no, it's not a vote to block. the president's move will be on the back, the president, but then the president changed his mind. confuse? well, that's understandable. i'm feel go invalid. this is the day. the news, i do that marshal law to protect the free republic of korea from the threats of north korea and communist forces, the, to eradicate, to despicable pro north koreans on the state policies that are plundering the freedom and happiness of all people due to the national assemblies, demand to lift marshal,

marshal troops up being withdrawn. i would accept the national assemblies demand and lift marshall through a cabinet meeting. unfortunately, welcome to the day we begin in south korea where i present to you and so can you. oh and now it says he will lift marshall low, just hours after declaring that. he says he would respect, he will respect to vote by parliament calling on him to withdrawal dementia. crowds gathered outside the national assembly building. oh, nice to oppose present, use vigil declarations which was made lights on tuesday. troops were sent to the parliament building at one point and forced entry, but they've since been withdrawn. asked to join this 5 encouragement in sold to me through what has happened in these last few hours. what has happened in the

evening or the late evening president, you use 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 ever. so this is really an unprecedented experience and also very surprising. nobody really saw it coming and presidency. and so joy basically said that needs to protect the constitutional order needs to protect the freedom. and he accused the opposition to the left cleaning opposition of being the pro north korean. and here, um, you know, what to, to eradicate pro north reinforces, i'm quoting him here now. and then there were a lot of them demonstrate as gathering in front of the south square 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 tens as you might expect. it was small scuffles between demonstrators and police, but actually nothing too big. i would say, anyway, now there was a, the final um, like at least for now the final to unplug point. that i'm presently doing so if you'll notice that after voted 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 believed it was due on this fiber and crunch my in sole talking to

me. i'm allowed non, where a quote has upheld the death penalty in the country's largest fraud case, really states tycoon to own by law. i'm had appeals at april conviction which held her responsible for investment and bribery in a bank for ski. that's going to 12 and a half $1000000000.00, maybe 3 percent of it, and i'm g d p code rule the execution could be replaced with a less a penalty if she pays at least 3 quarters of the misappropriated funds. let's explore this was to own who, who is a professor of political science and founding director of the us, be it and i'm research center at the university of oregon in the united states. welcome to the w professor. i said this described as the world's biggest bang for what the true on my line do. well,

uh she embezzle money a massive amount of money. like you said about $12000000000.00. my illegal means the to the customers deposit into a bang out to invest a to speculate on the on real estate. right. so she use and as i understand it, it's illegal in vietnam for any one person to to hold with a 10 percent of a bank. but she somehow managed to circumvent this yes, she has a very strong personal connections to the top vietnamese, communist leaders, especially the party boss of whole team and city and facilities, believe the political connections she was able to do what's what she did, which is to you know, almost take over the commercial bank and then, you know,

take the deposit out to, to speculate unrealistic. so how did she get quote uh, well, uh, she get caught. uh, the certainly you know, like she has been doing this since she was doing it since uh, 2012 also. and i'm sure the government was aware of that. but she bry, uh bang inspectors to look the other way. and she also had, you know, pretty clear perfection, like i said. and so she, she didn't talk because her main paper in the potty mazda of which means cd retired . and she lost her political connection, input and, and protection. and that's why, you know, she was, she was a loaner low. right. and so now she's facing the death penalty, which seems ha, shaving for billions of dollars. it's

a death penalty often used to punish fraud. it's rarely given. and in this case, i think it's uh, the parties trying to make an example of her. and then also they also want to scaffold enough so that she get to us is willing to pay what she has taken from the bank. and that's something well up to 3 courses. i think she has to be paid somebody like $9000000000.00 or a face the death penalty from is she likely to raise that? how is she going to do that? i don't know, but the that still a lot of property that the company and host of c diaries and the, you know, the subsidize of a company and also the partners partners they own many property and some property i estimated to to be was a 1000000000 of $2000000000.00. so uh, so they,

uh they, they do have, uh, the ability to, to recover that. and she also invested abroad as well. and we'd be, that's why the government is going after, on this, this case is part of why the national cracked down on a corruption. how big a problem that is corruption and van. well, corruption is rampant in viet nam and which is the top political leadership in the country. and so in the last 2 years or so about 6 out of 18, a members of the political bureau which is the ruling body of the communist party. so 6 out of 18 members have been forced to resign due to involvement in corruption. and there are hundreds and thousands of, uh, local officials, uh,

being being uh, prosecuted for corruption as well. so its its squire input indeed ma'am. right. so how do you think this is going to and do you think you're wrong? my line will be put to that? i think she's likely to be commute that uh, eventually uh and this may take, you know, this process might take a year or 2 a longer, you know, because a lot of properties is difficult to recover. and she also may not be willing to, to, to uh, to uh, you know, give up all she has and the government and we want and we all always want to demand more from her. so that, that's the problem that we don't know how, how it can be solved. ok, thanks and talk us through that professor possessive to own vote. and the university of all right. thank you very much.

that's a syria. well positioned, active as the site insurgents of pushing ahead with that offensive against government forces, capturing more towns and closing in on the city of how my state troops say they've re taken some territory. last and last week, surprise attack when the alliance of rebel groups to the country, 2nd, states a laptop you and says nearly 50000 people have been displaced by the latest fighting in a sign of disdain. for the regime of sculpture of president bush, char ellison's late brother is toppled by protesters and elect though 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 film by the militants

shows them entering was believed to be president, assad's palace and 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 intensified the result, thousands of civilians are fleeing the fighting in a level and other areas in the north. getting to safety is a challenge. and i thought if you had the 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, bank 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 based below,

she is an associate professor and research director at the university of neil where he specializes and the g of politics of the middle east. austin, where he for the offensive would go next. yes, thought the the, the graduation is going to come up and the, but i know that's me a spend forever taking as a c d of the resume because these yeah only, it's not february to, to put things as g t. and to fix the intelligence from everything we know when to, to create a funk line is between homes and how it becomes a self because the population around the house is not the rather in favor of the origin. they are otherwise christians, man. yeah. and they don't like, uh, is uh, gratian proposes by use a g, a g used on the east list who are coming from egypt. right. and the response

of the regime is interesting for us. they've been being taken by surprise. and secondly, that the counter attack, assuming a week of the mom would have expected it's not, it was not really a surprise because 2 months ago as regions sent troops to to and that because they understood that the addition i wanted the to the dimensions on see again, table. so it was not a surprise, but it says the original phone line collapses very quickly. because the just use a guess against it from trying this and trucks. we've always street side uh bright though, as they have done by the past. uh, like, uh, like today she named many and many guys and uh it was a binding pharmacy and i said i needed the private from just a photo as the pharmacy, both of the she or munitions of pushing 4. you run into the show coming from iraq,

you is not enough trying to to resist to be the wave of, of the deities and rivers supported by 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, the raising. but that alliance does seem fragile. the yes, because i just use the phones and so code a mission that channel me, 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 are, just let me spot to use a joke. system to groups will belong to a 2 out of kato, a very close together, and very,

very efficient. the ones that are on so we are able to read the co edition and to, to make progress. so it was the room was the support of the initial nurse in ami, which is not so efficient. well then, about the likely why the repercussions of this up search and fighting in syria. how does that change things? um, so now i hate to hit the ignition controller and the level 10000 square feet are mentor, northwest. and so that'd be, i'm off tomorrow. this is me 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, many, even europe in country you wanted to make contacts with him as a daddy, greece and gary about the programs of the me run. and just because he was

so no racing we see which is very weak and the, the he will be removed from the bowler by false, by russia. you're one of the thing, but he's not for the the most we did learn farm have come from the origin when they do that. thank you so much. just a brace blash from the university of neil with conflict pricing across the middle east, arab americans, and waiting to see how donald trump's new administration will handle foreign policy in particular, the war in gaza. the w correspondence now to malone reports now from michigan, 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, jose done to talk about the what was the last in the line that in see the public opinion, american law graduates. 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. so 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 israel and to continue to ignore and completely act like they are not committing crimes. like no children are dying like no civilians are being targeted over in the air of the american majority, city of dearborn and neighboring dearborn heights. many blamed the biden

administration for how israel has conducted the war. many voted for trump. among them, they'll busy the mayor of dearborn heights. he has memories of war himself having 5 to the us from lebanon as a child in the seventy's bessie campaign for the president elect in michigan. despite trump's 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 that, not biding by the same rules, other arab americans felt so strongly about this, that they chose to leave the top of their ballot blank, or voted for a 3rd party to show their disapproval of us policy towards israel,

just like college ronnie. i posted in american active as we met in michigan, a year ago, fresh which we are going to send from on our principals that we're not going to vote for someone who is an enabler of war crimes against thomas and is in gaza, very 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, okay, obviously we're upsetting a lot of people. however, instead off 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 and their hope for us with end to the war, they just have different visions about how that can be achieved and who
