1:37 pm
since 2005. this is important since he oversaw a fund with nearly billion dollars in assets. so that's a lot of money. why is that important? not only did he oversaw. reconstruction under hamas rule after earlier war between israel and hamas, mustafa will be responsible for overseing billions of dollars and expected international aid. the introduction of new prime minister is part of an effort by mahmoud abbas to reform the pa to create a technocratic governments in the west bank. mustafa himself is widely regarded as an independent technocrat. he's been holding consultations with perspective cabinet members in recent weeks. the members are expected to be a group of technocrats underfill.

1:40 pm
welcome back! here when you're watching press tv world news, leader of yemen's ansera movement says the country will expand its military operations against israely link ships and will prevent their crossing through the indian ocean. our main battle is to prevent ships associated with the israeli army not only from passing through the arabian sea, the red sea and the gulf of eden, but also with the grace and assistance of allah almighty, we aim to prevent their crossing through the indian ocean and from south africa towards the cape of good hope. this is an important, advanced and significant step, and we have already begun to carry out operations related to it. ancerla leader said, so far three operations have been conducted in the indian ocean.
1:41 pm
yemini armed forces have been attacking israely linked ships in the red sea since mid november to force the regime to stop its genocide in gaza. and in response us and uk have launched air strikes on yemen for what they call protecting international shipping. yemen though rejects that claim and has retaliated by targeting american and british ships uh in the red sea latest us lead air strikes hit. yemen's haja governor it early friday, yemen says israel, the u.s. and britain are responsible for mounting tensions. joining us now from san from the story is hussein al bukhaiti activist and political commentator. hello hussein, hope you're safe and doing well out there in the yemini uh capital. your thoughts on abdul malik al, hooot these comments that things may rise and may see escalation and expansion the uh geographics of these operations against uh israely link ships uh yeah mean he
1:42 pm
was clearly that uh he mentioned that yeman will expand their attack because uh we have noticed that because after the yemani blocked the red sea and the arabian gulf in the face of israeli affiliated ship they actually are now using to go around the cape of good hope in south. south africa, that's why in the speech of abdul malik yesterday has insisted that yemani will expand their operation and he said they have already done three trial to target, he didn't mention what kind of target were actually came under attacking the indian ocean uh because what separate yemen and from the indian ocean is the arabian sea, that's why main most of the shiben lane that goes around africa it goes south. the arabian sea or just on the tip between arabian sea and indian ocean, that's why this expansion i
1:43 pm
think will actually hurt badly uh israeli economy and i believe that there could be uh more step that will come uh to target any israeli ship in in the birgian golf because we have seen in the recent week that israeli ship uh are avoiding the blue kite in the red sea by sending their commercial ship to dubai or to united arab emirates and unload uh what's on this ship and using track uh through uh roads in united arab emirates, saudi arabia, jordan uh toward the z state of israel, that's why i believe one of the next step will be as well to target those israeli ship in the in the in the birgian golf and i just want to mention that in the last 12 hour uh yemani army according to uh united kingdom maritime trade operation uh two vessels has come under attack in the red sea just in the last 12. powers and as well according to uh united states central command the two ballistic missiles were fired into the gulf
1:44 pm
of aiden, they didn't say what was the dark the target, but we have seen two days ago that us central command has announced uh that one anti-hip ballistic missiles was fired against towards us destroyer called labon and they said that uh it did not hit that chip and this is actually a change of the of the tune of the united states because they always say that we have shut down either the drones or the ballistic missiles, but this actually latest statement it shows that year many anti-hip ballistic missiles actually was not or they couldn't shoot it down by the anti air missiles on those us destroyer, that's why i believe that yemy they still have many surprise against united state battleship in in in our region and they get as well many surprise for as well. especially for the israeli regime, and that's the thing, i'm glad you mentioned that, because it seems
1:45 pm
according to abdul malik, he said they're already targeted over 73 israeli linked uh ships in the short amount of time, which shows the yemini armed forces are exhausting quite a significant amount of resources and planning to carry out these operations, yeah, i mean this exactly just before the intervention of the united states yemany army. has only targeted 12 israeli ships or israeli affiliated ship, just imagine 12 ship a matter of two months, but after the interventioner of the united states and uk now is more than 60. ship has been targeted during that time, so this mean that it's a clear failure from the united states who came to protect the israeli shipping in the red sea and the gulf of eden, but now they are actually unable to protect the commercial ship and i'm sure that soon they will they will be unable to protect their own battleship or aircraft carrier in in in our region and i just want to mention that there
1:46 pm
is an important statement by yemani armed force, it will be announced today during them. uh that will take place today friday in support of palestinian people and i believe that they will explain uh what kind of target has came under attack in the last 12 hour and i just want to add that's really really silly and funny for the united states that they are wanting actually to build what they say a temporary port to allow uh food and medicine to enter into gazza i mean they could just open rafa crosin or any other crossing there are hundreds of trucks waiting there to get into gazza and those trucks actually they are coming or they are based in a country that are actually have relationship with the israeli either in jordan or as well in in in in in egypt so who is actually blocking the entry of this food is the united state itself because they are trying to cover that there are those hundreds of trucks waiting by
1:47 pm
building the so-called pier or temporary port and yemany and abdul malik yesterday. was really clear, he said all that will stop if the united states and and uk and israeli will stop it genocide against the palestinian people in gaza, lift the blue cate, allow food and medicine to enter, because if they are not gonna do so, yemani army will have the they have the equipment to expand their attack, to target more ship in in in in in long range distance and i believe as well and i'm sure they as well have the ability to target any ship as well in. the east of the mediterranean sea and i think that could be as well one of the new expansion of the attack if the israeli regime will not stop its attack against the palestinian people. all right thank you husain stay safe hussein abdul khaiti joining us from so now and now people throw out russia are heading to poles to choose new president for the next six
1:48 pm
years vote is taking place throughout the country's 11 time zones more than 112 million people are eligible to vote from friday through sunday, incumbant vladimir putin is running for fifth term. he has three rivals, one from the new people's party, the liberal democratic party and the communist party. now prior to this election, putin called on russians to vote, saying people are the only source of power in the country. he said russia is going through some difficult times and needs to stay united and uh confident to overcome them. the vote is also taking place in four regions that russia annexed from ukraine in 2022. namely donietsk, luhansk, zaparia and herson. and for an update, we're going to swing over to our moscow correspondent johnny miller, is at one of the voting stations to see what's going on. hello, johnny, how does the mood uh seem with the first day of voting there? well, it's the first morning of three days of voting across
1:49 pm
russia, millions of people, a couple of. security is very tight, i'm not allowed to film there, security is major issue, particularly at these elections, there have been certain provocations from from ukraine, and so security is very tight, but the people are student on the streets, people, i've spoken to, most people i've spoken to say they're going to vote, and they feel relatively happy, good that everything will go on as planned, of course this only one person is really going to to win this election. is vladimir putin, nobody expects anything different, main reason is because he is very popular, the economy, political situation, stable in russia even though they are fighting of course major conflict of war, special military operation uh in ukraine, but the economy is stable, growing and vladimir putin's popularity remains uh very good, so we expect him to win the communist party on
1:50 pm
the left and more unternationalist candidates on the right. will also get votes of course we also have uh pro west and the valmy uh supporters as well say they might come out next few days that and all week we heard uh the moscow say johnny that the they feel the us is trying to manipulate this vote that they are uh trying to carry out cyber attacks i believe maria the other day said that uh remote uh voting uh uh computers and machines may be targeted. by us intelligence community, do you anything about that? well, at the beginning of the week, the british and american consults put out a statements warning people not to go to any big crowds. as they worn there might be terrorist attacks, so there certainly seems to be attempts, particularly through ukraine, as i said, to create some destabilization, to
1:51 pm
create the feeling that the russian government is control, and to create fear and destabilization, so there certainly is that fear, of course ukraine sents troops over into the go - onto russian territory, once again an attempted. stabilize russia uh during these elections, that seems to have failed, there's also been many drone attacks, so there clearly is attempts to um weaken the russian government in the minds of the russian people by certain actors and we have to see over the coming days whether there is any more major uh concerns like that. all right bud, thanks for that uh wrap up in that update, we'll stay in touch with the johnny miller there joining us out of moscow as russian voting for the uh president for another six-year term is underway for the next three days and we fall. very closely here on press tv and that brings us to the end your press tv uh world news bulletin everyone, thanks for tuning in and bye-bye for now.
