that you're a sweet thing for us and then when generation now i'm due to this kind of fun. it feels like this is dw news line from berlin. south greece, president drops his plan to impose marshall walk into fuels abrupt about face comes after protesters surrounded the parliament building and lawmakers voted against him. the president had earlier sent shock waves through the nation with an unannounced link 90 the address also on the program. ukraine renews. it's called for full needle membership as the only effective security guaranteed in the face of russian aggression. but some members of the military alliance are still resisting and syrian rebel forces closed in on

the key city of hama. as they advanced against the regime of bizarre. i saw the syrian army says it's striking back with russian air support. the i'm aaron tilting welcome to the program. we begin in south korea where president human, so fuel has lifted martial law just hours after declaring that you and reversed his decision after facing a major backlash from law makers. and protesters. crowds gathered outside parliament as lawmakers inside voted unanimously against the measure. troops were sent to the building and force their way inside, but were withdrawn again shortly after. prison, you announced martial law in a late night address, accusing the opposition of what he called anti state activities. he announced the

reversal in another televised speech just hours later. okay, we can hash to the national assemblies, demand to lift, marshall, marshall low troops have been withdrawn to hi would accept the national assemblies demand and list marshall through a cabinet meeting. campbell, i had a question for more. let's now speak to catherine noon. she is a professor of political science and chair of asian studies at wellesley college. so help us make sense of this. and thank you for joining us to help us make sense of this. why did the president impose and then lift the mart martial law? so it's very hard to make sense of this to be fully honest here. um we don't really know why president yoon declared marshall law late at night, and it only lasted 2 and a half hours. the national assembly quickly gathered and the

leader of the opposition democratic party, as well as the leader of his own conservative people's power party work together to unite naturally. assembly members who showed up in the middle of the night and unanimously voted to a know and revoke this martial law declaration. it's possible that he felt so pressed by the inability, his inability to actually govern, and that might have caused this declaration. there are people in korea who say that his wife, who has been covered with political scandals, even before his election, had started in the campaign back in 2021, 2022. she has continued to gather a media and public coverage because of allegations regarding stock

price, manipulation of drives through the receivable of luxury goods and a whole slate other accusations. the democratic party members in the national assembly were intent on trying to get a special council or investigator to uh, to investigate the situation. and um, president, you also has such a low favorability ranking down at 17 percent or so and has not been able to be effective in any way. so i think his own personal and political weakness made him act in this way, but it really does not make sense. it's such a drastic, drastic reaction to whatever trouble he felt he was having. and as you were just saying, there lawmakers from his own party voted against a declaration where they boring the public pressure or did you overplays hand?

i think he overplayed it, and i don't think he even thought about his hand. it's really hard to understand why what prompted him, and i would not say that the national assembly members bowed to public pressure and the people were in bed sleeping. for the most part by the national assembly members, they took action right away. and some even climbed over the fences and walls surrounding the national assembly building because the police for blockading it, but they want it to get into the building in order to do their job. and it's really the public came out early in the morning and then later today and obviously expressed their deep discontent and uh, worries about what is happening to their democracy. yeah. and they're saying that the public is still under feeding soul. so how do you see the situation plain? i know that martial law has been rescinded. could we see a continued escalation? i don't think there will be a public escalation. i think the president is and will continue to

be under fire to resign. and i am sure that the national assembly will be proceeding with impeachment, processing fees or procedures. the public will be clamoring for resignation, impeachment, and accountability uh, through law. so i think he's in a lot of trouble. i don't know how he can possibly hold on to his his position. what's also interesting is that he tried to lean on his cabinet in order to follow a procedure or protocol to actually lift martial law when he took no such action. prior to it, he did it really deliberate with anybody except for the defense minister. it seems and called his entire government for the most part off guard. but his cabinet members are also in a very insecure position. he had about a week ago already announced at the end of november, or that he was planning to do

a cabinet. we shuffling. so there is a lot of unrest, a lot of uncertainty coming from the presidency itself. and we'll see in the next few days and weeks how things uh um, continue to either clear up or possibly get the it, the in fighting between the parties and within his own people's power party. i think it's going to be pretty intense. yeah, we are seeing some really chaotic times in political soul right now. our. i'm afraid we have to leave it there. that was catherine moon at wellesley college. thank you very much for joining us. thank you. nato secretary general has urge members stains to increase their military support for ukraine. martha's call comes for ukraine or culture. more 8 for ukraine. push. yeah, i'm sorry. excuse me. there were this call comes after you clean push for more progress. on joining the alliance natal foreign ministers have been meeting to

discuss support for q in the defense against rushes, invasion and creating present. the loading there's a lensky suggested the that they might agree to a cease fire if need to extend its protection. the parts of the country under keels control, they don't have so far decline to say when or how we will offer ukraine membership . that's because of the concerns that it could be drawn into direct conflict with russian. mike, with a warrant that the next few months of the war will be decisive to put a name is entering a nother crucial but and scripture as aggression shows no sign of abating. just the opposite. voted is ramping up his rhetoric and reckless actions. he is using ukraine as a testing ground for experimental 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. so

great as right to defend itself, and we have a duty to help them. so we need to continue our steps fast support the w as terry schultz explain why new members are willing to arm ukraine, but are unwilling to allow ukraine to joining the alliance. 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 root 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 also 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,

there's simply everybody is not on the same page. they simply cannot make that promise to ukraine. at this point. let's take a brief look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. in india, survivors of the 1984 a chemical leaks and bull coal have rally for justice, including more support for their health care. on the tragedies, forty's anniversary, thousands were killed and half a 1000000 more poison when toxic gas escape from a pesticide plan owned by union carbide. so ranks as the world's worst industrial disaster. he says to bite and has met with his and going counterparts, july, lori and so from the capital one to the us president is on a 3 day visit to discuss a major rail core door intended to showcase us investment and to counter china's influence on the african continent. president lloyd, so described the biden visit as a key turning point in us in golden relations drawers. this passport has rejected a challenge a countries october elections next to the countries outgoing president,

filed the lawsuit. yeah, you seem to have the parliamentary vote declared unconstitutional. the ruling comes after a 5th night of protest sparks find the government's decision deposit a session talks with the european union. a meeting between the british and creek prime ministers is raising hopes increased that missing parts of the pantheons. 2500 year old fries can be repatriated. the motto sculptures have spent 2 centuries in the british museum in london. reports said the museum and greek officials are closed in agreements to return. the rebels in syria are closing in on the city of hama and pushing ahead with their assault against government forces. the city of hama was our best june of opposition against president bush. auto saw bush or us on when protests 1st started in 2011. it has since faced a series of violent reading crackdowns the as long as revels launched their lightning assault last week. quickly capturing the city of a level,

the one says nearly 50000 people have been displaced in over 100 civilians killed in this latest flare up of the syrian civil war. on highway to humble, as long as troubles are advancing further south. they've now captured new towns in the province. so down is just north of homeless city. the last time rebels were here, 7 years ago. they say they're hoping to walk them back civilians support the opposition for exile by government forces. the sort on the law, they noticed that the one we are in the town to sit down because has granted us victory. thank god. how about uh, mean uh as well. but i said, well, what i wanna say for deliberative from is that scans and then we're now working on returning civilians to the homes, you know, be with the him, certainly being a vine mean leading new, sensitive as an, as long as militant crew co pay at the heading to show or

h t s. have long been designated to terrorist organization by the un and the us. various arms groups have joined them, including fighters, backed by turkey. as they advanced to the south. their next goal is to seize the city of homes, giving them control of the strategic highway linking damascus to the syrian coast. well, on the job, the job we're heading to home a city. and after that, i'll go willing to home and then to damascus. and the rest of syria will be liberated again to feel as though we just some residents of damascus have already started to wave their options. they say they will stay, no matter what, what's the issue with living in our homeland, our land, our country. we won't leave, that's all true on the side of the government has vowed to fight back aided by russia and iran back miller heroes who have been preoccupied with their own

conflicts. the un says tens of thousands have been displaced since the latest defensive began by listing that this reset, the discussion of supposedly just has cause many civilian casualties. display is tens of thousands of people are interrupted, create the concept of disease understood update our, you know, communicating operations. defensive is the most serious escalation of the conflict in years. it has only added to what is one of the world's largest displacement crises, more than 11000000 people have been displaced in the 13 years of war in syria. here's a quick reminder of the top story we're following for you at this hour. so green president use, so fuel has announced he will listen marshal last just hours after he declared it. the reversal came after protested, surrounded parliament and lawmakers voted unanimously to block the measure

and you're up to date coming up. next, we take a look at how samples of lunar rocks have shape we know about the moving. stay tuned for tomorrow today. and remember, you can always get much for using a website that's c, w dot com. i'm here until berlin. thanks for joining us. the . the,

[000:00:00;00] the, to now ask for notes improves, brought in any 400 kilograms of moving. welcome back to us. where on the moon did they come from? and how have they changed, how we view of places celeste still neva is to the moon, is a history book that allows us to look far back into the passcode. could the some post from telling is 2020 full moon mission to throw out new mysteries? it's my going to see how the moon is still good for a surprise or 2. we know a little scientist, appetites have been wedded, but lunar research still has a long way to go register for the all ends. in

july 1969 apollo astronauts set off on the 1st mission to land on the moon, the destination and luna plane on the side of it. the faces us good rate, our data there was no way to print just a landing with the spacecraft, touch down safely or sink deep into dust and tip of here, go live lab and the amount 6 around 6 $100000000.00 people watch the historic events on television neil armstrong and buzz aldrin spent 2 and a half hours on middle eunice surface. they carried out experiments and collected almost 22 kilograms of rocks to bring back to us. traces of the mission to still visible on the satellite side,

toes take them today. nasa sent 6 crude space, such as i know the names face on the 1st flights the focus was less on collecting samples and more on landing, safely in slash areas for later today at school, say target to the areas that were more difficult to reach the fitful the apollo emissions landed on the near side of the main times 2 is quite so easy to suppose to be imagined. if you had to describe the earth's geology based on just a few landing sites, you wouldn't see much. and it's the same for us with the moon's, the more landing sites, and the more samples we have from different sites, the better it is in the end places. hi, what's going on, on the public safety mission expanded some reasons. it's asked to note,

so able to explore extensively for the 1st time with a new know, reza or and they collected much more involved in that pre dismisses from a wide range of sites. the last mission in the series, apollo 17 was the 1st with the scientist on board. oh, wait a minute. geologist harrison just makes our file well, he made a surprising discovery. orange material. amidst all the gray. it was the groundbreaking insights through one vector. in total, the apollo astronauts broke more than 380 kilograms of moving. welcome back to us from 6 landing sites. the, the largest chunk is nick named big muley. like most of the other materials from the apollo emissions. it's

a to nasa facility in houston lab. some posts are stored in nitrogen to protect them from moist. yeah. the, the lunar samples for such as glimpses into a fall distant past mid. yeah. cuz i'm going to do a pull all of the hollow samples, allow us to look back about 4400000000 years or time, of course, very close to the formation of the planets. we think earth formed 4500000000 years ago. so that means we're very, very close to saying what happened in the beginning fund. casias. china is chung define flu deprived, launched in november 2020 its mission to bring some pulse back to us around 5 decade south to the last depaula emissions. the talkative location was specifically chosen to provide missing data understanding gaps in what we already know. chunk of 5 landed in

a volcanic area and collected almost 2 kilograms of dustin drugs. the long journey has its success. a chunk of 6 was launched at the beginning of may 2024, to collect trucks for the 1st time from the fall side of the mood. geologists have been eager to have them for decades. the in labs here on us main rocks could be examined with a range of highly sensitive methods, able to precisely determine the age and composition. even just looking at it in that light microscope told experts and lots about the rocks, history, and development. the composition of the minerals and this size showed, for example, what depths the rock crystallized and how quickly it cooled,

the very 1st apollo samples changed on the view of our planet. they contained 3 previous sleep unknown minerals. it later turned out that these luna minerals also exist on the us, but it quite rat. the most of the samples are well documented photos and satellites. images have been made of the sites they were taken from the surroundings. the, with this data, research has developed a message for determining the age of various pumps of the main surface. the larger and more numerous, the crate is off. the old to the area is becoming constant more i can date the entire moon using this method even when no humans have ever walked on to

a particular surface. and i can also apply the method to other celestial bodies of so i can also date, mercury and mars. i can date the surface of an asteroid, and econ, as the reading or pollution that to you, in the luminous pulse of given us insights into the early days of us or the system. they can be used for instance, to reconstruct when the nascent plants was struck by asteroids and comments and how heavy the bombardment was on us tectonic movement drives rocks underground, where it mounts in raising traces of our planet. sadly, history move to vegetation and at all. so alter the surface the samples collected even revealed the secret as the origin of all moving in the borrower tree. it turns out that the moon rocks with very similar to terrestrial

rocks. the until then there was several series about where on the came from. now it's rocks revealed . this, it was actually pos of us. the the, the evidence indicates that move in 4 and a half 1000000000 years ago, a mazda sized celeste deal, body grain style planning. materials from both bodies was held into space. this eventually formed look at different always 50. i thought that the cooling of the moon's crossed a certain deformation of its upper crust, happens very quickly now, 50000000 years after the collision officer for this, your geologically, that's very fast for this. of course, these are dimensions that we humans can't really imagine force there. and it certainly days the moon was bon bonded heavily. the impacts less behind knowledge

crisis, which relate to flood data by rising maxima, the. the rock cools informed, the doc crate is that gives the moon its face. the decades off to the apollo emissions researches retrieve the samples from the archives and examined them using new methods. in this number, they may have actually discovered the oldest us roque as the meteor writes, possibly held it from the still young us towards the moon. where it fused with this roque in another impact. another groundbreaking discovery was made in the orange

colored material collected by apollo's 17 glass beads containing lu. now most have been wonderful. if we were to assume that the water came from the earth, then it would naturally collect on the surface of the glass be sun and inside them as and so in this respect, we are very sure that we actually have water from the moon in these little glass beads and in class to do some garden volcanic eruptions pro no more to with the maxima to the means surface. in the frigid vacuum, the hawk dropped. plants instantly froze into glass beads, trapping the water inside the samples from the chinese. pro chung of 5 also he had some surprises, such as have discovered even more so in them than in the apollo rocks embedded in

glasgow bills that were formed during meets your rights impacts. they full more to release it again and might even drive luna water cycle all these discoveries have made the moon interesting again, service such as after world war 2 is the most important results to crude space travel the one area in particular on the fall side of the moon has interested planet tree geologists, the decades rocks from that, and now allowing them to look even further back in time, vanessa. the south pole 8 can base and is almost 2500 kilometers in diameter. and about flushing kilometer is deep. the it foamed mold in full 1000000000 years ago when a huge asteroid crushed into the mood that shot to dates,

crossed until its material up onto this fist from the palais as of rock its material that could provide new insights into the us the, this, me good now i don't know exactly what the 1st rocks on earth looked like, nor do we know exactly how old the earth is. and only the moon could tell us that more. that means looking into the past. and if we have mantel material from the moon, then we also know what magnet was composed of right at the very beginning. but back when the earth was very young and the moon formed in some of the maxima, 400 people. the apollo crate is located in the 18 base in china's most recent luna. pro chung a 6, retrieve some polls from this crate. so full robots work together to make that possible. the space pro reach the moon's old, which in early may 2024. it took just on to 3 weeks to touch down at its

destination and drop off the land, a robots which reached the luminous, faced on june the 1st month in advance. a relay satellite was positioned and luna obits to transmit the data to us. radio signals comp reach the false side of the moon directly using a special digging device. and a drill the line to a robot collected around 2 kilograms of rocks on polls. the a transpose have been carried that precious call. go back to the probe which brought the rope to us, the geologist, several reggie, eagerly awaiting data. the fullest and major space bearing nations now have luna times in the coming decades

stations that to be built to the south pole. crude missions will reveal in even more detail how them even with phones. and most of us looked like around 4 and a half 1000000000 years ago. the. the virtual close rate of school in japan offers students to drop pounds away jack into education no consequences. rapists in india often get off scot free, a harrowing situation. so many women that the i'm showing is new mega thoughts in a room brings residents opportunities, concerns

the
