed to the defense and unity of the Federal

314
00:19:41,880 –> 00:19:47,079
Republic of Nigeria. In the discharge of its constitutional responsibilities,

315
00:19:47,480 –> 00:19:51,400
the NA continues to uphold the highest standards of professionalism,

316
00:19:51,599 –> 00:19:55,200
adherence to the rule of law, and respect for human rights.

317
00:19:55,759 –> 00:19:59,240
The general public and media practitioners are hereby enjoyed to

318
00:19:59,359 –> 00:20:03,559
verify all information concerning the Nigerian Army only through its

319
00:20:03,599 –> 00:20:07,640
official platforms or the Directorate of Army Public Relations before

320
00:20:07,720 –> 00:20:13,359
publication or dissemination. The Nigerian Army therefore urges Sahara reporters

321
00:20:13,400 –> 00:20:17,160
and other media outlets to exercise due diligence in verifying

322
00:20:17,200 –> 00:20:20,799
the authenticity of their sources to avoid the spread of falsehood.

323
00:20:20,839 –> 00:20:26,279
Capable of misleading the public and undermining national security. Omiyele Saware,

324
00:20:26,400 –> 00:20:29,799
in a statement made available through his personal social media

325
00:20:29,839 –> 00:20:34,319
accounts on Friday, said that earlier today in Abuja, I

326
00:20:34,400 –> 00:20:37,400
met with former President good Luck Jonathan to discuss the

327
00:20:37,400 –> 00:20:42,519
continued incarceration of Marzi Namdi Karno. President Jonathan agreed that

328
00:20:42,559 –> 00:20:45,200
there is an urgent and compelling need to address this

329
00:20:45,279 –> 00:20:49,839
matter decisively and justly. I thank him sincerely for recognizing

330
00:20:49,880 –> 00:20:53,440
the importance of resolving Karno’s case in the interest of peace,

331
00:20:53,880 –> 00:20:58,519
fairness and national healing. Particularly assuring was that he promised

332
00:20:58,559 –> 00:21:01,759
to meet Assawaju Bolah Ahmed to Nubu to discuss this

333
00:21:01,880 –> 00:21:06,240
issue as soon as possible. With this, former President Jonathan

334
00:21:06,359 –> 00:21:09,240
joins a growing list of Nigerians who have called for

335
00:21:09,440 –> 00:21:13,000
justice in Namdi Krnu’s case, a list that already includes

336
00:21:13,039 –> 00:21:18,640
ex Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Femi Falana San, Senator Schehusani,

337
00:21:18,960 –> 00:21:23,480
and many others across political and regional divides. Marzi Namdi

338
00:21:23,599 –> 00:21:26,640
Krnu remains in detention today because he took up the

339
00:21:26,799 –> 00:21:30,359
just cause of confronting the long standing issue of marginalization

340
00:21:30,519 –> 00:21:35,160
in Nigeria. Like other ethnic and regional activists whose politically

341
00:21:35,200 –> 00:21:39,519
motivated cases have been withdrawn or dismissed. Namdi Karnu should

342
00:21:39,519 –> 00:21:43,759
also be released without further delay. I once again call

343
00:21:43,839 –> 00:21:48,920
on all political, cultural, ethnic and religious leaders across Nigeria

344
00:21:49,039 –> 00:21:53,039
to join this noble cause. In particular, I invite my

345
00:21:53,160 –> 00:21:58,400
brothers and sisters from the Southeast, Mister Peter Hoby, Charles Chukumasludo,

346
00:21:58,799 –> 00:22:04,039
Alex Seiotti, Francis in Waiferu, Peter mbar Ho, huz Odenma

347
00:22:04,240 –> 00:22:08,799
Habiageli Azekuisili, John imbart of ohenez Indigbo worldwide as well

348
00:22:08,799 –> 00:22:12,319
as Nigerians of conscience everywhere to lend their voices to

349
00:22:12,359 –> 00:22:16,160
the call for justice and freedom. Nandi Carnu should be

350
00:22:16,200 –> 00:22:20,200
set free and I remain firmly committed to peacefully mobilizing

351
00:22:20,240 –> 00:22:24,480
for justice and freedom in this matter. On Thursday, Amiele

352
00:22:24,640 –> 00:22:27,720
Saware in a statement challenged the decision to set free

353
00:22:27,720 –> 00:22:31,920
and grant presidential state pardons to convicted individuals by President

354
00:22:31,960 –> 00:22:36,359
Bola Ahmed Tanubu without considering the release of Marzi Namdi Carno.

355
00:22:37,079 –> 00:22:42,039
According to Saware, to day, President Bola Tanubu extended pardons

356
00:22:42,079 –> 00:22:45,640
to a long list of convicted individuals, including a cocaine

357
00:22:45,640 –> 00:22:50,240
trafficker serving a life sentence, an alleged Couplottera Mammon Vatsa,

358
00:22:50,480 –> 00:22:54,279
the late Nandiazikiway and Herbert McCaulay, and even Ferouk Lawan,

359
00:22:54,559 –> 00:22:58,400
the former lawmaker convicted for taking bribes on tape. He

360
00:22:58,519 –> 00:23:02,720
also pardoned other known for fosters and corrupt politicians. Yet

361
00:23:03,000 –> 00:23:06,200
in all of this, Tenubu refuses to even consider the

362
00:23:06,240 –> 00:23:10,000
release of Marzi Namdikru, who has been unjustly detained for

363
00:23:10,119 –> 00:23:14,359
years despite multiple court orders mandating his freedom. It is

364
00:23:14,400 –> 00:23:19,200
a glaring hypocrisy. Criminals and political thieves are forgiven, celebrated

365
00:23:19,559 –> 00:23:23,559
and rehabilitated, while a man demanding self determination and justice

366
00:23:23,599 –> 00:23:26,599
remains behind bars and tossed around in courts with the

367
00:23:26,640 –> 00:23:31,319
pretense that somehow it is about law. Earlier smare raised

368
00:23:31,319 –> 00:23:35,200
an alarm that the presidency is using DSS to contact

369
00:23:35,279 –> 00:23:38,559
and threaten politicians from the Southeast, warning him not to

370
00:23:38,680 –> 00:23:42,400
endorse the Free Namdi Carnu Now movement or participate in

371
00:23:42,480 –> 00:23:46,279
Free Namdi Carnu Now the planned march to Asso Rock Villa.

372
00:23:47,000 –> 00:23:51,200
They’ve contacted some names mentioned in my postings to gaslight them,

373
00:23:51,400 –> 00:23:56,680
claiming the protest was to foment chaos and violence. They’re terrified. However,

374
00:23:57,119 –> 00:23:59,039
we move forward and cannot be stopped.

375
00:24:02,839 –> 00:24:06,039
Speaker 5: Gwindi Ingi.

376
00:24:06,319 –> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: President Bola Ahmed Tanubu of Nigeria has accepted the resignation

377
00:24:10,599 –> 00:24:15,559
of the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Jeffryuchen Naji,

378
00:24:15,599 –> 00:24:18,440
who had been accused of forging the degree certificate of

379
00:24:18,480 –> 00:24:22,039
the University of Nigeria in Succa and the certificate of

380
00:24:22,119 –> 00:24:25,519
completion of service for the one year mandatory National Youth

381
00:24:25,599 –> 00:24:30,359
Service Corps NYSC after he allegedly failed an exit course

382
00:24:30,759 –> 00:24:36,279
virology repeatedly at the University Nigeria. Presidency in a statement

383
00:24:36,359 –> 00:24:40,160
made available a few minutes ago by the presidential spokesperson,

384
00:24:40,799 –> 00:24:45,759
yo Onnanuga, stated that President Bola Ahmed Talubu has accepted

385
00:24:45,799 –> 00:24:50,279
the resignation of Jeffriuchin Naji, the Minister of Innovation, Science

386
00:24:50,440 –> 00:24:56,200
and Technology, following some allegations against him. President Tellubu appointed

387
00:24:56,279 –> 00:24:59,799
Niji in August twenty twenty three. He resigned today in

388
00:24:59,839 –> 00:25:03,319
an letter thanking the President for allowing him to serve Nigeria.

389
00:25:04,119 –> 00:25:06,880
Naji said he has been a target of blackmail by

390
00:25:06,960 –> 00:25:11,440
political opponents. President Tanubu thanked him for his service and

391
00:25:11,519 –> 00:25:16,720
wished him well in future endeavours. Earlier, Nigeria State controlled

392
00:25:16,759 –> 00:25:21,759
media NTA had reported that the Minister of Innovation, Science

393
00:25:21,799 –> 00:25:26,319
and Technology, which A. Jeffrey Naji, has dismissed reports questioning

394
00:25:26,319 –> 00:25:30,839
his academic qualifications, describing him as politically motivated attempts to

395
00:25:30,880 –> 00:25:35,400
tarnish his image. The minister has firmly defended the authenticity

396
00:25:35,440 –> 00:25:40,079
of his University of Nigeria in Suka degree. Speaking through

397
00:25:40,119 –> 00:25:45,160
his spokesperson, doctor Robert n g Wu, the minister said

398
00:25:45,240 –> 00:25:49,480
records from unn confirm he graduated in July nineteen eighty

399
00:25:49,640 –> 00:25:54,279
five with a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and Biochemistry, second

400
00:25:54,319 –> 00:25:59,200
Class Honours, Lower Division. He described recent reports denying his

401
00:25:59,279 –> 00:26:03,960
graduation a false, malicious and politically driven, alleging that the

402
00:26:03,960 –> 00:26:08,480
controversy began after opposition figures took key positions within the university.

403
00:26:09,279 –> 00:26:12,359
Niji revealed that the Federal High Court in Abuja has

404
00:26:12,400 –> 00:26:16,240
issued protective orders restraining the university from tampering with his

405
00:26:16,359 –> 00:26:21,240
records and directing the release of his academic transcript. Reaffirming

406
00:26:21,279 –> 00:26:24,880
his focus on national service, the minister said no amount

407
00:26:24,920 –> 00:26:28,359
of political blackmail or media trial will distract him from

408
00:26:28,359 –> 00:26:33,359
advancing innovation and technology in Nigeria. He urged the University

409
00:26:33,359 –> 00:26:37,039
of Nigeria to uphold its motto to restore the dignity

410
00:26:37,079 –> 00:26:41,240
of man and resist being used for partisan purposes. In

411
00:26:41,279 –> 00:26:45,720
a swift reaction on Tuesday, Enugu State Government denied sponsoring

412
00:26:45,720 –> 00:26:50,599
allegations of certificate forgery against the Minister of Innovation, Science

413
00:26:50,960 –> 00:26:54,960
and Technology, Chief Fuche Naji, urging him to carry his

414
00:26:55,079 –> 00:26:59,720
cross and clear his name before Nigerians. The government, in

415
00:26:59,759 –> 00:27:02,720
a press statement issued in Enugu on Monday by the

416
00:27:02,799 –> 00:27:06,599
Director of Information in the Ministry of Information and Communication,

417
00:27:07,200 –> 00:27:10,799
Mister Chukumekibo, said it had no hand whatsoever in the

418
00:27:10,839 –> 00:27:16,119
controversies surrounding the Minister’s academic records. The Enugu State Government

419
00:27:16,200 –> 00:27:21,160
dissociates itself completely from these allegations. The honorable Minister must

420
00:27:21,160 –> 00:27:24,960
carry his own cross and clear his name before Nigerian’s

421
00:27:25,000 –> 00:27:28,000
instead of dragging the government into issues that are entirely

422
00:27:28,039 –> 00:27:32,759
personal to him, mister Nebo declared. The Director of Information

423
00:27:32,920 –> 00:27:36,279
recalled the Chief Naji had invited journalists to a world

424
00:27:36,359 –> 00:27:39,680
Press conference scheduled for Monday at two PM to address

425
00:27:39,720 –> 00:27:43,359
the matter, but failed to show up. A large number

426
00:27:43,400 –> 00:27:47,440
of Nigerian and international journalists reportedly gathered on the Minister’s

427
00:27:47,480 –> 00:27:51,359
invitation to hear directly from him, but rather than appear

428
00:27:51,440 –> 00:27:55,079
before them to answer questions and establish his innocence, the

429
00:27:55,079 –> 00:27:59,000
Minister of scondid, leaving behind proxies who could not withstand

430
00:27:59,039 –> 00:28:02,839
the barrage of legiit make questions from journalists who can

431
00:28:02,960 –> 00:28:07,440
narrate Chief Naji’s UNN story better than him. Why invite

432
00:28:07,440 –> 00:28:11,480
the media only to outsource the conference? Why send third

433
00:28:11,519 –> 00:28:15,799
parties who lack the answers to critical questions? If he

434
00:28:15,839 –> 00:28:20,079
truly has nothing to hide, mister Nebo queried, did he,

435
00:28:20,559 –> 00:28:23,839
for his screening present a purported degree certificate to the

436
00:28:23,880 –> 00:28:27,440
Senate showing that he graduated from the prestigious University of

437
00:28:27,559 –> 00:28:32,799
Nigeria in Soucca UNN in July nineteen eighty five. Is

438
00:28:32,839 –> 00:28:35,240
it true that he deposed in a Federal High Court

439
00:28:35,319 –> 00:28:38,119
filing in Abuja that he was not issued any degree

440
00:28:38,160 –> 00:28:41,759
certificate by UNN and if so, how did he come

441
00:28:41,839 –> 00:28:45,400
about the degree certificate he presented to the Senate. Is

442
00:28:45,440 –> 00:28:48,319
it also true that while he claims to have graduated

443
00:28:48,359 –> 00:28:52,000
in July nineteen eighty five, he applied to the university

444
00:28:52,119 –> 00:28:56,480
to retake Virology Course Code MCB four hundred and thirty

445
00:28:56,519 –> 00:29:01,160
one in the September nineteen eighty five supplementary examine having

446
00:29:01,240 –> 00:29:04,960
failed the course. Is it also true that the university,

447
00:29:05,319 –> 00:29:08,839
in a November eighth, nineteen eighty five, letter, informed of

448
00:29:08,839 –> 00:29:12,400
a chain RG that he again failed Virology Course Code

449
00:29:12,839 –> 00:29:17,200
MCB four hundred thirty one in the supplementary examinations, but

450
00:29:17,319 –> 00:29:19,920
could register to retake the course in the June nineteen

451
00:29:20,000 –> 00:29:24,119
eighty six examinations provided he paid an examination fee of

452
00:29:24,200 –> 00:29:28,599
fourners four nyra. Is it true that on January third,

453
00:29:28,759 –> 00:29:32,480
nineteen eighty six, he again applied to retake the Virology

454
00:29:32,720 –> 00:29:37,559
Course Code MCB four hundred thirty one examination in June

455
00:29:37,680 –> 00:29:41,079
nineteen eighty six, stating in his letter that the receipt

456
00:29:41,160 –> 00:29:44,720
for the payment of the four niras four nyra reset

457
00:29:44,799 –> 00:29:47,920
fee had been attached. Is it true that, while he

458
00:29:47,960 –> 00:29:51,160
claims to be in possession of a university degree, he

459
00:29:51,240 –> 00:29:55,799
only submitted his secondary school WASC certificate to the Independent

460
00:29:55,880 –> 00:30:00,160
National Electoral Commission i NEC for his participation in the

461
00:30:00,200 –> 00:30:04,839
twenty twenty three governorship election. Why did uchen Naji’s proxy

462
00:30:04,920 –> 00:30:08,839
state at the Abujah press conference that the minister graduated

463
00:30:09,200 –> 00:30:13,119
while avoiding stating categorically that he was issued a degree certificate.

464
00:30:13,839 –> 00:30:18,319
Did he also present a purported NYSC discharge certificate showing

465
00:30:18,319 –> 00:30:21,960
that he commenced his national service in April nineteen eighty five,

466
00:30:22,519 –> 00:30:26,400
three months before his supposed graduation, and served until July

467
00:30:26,519 –> 00:30:30,759
nineteen eighty six, an unusual duration of thirteen months instead

468
00:30:30,799 –> 00:30:34,960
of the usual twelve months of national service. Whereas the

469
00:30:35,000 –> 00:30:38,160
CEO of the NYSC at the time he claimed to

470
00:30:38,160 –> 00:30:41,359
have undergone the national service was Colonel ed A Akpen

471
00:30:41,759 –> 00:30:45,839
January nineteen eighty four to December nineteen eighty seven, huchen

472
00:30:45,920 –> 00:30:50,720
Naji’s NYSC discharge certificate was signed by Colonel anamashn Brimo,

473
00:30:51,079 –> 00:30:54,960
who was NYSC CEO from January nineteen eighty eight to

474
00:30:55,000 –> 00:31:00,000
December nineteen ninety. Is it true that NYSC certificates issue

475
00:31:00,200 –> 00:31:03,680
up till October nineteen ninety had six digit numbering devoid

476
00:31:03,759 –> 00:31:09,240
of alphabetic characters, but uch Naji’s discharge certificate, supposedly issued

477
00:31:09,240 –> 00:31:12,279
in nineteen eighty six was numbered A two three one

478
00:31:12,440 –> 00:31:17,319
three zero nine, which includes the alphabet a and above all,

479
00:31:17,680 –> 00:31:19,839
is it a fact that he deposed to an affidavit

480
00:31:19,960 –> 00:31:22,599
in the suit he filed in court, the UNN did

481
00:31:22,640 –> 00:31:26,240
not issue him any certificate and if that is the case,

482
00:31:26,680 –> 00:31:29,680
Nigerians want to know how he came about the certificate

483
00:31:29,720 –> 00:31:32,119
he submitted to the Senate of his own free will

484
00:31:32,119 –> 00:31:36,839
in twenty twenty three. These are the clarifications Nigerian’s earnestly

485
00:31:36,960 –> 00:31:40,400
yearned four and Chief Uchennaji is urged to brave up

486
00:31:40,440 –> 00:31:43,400
to clear his name if he is truly innocent rather

487
00:31:43,440 –> 00:31:48,519
than trading blames, Nebo stressed. Daily Post newspaper had reported

488
00:31:48,519 –> 00:31:51,920
that an Abuja Federal High Court has rejected a bid

489
00:31:51,920 –> 00:31:56,880
by the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology uch Naji

490
00:31:57,119 –> 00:32:01,319
to stop the University of Nigeria in Sukka n from

491
00:32:01,359 –> 00:32:07,079
releasing his academic records. The Minister of Education, National University’s

492
00:32:07,079 –> 00:32:13,319
Commission n uc UNN, the university’s vice Chancellor, its registrar

493
00:32:13,400 –> 00:32:16,319
and the Senate of the institution were listed as respondents

494
00:32:16,319 –> 00:32:20,359
in the suit. An application for interim injunction filed by

495
00:32:20,400 –> 00:32:23,559
the Minister’s lawyer asked the court to restrain the respondents

496
00:32:23,599 –> 00:32:28,240
from acting on a request for release of his academic records. However,

497
00:32:28,920 –> 00:32:32,519
Justice housey Yil were turned down the application. The Minister

498
00:32:32,680 –> 00:32:35,160
had prayed the court for an order granting leave to

499
00:32:35,200 –> 00:32:38,359
the applicant to issu the prerogative writ of prohibition on

500
00:32:38,440 –> 00:32:41,799
the three thh to fifth and the seventh respondents, the

501

all continuing to tamper with the applicants academic records at UNN.

503
00:32:51,519 –> 00:32:54,480
The minister also prayed for an order granting him leave

504
00:32:54,559 –> 00:32:59,000
to issue the prerogative writ of mandamus compelling the third, two, fifth,

505
00:32:59,000 –> 00:33:01,240
and the seventh response undance to release to him his

506
00:33:01,319 –> 00:33:06,000
academic transcript at the varsity. Other reliefs sought include an

507
00:33:06,079 –> 00:33:09,359
order granting leave to the applicant tradition, the prerogative writ

508
00:33:09,400 –> 00:33:13,039
of mandamus compelling the first and second respondents to ensure,

509
00:33:13,559 –> 00:33:17,640
utilizing their supervisory and disciplinary powers, that the third to

510
00:33:17,960 –> 00:33:20,920
fifth and the seventh respondents released to the applicant his

511
00:33:21,000 –> 00:33:25,680
academic transcript at the University of Nigeria in Succa. An

512
00:33:25,680 –> 00:33:29,480
interim order of injunction restraining the third to fifth and

513
00:33:29,559 –> 00:33:33,200
the seventh respondents from tampering or continuing to tamper with

514
00:33:33,279 –> 00:33:37,759
the applicants’ academic records at the University of Nigeria in Succa,

515
00:33:37,920 –> 00:33:42,720
pending the determination of the substantive suit. In rejecting the application,

516
00:33:42,880 –> 00:33:46,160
after listening to the Council, the Judge held, I have

517
00:33:46,279 –> 00:33:49,799
therefore perused the thirty four paragraph affidavit and the sixth

518
00:33:49,880 –> 00:33:53,880
paragraph affidavit a urgency deposed to buy the applicant the

519
00:33:53,920 –> 00:33:57,599
grounds upon which this application is made, the exhibits attached

520
00:33:57,640 –> 00:34:00,920
there to, and the further affidavit of six paras deposed

521
00:34:00,920 –> 00:34:04,680
to by Martin Luther ACOWI I have equally considered the

522
00:34:04,680 –> 00:34:10,039
written address of Council. I shall therefore refer to paragraphs fifteen, sixteen,

523
00:34:10,440 –> 00:34:15,079
twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, twenty five and twenty

524
00:34:15,159 –> 00:34:18,920
nine of the affidavit in support of this application, Exhibits

525
00:34:18,960 –> 00:34:22,440
one two D and paragraphs three, four and five of

526
00:34:22,440 –> 00:34:25,679
the further affidavit. I’m of the humble view, from the

527
00:34:25,760 –> 00:34:30,119
facts deposed in the affidavits, alongside the exhibits attached, that

528
00:34:30,239 –> 00:34:32,920
the applicant has sufficient interest in the matter to which

529
00:34:32,920 –> 00:34:39,400
this application relates. Thus this application is meritorious. Consequently, I

530
00:34:39,519 –> 00:34:43,800
hereby grant prayer one two and three. Only Prayer four

531
00:34:43,960 –> 00:34:47,880
is declined having been refused. The granting of reliefs one

532
00:34:48,119 –> 00:34:51,400
to three shall not serve as injunctive reliefs against any

533
00:34:51,440 –> 00:34:55,719
of the parties. UNN had disowned the Minister’s certificate in

534
00:34:55,719 –> 00:34:59,639
a letter addressed to Premium Times written by the Vice Chancellor,

535
00:35:00,000 –> 00:35:04,480
Professor Simon Autunia. In the letter dated October two, twenty

536
00:35:04,519 –> 00:35:08,199
twenty five, the university maintained that the Minister did not

537
00:35:08,280 –> 00:35:11,800
complete his studies. We refer to your letter dated the

538
00:35:11,840 –> 00:35:15,320
twenty ninth of September twenty twenty five in respect of

539
00:35:15,360 –> 00:35:19,280
the above subject matter. We can confirm that mister Jeffrey

540
00:35:19,360 –> 00:35:23,880
Uchecha Kunaji, with Matriculation number one thousand, nine hundred and

541
00:35:23,960 –> 00:35:27,840
eighty one thirty thousand, seven hundred and twenty fifths was

542
00:35:27,880 –> 00:35:31,559
admitted by the University of Nigeria in Soucca in nineteen

543
00:35:31,639 –> 00:35:35,719
eighty one. From every available records and information from the

544
00:35:35,840 –> 00:35:40,000
University of Nigeria in Soucca, we are unable to confirm

545
00:35:40,039 –> 00:35:44,079
that mister Jeffrey Uchecha Kunaji, the current Minister of Science

546
00:35:44,119 –> 00:35:48,280
and Technology, graduated from the University of Nigeria in July

547
00:35:48,480 –> 00:35:51,400
nineteen eighty five. As there are no records of his

548
00:35:51,519 –> 00:35:55,480
completion of study in the University of Nigeria in Succa.

549
00:35:56,119 –> 00:36:00,360
Flowing from above, the University of Nigeria INSUCA did not

550
00:36:00,480 –> 00:36:04,199
and consequently could not have issued the purported certificate or

551
00:36:04,239 –> 00:36:07,480
at all in July nineteen eighty five to mister Jeffrey

552
00:36:07,519 –> 00:36:12,360
Mucheccha Kunaji, the current Minister of Science and Technology. This

553
00:36:12,440 –> 00:36:15,760
conclusion is also in consonance with an earlier letter dated

Federal Government of Nigeria, under the leadership of President Bola

561
00:36:49,719 –> 00:36:54,639
Ahmed Tanubuta, immediately released the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader

562

Marzi Namdi Kanu, stating in a statement personally signed and

563
00:36:59,119 –> 00:37:03,239
made available to Media Newsroom on Monday, that ten years

564
00:37:03,280 –> 00:37:06,599
of detention without conviction is a grave violation of the

565
00:37:06,639 –> 00:37:11,639
fundamental human rights of Marsi Namdicru specifically stated verbat in

566
00:37:11,760 –> 00:37:16,559
that the continued detention of mister Karnu without conviction is

567
00:37:16,599 –> 00:37:19,880
not merely a legal anomaly. It is a profound failure

568
00:37:19,920 –> 00:37:23,679
of justice and a grave violation of his fundamental human rights.

569
00:37:24,000 –> 00:37:28,760
His prolonged detention exposes the widening gap between Nigeria’s constitutional

570
00:37:28,800 –> 00:37:32,639
expectations and the daily realities of citizens. We must have

571
00:37:32,679 –> 00:37:36,159
a justice system that acts with both fairness and decisive strength,

572
00:37:36,519 –> 00:37:39,760
not one ensnared in endless procedural limbo and mired in

573
00:37:39,840 –> 00:37:44,239
public distrust. According to the Princess, across the span of

574
00:37:44,280 –> 00:37:48,239
a decade, Marsi Namdicanu has endured one of the longest

575
00:37:48,239 –> 00:37:53,079
and most troubling pre trial detentions in Nigeria’s history. Arrested

576
00:37:53,119 –> 00:37:57,840
in twenty fifteen, accused pleading not guilty and never convicted,

577
00:37:58,239 –> 00:38:01,119
he remains confined in a blatant defiance of the most

578
00:38:01,159 –> 00:38:05,960
fundamental human rights principles. Whereas justice when a man stands

579
00:38:06,039 –> 00:38:10,199
unconvicted for ten years, while those charged with upholding justice

580
00:38:10,280 –> 00:38:15,440
remains silent. The continued detention of mister Karnu without conviction

581
00:38:15,639 –> 00:38:18,599
is not merely a legal anomaly. It is a profound

582
00:38:18,639 –> 00:38:21,920
failure of justice and a grave violation of his fundamental

583
00:38:22,000 –> 00:38:26,719
human rights. His prolonged detention exposes the widening gap between

584
00:38:26,840 –> 00:38:32,199
Nigeria’s constitutional expectations and the daily realities of citizens. We

585
00:38:32,320 –> 00:38:35,239
must have a justice system that acts with both fairness

586
00:38:35,280 –> 00:38:39,239
and decisive strength, not one ensnared in endless procedural limbo

587
00:38:39,320 –> 00:38:44,239
and mired in public distrust. No charge, however grave, should

588
00:38:44,239 –> 00:38:47,760
ever eclipse the principle that every individual is presumed innocent

589
00:38:47,880 –> 00:38:52,039
until proven guilty. That principle is the very cornerstone of

590
00:38:52,159 –> 00:38:55,800
law and must never be broken, regardless of who holds power.

591
00:38:56,519 –> 00:39:00,400
As we call for Marzi Namdi Karnu’s immediate and unconditional freedom,

592
00:39:00,920 –> 00:39:06,480
my heart goes out to millions of Nigerians across tribal lines, generations,

593
00:39:06,519 –> 00:39:10,519
and economic classes, from Bunau to Quara to Legos, crying

594
00:39:10,559 –> 00:39:16,239
out for help against armed violence, force displacement, demolitions, unlawful detentions,

595
00:39:16,519 –> 00:39:21,119
untimely deaths, and the persistent scarcity of life’s most basic necessities.

596
00:39:21,840 –> 00:39:27,159
Beyond politics, every life matters. Marsi Namdicano’s health and spirit

597
00:39:27,199 –> 00:39:30,639
are at grave risk. After ten years behind bars without

598
00:39:30,639 –> 00:39:35,400
a proven crime. This declaration is an urgent proclamation. We

599
00:39:35,480 –> 00:39:39,880
will count every second, every hour, every day and continue

600
00:39:39,920 –> 00:39:44,599
to galvanize until Marsi Namdicano is restored to his rightful freedom.

601
00:39:45,079 –> 00:39:48,559
Nigeria now stands at a cross of roads where history

602
00:39:48,599 –> 00:39:51,760
will judge the true motives of those in power. The

603
00:39:51,800 –> 00:39:54,440
eyes of the world are watching, and the conscience of

604
00:39:54,440 –> 00:39:58,440
the nation is restless. The promise of our democracy depends

605
00:39:58,519 –> 00:40:01,400
not only on acts of courage within the halls of power,

606
00:40:01,440 –> 00:40:05,880
but also on the bold, united actions of citizens. About

act of violence. His prolonged attention, despite serious legal questions

614
00:40:38,719 –> 00:40:42,400
surrounding his rendition and years of unbroken pre trial custody,

615
00:40:42,800 –> 00:40:47,000

634
00:42:17,320 –> 00:42:20,119
have given a clearer picture on how some companies are

635
00:42:20,119 –> 00:42:23,440
apparently aiding and making more money from the ongoing war

636
00:42:23,519 –> 00:42:26,960
in his country Ukraine, saying since the start of the

637
00:42:27,000 –> 00:42:31,639
war four years ago, some unnamed companies in the United States, US,

638
00:42:32,199 –> 00:42:39,880
United Kingdom, uk China, Germany, Taiwan, Switzerland, Japan, Korea, Republic

639
00:42:40,280 –> 00:42:45,039
Netherlands are producing components Russia under President Vladimir Putin is

640
00:42:45,119 –> 00:42:48,920
using to produce weapons of mass destruction to kill his people.

641
00:42:49,280 –> 00:42:52,840
This Zelenski, in his own words, said on Monday that

642
00:42:53,599 –> 00:42:56,360
in the fourth year of the full scale war, Russia

643
00:42:56,400 –> 00:43:00,400
continues to obtain components for producing weapons. During the massive

644
00:43:00,440 –> 00:43:03,599
combined strike on Ukraine on the night of October fifth,

645
00:43:04,039 –> 00:43:08,440
Russia used five hundred forty nine weapons systems containing one

646
00:43:08,519 –> 00:43:13,360
hundred two thousand, seven hundred eighty five foreign made components

647
00:43:13,760 –> 00:43:17,400
from companies in the United States, China and Taiwan, the

648
00:43:17,519 –> 00:43:22,800
United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and

649
00:43:22,880 –> 00:43:26,960
the Netherlands. Nearly one hundred thousand, six hundred eighty eight

650
00:43:27,039 –> 00:43:29,920
of foreign made parts were in the launched attack drones.

651
00:43:30,360 –> 00:43:34,119
About one thousand, five hundred were in ascandas, one hundred

652
00:43:34,360 –> 00:43:37,960
ninety two in Kinsel missiles and four hundred and five

653
00:43:38,039 –> 00:43:42,320
in calibers. Zelensky stated this in a statement made available

654
00:43:42,400 –> 00:43:46,480
through his personal social media profile on Monday, after about

655
00:43:46,519 –> 00:43:48,920
thirty people were injured as a result of the Russian

656
00:43:48,960 –> 00:43:52,440
attack on a moving passenger train, killing one person in

657
00:43:52,519 –> 00:43:57,760
Shoska district of Ukraine on Saturday. According to Zelenski, Ukraine

658
00:43:57,840 –> 00:44:01,039
is preparing new sanctions against those who help Russia and

659
00:44:01,079 –> 00:44:04,320
its war, and we have communicated proposals to curb the

660
00:44:04,320 –> 00:44:08,840
supply schemes. Partners already possess the detailed data on each

661
00:44:08,880 –> 00:44:11,880
company and each product. They know what to target and

662
00:44:11,920 –> 00:44:16,559
how to respond. This week, the G seven sanctions coordinators

663
00:44:16,599 –> 00:44:19,920
will meet and we expect a systemic decision to ensure

664
00:44:19,920 –> 00:44:23,400
that the sanctions are truly effective. It is crucial to

665
00:44:23,440 –> 00:44:27,719
shut down every scheme that circumvents sanctions, because Russia uses

666
00:44:27,760 –> 00:44:30,960
each one to keep killing the world has the power

667
00:44:31,000 –> 00:44:33,760
to stop this. In the fourth year of the full

668
00:44:33,800 –> 00:44:38,239
scale war, Russia continues to obtain components for producing weapons.

669
00:44:39,039 –> 00:44:41,960
During the massive combined strike on Ukraine on the night

670
00:44:42,000 –> 00:44:45,760
of October fifth, Russia used five hundred and forty nine

671
00:44:45,840 –> 00:44:49,880
weapons systems containing one hundred and two thousand, seven hundred

672
00:44:49,880 –> 00:44:53,679
and eighty five foreign made components from companies in the

673
00:44:53,800 –> 00:44:59,440
United States, China and Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Japan,

674
00:44:59,679 –> 00:45:03,679
the rus Public of Korea, and the Netherlands. Nearly one

675
00:45:03,800 –> 00:45:06,840
hundred thousand, six hundred and eighty eight of foreign made

676
00:45:06,880 –> 00:45:10,239
parts were in the launched attack drones, About one thousand,

677
00:45:10,360 –> 00:45:13,360
five hundred were in a scandas one hundred and ninety

678
00:45:13,400 –> 00:45:17,159
two in Kinsel missiles and four hundred and five in calibers.

679
00:45:17,920 –> 00:45:22,360
In particular, companies in the United States manufacture converters for

680
00:45:22,440 –> 00:45:26,679
KH one hundred and one missiles and shad Erran type drones,

681
00:45:27,159 –> 00:45:30,800
senses for those UAVs and for Kinsel missiles, analog to

682
00:45:30,840 –> 00:45:35,480
digital converters for drones and missiles, and microelectronics for missiles.

683
00:45:36,199 –> 00:45:40,000
At least fifty different microelectronic components in each shard are

684
00:45:40,039 –> 00:45:44,760
produced in China and Taiwan. Micro controllers for UAVs are

685
00:45:44,760 –> 00:45:48,840
made in Switzerland, while microcomputers for drone flight control are

686
00:45:48,880 –> 00:45:53,480
produced in the United Kingdom. Opto isolators for cruise missiles

687
00:45:53,559 –> 00:45:58,559
come from Japan, switching connectors from Germany. Russia also uses

688
00:45:58,639 –> 00:46:02,519
processes manufactures in the Netherlands and servo motors and bearings

689
00:46:02,559 –> 00:46:05,960
made in the Republic of Korea. In a separate statement,

690
00:46:06,400 –> 00:46:10,039
Zelensky said, since the start of the full scale invasion,

691
00:46:10,360 –> 00:46:14,159
the capacity of Ukraine’s defense industry has increased by tenfold.

692
00:46:14,880 –> 00:46:18,400
Our production potential for drones and missiles alone will reach

693
00:46:18,519 –> 00:46:22,920
thirty five billion dollars next year. Already, over forty percent

694
00:46:22,960 –> 00:46:25,119
of the weapons in use at the front are either

695
00:46:25,159 –> 00:46:28,960
made in Ukraine or produced with Ukraine, and the share

696
00:46:29,000 –> 00:46:32,760
of our weapons will only grow. The task for manufacturers,

697
00:46:33,119 –> 00:46:36,880
for the Government of Ukraine, for all institutions involved, is

698
00:46:36,920 –> 00:46:38,880
that by the end of the year, no less than

699
00:46:38,920 –> 00:46:41,440
fifty percent of the weapons at the front must be

700
00:46:41,559 –> 00:46:46,320
our Ukrainian weapons, and this task must be accomplished. We

701
00:46:46,440 –> 00:46:49,360
need funding to unleash our full potential, and we are

702
00:46:49,400 –> 00:46:52,400
working with every partner who can help make this possible.

703
00:46:53,079 –> 00:46:57,079
It is time to start exporting our Ukrainian weapons, those

704
00:46:57,119 –> 00:47:00,159
types we have in surplus and can therefore export to

705
00:47:00,239 –> 00:47:03,039
finance the types of weapons that are especially needed for

706
00:47:03,119 –> 00:47:07,639
our defense. I have already instructed the government, the Office

707
00:47:07,840 –> 00:47:11,079
and the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council

708
00:47:11,159 –> 00:47:13,880
of Ukraine to develop and present the key elements of

709
00:47:13,920 –> 00:47:17,800
such an export system. The working title of this program

710
00:47:17,920 –> 00:47:22,960
is Zebroya. Our export product agreements are already in place

711
00:47:23,000 –> 00:47:26,880
to launch export import platforms in Europe, the United States

712
00:47:27,079 –> 00:47:30,079
and the Middle East. The task is to have these

713
00:47:30,119 –> 00:47:33,880
platforms operational by the end of the year. I said

714
00:47:33,880 –> 00:47:37,639
this during the International Defense Industries Forum, which we are

715
00:47:37,679 –> 00:47:41,039
opening for the third time in Ukraine today. On the

716
00:47:41,119 –> 00:47:45,840
recent attack in Shoska area of Ukraine, Zelensky said, Russia

717
00:47:45,880 –> 00:47:49,280
ignores or rebuffs literally every opportunity to end the war

718
00:47:49,360 –> 00:47:53,360
and guarantee security. Putin wants to wage it and do

719
00:47:53,480 –> 00:47:59,960
it by terrorist, despicable methods. Russia must feel the consequences. Europe, Ameica,

720
00:48:00,559 –> 00:48:03,320
the G seven and the G twenty have the power

721
00:48:03,360 –> 00:48:07,320
to deal with any terrorist. A savage Russian drone strike

722
00:48:07,400 –> 00:48:12,119
on the railway station in Shoshka Sumi region. All emergency

723
00:48:12,239 –> 00:48:15,199
services are already on the scene and have begun helping

724
00:48:15,239 –> 00:48:19,880
people all information about the injured is being established. So

725
00:48:20,079 –> 00:48:24,239
far we know of at least thirty victims. Preliminary reports

726
00:48:24,280 –> 00:48:27,599
indicate that both uk Salized Nature staff and passengers were

727
00:48:27,639 –> 00:48:30,519
at the site of the strike. The Russians could not

728
00:48:30,639 –> 00:48:34,320
have been unaware that they were striking civilians, and this

729
00:48:34,480 –> 00:48:37,800
is terror the world must not ignore. Every day Russia

730
00:48:37,840 –> 00:48:41,760
takes people’s lives and only strength can make them stop.

731
00:48:42,119 –> 00:48:45,760
We’ve heard resolute statements from Europe and America and it’s

732
00:48:45,800 –> 00:48:48,719
high time to turn them all into reality, together with

733
00:48:48,840 –> 00:48:52,039
everyone who refuses to accept murder and terror as normal.

734
00:48:52,760 –> 00:48:56,639
Lip service is not enough now, strong action is needed.

735
00:48:56,840 –> 00:49:01,199
Andre sibaher Ukraine Minister of Foreign Affairs, also said that

736
00:49:01,280 –> 00:49:04,840
the attacks were targeted and deliberate Russian drone strikes on

737
00:49:04,960 –> 00:49:10,199
passenger trains in Shostka Sumi region, not one, but two strikes,

738
00:49:10,239 –> 00:49:13,320
one after another. This is one of the most barbaric

739
00:49:13,400 –> 00:49:17,480
Russian tactics, the so called double tap, with the second

740
00:49:17,559 –> 00:49:22,079
attack hitting rescuers and people who are evacuating. Russian terrorists

741
00:49:22,159 –> 00:49:25,440
must get strong responses for this deliberate and brutal terror

742
00:49:25,480 –> 00:49:31,119
against civilians. Words are not enough, New devastating sanctions, new

743
00:49:31,199 –> 00:49:34,320
strengthening for Ukraine. This can be done and must be

744
00:49:34,360 –> 00:49:36,719
done to raise the cost of this war for Russia.

745
00:49:37,400 –> 00:49:40,800
Putin must feel the danger of continuing this war personally

746
00:49:40,880 –> 00:49:44,920
for him and his regime. Jan Lipevsky, Czech Minister of

747
00:49:45,000 –> 00:49:49,519
Foreign Affairs, while reacting to the attack in the Shostka community, said,

748
00:49:49,960 –> 00:49:53,440
while we are voting on Chechia’s security, Russia keeps showing

749
00:49:53,480 –> 00:49:56,760
the world its true face. The attack on the train

750
00:49:56,880 –> 00:49:59,559
running from Shostka to Kiev is yet another proof of

751
00:49:59,559 –> 00:50:04,039
its barber and state terrorism orchestrated by the Kremlin. My

752
00:50:04,239 –> 00:50:06,760
thoughts are with all those injured and their loved ones.

753
00:50:07,239 –> 00:50:12,079
But Victor Viktop, a commentator, in his analysis, said that

754
00:50:12,400 –> 00:50:16,119
Zelensky claimed that Russia allegedly targeted a passenger train at

755
00:50:16,119 –> 00:50:19,800
the Shoskra railway station. There is video of the strike,

756
00:50:20,159 –> 00:50:24,199
but upon closer inspection there was no mention of any passengers.

757
00:50:24,960 –> 00:50:28,079
The footage shows the strike hitting a diesel locomotive and

758
00:50:28,119 –> 00:50:32,239
a freight train loaded with containers immediately behind it. Video one,

759
00:50:33,039 –> 00:50:36,199
it looks like a typical military train. There are no

760
00:50:36,679 –> 00:50:41,559
pure passenger trains. Yes, one car looks similar, but the

761
00:50:41,599 –> 00:50:44,559
rest of the train is filled with containers. Photo ie.

762
00:50:45,400 –> 00:50:49,840
Most likely, this single passenger train was used to protect

763
00:50:49,880 –> 00:50:54,000
the cargo, a common practice when military transport is disguised

764
00:50:54,000 –> 00:50:57,840
as civilian. Now, let’s look at the schedule. No passenger

765
00:50:57,880 –> 00:51:01,559
trains departed from Shostka today. The last train was on

766
00:51:01,639 –> 00:51:04,800
October third, and the next one won’t be until the fifth.

767
00:51:05,239 –> 00:51:07,880
So it’s logical to assume that there simply couldn’t have

768
00:51:07,920 –> 00:51:12,000
been any peaceful passengers there. The free movement of military

769
00:51:12,039 –> 00:51:16,400
cargo across Ukraine has ended. Russia has finally started doing

770
00:51:16,440 –> 00:51:17,239
what it’s supposed to.

778
00:51:47,960 –> 00:51:51,920
platforms that allegedly described President Bola Ahmed to Nubu as

779
00:51:51,960 –> 00:51:54,920
a criminal after the president allegedly said there is no

780
00:51:55,000 –> 00:51:58,400
more corruption in Nigeria while the President was speaking at

781
00:51:58,400 –> 00:52:01,519
an event in Brazil in the month of August twenty

782
00:52:01,599 –> 00:52:07,320
twenty five. According to Omila Saware’s lawyer Tope Temokin, today

783
00:52:07,639 –> 00:52:11,320
at the Federal High Court in Abuja, proceedings commenced in

784
00:52:11,360 –> 00:52:15,840

00:52:53,119 –> 00:52:58,239
lawyers led by Tope Temokin, Abu Baka Marshal Alexander Ikehta,

795
00:53:09,760 –> 00:53:14,199
through Mefessimo Teo Yetebo San Ex Corporation and the d

796
00:53:14,360 –> 00:53:18,280
s S had no council present in court proceedings. The

797
00:53:18,320 –> 00:53:22,079

leave to serve Meta and ex Corporation outside jurisdiction through

799
00:53:26,039 –> 00:53:30,880
electronic means. The originating motion against Meta was also served

800
00:53:30,920 –> 00:53:35,320
in court on Meta’s council adjournment. The court adjourned both

801
00:53:35,400 –> 00:53:40,079
matters to November twentieth, twenty twenty five, for hearing. These

802
00:53:40,119 –> 00:53:43,880
suits filed following the d ss attempted censorship of Sir

803
00:53:43,920 –> 00:53:47,960
Ward’s social media post calling the President a criminal mark

804
00:53:48,000 –> 00:53:52,280
a significant stand against both local repression and international collaboration

805
00:53:52,440 –> 00:53:56,880
in silencing dissenting voices. S War insists that no government

806
00:53:56,960 –> 00:53:59,920
agency or foreign corporation has the right to muzzle not

807
00:54:00,039 –> 00:54:05,280
Nigerians in the digital space. Barrister Tottemokin stated on September thirtieth,

808
00:54:05,360 –> 00:54:08,960
twenty twenty five, at a separate court where the Federal

809
00:54:09,000 –> 00:54:12,559
Government of Nigeria filed a five count charges against the

810
00:54:12,599 –> 00:54:17,039
news media publisher Omiele Saware and the DSS had planned

811
00:54:17,039 –> 00:54:21,159
to arragn the publisher before the court. Vanguard Newspaper reported

812
00:54:21,159 –> 00:54:25,599
that when the matter came up, Saware’s Council Marshal Abubaka

813
00:54:25,760 –> 00:54:29,199
objected to the charges being read, arguing that his client

814
00:54:29,320 –> 00:54:33,199
had not been properly served. He also noted the absence

815
00:54:33,239 –> 00:54:38,400
of legal representation four x. However, Meta was represented in

816
00:54:38,480 –> 00:54:41,719
court by a team led by Senior Advocate of Nigeria,

817
00:54:42,119 –> 00:54:47,880
Teo Yetebo. Justice Mohammad Umar, presiding, directed that Saware be

818
00:54:48,000 –> 00:54:50,800
served in court, an order not opposed by any of

819
00:54:50,800 –> 00:54:55,679
the parties, including Mohammad Babadoko, Director of Public Prosecutions of

820
00:54:55,719 –> 00:54:59,400
the Federation. The court then adjourned the case to October

821
00:54:59,440 –> 00:55:04,360
twenty seven for commencement of trial. Hunch newspaper also reported

822
00:55:04,400 –> 00:55:07,239
that the d PPF then applied for an order to

823
00:55:07,280 –> 00:55:10,559
serve sir Ware in open court, which the judge granted.

824
00:55:11,280 –> 00:55:15,559
Sir War accepted the documents in court. He subsequently requested

825
00:55:15,559 –> 00:55:19,280
three days as provided by law, to study the charge

826
00:55:19,280 –> 00:55:24,079
and prepare his defense. While the d PPF objected, Justice

827
00:55:24,119 –> 00:55:27,320
Garba upheld the request and adjourn the arraignment to October

828
00:55:27,360 –> 00:55:31,000
twenty seventh. The court will adjourn to the twenty seventh

829
00:55:31,079 –> 00:55:34,480
day of October for the arraignment of the defendants. Justice

830
00:55:34,519 –> 00:55:38,639
Garba said the suit dated the sixteenth of September twenty

831
00:55:38,679 –> 00:55:42,239
twenty five was launched after Sir Warey allegedly refused to

832
00:55:42,280 –> 00:55:46,800
delete the controversial posts about the president. The Sahara Reporter’s

833

866
00:58:08,320 –> 00:58:11,199
has indicated that there is a plan by President Bola

867
00:58:11,320 –> 00:58:14,559
Ahmed to Nubu to begin legal action against the country.

868
00:58:14,599 –> 00:58:18,400
Former President good Luck of belelet Jonathan over sustained and

869
00:58:18,480 –> 00:58:22,400
continuous rumors in certain quarters that ex President Jonathan may

870
00:58:22,480 –> 00:58:26,559
have indicated interest to recontest as Nigeria president in twenty

871
00:58:26,639 –> 00:58:30,800
twenty seven. This the Special Advisor to President Bola aremed

872
00:58:30,840 –> 00:58:34,719
To Nubu on Information and Strategy, BeO on Anugu, said

873
00:58:34,800 –> 00:58:39,000
Jonathan is welcome to join the twenty twenty seven presidential

874
00:58:39,039 –> 00:58:42,119
electoral race, but Jonathan will have his date in the

875
00:58:42,159 –> 00:58:46,000
Court of the Land. Indeed, the jury will determine whether Jonathan,

876
00:58:46,199 –> 00:58:50,119
who was sworn in twice as president, satisfies the constitutional

877
00:58:50,199 –> 00:58:53,519
requirements and is eligible to contest the presidency and be

878
00:58:53,599 –> 00:58:57,239
sworn in if successful for a third term in office.

879
00:58:58,000 –> 00:59:00,639
It would be recalled that ex President Joe Jonathan was

880
00:59:00,679 –> 00:59:05,239
one of the most criticized presidents in Nigeria, with politicians

881
00:59:05,280 –> 00:59:08,800
including President Bolah Ahmed Tanubu, who was then a chieftain

882
00:59:08,840 –> 00:59:12,800
of the Action Congress of Nigeria ACN, forming a coalition

883
00:59:12,920 –> 00:59:17,039
of All Progressives Congress APC to defeat the incumbent president

884
00:59:17,119 –> 00:59:21,639
in twenty fifteen. Currently, there is also a coalition formed

885
00:59:21,679 –> 00:59:26,599
by politicians in Nigeria the African Democratic Congress ADC to

886
00:59:26,639 –> 00:59:30,679
defeat and remove President Tanubu from office in twenty twenty seven,

887
00:59:30,760 –> 00:59:34,559
and lately reports indicated that the former President good Luck

888
00:59:34,599 –> 00:59:39,559
Jonathan is considering joining the African Democratic Congress ADC, but

889
00:59:39,679 –> 00:59:44,000
no official announcement has been made. The speculation intensified after

890
00:59:44,119 –> 00:59:48,119
Jonathan met with ad C national Chairman David Mark in

891
00:59:48,199 –> 00:59:52,480
late September twenty twenty five amidst ongoing discussions about the

892
00:59:52,480 –> 00:59:57,519
twenty twenty seven presidential election, and Jonathan’s closed door meeting

893
00:59:57,639 –> 01:00:01,559
with ad C leaders on September twentie, twenty twenty five

894
01:00:02,079 –> 01:00:06,039
fueled widespread speculation about his potential run for the presidency

895
01:00:06,119 –> 01:00:10,320
on their platform. In a statement issued on Monday, bo

896
01:00:10,400 –> 01:00:15,079
on Anuga, the spokesperson to President Boler Ahmed Tanubu, said,

897
01:00:15,400 –> 01:00:18,840
as we begin the march towards the twenty twenty seven elections,

898
01:00:18,880 –> 01:00:22,239
prematurely foisted on the nation by the desperation of the

899
01:00:22,280 –> 01:00:27,039
opposition ganging up against President Boler Tanubu, despite his glaring

900
01:00:27,159 –> 01:00:30,639
giant economic strides, we are once again regaled with a

901
01:00:30,679 –> 01:00:34,119
cacophony of voices, most of them full of sound and fury,

902
01:00:34,440 –> 01:00:38,760
signifying nothing to paraphrase inimitable William Shakespeare in one of

903
01:00:38,800 –> 01:00:43,519
his classic works, Macbeth. One recent statement that stands out

904
01:00:43,559 –> 01:00:47,760
in its absurdity is Professor Jerry Garners, the former Minister

905
01:00:47,840 –> 01:00:52,400
of Information and National Orientation, moving to draft former President

906
01:00:52,440 –> 01:00:56,239
good Luck Jonathan into the two thousand and seven presidential race,

907
01:00:56,599 –> 01:00:59,679
affirmed that the former president would contest the coming election

908
01:00:59,760 –> 01:01:03,880
on the platform of the discredited People’s Democratic Party PDP,

909
01:01:04,280 –> 01:01:08,320
which bequeathed the legacy of economic ruins after sixteen years

910
01:01:08,320 –> 01:01:12,960
of bad governance. Garner even deluded himself, asserting that the

911
01:01:13,000 –> 01:01:16,599
former president would defeat President Tanubu to reclaim power after

912
01:01:16,679 –> 01:01:21,239
twelve years. Professor Garner of the defunct m am se

913
01:01:21,599 –> 01:01:24,440
R fame is free to delude himself and engage in

914
01:01:24,480 –> 01:01:28,760
his usual comedy. After all, Jonathan’s entering the race would

915
01:01:28,760 –> 01:01:32,360
provide another job for the Niger State born former university

916
01:01:32,440 –> 01:01:36,840
don However, we should caution former President Jonathan to be

917
01:01:36,920 –> 01:01:41,880
wary of the PDP sugar coated cheerleaders. Politicians of Jerry

918
01:01:41,880 –> 01:01:44,480
Garner’s ilk merely want to lure him into the race

919
01:01:44,519 –> 01:01:50,159
to satisfy their personal political, religious, and ethnic interests. They

920
01:01:50,199 –> 01:01:53,719
will abandon him midstream as they did in twenty fifteen,

921
01:01:54,079 –> 01:01:58,000
and leave gentlemen Jonathan in the lurch. Don’t get us wrong,

922
01:01:58,440 –> 01:02:01,480
President Jonathan reserves the right to run if he wishes.

923
01:02:02,280 –> 01:02:05,599
It is his inalienable right to contest the presidency again.

924
01:02:06,079 –> 01:02:09,679
President Tanoubu will wholeheartedly welcome him if he decides to

925
01:02:09,840 –> 01:02:13,000
enter the race, But Jonathan will have his date in

926
01:02:13,079 –> 01:02:16,960
the court of the land. Indeed, the jury will determine

927
01:02:16,960 –> 01:02:22,039
whether Jonathan, who was sworn in twice as president, satisfies

928
01:02:22,079 –> 01:02:26,079
the constitutional requirements and is eligible to contest the presidency

929
01:02:26,079 –> 01:02:29,320
and be sworn in if successful, for a third term

930
01:02:29,360 –> 01:02:33,519
in office. Shorn of all those selfish considerations for which

931
01:02:33,559 –> 01:02:38,360
some PDP big guns find his candidacy appealing, President Jonathan

932
01:02:38,400 –> 01:02:40,880
will also have his encounter with the people as to

933
01:02:40,920 –> 01:02:44,159
whether he has anything new to offer after his disastrous

934
01:02:44,199 –> 01:02:47,559
six years for which they voted him out in twenty fifteen.

935
01:02:48,440 –> 01:02:52,760
Let us remind ourselves about Jonathan’s record. We cannot forget

936
01:02:52,800 –> 01:02:55,840
in a hurry, how his regime, devoid of any clear

937
01:02:55,880 –> 01:03:00,440
economic agenda, engaged in frivolous spending, ran the economy ground

938
01:03:00,480 –> 01:03:04,840
and put the country in dire straits. The nation’s economic downturn,

939
01:03:05,199 –> 01:03:09,239
which President Tanubu is working very hard to overcome, actually

940
01:03:09,239 –> 01:03:14,320
began under President Jonathan. The Jonathan administration severely damaged the

941
01:03:14,360 –> 01:03:19,400
economy and all key indicators declined under his watch. Under him,

942
01:03:19,519 –> 01:03:23,559
the so called business moguls allocated foreign exchange to import fuel,

943
01:03:23,920 –> 01:03:28,119
simply pocketing the dollars without importing anything. Some of those

944
01:03:28,159 –> 01:03:31,199
big men still have court cases on the issue today.

945
01:03:32,000 –> 01:03:37,239
Jonathan and his National Security Advisor, Colonel Sambo Dusuki, retired

946
01:03:37,440 –> 01:03:42,360
freely distributed security funds to friends and cronies. In twenty ten,

947
01:03:42,719 –> 01:03:46,519
President Jonathan inherited a total of sixty six billion dollars,

948
01:03:46,880 –> 01:03:49,840
of which forty six billion dollars was in foreign reserves

949
01:03:49,840 –> 01:03:52,880
and twenty billion dollars in the noble but abused excess

950
01:03:52,920 –> 01:03:57,800
crude account. By twenty fifteen, when the people democratically removed

951
01:03:57,840 –> 01:04:01,440
him from office, the foreign reserves had fallen below thirty

952
01:04:01,440 –> 01:04:04,800
billion dollars and the excess crude account had been depleted

953
01:04:04,800 –> 01:04:09,079
to two billion dollars. Despite generating record revenue from crude

954
01:04:09,079 –> 01:04:12,119
oil sales that the country had never achieved in more

955
01:04:12,159 –> 01:04:15,920
than twenty five years combined. It is on record that

956
01:04:16,000 –> 01:04:19,639
between twenty ten and twenty thirteen, crude oil sold for

957
01:04:19,679 –> 01:04:23,199
an average of dollar one hundred per barrel. By December

958
01:04:23,239 –> 01:04:27,599
twenty fourteen, however, the Jonathan led federal government could no

959
01:04:27,639 –> 01:04:31,920
longer pay salaries to federal civil servants. At least twenty

960
01:04:31,960 –> 01:04:35,599
eight states across the country owed workers huge salary arrears.

961
01:04:36,440 –> 01:04:40,519
In contrast, President Nubu has taken bold decisions over the

962
01:04:40,599 –> 01:04:44,000
last twenty eight months to reset the economy, removing the

963
01:04:44,079 –> 01:04:48,280
ruinous fuel subsidy in abolishing multiple exchange rates which paid

964
01:04:48,280 –> 01:04:52,400
the way for arbitrage to flourish. The president has stabilized

965
01:04:52,440 –> 01:04:56,199
the economy in slightly over two years in office. In

966
01:04:56,280 –> 01:04:59,960
twenty twenty five Q two, the gross domestic product grew

967
01:05:00,239 –> 01:05:03,639
by four point two three percent, the highest in four years,

968
01:05:03,920 –> 01:05:07,679
outpacing the three point four percent projected by the International

969
01:05:07,719 –> 01:05:12,320
Monetary Fund. Inflation decreased to twenty point one two percent

970
01:05:12,400 –> 01:05:16,239
in August twenty twenty five, the lowest level in three years.

971
01:05:17,039 –> 01:05:20,960
The fine reserves stand presently at forty two dollars oh

972
01:05:21,000 –> 01:05:26,440
three billion. The Naira has virtually stabilized. Investor confidence in

973
01:05:26,519 –> 01:05:30,519
our economy has been restored and investors are betting on Nigeria.

974
01:05:31,280 –> 01:05:34,760
In plain language, the nation has turned the corner and

975
01:05:34,920 –> 01:05:37,679
our people have started reaping the gains of the bold

976
01:05:37,760 –> 01:05:43,599
reforms instituted by the Tanubu administration. Road infrastructure is being boosted.

977
01:05:44,039 –> 01:05:47,519
Old roads are being reconstructed, while new ones like the

978
01:05:47,599 –> 01:05:52,440
Lagos Kalabar Coastal Highway and the Sokotoba Dagri Highway, among others,

979
01:05:52,679 –> 01:05:56,800
as springing up. The government is addressing security issues in

980
01:05:56,880 –> 01:05:59,800
some parts of the country. We can go on and

981
01:05:59,840 –> 01:06:05,639
on reeling out the many macroeconomic gains of the Tanubu administration. However,

982
01:06:06,039 –> 01:06:08,920
the point is that the PDP and Jerry Gana’s co

983
01:06:09,039 –> 01:06:14,039
travelers broke the economy. President Tanubu is fixing it. President

984
01:06:14,119 –> 01:06:17,480
Jonathan and others are welcome to the twenty twenty seven race.

985
01:06:18,280 –> 01:06:22,199
They broke the economy before, but millions of Nigerians who

986
01:06:22,199 –> 01:06:25,159
will not easily forget the recent past, will not allow

987
01:06:25,199 –> 01:06:26,960
him to return and run it down again.

988
01:06:30,239 –> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 5: Lady Quindi Binni.

989
01:06:34,440 –> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 1: Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu on Friday stated that many

990
01:06:39,000 –> 01:06:41,840
world leaders who do come out publicly to condemn the

991
01:06:42,000 –> 01:06:46,079
Israel war in Gaza do privately thank Israel for staging

992
01:06:46,119 –> 01:06:49,880
the war against Tamas, and according to Benjamin Natanyahu, the

993
01:06:49,920 –> 01:06:53,840
world leaders tell me how much they value Israel’s superb

994
01:06:53,880 –> 01:06:58,039
intelligence services that have prevented time and again terrorist attacks

995
01:06:58,079 –> 01:07:02,280
in their capitals, time and again, saving countless lives. General

996
01:07:02,360 –> 01:07:07,000
George Keegan, former head of US Air Force Intelligence, once said,

997
01:07:07,320 –> 01:07:09,920
if the United States had to gather on its own

998
01:07:10,000 –> 01:07:13,079
the intelligence that Israel gives us, we would have to

999
01:07:13,199 –> 01:07:17,719
establish five sea hires, five sea iyres. This past June,

1000
01:07:18,079 –> 01:07:22,599
when Israel struck Around’s nuclear facilities, German Chancellor Mertz admitted

1001
01:07:22,639 –> 01:07:26,519
the truth this Benjamin Natanya, who stated when the speech

1002
01:07:26,679 –> 01:07:30,960
was being broadcast live via huge loudspeakers that were placed

1003
01:07:31,000 –> 01:07:35,480
on the Gaza border while the Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Natanya,

1004
01:07:35,559 –> 01:07:39,320
who was speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, which

1005
01:07:39,639 –> 01:07:42,679
his appearance drew a mix of applause and protest, with

1006
01:07:42,800 –> 01:07:45,199
some delegates walking out of the hall as he took

1007
01:07:45,280 –> 01:07:48,480
the stage, you know deep down that Israel is fighting

1008
01:07:48,519 –> 01:07:52,079
your fight. I want to tell you a secret behind

1009
01:07:52,159 –> 01:07:55,679
closed doors. Many of the leaders who publicly condemn us

1010
01:07:56,000 –> 01:08:00,880
privately thank us. Benjamin Natanjah, who stated in response, Prime

1011
01:08:00,960 –> 01:08:04,760
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated and blamed the Israel war in

1012
01:08:04,840 –> 01:08:08,920
Gaza on Iran, saying iran terra axis threatened the peace

1013
01:08:09,000 –> 01:08:12,480
of the entire world. Some parts of the long speech

1014
01:08:12,519 –> 01:08:16,479
by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations General

1015
01:08:16,520 –> 01:08:21,880
Assembly are presented verbatim below. Mister President, the families of

1016
01:08:21,880 –> 01:08:25,880
our dear hostages languishing in the dungeons of Gaza, Ladies

1017
01:08:25,880 –> 01:08:29,600
and gentlemen. Last year, I stood at this podium, and

1018
01:08:29,720 –> 01:08:33,079
I showed this map. It shows the curse of Iran’s

1019
01:08:33,159 –> 01:08:37,199
terror axis. This axis threatened the peace of the entire world.

1020
01:08:37,640 –> 01:08:40,319
It threatened the stability of our region and the very

1021
01:08:40,399 –> 01:08:44,800
existence of my country Israel. Iran was rapidly developing a

1022
01:08:44,840 –> 01:08:49,359
massive nuclear weapons program and a massive ballistic missile program.

1023
01:08:49,720 –> 01:08:52,760
These were meant not only to destroy Israel, they were

1024
01:08:52,760 –> 01:08:56,840
meant also to threaten the United States and blackmail nations everywhere.

1025
01:08:57,439 –> 01:09:01,439
From Gaza Yehya Sin were dispatched waves of Hamas terrorists.

1026
01:09:01,880 –> 01:09:05,520
They stormed into Israel on October seventh and committed acts

1027
01:09:05,520 –> 01:09:10,960
of unspeakable savagery. From Lebanon, Hassan Nasralla had launched thousands

1028
01:09:10,960 –> 01:09:14,880
of missiles and rockets at our cities, terrorizing our citizens.

1029
01:09:15,680 –> 01:09:20,520
In Syria, the murderous dictator Hassad hosted Iran’s forces, tightening

1030
01:09:20,600 –> 01:09:24,159
a noose of death around our throats. In Yemen, the

1031
01:09:24,239 –> 01:09:28,640
Huthis launched ballistic missiles at Israel while choking global trade

1032
01:09:28,640 –> 01:09:31,640
at the mouth of the Red Sea. So what’s happened

1033
01:09:31,640 –> 01:09:35,680
over the past year. We’ve hammered the Huthis, including yesterday,

1034
01:09:36,119 –> 01:09:40,239
we crushed the bulk of Hermas’s terror machine. We crippled Hesbalah,

1035
01:09:40,640 –> 01:09:43,439
taking out most of its leaders and much of its weapons.

1036
01:09:43,520 –> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 3: Arsenal.

1037
01:09:44,680 –> 01:09:49,600
Speaker 1: Remember those beepers, the pages we paged Hesbalah, and believe me,

1038
01:09:50,039 –> 01:09:52,760
they got the message and thousands of terrorists dropped to

1039
01:09:52,800 –> 01:09:57,479
the ground. We destroyed Assad’s armaments in Syria, we deterred

1040
01:09:57,479 –> 01:10:01,960
Iran’s Chiayed militias in Iraq. And most importantly, and above

1041
01:10:02,000 –> 01:10:04,039
everything else that I could say to you, all that

1042
01:10:04,159 –> 01:10:07,079
we did in this past year, in this past decade,

1043
01:10:07,159 –> 01:10:12,119
we devastated Iran’s atomic weapons and ballistic missile programs. Here’s

1044
01:10:12,159 –> 01:10:16,039
where things stand today. Half the Hothy leadership are Yemen,

1045
01:10:16,359 –> 01:10:21,640
Gon Yehya Sinma in Gaza, Gon Hassan Nazrella in Lebanon,

1046
01:10:21,920 –> 01:10:27,159
Gon the Hassan regime in Syria gone. Those militias in Iraq,

1047
01:10:27,479 –> 01:10:31,399
well they’re still deterred, and their leaders, if they attack

1048
01:10:31,520 –> 01:10:35,319
Israel will also be gone. And for Iran’s top military

1049
01:10:35,359 –> 01:10:39,560
commanders and its top nuclear scientists, well the gone too.

1050
01:10:40,479 –> 01:10:44,399
Israel’s twelve day war with Iran, which I renamed Operation

1051
01:10:44,600 –> 01:10:49,079
Rising Lion, that’s from the Bible. This twelve day war

1052
01:10:49,119 –> 01:10:52,359
will go down in the annals of military history. Are

1053
01:10:52,479 –> 01:10:56,720
daring pilots neutralized Iran’s missile defenses and took control of

1054
01:10:56,760 –> 01:10:58,079
the skies over Tehran.

1055
01:10:58,920 –> 01:10:59,600
Speaker 3: You saw this.

1056
01:11:00,119 –> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 1: Israeli fighter pilots and American B two pilots bombed Iran’s

1057
01:11:03,960 –> 01:11:08,119
nuclear enrichment sites. I want to thank President Trump for

1058
01:11:08,159 –> 01:11:12,399
his bold and decisive action. President Trump and I promised

1059
01:11:12,399 –> 01:11:16,720
to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, and we delivered

1060
01:11:16,760 –> 01:11:20,479
on that promise. We removed an existential threat to Israel

1061
01:11:20,800 –> 01:11:24,359
and a mortal threat to the civilized world. We lifted

1062
01:11:24,359 –> 01:11:27,239
a dark cloud that could have claimed millions and millions

1063
01:11:27,319 –> 01:11:32,279
of lives. But ladies and gentlemen, we must remain vigilant.

1064
01:11:32,640 –> 01:11:36,399
We must remain absolutely clear minded and vigilant. We must

1065
01:11:36,479 –> 01:11:40,359
not allow Iran to rebuild its military nuclear capacities. A

1066
01:11:40,479 –> 01:11:45,000
ran stoppile of enriched uranium. These stop piles must be eliminated,

1067
01:11:45,359 –> 01:11:49,479
and tomorrow U N Security Council sanctions on Iran must

1068
01:11:49,520 –> 01:11:53,000
be snapped back. Thanks to the resolve of our people,

1069
01:11:53,359 –> 01:11:56,600
the courage of our soldiers, and the bold decisions we took,

1070
01:11:56,960 –> 01:11:59,720
Israel rebounded from its darkest day to deliver one of

1071
01:11:59,720 –> 01:12:03,520
them most stunning military comebacks in history. But we’re not

1072
01:12:03,680 –> 01:12:06,680
done yet. The final remnants of her mass are holed

1073
01:12:06,760 –> 01:12:10,039
up in Gaza City. They vow to repeat the atrocities

1074
01:12:10,079 –> 01:12:13,439
of October seventh again and again and again, no matter

1075
01:12:13,479 –> 01:12:17,439
how diminish their forces. That is why Israel must finish

1076
01:12:17,479 –> 01:12:19,600
the job, and that is why we want to do

1077
01:12:19,720 –> 01:12:23,760
so as fast as possible. Ladies and gentlemen, Much of

1078
01:12:23,800 –> 01:12:28,079
the world no longer remembers October seventh, but we remember.

1079
01:12:28,439 –> 01:12:33,039
Israel remembers October seventh on that day. I’ll tell you

1080
01:12:33,159 –> 01:12:37,520
can remember October seventh too. You see this large pin here,

1081
01:12:37,920 –> 01:12:40,720
It’s a QR code. What I ask you to do

1082
01:12:40,840 –> 01:12:43,840
is hold up your phones, zoom in, and you too

1083
01:12:43,880 –> 01:12:46,319
will see why we fight and why we must win.

1084
01:12:47,159 –> 01:12:50,680
It’s all in here on October seventh, her Mass carried

1085
01:12:50,720 –> 01:12:54,279
out the worst attack on due since the Holocaust. They

1086
01:12:54,399 –> 01:12:58,279
slought in one thousand, two hundred innocent people, including over

1087
01:12:58,359 –> 01:13:01,960
forty Americans and five and nationals from dozens of countries

1088
01:13:02,039 –> 01:13:06,920
represented here. They beheaded men, They raped women. They burned

1089
01:13:06,960 –> 01:13:11,600
babies alive. They burned babies alive in front of their parents.

1090
01:13:12,079 –> 01:13:15,680
What monsters? These monsters took more than two hundred and

1091
01:13:15,720 –> 01:13:21,439
fifty people hostage. Those included Holocaust survivors, grandmothers, grandmothers, and

1092
01:13:21,479 –> 01:13:26,920
the grandchildren. Who takes hostage grandmothers and grandchildren her mass does.

1093
01:13:27,359 –> 01:13:30,359
So far, we’ve brought home two hundred and seven of

1094
01:13:30,399 –> 01:13:34,319
these hostages, but forty eight still remain in the dungeons

1095
01:13:34,319 –> 01:13:39,439
of Gaza. Twenty of them are alive, starved, tortured, deprived

1096
01:13:39,479 –> 01:13:43,479
of any daylight, deprived of humanity. These are the names

1097
01:13:43,479 –> 01:13:48,119
of the twenty living hostages. Mattan Angrest Gali and Zibberman

1098
01:13:48,680 –> 01:13:54,960
brothers Elkanna, bobot Ron Braslavski, Nimrod Cohen, Ariel and David Cuneo.

1099
01:13:55,079 –> 01:14:00,119
Another pair of brothers, Guy Gilbo adlal Iviatar David. You

1100
01:14:00,199 –> 01:14:04,600
saw the picture of Viatar David, emaciated, forced to dig

1101
01:14:04,720 –> 01:14:10,399
his own grave, maxim herkn Aytenhorn, Segev Khalfan Barr kuperestein

1102
01:14:10,720 –> 01:14:16,520
Omri Meron eight and Moore, Joseph him o’hanna, alonohl Aveneitener

1103
01:14:16,640 –> 01:14:21,399
and mattann’s Angauka. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want to

1104
01:14:21,439 –> 01:14:24,199
do something I have never done before. I want to

1105
01:14:24,239 –> 01:14:27,880
speak from this forum directly to those hostages through loud speakers.

1106
01:14:28,640 –> 01:14:32,079
I’ve surrounded Gaza with massive loud speakers connected to this

1107
01:14:32,239 –> 01:14:35,119
microphone in the hope that our dear hostages will hear

1108
01:14:35,239 –> 01:14:38,279
my message. I will say, at first in Hebrew and

1109
01:14:38,319 –> 01:14:42,920
then in English. Hebrew are brave heroes. This is Prime

1110
01:14:42,960 –> 01:14:47,239
Minister Nettan Yahoo speaking to you live from the United Nations.

1111
01:14:47,640 –> 01:14:50,840
We have not forgotten you, not even for a second.

1112
01:14:51,279 –> 01:14:54,640
The people of Israel are with you. We will not falter,

1113
01:14:55,000 –> 01:14:57,640
and we will not rest until we bring all of

1114
01:14:57,680 –> 01:15:02,000
you home, Ladies and gentlemen. Thanks to special efforts by

1115
01:15:02,079 –> 01:15:06,039
Israeli intelligence, my words are now also being carried their

1116
01:15:06,079 –> 01:15:09,439
streamed live to the cell phones of Ghazans, so to

1117
01:15:09,479 –> 01:15:13,600
the remaining Hamas leaders and to the jailers of our hostages.

1118
01:15:13,960 –> 01:15:18,119
I now say, lay down your arms, let my people go.

1119
01:15:18,520 –> 01:15:22,239
Free the hostages, all of them, the whole forty eight.

1120
01:15:22,600 –> 01:15:23,640
Free the hostages.

1121
01:15:23,720 –> 01:15:23,960
Speaker 3: Now.

1122
01:15:24,279 –> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 1: If you do, you will live. If you don’t, Israel

1123
01:15:27,920 –> 01:15:31,359
will hunt you down. Ladies and gentlemen. If her mass

1124
01:15:31,439 –> 01:15:34,479
agrees to our demands, the war could end right now.

1125
01:15:35,159 –> 01:15:40,119
Gaza would be demilitarized, Israel would retain overriding security control,

1126
01:15:40,520 –> 01:15:43,880
and a peaceful civilian authority would be established by Ghazans

1127
01:15:43,880 –> 01:15:47,680
and others committed to peace with Israel. Of course, you

1128
01:15:47,840 –> 01:15:51,520
understand that the war in Gaza has affected every Israeli.

1129
01:15:51,880 –> 01:15:55,079
But I am sure there are people in New York, London,

1130
01:15:55,399 –> 01:15:58,359
Melbourne and elsewhere who are probably thinking, what does all

1131
01:15:58,399 –> 01:16:02,159
of this have to do with me? The answer is everything,

1132
01:16:02,600 –> 01:16:07,319
because our enemies are your enemies. Let’s do something else. Another. First,

1133
01:16:07,399 –> 01:16:10,600
at the u N, let’s to a pop quiz. Raise

1134
01:16:10,680 –> 01:16:14,239
your hand if you know the answer. First question, who

1135
01:16:14,359 –> 01:16:19,399
shouts death to America? Is it a Iran b Hamas

1136
01:16:19,800 –> 01:16:24,399
c hesbalah b, the huthis or e? All of the above?

1137
01:16:25,159 –> 01:16:29,479
All of the above correct, all of the above. Second question,

1138
01:16:29,880 –> 01:16:33,760
who has murdered Americans and Europeans? In cold blood a

1139
01:16:33,760 –> 01:16:39,520
al qa’eda b Hamas c Hesbalah b Iran or e

1140
01:16:39,760 –> 01:16:43,760
all of the above, correct again all of the above.

1141
01:16:44,239 –> 01:16:47,239
So here’s the point. I want to make our enemies

1142
01:16:47,239 –> 01:16:50,319
hate all of us with equal venom. They want to

1143
01:16:50,399 –> 01:16:53,199
drag the modern world back to the past, to a

1144
01:16:53,279 –> 01:16:57,760
dark age of violence, fanaticism, and terror. I think many

1145
01:16:57,800 –> 01:17:00,600
of you are already feeling in your own societes the

1146
01:17:00,680 –> 01:17:04,960
radical Islamist surge. I’m sure you do. You know deep

1147
01:17:05,039 –> 01:17:08,119
down that Israel is fighting your fight. I want to

1148
01:17:08,159 –> 01:17:11,680
tell you a secret. Behind closed doors, many of the

1149
01:17:11,760 –> 01:17:16,399
leaders who publicly condemn us privately thank us. They tell

1150
01:17:16,439 –> 01:17:20,319
me how much they value Israel’s superb intelligence services that

1151
01:17:20,439 –> 01:17:23,880
have prevented time and again terrorist attacks in their capitals,

1152
01:17:24,279 –> 01:17:29,239
time and again, saving countless lives. General George Keegan, former

1153
01:17:29,319 –> 01:17:33,039
head of US Air Force Intelligence, once said, if the

1154
01:17:33,199 –> 01:17:36,000
United States had to gather on its own the intelligence

1155
01:17:36,079 –> 01:17:39,359
that Israel gives us, we would have to establish five

1156
01:17:39,439 –> 01:17:45,520
cias five cias. This past June, when Israel struck Iran’s

1157
01:17:45,600 –> 01:17:50,880
nuclear facilities, German Chancellor Mertz admitted the truth. He said,

1158
01:17:51,079 –> 01:17:53,880
Israel is doing the dirty work for all of us.

1159
01:17:54,720 –> 01:17:58,279
President Trump understands better than any other leader that Israel

1160
01:17:58,319 –> 01:18:01,800
and America face a common threat. He showed the world

1161
01:18:01,800 –> 01:18:06,319
that when Iran and its proxy’s murder Americans take Americans hostage,

1162
01:18:06,680 –> 01:18:10,399
shout death to America, burn American flags, and try to

1163
01:18:10,439 –> 01:18:14,720
assassinate the President of the United States, not once, but twice,

1164
01:18:15,560 –> 01:18:17,640
he showed them there is a price to pay for

1165
01:18:17,720 –> 01:18:22,279
all that. Regrettably, many leaders who are represented in this hall,

1166
01:18:22,760 –> 01:18:26,600
they send a very different message. Sure in the days

1167
01:18:26,640 –> 01:18:31,359
immediately following October seventh, many of them supported Israel, but

1168
01:18:31,479 –> 01:18:35,079
that support quickly evaporated when Israel did what any self

1169
01:18:35,159 –> 01:18:37,479
respecting nation would do in the wake of such a

1170
01:18:37,520 –> 01:18:38,319
savage attack.

1171
01:18:42,920 –> 01:18:46,640
Speaker 5: Lady quingi Ingim.

1172
01:18:47,239 –> 01:18:50,279
Speaker 1: Justice James Amatosho of the Federal High Court, sitting in

1173
01:18:50,359 –> 01:18:54,319
Abuja on Friday, rule that the detained Biafra agitation leader

1174
01:18:54,800 –> 01:18:58,640
Namdi Kanu has case to answer because the Nigeria government

1175
01:18:58,680 –> 01:19:03,560
prosecution team provided some evidence that requires explanations from the

1176
01:19:03,600 –> 01:19:08,920
detained Biaffre leader. This the coordinating lawyer to Namdykaro, Barrister

1177
01:19:08,960 –> 01:19:11,680
A Layergy mccourse, said the judgment of the court does

1178
01:19:11,720 –> 01:19:15,800
not mean Namdi Carnu has been pronounced guilty. Rather, the

1179
01:19:15,920 –> 01:19:19,680
ruling indicated that he should give explanations to certain evidences

1180
01:19:19,720 –> 01:19:22,760
the Federal Government of Nigeria brought before the court.

1181
01:19:23,520 –> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 3: It would be recalled.

1182
01:19:24,479 –> 01:19:27,119
Speaker 1: That the ruling on the no case submission filed by

1183
01:19:27,159 –> 01:19:29,920
Namdi Kano that was earlier slated to be held on

1184
01:19:30,000 –> 01:19:34,239
October tenth, twenty twenty five, was abridged and rescheduled to Friday,

1185
01:19:34,319 –> 01:19:38,760
the twenty sixth of September twenty twenty five. Justice James

1186
01:19:38,760 –> 01:19:42,680
Omatosha also rejected request by KRNO to be transferred from

1187
01:19:42,760 –> 01:19:46,359
custody of the Department of State Services DSS to the

1188
01:19:46,439 –> 01:19:51,520
National Hospital, Abuja for medical examination over alleged deteriorating health issues.

1189
01:19:52,319 –> 01:19:56,520
The court subsequently ordered the President of Nigerian Medical Association

1190
01:19:57,039 –> 01:20:00,520
an MA to constitute an investigation committee to b examined

1191
01:20:00,560 –> 01:20:03,479
Karnu’s medical condition and submit a report to it in

1192
01:20:03,560 –> 01:20:06,880
eight days, following objection by DSS to his request to

1193
01:20:06,920 –> 01:20:10,319
be transferred to National Hospital for second opinion on his

1194
01:20:10,439 –> 01:20:14,000
health condition. We had earlier in the year reported that

1195
01:20:14,079 –> 01:20:17,039
the case between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the

1196
01:20:17,039 –> 01:20:20,960
detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Nandi Karnu

1197
01:20:21,000 –> 01:20:23,800
apparently took a new technical twist after one of the

1198
01:20:23,880 –> 01:20:28,840
lawyers of the detained Biafra leader, Paul Rikoro San presented

1199
01:20:28,880 –> 01:20:32,079
and played three videos which the Federal High Court sitting

1200
01:20:32,159 –> 01:20:35,920
in Abuja later admitted in evidence. The videos of former

1201
01:20:36,000 –> 01:20:40,840
Nigeria Chief of Army Staff, retired General Theophilis Danjuma saying

1202
01:20:41,199 –> 01:20:45,640
security operatives in the West Africa country, specifically the armed

1203
01:20:45,720 –> 01:20:49,640
forces are working together with the armed bandits to kill Nigerians,

1204
01:20:49,680 –> 01:20:53,439
stressing that if Nigerians depend on the armed forces to

1205
01:20:53,520 –> 01:20:56,800
curb in security, they will all die one by one.

1206
01:20:56,840 –> 01:20:59,880
Also that of Governor Hope whose odenbur of im Hoostate

1207
01:21:00,399 –> 01:21:04,399
saying politicians are behind killings in the state. Lastly, in

1208
01:21:04,479 –> 01:21:07,439
the most interesting video played at the court to counter

1209
01:21:07,560 –> 01:21:11,439
the testimony or statement made by the DSS prosecutor witness

1210
01:21:11,479 –> 01:21:16,880
over Nandi Kalu led Ipo be founding Eastern Security Network ESN,

1211
01:21:16,920 –> 01:21:20,840
allegedly created by group of youths in the Southeastern geopolitical

1212
01:21:20,960 –> 01:21:24,439
zone of Nigeria often referred to as Biafra Land to

1213
01:21:24,520 –> 01:21:28,800
fight in self defense against Fulani armed bandits or terrorists

1214
01:21:28,800 –> 01:21:31,880
that were advancing and killing people in the Eastern State

1215
01:21:32,079 –> 01:21:35,520
during the era of President Mohammadu Buhari was that of

1216
01:21:35,520 –> 01:21:39,479
the Director General of the Department of State Services DSS

1217
01:21:39,760 –> 01:21:43,760
Adeolar Jai, who is apparently the government chief complainer in

1218
01:21:43,800 –> 01:21:47,119
the case, and the DSSDG in the video recorded and

1219
01:21:47,159 –> 01:21:51,479
published by Symphony News Media in February twenty twenty five,

1220
01:21:51,960 –> 01:21:56,359
narrated how youths of Asare community in Katagum Local Government

1221
01:21:56,479 –> 01:21:59,800
Area and Tafawa blay Were community of Tafawa Biley were

1222
01:21:59,800 –> 01:22:02,840
the us Local Government area in Bauchi State. When the

1223
01:22:02,920 –> 01:22:08,000
DSSDG was the state Director of State Security Services SSS,

1224
01:22:08,439 –> 01:22:12,159
resorted to self help and killed all Boko Haram terrorists

1225
01:22:12,199 –> 01:22:15,880
that came to attack them without depending on the security operatives.

1226
01:22:16,199 –> 01:22:21,279
According to the DSSDG, when Boko Haram terrorists invaded Azare community,

1227
01:22:21,640 –> 01:22:25,039
they started shooting and killing people. Then the uthes went

1228
01:22:25,079 –> 01:22:28,079
after the Boko Haram terrorists and killed all of them.

1229
01:22:28,119 –> 01:22:31,680
Even when one of the Boko Haram terrorists named Khalid

1230
01:22:31,840 –> 01:22:35,039
climbed a tree and started firing gunshots from the tree

1231
01:22:35,079 –> 01:22:38,000
towards the people who were on the lower ground, the

1232
01:22:38,000 –> 01:22:42,159
Azare people resisted and went after him and subsequently killed him.

1233
01:22:42,359 –> 01:22:46,840
Although the federal government prosecution witness identified as BBB, who

1234
01:22:46,920 –> 01:22:50,800
is a DSS operative, stated that the ESN is an

1235
01:22:50,840 –> 01:22:54,399
illegal organization because there is no approval of government given

1236
01:22:54,479 –> 01:22:57,319
to the people of Southeast to establish such a self

1237
01:22:57,359 –> 01:23:00,600
helped group to defend their land against terrorists, unlike a

1238
01:23:00,640 –> 01:23:03,800
MOTEC and security network in the Southwest States that was

1239
01:23:03,840 –> 01:23:07,920
approved and permitted by the government, also claiming his boss,

1240
01:23:08,199 –> 01:23:11,960
the DSSDG in the video was asking communities to build

1241
01:23:12,000 –> 01:23:15,840
the first line of defense by thus working with security operatives,

1242
01:23:16,279 –> 01:23:20,119
But a careful and detailed study of the DSSDG speech

1243
01:23:20,239 –> 01:23:23,960
in the video shows that the FG witness BBB probably

1244
01:23:24,039 –> 01:23:27,319
talked off points totally off key from the original intent

1245
01:23:27,399 –> 01:23:31,760
and intention of mister Adeola Jaii, the DSSDG teachings and

1246
01:23:31,840 –> 01:23:35,159
advice in the video, who had said the azare community

1247
01:23:35,239 –> 01:23:38,960
people acted in quick response to an emergency situation, and

1248
01:23:39,039 –> 01:23:42,960
the storyline indicated that the people of azare prepared themselves

1249
01:23:43,000 –> 01:23:47,159
in advance, likely purchasing and acquiring firearms equivalent to AK

1250
01:23:47,439 –> 01:23:50,319
forty seven riffles to be able to face and kill

1251
01:23:50,399 –> 01:23:54,039
all the BOCO harm terrorists that invaded the community as

1252
01:23:54,159 –> 01:23:58,680
narrated by the DSSDG and if true, the DSSDG the

1253
01:23:58,760 –> 01:24:01,640
chief complainer must also so be ordered to appear before

1254
01:24:01,680 –> 01:24:03,880
the court as a defender in the case to present

1255
01:24:03,960 –> 01:24:07,880
a certified true copy of government approval given to Azare

1256
01:24:08,000 –> 01:24:11,960
people to defend themselves or prove beyond reasonable doubts how

1257
01:24:12,039 –> 01:24:15,720
the people of Azare community were able to kill merely

1258
01:24:15,760 –> 01:24:18,560
with the bare hands all the Boko Haram terrorists that

1259
01:24:18,640 –> 01:24:22,960
invaded their community with high precision weapons of mass destructions.

1260
01:24:23,000 –> 01:24:27,199
In addition, the DSSDG in the video probably advocated for

1261
01:24:27,239 –> 01:24:30,479
the need for all individuals in Nigeria to have a

1262
01:24:30,520 –> 01:24:33,600
gun because he gave an example of a visit to

1263
01:24:33,640 –> 01:24:37,560
the United States of America USA. When his host in

1264
01:24:37,640 –> 01:24:40,960
the US heard a police siren sound, he quickly brought

1265
01:24:41,000 –> 01:24:43,920
out his gun and said if the criminal chased after

1266
01:24:43,960 –> 01:24:47,680
by the US police ran into his apartment, he would

1267
01:24:47,720 –> 01:24:50,359
use the gun to kill the criminal suspect and that

1268
01:24:50,439 –> 01:24:53,840
not all. The DSSDG in the video also recalled and

1269
01:24:53,960 –> 01:24:57,840
referenced the words of nigeria former Head of State, Retired

1270
01:24:57,880 –> 01:25:02,520
General Ibrahem Badamassi Babinghida. The Defense security must end in Nigeria,

1271
01:25:03,159 –> 01:25:06,199
Nigerians must be ready to resort to self help like

1272
01:25:06,319 –> 01:25:08,359
the people of a czar community did.

1273
01:25:08,720 –> 01:25:12,680
Speaker 7: The really simply, it simply requires the imagine Lambicanoy to

1274
01:25:12,720 –> 01:25:16,199
defend thant to enter his defense. It’s not a pronunciation

1275
01:25:16,319 –> 01:25:19,600
of guilty or not guilty. So that is why it’s

1276
01:25:19,600 –> 01:25:22,199
called a case submissions. So the judge made a ruling

1277
01:25:22,199 –> 01:25:24,720
that there has a primary facie evidence that.

1278
01:25:24,800 –> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 3: Needs to be explained.

1279
01:25:26,399 –> 01:25:29,840
Speaker 7: So in common palance, it’s cause on him to come

1280
01:25:30,000 –> 01:25:31,319
and mount his own defense.

1281
01:25:31,840 –> 01:25:33,399
Speaker 3: But there is the other aspect.

1282
01:25:33,039 –> 01:25:37,199
Speaker 7: Of the ruling that concerned extraordinary rendition. That very one

1283
01:25:37,359 –> 01:25:41,600
is one that compounded us. Because the extraordinary rendition of

1284
01:25:41,640 –> 01:25:47,239
Amazine Lambicano is so open and notorious. Two international institutions

1285
01:25:47,399 –> 01:25:50,920
or two separate partners of the United Nations have made

1286
01:25:51,039 –> 01:25:54,840
pronouncements regarding his extraordinary rendition and coll for his own

1287
01:25:54,880 –> 01:25:58,560
additional release. Nigeria is a member of the United Nations

1288
01:25:58,640 –> 01:26:02,640
and they are four pound to consider that and implement

1289
01:26:02,720 –> 01:26:07,920
that decision. And in Nigeria here three courts have made

1290
01:26:08,039 –> 01:26:11,239
similar pronouncements. First was by the Federal High Court OM

1291
01:26:11,520 –> 01:26:14,199
which awarded in five hundred million my era and the

1292
01:26:14,279 –> 01:26:18,199
Court of appill As who pronounced that he was a

1293
01:26:18,279 –> 01:26:21,399
victim of its RNA rendition. And in the Spreme Court,

1294
01:26:21,680 –> 01:26:24,279
the same Spreme Court has sent this case back to

1295
01:26:24,399 –> 01:26:30,359
trial reached the same conclusion that he was a victim

1296
01:26:30,399 –> 01:26:33,920
of astura rendition. And all these things are of the record,

1297
01:26:34,560 –> 01:26:37,840
they’re all in the fire. And we remember when this

1298
01:26:38,600 –> 01:26:41,680
trial was being conducted, these very documents were attend that

1299
01:26:41,760 –> 01:26:45,600
in evidence. So it compounded us. He confused us that

1300
01:26:45,720 –> 01:26:49,920
the court now made a pronouncement that the Runa edition

1301
01:26:50,399 –> 01:26:53,760
had no evidence before the court, that no evidence of

1302
01:26:53,800 –> 01:26:56,880
it was forbitten before the court. And you remember, Liz

1303
01:26:57,000 –> 01:26:59,920
what not the last recently a Kenyan had High Court

1304
01:27:00,279 –> 01:27:02,960
made the same pronouncement. But where if the court was

1305
01:27:03,039 –> 01:27:08,439
mislaid by believing by mistake that these things were not

1306
01:27:08,479 –> 01:27:11,239
in evidence, it also said and left the door open,

1307
01:27:11,600 –> 01:27:15,279
that’s what evidence be submitted. So we’re coming back with

1308
01:27:15,319 –> 01:27:20,479
that evidence and it’s going to be quantum and leisure. Enemy,

1309
01:27:21,039 –> 01:27:24,920
Well don’t want to it wasn’t in evidence that in

1310
01:27:24,960 –> 01:27:29,520
a medical association has intervened. So it came as a surprise. Well,

1311
01:27:29,560 –> 01:27:33,279
there’s a short date giving of eight days for the enemy.

1312
01:27:33,039 –> 01:27:36,399
Speaker 3: To submit this report. So somebody is I somebody is ill.

1313
01:27:36,640 –> 01:27:36,880
You know.

1314
01:27:37,000 –> 01:27:39,640
Speaker 7: I don’t think Anya is going to change much of that.

1315
01:27:39,680 –> 01:27:42,600
But I think the George wanted to leave the record

1316
01:27:42,680 –> 01:27:47,000
open to admit every possible evidence regarding this matter. And

1317
01:27:47,159 –> 01:27:51,359
but meantime, we’re disappointed. Our client remains ill and remains

1318
01:27:51,359 –> 01:27:54,399
the tent and we’re not happy about that. His situation

1319
01:27:54,520 –> 01:27:58,760
requires and imagine care. So whatever the court says today

1320
01:27:58,880 –> 01:28:01,800
does not mean that the government shall we draw back

1321
01:28:01,960 –> 01:28:04,880
just two days ago I wrote it later, a private

1322
01:28:04,920 –> 01:28:08,680
hospital has also express readiness to admit him here in

1323
01:28:08,760 –> 01:28:11,720
Abuja for security regions. I would mention the name of

1324
01:28:11,760 –> 01:28:15,039
the private hospital, but the government. If the government appears

1325
01:28:15,079 –> 01:28:18,359
to have issues with taking him to the National hospital,

1326
01:28:18,399 –> 01:28:21,279
we have given them an option of the private hospital

1327
01:28:21,560 –> 01:28:23,119
also here in Abuja.

1328
01:28:23,000 –> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 8: So it’s says to say that the.

1329
01:28:26,039 –> 01:28:30,119
Speaker 7: Application to transfer to the national rejected.

1330
01:28:30,239 –> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 3: No, it is spending. One of the informations has been.

1331
01:28:33,640 –> 01:28:37,760
Speaker 7: Rejected is pending, depending the admission of resupport from the

1332
01:28:37,840 –> 01:28:42,560
Niger Medical Association and the opinion of nager Medical Association.

1333
01:28:42,640 –> 01:28:43,960
And you know, if you weren’t caught.

1334
01:28:44,319 –> 01:28:45,479
Speaker 3: The judge had ordered that.

1335
01:28:45,720 –> 01:28:48,960
Speaker 7: The committee or panel to be considered by the Niger

1336
01:28:49,079 –> 01:28:52,760
Medicalization shall have a member from the National Hospital, so

1337
01:28:52,920 –> 01:28:54,399
National Hospital is still in place.

1338
01:28:59,520 –> 01:29:04,199
Speaker 1: President of France Emmanuel Macron and its US counterpart Donald

1339
01:29:04,199 –> 01:29:07,319
Trump on Tuesday engaged in a tough talk over the

1340
01:29:07,359 –> 01:29:11,439
recognition of Palestine state and the Israeli war in Gaza

1341
01:29:11,560 –> 01:29:15,039
during the bilateral meeting both held on the sideline of

1342
01:29:15,119 –> 01:29:19,199
the UN General Assembly in New York, where the French

1343
01:29:19,239 –> 01:29:23,079
president insisted that Israel has already achieved more by killing

1344
01:29:23,119 –> 01:29:26,720
the top militia leaders of HERMAS, saying it doesn’t work

1345
01:29:26,760 –> 01:29:29,479
to dismantle the harmas this is not the right way

1346
01:29:29,520 –> 01:29:33,319
to proceed, he said, while President Trump had reiterated and

1347
01:29:33,479 –> 01:29:36,359
insisted that things will not work the way. The French

1348
01:29:36,399 –> 01:29:40,760
president had suggested that the October seventh, twenty twenty three

1349
01:29:40,800 –> 01:29:44,199
hostages still in the custody of HERMAS cannot be honored

1350
01:29:44,239 –> 01:29:47,640
with such suggestions. The meeting was held when videos of

1351
01:29:47,720 –> 01:29:52,439
the French President Emmanuel Macron and Turkish President resepered Awan

1352
01:29:52,560 –> 01:29:56,079
went viral on the Internet, where both presidents were stopped

1353
01:29:56,159 –> 01:29:59,399
or blocked separately by New York police operatives as they

1354
01:29:59,479 –> 01:30:02,199
tried to cross streets in the New York City over

1355
01:30:02,279 –> 01:30:05,720
yet to be seen incoming motorcade of their counterpart, President

1356
01:30:06,199 –> 01:30:11,159
Donald Trump. The French President Emmanuel Macron called Donald Trump

1357
01:30:11,199 –> 01:30:13,720
on the phone after his journey to the French Embassy

1358
01:30:13,880 –> 01:30:17,199
was blocked by police offices preparing for the motorcade of

1359
01:30:17,239 –> 01:30:21,000
the US president, but that of the Turkish president recept

1360
01:30:21,159 –> 01:30:25,199
Erdowan could be seen quickly surrounded by his security team

1361
01:30:25,279 –> 01:30:28,279
in a manner that makes the president looked apparently in shot.

1362
01:30:28,319 –> 01:30:31,640
The moment, some group of New York police officers advanced

1363
01:30:31,680 –> 01:30:35,159
towards them to stop the Turkish presidential team from crossing

1364
01:30:35,199 –> 01:30:39,720
the road. According to New York Times, nothing frustrates a

1365
01:30:39,800 –> 01:30:42,319
New Yorker in a hurry like finding that a street

1366
01:30:42,399 –> 01:30:45,239
has been blocked off because some big shot is in town.

1367
01:30:46,079 –> 01:30:49,279
Apparently the same is true for the President of France,

1368
01:30:49,560 –> 01:30:54,479
Emmanuel Macron. On Monday evening, mister Macron, in New York

1369
01:30:54,520 –> 01:30:57,880
for the UN General Assembly, was stuck on a Manhattan

1370
01:30:57,920 –> 01:31:01,640
street corner that had been closed off President Trump’s motorcade.

1371
01:31:02,359 –> 01:31:05,600
The meeting of world leaders is, among other things, a

1372
01:31:05,720 –> 01:31:10,279
traffic nightmare. At first, mister Macron did what many New

1373
01:31:10,359 –> 01:31:13,399
Yorkers might do. He pleaded with a police officer to

1374
01:31:13,520 –> 01:31:16,840
let him cross the street. I have ten people with me,

1375
01:31:17,359 –> 01:31:20,960
mister Macron told the officer, according to video that shows

1376
01:31:21,000 –> 01:31:23,920
the French president making his case on the street corner,

1377
01:31:24,560 –> 01:31:27,760
I go to the French embassy. But the officer politely

1378
01:31:27,840 –> 01:31:30,720
held his ground and would not let mister Macron cross

1379
01:31:30,760 –> 01:31:35,479
the street. I’m sorry, President, I’m really sorry, he told

1380
01:31:35,520 –> 01:31:39,279
mister Macron. It’s just that everything’s been frozen.

1381
01:31:39,399 –> 01:31:39,960
Speaker 3: Right now.

1382
01:31:40,319 –> 01:31:44,640
Speaker 1: There’s a motorcade coming right now. I’m sorry. Mister Macron,

1383
01:31:44,840 –> 01:31:47,560
who has engaged in diplomacy to try to end the

1384
01:31:47,600 –> 01:31:52,079
wars in Ukraine and Gaza, tried again. I negotiate with you,

1385
01:31:52,560 –> 01:31:56,439
the French president said on the video. When that didn’t work,

1386
01:31:56,880 –> 01:32:00,479
mister Macron did what average New Yorkers cannot do. He

1387
01:32:00,520 –> 01:32:02,760
pulled out his phone and called the President of the

1388
01:32:02,880 –> 01:32:07,359
United States. How are you, he asked mister Trump, cell

1389
01:32:07,399 –> 01:32:10,680
phone pressed to his ear. Yes, what I am waiting

1390
01:32:10,760 –> 01:32:14,079
the street because everything is frozen for you. It was

1391
01:32:14,159 –> 01:32:17,279
not clear from the video what mister Trump said, but

1392
01:32:17,399 –> 01:32:20,640
mister Macron chuckled and told the American president that he

1393
01:32:20,720 –> 01:32:23,199
was hoping to have a discussion with him and Katari

1394
01:32:23,279 –> 01:32:27,359
officials about the situation in Gaza. The White House did

1395
01:32:27,399 –> 01:32:30,880
not immediately respond to a request for comment. On Tuesday,

1396
01:32:31,600 –> 01:32:35,000
the French President’s office confirmed that while leaving the United

1397
01:32:35,079 –> 01:32:38,760
Nations on Monday evening, mister Macron was caught in a

1398
01:32:38,840 –> 01:32:41,880
freeze when the streets were blocked to allow the American

1399
01:32:42,000 –> 01:32:46,720
President’s motorkey to pass. Mister Macron’s office confirmed that mister

1400
01:32:46,800 –> 01:32:50,079
Macron used the opportunity to call mister Trump and said

1401
01:32:50,079 –> 01:32:53,640
the two had a very warm and amicable discussion about

1402
01:32:53,680 –> 01:32:58,520
international issues. Mister Macron was eventually allowed to cross the street.

1403
01:32:58,960 –> 01:33:03,439
Video from Brute, a French news outlet, showed him walking

1404
01:33:03,520 –> 01:33:07,279
past food carts and posing for photos with people, including

1405
01:33:07,279 –> 01:33:10,359
a man who planted a kiss on his forehead. The

1406
01:33:10,479 –> 01:33:13,760
New York Police Department said in a statement that thousands

1407
01:33:13,760 –> 01:33:16,159
of offices were on call this week to ensure the

1408
01:33:16,199 –> 01:33:19,479
safety of New Yorkers and foreign dignitaries during the UN

1409
01:33:19,560 –> 01:33:24,359
General Assembly. Mercy to President Macron for recognizing the dedication

1410
01:33:24,520 –> 01:33:28,439
and tireless efforts of our offices who safeguard this annual event,

1411
01:33:28,840 –> 01:33:34,000
the department said. During the bilateral meeting, President Macron asked

1412
01:33:34,039 –> 01:33:38,159
President Donald Trump that since over two years the Israel

1413
01:33:38,239 –> 01:33:42,159
war in Gaza began, what has been achieved. The French

1414
01:33:42,199 –> 01:33:44,760
president said it is not right to proceed with the

1415
01:33:44,800 –> 01:33:48,479
aim of dismantling Hermas in the Palestinian city of Gaza,

1416
01:33:48,680 –> 01:33:52,159
emphasizing that recognizing the Palestinian state does not mean the

1417
01:33:52,159 –> 01:33:56,000
Hermas October seventh, twenty twenty three attack would be forgotten.

1418
01:33:56,720 –> 01:34:00,319
According to Macron, many French people were killed and injured

1419
01:34:00,399 –> 01:34:04,520
during the attack in Israel, adding he visited shortly after

1420
01:34:04,560 –> 01:34:08,640
the attack to meet with the affected families. President Donald

1421
01:34:08,640 –> 01:34:12,079
Trump had said that October seventh, twenty twenty three is

1422
01:34:12,119 –> 01:34:15,039
one of the world’s most saddest days in Astroy that

1423
01:34:15,119 –> 01:34:19,600
cannot be forgotten, saying it was a day babies being

1424
01:34:19,640 –> 01:34:23,319
sliced into half, young children’s heads were washed, being chopped

1425
01:34:23,399 –> 01:34:26,720
off by the Hamas, and it cannot be forgotten, adding

1426
01:34:27,079 –> 01:34:29,600
he has always said the last hostages will be the

1427
01:34:29,640 –> 01:34:33,600
toughest ones, apparently to rescue that the suggestion of the

1428
01:34:33,600 –> 01:34:49,640
French president will not honor the hostages.

1429
01:34:48,800 –> 01:35:19,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, thank you, follow up primaries.

1430
01:35:20,920 –> 01:36:30,960
Speaker 10: We are.

1431
01:36:02,880 –> 01:36:05,880
Speaker 11: Who is always saying the last passages are gonna be

1432
01:36:05,920 –> 01:36:11,239
the toughest ones. But you can’t honor them by doing

1433
01:36:11,279 –> 01:36:13,880
anything like you suggest. All you can do is say

1434
01:36:13,920 –> 01:36:16,880
we want our hostages back, and we want we want

1435
01:36:16,960 –> 01:36:17,560
the world to end.

1436
01:36:17,600 –> 01:36:18,680
Speaker 10: We’re gonna want it to end.

1437
01:36:18,920 –> 01:36:22,760
Speaker 12: Nobody forgets the seventh of October. I went there a

1438
01:36:22,800 –> 01:36:26,479
few days after taking families in my in my hands,

1439
01:36:26,520 –> 01:36:31,720
and and it’s we experienced all together the horrific attacks

1440
01:36:31,920 –> 01:36:34,960
and and and by the way, we lost a lot

1441
01:36:34,960 –> 01:36:39,079
of French people in distables attacks. But after almost two

1442
01:36:39,199 –> 01:36:42,359
years of war, what is what is the result? Once

1443
01:36:42,399 –> 01:36:45,880
again they killed the top leaders of Hamas.

1444
01:36:45,880 –> 01:36:46,520
Speaker 8: It works.

1445
01:36:46,720 –> 01:36:49,039
Speaker 12: This is a great achievement, but at the same time

1446
01:36:49,079 –> 01:36:53,039
you have as many Hammas fighters as you had the

1447
01:36:53,119 –> 01:36:56,880
first day, so it doesn’t work to dismantle the Hammas.

1448
01:36:57,039 –> 01:36:59,399
This is not the right, the right way to proceed.

1449
01:37:01,199 –> 01:37:02,600
Speaker 5: Quingi, INGI.

1450
01:37:04,560 –> 01:37:06,560
Speaker 1: There is no doubt that this week may be an

1451
01:37:06,600 –> 01:37:10,199
interesting week in the international community, as world leaders gather

1452
01:37:10,279 –> 01:37:13,920
for the twenty twenty five United Nations General Assembly Meeting

1453
01:37:14,039 –> 01:37:17,560
to discuss and take a standover decades of conflicts between

1454
01:37:17,720 –> 01:37:20,800
Israel and the people of Palestine, especially some of them

1455
01:37:20,840 –> 01:37:25,199
well known as Hamas fighters, over territorial integrity and sovereignty.

1456
01:37:25,680 –> 01:37:29,279
Most especially ever, since the State of Palestine was officially

1457
01:37:29,319 –> 01:37:34,319
declared by the Palestine Liberation Organization PLO on the fifteenth

1458
01:37:34,399 –> 01:37:38,439
of November nineteen eighty eight, claiming sovereignty over the West Bank,

1459
01:37:38,800 –> 01:37:42,359
which includes East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, and as

1460
01:37:42,359 –> 01:37:45,399
at the end of nineteen eighty eight, over seventy eight

1461
01:37:45,479 –> 01:37:50,560
countries approved the declaration, including Nigeria that recognized Palestinian state

1462
01:37:50,640 –> 01:37:55,000
barely three days after the declaration on November eighteenth, nineteen

1463
01:37:55,079 –> 01:37:58,800
eighty eight, and the numbers have been increasing particularly since

1464
01:37:58,920 –> 01:38:02,720
the beginning of twenty four like never before. As at

1465
01:38:02,760 –> 01:38:06,760
September twenty first, twenty twenty five, over one hundred and

1466
01:38:06,840 –> 01:38:09,800
fifty one countries out of the one hundred and ninety

1467
01:38:09,920 –> 01:38:14,880
three United Nations members have recognized the Palestinian State, including

1468
01:38:15,039 –> 01:38:18,920
United Kingdom UK, which its recognition appears to be more

1469
01:38:18,960 –> 01:38:22,680
disturbing to the Israeli government, with the Israeli Prime Minister

1470
01:38:23,000 –> 01:38:26,640
Benjamin Netanyahoo issuing what he described as a clear message

1471
01:38:26,680 –> 01:38:29,920
to the world leaders recognizing Palestine as a country of

1472
01:38:29,960 –> 01:38:35,399
its own that it’s not going to happen. The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada,

1473
01:38:35,439 –> 01:38:38,920
among others, declared and announced their recognition of the Palestinian

1474
01:38:39,079 –> 01:38:43,960
State on September twenty first, twenty twenty five, while countries

1475
01:38:44,079 –> 01:38:47,800
like Germany, Italy, Japan, and South Korea, among others, are

1476
01:38:47,840 –> 01:38:51,439
yet to make their position known. In a video broadcast

1477
01:38:51,520 –> 01:38:55,920
on Sunday, the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said today

1478
01:38:56,279 –> 01:38:58,760
to revive the hope of peace for the Palestinians and

1479
01:38:58,840 –> 01:39:02,760
Israelis and two due state solution, the United Kingdom formally

1480
01:39:02,800 –> 01:39:06,479
recognizes the State of Palestine, adding that the recognition is

1481
01:39:06,560 –> 01:39:09,840
not a reward for her Mass, reiterating that the United

1482
01:39:09,920 –> 01:39:13,279
Kingdom has already prescribed and sanctioned her Mass as a

1483
01:39:13,399 –> 01:39:17,159
terrorist organization, saying any member of her Mass will not

1484
01:39:17,199 –> 01:39:20,199
be a member of the Palestinian government, including joining the

1485
01:39:20,239 –> 01:39:24,680
security architectures of the Palestinian State. Her statement by the

1486
01:39:24,720 –> 01:39:28,199
Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin netanya who issued a few

1487
01:39:28,239 –> 01:39:31,600
hours after the video broadcast by the Prime Minister of

1488
01:39:31,640 –> 01:39:35,800
the United Kingdom, Kir Starmer, The Israel Prime Minister said

1489
01:39:35,800 –> 01:39:38,359
there would never be a Palestinian state to the west

1490
01:39:38,399 –> 01:39:42,840
of the Jordan River. In quotes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah

1491
01:39:42,880 –> 01:39:45,680
who said, I have a clear message to those leaders

1492
01:39:45,680 –> 01:39:49,439
who are recognizing a Palestinian state after the horrendous October

1493
01:39:49,520 –> 01:39:53,399
seventh massacre. You are rewarding terror with an enormous prize,

1494
01:39:53,960 –> 01:39:56,920
and I have another message for you. It’s not going

1495
01:39:57,000 –> 01:40:00,319
to happen. There will be no Palestinian state to the

1496
01:40:00,319 –> 01:40:03,880
west of the Jordan River. For years I have prevented

1497
01:40:03,880 –> 01:40:07,840
the creation of that terror state against tremendous pressure, both

1498
01:40:07,880 –> 01:40:11,840
domestic and from abroad. We have done this with determination

1499
01:40:12,279 –> 01:40:16,000
and with this chute statesmanship. Moreover, we have doubled the

1500
01:40:16,079 –> 01:40:19,680
Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria, and we will continue

1501
01:40:19,680 –> 01:40:23,079
on this path. The response to the latest attempt to

1502
01:40:23,119 –> 01:40:25,399
force upon us a terra state in the heart of

1503
01:40:25,439 –> 01:40:28,039
our land will be given after my return from the

1504
01:40:28,159 –> 01:40:30,560
United States. Stand by.

1505
01:40:31,119 –> 01:40:33,680
Speaker 8: In the face of the growing horror in the Middle East.

1506
01:40:34,600 –> 01:40:38,119
Speaker 13: We are acting to keep alive the possibility of peace

1507
01:40:38,880 –> 01:40:42,960
and a two state solution that means a safe and

1508
01:40:43,039 –> 01:40:49,760
secure Israel alongside a viable Palestinian state. At the moment,

1509
01:40:50,800 –> 01:40:57,560
we have neither an Ordinary people Israeli and Palestinians deserve

1510
01:40:57,680 –> 01:41:01,520
to live in peace, to try to rebuild their lives

1511
01:41:01,800 –> 01:41:06,760
free from violence and suffering. That’s what the British people

1512
01:41:07,239 –> 01:41:08,720
desperately want to see.

1513
01:41:10,319 –> 01:41:10,680
Speaker 3: Yes.

1514
01:41:11,439 –> 01:41:15,319
Speaker 13: Almost two years after the barbaric attacks of October, the

1515
01:41:15,359 –> 01:41:21,600
seven hostages are still held by the terrorists of Hamas.

1516
01:41:22,479 –> 01:41:29,199
Recent images show the hostages suffering and emaciated. Hermas even

1517
01:41:29,319 –> 01:41:34,479
refuse to release all the bodies of the dead. I

1518
01:41:34,520 –> 01:41:38,239
have met British families of the hostages. I see the

1519
01:41:38,359 –> 01:41:43,399
torture that they endure each and every day, pain that

1520
01:41:43,479 –> 01:41:47,840
strikes deep in people’s hearts across Israel and here in

1521
01:41:47,880 –> 01:41:54,279
the United Kingdom. The hostages must be released immediately, and

1522
01:41:54,319 –> 01:41:58,439
we will keep fighting to bring them home. Let’s be

1523
01:41:58,720 –> 01:42:05,239
frank is a brutal terror organization. Our call for a

1524
01:42:05,399 –> 01:42:11,079
genuine two state solution is the exact opposite of their

1525
01:42:11,119 –> 01:42:17,119
hateful vision. So we are clear this solution is not

1526
01:42:17,399 –> 01:42:20,640
a reward for her Mass, because it means her Mass

1527
01:42:20,800 –> 01:42:24,800
can have no future, no role in government, no role

1528
01:42:24,880 –> 01:42:29,399
in security. We have already prescribed and sanctioned her Mass,

1529
01:42:30,399 –> 01:42:34,079
and we will go further. I have directed work to

1530
01:42:34,159 –> 01:42:41,000
sanction other Hamas figures in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the

1531
01:42:41,039 –> 01:42:46,760
man made humanitarian crisis in Gaza reaches new depths. Continue

1532
01:42:46,760 –> 01:42:52,800
the Israeli governments relentless and increasing bombardment of Gaza the

1533
01:42:52,840 –> 01:42:58,840
offensive of recent weeks, the starvation and devastation.

1534
01:42:59,319 –> 01:43:01,239
Speaker 8: Are utterly intolerable.

1535
01:43:02,760 –> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 13: Tens of thousands have been killed, including thousands.

1536
01:43:07,079 –> 01:43:09,520
Speaker 8: As they tried to collect food and water.

1537
01:43:11,359 –> 01:43:16,079
Speaker 13: This death and destruction horrifies all of us.

1538
01:43:16,520 –> 01:43:18,640
Speaker 8: It must end.

1539
01:43:19,279 –> 01:43:22,359
Speaker 13: We have evacuated the first group of sick and injured

1540
01:43:22,399 –> 01:43:25,680
children to the United Kingdom to be treated by the NHS,

1541
01:43:26,439 –> 01:43:31,720
and we continue to increase our humanitarian support, but still

1542
01:43:32,279 –> 01:43:37,079
nowhere near enough aid is getting through. We call again

1543
01:43:37,279 –> 01:43:42,319
on the Israeli government to lift the unacceptable restrictions at

1544
01:43:42,359 –> 01:43:47,199
the border, stop these cruel tactics and let the aid

1545
01:43:47,319 –> 01:43:52,800
surge in with the actions of Her Mass, the Israeli

1546
01:43:52,840 –> 01:43:57,960
government escalating the conflict and settlement building being accelerated in

1547
01:43:58,039 –> 01:44:02,880
the West Bank. The hope of a two state solution

1548
01:44:04,199 –> 01:44:09,039
is fading, but we cannot let that light go out.

1549
01:44:10,680 –> 01:44:13,960
That is why we are building consensus with leaders in

1550
01:44:14,000 –> 01:44:19,399
the region and beyond around our framework for peace. This

1551
01:44:19,439 –> 01:44:23,560
is a practical plan to bring people together behind a

1552
01:44:23,720 –> 01:44:28,479
common vision and a series of steps, including the reform

1553
01:44:28,640 –> 01:44:33,880
of the Palestinian Authority that takes us from a ceasefire

1554
01:44:33,920 –> 01:44:40,279
in Gaza to negotiations on a two state solution. We

1555
01:44:40,319 –> 01:44:45,239
will keep driving this board. As part of this effort,

1556
01:44:46,520 –> 01:44:50,640
I set out in July the terms upon which we

1557
01:44:50,640 –> 01:44:57,439
would act, in line with our manifesto to recognize Palestinian status.

1558
01:44:58,439 –> 01:45:05,520
That moment has now arrived, and so today to revive

1559
01:45:05,640 –> 01:45:09,720
the hope of peace and a two state solution abused.

1560
01:45:10,000 –> 01:45:14,920
I state clearly, as Prime Minister of this great country

1561
01:45:15,279 –> 01:45:20,800
and the country, that the United Kingdom formally recognizes the

1562
01:45:20,920 –> 01:45:25,920
state of Palestine. You we recognize the state of Israel

1563
01:45:26,039 –> 01:45:30,159
more than seventy five years ago as a homeland.

1564
01:45:30,039 –> 01:45:31,039
Speaker 8: For the Jewish people.

1565
01:45:32,439 –> 01:45:37,319
Speaker 13: Today we join over one hundred and fifty countries who

1566
01:45:37,359 –> 01:45:43,600
recognize a Palestinian state. Also a pledge to the Palestinian

1567
01:45:43,720 –> 01:45:48,720
and Israeli people that there can be a better future.

1568
01:45:49,560 –> 01:45:54,359
For I know the strength of feeling that this conflict provokes.

1569
01:45:55,399 –> 01:45:59,760
We have seen it on our streets, in our schools,

1570
01:46:00,119 –> 01:46:03,239
in conversations we’ve had with friends and families.

1571
01:46:04,600 –> 01:46:06,600
Speaker 8: It has created division.

1572
01:46:07,520 –> 01:46:11,920
Speaker 13: Some have used it to stoke hatred and fear, but

1573
01:46:12,039 –> 01:46:18,760
that solves nothing. Not only must we reject hate, we

1574
01:46:18,840 –> 01:46:23,600
must redouble our efforts to combat hatred in all its forms.

1575
01:46:24,319 –> 01:46:30,000
We must channe our efforts, united together in hope, behind

1576
01:46:30,039 –> 01:46:34,840
the peaceful future that we want to see the release

1577
01:46:34,880 –> 01:46:38,720
of the hostages, an end to the violence, an end

1578
01:46:38,800 –> 01:46:42,880
to the suffering, and a shift back towards a two

1579
01:46:42,920 –> 01:46:47,760
state solution as the best hope for peace and security

1580
01:46:48,439 –> 01:46:49,560
for all sides.

1581
01:47:00,039 –> 01:47:00,960
Speaker 5: The digits are where
