the propagation carl's to try and promote regroup, but that solution is just a drop in the ocean with so many of the wealth carls under the trends of extinction . despite the marine results may soon be lost for the marshal, nor is declared in south korea presidency and so keel. it says it's aimed at clearing out from the north korean elements. the . i'm told mccrae, this is l g 0 live from the will. so it, coming up, the civilian this total arises in john's is really a tags have killed at least $25.00. tell us in the instance. don't. children are among the casualties. is ready strikes on something living on can at least 12

people on monday, hezbollah and israel accuse each other violating the truce opposition. fines is in serious science. i've captured more assessments and hum of provence, tens of thousands of people, a fleeing define the but we begin with breaking news from south korea with president to you and so killed has declared marshall moore. he made the unexpected announcements and a late night television address. while eunice kim joins us on the phone now from the soul. and did anyone see this coming festival? eunice? to hi, tom, i would have to say unexpected is an understatement. i think we are quite in shock with this development. it is 11 o'clock here in south korea quite late. the people getting ready for bed. uh to start the work day tomorrow. um, but the president is on its own guy did come up on a tv screens here in the country to declare as you said,

martial law. and the reason that he gave was a domestic reason. i should say we do not have a military emergency as far as his address said, but it is to address the political stalemate, if you will, that he feels the block stage that he feels that the national assembly to push through his legislative agenda there is we know that there has been quite a bit of political pension, not only with the opposition party, but also the man helped me the ruling parties as well handled her. and he used to be a prosecutor that he worked. the president works very closely with, but he has kind of taken his his own way in, in terms of addressing some of the scandals surrounding the president's wife. but to address kind of what he said tonight,

he said he declares martial law to protect the free republic of korea from the threat of north korean commune is forces to eradicate the despicable pro north korean. and ty, state forces that are plundering the freedom and happiness of our people and to protect the free constitutional order. so what he is we're referring to here for our international viewers are likely south koreans with in the south korean context . who the president feels is, is quite pro north korea and certainly anti use on your government. we do know that the president's approval rating really has struggled ever since day one. he's had some of the lowest approval ratings of past south korean presidents and, and currently as of last week, we saw it at 25 percent according to the poster wheel meter here. but once again, just emphasizing this is quite

a development that i think everybody is trying to understand why and what this means for life here in south korea. he did mention that this does not have or this will not, you know, greatly impact and external relations. but again, underlining there's no, you know, military and it's like a threat from north korea as far as what the more to be like you to assess. and yet it does seem to have taken many people by surprise with just getting some reaction . the south korean opposition democratic policy leader has the declaration of martial law is unconstitutional. we're hearing that i was saying that the declaration was wrong and they were a vows to block is. can you just give us an idea of how people are reacting to this and what we think can potentially happen in the, in the days ahead now?

right, so we are also hearing from, again the leader of, of the president's party people, a power party handler. and saying that he would oppose quote, the declaration of martial law alongside the people. so you have the president's political party actually opposing this move as well. so we can probably say that there will be an intensification of the gridlock in terms of cooperation between the president's office and the ruling people a power party. but beyond that, we really would have to wait and see what this means. he did say he would try to minimize the impact on daily lives of the people who are not in that political sphere. okay. but again, this is very fresh indeed. it is only happening in the last half hours. so the units can thank you so much for all of that. we really do appreciate it. you just come for us. and so what we're going to go now to see when co,

who is the managing editor of career exposure, he joins us from still caught in germany a 1st of all your initial reaction to this because it seems to have taken almost everyone by surprise. i think that's an understatement. i am genuinely surprised. i am extremely useful. but at the same time it's, i'm just asking myself, we really in the 21st century, korea transition to a full democracy in 1987. and we have not seen a menu or like they since that. okay, so why, why would the president do something like this? and so officially in his statement, and he says there has been on reasonable almost obstruction to his policies, from the opposition, which currently controls the national assembly. and he says that the concierge

currently under grades right from communist forces and the he needs to restore order. and the require is extreme is measure is like this one. in reality, the president use i'll give it, has seen use approval rating, plummeting in the last several weeks and months. and yes, the public knows that he has a background as a prosecutor and he's always use a very strong anti communist rhetoric. um, but for him to go this far is just simply astounding. yeah, it seems to have taken uh, almost everyone by complete surprise. we're just getting some information and now that the entrance to parliament is now blocked and low make has cannot enter at this point in time. the south korean opposition lead to lease is a problem. and we'll do his best to nullify humans marshal. but the military may

try to risk members of parliament. i mean, how extraordinary would it be if that was to happen? a simple we think be extraordinary means yes. as you rightly point out, the parliament has the power to lead to call them the president to least marshall is. so the majority of nash, national assembly members for to agree. and indeed that is precisely what we would have see the opposition doing now. but if the military is blocking the lawmakers from entering the building, then we are really going into a completely on started territory in the history of south korea. i'm also seeing online or major news portals of the south korean engine. it's fear that many articles related to the car and political development have been either blocked or erased. so what does marshall more of the main? i mean, obviously we've seen the military's defendant parliament. some websites are now

being blocked. what, what else? what are the repercussions? avia so he is said certainly insisting that he will use these executive power to override of what he calls the opposing forces. and in this case, he's essentially referring to the legislature and other than the details of some of the unclear. and we've also heard this out for you in military saying that they are on now, and then seeing their preparedness to deal with threats to national security. which what does that mean? you know, i'm worried about has, we've been north korea as well. that is the official rational. now of course, that's korea is on the thread both from the external forces, meaning north korea and from the internal forces in particular the communist sympathizers. and that's the label that he often uses to discredit the political

opposition. and the, the main opposition and democratic party which is in control of the legislature. mm hm. can we just take this back a couple of steps and can you just give us a bit of background, a bit of context with people that might no, no, no, the ins and outs of south korean politics. the just the political in finding that is being that has been going on over the last few months course. so south korea politically is deeply divided like many countries. so in the last presidential election that so the car and prize who used to be able take office. we have seen the electro and basically split in the middle when it came to supporting either him or the can do that all the main office issue on party. and since then, the president has suffered serious major setbacks related to scan those involving his wife. who has been accused of the multiple instances of corruption. and

there has been a call from the legislature, of course, the opposition party demanding a special investigation of the extent to which is why such being influenced in state politics. to. instead, he has been intensifying his ends. you come in this leverick and also we have seen the relations between north and south korea, the gray overtime. and of course, there has been instances of exchanging but little ones to carry anything from propaganda brochures to extreme extreme and crossing to bmc in both directions. okay, and um, just as we had saw that perhaps um, uh, president, you might make a concession. he has decided to resort to this maneuver, and we also hearing that the leader of the ruling party that is present use of us

party also saying that this is not the right thing to do for the country. okay, we'll have to leave it there for the monday, but we will come back to you later on in the program. if you can stay with us, that is the one cool. managing editor of korea. expose i. now if you're just joining us, wanna bring you up to date with this breaking news out of south korea. the president's eunice okey all has declared an emergency marshall. he says the mission was necessary to protect the country from the opposition circled and t state activities. and he made the announcement just a short time ago and a light not televised address, which has been met with shocking surprise by many inside and outside south korea. the entrance to the south korean parliament is being blocked. lawmakers cannot enter at this stage, and the south korean opposition leader has said that parliament will do his best to try to nullify humans martial. but the military may try to arrest members of

parliament if it does so we will stay right across the story as we get more information to hand the as ready forces on continuing attacks across the gallons. a strip killing at least 25 palestinian since dawn on tuesday. that includes people who were killed inside law here in northern gallons of wind and is really trying to tact a group of civilians. 20 of those were wounded and civil pellets to indians were killed in kansas city when a 4 story building was this. the ballot and central gaza. a drone attack has struck a residential area and during 5 members of the same family, including 3 children, all of the wounded were taken to our ox, the hospital. okay,

well for the licensed out on the guns, are we going to go to honey mac mood? who is in doubt by law in central kinds of honey. as we've said, another day of daily strikes, right across the strip, can you just talk us through what is happens? the answer to the quote tom, the past couple hours have been quite violent and a bloody across the city we're looking at just squeeze up for the talk. the most recent is that i saw the work for you. time were you to get in communication difficult as we're waiting for more of these to confirm the number of casualties in a shot directly. you got this particular risk. i think the lens is the bumps in the initial weeks of the uh, this genocide, the war across the golf industry. but as they do in the schools, this is an honor with school turn into a shelter, housing. hundreds of displays families that the majority of them have been in other schools, other evacuation centers, and do the ongoing and force displacement and as they doing neighborhoods and the

ongoing attacks that measured and people have been forced to evacuate to this particular school. other people have been thinking temporary, so is across all the city, many the western target, but we're look it up for people at least building the talk that some of the cities that were presented to us shows the sheer level of devastation to the ground floor is believed to be that was the, the target of these very the monetary again, we're looking at casualties, injuries arriving, hospitality baptist hospital, women and children are making up. the majority of casualties are really in critical condition, just half an hour before the attack. one of the doing the school and i sat on, i'll just hear a sports club that's in the western part of the city. this particular was turned into a shelter also housing, hundreds of displaced families to be reported killed in a joint attack, particularly for the clot they've been targeted before

a few months ago with the fighter jet. dropping the bomb destroyed the majority of the properties and facilities of the of the, the for the club and what the ring guns. okay, thank you so much on a honey mike would for us this with the lightest from the paula for the latest alfalfa and her boss have a meeting in cairo to discuss plans that have gone so it will be administered after the war. no a day joins us now from amman. cheese the because the is there any government has been dealt with era from proposing in the occupied with bank as well as from inside is route nor this will. how significant is this and, and can you just focus through what could be some of the sticking points between fafsa and a mouse? well, it's um, it's significant because there's been no movement on any funds regarding garza and ending this genocide for many months now. when what egypt has done is bring start the had him us and use this into a palestinian dialogue as

a way to push the chance of having a ceasefire. even if it's a temporary cease fire to have those talks advance with is real. and that is because israel has a v, so power by fire power, but also because it's made it very clear, it doesn't want to deal with him off, but it also doesn't want to deal with the palestinian authority. so the proposal that deals with some sort of an independent, an administrative body that is loosely connected with the palestinian government. this the, these are the early stages and nothing is signed but nothing is done. done is real, can veto or torpedo disagreements. so we still have to wait here from tell of the but it's one way the mediators are trying to push for a cease fire as soon as possible. okay, thank you so much. no, no day for us. the in a mind these where the defense minister is threatening to attack and deep into living on if the ceasefire collapses, that's off to his blood launched rockets on monday for the 1st time since the truce

was agreed. the group 5 missiles into an area called mountain golf in the shape of firms that is occupied by as row as well would tell you to, but a series of his drawings, killing 12 people. on monday, his blog has accused, as well as repeatedly finalizing the cease 51 position 5 is in syria. say that i've expanded operations against government forces and home a provence in recent days to have made significant advances into areas controlled by prison. shotwell assad government to salute has the licensed it's been a week since the opposition offensive in ne syria hallmark. opposition sliders led by the hey at the head either sham or h t s arm group. say they've expanded operations against government forces in have a province the ground to the south of their strong hold it. the government media says syrian army forces are engaged in fierce battles in the province and are

working on reinforcing lines of defense. ready diplomatically, regional powers are scrambling to find a solution. a got that as foreign ministry says it's working with partners in the region to end task. still it is because it has been clear from the day one and it is formulated around uh, making sure that the city and people of the center of our policy towards the sea and to the key is president says uncle is closely monitoring developments food in interpret to noon, i would greatest wishes for serious territorial integrity. i'm from national community to be presented, and for the instability that has been going on for fetch. and he has to end with consensus in line with the legitimate the mazda of the syrian people. as the fighting escalate, civilians are paying the highest priced view. when says nearly 50000 people have

been forced to flee their homes in just a few days with no indication of when they might return. as opposition groups push further. self government forces say they're ready to continue to repel their advance to send who i'm just the, you know, we're going to take a quick break now, but we will be right back with much more on the breaking news from south korea. with the president has declared marshall move the the limits to have a dream contained to study in your own adventure. now counter arrange

the the the but you're watching. you'll just hear a reminder of our breaking news. the south south korea's president has declared marshall lower young, so keel made the unexpected announcement and a late night television address saying that the move is because of the opposition support from north korea. local media is reporting that the entrance to parliament has been blocked and low. mike is on able to get into the building positionally the site they are working to nullify the more let's bring back august now and

is a see one crew. he is the managing editor of career expose and joins us from stick . got in. jimmy, thanks for being with us. once again here it can just took us through, is it we were saying a little earlier, just how i've shopped. you and many other people are this news, is there any more reaction coming out about what does happens in south korea or in the last half hour or so? well i, it starts square seeing that their government is already controlling the news that's coming out about the current development. i said earlier that we are seeing or started can use articles about what is happening to being to lead to door locked on sounds before we have some major use portals. we have also seen confirmation that police buses are blocking the entry way to the national assembly building. this is the main legislative body for the country. i'm suggesting that indeed lawmakers are being prevented or stopped from entering the building. this is

a crucial piece of information because the national assembly insect has the power to list marshall. if a majority of them we disagree, and indeed carn onto the current circumstance, it is the opposition democratic party that has the majority in the legislature more . so is the president is stopping them from doing their duty? then there are questions as to whether his declaration of martial can even be construed as legal or constitutional in the 1st place. okay. do they have to meet the problem? is this being blocked by the military? is we a hearing? can i not just meet somewhere else and convince somewhere else and, and vice? and so indeed we are sharing the opposition party. lawmakers are meeting as we speak in order to figure out the next steps. but you have to understand that

the last time marshall was state clearly declared himself for you. it was in 1979 ends in south korea trenton to transition to full electro democracy in 1987. no body would have expected this. something like this happen, of course we would need to see what the lawmakers believe they can do under the circumstances. but at the same time, i am just hearing that the president has declared curse. you studying 11 p m local time. and that is uh, essentially about 15 minutes ago. um, so people are not allowed to go out in the street. i know you're not in south korea, but can you just give us an idea of if the people of south korea will actually stand for this, that effectively they could potentially be having some of the democratic rights taken away will by listen to this curfew and will by stand for marshal being declared. and i think that's where the whole flies very successful raising

a very different position competitive 40 years ago. i cannot believe that the electron, we actually scans for this. and if you will look back at the development from 2016 to 17, when millions of south koreans took to the street to protest government corruption and essentially enabled the impeachment of been president impact in a. i think it's very likely that we're going to see a very similar development in solar and other major cities around the country. and the question is, of course, to what extent does president use a good one to deploy the powers at his disposal to prevent it? considering that he's already declared curfew, and the military has made a statement that they all understand by 2 and any noticing the prepared rights against any threats to national security or to just briefly,

the president said that he's an act of this because of the move uh is because of the opposition support from north korea? i mean, is there any truth to that statement? this the standard rhetoric that we hear from sales for you guys can start with each time. and again, they point to north korea as the great external thread. and they were pulling to political opponents with the them to come see as being in conclusion with the regina antonio. you know, they're to say why the conservative should be given to the rain or the country. and it is rather rig works to some extent on the most hard core of conservative supporters. and you will do see quite regularly people who support the government, protesting against is a standard civil, north korea and or call me misread. and i don't think that this was how it will work on the vast majority of south koreans and,

and just the fact that he has decided to declare martial law is going to have a major repercussion. and for soft spring and politics in the coming days and weeks . and i'm sure there are many, many ramifications that we will discuss until through over the next few days. thank you so much for joining us. that is c one qu, managing it. it's a on a career exposure. what's the use now and us president joe biden is in lawanda meeting, and goal is later as part of a 2 day visit to promote washington's investments in sub saharan african. he was welcomed by president child or income ahead of tools on defense and economic agreements bind in. we'll inspect the veto carto, 1300 calories around white read development thinking, zambia, congo, and, and gold. the u. s. committed $3000000000.00 to the projects that i'm just a fast track. the export of minerals. that button is the best selling us president to visit the country. well, let's uh,

go to hiring matessa who isn't lawanda for us and what is buying them? what is the us actually hoping to get out of this business? the last year, tracy team, the us, and then the was about 2000000000 tre, between china and the goal was about 23000000000. that's a huge difference. a huge challenge with us trying to grow it's based has an influence and one with the minerals such as copper and cobalt. that'd be a congo being transported to the e. u and the us. so everyone has a way that president's job i, that is on his way out and people are not wondering what is going to happen next to me that donald trump will take over in january. and last time, when trump was the president, he paid very little attention to african and the say that probably will not change . so and goal in the fish will be watching and listening to by this, he has to reassure them that the us will still remain committed to advocate even

when trump takes off. okay, how, how did people feel bad about buttons visit? well this will lead to me, i mean the us sees i'm going to as a digit pods of strategic partner, geographically and politically. for example, that goal is involved in peaceful in the democratic republic of congo is try to broker several si size. they have in house, but it's still trying some countries the region has same troops to the diaz needs to try and release the. so in terms of the us helping advocate with military assistance, that could be something positive and goals in general. the concern is the economy. it's not doing well, inflation keeps like this high, i'm employment. this is one of as because largest oil exports has, but many people often support economists say and go this problem is that it hasn't diversified. if you live too much in oil, so it's hope that some of the global officials loops the waste help that was

supplied economy and then grow with economy as well. thank you so much for all of it. how we may test it for us and the wanda, see a man of cutoff has made king charles on a 2 day side visits, a person check to me and been mad. i'll sony has been on it with a royal salute and a carriage precision. during a morning of pageantry in central london. eliza, the man hits to the houses of parliament to address both chimes as the 2nd banquet at buckingham palace will follow in the evening. and on wednesday the met will meet the u. k. prime minister kissed on the attend downing street top of the agenda. that is strengthening of different medical economic ties between the 2 countries. levine means probably tyco and sentence to.
