Ukrainian President Vladimir Zalinski has continued to make phone calls with
0:05
world leaders since President Donald Trump of the United States. US announced that President Vladimir Putin of Russia
0:12
will meet with him next week, Friday, in the US state of Alaska and stated while
0:17
answering questions from the White House reporters that there will be some swapping of territories to the
0:22
betterment of both Ukraine and Russia, specifically saying, "We will get some back and we will get some switched.
0:29
There will be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both. A statement that immediately and apparently drew the attention of the
0:35
Ukrainian president Vladimir Zalinski, who have issued series of video and written press releases since President
0:42
Donald Trump made the announcement, insisting that Ukraine will not seed any of its territory to Russia for the
0:49
purpose of peace or to end the war, emphasizing that it was because President Putin occupied part of Ukraine
0:55
territory in the past and assembled its troops Ukrainian borders without preventive punishment.
1:01
made him to start full-scale war with Ukraine since 2022, adding that the path
1:07
to peace for Ukraine must be determined together with Ukraine. This is fundamental. It is important that joint
1:14
approaches and a shared vision work toward genuine peace, a consolidated position, ceasefire, end of occupation,
1:22
end of war. According to Trump, the highly anticipated meeting between myself as President of the United States
1:30
of America and President Vladimir Putin of Russia will take place next Friday,
1:35
August 15th, 2025 in the great state of Alaska. Further details to follow. Thank
1:42
you for your attention to this matter. Zilinski in a series of press releases on Saturday said, "I have not heard any
1:50
partners express doubts about America's ability to ensure that the war ends. The
1:55
president of the United States has the levers and the determination. Ukraine has supported all of President
2:01
Trump's proposals starting back in February. Ceasefire. All formats have
2:07
been supported. What is needed now is not a pause in the killings, but a real
2:12
lasting peace. Not a ceasefire sometime in the future, in months, but
2:18
immediately. President Trump told me so, and I fully support it. There must be a
2:24
just end to the war, and it is Russia that must end the war it started. Ukraine and all partners share the same
2:31
understanding of the need for a ceasefire, for an end to the killings. There is only one actor opposing this,
2:38
Putin. His only card is the ability to kill and he is trying to sell the sessation of killings at the highest
2:44
possible price. It is important that this does not mislead anyone. Results
2:49
are needed at the leader level. Dignified results, results that will save lives, that the world will value
2:56
and for which it will be grateful to the leader who delivers them. Everyone clearly sees Putin's tactics. He fears
3:03
sanctions and is doing everything to bail on them. He wants to exchange a pause in the war, in the killings, for
3:10
the legalization of the occupation of our land. He wants to get territorial spoils for the second time. Putin was
3:18
allowed to take Crimea and this led to the occupation in Donesk and Luhansk regions. He received no preventive
3:25
punishment when he amassed a contingent on our borders. This led to the full Nigeria police force has refuted claims
3:32
that its men manhandled. Sahare reporters publisher Amy Saware inside
3:38
cell after the media personnel honored the invitation sent him from the office of the inspector general of police IGP
3:46
over allegations of forgery and criminal defamation of characters with the police stating in a press release signed and
3:52
made available after the detained media publisher was released on Friday night that Saware allegedly brought bandages
3:59
alongside other personal items when he came to the station to honor the police invitation.
4:05
And when the IGP ordered internal investigation to ascertain if truly the media publisher was tortured as claimed,
4:12
Sare refused to allow medical personnel from the Nigeria police force check the alleged injury on his hand he had
4:19
claimed he suffered as a result of the police personnel brutality while inside cell. Meanwhile, as at the time, Sare
4:27
was released on Friday night, bandages were still seen wrapped around one of his hands, as seen in the video while he
4:34
was coming out from the IGP rapid response team, IT police detention
4:39
facilities in Abuja, as stated by Saware in the video. Shortly after his release
4:44
from detention facilities at the IGP rapid response team on Friday, Saware
4:50
posted on his social media handles and said that freedom is never given. It is
4:55
not a gift from the powerful nor a token handed down by the oppressor. It must be
5:01
seized with raw courage, with clarity, and with collective will. Those who sit
5:06
in power never give it up willingly. That's why we take it back because freedom is ours and we will fight until
5:13
it is no longer a dream but a lived reality. Nigeria police force in a
5:18
statement issued on August 8th, 2025 and made available to the public said the
5:24
Nigeria Police Force is compelled to address and decisively correct the recent wave of disinformation being
5:30
pedled in connection with the lawful arrest and detention of Mr. Ali Saware,
5:36
a figure known for manipulating public narratives and weaponizing propaganda to malign state institutions and their
5:42
leadership, particularly the office of the inspector general of police. Contrary to the falsehoods being
5:48
circulated, Mr. Saware was arrested based on credible corroborated
5:54
allegations involving criminal offenses such as forgery, cyberstalking, and other infractions currently under active
6:00
investigation. The arrest was affected in full compliance with extant legal provisions and with strict adherence to
6:08
constitutional safeguards, due process, and the rights of the suspect. To be
6:13
clear, Mr. Sare was released on bail well within the 48-hour constitutional
6:19
window in accordance with the provisions of section 354 of the 1999 constitution of the Federal
6:27
Republic of Nigeria as amended. He is fully aware of the nature of the allegations against him and has been
6:33
duly informed of the charges. He is expected to appear before a court of competent jurisdiction in the coming
6:40
days to answer to the accusations in a lawful and transparent judicial process.
6:46
Equally false and grossly misleading is the narrative suggesting that Mr. Saware was tortured or subjected to any form of
6:53
inhuman or degrading treatment while in custody. The Nigeria Police Force
6:58
maintains a zero to human rights activist and founder of Sahare Reporters News Network, Amy Saware, has been
7:06
reportedly manhandled on Thursday early morning inside police cell by offices
7:11
from the Inspector General of Police IGP monitoring unit after the journalist
7:16
honored the invitation sent him from the office of the Inspector General of Police for a reason not stated, but the
7:24
media personnel working with Amiel Saware in a statement on Thursday made available through the verified personal
7:30
social media handles of Saware said that the police presented two petitions against Saware over alleged forgery and
7:38
defamation of character adding that some police officers from the IGP monitoring
7:43
unit as early as 6:00 a.m. on Thursday entered Saware cell at the force
7:48
intelligence department in Abuja with alleged pretends to take the media publisher to court. But when the
7:55
journalist demanded to see the charges against him, he was allegedly handled roughly by a team of armed policemen.
8:01
This barristister Adanju Deji petitioned the president of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed
8:07
Tanubu, demanding the immediate dismissal of the IGP, Kyote Egen for
8:12
allegedly abusing his office by thus using his highranking office in the Nigeria police force to settle personal
8:20
scores. Although the Nigeria Police Force has not reacted to these allegations, but the force in a press
8:26
release on Thursday afternoon apparently made statements in relation to the current matters involving the detained
8:33
media publisher Saware by insisting and stating in the press statement that the
8:38
recent promotions in the Nigeria Police Force was based on merit and not selective, accusing an unnamed online
8:46
platform of allegedly sponsoring deliberate falsehoods to tarnish the image of the force while also calling on
8:52
officers and men of the force to desist from lobbying to get promoted saying the IGP has warned that any police personnel
9:00
caught lobbying to get promotion will be made to face disciplinary action. According to the post published via
9:06
Saware social media handles, the media team of the publisher said, "This morning at 6:00 a.m., a police team led
9:14
by a chief superintendent of police from the IGP monitoring unit forcibly gained
9:19
entry into Amy Saware's cell at the force intelligence department in Abuja,
9:25
claiming they were taking him to court. The team of nine officers, including eight heavily armed personnel, handled
9:31
Sore roughly when he asked to see the charges and notify his lawyers, breaking his arm in the process before taking him
9:38
to another police facility, the media team stated. In another post, the media
9:44
said the notorious former SARS officer DCP akin Fakared presented two petitions
9:50
to Saware from the illegal IGP's office. one alleged forgery and the second written by Bukola Yiki who was promoted
9:58
to ACP because she's mistress alleges criminal defamation. Saware had before
10:05
honoring the police invitation on Wednesday said in a number of posts previous day that the IGP monitoring
10:12
unit has scheduled my interview for tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. Yet they have refused to provide a copy of the
10:18
purported petition against me. It is now clear that their intention is to conceal
10:24
the sinister plan of the illegal IGP and continue operating in darkness. Despite
10:29
this, Anamra is no doubt one of the states in Nigeria experiencing incessant and very high rates of kidnapping that
10:36
in some cases do lead to the death of the abducted victims and killing of security operatives and some other
10:42
persons around the scene of the mostly monetary crimes of hostage taking for a ransom. Specifically, our crime
10:49
reporters gathered that there is hardly no week without one or two persons being kidnapped along the Anicha Aeri federal
10:56
road in an amra state, especially between Oba community and Aiala town. As
11:01
we gathered that most victims of kidnapping in the state are hardworking small and medium-sized business owners
11:08
who most of whom struggled out of poverty to become wealthy, successful traders. This we learned there may be no
11:15
wealthy successful business owner along the Ahala Olu road left to be kidnapped
11:20
or forced to pay ransom to the kidnappers. While in Ober wealthy people are being kidnapped quietly and ransom
11:27
in millions are paid in silence to the kidnappers. According to members of the community, a young successful
11:34
businessman was kidnapped recently at a location between the Ober New Road and Old Road junctions shortly after he
11:40
visited his building construction site. While we also learned that some people in the state to report or contract their
11:47
friends to kidnappers just to get a share from the ransom that will be paid afterwards or when such people have
11:53
issue or dispute with their friends or co-raders. It may interest you to know that the Anamra State Police Command
12:00
recently arrested a 24-year-old male suspect, Muan Victor, for allegedly
12:06
luring his friend to be kidnapped by his criminal gang in Uli, Iiala local government area of the state. and they
12:13
reportedly collected a ransom in dollars equivalent to 5.3 million naira with his
12:18
gang members just as gunman in a not too long distance time abducted a lawyer and
12:24
two other persons in in Polyu Auata local government area of an amra in
12:29
addition to previous cases of kidnapping of the owner of de Porsche club Chief Igi by unknown gunman after the gunman
12:37
killed numbers of persons along the new Oberi road in Idily South local
12:42
government area of an amber state with the number of those killed at the Porsche nightclub said to be seven. But
12:48
one of the security operatives was beheaded and another had his foot cut off and made away with by the invading
12:55
deadly kidnappers. This occurred shortly after a well-known native doctor or witch doctor
13:02
aka Aqua Oko Turaki was kidnapped after his two personal aids killed in the
13:08
vicinity of his hotel at Ober community before the kidnappers effortlessly took him away and was released after ransom
13:15
in millions were reportedly paid. That not all. On May 21st, 2022, shortly
13:21
after Professor Chukuma Soludo was sworn in as governor, gunman abducted the
13:26
lawmaker representing Auata 2 constituency in the state house of assembly. Oak Chuku Aoy Okoy, also known
13:34
as Okioke, represented Solido's state constituency, Isuopia. Aoy was killed and beheaded
13:42
alongside his aid Siril Chioka 6 days after they were abducted along Agular
13:47
Ziggbo road anoroka local government area of the state and their heads and bodies dumped along a roadside in the
13:54
state. And in December 2024, another lawmaker in the state house of assembly
13:59
was killed. Ghana Minister of Defense Edward Omain Bulmer alongside seven other top government officials and
14:06
military personnel have been confirmed dead after Ghana armed forces in a statement on Wednesday had declared the
14:12
Z9 military helicopter missing stating the helicopter traveling from the nation
14:18
capital in Ara to Abuasi in Ashanti region went off from radar at 9:12 a.m.
14:23

15:02
the military helicopter went down at a Dani Acroofam in the Ashanti region on Wednesday for yet to be stated cause of
15:09
the incident as video footage showed the burnt beyond recognition bodies of those on board the aircraft. The aircraft was
15:16
from Acra and heading for A Bazi and is currently off the radar. All efforts are
15:21
being made to establish contact. The Ghana armed forces had stated in a statement earlier on Wednesday. The
15:28

15:34

16:28

16:48
government of Ghana, I have the unpleasant duty sadly to announce a national tragedy involving the crash of

17:34
Soludo has said that the state is currently in search of justice over the killing of a young and creative fish
17:39
farmer Martin Zesac on Yaki well known by his business name as fish magnet who
17:46

17:55
village Okuna. O ina the anmra state capital this Dr. George Mgalu, the
18:01
Labour Party candidate in the forthcoming governorship election in the state, said that an amber state is no
18:07
longer safe, adding that people are being killed, slaughtered for their families to bury in silence. While the
18:13
state governor, Professor Charles Chukuma Soludo looks the other way with no sympathy, condolence visit, or
18:20
statement. Specifically, Mogulu said, "I must speak frankly. An amra is no longer
18:26
safe, not even in the state capital. Our people are being slaughtered, kidnapped,
18:32
and buried in silence while the government looks the other way. This is not leadership. It is abandonment. Just
18:38
recently, we lost over 10 lives in a ghastly accident at Amichi. Noi South
18:44
local government area. Yet, there was no statement, no condolence, not even a visit from the state government.
18:51
Instead, we see street renamings and political endorsement rallies. Where is our conscience? Mgulu stated while the
18:57
former lawyer to Nami Kanu, the detained Bafra agitation leader, barristister Afeni AIO said the people of the state
19:05
are currently romancing with crimes, hiding criminals, and painting absurd narratives on social media to glorify
19:12
and justify the rising crimes in the state, saying, "The most frightening part, the reckless energy our own people
19:20
expend defending these killers. When you shield murderers because they are your kinsmen, you embolden them. When you
19:26
justify kidnappings under the guise of ethnic pride, you leave the gates wide open for the real external aggressors
19:34
like armed herdsmen whose invasion will come when we are weakest and most divided. An amra state commissioner for
19:41
information. Lor me made the government position known on Sunday after he led other government officials on a
19:47
condolence visit to the bereaveved mother of the victim who happened to be the woman leader of the anamra state all

20:25
sympathized with the deceased family, assuring them that the state government is in search of justice while sustaining
20:31
and strengthening security in the state. Mea who maintained that such a development is an affront to the
20:37
professor Chukuma Soludo government's new security architecture also expressed delight that the police are on the heels
20:44
of the perpetrators. The commissioner was quoted as having stated this when he paid a condolence
20:50
visit to the woman leader of the Anamra state APA Esther ones. According to the
20:55
statement, the statement read in part, "The Anamra state commission Nigeria
21:00
President Bola Ahmed Tonubu has called on online content creators to create jobs for others, saying the digital
21:08
media is now a central driver of economic growth while emphasizing that the youths are no longer waiting to be
21:14
invited into the future, that they are already building the future." Details of the president's statement as
21:21
made available in a news release signed by the presidential spokesperson Beo Onuga on Friday reads verbatim below.
21:29
President Bola Ahmed Tonubu on Friday called on young Nigerians active in the digital media space to harness their
21:36
platforms as instruments of national progress. He urged them to build businesses that create employment,
21:43
produce content that reflects unifying values and serve as positive catalysts for societal development. He emphasized
21:51
the critical importance of verifying information before amplifying it. At the opening of the progressives digital
21:57
media summit themed unveiling the critical role of new media in national
22:02
development, President Tonubu said, "Your generation has recognized this
22:07
moment. You are using digital tools to innovate, educate, and demand accountability. But as your influence
22:15
grows, so must our collective sense of purpose and responsibility. I urge you to continue using digital
22:22
platforms to advance our nation's progress. Build businesses that employ others. Create content that uplifts and
22:29
unites. Use your influence to foster unity, not division. He commended the
22:35
creativity and resilience of Nigeria's youth as he described digital media as a driving force of economic and social
22:42
transformation. It is no longer merely an accessory to life. He said from developing innovative
22:49
platforms to building vibrant online communities. You are demonstrating the determination that is redefining what is
22:55
possible for this country. You are not waiting for the future. You are building it. Digital media is now a central
23:03
driver of economic growth, civic engagement, and social change. It
23:08
broadens representation for those previously unheard. The president said his administration is committed to
23:14
supporting digital innovation through the National Digital Innovation Fund and policies that promote a thriving startup
23:21
ecosystem. However, he warned practitioners to remain vigilant against disinformation
23:26
and cyber threats. Chief of staff to the president Fei Bajabia praised digital
23:33
media practitioners who have consistently stood up for Nigeria and projected the nation positively on the
23:38
global stage. You are the vanguard of a reborn Nigeria determined to reach for
23:44
the stars. Under President Tonubu's leadership, our nation has begun its
23:49
long delayed march toward greatness. The road may be challenging but it is
23:54
necessary. He stated in a goodwill message. The special adviser to the
23:59
president on information and strategy Beao Onuga highlighted the significance of the summit. He noted that lessons
24:07
from recent elections in countries like the US and Germany underscore how digital media have become crucial
24:13
battlegrounds beyond mere entertainment for shaping poll outcomes. However,
24:19
social media is not a fair battleground. As a public square, it is often chaotic
24:25
and unregulated. Users frequently disregard rules, divisive content. In
24:30
line with the requirements of the ceasefire deal reached on Monday night in Malaysia, the military commanders in
24:36
the three areas along the Thailand Cambodia border have met on Tuesday with a resolution that both sides will halt
24:43
the movements of troops and enforce the ceasefire agreement while waiting till August 4th, 2025 for the outcome of the
24:51
General Border Committee GBC meeting to be held before they will know the next
24:56
line of action to be taken which could be to evacuate troops out of the area or
25:01
continue the war based on the aftermath of the GBC meeting agreed to be hosted
25:07
by Cambodia next week. Monday, the ceasefire mediator who is the Aian chair
25:12
and Malaysia prime minister, Anoir Ibrahim, who is currently in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia for AAN meeting
25:19
said in a post via his personal verified exocial media account on Tuesday that as
25:25
the AAN chair, Malaysia has emerged to lead efforts in reconciling Cambodia and Thailand, two neighboring countries that
25:32
were nearly drawn into a more devastating conflict, adding with the active involvement of China and the
25:38
United States, we successfully achieved an immediate and unconditional ceasefire agreements. This is proof that diplomacy
25:45
must guide our efforts to realize peace and resolute leadership while stating in his earlier post after the ceasefire
25:53
agreement was reached that the ceasefire agreement is a concrete proof of the strength of Aian diplomacy rooted in
26:00
consensus, negotiation, and humanitarian principles. The office of the prime
26:05
minister of Malaysia in a press statement published on its website stated that on behalf of the Malaysian
26:12
government and aan I must express my deep appreciation and gratitude to both my close friends and associates the
26:19
prime minister of Cambodia Sandde Han Manet and the acting prime minister of Thailand Fam Way for not only being
26:27
present gracious enough to participate in very frank discussions very passionate about securing peace And due
26:34
to their efforts and participation, we have seen very positive developmental results that would all go well for
26:41
Cambodia and Thailand and for AAN. The government of Malaysia, Cambodia, and
26:46
Thailand issue this joint press release following the special meeting chaired, hosted and witnessed by Prime Minister
26:52
Anoir Ibrahim in Putrajar and participated by Cambodia's Prime Minister Sam Mohabibihan Manet and

States of America with the active participation of the People's Republic of China to promote a peaceful
27:10
resolution to the ongoing situation. PM Han Manet and acting PM Fam Way have

expressed the positions and willingness for immediate ceasefire and return to normaly. The United States President
27:24
Donald J. Trump has been in contact with the leaders of both countries urging the leaders to find peaceful solution to the
27:31
conflict. The Chinese side has kept close contact with Cambodia, Thailand,
27:37
Malaysia, and relevant countries to actively promote dialogue, ceasefire,
27:42
and restoring peace. The presence and collaboration of all parties underscore a shared commitment to peace, dialogue,
27:50
and regional stability. Both Cambodia and Thailand reached a common understanding as follows. An immediate
27:57
and unconditional ceasefire with effect. Nigeria on Monday staged an uncommon
28:02
welcoming ceremony to appreciate and celebrate the country women football team who may be apparently correct to be
28:09
described as winning queens of Africa as they landed at the Nambi Azakiway International Airport in Abuja after the
28:15
Super Falcons of Nigeria defeated the host Lionusides of Morocco by 3 to2 in a
28:21
breathtaking and thrilling final football match held in Rabbat, the capital city of Morocco on Saturday,

known as Aso where President Bola Ahmed Tonubu conferred on the 24 Super Falcons
29:30

29:37
O and gifted them houses each in Abuja with $100,000
29:42
each for the 24 women players which total sum is approximately equivalent to
29:47
3.6 6 billion naira based on 1,500 naira exchange rate to a dollar pegged
29:54
by the president for the 2025 financial year in the country. And in addition,
30:00
the president gifted the 11 member technical team of the super falcons $50,000 each, which approximately
30:07

Nigeria, Olarmy Tanubu, was at the kitchen preparing his food while watching the match, emphasizing, "The
30:37
first lady almost abandoned his dinner because of the football match and the Super Falcons on Monday could be seen
30:43
singing, praising, and dancing with the first lady. Tonubu by thus reversing the negativity
30:49
of the popular viral song of now your mama be this to now our mama be this to
30:56
accept the first lady as the mother of all in the nation which could be recalled that earlier in the year
31:01
specifically in the month of March the first lady senator Oli Tanubu was at the
31:07
dome event center in Asaba in Delta state as part of her renewed hope initiative project and during her visit
31:14
a video clip of Nigeria nursing students rejecting the first lady as the mother of all in the nation went viral and
31:21
became a popular song that was remixed by many to their desired tastes and lyrics after the viral clip showed the
31:28
events master of ceremony barely 10 days after Israeli soldiers bombed the Holy
31:33
Family Catholic Church in Gaza Benjamin Netanyahu the state of Israel prime
31:38
minister has said that Israel is now being portrayed as the enemy of Christians stating that Israel has a
31:45
thriving Christian community, the only thriving Christian community in the broad radius of the Middle East, where
31:51
Christians are not tolerated, they're cherished, adding, "You can light Christmas trees in Nazareth." But in
31:58
Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, when Israel left and the Palestinian authority came in, the Christian
32:05
majority shrank from 80% to under 20% because there was no more Israel to
32:10
protect them. Though Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not mention the bombing of the Catholic Church in Gaza
32:17
that led to the killing of three persons and injuring to several people, including the parish priest. It could be
32:23
recalled that the Israel Defense Forces IDF action against the Christian holy place in Gaza sparked global
32:30
condemnations with the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo I 14th, in a statement on Sunday, July 20th, 2025
32:38
while speaking after his angelist prayer, read out the names of those killed in the incident and said, "I
32:45
appeal to the international community to observe humanitarian law and respect the obligation to protect civilians as well
32:52
as the prohibition of collective punishment of indiscriminate use of force and force displacement of the
32:58
population. During a church event on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while speaking at the Day
33:05
Stars together as one event in Jerusalem with Pastor Paula White, leader of the
33:10
White House faith office said, "Iran is now being projected as the friend of the Americans." Word to word of Prime
33:18
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speech as transcribed and made available by the office of the Israel Prime Minister on
33:24
Sunday reads below. Thank you Joanie. Thank you Dayar. Thank you Paula. Thank
33:31
you ambassadors and the many friends of Israel in the Christian world. This is the city and the land where it all
33:37
began. the Judeo-Christian tradition that promoted the belief in monotheism,
33:42
a single god that developed the idea of the sanctity of life, the sanctity of
33:47
individual life, the idea of freedom. In an ancient world that was swamped with
33:53
massive slavery to build these ancient empires, the Jewish people came out with the idea that slavery should be limited
33:59
and ultimately removed. This was revolutionary. The beginning of the idea
34:04
of freedom began in this land and that idea spread throughout the centuries and
34:10
especially in modern times and changed the world. It gives hope to the world.
34:15
It gives meaning to our lives. It gives a bond between the world's greatest democracy, the United States of America,
34:23
and the world's vibrant democracy here in Israel. And that's a partnership that is bonded in faith, in history, in
34:30
tradition. I had the great privilege of being invited to speak at the joint session of the American Congress. And I
34:38
look on the wall and I see a quote from Moses. That's our common tradition, our
34:43
common wellspring. We're immersed in the Bible. We live the Bible. We have a
34:48
future because we have a past. And that past is shared by millions, hundreds of
34:53
millions around the world. And I want to thank you on behalf of the people of Israel and the Jewish people. Royal Thai
35:00
Army and the Cambodia National Ministry of Defense have both denied firing the 10 projectiles that destroyed civilian
35:07
houses and properties at Emerald Triangle, a city in Lao on Thursday, just as both government establishments
35:14
confirmed early in the morning on Sunday that fighting continued through Saturday night to Sunday morning night despite
35:21
President Donald Trump of the United States. US statement on Saturday that he
35:26
has spoken on phone with both the prime minister of Cambodia and the acting prime minister of Thailand asking the
35:34
two parties to agree on immediate ceasefire and failure to do so. According to Trump, US will not make any
35:40
business deal with both countries. In his words, Trump said, "We happen to be
35:46
by coincidence currently dealing on trade with both countries, but do not want to make any deal with either
35:53
country if they are fighting, and I have told them so." The call with Thailand is being made momentarily. The call with
36:00
Cambodia has ended, but expect a call back regarding war stoppage and ceasefire based on what Thailand has to
36:07
say. I am trying to simplify a complex situation. Many people are being killed
36:12
in this war. But it very much reminds me of the conflict between Pakistan and India which was brought to a successful
36:20
halt. The Lao government had on Friday reported that 10 bombs were found having
36:25
been fired into civilian areas and affecting local residents in the Emerald Triangle, a town in Lao that borders
36:32
both Lao, Thailand, and Cambodia. A statement from the Lao People's Armed
36:37
Forces on Saturday afternoon refuted earlier media reports claiming clashes
36:42
between the Lao People's Armed Forces and Cambodian armed personnel, describing the reports as untrue.
36:48
Denying the shelling in Lao, the Royal Thailand Army in a statement on Saturday
36:53
said that the Royal Thai Army clarifies case of artillery shells landing in Lao
36:58
PDR territory in Emerald Triangle area confirms investigation found they were
37:04
not Thai forces ammunition. According to news reports, on the 24th of July 2025
37:11
at approximately 9:40 hours, 10 artillery shells landed in the territory of the Lao People's Democratic Republic,
37:19
Lao PDR, in the Emerald Triangle area, which is the border junction between Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia without
37:27
clear confirmation as to which side the shells belong to. And preliminarily, there were no reports of casualties or
37:33
property damage from the incident. Major General Winti Sububri, Army
37:38
spokesperson, issued a clarification that following factf finding investigations and coordination with
37:45
security agencies of the Lao PDR, it is confirmed that they were definitely not shells from the Thai military side. And
37:52
the Royal Thai Army has confidence in its capability to control weapon usage effectively, appropriately,
37:59
proportionately, and strictly within international rules of engagement. However, in the recent period, it has
38:06
often been found that the Cambodian side has been using long range fire support weapons to attack numerous civilian
38:13
targets throughout the past 2 days, which appears to be intentional and deliberate use of such weapons against
38:20
targets other than military objectives, such as using weapons against historical sites, aiming to significantly mislead
38:26
the international community against the Thai side. Asia is apparently becoming a continent of war as hope of achieving
38:33
peace in the continent appeared slim since 2023 when fresh wars broke out in
38:39
the Middle East Asia after Hamas attacked Israel forcing Israel to launch a multiffront wars in Gaza, Lebanon,
38:46
Syria, Iran, and Yemen. This occurred as Russia that has parts of its territory in Asia had in 2022 launched a fullscale
38:55
war against its neighboring European country Ukraine which the multiple wars
39:00
have led to millions of deaths with many in the world expecting an end soon. But
39:05
while many in the world hoped for permanent end to the deadly wars, another fresh war broke out during the
39:11
week on Thursday in the Southeast Asia between Cambodia and Thailand after soldiers from Royal Thai Army of 14th
39:19
Infantry Battalion on Wednesday stepped on a landmine at Huibon Chong and Ma Nam
39:25
Yuan district, Yuben Rajathani Province within the Thai Cambodia border area
39:30
causing severe injury to one Thailand soldier while four other solders soldiers sustained some level of
39:36
injuries making the acting prime minister of Thailand Fam Way to recall
39:41
the country's ambassador from Panam Pen and expelled Cambodia's ambassador to Thailand leading to heavy military
39:48
confrontations starting next day morning which Cambodian news agency on Saturday
39:54
reported that tens of thousands of innocent Cambodians including children,
39:59
pregnant women and the elderly have been forced to flee the military aggression along the border areas including Priya
40:06
here, Odaminci and Pers. And the Royal Thai Army also on Saturday released a
40:12
video of its men hoisting the Thai flag at a location and stated that the Thai national flag was raised at top Fu Makua
40:20
following Thai military operations to assault and seize the Fu Makua area where it said the Cambodian forces had
40:26
been heavily positioned. adding that the area was successfully captured during the evening of war on Friday. While the
40:33
prime minister of Thailand, Paong Tan Shinawat, who is currently on suspension, blamed the cause of the war
40:40
on alleged powerful criminals in Cambodia, saying the conflict stems from
40:45
the Thai government's efforts to crack down on call center crimes, dismantling a network of immense financial interests
40:52
linked to influential groups in Cambodia. Notwithstanding, the prime minister of Cambodia, Sam Moa Borva Han
41:01
Manet, in a statement called on Cambodians not to attack businesses and citizens of Thailand living in Cambodia,
41:08
adding that after the prime minister of Malaysia and the rotating chairman of Azian, Anoir Ibrahim, intervened in the
41:15
matter on Thursday, both countries agreed to a ceasefire slated to start on Friday by 12:00 a.m. But an hour after
41:23
Malaysia prime minister told him that Thailand has agreed to the ceasefire, Thailand rescended its decision and
41:30
continued military actions against Cambodia and the Cambodia Ministry of National Defense spokesperson Lieutenant
41:37
General Mey Sakita in an operational updates on Saturday said that Thailand
41:42
has continued to expand its military including its infantry forces heavy
41:47
weaponry into Cambodia territory. According to the Thailand military known as Royal Thai Army, the Royal Thai Army
41:55
condemns the Cambodian side for the incident involving the covered placement of landmines.
