the beast in the totally the timeless journey gone. i will choose its next president and condiments on december the 7th. but with nationwide protest service, touring inflation and claims eventually ro fraud can the country maintainance position as a beacon of democracy in west africa followed gone as elections on challenges era. the protest outside says could be as parliament demand, the president steps down the to be facing charges of treason after imposing martial law. the aroma center. this is audra 0 live from don't have also coming up carry on the streets of georgia and protests as clashed with police. i angry over

the government's decision to suspend insults, to join the european union. 3 medical staff for seriously injured and is rarely attacks targeting time allowed one hospital in northern gosh. i have yet to be used towards a pulse, the death sentence of a 1000000000, their real estate talked to him behind the country's biggest bank from the beginning. says korea where the main opposition party says it's going to file trees and charges against the president officer. he imposed martial law. joseph, you'll lifted the decree within hours of parliament voted to rejected. the opposition says it will also push for his impeachment protests as have been gathering on the steps of parliament leaves of life. pictures from their local media is reporting the president's chief of staff, and several tal page have not offered to resign. the decree, head band,

political activities and put the media under the president's control unit, kept reports from so it was from crisis to celebration. in a matter of hours, south koreans poured onto the streets after president, utah goes back down reversing his decision to impose a martial law. ok, we kill him, had a you after the national assemblies demand to leave marshall, marshall, a troops have been withdrawn. i will accept the national assemblies demand and lift muscle through a cabinet meeting. how the president had decided to call out the military just hours earlier, accusing the main opposition party of sympathizing with north korea and antis, date activities. the sweeping restrictions included banning political activities, controlling media and threatening arrest without warrants doctors on strike were ordered to return to work within 48 hours with politicians,

including those when the president's own party brought back in a late night emergency session of parliament, the citizenship is leis risk, so the national assembly will stand with the people to defend democracy. with 190 of 300 members present, the national assembly passed a motion to lift the martial law. the country's constitutions that the president must obey. hours later, troops withdrew from around the national assembly. this political crisis marks one of the most severe tests of south korea's institutions since it transition to democracy from military rule. for many south koreans, the declaration stirred memories of the country's authoritarian pass. the parliament is now discussing the president's impeachment of time, the party leader of the democratic party. looking at the president speech, i'm going to shit out parties, petition. even if the president lives the marshal,

he cannot avoid being held accountable for his attempts to disrupt the government. window saying loud and clear that the president is not fit to serve as the leader of the country. this is the order for me all countries, the president has to step down from the immediate crisis may have been averted, but the countries power struggle is far from over unit scan all to 0. so oh, you said you're always a public prosecutor who wanted to crack down on corruption bots is being marked and political scandals himself in january, he's dropped a bill that would have ordered an investigation into his wife. she being accused of stuck manipulation. in july, his wife was questioned over at accepting a deal a hand bag is a gift in violation of soft korean antique corruption laws. and in october, local media leaks the phone call of the funder of appalling agency. and he boasted of his influence over the president's choice of candidates and by elections held in

2022 south could be as large as labor union is called for. i mean, definite general strike until the president resigns. the 1200000 member korean confederation of trade unions accused, as you know, of an irrational and anti democratic measure to the prosecutor should arrest president during our charges of treason. the president does not have an unity against reason. there was no reason for him to impose martial law, so there was no evidence threat of war. therefore he clearly violated the constitution for the plumber. one of them last night, we won. it was our victory. i speak on behalf of all the farm is young, so gills regime is even more dangerous than climate change. we cannot turn a blind eye to present in you any longer because he is a close original ally of the united states. the white house has responded to the decision to lift martial law, saying we are relief to that president unit has reversed course to go hate and has

more reactions from washington dc. this is really closely watched here in washington because south korea is such a critical ally of the united states. we do know that you as president joe biden, who's overseas was briefed on it as well as secretary state entity blinking we heard from his deputy secretary state, kirk campbell. he said that they were watching developments as a happened with grave concern. so again, here at the state department, they really wanted to try and stay on message repeatedly say they wanted to see this resolved peacefully. and then according to the rules of law, we were able to talk to the deputy press secretary after the legislative vote was taken. he said, that's what they wanted to see happened. they did tell us a couple of other things. they said that they didn't change any security at their embassy. they were really watching to see how this played out a. but they also didn't say that they weren't told in advance that this was going to happen. this is important, not just diplomatically the militarily, the us consider south korea, a key ally, they more than 20000 troops stationed there. so they wanted to see the outcome

peaceful and quick product line alpha 0 at the state department as well. the philippines coast guard is accusing chinese vessels of aggressive actions and contest inside of the china sea waters. footage, released by the philippines shows is patrol ship being sprayed by the water. accounting of a chinese vessel is also a cheese chinese ships of rhyming and other dangerous maneuvers. china's coast guard says the philippine ships came dangerously close to its law enforcement, same their actions were in accordance with the law. it's the latest flare up in a contest in scarborough show, which both countries claim to georgia and i would demonstrate as have been protesting and the catholics to policing for a 6 night. they're angry about the government's decision to delay talks and joining the european union opposition also accused as the ruling georgia dream policy of rigging. october's election between method uncle has this report from the protest introducing the night time. instability has become anything but quiet

protest as gather near the parliament building over the government's decision to freeze b u membership tools. it's been almost a week of the protest might lead process in sibley. see, people are still getting dallas by walter about the spikes, the near freezing temperatures. it's only around plus 2 degrees. the tension seems to be really heating up. george's prime minister click of a, he's a, have accused opposition, policies of trying to organize a revolution like ukraine's more than a decade ago in key it's might on square. so the, a time to organize the might done george's already over what's called everybody, to keep quiet, let's say, and to keep peace in this kind of thing. so we are responsible for about 10 ish or whatever, but the, the 3rd of the piece in the sense the 6 nights so

a much earlier escalation of violence. police cleared the square and began shooting vollings of tear gas grenades. the clashes happen in waves with protest as shooting fireworks and retreating when police 5 t a gas. we are in the very center of the laser where it's impossible to be without a mass because this whole area gets to your desk every 5 minutes. as you can see everyone around these wearing heavy duty gas mask. those who didn't for the don't last long here, but some protest as a found a way to neutralize the gas by dropping it into cans of water can trying to catch them flying. so is i go really upfront to get it to you, i guess capsule and you just have to push it down with your hand and try to shake it off. as the political crisis deepens, demonstrate to say they will not leave until this change to the job. but

besides that, every night till 5 the the most my reason we do want to try to really see is that a stalemate. the opposition wants a new election, but the government says it will not negotiate. to meet him, it didn't go out to 0 to police. the we're going to turn to northern guys and know where the campbell had one hospital in bed. let's say that has again being targeted by is very artillery and gunfire. hospital direct to it says is really drones drop, palms filled with shrapnel. 3 medical staff are being injured was one in critical condition. earlier in guys, a city a un school and sports club sheltering hundreds of palestinians were targeted and

separate is where the air strikes. multiple deaths and injuries have been reported . a mosque and the area has also been hit. dozens of palestinians have been killed in attacks across the street on tuesday. and the reports from demo bala in central gas. throughout the day, we're witnessing a surgeon the tox, particularly on golf. a city where there's really military, within a span of the past few hours grown up more deadly attacks are getting rid of dental buildings. public facility evacuation centers middle school and as they through neighborhood housing, hundreds of displays, families truck was this truck with the wrong miss. all of these were looking at 6 people reported because right of the spot and many other with various injuries were all transferred to an alley hospital on a separate talk is really a military target. it is for the club in what's been part of java city coming for people and more than a, with various injuries chris,

some of them was reported with the critical injuries, also transferred to an over well hospitalized right now the hospital has been accommodating large numbers of injuries for the past few months to the point now it's being pushed to the brink of collapse with insufficient medical staff available right now to provide the proper medical care and the acute shortage your medical supply all together and making it very difficult for the health facilities to operate in a sustainable proper way, also another attack in a shudder refuge account. this particular refuge account has been released that the bond vida is really military. since the initial weeks of this genocide of war, the vast majority of holes in life, the supporting system across the records you can own means of life has been destroyed or severely damaged. and the majority of people have been pushed into further internal displacement as the worst continues the northern part of the strip

of witnessing and increase of the genocide those are couple would be if miss lindsey activity is going on right now. the systematic destruction of demolition of homes as well as the absolutely destruction of all means of life, including agriculture. land that involves those largely in the northern part of district. the hospitals have been out of service. the entire northern part of the service running down and one often regional health facility that is running at the lowest capacity possible. let's not forget for the past 60 days, the northern part of the ship has been without any proper access to full water, medical supplies, or any of the life savings and necessarily, and that's the side of the needed live saving items of resources. as the work continues across the garbage trip. honey, my, how much does your data from the printer on any of the gods? how the site?

you know, the color has been to the un school, which i mentioned and you spoke who is both 1st responders and survivors. i am right now standing inside as it was cool. and as they pulled neighborhood to the south of guy, the cities, these really fights are just of targeted this you and shelters school, at least for palestinians, have been killed and dozens were injured and transferred to the hospital. as you can see, the scale of this reaction inflicted on this classroom worth mentioning is that the school was not targeted for the 1st time. it has been targeted many times by these really ministry at the our team rushed to this on law school. after it was pounded by, is ready will plains, dozens of civilians were killed, injured, a menus to buried under the debris. the wounded were taken to hospital as we speak, search and rescue operations are still underway with no equipment to tool. we're doing our best to save who become you and building site. it should be under protection, especially since it's housing hundreds of display civilians. but it was still

targeted for nathaniel newman. we've been displaced for a long time and took shelter in this. you and school. i was making some food for my children. all of a sudden the doors and windows started flying over our heads. i run for my children to find one of them injured on his head. he was bleeding heavily, his blood is all over me. my husband rushed him to the hospital. i came out to see this massive destruction. they continued to bump innocent civilians, women and children. what rome did we do? our homes were destroyed and we took shells and schools and tents only go does all shield he is all wrong. are you? as you can see the mass of the mistakes you inflicted on this? it's last chrome, we can see here, bit cover and blankets. these 2 values have been filtering here for more than 400 days of the loan is right. the poodle war dignity place due side. the guy is a strip. and the light of the ongoing is what really scale of attacks,

many casualties, and your policies are being affected by these go to attacks. volume honeybee does your northern causal, how does find? so that had an autism, mexico sent a lower cartel, isn't a violent internal power struggle is local residents cold in the crossfire, the hello that. let's have a look at the weather across north america. we're an octave last has blown in across canada and the north east. of the us bringing some very heavy snow to states like new york, philadelphia as well as the higher now it's still there with us. you can see the strong north west city wins causing that lake effect snow. we are expecting some

pretty significant snow pushing out towards the northeast eastern parts of canada on wednesday. but across the east coast it is cold, but it remains pretty clear as we had done to the cell. we have got a collection of pretty intense thunderstorms, the walking across texas and louisiana. but high pressure across from the central and eastern areas keeps things rot of fine and white with some with a weather coming into west and parts of canada on thursday. but that all those cold wintery conditions dominating across the northeast and eastern canada. we'll see that snow in toronto over the next few days. it is going to get very cold here by friday. now it's not as cold go, central america and the caribbean. still so sunshine to be found here, laundry for cuba, searching across into mexico that remains very wet for costa rica and panama rain continues to pull in to thursday. the

many in taiwan, i believe a chinese invasion is an old to v o, correct. and some are preparing the military is practicing the island. a 25 you diligently trained is that simple. defense cost be good to be, come back to read for the day. and she hopes would never have custom originally experiencing this week or toxics, which divided straits on and just either the the or to, to 0. reminder of, i told stories this hour in georgia demonstrates,

has been processing for 6 nights outside the palm and into blue seats. they're angry about the government's decision to delay tulsa, and joining the european union for 4 years. in guys, a city a u. n. school and sports club sheltering hundreds of palestinians have been targeted in separate is where the air strikes multiple depths and injury spin reports. protesters trades unions and political opponents are calling for size because he is president of the design all be impeached after he imposed martial law insecure and lifted the decrees, hours later, when parliament voted to reject the move we're going to speak now, took over at kennedy's a professor of international relations at 1st national university is based in south carolina, but he's joining, he's not from the us state of ohio. thank you very much indeed for being with us. what does the meaning of rancho hold? do you think for you and the suck? you'll i think john will certainly be forced to resign in the next week. perhaps

too. i will be shocked if you can hold on. this is a enormous breach of south korea's constitutional democratic norm. software has been a democracy since 1987. there's only been nothing like this in south korea and history even when north korea has sailed, south korean targets and things like that. there's never been a declaration of martial law. and if he doesn't resign, he'll be impeached. i really, i just can't see him standing office. the mom we are explosion, response will be just enormous. i think the speed at which this decision was originally made to people by surprise. the speed of which it was done was equally amazing. yeah. talk to us about the kind of the context of this. why do you think that use that you'll may have felt that this was actually a good thing to do? yeah, i think that's actually one of the things that people are really kind of shocked about, right? i think this operating media still really grappling with this that, i mean, even is that a tough presidency at present here is that a difficult presidency?

and so far as the opposition party controls have the majority in the legislature and they have been fighting himself to, to nail someone excessively. to my mind, i think humans concerns are genuine that they've made it difficult for him to govern the most recently on the passage of the budget. and there been investigations into humans wife, which apparently has affected him quite deeply. he's actually quite sensitive on his point apparently, and some of his ministers and cabinet appointees. and the other uh point is and the bureaucracy event. so again, i think kind of hounded if you will, by the, by the legislature. but, you know, obviously this is, this is a vastly disproportionate response, but it looks, it looks like he's concerned, we're basically bureaucratic, which is kind of a shocking, shockingly sort of minor issue for which declare law martial law over. but it looks like that's what it was and what's your assessment of the position in the military and. ready and the reason i ask, as i've seen stories where the armies chief of staff in upon me, in accordance with military rule, had declared abandoned all political activities,

the imposition of military control on all news media and publications. but that were almost largely ignored. one would imagine, of course, that there are senior members of the military who have lived through the 1980s. i'm not aware of what happened, right. what's your assessment or for the military stands in this? yeah, i think there is going to be a lot of investigation of that, right, because we can't them are so long as the military is on board and least there was some of that. right. i mean, you can go on youtube and see softer and military hop helicopters, landing on the fields right next to the national assembly building. it's really kind of shocking to see that in korea. and it's not clear yet, you know, who is responsible and who you and thought he could rely on this. i will be pretty surprised if he hadn't at least contacted police and military at least at the higher level to see him or anybody would go along with this. but i mean, south tree is, is weird, right? because and stuff for his military is traditionally been pretty robustly under a civilian control. right?

i mean, what, so for example, 70 years ago i talked to him, present wasn't peach. then the military was never called out. there weren't rides in the streets, the police weren't like, you know, beating people up attractions. there wasn't any of that. i mean, we went through this a month impeachment process and then there was no street violence or anything like that at all. so it's kind of shocking, right? i would be surprised at this reach down deeply into the military, which i think is one of the reasons why it fell apart so fast. but it's really not clear yet just how deeply involved in this the military was. i want to ask you about the structure of the, the administration and the political party as well. i mean, use chief of staff and his chief secretary as well as upon the, the entire presidential secretary i have offered to resign. but what is interesting, why my colleagues was pointing this out to me earlier on was the timing of which they did that. they didn't do it after the initial call from martial law. they did it after the law for they they demand from martial law had been lifted. does not tell us anything about the feeling towards this decision within the political structure. and yeah, i again i, i would be surprised if you hadn't done at least

a little bit of preparation for this study and consulted of a few of the serve top members to have a sense that people would come along with this with him on this. but i mean, there is also sort of like circulating mountains of dreaminess, all these rumors that this wasn't possibly done that maybe you and had been drinking. right. i mean it's that, that this is starting to look like it was fantastically inept, right? i mean, he didn't seem to grasp, but the national suddenly, almost certainly wouldn't vote for this. and then what was he going to do? i'm usually not locked him up because the national, somebody's required validate the market a lot declaration, which is of course, what happened. they turned it down, but i again, i mean, i would imagine that some of these cabinet ministers, kind of cabinet officials were involved in because, i mean, you can't, you can't, we can't act on his own. so again, there's probably some kind of complicity, but that's gotta, that's gotta be investigated and it's gonna be huge. the guns versus me protests you'd probably have to resign 1st. that's where a lot of the, the focus of, of the i or will be in the coming weeks to get you in himself out of the office if he doesn't wait in the next few days, drop it off on us here. just very basic, isn't kind of watching the clock here but, and they,

in terms of how other countries are going to react to this. obviously, this is the factory or widely regarded as a stable allies of western governments. obviously there are, it's tensions with north korea, just very briefly talk to us about how se, north korea otherwise they're going to be reacting to this. yo, north koreans will definitely celebrate this as an example of how democracy doesn't work. right. i mean, every time you sort of bags the riots, for example, on a tight when he's permanent, the chinese boss and say, look, our system is superior, the north drains will do the same. i will be pretty amazed if the americans actually and, and south korea is out of democratic partners have gone along with anything remotely like a cool. that's one of the other things that kind of baffles me about this used i felt didn't do any kind of preparation at all. you know, because global opinion, liberal democratic opinion would have been just biting. right. what was it gonna do? i need to expect the americans to agree to this. right. and so i would imagine that's one of the reasons why it fell apart so quickly, right? you can imagine those empties were like, oh my god, we do this. all of our partners are going to ban on us. we're kind of on our own. so again, it just looks fantastically inept. and i hate to say that,

but it looks like this which has gotten thrown together in the last few days. and i haven't really thought this through because as you say, the, the liberal community of states in the world would, would almost certainly project this move. robert, we appreciate that. as always. thank you. robert county, thank you very much. indeed. robert, thank a vietnamese court upheld the death sentence of a 1000000000, a real estate icon behind the country's biggest case of bank fraud. strong. my line had appealed against the ruling but judges. they had crimes carried serious consequences and that they saw no reason to reduce or penalty for embezzlement and bribery. patrick falk, reports stone faced in silence from my land set awaiting the appeals court verdict on her death sentence. in april, she was found guilty of investing more than $12000000000.00 through psych on commercial bank, which illegally controlled through a network of ghost companies and associates. the 68 year old and big to vietnam's high court to spend her life. but judges rule, the scan of the crime was too big,

that it eroded people's trust funds. see my lamb is among the 10s of thousands who lost the savings in the scandal. a retired teacher, she said she was tricked into investing about $40000.00 into a legally issued funds with a capital one. the amount last wasn't much, but it represented a lifetime of savings. so it's been extremely difficult to try and still hasn't recruit the money. she'd hoped land would be spared the death penalty and would then repay her victims on the vietnam, a little land sentence could still be reduced to life in prison. and if she can much on 3 quarters of the embezzled assets. but it might mean out seeing others involved. ok, we'll get the loaner that i suspect there was collusion regulatory agencies, including inspectors from the state bank of vietnam and possibly other financial regulators. but no one spoke up. the case has been emblematic of vietnam's and see ground to drive the blazing furnace. it's med schools of high level officials and

business executives. the messages the of them's leadership will continue to cut the crack down on corruption. that message is old. the more significant because in reality, the opposite maybe happened. the experts say the campaign has hung vietnam's economy and blunted for an investment because of shake up some of the political leads when it could be making gains from the rivalry between the us and china. patrick folks, i'll just say are you what is a good kind? zillow has held an urgent meeting to discuss the situation in syria. the members howard's testimony from the humanitarian organization to sylvia in white helmets. a representative said the international community has for golf in the country. most of the shop is sort of the syrian people have appealed to you to take immediate action to end atrocities and ensure peace, which is a core responsibility for the council. however, in recent years, you have not only failed to heat these calls, but tragically,

many of your governments have chosen to forget the serial altogether. the international community has failed syria, politically on terms of humanitarian response. with syria was a testing ground for impunity and failure to hold perpetrators accountable has had catastrophic repercussions far beyond our borders. bullying perpetrators from ukraine to sedan to gaza. including president of letting me is that i'm just going is putting far more weapon reach urgently from western allies is as reinforcements of vital along the front line and eastern ukraine. russian forces have made gains in recent months. both for us and germany have already on board military 8 to keep this week totaling $1400000000.00 of the night scheme. significant reinforcements are needed in the doughnuts directions, and this includes arm supplies from our partners. it is a direct dependence. the greater our armies fire power is the more technological capabilities we have to more effectively, we can destroy rushes, offensive potential and protect our warriors lice,

calling us to find out what the intel in mexico 2 bodies have been discovered in the wreckage of a car explosion. in the stage of sinaloa, it comes as violence escalates between 2 main factions of the center. lower costs out, a powerful criminal group. hundreds of people have died since a power struggle broke out between the sides. in september, the rivalries taking a toll, the area, and especially the groups, unofficial capital, the city of co, your come, john, home and reports from mexico city. building 500 people have now been killed in a call to civil and send a low west of mexico. of 2, most 3 months of violence, there's no end in sight. the feuds between the families of parking guzman better known as a chapel. and these miles above the alias of miles, both men were leaders of the city of lower codes. so one of mexico's most powerful now they are in us prisons and the sons of bustling for control. it appears to be

to the death and not just.
