9:01 pm
souls with the very like. the thank you for joining us. south korea's national assembly has passed a resolution blocking the martial law and declared by the president, calling it invalid. 190 of its 300 members were able to get access to the building after the military tried to stop people from entering. it would count exceeds as president human, so killed the cad marshal law the 1st time the country has done. so. since 1979, the opposition democratic party leader lead draining, says anyone acting under the president's order is breaking the law off to the parliament's vote. on the south korea as constitution martial law must be lifted when a parliamentary majority demands it. shall i don't mean your open a hit bindix at an emergency marshall in order to defend the free republic of korea
9:02 pm
from the subject of north korean communist forces and to eradicate the shameless criminal and the state forces that pricing on people of that freedom and happiness this measure is necessary to safe called a constitutional or a freedom or something. so non designing due to this martial law, i will rebuild and protect the free republic of korea, which is falling into the depths of national ruin. i will decisively eliminate onto state forces who being wreaking havoc under the main co puts of nations down full. well, this is an unavoidable step to protect our freedoms and safety of the people, as well as to ensure the nation sustainability and security against dionte state forces attempting to over throw off system. we will. and this is a scene in so where it's just after 3 am protest is gathering in large numbers
9:03 pm
against the president's declaration, but also rejoicing at the national assemblies vote. to declare this motion by the president, this decision illegal and blocking it, there was shocking anger on the stories of the soft curry and capitol with some of the protest as gathered outside the national assembly, calling for the president's the rest. let's get the latest with our eunice came who was live from. so eunice, just after 3 am and still lots of people on the streets there outside of national assembly. bring us up to speed with what's been happening. the right, that's right. it is late into the night early morning, wednesday and it's also quite cold outside as we are approaching winter here in the south korea. but that does not seem to have combed the excitement that perhaps that is being felt outside of the national assembly. as at about 1 am local
9:04 pm
time. as you noted, 190 lawmakers were able to get past the police barricades to enter the chamber to unanimously vote for a motion that calls on president use on your to cancel his motion to declare martial law. now we have had a deafening silence from the presidential office. we have not heard from the president since that uh, national address on the state on national television. but we are hearing from us some of his aids through local reports that they did not know this was coming in and the parents of effort to distance themselves from the president. now as well, we are seeing of where unity across political aisles, but it has to be said the national assembly has been very polarized between
9:05 pm
the liberal party and the president's conservative party. but with this surprise and shocking motion to declare martial law, that really nobody saw coming, at least and in the general's fear it. i think it's really united the 2 rival political parties in calling for the president to cancel it, calling it unconstitutional. and that any police and soldiers who take actions in line with the now cancelled martial law by the national assembly would be breaking the law. speaking of, of soldiers and police units. what's the security situation like around the national assembly building? because earlier, they were a soldiers trying to prevent time just on people from getting in front of trying to prevent politicians from getting into the building. and then they later withdrew.
9:06 pm
what's the security situation like in the vicinity of the national assembly right now? so we are not hearing any reports of physical skirmishes. i am seeing police a big police vans against the backdrop of, of the a crowds that are gathered outside of the national assembly. but these are big police vans that usually show up when there is a big riley or a big gathering of people, which sole is, frankly, a very familiar with. it seems, every weekend on a saturday there are multiple civic groups holding a rally and holding demonstrations. and typically there is a large police presence for crowd control. but as far as any uh, what we saw earlier of of police and soldiers blocking entry to lawmakers, the elected leaders of this land,
9:07 pm
which is really odd site to id because law makers typically have have free flow of access to the parliament building. but so far, things seems to be quite peaceful, although there is a lot of uncertainty still. yeah. a great deal of uncertainty. how much disruption i mean, it happened, of course, in the evening. so, you know, the markets were closed and so on. how much disruption do we expect this to cause? if the crisis continues, if we go into a prolonged crisis, what impact is it going to have on the economy? the financial might walk as a daily life and software you right? that is a concern that many of financial regulators are also dealing with tonight. and there have, i think, is a conversation as far as they even want to open the stock markets tomorrow in order to kind of, uh, you know, ease the hard landing if you will,
9:08 pm
in trading. we are already hearing that the korean one has us dropped 2 levels we have not seen and over 2 years. and of course, south korea is a very export reliant economy. so any, a big shift in, in the currency markets is, is going to deal an impact for traders. but at the moment, um, it is very much a wait and see situation and politically, it looks like, at least on the outside of everybody, is for canceling. the, the, the marshal law announcement, but that is something that only president use honey. i can do so many people will be watching to see his next move since declaring that martial law some 4 hours, 5 and a half, 5 hours ago. yeah. everyone watching closely indeed, because economic repercussions, i say, could be huge as this is,
9:09 pm
asia is 4th largest economy, but also the 12, the largest economy in the world units came in. so thank you very much for the moment. while everyone as unit said that watching the situation unfolding in south korea very closely the united states, which is south korea as close as online the region. cautiously of knowledge, the situation is said, the administration is in contact with the republic of korea as government and is monitoring the situation closely. that's go live to our white house correspondent, kimberly hall kit. kimberly. this is called everyone by surprise, including the white house talk us through the various statements from washington. they've all been very cautious and yeah, and what we're hearing from the deputy secretary of state campbell is that in addition to the fact that the united states is in contact with the officials in south korea, they are watching the events unfold with what he said was grave concern,
9:10 pm
in addition monitoring carefully because the united states has security interest in the region, there are some 30000 us soldiers that are positioned there. and there is a significant, as well as strategic security relationship between the united states, south korea as well as japan. and that there are a number of purposes for being there. there is the need to in the eyes of divided ministration to fend off what it says is north created russian ad. also the growing influence of china, particularly with respect to its influence in the south china sea and with regard to disputes over the as the issue of taiwan. so what we know is that the concern for the buying and ministration is making sure that the relationship that goes far back but has been reaffirmed,
9:11 pm
is recently is just 2 weeks ago when the us uh president as well as the south pre and leader. and the japanese leader as well were meeting on the sidelines of a pack is that they continue to stay in close, quote, communication and cooperation. even if they haven't spoken just in the last day or so, their governments certainly are right. uh, interesting that you say they, they continue to stay in close communication because one of the lines that says just dropping now is that the us just saying that it wasn't notified in advance. so of this of south korean marshall not declaration. talk to us more about the relationship between the 2 governments and more specifically, between president biden and the south korean leader. what, what does it been like that'll be something that will be of concern to the, by the ministration, given the fact that the 2 leaders did need just a couple of weeks ago,
9:12 pm
they did sign up in back in april of 2023 here in washington. a declaration of their re affirming they. 2 for security partnership and their desire to work in a tri lateral arrangements, so to be fly sided is sort of going against that affirmation of that relationship which has been established. so there certainly is the grave concern, but it has been expressed by the deputy secretary state moving forward. we're also in an unusual period of time right now where we are in the transition period between the bible ministration. following the november 5th, the us presidential election, and now that transitioning period to january 20th when there will be the an operation of prizes and president elect donald trump. and so the question becomes, and many in washington have been wondering, would there be some sort of an incident with respect to north korea and whether or
9:13 pm
not there would be any sort of a action taken on the part of north korea to take opportunity of this transition period and that is still the big question mark of washington with respect to if that has any influence on the events taking place. now. kimberly thank you very much for that. kimberly. how catch is our white house correspondent lives they have from washington? well, let's take a closer look at south korea's president tools. popularity has plummeted in recent months. on, on december 18th, 1916 sold softly at june. sockhill grew up in an academic family. he served as a prosecutor for nearly 30 years and became famous for pursuing high profile cases, including investigations, a former residents in march 2022 you and was elected south korea's 13th president in a tightly contested election since taking office has prioritized strengthening alliances with the us addressing what he calls threats from north korea and enhancing south korea's global leadership, particularly in technology and trade. but he's also been drunk by
9:14 pm
a series of scandals including one involving his wife while joining us not to discuss these latest developments. the so jane lame, who's the co director of the international institute of career. i'm studies at the university of central lancaster. she's live from preston in the u. k. and also with us as c one cool. managing editor of the korea expos. a who's in stuttgart, germany. thank you both for being with us on algae or quite astonishing developments in south korea and these last 2 hours. i think a lot of people didn't see this coming. let me ask you 1st about the, the latest developments. so jen lam, uh and this is of course the national assembly voting to block the martial law declaration by the president. how do you think this is going to play out now? how long will this crisis moment last? see think uh, i do not want to how we, uh, to conclude, but uh, starting from the,
9:15 pm
the situation and to what we have had in south korea. we're centrally so far as we know that we've had gatherings in protest and many of the people is the student demanded impingement of the in some, you know, and this was very radical decision by you. and i think that was the only route for him to think as a last resort. so this was this, i think we've become the catalyst, almost the population is south korea. and what this will lead will be probably the impeachment of the prism to now. so you won't grow your thoughts difficult to see what's going to happen. well, the president rescind this declaration and are we likely to seize in the basement? the search in lynn says so it's yeah, the question was, is not sorry to interrupt you. that question was for you in socio i'm sorry. okay.
9:16 pm
can you won't see won't cool. can you hear me? sorry that question was for you. my apologies. yes. yes, i hear you sorry. yes. the question comes down to whether you're in so good is. busy law abiding that, i mean, we have heard the opposition, arguing that the declaration of martial law itself was invalid to begin with. not least because it was done without consultation with the national assembly. so it has been and now we have seen the resolution coming from the national assembly calling on the president and to resend the declaration. and um, if he is somebody who has respect for the constitution, then rule of law himself 3 and then he should accept it. but he's interesting is we have heard only a complete silence from the presidential office as we speak. i believe there are about 20 south korean journalist came down in the press room of the president's
9:17 pm
office waiting to see if there's going to be actually any kind of comment coming out. but so far the signs are very unlikely. you know, i think that the mislead is right to say that we're going to see the political landscape moving toward an impeachment against president un. and it should be processed perhaps very quickly. indeed, interesting that he hasn't said anything that we haven't heard anything from him since he made that declaration in that late night tv address. he's opponents so jean lame have accused him of trying to use the military for his own political gains. and we have heard some within the military saying that even with the national assembly blocking the declaration, that it would still hold until the president signs it. um, do you, where do you see the military going with this? which way would it go? does the president have the full support of the military, a unified support of the military?
9:18 pm
this is the very coach co, but at the same time, fairly interesting point for us to look at now because in the past, at the midterm, we, when we were under the military government in stop 3 and 9 to 17, and i did the military power was really, really high at the high amount moment, but now we are having the different generations. even though they do decision makers and military, we are still from the older generation. but at the moment, the young generation, they had the, the main soldiers there, i'm that generation. i don't think we are going to have the same teachers and as in the past. but at the same time, the decision makers in the military members are, well, they have no choice but to follow the present. but i don't think the pregnancy unit will delay this for any long because the he has no other choice but needed to follow the majority of the population in south korea. now, i think he lost the game. i see one cool. uh so generally mention of the young generation. of course, this is not the 1st time that marshall has been declared in
9:19 pm
a soft career. the last time was in the 1980s. but most of the countries young generation, all that experience has been a vibrant democracy. you know, what will they make of this? and, you know, again, the same question to you, which way do you think the military will go with this decision? yes, i mean even for someone like me who was in his forties sort of idea of martial law in south korea. so shocking. and i think this is something that just about everybody in south korea, we say they are just done by the development and even the term itself marshal law. that something that people do not hear very often in the context of self gram politics. when it comes to how the military is acting, or even if they're different and not so a some commentators truly believed that south korean military is not especially well unified. there are different factions within it, and they are probably having discussions as to what to do. some infections may be
9:20 pm
in favor of supporting the president, but others might not be. but when i look at the actual people who are at the very top of the military, who have been instrumental to this declaration, and they are people who are very close connections to the president, gonzalgo. it's the commander who is in charge of carrying out the marshal, lloyd says, and also a minister of defense. he who has when gone to the same high school as the president. and these people have reported the being instrumental in making the events of yesterday, in korea and today or reality. so that dimension cannot be discount to when we think about how the president may be planning his next thoughts. all right. of course, we are waiting to see what his next move is going to be in the meantime, just as you know, pull back in and take a look at the original implications of
9:21 pm
a prolonged political crisis in north korea. we've heard from my correspondent in washington that there is some concern in washington dc, especially with the us being in between 2 administrations right now. so would you name what do you think it is the line of thinking within the us administration right now? do you think they see this as a political dispute with then south korea, or should they be more concerned about what it could mean for the security of the region as a whole? i think it was actually the other way around. the reason why use on your had to, to take these a radical measure is because of the factors that trump is becoming the new presence of the united states. because the trump, himself is someone who we cannot easily expect what she's going to do next time. so use only of may have, does need to take the different direction from the notion she has taken
9:22 pm
a bunch of today because the trunk will probably have a somewhat different from the biden's optimization. and that's also made to make the ends on you're about to really frustrated. so having said that, it will be really about whether the population is out. cool. yeah. will be successful to take visions. i'm, you're down from the ultimate assures me from his office or not defend the united states. really look at it and then we'll see how they can take action afterwards. do you agree with that? i see one code that the, you know, the person might have taken this action because there's a new leader and donald trump coming into the white house. and you know that he's doing that because of that as well. i think at the very least um, it is reasonable to conclude, said yours, i'll go in and pay no regard to the opinions of the guard and by do not ministration. mister vitamins has about 2 months left and this time mr. trump is taking cover very soon, so it's um, when we look at, for example,
9:23 pm
another example of where um, south korean government promised to deliver weapons to crane. but now are holding back on the problem is because they are not sure about how this decision will be take processed by the incoming trumpet administration. so yeah, in that same way, i think the influence would be biting a demonstration on south korea at the moment is clearly limited. and we do want to st. come into detail about the reason or security implication of all this and how for the us, what is happening is of course you might be important and that is rather than with regard to north korea. who used to go has been quite instrumental to improving ties with japan. well, which also as a very important american ally. and the reason is some size, a country that us very much one to south korea to be called closer to for
9:24 pm
a long time. and when you and is to be impeached or removed from power, that old dynamic is going to shift no question. and whoever succeeds you in this office is likely to be someone less interested in this relationship. he won't co thank you so much so much in name. thank you both for speaking to us about the situation in software. you would really appreciate your insight and we will have more analysis of the developments inside create laser and then use our thank you to the center of the world news now. and in guys that dozens of palestinians have been killed in is really strikes on tuesday. and gaza city are you in school and sports club sheltering hundreds of display spanish, simians were targeted in separate is really as strikes, multiple deaths and injuries were reported. a mosque in the area was also hit early

9:33 pm
talk to join. the european union will be nice. not even the whole team could face this one asian chapter action on the weight of the tele, that is also settled, whether to be found across the middle east and event at the moment. and that is set to continue over the next few days. so lots of sunshine across the gulf temperatures where we expect to see them. laws need twice, guys, with just a few showers coming into places like q 8 and the northeast of saudi arabia. but across that event, we all seen some on sex of whether that is sets to ease as we go into thursday. but behind it you can see some very what and windy weather moving across the north of
9:34 pm
africa. that thanks to unsettled weather, edging its way across the mediterranean. so we'll see some heavy rain for algeria to new z a and eventually libya coupled, you coupled with some very strong winds in the days ahead, is much quieter. i'm room across the north of africa, even hotter across the very south. we got a heat wave conditions blasting into what's one of the gap around seeing 14 degrees celsius, a little bit cooler in cape town with settled weather. you can see the weather, the weather, picking up across eastern areas of south africa, some of those showers, touching into the sue to n. s, which you need as well. but for johanna spoke, we are going to see the mercury rice who were already went above the average with a chance of thunderstorms on 1st day i of the place. and so i go on with say, the press for treated with the color of the media hub and vital vantage point to
9:35 pm

9:36 pm
[000:00:00;00] the, you're watching the news on, on to 0 reminder on main story. this, our, a soft 3 is national assembly as fast to resolution blocking the martial law declared by the president position is called invalid present use on kill declared martial law. and then kind of bounce late night t. the address on tuesday. the accused the countries main opposition party of sympathizing with north korea and of on tie state activities surprises. antonio joining audi has called on into swiftly lift, marshall long after the parliamentary folks as get more reaction to the situation in south korea and speak to christian salumi. now is life for us at the united nations. a great deal of concern, i imagine pursuing a way you are about these developments in software. yeah,
9:37 pm
especially since the country currently sits on the un security council, a lot of concern, a lot of surprise. it appears not a lot of information about what's happening. and basset, or 1 june cook of south korea, came to work today like it was any other day. as you mentioned, south korea does hold a seat on the security council there and elected member. he walked into the building. i attempted to stop him and ask him a question about the declaration of martial law. he just smiled and kept on walking . he went into the security council chambers. he made his remarks on behalf of south korea about the topic of the day, which was women in peace and security and their role in peace and security. and then he left the meeting early. all right, it's the same reaction we've gotten actually from a lot of ambassadors and un officials who tell us that they are still processing.
9:38 pm
what has happened to the secretary general is on his way back to new york from overseas, his spokesperson says they're watching very closely with concern about the situation there. but i should point out that because this is an internal matter and south korea is not on the agenda, the security council, it's not the kind of thing that the secretary general will go into a lot of detail on. but there is concern about any instability on the korean peninsula, given the tense relations with north korea. and the fact that north korea is on the agenda, the security council here it is under international sanctions over its ballistic and nuclear missile program. so we know many countries are concerned about instability there, but i spoke to the united states and boston or the french ambassador, the chinese ambassador and the u. k. a basset, or, and i got the same response from all of them. we are still processing what's happening. we're watching the news just like you are. so clearly this took
9:39 pm
a lot of people by surprise. kristin, thank you very much for that question. so mean i for us today at the united nations in new york, one has been decades since martial law was imposed in south korea when the country was actually ruled by military dictatorship. the last declaration of martial law to be made was in october of 1979 after president fox during he was assassinated in may, 1980 general, as shown to one extended martial law nationwide to cease power, sparking the wrong jude democratic uprising. also called them 18 to move into that uprising was met by violent response from the military. hundreds of civilians and students were killed by the late 1980 south korea moved to democracy following major protest free elections and the creation of a new constitution less. now bringing roger bakers, joining us from austin in texas is the executive director of the stratford center for 5 to one of your politics at rain. thank you so much for being with us. they
9:40 pm
had been some rumors recently. that's something what was afoot with some of the appointments the president had made especially in the military, but did you see this coming? no, we didn't see this particular move coming. i do know if you go back and look at the transcripts of the confirmation hearings on the south korean parliament of september. there were some questions raised about the relationship between president you and an incoming defense minister kim, as well as a few other officials as being old highschool cronies and some accusations. but that would be setting the stage for martial law that we, we did not anticipate this particular action coming, particularly at this time. and yeah, it's interesting that you point out the relationship with the military because the president's opponents have accused him of trying to use the military for his own political gains. just as a president who has the extremely unpopular who's been involved in a number of controversies, which way do you think the military will now go? so the military is put in
9:41 pm
