the forced of the south lebanon with this on just the opposite. the inside is in serious say, then now in full control of the city of that all, it's the 3rd main city to full the levels. just a couple of things. the other ones are enjoying this is obviously are nice and don't also coming up with isn't fighters and serial within striking distance of homes as a push to take the city. consider the gateway to the is ready for these palm beach to say about and we could do compton central guides, at least 10 people into the children about apology,

but no resignation. south korea's presidents address the nation for the 1st time since this attempt to impose most of the sewer and opposition fighters. now say they have taken control of the city of the after seizing, hama, until result, the government's now lost control of 3 of the countries. main cities and just a matter of days and fighters and now just a few kilometers away from the city of homes, while thousands are trying to escape from the homes. but they're also celebrations, some in the, some of the gathered in the streets to welcome opposition, forces, hunters known as the capital of the revolution against assad government. if again in 2011, the southern city of that is now the latest. but the opposition claims to have taken by does have been filled with the top of the stature of hafez assad inside pacific of the neighboring as the weight of providence men from the grooves

committed to join the fight against the side. i seized a number of ministry until these buildings listed as center, and it's around it. in the east report say us back to kurdish fighters have taken control of their result while government troops pull back to damascus. rifle stood up against coverage. now for me, the turkish border with syria a despite there is a positive rate and one of the latest speak to rings. after 6 years, the seat and a position forces are back in town of top visa, 25 kilometers south of how many residents are about coming down. they're heading towards to the us toward largest cities, homes. look, government forces had been born, been pages just stop. they added but failed to achieve that goal. the opposition fighters caused to be into town abreast on one of the governments

latest the past lines before homes. soon after there was abuse fighting on all scores of the city kinds location is crucial. if captured by the position is contracting the governments by the link between damascus and its cost of stronghold or from the attack. yeah, the government says it has withdrawn is forces from some cities because of tactical reasons. but the position believes the government cannot hold it's positions unhappy. all the truth is that the withdrawal of the criminal regime is nothing but a result of its inability, an eminent defeat at the hands of the revolutions heroes turned it strategy into a residing failure. it is become clear to everyone that the criminal regime has fallen and is now looking for an exit to positions. adkins to with homes, with him to go further south and eventually take control of the capital is undermining governments with towards the across the country. the city in armies for the division has withdrawn from the eastern city of data zoo living in the city and

strategic me that you're able to the courtesy of that city and democratic forces, or back by us. the government has also abundant the nearby become a border crossing with iraq into so the improvements of dera, the book, today's, or the anti government post. as that started in 2011, the physician has captured several government soldiers and sees tags. along with a few hours later the enter the city and said it was pre in a position so forth. there's also store and the government's tech points. so the board there force the neighboring jordan to close is for the with syria. the government's control is not being challenged only the north, eastern and so as improvements. this is where the record is. forces from remove the areas to the capital, damascus. the position says it's ultimate goal is to take over the capital and open a new chapter for syria. that's the set of which is 0, kid is solve them to to you. meanwhile,

they've been seems of celebration that how often the opposition offensive of the life is also told down to start to a former president. unless something by charlotte son's father was responsible for the master code of 1980 to the killed of 840000 people. but no commotion as a journalist who managed to gain access to how shortly after opposition fight is to control the sent us this report. we are here in the city of the city of alma and those gunshots. that right now are not gunshots. redeem this, you know, this is a very famous, nothing serious joy to celebrate the victory jobs. they have a residence of how much city and those who are displaced from uh how much uh

no, uh, gathering here and just where to document the historical moments as they describe of disjoint one of the picture of a shot, a sudden in uh how much square it is worth mentioning that how much participated in the 2011 uprising against this year in re g uh, this year and reggie laws, massive military operation against the city, detaining hundreds of, of uh and since civilians. and displacing a hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and according to civilians and people in this area, they sold the off position forces. we have been waiting for you for over 13 years, but now you are here and we are safe. no, no car mush from how most city, roger 0. opposition fine to is a freed inmate. some

a prison in us the way the in southern syria. some of them said that i'm present adjusted by charlotte. southridge is the i've been in prison for 7 years. they took me away from my son, may god take revenge on them. may god protect the resistance. we enjoyed humiliation in our own country. they sold the country to the russians in the radiance, but only the men of this nation will liberate that. the sense of gauze and i'll wait on his randy and strike us at a house ending to say about refugee camp. at least 10 people were killed, including several women and children searching palestinians were injured. taken to hospital, israel's ministry as almost as storm become a loud one. the hospital of one of the only remaining health facilities in the northern part of the strip at least 30 pallets to the

ends including medical stuff. patients were killed in the attacks in and around the barely functioning facility stuff and patients have been rounded up and detained once again. the facility has been targeted repeatedly during the course of the will . what area we spoke to dr. aid, somebody who's the director of nursing at the hospital, he explained i would hold on folded a dispute in term of the thought of the since the beginning of this attack. and since the beginning of this regression on the hospital of come a loud one in northern cause that has been on the attack from the is really military. what happened this morning is that is really tongues were approaching in a very fast manner as close as 50 meters to the hospital. the people that we didn't know was sent inside the hospital, wearing different uniforms and equipped with records and speakers. and they sent a message to dr. hudson boost of the indies colleagues,

and the occupation forces asked them to evacuate the hospitals, including patients and medical staff. they asked them to evacuate towards the tanks . shortly after they demanded the evacuation of all patients and the injured this operation led to the killing of the 2 people inside the hospital, including full staff members. they were targeted and killed for free. and the top 3 as president use of fuel as address the nation for the 1st time since has failed attempt to declare martial, he apologize and reassure the country, he would not make a 2nd declaration. but the lead of human zone party responded by saying the president's resignation is unavoidable to comes rest hours ahead of unexpected vote on his impeachment component. i mean, your fellow citizen, the room is that muscle low may be declared again. but let me say this clearly.

they will never be a 2nd because there is no muscle, no. regarding the civilization of a political situation, including the remainder of my term. i wouldn't trust this entirely partridge moving forward. did mister snuff? bates? affairs will be a shared responsibility between the party and the government. once again, i deeply apologize for the consent in distress. i have caused you a spring and robert kennedy is a professor of international relations that puts on national university. he's based in south korea, but joins us live now from the us state of ohio. robert, always good to have you with a some new comedy was of a brief speech from president you and he apologized. how surprised all you then? but he didn't resign and showed he didn't think you'd get away with this. yeah, i am actually, i am showing that he might be playing hard together for playing for time in order to reduce the possibility of gail time for example, which is something that has happened to previous out 3 ends. and what almost

certainly happened in this case because the fences of this present and far exceed anything that's preceded him. and i also think that, you know, he might be trying to is, or job to you this afternoon at this very moment to see if we can get enough photos to hold off. impeachment the actual boat is, i believe there in about 5 hours, right? 4 hours at the end of this afternoon and career time. and so if you, if present, you can find just a few more members of his party to stick with him, right? only 8 need to defect them, compete. so we can hold the party line, he can't drive and then isn't really clear what would happen. i on my own sense, as you probably be forced to resign because of the street protest. i think if he doesn't get impeached by down, i my sense is he probably point for time he wants to see the and when this volt later today. yeah, this interesting brotherhood of things moved very quickly against the president, particularly within its own policy. because right off that he gave that speech even vague, came out and said he needs to go. so what's really going on within the routing party rather. so yeah, i think you're trying to figure out. ready what post you landscape going to be that

will be like the previous there wasn't a patient once before in south korea 78 years ago that president was also a conservative and in the elections of follow the can service, were being pretty badly and you had a quite progressive, present, take over in the week of that and the fact at the time i remember this b, we're talking about this. conservative party might collapse entirely. and i think people on the right are probably worried about this. now they're trying to figure out how to map out the next few months so that maybe they can hang on and not face a realtor wipe out incoming elections. i would imagine that the left when an even bigger post impeachment election this time and last time because the defenses are more agree just so i imagine they were inside the conservative block. there's a lot of fighting about what exactly they have to do, should they try to push them out now by a resignation, talk to wash their hands and draw their distance. you know, on the other hand, they all stick together. if they just none of them, the fact that they can cancel via this piece for both. so i bet that's the fight inside the party and it's worth reminding up here as well. but the south korea was admitted few dictatorship,

up until 1987. many people remember that era. do you think that would have played into the broad public sentiment on the protest? we'd been saying when you initially declared marshall? yes, absolutely. i think that immediately brought back goes and shadow is what was in the past. i think that's the 1st thing i thought of. so it needs to is the 1st thing that so the koreans who am i know. so i live in korea. they also immediately thought of this, i'm actually rather shocked that use of you all who lived through that period you and such as 70. i believe. i'm rather shocked. he didn't think that this would provoke that because they did seems to that he didn't believe south koreans would hit the streets and sort of, you know, protest based. i'm generally kind of amazed. he thought he could get away with this . i mean, i still wish he would come forward to give us a better explanation of what happened this to the speech st. what's a chance to explain his rational i need the bad, so it's still kind of albany or like why exactly he did this as it points out, robot know, make as a set to vote on his impeachment like to today. how do you see that playing out on what should we be looking out for them? core issues. whether or not a conservative defectors, whether or not there will be

a conservative defectors will go over and help the progressive block get to the 2 thirds majority needed. there's $300.00 members of the national assembly. the constitution requires 2 thirds majority to meet the president. that's 200. there is a $192.00 opposition m. p 's. and so if you only need a conservative m p 's anterior discount factor question before i think that's what's going on right now inside the conservative block. literally, in real time, i think i have a big debates right now about whether or not they should give a free vote and allow people about their conscience and which case you and will probably lose or if they're going to vote as a block. because as you mentioned, i mean the conservative party's messaging in the last 2 days. i've been quite confused. if you look at the conservative presence out for you, it's all over the place to it's just not really clear. if the right know is suffering, right, knows how it wants to vote on this. i just don't think there's a clear line yet, but it can always good to get your thoughts and your knowledge is robot. thank you very much and you for talking to about a 0. thank you. thanks for having me. so let's also come here and i'll just say we're including police in georgia. i seems of

a falling across down to thousands of pro testers together for another law. demonstrations against the gulf, more not savings. the had a low, then let's have a look at the weather across north america and as a lingering cold. it sets in the course of much of canada and the northeast of the us. yes, that's thanks to an arctic loss that bought some intense snub across the great lakes and into new england, which has been enjoy to buy ski is in vermont. this more of that to come. we've got some blustery wins. some heavy snow set in thanks to another clip, a storm running its way on saturday, across from central to southern parts of canada across the great lakes. once again, it is going to remain very cold across the east coast of the us and most central

areas. but out west will, temperatures are continuing to sits above the average, lots of clear weather to be found for california west. so further north of this thanks to a weather system, pulling in across the west, in canada and the pacific northwest. and that's going to bring more snow to the rockies on sunday. the, for the south of this, we're seeing the development of some west to weather across the deep south bus of rain, stormy conditions here. and that seems to was a weather lingering across the northeast of mexico and look for the temperature down further in monterey mexico city will see the sunshine were above the average of 24 degrees on sunday. on the, in the solomon islands, the deadly legacy of world war 2, remain on the lounge. i just moved it and it exploded it now i do this, see they are literally this sense of taking time on this one. 0,

one east meets the solomon islands. some country escape of war that ended decades ago on, on the, investigating the use and abuse of power across the to on out, which is 0. the the welcome back to watching out as a right quick reminder about top stories here. this assuming opposition 5 to say they've taken control of the city of the, of the season coming up there. so the government's now lost control to 3 of the country's main cities. just a matter of the dates. opposition fighters also now on the outskirts of homes, that serious the biggest city that bounce around 40 kilometers is taking the city

of summer on thursday, which lies on the ropes, the capital investments. so i'm curious, president views are killed as address the nation for the 1st time since has failed attempts to play a motion to apologize and the rest of the country, he would not make a 2nd separation of mazda and when it comes to, how is the head of unexpected vote on his impeachment in comments on our top story on the rapid advance of syrian opposition troops, joshua land, this is from the university of oklahoma, and he says, defensive cruise spelled in a sounds government. many people have coming to the determination that this is the, these are the closing days of outsides. government. russia has already, you know, somebody close to the seat of power and russia has told bloomberg just recently that um is that there's really very little rush. i can do for us on if his army is not willing to fight. and we've seen so far that it has really just, it,

it's just melted away in front of these rebel forces. syrians don't want to die. so, for this regime, they're exhausted. the regime is done nothing for them. it can't get out of sanctions that can't figure out a way to to, to rebuild the country. and the future looks a grim for all syrians under this government way out into the future. so i think many are are resigning themselves to the fact that it's going to be change even though many particularly minorities in the allied minority in particular are very, very fearful. i know there's been a giant accidents from humps and other cities. people are going back to the coast land, al whites and christians and other minorities are fleeing in front of this rebel army. but many are jubilant. as you see in your videos and that are in areas in the south there, jordans border have begun to rise up because they don't want to be the last people rising up against the outside. and should, should the rebels take humps serious,

3rd largest city. it's on the road to damascus, the last pearl and this long pearls of cities before they get to damascus, that would cut the main highway that goes from damascus on the outskirts of homes, to tar two's and the coastal cities where the whites predominate. and that would, that would be a death. now, i believe, for the remaining possibility that the syrian army would consolidate his powers and make a stand. meanwhile, the us on canada urging that citizens to leave serial wall commercial options are still available and the white house here is just keeping an eye on the situation. so we're closely monitoring the situation. so the syria and have been in constant contact with the countries in the region and the n a c put out a statement just last weekend. the side regimes ongoing refusal to engage in the

political process outlined in u. n. s. c, r a 20 to 54, and it is real. it is in it's reliance on russia and a rod created the conditions now unfolding, including the collapse of a savaging lines in northwest syria. so the united states, together with, with its partners and allies, 1st the escalation protection of civilians and minority groups. and he's in a serious, incredible political process that can and the civil war once and for all of these dual con fred homes, during the civil war, back in 2014 and has since become a refugee, he says he hopes he can assume, go back to his home every saving, every single scene and you're going to see actually in your life he, he's only wished and dream is to go back home. there was nothing like home, there was no place like home. home is, is it still like leaving home? actually it's, it's one of the worst thing that happened to us because seeing how people have to

read us. and it is one of the worst things we can the nights today. and we can tonight, if people are still living and read one of the my uncle actually did. and is that, that he comes in and actually, and things in that and caps actually around german, 4 for 10 years. he's gets no nothing but the books caps, anything, anything can be better than that. and anything except the government is better than that. every cedar and today is planning already to go there and i think for us, for me, i will never of course, actually tonight or say it's, it's like we left here because we survived. there are people who died for us to survive. and this is very important to say today when i taught, when i talked about saving and when i, when i do activism, people should wonder like why, why would you do, why, you know, ways to talk about it, the living actually far away. you could have your life, you're working, you're living your life, somebody else. and it's not true. it's really not true. we spend most didn't hold all the bloods, all the people who sacrifice themselves and spend 2nd finding themselves actually today on the gates of house and the gates of california today. and the gates of,

of come up a few days before. i think all of us are planning already to go back to syria. we're already planning to take everything we have now to go back and bid a country that's actually give us dignity and at least respect us the to georgia. now where ryan police are once again using force against anti government, demonstrate his protest as have been in the streets of the capital to b. c. for 9th nights off the government put tools to join the you on hold for peace . for years, police use water cannon to a gas and made mass arrests from germany in poland to condemn the police response as disproportionate and joint statement. the european countries say they didn't consider taking action against george at the next you foreign affairs meeting. several physician politicians are among those who are interested. sure. the

purchase order 0 to meet you may have been in go, has moved now from a capital to b. c. reserves. once i get them filled with the fuse of here and this is night, number 9 in the middle of rest of any avenue in the center of the georgia and capital tbilisi protesters. thousands of them have gathered once again after 2 nights, a relative clause with no police operation. it's dear gas lying again and protesters, fireworks. now as you can see, the grabbing the most canisters without flying right around us. nothing them in water to neutralize their thoughts. this is very so by more experience colleagues have said 3 times more, not susan points, less than the one for example, used in the service has been class and

were police using those fireworks. they have limited access to the fireworks because wholesale operations dealing with fireworks tough in the past couple of days as well as supplies. we understand the importance of fireworks coming into the georgia and capital. now, because of this, the past 2 nights, i've been rather calm, but not tonight. tonight, police moved in with armor to move them with a large strong presence. right seals, as well as officers without any insignia. and we've seen them grand people as they moved on. pushing the crowd forward from the sides, people without any exec there would come in and grab people, throw them on the ground, give them a bit of a beating, and then take them away to training them. it's been a so a force between the 2 sides with protesters chanting,

sometimes even singing songs and of course preparing fireworks attacks. while the police were battering their shields, showing that they're still there and bringing in more alarm or trucks from behind. romania is constitutional code has a know the results of last week's presidential election. a fall right cabinet unexpectedly took the most folks in the 1st round with the 2nd round. do to be held on monday. but the quote says the process must not be restarted in its entirety because of alleged foreign interference. i somehow bought a report from a capital book arrest matic. sandra is a taxi drive, a long time supporter of the center, right? national, liberal biology. but that's not the case anymore. alexandra had decided to switch his vote to the ultra nationalist candidate college of jessica who surprised the nation when in the 1st round of the presidential election. i had the bible's, and then i last got a, a sense of right may

a and the outgoing prime minister. what is calling georgia school? i will vote for college will jessica, because i am tired of the corrupt system in romania. for the past 35 years, we've had the same people in power. they haven't done anything for the people over romania. i'm not expecting him to be the savior and the short time, but we've had enough of the system and the ruling policies. but now the run of won't happen in the last minute move. the country's constitutional court decided the vote was mog by it was a lie which is an old the election. the decision was criticized by both. so just go and let's go to i. so just a moment, what i'm kind of stopped working on, this is the moment when the romanian state tramples on democracy, goes choose the remaining people and the law will prevail. it's not about me, the economy is collapsing, you are destroying democracy. you are leading the country into anarchy. jessica was unknown to many before the election is ultra national. this message caused by the

end to war in ukraine. and his attacks on the political lead have resonated with money. florine is one of the un office who voted for the left all his life. now he's having 2nd thoughts. when you have quite a single in romania, we feel the fear, the to r as in the air. or that's what we will be pushed into a war against our will go just cool as a pro peace tons. i have a few issues with what he says, but his pro peace tense could be the reason why i'm a vote for him. the thoughts decision comes of the intelligence documents were declassified. they suggested pouring interference in the 1st round. the eu has also questioned the role of social media platform. take talk. now the elections with the will run with new dates, still to be set. it's so i need to tell what is the constitutional court decision.

we mean for romania in the future. but for now the routing quantity and it's the full to see a chance to stage to come back. why just those people feel when that was within reach has been taken away from them hush them on, but i was just the, the, the congress in a few as time voters will be able to stop costing that balance is gone, is general eviction on friday, the countries talk to presidential content is took a final opportunity to address this importance for my president, john muhammad is wanting to the national democratic congress. while the vice president, by motive, by with mia, is hoping to maintain his boss, his position in power between the 1st of june to lead it has dismissed the prime minister of the government's abraham and travel. or it hasn't yet made public a reason for the decision. he made the announcement on state tv on friday night. the prime minister has been in the postings 2222 in troy. he came to power and administered cube. a press service has been held in guinea for victims of

a stadium. stumpy that human rights groups estimate kills more than a 100 people communities. quoting for offices of to sunday nights, incident nicholas hawk ripples inside the emergency ward of this hospital deep and guineas, forest region survivors of last sundays football stadium. disaster are still in shock. trying to make sense of what happened was good on the saved or the prod west . carol, they will all over me, trumpeting my shoulder on my head. i'm honestly, i felt like i was, you know, what movie, that's what we're experiences at the stadium. she hover 20000 people, mostly families had packed into a tiny stadium in the town of ins. eric or a for the final of the doing be a cup, a turn of.
