7:02 am
staff and several topics have now offered quite a decree head bands, political activities, and put the media under the president's control, while the president's announcement late tuesday night was immediately matched by protest, eunice came forwards 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 j. u. after the national assemblies demand to leave, marshall marshal. a troops have been withdrawn. i will accept the national assemblies demand and lift muscle through a cabinet meeting to show how the president had decided to call out the military just hours earlier, accusing the main opposition party of sympathizing with north korea and anti state activities. the sweeping restrictions included banning political activities,
7:03 am
controlling media and threatening arrests 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. citizenship is leis, risk to show the national assembly will stand with the people to defend democracy with what a 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 countries authoritarian past. the parliament is now discussing the president's impeachment of sunday when the party
7:04 am
leader of the democratic party, looking at the president's 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 windows, 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 immediate crisis may have been averted by the country's power struggle is far from over. you know, skin all to 0. so and you, this is joining us, not this so much happening so quickly now we have caused for the, the, um, the 2 step done facing charges of trees and impeachment. where do we go from here? yeah, that's a great question robin. i think that is something that the political parties are
7:05 am
considering very seriously this morning or day after. now, we, as you noted, have heard from a political party as both they may not position and the president's party, the people of power a party. and as he said, the democratic party plans to file treason charges against president is how you are . but also the defense minister and the interior minister of south korea pushing for their impeachment. and they are also urging an immediate investigation to into those who are responsible. now, the president by law is generally protected, but if he is accused of pre treason, that is the one that pathway that could, i'd take it to the opening of a case toward impeachment, but that would require a 2 3rd support of the national assembly. the problem,
7:06 am
it is held by the majority of opposition and democratic party, but they would need at least 9 lawmakers from the president's party to have 200 votes and support. so that is probably one of the things that the opposition party is as gauging in terms of whether they have that support to, to move forward with that impeachment notion. meanwhile, the ruling party of people power party has also convened a meeting today and considered 3 options. 2 of them they have decided to move forward with that is calling for the dismissal of the defense minister and also for the president's cabinet to resign and mass. this is a symbolic move in south korean context of government officials taking responsibility for something that is viewed as, as wrong doing. but the 3rd option, it was also to call on president is how got to step aside as a member of the people power party. that is something that has not been decided yet
7:07 am
. and we could hear more about that in the coming hours and what and stay with me is because i want to ask is we've been hearing from unions earlier on south korea's largest labor union is called the general strikes until the president resigns, is accusing you and albany a rational and anti democratic measure to the prosecutor should arrest president, charges of treason. the president does not have an unity against reason. there was no reason for him to impose martial law. 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 june, so gills regime is even more dangerous than climate change. we cannot turn a blind eye to present in you any longer. eunice checking is have a huge number of members to tie a significant role in south korean society when it comes to process like those,
7:08 am
how much power do they have to impact it along with, of course, all the other sides, koreans have been showing up to protest that's right, this is one of the 1st organize in mass. i think reactions that we are seeing from specific groups of, of citizen re and, and the casey to you is the largest umbrella group of multiple smaller labor unions . and in fact, they are viewed as being a very radical vice, so i'm in the conservative wing. certainly they probably felt personally attacked when the president's last night in calling for that martial law had cited a pro north korean forces being, you know, threatening the, the liberal democracy of south korea. they probably felt that they were being attacked personally. there is this,
7:09 am
those statements are saying that we have have one, there has been a tension between the labor unions and the you and government in the 2 and a half year term that he halfway term that he is in the presidential seat as well. so. so we'll have to see, i mean it's, it's tens of thousands of, of citizenry, but it will take more than that. i suppose, in order for it this impeachment idea to really take a flight. you just came in. so eunice, thank you very much indeed. as well. years ago it was a public prosecutor who time pains on cracking down and corruption. he's been martin political scandal as himself in january, he's scrapped a bill that would have ordered an investigation into his wife. she been accused of stuck manipulation. in july, his wife was questioned over at accepting a d r hunt bag as a gift in violation of south korean,
7:10 am
anti corruption laws. and in a tobar local media elite the phone call of a founder of a paulding agency, whose boasting of his influence over the president's choice of candidate and by elections held in 2022. robert kennedy supervisor of international relations at 1st national university. he says, president, june is very unlikely to keep his job. i think john will certainly be forced to resign in the next week. perhaps too. i will be shocked if he can hold on. this is a enormous breach of south 3 is constitutional democratic norm software has been a democracy since 1987. there's only been nothing like this in south korean history, even when north korea has sailed south tree and targets and things like that. there's never been a declaration of martial law. if he doesn't resign, he'll be impeached. i really, i just can't see him sting office. the popular explosion response will be just enormous. i think, i mean unit at a top presidency and present here is that
7:11 am
a difficult presidency? and so far as the opposition party controls has the majority in the legislature and they have been fighting himself to to nail somewhat excessively. to my mind, i think humans concerns are genuine that they've made it difficult for him to govern. most recently, on the passage of the budget and there been investigations into use wife, which apparently has affected him quite deeply. he's actually quite sensitive on his point apparently, and some of his ministers cabinet appointees. and the other of we do using the bureaucracy event. so again, i've been 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 concerns were basically bureaucratic, which is kind of a shocking, shockingly, sort of minor issue, protest declare a lot martial law over, but it looks like that's what it was. and i would imagine that some of these cabinet ministers, kind of cabinet officials were involved in because, i mean, you can't, you can, we can't act on his own. so again, there's probably some kind of complicity, but that's gotta,
7:12 am
that's gotta be investigating. 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 a buyer will be in the coming weeks is to get you in himself out of the office. if he doesn't wait in the next few days, also outcomes here is a close original ally of the united states. the white house has responded to the decision to lift martial law, saying, quote, we are relieved, president june has reversed course. patrick, go ahead and has more reactions from washington dc. so 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 brief down it as well as secretary state entity blinking we heard from his deputy secretary state kirk campbell. he says 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
7:13 am
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 of, 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 pedagogy. elda 0 at the state department. on the side of things, coast guard is accusing chinese vessels of aggressive actions and contested south china sea waters for he's released by the philippines shows his patrol ship being sprayed by the water cannon of a chinese vessel is also accuse chinese ships of rhyming and other dangerous maneuvers, china's coast guard says the philippine ships came dangerously close to his law enforcement saying that actions why are in accordance with the law installations flared up, contested in scotland show,
7:14 am
which both countries claimed to georgia. now for demonstrate, as have been protesting in the capital publicity for a 6 night, the angry about the government's decision to delay talks on joining the european union. the opposition also accuses the ruling georgia dream party of a rigging october's election. the mutual member duncan has this report from the process into policing nighttime instability has become anything but quiet protest as governor near the parliament building over the government's decision to freeze b. u membership talks. it's been almost a week of the protest might lead process in sibley. see people are still getting dallas by water it up. despite the near freezing temperatures, it's only around plus 2 degrees, but tension seems to be really heating up george's prime minister, clickable. he's a, has accused opposition parties of trying to organize a revolution like ukraine's more than
7:15 am
a decade ago and keeps my done square. so the time to organize the, my done george's already over what's called everybody, to keep quiet, let's say, and to keep peace. and this kind of thing, so we are responsible for the kind of showed everybody that there will be peace 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. of the classes happen in waves with protest as shooting fireworks and retreating when police 5 t a gas we are in the, 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
7:16 am
a way to neutralize the gas by dropping it into cans of water can trying to catch them flying. so is i go really up front to get it to you, i guess caps of 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. hello job. well, besides this, every night till 5 the the most my reason for all of us we do want to really see is that a stalemate, the opposition once a new election, but the government says it will not negotiate. to meet you, maybe they go out to 0 police the still ahead and all. does it offices in sizes of funds in syria as government jets and russian war plains intensify?
