the, the business they don't need here as life goes by, live in south korea as president drops his plan to impose marshall. so the do. and so he all sudden change of how it came after protest to surrounded the parliament building and low mike because of voted against him. the prizes, incidentally essential quays through the nation with an unannounced late 19th. the address also on the program. your trade renews. it's called for full data membership is the only effective security guarantee in the face of russian aggression. the nature of foreign ministers meeting in brussels, say this thing,

but remain unmoved and is the risk of rebels tab down the stature of the brother of serious present pressure. i'll us side as they continue to advance in the countries northwest syria. now before us is are expected to launch at congress, the phil guy, and welcome to the program. we're beginning south korea web presence in june. so k o now says he will lift marshall low just hours after declaring it. he said he would respect a vote by parliament calling on him to withdraw the measure drive. it's got it outside the national assembly building all night in a position to his original declaration made light on tuesday. troops was sent to the parliament building at one point in full stairway in but have said,

spring withdrawal. jim, the stuff i've been that credit is that in the south korean capital. so welcome a 5 year quite a night for south korea just to walk us through what happened so yeah, really a turbulent night and now it's 5 am local time. so what has happened in the evening or the late evening president of june? so if your basic key to clear emergency martial law now it's just for context during the military dictatorship in the south square during the sixties and seventies, the even early eighty's. this was quite common and it was always justified with the threat of north korea. but since the south korea health its 1st democratic elections in 1987, there was no and martial law episode. this is really an unprecedented experience. and also very surprising. nobody really saw it coming and presidency until joy

basically said that needs to protect the constitutional order. he needs to protect the freedom. and he accused the opposition to the left leaning opposition of being the pro north korean. and here, um, you know what to, to eradicate pro norfolk reinforces, i'm quoting him here now. and then there were a lot of demonstrations gathering in front of the software in parliament, the not national assembly. and they demanded an impeachment, impeachment of president himself, your demanding him to step down. and inside the parliament, the members of the parliament broke gathering. but actually the exit and entry was blocked by security forces. i mean, i just came from the parliament and there were quite a lot of police forces. i didn't see military with my own eyes, but apparently at some point there was also been a 3. but, and actually the situation, what was not as tents as you might expect. it was small scuffles between demonstrators and police, but actually nothing too big, i would say. anyway,

now the final um, or at least for now the final to unplug point that i'm presently doing. so if your now says after a vote by parliamentary and said he would respect this vote to basically refrain from the master law and that he listed, he hasn't done so yet, but he said he will list it. okay, so as everyone gone home is this, whatever it was, if it's over now, or what i wouldn't call it to get over, but at least the desk know an open path or possibility for a peaceful solution of this crisis. i mean, look, i mean, for some of the german embassy has sent out a notice that you know, the capital refrain from going to a political place just because the security system situation is tense. i would say now probably the protest us at least half a chief what they demand it's, and i think they are still people there and also actually quite cheerful. and the

demonstrators in front of the parliamentary building. because i think one of the goal is that the president will step down, and i mean, he has not the said so, but i mean, many experts tell me that what a president doing so good has done by declaring mazda a lot is basically a political suicide. i don't see any highway how he could politically survive this, this fiasco because i mean this was really a radical step. and let me maybe also explain because from the outside it might look that maybe north gravel exploit the situation or that this really except for a form of collusion between the south korean, a position in north korea. but then president, june. so if you're it has not delivered any evidence. i think it was really a very wake criticism against the opposition. so this is really important to keep in mind. okay, so political suicide, you'll probably step down, but people are going to ask, well, what was the thinking of what was behind this,

this, this radical step as, as you call that? so yeah, of course i have to speculate that little bit. but because he didn't provide any concrete evidence to his claims, i think many of the of us are arguing that it was also domestically um, motivated. let me explain this presidency. and so, you know, it was really suffering from extremely low popularity. i mean, his rates were, have very, very low, and he had some scandals, domestic scandals, one also revolving around his wife and there was some corruption allegations and so on. so apparently he must have thought that, you know, he could survive this, this mission by declaring a martial law and that maybe this would also district attention to this. i mean, just speculation, but i mean, it would provide at least some form of explanation. and yeah, again, i'm speculating here for me and this looks as he but not to politically survive

this i'm at the next days. but i mean, again, this is only my stipulation muscle usually involves the military. i'm with a, with a i was on the streets while all this was going on and whose side with i on, if i can put it that way or what i mean, this is really i have to say to, at least with my own eyes, i didn't see the military, i only see a saw a heavy police presence and also plainclothes police officers. but apparently, according to news reports, at some point, the ministry was also present around the um, panama, to rebuilding. but i mean, they remain calm. they were peaceful, so to speak. they did not escalate so i mean, they didn't need to be on either side, but at least from my impression a lot of the riot police, those, the young south korean men are just doing their military service. i mean, i couldn't imagine that they would be um yeah,

if it would really have been escalating that they would, would have been basically forced to go against the own people. i mean, this would be hard to imagine. um, but thank god it, it really state, relatively calm then no casualties in this situation was really not as intense as you might have fixed a unusual time was and we're thank you for the 1st speculating based on your knowledge of, of what's going on there. we have an unpopular president who is probably going to step down. if that happens, what happens next other likely to be an election. so what does a, does his deputy take over? what do you think i or what i mean uh, based on previous experience. we know that um the former former president also the conservative president tucked in here. she was basically or was forced to step down . she was impeached. and after a lot of demonstrations, i mean basically for months and months every saturday they were big anti government

demonstrations. and actually this is something that i would also like to add to the situation right now in the last 2 weeks, every set a date, those anti government demonstrations have again started to emerge. not in very huge numbers, but they were building up and that maybe was also an incentive for president june. so your to make this ready could move because he saw what was coming. i mean, they were already a lot of calls within the people within the population and demanding impeachment of presidency. and so your, i mean, that was always a scenario that could have happened that, you know, and really an anti government movement would fall within the population. so in the menu scenarios, but i mean, i'm speculating. yeah, i would guess that there will be a at least some elections in the not too distant future. okay, thank you. 5, you're probably in touch with and so on. the turbulent a few hours. thank nato secretary general has always been

besides to increase our military support for you crime. but brutus call okay, after you try and pushed for progress on joining the alliance. there's a foreign minister as a meeting to discuss continued support for keeping his defense against most goes invasion. as if a lot of them is the landscape suggested that he might like green to a cease fire with russia. if nato extends its protection to the parts of the country that remain under tedious control. nature has so far the clients to say when or indeed how it will offer ukraine membership. that's because it concerns that face could be that it could be drawn into direct conflict with russia across the board. but the next few months of the war would be decisive. your plane is entering a nother crucial and scriptures aggression shows no sign of abating. just the opposite. voting is ramping up his rhetoric and reckless actions. he is using

ukraine as a testing ground for expert mental mishaps and is deploying north korean soldiers in this illegal work. bolton is not interested in peace. he's pressing on trying to take more tactic, because he thinks he can break ukraine's results and hours. but he's wrong to grade his rights to defend itself, and we have a duty to help them. so we need to continue our steps fast support. well, i'll respond to teddy showed fist fight in those talks in brussels. and i print to have that even though they total looks, they tell them into um, you try and not determination seems to stop short of allowing it to actually joining the alliance as well. you know, those are 2 very different things because arm shipments come from countries themselves, nato doesn't have any weapons. so when mark router is encouraging more military

support for ukraine, he's actually asking the governments to look into their stock piles, to buy more weapons for ukraine. but he can't actually make that promise on behalf of all the allies. now, when it comes to membership, that is something that all nato allies have to agree. you have to have consensus among all the 32 countries, or you can't alter the membership and that's very unlikely to happen here at this meeting. there are discussions about it. the foreign ministers will be talking amongst themselves, but you know, they're simply, everybody is not on the same page. they simply cannot make that promise to ukraine at this point. because it shows well the only friends in the room about native me thing is us president elect donald trump, who has repeatedly threatened to withdraw his country from the lines and to not defend member states if they're attacked. is a brussels bureau chief, alexandra from nomine on the us is crucial role within the lines of fleet. though few as 4 ships a potent symbol of american military power,

where the seat in the air for a land, for the last 75 years need to allies have been able to count on for you as support . but what if those days are over jimmy sheet form i need to official as well. the pessimistic is the leader of the labs and the key provide ols by kind of older and infrastructure drug sale, but is a totally different kettle of fish. and i think that would be, it would be very difficult for nato to survive without the united states. it could live palm for a period of time, but no doubt, a new structure with needs to be crated. it seems unlikely. donalds, trump would pull out from the alliance altogether, after all, he would needs do us congress to sign off on such a decision. but during his 1st tom and the white house, trump didn't hide to scorn for nato and experts say there are many ways in which he could, we can it, he could start pulling q as troops out of europe or still providing equipment that

is needed there. think about command and control functions. think about the satellite, imaginary. think about strategic air lifting. these are all things where you're up for really depends on the americans to adapt. we will be a problem. critics say you opinions have become complacence relying on you ask protection. but in the last few years, they actually have stepped up their game with $23.00 out of $32.00 natal members, no spending at least 2 percent of the ttp on defense syrup. it's also ramping up it's arms and ammunition production, but it's defense. industry is still very much friend, meant it. whereas the united states provides its troops with a largely unified sets of equipment that you are p and have a vast variety of, of them incompatible weapon systems. so is america was to reduce its roles, financing, and equipment. would those be problems for nato? but the biggest risk is, don't know, sums continues questioning of nato's mutual defense clause. by making that

distinction between elyse that he is ready to defend an elyse that he is not ready to defend from undermines the unconditional nature of the alliance is solid. dara t experts tell us that if that continues russia might consider the nature is no longer a functioning alliance and starts to challenge it directly. this is the worst case scenario for many in europe who the fear that if you creating falls, nato countries in eastern europe could be next. but with the new you asset ministration, really let that happen. europe at the war is bad for business. so before you can actually shift your resources away from europe, you need this to be stable, there needs to be peace. so your best hope is that instead of disengaging from the continent, the new you acid ministration might feel it needs to fix the security situation. the 1st before it can focus on the bigger challenge and trumps mind,

which is asia and china in particular. let's take a look at some more of the storage making headlines around the well will starting georgia riley countries. catherine quote, was rejected and challenged to the over election. the outgoing president filed the lawsuit, seeking to have the problem in chico to decline, unconstitutional, and the rules and comes after a 5th nights and protests passed by the government's decision to pull successions. thoughts with you, we're seeing you. a joe buttons met with who's on golden counterpart to shower laurenne co and accomplish so. a new and us presidents on a 3 day visit to discuss a major rail. connie tow intended to showcase us investment on the accounts of china's influence on the african continent, as in their unco described by them, visits as a key turning point in us on gold relations. is i see a course in vietnam house of how the death penalty in the countries largest 4th

case. real estate type could not too long my lawn has appealed to april conviction, which held responsible for embezzlement and bribery and upfront full screen golden rule. that's a execution couldn't be replaced with a less of penalty if she pays around $11000000000.00 in last. that's a syria. well positioned activist site insurgents pushing it hasn't been better offensive against government forces, capturing more towns and closing in on the city of honda state troops saying they've re taken some territory last and last week. surprise attack when the alliance of rebel groups a took the country, 2nd city i left you and says nearly 50000 people have been deployed, displaced by the length of spike in a sign of disdain. for the regime of sculpture of president bush, char ellison's late brother is toppled by protesters and ellipse out a serious 2nd largest city and several surrounding areas are now under rebel

control. after a surprise offensive land by the islamist rebel group, higher terrier alshaun or h t s, as well as opposition fighters back by turkey. this footage filmed by the militants shows them entering was believed to be president assad's palace in a level. and insurgents were also seen at the cities international airport, which they claimed to have seized with almost no opposition from government forces . as rebel groups intensifying the result, thousands of civilians are fleeing the fighting in a level and other areas in the north. getting to safety is a challenge. my thought is he had the number to call me, but you don't know who anybody is. you might find isis selves on the road. there could be shooting because the syrian army are no longer deployed here. these are the risks we may face. the syrian army is trying to break the insurgents momentum

with support from russian war plains and its allies among iran, back militias. but with a run in moscow mired and their own conflicts, president assad may not be able to depend on as much support from them as he would like. for peace below, she is an associate professor and research director of the university of deal. but he specializes in the geo politics of the middle east. i asked him why he thought this offensive would go now. i guess the, the, the graduation is going to come up and the, but i know that's me a for levy taking as a see to you of the resume because the china only is not able to uh, to put things as you t and to fix the intelligence from everything we know when to, to create a funk line is between homes and how not it becomes a self because the population around the house is not rather in favor of the region

. they are a life whose jones my area, and they don't like uh, is uh, gratian the bose is by utah, jazz east on the east list, who are coming from egypt. right. and the response of the regime is interesting. first, they've been being taken by surprise. and secondly, that big counter attack, assuming a week of the mom would have expected, or it's not, it was not really a surprise because 2 months ago as origin sent troops to to and then because they understood it. at the 3rd edition, i wanted the to the dimensions on see again, table. so it was not a surprise, but it says the origin front line collapse and very quickly because the just use a guess against it from trying this and trucks. we've always from the street side

right there as they have done by the past the like, uh, like today, she knew in many and many guess and it was binding pharmacist. yeah. and i said, i mean the private from just a photo as the from the she thought the she on the dish as pushing for you run into the show coming from iraq. you is not, you know, trying to resist to be the wave of, of the deities and rivers supported by uh, by dec. i spoke about basically jarvis and rebels. so what we understand is a group of them that by this age chess group, united and better opposition to the side raising. but that alliance does seem fragile. yes, because i just use the phones and so code the mission, this and only institution which is a do piece proxies. our side of it was

a fight before between between then that's a shed. yes, we do is just like you who as a dean, nice to be who your friends a, just let me spot to use a joke. system to groups will be all to a to, and kato, a very close together on very, very efficient on of are on. so they are able to read the co edition and to, to make progress. so it was the room was the support of the nation. us and i'll me, which is not so efficient. well then about the likely why the repercussions of this upsets and fighting in syria. how does that change things? um, so now is i hate to hit the initial controller level $10000.00 square acura mentor, northwest. and so that'd be, i'm a tomorrow. this is really weird. again, ginger in the, in, in c o. yeah. because the regime was in a way of rehabilitation,

if you remember that the highest that was invited or the last year and many even europe in the country, you wanted to make contacts with him as a daddy, greece and gary, who was the program of the, of the me grand and just because he wasn't sort of so now, recently we see that is very weak and the, the, it will be removed from, from the fuller by falls all by russia. you run the thing, but he's not familiar. and you must, we did learn farm, have come from the origin when they do that. thank you so much. just to brace blash from the university of neil, a concert driving across the middle east, arab americans are waiting to see how donald trump's new administration will handle foreign policy. in particular, the war in gaza, dw, is janelle dom alone before it's now from michigan. a trump voting states with

a large out of american community. they may be in michigan, but the hearts and minds of the 0 of americans are focused on the middle east. almost everyone here know someone affected by the conflicts there. these high schoolers, in northville, a suburb of detroit or fundraising for relief efforts. asking speakers like, ma, has they done to talk about the war? i'm the live in the line. that is the problem send me an american law graduate so she's hopefully things will get better. but she's also worried about trumps appointees such as mike huckabee, from bassett or to israel. huckabee one said that there's no such thing as a palestinian and that speaking of the palestinian people was a political tool to try and force land away from israel. is it's very disappointing to see who, hey, who he chose to a point because it seems like they're all part of this broader agenda to continue

to support is real and to continue to ignore and completely act like they are not committing crimes. like no children are dying like no so billions are being targeted over in the air of the american majority, city of dearborn and neighboring dearborn heights. many blame the biden administration for how israel has conducted the war. many voted for trump, among them, bill by the, the mirror of dearborn heights. he has memories of war himself having 5 w west from lebanon as a child in the seventy's, by the campaign for the president elect and michigan, despite thomas track record of supporting israel. the cabinet picks don't bother him, but u. s. military does a soft shipping weapons. but what they're doing with the weapons is totally, i guess. everything that we believe in, you know, like us, when i was in the military, you know, you have rules of engagement. you know, you have things that you have to abide by. so why are we abiding by something,

then the people that were sending weapons to the not biding by the same rules. other arab americans felt so strongly about this that they chose to leave the top of their balance, like are voted for a 3rd party to show their disapproval of us policy towards israel, just like college ronnie. i posted in american activists. we met in michigan a year ago, fresh which we are going to stand firm on our principles that we're not going to vote for someone who is an enabler of war crimes against the thomas thing isn't gaza. fast forward to today. we catch up with them and ask whether he thinks that was the right thing to do. also in light of trumps cabinet picks, what i was hoping is that the democrats would take step back and say ok, obviously we're upsetting a lot of people. however, instead of reflecting that became more involved and i, i was never under any this illusion that, that trump is going to be better whether they're happy or not,

about the outcome of the us selection era americans and michigan and elsewhere are united in their hope for us with and to the war. they just have different visions about how that can be achieved and who i'm about to show up today. it's in just a moment. i was about to take a closer look at the big stories of the day in the day, including south korea's last few turbulent hours and wind, luxury, comic and shag. you are a showing expensive ads with no cost, and that's next here on the to the

fall of the spark fury. spain is europe's largest olive oil producer, but it's farmers are desperate. after years of drought, the stone fruit has become coveted looped. if things don't change so many farmers will be driven out of business, and there is no help inside those in 45 minutes on d w, the

let's view. we'll tell here. we are happy that we are back to the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use the dream force and for the future feelings about what's going on in the industry. instead of being discussed across the continent. de leon use africa every friday on the w. where is mohammed? i'm looking for my nephew. give me a decent feeling. we don't know what's going on. on that sub off fled from northern iraq and he became one of hundreds of language to vanish every year. somewhere in no man's land that lies between batteries. i'm

clear if you choose become pools in a cru, see a political conflict with, oh you, she was on the run, the send the a teams on d w. the. this is south korea and a state of emergency as of you. and so you all said it was because of what he called the threats of north korean communist policies. but south korea's parliament told him, no, it's not a vote to block the president's move. well the, i'll be back the president, but then the present changed his mind confuse? well that's understandable. i'm feel go invalid. this is the day the

.
