11:04 am
parliament is now discussing the president's impeachment of time, the party 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. a 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 country is the president has to step down. immediate crisis may have been averted by the countries power struggle is far from over, you know, skin all to 0. so that's the case. what mcbride, he joints from the capital, so room we've had confirmation this morning. the opposition parties have now begun not processed in peace. the president, what else has happened? can you to control the lice developments?
11:05 am
that's right. i mean, the, the opposition groups now it seems to be intends on trying to push through this impeachment, but they've really got to crunch the numbers very carefully to bring a balance and impeachment, they need 2 thirds of the seats in the national assembly. and it said no way, the way clear at this moment that they have those numbers, but this motion has been signed by all 6 opposition parties led by the main opposition party, the democratic party. it has to be said that in the past couple of years also that they have been in opposition to the administration of units of guilt that they have been behind a number of other impeachment process. the adult of president used himself, but of president use some of the present use senior officials that in fact it's those impeachment news that has triggered this current crisis. so we'll see how this develops. but in the meantime, the same opposition groups are also a cooling for reason charges to be brought against the president. and meanwhile, his own party. of course, i'll split on just how to handle the,
11:06 am
the president and how they should go about and respond to this unprecedented move of bringing about martial law that have been caused by his own party members for the resignation of the entire cabinet, for example. but it does seem is always own potty is split on whether you should stay with the party or not. and of course the, the political groups that have all been responding as we've been going through wednesday. that is, this is a country with a very highly developed civil society, with lots of other opposition groups coming out protesting of what took place late last night. in right robin, i want to pick you up on that in a 2nd. but to let our audience know that the south koreans have a very large labor union day, the cold, and they've cooled for a general strike until the president resigns. they've accused you on the sick you'll of implementing and the rational and anti democratic measure. let's take a listen to what some of the members have been saying to queued up,
11:07 am
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, so there was no evidence threat of war. therefore, he clearly violated the constitution for the plumber. last night we won. it was our victory. i speak on behalf of all the farm is human, so kills regime is even more dangerous than climate change. we cannot turn a blind eye to present in you any longer. so world, how significant is this pressure from the trade unions? it is significant, but also of course you've got to look at the why the a south korean society. and they, the way that they have responded do seem to respond when the democratic institutions it seems on the threat. and this would be regarded as quoted to many as the most severe, the right to the liberal democracies of south korea. in nearly 50 years,
11:08 am
we saw that in the very early hours of wedding, the mazda lo was imposed last night, even as troops with being landed on the roof by helicopter of the national assembly building. we had citizens and lawmakers turning up, trying to get into that very national assembly building, even though they were told that they shouldn't do so. this is a place where i often the political disputes do spill out onto the streets with massive demonstrations of people. power, we have seen that with previous presidential administrations that have sat would that have gone wrong that it'd be coming broiled in scandal as this appears now to have done we hearing about possibly more, candidly, vigil starting, which is an echo of previous protest taking to the streets here remains to be seen how those develop a lot it seems to be said will depend upon use of kill. and just what he does now faced by these challenges. okay. many things so that role mcbride,
11:09 am
that for us in the capitol, sol as well. president, new and secure with a public prosecutor. i wanted to crack down on corruption. he's now of course, been course up and political scandals themselves in january, he's scrapped a bill that would have owed an investigation into his wife. she'd been accused of stone manipulation. in july, his wife was questioned, of accepting a luxury homes bike is a gift in violation of south korean, anti corruption laws. been in october local media, leak the phone call of the found that the polling agency, he boasted of his influence over the president's choice of candidates in by elections held in 2022 young sic phone is a political analyst and visiting professor a young c university he says south koreans no longer trusts the president. it was a very shocking development. people uh, was frustrating. what cussing and whether this was reacted because they just said
11:10 am
that the last time martin in law was declared was of 45 years ago. so most of the population do not experience the declaration of martial law in their own lives. but the situation does settled very peacefully and politically. you don't mean last day of 415 minutes a bit in the presence of emergency, you know, announcement and declaration of mazda in law, and the national assembly with the 9 and 192 members, voted in favor of the retraction. and ultimately, what the expiration and the 6 hours later the president's office decided to reject the decisions. so everything went back to normal. and about people, you know, obtain the very strong impression that it is to risk you to, to the present in the office. the guy seems like the president does not have the real sense of reality, totally disconnected with the rest of the society. and it is too risky to keep,

11:12 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 product line al jazeera at the state department, the signing to central golf. and now when is riley strike has hit a un run school in alvarez, refugee county pa, the study and medic was killed in the attack and several others have been injured. and these 1510, some schools courtyard were destroyed by fire,
