controlling media and threatening arrest without warrants doctors on strike were ordered to return to work within 48 hours. the politicians, including those from the president's own party, brought back in a late night emergency session of parliament, the citizens. it just leads risk to show the national assembly. it will stand with the people to defend democracy and see what's going on 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 country's authoritarian pass. the

parliament is now discussing the president's impeachment on sunday, when 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 disrupts 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. the immediate crisis may have been averted by the countries power struggle is far from over. you know skim, alda 0. so that's the case. we're up mcbride, he joins us from the capital sol wrong. so let me start with what's happening now in the capital. thousands of people have come together and what appears to be a candle lead vigil talk through what's happening. and

that's what i mean that uh, since this crisis verse began olmos now 24 hours ago. it was on tuesday evening that we had this controversial move, the imposition of muscle more attempted at least we have seen that barriers fontaine use protests happening around. so we saw that is that the national assembly, as soon as this was announced, people turning up the even as troops are being landed from helicopters on the roof, trying to enforce this martial law that no, we citizens lawmakers with signing up to protests that to try to smoke their attempts to impose this and we are seeing this again become a wednesday evening with that people coming out for a candlelight vigil. certainly. and one of the main downtown southwest here in so many people this will have echoes of previous protest south career, which you probably know has a very well developed, sweet protest culture of people come out and they practice the rights of free expression they liked to come out and protest for various courses when it comes to

what they see is an attack on their democratic institutions. they offset and they have a wanting to come out and protest against that. and so we, i've seen that in the past when administrations of a full and style of the people's wishes when they have become a bold and scandal. and it does seem as though we're seeing that the stats of, of that now with street protests coming out on this wednesday evenings just how they develop the remains to be seen. there remains a large part of what next steps will be taken by the b c's. president use of deal? well on that opposition, policies have begun the price. so 7, a 10 page, the president, what does that kinda involve? exactly. that's why they have begun. i basically looking and crunching the numbers, the opposition policies have banded together. the 6 main opposition policies that have that portfolio with this resolution calling for in peace months. it's led by democratic policies, estimates opposition uh,

policies they have to have 2 thirds of both of the a 7 maximal assembly seats for it to get anywhere. and it's not clear at the moment if they're going to get those kind of numbers. so we were waiting to see just how this proceeds, but the opposition policies for the past couple of years. they have been putting full with various attempts to the peach, but not necessarily of the president himself, but of some of his officials, which in fact has led to partly the crisis that we're now seeing unfolding on the attempted imposition of muscle. yesterday's buddies, as well as the opposition party calling for impeachment calling for you to be charged with. treason were also having various calls from his own party for the his cabinet to resign. whether or not you should be forced to quit his own party. so we are seeing this abroad and being pushed back against this attempt by you to impose

marshall load on. you lasted for a couple of hours a and the tuesday night before it was lifted. but certainly the repercussions from, but i'm going to be going on for many more hours, many more days to come. thank you for that. robin mcbride, the 1st and the capital sol as well. president eunice. lucky all was a public prosecutor who wanted to crack down on corruption, but he himself has been caught up in political scandals. in january, he scrapped a bill that would have ordered an investigation into his wife. she had been accused of stuck manipulation. in july, his wife was questioned, of accepting a luxury humbug as a gift in violation of south korean anti corruption laws. in october, local media, nick the phone, cool off the founder of opposing agency. he boasted of his influence over the president's choice of candidates and by elections back in 20. 22. you will shake. boeing is a political analyst and visiting professor at young c university, he says south koreans no longer trust the president. it was

a very shocking development. people uh was frustrating. well custody. and whether this was reacted because they just said 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 settle there peacefully and critically you'd only lasted. ready a 115 minutes, a bit in a presence of emergency, you know, announcements and declaration of modern law and the national assembly with the 9 a 192 members, a voted in favor of the big trucks. you know, the master looked expiration and the 6 hours later, the president's office decided to reject the decisions. so everything went back to normal people. so, you know, help team be a 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. i totally disconnected with the rest of the society. and it is too risky to keep you in the office because he turns out to be to officer then you're asking, living is in his own world, only focus on protecting his own people into. ready being his wife, 1st lady from scandals with south korea as a class regional ally of the united states, the white house has responded to the decision to lift loss and no saying we are relieved. president union has with us course to go ahead and, and 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 is 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. you're really watching to see how this played out a. but they also did 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, particularly al jazeera at the state department, the trying to central guns. and now when is rarely asked, strike has hit a you and run school in alvarez refugee come. apollo,

not just here, but also that southeast corner through to friday. the unique perspective we don't want ahead to well, but we no longer have any private spaces on the incident. that's a scary well on heard voices a year into this genocide, it still remains large. one section, connect with our community and tap into conversation. as you find elsewhere, but humanity, the number of people who want to stop sending weapons has gone up and up despite what they hear in the mainstream media in the united states. the stream on out just the or the

the watching out their minds at the top story is best alice. in the south korean capital, very testers have gathered to demand the resignation of president eunice appeals, civil society organizations and used labor unions have added the voices to the cool for him to leave off. i know position policies in south korea have submitted a motion to impeach the president. use the appeal has been on the growing pressure to resign. often abruptly imposing muscle relate on tuesday only to lift it out of space. and in central gulf is ready for this. have a time to you and run school and alvarez refugee camp. at least one person killed several others injured. when asked, strikes, hit tense, and the schools called the syrian government forces have launched accounts

in the vicinity is of hama is about to merely collapse. if everything goes like this, if the fence lines collapse as its collapse and all left so it will not be long that the syrian opposition may gain control of the city of palmer. on the other hand, another phone, the 3rd formed, was opened on tuesday and the eastern side of the resort. the syrian democratic forces, the umbrella group, led by the curtis rebels and slots, syria captured 7 villages at around they resort. and they are trying to stop the syrian government forces and this issue i back militias and moving it, moving to is to their own territory that on the other side, diploma suffers, continue about the battle. ground is very active. everything is fluids and concepts going on. in the past, we know slides, and by the ridge you minutes, allies see 9 for solar. elda 0 halted on 2 case serial border.

it's only around plus 2 degrees. the tension seems to be i really heating up. george's prime minister click of a, he's a, has accused opposition parties of trying to organize a revolution like ukraine's more than a decade ago in key. it's my done square. so the time to organize the my done jordan's already over what's called everybody. keep quiet. let's say and to keep peace in this country. so we are responsible for but i can assure everybody that there will be facing 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. so 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 playing. so is i go really upfront to get it to 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. hello job. well. 7 the size of the every night still 5 the the most my reason we do watch we try to really see is that a stalemate, the opposition once a new election, but the government says it will not negotiate. to meet him,

it didn't go out to 0 to police, see a native foreign ministers meeting, isn't it? the 2nd day of the alliance is headquarters and brussels on the agenda is military support for you. queens offensive against russia. nature chief monk, which i has urged allies to step up the ministry, aid to strengthen, keeps positions to the end to negotiations with most got over the end to the will. you claim reiterated at school for a full invitation to join nato. ahead of me thing present below him is it n. c is also pleading for move weaponry urgently from western allies. he says reinforcements, advice, all along the front line, an eastern new crane where russian forces have make gains in recent months. then the scheme, significant reinforcements are needed in the donuts 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,

defensive potential and protect our warriors lies on us to find out how i felt. and how is the defense and ministry on those piece. as nathan membership for ukraine will likely be determined by the stones of incoming us presidents like donald trump, for russia that i bring your, made the membership or has beam and is now totally unacceptable. and basically this call, whole conference began and is continuing because russia wants to prevent that. the russian official position is that the ukraine should be in the neutral country. this neutrality should be guaranteed put in to create a new constitution. and of course that's right. now i'm acceptable for ukraine, so russia would not accept that it would be a jet causes fairly, basically, a but so right most likely right now there will be no mutual membership for the, for your brain though they're asking for it. now everyone's going to be most likely

waiting walk. the actual position will be of the new america registration in the philippines coast guard as the keys in chinese vessels of aggressive actions in contested south china sea watches for sage, released by the philippines, shows one of its control ships being sprayed by a chinese vessels move to cannon for so keesing chinese ships of roaming and all the dangerous maneuvers on his case called says the philippine ships came dangerously close to its law enforcement saying that actions was in accordance with the no salacious flare up in the contested scamper. a show which both countries claim it and these quote has upheld the death sentence of ability and a real estate tycoon. behind the country's biggest bank fraud strong, my line has appealed against the ruling. don't just say head primes carry serious consequences. they also say they see no reason to reduce have penalty for

embezzlement and bribery. patrick felt reports stone faced in silence from my lance awaiting the appeals court verdict on her death sentence. in april, she was found guilty of investing more than $12000000000.00 through a side going 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 says she was tricked into investing about $40000.00 into illegally issued bones with a capital one. the amount loss wasn't much, but it represented a lifetime of savings. so its 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 is little land sentence could still be reduced to life in prison. and if she can, what's on 3 quarters of the embezzled assets to but it might mean i don't think of as involved. okay. we'll get loaded here 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 anti ground to drive the blazing furnace. it's near the schools of high level officials and business executives. the messages the of them's leadership will continue to crack down on corruption. that message is older, more significant because in reality, the opposite maybe happened. experts say that campaign has home 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 fox,
