the, the the, this, the state over here is long from berlin. the french government collapses after a vote of no confidence in its prime minister for sale barney, it will have to tender his resignation after becoming the 1st prime minister to lose such a vote and more of a safety that gave the fall out from not a storage vote line from paris in a few moments. also coming up south korea's opposition begins impeachment proceedings against president young. so if you'll walk outside parliament, people rally against his brief and chaotic imposition of martial long and the battle for control of syria continues. as for charlotte sods forces his back

against rambles, the fighting drive, tens of thousands to flee their home. the uncle, for at least welcome to the show. we begin to 9th and the french capital him on my call. it's very likely that my call will 1st of all say you are staying as a church, take a prime minister. but the president has also said that he would take very little time to find a new person who said that within 24 hours, he would find a new prime minister. this of course, will not split the end of francis problems. there's a huge political crisis, hung parliament here with 3 blocks north. beasley rocks has a majority in parliament and it is incredibly difficult for the french parliamentarians to find a way to work together tends to days. but so we're looking at one of their ears

most powerful countries and potentially being politically paralyzed for an indefinite period of time. what consequences can we expect from the as well? absolutely, that will be a loss of political problems here in france and or even if president court finds a new prime minister. obviously the focus would be a 1st of all to push and budget for 2025 through polymers in one way or the other. if that doesn't happen, the budget is 2024 will be rest of the cases for the next year. you know, that sounds a rice, but it's actually not that good for this country. that is facing 86 percent public deficit this year. and the countries that extends as well, it's actually higher than is g d p. so it really is necessary for the font to bring down spending that we'd be really, really difficult without a pulpit budget for next year. politically speaking, even if there is

a prime minister, i mean, how will he find majority given the majority of given the, even michelle about new use and known to be in his shoot negotiator. he was rex and negotiated on any level. and yet he has not managed to bring enough people behind him together actually to evaluate through this a budget for next year. so who can face this memo task? we don't know for now. prisoner, my call is apparently already talking to different candidates, and we should be no, we should no move within the next 24 hours. at least that's what he said. let's consult the crystal wall for a 2nd. who would you think could be a candidates to, to, you know, step in now as prime minister. so well, there are a few candidates from the left socialist candidates, for example, who said, you know, we volunteer. i only do 4 is the head of the citizen's policy. maybe he wants to stay on top of the idea. would then be actually to bring together people not

telling you from the left wing blog that has for the pot in the pasta. we've already said we want to govern with our program and want to put in place our entire program, which was a problem for all the other parties. so maybe the socialist step up and say, you know, we will try to find a compromise with all parties. some left wing parliamentarians, but also some kind of inheritance from the center, like the modem, which is centrist policy and even some of the members of it might not cause a block or patchy and his is allies. so that would be one possibility. of course, no one really knows at this stage. no one really knows that this dave, thank you so much for updating us anyway. that was lisa larry in paris. thanks so much. and opposition parties in south korea and how big on impeachment proceedings against the president after he briefly imposed martial law even so young was quickly forced to reverse the order after step

resistance and lawmakers who unanimously voted to reject the decision. so kills own party has now voted to support him in the impeachment proceedings camping 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 and stuck your has done something crazy that violates the constitution. basically committed a crew to ty 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, nothing of the. 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. so 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. you know what to do something good. what ahead do 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 where 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 some of the cold when i looked at the full man, we all need help. 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? products, the cues, the president of attempting to tightened his grip on power, struggles to push through his agenda in the office using lead parliament and impeachment requires backing from a majority of lawmakers and the constitutional court parliament is set to vote on the motion. and later this week,

our correspondent james trader is following the story for us and send an update from outside the parliament building in the capital. so of the motion to impeach southcourt as president insult. joel was formally introduce just often midnight local time in the national assembly building. claim me here in sola comes off the opposition policy. members choose the south korean presidents have plunging this country into its west political crisis. in decades as to what happens next with the impeachment, proceedings will needs to happen for south korean presidents. it'd be and page is it that needs to be at 2 sides. majority votes in the 300 member call him so as so the composition how it currently stands in south chris, all and then 2 of 192 members to belong to opposition parties. parties who have already expressed a stain for william salt. y'all has done and so the question really moving into it's as they and as we approach this impeachment vote is whether that will be members from you in salt y'all's own policy at least 8 members who will vote to

impeach that own president. the presidency belongs to that own policy as it relates to the atmosphere here in sole, over the course of this evening, there have been a number of marches and various locations across sol. cooling for you, insult you all to, to step down. and so the question really remains, even if he's able to survive this in future and votes, where the pressure public pressure no, just a month to call them and parents will be so grades that he's forced to resign. nonetheless, a traitor sir, and government forces have launched a counter attack against is, will mess lead levels around the cancer and city of how long this comes. nearly a week after president bush wireless thoughts troops suffered a string of significant losses. the insurgents have already captured large stretches of territory in the north, including sierra, 2nd largest city level. tens of thousands of people are fleeing the fighting has the u. n. warrens of a major humanitarian crisis. and exit is 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. our 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, her a terrier 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 that curtis civilians will not be harmed.

witnesses report being targeted by pro turkish gunman as the 1st to take a melissa, so they just place us against. oh well, they're subject to certain people thing. they would couldn't be help them. so we left and that's why they were saying that there will be a head all heard of that they were telling of terrible thing, get them up 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 of 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. aaron stein is the president of the foreign policy research institute in washington dc. and i asked him whether russia and around will be able to help b sondra gene. this time around it feels like we're at the very beginning

when the russians and the radians intervened in the city or in the civil war. and they are initially intervene because they want it on the fence. the collapse of the syria version was all way 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 to be 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 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 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 her to hash this out with the russians as the point of contact for a charlotte side. and as part of the outreach to the charlotte saw, to ensure that occurred security cards out in the north, east of the country. don't getting any more autonomy or some getting more control over church right along the trigger 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 as 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, movements there was, he was 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 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, 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 certainly cease 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 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 spelling from the foreign policy research institute. thank you so much . my pleasure. and we can take a look now and some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. one of george's opposition figures has been detained. 5 police officers being beaten unconscious in the confidence of lucy, former justice minister and mika,

or ami a heads of the party coalition for change. maybe as a police have been reading off position groups who protested against the government's decision to suspend talks on joining the european union. a major man, honda is underway in new york city after the ceo of large us health insure it was shot dead on wednesday morning. united health care is brian thompson was on the way to an investor meeting. the math shooter appears to have been lying in wait a flood on an e bike rushes war against ukraine has expand as to include thousands of north korean soldiers, hypersonic missiles, and suspected hybrid attacks on ukraine's allies. nato foreign ministers have been meeting and brussels to discuss how best to respond to this escalation, which includes the suspect of the ring of communications cables under the vault exceed continuing support for ukraine and the blocks preparations for the upcoming

donald trump presidency have dominated to talk it over, you corresponding 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 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. then it's 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, of 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. they don't stop short of offerings, ukraine membership and the alliance for the foreseeable future. and with caves, western allies continue to train volunteers and conscripts as the country is facing down. the much larger russian army, it'll be as rosy virtue has got a chance to witness how new your brand new and recruits are being prepared for the front lines and the ok. 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 ukrainian

troops spaces. that's because in total depressing it is facial recognition technology to try and identify and then target a few weeks ago, many of these men had never held the guns. they were ordinary ukrainians, caught up in a conflict. russia started now on british soil. they're being trained to kill lots, but they came to kill us. we must learn to kill the enemy. this is operation into flex a 5 weeks training program that transforms ukrainian civilians into soldiers. it's delivered by trainers from the u. k. and adults and other countries including canada, norway, and then everyone's 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, lima. and then you cool. i've never had to deal with physical exertion with a lot of the past work. didn't involve any exercise experience and now it's

a bit challenging physically. but everything is okay, now let's go watch all last some over some of the last clips. the hardest thing is knowing that my wife is betty 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, i pretty little call. it cuts off some of those delivering the training like vis, ukrainian army psychologist, have already seen active combat. i just know all too well what lies ahead. it's tough to see when that your friends yeah. i've seen friends say yeah, very 1st person. yeah. this less than insulting building infrastructure under fire? is one of these cohorts last for? no, 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 i do need you to catch bag filled with everything from deodorant and boots, to live sydney equipment for battle injuries. the 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 warn a how do you want side? yeah, i'm going to a nice safe one bed. i can go out for a weekend. it's like home then the. this is the 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 align where doing any events. so we're focusing more on the present. it so and for those here that means focusing on their target and learning how when to pull the trigger to germany now and with his government on borrowed time, chancellor or left shots return to parliament earlier today to face questions in his opening remarks, he reiterated jeremy support for the defense of the frame shorts of the war, escalating into a direct confrontation between russia and the nato alliance with control to also stress that had of elections due to be held in february. he wants lawmakers to pass pressing legislation, such as a rent account for cash strapped sherman's guns to block this type of issue are chief political editor, which i like to have now was in the stock and gave us her 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 every seeing, every political exchange has to be seen through that prism of aluminum election. and that's also what it felt like. what was interesting is that when i saw 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, i feel is here right now with a bad news coming in sick and fast. and most recently, the north fault and expense, especially folding the attempt 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 still won't

miss the opportunity to sprinkle in a few issues that he saw as successes that was dw political editor mikayla cruz. now, chancellor shult also spoke in parliament about what a peace settlement for ukraine might look like if the findings stopped while he's rolled out and sending german troops for now, the next big question here in berlin is what role jeremy my flight and keeping a piece a german troops, one day be stationed in ukraine as please keep it. that question is already being put to politicians. for instance, the foreign minister on elena bab bulk around sir diplomatically bake zoo will be the just as we germans have worked for more than a 1000 days for peace. all right, we will of course, also support everything that serves peace in the future from the german side by to meet with all our strength, one touch due to one reason for not giving

a direct answer. the word ukraine appears fell from over, stands for post war peace keeping good thing premature. another reason, the idea of jim intrudes on the ground in ukraine is to boot, given the atrocities committed that by not see forces in the 2nd well will bought with donald trump returning to the white house and followed him. is the landscape thinking about scenarios after the fighting? the possibility, the gemini might face pressure to provide soldiers to maintain peace. now looks great to in the bonus tag, a lot of shouts defended his foreign minister. i can jump single, she was just trying to avoid saying yes or no because it's totally inappropriate to speculate now and this about what will happen later in the event of a negotiated ceasefire and a peaceful situation relationship towards on exist yet the charges i consider it out of the question that we will send troops of german soldiers to ukraine and we current situation quite. and i've almost made that clear and it will remain so

blocks right now with an election looming and down to 3 months time. any saints have such a plan would probably be very unpopular with voters that the main stream policies and debate about gym and treat deployments and ukraine would perhaps be more welcome when the dust has settled off to the election. stay with us now. after a short break, i'll be back to take you through the day. and among other things, we'll be looking at the influence of tech, billionaires on the trunk, to find out how we conducted by the

stepping into this building is an emotional experience. it used to be addressed in head causes of the g d. c. name it's did for the the no, it's just facebook test stories. the

this shadows, these costs and video shed lights on the dog is devastating. colonial har is infected by germany across and he employed to score supposed farms and destroy flights. what is the legacy of this wide spread race as depression today? history? we need to talk about here, the stories, shadows of german colonialism. if you like, history, but with the side of culture, travel and control vesee. this one i'm ready to see what the book us that will for the wow, that's up, i can do it everyday. not every day we encounter so many things that we don't even notice and i just kind of fade into the background. but it is self. i'm trying to

spot my own them. what you say might just surprise. we're going to dig up that the on the everyday things around. where did they come from when, why did they have all the time? i should, we can just search for the day and change them out for the 6 hours that rattled a nation. most south koreans only knew marshal law from tex fox. after all, it has never been involved in the 37 years since the country became a democracy. president jones, so kills declaration sparked fear at 1st and when the circumstances became clearer . bafflement the move, which was reversed by parliament, has raised questions over humans ability to govern the position of martial law. i'll be a short lived, has lunch south korean to turmoil and worried us allies. now,

impeachment proceedings are under way and use move.
