other than the morning in the safe i want to cover the world in darkness and this is a dialogue that could be what leading to some of the confusion the line about people saying they don't actually know what's going on join the colobus conversation at this time on al-jazeera. bureaus spanning six continents across the globe. al-jazeera as correspondents live and bring the stories they tell of the. i could never have the letters young. were at the mercy of the russian camp for palestinian refugees al-jazeera fluent in world news. poll this is al-jazeera.

still robin you're watching the al-jazeera news our life one headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. we're watching those votes lead a vote against us will save a lot threats from donald trump we're just hours away from a showdown between some members of the united nations and the white house plus. at this stage we believe that a deliberate act and i repeat that at this stage we believe he is i believe work act two people have been arrested after a car plows into a crowd in melbourne australia injuring at least nineteen. also the cholera epidemic in yemen reaches one million cases in just nine months one of the reasons the wall told country it's facing the world's worst humanitarian crisis and this election day in catalonia it's a vote many hope will finally result spain's political crisis.

welcome to the news hour the united nations will be debating a draft resolution rejecting president daal chance of recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital starting in the next couple of hours now washington has already threatened to cut aid to united nations members who vote against his actions mike hanna has more from new york security council staff pose with the secretary general for an annual photograph is called then it's business as usual in the chamber like most other member states those represented here unwilling to comment publicly on the extraordinary letters sent by u.s. ambassador nikki haley ambassador did you receive the letter from nikki haley about the. many letters and the majority view apparently summed up by one representative who was willing to comment that our position on this case has been very clear we had the opportunity to express ourselves in the security council so so that's our

very strong and prince principled position as we did was one of the fourteen council members who voted in favor of the jerusalem resolution monday the veto by the u.s. is accompanied by an angry statement from the ambassador what we witnessed here today in the security council is an insult it won't be forgotten what some would regard as a thoroughly belled threat driven home in a letter circulated to all member states regarding the vote taking place in the general assembly thursday. as you consider your vote the ambassador writes i want you to know that the president and the u.s. take this vote personally she continues the president will be watching this vote carefully and has requested i report back on those countries who voted against us president trump made clear what the possible consequences could be they take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars and then they vote

against us while we're watching this vote let them vote against us will save a lot. we don't care but privately many u.n. members are outraged at the letters bullying and threatening tone and what was to be a vote condemning attempts to unilaterally change the status of jerusalem may gain even added significance in november more than one hundred fifty nations voted in favor of a resolution declaring all israeli actions in jerusalem as now and void as it was an occupying power a similar result in the general assembly thursday would also be a sweeping international rejection of president trump and his policies mike hanna al jazeera united nations. well the turkish and palestinian foreign ministers dismissed trump's threats and said no country should be intimidated humen know we were with the u.s. says we'll track down who voted for what and we'll report to the u.s. president we will get the names of the countries one by one what we do by getting

these will you allow invasions into those countries or you punish them the world has changed the notion of i am powerful therefore i am right has changed now the world is rising against the unfair from now on no honorable nation no honorable state will bow to such pressure. this is really you. know. i don't think. you will be but we have reporters in washington d.c. garza and jerusalem our white house correspondent kimberly how it is standing by and so is malcolm webb in gaza but first let's go to her a force that in jerusalem the israelis have been working hard behind the scenes as mike hanna reported on trying to cut off the u.n. scenarios like this by drumming up international support i mean what's the mood of

senior politicians. well i think there is a recognition that this vote is likely to go only one way and that is why benjamin netanyahu has been coming out really just trying to ridicule the whole nature of this vote and undermine it saying the state of israel rejects this vote even before it is held never short of an insult or ten for the united nations that the one he's using at the moment is calling it a house of lies and he is saying that there is wider changing of views among foreign powers towards israel and he's saying that that will eventually percolate its way into the united nations general assembly as well that it took the u.s. seventy years to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital cert might take a few more for the rest of the members of the u.n. however at the same time as he is really trying to marginalize the importance of this vote he's also or least his government is lobbying very hard to try and head it off his deputy foreign minister has said just that there are immense efforts underway to try and change minds there are lobbying efforts to try and get people

to abstain or even potentially vote against i think that there's also something to do with the way that the israelis have been treating lots of bilateral relationships in recent years that you know putting a lot of weight behind opening up new relationships in africa in south america improving ties with china and india with a view quite openly towards changing the way that some of these votes go down in the united nations so there is some weight obviously with the israelis do give to what happens inside the u.n. security council and the general assembly on this particular occasion though given just how isolated the united nations how isolated united states is even from its very close allies i don't think there's much expectation here that they're going to get much traction in terms of getting people to vote against morsi what happens there let's move over to our colleague malcolm webb who's in garza and of course the palestinians have been angry since trump declared his government's position

maybe what's the mood like there as we count the minutes and hours away until the u.n. general assembly meets. well as you say people angry they still say they're angry and greatly incensed as they have been for the last two weeks has been demonstrations most days since then on weekdays they tend to be smaller ones on fridays has been much bigger demonstrations on wednesday there was a couple hundred people gathered to protest against the u.s. veto at the u.n. security detail of the resolution at the u.n. security council to maintain the status of jerusalem for wednesday a small crowd gathered here to protest that but a bigger demonstration is expected tomorrow the different factions different political factions here are all involved in the hamas spokesperson said there will be two demonstrations one in the north of gaza one in the south the pending what happens at the u.n. general assembly later today we'll be waiting to see how many people turn up for those demonstrations to see what happens tomorrow we'll leave it there with you for

the moment. go straight over to the u.s. and cuba how could our correspondent in washington d.c. and one can only assume that the white house is prepared for any eventuality because the administration hands very clearly set out its position and must have a press release set up for any eventuality. it certainly does but i think what everyone is watching is just how far of this bullying as it's being perceived by the president is going to be received by some of the countries that are voting we certainly do know that the positions of some of those members of the security council will not change in this wider u.n. vote for example britain france japan but as the other sort of smaller nations that certainly are being watched very closely because of course with this threat to cut off aid to countries in asia and africa and even latin america much more affected by such

a tactic so certainly that is something is being very watched very carefully not just in new york but also in washington and around the world and the other thing that is being taken into account too is just how far these these threats with towards u.s. allies are being taken and how they're being received given the fact that don't campaigned on very isolationist policies but at the same time well it's been known for some time now that he is not the most adept diplomat certainly this is just another underscoring of donald trump sort of inability to understand the magnitude of soft power in the effectiveness of that tool when offering aid how this works and building relationships and allies the recession right now donald trump has turned his back on but that also is sort of another scoring of the original announcement on december sixth when violated just international consensus and also u.n. resolutions there with regard to the status of jerusalem just briefly could believe i was. down to the american. domestic american.

about the position of the. president. well certainly you have to remember that these isolationist policies are what a very large swath of america supports americans right now have just watched the president pass a very relatively a popular tax package but at the same time are still looking to see whether or not it will improve their day to day lives and what americans are struggling what they're not focused on is outside their borders so there is a certain element of the united states and the american voter that supports what the president has said supports that and doesn't understand that concept of soft power and the tool of aid and doesn't understand why so many tax dollars are going outside the united states was so many are suffering so well there certainly at the

diplomatic level and in the academic circles is concern for the president's policies on the ground on the american street there are many that support what he is doing or leave that fellow vets with you throughout the day things. well south africa's ruling african national congress has passed a resolution to downgrade the country's embassy in israel to a liaison office it says the decision is to give practical expression to the oppression full people of palestine. police have arrested two people in connection with a car time. crash into pedestrians injuring at least nineteen people it's not clear what the motive walls but mobile police say there is no evidence of a link to terrorism so far from a hoax to. panic in the streets of central melbourne on a busy thursday afternoon witnesses say an s.u.v. accelerated into a crowd of christmas shoppers during rush hour it happened in the city's central business district just after a full thirty local time the area is close to mobiles main train station

victoria state police say the driver was wrestled to the ground and handcuffed after his car crashed and came to a stop a second man was arrested. at this stage we have fourteen people injured and several i critique. at this stage we believe is it a deliberate act and i repeat that at this stage we believe it is i deliver it act however we do not know either my device and is still early stages of the investigation witnesses described how the car showed no signs of slowing down among the victims is a preschool age child immigration and border protection minister peter dutton said there have been five terror attacks in the country since the national threat level was increased in september two thousand and fourteen of syrian authorities and now on high alert meanwhile police in melbourne have cordoned off the area as police officers carry out further investigations and a hoax that out is there are. plenty more here on the news hour including defiance

from bruce president the latest south american leader caught up in allegations of corruption with live in lima. and in sport regional politics hits the gulf cup football tournament saudi arabia withdraws from a press conference due to the presence of qatar based channels including al-jazeera . at least four people have died after a ferry with hundreds on board capsized off the coast of the philippines now it was traveling from the town of in fund in case on province to police or island over two hundred passengers and crew have been rescued now the red cross says the number of suspected cholera cases in yemen has reached one million more than two thousand people have died from the highly contagious infections and see cholera outbreak began in april the u.n.

says the water on country is facing the world's worst humanitarian crisis with eighty percent of its population suffering from a shortage of food clean water and access to health care. well and jackie may is the middle east spokeswoman at the international committee of the red cross she joins me now on skype from geneva good to have you with us it's an incredibly exacerbated problem that yemen is facing what sort of problems are you facing as the i.c.r.c. to try to get aid into those areas that need it most. well as you said in your introduction eighty percent of the young men that i did for locally were tell us is that health care or all of these not one single family yet that's it right now that we are able to bring humanitarian aid into the outreach even though it made it difficult to cross the front lines and bring these in everywhere by

registering people at this point is that commercial or it's another meeting in yemen this is a country of twenty seven million people in the euro many then community is not in a position to gauge of all the needs of the whole country what we need is for commercially in words of food or fuel and of medicine to be three here and now you say that of course it's not freely allowed to come into the country that's because of a blockade by saudi arabia so you have to be diplomats as well as humanitarians who are you going to try and put pressure on saudi arabia to lift that blockade so you can get aid into port like a date and aids. well yes it is conflict that has almost it's almost three years old now is a lot of respect for being who is of international human and they all of the we've seen is a lot of respect from me in the sense that they were and what we do about them of course bringing aid in the field is also talking to all of those going on in the

conflict and to the states that have a need for us on those got to remind them of their basic duties which is you get to fight but you have to restrain the civilian population you have to use that civilian infrastructure such a close does and schools and were just systems has not been that is india's got really and you have to allow people to have a system. and obviously food clean water and fuel to power in the us because a lot of beating me i would agree with you and every interview we've done with the i.c.r.c. they are fine words but practically you have a problem because obviously the diplomats the governments that are going on blockade in yemen. exacerbating this problem of the international community has again through the u.n. and through other major capitals of the world who have a lot of those that are blockading to lift the blockade so you can do your job properly you can't do your job properly at the moment and so i would ask you with

the aid you have in the country in the yemen right now where are the problem where the problem areas for you where are you managing to get aid to where do you still need to get it to. well we basically managed to get aid pretty much everywhere because we've been in yemen for a long that i trust us and we can cause a lot of lights that look and it's not what we're seeing the global images that again all that every human he didn't want us to get that we can not covered it needs we can only cover a small part of the needs we need commercially points and first and foremost we need fuel because fuel means was because running that scene is being getting that quoting it means whatever. you spoke of going out but got it out even though it is bigger than we did with the u.s. one hundred twenty seven yemenis and now they're going to are doing yet though we see an outbreak of these d.v.d.'s why because children have not been vaccinated and

we want to know what next well we shall see what does happen for the moment it's always good to speak to your lender secondly there from the i.c.r.c. thank you thank you so voting is underway in catalonia a regional poll which may indicate the extent of public support for seating from spain separatist parties are pitted against rivals who want to stay part of spain a record turnout is expected paul brennan joins me now from barcelona attendance was expected to be hi paula and the votes very tight how has the day unfolded. well it's been three months since the october first referendum that was declared illegal by madrid three months of direct pull from madrid of this semi autonomous region of catalonia and in those nearly three months attitudes frankly have hardened i detect those people who are keen to see secession for catalonia have seen the police come in from madrid and impose their will they've seen catalan

leaders put behind bars the catalan president remains in self-imposed exile in brussels on the other side though those who support closer unity with madrid say that because they boycotted the initial october first referendum this is their chance to make their voices heard and so people this morning were up and out early . outside catalonia as largest polling station the queue to vote formed early and stretched out of the gates and down the street with polling day underway a mood of calm determination has replaced the bitter words and strident campaigning of recent weeks what we hope is that we return to democracy and that whatever the outcome is it is respected. i hope we go back to normality it is not clear whether that will happen but that's what we want. inside the voting has been brisk turnout will be a crucial factor under catalunya as proportional representation system the prospect

of an outright victory for either of the two main camps process session or pro unity it's extremely unlikely it's just too tight but a lot will depend on a so-called silent majority of up to a million undecided voters secessionist believe their course has been strengthened by madrid imposing direct rule and by the jailing of cats and land leaders suspicious of madrid's refusal to allow international election observers activists are conducting their own shadow count the votes to grow. this route the movement has sort of organized so we're going to do our double counting of the ballot boxes and of the ballots and and that the result is going to be checked by the grassroots movement in catalonia and we are bringing international observers because we we are not the we don't fear for impartial opinions opinion polls those suggest the most likely result is

a hung parliament with pro secession his party's forming the biggest block and that will do nothing to repair the deep fractures and recriminations that have emerged during spain's worst political crisis since the return to democracy forty years ago . while the voting continues poll when can we expect the results. well they'll be an exit poll at around one thousand nine hundred g.m.t. when the polls close for the day but you tend to take these exit polls with a pinch of salt i'm afraid they're not always very accurate the real results will start to emerge around twenty three hundred g.m.t. and at that point i think if the previous opinion polls before the ballots opened are accurate then we're looking at the process session movements those parties having the greatest share but not enough for an outright majority and it looks like if that's the case it will be all about what kind of government they choose to try to form will they continue with their independence secession ambitions or will they

fall into line for something a little less confrontational we shall see who will join us as the day progresses and of course when we get the results to thanks paul. now the construction of a controversial chinese built high speed rail link in thailand has officially begun the six billion dollar project face much public opposition. over the last few years but while the thai government is firmly behind the project there are concerns in the region that beijing is using infrastructure projects to extend its influence to the public reports from hong kong. the construction here is for the hong kong sense and the rail link that will eventually connect the city center to southern china that's been a point of controversy as the terminus here the west terminus will have a facility for mainland authorities to operate custance and immigration procedures which means mainland officials will be working on hong kong soil there's been much opposition as many see it as an infringement of hong kong's autonomy and

a way for beijing to increase its control over the city now perhaps in not such an obvious way there are similar concerns with beijing trying to extend its influence in the region with the thailand china high speed rail link china is providing the technology and will be partially paying for the network that will eventually connect the capital bangkok to the northern border with laws by. thailand is developing in every way in order to make us be the hub to connect with these countries for this route it will connect with c.l. m.v. countries cambodia laos my own amar vietnam and to china and india. the inauguration launches the first space of construction the rail network across the region will be built in four sections to ultimately we saw there in china this falls in line with china's belt and road initiatives and development campaign across asia and beyond with beijing the center both governments say the rail project symbolizes the progress of chinese thai relations most in thailand agree

their rail network needs to be upgraded and a high speed rail system can transform travel in the country many are also asking at what political cost beatings involvement will be. no the end tribunals for the former yugoslavia the hague is closing its doors so let's back at its legacy in more than ten thousand days four thousand six hundred fifty witnesses gave testimony on torture killings and ethnic cleansing in the former yugoslavia the court sentenced ninety people ranging from politicians to military officers for crimes against humanity genocide and others crimes to the tribunals delivered one hundred sixty one high profile charges including those against the former president slobodan milosevic the bosnian serb leader radovan carriage and general ratko milat it one hundred thousand people were killed in bosnia and herzegovina between one nine hundred ninety two and one nine hundred ninety four as the former yugoslavia

split apart the tribunals has been lauded for making important contributions to the development of international law but as david cheeta reports some victims in sarajevo say the court has failed to bring them justice those saddam is one of the estimated thirty thousand women who were brutalized in the so-called rape factories run by bosnian serb forces during the conflict. the soldier told me to take my clothes off i refused he aimed a gun at my head them off me and three me on the bed and. the international criminal tribunal for former yugoslavia has now being closed leaving massada and the majority of other victims like her without any justice or chance of returning to a normal life. to agree to not tell you the man who did this to me go to way he left the country and went to serbia he keeps coming back to me all the time in my child

my go to sleep with this criminal every night and wake up with him. some of the victims have reported seeing the man who raped them walking freely in the streets around them without an apparent care in the world they've been given a life sentence of psychological trauma. the international community has spent decades and millions of dollars in his pursuit of the most notorious of the war criminals here. so many others though equally guilty and from all sides involved in the conflict have escaped justice. and those not to you which means. it means a lot for the victims that the court has established the facts and the main perpetrators but in just a couple of days after the emotion settle down with the verdict they will find that their everyday lives haven't changed a bit. bizarre to build up the courage to return to the house where she was raped she hoped scene where all have fear and horror came from would purge it from her

mind. but now she knows only bringing justice and punishment to her rapist will let her begin to heal david chaytor al-jazeera sorry a vote but it's time for the weather here's richard dunne and news of poor air quality in south asia well it's delhi so you and i know that no great surprise but really looking at some of the cities of the world delhi is almost off the scale at the moment six hundred thirty seven on the pm to reading me here hazardous is beyond very unhealthy is really how to decide what's the solution stopping the stubble burning cutting down on urban pollution no it's an atomizer spring into the air to wash the pollutants out will it work well we'll see won't we but it's under trial at the moment the situation is likely get worse for it's better because it starts to get colder than people start to switch on the heating and burning more fossil fuels and so nighttime temperatures delhi probably getting down close to

single digits now the weather across the region is pretty quiet in contrast to what we've got further towards the west coming in across levant and through the mediterranean airing see this area of cloud is an area of low pressure working its way across north africa and into the region so we're going to be seeing some rain across a good part of turkey with some snow certainly higher elevations across more eastern areas and a lot of cloud to go with it to further towards the south not continue so into saturday meanwhile across north africa where it's normally pretty quiet even at this time of the year we've got quite stormy conditions around the gulf assert not a cloud across cairo at least here the winds coming in the south should be nice and warm highs there of thirty. thanks very much richard well still ahead here on the al-jazeera news are thousands forced from their homes and solve a common room as the government tries to bring a rest up to control. the man on a mission to save traditional printing methods in time. also it's fifty days to go

al-jazeera. you read every your. welcome to the al-jazeera news hour again a reminder of our top stories the united nations will be debating a draft resolution rejecting president donald wants for recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital in the coming hours now washington has already threatened to cut aid to un members who voted against it sanctions polls are underway in catalonia as a regional snap election which may end spain's long political crisis now the

leaders of the separatist movement are pitted against candidates who want to remain part of spain. and the red cross says the number of suspected cholera cases in war torn yemen has reached one million more than two thousand people have died since the outbreak began in april. let's return now to the debate at the u.n. general assembly on the status of jerusalem that's going to begin shortly now priyanka gupta explains how a series of events over the past century have shaped today's developments. the status of jerusalem is at the heart of the israeli palestinian conflict and it's hugely symbolic for both sides and to understand why we need to go back seventy years ago that's when a u.n. vote carved up palestinian land into two states a jewish and arab one in nine hundred forty seven under this partition plan jews that was given a special international status to be governed by the un but

a year later israel declared itself a state triggering the first arab israeli war that's when israel captured more territory leading to the division of jerusalem where shows them came under israeli control that's marked in green over there and issues them blocked in read was under jordanian rule then in nine hundred sixty seven after a six day war is straight occupied east jerusalem and it's still under israeli control despite your resolution saying it's illegal vos forward to thirteen years later and nine hundred eighty is stray further consolidated a script over the city its parliament declared use them as it turned an indivisible capital but the international community rejected the palestinian see it used to use them as a capital of the future state but it's not just a palestinian issue juice them holds religious and symbolic significance for world's tree major faiths islam judaism and christianity the al aqsa mosque the western wall and the church of the holy settler are all in jerusalem. more than two

hundred countries receive aid from the u.s. this includes afghanistan the planned amount of military aid for next year is almost eight hundred million dollars that's a big drop from this year's allocated four point three billion dollars egypt which calls for the u.n. draft resolution on jerusalem is meant to receive one point three billion dollars in aid from the us has one billion dollars of a plan for jordan the custodian to some of jerusalem's holy sites. gideon levy is a columnist with her its newspaper joins me now live from tel aviv could have you with us on the program so i mean how do you react to the general consensus that the u.s. administration is using veiled threats and promises of financial punishment if the world doesn't vote its way. this is really outrageous i mean the united states is using bribery there is no other way to describe the united states is trying to buy with its money the opinions of the world in the world is very clear about jerusalem as it is very clear about the

patients and i don't see any way that the world will be able to be borked in such a way to i think that we're going to trump did it yesterday but he's the curation is to unite the entire world against the united states and israel if we assume that the arab and muslim countries are going to vote for the resolution against president trump statement how does that fit into the narrative at the moment of israel trying to foster better relations with countries like saudi arabia. better relations with saudi arabia are still a question because they will never become better as long as israel does not put an end to the occupation these ideas that israel can get along and find their way to have better relations with the arab states while this brutal occupation continues to take place in its dark becky this is obviously ridiculous because even if the

arab states don't do much for the palestinians they are at least obliged for the lip service and they will never give up at least the lip service and not one of the ways to pay this lip service is to vote against arizona lucian in which a united states declares that only israel is in jerusalem and only the jewish people has rights in jerusalem this is unheard of and no way that any arab states or any western state will vote for such a thing how isolating could this experience at the united nations general assembly be for the us if they find themselves as many assume in the minority and that the majority of global opinion is against them what does this mean. so the only question of majority and minority majority is very clear it might be really almost north korea in isolation i mean if it will be that only israel

and the united states and maybe some pacific islands will join this coalition we will face a reality in which the entire world say's one thing very clearly and two states as important as they are stands both are standing against the entire world i would like to see this even as as an israeli i would never like to be in such a coalition with donald trump israel and donald trump against the world what a shame what sort of consensus is there in israel about what's going on want to see you on the outside that is a large majority that would back its prime minister and the position it has on jerusalem but is there a dissenting voice in israel and how big is it that is where the public opinion had builded selfish. claiming that the whole world is against israel whatever israel does which is a lie their whole world is anti semite which is

a lie and by this israelis they released themselves from any accountability any responsibility for the occupation but by then of the day i think that after this brainwash system every israeli will ask himself do we really want to be so isolated does it worse for having some settlements in the occupied territories does it worse it to be so isolated and to be identified me as donald trump and only was donald trump i doubt it very much well we shall see what happens in the coming hour survivor. could have your insights joining us from tel aviv thank you. let's go to the americas now approved president is due to defend himself in congress against corruption allegations shortly pedro public is facing impeachment proceedings the case is part of a so-called carwash bribery scandal in brazil which is implicated dozens of politicians and businessmen across latin america but the other sanchez has more

from lima. only seventeen months enough but the deuce president bill republican you could be about to be removed from office on thursday he will defend himself in congress against allegations of graft that he dealt with brazilian construction giant other bridge where he held high government posts but in a televised message on wednesday he said he has always been transparent and hasn't done anything improper the school bus. i recognize i made mistakes i want to ask for your forgiveness with my mind clear and pain in my heart for not being careful with my information about my activities i am deeply sorry but this has never been a tool for dishonesty and criminal activities. which is key doesn't deny his company received payments all of it says it paid nearly four million dollars to businesses though he says they were managed by associates. we based the impeachment

on the fact that when he was finance minister his company received money from the corrupt overbred company and for lying to the country about it experts say legislators are imposing a fast track impeachment the popular first party led by for humanity who lost the presidential election by a tiny margin has already forced out five government ministers and now critics say it is after the president when the congress has given him an ultimatum to resign or be removed this violates his constitutional right to defend himself the presumption of innocence and due process it is a coup in the making. has asked the judiciary for a constitutional appeal to stop the impeachment for the organization of american states to send observers to watch how proceedings are conducted hours before the impeachment began thousands of proves marched in the center of lima saying there disenchanted with the political class of people here are not only furious. at the

political majority they say they not only want to control pathways in the country the opinion polls say nearly all politicians in office have lost the people's support that's why. we have to fight for a new constitution to restructure our country all these corrupt officials need to go president kaczynski says he will defend his mandate but even if he's able to hold onto the press. it will be very difficult to gain the trust of most peruvians idea. the former korean vice president who's not trained tantrum delayed of flying to twenty fourteen will avoid jail time south korea's top court ruled it was not guilty of the most serious charge of changing a flight route as kathy novak reports cho could have faced ten years in jail it was a case of bad behavior that came to symbolize the power of south korea's most
