this would be a solution from the protesters side, but if you look at that reality, at the moment it's been over, water been charge before it was a little castillo. and there was so much unrest in the last few years, emperor, politically, that instability maybe is difficult to achieve. and these next weeks as a solution for now, protest to say they will stay as long as it meets and progress as long as she is that a lot of the resides by what happens after if she would do resigned, is a bit uncertain at the moment and nobody can really predict if these protest then will actually stop. thanks to co nicole reese in lima. let's have a look now. it's so a mother stories making headlines around the world. dozens of homes have been consumed by flames in the south korean capital sol, around 500 people have been evacuated with almost 300 firefighters deployed to deal

this. i think the answer all your questions is, what's in joel shoulder? is it a rock or is it a boat? i can actually show that you i suspected somebody put alive round no and that he says the gun never should have been loaded with alive round and that he was told it was safe to use. it's a point. baldwin insist clears him of wrongdoing. but prosecutors disagree. the actor and the films amara honda gutierrez reed, are facing 2 counts of involuntary manslaughter. we need more units on criminal defense attorney. rachel, vice is connected with the case that says the charges aren't about intense the charges all relate to negligence. nothing intentional. there they are not trying to show that any part of this wasn't accidental. they were just trying to

statement. however, an attorney that represents alec baldwin did release his statement saying that this decision distorts helene hutchins tragic death and represents a terrible miscarriage of justice. mister baldwin had no reason to believe there was a lie bull in the gun or anywhere on the movie sets about in far what part of the statement that was released on behalf of alan ball. is he looking at jail time if convicted? yes, it's very, very interesting that you mentioned it because i was looking up to see, you know, what does this, these count, you know how, what gel time couldn't get. we'll remember he's been charged with 2 different types of involuntary manslaughter. the 1st type would only give you 18 months behind bars . the 2nd type carries a mandatory sentence of by years behind bars. and there really has not been any word from his camp as to whether or not or plead guilty or take some sort of plea

deal, which might get him off the hook from cellar, from having any type of deal time. and just having probation, i will still have to wait for that that the shooting has focused attention on film production, safety. what repercussions have there been for the industry? it's fun, you should mention it. you know, there is a state senator here in california. it's already set to introduce a safety bill. basically there were require tupper standards on movies that i think you tried to introduce it at some point last year. it didn't go through, but now the alec baldwin and the armor on the said had been charge was involuntary manslaughter. he feels this the state senator here in california. they didn't have a better chance of being passed here and that they're just meant needs to be many more safety precautions to make sure that this hasn't happened. because remember this all happened because there were live rounds of ammunition mixed with dummy, right?

and there should have never been live right on the set at all. and one thing to mention is that even though these 2 people, alec ball in the armor have been charge, we still don't know how the live rounds got to set. we know what company were supposed to deliver the round, and we don't know if that company had anything to do with a mistakenly delivering live rounds to the same certainly a terrible tragedy. thanks. k, j entertainment journalist, k. j matthews, in los angeles. all right, you are up to next coming up next he w business with steven beardsley, take care. ah a lead of contrast with quality certainly 5 years ago mahatma gandhi peacefully led the country to independence.
