the findings drive tens of thousands to flee their homes. the welcome to the show opposition parties in south korea have begun impeachment proceedings against the president after he briefly imposed martial law. use of y'all was quickly forced to reverse the order after step resistance from lawmakers who unanimously voted to reject that decision. so kills own party has now voted to support him in the impeachment proceedings camping 24 hours. that rocked south korea as 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 crew to 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, bottom of the, the prices are relatively tuesday when the president has suddenly announced he was imposing martial law fighting threats from north korea and ty, state forces, we men 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 to be lifted. just don't get over here 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 the 1st time the civilian government had been replaced by the military since south korea's dictatorship ended in the late 19 eighties.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, and we don't like it was an experience that i've only seen and movies, and i realized how much more serious it is. then i had imagined some of the cold when i looked at the full man we on these how 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? most of the menu didn't go. critics accuse the president of attempting to tightened his grip on power, struggles to push through his agenda in the office in lead, parliament and impeachment requires backing from a majority of law makers and the constitutional court parliament is set to vote on the motion. and later this week, onto another political crisis, the french parliament disappearing and no confidence votes that could else prime minister michelle barney is government. the potential for all of his 3 month old cabinet is like plaintive deepens, francis political christ. absolutely. the country has been reeling from a polarizing staff election and has left the parliament divided into 3 blocks, none of which as a majority, if successful, the no confidence vote risk leaving france without a government or

a budget as it enters the new year. let's take you straight to paris to correspond at least a louie who is in the french parliament lease out. what can we expect to see in the coming hours? well, what's happening right now is that commentary ends up discussing behind those those over there. if they want to bring the problem and it looks like that is oh and i think there are just 2 random people trying to broadcast from that room where lisa louis is joining us from the french parliament. i apologize for that. we'll try to get an update from her later. we on her next topic. the syrian government forces have launched a counter attack against islam misled rebels around the key syrian city of hama. this comes nearly a week after president bush charles sides forces suffered a string of significant losses. insurgents have already captured large stretches of

territory in the north, including syria, 2nd largest city, a level tens of thousands of people are fleeing the fighting as the when warns 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 attacks by thought, hereditary 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. 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 placed us against our will there subject to certain people thing that we couldn't be help them. so we left and that's why they were saying that there will be a head off heard of that they were telling of terrible thing to them. but for you, funny. meanwhile, fierce fighting is under way 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.

and we can talk more about the global politics. that's land serious war. i'm joined now by aaron stein. he's a president of the foreign policy research institute. aaron, good to have you on d. w. now russia and ron were vital in helping damascus previously or gain control of most of the country. will they be able to help aside again, this time around? i feel like we're at the very beginning of when the russians and the radians intervene in the city or in civil war and they were initially intervene because they want it from fence. the collapse of the syrian version was only out for the stabilize the front lines that they went on office to try and take back some territory which they were ultimately successful. in doing so, i expect in the next couple of the say 72 to 96 hours an increase in russian or strikes perhaps for ports of sip of or rocky militias that are under the control or at least this way we run. moving into the conflict to try and ensure that home on

anything south of it will not collapse further and that the machine will not totally lose control. on the other side of the as long as militant group that is leading the rebels, h t s is supported by turkey. you have written extensively about turkish foreign policy. so what do you think? turkeys and game is here. of all, i want to be clear, i don't think turkey is exactly pulling the strings of everything that's happening in syria. i had to guess the church government was one aware of what was about to happen, but to caught off guard by the rapid collapse of the syrian regime. and so they're rushing to figure it out just like we are your age, the sort of a low balance hardly went directly under the under service control. and so i think the challenge that on christ going to face is they would rather prefer to talk to hook to hash this out with russians as the point of contact for a charlotte side. and as part of the outreach to the charlotte saw, to ensure that occurred this year,

we encourage out in the north east of the country don't getting any more autonomy or some getting more control over church right along the truck, a syrian border and opera views as a security trend. so it looks like there are 2 scenarios range either and as long as milton group within 2 hondas ideology takes overpower and 0 or a sod stays on an authoritarian leader accuse of torturing opponents is one and for a less complicity in war crimes. at this point, which is the more likely outcome, i think the most likely outcome is eventually the front line will stabilize, the russians will intervene and do the opposition. that includes h t s will control more territory and that turkey and others will try and rescue concessions out of the regime just for negotiate directly with these. with what he's opposition, movement regime is never under any circumstances contemplated really making concessions. and so i think you see, you're the most likely outcome here somewhere in the middle of which is this

complet continues. i'll be at a satisfactory end or any of the parts because we have to remember and people are most messed up or at least the base is the largest consequences list are just normal folks who can't escape the conflict. and we're just trying to live day to day lives in a complex. so now going on over a decade. yeah. and tens of thousands have already been been displaced in his last bout of fighting. what could the regional consequences know zooming out of what's happening in syria at the moment be you have a really interesting dynamic and that one of the challenges around is facing is that it's been beaten down and hit very hard by the israelis a stunning from the is really reactions the october 7th attacks coming from god. we just saw sort of the seas fire versus quote unquote ceasefire. i'm not clear, it's kind of stay in place. and so you have a week in the wrong and the regional dynamics where uh, you know, the, the, the,

the, the ability of any industrial actor to really direct this conflict will be challenge me. is aaron stein from the foreign policy research institute. thank you so much. my pleasure. and or you and report a violence against women shows africa has some of the highest numbers of feminist side. more than $20000.00 women and girls were killed last year. can yet stands out . nearly 100 women have been killed. the last 3 months alone. yes. and the bookcase of the side. it's making the newest can meant killing their wives, girlfriends and but some of the seats and the rising cases of young gulls being killed while they pop a treatise, a steel, wilkins, called free gender based violence against women. and because has long been a he den problem, dr. as the po, quotes, husband abuse tough. now she's trying to help us, we have to empower people to not just the situations where it's kind of happen to be aware of even what i busy is what harassment is and what also to use. because we

as a society, we have really normalize the gen of his violence in such a way that sometimes does a very thin line between for lighting and hot awesome. and especially to all i on golf today, she's showing a film at the university. it tells the story of a friendship between 2 students, which ends up with a young man raping the woman. students and staff members talked about violence of to watch. the moment. do you notice the red flags my mind who will slap you for the 1st time? is capable of killing, that is the mistake that we should the capital as we as made it to take the full name. so that's our lead. he's gone on the found that you're also supporting that and to the men will actually doing all these the needs to stop. and he's going to request from us. we mentally doesn't mention things didn't really improve to, to discuss gender based violence and family side. family side has no place in can

together as a nation, through our consented efforts, we still have to get the spice, the government's national agenda into quite due to commission on head. dr. purity thinking now says action is needed from above and below the government. he's aware, he's awake to these things that's happening. you so the president's fuss and give a 100000000 full assume house the next day you should i really strong statement the people walk. you mean i had, we'd seen us the our process. bela members bill coordinates. we need to speak about this thing. does it be is trying to change how men think about and therefore treat to him and i the peas is either because because they want to, to abuse the possible. it is in their mind, the 1st before they start doing is my hope is to have a safe environment, still walk to speak, and to be who you really want to be. she's not alone. let's see and how colleagues

and came up suggesting every december 5th, former prisoners meet in the memorials, ball room, where the stars, he held celebrations and ceremonies until the fall of communism. the survivors recalled their fates, historians report new findings and artists present their work. the some who serve time here are meeting again for the 1st time. others come regularly like looks candler, who with his 2 friends, carried out the stand on dress bins, famous blue under bridge over the elbow river. the in september 1961, a few weeks after the wall was built,

then 17 year olds planned there during feet. and luckily, i mean, they used to be a milk bog down the well, we have stopped class. that's not a few days later, they were ready, consular and hoss, are met at the bridge just before midnight. a 3rd man cloud schumann had mixed the paint in his father's shop. it's in front of me to i didn't put nice in foot by a kind of the middle of moving up and so i stayed up. thompson hodson went down backwards, risking his life and painted the length. is this done with tops, tops and pins is put about 2006 i have you're supposed to have it down with old brakes replaced out with the state council. let me start over. we agreed that if i didn't say anything, it was okay. okay. but if i would have to talk because he was dressed in black and

people mostly political prisoners awaited sentencing here in the dressing reman center of the ministry for state security. but who was this great, unpredictable power, the stalls, the the ministry for state security was established under the direct guidance of the soviet secret service when the gd r was found. it was a domestic secret police investigative agency and foreign intelligence surface. with 17 raymond prisons of its own the stalls, he was controlled solely by the cd leadership, the shield and sort of the party was the motto, the but behind it for people full time employees that the ged are state security, were not only interrogators prison and wardens and monitors, they were also nurses,

drivers, and kindergarten teachers. in the 1970s, several new apartment blocks for bill, which were occupied exclusively by dresden starting employees and their families. around 2300 people worked in about semester as a building and it's around things their children went to the styles these own kindergarten. there were summer camps where young people were schooled in the spirit of state security. childrens curious city and thirst for action and adventure were exploited for the socialist cause. the comrades of merit were honored. women's day was celebrated and card tournaments were played in the large hall at the headquarters.

a system of the conditioning system to search the size of uh, this was the state security medical surface, an office which was run by a doctor and nurses when they were here to provide medical care for the stuff it's under an exceptional cases. prisoners also received medical treatments here in august on the file for a commemorative chronicle from 1980 proudly mentions that the comrades from the administration no longer had to wait in other medical facilities in dressing and could make better use of their working hours. the next door, the former sitarski villa. this is i just opened the public comfortable this was originally a manufacturer's bill up from the 19th century in 1928 to 29. they simplified it structurally in an english country house style. and in the style of the era,

it was the clubhouse, with offices on the upper floors and a place for socializing and after work, drink sites and all that. because then it's kind of people drank and 8 on the balcony, facing the elbow of the inside of the car. that's how the building was used right up to the end of the guessing. so this is the notes on this, the board of some and there used to be greenhouses on the grounds below. and a dog kennel. many dressed in residents, still remember the loud barking of the dogs that ran along ropes across the terrace property. give an image of the for the dogs were no doubt also there to prevent escape attempts from what i said. but along with this internal security, you have to bear in mind that it was a military facility with perimeter security. and this was the cold war. and the enemy was the western services were not allowed onto this property. the severe,

i don't think kind of insects of the van offices put in there were styles the units in all 14 districts of the g. d. r and berlin, dressed in office, had special significance these a suitcase in the huts trying to give us a specific drug helped by that. and i know that the district was produced and had 1800000 inhabitants at the time portion people worked in agriculture, business and research, as well as coal mining. these were the 3 main economic activities and i've done much, it's on the transit route to south eastern europe. there were several of border crossing points in the districts which were guarded by state security division, 6, livingstone. and, and there was fairly strong an opposition from large emigration movements resulting in many investigations. suppose its when it soak up to mid to end. the 1980s, in particular, this district had the most state security investigations debit so, so it was politically very turbulent from the cd's point of view. police are set and that made this district and it's in ministration here. somewhat special. i'm.
