this is also crazy. the is the state that we knew his line from berlin, francis political crisis, the deepest part of the one for paris for a no confidence felt that court else, prime minister, michelle barney's government, leave the country with no clear alternative. also coming up south korea's opposition begins impeachment proceedings against president young. so you'll walk outside parliament. people rally against his brief and chaotic imposition of marshal was the battle for control of syria continues. as for sar, all those thoughts forces him back against rebels. the finding dr. tens of

thousands to play their home. the uncle fairly welcome to the show. we started tonight of france were lawmakers are debating and no confidence motion. that could owls to prime minister michelle barney and his government. the potential fall of a 3 month old cabinet is likely to deepen francis political crisis. the country has been reeling from a polarizing snap election that has left the parliament divided into 3 blocks. none of which has the majority. if successful, the no confidence vote risk leaving france without a government or a bunch it as it hadn't enters the new year. the results are expected within the next hour. hour corresponding lisa louis is that the french parliament where she told us what she expects to see happening tonight as well. right now us,

we are speaking. parliamentarians are making their arguments why they shouldn't very against his budget and therefore against the government. and they'll likely to bring it to out of a later today in 2 or 3 hours. meanwhile, the merle, the world's media has come here from up to not just french media because we all know that this is a crucial moment in french politics. it will increase in some instability here. crohn's will price, you know, a situation with out a 2025 budget and it really will be from the crisis here in front. how exactly did we get here? well, what happened was basically that french president, in my, my call called is not parliamentary elections earlier this year in the fact because he did not have a majority with his party and it's always in palm and that he couldn't increase, increase the number of seats his number of seats in haldeman the offers and how it

backfired. and now we have a young column and with 3 blocks, no one of which has a clear majority print, the president's and my, my club and target to find a prime minister. and it took him 2 months. finally came up with the name of michelle bonnie known to be a very good negotiator. he was also negotiating the breakfast, negotiations of the youth. turns out that he was not able to bring together the different sides of french politics. so that he could get a majority right to right and think of his budget, you know, the different sites are making different arguments. the less to say you're cutting down too much, the pool would have to pay too much the far right to saying, you know, so you should actually, you shouldn't do that much money to make to immigrants. and so everybody is against pays ponds to bring down from dispatch deficits, which is right now this year will sign up more than 6 percent of french cvp. if barney now will actually work for us to resign,

what would that means of france going for at least? well, 1st of all, from what have a catch, how you could government. we have heard from french president in mind that he wouldn't try to find a new prime minister within 24 hours because he knows that time is of the essence. this country needs a budget. you know, if there is no 2025 budgets for 2020 pool budget will be replicated next year. but that's actually bad news for the countries because 50 as budget increase the country's deficit. francis no public debt already spends that unit is higher than it's a g d p. and from really needs to make savings is already paying more money. higher interest rates in the, you know, financial markets to refinance. it said so in any case, rent president will try to find a new prime minister who will try to pop up with a suitable budget for next year. but what would say is the political crisis and

also possibly an economic crisis. the salary in paris following the political crisis there for us. thank you so much for the latest opposition. parties in the south korea begun impeachment proceedings against the president, the after he briefly imposed a martial law yesterday. doing so, he always quickly forced or reverse the order after stiff resistance. lawmakers who unanimously voted to reject that decision also kills own party has voted to support him in the impeachment proceedings, coughing 24 hours that have rocked south korea. a bill of impeachment for south korea's president, opposition parties accuse 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 in such your has done something crazy that violates the

constitution. basically committed a crude 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. the price is a 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. it'd be lifted. you know what to do 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, and we don't like it was an experience that i've only seen in movies. and i realized how much more serious it is then i had imagined. as soon as i called, when i looked at the full man, we only use him 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 many didn't go hard excuse the president of attempting to tightened his grip on power. struggles to push through his agenda in the office using lead parliament. unimpeachable requires backend from a majority of lawmakers and the constitutional court. parliament is set to vote on the motion and later this week. journalist june hobb park is in so an updated us on the latest there. 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. busy at 10 30 pm last night, it's still up in the air as to what he's actually planned up. it's a p p, the people our party, the ruling power party and, and also the prime minister. and the chief of staff of both have all 3 have ment

inside the presidential office with preston, 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. oh, certainly is due on how pack speaking to us from sol. syrian government forces have launched a calendar attack against islam misled rebels around the key city of hama. this comes nearly a week after president bush. charles thoughts troops suffered a string of significant losses. the insurgents have already captured large

stretches of territory in the north, including syria, 2nd largest city level. tens of thousands of people are fleeing the finding as the u. n. warrens 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 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 that curtis 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 our will there subject to certain people thing they would couldn't be have them. so we left and that's why they were saying that there will be a head all curled up. they were telling of terrible thing to them, but for you, meanwhile, fierce fighting is under way close to the key city of hum. 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 messing global politics at play in syria is long running civil

war. aaron stein is the president of the foreign policy research institute, and i asked him whether russia and or on will be able to help the assault regime this time around. it is, feels like we're at the very beginning of when the russians and the radians intervened in this area and civil war and they were initially intervene because they want it from the fence. the collapse of the syrian regime was only out for the stabilize the front lines that they went on. all fans 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 parts of sir ups or rocky militias that are under the control or at least this way of the wrong moving into the car. what 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 as well. i want to be clear. i don't think turkey is exactly pulling the strings on everything that's happening in syria. if 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 lot of the car we went directly under the auditors 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 side, to ensure that the curb security curves up in the north east of the country don't gain any more autonomy or to gain more control over territory,

a longer truck or 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 has one and 4 legs 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 for negotiate directly with these. with what he's opposition movements, the 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 a satisfactory end or any of the parts because we have to remember people are most

uh, messed up. or at least the face of 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 conflict. 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 going to stay in place. and so you have a week in the wrong and the original dynamics where uh, you know, the, the, the, the, the ability of any external actor to really direct this conflict will be challenge me. is aaron spelling from the foreign policy research institute. thank you so much

. i a 2nd look now, can i get the stories making headlines around the world today? one of george's opposition figures has been detained by police after being beaten unconscious in the capital to waste. the former justice administered mika for rami a head's party, coalition for change media, say police reading opposition groups and protested against the government's decision to suspend thompson joining the european union. b. o of a major us health insure has been shot dead in new york city. united health care is brian thompson was on the way to an investor meeting at central manhattan's filtering hotel when he was attacked by a mass shooter who then fled. police suspect it was a target, it murder gave us capitol. havana has been plunged into absolute darkness after the national electricity grid collapsed. the government blames outages to add to the

islands largest power plant. it's the latest of several such incidents and recent ones prompted by dwindling oil imports. i'm in an economic crisis. process war against ukraine has expanded to include thousands of north korean soldiers, hypersonic missiles, and suspected hybrid attacks on ukraine's allies. nato foreign ministers have been meeting in brussels to discuss how best to respond to this escalation, which includes the suspect and suffering of communications cables under the baltic fee, continuing support for ukraine and the blocks preparations for the upcoming donald trump presidency has dominated the talk. so far and our correspond, terry schultz walked us through the main outcomes of the 2 day meeting 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 with the secretary general mark route 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've really got to 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 there 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. nato has stopped short of

offering you for a membership and the alliance for the foreseeable future, but keeps western allies continue to train volunteers, and conscripts as the country is facing down. the much larger russian army. it will be use rosie virtue and got a chance to witness how new ukrainian recruits are being prepared for the front lines and the u. k. these green pastors may look peaceful, but space is a path to crush course in warfare. we're on our way to meet and to find out about ukrainian soldiers who are being trained here in the new case. we can't tell you exactly where we are for security reasons and we can't show any of the new crating trip spaces. that's because we're told the 1st thing is, is facial recognition technology to try and identify and then target audience a few weeks ago, many of these names had never held the guns. they were ordinary ukrainians, caught up in a conflict. russia started now on british soil. there being trained to kill last

person that came to kill us, we must learn to kill the enemy. this is operation into flex a 5 weeks training program that transforms you creating civilians into soldiers. it's delivered by trainers from the u. k and a dozen other countries including canada, norway, and the netherlands. in those states, basic infantry training can take up to a year and many volts or teenagers. but here, the average age is 35. these are men with mortgages, families and regular jobs facing a rapid gear shift robina, then you call, i've never had to deal with physical exertion with a password. didn't involve any exercise in it. so now it's a bit challenging physically, but everything is okay. now let's go out to all last and over some of the logic, but it's the hardest thing is knowing that my wife is very scared for me. why that she is worried. i'm very afraid to be alone. i never left her for more than 2 or 3 days in my past joel, at the principal of some of those delivering the training like this ukrainian army

psychologist has already seen active combat and to know all too well what lies ahead it's tough to say when the front. yeah, we've seen friends say, yeah, very 1st person. yeah. this less than a salty building infrastructure under fire. is one of these cohorts last for now. this is just a drill. the credit in your recruits are safe, and these are only blank roads, but in just a week or so, they'll be facing the real thing. some are already shipping out to the front line before departure, soldiers get a final briefing, a blast of their national anthem. and just needed to catch bag filled with everything from deodorant and boots, to live saving equipment for buffalo injuries. my single impulse that you're going to be looking at is the toner case. obviously if cash perfectly back to the enemy

from a mine like a bunch of wins, shrapnel, british army magic sergeant to mcdonald takes care of the final preparations. how do you feel when you wave them off? i mean, they're going to war. how can you watch that? yeah, i'm going to an i safe one bed. i can go out for a weekend that they call the the, this is, they will, this is the country the, the and they, there was no rest platform it. so if we can do anything to help them make their lives bit easier or best, so a bit safer. just for us to this program is funded until the end of 2025. after that, nobody knows. we're in such a time, both in the world and in ukraine, that it's very difficult to land when it's out of date in any event. so we're focusing more on the presenter to and for those here that means focusing on their target and learning how when to pull the trigger or does or

when he now and with his governments on borrowed time, chancellor or left shots returned to parliament earlier. the phase questions in his opening remarks, he reiterated germany support for the defense of ukraine, short of the word escalating into a direct confrontation between russia and the nato alliance shows also stress that had of elections due to be held in february was law makers to pass oppressing legislation, such as a rent cap for cash strapped german sticking on sebastian. nobody's chief political editor, mikaela cruz now was that the bundle stock and gave us this assessment? 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 everything 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 saw it 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 feel is here right now with the bad news coming in sick and fast. and most recently the no 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, what missed the opportunity to sprinkle in a few of issues that he saw as successes. or does he w as chief political editor, mikaela cruz? now the treatment of minority is continues to strain relations between bangladesh and neighboring india protests and counter protests in both countries. risk

spiraling out of control. after the scenes on monday, the angry crowd of indian hindus broke through security lines and stormed, bangladesh is consular, office and the indian border city of r, atalla, tearing down to bangladesh. she flag the arrest of a prominent hindu leader in bangladesh, sparked interest and tensions are spiking again with a force. now deferring the mon mail, hearing the of bangladesh sees a choke through the streets and anti ended demonstrations demanding, the attackers be punished. our porter, see i'm on top, gosh, is falling developments. india is both starting the security here at the bottom of

the trade commission and daily, and the other diplomatic offices across the country to prevent any for the acts of violence, against a bond with dishes. diplomatic commissions. in india and consulate facilities are suspended independently. and the assistant type omission that was done in august all that have since been august and pull it suspensions over the i took which the indian government describes as the place executive of the pensions are a how you bind him, him to me, to, to, to india. over concerns about bangladesh, just came to mind that you who have allegedly faced persecution, ever since auto critic prime minister, say casino like to india. after being outs that i think the diplomatic time was the sometimes violent protest of the box. today's, including the storming of the concert, over the other stuff into monk, didn't microsoft osh on solution. so just after leading

a huge valley for minus the 2 rights in this part. and secretary if should you were to visit talk on next week. but the andras may complicates his plans without your up to date coming up after the frank talk film takes a look at the 1000000 euro black market for puppies. we'll be back with more at the top of the next down the

for the future feelings about what's going on in the story. instead of being discussed across the continent, dw, and use africa every friday on the w, the that they suffer. many get injured, many died each year, tens of thousands of puppies are smuggled throughout europe. you get peace mountain tracts, illegal puppy traitors across the continental spectrum . oh grove, i've been physically attacked. and of course, there's been threats and the like. that's just part of the job shifter to be a,

getting his head, her eye on a legal puppy mills many puppies. end up with belgian.
