these become poles in a cruise here to the school counseling, missouri, i'm afraid they'll never see him again. when, oh, you lost under the stops december 18th, on dw, the this is t w. news life from the island. south korea is a physician, begins impeachment, proceedings against the president. 6 policies filed a motion cooling on units of guilt. of course, immediately the parliament building has become the setting for a candlelight vigil. this people raleigh against his brief and k. also, kim, position of muscle, also coming up from the program, a political crisis, deepening and from says parliament for past, for no confidence votes, the cut out prime minister, because vanya is government and the baffles. the control of syria continues as

special as subs forces hit back against the rebel forces, tens of thousands of flame, the plus mesa of foreign ministers crumpled with the stress of hybrid volta, missing, and brussels. they focus on the suspect sabotage of on the see cables in the baltic sea. the money keeps making and welcome to the program. thanks so much for joining us. all position policies in south korea have begun impeachment proceedings against the president of the he briefly imposed, marshall, which effectively means millard, truthful you and so feel was false to lift it just i was later off the resistance from little makers who unanimously voted to reject the decision that's put back on the events that have threatened south korea and to its biggest crisis since the

came a democracy in the 1980s. a bill of impeachment for south korea's president opposition parties accused you and suck you'll of trying to stage an insurrection. they say his declaration of martial law on tuesday is a criminal act you and stuck your has done something crazy that violates the constitution. basically committed a crude, todd impeachment is not a choice anymore. it's a must citizens and opposition law makers gathered outside parliament, demanding his resignation. they warn he will go to great lengths to stay in power. will come in time. there is a high possibility of him endangering people's lives by provoking north korea, causing chaos near the military denmark cation line, and in the end causing an armed clash. most of

the prices are relatively tuesday when the president has suddenly announced he was imposing martial law, fighting threats from north korea and an anti state forces. women armed troops swooped into the capital, sold soldiers in circle parliament and try to enter the building. but protestors and law makers blocked their access and fought their way in parliament, then passed a unanimous motion demanding a martial law be lifted. something go ahead to hey, i'm good. okay. we can have hours later president unit did just that time, but the damage was done, though it was short lived in march. the 1st time the civilian government had been replaced by the military since south korea's dictatorship ended in the late 19 eighties. people are shaken by the events where don't like it was an experience

that i've only seen in movies. and i realized how much more serious it is that i had imagined as soon as a couple not looked at the full man. we only use her last night. i happened to wake up from my sleep and came across the news. at 1st, i was scared and very confused. i kept thinking. what is coming on? is this something that could actually happen in this era? do you see that they don't have a meeting go try to execute the president of attempting to tightened his grip on power, struggles to push through his agenda in the office using lead parliament, unimpeachable. it requires backing from a majority of law makers and the constitutional court parliament is set to vote on the motion. and later this week, journalist june hub pack is in sole and updated us on delays has the and there's a lot of fury on the ground from lawmakers from the public on what the

decision of president union was to make sure that he declares martial law at 10, 30 pm last night. it's still up in the air as to what he's actually planned up the p. p. the people tell a party of the ruling pals, party and, and also the prime minister. and the chief of staff of both have all 3 have meant inside the presidential office was president you the defense minister has attended his resignation as has the full cabinet of the south korean cabinets as well. and it's quite certain that the south re impressed and right now, there is quite a lot of and momentum that he will be impeached. very soon. the impatient bill, as i have heard from my sources, is that it has been submitted into the national assembly. it will be reported to the national assembly tomorrow morning and they will sold

a plenary session within 24 hours of john list june alpax speaking to us from solar lillia. now the french column and is preparing for no confidence the could oust prime minister and he showed about and he is government. the potential full of his 3 month old cabinets is likely to confront his political crisis. the country has be reeling from a polarizing snap election, but left the parliament divided into 3 blocks. none of which has a majority to be a successful the no confidence vote risk leaving fronts without the government or a budget as it enters the new year. and that's frustrates to power us to correspondent lisa louis who is in the french parliament elisa, what can we expect to see in the coming hours the well as i'm speaking in parliament, terry, i was actually discussing 2 motions of no confidence to motions of sense are behind

but he's still was over there. one of them brought in by the last is likely to get through. and as you said, that would bring down the government's li, live fonts without a functioning government that wouldn't be attached to governments stepping in until the amount of my call a points, a new prime minister. this is really a crucial moment in french politics, as you might be able to tell by what you're seeing behind me. lots of journalists have come up to the national assembly. i've never actually seen that many still is covering what's happening here in front today at the national, somebody from the bottom. and so we're looking at the potential toppling of the french. got the government. could you remind us how we got to this point? well what happens was basically earlier this year, french president in my, my call called smell collections hoping thoughts because he didn't have a majority in parliament that he could when motivates to get the majority foxfire.

those got even less seats in columns and fronts was left with a song called them. and as you said earlier, no one of the 3 blogs has a clear majority now and my, my call it took 2 months to name a new prime minister who was misled down, you know, to be a tough rex with negotiator, in the hope that if someone does space, which seems an impossible task bring together all the different parties here and from that he could do, it seems like he hasn't achieved what a hot cut out to do is really impossible to, i must say to bring different parties with fonts together because front it's just not good to not taught us and government, and that's what we would like you to see lights are here today. so lisa, if we do see the toppling of the french government, put it into context for us. what does this name for, from going forward? well, what it means, 1st of all, as i said, that that will be a cash hate the government when it comes to the budget. now there was this budget

that was brought into parliament here aiming to bring down francis public debt to 6 . let me remind you that the defense public, this is it will reach more than 6 percent this year. and french public that now is larger than the countries d, d, p. so it's really crucial forefront to bring down its spending and increase, you know, income. now if that pulls through, though we can't take the government, the most likely scenario is that the 2020 full budget will be replicated in 2025. so that will be no shut down that you could possibly see in the us. things will continue to function here. however, the budget of this year also costs $6.00, that's 6 percent public deficit. so it's a huge problem for fund. i'm going to look at the financial markets. markets investors are getting nervous and fonts is already paying more money to borrow money on the market. the interest rates are rising and that would obviously uh, you know,

put it so to make it situation even worse in the future as more district make it more difficult for prompts to bring down it's public that we certainly reporting from piracy. so thanks so much for that update. we're going to take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines today. and the media is alexis, it's 1st female president election officials have declared and attend the non day and the day 12 when of the november the 27th. the election technical glitch has led to 3 extra days of those things. but the position policies reject seeing the results. but when does extend the ruling policies plus the 4 year grant on power to iran has released the nobel peace prize. laureate, analogous momma, the from prison now does, according to her lawyer who posted on social media that her sentence has been temporarily suspended on medical grounds. rights activists recently urge her release of to she underwent surgery to remove positive bone accounts. this is the

philippines says a chinese coast guard ship hits. one of his patrol boat and disputed voices of the south china sea released the video showing the much larger chinese vessel scraping the boats. and firing was a candidates communications antenna. china is china's coast guard, blames the philippine vessel for coming too close to its own ship. a 3rd and government forces have launched a counter attack against islam misled rebels around the key syrian city of hum. this comes nearly a week off to president bush on l. a sub forces suffered a string of significant losses. the insurgents have already captured, launch of stretches of territory in the north, including syria's 2nd largest city. i left the 10s of thousands of people a fleeting with slicing un, his warning of a major humanitarian crisis. an exodus of civilians just as

winter is setting in with the islam is lead rebels advancing and government forces back by russia intensifying their air strikes. ordinary people are caught in the crossfire. the u. n. is raising the alarm over the impact of hostilities on the syrian population slit. how office has documented a number of extremely concerning incidents resulting in multiple civilian casualties, including a high number of women and children stemming from a tax bite but her at terry, at our shops will hedge to us. and by pro government forces of particular concern is the faith of serious kurdish minority. among the rebels are turkish backed in search and forces who have been fighting curtis groups in northern syria. and despite assurances by the rebels at courier, civilians will not be harmed. witnesses report being targeted by pro turkish gunman

as the 1st to take the on melissa, so they just place us against. oh well, they're subject to certain people think they would couldn't be help them. so we left and that's why they were saying that there will be a head all cause they were telling of terrible thing to them. but for you, meanwhile, fierce fighting is underway. close to the key city of hama the syrian government has launched a counter offensive to push back the rebels. the battle field is crowded in northern syria with numerous state sponsored and non state actors all involved in the renewed fighting. it's a reminder of the mfc global politics at play in serious long running civil war. russia's war against you, crime has expanded to include thousands of north korean soldiers, hypotonic missiles, and suspected hybrid attacks on ukraine's allies may so far administered. it'd be nice thing and brussels to discuss how best to respond to this escalation,

which includes the suspected suffering of communications cables under the baltic sea, continuing support for ukraine and the blocks preparations for the upcoming donald trump presidency of dominates is the tools dw correspondent terry schultz is in brussels and told me what the main outcomes of this to day may sing as a, as well as you laid out there. there was really a full agenda, including a visit from king abdullah of jordan to update for him. ministers on the situation in the middle east, but the main outcome, the main tangible outcome of this meeting is that foreign ministers agreed to step up their efforts to act in a proactive way to prevent and detour these hybrid attacks from russia. and that includes acts of sabotage and what the secretary general more crude to called energy blackmail. so what they've decided to do is, is increase their efforts to share intelligence across the alliance. that's really important minutes and difficult to do because basically some countries don't trust

each other as as much as others as, as much as other countries. and so they really gotta work on this. the other thing they'll do is try to increase their surveillance of under see infrastructure. they're also going to crack down on rush a shadow fleet of a these and see where the tankers that are carrying oil in nato allies, the territorial waters. and so they're an environmental danger, as well as putting money in moscow's pocket. so this is what market to said is really an important outcome of this meeting today. the foreign ministers were, of course, also discussing ukraine, the future of age, to ukraine in the bubble, nato security guarantee. so did they make any new promises of support to keep? what? well, we heard that the dinner last night with the ukrainian foreign minister was quite heated at times, as they discussed off the record, what, what they could do. now ukraine's foreign minister came to this meeting saying that nothing other than ground in ukraine,

an invitation to join nato is acceptable. he says that his country security simply chance to be guaranteed by anything less then article 5, which is of course, the collective security guarantees that all nato allies have. but that's a long way off for ukraine. countries just don't agree that you can offer an invitation to a country with a war raging on its territory. so basically what secretary gentle margaret just said is that, you know, what we really need to talk about is getting war weapons to ukraine. there are 40000000000 euros and assistance promise by the end of the year. they're also setting up this new command under nato. that is going to see to the logistics of getting the weapons that have been promised actually to delivery. and, and they're also going to be doing more training and coordinating the training of ukrainian soldiers. so basically the ukranian foreign minister left without any new promises and not what he really wanted, which was a time table for getting ukraine into nato dw correspondent terry schultz. terry,

thank you so much how it is, but the government on borrowed time, german trump, so that will official. it says or tons parliament earlier to face question. so she, in his opening remarks, he reiterated germany support. so the defense of ukraine show us as the war escalating into a direct confrontation between russia and the nato alliance. truthful so stress that ahead of elections due to be held in february. the one slow make has to pos pressing legislation, such as a rent kept the cash strapped to generalize this funding. junkie, much easier on you know, he is chief political edison because lexis now was in the bundle stock, the german parliament. and she gave us her assessment of all sorts of performance as well. let's put it this way. it's and it was question time and we have elections coming up in february here in germany. so every spring, every political exchange has to be seen through that prism of a looming election. and that's also what it felt like. what was interesting is that

when i sold didn't use his time is introduction to recount his successes. instead, he tried to get the majority together for a couple of projects. you already mentioned some he would like to see voted through parliament despite the fact that he currently only has a minority. now, it looks rather unlikely that he's going to get much agreement. that particular when it comes on the economy, that is his phyllis here right now with the bad news coming in sick and fast. and most recently the north fault is spent, especially folding. the attempts to actually have a strengthening of battery production here in europe. also to help the german electric car industry. so he was clearly on the defensive here and he said missed the opportunity to sprinkle in a few of issues that he saw as successes. so what, what was it the key issues that came up to them and what was it in the economy or

what was the other things? it's too large degree was the economy, but also foreign policy. he was asked once again about ukraine, whether he would consider sending more weapons. he was criticized for not sending enough not sending heavy equipment heavy material fast enough. his counter argument is time and time again that germany is europe's strongest supporter of ukraine, both in monetary and military times. he also was asked about israel, there. he stood accused of not delivering enough munitions fast enough. that was something he could not be rejected simply being untrue. so that was kind of the level of exchange on foreign policy issues. although he also did face some criticism for and somewhat pushing poland away from cooperating with germany, particularly on the issue of european security. he and says, the all good working relations with poland,

despite the fact that the toast didn't invite him to his most recent around a strategic talks on security in the future, particularly in view of ukraine. that leaves or salts would still quite a few issues where he cannot give an answer because he really can't do much with this current minority in parliament as well as the w as chief political edison. mikaela christmas. i hear some of the stories making headlines today, and the new chief of the un humanitarian agency has warned. the world is on fire while appealing for more. a funding from fletcher who took the post last month is appealing for more than $47000000000.00 in aid for next year. such a says, vast amount will help only about 2 thirds of the more than 300000000 people in need across the globe with the impact. thousands of georgians have protested in front of parliament and the capital to please see for 6 nights. they're angry at the
