clashed with protesters off of the government, announced it was suspending negotiations to join the here opinion. government and announcement followed the resolution adopted by the european parliament rejecting the results of george's election last month, alleging significant irregularities. george's prime minister accused the use of black mile demonstrators assembled outside george's parliament building in tbilisi, as well as the governing parties. headquarters protests were also reported to north or george and cities, georgia, seeing several anti government protest this year. but they grew following an election in october. the opposition changed the criminal and it appeared in the campaign in favor of the governing georgia dream party. critics say it has been moving georgia in the north are tearing direction for months, but the thursday marked a watershed moment. i. i'm very

devastated because we were not expecting this things to go so soon and for the government to make the statements that they said today. and i think that this makes us feel very hopeless. but at the same time, i think that we're becoming stronger because of that sort of send you this. what sparked the protest was an announcement by george's prime minister. so he said he was suspending the bid to join to you on the grounds that brussels had disrespected george and values thomas for. let's move amelia. it is categorically unacceptable for us to view you integration as an active charity that the european union must ground to us separately. they are asking from georgia not reforms. so this is not the steps that would mean the rejection of our dignity. most business outside parliament, thorough barricades to prevent protesters from gaining entry. opinion polls indicate the vast majority of georgia and still want to join the b. u and georgia.

among many george's so it depends whether the opposition on the president, on pseudo society groups and the protesters will be able to pressure the government small to challenge those election results on to, you know, to quote for new elections, which at this point seems a bit unrealistic. if we look at the stance of the government, besides that, they will a fair and square that. the victory is on contestable scott was the deputies, maria, cut them out into blue sea there. hello, psyche choice between israel and has belies entering its the day people in the 1000 . so i still pertaining to the homes in southern lebanon, new images revealing the extent of the destruction from the is rarely bombardments like it. and the city of time is roused. military says any violation of the $65.00 will be met with force. people levels have been morning at a mass graves me a time when it doesn't skilled in is riley is trucks with their

a list emergency nationwide palka has left hundreds of thousands without electricity or money is constitutional, quoted sort of a breakout of the ballots in the 1st round of the presidential elections last week the vote resulted in a surprising lead for the 5 right candidate kelly and joe. jessica is now set to face centrist, elena les coney and a run off next week. theory and rebels including to have his fathers and the allies have cut off a k hallway between damascus and deliver this happened during and offensive against the syrian army positions that so dozens killed. the rep is launched a surprise attack on government held areas of northern the lip of province on wednesday. scientist in the united kingdom has come up with a new aspect, treatment by side will revolutionize patients' lives. the injection refreshes pots of the immune system that go into overdrive during and ask for attack. that's the

1st major advance and asthma therapy in fifty's. the columbia navy has seized more than 1400 tons of narcotics in a multi national operation off to uncovering a new cross pacific trafficking birds. the whole includes code came marijuana and methamphetamines. and then they seized vessels, used by the drug traffic is with 6 semi sigma symbols intercepted in the pacific ocean. the vessels were carrying 5 tons of cocaine testing for these driving black markets. international operation to catch traffic is included the united states, spain, and 60 other countries. speaking to the press at the columbia naval officer, a columbia naval officer, describe the scale of the drug, sage goodness, as it goes to the seas, this has impacted the finance of transmission to the crime organizations preventing them from receiving $8.00 trillion dollars. be joining,

we also manage to prevent the potential of production of 29 tons of cocaine by destroying 475 laboratories. what was your thought that the single our thought is on? generalist richard mccully in bogota tells me more about the operation. but thank you very much. 2 like you said, 62 nations involved in this naval operation. it has to be an offer. it's called operation. a ryan. it has been in existence since 2017 and has been continually growing these operations of 6 weeks and left the captions have right lead to full 100 or rest 6 uh submarines or sets of muscles capture that huge hole of cocaine and other drugs. and of course it's, it's really so relevant in that, in such any passive intelligence sharing network coming together from a lease on the armed forces from all over the world. which is,

do we know how far he's well able to pull off such a method of operation? well, it's been over time. i may have obviously brought a non state doctors as well. the royal institute has been in that they've been mapping where they capture naco solves or send me some muscles before they be mastering. why that going. and what has been very, very evident, because obviously these, these vehicles, they sent me some possible don't travel on the routine, the police areas, they go through areas of the ocean that are not in mainstream shipping routes. so i would say foss areas to cover us overtime having matched the roots of these uh, these uh, weather quotes, these uh, sub possibles. and so like being able to put together a rates or plan of action and of course, infiltrate groups across the region to find out how this is happening, where it's going on. and obviously how to capture it. it looks like the drug gigs

involved. and richard were using drugs and small submarines to, to smuggle the drugs. it makes the question, how sophisticated they smugglers getting well, that's what somebody. yes. and i know honestly this 1 may help become more sophisticated in the engineering. and then the building of these. busy piece of muscle goes previously to some use of muscles without any be able to say a website just below the surface and it would just be a tube pointing out of the oxygen. and of course, the, a gasoline or diesel would blow out the backend and they would hook the coastline, going north up to central america, where the drugs would then be offloaded and to sort of unbox to areas or onto the boats and phosphates. but what we see now, of course, is the boats of bigger se, uh, have a crew of around 3. there's usually an engineer, a captain and verify from the cops out to make sure that the drugs actually make

their destination. and of course they, they do have g p s, they still stay early, just fill. busy the surface, but they are able to travel up to 10000 miles without refueling. but at the same time, there are other elements that have come in to allow this level of co operation between different criminal groups. let's say it's a reorganized crime if you like. since 2016, that's been a fragmentation of the drug stripe. i'm groups based in different countries, ecuador, peru, only the columbia and mexico have worked together on different segments of the transportation and facilitation of the movement of drugs. generalist richard mccall in bogota. thank so much. i now have you ever trained to visiting green lands pristine fjords now it's easier than ever. as the island is open,
